Kaitlyn was shaking in her boots.
She was going out. On a friendly date. With Seth Rollins. Who's after a member of the Shield.
Kaitlyn checked her hair for the one millionth time, adjusted the hem of her shirt for the one hundredth time, and wiped dust off of her jeans for the one thousandth time. To say that she was nervous would be an understatement.
She grabbed her leather jacket and exited her locker room. Seth had just texted her to say that he was outside waiting for her. Well, it was now or never.
Kaitlyn opened the passenger side door, sat, and stared into Seth's eyes. "Hey," she said as calmly as possible. She was definitely not ready for this. At all.
"Hi," responded Seth with a smile. He was beaming, and Kaitlyn could tell that it was genuine. Kaitlyn, on the other hand, wasn't so sure if her smile was equally as real.
"So, where are we heading?" asked the Divas Champion.
"Oh nowhere special," said Seth, "Just a Starbucks by our hotel." Kaitlyn saw a glint in Seth's eyes and suddenly didn't believe him. But she shook off the feeling and let him drive.
It was pretty long. Kaitlyn even dozed off towards the end of the ride. Eventually, she was awoken by a gentle shake. "Wake up, Kaitie," said Seth, "We're here." Kaitlyn sat up, looked out the window and was blown away by the sight of a fancy Italian restaurant. "Surprise," said Seth with a chuckle.
"You dirty filthy liar!" Kaitlyn squealed, "I can't believe it! You lied to me...and I like it!" Kaitlyn was literally about to explode-but in a good way.
"Yeah, I changed my mind about the 'friendly date' thing," said Seth, "I want to prove to you that I'm still that sweet guy you met back at NXT." That made Kaitlyn literally beam-and the smile was genuine this time.
Eventually, the pair was settled at a table. Their waiter had just left, and the pair sat silently. Kaitlyn didn't really know what to say. So she settled on, "So, the Shield, huh?"
Seth nodded. "We were all friends in NXT. And when Punk offered the three of us that money, none of us could really refuse. Although I only joined the Shield for the main roster spot."
Kaitlyn nodded. "Oh. And I guess getting to the main roster was better than fulfilling your promise, huh?"
"Kaitlyn, look," said Seth with a sigh, "You don't understand. I went from wrestling in high school gyms to wrestling in WWE rings. And I worked hard to get every single thing that I have now. I was given anything."
"So are you suggesting that I was given everything?" Kaitlyn responded.
"No," Seth said, "I'm saying that you don't understand how I sctratched and clawed my way to the top with no one's help. You won NXT Season 3, right? And Vickie helped you throught the season, am I wrong?" Kaitlyn remained silent, because it was true. "Please don't judge me. Don't jump to conclusions about me just because I'm in the Shield."
Thankfully, the food came soon afterward, and the pair ate in complete silence. Kaitlyn was great full for the silence, as she could now think in peace. Seth was right. He worked so hard to get to his current position. And Seth was never one o throw away his moral values all in the name of fame. He just wanted the top spot. Just like Kaitlyn when she first debuted. And yeah, she had had help. But look at Seth now, cheating at every turn. He was such a hypocrite. A handsome, truthful hypocrite.
The meal ended quickly and Seth began to drive Kaitlyn back to the hotel. "I'm sorry," she said, "For bringing up the Shield."
Seth shook his head and put on a smile. "It's okay. I know that I've hurt you."
"No, I think I finally understand why you did it," Kaitlyn responded, "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions so quickly. I know that-whatever it is that the Shield does-that you aren't evil. You're just..." Kaitlyn couldn't find a word to describe Seth's place in the Shield.
Seth scoffed. "Being used," he said. The rest of the ride was silent, which was fine with them, since they were almost there anyway. Finally, they were at the hotel room and Seth offered to walk Kaitlyn to her hotel room. She refused.
Kaitlyn flopped into her bed and released a sigh. She grabbed her phone and checked her text messages. There was only one-from her secret admirer. Kaitlyn was smiling from ear to ear as she read the text.
This Monday, I want to confess my love to you in front of the world. Are you in?
Kaitlyn smiled as she texted back.
Of course.
Finished! Short, I know. But I hoped that you enjoyed it! And yeah, updating had been pretty hard. Life's been pretty stressful. But hopefully this chapter was cool! How do you think that Seth's going to reaxt to the whole "secret admirer" thing? Also, go to my profile and vote for the couple that you want me to write about next!
