Wow thank you to all for the wonderful comments and all of the follows and favorites. I hope that you will continue to leave your reply. Again I am co writing this with Courtney aka Sweet Elizabeth 27
Hearing those six simple words took away from the intimacy of the moment, as he stared down at Leighla underneath him. "I'm sorry sweetheart." He whispered as he placed a small kiss on her lips before rolling over onto his back. "I guess I got obsessed with what we did have, and my emotions got the best of me." Leighla hated that she stopped him the way she did because he seemed a upset and hurt, but she just wasn't ready to jump into this so soon. Not so soon after breaking up with Zahra and he still had to explain to her why he did what he did and then maybe from there they can move on and possibly start over.
"I'm not saying that I never be ready I'm just not ready now" Leighla said as she rubbed his stomach.
"I understand I took it to far and I apologize" Seth replied as he closed his eyes and just let the feel of her touch soothe him.
"Seth, can you please look at me for a minute" Leighla asked th opened his eyes and saw her beautiful face the one that he had woken up to for almost 7 years, why did he just throw it all away.
"I need to know why you chose Zahra over me?" Leighla asked with almost tears in her eyes.
"Sweetheart, I never chose her over you" Seth replied as he sat up on the bed.
"You hurt my heart more than you will ever know, why?" Leigha asked as tears started to form.
"I never meant to hurt you I swear, I was a stupid asshole that didn't see what I had in front of me, I was only thinking with my cock and not my heart. I should have never put you in that situation and I swear if you forgive me I never will again I promise" Seth said as he took her hand and laced their fingers together.
"I can forgive you but I can't forget and It's going to take alot of time to trust you again, I have always loved you I never stopped" Leighla said.
"I've never stopped loving you either babe." He said sincerely. "I made a terrible mistake by taking your love, our love, and everything we shared for granted." He said sitting up on his elbow as he looked over at Leighla and gently rubbed her cheek with the back of his finger. "I'm so sorry baby. I really am. Is there anything I can do or say to make this, make us better?" He asked. "Please I'll do anything." He offered desperate to keep her in his life. "All I want is for us, to be us again." He said placing a light kiss on her neck as he laid his head in the crook of her neck.
"It's just going to take some time we can't rush into anything" Leighla said as she leaned into his touch
"Time is all I have now, I love you baby and I promise I will win back your trust" Seth replied
"You need to focus on getting better and rehab" Leighla said as she looked at his leg in the brace
"I can't do this alone will you help me?" Seth asked with those dark brown eyes that had a sense of desperation in them.
"I will be your #1 cheerleader while you're in rehab " Leighla said with a smile
"Will you please go with me next week? Seth pleaded
Seth closed his eyes as Leighla brushed the hair from his face. "Yes, baby please." He said as he slowly opened his eyes to meet her's. "I need you to be there with me and I need your support." He said.
Leighla nodded as she slowly ran her fingers all the way through his hair. "I'll be there." She told him.
Seth smiled, "Thank-you, sweetheart." He said as he leaned over and kissed her lips. Leighla welcomed his kiss and began to kiss him back.
Seth again to feel the temperature rising between them and as much as he didn't want because she tasted so good he slowly pulled away and gazed into Leighla's eyes.
"Stay with me tonight, I promise I won't try anything I just want to be close to you" Seth whispered
"Are we sure that's a good idea" Leighla said as she rested her hand on his chest.
"I promise nothing will happen baby and we can watch a movie and then fall asleep and wake up together" Seth reassured her but he just needed to be close to her he didn't want to let her go.
"Do I get to pick the movie?" Leighla asked with a smile as she looked into Seth's eyes and could see the hurt in them.
"Yes and I have ice cream" Seth replied with a sly smile.
"Give me one of your tshirts to get comfortable in and I will go and pick out a movie" Leighla winked at him.
"Thank you baby" Seth said as he kissed her softly.
Seth smiled as he slowly got up off the bed and pulled a t-shirt of his out of a drawer and handed it over to Leighla. She smiled as she took the shirt and walked towards the bathroom. Seth couldn't keep his eyes away from her the entire time she went to the bathroom.
"I'll go get you some ice cream." He said as she shut the bathroom door.
"Okay, thank-you baby." She said as he began to leave the bedroom.
"Anything for you sweetheart." He replied back.
A few minutes later Leighla came out of the bathroom and headed to the living room where Seth was already waiting with a bowl of ice cream for himself and her.
"You always know how to make my shirts look good." He smiled as he took a bite of his ice cream.
Leighla smiled as she took a seat next to him on the couch. "Mmhmm.." She smiled as she took the bowl from Seth. "You just saying shit now." She laughed as Seth turned the television on and found his list of his movies. "You flatterer."
