It all happened in a blur Seth and Dean grabbed Roman while Baron Corbin and Sami Zayn helped hold Finn back . Olivia was literally left standing in the middle of them "What's your problem man?" Finn roared at Roman. Seth and Dean relaxed their grip on Roman who looked a little calmer. "you are , that dude was all over her and you just let it happen . Are you fucking kidding me?". There were murmurs from the crowd as this news set in. Finn looked around " Olivia , I'm not sure what Roman here thinks he saw but this is bullshit". This time Seth stepped forward , aggressively "I saw you too man , you looked over when that guy was touching her up and you looked away again because you were too busy flirting to look after your girlfriend". Olivia looked at Seth and then at Roman and she realised that they hadn't made any of that up. "Did that happen?" She asked Finn. He looked around noticing the looks of disgust that were thrown at him. "Can we talk about this in private?". Roman went to step forward and interject but she put up a hand which stopped him in his tracks . "Ok" she said .
They went to another corner and by the time she got there Olivia was drained both from the confrontation and the feelings swirling around her mind. "Look Olivia that was a bit too intense for me there , I mean Roman totally over reacted and yeah I did look over but I thought you could handle it.". Olivia looked at him "It was intense for you , how do you think I felt?". He sighed loudly. "I can't do this , the need to define what type of relationship we are in, the over protective male friends, the pressure. I don't know , maybe we should just like cool it or take a break or something. It's becoming too needy for me". She was gobsmacked , she looked at him and suddenly she began to laugh "You know what Finn , I think you're right let's take a break , a permanent one". She got up to leave and he stood "it's for the best" he said gravely before patting her on the shoulder and leaving.
Finn did the gentlemanly thing and left the party , she waited till he had left before going to the ladies room to freshen up. She wasn't upset she realised , she was something else , relieved. When Olivia got back to the party she went straight to the bar to where Seth was standing with Roman. Both men turned concerned "Doc are you ok, what happened?" . Seth asked. "Guess I don't have a boyfriend anymore". She smiled broadly at them both , Roman automatically had put a hand on her shoulder , she looked at him dead in the face and said "I'm too needy" . They couldn't help it , all three of them broke down in laughter. "Well his loss , let's take a shot" Seth said and he turned to get the bartenders attention. When Seth was out of earshot Roman turned to her "So are you mad at me for punching him?". Olivia smiled "No, I think that was probably single handedly the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me". He looked confused "I just stepped in front of a dude who was groping you and punched out the guy that watched it happen , I can't see anything nice about that. Like nothing at all". She stepped towards him and allowed the tears to come on for a second "no you don't understand I think that was the first time in my life that I felt truly safe. I knew when I se you that everything was going to be ok". A wave of emotions passed through Romans eyes. "Woman you are going to have to stop that , I'm too tough to be getting emotional I have a rep remember". She looked at him again and at an approaching Seth "You're not so tough Reigns , sometimes you're actually quite cute". He beamed at her "Hey now less of that talk.
Olivia drank more than she should have , it was like she was liberated. She spent the night dancing energetically with everyone, and pounding shots at the bar with Roman. They had such fun together talking and laughing and for the first time in months actually enjoying themselves. As the nights wore on and people began to leave Olivia didn't take much notice and pretty soon she was kissing Renee goodbye and hugging Dean. When she turned the music was still going but it was just her the barman and Roman left. She went over to the couch where he was sitting and sat down next to him. His arm was thrown across the back of the chair and she settled back against it . "How wasted exactly are we?". " I mean I'm about a 5 and you are verging on an 8 out of ten" Roman teased. She punched his arm playfully. "I'll tell you one thing though girl you were throwing down those moves earlier. I mean damn". Olivia looked at him with playful eyes "Roman Reigns were you looking ?" . She loved this playful Roman "You wear a skirt like that , you're damn sure I'm looking". He lay his head back on the couch and she laughed. Olivia looked at her bare legs "It's too slutty isn't it. I knew I shouldn't have worn it" Roman placed his hand on hers "Olivia I'm just playing you are the absolute opposite of a slut. You have the body don't be afraid to show it. I enjoyed the view". She rolled her eyes at his cheeky smile.
"Well when you weren't looking at me it seemed like you were having a good time tonight. I like seeing you smile". He rewarded her with another one of them "Yeah it was cool to cut loose". Their eyes met and she waited while he looked at her "what?" She asked when he refused to look away. "Your eyes, they are such an unusual colour , I don't think I have seen that shade before". Olivia felt a wave of nervousness wash over her as she began to feel hot under his gaze. "Oh please , thank you for the compliment but I don't think I am quite in Adonis league yet". Roman looked at her "Even Adonis struggles to keep a woman . I mean look what happened with Galina.". Olivia struggled with this, Roman was so confident and proud and strong that she could never picture him being insecure "Well it's her loss, she had a gorgeous man who loved her and she let that go. I'm going to throw this back at you now. You deserve to be with someone who knows how great you are". His eyes softened "Same goes for Balor. Guys will be lining up to date you don't worry". Olivia contemplated this "You know what Ro? I don't even want to think about dating right now. I just want to concentrate on me for a bit". She sat back again on the chair and Roman didn't bother moving the arm that was laying across the back of where she was sitting."I hear ya , don't bust my balls but I am reading one of these like books and it says that when it comes to starting over you should do one thing each week that you have never done before it's to challenge yourself to move out of the comfort zone and to try new things". Olivia loved the sound of that "That's so cool I would love to do that. Let's do it together no matter what it is". Roman sat up and shook her hand . "Deal, come on let's get out of here , I got a sweet room again this one has an even better bar"
They both felt like they had a new lease of life when they got back to the hotel, Roman put on some music and Olivia hovered uncertainly at the doorway when he came back out in sweats. "You ok?". "This skirt is not comfortable at all, it's built for the club not for hotel room bars". "Wait a minute" said Roman and he went back to his room, he came back with shorts and a Roman Reigns tshirt. Olivia raised an eyebrow at him "Oh my god a Roman Reigns tshirt will you sign it for me?" She fangirled sarcastically. He came in a bit closer and reached out and touched her lips with his fingers "How about you shut those and go in there and take off that slutty skirt" she went to punch him playfully but he jumped out of the way. In the room she undressed quickly and put on the clothes the t shirt was so comfy and she was glad to be able to relax. When she came back out Roman had poured them both a drink "It looks good on you". She smiled shyly at him . "Let's sit". They sat on the couch of the living area and Roman turned on the television. There was a movie on and they settled down to watch it. When Olivia shivered a little Roman grabbed a blanket and put it over them both. Before she knew it her eyes were beginning to droop. She looked at Roman who was yawning too " I better go". "You can stay if you like there's plenty of room" he said through another yawn. "Ok" she said tiredly and she went to put her head on the couch she left her legs tucked up. Roman automatically stood up. He went to go into his own room but before he did he came over and crouched down to where she was lying. "Good night" he said and he leaned in and kissed her on the forehead. She was asleep before he even left the room.
