i read chelsea’s text ; and my stomach twists. the last thing i want is for her to feel that way. she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me , both inside the ring and out. people see the wwe superstar in her , but i see so much more : a person who makes me feel grounded , inspired , and so damn lucky to be hers.
still , my day’s been insane. morning practice ran longer than expected , then i dove into hours of studying new film for upcoming games. after that , i hit the weights so hard i nearly left my phone in the locker room. by the time i found her text , i realized i’d gone too long without checking in.
i quickly tap out a response , determined to show her she’s always my first priority :
" hey babe , i’m sorry for the radio silence. practice , film , and a crazy weight session had me all over the place. i promise i’m not ignoring you — you know you mean the world to me. how about i make it up to you when you come into town this weekend ? dinner at your favorite spot , my treat , then some us time ? just tell me when you’re free. miss you like crazy , and i can’t wait to see you. love you @havocpersonified.
