Roman walked over to the extra bedroom to put his stuff in there. He opened the door and noticed somebody elses bags in the bed. "Umm, whose bags are these?" he peaked his head out the room and yelled towards the kitchen where Adeline and Melanie were making dinner. His sister mentioned to him that Melanie would sleep over sometimes but he just wanted to make sure.
"Oh shit, sorry bro. I gave the room to Mel since she's staying with us this weekend too.''
Melanie bit her lip. She was pretty sure that Roman was probably going to tell her to get her stuff out of there. Or maybe get angry because she took the extra bedroom. Based on his built, he looked to have a bad temper.
"Oh that's cool. She can have it and I'll sleep on the couch." Roman said casually and smiled at both of them. He grabbed his bags and headed back to the living room. Melanie was surprised by the lack of anger in him.
There was one sign that he wasn't a stuck up prick like she originally thought. "Are you sure? You travel a lot. You need a comfortable bed to sleep in at least. I'll take the couch, really." Melanie wanted to return the kindness. She really did.
"No it's okay. What kind of guy would I be if I take the room away from a beautiful lady? I'm fine on the couch." He assured her and winked.
Melanie blushed lightly. "If you say so." she shrugged and smiled.
"Before we eat dinner, I have a surprise.'' Roman announced and looked at his sister with a grin on his face.
"What is it?" Adeline was already anxious. She loved surprises.
"Guess." Roman chuckled and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Oh just tell me!" Adeline whined. Melanie could only laugh at her best friend for being so impatient. No wonder she loved her like a sister.
"I bought us tickets to go to Universal Orlando tomorrow." he smiled knowing it would make Adeline happy. She loved going there no matter how old she was.
"No freakin way! Yes! I can't wait." Adeline smiled and hugged her brother. She could act like a child sometimes but everyone that knew her loved that about her. At times she was like that but most of the time, she acted her age.
"That's awesome. I hope you guys a great time." Melanie smiled sincerely.
Roman laughed and pulled the tickets out from the back pocket of his jeans. "I bought you one too Mel." He showed her the three tickets in his hand.
"You did?" Melanie was surprised again. This guy really wasn't stuck up. He was actually nice and...sweet. He was definitely getting on her good side and quick. She actually felt bad for thinking bad about him before meeting.
"Of course. Adeline did mention that you would stay over here from time to time. We wouldn't just leave you here." Roman smiled and handed her the ticket.
Melanie returned the smiled and as she grabbed the ticket, their fingers brushed lightly and she quickly pulled away shyly. She felt something during the contact and it made her extremely nervous. She wasn't the type that was like that but this guy for some reason made her nervous, in a good way. "Thank you. That was nice of you." she said looking away. "No problem" she heard him say.
(Midnight)
Melanie woke up in the middle of the night like always. For some reason, she would always wake up at that time and then would have a hard time falling back asleep. She rubbed her eyes and then slowly got off the bed to head to the restroom. She stepped out of the room and went inside the restroom. Once she was finished, she stepped out and heard the TV on in the living room. She walked over and noticed Roman laying down on the couch, facing away from her. She thought that he was probably asleep and left the TV on.
She stepped closer looking at the back of his head. She just wanted to make sure that he was sleeping to turn the TV off. She walked forward more and got a view at the side of his face. Slowly, she walked more and then suddenly, those grey eyes looked up her. "Oh my gosh!" she gasped and he sat up rapidly.
"Are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah I just...thought you were sleeping and left the TV on. I'm so sorry; I'm leaving now." she turned around to leave but he stopped her by grabbing her hand.
"It's okay. I think I startled you instead of the other way around." he chuckled.
"I'm sorry." she looked down at his hand that was holding onto hers.
"Stop apologizing." he smiled. "What are you doing up in the middle of the night?" he patted the space on the couch next to him and she sat down.
"I don't know." she shrugged. "I always wake up around this time and then I have trouble falling back asleep.''
"Really? That happens to me too.''
"Really?"
"Yeah. Of course, I don't sleep that much because of my crazy work schedule but when I do get a chance to get a full night sleep, I always wake up before it even hits 2 a.m."
"Wow. I wonder why that happens." Melanie thought it was quite amazing that the same thing happened to the both of them.
"Beats me." Roman shrugged and looked at her smiling.
"What?" Melanie furrowed her eyebrows. The look he was giving her was making her stomach flutter.
"Just admiring." he grinned "...your beauty." he continued. Melanie blushed hardcore and looked away. She felt her heart-strings being pulled by the words he just said. It had been a while since a guy was able to affect her that way.
"Stop that." she said quietly.
"Stop what?"
"Saying those nice things to me. You make me feel bad."
"I make you feel bad? What do you mean?" Roman was confused.
Melanie turned back around to look at him. "When Adeline told me that I was finally going to meet you, I wasn't really excited for it." she admitted.
"Oh?"
"I sort of thought that you would be stuck up and mean...since you're famous and all."
Roman chuckled. Not only was he used to girls being nervous around him; he was also used to girls thinking he was a jerk because of his built and his career. He was hoping that Melanie realized he wasn't that way. It would bother him if she honestly thought like that. "Do you still think that?" he had to ask. For some reason, her opinion was important to him.
Melanie smiled. "Not at all. I know I shouldn't have judged you before meeting you. Now that I actually know how you are, I realized you're actually nice and sweet.''
"Good." the large Samoan responded. "So...ready for tomorrow?" he change the subject.
"Yup! It's been a while since I've been to Universal so it should be nice.''
"Yeah, we're gonna have a great time." he nudged her elbow with his own.
"Yeah...I should get back to bed now. See you in the morning, we gotta wake up early remember?" she stood up.
"Yup.'' he stood up as well and looked down at her. He cupped her cheek and stepped closer to her.
Melanie knew exactly what was going to happen next and she was not about to stop him. She would have been dead crazy if she did.
Confirming her theory, Roman leaned in and pressed his lips onto hers. Melanie sighed into it and wrapped her arms around his neck once he placed his on her hips lightly. They were just kissing and their knees felt weak already. Roman decided to deepen the kiss since she wasn't stopping him like he initially thought she would. He opened up and brushed his tongue across her bottom lip slowly and seductively. He felt her immediately part her lips and he brought his tongue in between them the same way. His tongue danced with hers in slow motion and it caused Melanie to moan. His wonderful lips were doing things to her right now. She couldn't contain the moans that were escaping her mouth and traveling directly into his.
Melanie hooked her fingers behind his neck and pulled him closer, forcing her to bend her back backwards slightly. The former tag team champion groaned and brought his large hands to her back and began to stroke it. Her lips were a perfect fit against his and he couldn't get enough of the kiss. He felt like he could kiss her forever. After a while they broke the kiss simultaneously because of the lack of oxygen. Their lips separated with a faint popping noise. They breathed heavy and stared into each others eyes intensely.
"See you in the morning." The black-eyed beauty whispered. Roman nodded and let her go even though he didn't want to.
For the rest of the night, neither of them could fall back asleep. They would always have trouble all the time but they would eventually be successful and get a few hours of sleep. Not this time. With the kiss floating in their minds and still tingling on their lips, they could not fall into deep slumber. Instead, they wondered when their lips would meet again.
