Lexi turned over in bed and looked at her husband. His eyes were focused on the ceiling. She knew his mind was on Amelia.
"What are you thinking?", she asked softly.
He turned his head towards her and his blue eyes met her brown ones.
"I shouldn't have left the way I did", he said.
"Correct", she nodded.
"I got so pissed when she said she was old enough to do as she wants. Before all I had to do was give her a look and she wouldn't do it, but now", he sighed.
Lexi closed the space between them and kissed him before laying her head on his chest.
"You need to go back to L.A. and talk. It's like I said last night, you are both so much alike. When you don't like the way things are going, which is your way, you walk out and get pissed.", Lexi said.
"She has two more days of filming, then she comes home. I'll talk to her then, this way I know what I'm going to say", Dean said.
Lexi nodded. Their bedroom door opened and two little honey blonde heads popped in. Giggles and tiny feet running across to their bed. Lexi smiled and Dean smirked. He was going to miss when his last two joined them in the morning.
Luca and Lola climbed up their bed as much as they could. Dean reached over his wife and grabbed the back of Lola's shirt, lifting her onto the bed. She giggled like crazy before he set her down between he and his wife. Reaching over and taking a hold of Luca's shirt and doing the same.
"Daddy", Luca said happily.
He set her on his lap and she cuddled against his chest.
"Stay little forever", Dean said.
"Okay daddy", Lola replied.
Lexi kissed her daughter's head.
"If only that's all it took", Dean sighed.
Gracie got to the arena with Taylor. Chris noticed them when another coworker pointed them out. He waited till Taylor left to the women's locker room and Gracie to the seamstress department.
"Gracie", he said.
She looked over as she was setting up.
"Look, I know what you're thinking, but it's not that. Just, please don't say anything to Cat till I can talk to her", Chris said.
Gracie crossed her arms over her chest.
"You cheated on my sister and you want me to keep that from her? No deal. I'm sorry Chris, but she's family and my parents always taught us to stick together and stand up for each other. I have to tell her", Gracie said.
Chris looked a bit confused about what she said, before shaking his head. He needed to clear this up.
"No, Grace, I never cheated on Cat. Ever. I can promise you that", Chris said.
"I heard you and her, Chris. You think I'm an idiot or something? I'm not a fool, I know what I heard", Gracie said.
"No, Gracie, please let me explain to you first. Okay, before you say anything to Catherine, please.", Chris said, holding his hands together in a praying gesture.
Gracie gave in. She wanted to be wrong about Chris and Taylor. If Chris has a different story, then why shouldn't she hear him out. It's like they say, there's his story, her story, and then the truth.
"Fine", Gracie said.
Chris looked relieved.
"I promise to explain it all and if in the end you don't believe me, I will understand if you tell Cat.", Chris said.
Gracie nodded. Chris left and Gracie sat.
Cat joined Amelia at work. Lia was a bit embarrassed about how she had acted. It wasn't her. As they were walking down the halls, a few of her coworkers would look at Lia and then whisper before giggling.
"Ignore them, Lia", Cat whispered to her, nudging her gently.
Amelia kept walking.
"So does this mean Ryder is single now?", Amelia turned to see Luna Estrella, a masked Luchadora from Mexico.
Amelia glared at her. She had never gotten along with her since Luna had tried to intentionally injure her. Luna had been fired from the show.
"No, he's not.", Amelia replied.
"Too bad. He needs a real woman and not a little girl who has no clue what to do with a man.", Luna said.
Amelia glared at her.
"Stop acting like you know my boyfriend", Lia said.
"Oh sweetheart, I didn't hear that from Ryder. I heard it from another man", Luna smirked.
Amelia's glare faltered a bit.
"I heard Rafa was fantastic in bed. Is that true? You know, since you spread your legs for him so easy. I wonder what your boyfriend would have to say about that", Luna said.
"Nothing happened between Rafa and I. So keep your mouth shut when it comes to rumors", Amelia said, taking a step towards her.
"Rumors? I never said it was a rumor, Amelia.", Luna said, passing her.
Amelia quickly went down the hall and found Rafa's room. Cat caught up to her sister as Amelia pounded on his door. It swung open and Rafa raised a brow.
"Yeah?", he asked.
Amelia was seething. She couldn't believe he went around and told everyone what they almost had done.
"You said you wouldn't say anything", she said.
He chuckled and braced himself against the door.
"Listen kid, its nothing against you, this is business. We have to make our storyline look real, this was it", Rafa shrugged.
He looked her over and smirked.
