Don't Let Go, Love : Roman Reigns Mini Series
Chapter 4: No Interference
"Yes… Yes… Oh God, yes! Ooh Roman!"Samantha gasped softly as her eyes popped open and she sat up still clutching the sheets from her very vivid dream. She quickly regained her composure knowing she was at Roman's house and sleeping in his bed. Her cheeks were burning with embarrassment as she shook her head and dragged herself out of his big comfy bed. She trudged into the bathroom and smiled at the nice little layout of toiletries he had arranged for her.
"Aww he's so sweet and such a gentleman at that…" she mused while brushing her teeth. Once Sam was finished with her morning wake up ritual, she let down her ponytail and gave her head a little shake allowing her hair to fall down around her face giving off a perfect morning glow. Just as she made her way out of the bathroom, her stomach growled in response to the food she could smell coming from the kitchen.
"Good morning…" Samantha spoke softly with a coy smile.
"And good morning to you too, sunshine!" Roman grinned as his eyes gave Sam's body a quick scan. He couldn't help but notice that she had chosen his baseball shirt to sleep in. He couldn't tell what she had picked last night as they were both wearing robes during their late night chat. She looked stunning as the sunlight peeked through the kitchen blinds and kissed her brown skin.
"You hungry?" he asked, reaching into the cabinet to grab two plates.
"Most definitely and something smells absolutely delicious in here." she giggled. "You didn't tell me you were a master chef as well." Sam teased.
"Oh I wouldn't take it that far now…" Roman chuckled. "Hell I did good to master the art of Ramen noodles in college." He loved the sound of Samantha's giggle as it was like music to his ears. He didn't want to admit it but he knew he was falling hard.
"Since you cooked, I'll get our drinks. Just uh… point me to the cabinet with the glasses in them." she blushed, awaiting Roman's guidance.
"Third cabinet on your left…" he nodded, putting their plates down on the table. Sam reached in and retrieved two glasses then hopped over to the fridge.
"What would you like to drink? You've got… apple juice, orange juice, milk, water and tea." she smiled, looking over at him.
"I'll take whatever you're having baby girl." Roman smiled as he watched her move about the kitchen. She happily poured two glasses of apple juice then shut the doors to the fridge before walking over to join him at the table.
"This all looks delicious." Sam stated as her eyes surveyed their plates.
"Thanks! Now I only hope it tastes as good as it looks…" he chuckled before they dug into their food.
"You know you didn't have to help me with the dishes right? You're my guest... or date I should say." Roman blushed as Samantha handed him another dish to dry.
"I really don't mind at all actually." she gleamed. "Besides you made a very tasty breakfast." Sam sighed in content. A peaceful silence fell over them as Roman continued to admire the way his shirt hugged Samantha's curves. He also adored the way she stepped on her own toes when she was a bit nervous. She looked so delicate and fragile but he knew she was very strong willed, especially with being in the current situation she was.
"And that is the last dish!" Sam rejoiced, handing Roman the small saucer plate to dry with a big smile on her face. She propped herself back against the sink as she watched him put away the last of the dishes. His body captivated her and she was practically already swept away by his charm. Her eyebrow went up in admiration of his perfectly rounded backside and she bit her lip to calm herself down.
"Well...that's done and I guess I should be taking you back now, huh?" Roman pouted slightly as he maneuvered to stand in front of her. Their eyes locked and their breathing grew shallow the closer they got to one another.
"Uh...yeah I... I guess so." Sam stuttered as their lips were now mere inches apart. She gripped the sink when Roman cupped a side of her face with his big hand. Her heart felt as if it was about to jump out of her chest. With her eyes closed and lips beginning to pucker, she felt the heat from Roman's face as he leaned in for the kill.
Their lips barely brushed when Samantha pulled back abruptly as her phone began to ring. She instantly recognized the ringtone and knew who was calling. It pained her to end such a beautiful moment as she knew this call was not about to be pleasant.
"Sorry..." she winced, looking up at him sheepishly as she felt horrible for their moment being ruined. "It's my mom calling..." she shrugged in defeat.
"Go ahead baby girl... I'm gonna go and get dressed. I'll bring you your clothes in a sec..." Roman said softly with a half smile as he turned to walk away. Sam took a deep breath to calm her mind before she answered her phone.
"H..Hey mom, what's up?" she asked reluctantly.
"Hey are you at work right now, cause I need a favor?" Della replied.
"Nah...I'm off." Sam said with a little nod to Roman as he handed over her clothes. Her eyes followed after him and she watched as he took off his tank top and slipped into a red fitted t-shirt. She damn near moaned into her phone the second she saw him shirtless but was quickly snapped out of her day dream by the sound of her mother's voice tearing through the phone.
"Samantha did you hear me? I need you to come and pick me up!" her mom snarled.
"Whoa, ok I heard you… And where am I picking you up from? Didn't aunt Evaline drop you off at home?" she huffed, pulling her shorts up her legs as she balanced her phone between her ear and shoulder. Roman headed back out of the kitchen and stopped mid-stride as he caught a glimpse of Sam's perfectly round butt. He covered his mouth to muffle his snickering when he realized she was wearing blue cheeky panties with Cookie Monster on them.
"She's so cute yet sexy as hell… And damn that ass is spectacular!" he mused, watching her as she scurried off into his bedroom to finish getting dressed. He grabbed his wallet and keys from the breakfast bar and checked his phone for any messages before Samantha came rushing back out into the living room fully clothed.
"Everything alright?" he asked cautiously, taking note of her mood shift. Her smile was gone and she seemed a bit more reserved. "Sam…" Roman said softly, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but I need to get back home to pick up my car so I can go and pick my mom up from the casino." she muttered in defeat. "She and my aunt went down there together and my aunt got pissed and left her there! So now… I have to go clean this mess up."
