ROMAN POV:

We ended up pulling into a Nando's, just off the main highway.

I quickly jumped out the car, and ran round to the passenger side to let Faith out...Damn, she looked just as sweet as I remembered, especially in the cute skinny jeans and white lacey top she was wearing. Come on man, don't stare! Don't creep her out the first time she's alone in your company...I scolded myself.

Faith was right though, it really was hot here in downtown LA, so I took my track jacket off, and chucked it back inside the car, turning just in time to catch Faith giving me the once over look...mmm, that's the second time I caught you staring at me baby girl...I smiled to myself.

With her blushing shyly at me like I'd seen her do before, I took the opportunity to boldly hold her hand as I grinned and said and ''Let's go eat babygirl''

It was surprisingly busy when we got inside, but we were lucky as it was a pretty big Nando's and they had plenty of seating upstairs. Once up top, I quickly found us a nice quiet booth in a nice quiet corner to sit in, as I could see people already staring at us the moment we walked in, most probably fans.

It was like that almost everywhere I went now. My brothers and I in the shield had made quite an impact in WWE so far, and in such a short amount of time too. We had practically become household names overnight, and the fame followed both quick and fast.

Before Faith and I even had a chance to look over our menus, a group of teenagers had quickly swarmed their way over to our booth.

''Your Roman Reigns right?!'' an excited ginger haired girl screamed loudly in my ear.

''That's right'' I smiled warmly at her.

''OH MY GOD! I TOLD YOU GUYS!'' she yelled ''Can I take a picture with you? Please! Please! Please!'' she asked even more excited now.

''Of course sweetie'' I smiled politely, then quickly mouthed the words ''I'm sorry'' to Faith, while the girl fumbled in her bag for her camera phone.

She winked at me mouthing back...''it's okay''

As much as I loved all my fans, and the fame that came along with being the big dog Roman Reigns, it also made me realize and appreciate so much more the essence of alone time. I just hoped that Faith wouldn't be to irritated by all this, but at the same time I guess she too would soon would be dealing with her own fame and fans.

After that first picture, pretty much all the teenagers, and a few adults were requesting pictures and autographs with me. I remained patient, as I always love to give my fans what they wanted...plus Faith was watching my every move too, ha ha! I'm certainly not one to show off about my fame or anything, but tonight I definitely felt more like a celebrity tonight with Faith by my side.

Just then an idea popped into my head... ''hey guys, you may wanna get this lovely ladies picture and autograph too'' I smiled, putting my arm round Faith ''she's one of our newest divas on the roster, and you'll be seeing her real soon on the WWE Network'' I grinned.

She looked at me panicked for moment, as all the teenagers suddenly rushed up to her and began demanding pictures and autographs too. I felt a little bad, but in seconds she relaxed and actually seemed to be really enjoying herself.

15 MINUTES LATER...

''Ok guys, see you round'' I said, as we waved bye to the satisfied teenagers then turned and grinned at each other.

''Woa!'' she said looking at me exhausted ''That was crazy!''

''Get used to it babygirl, this is just the beginning'' I smiled at her ''So, what did your first brush with fame feel like?'' I chuckled.

''Weird...but a good weird. I guess still can't believe all this is happening to me'' she said with a soft smile.

I smiled too holding her gaze for a second, unable to believe just how sweet and humbled she was about all this, and I immediately thought back to the first time I had laid eyes on her...

My brothers and I had just come from re-signing our contracts down at WWE headquarters, when suddenly Stephanie stopped us in our tracks and introduced us all to Faith. I vividly remember not being able take my eyes off of her beauty. I mean, it was just so rare to see one of the Divas looking so unique and sophisticated. By that I mean, when you're in the wrestling profession like I am, one gets to see a lot of hot talent every day, and I do mean a lot, but not all of it is peaches and cream as one might think. I guess I should consider myself lucky really, being surrounded by some of the sexiest bodies in the business, and these girls are not at all shy let me tell you, what with them strutting round the backstage area wearing next to nothing between matches. Now don't get me wrong I'm still a man, and I still looked, and of course it was incredibly exciting to see at first, especially for a young dude such as myself. And while it's okay for the other guys to still gawk and stare, after a time it all just got a bit too much for me. I'm talking the over the top hair and makeup, heels that put porn stars to shame, and nails that'll scratch your eyes out (and hey, this is all when they were in their own clothes), so when I first saw Faith, believe me when I say it was like a breath of fresh air. I remember smiling at just how sophisticated and elegant she looked in her sleek black catsuit...not a sight I will ever forget. It was weird, but also I remember feeling this instant need to look out for her or something, like she had a fragile heart and a soft nature that needed looking after. So when I got the call from Dean that Paige couldn't pick her up from the airport today, I practically jumped at the chance to do it.

