Chapter 4
I leaned on a brick wall, listening to music in my headphones. It was raining and my hoody was slowly starting to get damper and damper, gradually taking its warmth away from me. I could feel drops of rain start to hit the peak of my hood harder and quicker.
I had just spoken to my family and even though they were receiving the pay cheques I sent them and that they were happier with life in general, I sorely missed them. It took everything I had to not start to cry over the phone. My sister was enjoying school as usual and developed a small crush on her Math teacher; my brother had been passing all his assessments in his physiotherapist training and my mom spoke to me about when her best friend came over with her children and the chaos that ensued in the garden, as well as the mess made in the kitchen from making brownies. It was all funny and adorable though, she assured. 2 and a half months had flown by since I left it seemed.
It was times like this that I missed teasing my sister, the little jokes from my brother and the wonderful company of my mom. I wanted to tell her about Roman, and the way I felt around him but I knew that it would all go downhill when I would mention that it's possible he's just being 'a guy' and probably had no intention beyond just getting some. My mom being my mom would deny this. But this was a hugely popular and attractive man who could send a woman swooning with just a wink, born with such charisma that no other man could even dream of having it - so what could he possibly feel for me other than wanting me in his bed?
Suddenly, I felt a presence shift next to me. I looked up and saw none other than Dean Ambrose holding an umbrella above me, his other hand in his pocket and he looked sheepish, as though he didn't usually make such kind gestures. I took my headphones out.
'You okay?' he asked.
I nodded, but I knew it was unconvincing.
Dean looked at me warily, his jaw moving from chewing his gum.
'Come on, I'll walk you home.'
I got off of the wall and began walking with him.
'You're lucky I saw you on my way back from this chick's place.' He grinned. 'I got away while I could, clingy motherfucker.'
I playfully rolled my eyes while smiling. Dean Ambrose was such a guy.
'Y'know, you were pretty impressive yesterday.' Dean said, looking at me with what appeared to be subtle respect.
'Thanks,' I replied, proud I had received the respect I had got from the indie star. 'I could have been much better though.'
'Ah, you'll get better with time. Happens to everybody. You executed your moves pretty well, even if they were imitations.' He then started to chuckle. 'That Sweet Chin Music really annoyed the hell out of Seth after the match, y'know.'
I giggled. 'I figured it would.'
'So, why were you out in the rain like that?'
I hesitated before answering. 'I kinda miss my family.'
Dean paused. 'Yeah… Look, I'm not exactly the best son in the world.' He said, as we turned a corner.
'And I don't have the best parents in the world either. Yeah, life on the road is tough, but if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the people you work with and become friends with, eventually become your family. I have my boys who became my brothers well before they were even considered as best friends. And I know you have those two girls. We all look out for each other- otherwise why would have ran out and saved AJ when she got ambushed? What I'm trying to say, is that it's okay to miss your family back home, but don't forget: you got one right here too.'
We finally arrived at the hotel I was staying at with AJ and Kaitlyn.
'Thanks, Dean.' I said, hugging him tightly and really appreciating the things he had said. I hadn't expected that talk from him of all people.
He ruffled my hair affectionately, like an older brother would to his baby sister.
Well, as affectionate as Dean Ambrose could get.
'No problem, kid. Besides, Roman wouldn't exactly appreciate it if I let his girl stand in the rain.' His eyes glinting with tease and waiting to see my reaction. He smirked once he saw me blush profusely at him calling me 'Roman's girl'. I shyly looked away and punched him softly on his arm. Dean chuckled.
'So, when you gonna stop avoiding my boy for whatever it was that he did yesterday at the Centre?' Dean grinned, clearly finding the situation amusing.
'Bye Dean' I said smiling and playfully crossing my arms, avoiding answering his question
He laughed. 'I'll see ya around Jenn.' He said, walking away.
I got in the elevator and when it arrived to my floor, I got out and walked to my door. I opened it and closed it behind me. My eyes fell on a huge bouquet of beautiful flowers that AJ was struggling to hold. Kaitlyn was holding a small cream- coloured card.
I grinned at AJ. 'You make another move on Punk or something, AJ? You must have given it to him good!' I said, walking over to them and gently taking the flowers from AJ to look at.
Kaitlyn and AJ looked at each other, weakly fighting the knowing grin on their faces. Oh for – here we go.
'Oh no,' AJ said mischievously. 'These aren't for me'.
My grin dropped.
Kaitlyn handed me the card giggling and my brows furrowed as I read it.
'I'm sorry for upsetting you yesterday, Jenn. I'd really like it if I could make it up to you… Meet me at Johnsons at 8pm?
