September – 2016
"You're still at work baby girl? It's 8 pm on a Sunday." Roman said over the phone to his girlfriend.
"Yes. Shane's in a meeting with some stake holders in Japan right now. It's 9 am in Tokyo." DayAnna said spinning around in her office chair.
DayAnna was working late at the office in New York city. While Roman was in Indianapolis Indiana for a Clash of Champions.
"Minor detail." Roman said. "Are you gonna be able to watch my match? I'm right before the main even to 10 pm I should be going on or so."
"I really hope to be home by then." DayAnna said.
"Day did you order the take out Mr. McMahon asked for?" Nathan another one of Shane's employee's asked her.
"Yes Nate I did. I ordered his favorite sandwiches from the deli around the corner they are delivering." She said as she clicked a few things on her computer. "Hey good news stud." She smiled talking to Roman once again.
"What's that?"
"I can watch your match here in the office. I just got the WWE network on my work computer."
"I new you wouldn't miss it. Hey we still on for this weekend? I finally have an off weekend and I can't wait to see you." He smiled.
"Yes my flight leaves Thursday evening. Looking forward to a little Florida sun."
"Is that it?" He questioned trying to be serious.
"Yep pretty much. Sitting pool side in my new bikini."
"Girl are you trying to turn me on before my match?" Roman chuckled.
Day giggled. "I will never tell. But being serious. I miss you and can't wait to see you this week. But are you sure you want me to meet your parents?" She asked a little nervous.
"I miss you to Baby girl. And Yes I am more than sure. I want them to meet the woman who made me fall in love with her." He said proudly.
"Oh I made you fall in love with me?" She giggled.
"Yes baby girl I had no choice in the matter."
"Who knew I had that much control." She giggled as Day looked up and saw the deliver guy from the deli coming off the elevator. "I gotta go stud. I will talk to you later and good luck put down Rusev once and for all and get that title."
"There's no doubt I am walking out Champion." Roman smiled. "I love you Day."
"I love you Rome." She said hanging up the phone paying the deliver man plus tip.
"Shane the food's here." DayAnna said knocking on the conference room door.
"Great! Thanks Day. OOO yes you got me the club sandwich." Shane smiled as DayAnna handed him the wrapped sandwich and small bag of chips along with his drink.
"With extra ham and pickles on the side." DayAnna said.
"Does this woman know me or what!" Shane smiled at another one of his associates.
"She really does. Not bad on the eyes either McMahon." He whispered back to him. Shane just smirked and nodded in agreement.
"Day why don't you join us?" Shane offered.
"That's alright Shane I have a little more work to do at my desk." She said.
"Nonsense. That work can wait. Join us." Shane said again.
DayAnna hesitated because usually these meetings were closed but it appeared that they were done with the video session any way. She finally agreed and as Shane and a few other associates were eating their late dinner and chatting about business and soon golf. DayAnna was eating her salad when Shane leaned over.
"Bite?" He offered.
"No thanks. To much meat on there." She told him.
"You don't eat meat?" He asked.
"Oh I do but not big on ham." DayAnna answered.
"I'll have to remember that." Shane said.
"So this Thursday is the charity golf tournament right McMahon." Someone asked.
"Yes. Right Day?"
"Yes Shane. It's at Shadow Ridge in New Jersey. It starts at 10 am and should be done by 4 pm. There will be a brunch served before the tournament at 9 am." DayAnna explained.
"See I told you she's got it all planned out."
"What charity again?" another person asked.
"This one is for the Make a Wish Foundation." DayAnna smiled.
"I let DayAnna pick the Charity this time." Shane said with a smile. "WWE also works with Make a Wish so it's great press for our business too."
Over the next hour or so more business talk was had along with more details about the golf outing. Finally the meeting wrapped up and everyone started to head home. Only Nate, Shane and DayAnna were left at the office. DayAnna was cleaning the conference room when she looked at the time.
"Oh No." DayAnna said rushing to her computer.
"What's wrong?" Nate asked.
"I hope I didn't miss Rome's match. It was a title match." She said sitting at her desk and getting on the Network. "Damn it. I missed it." She said feeling horrible as she watched Roman standing on the ring ropes holding the United States Title in his hands.
"As Roman Reigns celebrates his first United States Championship win." Micheal Cole said.
"That's the boyfriend?" Nate grinned.
"Yes you've seen him before hence this picture on my desk." She smiled looking at a photo of her and Roman that was taking over Summerslam week in her apartment.
"OK well in this photo he's wearing glasses and he had a man bun. Here." He said pointing to the screen. "I see a sexy sweaty hunk of a man. With long amazing hair."
DayAnna giggled biting her lip. "He is all man believe me."
