JENN's POINT OF VIEW:
"You got in late last night," says Rachel as I am getting ready to go to Roman's football game.
"Yeah, Roman and I had a late night," I say, "Did you know he is actually pretty smart?"
"I had a few ideas," she says as I pull out a Georgia Tech t-shirt to wear. "So what did you two do?"
"Well, we went out for sushi and did a lot of talking then we went to see a movie," I say, "it was a very nice night. I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed being with him."
"That's good," she says with a smile. "I'm glad you had a good time. Roman is a good guy but he does have that wild sex side to him."
"I'm aware you told me but I'm giving him a chance to prove to me that he is more than that," I say as I slip my pink knitted t-shirt off and slide on the Georgia Tech shirt. "I like him, Rachel. I think there is a lot more to him than you realize."
"I've known Roman for a long time," she says with almost a bit of envy in her voice. "I know what kind of guy he is. He's not this dating type of guy. That won't last long he'll want more eventually. Are you ready to do more with him?" she asks.
"Maybe," I say as I pull my hair up into a ponytail. "He was such a gentleman I find it hard to believe that he's this pig you're talking about. He was opening doors and everything. He did a great job."
"Cause he probably wants in your panties," she says.
"Why are you being so bitter about this? You act like you have feelings for him. Do you?"
"Of course not," she says, "he's just a good friend of mine. I don't have feelings for him. I just don't want you to get hurt."
"I'm not going to get hurt," I say. "I'll be all right," I say as I tie some ribbons in my hair.
"I just want you to keep your guard up with him, Jenn. What are you up to this afternoon?"
"Going to watch Roman play football and then hang out with him afterward."
"What are you two doing after the game?" she asks.
"I don't know, probably getting something to eat and then going back to his dorm room to hang out."
"Really, Jenn? Do you think that's a good idea to really go hang out in his dorm room given his sexual history? That's where he wants you so he can seduce you. Do you want to have sex with him tonight?"
"If it's supposed to happen then okay but if not then it won't happen. I know how to say no but if I think it feels right I'm going ahead with it and have sex with him."
"Then he loses all respect for you," she says. "Then he's going to want more and then more. Don't' have sex with him tonight."
"I think I'm old enough to make my own decisions. Look I don't' know what went down between you and Roman," I say, "but to me I think he's a great guy. I like him a lot. I would love to have more with him then just a few dates."
"He's the first guy you ever dated."
"And I'm the first girl he's ever dated. It makes sense."
"Well, good luck with that."
"Thanks," I say. "Are you going to the game too?"
"Yeah," she says, "I wouldn't miss his first game for the world," she says with a smile and I can hear it in her voice that she does care about Roman and she does have feelings for him. It explains why she's been so different since Roman and I started to hang out with each other deep down I think she may be a little jealous of what Roman and I have going on right now.
"And you're sure you're all right with Roman and I going out? What if we get in a relationship would you be okay with that?"
"If you two are happy then go for it," she says. "I have no problem with you two but if you two keep asking me if I do then I will have a problem with both of you."
"All right," I say. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," she says. "Now let's get ready for that football game."
When we arrive at the football field we find our seats and take a seat. I can't explain how excited I am to see Roman play football. I've never really been the football type of girl and I know nothing about football but I am anxious to see him out on the field playing the game. I don't even know if he's offense or defense. I probably know that much about football and that's it. We scream and cheer as the team makes their way out onto the field. Roman stops and waves at me, gives me a wink before running off to join his team. He is so cute. Throughout the game we are cheering for the team and I have to ask Rachel what's happening because I have no clue but I am enjoying my first football game. I'm enjoying watching Roman play something that he loves. Rachel and I make him his own cheering section. Georgia Tech ends up winning their first game of the season and I couldn't be happier. I watch as the team celebrates on the field before they go back to their locker room. Rachel and I leave the stands and she waits with me outside of the locker room so I can meet up with Roman. "You like him a lot don't you?" she asks.
"Yes," I say, "I like him a lot. He's a nice guy."
"He is," she says. "I'm going to go. Are you okay waiting out here by yourself?" she asks as I look around to see that most of the fans have cleared out.
"I should be all right."
"Okay," she says, "Are you coming back to the dorm tonight?"
"I should," I say.
"All right," she says, "Enjoy your night, I'll see you later."
"See you later," I say as we share a hug before she goes off leaving me alone to wait for Roman.
I wait outside for a few more minutes maybe about 15 more minutes before Roman's team makes their way out of the locker room. I smile as I see Roman come from the door. "Well, if it isn't my most beautiful fan," he says dressed in a black wife beater and a pair of blue jeans freshly showered.
"Hey," I say with a smile as he meets me and wraps his arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around him and take in his scent. "You smell good."
"Thanks," he says with amusement in his voice before he kisses my lips softly. "So did you enjoy the game?" he asks as he takes my hand into his.
