"You and that damn dog are not hanging out in my apartment for three weeks!" My cousin yelled at me the second he opened the door. To the world he was Detrick Cyrus NXT Champion to me he was my dweeby cousin who needed to get headbutted.
Detrick was about 5'11 with light brown skin, hazel eyes and cornrows literally every girls dream, he greatly resembled Trey Songs and had an ego to match. Okay I'm lying but that doesn't matter.
"It's bad enough you won't even puppy sit Luna when I'm on the road." I yelled back as I pushed my way inside ignoring his protests."I'm avoiding Seth and the guys right now and they still think we're on bad terms right now so nobody would ever think to look here."
"We are still on bad terms!" Detrick replied slamming the door shut." I did not forget what you did to Nya."
"Detrick I had a rough day and I would rather not discuss Nya at this moment in time." I say with a tight smile as I take the leash off of Luna and she literally goes crazy running all around the living room."Besides you've got Becky now."
"Katarina!"
"What my baby's having fun." I laugh as Luna comes to a stop in the middle of the rug."Lucky you she tired herself out."
"You are lucky we're family or I'd be tossing you out the window right now." Detrick replied going into his bedroom and slamming the door startling my poor precious Luna. I'm both shocked and amazed at Detrick still being mad at me, I mean I understand why he forbid me from coming to NXT but he should be on my side. All I did was hit the girl across her face with her own title minutes after he asked her out it wasn't even that bad. Long story short she effectively cancelled said date. It worked out in the long run he'd met Becky Lynch at a takeover and they'd been dating ever since.
Princess, Did you really have to block Seth? - Dean
Wait a minute how do I know if, I'm not also blocked? - Dean
Dammit, Kat unblock me - Dean
Nice one blocking Dean & Seth - Alexa
I don't know if I should laugh at the obvious joke Dean was trying to make or be mad I only had 4 text messages after finally turning my phone back on from last night.
I texted Dean back to relieve him of the Girly tantrum he might be throwing, and turned on the TV I had three weeks free so I might as well binge watch a show. I knew Detrick didn't plan on letting me hide out here the whole time so I planned on going back to Philadelphia sometime next week, the more distance I can put in between myself and Seth the better.
"Kat." Detrick said flopping down beside me as he snacked on a pop tart.
"Yes big cousin?" I asked flipping through the channels.
"What happened? You wouldn't willingly get suspended if it wasn't for a good reason." Detrick replied making me groan and slouch back into the couch.
"You know that gothic chick Seth dated before me?" I asked making Detrick roll his eyes.
"God, I hated her."
"Welp, apparently he let her come pick up her stuff which I don't know why it sat around for a year but long story short she claims they did the nasty and it's why he brought me my Barbie car out of guilt." I explained with a forced smile." Now before you question me, she showed me screenshots she had with Seth's actual number on them."
"That sucks, so did you guys break up?"
"I kinda went and happily took my suspension and then ran out the building." I replied not too proud of how I handled it.
"You didn't hit him or anything?" Detrick asked in shock." Well look at you maturing and shit"
"I wanted to but I don't know." I replied sighing." So now I'm hiding."
"You know after the next house show they'll all be flying down here, right?" Detrick asked making me slouch so hard I slid off the couch and onto the floor beside Luna.
"He'll never look here." I smile.
"You think that, if he knows you went to Florida there's literally only two maybe three places you'd be."
"My House, Naomi's House or yours." I sigh dramatically." So I should probably get the hell out of here right now then."
"As much as I'd like to have you and that poop machine out of here. I can't let you go around with a broken heart." Detrick said making me wipe my watery eyes.
"You love me!"
"I hate you." Detrick scoffs I climb to my feet and hug him tightly.
"Lying isn't attractive."
"So where did you run off too exactly?" Alexa asked from over the phone, I raised my eyebrows at her and she chuckled."Dean isn't here, I'm alone in my hotel room."
"No she isn't!" Mickie yelled from the other side of the room.
"Damn sure ain't." Sasha added from somewhere else.
"Nope." Jojo squeaked.
"Im trying to help you guys find her." Alexa rolls her eyes before turning her attention back to me.
"Yup, Aliyah already went to your house but nobody was there." Sasha yelled.
"Dude!" Jojo yelled.
"Alexa please put in your earphones." I say calmly, she gulped and did as she was told." I do not want them to know where I am, they'll just tell Seth. That is why you are the only one I trusted with that information."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, Bayley asked them so she could go see you." Alexa replied sheepishly.
"It's Fine." I smile.
"Wait are you talking to Alexa Bliss?" Detrick yelled from the kitchen making me promptly hang up.
"Why can't anybody keep a secret." I groaned.
"Two can only keep a secret if one of them is dead." Detrick teases making me regret my choice in binge watching PLL.
