Roman emptied out the box Valerie took. It was his protein powder and vitamins. He fixed them in an area where the girls couldn't reach.
"It's a beautiful home. The girls are going to love it", his mom said.
He nodded.
"Have you found a place in New Jersey?", she asked.
"Not yet. I'm thinking of going down there after family court and finding something.", he said.
She nodded.
"You know, your father and I have been talking about our next family reunion. We thought Hawaii would be nice", his mom said.
He nodded.
"Yeah, its beautiful", Roman said.
"It's settled. After this mess with Valerie, we'll figure out a date and hopefully you'll make it.", his mom said
He nodded.
Amaya was walking around backstage trying to find Roman. Getting to the locker room, she knocked on the door. Sheamus answered.
"Hey", he said smiling.
"Hey, is Roman in?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Roman, you've got a guest", Sheamus said.
She leaned back against the wall and waited for him to come out. The door opened and he poked his head out. He smiled when he saw that it was her. He walked out and tied his hair into a bun.
"What's up?", he asked.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing. My mom said your family court is starting this week", she said.
His smile fell.
"Yeah, Wednesday", he said.
"I really hope everything works out for you. You don't deserve to lose Autumn", she said.
"I don't deserve to lose a lot of things, but it happened. I'm determined to keep two of the three people I lost.", he said.
Amaya looked down at her feet. She swallowed before meeting his eyes again.
"I wanted to talk to you before you hear it from anyone else.", she said.
"You're going to say yes to him", he said.
"Yes", she said.
He sighed and looked down the hall.
"Don't marry him", he said.
Her heart sped up. He looked at her.
"I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you", he said.
She opened her mouth to speak, but he cut her off. Finger pointed at her.
"Don't you dare say you love him too", he said.
"Why not? It's true", she said.
He laughed and shook his head.
"You've said that so much, you are actually starting to believe it. No one else does Yaya.", Roman said.
"I just wanted to be nice and let you know before anyone else. I didn't want to you to be caught off guard", Amaya said.
Roman grabbed her elbow and stopped her. He lifted her over his shoulder and walked down the hall. Trying to find an empty room.
"Roman put me down", Amaya tried not to shout in order to not attract attention.
He opened a door to the janitors closet and walked in. He closed it behind himself and locked it before setting her down.
"What hell", she shouted and pushed him, even thought it didn't do anything.
He smiled and pulled her towards him. Kissing her. She found herself returning the kiss. He pushed down her tiny shorts and undid his belt with her help.
"Stop, we need to stop", Amaya said.
He shook his head no. He lifted her and she wrapped her legs around him. He kissed her neck, moving up to her ear.
"I don't want to, don't ask me to stop. Tell me yes", he whispered.
She licked her lips.
"Yes", she whispered.
He lowered the front of his briefs and pushed into her. She moaned. She undid his bun and ran her fingers through his long hair.
Dean was leaning against the wall. Brie joined him, confused as to why he chose this spot specifically. They had become good friends since Brie was engaged to Seth and he was dating her sister.
"What are you doing?", she asked.
He pointed a thumb towards the janitors closet. She was still confused.
"Put your ear to the door and tell me what you hear", he said.
She did as he said. She could hear moaning and groans.
"Holy shit, who's in there?", she asked.
He smirked.
"Is it Finn and Cathy?", she asked angry.
He shook his head no.
"But you're close", he said, crossing his arms over his chest.
Her mouth dropped open. He nodded.
"Yaya and Roman are in there", she whispered.
"Yup", he replied.
"Are they back together?", she asked.
Their friends hoped they were.
"I don't know. I walked out of the locker room to see Roman carrying Amaya down here and locking them inside", he said.
She nodded.
"Well, let's hope for our groups sake, that they are", Brie said.
He nodded.
Roman nipped at her bottom lip as she tried to catch her breath.
"You don't love him. If you did, you wouldn't have let me make love to you", he said.
He tilted her head. Their eyes met.
"Don't say yes", he said.
His eyes were begging her. He swallowed.
