Getting to the back room, she was about to undress to shower when the door opened. Roman closed the door behind him and he leaned back against the wall.
"Hey", she said.
"Did you get in trouble with your boss?", he asked.
"No, he just wanted to talk to me about work. Promotions and stuff", she said.
He had forgotten about the offer Finn made her. She was leaving. He stood up and cleared his throat.
"We still on for dinner tonight?", he asked, wanting to change the subject.
"You mean you making me pizza. Yes we are", she said.
He smiled.
"I have everything ready in my kitchen, just waiting for you", she said.
She was going to leave soon. As soon as Hunter saw the proof they needed to get Antonio and Alberto, she was gone.
"I'll let you shower and change, see you out there", he said softly.
She walked over to him and grabbed his arm, stopping him.
"Are you ok? I feel like something's wrong and you need to talk", she said.
"I'm just glad you're ok", he said.
"You sure?", she asked.
He smiled and kissed her forehead.
"I'm good", he said.
She nodded and let him leave. Roman was walking down the hall towards his desk.
"Hey, have you seen Max?", Corey asked.
"She's showering, said she would be out in a minute", Roman said.
He nodded.
"What's with the face?", Corey asked.
"What do you mean?", he asked.
"You look sad", Corey said.
"I'm not", Roman said.
"I see the way you look at her man. I even think Balor sees it, because he looks at you like he's about ready to kill you", Corey said.
Roman nodded.
"He doesn't have anything to worry about", Roman said.
Roman left Corey standing there before he said anything else.
"Gentlemen, mind if I have a word with you four?", Hunter asked.
The guys followed him to Foley's office. Closing the door, he smiled.
"I just wanted to thank you for helping my team. We've spent five years trying to get Alberto and with your help, we've got him.", Hunter said.
"Don't thank us, Max and Baron did more of the work", Dean said.
"But they wouldn't have been able to do that without you four. I'm sure Max and Baron would say the same thing", Hunter said.
"Well thank you sir", Sami said.
"When will you move in on Del Rio?", Roman asked.
"By Sunday", Hunter said.
Roman nodded. That meant that he only had tonight with Max before she left with Finn.
"I've talked to your boss and you four have the rest of the day off. Enjoy it", Hunter said.
"Thank you", Seth said.
Max finished showering, walking into the meeting room to see Baron and Hunter around the table. Finn and Corey looking over plans.
"Glad you could finally join us Agent Garcia.", Hunter said.
"I had to get the stench of Antonio off of me", Max said.
They all laughed.
"Where's Zahra?", Max asked.
"Safe, starting over with her daughter", Hunter said.
"Good", she said.
"Now that we have what we need, we need to move in on both Del Rio and Cesaro", Baron said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Del Rio isn't back yet, but should be by late tonight", Max said.
"And we can't go after them separately, it has to be at the same time. If one finds out we went after the other, they'll run", Finn said.
"Baron and Max, your team will go after Del Rio. Finn and Corey, your team has Antonio", Hunter said.
"We do this tonight?", Max asked.
Hunter shook his head no.
"You've done a good job today, get some rest. Once the teams are ready, I'll send you a text", Hunter said.
They nodded. Max grabbed her bag. Excited for tonight.
"Any plans?", Baron asked, walking beside her.
"Yeah, actually I have a date, with Roman", she said smiling.
"Good for you Max, you deserve to be happy. He's a good man", Baron said.
"Thanks B", she said.
Getting home, she rushed to her room. Finding the outfit Nikki had picked out for her. A mini skirt and tank top. Brushing her hair and applying some make up. Hearing someone knock, she answered it. Roman stood there in a white t-shirt and jeans. His hair brushed back into a bun and he held out a case of beer.
"I hear beer goes great with pizza", he said smirking.
"Really?", she asked.
She moved aside for him to walk in. He looked around.
"Nice place", he said.
"Its home", she said.
He followed her into the kitchen and he set the beer in her fridge. She started pulling out what they would need for the pizza.
"So, I know I'm suppose to be the chef tonight, but I would love some help.", he said.
"You're lucky I'm in the helping mood", she said.
He set his hands on her hips and pulled her in.
"What kind of pizza do you like?", he asked.
"Pepperoni, Pineapple", she said.
"You've got it", he whispered.
He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. Tangling his free hand in her hair and deepening the kiss. Pressing her up against the counter. Someone cleared their throat, both pulling away. Brie and Nikki stood there, smirking. Max brushed her lips with her fingers and Roman licked his.
"We were just about to make pizzas", Max said, turning and pulling out the pan.
"Is that what the kids are calling it these days", Brie said.
Roman chuckled.
"Well don't forget to protect yourselves, you know, wear the mitt so you won't get burned", Nikki said.
Max was glaring at her sisters.
"You ladies are more than welcome to join us for dinner", Roman said.
"We would love too, but we've got dates", Brie said.
"And we'll probably be making pizzas with them, so", Max threw a towel at her sisters, who laughed.
Roman smiled and leaned against the counter.
"Ok we get it, we'll leave", Nikki said.
Max walked her sisters to the door. Brie pulled her in.
"Have hot, wild, and mind blowing sex with that guy. Don't let him leave here without it", Brie whispered, slapping her little sister's butt.
Max couldn't believe her sister just said that.
"We like him for you, you like him. Go for it Max", Nikki said.
"Be careful", Max said to them.
"We'll be with Dean and Seth, relax", Brie said.
Max nodded and closed the front door as her sisters walked onto the elevator with a wave. Getting back to the kitchen, Roman had the can of pineapple open and in a bowl. He was kneading the dough.
"Seth and Dean, good guys?", she asked.
Roman looked at her and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, they won't hurt your sisters. Honestly I've never seen either of them so infatuated, especially Dean.", Roman said.
Max nodded and turned on the stove.
"Is that who their going out with?", Roman asked, even though he already knew the answer to that.
She nodded.
"I promise, they would rather chop off their own hands than to lay a finger on a woman", Roman said.
Max turned to face him.
"That's not what I was talking about, although that's good to know. See, my sisters tend to fall for these guys who treat them like crap and I just don't want this time to be one of those times", she said.
He nodded understanding.
"I get it. Seth and Dean, have made mistakes but they've never done something on purpose to hurt a woman they like", he said.
She nodded. He opened the jar of sauce, the muscles on his arms flexing. Drool worthy moment. She wanted those arms wrapped around her, holding her while he made love to her.
She shook those thoughts away and focused on their second pizza.
