Meeting the Shield in a cafe

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

"So that girl in the cafe we saw earlier," Seth started saying while they were preparing for a promo during the taping of Raw.

"Ria, the shy pretty girl."

"She seemed pretty okay with you just walking over and sitting down at her table." Seth commented.

Dean smiled with confidence, "I have my ways."

"Yeah, sure." Roman teased.

"Shut up Roman."

"You plan on seeing her again?" Seth continued questioning Dean.

"Yeah, I'd like to see her today, I think I promised her that I'd be in the cafe again, but I'm here..."

"She's going to think you stood her up!"

"If I see her later tonight, I'll make it up to her."

Ria sat in the cafe alone, it's almost closing time and there's no sign of Dean. She felt silly waiting for a man she just met the other day, but something told her to keep waiting. Her patience paid off when the cafe suddenly burst to life as the blonde haired man from yesterday, Dean Ambrose entered the cafe.

She played it shy like she was yesterday only this time she's just pretending. It's hard to act like you're trying to hide in a nearly closed cafe of five people.

"Trying to hide again?" He asked when he approached her table in the same fashion as the previous day.

"Nope, I was just seeing how long it would take you to see me. I was starting to doubt you would show up."

"I have the eyes of a hawk and the memory of a goldfish at times. Sorry I was held up at work."

"I've been there before, it's a complete day ruiner when that happens."

"You didn't have to wait for me, you could have gone home."

"Nah, I had my day off today while everyone else I know seems to be working or at school. I was quite content sitting here being around familiar faces. Are you hungry, I've been sitting here yapping away and didn't bother asking if you want food."

"I'm fine I ate well snacked on the way here."

"Avoiding any and all chance of this meeting being called a 'date,'" she laughed.

"Sounds about right, unless you want to call it a date."

"I think I'll wait to label our second meeting."

The cafe reached closing time and Dean walked Ria to the parking lot.

"I know this might seem odd, but I don't feel comfortable walking home by myself. Can you drive me to my block? You don't have to go to my house if you're in a hurry to leave."

"It's fine, I'll take you home, just give me the address."

To her surprise they talked a lot on the way home, she learned his real name is Jon, but while at work he goes by Dean Ambrose. His two friends are known as Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, they wrestle together in a group known as The Shield.

"I wish I had time for television."

"I could take you to a show, you could see all the stuff as it happens." He offered and her eyes lit up.

"That sounds fun, are you sure your boss won't mind?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of everything."

"As long as it's okay with your boss I'd love to go."
