*Ali's pov*
(2010)
My father is one of the most respected men in this town he was a highly decorated Police Marshall....I grew up living the life of a being an officer's daughter I knew everything that went with it...I started my own business that I was so proud of...I was proud of my store...today was a busy day so I called my friends Hannah, Brie, and Jada to help me out...when I saw a few guys I knew worked for my dad parked outside"I swear to god if dad is having me followed again I'll kill him.."
Hannah smirked "I wouldn't mind especially the one with the messy dirty blonde hair."
I smacked her arm "Don't stare at them!"
She rubbed her arm "Oww."
Brie laughed "Yeah they work with Daniel..."
Jada nodded "Randy is here it must be serious."
I rolled my eyes "I'll be right back.."
She looked at me "What are you doing?"
I shook my head and walked outside "Seriously Randy?"
Randy shrugged "Hey Hunter gave us instructions to come check on you...with that guy loose Ali he's just looking out for you."
I placed my hands on my hips "Last thing I need is you lot camped out outside my store...if I must be babysat at least don't make it so obvious your cops.."
The shorter guy with dark hair and a blonde patch "See Roman I told you to not to have your gun visible!"
I had to smile as the taller of the 4 shrugged with a slight smirk "At least come inside...we have pizza...Hannah felt it necessary to order 10 pizzas..."
Randy laughed "I think we can handle pizza..."
I nodded "Come on.."
He nodded "Come on guys I'm gonna go eat with my wife..."
I watched as they walked inside...I went back to work until I saw the taller guy looking through some shirts "I don't think those are your style.."
He chuckled "I was looking for my mom.."
I nodded "Well let me help...I'm Ali.."
The guy smiled "Roman.."
I smiled softly.."Well Roman I don't think your mom would like the sheer shirts.."
Roman laughed "No she wouldn't..."
I led him over to some shirts "Now I don't know your mom but my stepmom likes these...there very light and comfortable...and in my opinion they're cute."
He nodded "I'll take two.."
I smiled "Take them...my treat."
Roman shook his head "I can't do that."
I shook my head "You have to deal with my father everyday least I can do.."
He looked at me "At least let me pay you somehow?"
I smiled "Consider it me thanking you for your service."
Roman nodded "Okay..."
I smiled "I'll wrap them up for you.."
He stopped me "Wait.."
I raised an eyebrow "Yeah."
Roman rubbed the back of his neck "Thanks...she'll love them.."
I smiled "You're welcome."
He nodded "Umm I do want to repay you..."
I looked at him for a moment.."Dinner...next free time we both have you can treat me to dinner."
Roman nodded with a smile "Okay."
I smiled and walked off...moments later Randy stood in front of me "Find a dress you like Orton?"
Randy shook his head "Funny...what were you talking to Reigns about?"
I decided to fuck with him.."We're meeting up later to have incredible raunchy sex..."
His eyes widened "Ali!"
I laughed "Oh come on Randy...I gave him a couple shirts for his mom....we're going to have dinner together since he insisted on repaying me."
Randy shook his head "You can be an ass Ali.."
I smiled "I know...I do have a great one don't I?"
He laughed "Look I'm gonna leave Ambrose and Reigns here is that alright...your dad wants an eye kept on you while you're at work."
I sighed "Doesn't seem like I have much of a choice...but I have to know and don't lie to me Randy...was my family threatened is that why you're here?"
Randy sighed and nodded "Yes...don't fight this Ali please."
I nodded "Who is with Stephanie and the girls?"
He sighed "We called Harris...they are safe..."
I nodded "Okay.."
Randy hugged me "Be careful A.."
I sighed watching him walk out...I was at the window changing the display when I saw a car slowly drive by...before I could react I was shoved to the ground and covered by a body as I heard the shots..
Roman looked at me "Stay put.."
I didn't dare move as I watched Dean and Ambrose return fire..when it was over I just sat there my store was destroyed..I looked up being the blue grey eyes of Roman's "Is it safe?"
Roman pulled me up "You're bleeding."
I winced as he pressed a nearby scarf to my eyebrow "Are the others okay?"
He nodded "Are you?"
I sighed "I think so.."
Roman sighed "Looks like it may need stitches..."
I nodded as I heard sirens "Okay.."
He nodded "Okay.."
At that moment my dad came running in "Ali are you okay?"
I nodded "For the most part yeah.."
He looked at me then at Roman "Thank you for being here Reigns..."
I felt a little less safe as he stepped away from me and walked off "Dad what the hell is going on?"
Dad sighed "Let's get you stitched up and I'll tell you.."
I nodded and followed him out..I exchanged a look with Roman as I walked out...was I really falling for a guy I just met