Seth smiled as they continued to scroll down the list of movies until Leighla found one she wanted to watch. He started the movie and then wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close, and they sat just like that the entire movie through as they smacked on their ice cream.
"Do I get to pick out a movie now?" Seth asked as the movie they were watching came to an end.
"How about we go to the bedroom and you can watch one there" Leighla said as she went to take the ice cream bowls to the kitchen.
"I like the sound of that" Seth said as he walked up behind her in the kitchen and put his hands on her hips and kissed her softly on the neck."Thank you for agreeing to stay the night with me" he whispered into her ear.
Leighla turned around and put her arms around his waist "I have to admit I missed you, I missed us, I missed our life together"
"I didn't realize how much I missed you until you were gone, I fucked up and I paid the price for it and I can never say how sorry I am for taking you for granted but I promise baby I will never do it again" Seth said as he leaned down and kissed her on the temple.
"One day at a time baby" Leighla said as she laid her head on his chest and hugged him tightly.
They were in bed watching 12 Rounds with Dean Ambrose and Seth looked down and saw Leighla curled up to his side asleep and he made sure that the comforter was covering her and he leaned down and kissed her on the temple.
"I love you baby" he whispered he couldn't believe that she was actually here asleep in his arms and he vowed to himself that he would never let her go again.
After the first night of having Leighla stay he convinced her to stay with him the rest of the week until they left for Birmingham, and Seth was true to his word. He never once tried to do anything that Leighla wasn't ready for. They booked their flight and we're now headed for Birmingham.
They where sitting on the plane and Seth was uncomfortable with the leg brace and was fidgety. Leighla took his hand and laced their fingers together and laid her head on his shoulder. "Relax baby "
"I"m glad you're going with me" Seth replied as he kissed her on the temple
"Somebody has to make sure that you don't over due it" Leighla smiled as she gave him a quick peck I the lips.
The WWE film crew was there to film Seth's progress while in rehab. Little did Seth or Leighla know that she was being filmed with Seth. It was very hard for her to watch Seth in some of the exercises he was doing because she could see the pain on his face.
Seth would look over at her and try to give her and she would give him a reassuring smile and tell him he was doing a good job.
Even though it was hard for her to watch him in pain she had to keep a smile. She didn't want him to see her sad, and as much as she wanted to shed a tear she couldn't. She knew Seth was going to need her to be his strength and support. By this time Seth had been rehabbing for a little over two hours. He needed to rest before he really over did it.
Leighla smiled as she walked over to him. "Baby, I think you should take a break." She said placing both hands on the sides of his face. "You don't want to over do it and then cause more harm than good, do you?" She asked placing a small kiss on his lips before slowly pulling away and gazing into his chocolate brown orbs.
Kevin Wilke the rehab specialist only the best for Seth agreed with Leighla " You have a very smart girlfriend I'm glad she came with you" Kevin said
"I'm very lucky" Seth smiled as he towered off his face.
"Drink this do you want your protein bar? " Leighla asked as she handed Seth his water bottle.
"Thanks sweetheart I'm not hungry though, do you want it? Seth asked as he took a drink of his water.
"I'm good we will get lunch once you're done" Leighla replied as she watched them start to wrap Seth's knee in ice.
"Shit that's cold" Seth barked out Leighla knew he was getting frustrated so she walked over and rubbed his arm to try and calm him down. She knew this was going to be a very long day and she had to keep him focused.
Seth leaned his head back on the wall he had his knee wrapped up in ice. This was tougher than he thought it was going to be. He was used to pain in workouts but nothing like the pain he was in now and he hadn't even done anything but some stupid exercises. He didn't have a lot of patience and he knew he had to keep his emotions in check. He felt a warm living touch on his arm and he knew whose it was and he was grateful for her. He couldn't imagine doing this alone. He opened his eyes to see the most beautiful woman standing there. She had on yoga pants and a Black and Brave Hoodie with her brown hair in a pony tail and ball cap. "I love you" she smiled and leaned down to kiss me "I love you to babe" she replied
A soft but sad smile painted Seth's lips. The sadness in his smile had nothing to do with Leighla or her being there. It was quite the opposite he loved having her there but the work that went into having his knee ready by mania was hard and painful. He was beginning to lose hope and even began to think that he'd never wrestle again.
Leighla took notice of Seth's sad and defeated expression. She reacted over and pulled him into a warm loving hug that made Seth feel a little better. He hugged her back and laid his head on her shoulder. Leighla held him for as long as he's let her. She placed a kiss on the side of his head as she combed through his hair with her fingernails.
"Let's go get some food." Leighla suggested as Seth slowly pulled away. "I know you got to be hungry after all that hard work."
