Roman-
We made it to a full week back together. I pushed back a meeting to sleep in with Willa. Sleeping in wasn't what we got to do, someone was ringing the doorbell at six thirty in the morning, continuously. I stood and grabbed my shirt off the chair. Making my way down before they woke up Mya. I opened the door and a woman stood there.
"Hi, you must be Roman. I'm Paige, Willa's best friend from California. Well as you can tell by my accent I'm not originally from there", she said, rocking on her heels and smiling.
"Do you have any idea what time it is?", I asked, trying not to raise my voice.
She smiled and nodded.
"I wanted to surprise Will", she said, pushing passed me.
I raised a brow as she took off her coat.
"Mind bringing those in for me big guy, thanks", she said.
She made herself comfortable on my couch and I stepped out to grab her bags. She had four suitcases.
"How long do you plan on staying with us?", I asked.
I closed the door with my foot. Willa came down and a smile formed on her face when she saw Paige.
"Paige", she squealed.
Paige stood and they hugged.
"I missed you so much woman", Paige said.
"What are you doing here?", Willa asked, pulling away from Paige.
"Well you said if I ever missed you that I was welcome to Houston", Paige said.
"I don't think she meant at six in the morning", I said.
"Okay Mr. Grumpy pants", Paige said.
Willa laughed.
"Now where is my peanut?", Paige asked.
"She's sleeping", Willa said.
"Yeah, like we were", I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
Willa sent me a look.
"Oh, were you suppose to ask him if I can come? Look man, sorry, if I knew this was gonna be a big deal I would have called first", Paige said.
Willa shook her head.
"Not a problem, is it Roman?", Willa asked.
"Nope", I said.
Paige looked like she didn't believe me. I looked at Willa.
"I'm gonna go to bed", I said.
"I'll be up there in a few", Willa said.
I nodded and sent a nod to Paige.
Willa-
"You said he was nice", Paige said, sitting down.
"He is, he's just not a morning person", I said, sitting down beside her.
"I don't think he liked me", she said, putting her feet up on the coffee table.
"I repeat, he's not a morning person and I've told you before, when it comes to meeting new people Roman's really reserved. He doesn't trust easily, especially now that people only want to be seen with him because he's Roman Reigns the football star", I said.
"Well when you first spoke of him, he sounded more like a man whore, reserved my ass", Paige said.
I laughed.
"He use to be that way, he's not anymore or at least I hope he's not", I said.
"What about this Rosa chick? Where is she?", Paige asked.
"I don't know, I guess she's with Rob", I said.
Paige nodded.
"What is that?", she asked.
I felt her pick up my hand and she eyed the ring, her mouth fell open.
"That is huge. When did this happen?", she asked.
I smiled.
"Last week", I said.
"Are you happy? Like really happy, over the moon?", she asked.
I smiled and nodded.
"I am, I missed him so much Paige. You were there, you saw me and you were my shoulder to cry on when I missed him", I said.
She squeezed my hand.
"Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night thinking I was just dreaming and I'm gonna turn and he won't be there, but he is. He's real Paige and his arms are around me", I said.
She hugged me.
"I'm happy for you and I'm determined to get him to like me, for your sake", she said.
I giggled and hugged her back.
"Come on, I'm sure you're tired. Let me show you to your room", I said.
I helped her with her bags and took her to the room beside Mya's.
"Thanks Will", she said.
I nodded and went to the room I shared with Roman. He was sitting up in bed, smile on his face.
"What's up with you?", I asked.
"Baby monitor is downstairs. I went to check on Mya and I might have overheard your conversation with your friend", he said.
"That damn baby monitor", I said.
He chuckled and took my hand.
"I haven't been with anyone but you. You are my last, my forever", he said, kissing the back of my hand.
I sat beside him and rested my head against his shoulder.
"I'm not going anywhere Willa, like I know you aren't going anywhere", he said.
I felt him kiss the top of my head.
"Can you do me a favor Rome?", I asked.
"I'll be nice and I'll try to get to know her", he said.
I lifted my head and looked at him.
"Thank you", I said.
"She thinks she's your best friend. She better think twice. I'm your best friend and she better remember that", he said.
I giggled and kissed his cheek.
"Yes you are and I'm yours. Right? Dean better remember that", I said.
"Dean has been fighting for that spot, but he doesn't make it look as sexy as you do babe", he said.
We laughed.
Roman-
Getting to practice, Dean was tossing the ball to JJ Watt.
"Hey sunshine, thought you were sleeping in?", Dean asked.
"I was, but one of Willa's new friends from California showed up at six in the morning. No point in sticking around, I know Will is gonna want to spend time with her", I said.
"Feeling left out?", JJ asked.
"No, I just don't know this woman", I said.
"You see JJ, there is a reason Roman kicked out every woman he slept with, he didn't have to get to know them. He has trust issues. Willa was his exception", Dean said.
"Because we grew up with Willa", I said.
"Do you still trust her, even after everything she did?", JJ asked.
"I do", I didn't even have to think about it.
They nodded.
Willa-
Paige and I had gone shopping with Brie. They got along great. Getting home, we walked in and Roman came down, showered.
"Hey, where did you go?", he asked, taking Mya out of her car seat.
"Shopping, with aunt Paige and aunt Brie", I said.
Paige went over to Roman and held out her hand, smile on her face.
"Hi, I'm Paige Knight", she said.
Roman looked at her hand before taking it.
"Roman Reigns", he said.
I smiled and he winked at me.
"So, I was wondering if we could have a few minutes to talk? Just you and I", Paige said.
He raised a brow before nodding.
"Um, okay sure", Roman said.
Paige was protective and just wanted to make sure that Roman wouldn't go back to his old ways. I had told her everything from beginning up until me running away.
Roman-
We sat down in the chairs near the pool. Paige looked at me.
"So, I've heard a few things about you, mostly bad things from magazines, but Willa says lovely things about you. Anyway I just want to make sure you aren't going to break her heart. If I find out you cheated on her or even raised your voice, I will kick your ass", Paige said.
I chuckled and shook my head.
"First of all, I don't think threatening me is a great first impression. Secondly, I haven't been with another woman since I got with Will", I said.
"Good, keep it that way", she said.
"So you were her roommate back in Cali?", I asked.
She nodded.
"She was, I think almost three months when I met her. She was talking about moving out of her mom's house, that the woman was driving her crazy", Paige said, sitting back.
"Sounds like her mom", I said.
"You know what her mom did?", she asked.
"Yeah, I was there. Do you?", I asked.
She nodded.
"That was a shitty thing to do to your child. Willa is such a good person to accept her mother's apology", she said.
"She hated her mom for a long time. I think she was just tired of being angry", I said.
Paige smiled.
"What?", I asked.
"When Willa told me you and her were best friends I thought she was exaggerating, but you two are really best friends", she said.
I nodded.
"Couldn't ask for a better one", I said.