"ooo girl." Nate said in a girly voice. "I bet he is."
"Should I tell Tyler?"
"Oh he knows I look that isn't a crime girl." He smiled. "But hey being serious Roman will understand you were working."
"Yeah I know I just feel bad this was a huge moment for him and I missed it. I should have paid more attention to the time."
Several Days Later – Thursday.
DayAnna was in New Jersey for the golf tournament. Every one was enjoying the brunch as Day was making sure everything was set and ready to go.
"Everything looks great DayAnna." Nate said helping her.
"Thanks. I just wanted to make sure it all came together and I couldn't have done it with out you." She smiled. "Now are you sure you'll be able to finish everything up this evening?"
"Yes for the millionth time. You're plane leave at 6 pm so you need to leave here no later than 3 pm. You need to make it up to your man." Nate smiled at her.
"Don't remind me." DayAnna said.
"Was he really mad?" Nate asked.
"I think he was more disappointed." She said as she scanned the room seeing all these executives in golf clothes enjoying the brunch.
"Did he say that?"
"No but I could sense it in his voice. I told him I would watch and I didn't he has a right to be mad. So I am hoping to make it up to him over the next several days. Also meeting his parents."
"Wait you're meeting the parents?" Nate grinned.
"Yep."
"Getting serious now." He told her.
That afternoon everything was going well everyone seemed to love the golf tournament and the donations for The Make a Wish Foundation were rolling in.
DayAnna Met up with Shane on one of the holes of golf.
"Day. This is great everyone is loving it."
"That's good and the donations keep rolling in." She smiled.
"I want to thank you for this idea. The new clients are digging it." Shane said.
"Of course just doing my job." She said.
"Want to drive the golf cart?" He asked.
"Duh! Don't have to ask me twice." DayAnna smiled as she was driving Shane to the next hole. She noticed Shane was checking his phone and had a serious look on his face.
"Everything alright?" She asked.
"Not really. Marissa and I were suppose to go to dinner with Mr. Yang this evening and then hit a Broadway show. But she's canceling on me." He stated.
"Oh Shane I am so sorry. Stuck at work?" DayAnna asked as she stopped the golf cart reaching their destination.
"Something like that." He said as he looked at Day. "Hey why don't you come with me instead. Can't do this couple thing alone. He's bringing his wife."
"Oh Shane. I can't." She said looking at him.
"Please I need you I can't do this alone." He stated.
"Shane I'm sorry I really can't remember I asked for the tomorrow off. I am flying out to Florida tonight." She said. "I am sure Mr. Yang will understand beside he seems to like you so just explain Marissa is working late and you'll be fine."
"Can you change your flight? Fly out first thing tomorrow?" Shane asked.
"Oh Shane. I just ..." She said as he looked and touched her arm softy.
"Please."
"Let me see what I can do." DayAnna said getting off the golf cart.
As she headed towards the club house she got out her phone to call Roman.
"Hey Baby girl." He said answering the phone. "I can't wait to see you. I have your plane landing about 11 pm. So I will be at the airport to pick you then. So are you on your way to the airport?"
"Rome about that …." She started to say.
"No baby girl no. Tell me you are not changing our plans." Roman said.
"Just until tomorrow I can take a morning flight and be there by noon." She told him.
"Why? Why the change?" He asked directly.
"Shane … had tickets to see Broadway with a client and Marissa ..." DayAnna began to say before Roman stopped her.
"Nope stop right there. That is not your job Day. He can do that shit solo. Please just tell him no get on the plane and see me." Roman said.
"Rome I just …."
"Listen you are to damn nice. McMahon is taking advantage of that. He's blurring those lines Day I can see it. You're job is not to go out with him to a show to woo a client." Roman said.
"I know Rome. I'm sorry I even brought it up. I will be on that plane."
"Good I will see you soon. I love you Day."
"Love you too." She said hanging up the phone as she reached the club house.
"Hey Day. Just in time. You're cab is here to take you to the airport." Nate smiled. "I already put your bags in the truck."
"Thanks. Look when Shane gets back to the club house tell him I am sorry but I couldn't change my flight. He maybe mad so I am sorry I am leaving him that way. But tomorrow morning make sure you have an Almond Croissant and a double tall caffe Misto on his desk. He'll be fine by lunch." DayAnna explained while getting in the cab.
By the time DayAnna to the airport and through security her phone went off she looked down at saw that it was Shane. She took a deep breathe and hit ignore. A few moments later her phone went off again.
"First thing Monday Morning I want to see you in my office."
DayAnna read the message then turned off her phone. She would worry about that Monday right now she was heading to see Roman a man she had grown to love and care about and this weekend was about them and meeting his parents. DayAnna only hoped they would like her.
