I just can't handle them breaking up at some point soon lol
To put a little smile on your faces, please have a new chapter.
Enjoy & review! :)

Chapter 4: Happiness and accidents
Seth glanced at his watch once again, slowly becoming quite impatient and even a little scared. Maxine should have been there for about 10 minutes and he feared that she gave him the slip. They had texted approximately half an hour ago, agreeing to meet in front of the diner just a block away from their hotel. And now she left him standing here? He had paid extra attention about his appearance today, trimming his beard neatly, his long two-toned hair in a ponytail at the nape of his neck while wearing a black cap sideway backwards. He was wearing one of his favourite shirts, the white Reebok CrossFit MeWellness one, a shirt she liked on him, or so she said a few weeks ago.
"God, I'm so sorry. I've got an urgent call and couldn't come here earlier," someone suddenly said completely out of breath, interrupting his thoughts and bringing him back to reality.
It was Maxine.
"Oh, that's okay. I just came here a few minutes ago," he lied, a huge smile on his face when he mesmerized her beauty. "Shall we go in?"
She nodded her head with a shy smile on her face, letting him lead the way and opening the door for her.
"All business-like this morning, huh?" he asked with a chuckle, looking her over from head to toe once again.
She was wearing a tight-fitting grey pencil skirt which emphasized her curvaceous hips as well as a bright red blouse with the first two buttons undone. Not enough to be able to ogle at her breasts, but enough to let his imagination go wild. Her auburn, waist long hair was once again in a tight bun on top of her head.
"Yeah, I have to get to work after breakfast," she said almost apologetically, shrugging her shoulders.
"I know," he said quietly, finally having the courage to touch her by wrapping his right arm around her waist, pulling her close before whispering into her ear. "You look friggin' hot."
She looked at him from the side and blushed, the way he kissed her neck after complimenting her sending chills up and down her spine.
"Thank you," she whispered back, immediately breaking the eye-contact as she felt slightly timid.
She had no idea why she all of a sudden felt so shy around him. She had never acted like this when they spent time with each other before.
They both sat down in a booth in the back of the diner, next to each other so that Seth could wrap his arm around her shoulders inconspicuously but he failed miserably, making her giggle.
"Sorry, I tried not to attract any attraction but I'm kinda nerdy at times," he said with a chuckle, his heart beating fast in his chest when she kept giggling.
"Did you sleep well last night?" he asked, wanting to change the subject quickly without making himself look like a fool.
"Well, it took me ages to fall asleep to be honest," she replied, snuggling even closer to him which made him cry in joy mentally.
"Is this a good or a bad thing?" he asked curiously, exactly knowing how she felt as he almost couldn't sleep all night.
"It's bad considering I'm tired as fuck right now, but it's good for you 'cause it was you I was thinking about all the time," she explained, smiling up at him from the side.
"Well, it pleases me to hear that 'cause I was thinking about you too," he replied, kissing her temple and holding her close to him. "Which brings me to something else..."
He had to ask her now. There was no way they could keep going like this without putting a stamp on it. He accepted that she didn't want the whole world to know about them, but he wanted to be able to tell his closest friends that she was indeed his girlfriend.
He was interrupted by the waitress taking their order, almost making him chicken out but he knew that he had to do this now.
"You were about to say something, weren't you?" she reminded him, moving away only slightly to be able to look into his eyes.
"Yeah...right...So, yesterday, after I went back into my room, I started thinking about all that has happened. I'm really glad you were able to open up to me and hopefully I was able to take away your fears. But when you said that you give us a chance...what exactly does that mean?" he asked, his heart beating fast in his chest, impatiently waiting for her to answer.
"Uhm...what do you think it does mean?" she wondered, not having the guts to tell him what she was really thinking deep inside.
"Ohhhh no, I asked you first. You're not doing this to me now," he teased, winking at her before looking at her expectantly.
