Ok, so I apologize in advance if there are any flowing or spelling issues. I am tired as shit. Finished the last part a bit ago and called myself proofing the whole damn thing. I just had to get something out for you guys so here is. :) I'm hoping it's not too-too bad. -Crosses fingers and prays- Anywho, let me know what you guys think and yes, I am still working on my other story, for those of you who read it. It's just taking me longer than expected to get those two stubborn butt heads to cooperate. lol. Again, anywho, hope you guys enjoy. -Scurries out-
"Are you ok?"
"Rhea, for the last time...I, am, fine."
"Just checking," She mumbled. "I'm nervous. Surgery is always scary no matter what and when it's someone you care about…" She trailed off and Seth noticed the slight trembling her small frame did. He quickly reached for her hand giving it a small squeeze.
"Hey," He urged, ducking his head to try and meet her worried gaze. "Look at me."
It took a moment but when she finally did he saw the unshed tears and his heart nearly broke in two.
"Hey, I'm gonna be fine. It's just my knee, it'll be fine."
"Things go wrong all the time, Seth," The brunette responded, a slight tremor in her voice. "Just look at mom. Twice! They lost her twice!" She inhaled a hoarse cry, tears on the verge of falling. Seth gave his friend a soft look and pulled her into the hospital bed with him.
"Come here you." He moved her closer to his side, tightly and she cuddled into him, grasping at the front of his hospital gown desperately.
"I don't want anything to happen to another person I care about. I know it was a long time ago and mom is fine but…"
Seth gave her a squeeze, dropping a kiss on the top of her head. "I get it. I do."
The two sat in comfortable silence until his doctor knocked softly, alerting them that it was time.
Rhea quickly hopped up, rubbing at her eyes. She awkwardly shuffled back as Dr. Dugas stepped up to go over details with Seth and make sure he was ready to go.
"Go get something to eat, clear your head squirt, " Seth spoke up after his doctor stepped out real quick.
Rhea's response was almost immediate.
"You kidding?! I'm not leaving this fucking floor! You might need me and I'm going to be right here in case-"
"I'll be fine."
"You don't know that," She snapped. "No one knows that for sure! Ever."
Seth sat and watched her for a moment, carefully choosing his next words.
"Can you do it for me? Give me peace of mind going in there? They say the more positive vibes the better."
He gave her his best puppy dog look, lip jutted out absurdly. Rhea tried to keep a straight face, she did, but eventually glared him down, relenting with a dramatic eye roll.
"Ugh! Fine! I'll do it for you. Don't want you actually croaking on the table or anything."
The grin she received in return made it totally worth it.
There was his girl. He couldn't stand seeing Rhea's lovely face marred by frown lines, the cute little crease between her eyebrows….point is a sad Rhea made for a sad Seth. He liked seeing that smile and it was bonus points if it was his doing.
"I...I guess I'll head out and grab a bite…" Rhea backed up as the nurse came in, setting up the bed for transport, "But I'm coming right back after though!"
As Seth passed by, Rhea reached out, her eyes a little panicked and he clasped her hand in between his two pulling a silly face. The brunette scoffed and stuck out her tongue in return, the two earning a laugh from the nurse.
Just before they turned the corner, Rhea following, she heard the nurse proclaim what a cute couple they were. Seth mumbled something she couldn't make out and the denial was on the tip of her tongue. Deciding to let it go, Rhea watched until they were out of sight and turned with a shake of her head to disappear in search of food.
"How are you holding up darlin'?"
Rhea shrugged, toying with a fry, scooting a few others around on her cheeseburger wrapper. "I'm fine. I'm not the one having surgery...it's Seth we should be worrying about."
Dean could hear the heavy sigh in her voice as she took a bite of her food over the line. He knew she was trying to put up a strong front but hospitals and the like didn't do Rhea any good. Having spent most of her younger years visiting some he knew this was hard. He wasn't even sure how she could volunteer like this. Every time he had been sent or was urged to go to the hospital in the years they'd been together, each and every time she freaked the hell out. Put up a strong front but behind closed doors she broke down.
