Just a heads up: this is a romance, not my style obviously. I just felt that Roman needed some loving, too. This is in no way related to any of my other stories. Enjoy.


His grey eyes looked at her; the pretty auburn haired woman in front of him. Well not really, she was sitting ten feet from him as he and the rest of The Shield were preparing for their backstage rampage on another superstar. So pretty, and so quiet, the man known as Roman Reigns was mesmerized by her. Lucy wasn't it? Yet she was different when she was acting, he'd seen the skits between her and the other divas and she was good. But when she was by herself, like she was now, it was hard to even notice her. And this appealed to Joe Anoa'i a lot.

Joe didn't know how to approach the pretty woman, not that he's had any problems before but now it seemed different. Joe tried to think of something to say to her but he couldn't when Jon Good, or Dean Ambrose from the show, snapped him out of his reverie.

"Got your eyes on someone, big man?" Jon asked as he was taping his wrists.

"No," came the Samoan's simple answer looking away from the woman.

Colby Lopez laughed at the floor where he was doing a set of push ups. "He hasn't had any in a while. He'd go for anyone at the moment."

"Watch it, Seth, I can stomp you into the ground, man." Joe looked down at the youngest member in The Shield.

Pushing himself up, Colby dusted his hands on his pants and looked at Roman. "Well, just admit it. You have been moody lately."

"Moody, now you sound like a woman." Jon smirked.

"Sorry, my girl leaves around those damned women's magazine. It's the only thing I have to read waiting for her to get ready for a damn date."

Joe looked back over towards where he had seen the pretty woman. Unfortunately she wasn't there to occupy his attention. He saw her walking away with Brad Maddox. This annoyed him, and he didn't know why. Brad Maddox, why him?

"Okay man, spill." Jon brought his attention back to his brothers in arms. "What's gotten your head spinning."

"Or who?" Seth added.

"Look, it's no big deal." He waved them off. "Come on, we have chaos to bring to the show."


She had seen him, she had seen him watching her. Lucy Cena was not one to actively approach anyone and Roman Reigns really did scare her. She was scared of the three men known as The Shield so she opted to stay away from them.

"Hey, Lucy." She glanced up from her paperback book she had been reading. "We need to see Vickie about our skits tonight."

"All right." She put her book in her small satchel purse that she had with her. "Let's go."

Lucy glanced at Roman, Dean and Seth briefly before Brad caught her attention. He had been awfully nice to her, since about day one when John asked Stephanie McMahon to help her out. Being the on-screen PA for Vickie Guerrero was a thrilling experience, even for a person who had never acted a day in her life. Men still made her edgy though, even Brad.

"So, I was wondering..." Brad started to say, keeping his head forward but looking at the woman at the corner of his eye. "Maybe we can do something after the show."

"Um, I'm sorry. I don't think I can." She worried her lip a little, trying not to mess with the gloss she had applied. "I have an early flight tomorrow."

"Heading for the next Raw, huh?"

"No, I'm going home."

"Why?"

"It's not really something I want to discuss, Brad. Really it isn't. It's a personal matter."

She'd hoped he would just drop it, but it looked like he didn't want to drop it. Brad nudged her slightly with his elbow, smirking at her.

"Come on, we're all friends here. You can trust me."

Luckily the subject was dropped, when she saw her brother and Vickie waiting to start the skit.

"Hey, Luce, how is it going?" John asked, giving her a slight hug.

"It's okay." She smiled. "Hi, Ms. Vickie."

The older woman acknowledged her, but that was the best she had ever given Lucy. John, though, took on the role of protective older brother eyeing up Maddox intently.

"My flight is set up, I leave at ten so I need to be there by eight. You know how security is these days. Dan said he would pick me up."

"Great."

It was tense, really tense. She just didn't know how to keep up with a conversation, but John was easily able keep talk going, as was his personality.

The skit, it was supposed to be between Vickie Guerrero, Brad Maddox, Lucy and John Cena. Lucy the PA, the peacemaker, the pretty one. Lucy often wondered why the fans loved her and everyone else just seemed to be annoyed with her, well not everyone.

"Ms. Vickie," Lucy said walking into the scene.

"What!" Vickie all but yelled at the woman, who didn't as so much flinch at the outburst. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm talking here?"

"Mr. Cena is here to talk to you. I told him you were already busy, ma'am, but..." John came into the scene standing behind her. "Well, he's insistant."

"What? What is it, John?"

Lucy stood there, appearing to be doing something with her tablet that she was seen with all the time. While John spoke, her mind briefly flashed back to the man she had seen watching her earlier. It wasn't creepy to her, no it wasn't. But then again she wouldn't be in this mess if she had listened to her head and not her heart before...

"Thanks for nothing." John glanced at Lucy before stepping out of the scene.

"AHHH! This is so aggrivating."

"Ms. Vickie..." Lucy said.

"What? Can you do anything besides..."

"I scheduled a spa appointment for tomorrow.

The Cougar swished her hand in the PA's direction. "Good for you."

"Actually it's for you."

"Really?" Brad and Vickie chorused. "I could really go for a spa date." Brad added quickly, thinking about it.

Lucy shook her head. "No, it's just for Ms. Vickie. I thought she could use the relaxation that she needs. Anyway, I have to call your hotel, ma'am. They messed up your reservations, I'm going to go see what's going on and fix it. I'll call you for more information about the spa."

Skit over, at least she wasn't on for anymore during the rest of the night. Lucy actually enjoyed this promo, but she was more enjoyed that she would be able to go back to the hotel and get ready to leave for the airport the next morning.