"I'm not sure, Seth. I mean...I enjoy sitting here with you. I enjoyed your kisses last night. And whenever I see your texts, I'm all smiles. I hope I don't make a fool out of myself now but I would like to say that I really want to be called your girlfriend," she said quietly, her voice almost a whisper.
The smile that spread across Seth's face was enormous. That was easier than he had expected it to be.
"Well, that works out well because I've already decided to be your boyfriend," he said, chuckling when she looked at him with big eyes. "You just made me the happiest man alive."
Now, after making sure that they were indeed a couple, he finally bent down slightly to press his lips onto hers, very softly, enjoying the closeness to her to the fullest.
He was surprised when this time it was her that licked his bottom lip after what felt like an eternity, and he was more than happy to comply and parted his lips, welcoming her tongue with his, both of them exploring each other's mouths. But the heated and passionate kiss they were lost in was soon interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
"Sorry, I didn't want to disturb," the young waitress said shyly, handing them their food and coffee, only to quickly retreat again.
"I think she was quite embarrassed," he chuckled, pecking her lips quickly before needing to let go of her as his cell phone was ringing, a sigh escaping him.
"Hey Dean. How's it? Listen dude, I actually can't...," he started to explain when he saw that it was Dean calling him, but was once again reminded that his friend didn't really care about letting others finish their sentences.
"Dude, Roman told me what's going on...that's awesome. Did you bang the chick already? Is she any good? What about her boobs?" Dean immediately asked, making Seth blush when Maxine turned to him, raising her eyebrow with a smile on her face as she apparently heard what the person on the other end was saying.
"Man, this is really not the time to talk about something like that...," he said through gritted teeth, hoping that Dean would understand that he was in company.
"Oh, she's right there with you, right? Fine, gimme a call later. I need some details. But hey, has Roman told you that Karo gave him a fucking blowjob? Like...come on, man, that's not fair. My cock needs some love as well," he complained, not realizing that Maxine could hear every single word.
She just looked at Seth and tried to suppress her laughter when he rolled his eyes annoyed, making funny faces while Dean kept talking and talking and talking.
"Look, I'm sure this isn't the first time she did that. Be happy for your buddy, dude," he said mockingly, although his friend didn't really get that he was made being fun of.
"I've been getting myself off for the last fucking decade. I'm having some severe case of blue balls," he whined, feeling sorry for himself. "Well, whatever. I've gotta get going. Shannon is in the shower and Karo and Roman are about to come over. Have fun fucking your girl."
And with that Dean hung up, leaving Seth completely speechless.
"Uhm...that was interesting," she said, taking a sip of her coffee and looking at Seth intently.
"Well...yeah...sorry 'bout that. He isn't very tactful as you can see. But hey, please don't think I'm telling people we had sex. Dean just always thinks that everybody ends up in bed at the very first date," he explained, feeling slightly uncomfortable after that awkward phone call.
"It's okay, I trust you. But I'm not dumb, Seth. I know you guys talk about stuff like that as well. Just don't tell him about my boobs though," she pleaded, taking a bite of her croissant and thereby breaking the eye contact.
"And that is why...?" he asked, letting the sentence trail off before starting to eat as well.
"I'm not sure we should have that kind of conversation just yet," she mumbled, her mouth still slightly full.
"Oh yes, I think we should," he said, his curiosity piqued now.
She kept humming and hawing, feeling uncomfortable talking about her body issues with him before he had even seen her naked. Not to forget that they had only been dating for about 10 minutes.
"I'm not really happy with them, that's all," she said, quickly sipping at her coffee again.
"Well, to me they look amazing," he said sincerely, shamelessly checking them out before looking into her eyes again.
"Now come on, don't be ridiculous. They are not proportional to the rest of my body," she said quietly, embarrassed talking about this with him.
He had to admit that they weren't the biggest he had ever seen, not one bit comparable to Karo's, but he didn't even want to think about it that much. Maxine was his one and only now and he didn't care about her cup size.
