"I know everybody is exhausted after the last three games." Said Roman after their win today over a school in Jacksonville. "But I just wanted to say good job everyone. We're all really proud of you guys. Our next game is on Friday and it's against one of the best football teams in Miami. Let's show them while we're still undefeated and why we're going to be champions when this season is over. They're going to be here in our home turf, so let's do this, alright?"
The guys clapped and made their way to the showers before leaving. Roman got a text from Katrina, reminding him of tonight and to congratulate him on his win. Once everybody was gone from the locker room, Roman went straight home to get ready after going to the barber shop to get a quick haircut.
Almost an hour later, he was knocking on Katrina's door to pick her up. When she answered, she jumped in his arms and embraced in a hug. Katrina dug her face into his neck and continued to hold on to Roman tightly. Pulling back, they shared a kiss and she melted in his arms.
"I've missed you so much." She whispered to him. "I wanted you to stay with me this weekend."
"I couldn't stop thinking about you all weekend." Said Roman as his lips brushed against her ear. Katrina smiled happily as she felt his warm breath and sweet whispers in her ear. "I think that's why we won all three games. You may be my good luck charm."
She giggled and bit her lip. "I would happily accept the role."
They forced themselves to stop with all of the kissing and hugging and held hands as they made their way to Katrina's grandparents house for dinner. When Roman turned off the car after parking in the driveway, he wouldn't let go of Katrina's hand.
"You okay?" She asked when she looked over at him.
Roman nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just want them to like me. I don't want the only thing that they talk or think about when it comes to us to be the whole Professor and Student thing."
Katrina understood his feeling on the situation. "I'll be right there with you."
He looked at their hands, as their fingers were intertwined with each other and stroked her hand with his thumb. Leaning over, Katrina met him half way so that their lips could meet for another kiss. This time, it was soft and sweet.
Getting out of the car, they held hands on their way to the door and knocked. Anna answered the door and smiled as she and her sister hugged. She greeted Roman and looked at Katrina in surprise as to how good he looked. Roman had on a plain, black shirt with blue jeans and sneakers. His long, raven black hair was slicked back into a neat and small bun. He had shaved and gotten a haircut and had on Katrina's favorite colonge.
"Hi Grandma, hey grandpa." Said Katrina as she walked up to them and gave them both a hug.
Roman walked up to them and shook their hands. "My name's Roman. It's nice to meet you."
They smiled at his manners and took him into the kitchen to talk to him. He turned around without them noticing to much and gave Katrina a wink with a smile, making her grow warm. She then turned her attention to her sister who sat on the couch and they began a conversation.
"Do you know if Dad is coming?" Asked Katrina.
Anna shook her head and shrugged. "I have no idea. But I think that it's best if he doesn't. At least tonight, I mean. I don't want no drama tonight and knowing the two of you, there will be plenty of that."
After they washed up for dinner, they sat down and watched Roman help out their grandparents with placing dinner on the table. Roman kissed Katrina's cheek when he sat down next to her and placed his hand on her leg. Katrina began to feel warm again and smiled along with everyone else as she tried to get her mind to go elsewhere.
"How do you deal with you two being in a relationship while you're at school?" Asked Grandpa, turning his attention to Roman.
Roman thought for a moment as he took a bite of his pork chops. "It's difficult, and I've expressed that to Katrina. I'm the kind of guy that like to show off his girlfriend to everybody and show that he's proud to have her by his side. I want to show people that I'm hers and with me being protective of her, I would go up against any guy that does her wrong. And in school, I don't have the privilage of being able to do that for fear of what may happen. How do I deal with it...luckily I have Katrina to help me through it and I think about how if you truly want something, or in this case someone, you'll do what you have to so that you make sure you have it."
They continued to talk during dinner and Katrina's grandparents couldn't help but smile, every time Roman would steal a glance from her and the look in their eyes when they looked at each other. After desert, they all sat in the living room and watched Anna and Katrina complete a puzzle with some help from Roman. He smiled seeing how close the sisters were with each other, even though they were two years apart.
"Roman, can you come with me?" Asked Katrina's grandfather as he got up from his chair.
Katrina looked up at him and watched Roman stand up and follow the man outside to the porch. She pouted and poked Anna when her sister started it. They felt like little kids again for a few minutes until their grandmother told them to calm down.
Meanwhile, Roman stood outside with one of the most important guys in her life, waiting for him to talk.
"You love my granddaughter, don't you?" He asked softly.
Roman nodded and smiled. "I'm in love with her and I'm crazy about her."
The man smiled. He may have been tall and muscular, but he was gentle and reserved. "The way you look at her and the way that you interact with her...I haven't seen a guy do that in years, let alone with her."
