[nichuuu]

Sociopath: Chapter 14 - Amends

"Nabong..."

"Nabong..."

I slowly open my eyes and see Sang-woo staring at me. He smiles widely and pecks me on the forehead.

"Good morning sleepy. It's time to get up..." he whispers.

"Five more minutes..." I groan.

"Ya...I'm not the person who arranged to meet my father at 10 am, am I?"

My eyes snap open and I shoot up, smacking my head against Sang-woo's by accident.

"Ow!" He yelps as he falls back. We rub our heads and chuckle.

"We gotta stop doing this," he chuckles before sliding out of bed. "Go take a shower babe, I'll get breakfast started."

I nod and stretch my arms, the small throb in my head slowly fading. As my boyfriend walks out of the room, I get up and head into the shower to clean myself up.

After a nice refreshing shower, I throw on a set of clothes from my luggage before zipping it up and rolling it out of my room in my small cabin. Sang-woo is in the kitchen, probably cooking up some leftovers for today's breakfast. I silently sneak up behind him and hug him from the back, making him jump.

"Ya! You scared me!"

"I'm sorry honey..." I giggle as I rest my head on his back.

"It's alright baby...you ready for breakfast?"

"I'm always ready for breakfast," I smile. I let go of him and help to pull out the plates and cutlery as he brings the pan out to the dining table. We ate and chatted happily before the conversation eventually wound up going to what was going to happen today.

"So what are you planning to say to him?" He asks as he stabs a tomato with a fork.

"I don't know...I'll go with the flow I guess..."

"Nayeon...we both know you're not good at that."

"Okay, first of all, ouch. Secondly, I can probably wing it, baby. I should be able to come up with some stuff on the spot."

He opens his mouth to say something but closes it.

"Yea...I...I shouldn't be trying to tell you what to say...my bad babe..." he says, his eyes filled with guilt. I smile and take his hand.

"Don't feel fad babe...it's always been in your nature to help others," I say. He smiles and nods.

"Okay...I won't," he replies. I squeeze his hand.

"God, you're so adorable!" I giggle. He blushes.

"L-let's just eat..."

We finish up our meal and clean up, making sure that we leave everything in a pristine state for the next time we use this cabin. We locked up and turned off the power generator, closing up the cabin till the next time we come back before we get into my car.

"I'll drop you back at your place, then I'll go," I explain as we buckle up.

"Awww...not taking me with you?"

"I swear to god Sang-woo...one more fucking time."

"Okay okay I'm sorry!" He chuckles. I huff playfully and roll my eyes. As we drive out of the woods, I take hold of one of his hands and squeeze it. The drive back to his place is filled with comfortable silence as we just enjoy each other's company.

As we approach his residence, he rolls down his window to speak to the guard.

"Resident or guest."

"Resident," he says as he flashes his resident card. The guard nods and opens the gantry and I drive into the basement.

"Try not to miss me too much, okay?" I tease him as he gathers his things.

"You know that's gonna be hard Nabong...by the way, are you coming back for dinner?"

"Of course. No way am I gonna be away for you for an entire day!"

He smiles and pecks me on the lips.

"Jajangmyeon tonight then," he whispers.

"Ooooo...could I also get some squid ink for a palette cleanser?" I grin. He chuckles and ruffles my hair.

"Sure thing my bunny. Alright, catch ya later! Love you!" he says before shutting the door and walking into his block. He waves to me one last time before entering the elevator. I smile to myself as I drive out of the basement and head to Lotte world. As I get onto the highway, my phone rings.

Sang-woo 🥰

"Hey what's up, babe? Did you forget something?" I ask as I pick up the phone.

"Nope. Just wanted to remind you to...well...be forgiving Nayeon...don't be too harsh on him later, okay?"

I smile. Gosh...this man is too pure for this world...

"Alright, babe...I will. Love you."

"Love you too Jagi. See you later!"

He hangs up.

I wonder how such a kind man could even exist. I decide to play some music on the drive there. Opening Spotify, I start playing some IU and sing along as I drive myself to Lotte World.

I finally reach the place of my childhood dreams and park my car. I find myself oddly excited as I get out of my car, a slight spring in my step as I walk towards the entrance. After buying a rather overpriced ticket, I happily walk into the "Perfect Place for Thrilling Entertainment Fun and Rides" (as advertised...) and wait patiently at the entrance for my father. Knowing him, he's not the type to be late. I pull out my phone to text Sang-woo. It was 9:55, he should be here in 5 more minutes.

>I'm here babe!

His reply comes almost instantly.

<Great :). Catch ya later bunny, Sana going ham again 🙄.

I giggle and type back.

>Good luck honey. See ya later!

"Nayeon."

My eyes shoot to the top right-hand corner of my phone.

10 am.

"Punctual as usual," I say as I pocket my phone, looking up at my father.

"I'm a man of my word," he replies. I look him up and down.

"Are you seriously dressed in a 3 piece suit for Lotte World?"

He shrugs.

"Being well dressed is important."

"God...you haven't changed huh?" I remark.

"I..."

"Save it old man. Let's go," I say before walking off.

"W-Wait what?"

"Let's go," I repeat.

"Go where?"

I turn back and look at him.

"For fucks sake we are in Lotte World! Why would I ask you to come here if we aren't here for the rides?"

"Rides? Nayeon, how old are you?"