"Stop talking about yourself like that. I like what I see. Very much so," he said, about to say that he wasn't into skinny bitches but she might misunderstand this, thinking that he thought she was fat. Which she clearly wasn't.
"And I like your ass," she said bluntly, giggling when he looked at her wide-eyed. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
"Oh well, that's fine. It just confirms that CrossFit has the effect it should have. But hey, what about my biceps? Do you like my biceps?" he asked, flexing his muscles exorbitantly, making her laugh. "Hey, I can also flex my pecs. Do you wanna see that?"
She couldn't stop laughing, loving his goofiness and the fact that he could always cheer her up whenever she felt down.
He couldn't even describe his happiness in words. Her laughter was music to his ears, the way her light green eyes were shining making his heart jump. He could easily fall in love with this woman. He wouldn't fuck this up this time. It might sound like he was rushing things but he really wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
"Will you tell anyone about us? Like...at all?" he asked after they both had calmed down, hoping that she didn't want to keep him a secret.
"Of course. I immediately called my bestie after you left yesterday," she giggled, wiping her mouth with a napkin. "I've told you I'm not ashamed of you. I will tell my people. I just don't want my colleagues to know just yet."
Seth just nodded his head, understanding where she was coming from, but he wouldn't mind letting the whole world know about them. He was hoping that soon he could introduce her to Karolina and Shannon, since she had already met Roman and Dean. Hopefully the girls would get along, that was something he was seriously afraid of.
"How about watching a movie tonight? Do you want to come over to my room?" he asked, eating his last piece of bacon before looking at her expectantly.
"Sure, why not. But don't expect me to stay the night," she said seriously, not wanting him to get the impression she was easy to have.
"Maxi, I'm not trying to take you to bed yet, if that's what you're thinking. I give you all the time you need," he said, giving her a reassuring smile.
He knew that women were principled people, waiting for several weeks or even months to finally get intimate with their partners. He would never understand why they wanted to wait for that long, knowing that they were thinking that a guy would leave them immediately after getting what they wanted. He would never think a woman was easy just because she had sex with him shortly after entering a relationship with him. If he only wanted to have sex, then he wouldn't bother fighting to be with a woman but take a random girl and have a one night stand with her.
"Considering that you've been waiting for me for months, I really appreciate that," she said shyly, kissing his lips sweetly.
She would love to sleep with him already and she knew he wouldn't mind doing it as well but it just wasn't the time yet.
"You're worth it," he whispered into her ear, kissing her forehead softly before signalling to the waitress that he wanted to pay. "I'm sure you need to get to work. I'm hitting the gym. Don't have anything else to do anyways. Will you text me later?"
"Yep. And I'm gonna choose the movie, mister," she teased, already having planned to have him watch Dirty Dancing with her.
"Whatever you want," he replied before once again pressing his lips onto hers, showing her how much she meant to him already by putting all his passion and love into that kiss.
Finally he was happy. Finally he got what he deserved and he couldn't be more excited about the turn of events. She belonged to him now. He wasn't alone anymore. He no longer would be the third wheel. He had found his other half.
...
"There you go, princess," Roman said while laying Leni down on the blanket next to Dylan on the ground, making sure that his little girl was comfortable. "Hey Dean, tell your son to keep his hands off of her."
Roman and Karolina had just arrived at Dean and Shannon's house, wanting to spend the day together with their best friends who they also considered family.
"If she's just a little bit like Karo, then she won't mind," Dean said playfully while entering the living room, shocked when he saw said woman making her way over to him in a heartbeat.
"What did you just say, asshole?" she said through gritted teeth while putting him into a side headlock, his head pressed against her breast and tightening her grip when he still could move around easily.
"Ugh...stop it...," he croaked, trying to get out of the hold but she was surprisingly strong. "I'm sorry. I was just telling the truth."