It killed him.
He wanted to ask why she went but refrained in case of argument.
Last fucking thing he needed when he already missed this broad like crazy.
He needed her with him.
"I fucking miss you, you know that?"
Rhea's eyes left her wrapper as a smile overtook her face.
"Yeah?" She breathed softly.
"Yes. First thing I want you to do when you guys make it to the house and are settled for the night is video message me babe?"
Rhea raised an eyebrow, tapping at her phone absently. "Oh yeah? Whatever for honey?"
Dean growled. "I need to see you. All of you."
Rhea smiled. "You got it, Romeo."
Dean let out an amused snort at the nickname before the two exchanged farewells. Rhea hopped up throwing her trash away to make it back over to the center. It was far from time but maybe she could waste time playing on her phone, reading a magazine or two...
God she was ready for this surgery to be over with and for Seth and her to be on the next plane out of there.
"Alright Seth. Give me another stretch there. Ok, good, good. I want you try making it over here one more time."
The young superstar grimaced as he struggled to make it the few steps needed to meet up with the nurse on his case.
"Good, Seth. Very good."
"Is it...almost….time," Seth panted, lifting his head to eye the woman before him.
"Almost," She returned, helping him stand and maneuvered him to start his trek back to the bed with help from her and another. "We're just waiting on the paperwork for your therapist and you're good to go!"
Rhea watched as Seth hopped a bit with some assistance, his face scrunched in pain and determination. She wanted to jump up and grab him, take the pain and hard work away but knew to stay back. These people were just doing their job and this was part of the process.
Finally Seth sat on the edge of the bed and his attention turned to her once the nurses left the room.
"Almost there little lady," He grinned.
Rhea allowed her eyes to scan his body, her gaze landing on his hurt knee before meeting his face again.
"Lets hope. I'm ready to get out of here," She spoke up softly.
The last couple of hours had been some of the longest in her life. Sitting and watching Seth wake up completely as she flipped through a book, played on her phone...yeah she was beyond ready to go.
There was a good bit of silence as the two lost themselves in their own devices. Seth his food from earlier, Rhea her phone...again.
Nearly an hour later and the doctor was entering to check up on Seth one last time. Rhea excused herself to call a cab and check on flight times.
So far it was looking like the two would be at Seth's place no later than five.
She was just entering the room again after checking and rechecking everything to see Seth standing.
"You see my clothes bag anywhere?" He frowned.
Nodding in relief, Rhea moved to grab it from across the room. "So, time?"
Seth gave a quick nod, reaching in to grab at his shirt and shorts. "Time. Just gotta stop by the front desk and check out and we're on the way home."
"Good. Need any help," Rhea offered with a point at the clothes on his lap and Seth shook his head.
"I got it. Just gonna be a bit of a challenge with my leg is all."
Shirt went on quickly but when it came time for the bottom half Seth started to struggle. He lifted, he dropped, he sighed and grumbled.
"Fuck."
Rhea turned to face him. "Everything ok?
"Just uh..I…" He huffed in annoyance. "No," He finished in defeat. "Finally feeling the effects of a broken knee and-"
Seth's eyes widened as Rhea moved around the bed, urging him to lift. "Come on, up you go, Rollins. Got a flight to catch."
Quickly reaching for his socks she dropped to help slip them on not catching the caged looked on Seth's face as he looked down on the woman's head.
"What next," She asked after she lifted, reaching for his bag again. "Shorts? Alright. Let's slide these on," She narrated as she helped lift both his legs gently, sliding the clothing over and up to rest up under his hospital gown. She paused mid thigh and pulled back. By this time Seth was stock still, face as red a tomato.
"What," Rhea puzzled after looking up at him, "Breathe, Seth," She demanded when she noticed him sitting stock still not a word or breath leaving his gaping mouth.
It took another moment but Seth quickly worked at covering himself, also throwing on his hat and glasses, his jacket following with some assistance before the gown was tossed on the bed and he was reaching for his crutches.
"Did I push too much? You ok? You're not hurt are you? I'm sorry, sometimes I can baby too much and-"
"That's not it," Seth hissed.