"26 and very deprived of childhood memories. Come on."

"What? I'll look like a fool!"

"It's either this or no second chance old man. It's your decision."

"I-I..."

"Either way I'm going for a ride. I'll leave you to decide."

I turn my back to him and walk off, not giving two shits about what he decides on. I know his decision a couple of seconds later when I hear him running up behind me.

"This is humiliating..." he complains. I smirk.

"That's on you for wearing a three-piece suit."

"I didn't know that we were coming to Lotte to take rides!"

"That shows that you've hardly been here. And that shows that you haven't been with your child often," I retort. He falls silent as we walk towards our first ride, some sort of water ride. We join the queue and I stare straight ahead, not even sparing a glance at my father. I could feel the tension between us as the queue slowly moved forward.

"So...how have you been?"

"Good."

"Ah...that's nice..."

"I agree."

We fall silent again.

"So you're a business owner now?"

"Yup."

"Following in my footsteps huh?"

I turn and glare at him.

"Following your footsteps? I built this business so I could survive, not to be like you. Don't think too highly of yourself."

"Nayeon..."

"What are you gonna say huh? That you're sorry for what you've done? That your sorry that you tried to kill me?"

At this point, people are turning to stare.

"Nayeon. Please calm down..." he pleads as he looks around anxiously.

Be forgiving Nayeon...don't be to harsh on him later okay?

I huff and look straight ahead once more, Sang-woo's words calming me down as I repeat it over and over again.

"I understand your anger Nayeon but-"

"You understand? Really? Do you understand what it's like to be left for dead then? What it's like having to learn how to fend for yourself, no father, no mother hm? Do you know what it's like to be called a freak in school because you had no one to teach you how to act?"

"I-"

"The answer is you don't. You do not understand my anger, you do not understand even a third of the shit I went through, most importantly, you don't understand the damage you caused cause of your own selfish reasons. If you want to make things right, you won't be telling me this crap."

I turn to look at him and see that he actually has tears in his eyes. I take a deep breath again before speaking.

"I hope you know what to do. I hope you know what today is about. I'm here to see if you've really changed, I'm here to see if I can really call you my father again."

"I-I know Nayeon...I know..." he whispers. I force myself to calm down.

"Let's put this aside for now...let me enjoy myself," I say as I walk up to the boarding gate.

We came out a couple of minutes later, my father completely drenched from head to toe. I can't help but giggle at the sight.

"Well...this suit is ruined..." he huffs. I roll my eyes.

"That's on you. Come on, let's look for another ride."

"Could...could I at least get a change of clothes?"

I look him up and down before sighing.

"Fine...let's get you something to change into..."

We walk to a nearby shop and head in, the cashier glaring at my father who was dripping water all over the floor. I walk over to the T-shirt section and gesture for him to walk over.

"There's some t-shirts here. Pretty sure there are shorts somewhere behind this section. When your done, meet me outside," I say flatly before walking out. I lean against a nearby wall and pull out my phone, scrolling through emails and replying to some while waiting for him to finish up.

Why would someone come back and apologise after 14 years?

This question stays in my head as I place my phone into my pocket and lean my head against the wall closing my eyes as I delve into my thoughts. Since young, my father's rare appearance inn the house never meant anything good. It was normally a sign that he wanted something, or was just there to beat me...

"I'm ready."

I open my eyes and see that my father is standing there, a plastic bag in one hand as he stood there in his new Lotte World t-shirt and shorts.

"Good. Let's go."

I turn and walk away, my father following silently behind.

"Where to now?"

"I don't know. How about you pick?" I suggest, trying to be more friendly.

"Um..."

He looks around the indoor section of the place, unsure of where to go.

"There's an outdoor area too you know?" I say.

"Yes, let's go there."

The walk there is in silence until I decide to speak.

"So why appear after 14 years?" I finally ask, voicing the question in my mind.

"Like I said Nayeon...I want to apologise."

"But why so sudden? Did you take that long to realise that you fucked up?"

"Yes...that and...I didn't know you were alive."

I scoff.

"Of course, you didn't. You thought I died in that car crash, didn't you? Didn't you read the news? Didn't you see that the girl was rescued? Or did you not care?"

"I couldn't read the news even if I wanted to!" He snaps. We stop walking and face each other on the bridge.

"Why? Cause you're a fucking coward?"

"No! Because my father wouldn't let me!"

Silence falls between us as we both process what he just said.

"What?"

He sighs and pinches his nose bridge.

"Is there somewhere we can sit for this?"

I look around and see a tteokbokki restaurant nearby. I gesture for him to follow me and we walk towards the restaurant. We head inside and get a seat.

"Talk," I say flatly. He sighs and rests his arms on the table.

"That car accident...the death of your mother...it wasn't planned by me."

"Then who was it planned by? God? Don't give me that shit, the driver himself told me that you planned it."

He sighs and leans back in his seat.

"I...I knew you would say that."

From his pocket, he produces a tape recorder and placed it on the table.

"Play this."

"What the hell is that?"

"A recorder that I kept in my office at the time. Play it."

"Look, I-"

"Do you want the truth or not, Nayeon?"

I look at him dead in the eyes as he challenges me. Maintaining eye contact with him, I grab the tape recorder and pull it towards me, hitting the play button on it.

"What do you mean you handled it?" My father's voice rings out.

"That girl has been nothing but a curse to us. It's best to have them killed." Another voice said.

