Chapter 7

I wasn't really feeling this party thing but I decided to shut up about it. I thought I would get use to the idea of it but when we finally got home after buying a whole bunch of different alcohol, I still wasn't feeling it. I helped Felix with the cleaning 'cause yeah, the house was already a mess after only a day.

"Are you OK?" Felix asked me as I was cleaning the dishes in the living room.

"Yeah…"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not really in the mood for a party." I let out in a sigh.

What was the point of lying to him anyway? He immediately knew something was wrong just by looking at me.

"Ah, come on Ali. It'll be fun!" Felix said with a big smile on his face. "We get to hang out with WWE Superstar! It's amazing!"

"How mad would you be if I was letting you enjoy this party with them by yourself?"

"Do you want me to cancel?"

"No, you can enjoy your night." I told him. "But I'm really tired, I think I'm just going to watch a movie in my bed and get some rest."

Felix insisted that he could cancel the whole thing but I didn't want him to do that. I knew how important it was for him to hang out with those guys, I wasn't going to ask him to cancel it. After all my best friend had done for me, I couldn't ask him to give up his plans for me. I just needed some time alone. He could perfectly enjoy a little party while I was upstairs, relaxing in front of my favorite movie. Felix asked me if I was alright and I smiled at him. He was always so worried about me. Just like a big brother would be. I assured him that everything was fine and I kissed his cheek before I headed upstairs.

After I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth, I made my way to my bedroom. It wasn't as big as the one Felix picked, but it was still pretty decent. You could say that the room once belong to a young teenager, judging by the bright colors, but I didn't really care about it though. The bed seemed pretty comfortable and it was all that really mattered. I stripped off the towel that I had wrapped around me and put on an old t-shirt and a pair of black boyshort. I brushed my hair and quickly dried them with the towel before I pulled them up in a messy bun. I'd look like hell tomorrow morning, but I didn't give a shit. I was on vacation, I wasn't trying to look cute for anyone.

I heard the bell ring as I was getting my laptop out of its bag. Felix had already put some music on and I couldn't stop myself from singing as I jumped on the bed. He and I had always loved hard rock music and I smiled when I heard the notes of our favorite song. I was glad to see that he stood by his taste in music and that he didn't put on some pop just to fit in. I put the laptop on the bed, put the earphones in my ear, started the movie and lied down on my back with a smile on my face.


An hour later, my eyes started to be heavier. As I was about to close them for good, my eyes caught something by my bedroom door.

"So this is where you've been hiding all this time." I heard when I pulled one of my earphones out.

Seth was standing there, smiling at me. The gray shirt that he was wearing made his skin look darker and he looked like a completely different person with his cap on. I had never seen him with one. His hair was either loose or tied in a messy bun and I couldn't stop myself from thinking that he looked handsome with his reverse cap.

"Yeah… wasn't feeling this whole party thing."

"Ziggler is looking for you."

"Ugh… please don't tell him I'm here."

I didn't want to see him. I wasn't in the mood for his flirting game.

"Don't worry, I won't." Seth said, laughing. "Are you feeling OK?"

"I'm fine, thanks." I answered with a smile. "I just wanted to relax and watch a movie."

"What are you watching?" Seth asked as he entered the bedroom.

I hold my breath when he sat next to me on the bed. He grabbed the earphone that wasn't in my ear and put it in his.

"Oh! Fight Club!" he said, smiling. "It's one of my favorite movies."

He took his cap off and put it on the nightstand before he lied down, resting his head on one of the pillows. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. I should've been mad at him but for some reason, I wasn't. After a couple of seconds, he turned to me and frowned his eyebrows.

"What?"

"Nothing." I said as I lied back down.

I tried to stay calm but for some reason I couldn't stop my heart from racing in my chest.


I slowly groaned as I opened my eyes. It took me a minute to remember where I was. For a moment, I completely forgot that I was in this amazing house in Los Angeles. This always happens to me when I travel and sleep in another bed than mine. At least for the first few days. On the bed, the laptop screen was black and the earphone wasn't in my ear anymore. Seth was still lying next to me and he was sleeping deeply. His hair wasn't in a bun anymore. He must have messed it up during his sleep. I stared at him for a couple of minutes. He just looked so peaceful and for the first time since I met him, he wasn't this arrogant asshole. I turned to look at the clock on the nightstand and heard him groaned. I lied back down and caught his gaze. His big brown chocolate eyes took my breath away for a couple of seconds.

"Hey."

"Hey." he said. "I fell asleep haven't I?"

"Yeah."

"Shit… what time is it?"

"It's 5:30 in the morning." I whispered.

The house was pretty quiet and I knew the party was over. Felix was probably in his bedroom, sleeping and I didn't want to wake him up.

"Ugh… the guys must be waiting for me…"

"I'm pretty sure they already left."

"I'm going to call a cab then." he said as he was slowly getting up.

"You can stay…"

My eyes were heavy and I closed them back. I didn't care if Seth was there or not. I just wanted to sleep.

"Are you sure?"

"You've been sleeping for the past two hours. An hour or two won't make any difference." I said with my eyes still closed. "And you're a lot less annoying when you're sleeping."

Seth laughed and I couldn't help but smile.

"You're a lot less bitchy when you're sleeping."

I looked at him and frowned my eyebrows. I turned my back on him and got out of bed.

"Come on, I was joking." Seth said, laughing. "Don't leave."

"Relax. I just wanted to put the laptop away and get under the blankets. I'm fucking cold."

I shut down the laptop cover and put it on the desk before I jumped back into the bed. I turned my back on Seth and wrapped myself into the blanket. I felt him move next to me and I thought he was leaving. As I was about to turn around to check up on him, he put his arm around my waist and gently brought me closer to his chest.

"What are you doing?" I said, trying to hide the fact that he was making me nervous.

I had not been that close to a man since my ex-boyfriend broke up with me a year ago. My heart was beating a million miles an hour and I couldn't breathe properly.

"You're cold, I'm warming you." he said with a sleepy voice, like it was the most normal thing in the world.

I didn't want to admit that I felt a lot better with my back against his chest. I tried to relax in his embrace, but it was easier said than done. I could feel his breath on my neck and it was sending shivers down my spine. It felt good. It felt weird. I couldn't think straight. Seth sighed and moved a little bit closer to me. I was spooning with Seth freaking Rollins.

"Dude, it's weird."

"No, it's not." he replied. "Now shut up and sleep."

"Don't tell me to shut up."

Seth's breathing started to slow down. He was falling asleep and I was about to do the same.

"Asshole." I whispered.

"Bitch." he replied.

I couldn't see him but I knew that he was smiling in my neck. I was smiling too.
