Monday Night Raw:
They were all at the arena getting ready for the show. Kate hadn't felt the best since waking up this morning. She felt drained as it seemed her and Seth had been traveling and going non stop for the last two weeks or so it seemed.
Kate had everything set up and she went to go meet Seth in catering.
"Hey baby still feeling like crap?" Seth asked.
"Yeah. I am just tired I guess and everything in here makes my stomach turn." She said.
"Well lucky for you I had one of the runners go get you some chicken noodle soup and some crackers." He told her showing her the to go bag in his hand.
"Aww you did? You are just to good to me Rollins." She said.
"You are worth it." He smiled kissing her forehead.
Seth grabbed a plate of food and they sat down in catering and they began to eat.
"This is so good. Thank You Seth. It's actually settling my stomach." She said munching on a saltine cracker.
"Glad to hear that because you throwing up is not a good look." He joked.
"Oh ha ha." She said hitting him playfully. "Believe me I didn't want you to see me like that. I told you not to come in." She told him. "I sounded like a sick dinosaur or something."
As Seth just chuckled. "It wasn't that bad."
"Not my best moment." Kate told him as she shivered a little bit.
"You cold baby?" He asked her.
"Yeah a little it's a little chilly in here." She admitted. When Seth stood up and took off his Black & Brave hoodie zip up sweatshirt he had on and he put it on Kate.
"Thanks." She said as she continued to eat her soup.
"You wanna come home with me this week?" Seth asked. "I have to be at Black & Brave this week and the coffee shop. But I would love it if you came with me."
"Actually I think I am just gonna head home. It seems like it's been a hot minute since I have been to my apartment."
"You sure baby?"
"Yeah but thank you for offering. I think I just wanna go home sleep and binge watch something on Netflix."
"Damn it we could Netflix and chill." Seth joked.
"We could but you have to go to Iowa. Damn." She joked back eating another saltine cracker.
"Good thing Chicago is only a few hours away." He smiled and winked at her.
Later that evening:
Kate was back in the bathroom getting sick once again. As good as the chicken soup tasted at the time it wasn't agreeing with her now. She stood up slowly and washed her face then brushed her teeth. Look at herself in mirror she fixed her pony tail. Then walked out of the bathroom and headed back to the trainers room. When Shane came up to her.
"Hey sweet girl. You got a minute?" Shane asked her.
"Not really. Raw is almost over. Wait shouldn't you be watching the show?" Kate asked as she was now putting her small travel bag in her backpack.
"I wanted to see you. I heard you weren't feeling well." He told her.
"Yeah and who told you that?" She asked rolling her eyes as she looked at Shane.
"Does it really matter? Sweet girl I can see your kinda pale." He stated moving closer to her and feeling her head. "You are a little warm." He said to her as she backed away from him and he looked down and noticed she was still wearing Seth's hoodie.
"Shane I am fine. I think I am just overly tired and it's something I ate yesterday. On the way to Raw. It's been a long few weeks. We went to my brothers wedding and I am just ready to go home."
"We? You took Rollins home? Shouldn't you be wearing your WWE shirt? Not supporting talent?" Shane scoffed at the thought of that.
"Shane I was cold and Seth let me wear his hoodie. I have my work shirt on under it. You didn't seem to have a problem when I wore your jersey?" She stated. "To answer your question yes I did. He met my family and they really like him. We had a great time. It's just been a lot of traveling lately."
"You looked way better in my jersey. Why didn't you ask me? I thought we talked about your brothers wedding around Rumble weekend. I would have went home with you." Shane said moving a little closer.
Kate couldn't help but laugh at the thought of that. "Right. Shane."
"What? You wouldn't want to take me home to meet the family?"
"Shane come on. You never wanted to meet my parents or my family. Besides how would that have worked? Mom, Dad this is Shane but don't get to attached to him because we wont ever get married because well he already has a wife." Kate said.
"Kate that's not fair." Shane said.
