Salut! Just wanted to say thank you to all those who have read the story so far. Also a big thank you to my reviewers, just having 2 has meant the world to me and encourages me to continue =)

Please enjoy, this is a longer chapter and I think its better than the last, yay at improvement. Also reviews make me smile like a loon and I appreciate them immensely.

"No I don't, tell me; because as far as I know everything was going great between us. Then all of a sudden you're ignoring my calls and texts. Avoiding me every time we're breathing the same damn air, all without telling me a god damn thing!"

His voice rose on the last point. Naomi flinched as he stepped away from her. Despite his in ring persona, Roman was a giant teddy bear. He was usually a hell of a lot quieter compared to his cousins although sometimes when they were around each other long enough it was like he was the third Uso. So to have him raising his voice at her when he was usually so gentle, upset her and put her in defensive mode.

"Hey I have every right to have some time to myself alright?! You do not own me therefore I do not owe you an explanation ok? So don't you dare raise your voice at me!"

There it was, the other part to her personality. Naomi hated being yelled at and she was quick to stand up for herself, its what got her to where she was now and she wasn't going to stop now.

He raised his eyebrows looking at her incredulously. "You don't owe me an explanation? Are you kidding me? You sure as hell owe me an explanation when one minute you're lying naked in my bed telling me you want to be with me and then the next, you act as if you don't even know my name. So yes Naomi you do owe me a fucking explanation!"

Normally when he swore she found it hot and sexy but it was never directed at her…well depending on what position he had her in. This time she knew he was serious. She looked down loosening her shoulders, she didn't want to fight with him but she couldn't tell him what had her avoiding him like the bubonic plague all of a sudden (yes she was slightly dramatic at times and also bubonic was such fun word…except for the whole killing people part thing).

"God this is bullshit Trin," he sounded tired, like he was giving up. He'd even called her Trin letting her know how serious he was.

"I'm out of here." No, no she couldn't let him do that! "Joe wait!"

She rushed and grabbed his huge hand in both of hers as he turned to leave, pulling him back slightly forcing him to look at her and looked into his eyes. They had had an unspoken agreement when they first started all of this that they called each other by their ring names. At the time it kept this false invisible wall up between their life on the road and their life at home. Yet the longer it went on, the deeper they fell before it was too late.

"God Trinity you're so beautiful." He said as he moved inside her. He was looking down at her, his blue-grey eyes darkened with lust and passion. Her breath hitched as he gazed at her. His eyes were intense, no matter what he was feeling his eyes were so captivating but now it felt like he could see all of her and it was too much. She turned her head trying to catch her breath. It was kind of hard though considering she was currently lying on her back with a 265-pound man on top of her. Even though Roman was holding most of his weight up using the headboard, his general size and presence dazed her.

"Look at me Trin," he commanded gently as he brought one hand down to cup her face. He had slowed down his pace dramatically but he was still rocking against her; she felt so full, so complete and it freaked her out. This wasn't meant to be happening, it was meant to be just a good time once in a while. Not this. "Trin." There was a hint of desperation in his voice so she turned back to face him. He was looking at her in awe, like she was a work of art and no one had ever looked at her like that…

"I love you."

With that he brought her into a searing kiss that almost completely stole her breath away, before she had a chance to respond, slightly lifting her head off the bed, he was intoxicating. He broke the kiss and moved to place kisses on her neck; even in the middle of such an intense moment he knew not to leave any marks. His pace quickened again before he was pounding into her body. Hearing Naomi's gasps and moans spurred him on before he was being relentless with his movements as he grasped on to her and using his strength he pulled her up and moved to a kneeling position and continued to thrust up in to her. Her head was tilted back, eyes closed and sweat gathering on her body. She looked glorious; Roman couldn't keep his eyes off of her. She was moving with him, his large hands just below her small waist, guiding her up and down. She would even throw in some grinding movements every time he brought her down and he would groan. He could barely hold himself up any longer so decided to lie back and with as much energy as he could, continued his thrusts. She was close, very close, they had been going at this for more than an hour. Man did he have stamina. She was clenching him now, desperate for a release when she felt him bring his fingers down to her clit and she was gone. Naomi threw her head back and screamed, "Oh god JOE!"