Roman.'
My eyes widened as I looked up to AJ Kaitlyn. I was lost for words.
'W-wha-what?'
'Someone's got a date', AJ and Kaitlyn sang, holding hands and skipping around me.
Was this a date?
I couldn't even deny that it wasn't a date - hell, I couldn't even convince myself that it wasn't. I mean, could I even remember the last time I went on one?
'Aw, geez.'
A couple hours later
'Alright guys, I'm making my way, I shouldn't be too long' I said, grabbing my jacket, about to head to the door.
Kaitlyn looked up from the magazine she was reading.
'Excuse me?' She said in an offended tone, raising her perfectly-threaded eyebrow pointedly at my outfit.
What do you know? Vickie Guerreo would have had hot competition if Kaitlyn had shrieked.
'What?' I said, looking out my outfit.
I wore an old grey skater dress, black converses, tied my hair up in a messy bun with barely any makeup.
I didn't see the problem.
'Don't you dare tell me you're going to meet Roman Reigns like that,' Kaitlyn seethed, putting the magazine down, getting up from the couch and putting her hands on her hips.
AJ paid no attention at what was going on, her eyes glue to the screen as she played on her X-Box, Indian-style sat on the floor.
'What? I look fine!'
'It's a swanky restaurant you're going to, not Burger King! Oh, and did I mention, your date's with that hot piece of Samoan ass called Roman Reigns, you idiot! Dress like it!'
'I have!'
'No, you haven't!'
'Have!'
'Haven't!'
I turned to AJ desperately.
'Back me up here, AJ!'
AJ sighed and paused the game.
She looked at me and tapped her chin thoughtfully before shaking her head and wearing a demonic grin.
'Nah, I can have fun with this', before getting up and arming herself with an eye shadow palette.
Where she got it from only God knows.
I looked back at Kaitlyn who held a hair straightener threateningly as if it was a spear.
I sighed and my shoulders slanted.
'Oh boy.'
It was a warm but slightly cool and dark evening in town. Roman Reigns sat in his leather jacket, a grey t-shirt underneath. He looked at the watch on his wrist, wondering if the blushing beauty would even turn up as he sat in a quiet but busy and chatter-filled, chandelier lit restaurant. He had upset her the day before when she had a match with Seth and he wasn't sure why. Although, a lingering feeling told him it was the weird signals he was sending her. Sure he had flirted with her, but when he acted so possessive of her, she must've been thrown in a loop.
Upsetting her was the last thing he wanted to do. He had hoped the bouquet of flowers showed her how sincere he was being. He nearly bought all of the flowers from the store.
Roman then noticed a moving figure by the restaurant's entrance. His jaw dropped just slightly.
It was her.
And she looked beautiful.
Even more than usual, which he didn't think was possible.
Roman took in the appearance of the woman that was so close but so far from him. He saw her look around, look nervous even. She tucked a straying strand of dark brown behind her ear. Her dark wavy hair was pushed to one side, spilling over her shoulder; the ends were wisps of brown. She looked self-conscious in the cream crop top she was wearing, clearly not used to wearing such revealing pieces. Her neck was bare and he so badly wanted leave red marks on her creamy skin from sucking on it. The dark purple, high-waist long skirt that she was also wearing had a slit at the side, showing a peek of her long legs to those who dared to look. Simple black heels with a thin strap adorned her small feet. Her outfit accentuated her slim hourglass body. From her chest that was not too big, nor small; her small waist; her curved hips to her shapely ass that he so wanted to grab and keep his hands on.
She was perfect.
He waved his hand, trying to get her attention, a genuine smile on his face. Jenn finally saw his him, her grey-blue eyes falling on his face, a small smile on hers.
Roman stood up as she walked over, pulling out a chair for the shy woman before giving her a small hug and a kiss on the cheek. He didn't miss the way she blushed when he did this, enjoying the fact that she did.
Jenn's POV
I set my small, black clutch down on the table.
'You look beautiful.' Roman said to me, his eyes never once leaving me as he sat down.
'Thank you', I said, looking away, embarrassed with such attention. He looked so handsome, more than he did in the ring.
I cleared my throat.
'How've you been?' I asked, putting my face in my hand and trying not to look at him too appreciatively.
He really was a sight for sore eyes.
The corner of his mouth tugged upwards at my weak attempt to change the mood.
Roman suddenly bent down and handed me a bouquet of red and white roses.
'What's this for? I already have the huge bouquet at home, Reigns' I said grinning, looking at the flowers admiringly.
