Lexi-

I was glad it was our day off. Looking at the clock, it was almost four in the afternoon.
All I wanted to do was stay in bed, wrapped in these warm blankets. I was done crying, there were no more tears left to shed and I was done hoping that what happened last night was all a dream. I looked at my phone. I had turned it off because Randy wouldn't stop calling.
I jumped when I heard a knock at the door, afraid to look through the peephole and see Randy. I took a deep breath and looked to see Roman standing there. I opened the door.
He looked down at me and smiled.

"Hey baby girl, how are you doing?", he asked.

"Well, I was planning on staying in bed all day, eat ice cream, and watch He's Just Not That Into You", I shrugged.

"Awesome plan", he said.

He gave a small laugh. I moved aside and gestured for him to come in. He did, we moved towards the couch and sat down. It looked like he had something on his mind.

"Whats up Roman? I can tell that you just didn't come up to check on me. Is something wrong?", I asked.

I thought about Randy and Triple H. I stood up.

"Did Triple H fire you guys? I'll go talk to him", I said.

He got up and put his hands on my shoulders to stop me. He chuckled.

"No no, nothing like that. This is about Dean", he said.

"Oh", was all I could say.

"Yeah, you really hurt him. He didn't say because he doesn't like talking about this kind of stuff, but Seth and I could tell by the way he was acting", he said.

I sat back down and he followed sitting beside me. I didn't think before kissing him or how he felt. I looked down and away from Roman.

"Care to tell me what happened?", he asked.

"It was in the moment. He was being so sweet and I was not feeling so good. He just made me feel", I couldn't think of a word to say.

I sighed and looked back at Roman.

"You really hurt him. Sweetheart, I don't know if you've noticed, but he likes you. I mean really likes you", he said.

I closed my eyes, covering my face with my hands.

"That kiss meant a lot to him. I mean if you didn't shove him away after, he would've been the happiest man alive", he said.

"He told you?", I asked.

Roman nodded.

"He thinks you hate him for not stopping you. He's been sulking all morning, angry, and annoying", he said.

I giggled and shook my head at him. He smiled at me.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not mad at him. I was just in shock that I did that, I don't know what got into me", I explained.

"Would you mind telling him that. If I do he won't believe me and he might punch me in the face for telling you", he said.

I smiled at him and nodded.

"Ok good. Maybe Seth and I can stop tip toeing around him, making sure we don't piss him off", Roman said.

"Let me get out of these sweats", I said standing.

He nodded at me. I walked into my bedroom and quickly put on some jeans and a tshirt.
I put my hair into a messy bun. Walking out into the living room and sitting down to put my shoes on. Roman watched me carefully.

"So, how are you?", he asked.

I looked back down at my shoes and continued to put them on.

"Hurts, but I'm trying really hard not to think about it or him", I said.

"I saw him after coming from the gym. He was trying to find out what room you're in, but the guy at the desk said there was no Lexi Garcia staying here.", he said.

I nodded and finished tying my shoes, I jumped up.

"Yeah Brie had Bryan use his name", I said.

"Clever, my stalker is", he smirked.

I laughed and shoved his arm lightly.

"You should see the pictures they have of you on their phones. So HOT", I said.

He laughed even harder and shook his head.

"Please don't tell me they have naked pics of me?", he asked.

"Well", I shrugged.

"Oh God", he said.

We laughed and talked all the way to his room. When we got there, Seth poked his head out of his room. He smiled once he saw me.

"I thought you guys were Dean for a second there. I was afraid to come out and check and get my head ripped off", Seth said.

I laughed and rested my hand on his arm.

"I'm sorry. Where did he go?", I asked.

"Gym. He left right after you did Roman", Seth said.

"Again? That's the third time today", Roman said as he was flipping through channels.

"I'll go down there", I said.

They looked at me and then each other. I rolled my eyes at them.

"I'll be fine, I can take care of myself", I said.

"What if you run into, you know?", Seth ran a hand through his hair, making sure he didn't mention Randy's name.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"We work together, it's bound to happen at some point. I'll be fine", I said.

"Want me to walk you Lex?", Roman asked.

