Falling in love with a friend is a gamble. Sometimes it can lead to the best relationship of your life and sometimes it can destroy everything. Esme finds this out first hand when two of her best friends begin to fight over her affection. What she d...
I was making my way back from catering when I spotted Seth coming out of Roman's locker room. I knew that Esme was in there by herself so i made my way over to him, grabbing him by the neck of his t-shirt "What the hell is wrong with you huh! Why can't you just leave her alone?"
He struggled to get out of my grip "Get the hell off me!!"
"She's happy Seth why can't you just leave her alone?"
He didn't answer me and just walked off
* * * Roman
I was making my way back to my locker room after my match when I spotted Seth leant up against the wall in one of the corridors. He was looking at his phone and he had a smug smile on his face.
"Hey Roman"
I'd hoped he hadn't seen me and I cursed under my breath.
"You may think that you've got the upper hand now but it won't be long before Esme's back at my side''
I stopped walking and made my way towards him "You wanna repeat that?"
He laughed "She doesn't love you Roman. She's only with you to try and make me jealous and when she's finished messing around with you she will come running straight back to me"
I didn't get the chance to reply as he walked off without a care in the world.

Esme sighed. She really thought that she had got somewhere with Seth earlier but obviously not. The door opened and Roman came in, Esme stood up and made her way over to him "Great match babe"
"Thanks" he mumbled without looking at her
"Are you alright?" Esme asked
"I'm fine baby girl" Roman replied "I'm just a little tired"
Roman showered, got changed and he and Esme left for the hotel. Esme could tell that something was bothering him, she knew him better than most people did and once they had finally settled in for the night. Roman broke his silence "Can I ask you something?"
"Of course" She replied, turning around to face him "What's up?"
"Do you still love Seth?"
Esme was stunned. That was the last thing she'd expected Roman to say ''I never loved him Roman. I cared about him but it was never love"
Roman nodded "So you would never get back with him then?"
"No" Esme answered truthfully "Where's this come from all of a sudden?"
"It was just something he said to me earlier..."
"What did he say?" Esme asked
"He said you were just using me and that you'd go back to him eventually" Roman relayed
"I don't know why he told you that because we had a chat earlier and I made it clear to him how i felt" Esme explained "I actually thought I was getting somewhere with him...he admitted that his heart wasn't in it and he even let his walls down long enough to me to see there's more to his behavior than meets the eye"
"What do you mean?" Roman asked
"I asked him what it was he wanted and he said he just wanted to be good enough. He left before I could ask him what he meant" Esme explained
Roman sighed as he pulled Esme into a kiss "I'm sorry I doubted you. Seth just has a way of getting to me. He knows just how to control my emotions"
Esme wrapped her arms around Roman's broad chest "Has Seth ever told you why he's got a problem with you?"
"Not really" Roman replied "We were tight for a while, then he just changed"
"I think there's a reason behind his actions" Esme voiced "I just don't know what it is"
Roman hummed in agreement "Seth and I need to have a talk because we can't go on like this"
