Roman looked over Dean's shoulder to see Gemma and Seth already lost in conversation. He had just kissed her goodbye and was on his way to the ring to close Summerslam against Brock.
"Don't worry," Dean squeezed his shoulder. "She's safe with us."
"I don't like her being in the same building as him," Roman said.
"It's not your choice. Go back just a few months. She wouldn't have dared. It's because of you that she's no longer afraid of him," Dean said.
"Yeah," Roman grinned. "She'll kick him in the balls if he tries anything."
"She's a true gem," Dean winked. "And besides, he doesn't even know she's here, right?"
"No, and I tend to keep it that way," Roman said.
He was finally taking the Universal title off Brock. A long time coming to most people. And better yet, it was gonna be a fast match. Brock had been the one insisting on a fast match, not wanting to spend more than a few minutes in the ring with Roman. He was still pissed off that Roman had managed to steal Gemma away from him.
"Here is your winner and the new Universal champion: Roman Reigns!" JoJo's voice sounded through the arena.
Roman made it back to the gorilla with a smile on his face. The smile quickly fell as he watched Brock all up in Gemma's face. If it hadn't been for Dean and Seth standing there to protect her, he was sure Brock would have tried dragging her along with him.
"You don't fucking get it, Gemma! I'm your brother! He's just a man who gets to fuck you! He'll grow tired of you soon enough and throw you out!" Brock yelled.
"At least he'll dump me nicely like a human being and I get to keep my dignity! You treated me like a slave!" She yelled back.
"Dignity? What dignity?" Brock laughed in her face. "You're nothing but his fuck toy!"
"Hey!" Roman pulled Brock away with force. "You don't get to talk to her like that!"
Brock smirked as he eyed Roman up and down.
"Keep the bitch!" He finally spat and walked away.
Roman placed his arm around her and pulled her close.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah," she smiled reassuringly. "Congratulations champ. You look good in red."
"Thank you, pretty girl," he smiled back and turned his focus to Seth and Dean. "You were supposed to keep her backstage so he wouldn't see her."
"Do you have any idea how fast she can run?" Dean chuckled. "She took off the second you were both inside the ring."
"Someone's getting punished later," Roman singsonged in her ear.
"Can't wait," she smirked.
They walked back to the room where they had been before the match. She was gonna wait in there with Seth and Dean while Roman got some pictures taken and then showered and changed.
"Don't let her run this time," he chuckled.
"I won't," she said. "You know why I did it, right? I had to see him. I had to show him he's got no power over me anymore."
"I know, pretty girl," he pulled her in and pecked her lips. "I'm not mad. I'm proud of you for doing that. I love you so much and he can spit all the venom he wants. I'm never leaving you."
"I love you, Roman. You can't get rid off me even if you try," she said.
"Later I'm gonna make you feel so good," he whispered in her ear. "I'll try and hurry so we can get our own private celebration started."