"Fair? We are talking fair now? You know what's not fair Shane. You treating me the way you did and for so long. I know it was my fault to so you are not all to blame. But you hide me away like trash. It took me awhile to see that you were never going to give me the life you promised. You aren't going to leave Marissa and you were never gonna marry me or even tell your family about us. But you know what hurts the most out all this shit that happened?" She said trying to hold in her tears. "Is the way you treated me a few weeks ago Shane. That broke my heart in more ways than you will ever know. You hurt me mentally and physically you showed me a side of you I never in a million years thought you had in you. That was enough for my to move on and not think twice about the choices I made in ending things with us." She explained to him staring at the McMahon standing in front of her.
"Kate you know I never meant to treat you like that. I don't know what came over me. You know I would never want to hurt you. I still love you and I want there to be an us. I am so damn sorry sweet girl. It kills me inside to think I hurt you like that. I was just mad and I let that get the best of me and I was a little rough. That wont ever happen again. Please just say you will give me … give us another chance. You know I love you so much." Shane asked touching her face softly with his hand as he rubbed his thumb softly over her lips.
"Shane. I am sorry. I just can't do that." She said as a wave of nausea came over her.
"Please. Don't do this." Shane said watching as Kate's face got a little whiter. "You alright Kate?"
Kate took a few deep breathes. "Yeah. Shane." She told him.
"I think you should go rest. I will tell my dad and Chris to give you tomorrow off. You need to go back to the hotel and rest. I will come check on you later." Shane told her.
"Thanks. But I am fine. It's almost the contract signing with Seth and AJ. I want to watch it." She told him. As Shane growled under his breathe they walked over to the monitors by the gorilla position where Stephanie, Hunter and Vince were all watching the show.
"Hi Kate." Stephanie said. "Seth's looking good out there."
"HI Stephanie. Yes he is. He wears that title well." She smiled so proud of all Seth has done.
"He makes a hell a champion." Vince said. "Seth vs AJ will be a show stopper at Money in the Bank."
"That it will be but for now I am all about Monday Night Rollins." Hunter smiled and winked at Kate.
"My money is on AJ. Seth will lose that title at Money in the Bank." He said moving closer to Kate.
"Not necessarily. Seth as Champion is working. He is making us good money out there." Vince said.
"I thought that is why we agreed to bring AJ to Raw." Shane said as Kate looked over at Shane and shook her head.
"You wanted AJ on Raw?" She asked as Hunter , Stephanie and Vince all looked at her.
"Yes I did. It was my idea. Dean left so we switched it up. I traded AJ for Roman." Shane explained to her.
"It was just a business dissension right Shane? Nothing more." Hunter questioned as he watched shane and Kate interact with one another.
"Of course. It was just business." Shane said flatly.
Kate rolled her eyes and looked at Shane. "It better have been just business." When she turned her attention to the monitors.
"You don't seem to understand what I am saying AJ. So let me spell it out for you. Look we have a lot of things in common we really do. And while our success stories maybe very similar as well there is one thing that separates us. One thing that I've done that you've never done. I beat Brock Lesnar. I beat Brock Lesnar and that is why I am standing here holding this and your standing there trying to take it away from me. You wanna know how I am holding up? How I'm doing? Ask Brock Lesnar because I was at my best when I beat him at Wrestlemania and I will be at my best at Money in the Bank. When I beat you." Seth said dropping the mic then placed the title on the table to sign the Money in the Bank contract.
When AJ reached over and grabbed the title to look at it. Seth watched him as he slowly walked around the table towards AJ. Who was staring at the Red Universal Title. AJ then handed it back to Seth as both men stood there staring at one another. When AJ reached out to shank his his hand. Seth smiled and held the title high about both of them. As the crowd cheered. AJ went to walk away when he then punched Seth and began attack him.
Kate watched the monitor not taking her eyes off it. She didn't know this was coming. Shane stood their watching off to the side of Kate with a grin on his face.
"Did you know about this?" Hunter asked Vince.
"Yes. Last minute change. Shane's idea." Vince stated. "Good TV huh?"
"Yeah something like that." Hunter said glancing over at Shane.
As Seth got the upper hand as they began to fight back and fourth.
"Your idea huh Shane?" Hunter asked.
"Yes it was." He said standing there proud.
When Seth did a suicide dive to AJ. Then got back in the ring and stood on the ropes.
