CHAPTER 12:

Two days had passed and it was now Monday the 27th and AJ was preparing for another match when she saw Roman walk by with the members of the shield. "Hey! Leati!" she shouted. Dean chuckled. "She still calls you Leati?" he asked. Roman ignored the comment as he walked over. "What is it?" he asked. "I'm literally going on live in 10 minutes". "Didn't you get my message the other day?" asked AJ. "Yeah but I've been kind of busy lately" said Roman. "Are…are you kidding me!?" asked AJ.

"April, can we please talk about this later?" asked Roman. "I'm going live in less than 10 minutes and I really think that we-" AJ cut him off. "We should do what? Talk about it later!? You've left me a hundred dollars and some cheap dollar 'get well' card telling me that you would make it up to me and it's been almost 5 months. When are you ever gonna make it up to me!? You know what!? Just forget it!?" AJ was now shouting, causing everyone else around her to pause.

"In my office now!" said Stephanie sternly. AJ sighed as she walked away and left Roman alone. "Man what is her problem?" asked Dean. "I dunno" said Roman. "Come on man we've got a match to go take care of" said Seth and with that the others walked away, but Roman looked back.

"April what in the hell was that all about?" asked Stephanie. She was very livid. "I dunno" said AJ. "I think I've lost my temper". "Lost your temper?" asked Stephanie. "Roman Reigns has a live match with the rest of the shield in less than 10 minutes and you decide to hash out all of your issues backstage instead of quietly during your personal time?" "Personal time?" said AJ. "April, this…this is truly unacceptable" said Stephanie. "You know that we go live every Monday. What if one of our cameras were to pick up your little charade? It wouldn't be good for the company".

AJ became silent. "I'm sorry Stephanie I really am". "Ok well then that's very good" said Stephanie. "Take this as my warning not to ever do it again. You know the consequences". AJ nodded as she stood up and left Stephanie's office.

After another 40 minutes, both of her and Roman's matches were then now finally complete when she was now preparing to enter into the shower. "Where's April?" Roman asked Tamina. "I dunno" said Tamina. "I think she headed back into the locker room". "Ok thanks" said Roman as he quickly jogged off, ignoring everyone who tried to give him a congratulations on his match.

He finally reached the locker room and saw that AJ wasn't there so he decided to give a quick look around. AJ finally stepped out of the shower and began covering drying herself off with a towel when Roman suddenly entered. He began to watch AJ as she continued her drying. He decided to wait until she had fully wrapped her towel around herself when he approached her in order to avoid further contact.

"April" he said. AJ's face turned red as she quickly turned around. "Leati what are you doing here!?" she asked. "Look I'm sorry I didn't mean to walk in on you" said Roman. "My God Leati how long have you've been standing there?" she nervously asked. "Trust me not long enough to see anything good" said Roman. AJ began to painfully blush. "It's really…hot in here" she said. "Yeah I know" said Roman. "You're blushing". "Look when I said I wanted to talk you, I didn't mean in here while I'm naked" said AJ. "April…" said Roman. "Look I'm sorry that I blew you off before. It's just that I've been really busy with all these bookings and signings lately and my family life".

"You have a family?" asked AJ. "Well of course April" said Roman. "Everyone has a family". "I mean, you're married with children? I didn't know that" said AJ. "What? Heavens no April! That's not what I meant at all" said Roman.

AJ blushed again heavily. This time her heart began pounding so loudly that she could even hear it. "April, are you ok?" asked Roman. "You're as red as tomato, maybe even redder. Maybe you should sit down and relax". "No, no I'm fine" said AJ. "Look April I'm here now so that we can talk" said Roman. "You make me so frustrated" she said. "What do you mean I make you frustrated?" asked Roman. "April I've been nothing more than a friend to you and this is how you treat me?"

AJ remained silent. "I don't understand you at all April. I really don't" said Roman as he began to walk away. But AJ stopped him. "Wait!" she said as she walked up to him. "What is it?" he asked. "What more can you possibly want from me?" AJ became silent again causing Roman to begin walking off again before she stopped him again. "April I-" he said before she cut him off with a kiss. At first he wasn't kissing her back but then eventually he started to and before long he wrapped his arms around her as she pulled him back into the shower. Roman accidentally hit the faucet turning on the warm water as their clothing became soaking wet. Their kisses deepened as AJ couldn't believe that she was actually kissing him.

Everything became extremely hot and steamy around them as AJ decided remove her towel and she began to remove Roman's clothing but she stopped him as he began to remove some of his own clothing by helping her. Everything was removed off of them as their kisses continued to deepen and moaning sounds began. The two of them did not care about being at work in the middle of a live television event. Once inside of her, Roman used a rhythm on AJ that she never experienced before, causing her to cry out in pleasure. He had to continue kissing her in order to muffle the noise. AJ wrapped her arms and legs tighter around Roman, despite the water pouring down on them. Their breathing intensified as Roman removed himself from her and came. He looked down at her as the both of them were in a daze. Did he really just have sex with her? He looked down at his watch but by then it was already destroyed in the water.

"I guess I already took my shower" he said rather calmly. "Yeah I guess" said AJ as she pulled her arm out and began to run her fingers through his soaking wet hair. "Is this what you've been trying to tell me all this time?" asked Roman. AJ nodded as he nodded. "I'm sorry about your watch" she said. "I know" said Roman. AJ pulled him closer to her as she gave him another kiss as they decided to become closer once again.