I shook my head and left their room. I punched the elevator button and I waited as I watched the lights flash the number it was on. The doors opened and Dean was standing there, sweaty and breathing heavily. His hair sticking to his forehead. Was it wrong that this look turned me on? He watched me. I walked into the elevator, pushing him back in so he wouldn't leave. I reached over, pressing the lobby button. Half way down, I pressed the stop button. He looked at me confused, almost scared. The elevator came to a halt.

"Dean", I said.

He didn't look at me, eyes looking down. He seemed angry yet sad. I closed my eyes and bit my lip.

"I didn't mean to push you away. It was just"', I stopped.

"You don't have to explain", he whispered.

"I do because the last thing I want is for you to hate me or for you to think that I hate you", I said.

He turned his attention to me and took a few steps towards me. Looking into my eyes.

"I could never hate you. I just don't want to be something you use just so you could forget about Orton", he said honestly.

"Your not. You're my friend and I don't hate you either", I said.

He sighed. He paced the small space in the elevator, then stopped to look at me again.

"I don't want to be just a friend Lexi", he said.

He shook his head. Frustration on his face. I knew what he wanted.

"I can't give you what you want, at least not now", I said.

"I know that's why I feel so bad. I feel like the bad guy because all I could think about was, now's my chance, I deserve a chance", he said.

I listened to him speak. Letting him take out all this pent up emotion.

"A lot of people might say that I'm not good enough for you, but when you're ready I can be the man you need. If you give me just even a week I promise, I will never hurt. I would rather die then let you slip from my hands", he said.

He walked towards me. I backed up till I felt the elevator wall on my back. Not because I was afraid, but because I didn't want to jump him like last night. His hand caressed my cheek. He leaned down to my level.

"I could love you for the rest of my life beautiful", he whispered.

I didn't know what to say. He just looked into my eyes before leaning down some more, his lips touched mine. I didn't pull away this time. He rested his hand on the wall to support himself, while the other moved down to my hip, pulling me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I didn't care that he was all sweaty, his kiss made me forget it altogether. He was the one to pull away this time. His forehead leaned against mine.

"I'm willing to wait as long as you need. Just promise you'll give me a chance when you're ready", he said.

I smiled and nodded. I brought my arms back to my sides. He moved back a little, smirk on his face. He turned and pressed the button to get the elevator to move again. He stood close to me, his hand brushing mine. I pressed my floor number. When the doors opened to the lobby, Randy stood there. He looked just as surprised as we did. He looked at me. I noticed his black eye and a bruise at the corner of his lip, it was a bright purple. He walked in towards me and I felt Dean tense up next to me. He pressed his floor number.

"Baby we need to talk. I tried calling last night but you turned your phone off", he said.

"Please just", I moved a little closer to Dean.

I put my hands up to stop him.

"Please hear me out, let me explain", he said.

Dean got in front of me.

"She doesn't want to talk to you", he said to Randy.

"Get out of my way Ambrose, I'll take care of you later", Randy said.

I got in the middle of both men, of course my height didn't help me much.

"Stop please, Dean", I said.

He glanced down at me, then nodded backing away to a corner of the elevator. I looked at Randy, nodding.

"Fine, I'll go to your room so we could talk. There are some things I think you should know as well. I just need to get something from my room first", I said.

"Ok, sounds good baby", he said.

He tried to pull me into him, but I backed away. He put his hands up and stepped away.

"Sorry", he said.

The elevator stopped on Randy's floor first. He kissed my cheek before walking out, glaring at Dean.
The doors closed and I looked at Dean.

"Please don't go see him", he begged me quietly.

He turned to me, sad expression on his face. I think he felt that if I went to talk to Randy, I'd take him back but that was not happening. I found out Randy's secret, it was time that he found out mine. I put my hand on Dean's arm.

"I'm not taking him back. I promised you a chance remember", I said.

I gave him a small smile, which he returned. His hand landing on my cheek. The elevator door opened to my floor. Before leaving, I looked at Dean.

"When I'm done talking to him, I'll come find you. I think you should know this as well", I said.

"Ok", he nodded.

Confused look on his face. I turned to leave, but stopped. I rushed back to him and kissed his cheek. He gave me a half smile. I backed out of the elevator and to my room.

When I got there, I looked through my bag. Opened up the zipper compartment inside and pulling out a picture. It was a sonogram of our baby, the last one that was taken. I carried it everywhere with me, hoping I got enough courage in me to show Randy one day and tell him what happened.