"What? Are you insane? First, you force me to keep having sex with my wife to give you another heir, then you force me away from my only child. Now you're planning to kill my wife and my daughter?"

"You will not speak to me like this Seung-won! I am your father!"

"And I am done with this shit! I'm tired of following your orders just to improve business for you. I'm done neglecting my daughter for your own sick needs. I am done!"

"You think you can just pull out of this easily? You're the sun of Im Dae-hyun, you know that you can never pull out if this...besides...the plan was made under your name."

"WHAT?"

The other voice laughs.

"Their blood is on your hands now Seung-won...should you choose to leave, you will be hunted down by the police. But if you go along with my plan...I can keep you and your wife safe..."

"You're sick!"

"I'm not sick dear son...just thinking of business opportunities."

He stops the recording. I lean back in my seat, unable to process this.

"So...it was planned by harabeoji?"

"Yes..."

"And you went along with it?" I ask through gritted teeth, my eyes beginning to water.

"Nayeon...I had no choice...if I didn't go along with it, your Eomma-"

"Don't use her as an excuse!" I yell. The restaurant goes quiet as eyes turn to us.

"Nayeon-"

"You could've taken us and ran. You could've hidden us away! But no, you chose to go along."

"You think I didn't want to Nayeon? Do you think I didn't want to run away from this? As much as I wanted to, I couldn't! He's too powerful Nayeon, he has contacts everywhere!"

We're both standing now, staring each other down.

"Sir...ma'am, is everything okay?" A concerned waiter asks. I wipe the tears from my eyes as I continue to glare at my father.

"Yes...we're fine."

"O-Oh...okay then...if you guys need to talk it out could you...go outside?"

"Yes...I was just about to leave actually," I say as I pick up my bag and walk out.

"Nayeon wait!"

I ignore him as I storm out of the restaurant, tears blurring my vision.

"Nayeon," he calls out to me as he grabs my wrist. I turn and slap him right across the face.

"Get away from me!" I yell. He stands there, stunned.

"I-I came here...thinking that you finally wanted to make amendments, to repent...but that recording...it just showed me that you never cared for me at all...it showed me that you never cared and you never will."

"Nayeon please...you haven't heard the last part of the recording."

"I don't need to hear it! Let go of me!"

"Nayeon, please!"

"Let me go!"

While holding on to me, he hits play again.

"Business opportunities? You call killing my daughter a business opportunity?"

"Sacrifices are needed for the greater good Seung-won...you're just too blind to see it..."

"I love my daughter...I love her with everything I have...but you...you force me to neglect her, beat her, treat her like shit! And what is your reason? She is a girl. A girl for god's sake! What do you have against her? She's as human as you!"

"Human? HUMAN? That girl is a wench! She's casting a spell on you! Making you blind to the fact that she's a curse!"

"DO NOT TALK ABOUT MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT!"

"I WILL TALK ABOUT HER ANY DAMN WAY I WANT!"

A phone ringing interrupted them. Rustling can be heard.

"Yeoboseyo?" My grandfather says.

"Sir...it's been done...the car has been crashed."

"Excellent."

"B-But there seems to be an extra casualty sir...Manse reported that...that the wife was in the car as well."

"No worries. Come back to base."

"Yes sir."

Silence fills the recording.

"I've just made your choice for you Seung-won. You don't need to worry anymore."

The recording ends, properly this time.

I look up at my father and see tears in his eyes as well.

"I...I didn't know of this Nayeon...I didn't know that...that you were going to be killed till it happened...I wanted to take you guys and run...but I couldn't. By the time h-he told me...it was too late..." he whispers. He looks at me, his tears falling down his face as well.

"Nayeon...I loved you so much back then, but...but I was forced away from you...I was forced to hit you...I was weak Nayeon, I wasn't strong enough to resist his orders."

He gently places his hand in mine.

"But I'm strong enough now Nayeon. I wasn't your father back then...but...I'm strong enough to be your father now...forgive me Nayeon...forgive for all that I've done..."

I stare at him, unable to form words.

Am I ready to give this man his second chance? After all the torment he put me through? After knowing why he had to do it?

No one's objectively a bad person Nayeon, just morally lost or confused...

We all have our reasons...now I know his true feelings...

"Did...did you come and find me cause...cause you found out I was alive?" I whisper.

"Y-Yes...I...I saw the news article about you attending Jennie's party and...I immediately tried to find you..."

"But why?"

He looks up at me.

"B-Because I...I miss my daughter Nayeon...I want to see her again after she was taken away from me...I just wanted to remember what it felt like to see her smile, hear her laugh and watch her walk...I...I wanted to bring back the good memories before they were taken from me...and before the good memories were taken from you..."

Hearing those words, I couldn't help but see myself when I first met Sang-woo...so scared to show myself, afraid of being vulnerable...but that's not me anymore...things changed because of him...

And things can change because of me.

I can be his Sang-woo...

With that, I made up my mind.

I'm ready to accept him.

"You put me through hell...you left me neglected..." I whisper. "But...now that I know why you had to do it," I say as I look up at him, "I can see why you had to do it...I know your reasons and I know your true feelings now...I know that...that you cared all along...right?"

"Y-Yes..."

I smile and squeeze his hand.

"Now that I truly know that...my heart can rest...I...I forgive you...Appa."

For the first time.

For the first time in years.

