Natalie and Roman got back to the house after dinner. "That was an amazing dinner." Natalie said when they did.
Roman smiled. "Glad you enjoyed it."
"I did." She smiled. "Dinner was good, the view was good and is good." She looked at him. "The company is amazing." She smiled.
He smiled at her. "The company has been my favorite part." She smiled as he kissed her. "I've been thinking maybe we could see where this thing takes us."
"Then we are on the same page because I want to see where it goes as well."
"So we're dating now?"
"We are." He leaned and kissed her. She smiled against his lips as he leaned in and kissed her. He pulled her closer to him and they headed upstairs.
Soon, their weekend was over and they got back home. Lindsay was nervous to tell Natalie that she was moving in with Randy. Natalie walked into her condo and smiled. She had a great weekend and now she wanted to know what was up with Lindsay. She sent her a text telling her she was home. Lindsay called her a few minutes later.
"Hey, how was your weekend?" She asked Lindsay when she picked up.
"Amazing. We have so much to talk about."
"Well, talk away." Natalie smiled.
"I told Randy that I loved him. And...were moving in together."
"What?" Natalie laughed. "I'm so happy for you both."
"Thanks. So I'm selling my condo if you know of anyone looking."
"I don't right off hand but I will ask around."
"Thanks. I appreciate it. And I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come over and help me get some ideas about decorating."
"Of course I do." Natalie replied.
"Good. And it's cool if you bring Roman."
"Thanks." She smiled.
"Maybe Roman knows somebody who could buy the condo."
"Maybe. I'll ask him"
"Would you guys like to come to dinner tonight? The guys could come over after practice and maybe we could get a jump on the decorating ideas and you could help me with dinner?"
"That sounds perfect." Natalie replied. "I would love that."
"Okay, so I will see you soon."
Natalie laughed. "Well you see me now but we can meet up later and talk ideas."
Lindsay laughed. "Pregnancy brain. Gotta love it."
Natalie laughed too. "Yeah you do."
"I'm going to go get everything ready for dinner. See you and Roman tonight about six?"
"We will be there." She smiled.
Randy and Roman were on the field waiting for practice to begin. "How was the trip?" Randy asked Roman as they did.
"It was great. We had a great time."
Randy smiled. "Did the trip accomplish what you wanted it to?"
"I don't know what I was trying to accomplish but we spent some time together and got to know each other. And we are going to where this might go."
Roman said. "Natalie is a wonderful person." John walked up just as he said it.
"Still nailing my ex huh?" John said to him. "Well, I'm sure it won't last long."
"I'm not so sure about that. We had a great time this past weekend. She loved me showing her around Pensacola."
"Right." John replied. "Well, I'm sure you will dump her before long. It is what you do right? I mean we are pro football players who have beautiful, young girls throwing themselves at us all the time. Why limit it to one girl?" He smiled within knowing he was trying to get Roman angry.
"Because I would rather have an incredible, sensual, sexy woman like Natalie than a hundred fan girls." Roman said looking at John. "Natalie is a sexy, sensual woman. You lost out on. Move on." John walked passed him and pushed his shoulder. He took a breath as he did. He knew John was baiting him and he wasn't going to fall for it.
Randy looked at him. "Don't sweat it man. He's always been a sore loser. He hates when he can't control things."
Roman nodded. "Well, he can do whatever he wants, I'm not going to stop seeing Natalie."
"Alright. Practice guys." They nodded and walked over to where the team was to start practice.
The first play, John snapped the ball and then close-lined Roman as he ran toward him. "Damn it Cena." Roman said when he got up. "That's not the play."
"My bad."
"Right." Roman replied. "You really are an asshole."
John stepped up so they were nose to nose. "You want to fight this out. Bring it."
Randy stepped between them. "Guys, stop. Let's just get back to practice."
"Blame Cena." Roman replied.
"I want some practice going on." The coach said walking up. John walked away. "Practice." The coach said again. They nodded and headed that way.
As practice continued, John kept targeting Roman. Randy stepped in a few times and took the hit. Finally, at the end of practice, Randy and Roman were standing there talking with their helmets and pads off. John charged toward them and Randy pushed Roman out of the way. John drove his shoulder into Randy's stomach and he fell hard. He hit his head hard.
"What the hell Cena?" Roman said as he bent down to check on Randy as the rest of the team ran over.
EMT s and paramedics rushed over. They began to check Randy out. Roman sighed and called Natalie. He told her what happened and she said she would tell Lindsay.
Natalie grabbed her things and headed to Lindsay's office. "Hey, we need to go." Natalie said walking in.
"What's going on?"
"Randy was hurt during practice." Natalie replied.
"What? What happened? Is he okay?"
"Apparently John went crazy in practice today."
"John hurt him?"
"I'm not sure about all the details. But it was apparently John, Randy and Roman." She looked at Lindsay. "Let's go and find out the details." She nodded and they headed out.
Randy was in the trainer's office. They had done a preliminary once over of his injuries and an ambulance was on the way to take him to get checked out. Roman had texted Natalie and told her to take Lindsay home. Roman sighed as Randy was getting looked over. He felt horrible that Randy got hurt. He heard Randy groan and he looked over.
"Sorry man. I feel horrible about this."
"It's not your fault. I've got to call Lindsay. Let her know what happened and that I'm okay." Randy said as he groaned.
"Relax." Roman said to him. "Natalie knows and she told Lindsay and then she took Lindsay home." Randy groaned but nodded. "When they release you, if they do today, I will take you to Lindsay's." He sighed. "Randy, I am sorry that John did this. That was meant for me not you."
"He was being a dick. Couldn't let him hurt you."
"You just shouldn't have taken the hit for me."
"John is a jerk."
"Alright Randy, the ambulance is here to take you to get checked out." The trainer said as the paramedics came in.
"I'll follow and then take you home." Roman said.
Randy nodded as the paramedics took him out and to the ambulance. He was soon on his way to the hospital to get checked out.