He damn near froze at that but she was clenching him too tightly and he felt his release spiral through him. He groaned deeply and held her still on his cock as he came inside her. She fell on top of him breathing deeply. Roman began to stroke her hair, kissing the top of it gently. She hadn't said 'I love you' back but she had said his name and that was close enough for him…for now.

"He keeps talking about setting our wedding date and I just couldn't handle it anymore. I couldn't tell him that I was stalling not just because of work but because of you."

She looked down at their hands as she slowly begun to break down.

"I can't tell him its because I'm falling for his cousin."

A tear slid down as Roman stared above her head. He heard light sniffling and slowly embraced her in warm protective hug. She rested her head on his chest as he gently stroked her hair, placing a kiss on top. They stood like that for a while as Roman thought about what to do. He couldn't think of any solution right now save for telling his cousin the truth, but was he ready to do that to him? He wasn't so selfish that he didn't realise what the truth would do to Jimmy. He did know that this could not go on for long, not with what it was doing to Naomi and to him. More than anything he wanted to take care of her, protect her from the world, but he loved her too damn much to just let her go. Not now…maybe not ever.

Seth Rollins was walking down the halls of the arena looking for Roman or 'big man' as he so often called him. The stupid fuck had run away from him as soon as they arrived for the RAW taping and for a man his size he was really good at hiding.

"He must be learning my ninja ways"

Seth mused to himself and then laughed, no one was a ninja like him. He walked past several backstage employees and a few wrestlers he gave a quick nod to. He looked everywhere but could not see the big-headed Samoan.

What?

He said it out of affection! He would say it to his face…as long as he had a ten second head start and he was on the other side of the room. People didn't realise it but Roman was ridiculously fast when he wanted to be, even faster than him. He guessed it was all that football he did back in the day. He continued to walk but couldn't find his boy anywhere, he was about to give up and go to catering until he saw Naomi turn the corner in a rush. She was walking towards him in a hurry and she had yet to see him. She looked upset. He wondered whether he should stop her to see what was wrong but did he have the right to?

He and Naomi had been close back in their FCW days, he had been naturally drawn to her, they had similar personalities in that they were both excitable and had tons of energy; but they drifted apart when she started dating Jimmy then made it to the main roster before him.

Before he had time to make his decision she bumped into him hard. He grabbed on to her before she fell down

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry!" she looked up to see who she had bumped into.

"Hey Colby I didn't see you there." Colby?

"Yeah you wouldn't with your eyes plastered to the floor like that." He chuckled slightly until he got a good look at her; she was beautiful, she always had been but she looked even better now than when they first met and at that time he was sure he'd seen a damn goddess, but now… he looked into her eyes and saw that they looked slightly puffy and red-rimmed, he frowned.

"Are you ok?" She stared back at him with a confused expression.

"Dude you just bump-"

"I mean your eyes. Have you been crying?"

"What? No! Its just allergies."

"That's weird, I don't remember you having allergies."

"Yeah well people change!" She snapped at him, he was taken aback.

Naomi hardly ever snapped at anyone. Seth took a step back slightly shocked at her reaction.

"Woah sorry I asked."

They hadn't really spoken that much but he didn't realise it had gotten this bad. She let go of her tense stance and breathed in gently.

"I'm sorry I have to go." She side stepped him and continued on her way.

He turned around watching her leave, "Have you seen Roman Reigns by any chance?"

Naomi stopped and gave him a look, why was he asking her? That seemed all too random.

"Its just that I looked everywhere for his fat ass and I couldn't find him."

She giggled despite herself and gave him a cute frown.

"His ass ain't that fat."

"Yeah it is!"

"Its nothing compared to Titus O'Neil's, now that guy has a fat ass! He even puts me to shame. You know part of me is jealous but another part of me is seriously in awe"

Seth laughed, "Ok compared to Titus, Roman has a pancake booty. Wait! Why are we talking about guys' butts again?!"

