Was it pathetic though? Joe thought to himself while looking down at Mercedes who obviously was a little thrown off with the conversation at hand. He couldn’t help but to smile a little though, it was still kind of cute how she was calling herself pathetic for admitting how she felt about hanging out with the Samoan brute outside of the arena and away from all the attention that they got. Joe couldn’t help his self, he reached out to take a hold of her hands to kind of comfort her in the situation. ❝ Ain’t nothin’ pathetic ‘bout that, Cedes. Cause shit I’m feelin’ the same way. ❞
Maybe it wasn’t actually that pathetic. Maybe stepping away from everyone and having some along time was actually a good thing. Try telling her that it didn’t seem so pathetic though. She felt silly for wanting to distract him from work... and because she needed a distraction because of this injury. God knows how much that has been bothering her as of this past week. She sighed and then smiled up at Joe once she felt him take her hands. “Are you really?’ she wondered with a slight tilt of the head. Her hands even tightened their grip slightly around his to show that she was happy to hold his larger hands. “...or are you sayin’ that to make me feel better? ‘cause I know that you didn’t have to come with me or anything.”