''Shall we get some drinks before we order babygirl?'' I asked her.

''Um sure, I guess I'll have a pineapple juice'' she grinned.

''With?''

''Um...with ice?'' she shrugged sweetly.

I chuckled, and she looked at me confused.

''Don't you drink?'' I asked her curiously.

''I drink, just not alcohol'' she replied smoothly.

I looked at her amazed, because I don't think I've ever met a girl in my entire life who didn't drink. I immediately added that to the list of things I already liked about her.

''So, what we having babygirl?'' I smiled, while handing her a menu.

''Well, I'm a big Nando's fan, so I guess I'll order my favorite, the sunset burger'' she laughed happily.

''Mmmn sounds good, I'll have the same'' I responded licking my lips at her.

She immediately went red in the face, just like in the car when I rolled the window down for her. It seemed I always made her blush, but it was early days yet for me to tell if that was a good blush or an embarrassed one, so I just tried to keep some light conversation going in the hopes that she would relax a little around me.

''So, you sure this is all ok for you? Being here with me I mean'' I asked nervously ''... because, well, I know you were expecting Paige tonight, and if I know you ladies, you probably had some girly things y'all wanted to do'' I chuckled ''but if you're jet lagged or something, I could just drop you off at the hotel...''

''Roman stop'' she chuckled ''I'm perfectly happy here with you. I mean, I'm new in town you know, and it's just nice to see a handsome face - OH GOD!I mean a friendly face! A friendly face! Oh, I don't know why I said that, you're right I must be jet lagged from the flight or something! I mean, 7Hours is a long time you know, and this heat, phew! Did I mention how hot it is? So um, where's the waiter with our food...'' she said, pretending to look round the restaurant, while trying to conceal her redder than red face from my amusing grin.

''Breathe babygirl'' I chuckled ''but thank you though'' I smiled, tying not to laugh at her cute little mishap.

Just then the waiter came over with our food, and I saw Faith sighing in relief as if saved by the bell.

We watched as the waiter set our food down, all sizzling hot, looking and smelling absolutely delicious!

''Good choice with the chicken platter'' I said happily ''Enjoy!''

''Thanks!'' she grinned ''let's tuck in''

Just then, her phone began ringing...

''Your late'' she said jokingly into the revive, to whom I assumed was Paige ''no its all good babe, I'm here with Roman actually...yeah I thought Dean told you. Well not just yet, we're getting something to eat...Saraya shut up! Ha ha! Yeah Nando's, the one just off the LAX highway...uh sure, ok....how long? Oh yeah, we'll still be here. Ok girl, see you in bit. Bye'' she said, closing the phone and looking over at me.

''Sorry about that'' she said with a sheepish grin ''I hope you don't mind, that was Paige and she and Dean are on their way to come meet us both for a bite to eat. They just finished their matches and said they were starving. Plus I guess after we can all travel to the hotel together, that cool?'' she asked shyly.

''Of course babygirl, they're my friends too'' I grinned at her.

''Oh yes, of course'' she blushed, and immediately began digging into food.

Okay, so I'm always happy to see both Paige and Dean, they're my buddies and I love them. But truth is, I was kinda hoping now that it would just be me and Faith this evening.

I noticed her eating rather quickly as she appeared to be really enjoying her food, and I immediately had to stifle a small chuckle over just how cute she looked, as I watched a bit of sauce drip from her lips down onto her plate. Hmm, let's see if I can have some fun with you babygirl...

''So Faith...you were saying something about me handsome?'' I said out the blue, and my direct comment caused her to immediately cough out loudly, while sputtering food everywhere as she went bright red in the face again.

As for me however, I immediately doubled over with laughter at her classic reaction ''oh goodness, I'm so sorry babygirl, I just couldn't help myself'' I said, still laughing away as I handed her tissue.

''I'm glad I amuse you Mr. Reigns, but now I'll have to find a way to get you back'' she said raising her eyebrows cutely at me, while trying to look intimidating. Little did she know, it just made her look even more adorable.

''Well then, bring it on babygirl...'' I smiled, leaning my face closer to hers, as I slowly looked down at her lips, then back into her beautiful eyes ''...because I love me a good challenge''

She blinked her eyes a few times, then bit her lip looking all nervous as I leaned even closer...

Just then Paige and Dean, with the what I can only classify as the worst timing in the world, suddenly came bounding over to our table ''WHAT'S UP BITCHES!!!''Paige yelled at the top of her lungs
