“Should The Rock sit in a booth?”

“Should The Rock sit at the bar? The Rock loves the bar.”

“Or should The Rock sit at The Head of the Table?”

Joe rarely discussed his WWE storyline with Kerri because he knew that she didn’t care. Tonight, she just happened to be passing by when Dwayne made that bold proclamation. “What the fuck does he mean by that?” She asked, the annoyance heavy in her voice. “I don’t know. I didn’t even know that he was going to be in the show.” Joe grumbled. He knew. It was exactly how he and DJ planned it. “You need to figure out if he’s trying to take your place as the head of the family! It’s the Anoa’i Family Tree…not The Johnson Family Tree.” She groaned. “The elders anointed me as Tribal Chief. Dwayne’s the High Chief. He outranks me.” Joe sighed. He didn’t even know why he tried to explain the family dynamic to her anymore.

“Good shit, good shit.” Charli smiled as she stood in the gorilla with Triple H. “Let’s goooo!!!” The twins laughed as they watched. The room erupted into applause as Dwayne walked back through the curtains. “How’d I do?” Dwayne asked. “Brilliant, brother. Guess it doesn’t really matter what I say. What’s The Big Guy say?” Triple H as they both looked at Charli. “What? We haven’t spoken since Christmas!” She grumbled. She hadn’t seen Joe since they all had dinner in Riyadh after Crown Jewel. Joe thought about that night in Charlotte at least once a day. Charli got him in a way that Kerri never could after all these years. He wanted a friendship with Charli but knew that it would only cause problems in his relationship. “That went great. Tell C I said thanks.” Joe texted Dwayne. “I feel like I’m out of the loop. What’s up with you and Joe?” Dwayne asked as they walked towards his dressing room. “What do you mean? I helped him with this thing and he asked me to be present during his absence to make sure y’all ain’t fuck it up.” She laughed. “I mean…yeah. But why couldn’t he just text you instead?” Dwayne asked as he showed her his text. “You know his girl would crash out if she thinks her place in his life is being threatened by another woman. He’s talked about it. The twins have talked about it. Ol insecure ass girl. If I wanted her man…well…he wouldn’t be her man anymore.” Charli laughed.

Jon kept spamming the group chat with pics of him, Josh, Sefa and Dwayne out for Mexican with Charli. It was mostly for Jamie who was at home with the little ones but Joe was the one with the severe FOMO. He needed another fun night with her.

“Charli, come dance with me.” Josh smiled as he grabbed Charlie’s hand. “Why can’t I drink my margarita in peace?!” She grumbled as she took one last sip and followed him to the dance floor. Jon made sure to drop a video of Josh dancing with Charli in the group chat. “Is that Josh’s new flavor of the month? She’s got a great shape. I wonder who did it.” Kerri said as she watched over Joe’s shoulder. “I think it’s just some girl they met at the restaurant.” Joe grumbled, his jaw clenching in annoyance. “They have good chemistry. Bet the sex would be fire.” Kerri laughed as she walked away. Joe grumbled and tossed his phone on the couch beside him. “Speaking of sex being fire…the kids are asleep and we’re still celebrating our anniversary.” Kerri kissed against Joe’s ear. “Again?” Joe sighed. “Yes! Again. It’s been so long, especially with the surgery recovery and your schedule. I miss you baby.” Kerri whined.

“You know he still talks about Charlotte? The aura on you is insane. You always have had this certain…it factor, though. Your re-emergence has actually been perfect timing.” Josh smiled as he spun Charli around before pulling her back to his chest. “What on earth are you talking about? I know you don’t think that you’re going to use me to wreck his relationship. I’m not here for him.” She sighed. “We were 18 and you were able to inspire him in ways that he’s been missing for a while now. He sees you living your best life with no stress and maybe he’ll be inspired to do the same. It does mean wrecking that relationship but he literally avoids it. He’s afraid that she’ll take his kids away. Jon’s wife…have you met Jon’s wife? You’d like her…ol fine ass.” Josh rambled as they swayed to Santana’s ‘Oye Como Va”. “I haven’t met her but Joe has also said that I’d like her. Well, what did she say?” Charli laughed as Josh dipped her. “She thinks that she’s going to leave him with the kids. When Jamie gets a feeling…she’s usually not wrong.“ he sighed. “So take her to court for full custody if she pulls that shit. Ain’t like he couldn’t afford it. How could anyone want to just up and leave those babies is beyond me but what do I know? I don’t have any trap-a-man babies.” Charli laughed as they walked back towards the table.

Josh got back to the table to see the group chat on fire thanks to Jon’s video of him dancing with Charli. He immediately noticed Joe’s absence from commenting.

Jon: I think Twin has found his next victim

Jamie: He better leave that woman alone. If anyone’s fuckin up a pH balance…it’s definitely Josh Ho Ass!

Sefa: I’m a happily married man. I’m a happily married man.

Josh: Y’all know I can see this right? I’m not trying to die. Just wanted to dance with a pretty girl is all.

