After finishing up with the smackdown tapings, The Shield showered once again and got all of their things together. They were so happy that were finally able to get some rest. They worked non stop for the past week due to wrestlemania so they were happy to get some breathing room in their own homes for the rest of the week.

"So what's your plan? You want to talk to Jessica first so you have to wait until next week to talk to Renée? What's the plan?'' Dean asked curiously.

"I honestly don't know. What if I talk to Jessica first and Renée doesn't even feel the same way about me? I have to know if Renée likes me first. Dude, does she ever talk about me when you guys are traveling together?''

Dean bursted out laughing. "You sound...l-like a f-fucking...teenager!'' the U.S. champion got a hold of his stomach when he felt the pain of laughing to hard. "Oh shit..." he stood up straight and could see the intense look in Roman's eyes. "Okay okay, it's out of my system. Umm, she does talk about you but nothing really interesting stands out. She talkes about the whole roster the same way. Nothing but positive things.'' he shrugged. Dean had heard every single opinion that Renée had on the superstars and divas...they were all positive. It didn't really surprise him though because that's just how the interviewer was. Her personality was one of a kind. He wasn't even sure how he became so close to her but he was glad he did. She was an awesome friend and he personally thought that something good could happen between her and Roman. Of course, Jessica was in the way so he wasn't so sure what to think at the moment.

"Well that doesn't really help.'' Roman sighed. He was so unsure of what to do. The decision on which female to approach first was the debate going on in his head. Then again, he was going home in that moment so it's not like he had much of a choice really. He would have to talk to Jessica first. There was no way he would bump into Renée between their locker room and his rental car. He grabbed his bags and stood up from the couch. "I'll talk to you guys later.''

Dean and Seth nodded. "Let us know what happens man and if you need anything as well.'' Seth clapped his hand on Roman's shoulder. The Samoan nodded and stepped out of the locker room. He made his way through the corridor and pulled his phone from out of his jeans pocket when he felt it vibrating. He continued to walk, his head down looking at his phone and not really paying attention to where he was going. He sighed as he saw it was a text from Jessica.

Can't wait for you to get home. I made your favorite food. You deserve it after the exhausting week you had. I love you.

Roman shook his head. Jessica must really love him. They spent the entire week together with their daughter and as soon as she goes back home, she makes him his favorite food. "I'm such a fucking asshole!" Roman grunted out loud. He looked up from his phone for a second and clashed with another body that was way smaller and petite. He looked down and saw that it was Renée who had fallen to the ground. He gulped and stuck his hand out. "Fuck, are you umm, okay Renée?''

The blonde's face turned red as she nodded and accepted his hand. She glanced down at their connected hands and then quickly pulled away. The feeling was too great.

"Are you sure? I bumped you down pretty hard...because of my big ass.'' he smirked.

Renée giggled and looked up at him. "I'm okay, really. So, why exactly are you calling yourself an asshole?'' She raised an eyebrow.

This time around, Renée wasn't as nervous talking to Roman and she had no idea why. She felt relaxed and actually comfortable. Loving the feeling, she decided not to question it at the moment. Roman was the same way. He stuffed his cellphone back in his pocket without texting back to Jessica. He had completely forgotten what he was doing with his phone. It was as if he and Renée levitated to another world. Their own world. It sounded so stupid but that's how Roman saw it. It was weird but he loved it. He smiled at her. "I was just rambling about something...I don't know.'' he shrugged and looked away for a second before looking back into her hazel eyes. They locked eyes for a while until Renée looked away. Those eyes of his created butterflies in her stomach.

"Well umm, I better go. I don't want to miss my flight back home.'' she smiled at him.

'Umm, Renée wait...'' Renee stopped walking and turned to look at him. Roman knew this was his chance to talk to the blonde and set everything straight. He approached her and opened his mouth but nothing would come out. He felt like an idiot standing there not saying anything. How could he possibly just ask her if she had feelings for him? That would be totally random and he wasn't so sure that was the best way to go. He was absolutely clueless about how to bring up the topic.

