*Here is my Roman and Jenn story. I hope that you like it. The prequel to Life Unexpected*

"Planning on getting laid tonight?" asks my friend Jack as we walk through the party a friend of ours from the football team is throwing a couple days before we start classes at Georgia Tech to celebrate the end of summer.

"I don't know," I say, "I'm not sure. I hope to but if not that's cool too," I say with a smile. "I don't know many people just yet."

"That's the best time to get laid," he says with a smile. "There are a lot of hot chicks here tonight. I bet you got a lot of chicks in high school didn't you?"

"Maybe," I say with a smile thinking about my high school days. I was quite the player in high school. I never didn't have a date, I had all the girls throwing themselves at me. I was voted Most Attractive in high school my senior year. The girls couldn't stay away. "Yeah I did," I say with a smile.

"I'm not surprised by that," he says. "So do you see anyone you like?" he asks as we scan the girls around us as I take a swig of beer looking at a few potential ladies.

"Maybe a few," I say with a smile as a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes walks past me and does a double take. "Hey," I say with a smile as she waves to me. I shake my head as she keeps walking.

"What about that girl over there?" he asks pointing to a girl shoulder length black hair, tan skin, nice curves talking to a group of girls. "Do you like her?"

"I'm not sure," I say as I look at her. "She's not exactly my type," I say. "I don't think so."

"All right," he says as we look around the room a little more. "Over there," he says pointing to a group of three girls. "What about any of them?" he asks. "Especially that one right there with the blue eyes and dark hair, don't you think she's hot?" he asks.

"I know her," I say as I take a swig of beer.

"You know her?" he asks. "Is that a girlfriend or an ex or something like that?"

"Something like that," I say as I look at my best friend Rachel from high school. I didn't know she was into the party scene. This just isn't her but my attention is directed to one of the girls she is talking to. I can't see her face but from the back she doesn't look too bad. She has long curly dark brown hair that falls to the middle of her back, the perfect curves and beautiful olive colored skin.

"So you two aren't dating?" he asks.

"No we're not dating," I say not taking my eyes off the girl that Rachel is talking to. "But she is one of my best friends."

"Well, hook me up," he says, "If that's okay."

"You want me to hook you up with Rachel?" I ask.

"Rachel?" he asks.

"That's her name," I say.

"It's a pretty name and she's pretty hot," he says with a smile before taking a swig of his beer.

"You want me to introduce you to her?" I ask with an ulterior motive to see the girl she's talking to. I have never seen her before and I am curious to see what she looks like from the front.

"Yeah," he says. "Hook me up."

"All right," I say, "Come on," I say before taking a sip of beer before Jack and I make our way over to Rachel and her two friends. Jack and I appear next to the girl I was watching from behind facing Rachel. Rachel gets a big smile on her face. "Hey, Rach," I say with a smile as she wraps her arms around me. "I didn't know you were going to be here tonight," I say.

"My friends and I wanted to get out of our dorms for a little bit. I would like to say I'm surprised to see you here but I know you never miss a party."

"Never," I say with a smile, "besides the guy throwing the party is actually on the football team with me. He invited us. Are you having fun?" I ask.

"Yeah," she says with a smile as the girl she was talking to turns around to face me. She is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined her to be. Her curly hair frames her face, she has the longest eyelashes and the darkest brown eyes I have ever seen. Her mouth sculpted to perfection. She is breathtakingly beautiful. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as she is. "Roman," says Rachel trying to get my attention off of her friend.

"Hey," I say to her with a smile. "My name is Roman. What's your name?"

She clears her throat, her dark brown eyes locked on my blue-grey orbs and a hint of a smile on her lips. I can tell that she's nervous. "J-Jenn," she says.

"Don't be nervous," I say with a smile. "It's nice to meet you," I say with a smile as I hold my hand out for her to shake.

"Nice to meet you too," she says putting her soft hand into mine. She has the longest fingers I have ever seen in my life and her nails trimmed to perfection. She smells of lavender. She is beautiful. She's not wearing much make up but her natural beauty is much better than any amount of makeup she could be wearing. Her hand still rests in mine and I can feel the spark between us. I don't want to let go but finally Rachel pulls our hands apart. "Sorry," she says with a shy smile.