I see father smile.

"R-Really?"

I nod.

"Yes. Let's...let's start afresh, Appa. Let's take it back to the way things used to be...the way it should've been."

He pulls me into a hug, his body starting to shake.

"Thank you, Nayeon...thank you..."

I too shed some tears as I hug him back, welcoming an embrace that is new to me, an embrace I always longed to receive.

"I-I promise that I will make up for everything that I've d-done...I'll be the best father you can ever ask for..."

"Just don't over exert yourself old man," I chuckle. He chuckles as well as he grips my shoulders and stares at me.

"That secretary of yours is a lucky man..."

"W-Wait...how did you..."

He laughs.

"You said it while I was...busy being an asshole to him and you...and I apologise for that."

"Ya...you better be. One more time you lay a finger on him I'll be sure to bite you!" I joke as I bare my bunny teeth. He laughs and ruffles my hair.

"Alright, alright...Ya, we should arrange to meet him for a meal sometime...what was his name again? Sang...Sang..."

"Sang-woo Appa. Like the guy from Squid Game."

"Ah, yes! I totally remember that!"

I laugh. I've never seen this side of him before.

"Sure you do, old man."

"Ya! I'm not that old! I'm only 56!"

"What? You're so young?"

"What age do you think I was huh?"

"Hell, I thought you were dead!"

"Ya!"

I giggle as he ruffles my hair.

"Don't curse me like that!"

"Okay, okay...joesonghamida, Appa."

He smiles a sweet smile that reminds me of my mother's.

"No worries pumpkin."

Hearing that pet name shocks me.

"H-How did you know Eomma called me that?"

He chuckles.

"Every night when she read you a story...I'd sit just outside the door and listen...imagining myself right next to your mother, tucking you in..."

I smile, recalling those times.

"Jinja?"

"Mhm."

"Gosh...I never knew...then I wouldn't have talked so much shit about you!" I joke. He laughs.

"No, no...it just reminded me that I had to make things up to you."

"Well, that's what you're doing now aren't you?" I smile. He nods.

"I guess so."

"Then let's enjoy this day hm? Let's put the past behind us, clean slate."

He squeezes my hand.

"Clean slate," he echoes.

***

"Come on, Appa! Last one I promise!" My daughter says as she drags me towards the Ferris wheel.

"Nayeon-a...I'm not sure if I can take any more fast rides..."

"Aish...does that look fast to you?" she asks as she points at the slow-moving ride...I still don't trust it.

"No...but-"

"But nothing, old man, come on!"

She practically drags me into the queue as we wait for our turn.

"Are you sure this one's not fast?" I ask once more.

"Nope. Look how slow it is!"

"But that's how all the other rides started! Slow then they gain speed!"

"Appa, does it look like there's any gain in speed?" she sighs as she points at the rotating wheel, which is currently spinning slower than the queue to enter the damn attraction.

"I-I...I guess not..."

"Then stop whining! It'll be fun, trust me!"

I look at her and sigh.

"Fine..."

She smiles.

"Yay!" she squeals excitedly. My heart warms as I see her look up at the ride with an excited twinkle in her eyes. My god...is this what I missed? Is this what was taken away from me?"

"Ya, Appa, stop staring at me like that, it looks weird."

I chuckle.

"Can't I admire my daughter?"

She smiles.

"You sound so much like Sang-woo when you say that."

Ah yes...her boyfriend...gosh, I need to apologise for slapping him...

"Does he say that a lot?" I ask. She nods with a smile.

"So much. Like, he just stares at me. And when I ask him what he's doing, he says 'Just admiring my beautiful girlfriend'. He's so cheesy and I love it," she says, a dreamy look in her eyes. She really loves this boy, doesn't she?

"Tell me more about him," I say.

"You sure? I won't be able to stop myself you know?"

"Go ahead...it's what a father's here for right?"

She grins from ear to ear.

"Alright then! God...where to start...oh! Let's start with his personality!"

And just like that, she goes off ranting as we slowly inch forward in the queue. Her eyes seem to light up more and more as she gets even more animated by the second as she talks about her boyfriend.

In my eyes...I see that little girl, running into her mother's arms as she starts going on and on about her day, while I...I could only watch from afar, wishing that I could be there with them.

Since young, things were never easy. Being the youngest of 2, it was always a competition between me and my brother from the beginning to see who deserves to take over the business. I was foolish, naïve...blindly following my father's wretched ways, thinking that money and taking over the family business was all that mattered...even after I got married...I still continued to chase after my father, practically licking his shoes to get on his good side.

But...when Nayeon came into this world and I held her in my arms for the first time...I...I finally felt like...maybe, just maybe...there's some things in life just more worth than what gold can get you...but of course...my view was tainted by my father. The moment he saw that I could have children (unlike my brother), he immediately saw me as an asset. Me being me...I blindly started following him like a dog, practically breeding my wife as we tried time and time again to get a boy.

When things started to seem hopeless, my father immediately blamed Nayeon, saying that she was a curse and needed to be gotten rid of. But this time...I couldn't follow him anymore. I had come to realise that...that I love my daughter, this ball of sunshine that I brought into this world. But no matter how hard I tried to go back to them, my father pulled me away, again and again, forbidding me from seeing my own daughter.

One day, he came into my office, telling me of this magnificent plan he had to kill off my daughter.

