Another Chapter
"So who is this guy again?" the older lady asked as she watched her youngest daughter get ready for her date tonight.
Jazmin picked up a toy she found on the ground and said "A guy from my job, ma." she said as she picked up Riley and sat her on the bed and turned the channel to Sprout for her and her sister to watch.
Her mom handed Rylan her bottle as she laid down in bed and asked "What does he look like again?' Jazmin picked up her phone and showed her.
Jazmin would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. The girl was sick to her stomach. She had been trying to prepare for the day, but with the twins and her work schedule she had no time to. She went in her bathroom as she began to do her makeup for the night.
Her mom walked behind her and sat on the toilet as she looked at her youngest getting ready."So what's his name?" Jazmin smiled to herself and said "Joe but his wrestling name is Roman."
Her mom smiled and said "He's a handsome guy gyal."
Jazmin started putting on eyeshade and said "I know mom, he's really nice to you'll like him"
"Where are you guys going tonight?" her mom asked as she watched her daughter put on mascara.
She turned to her mom and said "I'm not really sure but I do know it's gonna be fun, not too fancy, I told he didn't have to do all that." she said. That week she had got a text from roman telling her to be ready and the time and telling her dress comfortable.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror as she put her straightened hair in a pony tail. She had on olive green jumpsuit with nude heels; she wore light lipstick with gold hoop earrings to match. She hoped it wasn't too much for the first date; she had changed her outfit 3 times before finally picking this one.
Jazmin turned around in the mirror as she looked at her outfit in the mirror. She turned around to her mom and said "Do I look ok?" Her mom went up to her and said "You look stunning gyal." as her mom kissed her forehead.
She smiled to herself and let out a nervous breath, she hoped this night turned out well. She really liked him and didn't want to make a fool out f herself tonight, this was her one chance and she didn't want to blow it.
She walked out the bathroom with her IPhone in hand and said "The girl's milk and stuff is in the fridge they already had their bath so they'll be good, they have snacks already in the fridge so they'll be alright. Roman should be here any minute. "
"Ok gyal say by to the babies." Jazmin went over to her girls and both gave them hugs and kisses. She turned to her mom and said "Thanks ma, I own you one." her mom smiled and said
"Have fun gyal."
Roman looked down from the rode as he looked at his phone saying he had new message from Jazmin.
I'm ready big guy.
He tried to calm his nerves as he approached her apartment. He checked in his mirror at his hair. He had it slicked it back into a clean ponytail in the back of his neck. He wore a fitted button-down shirt, with distressed slim jeans, with simple sneakers. He didn't want to do the whole fancy suit and tie thing, he had hoped that would come in due time.
He looked into the mirror one last time as he stopped his car in front of the location Jazmin told him she lived at. He parked the car as he texted Jazmin saying that he was outside. He stood outside of his car and waited for his dream girl.
Jazmin ruffled her hair as she walked out of her apartment. She wouldn't be lying if she said wasn't getting extremely nervous. This was gonna be her first date in a long time. She hoped everything went smooth sailing. She smiled as she saw her favorite person in her view standing outside his car.
'Damn he cleans up nice' she thought to herself as she looked him up and down while getting to him. She smiled as she got closer to him and saw the look on his face. This outfit did her justice.
"You look beautiful." Roman said as she approached him. Jazmin extended her arms out and engulfed Roman in a hug. She closed her eyes as she smelled his cologne and smiled to herself. She broke the hug and said "Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself."
Roman chuckled to himself and said "Thank you gorgeous, this are for you by the way." Jazmin was in awe as she saw the roses he had picked out for her. She happily received them from him and smelled them and said "They smell really nice, thank you so much."
Roman smiled at her reaction and said "No problem baby girl, you ready to go?" he asked
Jazmin nodded and said "Ready when you are." Roman opened the door for like a gentlemen and closed it right when she got in. Roman got into his car and started the ignition. As he started driving he started small talk with her.
"So how have you been?" Roman asked as he started driving. Jazmin got comfortable in her seat and said "I've been really good actually, just getting stuff done while I'm off the road. What about you I heard you've been kicking ass in the ring." she said with a smile.
