Chapter 11 – He Didn't Want Her
It had been a few weeks since Khloe had her run in with Seth. What made matters worse was every time she turned around; there he was. Seth's chocolaty depths stared at her; as if his soul was reconnecting to her soul. If she could just get him out of her mind it would be so much easier.
Marika was sitting at ringside with Brianna Garcia-Colace –who wrestled under Brie Bella; who also just happened to be dating Rika and Khloe's older brother Bryan- as they were talking they were watching as Bryan and Phil were grappling in the ring and Khloe was their referee.
Dark ocean blue eyes watched as Phil took her brother down with a head lock; cranking his neck while pushing his body on top of his. Khloe giggled when Phil grabbed a fist full of beard and was pulling on it.
"C'mon goat boy, tap you know you want to. The beautiful ref knows you want to." Phil taunted in Bryan's ear.
Bryan growled lowly. "Shut it mouth! If we're going to grapple let's grapple if not don't make me kick your scrawny girlfriends ass."
Khloe scowled. "Hey! How did I get brought into this?"
"BRYAN DANIELSON! I know you're not in there threatening your sister." Brie challenged from ring side next to Marika.
"Oh! BURN!" Rika chuckled.
Bryan rolled his eyes. "You got brought into his Khlo because you volunteered to be the ref. Brie if you would've volunteered to be the ref I'd be threatening you too." Bryan challenged and threatened right back.
"You couldn't handle all this in that ring buddy." Brie scoffed out as she stood up waved her hands around the front of her body.
Bryan growled. "What?" Bryan finally tapped on Phil's arm in defeat and stood up as he pushed his torso between the top and middle ropes. "Any time baby! Get your cute little ass in here and then we'll talk."
"YAY!" Khloe cheered as she watched Phil stand up before bouncing over and jumped into his arms; hooking her legs around his waist and placed kisses all over his face before capturing his lips fully.
Phil chuckled against her lips as his arms went down under her rear-end so she wouldn't fall. When she pulled back from his lips he chuckled again as his hazel eyes danced between hers. "Not that I'm complaining but can I get one of those every time I win?" He leaned over and placed her on her feet. She'd taken her sneakers off and was running around barefoot with jeans and a t-shirt on he had to make sure he didn't step on her toes.
Khloe smiled widely as she took his left hand in hers and raised his arm. "Winner and still WWE Champion; MY Punky."
Phil made a face. "Is it necessary to call me that?" He asked while sticking his tongue out.
"Actually yes it really is." Khloe nodded honestly as she smirked.
Phil growled as he suddenly scoop slammed Khloe to the matt. Obviously he did it gentle so she wouldn't feel it but it didn't stop her from squealing when Phil lifted her above his head and basically placed her on the matt and then jumped as if she bounced dramatically.
Three sets of eyes in the skybox area were watching the interaction with everyone in and around the ring. Roman looked at Seth whose eyes were fixed on Khloe Danielson. "Have you tried talking to her again?"
Seth shook his head. "What am I supposed to say? I'm sorry I was such a heartless unfeeling bastard and I didn't mean to let your goat face brother talk me out of our relationship like a fuckin idiot."
Dean shook his head. "No you're supposed to be honest with her. You tell her you were an idiot for letting her go and want her back."
Seth sighed heavily. "I'll see you guys in the locker room. I need some air."
Roman and Dean watched as their friend and stable mate walked away. "I almost want to go slap that girl senseless." Dean admitted.
Roman looked at Dean. "Bro it's not her fault Seth broke up with her. Granted it was the dumbest reason on the face of the earth especially after all they had been through the two years they'd been together, but Bryan really crept inside of his head; made him believe Khloe didn't want him when it was the farthest thing from the truth."
Dean nodded in understanding. "All the more reason to help them get back together; then beat the piss out of goat boy."
Roman smirked. "I think I got a plan for that, but you know we're going to need some kind of feminine help…like a friend." Grey orbs zeroed in on Tina. Word around the back was she and Khloe had become fast friends when they started working together in the medical department of WWE.
Dean chuckled as he watched a sly smirk slide across Roman's lips. "I love it when you start using that big head of yours as something other than a bulldozer."
"Asshole." Roman muttered as they both laughed it off and walked off to start their plan.
Khloe couldn't help laughing at Phil's theatrics. Phil laid on the matt next to Khloe as he captured her lips in a soft kiss. They were pulled from their intimate moment at Bryan's yelling.
"Ow – Ow – Ow!"
All eyes turned to the middle of the ring and laughter ensued at the sight of Brie with Bryan in a headlock as she tightened her grip she growled. "Say it Bryan! Say it or I'm going to make you pay."
"NEVER!" Bryan yelled triumphantly.
"Say it Bryan! Say it or I swear to God!" Brie threatened again. She applied more pressure around his neck.
"Ahhhhh!" Bryan yelled out of torture. "C'mon baby don't be so mean."
"Baby baby baby…" Brie mocked. "Say it." Brie demanded as laughter echoed through the arena.
"Dude, you might want to say it unless you want your girlfriend to pop your head off your shoulders like a tick." Phil chuckled from his spot spooned up behind Khloe on the matt.