"I can't see myself without her." Said Roman softly. "With her, everything just comes so naturally and time flies by. I can be myself with her and not worry about being judged or thought of differently and I like that. I haven't had the best luck in past relationships and with her, I feel like the luckiest guy in the world."
He looked at Roman and saw that he was being honest with every word that he said. The sound of his voice with those words, were true and genuine.
"Take care of Katrina." He told Roman. "She may be an adult, but she's still my granddaughter and I'll do anything I can to protect her."
Roman nodded, understanding the situation and continued to talk to him for a while longer before they decided to go back in. Katrina smiled when she saw them come back and pecked Roman's lips when he bent down to meet hers.
When they left about half an hour later, Katrina and Roman were happy with how the night went. Katrina was happy that her dad wasn't there, because of the possible argument that may have happened had him and Roman been in the same room together at the same time, but a bit sad too because it could have been a chance for her dad to see at least a part of why she loved Roman so much.
Parking the car in front of Katrina's condo, Roman didn't let go of her hand. "I was wondering..."
It caught Katrina's attention when he paused, as if thinking about how to say what he wanted to get out.
"Before I left, I promised that I would make love to you when I came back." Said Roman. "And I was wondering if I could get the opportunity tonight to show you that I can keep my promise to you."
Katrina smiled and felt butterflies in her stomach when she saw desire in his eyes when he looked at her. "How do I know you won't do the same thing as last time?"
"Because this time around, I won't make the mistake of coming up with any excuse that I can find to avoid it." He replied. "I was stupid and I need to make to make it up to you."
She got out of the car and signaled for Roman to follow her inside. He grabbed a bag from the backseat with some clothes in case he stayed the entire night and followed her into her condo. After settling down, Roman took Katrina into his arms for a kiss that quickly became passionate. It was full of lust and desire as it went on and Katrina quickly allowed Roman's tounge to gain entry into her mouth.
Grabbing a hold of his shirt, Katrina took it off and let it fall to the floor. Kissing his large chest, she felt Roman grab for her blue shirt and allowed him to undress her, revealing the black lace bra and panties that she was wearing. Slightly blushing, Katrina's fingers played with the belt hoops of Roman's pants as they shared another kiss, eventually unbuttoning them and getting them off revealing his boxers.
Taking off the rubber band that held his hair together, Roman stood behind her and traced the tattoo on her spine with his lips, making sure that his hands caressed her body. Hearing her softly moan, his fingers reached her bra and unhooked it. She allowed it to slide off and hit the floor before feeling Roman pick her up when he stood in front of her again and lay her down in the middle of the bed.
Roman gave her soft kisses on the lips before kissing down to her neck. Making his way to her breasts, he continued to caress her body with his large hands and closed her eyes in pleasure. Katrina moaned when he took a nipple into his mouth and had his silky tounge swirl around it before he gently suckled on it. He felt the warmth that was coming from her center, causing an erection to begin forming as he laid in between her legs. Kissing his way down to her stomach, he took off the black lace panties that she had on and put it on the floor with the rest of the clothes.
He placed kisses on her thighs before reaching her center. Katrina moaned in pleasure as his tounge began to pleasure her. She tasted sweet and couldn't help but want more as he continued on.
"Roman..." Moaned Katrina, not wanting him to stop as she leaned her head back into the pillow. A few minutes later, she reached an orgasm and felt her body shake as she did. Roman's erection was becoming painful when he noticed that it threatned to poke out of his boxers.
Katrina noticed the buldge and took it off, revealing the long and thick erection. Roman hissed sharply and groaned when he felt her hands on his erection and covered her mouth with his as she began to play with the tip.
"I have a condom if you want me to use it." He whispered huskily against her lips. Katrina nodded and watched as he leaned over and searched his bag until he found a condom that he could use. He quickly and easily slipped it on, before getting back in between her legs.
Roman slowly entered her wet and tight passage and groaned, holding back from almost releasing. After she had adjusted, he began to gently thrust into her, being careful to not hurt her. But after a while, she found herself digging her manicured nails into his back, wanting more. Katrina leaned up slightly and peppered kisses on his neck and chest, before he did the same to her.
Heat rose between their bodies as they moved together as one. Roman grabbed her hands and laced their fingers together as he continued to thrust into her. Katrina became slightly frustrated at not being able to touch him and heard Roman give a low chuckle near her ear when he noticed before nibbling on her ear.
The thrusts soon became passionate as a climax neared for the both of them. It wasn't long until Katrina found her release and held Roman close to her body before Roman found his after a few more thrusts. Laying together, with their bodies pressed together, they both tried to catch their breaths as Roman's faced was digged into Katrina's neck.