Rhea looked taken back by his tone. "Then what," She started only to get cut off.
"Let's just get out of here alright?"
"O-Okay," Rhea stuttered allowing Seth the go ahead so she could watch for any issues should they arrive.
The flight went off without a hitch, Seth's weirdness not doing anything to derail Rhea's happiness at being somewhere she knew, in a nice, warm, comfy bed.
Despite it only being about 4:30 in the evening Rhea was ready to sleep.
"Pizza," She questioned her travel companion as their cab turned the corner on the way to Seth's place.
"Read my mind, squirt."
Rhea pulled a face and Seth grinned before the taxi cab pulled to a stop.
"Ah! Home sweet home," Seth sighed, stretching his arms out wide once the two set foot on his walkway.
"I am ready to drop," Rhea groaned.
"So soon," Seth asked as he unlocked his door.
Rhea shifted, bringing her purse and Seth's bag up higher on her shoulder. "Well after food of course."
The two were almost in the house, bags and suitcase already set beside the door when a small jingle and heavy footsteps neared loudly.
"Kevin! Darn it, you little thing...hold up!"
Seth turned just in time to watch his small Yorkie, Kevin, run at him head on, nearly crashing into his leg.
Rhea laughed along with Seth and watched as he tried leaning down to pick up the bouncing dog. When she noticed he needed help she jumped to just as a stunning brunette came to a fast stop before the couple.
"Oh good, it's you," She puffed slightly as she took in a few breaths to gather herself.
Seth ruffled at his dog's ears, his smile a mile wide as the little fluff ball licked at his face like crazy. "Yup. Just as planned," He chuckled, reaching for Kevin receiving a worried glance his way from Rhea.
"It's ok, I got him."
Rhea quickly grabbed at Seth's crutches and turned to the female who watched Seth and the dog with a happy smile.
"Hi! You must be…"
"Oh, Leighla," The brunette introduced herself, extending a hand to Rhea.
'Holy crap! She's gorgeous! Wait. Leighla? Leighla...why does that name sound so...Dude!'
Rhea's eyes widened as she took in the woman before her, captivating blue eyes and flawless skin, smoking body.
"Thee Leighla," She asked before she could stop herself.
Leighla looked to Seth, a slight blush on her face. "So you've heard of me?" She grinned, giving Seth a head tilt.
Rhea nodded slowly. "Only that Seth had a gorgeous ass girlfriend whom he was stupid to let go...according to my boyfriend. And uh yeah! He was totally right."
The other woman shook her head as Rhea shook her hand like crazy, her entranced gaze making Leighla's blush deepened.
"God, thank you. I mean...I'm far from-"
"Oh my god, shut up," Rhea screeched. "Don't you dare….you're beautiful!"
She turned to punch Seth in his arm making him wince.
"Idiot."
"Ow! What was that for?"
Rhea looked to Leighla for a second and sputtered, pointing with a shaky hand before looking back at him with a squawk.
Seth narrowed his eyes, burying his face in his dog's fur.
Rhea looked between the two again and was surprised to see Leighla staring at Seth and what looked like a look of longing in her eyes. Her eyes widened and she turned reaching for Kevin.
"Let me just.." She slapped at Seth's eager hands as he tried grabbing his pet back and shot him a look. "Talk to her," She hissed through gritted teeth. Giving Leighla a bright smile she moved into the open door. "I'm just gonna…"She pointed to the side and awkwardly shuffled away.
"Nice meeting you," She yelled just before walking further in the room.
Leighla raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow Seth's way and he rolled his eyes playfully, shrugging. "That's Rhea." He reached for his crutches against the wall avoiding his ex's eyes.
"Oh yes, you mentioned help from a friend. That's Rhea huh? She's pretty."
"Yeah...she's alright."
Leighla studied her ex boyfriend as he avoided her stare and she let out an amused snicker.
"You like her," She teased with a grin, a grin that didn't quite reach her eyes but a grin nonetheless.