"It's okay," I say with a smile not wanting to look away. I could look at her all day. She's a masterpiece of perfection in my eyes. I have seen a lot of girls but this one is different. She makes me feel different. Jack clears his throat. "Sorry, Rachel, this is my friend, Jack, Jack this is Rachel," I say.

"Nice to meet you," says Jack.

"Nice to meet you," says Rachel with a smile as they shake hands.

"Well, if you'll excuse me," I say to Rachel and Jack, "I would like to go talk to Jenn for a little. I mean if that's all right with you," I ask her.

"Sure," she says with a smile of appreciation to Rachel.

"You two have fun," I say to Rachel as I walk off with Jenn so that I can talk to her and get to know her a little better. "So can I get you a drink or anything?"

"I'm good," she says holding up a red solo cup. "So you play football?"

"Yes," I say as we walk to the back door through a crowd of people. "I've been playing since I was a kid. I got a full scholarship here."

"That's cool," she says with a smile. She has a beautiful smile but her eyes I can't get over how beautiful they are. "I'm here on scholarship also," she says.

"Really?" I ask. "What sport do you play?"

"I don't play any sports," she says as we make our way to the back porch. We find a table to sit down at to talk.

"Academic scholarship then?" I ask crossing my ankle over my knee.

"Music scholarship," she says. "I am a musician."

"Oh wow," I say, "that's cool," I say with a smile. "So you play an instrument?"

"I play 5; the piano, violin, cello, clarinet and flute," she says with a smile. "I love music."

"Wow. That's impressive. I don't think I have a musical bone in my body. I'm impressed," I say.

"Thanks," she says with a smile.

"So what's your favorite instrument that you do play?"

"The piano is my favorite and the cello is my second favorite," she says. "I've been playing the piano since I was three years old and the cello since I was 5."

"Wow," I say. "Were you some musical prodigy?"

She laughs and says, "My parents believed that I was which is why they put me in piano lessons. They had this grand piano in their living room and when I was about 2 years old they said I climbed up on the bench and sat at the piano like a pro and started hitting the keys of course I wasn't reading notes or actually playing a song but they said my posture was so natural that they knew I was destined to be a musician and it all started when I was three."

"That's pretty cool," I say with a smile. "And you just picked up on it like that?"

"It did come naturally to me. At 5 I could play Beethoven. I love music."

"Well, Jenn, I think it's amazing that you're a musician and I am impressed by your talent."

"Thanks," she says with a smile. "So do you come to a lot of parties?"

"Yeah pretty much," I say. "In high school I never missed a party. What about you?" I ask.

"No. Parties aren't really my scene. Rachel just wanted to get out for a little. I wasn't sure I wanted to but I'm glad I did now."

"Me too," I say with a smile. "So I assume you're a music major here?"

"Yes," she says, "and what about you, Mr. Football Player? What's your major?"

"Business," I say.

"Business wow," she says, "so are you dreaming of being some big CEO one day? I mean after your football career."

I let out a small chuckle and say, "I want to go to the NFL and play football. That's my dream. That's what I really want to do. If that doesn't work out then I plan to own a business someday."

"That's cool," she says. "I just want to be a musician. I want to work with music. My main goal is to go to New York and play in Juilliard's orchestra. That is my biggest dream but I think my parents want it more than I do."

"Juilliard is pretty impressive. I'm sure you'll make it there," I say with a smile as she smiles back at me. Her dark brown eyes meet mine and her long eyelashes flutter at me. I wrap my arm around her and we sit back and look at the night time sky together. "So where are you from? Are you from Georgia or where?"

"Florida," she says.

"Me too," I say, "what part?"

"The 850, Pensacola," she says shocking me.

"So am I," I say. "Is that how you know Rachel?"

"Rachel lived down the street from me in P-Cola. She is one of my best friends," she says.

"But you didn't go to our high school," I say.

"I didn't go to public school," she says, "for elementary school my parents sent me to a private school for music and then in middle school and high school my parents had me homeschooled so I could focus on my school work half the day and direct my attention to my music."

"I see," I say. "I can't believe that you've been best friends with Rachel and I have never met you."