Roman slowly pulled out of her and took off the condom, throwing it away in the bathroom. When he came back into the room, he laid down next to Katrina and took her in his arms, lightly tracing the tattoo on her spine.
"We're not done yet, just so you know." He said when she looked up at him to give him a kiss.
Katrina smiled and found herself growing warm again. "You're my first, you know that?"
Roman nodded as he looked into her blue eyes. "I want to be your last." He whispered as he nudged her nose with his. They shared a kiss and went into another passionate filled round.
The next day...
Roman woke up with Katrina fast asleep in his arms, with her head on his chest and covered with the blankets. They had only gotten about one hour of sleep after making love all night and Roman just wanted to stay in bed all day if he could. Looking at the time, he began to try to wake up Katrina.
"Baby." He whispered as he kissed her forehead. Katrina stirred but stayed asleep. Roman smiled and played with her hair as he watched her sleep peacefully. When she started to wake up a few minutes later, she greeted him with a sleepy smile and Roman couldn't help but give her a kiss.
When they got ready, they made their way to school in Roman's Tahoe. Luckily the windows were tinted enough to where others couldn't easily tell who was inside the car from the outside unless they looked closely enough.
"I'll see you at lunch." Said Roman as leaned over to give Katrina a quick peck on the lips. He had stopped in front of the building that she had her classes in today before finding a parking for the car. "Have a good day, I love you."
"I love you, too." Katrina said with a smile, as she opened the door after making sure that nobody that they knew was around and gave him another kiss. "Have a good day."
Making her way into the building, she bumped into Josh who was talking to a few people. He noticed her and began walking her way as Katrina tried to fix her hair to hide the mark that Roman left near the back of her ear.
"Hey, I didn't see your car." Said Josh after greeting her.
Katrina smiled. "Yeah, I came with one of my friends."
Josh saw that she wanted to go somewhere when she checked the time on her phone, and mentally cursed at himself. "Do you like me? I feel like I may be forcing you to feel something for me that may not be there."
She turned around to face him. "You're a really nice guy. But I only like you as a friend, I'm sorry."
He gave Katrina a small smile. "I understand. I know you probably wonder why all of a sudden it seems as if I care more than what I usually did about us. I find you attractive. You're smart and pretty."
"Thank you, but I have wondered that." Replied Kate. "You're pretty smart yourself. I'm just not interested. I'm so focused on school and trying to graduate, that I don't really pay much attention to guys around here in that way as much as I probably should."
"Do you like someone else?" Asked Josh.
Katrina thought for a moment before responding. "Yeah, I like someone else. He doesn't go to this school though."
She hoped that he wouldn't ask much about this mysterious guy that she liked, to avoid anything being said or done that could hint at the guy being Roman.
"I'm sure there's someone out there for you though, Josh." She added. "It may not be me, but I'm sure that there's somebody for you."
They talked for a few more moments before Katrina went off to the bathroom to fix herself up. She looked in the mirror and saw that she was still wearing one of Roman's sweaters. Luckily nobody has bothered to notice, or care enough to ask about it. She smiled, taking in his scent when she smelled the sweater.
Feeling her phone vibrate, Katrina checked it to see that it was a message from her dad. It read:
Dad: I would like to meet this guy you're dating. I'll be at our favorite restaurant tonight. Meet me at eight.
Katrina groaned, not wanting to face her dad today, especially with Roman, knowing how it all ended when she told her dad about dating him. She texted Roman and got a response from him right away.
Roman: I'll finish practice up a little earlier today since the assistant coach won't be able to make it today. It'll give me more time to get ready.
Katrina: I thought you didn't need that much time to get ready lol.
Roman: You're funny. You know what I mean lol
Katrina: :)
The day went by faster than what Katrina had wanted to, but what helped was that she couldn't keep her mind off of Roman and the moments that they shared well into the early hours of the morning. Finiding Roman before he went to practice, she asked if she could have the keys to his car so that she could take a quick nap in the backseat.
"I want a nap." Pouted Roman as he handed her the keys.
She smiled at the face he made and kissed him when there wasn't anybody around. "You can take a nap with me later tonight."
Roman's face lit up as he nodded. "That sounds like a good idea."
Katrina giggled as his mouth covered hers for a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too, baby." He said as she began to walk away.
A few hours later...
"Roman, we're going to be late." Said Katrina in between kisses as they tried to end their makeout session that eventually ended up in them back in her bed for a little over an hour. They took a quick shower and got dressed.