"You keep that up and I'll go mess up your chances with all the other NXT girls." I smile, I chose to run to Detrick because despite what we go through he always cheered me up. If I was any place else I would be crying eating ice cream which I actually think I want some right now.
"Do it." He challenges flopping down on the couch beside me.
"Great I'll just text Peyton, Billie and Ember that really awkward picture of you from your birthday party last year." I smirk unlocking my phone only to have it slapped out my hand.
"I've got Straight Fire, I don't care.." Detrick says with a nervouse smile." We've been cooped up in here for hours, let's go do something."
"I do not want to hang out with your little NXT buddies." I almost snarled as Detrick chuckled.
"Get dressed loser we're going out." Detrick replied going into his bedroom.
"I'm tired of you people saying that!" I yelled back as I started to go through my suitcase I went to my house first and took a nap before I packed up new things and went to Detricks. I pulled out a black maxi dress and a pair of Sandals before heading off into the bathroom and getting ready. 20 minutes later I came out to a waiting very impatiently Detrick.
"Aw you put Luna on her leash for me?" I smiled as Detrick swiftly turned and left the apartment with me trailing behind.
"I'm going to remember this Detrick." I said shaking my head in annoyance as soon as Seth appeared in front of us at the park."All me and Luna wanted was a nice day at the dog park."
"Luna's gonna still have a good time." Detrick yelled over his shoulder as he walked off with my dog whom he hates so much.
"You better not purposely lose my dog!" I yelled back but he just gave me the finger in response.
"Are you even going to look at me?" Seth asked I turned my back and crossed my arms.
"Why are you even here?" I asked annoyed as he walked around me.
"To bring you back, you know how hard it is to call out sick?" Seth joked making me scoff.
"And how did you find me?" I asked tapping my foot, if Detrick told on me I was gonna hit him with his title next.
"You share your location with me." Seth replied making me groan over my own stupidity, I didn't turn that off until I landed. "Aliyah went to your house, you weren't there, and Naomi's on the road so you wouldn't go there."
"That doesn't explain how you knew I was here at the damn dog park."
"You are aware people have been taking your picture since you got here, right?" Seth replied making me look around noticing a few people put their phones away slowly.
"Right." I replied with a shrug."Can you just go back to where you came from so I can figure this shit out?"
"You're asking me to leave you alone for two weeks?" Seth asked as the hurt slowly seeped into his voice making me frown.
"You're Lucky Detrick is still being petty to me, and didn't punch you." I reply crossing my arms."But yes, I don't want to talk to you right now but I do need to hear from you."
"Roman, Dean, & Finn all hit me." Seth replied.
"I'm still gonna punch him, but I wanted you to hear him out first." Detrick yelled from a few yards away making me roll my eyes.
"Nosey ass." I muttered shaking my head.
"Okay so how about this, next week I have to go check up on Black & Brave meet me there." Seth finally said although he clearly didn't want to wait that long.
"I'm just suppose to fly out to Davenport?" I asked tapping my foot.
"You want space and I want to talk to you about everything, consider it a compromise." He smiled slightly making me smile back."You're smiling that's a yes."
"You'll always make me smile." I replied shaking my head."But fine I'll see you next Thursday."
"Great." Seth beamed at me before walking off as Detrick made his way back over.
"Soo?"
"Shut up or I'll shove your face into dog doodie." I threaten as we both watch Seth's retreating form.
"What the hell!" I yelled as we watched Smackdown Live later on that night with Peyton, Billie & Drew McIntyre.
"She's gonna be sore." Drew commented as the replay showed of Naomi getting tossed face first into the steel steps.
"Blonde Squad is way more badass than Absolution." Detrick commented making me whip my head over and glare.
"But nobody is more badass than the Iconic Duo." Peyton grinned making me whip my head in her direction next and glare.
"Have some compassion her friends face is hurt." Billie said I wasn't sure if she was teasing me also or if she was being serious.
"She's a tough one she'll be fine." Drew said making me smile a bit.
"Well, Detrick I'll be out of your bachelor pad sooner rather than later I guess." I replied pulling out my phone to text Naomi & Jimmy.
"Thank you!" Detrick smiled making me pout.
Two days later Naomi was home and I was out of Detricks hair and now staying with her instead.
"How do you know for a fact that's the whole story?" Naomi asked as we both sat cross legged on her couch while she held an ice pack over her eyes.
"She actually had Seth's numbers on her screenshots this time." I replied weakly.
"And she's photoshopped that before, sis." Naomi said shaking her head or atleast I think she was."Have you talked to any of the guys?"
"I still talk to them, Seth was down here a few days ago." I said.
"If he did what she claims would he have flown all the way out here? He might've had to sell his soul again to even get out of those house shows he missed."