"WHEN YOU START A FIGHT AJ YOU BETTER KNOW HOW TO FINISH IT!" Seth yelled at AJ who was slowly starting to get up on the outside of the ring. When Seth grabbed the title. When out of no where AJ was on the ring apron and punched Seth catching him off guard. Then AJ did the phenomenal forearm to Seth putting him through the table that was still in the center of the ring.
Kate watched on and cringed at the hard landing. "Damn."
"He's strong Kate. It's all good." Hunter whispered to her.
As Shane laughed. "Now that is great TV right Dad?"
"Hell of a way to end Raw." Vince said.
"What Shane? Making the Miz unconscious tonight wasn't enough for you? You just had to make AJ put Seth through a damn table?" Kate asked as her voice cracked a little.
"Katie Sweet heart you know this is just business nothing personal." He stated in front of Hunter , Stephanie and his father. Then Shane leaned in and whispered "You know I love you and I did tell you I was gonna make his life a living hell."
"Shane you are an ass hole." She said as she walked away going to make sure Seth was alright.
"Dude what the hell?" Hunter said.
"What?" Shane said standing there watching as Kate greeted Seth at the curtain as she was checking out his head.
"You said this wasn't personal." Hunter said looking in the direction Shane was looking.
"It's not. It was just good TV."
"Seems more personal to me. I don't know what the hell is going on. But it ENDS NOW!" Hunter said in his booming voice.
"You forget dear brother in law you don't run Raw yet. My father does." He told him patting Hunter on the back.
"Seth are you sure you are ok? That was a hard hit. Please let me go check you out?" She said.
"Kate baby I am fine. Are you OK you're shaking?" He said concerned.
"I am fine this isn't about me it's about you." She said as they got into the trainers room making Seth sit on the table. Kate getting a few things to check him over.
"Did .. did you pass out or black out or anything?" She asked her hands still shaking with the mini flash light in her hand as she was trying to check his eyes.
"Look at me I am fine." He said steadying her hand with one arm and placing his hand on her face with the other. "I am the beast slayer baby it takes more than one punch and a table to take me out." He told her as he pulled her into a deep passionate kiss.
"That you are. Sorry I don't know what's wrong with me today." She giggled kissing him again.
"You love me!" He stated simply.
"That I do Rollins. That I do." She said kissing him once again this time deepening the kiss.
"OOOO Sorry to interrupt." Hunter joked coming in to the trainers room. "Just wanted to make sure you were alright Rollins. Hard hit out there."
"Yeah I am fine boss. Not a huge deal. I have taken harder hits before. Besides what better reason to get seen by this sexy medical assistant." Seth grinned smacking Kate's ass.
"Seth!" She giggled as she blushed a bit.
Hunter just chuckled. "In all seriousness you handled the end of Raw great. How much of a heads up did you get?"
"About half hour I think it was. Vince came up and said the AJ was gonna attack me. The table thing that caught me by surprise damn." Seth said.
"Alright thanks. Get going and rest up." Hunter said. "You did good tonight Rollins."
"Thanks boss. Hey everything alright?" Seth asked standing up from the table.
"Yeah. For now." Hunter said leaving the room.
"What was that about?" Seth asked.
"Not sure. But I do know that it was Shane's idea for AJ to attack you and I don't think Vince knew about the table spot or he would have told you." Kate said.
"That son of a bitch." Seth said. "He really can't let this go?"
"Seth I am worried about you. He warned me that he was gonna make your life hell."
"Yeah well I can handle it and it seems Hunter is up to something." Seth said as he was standing there are stretching out his body.
"You sure you are alright you don't feel dizzy or anything?" Kate asked Seth watching him.
"I am fine baby. I should be asking you that. Did you get sick again?"
"Is it that obvious?" She asked him.
"Your breathe just smelled extra minty." He said kissing her forehead. "How about we get the hell out of here?" He suggested.
"Yes I am exhausted." Kate said.
As they gathered their stuff and headed back to the hotel. By the time Seth got out of the shower Kate was sound asleep in the bed. Seth crawled into bed with her and pulled her close to him as he kissed her cheek.
"I love you Kate and you have my heart." He whispered as he watched her sleeping until he drifted off to sleep himself.
