Reigns-
Roman sat in that big expensive chair, the same one he always sat in during the meetings with his employees. Dean Ambrose sat on his left, who he appointed as CEO of his company. Seth Rollins on his right, his COO. Roman really didn't need to have an office because technically he didn't need to be there unless it's to sign something.
He earned that privilege because he worked hard for it, after his dad stepped down, the seat was given to him. Now by no means was he spoiled, well not much at least. His parents still made him get good grades and work his way up the ladder. He started off as a coffee/delivery boy. Roman liked working though, it beats going home to an empty house.
He would sit in his office and approve things that of course had to pass through Seth and Dean first. He trusted their judgement and would approve what ever they signed off on. Like opening a new restaurant over seas or a new recording studio. Making investments, he sat with them for hours figuring out the pros and cons, they were his best friends.
"So what are we doing for your birthday?", I shook my head.
I didn't even realize the meeting was over and everyone had cleared out. Dean was looking at me.
"Sorry, what?", I asked, rubbing my eyes.
Seth chuckled and leaned on the desk.
"He asked what we were doing for your birthday", Seth said.
"Hello, is this thing on", Dean said, tapping the side of my head with his finger.
I brushed his hand away and he sat back down and laughed.
"Every year you ask me that and every year my answer is the same, nothing", I said, closing my note pad and clicking my pen before standing.
I brushed off the arms of my navy suit, buttoning it up. I picked up the files and notpad, Seth stopped me and I rolled my eyes.
"All work and no play makes Roman a dull boy. Now stop being a party pooper and let's go get your dick wet. I say we hit a strip joint, now I can't touch but Paige said I could look. She gave me a pass since it's for you", Seth said, slapping my arm.
"Did she really give you a pass?", I asked.
"Okay, no she didn't but then again she thinks we're going night golfing", he said chuckling.
Dean and I laughed. Dean stood.
"I'm game for a strip club. Brie thinks I'm going golfing with you guys too", Dean said shrugging.
"Guys, I thought since you guys were married I'd be in the clear", I said, rubbing my eyes.
Before Dean and Seth settled down, they were constantly dragging me to night clubs, strip joints, and bars. Then after Seth married Paige, it was just Dean and I. Then he met Brie at a club and fell hard for her, then the cheese stood alone. I tried dating, but the girls were immature and acted like five year olds, using that ridiculous little girl voice or that liked spending my money more than spending time with me. Some either didn't know how to cook or clean.
"Come on man, after Paige has the baby I won't be able to do much more, not till my kid's at least five", Seth whined.
"Come on Rome, it's your thirty first birthday", Dean joined in on Seth's whining.
I groaned and rolled my eyes.
"Fine, okay but I'm gonna change first. The last thing I need is for someone to see me and write badly about me in their blog. We don't need to lose some of our invested companies and clients", I said.
Dean and Seth nodded quickly. Tonight was going to be a long night. Seth called Jimmy and Jey, Heath Slater, and Adam Rose. They were meeting us there. Changing out of my Armani suit into a grey tshirt, black jeans, and sneakers. I grabbed my baseball cap and stuffed my hair under it. Dean knocked.
"Ready bud?", he asked.
I nodded. I zipped up my gym bag and he walked in, pushing his hands into his jean pockets.
"You alright?", he asked.
"Fine, just thinking you know", I said.
"About? You know you can tell me", he said, sitting on the edge of my desk.
I licked my lips, shrugged and met his eyes.
"Just about how lucky you and Seth are. You know, lucky that you found someone who wants to be with you because you're you and not because of the amount of money you make", I said.
"Maybe if you relaxed a bit and didn't interview every girl that hits on you. They aren't flirting with you for a job, they're flirting with you to hit on you in hopes that you would find them interesting", he said.
"Now you sound like my dad", I said, rolling my eyes.
He chuckled.
"Well then your dad agrees with me and Seth, hell anyone who knows you agrees with me and Seth", he said.
I glared at him.
"Okay look, take a deep breath, relax and let loose. I'll buy you a couple of lap dances and please don't interview the girls I send you, okay. It's just a lap dance", he said, placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I'll try", I said.
"I'll take it", he said.
Seth popped his head in.
"Let's go my dudes", he said excited.
Dean and I followed him to a waiting party bus. The rest of our friends were already in it, some of them stuck their heads out the windows.
"Move your ass Reigns", Heath yelled.
We got on the bus and Zack Ryder, tossed me a shirt. I unfolded it and read what it said.
"It's my birthday, kiss me", I said out loud.
The guys laughed.
"Put it on", Adam Rose said.
He and Heath forced me into it. I glared at Dean and Seth who were laughing really hard. Passing around drinks, we bar hopped for a bit before getting to Heath's favorite strip club.
"The Doll House?", Dean asked.
Heath nodded, a huge grin on his face. He clapped his hands together and rubbed them.