“I will not crash out. I will not crash out. I will not crash out.” Joe repeated to himself mentally as he laid in bed next to a sleeping Kerri. Dicking her down so she’d leave him alone was becoming more and more difficult. The last thing Joe saw before he fell to sleep was a reel for Charli’s Close Friends on IG of her on the elevator with very faded Bloodline. The caption read ‘We Missing One’.

“You heading back out East?” Jon asked as they walked Charli to her room. “Not yet. I’m heading up to LA in the morning. I ain’t seen my uncle in a while so I better tap in before he sends my goon ass cousins to come snatch me up.” Charli laughed. “I ain’t never been to Compton.” Josh slurred. “Oh…ok. You should check it out sometime. It’s different than the Compton I grew up in.” She laughed, she knew exactly what he was trying to hint at. “Lemme roll witchu, baby. I’ll keep you safe.” He smiled, his tongue flicking out at her. “Boy…stop trying to hit on me! Only if Jon & Sefa come. You need adult supervision and I ain’t nobody’s mama.” Charli sighed as she unlocked her room. “Let me come in and change that. Make some pretty ass kids.” Josh winked. “I’m going to get him to bed. I think our cousin Jacob is up there wrestling. We might pull up on him.” Jon smiled. “Yeah, he up there. They’re doing some showcase on Sunday. My little cousin wrestles in MLW with his homie. He talks about Jacob all the time.” Charli shrugged. “Well, we’ll text you in the morning.” Jon nodded as he propped Josh against the wall. “Run it past Jamie. Can’t have you getting in trouble and let me know.” Charli smiled as she said goodnight and closed the door.

Joe woke up the next morning and watched Charli’s reels again. “Am I the missing one?” He asked. “Of course! You missed a fun time. And you’re missing more fun today. They’re heading up to my uncle’s house with me. Stay tuned for pictures.” She messaged back. Joe’s FOMO was cleared out by his little ones barging into the bedroom. “Daddy, can we watch The Lion King?” Naveen asked as he helped his little sister up into the bed. “You want to watch Lion King too?” Joe asked Mina. “Hi Daddy!” She smiled as she wiggled her way under the covers next to him. “Alright y’all. New Lion King or Classic Lion King?” Joe asked as he heard Kerri’s G Wagon leaving the garage.

Royal Rumble 2024, St. Petersburg, FL

Joe paced back and forth as the other guys in this fatal four way made their entrances to the ring. “Hey Big Guy, you got a quick second?” Charli asked as he did push ups to center himself. “For you? Always.” He smiled as he hopped up, towering over her immediately. Roman Reigns was disarmingly sexy at this moment. “Wow. Am I paying those water droplets? They’re doing a spectacular job. Are you going to be in Vegas after the presser?” Charli teased as she pointed to the water dripping from his jet black hair, down his pecs to outline the outer edge of his chiseled abs. “My eyes are up here, sweetheart. Yes, I’ll be front & center in Vegas.” He growled. “I know that! God, you’re so infuriating. Listen, I have someone who wants to meet you. It’ll be quick.” She smiled. “Uh oh. Don’t tell me that I have a kid in college.” He laughed nervously. “What the fuck, Joe?! No. My dad wants to meet Roman Reigns. He lives in Vegas and I thought it would be a good time. Nevermind. Hey, have a good match. Have fun out there. And for the love of God be safe!” Charli rolled her eyes as she turned to walk away. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him. “Of course, I’d love to meet your dad again. Just…call me.” He growled softly.

He turned to see Paul Heyman standing with his Ula Fala one hand, his belt in the other. “You ready kid?” He smiled. “Yeah, let’s do this. Enjoy the show.” Joe smiled down at Charli before he slowly backed away. His eyes never left hers until he vanished through the curtains. That brief encounter was all he needed to sink back into that mindset of wanting to impress her. The gorilla erupted into applause as Joe & Paul walked back through the curtain. A big smile tugged on Joe’s lips as he looked at Charli taking off her headset. “Good job, Champ.” She smiled. “Thanks, Boss.” He smiled. “Can I hold it?” Charli smiled. “Typically, they have a floral smell but this one is kinda old.” He smiled. “I wasn’t talking about the Ula Fala!” She laughed. “Ohh. Yeah, sure.” Joe blushed as he fastened the belt around her waist. “It’s so heavy!” She laughed. “It looks good on you. Gold is absolutely your color. Want to wear this too?” He held out the Ula. “I’m not Samoan or married to a Samoan. It’s not my place.” Charli said. “Thank you. I gotta take that belt back.” He smiled. Before Charli could reach around to unfasten it from her waist, his hands were already working on it. “Go get changed, you still got work to do upstairs. I’ll see you in Vegas.”

“Yeah, in Vegas. Goodnight.” Joe blushed as he walked away, not realizing that he had an audience. The goofy smile on his face hadn’t dissipated before Kerri caught up to him. “Hey babe.” She called out to him. He wished that it was Charlina calling out to him but he knew it wasn’t. “Hey. I gotta go up to the suite and shoot a scene. Go back to the bus. Then we can go home.” He smiled. “Funny. You never let me wear the belt and I suck your dick.” She scoffed, walking away before she could cause a scene.