"So you're really Team Seth." I joke with a teasing smile, she lowers her ice pack and rolls her eyes at me slowly.
"Everyone ships Setrina Rove."
"That sounds gross." I laugh.
"Fine Fine, Kath Lollings." She added making me laugh again.
"So how was day 3 of suspension?"
"I've watched all of pretty little liars." I replied.
"So you sat around for three whole days?" Naomi asked in shock.
"Of course not, I went out once." I smiled." I kinda want to go to NXT next week but Detrick banned me from there."
"After that incident?"
"She'll be fine." I shrugged before turning my attention to her assessing the damage, her shoulder was a bit banged up, along with her face and neck."I'm going to strangle Summer when I see her."
"Trust me I will too." Naomi said shaking her head."Who thinks to slingshot someone's face into the steps."
"A monster."
"I'm sure Charlotte will take care of them in the meantime." Naomi sighed.
The following week. . .
Sadly all good things come to an end, and as I agreed with Seth I was on a plane to Davenport Wednesday morning.
"Katarina." A voice called from behind me, making me whip around fast. In front of me stood a stunning dark haired woman with bright blue eyes, she strongly resembled Adriana Lima ( The most gorgeous Victoria Secret Angel ever ). In her high heeled boots she was just a bit shorter than me.
"Devin?" I asked shocked, the last time Seth talked to me about his baby sister she was traveling the world.
"The world must be about to end." She joked."We're literally the last two people you'd expect to see in a Davenport airport."
"Yeah, I thought you were in like Spain?" I asked as we carried our luggage, there was two types of Divas in this world, your traditional girly girl that I am and then your Devin type the perfect blend of girly and edgy rocker.
"Last month, I'm actually going to be home for about a month I'm doing some training with Black & Brave." She explained.
"After you just were killing it in different places in the world?" I asked skeptically just like Seth, Devin was extremely impressive in the ring and was extremely popular on the independents right now, she'd been with the WWE back in 2012-15 but left to do bigger things.
"Nothing wrong with constantly improving." She shrugged glancing at her phone." Do you have a ride? Dolph's picking me up."
"I guess I do now." I smiled as she rolled her eyes.
"You're lucky that was an invite."
"So Dolph as in Dolph Ziggler?" I teased with a small smirk watching her cheeks heat up slightly."That is so cute."
"Come on before I leave you here." She started to walk faster making me laugh, they'd been dating since before Devin left the WWE and she still blushed every time someone else mentioned his name to her.
"Somewhere somebody is marking out." Dolph joked as we drove through the streets with Devin riding shotgun and myself in the back.
"Seth's fangirls." I commented.
"Must be their dream and worst nightmare to see us together." Devin added.
"And then somewhere somebody's hash-tagging Devin's return confirmed." I said as Dolph and Devin both chuckled almost nervously sounding. "Oh my god it really is!"
"We do not know what you're talking about." Devin said quickly.
"Oh my god let's get food." Dolph added making me laugh. So a surprise return was imminent.
"I'll forget all about you guys secret as long as one of you buys me chocolate chip pancakes." I smirked as Devin sighed relieved.
"All the pancakes you can eat Kitty Kat." Dolph grinned back at me for a second before turning his attention back to the road.
"You are going to make the most amazing brother in law one day." I smiled as once again a round of nervous chuckling echoed through the car."I'm going to also ignore that since my pancakes were upped to all I can eat without me blackmailing anyone."
"So December 18ths the big day." Devin smiled as we finally came to a stop in an IHOP Parking lot.
"For me or you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow as we climbed out the car.
"For you." Dolph said as he and Devin walked hand in hand in front of me.
"It's only the 6th." I groaned, when I was injured time was moving so much faster than right now 12 more days and I would be back on the road. I'd been keeping up with Raw so I'd know whose ass I was kicking when I came back, so far Seth/ Dean hadn't reclaimed those tag titles yet, Alexa managed to retain her belt against Paige via DQ, Sasha, Mickie & Bayley were still fighting Absolution.
A waitress immediately sat us and we didn't even need to look over our menus, I'm guessing the second I said pancakes they already mentally knew what they were ordering once we got here.
"So why are you here and my brother isn't?" Devin finally asked as Dolph slid out the booth to go to the bathroom.
"Trouble in paradise." I sighed." It comes in the form of that Glampire chick he dated."
"Ah Nazi girl." Devin said shrugging before looking up with her eyes wide." Wait what?"
"That's who I assaulted." I replied watching Devin giggle slightly." She basically said Seth cheated with her, showed me screenshots and all." I added lowly.
"He would never." She immediately said dismissing it." I know how things went with Leighla & Zahra, but it's different with you."
"Of course you'll say that he's your brother." I replied.