Seth shook his head, "Not really, but I'll go for you." He smiled softly.
Leighla returned the smile as she held her hand out for him to take. "Let's go." She said kindly. Seth took her hand and they two of them left to find something to eat. They had just sat down to eat when Seth spoke up.
"I'm so glad to have you here with me." He said looking up from his food to Leighla. She smiled warmly as she looked up to meet Seth's eyes. "Today I realized how hard this is gonna be, and there were so many times I just wanted to say fuck it, but then I see you standing there giving me so much support and believing in me that I carry on. If you weren't here I'd said fuck it all within the first hour." He said as tears rimmed his eyes."
"Oh baby." She said as her own tears burned her eyes. She reached out and took the sides of his face in her soft warm hands and pulled him into a kiss.
"Thank-you." Seth whispered as they slowly parted just leaving their foreheads touching.
"Anything for you babe." She whispered back as she pulled him in for another kiss.
"I love you." He said as they pulled away for a second time. "I love you so much." He breathed as a few tears broke free a rolled down his cheek.
"I love you too." She said as she wiped his tears away with her thumbs. She wanted to cry with him but she knew she had to stay strong for him especially right now.
Seth leaned in a kissed her for a third time and as she kissed him back, he just didn't understand. He couldn't understand. How could she be so kind to him and love him so deeply after he broke her heart. The more he thought about it the more he hated himself for what he did to her. He had to find a way to make up every bit it to her. Slowly they pulled away and gazed into each other's eyes for a moment before returning to their food.
"What do you want to do tonight?" Seth asked as he picked at his food and looked over at Leighla.
"How about we order pizza and beer and play some Madden" Leighla replied with a smile.
"I knew there was a reason why I loved you" Seth said with a small smile. He dreaded the thought of going back to rehab but he knew he had another 2 hours at least before he could finish today. It was like Leighla could read his mind and she knew what he was thinking.
"Baby, I know it's hard now because your used to going at things head on but you have to take this one step at a time and you will get there I promise." Leighla said as she took her hand on his thigh and rubbed it.
"How did I get so lucky?" Seth asked as he looked at her crystal blue eyes.
"It wasn't all your fault we both made mistakes and I think once you are finished with rehab we can focus on what we need to work on but let's just focus on getting your better now" Leighla replied as she took a drink of her water.
After lunch they returned so Seth could finish his last two hours of rehab. At least this time around he felt motivated and had a 'can do' attitude. His pep talk with Leighla helped change his attitude as did their plans for that night. Pizza and a video game, yeah a man's dream especially sharing that moment with a hot girl.
"You got this baby." She said as she pecked him on the lips. Seth gave her a small smile as he returned to his rehab specialist and began working on his knee for the rest of two hours as Leighla stood by showing her full support.
It had been a long week of rehab for Seth in Alabama and he was making progress just not as fast as he would prefer it. The positive is that he no longer had to wear the brace just a slope so now on his knee. When they got home Leighla went to check on things at her apartment and at work. She was the lead stylist at a high end salon in Davenport. Seth was checking on things at Black and Brave when he got a phone call from the person he least expected Zahra
Seth looked down at his phone and was debating on whether or not to answer it. He decided to send the call straight to voicemail. It was only a matter of seconds after that his phone buzzed alerting him of a new voicemail. He sighed as he pulled up the message and listened to what she was saying.
"Hey Seth, I ran across your video. You're looking good baby. It won't be long before you're back in the ring kickin ass. I'll be in town in a couple days. I might stop by and visit. By the way Seth I saw you with Leighla. How is that going? Anyway be sure she's scarce when I come by. I'd hate to have her see us together and the look on your face when I'm pleasuring you." Then there was a small giggle before she spoke again. "See ya baby." She said and ended the call
"Why in the hell do you care about how my rehab is going now? Don't bother to come by because I don't want to see you we have nothing left to discuss and btw Leighla and I are great" Seth sent the text and let out a sigh of frustration. He then dialed Leighla's cell and hoped she picked up.
Leighla was in the color room of the salon mixing some colors when her phone started to vibrate. She looked down and saw Seth's face on the screen and picked up with her heart somewhat in a panic.
"Baby are you ok? She answered
"I miss you" Seth replied as he wiped his face with his hands
"I will be home in a couple of hours" Leighla said as she finished up the color
"Our house?" Seth asked
"Yes and I will stop at The ribs shack if you will call in the order baby" Leighla replied
"Ok I need to tell you Zahra called and left a message we will talk about it when you get home" Seth said as he got a beer
Leighla's blood began to boil just at the mention of the tattooed sluts name.
"Sweetheart? Seth asked
"I'll see you when I get home" Leighla replied
"I love you " Seth said
"Love you" Leighla replied