Seth's head snapped up and his wide eyes zoomed in on her. "Psh...I...psh, no."
'Way to go there Seth. Can you sound any more pathetic?'
He sighed, closing his eyes for a second before he looked at his ex.
"She's just a friend."
Rhea scrolled through her messages, responding to ones from work and Dean, even Roman's girl, Nia, when Seth finally strolled through his front door with a grumble. He turned to lock it and clicked over her way. The sight of Kevin curled up on Rhea's lap, comfortably sleeping made him smile.
"Dude, you're eating," He huffed coming to a stop right beside her.
"Was hungry," She replied with a mouth full of food.
"And my last pasta bowl?!" He exclaimed.
"Dude. I was hungry."
Seth shook his head with a dramatic groan and Rhea grinned with a wink.
"Pizza on it's way or do we need to-"
"Already done and paid for," Rhea stated proudly.
Seth slid onto the bar stool beside her and reached over to ruffle his dog's ears.
"He totally remembered me. I was worried for a moment there," Rhea spoke up.
"Ah," Seth started, looking at his petite companion. "Kevin has always loved you…" He stared at Rhea for a long moment before clearing his throat, taking a sip of his drink.
All of a sudden Rhea looked about making Kevin go on alert for a second before he let out a small huff and settled back onto her lap "Hey! Where's Leighla," She questioned.
"Went home," Seth shrugged looking off.
"Shoot. She could have had pizza and soda with us. Dean was totally right," She said turning to face him carefully keeping hold of the small Yorkie.
"About," Seth questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh don't give me that look, Seth," She said cutting her eyes at him. "That woman is beautiful! Like gorgeous...and you let that go?!"
Seth rolled his eyes facing away from his friend.
'Oh here we go.'
"I didn't let her go," He ground out. "Time and distance…we just grew apart."
Now it was Rhea's turn to roll her eyes.
"Oh please, Seth Rollins." Her eyes bore a hole through his skull as she calmly pet Kevin's soft fur. "With a woman like that, you make time."
Seth squinted at a far wall, absently nursing his drink.
What was in the past should stay in the past. Why move backwards? What they had, had been meaningful, he truly believed that. But...it just hadn't worked out. Wasn't meant to be.
"She's a goddess," Rhea continued. "Dude you'd be lucky to come across a woman like that again. Ok, well, maybe if you have all the luck in the world, one more time. I need to ask her for makeup and clothing tips sometime soon cause, wow."
Seth gave her a confused look.
The fuck?
"What do you mean," He asked slowly.
Rhea flailed her arms. "Seth! Come on! I look absolutely frumpy compared to her" She gave herself the once over and Seth couldn't help but follow suit.
Like hell.
"I mean really? Pigtails, and white tights?! This dumbass red sweater with the silly pink heart?" She laughed amusingly and Seth shook his head biting at his cheek.
"Rhea, please."
"I look absolutely ridic-"
"You look gorgeous ok?!" The two toned haired man snapped making Rhea promptly shut her mouth...but only for a second.
"What," She asked meekly but Seth was up and crutching his way around the bar.
"I'm gonna go throw some boxers on."
"Wait. WHAT," Rhea shrieked.
Seth smirked hobbling his way over towards his laundry room area.
There. That should shut her up a bit. Especially about this Leighla business momentarily.
"YOU WEREN'T WEARING UNDERWEAR?!"
Or not...
"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"
Dean sat up with a grumble, the video getting shaky as Rhea laid propped on a side before her iPad decked in nothing but a black lingerie set and stockings. A pair of low riding, hip hugging panties, thanks to her wide as sin hips were connected to a pair of stockings via their snaps, front and back, while the bra that sat atop her breasts did it's job of covering her peaks and some but failed at covered her full mounds.
"What the? And did you just quote Shakespeare again?"
She watched Dean rub at his sleep filled eyes and nearly pouted in worry but caught herself and gave him a sultry smile once she saw his eyes roam over everything showing.
"You like?"