"It was my first football game," I say as we walk to his car. "I enjoyed it well I enjoyed seeing you play."
"I enjoyed you cheering for me," he says with a smile. "So did you decide if you wanted to go to that party or go back to my dorm room?"
"I was thinking that maybe we could go get some Chinese food and then go back to your dorm room to hang out. Is your roommate going to be there?"
"No, Jack is going to that party," he says. "We'll be alone at the dorm if that's all right with you but if you're uncomfortable with that we can find something else to do."
"I'm okay with that," I say with a smile.
"All right," he says with a smile before he kisses my lips. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," I say with a smile. I don't' know what it is about Roman but he is a gorgeous specimen and I can't go a minute without wanting to be with him. I want more time with him and I want to spend as much time with him as I possibly can.
"Let's go get some Chinese food and then go hang out at my dorm," he says as we reach his car. He opens my door for me and allows me to climb in before he walks around to the driver's side after throwing his bag into the backseat of his black SUV. He climbs in and puts on his seatbelt, starts the car and takes my hand as he drives to the Chinese restaurant to get our food and then we're back at his dorm room to eat.
"Your room is nice," I say as I look around as we walk into the room.
"Thanks," he says as he shuts the door behind him placing the food down on a table by the door. "Make yourself comfortable," he says as he gets our food ready at the table. "If you want anything to drink I have some coke in the mini fridge."
"Thanks," I say, "but do you have water?"
"Yes," he says with a smile. "Help yourself and can you get me a bottle of water out too."
"Sure," I say as I get into his mini fridge and pull out two bottles of water.
"Do you want to eat at the table or do you want to sit on the floor and watch some TV while we eat?"
"We can sit on the floor to eat and watch TV."
"All right," he says as he brings our food over to me as I take a seat on the floor next to his bed. "Here is your shrimp fried rice and your egg rolls," he says taking a seat next to me as he hands me my food.
"Thank-you," I say. "It smells so good."
"It's mouth-watering," he says, "I am starving."
"I bet," I say as I open my chopsticks. "You worked hard out on that field today."
"I did," he says with a smile, "but only for you."
"So you played for me?" I ask with a smile.
"Of course," he says as he opens his shrimp fried rice. "So you like Chinese food too?"
"I love it," I say with a smile. "I'm very exotic in taste."
"I can tell," he says with a smile. "What is your favorite type of food?"
"I would like to say Chinese but I really like Japanese food mainly sushi," I say with a smile. "What about you?" I ask.
"Japanese only because of the sushi," he says. "So what do you want to watch?" he asks as he turns the TV on with the remote.
"Anything that you want. I don't really watch much TV so I don't have any idea on what we can watch."
"Okay," he says, "are you all right with MTV?"
"That's fine," I say as he puts on MTV.
"Punk'd is on. I like this show. Have you ever seen it?"
"No," I say as I eat. "I've never seen it."
"Oh well it's a show where Ashton Kutcher plays tricks on different celebrities. It's funny as shit. I love it."
"Oh it sounds interesting," I say with a smile as we move closer together to eat and watch TV together. Roman was not kidding when he said Punk'd was funny as shit. I loved it and it kept me laughing through dinner. When we are finished eating Roman picks up our things to throw them away while I get up and look at the pictures by his bed. I smile when I see the pictures of him with his family. I smile when I see a picture of him holding a baby girl in his arms. "Whose baby is that?" I ask him as he comes over to his bed.
"That's my niece," he says. "That was taken last year. She's a year old now but I love her."
"Aw, she's cute," I say, "What's her name?"
"Thank-you," he says with a smile. "Her name is Kenzie. She's my sister's little girl. I love her." I smile at him as I see the happiness on his face as he looks at the picture. "I'm going to miss her. She's my buddy."
"You like kids?" I ask him.
"They're okay. I don't see myself having any but I like kids. I like my nieces and nephews," he says.
"I'm sure you're a great uncle."
"I try to be," he says. "I try to spend as much time with them as I can."
"I bet," I say with a smile. "And is that your dad?" I ask pointing to a picture of him with an older man.
"That's Pops," he says with a smile. "And that's my mom," he says pointing to a picture of him with his mom. "And these are my brother and sisters," he says pointing to a picture of him with his siblings.
"It looks like you have a nice family."
"My family is pretty nice. They're very welcoming. Once you spend any amount of time with my family they consider you family," he says with a smile.
"That's awesome," I say with a smile as I sit down on his bed as he sits down next to me. "You know I don't think Rachel likes us dating."
"You get that impression too?" he asks as he wraps his arm around my shoulders as we lean back against the wall. "I thought I was the only one."
"Yeah she says she's okay with it but I'm not sure she really is. What happened with you two?"
"Eh," he says. "I really don't think it's a good topic of discussion for us. Let's just say Rachel and I had relations. She may have wanted a little more but I wasn't willing to give her more. I never really thought about having more until I met you," he says. "I like Rachel and she's one of my best friends but at the time I didn't' want more with her. I kick myself for that but it is what it is."