"Besides, I never said I wasn't going to say anything.", he said.
She slapped him hard. He rubbed his cheek before licking his lips.
"I didn't deserve that. You were the one who came home with me", he said, taking a step towards her, towering over her.
Lia took a step back, not losing her composure. She wasn't going to give him that.
"You were the one who let me kiss you. You let me undress you. You, Lia, you, not me", he yelled.
Cat pushed herself between them and shoved him away as much as she could. He laughed at them and shook his head before rubbing his eyes.
"This is why I don't like working with privileged little brats. You think that just because your parents are these famous wrestlers, that you don't have to take responsibility for yourselves. News flash princess, you do. You are just as much to blame here as I am", Rafa said.
"You think that just because my parents are famous, that I didn't have to work for what I've gotten? I have. I worked my ass off and I'm not going to let someone like you ruin that or take it from me. My dad was right about you, you're an asshole", Lia said.
Rafa laughed.
"I knew asking for you in my storyline would work. Your daddy's last name is going to get me to WWE. Who knows, maybe I can get you in as a favor.", Rafa said.
Amelia was going to slap him again, but Cat held her back.
"Don't give him what he wants.", Cat whispered.
"Oh and by the way, you looked amazing on camera", Rafa said, before closing the door to his room.
Amelia looked taken aback. Cat looked at her.
"What's he talking about?", Cat asked.
They both took their phones out and looked online. There were pictures of her and Rafa kissing. Rafa's hand on her thigh. TMZ posted a story with pictures of her and Rafa inside his apartment.
Steamy wrestling affairs, Rafa El Rey's new love interest
Meet the woman in the photos
They named her parents. Chris and Wyatt as her brothers in law. Then came Ryder's name and a recent photo of them at her siblings birthday party. It felt like she couldn't breathe, she felt sick to her stomach. He was never going to forgive her for this.
Before his match, Chris had ran towards where Gracie was working.
"Have you checked your phone?", Chris asked, trying to catch his breath.
She shook her head no.
"You need to, and call your parents", Chris said.
She did as he said. Photos of her sister making out with Rafa. Photos of her in her bra, while Rafa was on top of her.
"Lia", she said softly.
"I have a match, call your parents and ask how they want to handle this.", Chris said.
Gracie nodded and did as he said. Hearing it ring before someone picked up.
"Mommy", Gracie said as soon as her mom answered.
"I know baby. Daddy is going to take care of it. Promise. You focus on work", Lexi said.
"But Lia", Gracie said.
"I've got her. Don't comment on it with anyone.", her mom said.
"Okay", Gracie said.
She hung up with her mom. She still couldn't focus, her little sister was in a very bad spot.
Lexi and Jon made their way to L.A. as soon as Cat called. Leaving the kids with Nikki, Brie, Seth, and Bryan. Dean was pissed, and she knew this wasn't going to be good for Rafa. Especially after Dean had made a short call to Roman.
"Please don't say I told you so to her", Lexi said softly.
Dean looked over at her.
"You really think I would say that to my kid? I thought you knew me better than that, Lex", he replied.
"I didn't mean that. I just want to get to my baby", she said, taking a deep breath.
He reached over and squeezed her hand.
"I know, Doll", he replied.
She looked over at him.
"I've never asked this of you. Ever.", she said.
He looked over.
"I want you to hurt him, Jon. Bad", she said.
"You've got it darlin", he said with a nod.
Cat had taken Lia home. The producers at Lucha Underground had told her she couldn't. That Lia, by contract had to stay there to film.
"You better get the fuck out of my way and let me take my sister. I am pregnant and not in the mood. Move", Cat has yelled at one of the producers.
Cat had pushed them through and to the hotel. Amelia was laying her head on her sister's lap and crying.
"I'm so stupid", Amelia hiccupped.
"No Lia, you aren't. He planned this, all of this. He took advantage of you", Cat said.
Cat brushed her sister's hair.
"Ryder is never going to forgive me for this", Amelia cried.
Chris had packed his bag and went to meet Gracie. He had called his wife to check on Amelia and told Cat he would be there soon.
"Were you two just going to leave without explaining?", they turned to see Ryder with his phone.
He looked up at them, tears in his eyes. Gracie took a step towards him.
"Ry, we don't know much. Just about those photos and what they posted. We've been trying to get ahold of my parents and Amelia, but neither are answering", Gracie said.
Ryder swallowed.
"I want to come. I need to know what really happened, if these are", he stopped and his tears fell.
Chris nodded.
"Let's go", he said.
