The Shield One Shots Book 2!

The Rancher's Son Pt12/Ambreigns

 Roman Reigns paced the living room of his parent's house, he was alone right now, both his parents were in his father's office talking. He used his crutches to make his way to the couch, once there he sat down and put his broken leg on the table. He leaned back against the couch and ran his hands over his face, he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened only minutes ago in their barn. Roman and his parents had overheard a conversation between his now ex-boyfriend Ben Carter and his two best friends...brothers and ranch hands Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose; the man Roman was secretly in love with. After hearing what Ben had said about him and his parents, Roman was furious, but he was also glad that they had learned the truth now before he made the biggest mistake of his life by marrying Ben. He sighed, as he began to think about everything that's happened between them and how they had gotten to this point.

 Roman grew up on the ranch, the only child to his extremely rich and powerful parents, who he was very close to. Growing up and to this day, despite being born into wealth, Roman never used his family's money or power to get what he wanted in life. He was a hard worker and did things his own way; if you didn't know who he was, you'd never know he was rich. Roman knew everyone who worked on the ranch over the years, but had only become close to Seth; who has worked for the Reigns family for eight years now.

 After being gone for three years; living in the city, Roman had returned to run the ranch a few months ago, after his mother had called him to tell him his father had fallen ill. The day after he got there, Seth had taken him around the ranch, showing him all the new additions and to meet the new ranch hands. On the tour Seth introduced him to Dean, when Roman had first laid eyes on Dean he instantly was attracted to him; he was damn good looking! During their first conversation Roman learned Dean had been working on the ranch for two years and had become close to Seth; like Roman was. Over the months, Roman couldn't stop thinking about Dean and it drove him crazy! He looked forward to seeing Dean and found any excuse he could think of to be around him. The more time Roman spent with Dean, the more his attraction grew, it started off as just a physical attraction, but after talking to him and getting to know him better, he was just as attracted to Dean's mind and personality too. Over time Roman and Dean became close too, the trio were always together.

 Weeks ago, while Roman was outside talking to Seth and Dean, a fancy, black car pulled into the driveway. A handsome, well dressed, blond man got out; you could tell by his appearance and the way he acted that he was someone with a lot of money. The trio continued talking, ignoring the man, until Roman's parents came out and called them over to join them. Roman's father introduced him to Ben Carter; the son of another rancher who had done a lot of business with Roman's father over the years. Roman not liking the way Ben was checking him out, quickly introduced Ben to Dean and Seth. Ben was rude to the two men and thought they were beneath him, which made the trio angry. When Roman's mom suggested they go eat lunch, Roman tried to get out of it, but couldn't. So, he had to suffer through two hours of boring conversation and pathetic flirting from Ben.

 During lunch, Ben asked Roman out, he had turned him down, but Roman's father told Ben that Roman would and so he was stuck going on the damn date! After lunch, Roman had gone to find Dean and Seth and ran into Seth at the barn. He went with him to where Dean was waiting at the new fence they were building. Both men asked how his lunch went and at first, Roman lied, but after they bugged him he finally told them about the date. Seth came up with the brilliant idea to get out of the date all Roman had to do was pretend he was sick. So, that's what Roman did and it worked, the date had been canceled and a week later there was no sign of or word from Ben and Roman couldn't be happier!