"We'll stage a car crash," he said. "No one would ever suspect us."

That was the day I knew that I had to put my foot down, to stop him from dehumanising my daughter like this. We fought, we quarrelled, we argued. Little did I know that my daughter and my wife were on their slow approach to death. By the time I knew...it was too late...Se-ah was dead...and so was Nayeon...at least that's what I thought.

After that day, I dissociated myself from my family, refusing to go down the dark path. So I stole some money and ran to start afresh, away from those wretched people. In my heart, was a stone that weighed me down, the guilt of knowing that I could've done better...could've been a great father if it weren't for myself ass...now because of me, the two people I loved the most in this world were gone...

Imagine my surprise when 14 years later, I see an article in the news, with a name I knew all to well.

Im Nayeon.

I have never gotten to work so fast in my life.

I used database after database in the private detective business that I started...and I found her...after thinking she was dead...I found her...

Here we are now, father and daughter, trying to repair a hole in the wall of our relationship, slowly building back to what it could've been.

"Appa...you're stoning again aren't you?" She giggles. I shake my head, snapping out of my trance.

"W-Wha..."

"Knew it!" She smiles. I blush slightly.

"Sorry, Nayeon..."

"No worries, it happens to me too...oh look! It's our turn!" She says as one of the carriages start descending in front of us. The worker instructs us to get in and the two of us scramble in, making the carriage sway.

"Woah!" She says. I stabilise her and she smiles gratefully. We slowly begin to ascend, the view of the theme park filling our sights.

"Wahhhh..." Nayeon muses as she pulls out her phone to take a few photos. Her excitement today never seems to cease.

"It's pretty!" She smiles as she settles down next to me. Her head finds its way onto my shoulder as she rests her head there. My entire body freezes, unsure of what to do.

"Ya, don't be so tense, Appa...you're my father right? Put your arm around me or something! This is what dads do!"

"D-Do they?"

"Yea! Come on!" she says as she picks up my hand and drapes it around her shoulder. Her eyes stare out into the distance as she lets out a sigh.

"You know...I've always dreamed of this day...where it would just be the two of us, sitting somewhere as you held me close...I...I really wanted this..." she remarks. A pang of guilt hits me in the gut as I stare at her, unsure of what to say.

"But now, I don't need to dream of it anymore...cause we can have more moments like these...right, Appa?" She grins. I smile and nod.

"Of course pumpkin..."

"Great..."

We fall silent, enjoying this small father, daughter moment that we are sharing.

"Do you miss her?" she asks out of the blue.

"Miss who?"

"Eomma."

"Every day...Se-ah was a big part of my life...when I lost her...I...I felt like I had lost everything...she was so much like you, Nayeon...smart, charismatic and even as naughty as you...everything was perfect till...well till I was an idiot..."

She looks up at me.

"What made you follow his orders, Appa?"

I sigh.

"I was a fool, Nayeon. I was busy fighting with my brother to get on your grandfather's good side that I forgot that...some things are worth more in life. Some things can't be replaced...like my daughter, like my wife...but now, it's too late...the best I can do is make things right with you."

She smiles warmly at me.

"And that's what you're doing now aren't you? Doing what you couldn't back then."

"Yes...but-"

"It wasn't your fault, Appa. We were all young and foolish...we all were blinded by greed at some point...we were all dumb, Appa."

"But I could've done better Nayeon...I could've-"

"It's okay, Appa...I know what happened, you had no control...but now's your chance to make things tight with me again. Start building the bridge pillar by pillar, brick by brick. We'll do it together, okay?"

She's grown...she isn't the childish, baby girl I knew back then...boy have I missed so much.

"Thank you, Nayeon...for giving me this second chance."

"As someone told me before, everyone deserves a second chance," she replies, giving me a hug. I hug her back, holding her tight.

Soon, our time on the ride was up. We descended back down to the ground and walked back towards the exit, hand in hand.

"Well...I had fun today, Appa," she smiles.

"Me too Nayeon...and once again, thank you, I won't let you down."

"I know you won't...I'll text you tonight okay? I got someone waiting for me at home," she explains. I laugh and nod.

"Alright, go back to him Nayeon."

She giggles and lets go of my hand.

"See you, Appa!" She waves before skipping off. I watch her body slowly shrink as she gets further and further. A small smile finds its way onto my face as I gently to inch the ring on my finger.

"Yeobo...I've made amends. You can rest easy now Se-ah," I whisper. My moment gets cut short by my phone ringing.

"Yeoboseyo?" I answer.

"S-Sir...w-we have activity..."

Shit.

"Alright, I'm on my way."

WARNINGS: smut, cheating

Cynthia walked into catering to go meet Nick. She saw Roman sitting with The Usos and his girlfriend. We made eye contact and he stopped talking to say hi to me. "Hey Cynthia."

I walked over and greeted everybody. "What's up." I smiled standing by Roman. "What's up!" R-truth yells from across catering. I just shake my head at him. "You just leave me hanging like that? I see how it is now."

"What's going on little Uce?" Jimmy chuckles.

"Yea its been a little while since you spent some time with us. What The Authority ordering you around?" Roman says giving me a hug picking me up. And then squeezing my ass where no one will notice the action. I resisted the urge to wrap my legs around his waist, it was really tempting.

I'm pretty sure Jey did see but since Roman's back was to the girlfriend she probably didn't. I glare at him when he puts me down and pull back. He just chuckles and smirks at me while he sits down.

