Wednesday Morning Kate woke up in Shane's arms. She never felt more loved or safe when with him. Despite knowing in her head this was wrong her heart told her she loved him. She couldn't help but stare at the sleeping man beside her. She kissed him softly on the lips as Shane wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him.
"Good morning sweet girl." He smiled deepening the kiss.
"Good morning." She smiled back returning the kiss. As their make out session was getting more heated. Shane's arms roamed her body. She loved his kisses and his touch. When Shane's phone went off he started to reach for it.
"Please don't." Kate said her hands on his chest.
"Sorry I have too it's Mania week. It could be anything." Shane told her as he grabbed for his phone.
As Kate let out a small sign she laid back on the bed.
"Hello dear." Shane said.
As Kate rolled her eyes knowing it was Marissa. She just got out of bed and headed for the shower. "Why does he do that?" She thought to herself as she started to shower. "Why do I care so much? Right because I love him. I fell in love with a married man. Why am I an idiot." She thought. When she was done showering she came out in a towel. As Shane was still on the phone with Marissa.
"Why don't you just come Friday?" Shane said. "No but there really isn't a whole lot for the boys to do this year? Yes I realize that." He said as Kate went to grab something and he gave her the shhh sign his finger to his lips.
Kate bit her lip as she growled. She went into the bathroom and finished getting ready for the day. When she left the bathroom he was still on the phone. She tossed him a note.
"Going out for breakfast have a great day." As Shane read the note he put up his hand meaning to stop but Kate had already grabbed her stuff and was out the door.
Kate took a moment and then headed to the elevator. "Good Morning Sunshine." She heard as the doors closed.
"Good morning Seth." She smiled. "Up early huh or is this late?" Kate joked.
"Well darling if you must know I was up at 5 am doing a whole set of cross fit. Now I am starving."
"How can you do that?" Kate asked.
"What?" He smiled.
"Cross fit? I mean I seriously want to know? I tried it once and I totally about tossed my cookies."
"I guess you just get use to it. I mean you look good so what kind of work outs are you into?" Seth asked her.
"I do a lot of running and I love to bike. But as you know Chicago doesn't have many trails to bike on so I run and go to the gym."
"Well at least you do something. Like I said you look good." Seth winked.
"Rollins are you flirting with me?" She laughed.
"Maybe? Hey come to breakfast with me."
"You paying?" She joked.
"Yes it's a date." Seth smiled.
As Kate agreed they headed down to the hotel restaurant to eat some breakfast.
As they ordered Kate was watching Seth and how serious he did take his coffee. She couldn't help but smile as she sipped her Orange juice.
"What?" Seth grinned.
"Nothing I just forgot how seriously you really took your coffee.."
"Hey You have to have the perfect coffee. I see you still don't like it?" Seth said sipping his drink.
"No not really sorry. But hey be proud I do like a good french vanilla cappuccino."
"Well then you will have to come to Iowa. I know a place that makes a hell of a cappuccino." Seth grinned.
"Yeah? Hmm wonder where that could be." She smirked. "You know I haven't had time to tell you but I am really proud of you. I mean besides being a huge WWE superstar you are running two businesses. That is truly awesome."
"Thanks Kate that means a lot. Now I have to ask what has been up with you lately?" Seth asked her.
"What do you mean?" Kate asked him.
"Alright well for starters we hardly see you. I mean you've just been a little distant. Everything alright with the family? I know they can be a pain in the ass."
"Seth yeah I mean it's fine. My dad is still being my dad wanting me to move home because Chicago isn't safe for a young unmarried woman. My mom still bugging me about not being married. But it's fine nothing I can't handle with them."
"Then Kate or should I say Kit Kat." He grinned.
"Oh goodness." She laughed. "I haven't heard that nickname since I started working here. You Shield boys are something else. I will never forget the time you loaded my rental car with Kit Kat bars. You jerks." Kate smiled remembering all the good times she had hanging with the hounds.
"Hey that was all Ambrose. OK and well Me and Roman. But it was totally Dean's idea." Seth smiled.
As Kate couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh there it is." Seth smiled.
"What?" Kate asked still with a smile.
"That southern smile we haven't seen in a long time. You know we were close at one time. You know you can talk to me."
"I know thank you Seth. That really means a lot. I am not gonna lie I do miss hanging out with friends. I feel like it's been far to long you know."
"Yeah I mean I know when I got with Sarah we kind of did our own thing. Roman was off then Dean got hurt and he was gone a long time."
"I know that was so damn scary. I told him months before his surgery he shouldn't be out there. But well." Kate started to say.
"Well that bone head doesn't listen to anyone." Seth told her.
"Yeah not even his wife." She joked.
"Nope not ever her. Still hard to believe that he got married."
"Oh me too and to her of all woman." Kate said as their food arrived.
"Still not a fan?" Seth chuckled as he started to put jam on his toast.
"Not really. But I am learning to tolerate her better. I just don't know what it is about her. She just seems so immature for her age. I mean she is only like a year older than me." Kate said as looked down at her biscuits and gravy along with her scrambled eggs.
"A southern breakfast." Seth smiled.
"You know it. I mean they wont be as good as my Grams but hey sometimes you just need a taste of home." Kate said as they started to eat and just catch up.
When they had finished eating Seth looked at the time. "Hey I have to do that WWE Live with Cathy why don't you come with me? Then we can hang out for the day?"
Kate hesitated. "I don't know." She said looking at her phone and seeing she had a text from Shane.
"Sorry sweet girl. How about we do lunch? I know a place across town. Love you."
"You know what the hell. Let's do this Rollins. Let's hang out for the day." She smiled.
Later that afternoon after Seth's great interview with Cathy. Seth and Kate spent the afternoon together. The explored the sites and sounds of the city and just enjoyed each others company. As much as Kate loved Shane she knew that something needed to change.