"If you do marry him, you will still look for me. I will still make love to you. We've been here before Yaya, only this time, you'll be the married one.", he said.
"Let me down", she said.
He nodded. He pulled away from the wall and let her down. She dressed and he redid his pants. She unlocked the door and walked out without a word. She stopped when she saw Dean and Brie. She walked passed them quickly. Brie followed after her. Dean opened the door and saw his brother sitting on a bucket.
"She's going to say yes to him", he said softly.
"What?", Dean asked.
Roman looked at his hands.
"She wanted me to know before I found out from anyone else.", he explained.
"So was this goodbye sex?", Dean asked.
"No. It was me telling her that I still love her and that she loves me.", Roman said.
"Did you give her the ring?", Dean asked.
Roman shook his head no. During one of Roman's drunken moments, they had gone to a store and Roman had bought a ring. He was saving it for Amaya.
"Give it to her", Dean said.
"It's not going to change anything", Roman said.
Dean sighed and left. He knew Roman always carried the ring. Getting to the locker room, he went through Roman's bag. Sheamus and Randy watched.
"You know that's Reigns's bag", Randy said.
Dean nodded. Getting to the zipper inside, he opened it and there sat the wooden box. He pulled it out and took off out the door.
Roman got back to the locker room and noticed his things were thrown around.
"What the fuck?", he asked.
"Ambrose", Randy and Sheamus said.
Roman groaned.
"Shit", he said, before taking off.
He knew what Dean was looking for and he knew where Dean was going.
Amaya was sitting with Brie.
"What happened?", Brie asked.
"I went to tell Roman that I was saying yes to Finn. He said to say no and that I didn't love Finn. Next thing I know, he's lifting me over his shoulder and dragging me to the janitors closet.", Amaya said.
"And having his way with you", Brie filled in.
Amaya blushed and paced.
"Why is it so fucking hard to say no to him? Why can't I push him away?", Amaya asked.
Brie smiled.
"Because you love him", Brie said.
"But I can't. I'm the reason he's losing his child. She wouldn't be trying to hurt him if it wasn't for me", Amaya said.
"That's why you're denying your feelings for him?", Brie asked.
Amaya sighed.
"Yaya, whether you are with him or not, she's going to want to hurt him. He cheated on her and left her, she's angry.", Brie said.
Amaya looked down at her hands.
"Me being with him is just going to piss her off more", Amaya said.
"She's already angry, the worst she can do is try to take Autumn from him. She's already doing that", Brie said.
Amaya knew Brie made a point.
"Don't say anything to Finn just yet. Wait till this whole thing with the custody is over with. Then decide. She won't be able to hold anything over him anymore.", Brie said.
Amaya sat.
"Think about it Amaya", Brie said, setting a hand on her friend's shoulder.
Amaya nodded. Dean ran over to them and tossed something at Amaya. He was trying to catch his breath. Amaya picked up the box and opened it. Her mouth dropped open.
"Dean", Amaya said worried.
"Relax. Its from Roman", Dean said, setting his hands on his hips.
"What?", Brie and Amaya asked.
He nodded.
"He bought it before you came back. He hoped that one day he would find you and you two could be together. He's held onto it", Dean said.
Amaya looked at the ring. It was beautiful. One big diamond, surrounded by smaller ones.
"Dean", they heard Roman shout.
Everyone around them turned in that direction. Roman finally appeared, breathing as heavy as Dean. Amaya stood. Roman met her eyes. She held up the box.
"He was not allowed to give you that", Roman said.
He didn't know what else to say. He could feel his hands shaking.
"What the hell?", Amaya asked.
"I, it's not, I wanted to", he didn't know what to say.
Amaya took another step towards Roman. Roman found his courage.
"Marry me?", he asked.
He got down on one knee.
"Yes", Dean shouted behind her.
Roman stood.
"Don't answer now, because I know I just added to your plate of things to think about. Just know, that I love you", he said.
He took a step back, before completely turning and walking away. Amaya looked at Brie and Dean.
"What the hell?", she asked.
