Roman got home and tried to distract himself from thinking about Nala. He was going to see her tonight, but the time was moving so slow. The clock was teasing him and he didn't like it one bit.
Finally, he stood and grabbed his keys. Making his way to his truck and then the diner. Parking, he could see her setting down someone's order and smiling at them. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel before getting off and walking in.
He sat in a booth in her section.
"Nala, new customer", another waitress said.
Nala came out from the back and stopped when she saw it was Roman. She slowly made her way towards him and his beautiful smile.
"What can I get for you?", she asked.
"I've got several things in mind, but none we can do in public", he said.
She felt her cheeks warm.
"I'll take my usual, bacon double cheeseburger, coke", he said.
She wrote it down, her hands shaking.
"Do you have a moment?", he asked.
She met his eyes.
"Not for awhile", she said.
"I can wait. I have nowhere else to be", he said.
She nodded and went to the back. Setting his order on the wheel, she grabbed a cup and filled it with ice before putting it under the coke tab.
"He is cute. Who is he?", Emma asked as she stood beside her.
Nala looked in the direction Emma's eyes were in. She was looking at Roman, her Roman, but she couldn't exactly say that.
"His name's Roman Reigns. He's a teacher at my high school", Nala said.
Emma eyed him and Nala wanted to poke her eyes out so Emma won't look at him. Emma snatched the soda out of Nala's hands and unbuttoned her shirt a bit. Nala rolled her eyes.
"I've got this", Emma said.
She walked over with the soda and Roman looked from Emma to her. Nala shrugged. Roman, like every other time a woman tried to flirt with him, he nodded politely and declined when she offered to show him this wonderful place she had found.
"So what do you say?", Emma asked.
Nala came over with his food and set it down.
"I'm sorry, I'm busy Saturday, all day", he answered.
"How about Sunday then?", she asked.
Roman noticed Nala roll her eyes and he smiled.
"I'm sorry, I really am, but I've got someone and I'm not the type to cheat.", he said.
Nala froze. He had someone and he was all over her at school. Emma sighed.
"Well if it doesn't work out with her, you know where I work", she said, winking at him.
Roman nodded and Emma walked away.
"How's everything?", Nala asked.
"Wonderful now that you're here", he said.
"Do you think I'm stupid?", she asked.
He looked at her confused.
"I don't understand. Why would you say that?", he said.
"You've got someone, but you're all over me at school.", she whispered.
He reached for her hand and squeezed it.
"I was talking about you. This is why we need to talk", he whispered.
She could feel her heart racing. So many times she's dreamt of him and now here she was, his hand in hers.
"My break is in a few minutes, but we can't talk in here.", she whispered.
He nodded.
"My truck. I have tinted windows", he said.
She nodded. She went to serve other customers. Every once in a while her eyes would go to Roman. He was enjoying his food and whenever he felt her eyes on him, he would look over and wink.
"Oh boy", she mumbled while wiping down a table.
After he finished, she walked over, wringing her hands.
"All done?", she asked.
He nodded.
"I am. I love this place, the food has always been good", he said.
She nodded, it's why she chose to work here.
"Can we talk now?", he asked.
"My breaks in five minutes", she said, lifting his plate and cup.
She pulled out his bill and set it on the table before walking to the back. When she walked back out front, he was gone. She walked over to the table he was at and lifted the black folder that held his payment and a note.
Black truck, across the parking lot. I'm waiting- RR
She smiled and bit her lip. Once she finished cleaning up his table and walking to the back, she took her break. Grabbing her food and making her way to the black truck at the end of the parking. Soft music coming from inside. Opening the passenger door, she got in and he smiled.
"Do you mind if I eat?", she asked.
"Go for it", he said.
He turned his truck on and drove out of the parking lot. She put her seatbelt on.
"Don't worry that pretty little head of yours. I'll bring you back", he said smirking.
She ate her food as he drove them to this look out point. You could see the entire city.
"Wow. It's beautiful from up here", she said.
"You've never been here?", he asked.
He removed his belt and cleared his throat before asking his next question.
"A boy has never, you know, brought you up here?", he asked.
She blushed.
"No, I mean I've dated, but never here", she said.
He nodded. Once she finished her food she put the trash in the bag, reminding herself to throw it out.
"So um, about what happened in my class today. I don't ever do anything like that, ever. I like you Nala, a lot more than I should.", he admitted.
"If you're worried that I'm going to tell on you or something, I won't. I liked it and I like you", she said.
"So, if I asked you about possibly continuing this, what would you say?", he asked.
She didn't know if it was the way he said it or the way he was looking at her, maybe both, but she moved the middle section that blocked her from him and closed the space between them. She placed her hand on his cheek and connected their lips.
He pulled away a bit.
"Is that a yes?", he asked smiling.
She nodded and he reconnected their lips. He laid her back and laid half of his body on her. There was only so much room in his truck. His hands squeezing her thighs. He could easily remove her underwear in this outfit and take her now, but he wasn't going too. It was too soon and if he wanted a real relationship with her, he would wait.
She ran her hands over his hard body under his shirt, feeling his muscles twitch and flex. His lips were skilled, really skilled. He knew where to touch her to make her moan. Finally he pulled back, her eyes were still closed and her lips swollen. He nipped her bottom lip.
"What time do you have to be back?", he whispered.
She opened her eyes and jumped up.
"Shit. I forgot.", she said.
She was trying to catch her breath and he chuckled. They buckled back in and he exhaled loudly.
"Let's get you back", he said.
Nala hoped her face wasn't flushed and her lips weren't swollen still. She fixed her hair, he smiled the entire way back to the diner. Pulling in, he looked at her and she did the same.
"I'll see you tomorrow", he said.
She nodded. She was about to get off of the car. He took her hand, stopping her. She looked over and he tapped his lips. She smiled and leaned over, kissing him softly.
"Do you need a ride home? I can wait for you", he said.
"No, I've got my car", she said.
He nodded and she kissed him one last time before getting off his truck. She waved to him as he drove off. Getting to the back, she stopped to think about tonight. Was she really going to do this? Have a relationship with her teacher? One, might she add, that she's had a crush on since Freshmen year.
She found herself smiling. Yes. Yes she was.