"What is it?'' Renée furrowed her eyebrows. She saw confusion and fear in those grey eyes. Yeah, Roman Reigns had fear? Sure it sounded imposssible but that's what Renee saw. She was confused just like he seemed to be. What is he trying to tell me? She asked herself.

"Umm...'' Roman sighed and shook his head, stepping back. "Nevermind. Enjoy the rest of your week.'' Roman walked past her and he could smell the perfume that she was wearing. She smelled like sweet peaches. As he walked further, he felt someone grab his bicep. Turning around, he saw that it was Renée herself.

"Roman, what were you going to tell me? I doubt you stopped me just to tell me to have a great week.'' she bit her lip as she looked up at him. Now, she was extremely nervous. He was acting weird towards her so she now had the impression that he knew. He was smart enough and probably figured out that she liked and/or loved him. He must want to tell me that nothing can happen between us. Could that possibly be it though? Renee had no idea what to think anymore. Maybe she was just seeing things.

"It was nothing really. You should go before you miss your flight.'' Roman smiled weakly at her. Renee sighed and nodded. As soon as she walked away, Roman regretted not telling her. "Fuck! I'm such a dumbass.'' the Samoan walked back to the locker room and was relieved that Dean was still in there.

"You forgot something?'' Dean looked over his shoulder at him.

"Nah, I wanted to ask you for a favor.''

"Sure. What's up?''

"I need you to give me Renee's address in New York.''

"Umm why? Did you decide to talk to her first?''

"Yeah. I ran into her right now and I totally backed out.'' Roman rolled his eyes.

"Seriously? You had a chance to talk to her and you pussied out?'' Dean grunted and then laughed. "You really got it bad don't you?''

"Stop laughing asshole. Are you going to give me her address or not?''

"Yes but what about Jessica? You're going to lie to her?''

"Crap.'' Roman sighed. He didn't want to but he had to make an excuse in order to go to New York. He grabbed his phone and dialed her number.

"Hey baby. Are you getting on the plane?'' Jessica asked as soon as she answered.

"Not exactly. Change of plans. Umm, Vince wanted me umm, fly to New York...promotional stuff.'' he winced as he lied right through his teeth.

"Promotional stuff? You guys just did Wrestlemania and he wants you to promote the company some more? Doesn't he think you need a break or something?'' Jessica sounded kind of irritated. She was concerned that Roman was taking on too much and she didn't want the company to wear him out.

"I know baby, trust me I'm fine. It's going to be real quick and then I'll fly right back home.'' he heard Jessica sigh on the other line.

"Fine. Be careful and I guess I'll see you when I see you.''

"Put Janelle on the phone.'' Roman was referring to their daughter.

"She's sleeping babe.''

Roman sighed. "Okay I'll be home as soon as I can. Bye.''

"Bye. I love you.''

"Umm, me too. Bye.'' Roman hung up the phone and groaned in frustration. He couldn't tell her he loved her anymore. It was more serious than he thought. Now, he was sure that he was making the right decision to go visit Renée.

"Nice one Roman.'' Dean smirked and handed him a piece of paper that had Renee's address on it. "Good luck man.''

"Thanks. I think I'm going to need it.'' He said his goodbye to his stable mate and headed out the locker room once again. Heading to the airport, it dawned on him what he was doing. He was actually going all the way to New York, for Renée. He smiled as he pictured her smile and those hazel eyes looking back into his grey ones. In the back of his mind, he felt guilty obviously for lying to his fiancée but for some reason, he felt like this was the right thing to do. He had to do it. He wasn't sure what would come out of it and didn't know how to explain everything to Renée. He would just go with the flow, he guessed.

Author's Note: Hope you enjoyed chapter 2! I mentioned in the first chapter that this wasn't going to be a long story but now, I'm not sure how long it will be. Nonetheless, I hope you are all enjoying it :)

"P.S.- I wasn't sure what color Renee's eyes were so I just went with Hazel. Also, I'm cluseless as to what Roman's daughter's name is so I just decided with Janelle :)
