A/N: I only own the OC.
Thanks for all the reviews!
He knocked on the door right at 7... I smiled when I opened it. I found him in black jeans, a red button up shirt, and some boots. He had his hair pulled up in a man bun, and he had trimmed his beard.
"You look nice." he said and I smiled at him.
"Thank you, you want to come in? Dinner is almost ready." I said and he looked at me confused for a second.
"I realized that you probably don't get many home cooked meals, and I have been craving something." I said and he chuckled.
"I could have at least bought wine." he said and I waved it off.
"I have plenty... pick one and open it?" I asked him and he nodded as he followed me into the kitchen.
"You have a nice house." he said and I smiled at him.
"Thanks, I bought it with one of my first checks... I wanted to spoil myself." I said and he smiled at me.
"Is this one ok?" he asked me as he held up a bottle of Bellissima Sparkling Rose Wine and I nodded.
"One of my favorites." I said and he smiled at me as he popped the cork. I set glasses down as he poured them. I was checking on the food. I had cooked a chicken alfredo bake and some garlic bread. I just hoped that he liked it.
"Smells amazing." he said as he handed me a glass and we clinked them together.
"Thank you. I hope that you like it." I told him and he smiled.
I gave him a tour while we waited for it to stop and he stopped at my piano. He looked at it and I smiled at him.
"Go ahead... it's the one I learned to play on." I said and he looked at me surprised.
"Yes, you aren't the only one that knows how to play." I said and he chucked as he sat on the bench. He started playing 'Change the World' and I chuckled.
"You can do better?" he asked me and I shrugged as he got up. I sat down and played 'Once Upon a Dream' from Sleeping Beauty. He was clapping when I was done as I took a sip of wine.
"What is that from... it sounds familiar." he said as I walked back into the kitchen. The food was almost done.
"Once Upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty. I learned to play it first because I love that movie." I said and he smiled.
The food finished and I handed him a plate. He followed me to the Florida room, where I had a small table set, and sat down. The weather was nice as the cooler air felt nice with the late sunshine. I was glad that he liked the food, and we didn't have any awkward breaks in conversation. I found out some surprising things from him. He had a bachelor's degree, knew a few different languages, and we talked about how we got into wrestling.
"I should have helped you with dishes." he said and I waved it off. I had already put the food away, and just had the dishes left.
"It's fine... I made sure I had a dishwasher for a reason." I said and he chuckled.
"Thank you for dinner. I know this was probably better than the place I was going to take us." he said and I smiled at him.
"Save it for next time." I said and he looked at me surprised.
"Next time?" he asked me and I felt myself blush. I wasn't supposed to say that out loud. I got ready to say something, but he cut me off with a light kiss.
"There will be a next time." he said as he pulled away and my eyes slowly opened. I saw his hazel eyes staring back into mine. He kissed my once more before leaving. I immediately texted Sara about my night and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
The next morning...
"You look happy." a voice said when they came into the weight room. I looked up to see Roman and I knew that I probably had a stupid smile still on my face.
"I had a good night." I said and he chuckled as he sat on the machine next to the one I was on.
"Really? Got a new toy?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes as he chuckled.
"Funny... why are you up so early?" I asked him as he started to work out.
"I couldn't sleep and I had nothing better to do." he said once he finished his rep and I nodded.
We were spotting each other and working out when Sara came into the weight room. She shot me a look before telling me she wanted to talk when I was done. I finished up with Roman and was leaving when he stopped me.
"Hey, can we get lunch later?" I asked him and I nodded.
"Yeah, everything ok?" I asked him and he chuckled.
"Yeah... yeah... I will find you later." he said and I nodded before walking to Sara's office. I sat down and she looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes?" I asked her and she smirked.
"Elias at night, and Roman during the day?" she asked me and I rolled my eyes.
"He found me working out." I said and she nodded.
"You do look happier today." she said and I smiled as I told her about our 'date' last night. She seemed happy for me, before we talked about the training for today. I got my sessions done and forgot that I was meeting Roman for lunch until he came to my office with cartons of Chinese food.
"I figured we could have a picnic." he said and I smiled at him as he helped spread everything out.
"Thanks, Roman." I said as we were eating.
"Welcome, I wanted to spend time with you." he said and I smiled.
"So, seriously, what made you so happy this morning?" he asked me. I knew that I needed to tell him... we really were good friends, but something was stopping me.
"Just had a good night last night." I said and he nodded.
"You seeing someone?" he asked me and I shrugged.
"We just had dinner." I said and he gave a small smile.
"When do I get to take you out to dinner?" he asked me and I was surprised, as he chuckled.
"I mean, this counts... right?" I asked him and he shrugged.
"If you want it to, but I was hoping to actually take you somewhere." he said and I got ready to say something when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." I said and Paul stuck his head in.
"Hey, Roman... I didn't know you were here." He said to him and Roman nodded.
"Yeah, just hanging out with Dani." he said as Paul smiled at me.
"Good... Dani, we have a trainer meeting at 1. I have added it to discuss some new things. The main conference room." he said and I nodded. I glanced at my clock that was in 10 minutes.
"I will clean up and meet you in there." I said and he nodded. Roman helped me clean up, and I grabbed my stuff before we started out of my office.
"Thanks for lunch." I hugged him and he smiled at me.
"Dinner?" he asked me and I was hoping that he had forgotten about it, but he hadn't.
"I can't tonight... text me and we can figure it out." I said and he kissed my cheek before leaving. I guess Cesaro and Sara were right... they both liked me.