"No nothing like that I actually just left creative. They want to put me in a storyline. They don't know with who yet and what's going to happen but yea." While I was talking Roman was literally undressing me with his eyes and licking his lips. Way to be subtle Reigns. I was wearing a white short sleeve shirt that showed a bit of cleavage and a black pencil skirt with black heels. Jey noticed him staring and kicked Roman under the table. 

"Well congrats and I hope it works out for you." Jey says.

"Thanks. I'm going to go find Nick so-hey." Just then Nick comes and sweeps me away from them. We were just a table away from them.

"What the hell was that?" Nick says. "What-"

"Don't you dare say 'what are you talking about'. You know exactly what I'm talking about. I saw everything. If you two are going to secretly have sex don't openly grope each other in public." He whispers sternly.

"What's up with you and Lana?" I say changing the subject. I did not grope him.

"We uh. We're doing great! We, actually are going public tonight. So you are the first person to know. You should be honored to be the first to know."

"Awww its so cute that you think that i'm the only one that knows." I say pinching his cheeks. "Come on Nick you two haven't been exactly secretive about your relationship."

He blushes. "Shut up. At least I'm admitting my feelings for the person I'm into." I look down because I know what I'm doing is wrong but I cant help it. It was just suppose to be sex. I wasn’t suppose to catch feelings but I did. And now I'm kinda stuck because he's in a relationship and I'm not. But there's just always been something about Roman even before we started this.

"I know I know ok. I caught feelings when I wasn't suppose to. Sue me."

"Hey come on I was joking. I'm sorry." Nick squeezes my hand. I tell him don't worry bout it. Roman and his girl walks by but I don't look at them.

Later that night...

It was only a one night stand. I need to get over it. Thinking about it isn't going to do shit. Its not like he'll just come to my room, have sex and actually stay the night because he decided to be with me. Right? Get it together Cynthia! Cynthia was in the shower moping over a guy that she knew she couldn't have. Even though she had dinner earlier she was still hungry. Perks of having a high metabolism. she thought. She just needed something quick to get rid of the emptiness in her stomach.

Cynthia started to think about Roman again as she sat down and ate her midnight snack. She thought about the amazing sex that happened after the pay per view in his locker room. All this happening while everyone was either in catering or watching the matches.

She thought about his mouth. How it sucked and nipped at her heat while her hands were in his hair. How his tongue worked inside her heat and played with her clit. She was starting to get wet just thinking about it, especially when they continued at the hotel.

Roman was always a great person to be around. His laugh was just infectious like his smile. Now that she thought about it he would always try and find an excuse to be near her. She'd be in his arms and she had felt loved. Being his friend is not enough for her anymore. She has tried to get out of this infatuation or crush faze but it just wasn't happening. So she tried to avoid him and be around other people, like Cesaro, he's a sweetheart. But he's no Roman her heart tells her. She looks at her phone for the time 12:38am. She didn't want to bother Nick because he is out and about with Lana. 

Paige and Foxy are out and she rather not go out again. If she hadn't shaken herself from her thoughts she would of missed the knocking on her door. She's not stupid. She knows who it is and she hopes that he will take the hint and go away.

"Cynthia. Open up." He knocks again. "Cynthia please open the door. I know you are in there." More knocking. She doesn't move from her spot though. She just sits there and doesn't make a sound. "Babygirl." He says in that deep baritone voice that sends shivers down her spine everytime.

Cynthia sighs and gets up to open the door a little bit. "What can I do for you Roman? I'm a bit tired tonight and I need some rest." He doesn't hear a word I say just looks at me up and down.

I had on black shorts and a robe with no shirt. I realize I had not tied my robe and my purple lace bra was showing. "May I come in?" I raise an eyebrow at him. "Not in that way...well not yet anyways," He smirks. I roll my eyes and let him in.

As soon as I close the door I'm being lifted and pushed up against it. "I thought you we weren't going to do this yet?" I tell him. He answers me with a bruising hard kiss. I moan against his lips and grind against his hips making a sweet friction.

He groans softly and grind back against my heat. "And I keep my word. This is going to be a long night babygirl hope you don't mind," he says against my lips. He starts to kiss across my jawline down my throat and makes sure to mark my neck. He goes back to my lips and start to grind hard.

I moan into his mouth as my fingers run through his hair and grind back against his erection. He pulls back and put my over his shoulder leading us to the bedroom. "Roman Reigns if you don't put me down right now!" I squeal at him.

He just chuckles and slaps me on the ass as we get to the bed. He lays me down on the bed and straddle my thighs. "You're so beautiful you know that," He says.

It slips out before i can stop myself. "I'm not that beautiful if you wont make me yours." My eyes goes wide and I cover my face with my hands in embarrassment.

He sighs. He moves my hand from my face and put them above my head. "Cynthia you are beautiful. You're special to me. You always have been. If you don't believe me then I guess I have to show you," he tells me looking into my eyes.

"Roman I-" he cuts me off by kissing me. I try to run my fingers through his hair but he pulls back.

"Uh uh. I want to make you feel good tonight. Make you feel beautiful. Okay?" I nod my head yes. He starts to kiss me on the lips and makes his way down to my chest. He flicks his tongue on one nipple as one of his hands pulls me forward as he begins to suck on it.