He squeezed her bottom as she wrapped her legs around his waist, feeling a hard on beginning to form in his pants. Roman growled and put her down gently as he tried to fix his pants. They held hands after getting themselves together and made their way to his car. Katrina fidgeted the entire way there and saw that her dad was getting to the restaurant just as they were. After parking the car, Roman kissed her cheek and tried to calm her nerves.
"I've never had a guy meet my dad before." Katrina said softly. "And with how he reacted when I told him about us, I'm nervous about how he'll react tonight."
"Let's just take it one step at a time okay?" He asked as he stroked the back of her hand with his thumb.
She nodded and got out of the car when he kissed her cheek again. Katrina greeted her dad and watched to see what the reaction would be between Roman and her dad. They just shook hands and introduced themselves and became surrounded by silence as they made their way into the restaurant and ordered a few minutes later.
"What made you want to become a professor and a football coach?" Asked Katrina's father as they waited for their food.
"Well, I went to college to play football in hopes of making it to the pros." Said Roman. "But I also wanted to be a teacher, because I genuinly enjoy being one. I can't explain it, but it's something that I love so I decided to take it up in college in case football didn't work out. Obviously it didn't, so I stuck to being a teacher and found that the closest I could be to football, is by being a coach."
Her dad looked at Katrina and Roman as she sat quietly next to Roman, while he protected her a bit without making it obvious to everyone that of how protective he could be.
"Did you know that Katrina is still a student before you began dating her?" He asked Roman.
"Dad." Katrina said in a slight groan, wanting to avoid this conversation tonight.
Roman shook his head. "It's alright, I'll answer it. I didn't know that she was a student until we introduced ourselves to each other. So yes, I did know before we started dating."
"And that didn't stop you from being with my daughter?"
The waiter bought us all of our food and we thanked him before he left to tend to other customers.
"I'm sorry, Sir." Said Roman. "But we can't control what we feel for other people."
They sat in silence for what seemed like eternity before any one of them spoke again. "If you like her so much then why didn't you wait until she graduated before asking her out? I mean, I personally believe that it would be a good idea for the two of you to stop seeing each other. When she graduates, if your feelings for each other are still there, then by all means, go ahead and continue your relationship."
Roman looked up at Katrina's dad and took a sip of his soda. "With all due respect, Sir, but Katrina and I aren't going to stop seeing each other. I don't even understand why we have to."
"If my daughter gets into trouble before her career even starts because she's with you, I'm definitely going to put the blame on you young man." Said her father. "Katrina has a bright future ahead of her. Hell, she's already accomplished so many things in her life and she will excel when she reaches her goal of being a psychologist. Face it, Roman. As long as she's a student there, the two of you have to keep each other a secret at school to avoid trouble."
Roman stayed quiet for a while, eating his food. Katrina knew that he was biting his tounge to not say anything because of how he could sometimes anger quickly. Katrina tried to lighten up the mood on several occassions but to no avail. It wasn't until they finished eating their food, that Roman spoke again.
"With all due respect, Sir...I'm not going to stop seeing Katrina." Said Roman. "Even if that means that we have to continue keeping our relationship a secret in school so that she doesn't get into trouble, then so be it. But I'm in love with your daughter and I made a promise to myself and to her that I wasn't going to give up on our relationship, no matter how hard it got. I was raised to not give up on what I want and I was raised to go after what I want. I want to be with Katrina and I'm not going to allow somebody to talk me out of being with her for their own personal reasons and I'll be damned if I do. You have a problem with me, fine. But I'm not going to leave her because of it."
"Is that so?" He asked Roman. Katrina saw a change occur in her father's eyes, but she couldn't tell what is was.
"Dad, do not punish me because we're in a relationship." She told her dad.
He looked at his daughter before responding. "Why would the two of you taking a break be punishing you?"
"Because it wouldn't be genuine." Said Katrina. "It'll be for you not wanting us to be together in general. I'm not going to stop seeing him, dad. I'll fight for him too. I'm not going to be unhappy because of someone else."
They sat there in silence once more until they asked for the bill and payed for it. As they walked out, Roman's large hand held Katrina's as they intertwined their fingers together. Katrina looked at her dad and knew that he noticed, but didn't care. Roman was who she wanted to be with and she was content being with him, no matter what her father said about their relationship.
A/N: Their standing up to Katrina's father and fighting for the relationship. Will it benefit them or not?
BTW...Anyone else noticed Dean Ambrose's new ring gear and entrance song? I think they should change it up a bit for Roman Reigns and give him something fresh to go along with the fact that The Shield are not together and Roman and Dean are going their seperate ways. What do you all think?
