*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter. They were greatly appreciated. Thank-you all so much*
I pick Briana up for our double date with Dean and Rachel from her house. I'm not even sure why I'm doing this double date thing. I couldn't care less if Dean and Rachel chose to date. That's their prerogative. I moved onto Briana so Rachel really is an afterthought. If she feels Dean is the best person for her then more power to her. "Hey," I say as Briana gets into my car.
"Hey," she says with a smile as she leans in to give me a kiss. I kiss her back softly. "So where are we going tonight?"
"Dean and Rachel want to go to some sushi place. Do you like sushi?" I ask before I back out of the driveway as she takes my hand into hers. I smile at her as I start to drive down the road.
"I love it," she says with a smile as she looks at me.
"My kind of girl. I love it too," I say with a smile.
"I know," she says, "Sky told me and I have seen your Twitter."
"So you've researched me?"
"Maybe," she says with a smile. "I've just actually looked at your Twitter and checked out a couple bios on you but that's about it. I even Wikipedia'd you."
"Well, you know half of those internet sites are lies and Wikipedia isn't a reliable source. The most reliable source you'll ever have is me," I say with a smile. I hate the internet. I hate internet sites where they get stories twisted and mix up my history. You can never really trust what you read on the internet. Most of it is lies. "But you can trust my Twitter too because that's really me. If you ever see me with an Instagram or a Facebook you're being tricked. I only have Twitter."
"Good to know," she says, "so what made Rachel want to have this double date?"
"I have no idea," I say, "I think it was Dean's idea. I'm not really sure."
"I don't' like Rachel," she says.
"Rachel can be a bit much at first but trust me she is a nice girl. And she is the mother of my future child."
"I know that but does she have to move in with you? I just don't think that's a good idea. I think she's trying to trick you or something. I just don't' like the idea of her moving into your house."
"It's a good thing I didn't ask you," I say. I know it comes off as an asshole statement but I didn't ask her what she thought. I am doing what I am doing for Sky and for my baby. I'm not doing it for her and the fact we aren't together I don't really think she has room to talk about it. And if she wants to be with me she's going to need to accept it. "I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be an ass it's just Rachel is still a friend of mine and she is the mother of one of my children and she is like a mother to Sky. She is always going to be in my life and she is always going to be around. If you want to be with me you're going to need to accept that."
"I know," she says as she lets go of my hand and looks out the window. "I'm just saying I don't like it."
"I'm sure she doesn't like me with you but she's tolerating it."
"I'm sure she doesn't also," she says with so much attitude I almost want to leave her on the side of the road and go back home to my daughter. Tonight is bound to be a fun time.
The rest of the car ride was done in silence as neither of us really spoke to the other. I was feeling horrible for the way I had talked to her but I was feeling stressed from everything going on. I pull into a parking space and see that Dean and Rachel are already here. Briana and I get out of the car and walk to the door. Before I open the door for her I say, "Look, Bri, I'm sorry about what I said in the car. I am just really stressed out with work, Sky having appendicitis and me having a baby. It's just really tough for me. I'm sorry."
"It's okay," she says with a smile as she looks up at me. "I forgive you," she says before she leans up and kisses my lips softly. I kiss her lips back with a smile. I hold the door open for her and follow her in and watch her as she walks in front of me wearing a black short sleeve dress that hugs tightly to her body showing off her curves. Her dark hair is pulled up into a tight bun and her legs are bare and she is wearing a pair of black heels. She is gorgeous. She takes my hand as we walk to the table we are sharing with Dean and Rachel. My eyes grow big when we find them. I see Rachel wearing a black spaghetti strap dress where her growing breasts are pretty much exposed. She smiles up at us with her blue eyes sparkling and her dark hair braided over to the side. She is glowing. I don't think I have ever seen her look sexier in my life. Briana elbows me as my eyes are stuck on Rachel.
"It's about time you two showed up," says Dean as he is in his usual beater and jeans. "I thought you two chickened out on us."
"No," I say as Briana lays her purse down on the table next to her. "We were just having a small talk and plus Sky was giving me a hard time about leaving. She didn't want me to go out on a date again."
"I don't blame her," says Rachel under her breath but loud enough that I could hear her. I give her a look and she looks back at me as our eyes meet. She is so beautiful it makes me wonder what our baby girl is going to look like. We're both pretty good looking people so we are destined to make one beautiful baby. I know it's a bit conceited but it's true.
"Sorry," I say with a smile. "So is the sushi on its way?"
"Yeah," says Rachel. "We already knew what you wanted we assumed Briana would have whatever you had," she says giving Briana a look as Briana gives one back to her. Briana takes my hand and holds it in hers. Rachel looks at our hands and takes Dean's hand into hers. Dean looks shocked at first but smiles as he intertwines their fingers. I do the same with Briana. I feel her smile at me. "So Briana," says Rachel. "What do you do for a living?"