He then removes my robe and throw it haphazardly on the floor and releases my nipple with a pop and moves to the other. Roman keeps eye contact with me as he suddenly bites down on it. I didn't realize i was completely naked until I felt him suck on clit.

"Aaahhh! Fuck Roman. Mmmm...feels so good." Instead of going straight to my heat he goes to nip and kiss at my left thigh. Breathes against my dripping core, suck on my clit and then nip and kiss at my right thigh. Then he goes back to my heat and blows a steady breath. A shiver goes through my body. I hear Roman chuckle at me and goes back to sucking on my clit. I move my hips to get Roman to give me more. "Please Roman."

"Please what babygirl? Tell me what you want me to do." He teases me.

"Aaahh...Ro- ahhh!" Roman's tongue plunges deep inside me. I arch my back and move against his mouth that was devouring my pussy. Roman puts an arm down on waist making sure I don't move and starts adding his fingers. "Roman...oh fuck...yes! Yes! Just like that...mmm." Oh my god...this is too much. I cant take this much longer! Oh please no more! "Roman...Roman...I'm..."

"Let go baby. Cum for me." He says. I cum hard screaming his name. He licks and sucks all through my orgasm and leaves a kiss to my clit.

He kisses back up to my body and suck on my neck. I moan and slip my hands between our bodies and palm his erection. He breath catches slightly. I bite my lip and look into his eyes as I stroke him through his basketball shorts. He moans and bites my neck not enough to break skin and bleed but licks it to smooth the slight pain. I slip my hand in his shorts and he tells me stop before he can't control himself and take me.

"Now babyboy you know you will take me but the question is HOW you will do it," I teasingly tell him while stroking him faster. He moves into my hand as he moans in my ear. He quickly moves my hand and put it above my head again.

"You need to stop." He pleads. I push him on his back and ground on top of him and kiss him. "Uhhh...fuck baby...just like that...mmm...oh yea...fuck!" As I continue to grind on him I start to kiss on his jawline down his throat. "No! Stop I'm suppose to be pleasing you."

"Then you better get inside me quick." I moan.

He doesn't hesitate in getting me on my back again. He gets up and quickly strip off his clothes. He lays beside me and pulls me on top of him. I slowly slide down his erection and we kiss to I was ready to move.

I grind down on Roman making him groan loudly. I move up and down his length as I moan in ecstasy being filled by Roman's length. Roman grabs onto my hips and thrusts inside me faster and harder. "Thats right baby...ride this cock...uhhh...god you feel so good...so close." He pulls out. "Hands and knees baby. I need to be deeper inside you," he whispers. I get on my hands and knees and he slams into me in one thrust. He sets a brutal fast pace and I'm loving every single second of it. "Uhhh yes...fuck...oh my god...you should see my cock disappear in your tight pussy baby," he says and gives my asscheeks a squeeze and a smack.

"Roman...fuck...more please...give me more." I beg him.

He gives me another smack and pulls out again. I was going to ask him why he pulled out when he flips me over and thrusts back in. This time he goes slow and i wrap my legs around his waist. Ours lips connected in a lip locked, our bodies sweaty. As his thrusts begin to pick back up my nails are leaving marks all down his shoulders and back. Roman lifts one of my legs and puts it on his shoulder and I arch my back moaning. He drives deeper inside me as he moans on my neck. We're both close now. I can feel his member pulsing just as the tightening in my stomach is ready to burst. All I need is. One. More. We both moan each others name as our orgasm hit. As we catch our breath. I try to not think how ill feel in the morning when he is not there beside me.

"You think too much. I'm going to be here when you wake up. I'm done pretending to be happy with someone else when I know that I'm truly happy with you. You're the only one for me. You always have been. I promise you ill be here. Forever," he tells me as he looks in my eyes.

I kiss him one more time. "You better."

The next morning

I wake up and look beside me. The bed's empty. Yep to good to be true. As I got up to get some coffee I smelled food. I walked into the kitchen Roman was naked making coffee. Now that is a sight I would love to see often. I wrap my arms around his waist and leave a kiss on his back. 

"I wouldn't mind waking up to this in the morning. A naked Roman Reigns in my kitchen? Fangirls would go crazy." I joke.

He chuckles and turns around and puts me on the counter. "Did you think I left?" He asks.

I sigh. "Yea. I did. I'm sorry Roman. It's just that-" he shuts me up with a kiss.

"Don't worry about it babygirl. Like I said I keep my word. Now how bout we have a little fun before breakfast?" He squeezes my thighs suggestively.

9. Hard

Jackie

Texting away with Quentin, I just couldn’t help but smile and think about how lucky I am to have him. We’ve been going on a solid two and a half months in this relationship and he is just a breath of fresh air. He’s charming, sweet, mature, and so caring when it comes to me. He’s always uplifting and inspiring me, and I’m falling hard for him. He’s already met my family and I have met his as well, but we haven’t gone far in the intimacy department and we have not exchanged any ‘I love yous’. He’s just perfect. Of course, Anthony has not stopped bothering me since that day at school and he keeps trying to get me to be his friend, but I’m so good on that. Once he found out about bae, the harassment got worse and he’s been a total ass, further pushing me away from him.