'They were apology flowers,' Roman said, chuckling. 'These, are flowers that every beautiful woman deserves to be given on a first date' he said, leaning forward, gazing at me with that charming smile.
'So this is a first date,' I said, also leaning forward tilting my head to the side, a small smile gracing my lips and my grey-blue eyes locked with his.
'Nothing more, nothing less.'
We held each other's' gaze and smiled, not wanting break it.
A waiter then interrupted us asking us what we wanted and we ordered. We both then went into stories about our childhood and he had a few funny ones that made me laugh to the point my ribs starting hurting, much to his pleasure. I had told him about how my father was Brazilian and mother Japanese and how they split up a while back. While I was close to my father's side of his family rather than himself, I was more in touch with my mother's side of the family. I still felt both Japanese and Brazilian though, despite how much of a contrast it was. I also told him how I could speak Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and parts of French which he found hot, (heh heh), but he was amused to no ends when I told him how I would struggle using chopsticks as a kid, stabbing my sushi with it instead of actually using it, especially since he was such an avid Sushi-eater.
We finished our food and while I insisted on paying half, he paid for it all; handing over many dollar bills like it was loose change. He said this was him treating me. I playfully rolled my eyes at this and we headed out.
We walked along a quieter part of town, where there wasn't many people and was close by a beach. He noticed when I absent-mindedly rubbed my arms from the cold and took off his jacket, gently throwing it over my shoulders.
'But what about you?' I protested, frowning. 'You'll be cold!'
'Ah, I can take it.' He reassured me in his deep voice, smiling at me.
We started to walk along the beach, the waves hitting each other. I carried my shoes in my hand, feeling the soft sand under my feet. We sat down, taking in the breath-taking appearance of the beach under the stars, just us alone, no one else. A cool breeze went by and I huddled my knees to my chest.
'So, I guess this is the part where I bring up yesterday at the performance centre.' Roman said, looking straight at me, leaning back.
I looked at him and blinked. 'You're a complex man, Reigns, I won't lie' I said, my eyes twinkling with amusement.
'It was like one minute you were casually flirting with me, and then the next you got possessive as soon as another man spoke to me or touched me, whether it be Randy or Seth.' I explained.
'You're a man that hits it then leaves, like Dean, aren't you?' He looked poked his tongue in his cheek, amused that I had kinda got it right without much to go on. But my following words would change the look in his eyes when I linked it to how I felt.
'You pursue a gal that gets your attention and as soon as you're done with her, you're gone. If you get bored of her, you turn your attention to someone else. I think you're attractive an' all but I'm not one of those girls, Roman. I didn't get you at all and I still don't' I said, my voice getting softer as Roman came edging closer to me.
'Is that really what you think?' Roman said in a low voice that gave me goose bumps, all and any amusement gone from his face.
I nodded slowly, not knowing what to expect from the man.
Next thing I knew, he grabbed my hips and placed me on his lap, so that my legs were on either sides of him. I was essentially straddling him. My hands were on his hard sculpted chest, the scent of his aftershave enticed me and his eyes pierced into mine. I was breathless by his actions and the feel of him under me.
'You had my attention the second you got up from that stool that night in the bar, baby girl. And that was the second I knew you were going to be mine and mine only. I'm not planning to share you with any deadbeat asshole, Haruno.' he stated, still looking me dead in the eyes.
'If you were just another girl to me, I wouldn't have asked you out tonight or given you those flowers and I would definitely be banging some other random girl right now.' He said, bringing his face closer to mine.
'Hell, girls don't even get a dinner date, they get a drink and a trip straight to the bedroom' he said, before cupping my face and kissing me.
It was chaste at first but then it got rough. I liked it. I responded back and my hands travelled to his hair, my fingers intertwined with it. He then started to place light butterfly kisses on my smooth neck and collarbone swiftly. His rough and large hands started to travel down, one on my thigh that had poked out of my skirt's slit and one cupping my ass. The feel of his lips on my skin made me melt in his hold. My hands went down and placed themselves on his strong shoulders to hold me up, I tried to hold back a sigh of relief as I threw my head back. But it was then when I felt a rock-hard and pretty big member poking my thigh through his jeans that pretty much told me how far this could go. I looked at him, my eyes were heavy-lidded with how heated things were becoming and pulled away from him. He looked up at me confused and I shook my head.
'I'm sorry, I don't know if I want to go there' I said murmured breathlessly.
He placed his forehead on my chest and breathed heavily, now knowing he had to hold back.
'Its fine baby, I'll wait as long as you need me to.'