"You know I was Sky's teacher," says Briana. "You have seen me numerous times."
"I know," says Rachel, "I was just checking."
"No offense," says Dean, "but you're one of the hottest teachers I have ever seen. Why couldn't teachers look like you when I was younger?"
"Thanks," she says with a smile.
"I know right," I say with a smile. "When I was a kid all my teachers were ugly nothing like Briana." She squeezes my hand in appreciation of my comment.
"So I'm sure you're not making much being a teacher are you?" asks Rachel as if she is trying to get to a point.
"I make enough to survive," she says. "What do you do?" she asks.
"I am a therapist," she answers, "there's a lot of money in that."
"Yeah because you wipe people clean with your high prices. If you guys truly cared about mental health issues you wouldn't charge so much for one session."
"I love being a therapist," she says. "I like to help people and you know what else I have learned from being a therapist?"
"What?" asked Briana if she couldn't care less.
"I have learned how to read people and learned to read if they're being completely genuine or if they have hidden agendas."
"That's good for you," says Briana as they bring the sushi to the table to grill it in front of us. I am relieved because things were getting awkward for a minute there. It was like Rachel was trying to tear Briana apart. While they were grilling the sushi in front of us no one really spoke a word to each other. We just watched the beauty of it all. I love watching what they do.
When they finished we clapped for them before we got our sushi. I hand Briana a pair of chopsticks for her to eat her food with. "So Briana, have you ever had sushi before?"
"Yes," she says as she looks at the chopsticks. "What are these for?"
"They are to eat with," I say. "I thought you had sushi before?"
"I never used chopsticks before," she says with embarrassment as Rachel looks at us with a smirk.
"Why are you smirking? You shouldn't even be having sushi. You're pregnant."
"It's cooked," she says, "if it was raw it would be a different story."
"Anyway," I say. "It's real simple. You just do this," I say demonstrating how to eat with chopsticks.
"Okay, I got it," she says with a smile as she opens her chopsticks to eat with. She does pretty well with them. "This is delicious."
"I know," I say with a smile as I eat some sushi.
"So, Briana, do you live in an apartment or a house?" asks Rachel as she eats.
"I live at home with my mom," she answers.
"You live with your mom? How old are you?"
"I am 24 years old," she says, "but my mom is wheel chair bound."
"I'm sorry I didn't know," she says, "what's wrong with her?"
"She has a muscle disease that has her bound to a wheelchair. I'm the only person she really has to take care of her."
"That's nice of you. I bet that gets expensive," she says.
"Rachel," I say with a warning look.
"No, Roman," says Briana. "It's fine. She obviously thinks I am after your money. For the record I'm not and yes taking care of my mom can get expensive but we get by. I don't' know why you're so worried about it. You're the one that's moving in with Roman and having his baby but yet you aren't with him. Maybe you're the one trying to take his money."
"Ladies," I say, "no one is getting any of my money. The only two girls in this world getting money from me are Sky and my soon to be daughter. I am not a piggy bank."
"I know," says Briana as she leans up against me.
"And I don't need Roman's money," says Rachel, "and he asked me to move in with him. I live in my own house with my own money. I think I'm all right."
"Can we just drop this conversation?" I ask as I wrap my arm around Briana. I can tell she's upset.
"Okay," says Rachel, "I'll drop it. So Briana," she says as she moves closer to Dean and I see what she's doing. I watch as Dean wraps his arm around Rachel's shoulders. "Do you watch wrestling?"
"Yes," she says. "I have been a fan since I was a little girl. I was a huge fan of The Shield when they debuted but when they branched off on their own I became a bigger fan of Roman."
"It's always Roman," says Dean as he shakes his head. "It's always Roman."
"You're pretty good too," says Briana. "I love your promos. I always love to hear what you're going to say. You play your unstable character well. It's the best part of the show."
"Thanks," he says with a smile as I shake my head. Dean may be one of the cockiest guys I have ever met. Cockier than me by far and I'm pretty cocky. I won't deny that. "I try my best."
"You are awesome," she says with a smile. "But Roman is probably the sexiest guy on the roster."
"I can't deny that," I say.
"And those lips," she says. "I love your lips. I just want to kiss them."
"You can anytime you want," I say with a smile as I lean down and kiss her lips softly. I look over at Rachel and she has leaned in to kiss Dean's lips also. I turn my attention back to Briana and kiss her lips again as I am sure Rachel has done the same with Dean. She is trying to make me jealous but it's not working. I feel Briana's hand on my thigh. I feel her move her hand up closer to my manhood. I smile and whisper into her ear. "Not right now. Later."
"I plan on it," she says as she whispers back to me.
I feel Rachel kick me under the table and I look at her. "My foot slipped sorry," she says.