Chilling in the living room with Lita and Kevin, I frowned at them being all boo’d up as I third wheeled with Bosco Jr. “I know BJ, I’m annoyed too.” “Ok, sis, what’s wrong?” “I miss my baby and you two being all cuddled up isn’t helping.” “I mean, you got your own room...” Kevin said causing Kolita to gasp and hit his chest. “Damn, girl!” “Don’t listen to him, he’s dumb. Why don’t you call and invite him over?” “He’s packing right now. He’s going to Chicago to interview about a possible internship.” “Awww. Well, call him anyway. You two could spend time together; it’ll be like a going away present.” Thinking on her words, I nodded before going to call him.

Not even five minutes later, he was knocking at the door and I was more than excited to see my boo. “Hey, beautiful.” “Hey, baby.” I cheesed kissing him sweetly as he scooped me up. Walking to the living room, I watched Kevin get all hard in the face as Li got up to say hi. “Baby, you know my twin, Kolita and her boyfriend, Kevin.” “Nice to see you.” “Sup.” Kevin said rudely denying him as he tried to shake his hand. “Ummm, ok. So what movie you wanna watch?” “I haven’t picked one yet, will you help me?” “Of course, beautiful. Lead the way.” He smiled kissing me before we headed upstairs to my room.

Jumping for the fifth time tonight, I hid my eyes while bae just sat and laughed quietly. “That’s not funny.” I pouted. “You are so cute, you know that?” Quentin smirked wrapping his arm around me as I held onto him. Giggling, I snuggled closer to him as we ate snacks and watched scary movies in my room. “Are you excited for your trip tomorrow?” “Yea, I am a little nervous though.” “Why is that, baby?” “This is a huge opportunity, bae. I could be interning for Barack Obama this summer. It’s my dream job.” “Quentin you’re intelligent, passionate, kind... you’re perfect for this job, baby. You’re everything.” Smiling, he touched my chin before kissing me for probably the millionth time since he’d been here. Ugh his lips are everything.

Deepening the kiss, it quickly turned into a makeout session as he sat me on his lap and rubbed my booty. “Mmmm, bae wait.” “I’m sorry. I’m moving too fast aren’t I?” “No, I just wanna make sure that we’re you know... Protected.�� Leaning over to my night stand, I grabbed a condom and held it up for him. Smirking, he grabbed my hands and kissed up the side of my neck as I stifled my moans. “Are you sure?” “Yes, baby.” I whimpered as he sucked harder on my spots moving down to my shoulder.

Kolita

Watching the movie, I noticed Kevin texting away on his phone. “Who are you texting?” “Don’t worry bout it.” “Don’t worry about it? Kevin, who the fu-” “Hold up real quick. Hello? Yea, he here, I’m over at her place right now. You tryna slide? Bet. See you in 5. Aight, bye.” “Kevin, who the fuck was that?” “Anthony.” “Why would you call him over here for and exactly what are you two bout to handle?” I pressed folding my arms. “He finna slide through and we gone handle this Quentin dude.” “No! Anthony can just back the fuck up and let Jackie be happy.” “Man, fuck all that shit you talking bout.” “Woooow, I really can’t fucking believe you right now. What is your issue?” “Fuck you mean, what’s my issue? I’m looking out for my nigga! Not about to let no square ass dude come in here and take what’s his.” “Your fucking homeboy is the one that hurt my sister to begin with, fuck that nigga! Quentin is a wonderful guy for Jackie!” “So is Anthony!” “Why the fuck are you even so worried about who my sister is seeing?! You don’t ever have this attitude when dudes is hitting on me.” “Because you not stupid.” “Oh really?” “Really!” “Bet, you can leave. We’re done.” “Lita, you don’t mea-“ “Go! We’re done! Bye.” Grabbing his shit, I got up to let him out the house, and opened the door to see Anthony standing there. “Where he at, bruh?” He spat with venom in his tone. “Upstairs. Her room.” “Bet.” Pushing me out the way, I almost fell but quickly recovered before chasing after him to Jackie’s room. I swear I can’t stand niggas!

Tyler

She really thought she was just gone be done with a nigga and I was just supposed to sit back and allow that shit?! Jacqueline Ellis is mine and will always be mine! Fuck what anybody else thinking! I tried to let Anthony handle it and get our girl back, but he was fucking up on his job, so I gotta step in and resolve the issue.

Running into her room, I saw her straddling him under her covers as he was getting ready to take off her bra. Seeing red, I ran up and pushed Jackie off of him before yanking him out of the bed and onto the floor. “So you really thought you was finna give my pussy away?! To this nigga, no less!” I roared at her as I sent blow for blow for his face and torso. He was putting up a good fight, but I was getting the best of him. “Pussy ass nigga! That’s mine right there! Mine!!!” “Anthony stop! Get off of him!!!!” She screamed running over to try and break it up. Still sending hard hits, I got carried away and accidentally punched Jackie in the eye as she got in between us.

Landing on the floor, she whimpered as my heart stopped and I ran over to her. “Jackie. Baby, I’m so sorry! Shit, I’m such a fuck up! I’m stupid!!! Please forgive me, baby.” I cried trying to hold her when she punched me, knocking me back. “Get the fuck out of my house! I don’t ever wanna see you again!!! EVER!!!!” “No. No no no no, you don’t mean that. Tell me you don’t mean it!” I hollered as she got up to check on him. Holding his beaten up body in her arms, I could do nothing but get up and walk out of the house as I lost all hope in getting the one person I loved. Fuck, I lost her... for good this time.
