2012-
She was waiting by the car for the guys. She heard them talking about Seth's hair and laughed. They loved teasing him. Dean sent her a nod and Seth was pouting, Roman hugged her.
"Were you waiting long?", Roman asked.
She shook her head no. He unlocked the back and put his bag in, taking hers and doing the same. On the way to the hotel, Dean was talking about how sore he was and how Ryback messed up.
"Take a hot bath, should help with the soreness", she said.
She knew from experience, not just wrestling but from when her dad would beat her. Sometimes she couldn't move and AJ would take her to the bathroom and turn on the water for her. She sat beside the tub, holding Amaya's hand.
"I'll try it", Dean said.
Getting to the hotel, Roman reached over to a sleeping Amaya and he shook her gently and she jumped up.
"Sorry, we're here", he said.
She nodded and wiped her eyes. Dean and Seth were in the back getting the bags down.
"Yaya, you okay?", he asked.
She looked at him and nodded.
"You just startled me", she said.
He leaned over and kissed her cheek, lingering close.
"You can talk to me, you know. About anything", he said softly.
She smiled and returned the kiss to the cheek. He rested his forehead against hers.
"You've become important to me and if anyone is hurting you, tell me and I'll handle them. I won't let them hurt my girl", he whispered.
Her heart raced at that.
"I'm fine Roman, but thank you", she said.
He kissed her on her nose and pulled away, seeing something from the corner of his eye, he turned. Dean was giving him a disapproving look. He slammed the back door and Roman got off, hoping Dean would drop it.
He locked the car and joined the group. Seth and Amaya had gone ahead to check in. Dean grabbed Roman's arm, stopping him.
"What the hell man? We talked about this", Dean said.
"And I told you to back off. I know my limits Dean and I know not to cross them", Roman said.
"Yes Roman, you know your limits, but what happens when Yaya starts to fall for you? What happens if she tries to kiss you? Will you be able to stop it or will you let it happen and put the blame all on her? Well she kissed me first", Dean said.
"You sound jealous", Roman said.
"I'm not, I see Amaya like a little sister. The problem here, is that you don't", he said.
"Dean, nothing's going to happen", Roman said.
"It honestly better not", Dean warned, before walking away.
Roman took a deep breath before following. Amaya and Seth were waiting for Dean to get a room.
"I'm sorry sir, but we are all booked", the lady behind the counter said.
"Are you serious?", Dean asked.
She nodded. Roman grabbed his key from Seth.
"You can room with me, my room has two beds", Amaya said.
Roman looked from her to Dean and Dean nodded. Roman could feel the angry green monster creeping up. Jealousy wasn't pretty on anyone.
"I thought you said you were rooming with Kaitlyn?", Roman asked.
She looked at him and felt bad for lying, but she knew that if she told him that she was rooming alone, she would invite him in and something between them might happen.
"Her boyfriend surprised her", she lied again and he knew it.
Roman nodded, he knew why she had lied to him. He would have shown up at her door and there would be nothing or no one to stop him from making her his. He also knew, she would let him.
"Do I have to worry about you two rooming together?", Roman asked Amaya.
Seth chuckled.
"Relax dad", Seth said to Roman.
Dean put his arm around Amaya.
"Yeah dad, relax, she's like a sister to me", Dean said.
Roman clenched his jaw before looking away. Seth pressed the button for the elevator and once it arrived they walked in. Seth and Roman were one floor up. Dean and Amaya walked off. Getting to their room, Dean held the door open for Amaya.
They each picked a bed, she was pulling out her clothes for the night when her phone dinged. Opening the message, it was from Roman.
"Is there something going on between you and Dean? I feel like I'm missing something"-Roman
Amaya sighed.
"Nothing is going on between us, we are just friends. He needed a room, I had an extra bed"-Amaya
"Why lie to me about Kaitlyn?"-Roman
Amaya bit her lip before replying.
"I think you know Roman"-Amaya
"Goodnight Yaya"-Roman
She didn't reply back. Dean was laying on his bed. She zipped up her suitcase and walked into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. How was she going to hide her night terrors? This was why she usually only roomed with April or Kaitlyn, because they understood them and why she had them. Dean needed a room, she wasn't going to leave him out in the cold.
She did debate with herself about letting Dean room with her. She hadn't had a terror for a few weeks now, maybe she won't have one tonight. She changed and walked back out. Dean looked up and smiled at her.
"I'm going to take that bath", he said.
She nodded.
"I'm going to order something to eat. Want anything?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Cheeseburger", he said.
She nodded as he closed the door. She ordered and they told her it would be up as soon as it was done. She turned on the tv and watched Supernatural. A knock at their door, she opened it. Roman stood there.
"Hey", she said.
"Sorry, I just couldn't sleep. I wanted to apologize for assuming and butting into your business, it's not up to me who comes into your room and who doesn't", he said.
"It's okay", she said.
"Amaya, you're right. I know what would have happened if you told me you were rooming alone", he said.
He swallowed before stepping towards her, he pulled her into him. He leaned down.
"Room service", that stopped him.
He sighed, frustrated and annoyed at the second interruption. Maybe this was a sign, don't kiss her. The universe is trying to tell you something.
"I'll see you tomorrow", he said.
She nodded and he moved aside to let the room service guy in. Roman left back to his room. She thanked the guy and gave him a tip. Knocking on Dean's door.
"Food is here", she said.
"Be right out", he said.
She sat in front of the tv again and started eating. Dean came out a few minutes later, drying his hair and he sat.
"Smells good", he said.
"It taste good too", she said, putting fries into her mouth.
He chuckled.
"I like that you eat and don't count calories", he said.
"I figured I workout hard, why not make my stomach happy and eat greasy food", she said.
He laughed.
"True", he said.
Her phone started ringing and she reached for it. Dean hoped it wasn't Roman.
"Hey April", she answered.
Dean sighed.
"Hey, Kaitlyn told me you were rooming alone. Will you be okay?", she asked.
"I'm not rooming alone, actually", Amaya said.
Dean glanced over at her before looking back at the tv.
"Brie?", April asked.
"Um, no, Dean", Amaya said.
"Shut up, are you sleeping with him?", April asked.
"No, God April", Amaya said.
Dean laughed knowing exactly what AJ might have said to make Amaya react that way.
"They didn't have anymore rooms and I had an extra bed, offered it to him", Amaya explained.
"Or you could share a bed", April suggested.
"April, ew. No offense Dean", Amaya said.
"None taken", Dean said.
"Okay prude. What about your night terrors?", April asked.
Amaya stood and walked into the bathroom. Dean found that weird.
"I haven't had one in a few days. I'm hoping it will stay that way, even for just tonight", Amaya said.
"I'm so sorry I left you alone", April said.
"April, it's fine. I can take care of myself", Amaya said.
"I know, but you worry me sometimes", she said.
Amaya smiled.
"I love you", Amaya whispered.
"I love you too Smalls, be good till I get back", she said.
"I will", Amaya said, before hanging up.
She joined Dean again on the couch.
"Everything okay?", he asked.
Amaya nodded.
