Chapter 11

Roman took his hand and gently cupped her cheek. Her eyes widened and her entire body stiffened at the contact but she didn't pull away. He rubbed his thumb in a slow and deliberate back and forth soothing motion along her cheek before stroking her face with the back of his hand. He watched as her eyes fluttered closed while she leaned into his caress. He inched a little closer to her and placed both hands on either side of her face trapping some of her hair in-between his fingers as he did so.

"Guardami" (Look at me)

He tilted her head up so that he could look into her eyes as his thumbs continued to rub against her soft skin. He waited for Melanie to make eye contact with him before he continued.

"You want to know what I think. I think that you are so much more than just a beautiful face. I think that you are smart, funny, and absolutely amazing."

A small scoff escaped her lips "You don't know that, I could be a lunatic for all you know."

He couldn't help the chuckle that escaped from him before nodding his head in agreement. "True but two people who I trust completely absolutely adore you, and something tells me that they aren't both wrong." He said as he briefly entwined her hair in-between his fingers. He licked his bottom lip and inwardly groaned knowing that he was dangerously close to crossing the boundary. He slowly untangled his hands from her thick curls and propped himself up on his arm as he leaned to the side and raised his eyebrow before adding "Plus my other best friend is a lunatic and you are nothing like him, you may have heard of him before, he goes by the name Dean Ambrose."

Melanie grinned widely before letting out a laugh of her own "Ahh yess the third member of the defunct Shield, the unhinged one, I believe they call him the lunatic fringe" she said as she continued to laugh. Roman joined in on the laughter. "Yup that would be him."

By this time Seth and Sasha had long since ended their make out session but had remained silent as they observed the interaction between the two of them.

"There is that smile I like to see Lalelei." Roman said as he reached over and put her hair behind her ear.

"Okay that's it, one of you is going to tell me what the hell Lallita means?" Seth said

Roman rubbed his face in slight annoyance that his conversation with Melanie was interrupted. "It's Lalelei" he said as he moved his hands to coincide with each syllable.

"Lalela" Seth repeated

"LA-LE-LI" Roman enunciated as Sasha and Melanie giggled at the dumbfounded look on Seth's face.

Melanie put her hand on Romans arm. "You're just going to frustrate yourself, let me help you" she said as she continued to laugh while turning to Seth "It means none of your damn business two tone!" Roman chuckled as Seth threw a pillow hitting Melanie square in the head.

Melanie gasped before slowly turning to glare at him "You better quit it Seth...You don't want these type of problems with me, you know I'm already feeling some sort of way because you assholes woke me up this morning."

Seth sat up and looked at Melanie with a hint of trouble in his eye. "Oh yeah...what you gonna do if I don't quit it Mel?" he asked as he started to stand to his feet.

I clicked my tongue to the roof of my mouth. Before Seth had a chance to react I quickly jumped to my feet and launched myself forward, spearing him backwards onto the bed. He was caught off guard and landed diagonally on his back letting out a grunt as he did so. Sasha scurried out from under us as I quickly stood on the bed towering over him.

"Don't you hurt my boyfriend Mel" Sasha said pointing at me as she laughed from her seat on my bed.

Seth went to sit up, but I gave him a swift yes kick in his chest which momentarily knocked the air out of him and again knocked him flat on his back. Taking advantage of his position I quickly put him in a figure 4, but because of the awkward positioning I ended up locking it in and having my body hanging off the bed upside down from the waist up.

"Oh I won't hurt him." I yelled over Seth's screaming "But I do plan on teaching him a lesson" I said as I tightened my uncles signature leg lock.

"She told you, you didn't want none Seth" Roman laughed

"Shut the hell up Ro!" he screamed

"Don't' talk to him like that!" I said through my laughter.

"Oh My God let go Mel please!..." Seth pleaded

"Say it Seth!" I screamed. "You know the words I'm waiting to hear!"

"I fucking hate you!"

"Wrong answer" I said as I tightened the lock even more eliciting another scream from Seth. I looked back to see Roman and Sasha rolling on my bed in uncontrollable laughter.

"FINE...FINE!"

"SAY IT" I screamed as the tears from my laughter started to stream down my face and into my hairline since I was still upside down.

"Please let me go!"

Melanie loosened the lock just to re-tighten it.

"I can do this allllll morning, say it loud and say it proud Seth!"

"Oh MY GOD! – YOU MELANIE ARE A BETTER WRESTLER THAN ME SETH ROLLINS!"

"AND?!" She screamed

"I hate you so much!"

"Don't care Seth... SAY IT!"

"FUCK!" He screamed before grunting and saying "AND I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE, AND HONORED TO BREATHE THE SAME AIR AS YOU MY QUEEN." I immediately let him go from the figure 4, and placed my hands on the floor before doing a back walk over into a standing position. I looked at him and smirked as he writhed on the bed in pain. I looked over at Roman who was literally laughing himself into a stomach ache. Sasha wasn't doing any better, and I watched as she slid off the bed in an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
