Sadie thought the night had gone quite well, she was usually shy around guys at their own house but she didn't feel any of that with Roman, but she did beat him at every single game they played. She was worried that because Roman was such a big confidence fuelled guy he wouldn't take losing to a girl well.
She opened her eyes and reacted like a vampire as daylight hit her pupils, she remembered falling asleep on the sofa at around 11 but that was it. Roman had covered her up with a blanket so she stood up right folded it up and went in search or Roman and a clock so she could put the blanket away and find out how late for work she was.
His house was pretty big, so there was a lot of rooms she was unsure of, but she found one room with the picture of a dog on the door, or a "hound of justice" and she was sure this was Romans bedroom, she knocked on the door but there was no reply so she turned the handle and found a dog waiting for her as she entered the room and Roman fast asleep on the bed opposite.
The dog did not look happy to see her and looked like he was going to bite her, Sadie screamed and Roman jumped up and fell out of bed forcing the dog to go over and attack him.
Sadie dropped the blanket and exited the room, she heard Roman shout at the dog before he followed her half naked out in the hall way.
"What the hell were you doing in there?" He asked visibly angry.
"I came to give you the blanket back, I didn't know where it went and I was worried I was late for work." She pleaded.
"It's Sunday, nobody is late for work because we don't work." He replied. "Did you not see the warning on the door?" He pointed at the picture of the dog.
Sadie smiled, "I thought it was something to do with The Shield."
"It could have been, but it wasn't, so please knock next time."
"I did knock, twice and you didn't respond."
"I'm sorry then." Roman winced as he showed the mark the dog had left on him.
"Your own dog has done that to you?" She gasped looking at the cut down his arm.
"Oscar is just misunderstood" Roman smiled.
"He's something, let's get you cleaned up, do you have a first aid kit?"
"Cabinet in the bathroom." He replied.
Sadie stared at him for a moment before he continued "Second door on the right."
"There are no more dogs in there are there?"
Roman laughed, "No of course not."
Sadie found the kit and searched in it for a bandage before returning to Roman and finding some warm water to clean the blood from his arm.
"You're lucky it isn't much deeper or you would have needed stitches." She half smiled.
"What are you, like a trained nurse too? First you write everything I say, then you beat me at every video game I own and now you are medically qualified?"
"No, I have just cut myself a lot of times, me and glass don't like each other so I have to stay away from it."
Roman smiled. "Neither do me and dogs apparently."
Sadie finished up and turned back to Roman, she realised that he was still sitting there half-naked and she was just in a pair of shorts and a tshirt and began to get nervous again.
"You ok? Am I all done? He asked.
"Yeah, all cleaned up, just be careful on Raw tomorrow, I know what they have planned, don't strain it too much of the skin won't be able to seal back together." She said in a matter of fact voice.
"Yes nurse." Roman replied and noticed she was staring at his chest and refusing to make eye contact. "What's wrong, is my half nakedness making you awkward?" he asked.
"No, I was actually enjoying the view, you have some great tattoos." She replied.
"Family stuff, it's all part of my Samoan tradition to have them all, I think they look cool and I love my family and where we came from o I am honoured to continue the tradition."
"Wow, I wish I had something like that, I guess family is what you are born with and stuck with, at least I can choose my friends. She smiled at Roman.
"Are we friends? After last night, I don't think I want to be your friend, I have to go to work tomorrow."
"We don't have to tell them I won everything if your ego can't take it. Let's say you won a few…"
Roman smiled. "You are already set to lie for me, I think you just jumped from friend to best friend." Roman stood up and walked over to Sadie who was positioned on the kitchen counter, she felt a bit uneasy not knowing what to expect but Roman stepped between her legs took her face in his hand an leaned in to kiss her.
Sadie froze, "You don't think we are moving things a bit to fast? I have only known you for two days."
"I feel like I have known you a lot longer, you are amazing, I have never met a girl so smart and strong and different, I really like you." Roman said leaning away.
Sadie thought through the compliments before leaning forward herself and making contact with Roman's lips, the connection was just what she was hoping for and when they broke off she smiled, put her hands on his massive shoulders and climbed down from the counter.
"You tease." Roman called after her.
"If you want it, come get it." She replied before running off into one of the many corridors of the house.
Roman looked after her, and decided. He liked this game, but he definitely wasn't going to be beaten by a girl again.
