Sister of The Shield
Chapter Four
Emily was really excited, Seth Rollins had kind of asked her out. They exchanged numbers and would call or text each other so they could find out when they would have their first date. Emily was in her hotel room when her phone started ringing. She looked it at and smiled when she saw that it was Seth, she answered it and tried not to sound too excited.
"Hello."
"Hey... is this Emily?"
"Yes."
"Ok, just making sure... I wanted to ask you something."
"What?"
"So... you are Roman's sister... how is he when it comes to you dating people?"
"He's... very protective of me. I love that he's protective of me, but he needs to keep his nose out of my dating life. If he doesn't know already... I don't really want him knowing what's going on just yet. He won't leave me alone if he finds out that I'm dating someone."
"It's fine... I haven't told him, and I won't tell him unless you want me to. I wanted to call you and ask you when a good time to have our first date would be."
"Are you free this weekend Seth?"
"No... The Shield has house shows to go to."
"Hmm... Monday is Raw... Tuesday is the Smackdown taping."
"Wednesday or Thursday could work, if you're not busy."
"I'm not..."
"Ok... I've been traveling the road a while now... There is this really nice restaurant in St. Louis we could go to. How about we meet there Thursday at eight?"
"That sounds great Seth. I can't wait to see you."
Emily could almost hear his ego on the other end of the phone.
"A little eager aren't we?"
Emily laughed and blushed.
"Maybe a little."
"So Thursday at eight?"
"Yes. I'll see you then."
"Ok. I'll talk to you later."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye."
Finally it was Thursday, Emily was really excited for her date with Seth. He had told her that it was a nice restaurant so she would want to look nice. She didn't wear dresses much, and she didn't want to be over dressed. She just wanted to look cute. She decided to go with a cute yellow dress with a white belt and polka dots on it, she curled her hair a little and put on flat white shoes. She arrived at the restaurant a few minutes late, she went in and told one of the waiters that she was on the reservation list. The waiter led her back to the table and Seth was already waiting for her. She thought he looked really handsome. He had on a black button up shirt, a gray blazer and gray dress pants, his hair was pulled back into a man bun, he had glasses on. Seth cleaned up good, he smiled at her when he finally saw her and took in what she was wearing.
"Hey... good to see you Emily."
"Seth I'm so sorry I'm late... it took me a little longer than I thought to get ready, and I had a hard time finding the place."
"It's fine... don't worry about it. We're not in a hurry. Sit and relax a little."
The table they sat at was a booth, she sat down directly across from him. She noticed the way he and everyone else was dressed and felt under dressed.
"Oh wow... you said it was a nice restaurant so I tried to dress up a little, but I still feel under dressed."
"Well part of that may be my fault... I wanted to dress to impress. I think you look beautiful Emily."
Emily smiled, blushed and looked away for a moment. Then she said something back to him.
"Well... just so you know... you did dress to impress. You look great Seth, you clean up good."
"Thanks... I try."
"I didn't know you wore glasses."
"Mostly to read, but yeah..."
Emily blushed at this before she said it.
"I think... I think you look cute Seth. The glasses really make you look cute."
They were both doing their fair share of flirting and Seth laughed and was about to say something back when a waiter came to take their orders. Once the waiter was gone, they went back to talking.
"So... tell me a little something about yourself Emily."
"Well... as you already know... I help out the doctors for WWE, and I'm Roman's sister."
"Didn't you say something about being adopted?"
"Yeah... Roman's parents adopted me."
"Do you remember when?"
"They adopted me when I was about three..."
Emily seemed a little upset about this and Seth thought about changing the subject.
"I'm sorry... Did I upset you? Does talking about this upset you?"
"Not that much... But I'm always thinking... and always wondering... how is my real family doing today, and why would my mom keep my brother and get rid of me? Why..."
Emily had to stop for a minute to catch her breath, it was really upsetting her and a few tears ran down her face messing up her make up.
"Why... didn't she want me?... Why didn't she love me?"
Seth actually got up from where he was sitting, and went over to her wrapping his arms around her and brought her in for a hug. He handed her his napkin to wipe her tears.
"I'm sorry Emily... I shouldn't have asked... I think I got a little too personal too soon."
Emily wiped her eyes and hugged him.
"It's fine... you would have found out sooner or later."
"So... you and Roman... you're close?"
"Very close... Before his parents adopted me, there was this mean girl. She would always say that no one would adopt me, and she pushed me into the floor. Roman saw what happened and stood up for me. He was really the first person that ever stood up for me so... we will always have a special bond. His parents saw us together and I guess... thought I would make a good addition to the family."
"You seem a little calmer now."
"I am... I feeling better now Seth, thank you."
Seth went back over to his side of the table.
"So... on a little less personal note, what made you want to come to WWE?"
"Well, Roman had wrestling in his blood, but I can't really tolerate physical pain. Roman's mom is a nurse and I kind of followed in her footsteps. I like helping people and I love WWE so I thought, why not help out the doctors at WWE?"
Emily looked around at all the decorations in the room. At some point their food came, so they would eat a little and talk a little.
"This really is a nice restaurant. I've had boyfriends in the past, but I've never really been to a restaurant this nice."
"Well... what did they do, take you out to fast food and pizza places?"
"Yeah... that and the fact that we would never really be together very long once they found out I was Roman's sister. Roman is a big guy... so he kind of scares everyone away. The last relationship I had didn't go very well, the last guy I was dating cheated on me, and Roman kicked his ass for it. That was a year ago. I haven't dated for two reasons, because I was really heartbroken, and also because Roman kicked the guy's ass. So I told myself that if I started a new relationship that I wouldn't want Roman to know about it because he would be so overprotective of me. I know it's not good to have secrets, but I don't want Roman to know just yet."
"I won't tell him if you won't."
Emily smiled at him and went to shake his hand.
"Deal. So Seth... if you don't kind me asking... what made you want to go on a date with me anyway?"
"Well... I would see you with Roman and sometimes Dean so I started wondering if maybe you didn't like me. I kind of admired you from a distance because I wasn't exactly sure if you were with Dean or..."
"No. Dean is just a good friend. I'm a little shy... I've kind of had a crush on you for a while now, but I was too afraid to tell you. Sometimes I would see you with another girl so I wasn't sure if that person was seeing you or if that person was related to you. So, I've kind of admired you from a distance too."
"Well, I did have a girlfriend, she would sometimes be around backstage, but we would keep getting together and keep breaking up. Finally I had enough, I always thought you were cute so... I asked you when I saw you if you would go on a date with me. What do you think so far?"
"I've really enjoyed being here with you Seth, having someone to talk to, and the food was really great."
"So, you would do this again?"
"Yeah! I really like you Seth."
"And I like you... So, I guess I should ask just to make it official... Will you be my girlfriend?"
"I would love to!"
"Awesome!"
Seth goes to kiss her, but she stops him.
"Wait... I said I'd be your girlfriend, but I don't kiss on the first date."
"Oh... Sorry Emily. That was me. I got a little too excited there."
"It's ok. We could hug or hold hands. I just think a kiss on the first date would be taking things a little too fast."
"I completely understand. We can take things slow, no problem."
Seth pays for their dinner and they go their separate ways for the night. Emily was really excited now, she was officially Seth's girlfriend now. In a way she did want to kiss Seth, but a kiss on the first date would be taking things too fast right? Seth seemed like he was cool with taking things slow, but this is just what he showed her. How did he really feel about it? Was he upset because she didn't kiss him? Emily felt a little guilty about keeping this a secret from Roman, but she may not have been the only one keeping secrets.