She once again gripped him more tightly, the expressions on his face making Roman and Shannon laugh heartily.
"Can he even keep his tongue in his mouth for once?" Roman asked no one in particular, impressed by his wife's strength and watching her technique intently.
"Karo...uh...," he panted, trying to stand up again after having falling onto his knees, gathering all of his power until he was finally on his two feet again. "You little bitch."
"Do you quit?" Roman asked after moving closer to the two fighters, looking at Dean with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Yeah, quit. Quit, you little pussy," Karo yelled, trying to tighten the grip when she felt that he was getting the upper hand again.
"Forget it...no...," he rasped, holding up his arm when Roman wanted to check if he still had enough power.
In one fell swoop, he picked her up, startling her with the sudden movement so that she let go of his head, now stuck in a bear hug.
"Ahhh...fuck," she yelled, groaning when he started squeezing her, his arms tightly wrapped around her midsection, her boobs almost in his face.
"Do you quit now, huh? Give up, woman," he screamed, laughing evilly when she gasped for air.
"Nooo...never...," she replied, trying to kick his ass with her legs which were wrapped around his waist but he didn't even flinch.
When that didn't work, she started pulling at his hair, making him whimper.
"Ro, you need to disqualify your wifey. This is against the rules," he groaned, wanting her to let go but if he did then he would lose his grip around her waist.
"This is a No DQ match, you dumbass," Shannon suddenly yelled, high-fiving Roman who cracked up laughing.
Dean felt funny inside when Karo pushed herself up even more, his face now hid in between her breasts. He almost couldn't breathe anymore.
He cautiously got back on his knees, laying her onto the floor carefully, letting go of her so that it was only her still hanging onto him like a little monkey. He swallowed hard when he felt what the little wrestling session did to him, hoping that Karo wouldn't notice it but it was to no avail.
"AHHHH DEAN!" she suddenly yelled, immediately letting go of him when she felt his erection pressed against her clothed mound.
"What is it, babygirl? Did he hurt you?" Roman immediately asked, rushing to her side and pushing Dean away.
"No, but he has a fucking boner," she said nervously, looking at Dean shocked.
Dean was on his two feet again, raising his hands in defence and feeling terribly guilty. It's not as if he had the hots for Karo. This wasn't about her turning him on. He glanced at Shannon who looked at him wide-eyed, her eyes now fixed on the tent in his pants.
"God Dean, are you fucking serious?" Roman asked after a few long moments, but he couldn't help but start laughing.
"That's not funny, Roman," Karo said appalled, but after seeing the embarrassed look on Dean's face, she couldn't help but join her husband in laughter.
"Fuck...I'm so sorry, Karo. I didn't mean to...you know...it just happened...," he stuttered, never having been so ashamed of anything his entire life.
"Relax, dude. Back in the day when I started in FCW, I trained with this Lily chick and I got a boner as well. It's no big deal," Roman tried to ease the tension, knowing that Dean didn't think of Karo as 'I wanna bang this chick' material. "Babygirl, what did you expect? You rubbed your boobs in his face."
Dean looked at Shannon apologetically, feeling horrible that this happened right in front of her. They were having a rather hard time at the moment. Ever since Dylan was born things were becoming increasingly difficult for them. Dean was still very unskilful when it came to being a daddy, although he had made a lot of progress already. Shannon didn't get more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep at night and was tired accordingly the next day. There was no time for intimacy. They had been arguing about this endlessly and Dean simply wouldn't understand that she was too exhausted for anything like that. It's not that she didn't want him anymore, she just needed to get used to being a mommy and girlfriend at the same time.
"I'm getting us something to drink," she said quietly before leaving the room rather quickly, needing to get out of there to clear her head.
"Hey...stop. Lemme go talk to her," Roman said when Dean wanted to follow her, helping up his wife who looked at Dean sympathetically.
He promptly made his way over to the kitchen where she was bending over to get out a few bottles of water from the fridge, yelping when suddenly Roman was standing next to her.