"I'm sure," I say.
"So Briana, how do you feel about Roman having a daughter and another one on the way? Does that scare you at all?"
"No," she says, "I obviously love kids. I am a teacher. Kids are awesome. I love Sky and I can't wait to see Roman's new baby."
"Mine and Roman's baby," she says. "And how do you know I want you around her?"
"I don't think it's just up to you," says Briana. It's clear that Rachel is jealous of Briana but I'm not sure what Briana's deal is with Rachel. She has a lot of anger toward her for no reason. "I mean I want to be in Roman's life and I want more than a few dates," she says as I choke on my water. I was not expecting that to be said. "And if I am in Roman's life I'm going to be around both Sky and the baby."
"We'll see," says Rachel. "Roman doesn't last long in a relationship."
"If people lie to me and trick me of course I don't last long in a relationship," I say, "I think you know what I'm talking about."
"I didn't trick you," she says, "it just happened. Now we're dealing with it."
"Yeah we are dealing with it," I say.
"Why is everything so hostile?" asks Dean. "Can't we all just get along? I mean look at all of you fighting and acting up. Just relax."
"I am with Dean," I say. "we're supposed to be having fun not accusing each other of lying or trickery. Thanks, Dean."
"You're welcome," he says with a smile as Rachel clings to his arm. I pull Briana closer to me and kiss the top of her head. I am on to Rachel's game and I am going to play along with her. I watch as Rachel turns Dean's head to face her and watch her as she kisses him passionately. Dean doesn't fight her off and kisses her back. It's almost uncomfortable to watch. I look over at Briana and press my lips against hers as I kiss her passionately as I feel her hands slide up my shirt. I feel her soft hands on my chest and I want nothing more than to take her right there in that restaurant but I control myself.
I break my kiss with Briana and say, "I think we're going to go. It's been a great night. You two have fun." I lay my portion of the money down on the table. They don't break their kiss at all so I take Briana's hand and leave with her to go back to her house. I don't know how I am feeling as I am driving the car. Briana can't leave her hands off of me as I drive. I have so many emotions running through my body as Briana unbuckles my belt and unzips my pants. I gasp as I feel her hands on my manhood. I moan as she rubs it and strokes it gently with her soft hands. I am completely shocked when she takes it into her mouth and begins to suck me softly and gently. I can honestly say a woman has NEVER done that to me before while I was driving and I kind of like it. Briana is a different kind of woman. She might actually be the best thing for me at this point but I just can't take my mind off Rachel kissing Dean at the restaurant as I feel Briana take me deeper. No matter what she's doing to me my mind remains on Dean and Rachel. As I pull into Briana's driveway I feel myself explode in her mouth as I groan out in pleasure as my release fills her mouth and shoots down her throat.
After I finish my release I get myself together as she does the same before we go into her house. Surprisingly enough when we get inside her mom isn't awake again. This makes what is about to happen a lot easier. Briana and I waste no time getting upstairs to her bedroom. She shuts the door behind us and we quickly remove our clothes. I am ready to go and she is ready for me as she lays on her bed. I search my pockets for a condom but don't have one. "Shit," I say. "I don't have a condom."
"I have some in my drawer," she says as she opens the drawer and tosses me a condom. "Put it on quick," she says.
"Thanks," I say as I quickly put it on. I waste no time making my way over to her. I lay my body on top of hers as I thrust into her. She smiles at me as she feels me inside of her. I start to rock in and out. It's much like we did earlier in the day but better. I move harder and faster and as she reaches her climax I reach mine just as I feel it; the condom broke during my release. I tried to pull out but it was too late. I was releasing myself deep inside of her. I can't believe the freakin' condom broke. I don't have any luck obviously. As I finished my release I quickly removed myself from her. "Shit," I say.
"What?" she asks as she sits up with me.
"The condom broke."
"It broke?" she asks. "How?"
"I don't know. It just broke. I can't have another baby," I say. "I'm going to get you Plan B."
"You don't have to do that," she says, "I told you I am on the pill."
"I don't care. I am not having another baby. My hands are full. I'll be back," I say as I get up to get myself dressed so I can go to the drug store to get Plan B. She will NOT get pregnant on my watch. Not at all.
"Roman," she says, "you don't have to do that."
"I do and I am. I'll be back."
"All right," she says. "I'll be here."
I make my trip to the drug store quickly and pick up Plan B. The lady behind the counter looks at me as if she has never sold Plan B to anyone in her life. I thank her and leave the store. I never realized it was so expensive. The price of preventing an unexpected pregnancy is ridiculous. I arrive back at her house. She lets me in and I hand her the box. "Take it," I say. "Take it now."
"Roman," she says, "aren't you being paranoid?"
"Nope," I say. "I'm not being paranoid. Just take it."
