A/N: Thank for the love. Its appreicated very much.
Friday afternoon...
Roman got off early when everything he needed to do was done. Ryback was teaching him new supervisor roles every week and this week was no different. The order for Triple HHH's got done again early and that is what brings in the money for the company. Honestly, he loved his job. It helped him stay in shape with the lifting and pulling on the lumber on a daily basis. Truth be known, since he started, he put in a good set of muscles and at least 20 pounds on his body. He was proud of it too.
Roman let Dean know that he made plans for them for the weekend and to not plan anything. He wanted to show Dean that he really likes him a lot and hopes that this will turn into something more than just dating. But he is scared to death of how things will turn out. The last thing he needs is to fall flat with eggs on his face. He knows he can't beat a weekend at the cabin, but he hopes what he has in store will be just as unforgettable.
He got to his house and went in. He headed to his bedroom where he took off his shirt, shoes, and pants and through them in the hamper to be washed. Next, he took off his socks and tossed them in the hamper as well. All that was left was him in his blueish grey briefs he hated wearing. If he had his way, he wear nothing. He was excited and nervous at the same time. He feels like a teenager in high school trying to impress a girl that he has a crush on. Only, this is Dean. He went and sat on the bed and pulled out his phone and texted Dean.
Roman: Dean, I'm at home and getting ready for tonight. I need you to be ready by 6pm, which is in three hours. Is that doable?
Dean: I am still curious as to what you are up too, but I should be ready by then. Do I need to dress in any kind of way?
Roman: Wear a nice suit shirt and pants. I really like the light blue shirt/purple tie combo with your black slack pants and black shoes. No jacket.
Dean: Okay, I think I can do that. Still not going to tell me where we are going?
Roman: Nope, I'm not, just let me do this and show you a good time, okay?
Dean: The suspense is killing me Roman, I don't like surprises...
Roman frowned, maybe he shouldn't do this then. He doesn't want to make this evening bad with Dean. Before he could respond, Dean texted him again.
Dean: I'm sorry, I know you have been wanting to do this with me, I'll trust you to make it a good one for me :)
Roman suddenly smiled, he put so much work into tonight that he wants everything to be perfect. He hits reply and sends Dean on last text.
Roman: It's okay, if anything, I'm nervous, I've haven't done this since high school, so I'm hoping it's not a big flop. So I will be ready in three hours, so don't keep me waiting after that. :)
Dean: I won't, can't wait to see how this turns out. See you soon! :)
Roman smiles as he puts his phone down. He goes to the closet and picks out the perfect outfit: The purple shirt with the light blue tie combo and a pair of black slacks, socks and shoes, then lays them on the bed and heads to the bathroom to take a shower and get cleaned up. Yes it is three hours away, but he wanted to look his best. He just wants everything to be perfect. "I just hope nothing goes wrong. I have to thank Tyler for helping me set this up, because I couldn't have done this on my own." He mumbles to himself as he strips his briefs off and steps into the shower.

Dean, after sending that last text, decided to lay down and take a quick nap, he set his alarm for 5 pm, so that would leave him an hour to get ready and head out over to Roman's place. He is looking forward to what Roman has in store for him. Before he falls asleep, he lays there and sometimes he thinks of how Sami use to surprise him when they first started dating. In the beginning, it was so good. The sex was incredible even though they waited two months before they did it for the first time. Here, its past that with Roman and him. Yes, they have gotten as far as sucking each other off, but that is as far as it has gone right now. Him and Sami have always thought they would be forever, the night he found him with Kevin damn near killed him. He tried to date again after meeting Seth, but he never found anyone that could keen his interest. One did come close, but he didn't last, just the candle burned too quickly. Then another few years go by and then there is Roman, whom he found being beaten that night in Bahamas. It was like fate played a part in this. He's been lonely too long and wanted to share this with someone whom he would spend the rest of his life with. He is just scared of being so fucking hurt again. Sami damn near killed his spirit and he didnt' think he would recover from that. Deep down, he realizes he loved Sami , and maybe to a degree he still does.
"What the fuck am I gonna do? Where are these feelings coming from? I haven't thought of Sami in a long time. Why the fuck do I care about him still?" He says to himself as he rubs his face with his hands. He knows that he should be thinking about Roman and their date he has planned, but somehow Sami has somehow snuck into his mind. But why? Is he trying to compare Sami to Roman? If so, why? He is so attracted to Roman, loves the way he kisses him, touches him, hugs him, so why is Sami invading his mind now?
Dean groans as he rolls over and grabs a pillow to hold on too. He doesn't need this right now, he needs to clear his mind and think of what Roman has planned for tonight. He looks at the clock, it reads 3:35pm, still enough time to catch a short nap before getting ready. He closes his eyes and drifts off to a fitful sleep.

6 o'clock rolls around and no sign of Dean yet. Roman got fully dressed and ready to go by 5:30. He has his hair slicked back into a ponytail with his goatee neatly trimmed and beard shaved off. He has his purple shirt with the blue tie on along with his black slacks, socks and very shiny shoes that he spent an hour on to look good. He wanted to match Dean with the color coordination. He looks out the window and still no sigh of Dean. He texted him to see if he was ready. Nothing yet, so he waited another few minutes. After that, still nothing. He looks outside and sees the limo waiting so he texted Dean again and tells him that he will just meet him at the Lunatic Lounge since he was running late. Usually Dean isn't late, so hopefully he is just finishing up, he just wants to get there and make sure everything is in order.
Roman looks around, makes sure he has everything he needs. Satified that he does, he opens the door and heads out towards the limo. He just hopes he meets Dean there soon.
