So, Happy New Year! I've been kinda slacking with this fic, and I apologize for that. I'm hoping to get my muse back with it, and any suggestions would be more than welcomed! There's some mature content at the beginning. Enjoy!
Things for the champ could not go better; he was at the top of the mountain professionally, winning by any means necessary, and personally? Well, that wasn't so bad either. He and Kari were in the process of moving in together, that was, whenever the schedule allowed it.
Seth tossed in his sleep, his eyes half lidded as sunlight poured in from the curtains of Kari's Chicago apartment. He knew he probably had to get up soon, but he'd enjoy whatever time he got. It wasn't until he something wet engulf his half-hard shaft that he peaked under the covers. Kari smiled nefariously as she bobbed her head, figuring it was a good enough wake up call.
"H-holy shit…Beade…" He groaned as she moved faster, her hand taking over whatever the brunette couldn't reach. The Iowan reached down and grabbed her hair, tugging viciously as balls pulled taut to his shaft. She gasped around his cock as he pulled and doubled her efforts; determined to make him come before they went about their day.
Kari looked up at Seth's wanton eyes, lust clouding his vision. She swirled her tongue around his tip, and soon enough, he came to his release, moaning her name in the empty bedroom as she swallowed his load. The brunette coaxed him down from his orgasm, drawing circles in his thighs before slowly crawling up his body.
"Well, good morning to you, too." Seth laughed, exasperated.
"Figured you might appreciate that…So, I know you wanna get to a gym today, but just keep yourself available tonight, okay? Phil and Cabana are coming by for dinner…They're insisting on playing catch up, and I don't have the heart to tell them no." She said, her grin unwavering as she anticipated his reaction.
"As much as I…love Phil's company…" Seth began before he looked at his girlfriend's pleading eyes. "Chinese or Pizza?" He asked and watched as Kari sat up on her knees.
"The boys will love pizza. Thank you for being so cool about this, baby. I promise, I'll make it worth your while. Now, up, shower and get to CrossFit before I have to hear about a WOD." Kari joked as Seth frowned, which prompted the brunette to peck his lips gently. Seth, meanwhile, pulled her on top of him and began to tickle and kiss her.
The day had passed as Kari tidied up the apartment and called her favorite pizza restaurant. They were one of the few that actually had the option for pizza like she had at home, so that was always her go to. Seth had strolled into the living room; kicked his shoes off and tossed his gym bag to the side as if he were home.
"Hey now, you're not in a barn, Rollins, put that shit in the bedroom." She said with a pointed look as she wiped down the counters.
"Yes, mom…" He sighed as he rolled his eyes, picked up his stuff and headed to their bedroom.
"I mean, if you're into that sorta thing, yeah…" She laughed as the doorbell rang. Kari walked to the door and greeted her guests with a smile.
"Jesus, they let you into the building with those beards?" The brunette quipped as she hugged Colt, and then Phil.
"Well, they let you live here, so…" Phil offered.
"Where's the dude?" Colt asked as he looked around. "I gotta say, I'm pretty surprised he's stuck around this long…He didn't find that thing you do with your tongue weird?" He chuckled as Seth walked behind Kari, who kicked the taller man in the shin.
"Not like you would know what that thing is…" She huffed as Seth greeted the two, his handshake with Phil a bit more firm as they looked at each other quizzically.
Kari ushered everyone to the living room and turned on the TV before she grabbed drinks for everyone from the fridge. She settled in next to Seth, nuzzling close to him as he wrapped an arm around her waist, garnering a look from Phil as Cabana continued to talk about whatever was on the television at that moment. Seth looked back at the tattooed man with a furrowed brow before the doorbell rang again.
"That's probably the pizza." Kari said as she began to get up. Seth had stopped her midway, pecking her lips before he got up and paid for the pizza. He grabbed plates and brought them over to the coffee table, setting up the food for everyone to eat.
"Wow, he pays for pizza, sets the table…You better put a ring on it, Beade." Colt quipped, causing Kari to throw a pillow at him before she grabbed slices for her and Seth. She handed him his plate before sitting back down next to him. Phil quietly observed the two, this time Kari looking at her friend.
"Is there something…wrong, Phil?" She asked, earning a shake of his head as he ate his slice.
A few hours had passed as they ate and watched the hockey game on the television, the monotony only broken by Kari getting up and going to the bathroom. Seth immediately turned to Phil and let out a sigh.
"Look, if you got a problem with me and Kari, then talk to me about it." He said pointedly as the older man glared at him.
"I don't have any problem, Sparky. I just don't want my best friend getting hurt by some asshole."
"Well, I can assure you that she's not…"
Cabana looked up from his cup. "Why are you all in her business anyway, man?"
Seth shook his head and folded his arms. Phil had taken a sip from his drink before he began.
"I…used her when were together. It was just a convenient thing; she was around and she wasn't a total psychopath…I never felt the same way she did, and when we split, I just told her that we were better off as friends and left it at that." He gulped as he saw Seth's eyes go dark.
"So because you were an asshole to her, you decide to be up her ass? That's why you're giving me a hard time?"
Meanwhile, Kari had sat in the bathroom, unintentionally overhearing the entire conversation and bubbling over with tears. She sniffled before she got out of the bathroom, moving into the kitchen and fiddling with the bottles in the fridge.
As Phil stuttered, an annoyed Seth shook his head. "She's been gone a while. Excuse me." He said as the two friends were left to look at each other with inquiring looks, Phil's head hanging shamefully. Seth got up, and before he could walk down the hall to the bathroom, he spotted Kari bent over in the fridge. "Everything okay, Kar Bear?" He asked.
Kari turned around with bloodshot eyes and nodded.
"Now, I've been around long enough to know that's a load of crap…" He chuckled as she stood up, and took her hand.
"I…I heard everything. I always had an inkling that…that was true, I just didn't need the confirmation." She sniffled, her eyes cast downward. Seth looked at his girlfriend sadly and took a deep breath.
"Kari, I promise, that will never happen to you…Not with me. You are it, through and through, and I'll spend every day of my life proving that to you if I have to. I love you more than anything else in this world." He said as he turned her chin up to meet her eyes.
"I love you, too." She said softly, wiping her face before she leaned in to kiss him gently. Seth kissed her back slowly and pulled her tight to his body. The moment was only broken up by a clearing of someone's throat. They both looked up, Seth's infuriated glare penetrating Phil's interruption.
"What could you possibly have to say?" He snarled.
"Look, Kar…I'm sorry. I harbored a lot of guilt because of what I did and I took that out on whatever jer—guys you dated. You've got a good guy on your hands…You two deserve each other." He sighed, his guilty eyes looking at the couple.
Kari gripped Seth tight and simply nodded. "He is pretty great." She smiled and looked up at her boyfriend. With a nod, Phil and Colt left the apartment; leaving the couple standing in the kitchen quietly.
