A/N: I only own OCs. Thanks for the reviews & feedback.
John POV
I woke up to someone knocking on my door. I opened it and already knew who it was; it was Quinn.
"Nightmare?" I asked her and she nodded.
"Come on." I said and she followed me inside.
"I'm glad you didn't try to get any tonight." she said and I smirked.
"Who says I didn't kick them out already." I said and she sat on the side of the bed as I laid down.
"Man whore." she said.
"And good at it." I said with a chuckled.
She laid down and cuddled to me. I had found out about her nightmare when she had to crash at my place one night. They are violent and scary. I don't know why, but we have a calming presence on each other. I was just grateful to have a friend like her.
We got up a few hours later and headed to the airport. We were flying to Australia for some shows. A lot of the other talents were flying tonight after the show, but since I wasn't fighting and the Shield had injuries we weren't required to be there. We arrived, checked in, and went to wait in the lounge. I had upgraded both our tickets from business to first class; it was a long ass flight.
Quinn POV
We had been on the plane for a little while and I just wanted sleep. I was scared to sleep since I knew my nightmares were terrors instead of bad dreams you could shake off. I felt John put my hand on my arm and knew that was his way of comforting me. I finally fell asleep and woke up when the place was descending.
"Thanks." I told him as we were going to get our bags.
"Whatever." he mumbled and refused to take credit for helping me. He could be a cocky SOB, but he was humble to me and that's what mattered.
I watched as we took a car into Melbourne. I was amazed at how pretty the city was; I had never been to Australia.
"We are going to walk around the city after we check in." John said and I nodded in agreement. I was excited to be there.
Roman POV
We all arrived in Melbourne around 3 that afternoon and I was dead tired. I just wanted to go to sleep. We checked into our room and headed to the elevator. I was going to get onto it when Quinn came walking out.
"Hey! I didn't know you all were here yet." she said and I nodded.
"Just got here… what are you doing?" I asked her.
"Going to walk around. You want to meet for dinner tonight?" she asked me and I nodded; it was the first good thing I had heard since I had been cramped on the airplane with Seth talking nonstop.
"Great, I will meet you in the lobby 7?" she asked me and I nodded again. I watched her walk outside as the elevator door closed. I just wanted sleep.
Quinn found me in the lobby at 7. I tried to hide my disappointment when I saw she was with Dean, Nattie, John, Randy, Brie, and Daniel.
"Get enough sleep?" she asked me and I nodded.
"Where are we heading?" I asked them and everyone started to make suggestions.
"There is a good fish place about 2 blocks away." Randy said; we all agreed on that. They had all been here before, so we relied on their suggestions.
I was walking beside Quinn when I took her hand. I knew that it was a little forward, but I couldn't help it. I just had to hope that she didn't slam me tot aground for touching her. She looked down at our hands and kept on walking; it was progress.
Brie POV
I turned to see where everyone was and I spotted Quinn and Roman holding hands. I was excited!
"Look." I said to Daniel and he turned to see it. He smiled and kept walking.
"Don't embarrass them." he warned me and I nodded.
We got to the place and ordered food.
"I'm going to the bathroom, come on." I said to Quinn. She walked with me and I hugged her as soon as we walked inside. She was taken back, but returned the hug.
"I saw you and Roman." I said and she blushed a little.
"How long?" I asked her.
"I don't know… he just took my hand tonight." she said and I was so happy for her.
"I think it's great." I said and she smiled. She was starting to open up more, but didn't really seem comfortable some times.
We went back and the food came a few minutes later. I couldn't help but smile when Roman would sneak looks at Quinn or help her in some way. They were so cute together. I just didn't know how a few other people would take this.
Quinn POV
We got done eating and they all wanted to go out to a local pub. I wasn't much into that scene so I opted to go back to the hotel. I had seen a cute park on the way here, so I was going to stop there.
"I'm going back with Quinn." Roman said and they all nodded.
"So… was your hand just cold?" I asked him and he blushed.
"Maybe, or maybe I wanted to hold your hand." he said and I nodded as we came up to the park. I walked over and sat beside the fountain. He joined me and looked at me.
"Do you mind if I hold your hand?" he asked me and I looked at him.
"Roman, I don't know…" I was saying when he sighed.
"No, I haven't dated anyone in years…I'm not exactly warm and friendly, and don't really know how to do it." I admitted. He smirked and shook his head.
"And, that's why I want to date you. I want to get to know you. I am impressed by everything I have seen from you… so can I get to know you?" he asked me.
"Yeah… you can, but just know that this is going to take time for me to get used to… can you understand that?" I asked him and he smirked.
"If I wanted clingy and slutty I had plenty of other options." he said and I laughed. He was right about that.
A/N: Please review :)