"Fine," she says as she looks at the instructions. I make sure I am there to watch her take it.
"The sooner you take it the better," I say as I watch her fill up a glass of water.
She pops the pill into her mouth and takes it. "Happy?" she asks.
"Yes," I say as I wrap my arms around her. "I am happy and you know why?"
"Why?" she asks.
"Because I don't want to have another baby right now. I think I have my hands full with Sky and the baby that's on the way. I don't want another unplanned pregnancy hanging over my head. I don't' want that to be how we start."
"How we start?" she asks looking up at me.
"Yes how we start," I say with a smile.
"What are you saying?" she asks with a smile as her dark brown eyes look at me.
"I'm saying I am going to give this relationship thing with you a try. I don't' know what it is about you, Briana but I am just so attracted to you. I really don't know what it is and I like you. I want to get to know you and I want to be with you. I want more than just a date here and there and some amazing sex. I want to be with you."
"So are you saying we're in a relationship now?"
"Only if you want to be," I say with a smile.
"You know I do," she says with a smile.
"Good," I say with a smile before I lean down and kiss her lips softly. I am not sure why I jumped into a relationship with her so fast. It took me years to get into a relationship with Rachel. I am confused by my own actions but I just want to be with Briana. "All right," I say as our kiss breaks. "I have to go but I will call you tomorrow."
"All right," she says with a smile before she kisses me one more time. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," I say with a smile before I leave to head home.
When I arrive home I see that Dean and Rachel are both at the house and my mom is just leaving. "How was your date?" she asks me as I make my way to the front porch and pass her.
"It was good," I say, "is Dean here with Sky?"
"Him and Rachel," she says, "I will never understand your situations. I thought Rachel was having your baby? Why are you with someone else and she's with Dean?"
"It's complicated," I say with a smile. "Thanks for watching Sky."
"No problem. She's inside watching Frozen with Dean and Rachel."
"Why am I not surprised?"
"Because she watches it a thousand times a day," says my mom. "Goodnight, Roman."
"Goodnight," I say as I give her a hug.
I walk into the living room to see Rachel sitting on the couch with Sky and Dean sitting on the chair intently watching Frozen. I just don't believe it. "DADDY!" yells Sky as I walk over to give her a hug.
"Hey, Princess," I say with a smile as I kiss the top of her head. "I have something to tell you."
"What?" she asked.
"Briana and I are now in a relationship," I say.
"That's cool," she says but she makes a face. It is one I have never seen her make before. "That's really cool, Daddy." I don't know what to think of it. I have no idea how she feels about it but I don't think she's happy about it.
"You're in a relationship with Briana?" asks Rachel. "That was fast. Say goodbye to your bank account."
"Would you stop with that?" I ask. "She isn't after my money."
"She has you right where she wants you. Don't say I didn't warn you. What other woman would be after a wrestler that is a single father, has a baby on the way and the baby's mother is moving in with him? Only a gold digger please, Roman. I know I am not the best person to judge another one but I do care about you. I care about Sky. I don't' want to see you get hurt. All the red flags are there please just see them. Please. Please break it off. You don't want to get involved with her."
"It's too late," I say. "I already made a relationship with her."
"Roman," she says as Dean looks at me.
"Roman, she's right. I can see it in her eyes. She is a gold digger," says Dean. "You don't' want to be involved with her."
"Guys, it's my life I can do what I want," I say.
Rachel shakes her head, "I know you're stubborn you're going to do what you want but just think about Sky and think about the baby."
"I don't know why you're talking. You're the one that tricked me into getting you pregnant. I'm going to bed. Sky, it's time for bed."
"I don't want to go to bed," she says.
"It's bed time," I say. "Let's go," I say as I pick her up off the couch. "It's bed time. Goodnight, Dean and Rachel."
"Goodnight," they say together as I carry Sky up to her room to put her to bed. I have had enough of people trying to tell me what to do with my life. I like Briana and if I want to be with her I am going to be with her. There is no way she is after my money. NO way at all. I don't believe it.
*A/N: So what a mess right? Do you believe Rachel and Roman were playing a game with each other in the restaurant to see who could get under each other's skin? Do you feel that Briana and Dean are a pawn in whatever game they have going on? And what about Rachel she was in full attack mode on Briana. Do you believe she was jealous or just reading her like she has a hidden agenda? What about the condom breaking at Briana's house? What were your thoughts there? Thank Goodness Roman made her take Plan B. That was a smart decision right? Now they are in a relationship! Is Roman trying to cover up the hurt from what happened with Rachel, make rachel jealous or does he truly care about Briana? Sky didnt' seem happy about her dad getting into a relationship with Briana. What do you think her problem is? One last question is Roman in denial about Briana or does he truly believe she isn't after his money? What do you think? Please review and thank you for reading. Are you ready for more?