"That's how I know he's different." She scoffed." I wouldn't lie to you for him, the way his face lights up when he hears your name, he's always talking about you, when you were out rehabbing that shoulder he was worried as hell."
"But -" I started but she cut me off.
"He loves you, I don't know how or why." She jokingly smiled at me."But he does."
"Foods coming!" Dolph gleefully said sliding back beside Devin as our waitress came walking behind him.
"My darling Luna." I smiled as Seth face timed me holding my puppy, Luna had never spent time out of Florida, I usually left her with Naomi and Jimmy's kids as a loophole around their no dog rule. She barked happily once she heard my voice which triggered his dog Kevin to start barking.
"So you are at my apartment." Seth grinned once the barking died down.
"I was going to stay at a hotel but everybody is so Team Seth." I laughed as I rubbed Kevin's belly."Besides I have half a wardrobe here already I barely packed."
"So you brought just the duffel bag this time?"
"Okay not that light just my little suitcase with the wheels." I said as he laughed again."Did you know Dev's home?"
"She is?"
"Yeah I ran into her at the airport. She said something about training at Black & Brave." I replied watching Seth shake his head and roll his eyes."How did you think I got in your apartment?"
"She just invites herself."
"What are you going to do? Fight her? She'll win." I laugh getting a bit more comfortable in bed.
"Are you saying she's better than me?" Seth asked.
"I didn't say she wasn't." I teased.
"I'm getting ready to head to the airport so I can be there when you wake up." Seth said calling for Luna to come back.
"Make sure you grab her purple carrier, and pack her favorite toys you know which ones." I smile as Seth rolls his eyes.
"She's going in her black carrier and I'm packing her one toy, she can share with Kevin."
"You're so mean to us." I pouted as Seth chuckled before flipping the camera around revealing my pup inside the purple carrier already.
"I love you, see you soon." Seth said.
"Love you too." We hung up and I put my phone down on my night stand, Seth would only be here until Sunday then he's back on the road and I'll be heading home, home to see my dad before I head back to Florida to drop Luna off.
"Luna be nice." I hear Seth chastising my dog, I slowly sit up and check the time on my phone. 6 am, why? Sliding out of bed I go in the bathroom to brush my teeth before meeting Seth in the living room, while he tries to deal with his excited dog along with my jealous dog at the same time.
"Luna." I call leaning on the doorway the dog immediately breaks away and hurdles toward me. I scoop her up and smile as she eagerly licks at my face.
"Did we wake you?" Seth asked sheepishly I could tell he literally just walked in.
"Yeah, gotta learn to handle that doggie drama better." I smile placing Luna back on the floor, she gave Seth and Kevin a look before going to explore the house.
"She's a diva like her mom and she still hates me." Seth explained making me laugh." So should we talk before or after we go to the school?"
"Right nows fine." I replied as Seth slowly sat down beside me, carefully moving his lamp from beside me to the floor and pushing the coffee table away a bit with his foot.
"So whatever you did would make me throw that lamp and flip the table?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"I was worried you'd throw the table and flip the lamp, you have a flair for the dramatics."
"Okay if anything I'd flip the couch." I cross my arms and legs at the same time.
"First what exactly did she tell you?" He asked.
"She said when she came over here to pick up her stuff a year into us dating you guys bumped gothic uglies." I replied with slight disgust.
"I'm mildly offended, and if that was the case I wouldn't have went out of my way to get you that amazing Valentines/Birthday gift." Seth said looking irritated.
"She said it was a guilt gift."
"She's just jealous I never brought her gifts like that." Seth said shaking his head." We didn't bump gothic uglies, she kissed me and I kissed her back for like 10 seconds that's it."
"She spun a kiss into all that?" I asked annoyed.
"What exactly did those messages say?"
"Just that it was a mistake and she meaning me, can not find out about it, Zahra says some shit like she loves you still and wants it to keep happening and then you said to never speak to you again." I paraphrased, I didn't remember exactly what everything said but that was close enough.
"A freaking Ashton Martin as a guilt gift." Seth laughed." Plus the custom paint job, you are both crazy."
"Shut up." I say feeling embarrassed a bit but at the same time relieved." But I also have to tell you something."
A/N: I meant to put this last time I mentioned Zahra but I'm not like hating on her or anything, the idea to even include her came from Paige's picture with her backstage at Raw in Tennessee, she might be a wonderful girl. I'm going to skip over to when Katarina comes back since her spending time at home wouldn't be the most interesting. Besides I'll torture you all with it when the Rumble Chapter comes up :)
Shout out to ForeverRebel & The Lucha Warrior for allowing me to use two very important Ocs to Katarina's life, Devin Rollins & Detrick Cyrus,respectively. There's a third Oc who you'll be seeing soon ;)