My eyes softened at his words and understood what a big deal that was to him. Roman Reigns wasn't a man told to wait. He'd pursue, receive, leave and repeat.
I leaned my head against his and his hands went back to resting on my hips, before embracing me fully and burying his head in the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around his neck, taking in his captivating scent, wanting to stay like this forever.
A phone ringing interrupted our sweet moment.
Roman scowled when he realised it was his and I pulled away, giggling.
'It's Seth,' he growled before dismissing it and pulling me back; re-burying his head in the crook of my neck.
The phone rang again.
'I think you should pick up,' I said, my voice dripping with amusement. 'He might curb stomp you for rejecting his calls'
Roman's eyes met with mine, hands still on my back, eyes glinting and a grin on his face.
'So? I'll just spear the crap out of him.'
'I don't know Roman, Seth's pretty strong,' I sighed acting, drawing circles in his chest. 'I don't know if even you could take him on' I said playfully.
'Oh really?' Roman said, in on the joke and holding back his laughter.
'What if I demonstrate to you just how strong I am? I'll wrestle you little lady, right here, right now.' His grip on me became firmer as he dared and challenged me.
'Oh Roman, I wouldn't want to put you out injured when you're hitting it so high with The Shield.' I winked at him.
He chuckled and was about to kiss me again when Seth rang once more - Roman picked up this time.
'Dude. You, are one major cock block.' Roman said shaking his head as I covered my mouth to quieten my giggling. 'This better be worth it.'
Turns out, Dean was out of it last night and was picking fights with Seth. Not seriously but just really, really wanting to have a scuffle at the nightclub they were in.
I felt my cheeks warm up from the memories of last night. Roman and I were so close to… And on the beach too!
'Never knew you were so kinky, Jenn. Any other secrets we should know?' Kaitlyn teased, while lifting weights nearby us.
It was half ten in the morning and the girls and I had decided to go to the gym before taping for Smackdown.
Of course, being the great friends that they were, Kaitlyn and AJ stayed up until I came home from my date and didn't sleep until I told them what happened and if we made out.
So now I was being teased for almost getting it on with Roman on the beach.
'Who knew you had it in you… I'm surprised, J' grinned AJ as she done some stretches.
We all then sat on the mat in a triangle shape, taking a break and drinking water.
'So…' Kaitlyn inquired.
'What?'
'How big is he?'
I swear to God there is no name for the shade of dark red that my face turned.
My 'friends' were clearly enjoying this. Honestly, there must be a sign above my head saying 'tease relentlessly to the point of wanting to hibernate'.
That would be a long ass sign but still.
'I didn't see his freaking dick, Kaitlyn.' I said in a hushed and forced tone. Heaven take me if someone was to overhear our weird conversation.
'Okay, you felt it. How big did he feel?' Added AJ casually, leaning back.
'I'm not saying a word.'
'Oh my god, Roman Reigns has a small dick?!' AJ shrieked. Heads started to turn in our direction.
I immediately leapt up and clamped my hand over her mouth.
'What are you doing? Do you want me to die?' I almost screeched, pleading her to be quiet.
'And there's me thinking Samoan guys were huge. Y'know, big hands an' all' Kaitlyn said, deliberately louder than her usual tone.
'Dear God, not you too, Kaitlyn!'
AJ bit my hand, causing me to instantly take my hand away and wipe it on her shirt.
'Gross AJ, gross!'
'So, if his dick isn't that great, how come you was turned on?'
'I wasn't turned on, Kaitlyn!'
'Oh my god, Roman couldn't even turn you on?'
'I mean, he did! Aw, AJ just shut up!'
'So his dick is big?'
'I'm not discussing the size of a man's penis with you, Kaitlyn'
'So it is small!'
'It's not small!'
'Was the foreplay that bad sweety?'
'I'm not gonna talk to you about any foreplay, you raving nymph.'
'So let me get this straight: Roman Reigns couldn't turn you on, has a small dick and can't do foreplay.'
I'd had enough.
I stood up in facing the girls, my back to the entrance and my hands on my hips.
'First of all,' I growled. 'Roman has a dick that is far from small. I didn't need to see how big it was because I could feel how freaking huge it was. And as far as foreplay's concerned, he was so good at it that yes, I admit it, I was turned on. You happy now, you Fifty-shades addicts?'
I was so immersed in ranting that I hadn't noticed their grins being replaced by a look of shock. I figured it was from my outburst.
'They may not be so happy about that, but I sure as hell am.'
So... I had fun writing this chapter xD Hahaha
Review please! :)