"I didn't get much time to hang out," she says. "How do you know Rachel?"

"She's my best friend," I say. "I met her in high school. She was going through some tough times. I was there for her and helped her out. We became good friends."

"So you're the Roman she was always talking about."

"That would be me," I say with a smile as Rachel appears next to us. "Hey, Rach, do you want to join us?"

"No," she says, "I'm ready to go."

"All right," says Jenn. "I'm coming."

"Do you have to go?" I ask.

"Yeah," she says standing up. "I drove," she says, "I have to take her back to the dorm."

"You can't come back?" I ask as I stand up with her.

"No," she says, "It's getting late. I should get back."

"All right," I say, "It was nice talking to you."

"It was nice talking to you too," she says with a smile. "Maybe we can talk again?"

"Yes," I say. "I would like that very much," I say with a smile. "You have a good night," I say with a smile.

"You too," she says before she walks away with Rachel.

"So you're not getting laid tonight either," says Jack.

"That girl is not the kind of girl you lay," I say. "She's too classy for that," I say and I am hooked on Jenn. "She's too beautiful for a one night stand." I don't know what it is about Jenn but I would like to know a lot more about her. I just don't know how Rachel is going to feel about that after everything we've gone through and been through.

JENN's POINT OF VIEW:

"So did you have fun at that party tonight?" I ask as I am laying on my bed flipping through a magazine.

"It was okay," says Rachel. "That Jack guy was trying to get laid."

"Pathetic," I say with a laugh. "Why are men like that? I hate that."

"Me too," she says, "so did you have fun at the party? You seemed to have fun with Roman."

"I had a good time," I say with a smile as I think about Roman. He's like a Greek God. He's sculpted to perfection and his eyes are beyond beautiful. "So you know Roman really well right?"

"Yes," she says. "We're friends," she says, "why?"

"I was just wondering. Did you two ever you know? Hook up or ever have anything going on?"

"At one time we did hook up occasionally but it wasn't really anything," she says.

"Do you have any feelings for him?"

"Of course not," she says, "Roman and I are just friends. We're best friends," she says, "nothing more than that. Why are you asking this?"

"Because I think I like him," I say with a smile. "He's sweet and he's hot. I wouldn't mind getting to know him a little better but I wanted to make sure that was okay with you first."

"I don't care," she says, "but just watch out for Roman Reigns," she says, "he's not really the relationship kind of guy. He's more of a player. I don't think he's ever had a girlfriend. He doesn't really do that kind of thing."

"So you're saying there's no hope?" I ask.

"I'm not saying there's no hope. I'm just saying Roman knows what he wants and he is very good looking. He gets any girl that he wants and he uses that to his full advantage. He likes sex, Jenn, lots of it. I don't think you're ready to get involved with someone like Roman."

"He didn't seem like that tonight."

"He has game," she says, "trust me I know. He charms his way into the bedroom. Have you ever even had a boyfriend?"

"No not really," I say. "I never really had time and my parents made me focus on my music and school work."

"I see," she says, "look I love you because you're my best friend and I love Roman cause he's my best friend. If you think this is going to work then you can try it out and see what happens but Roman is Roman. He's not the flowers and candy type of guy. He doesn't commit."

"Oh," I say feeling discouraged, "well, I guess then I just need to look somewhere else then."

"I'm not telling you to not try it out but I'm just telling you how Roman is. Just be careful with him."

"So you wouldn't be upset if something did happen between us?" I ask.

"Of course not," she says with a smile. "It's not like we are in a relationship or ever really had a relationship. We just had sex a few times. It's not a big deal."

"As long as you don't mind," I say.

"I don't mind but like I said, Roman is not the flowers, hearts and candy type of guy but who knows maybe you will be able to tame him. I don't know."

"Thanks, Rachel," I say. "I need to think about this but he is hot."

"I know," she says with a smile. "Believe me I know."

*A/N: So what did you think? Is this a keeper yes or no? And what do you think about Rachel? Is she just warning Jenn about Roman to be a good friend or is it something more? What do you think of Jenn and Roman hitting it off so well? Do you think Jenn could be the woman to tame Roman and if so do you think it's going to take a lot of work? Please review and thank-you for reading.