"I'm telling you man, these women are beautiful, exotic, and I heard if you ask the right ones, they do more than strip and give you lap dances", he said smirking.
"Of course it's extra", Adam Rose continued.
"Let's go, beautiful women await", Jey said.
We walked off the bus and Heath talked to the manager/owner. Apparently they knew each other. He walked us over to a VIP section and put the velvet rope back in its place.
"We have three top performers or we can get you gentlemen a certain type. Here's the menu, pick your flavor", he said.
He handed us a tablet. They had their top three and top five listed. Then they had a category section. You could pick by hair color, eye color, skin color, big or small, tall or short, big butt or chest.
"You guys pick", I said, handing them the tablet.
"It's your birthday", Seth said.
Dean clicked on top three, I took a sip of my beer.
"Top three, wow look Ro, beautiful", Dean said.
I nodded. Dean looked at the owner. He tapped on the tablet that showed the three beautiful women.
"Which do you recommend for my buddy here?", Dean asked.
The owner smiled and didn't even hesitate before tapping the girl in the middle. A profile popped up. It gave her age, 23, dark brown hair that you could have confused for black, and green eyes. Height 5'2, slim figure, nice round bottom, B cup, and Latina. Adelaide.
"I like her", I said, before taking another drink.
Dean nodded and told the owner. He smiled and nodded.
"You won't be disappointed boys", he said, walking away.
The owner walked up on stage and grabbed a mic. I looked at Heath.
"Don't worry, he knows not to give out our names. I told him to go with Joe", he said.
I nodded. The last thing I need is for my female clients to think I do this, even if their husbands do it, I think I see one now. I shrugged. My mother, if she knew I was here, she would drag me out by my ear and ask me if I have any respect for those women or myself. That's not the way I raised you and the look of disappointment on her face. I couldn't take that look.
"Happy Birthday Joe", I heard the owner say.
I sent him a wave before the lights dimmed and then Supermassive Black Hole by Muse started to play. The woman in the photo came out. I noticed the owner come back and smile, he tilted his head and the woman came over and straddled me. I was a little nervous to look up at her. When my eyes met hers, she smiled and winked. When she got off she walked back over to the stage. Once she was done, she walked backstage.
"She's good huh", the owner said.
Dean nudged me.
"You look a little tense there", he said.
My hands were on my knees, well more like gripping them. That was the closest I've been to a woman in months. Man, I missed sex.
"She smelled really good, like you know those Apple Cinnamon candles people burn. The red ones, like that", I said, I knew it was the alcohol talking, I just compared the girl to a candle.
Dean laughed and patted my back.
"Man you need to get laid brother", he said.
"Tell me about it", I mumbled.
Heath brought over more drinks and food. Dean and Seth were talking, I grabbed a wing. I noticed Seth gesture to Heath to join them, he did. I shrugged.
"Having fun?", Jey asked.
I nodded and wiped my finger on my napkin the best I could.
"Honestly yes", I said.
Heath went over to talk to the owner. I noticed them exchange money, a bulk of it. I pointed and Jey looked over, he shrugged before looking back at me.
"Maybe he was paying for the lap dance you got", he said.
I nodded and grabbed another wing. The owner walked to the back and Heath came over to me. I finished my wing. Dean and Seth had huge smiles on their faces.
"What?", I asked, wiping my fingers on my napkin.
"Up up, come on", Heath said.
I was confused. I stood and they dragged me to the back. I thought it would look like this big room full of women, but it was a hallway and an entrance to the stage, doors on each side with numbers on them. I raised a brow and the owner came over to us.
"Room fifteen, enjoy", he said, winking at me.
I turned to look at the guys.
"Okay so we bought you a lap dance, okay, maybe a few", Dean said.
I was about to say no.
"It's with the beautiful girl that smells like candles", Seth said.
I glared at Dean. He chuckled and shrugged. Heath forced me down the hall, opening the door. There was a chair in the middle, a bed in the corner and a small stage with a pole across the room. It looked like the size of my bedroom, a door was closed that said bathroom and it sounded like someone was in there.
"This is more than a lap dance isn't it", I said.
"Just enjoy Roman", Dean said.
I was about to walk out but they pushed me into a chair and handcuffed me. I don't know where they got those. I tugged on them, but it was no use.
"Ro, you're so uptight, just relax, and let her work you right. Let her ease the tension out of your shoulders and live a little man", Heath said.
"You'll thank us after", Seth said.
They walked out and I sighed. The chair was bolted to the floor. Man my mom's gonna kill me if she finds out I paid for sex. Wait I didn't pay for it, the guys did, they forced me. I nodded agreeing with myself.
"Are you okay?", the sweetest voice I've ever heard asked.
I cleared my throat and she walked around me so I could see her.
"Oh um, yeah", I said.
She smiled.
"I'm Adelaide", she said.
"Joe", I said with a nod.
