Ciara Barten sits on the hotel room bed, her fingers dance up and down the perfectly defined abs of Sawyer Reed, she smirks as she watches goosebumps rise and fall on his skin, letting out a soft sigh she leans down to kiss that same skin with a happy sound.
“I am so fucking proud of you.”
She rests her cheek to his abdomen, tilting her head to look up at him a genuine smile sits across her lips.
“You and Tins, you're doing amazing things, showing everyone that you don't gotta be a loud mouthed or some legacy to matter in this industry… I wish. Was making even half the impact in the world that you are…”
Sawyer shakes his head, licking his lips.
“Everything I've done or achieved so far has your hands all over it. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have the mindset I do now. So thank you baby.”
He smiles at her, playing his hand softly against her cheek.
“But if you wanted to… To go out and bust ass yourself? I'd be all for doing what I can so you can do that, understand me?”
He keeps his eyes on her and smile on his face. She half smiles and shakes her head, letting out a small sigh.
“That world isn't meant for me Saw…. I'm a teacher, not a fighter; I accepted that a long time ago, I left to find myself and I came back because in my heart, Nightfall is my home.”
Her eyes meet his and she manages a half smile.
“I'm the one who shines the light on greatness, not the one who bathes in it.”
He slowly shakes his head back and forth.
“Nope. I don't take that as an acceptable answer. You have more talent than a ton of signed wrestlers. You just haven't had your name out there since you came back from your sabbatical. Honestly, I think you just need to feel more comfortable… Set some roots or something.”
He sits up and takes her hand in his.
He shakes his head.
“Sorry I can rant like Tinsley at times…”
He chuckles slightly turning back to Ciara.
“What if you moved in with me?”
She sits back for a minute and stares at him, her eyebrows knit together.
“Are you asking me to be your roommate?”
She tries to hide the smile from her face as she inclines her head just a little.
“Since you have that spare bedroom and all….”
He shakes his head and rolls his eyes.
“I figured we could convert that to maybe a gym space or just extra storage. But if you wanna sleep in a different room, on a different bed…”
He makes puppy dog eyes and pouts his lips at her. She leans in and gently kisses his lips with a small smile, sliding onto his lap she wraps her arms around the back of his neck and shakes her head.
“This, is a very big step… moving in together. Are you sure we're ready for this?”
She rests her forehead against his, letting out a slow, steady breath as she stares into his eyes.
“If I say yes, it's not to wrestle, to find a job… it's because I love you and I plan on spending the rest of my life with you; I meant what I said when I said how proud of you I am and I mean it right now when I tell you I am happy to sit back and watch you become a star.”
She kisses him again and shakes her head.
“Because you've always been a star in my eyes.”
He can't help the grin that comes to his face.
“Ciara, I love you… I've never loved anyone as much or as deep as I do you. You could take away the worst pain I've ever experience by moving in with me, because it only happens when you leave to go back to that hotel.”
She leans her head to his shoulder and kisses the side of his neck tenderly with a happy breath.
“Then I'm never going back to that hotel.”
She wraps her arms around him and smiles softly, kissing up to his neck to reach his ear with another smile.
“I am exactly and happily where I need to be.”
He smirks.
“Well you will need to go back to get your stuff and check out of the room…”
He chuckles a bit.
“Hey you deserve that from the roommate comment.”
He winks at her playfully, she looks around the room and meets his eyes with a small smile.
“Baby everything I own is already in this apartment or is still in storage…”
She shrugs slightly and sighs, looking down.
“I don't have much, I kinda left in a hurry before.”
He raises her face up and locks eyes with her.
“Then welcome home.”
