Thank you to Neisha03Ty, DeeMarie426 and justkimmy for reviewing :)

A/N: I know it's been a while since I've uploaded anything for this story and I would like to apologize. There's been a few things that have come up that have kept me busy and have kept me from putting as much attention as I would like to this story. Hopefully this chapter would somewhat make up for it. I hope everyone enjoys :)

The last few days have been exciting for Katrina and Roman. They began looking for a place to live as well as getting ready for the new semester. Roman had to go in a few days earlier than what Katrina had to so that he could get his classes ready. Things between Katrina and her father had been easing up a bit and getting back to the way that it used to be and she was happy that it was. Her father was finally trying to understand what she was feeling and seemed to have an easier time accepting their relationship and understand their situation.

Two months later...

Roman and Katrina had moved into their new house about a month ago and they couldn't be happier. Yes, it was tricky when it came to people they knew wanting to come over if they didn't know about the couple, yet they somehow managed to deal.

Katrina, only having two classes for the semester, only had to go to school two days out of the week. She was surprised that she only had two classes left to take, but it was the only two that she still needed in order to graduate in May. Once she was done for the day, Katrina walked to the building that Roman would be teaching a class in and saw his students walking out of the room. Katrina blended into the sea of students that were invading the hallway from every room and from every direction, hoping to not get noticed. She walked into the room and saw Roman getting his things together and rubbing his face in his hands when he sat back in his chair.

"Hey, you." Katrina said sweetly when she reached his desk. Looking up, he smiled at her and felt a little better.

"Hey, beautiful." He replied, giving her a wink and a smile. "You're done for the day?"

Katrina nodded. "Yeah and I don't know what else to do. I cleaned the entire house yesterday while you were sleeping, out of boredom because I didn't have to come to school yesterday. Are you feeling any better?"

Roman had gotten a stomach virus that was going around, from something that he had eaten. He called in sick yesterday, so she took care of him. Fortunately, he was feeling a bit better today and decided to come to work.

"Yeah, I'm okay." He replied. "My body and my head is just killing me right now and I'm hungry but I don't feel like eating anything."

Katrina turned on her heels and went to close the door. Coming back, she saw Roman stand up and rest his arms on her waist.

"Reading my mind?" She asked with a soft smile.

Roman responded with a smile of his own. "Maybe." He leaned down and gave her a sweet kiss. "Don't make any plans for tonight."

"Why not?" She asked, still with her hands on his big and strong arms.

"Because I have something planned for us tonight." Roman replied. "I promise, it'll be good."

Katrina nudged his nose with hers when she smiled. "I love you."

"I love you, too Baby." He replied with a sweet, but quick peck. Roman watched as she left and couldn't wipe the silly smile that he knew he had on his face. Katrina had completely turned him into a huge softie and he was surprised at how he would literally drop anything for her and how he would do just about anyhting to make her happy. Roman's world was quickly beginning to revolve around her and she held on tightly to his heart and wasn't letting go anytime soon.

Later that night...

Katrina had gotten home and decided to take a hot shower to help her relax. It had felt like a long day to her after finishing up two papers for a class and being school just about all day, trying to get it done. When she was finished, the aroma of food from the kitchen filled her nostrils. Katrina closed her eyes and felt her mouth water at the smell.

Getting dressed, she walked out of the bedroom and saw the kitchen dimly lit with candles. Roman had just finished setting up the table and the food looked incredible. It was her favorite food, alfredo with shrimp, rice with beans and fried plantains.

"Where did you learn how to make all of this?" She asked him softly as she continued to walk into the kitchen with a smile on her face.

"I looked up the recipes and tried to follow the intructions on how to make it." He responded. "I practiced over at Dean's place so that it would be good for when I made it for you. I wanted to surprise you with this."

Katrina looked up at him, into his grey eyes and melted as her heart swelled with happiness and love. "You are very adorable and sweet."

Roman smiled as his hands went to the nape of her neck. After sharing a few kisses, they sat down and Roman watched as she tried each dish.

