[KIRAN POV]
Roman ended up winning his match with Rusev, though the entire match was loose because of his shortcomings. Dean and I had left the trainer's room and had gone backstage to wait for Roman so he could tell him about my decision. I was still uncomfortable with the fact that I had to talk to him and painfully deal with all the memories and emotions we once shared.

Roman came backstage and was wiping off the sweat from his face with a towel. When he looked up, he saw me standing with Dean. He gave the headnod to him and walked off without saying anything to either of us.

"Okay...well let's go. Roman ain't interested in talking to me or you."

"It's not that, don't forget he's still drunk. I think he's just having a hard time facing you after everything. Come with me."

Dean took me by the hand and lead me down the hall, in the same direction that Roman had just gone.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked as I reluctantly followed him.

"To our lockerroom.....I'm not letting that idiot miss this one opportunity to make things right. We're gonna talk to him in there..."

As soon as we stepped into his locker room, Roman was startled by our sudden entrance and that too without knocking. He was just about to take another swig of whiskey from a bottle when Dean let go of my hand and walked over to him, grabbing the bottle from his hands, and dumped it in the trash. Roman was standing there shirtless with his black cargo pants and his hair tied back in a man bun. He wouldn't stop staring at me as if I had two heads. That was until Dean stepped back in front of him.

"You're gonna listen to me, and you're gonna listen good! If I see you drinking at work one more time, you just wait and see what happens. You need to stop being stupid and stop trying to fuck up your career and pretty much your entire life. It took me so long to convince Kiran to come here and you're not going to fuck it up by drinking."

"Why did you bring her though?" He curiously asked.

"Because, upon my request she's agreed to give you a chance to talk to her and I swear if you fuck up anything or do anything to hurt her when you're with her, your ass is mine, you got that?"

He quietly nodded his head and then looked in my direction. Obviously we weren't going to get time now to talk because we had to go for dinner so I left with Dean. Roman was coming along with us for dinner too so he went to shower and change. We stopped to return back our rental and then walked to a local bar/restaurant which was a couple of blocks away from our hotel. Roman had already reached there before us and took a table in the back.

"Is it okay with you if we sit together with him?" Dean looked down to ask me.

"It's fine by me, I don't know about him though..."

"Don't worry about him, let's go." He took my hand and led me to the table where Roman was sitting. Dean took the seat next to Roman and I sat across from both of them.

"Did you order yet?" Dean asked him while trying not to smile at the awkwardness that had come over us.

"No, but now that you're here, I'll have whatever you're having."

The waiter came over and took our order. Dean had ordered me some vegetarian wraps and got themselves some rice and meat. Our plates came pretty fast. Roman and Dean were chatting about football while I scrolled through my Twitter feed. It was annoying to see people keep asking about Roman and I. There were a few candid pics of me and Dean going around together with rumors that Dean was dating me.