Roman smirked to himself and said "I guess you can say that, the boys and I have been doing pretty good so far coming into the game this fast."
"I totally agree with you, you guys do really well with each other, you all have little components that make people love you, and you guys have good things coming your way." she said as he looked out the window.
"Thank you for that." Roman said as he reached for Jazmin hand. Jazmin turned to look at him and blushed when he kissed the palm of her hand as he drove. It was the little things he did that made her fall for him even more.
Jazmin intertwined there fingers together and said "You deserve it big guy."
"So tell me a little bit about yourself." Roman asked as they ate there sushi. Roman had taken Jazmin to a place not to fancy but just right for the both of them. He had reserved a table just for them that were nice and secluded from everyone; it gave a more personal feel for them.
Jazmin looked up at him as she accepted her other dish from there waitress and said "Where do I start?"
"Just tell me about yourself." he said as he ate his food.
Jazmin thought about it and said "Well you know my name of course, I'm 24, I just moved out here a few months ago, I have a few dogs, I've always had a love for makeup, I love old hip hop and r&b music, I love to party but also just stay home and just relax. Sometimes I like the finer things in life. But most of the time it's all about the little things that make a big difference to me. I'm a very clam person but a little fiery attitude at times, and I Iove really hard." she said as she looked at him.
Roman looked at her and said "What about family?" he asked
She took a deep breath and said "My family is really big so many nieces and nephews you wouldn't even understand, but I like it because you kinda get that security of knowing that there will always be someone to rely on when you're in need. Family is a really big part of me and keeping the family close is what I strive to do. But we do have our problems. What about you?" she asked
"Well as you may know my family is super big in the WWE and in general. We're a very close knit family, have each other's backs you get taught that very young age that the only people you can really rely on is family. Family first then anything else after. I like that we both have that in common." he said
Jazmin listened to him talk and the way he spoke and was very intrigued. She loved this man's thinking. They were more and more alike. "I like that we have the same mindset on family, you don't really find people with the same views and mindset as you. And if you don't mind me asking what your ethnicity is, I know you're Samoan but the eyes and your facial features tell me there's something more." she said as she sipped her drink.
He chuckled to himself and said "Well yes you're right, I'm actually Samoan and Italian my dad Sika is Samoan and my mom Patricia is Italian. Now what about you, your eyes and skin complexion and that little accent you have has me wondering what your ethnic background is also?" he said in his deep voice
Jazmin blushed at his comment and said "The accent is a little bit of living in New York and being Trinidadian, my mom is but my dad is Cuban."
Roman smirked at her and said "So we have a lot more things in common both being island babies." he said as she looked at her features even more. He loved chocolate women and Jazmin was no exception. Her nice smooth skin complexion was so nice. He had to say out of all the races he used to date black women always had the key to his heart. He got so memorized in her beauty; the shape of her almond eyes, her beautiful clear face, her beautiful cheek bones, and the gorgeous smile she had; it could light up the room, and who could forget the full plump lips, that would pucker up a little bit when she was in deep thinking; they led to much imagination. He got so memorized in her beauty he hadn't even noticed her calling his name until she reached at gently grabbed his hand.
"Roman are you alright?" she asked as she lopped there fingers together. His body heated up as he felt her gentle skin. He looked up at her and smirked to himself and said "I'm sorry, you are just too beautiful."
Jazmin blushed to herself and said "You just know what to say to make me like you even more don't you? She asked as she brushed her thumb against his hand as she looked directly at him.
"Just what to say for the right girl." he said as he kissed her hand while looking at her. Jazmin was so in awe with this man. 'Where have you been all my life' she thought to herself as she looked at him. She had never been so cared or treated like this ever. Why in the hell was this man single.
She looked at him and said "Tell me about yourself Roman."
Roman looked at her and said "Don't you know a lot about me already, I'm in the media all the time now." he said as he looked at her.
Jazmin smiled lightly and said "Yes I know, I hear about you, but I wanna know more about you, who you are, what's not in the media, who is Roman?" Jazmin asked as she looked at him intently.