"I see," I say. "So what is it about me that makes you want more?"
"I don't know. You're special, Jenn," he says. "I've never met anyone like you and I like you a lot. I want to have more with you."
"I see," I say with a smile. "Should I be honored that you want more with me?"
"Yes that's a big step for me," he says with a smile. "Come here," he says pulling me onto his lap so that I'm straddling him. "I like you a lot, Jenn, and this whole dating thing is something new to me. I'm not sure what to do or how to go about it. I don't know if this is too soon to say or not but I want a relationship with you. I want to have a relationship with you I mean if that's what you want."
"Roman," I say as I wrap my arms around his neck as his arms snake around my waist. "I'd like that a lot and I would like a lot more with you too."
"So are you willing to be my girlfriend? Like I said completely new to this so I'm not sure if this is all too soon or not."
"It feels right to me," I say with a smile.
"Are you saying yes?" he asks with a smile.
"Yeah," I say smiling back at him. "I have a good feeling about you, Roman Reigns."
"I have a good feeling about you too Jennifer Thomas," he says with a smile. "I've never felt like this with anyone and then I met you and it was like everything just started to fall together."
"I know," I say with a smile. "There is just something about you that I can't stay away from. I just want to spend as much time with you as I can. I like you a lot Roman."
He smiles at me and says, "I like you a lot too, Jenn," he says. "You know you have the most beautiful dark eyes I've ever seen."
"You have nice eyes too. I like the blue-grey color you have going on," I say with a smile.
He laughs at me and says, "my eyes are brown. I just wear contacts that make my eyes this blue-grey color."
"Oh," I say with a smile. "I see. They're still pretty."
"Thank-you," he says with a smile. "Everyone thinks they're real but no just plain brown."
"I bet you look nice with brown eyes. Why wear the blue-grey contacts?"
"I don't know. I always wanted blue-grey eyes so I got the contacts," he says with a smile. "I wanted a different look you know?"
"I get that," I say with a smile. "But your lips are real right?" I ask with a smile.
"Very real," he says with a smile. "Why?"
"Because I like your lips," I say with a smile, "they're so full and beautiful and kissable."
"Hmm," he says with a smile. "Is that right? They're kissable."
"Very," I say with a smile as I take my fingertip over his lips. "And they're so soft. They're perfection and I just want to kiss them."
"Maybe they want you to kiss them," he says with a smile as he grabs my hand and kisses it with his soft lips. "Maybe they want to kiss your perfect sculptured lips," he says with a smile.
"So maybe they should," I say with a smile, "or maybe I should just do this," I say with a smile as I lean down, press my lips against his. He groans against my mouth as I slide my tongue across his full soft lips. He parts his lips allowing me to slide my tongue into his mouth. My tongue finds his and begins to twirl and twist with it. He softly sucks my tongue before he takes over with the kiss. His tongue dominating mine as I run my fingers through his growing hair and I feel his hands slide up my shirt. I smile against his lips as I feel his large hands on my rib cage. His hands are so soft against my skin. He slides his hands up and lifts my shirt over my head. I help him take it off before our mouths are pressed together again. I take my hands up his shirt and feel his firm chest as I slide my hands up and down his body. He helps me take his shirt off before his lips are on my neck, laying soft sweet kisses on my neck. I moan at the feel of his lips and his hands caressing my body. I take my hands over his chest as he moans against my neck. He flips me over and towers over me. He looks down at me with a smile on his face as I smile back up at him. I pull him down so that his lips find mine again and we share a passionate and urgent kiss.
He pulls away and says, "I think things are starting to go too far, Jenn."
"Maybe I want them to go too far," I say with a smile.
"I'm not sure I do," he says. "Look," he says sitting up and pulling me up with him. "I've made a history of sleeping with different girls. You're not one of those girls. I don't want to have sex with you. Not yet anyway," he says. "I have more respect for you than that, Jenn. I like you a lot and I don't want us to start off our relationship by having sex so soon. I want a little more time to get to know you and spend some time with you. Besides this would be your first time. I don't' want you to lose your virginity like this. I want it to be special. I want it to be a nice experience for you. Having sex with you in my dorm room after eating Chinese food isn't exactly special or romantic, okay?"
"Okay," I say. He's right I can't lose my virginity like this. Not this way it's too soon as much as I like him I'm not really ready to have sex with him, I'm glad he feels the same way that I do.
"Come here," he says pulling me to him. "I like you a lot, Jenn and I just want to do this right."
"I understand," I say as I rest my head on his chest and take his hand into mine intertwining our fingers. "It is too soon."
"Yeah," he says before he kisses the top of my head. "So do you want to watch a movie or some TV?"
"TV is fine," I say with a smile.
"TV it is," he says with a smile as he puts something else on TV. We snuggle up together on his bed and lay down to watch TV together just enjoying our time together in other ways that don't involve us having sex.
