Mistletoe - Roman Reigns

Let's decorate the Christmas party room together she said, it'll be fun she said, right before she ditched me in favour of a night out with her boyfriend. Now here I am decorating this huge room alone and I'm beginning to think I will never get it done.

I wasn't even going to this party, I didn't have a date and I refused to spend another evening standing on my own, or more accurately staring at a man I could never have. I had had a thing for Roman for as long as I could remember, he was the epitome of tall, dark and handsome and I have never been able to work up the courage to talk to him.

Sure we said hello and shared small talk but thats as far as it went, a couple of times I've tried to ask him out but my words caught in my throat and I just ended up looking like an idiot. Sighing I pick up a garland and walk over to the sid eof the room, reach up I try to hang it but the hook was just out of my reach. This is why I need Kaitlyn she was alot taller than me.

"Here let me help" a deep voice says as a large hand takes the garland from me causing me to jump and almost fall backwards before a strong arm catches me. "Woah sorry didn't mean to scare you" he says as I look up at him

"Roman? What are you doing here?" I ask surprised to see him here

"Kaitlyn said you needed some help decorating" he says standing me up straight, I'd been so surprised to see him I had forgotten I was leaning back on his arm

"Of course she did" I say rolling my arms "look I appreciate the offer but please don't feel obligated to help me"

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be y/n" he smiles "now where do you want this hanging?" He asks

"On that hook just up there" I say pointing it out "and thanks" I say before turning my attention to the other decorations.

I busy myself decorating the tree that Kaitlyn felt we needed while Roman dealt with all the high stuff, it hadn't taken me long to figure out exactly what my best friend had tried to do here and while I was greatful for the help I knew her efforts were going to go to waste.

"Hey y/n could you come and check I've hung this right?" Roman calls out and I walk over to where he's stood, I look up at the garland and chuckle softly "it's a little wonky on this side" I smile.

"Really let me see" he says moving so he is stood right behind me, so close that I can smell his cologne "huh so it is, give me one second" he says.

I watch as he straightens it up and comes tomstand behind me once again "thats better" he says and I nod "yeah much better, we make a good team" when my comment is met with silence I turn to find him looking up, I follow his gaze to find a sprig of mistletoe hanging above us and I immediately feel awkward.

"It's um it's a stupid tradition" I say moving out from under it "always end up having to kiss some one you don't like"

"You don't like me y/n?" He asks and I immediately regret what I said

"No, of course I do" I say "I've just had some bad experiences with that stuff"

"Yeah me too" he chuckles "so what's left to do?"

"Ok there's some lights to hang up around the stage area and I think that's it" I say "I just need to finish the tree"

As Roman heads over to the stage area I mentally kick myself, I had a chance and I blew it and I almost hurt his feelings at the same time. As I hang ornaments on the tree I steal occasional glances at Roman and I kept help but wonder if he wanted to kiss me or if it was just my comment that disappointed him.

Grabbing the star I reach up to put it in top of the tree but once again it's out of my reach, I'm about to ask Roman to help when I feel arms wrap around me and my feet leave the floor, I look down to see Roman holding me and he smiles "now you can reach it" he smiles.

I place the star on the tree and he let's me down slowly, we stand there for a moment him with his hands on my hips, me with my hands resting on his chest just looking at each other, until he clears his throat.

"Um I just need you to check the lights and then I think we are done" he says nervously.

I follow him over to the stage area and look at the lights "they're perfect, thanks for all your help today Roman I appreciate it"
Once again I'm met with silence and I turn to find him looking up at again, once again we are stood under mistletoe, I find myself glancing over to where the other piece was only to find it gone.

When I look at Roman he is smirking at me and then it dawns on me "did you move it?" I ask and he smiles

"Yeah I did" he says closing the gap between us "becuase I've been wanting to do this for a long time" he says leaning in and pressing his lips against mine. The kiss is soft and gentle and I find myself melting into it as I wrap my arms around his neck.

Breaking the kiss he rests his head against mine for a moment before looking at me "I can give you a ride back to the hotel if you like?" He says "unless of course you'd like to have dinner with me?"

"I'd love to" I smile, Roman smiles and presses a long kiss to my lips before taking my hand in his and walking me out to the car.

Maybe mistletoe wasn't such a stupid tradition after all.