Roman frowned as he pulled Samantha against his chest and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tight. He pulled back to look down at her and smile. Although it didn't seem like much, Sam gave him a small smile in return.
"I could drive you to pick her up… You know and maybe save some gas in the process." he shrugged. "Hell the casino's only an hour away."
"No!" Sam screeched with a sheepish look on her face. "Sorry…It's just that… I really like what we've got going here and I don't want to ruin that by involving my mother." she sighed, pushing her hair back out of her face.
"All the more reason for me to go with you, Samantha. I'm not afraid to meet your mom and this definitely wouldn't be my first rodeo." Roman chuckled, feeling a little sense of relief after seeing her beautiful smile again. She couldn't help but cave into his broad chest for another hug and close her eyes.
"You're really sweet and... I'll be happy when you do finally meet my mom but right now, you're my little slice of sanity." she blushed, watching him tilt his head like a large puppy. "Ok, you're not little at all but you get what I'm trying to say here, don't you?" she giggled slightly. Roman simply smiled and nodded in agreement as they headed towards his front door.
"I get it. Right now we're just being ourselves with no interference. I can roll with that…" he grinned, walking her over to his truck. "Just um… if you ever need me for anything, if you're feeling stressed or sad or angry or whatever… I'm always a phone call away. I'm excited to see where we go from here!" he beamed, tracing a finger down her cheek. "Now let's get you home…"
Roman pulled up to Samantha's driveway and hopped out to grab the giant white tiger he had won for her at the carnival from the backseat of his truck.
"Didn't want you to leave without your prize…" he grinned handing her the stuffed animal. She smiled graciously giving her tiger a hug.
"I'm sorry I had to leave so abruptly. Everything about our first date was perfect...and then the phone rang." she pouted. "But I'm definitely looking forward to our next one…" she winked as she turned to walk away. Roman tried his hardest to resist but he couldn't just let Sam leave him that easily. He had to know or else he go mad thinking of her for the rest of the day.
"Hey Sam… there's one more thing." he uttered softly, grabbing at her hand gently.
"Yeah, what's…" Samantha paused as she felt Roman's lips crashing against hers. In an instant her entire body felt as if it was on fire. She wrapped her free arm around his neck to pull him closer. He steadied her hips with his big hands so Sam never lost her balance. He felt up and down his spine as he desperately tried to pull her in more.
Their breathing grew heavy and Samantha moaned into the kiss, feeling Roman's thick tongue swipe at her bottom lip. She nipped at him playfully then parted her lips allowing his tongue access to her mouth. They were completely oblivious to their surroundings as the intensity of that kiss had consumed them. Everything in this moment was perfect….. until Samantha's phone rang, quickly snatching them back into reality.
The kiss broke quickly as Sam pulled away from him and they both gasped to catch their breath. Her impish grin was a positive sign to Roman that she had thoroughly enjoyed that as much as he did.
"I should probably be uh… And you should too...right?" he blushed, running a hand over his hair. "I couldn't help myself…" he panted, gazing over at her.
"Yeah…" Samantha agreed, gulping a second later. "I… I'll… see you later ok."
"You got it Cookie Monster." he nodded. "Drive safe and whatever happens… don't let your mom get you down." Roman smirked, watching Sam get into her car. She sat that there for a minute pondering the nickname he had just given her and gasped in shock realizing that he must have caught a glimpse of her underwear earlier that morning.
"Hey...no fair! You totally saw my undies, didn't you?" she giggled and shouted at Roman as he headed back to his vehicle with a booming chuckle. He flashed her a winning smile and winked, hopping into his truck to tail her out of her neighborhood until they would eventually split off at the highway. He was simply too excited to go straight home so he made a detour to his buddy Dean's house and hoped that Sam would be fine with her mother.
Still in a blissful haze, Samantha had finally arrived at the casino to pick up her mom. As soon as she spotted Della walking out of the casino, her phone buzzed and she smiled when she saw Roman's name.
(Roman): Hang in there baby girl. You can do this!
She clutched her phone and held it close to her heart, then took a deep breath as she heard the car door opening.
"Bout time you got here. What the hell took you so long?" Della huffed, tossing out her cigarette before she got into the car. She didn't always see eye to eye with her daughter but she did try her best to respect Sam's wishes of no smoking in her car.
"Sorry, there was a bad traffic jam on 29 so it had me delayed a bit." Sam shrugged, looking over at her mom. "Do I need to stop anywhere on our way home?" she asked, knowing her mom's usual post casino routine.
"I need to go by the bank and make a deposit. Otherwise I just need some coffee, food and sleep." her mother laughed, slapping at her leg. "You look nice by the way and what's with the big ass tiger in the backseat?" Della inquired.
"Thanks… And the tiger came from the carnival last night." Sam grinned, biting her lip as she thought about Roman and their super heated kiss from earlier.
"Oh… sounds like you had fun last night." Della stated. "I'm glad you decided to go out and have some fun."
"Yeah… I had an awesome time! What about you and auntie Evaline? What the hell happened...why'd she leave you?" Sam asked as she merged onto the highway.
"Girl you know Evaline can't hang like we can. Plus when I started winning she got mad and I just can't handle her negative attitude sometimes. Always complaining that she can't win shit! Well of course she can't win with an attitude like that!" Della cackled, glancing over at her daughter. Sam simply shook her head and laughed as she continued their drive home.
The conversation was flowing smoothly but she knew it would be a matter of time before the clock ran out and her mother was the one being negative, but she did her best to smile and remember Roman's encouraging text. Not to mention the feel and taste of his lips. Regardless of what she and her mom were discussing on this hour long drive, there was only one thing on Samantha's mind and that was Roman…