"God, you startled me," she said, holding her chest.
"Look Shannon, this doesn't mean anything, ok?" he immediately said, taking the bottles away from her and placing them on the kitchen counter.
"Talk is cheap, Roman. Your boyfriend didn't get a fucking boner while wrestling with another woman," she snapped, opening one of the bottles and taking a huge gulp.
"Hey, that's my woman out there. I could easily freak out as well but I don't because I know that this isn't about Karo. Shan, you need to understand Dean. You guys have been fucking like rabbits for the last couple of years. And now he's not getting any," Roman tried to explain but was instantly interrupted.
"Are you blaming me for this now? Really? I'm sorry that my son seems to be a little more difficult than your daughter. He needs more attention and I'm the one who has to take care of this," she almost yelled, looking at him teary-eyed. "I'm at the end of my rope."
"I absolutely understand, ok? Do you think that this is easy for me? Maybe I'm just lucky that I'm just a little more patient than Dean is. He loves you, sweetheart. With all his heart. And he's standing in that living room right now feeling like a piece of shit. Don't take this personally. But hey, I have an idea. How about me and Karo keep Dylan for a night in a few days? You can pump off some milk or whatever you have to do and we're gonna be fine. You'll have some alone-time with your boyfriend and make things right again," he suggested, smiling when he felt that she was really considering his idea.
"Would you really do that for us? I mean, you can call whenever something's up with him and I'll pick him up," she quickly said, having a hard time letting go of her son for the first time.
"Don't worry. We're gonna have an amazing time," he reassured her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders tightly and kissing the top of her head softly, her head pressed against his well-toned chest.
"Uhm...Roman? May I ask you something?" she asked nervously after a few more moments, insecurity reflecting in her eyes when she looked up at him.
"Sure, shoot," he said curiously after letting her go, looking at her expectantly as she was fiddling with her thumbs.
"I normally would ask Karo but maybe it would be better to get your opinion on this, since you're a man. So...uhm...would you...maybe...accompany me to do some lingerie shopping? I mean, don't get me wrong...it's not that I wanna pay him back now by taking you with me but I thought that...," she stuttered but stopped when Roman chuckled.
"No worries, sweetheart. I'm glad to help. I've known Dean for quite a few years now and am sure I know what gets him off. So we're gonna find something sexy for your wild night without Dylan. But you need to do me a favour. Forgive him now. He really didn't mean it," he insisted, surprised that Shannon would ask him for help when it came to lingerie shopping but he didn't see anything wrong with that.
They all were best friends. He trusted them. And he knew that Karo trusted him. He wasn't sexually attracted to anyone but her and he was sure that Shannon wouldn't show off her boobs to him just like that. Especially after what happened with Seth and Karo years ago, they were all aware of what could happen if one of them crossed the line. It was definitely not going to happen again.
At the same time Dean and Karo were sitting next to each other in the living room, an uncomfortable silence between them which Dean finally broke after endless minutes.
"I'm sorry, princess. I don't know how this could have happened. I'm such an asshole," he groaned, running a shaky hand through his short messy hair.
"I'm not mad, Dean. It's okay. Stuff like that happens. It was still a little weird though," she giggled, taking his hand into hers and squeezing it lightly. "Roman is gonna make her forgive you. You know he's good at talking."
Dean smirked, nodding his head before looking into her eyes. "You're one of my best friends. I don't want something like this to fuck up things for us."
"It won't," Shannon suddenly said, a weak smile on her face. "I'm still pissed at you for getting a stupid boner though but hey...that's life."
Dean quickly let go of Karo's hand and made his way over to Shannon, cupping her face with both of his hands and kissing her passionately, not caring that they had an audience. "I love you, Shannon. Only you. I'm so sorry."
And one thing was for sure. He didn't lie. He loved her, with everything he had. He just really needed some sex. Quickly.