"This is really good." She mumbled after trying the food. He smiled, proud of himself for the good of a job that he did in cooking.

Roman looked at the curves of her body and the curves on her face. The way she smiled when she was happy and the way her blue eyes looked into his. He smiled at the way she danced as if there was nobody watching her and how happy it made her to be on stage doing something that she loved and how it made her be open for everybody to see.

Katrina's touch made him weak and made his heart race a little faster. She did to him what no other woman ever could and Katrina took him places that no other woman could either. Roman's mood changed along with her's, making him feel as if they were as one, emotionally. It surprised him how much someone could easily affect his mood without realizing that they had that ability.

She meant the world to him and not once did he realize that when they first met almost a year ago, that he would be head over heels for this woman that's sitting in front of him now. Katrina makes him the happiest guy in the world and he feels like he's on top of the world. Roman was proud that he got to call her his and vice versa. He doesn't even remember much of what it was like without her in his life but he was one hundred percent sure that he didn't want to be reminded of it.

Three hours later, Katrina was cuddled at his side on the blankets and pillows that they laid on in front of the fire place in the living room. They had just spent the last two hours making love and Katrina couldnt' ask for a better night. She lightly traced the tattoo on his chest, feeling him gently rub her back. Katrina was snuggled underneath a blanket, while Roman only had the waist down covered.

Reaching for his jeans, Roman took something out of his pocket. Katrina looked up and saw a small box in his hands. She propped herself up on her elbow to get a better look on what was going on. Roman opened the box and showed a simple platnium band with a few small diamonds on it.

"It's a promise ring." He said softly. "I know it's not much, but I was hoping that you could take it as a sign of commitment from me." Katrina choked up, feeling tears in her eyes. "Is that happy tears?"

Katrina nodded when she realized that he was beginning to think that she was upset. "I wasn't expecting it. But it makes me really happy. What are we promising though?"

"I'm promising to be yours forever." Roman replied as he wiped the tears from her eyes with the pads of his fingers when he sat up. "I'm promising to be the best man that I can ever be to you. I'm not promising that it'll be perfect, but I promise to give you the best love that I can."

Roman took the ring and slipped it on her slender finger. Katrina straddled him as he laid back down. Smiling down at him after taking another look at her ring, she kissed him. Roman's arms snaked around her waist until his hands began to travel up her back and her sides. It wasn't long until they began another round of passionate love making.

The next day...

Katrina and Roman woke up the next day, still in each other's arms. They were still in the living room, on the floor surrounded by pillows and blankets. Katrina looked at her hand and smiled happily at the promise ring that he had given her last night. Feeling Roman beginning to move around, she looked up and saw the sleepy smile on his face and his hair in a mess.

They stayed in each other's embrace a while longer before taking a shower, not even paying attention to the time as they made love even more. Their love making had become more passionate and lasted a little longer until they couldn't physically go any further.

Katrina checked her phone when they got out, and saw that she had gotten a text from her father while she was in the shower.

"Roman, my dad wants to go out to lunch with you." She told him.

He looked at her curiously as he walked around, still with just a towel wrapped around his waist. "Just me?"

She nodded after a few moments. "Yeah, he said he wanted to have lunch with just you today at one. He didn't give a reason though."

Roman shrugged. "I guess. I don't want him to think I'm wanting to ditch him."

Katrina gave him the name and address of the place that her dad wanted to meet him and Roman began to get ready. They had spent the entire morning being intimate and Roman now had a little over an hour to meet up with her father.

"I'll go hang out with Derek." Said Katrina as she got dressed. "I need to get a manicure."

Roman chuckled as she made a face while she looked at her nails and kissed her lips. "I love you."

She smiled. "I love you, too."

A/N: I know this chapter is a bit shorter than what I usually do for this story, but I promise to try to make the next one a bit longer.

Side note: Even though it may not be Roman's time right now to be champ, I know that he'll eventually be WWE World Heavyweight Champion one day. It's in his future, no doubt about it.