Roman was shocked. He had never been asked this kinda question before, by anyone. It was all new to him. No one really wanted to know who Roman was the real him.
Roman looked at her and said "Roman is just the stage name; Joe is my real one. Roman is just a simple guy, who doesn't need much, cares really hard for others, makes sure everyone is ok, loves really hard, is really family oriented, very protective of others that mean a lot to him, he loves being happy and being around people that bring off really good vibes. I'm someone who is looking for love and to share himself with." he said as he looked at her. No one was ever able to get that out of him.
Jazmin smiled to herself contently and said "I like that person Joe."
"You're lying." Roman laughed as they walked with ice cream in their hands.
After finishing their food at that amazing restaurant they went to go play a little pool and really enjoyed each other's company. Throughout the game Jazmin and Roman both teased one other. From Roman "teaching" Jazmin how she should be positioned, to go right behind her bodies close to each other; Roman whispering in her ear, sending chills down her skin. Jazmin made a comeback from his tempting distraction and bending over so her butt was directly on his manhood. She smirked to herself as she felt him tense up and her make her shot winning the game. She smiled to herself in satisfaction at her victory.
Now they were walking outside the ice-cream parlor enjoying each other's company. "I swear I was a little nerd back in high school. A little book worm, the big glasses, and the whole thing." Jazmin said as she blushed in embarrassment of those awful high school memoires.
Roman ate his ice-cream and looked at Jazmin and said "I just can't see you being a little nerd; looking at you I would think you would've been a cheer leader or something honestly.
"I was a cheerleader for a little while, but track was always my thing. I loved running I was really good at it too. But it was mostly track and school." she said as they both sat down at a bench.
Roman wrapped his arm around her shoulders and said "I could understand that, my parents always told me school before football, you could be the best player but if you don't have knowledge all of that stuff doesn't really matter."
"Same thing my brother used to tell me when I was younger. He always thought that an education came first. So he pushed me sometimes a little too far but I know he did it because he loved me."
Roman listened to what she was saying and said "Where's your brother now?"
Jazmin tensed up at his words and froze for a little second and said "Um actually he passed away a couple years ago." she said as she tried to cover up her sadness in her voice.
Romans head snapped up at her statement and said "Oh my god I'm sorry to hear about your lost gorg." he really felt bad about bringing that up. He could see how talking about it brought up memories she rather hide.
Jazmin smiled at him and rubbed his thigh and said "Its ok, I know he's in a better place now, no worries."
Roman moved close to Jazmin and kissed the top of her head and said "Did you have a good evening today?"
Jazmin smiled up at him and looked at his grey eyes and said "I had a wonderful night Roman, thank you for dinner and everything I really appreciate it, I don't know why you did all of this for me." she said as she looked up at him.
Roman cupped her chin "You're such an amazing person Jazmin and if you would let me I would love to show that you are. From the little time of me knowing you you've grown so much on me in the best way Jazmin. If I have the chance to be with you I would honored to. You honestly bring out the best in me, and I would honestly want to do this again Jazmin." Roman said
Jazmin looked up at the man who had just put all of his emotion and feelings into how he felt about her and said "I don't want to go back to my place without kissing you." she said softly, her gaze still on his.
He placed his hand on the back of her neck and slowly pulled her face closer to his, their lips hovering over the other inches apart. He licked his lips before leaning in and softly pecking her lips once. His palm grazed the side of her face softly as her hands wrapped around his neck, her small hand tangling in his long black hair causing him to deepen the kiss. Roman slipped his tongue in her mouth and wrestled with hers for a few seconds and his thumb softly rubbed the nape of her neck. Roman removed his tongue and eased his mouth closed, pecking her lips again.
Jazmins eyes fluttered open as she bit on her lip in amazement trying to catch her breath. Roman smirked at her and said "Is that a yes?" he asked as he palmed the back of her neck while looking deeply into her almond eyes. "I don't know where this will lead or take us but I'm ready for the ride with you Roman, let's see where this goes." she said with a smile.
I'll be posting another chapter soon
