Talia sighed as she rolled over and looked at the clock. The six year old still had plenty of time before she absolutely had to be up for school, but Talia had real trouble sleeping these days. Ever since her parents divorced, Talia just hadn't been feeling the same. Talia reached under her pillow and pulled out a picture of her family when they were all together. After the divorce, Talia's father removed all of the family pictures from the house and replaced them with pictures of just Talia and him. Talia secretly kept this photo under her pillow.
Talia ran her tiny finger across her mother's face in the picture. Talia hadn't seen her mother in months, but that was how it was since the divorce. She would show up, drop off some gifts, give Talia some kisses, and be out the door again. Talia didn't know what to do, she didn't understand why she wasn't enough for her parents. She didn't understand why they weren't happy with her…and why they didn't love her anymore.
Talia sniffed the air and groaned. She could smell her dad burning up another breakfast. Talia couldn't remember the last time she had decent food. She sighed as she rolled out of bed and started to get ready for her day at school.
"Shit!" Roman cursed as he smelled burnt food. Roman received a call from his secretary at work and got caught up in business and forgot all about the eggs on the stove and the toast in the toaster oven. Roman Reigns could do many things. He runs a successful Fortune 500 company and became one of the youngest billionaires in the country. He runs many successful charitable organizations, that are closer than ever to finding cures to diseases like cancer, HIV, and AIDS. Roman Reigns was a businessman. He could do all things related to business. Roman Reigns was not a cook and he would never be proficient in the culinary arts. That's why Roman had put up an ad online for a maid slash nanny. He really needed help taking care of the house and Talia.
Roman sighed as he grabbed the burnt toast and scrapped a bit of the burnt portions off the bread before putting it on the plate. He then scooped up some burnt eggs and put them on a plate before setting the plate on the table, along with a glass of milk. "Talia, breakfast is ready!" Roman yelled out before his cellphone rang again. Roman quickly answered his phone and began to talk to the person on the other end.
Talia came out of her room when she heard her father call her for breakfast. Talia had dressed herself in her school uniform, which consisted of a white and blue plaid pleated skirt and a white polo shirt with her school crest on the right side of the shirt, and had pulled her hair back in a ponytail. Talia had become very independent after the divorce because Roman couldn't do her hair and he was always busy working. She quickly learned how to dress herself and make sure she was always presentable for school.
Talia walked down the stairs and sat at the kitchen table. She looked down at the burnt food before looking over at her father, who was still talking on the phone. Talia took one bite of the crispy eggs and one bite of the burnt toast before pushing the plate back. She was done with her breakfast. "Daddy, I'm ready." Talia called out.
Roman quickly ended the conversation and went over to Talia. Roman looked down at the plate and noticed Talia hadn't really eaten anything. He couldn't be mad at her. The food wasn't in the best condition. Roman sighed and took the plate and threw the food away and placing the plate in the sink before going back over to Talia. "Alright baby girl, lets go." Roman said and took Talia's hand and led her to the door. Talia grabbed her backpack before being led into the garage. Roman opened the backseat door for her and strapped her in before closing the door. Roman opened the driver's door and got in, closing the door behind him and letting up the garage before driving away.
Thirty minutes later, Roman pulled up at Talia's school. Talia unbuckled her seat belt grabbed her backpack. "Bye, daddy." Talia said but Roman was on his phone and didn't hear her so he didn't respond. Talia sighed and slid out of the car and walked into the school building as Roman drove off to the company office.
Seth sighed as he collapsed on his living room couch. Seth had just finished moving everything into his new apartment and now he needed a break.
"Why do you have so much stuff?" Dean, Seth's best friend, asked as he collapsed on the chair next to the couch.
"It's not nearly as much as I had." Seth says as he grabs his laptop and Dean sighs.
"Let's not go there today." Dean says and Seth nods as he clicks on his internet browser and begins searching the web. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to find a job." Seth answers in a monotone voice and Dean groans.
"You just got here…you need to rest and relax." Dean says. "This is Tampa, you're in the sunshine state." Dean explains but Seth shakes his head.
"No, I need a job…otherwise I'll just sit around and dwell on things of the past." Seth says as he searches through the jobs. It takes a few minutes before Seth finds an ad looking for a maid and nanny. "Here's a good job…single man looking for someone to help take care of six year old daughter and help keep house clean." Seth reads.
"Wonder what happened to the wife." Dean comments and Seth shrugs. "Probably bad in the sack." Dean says and Seth chucks the TV remote at Dean and continues to read.
"Duties will include: cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, possibly taking my daughter to school and/or picking her up from school, babysitting my daughter when needed, playing with my daughter and seeing to her homework being done." Seth reads out. "He starts at twenty dollars an hour…that's really good. He says that pay will increase with job performance." Seth said and continued to read the ad. "If interested please come to the address below and bring your resume and reference list." Seth quickly took down the address and stood up. "I have to get ready."
"You're really going to do go down there today…after we spent the entire morning moving your shit?" Dean asked, a surprised look on his face.
Seth nodded and walked pass Dean. "Yes, now I have to get ready, so show yourself out." Seth said as he went into his bedroom.
"Bitch!" Dean yelled out.
"Jerk!" Seth replied and Dean laughed.
"Call me later and tell me how it goes." Dean said. "Hopefully he's attracted to you…then you might be getting a little extra pay on the side if you know what I mean." Dean yelled out and it was Seth's turn to laugh.
"Bye Dean!" Seth yelled and Dean turned and exited the apartment.
Seth stripped himself of his clothes and stood in front of the full length mirror in the corner of the room. Seth's fingers ghosted over the black and blue bruises that covered his torso and thighs. Seth frowned when he saw his ribs through his skin. He was definitely going to have to up his food intake if he was ever going to look the same again. Seth shook his head and smiled. He couldn't think about the past anymore. He had to think about his future. He was going to get this job and make a new life for himself.
"Now I can eat all the ice cream I want and not feel guilty." Seth said to himself before humming to himself as he entered the bathroom. Seth was turning the page and starting a new chapter in his life.
Little did Seth know, that this new chapter in his life would be the most exciting.
A/N: Please tell me what you think. Should I continue or not? I've really been wanting to write a Roman/Seth story since I finished the 20 different moments IX with them and this is what my brain came up with.
A/N2: If you need a visual for Talia, then watch Roman Reign's fathers day commercial he made with his real life daughter. That is what Talia looks like
Thanks 4 reading