"Hey you brought it up! If I remember correctly, butts were your favourite topic of discussion."

"Uh no. If I remember correctly only a certain someone's butt."

They both stopped at that. Shit. Her easy smile had disappeared at that.

"He's probably in catering, you know how them Samoan boys like their food. Its like they never stop growing."

With that she continued on her way. Seth watched her retreating back and started smacking his head.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"Hey that's my thing!" He looked up to see Ryback swaggering past him. Seth wouldn't say he disliked Ryback, he was an okay guy for the most part but he had to admit, he enjoyed triple power-bombing the meat head. Seth snickered to himself and headed off to catering.

"If you eat that I'm just going to make you workout harder."

"Jesus Christ! The fuck man? You damn near made me drop my plate. How do you always do that sneaking around shit, its not normal bruh."

Seth cackled. "I'll never tell amigo, I'll never tell. A true ninja never reveals his se… are you seriously still adding more food?!" Seth stared at Roman's plate perplexed.

"Yes I am because I'm a big boy and you are not my mom."

"…are you pregnant?"

Roman turned to Seth and gave him a blank stare.

"If my hands weren't full, I'd slap you upside your head right now." With that he walked over to the tables shaking his head. Sometimes he wondered whether that bump Seth took at TLC hadn't been way more damaging than they realised, that coupled with all the head banging he did, he was sure the boy had some serious brain damage.

They sat down at a table where Dean was currently being bored to death by Natalya recounting a story about her damn cat, Mizzy? Bizzy?

"…and so we finally realised that the whole time Gizmo" Ah Gizmo! "…was actually scared of the sound of my new pair of shoes and not me! It turns out I had nothing to worry about."

"That's cool Nat." Dean mumbled in response. He looked up as his teammates approached and gave them a pleading look.

"Hey Nat, how's it going?"

"Nothing much Mr Rollins, how about you?"

"I'm doing great, just need to give a run down of tonight's match with these two knuckleheads."

"Great, well let me leave you guys to it then. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with tonight. See ya!"

With that she left with a flourish.

"Man I didn't know how long I could carry on listening to her talking about that damn bush rat before I stabbed a fork into my ears." Roman and Seth laughed.

"Come on she's sweet really, if not a bit misguided; everyone knows dogs are the more superior animals."

The boys liked Natalya, she was an awesome wrestler who worked hard and respected the business, as if you could expect anything less from a Hart. It was just that she could be really boring sometimes, but she meant well. Probably spent a bit too long in The Dungeon.

Seth went through the plan for the night's match whilst Roman wolfed down his food. He was still going once Seth had finished. He knew Roman had a huge appetite, they all did, growing boys and all that, plus Roman was built like a fridge. Yet this time was different, Roman was working at a second plate (when did he get that?) at lightning speed and it wasn't normal. Seth and Dean just stared at 'big man' until he was done, he emptied his cup and put his fork down.

"You ok there big man?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"No reason."

Roman looked at Seth oddly. "Ooookay. Well I'll see you guys in a bit. Going to make some calls."

"Aite man, don't be late. I'll probably need your help finding this one later on."

"Hey, I have a name!"

Roman laughed. "Will do."

They watched as Roman walked away, dumping his plate and pulling out his cell.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Iunno, must be something big."

Seth turned towards his friend. "What makes you say that?"

"Whenever he's upset about something or really stressed he eats more than usual." Dean offered wisely.

"Wow I can't believe it."

"Yeah I know,it's a really unhealthy way to deal with your problems. I guess it kind of balances itself out considering the amount of time we spend in the gym."

"No not that, the fact that you could be so observant. It means you care." Seth smirked wickedly.

Dean scowled, "Fuck you dude!" Seth laughed at his little joke and turned back in the direction of Roman's departure. He was concerned; things had been going great for all of them. He didn't want to see his friend go through what he did last time.

"What do you think it could be?" Seth said as he turned around but he was met with empty space.

"Dammit Dean!"