Several hours later, Dean wakes up, sees that its almost 8 and instantly jumps out of the bed, pissed off and looking at his phone, his alarm went off but never heard it, along with 15 missed messages and 3 missed calls..."What the fuck? How it is almost 8pm? Oh God, Roman has got to be pissed off!" He tells himself. He hits reply and texted Roman...
Dean: Roman, I am so sorry! Myt alarm somehow didn't go off! He texted, knowing he just lied so that it didn't sound stupid as not hearing his alarm going off. I can still make it! Just give me about 20 minutes and I'll be there!
He hits send and heads to the bathroom. He gets into a shower as the text from Roman hits his phone.
Roman: Don't bother coming anymore...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Roman being pissed off was an understatement. He got there, led downstairs by Tyler to where the private room was set up. It was a great set up...a table with two chairs, a rose in the middle, and two glasses for wine he has ordered. Randy let Finn help Roman by serving him his food and drink. The DJ, a kid named Kenny, was getting the music Roman picked out ready to go.
He looked at his watch, it was already 6:20 and still no sign of Dean, so he texted him to see if he was okay. Nothing. About 10 minutes later, he texted again. Again, nothing. He looks over at Tyler, looking kinda sad at the moment...
"He'll be here, he would be stupid to not show up Roman. Give him a few more minutes."
"Just not like him Tyler, he is usually on time for anything. As long as I've known him, which hasnt' been very long I might add, he's never been late. So this is unusual and it worries me."
"Okay, before you panic, give him 5 more minutes and then call him, okay?" Tyler said as he pats Roman on the shoulders to let him know he was there if he needed him. "I'm sure he just wants to look extra good tonight for you. You know you can't rush perfection!"
Roman chuckles softly as he pulls out his phone again. 6:47 and still no Dean, no messages back. So he picked up the phone and dials his number. After 5 rings, it goes to voicemail. He leave a message and then hangs up. He goes to sit down and waits for Dean...
By close to 7:30, he knew he's been stood up. After texting him for the last hour and calling him and getting no answer, he figured that maybe Dean changed his mind. Tyler looks at him and sees the angry face he hadn't seen since high school and it worried him. Even Finn looked at him with sympathy.
"Hey, maybe Dean got caught up in something and hasn't been able to get back to you, huh?" He really tried to make this a positive thing for Roman. Maybe calming him down some before he blew up.
"Don't fucking make excuses for him. He knows damn well where we are at and he has my fucking phone number." Roman said harshly, making Tyler wince back some. Even Finn moved back so that he wouldnt' get hit somehow. The look on Roman wasn't pleasant at all. "I'm sorry Tyler, I shouldn't take it out on you, not your fault. I am just sorry that you and Kenny and Finn had to go through this. I will make sure you guys are still paid for your time here. Think it's time for me to head back home and just do some massive thinking alone."
"Hey man..." Kenny piped up, "Don't worry about paying me, I won't take your money since I didn't do the job. That's not how I roll, okay?" Kenny smiled as he said that, knowing Roman wasn't in a good mood. He started putting the turntables down and getting his equipments together.
"Kenny, at least let me pay you a tip, just for showing up, cause I know you had to cancel one of your gigs for this special date I had planned, please?"
"Okay, fine, but not in the amount of the whole evening, okay?"
Roman nods as he pulls out his wallet and pays him $100, a fraction of what it should have been. After Kenny takes the money, Roman turns around and hands both Finn and Tyler $100 each for their time. They relunctly take the money as Roman puts the rest away.
"I'm out of here guys, thanks for at least trying for me. I am just sorry that it didn't happen like I wanted." Roman sounded sad now that the anger past for a bit. He knew this was too good to be true, he just wanted to show that he can love someone, but now, it seems like that will never happen.
Both Tyler and Finn hugged him and told him it would be okay. He smiles weakily as he turns around and heads up the stairs to the limo. As he got in, his phone goes off, it's Dean, bringing back the anger he had in the first place. Saying he was sorry and that he overslept and that he would be ready in 20 minutes. He simply told him don't bother coming.
He turns off his phone and puts it back in his pocket. He tells the limo driver to take him to a bar since he didn't feel like going home at the moment. After what he went through just now, he needed some way to get rid of the emotions he was feeling. He just knows that his time with Dean is over before it ever really got started.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dean got out of the shower and was running around trying to get ready. He picks up the phone and sees a text from Roman, he heart sank as he reads what he read. He texted back to see if he got a responds. After a few minutes, nothing. He sat on the bed, upset that he didnt' hear his phone go off. He should have never took that nap. Roman was looking so forward to this evening with Dean and Dean fucked it up. He takes a deep breath and then tries to call Roman's phone. It rings once and goes straight to voicemail...
Roman, please call me back. I am so sorry for missing this, I really am, please forgive me, please call me back as soon as you get this message. Please, I...I...I am so sorry for messing up your plans tonight...just please call me back...
He sound desperate, but fuck, he didnt' care at the moment. He needed to talk to Roman and let him know how sorry he was for missing what could have been a great evening. He rubs his face as he opens his phone again and pulls up Seth's number, he needed to find a way to make this up to Roman, and soon. Thinking about Sami earlier didn't help either, and he is STILL trying to figure out that one.
He hits the number of Seth and listened to it ring. Rang twice before Seth answered the phone.
"Hey Dean, what's up, thought you were with Roman?"
"Seth, man, I think I just royally fucked up...and I need your help..."
A/N: Let me know what you think. :)