Khloe nodded. "Yea big bro; I'd do as your girl says it could get pretty dangerous in a minute."
Bryan growled audibly as he struggled against his girlfriend's headlock. She wasn't easing up; not even a little bit and she wasn't joking either. He really shouldn't have challenged her. He had been the one who was helping train her in the ring on their days off. She would use a headlock against him because she knew he wouldn't lift her up and slam her like he would any opponent. She was the love of his life and there was no way he was going to hurt her like that.
"Okay – alright." Bryan conceded finally after Brie tightened her arm once more around his neck.
Brie side glanced at her boyfriend. "What do you have to say for yourself?" She asked knowingly.
Bryan chuckled when she finally released his head and went to his knees and dramatically bowed to her. "You are my Queen and I am forever your servant."
Brie laughed with everyone else. "You're not my servant babe. You are my King and I am you're Queen – as it should be. But you are my sex slave." Brie confessed as she bent over and kissed his lips.
Khloe cringed. "Oh c'mon guys I didn't need to hear all that."
Marika fake gagged as she slid into the ring and sat on the turnbuckle. "Stop I feel lunch coming up."
Bryan gave each of his sisters the finger before he pulled Brie to the ropes and jumped out of the ring. "WOOHOO!" Bryan exclaimed as he pulled Brie through the ropes and over his shoulder and jogged off to the back.
Marika shook her head at her brother when she noticed a few of the divas headed to the ring. It was time for their training session. "Okay you all get out of my ring. I have some divas to train."
Khloe followed Phil out of the ring as he walked her backstage. "I'm going to head to the gym we've still got 3 hours before Raw. I will see you in a couple of hours." He smiled softly as he kissed her lips and squeezed her waist.
Khloe smiled as she watched him jog to catch up with her brother and Brie before she turned and headed to her office she had some files to go over regarding a couple of the Diva's returning later that night. As she made her way down the hall she turned the corner she looked up and stopped herself from running into none other than Seth himself.
Seth's eyes snapped to hers. He felt like it had been decades since he'd seen her last. He watched as she stepped around him as if he had the plague. Seth spun around and grabbed her hand stopping her in her tracks.
Khloe rounded on Seth as she jerked her hand from his. "What do you want Seth?" She knew they couldn't just walk by each other without him having to say something to her.
What did he want?
Seth didn't even know what he wanted from her. If he was being honest with himself he wanted her. But at this point it didn't seem plausible. "I – I don't know what I want. I miss you. And I know I don't have the right to say things like that to you. But I can't help it."
Khloe shook her head. "You're right you don't have the right to say anything like that. You didn't want me anymore remember? We were moving in different directions and you couldn't see us staying together. You made the decision not me."
Seth stepped closer to Khloe until her back was against the wall and his chest was touching hers. Her scent of Sunflowers her favorite perfume was making his senses reel. He was getting intoxicated from her scent alone. "I know I made the decision. It was the wrong one." His voice was low and husky.
Khloe sucked in a breath as she felt Seth push his chest against hers; her palms were sweaty having him this close to her once again. She couldn't even believe she felt her panties dampen at the crotch because of the man standing in front of her. Her breathing became labored when his head dipped and his nose skimmed the side of her neck as she heard him take in her scent like he had done a thousand times before.
Seth smirked as he felt her chest rising and falling against his. He pulled his head back as his eyes locked with her dark ocean blue eyes. He couldn't help smiling as he watching her pink tongue come out and wet her dry lips.
God what was he doing to her? He knew – HE KNEW she was with someone else. Why would he bate her with these old tactics?
Simple really…
Because he knew they would work.
He knew how to make her weak for him; he always had a handle on his body and how to use it against her.
"Seth…" She whispered soft.
Seth covered her soft wet lips with his index finger quieting her for the moment. "Don't say it. Just let me enjoy this moment right now." He blinked before he replaced his finger with his lips.
Khloe couldn't stop the whimper against his lips and felt Seth's hands come up and cup her cheeks softly. She couldn't even stop herself as he swiped her bottom lip with his tongue and her lips parted; completely inviting his tongue into her mouth as she whimpered once against when his tongue caressed hers. Her hands vacated her sides and came up and gripped the sides of his black t-shirt that seemed to fit every muscle and curve of his body perfectly.
"I'm sorry Khloe – I just don't think things are going to work out. Our careers are going in two different directions. You are taking more classes to further your education for your massage therapy license and WWE just signed me to a developmental deal. We won't have nearly enough time for each other and I – I just don't believe we're going to have enough time for each other."
Khloe pulled away from Seth's lips as she blinked and tears slid down her cheeks. "You didn't want me, but Phil – he does. I can't do this Seth. I just can't. You hurt me and I don't know if you can ever make it right again." Khloe covered her mouth as she pushed him away from her and quickly left to cry in the peaceful quiet of her office.
She couldn't believe she just allowed another man who wasn't her boyfriend to kiss her. She couldn't deny she missed kisses like that from Seth. But it was his fault.
2 years ago, he didn't want her.
Why the hell would he want her now?