His eyes snapped up to her own. "Rhea, baby, when you get home I'm gonna do nothing but fuck the shit outta you, I swear. Gonna have you screaming and clawing at whatever you can get your hands on and I'm gonna keep going after you think you're spent and have no more left. Just keep on pounding away!"
His eyes darkened as he took her in again and she shivered.
"Looking forward to it, love."
"Fuck! Got me hard as a rock right now. I honestly just wanted to see you but now with your sexy body on display…"
Rhea wagged a finger before the screen. "Don't lie, Dean. It's not nice to lie to your girl."
"Shit."
She heard rustling and again the screen was moving but this time when it straightened she was rewarded with a view of his hard cock right in front of her face. She licked her lips and he groaned immediately reaching for himself.
"God damn, woman!"
"You sure you're up for this," She asked.
Dean scoffed. "When am I never up?"
Rhea grinned and moved to lay on her back, her eyes never leaving the screen. A yawn cut through her actions as she worked on shimmying out of her undies and Dean gave her a look.
"You sure you're up for this," He copied.
"I-" Another yawn broke through. "I...yeah." She blinked trying to clear her vision and saw Dean mentally fight with himself.
"Babe…"
"Come on, let's go," Rhea cut in, snatching up the pad, moving it over to hoover over her, tilting it downward just a bit. "Let's, play," She murmured.
Dean growled and gave himself a squeeze before starting up a slow stroke. "Touch yourself for me baby."
"Already on it," Rhea replied, tilting the iPad down even further. Dean took in a deep breath and started to speed up.
"Damn, I miss you babe and I know I keep saying that but shit, I miss touching on that body, kissing you, wrapping you up as I fuck you hard...Shit...I really wish I had your mouth right now."
Rhea took in a shaky breath, her free hand working at rubbing herself. She flicked at her clit with a finger and jerked. "Ssss.." She hissed.
"Yeah, touch that yummy pussy baby, imagine my face in between them thighs. God I love burying my tongue in you, fucking your tight little hole..you taste so good baby, flow so smoothly. Fucking delicacy." He groaned and she could not only see but hear the smacking his hand against his pelvis made, could see him shudder as he hit a spot just right.
"Mmmm. God, Dean. I really wish I could swirl my tongue around that tip, suck up that precum I love so much, make you gasp, cuss and moan as I slowly take you in my warm mouth."
She slid a finger into herself but quickly followed it with another. She whined. "Not enough…." A third finger and her breasts jiggled as she shook taking in the intrusion. "Dean, I need you," She whined some more.
"Oh yeah," He was working himself quick in time with her thrusts inside herself. "just like that baby. You'll have me darlin, you'll have me soon enough. Shit!"
"Oh Dean," Rhea breathed, the pad getting shaky in her hands. "I wish this was your cock. That nice, juicy, thick piece of meat plowing into my pussy as I," She gasped and started to pant like crazy.
"You close baby?"
"So close...so damn close." Her back arched and Dean nearly salivated, tongue hanging out the side of his mouth.
"Wish I could see your tits too."
"Want...want me to-"
"Shit no! Keep fingering that pussy," He growled. "I'm getting close, gonna blow."
Rhea keened at that. "Almost there lover."
"Fucking cum for me, Rhea," He rasped.
A thumb to her clit as she worked her pussy and his deep rasp had her falling apart before his eyes. Dean soon followed, his cum hitting his bare abdomen and chest as he moaned loudly, his eyes squeezing shut.
All that could be heard was heavy breathing as the two worked on catching their breath.
It was another moment and Dean glanced at his new tablet, via his girl, and frowned.
It was blank. All he could see was a black screen.
Her heard a soft snore a couple of seconds later and blinked in disbelief.
Really?
"She knocked herself out with her fingers huh? Ha, " He whispered.
He chuckled when he heard a louder snore and quickly worked on cleaning himself up with the towel from his shower from earlier.
A couple minutes passed as he settled in not able to hang up just yet and he shook his head, propping the stupid iPad up beside him against a pillow.
"Fucking chump," He grumbled.
Another beat and then he sighed.
"Goodnight...beautiful," He finished staring at the pad one last time before closing his eyes for the night.
