...Next Morning...
-Marissa's Hotel Room-
Marissa rolled over and saw Seth was still fast a sleep. She quietly stood up and made her way to grab some clothes off the table and went into the rest room.
15 minutes later...
Marissa walked out of the restroom wearing a pair of black spandex short shorts and a baby blue tank top surprised to see Seth still there sitting on the edge of the bed watching the morning news. "Hey..." Marissa said softly
Seth smiled "Hey..." Seth bit his lip looking her up and down "Damn your even beautiful fresh out of the shower with not an ounce of make up on..."
Marissa's cheeks blushed pink at the comments "Well thank you ... but I'll say I'm surprised your still here..." Marissa admitted
Seth stood up shaking his head "I'm not one of those guys Marissa..." Seth walked closer to her.
"Well I'm happy to hear that..." Marissa smiled "But I want to apologize..."
"For what?" Seth raised a brow "Are you talking about last night?" Seth questioned
Marissa nodded and sighed "I feel like I used you..."
"Well if that's using me... then feel free to anytime..." Seth laughed slightly and put his hands on her hips.
Marissa smiled and shook her head "I was wrong for it Seth..." Marissa sighed "But your the only person I could trust... and last night I just needed to feel wanted by someone anyone..."
Seth pulled her closer to him moving his hands so they clasped together around her waist. "Marissa... you can trust me... Always..." Seth said "You know how I feel about you ... You know how much I want you..."
Marissa nodded and placed her hands on his shoulders looking up at him.
"So... what does this mean for us?" Seth questioned
"I don't know... but I do know I don't want to rush into anything..." Marissa said softly
"Well.. we can go as slow as you'd like..." Seth smiled and leaned in and kissed the top of her head.
FAST FORWARD... (Night Of Extreme Rules)
-The Arena-
Marissa walked into the arena and let out a sigh it was the first time she'd been back in an arena for WWE sense the night of the incident with her brother/ ex husband about a week after she was released from the hospital she got the divorce papers in the mail and she was now officially divorced this time everything was right and she didn't have to worry about Trevor pulling something. Marissa smiled slightly when she saw Alicia Fox running up to her.
"Rissa..." Alicia pulled her into a hug the second she reached Marissa.
Marissa smiled and hugged her friend "Foxy.." Marissa smiled pulling back from the hug.
"I'm so glad your back..." Alicia smiled
"Me too..." Marissa smiled and hooked arms with Alicia and walked off with her.
-Backstage-
Randy was walking backstage along with ex wife Samantha Irene had taken Alanna to get something to eat at Catering. "You still seem so down..." Samantha looked up at Randy.
"I'm fine..." Randy shrugged it off.
"It's about Marissa isn't it?" Samantha questioned
"What makes you think that?" Randy shakes his head
"Ever sense you broke things off with her you haven't been yourself..." Samantha shook her head "If your so into her why would you break things off with her?"
"To protect her.." Randy spat he was trying to forget about Marissa but that wasn't going to happen if Samantha kept bring her up.
"From what?" She asked
"Her brother... that asshole had her committed all because she was dating me... I had to get her out of there..." Randy sighed
"Wow..." Samantha shook her head.
-Backstage-
Seth was standing on the wall next to Joey and Jamie he smiled when he saw Marissa walking with Brie he was admiring the way she looked in her mini dress the top of the dress was black and white striped V-neck that showed off plenty of cleavage the bottom of the dress was just black but it looked amazing hugging her curves and it was pulled together by a small black belt that was covered in rhinestones.
Seth pushed himself off the wall using his foot and walked towards the two women followed of course by Joey and Jamie.
"Hello beautiful..." Seth said as he reached the ladies he reached and hugged Marissa giving her a peck on the cheek as he pulled back he smiled at Brie "Good seeing you Brie.."
Brie nodded and looked at her phone "Bryan needs me.. your in good hands I see..I'll catch up with you later..." Brie hugged Marissa and walked off.
Seth smiled at Marissa and then looked over giving Jamie and Joey a look that said beat it. Joey and Jamie read it clearly and nodded and made them selves scares.
"Well they seemed in a rush.." Marissa laughed as hooked arms with Seth and they started walking.
"Yeah.. you know them..." Seth laughed also.
"Yeah.. I'm sure that look had nothing to do with it .." Marissa looked up at him and smiled
"Well.. maybe I just wanted you all to myself..." Seth moved the arm that was hook with hers around her back grabbing her other hand and interlacing their fingers and resting it on her hip. Marissa smiled as Seth pecked her cheek.
Marissa's smile faded when she saw Randy over next to Samantha and he didn't look very happy.
Randy instantly clinched his fists as he saw Seth kiss Marissa's cheek. Samantha looked over sensing the change and looked over to see Seth and Marissa and sighed.
Seth noticed Marissa's smile fall and saw what she was looking at. "Let's get out of here.." Seth said looking down at her.
"I thought I was going to be okay seeing him.. but I guess...I just I'm not ready..." Marissa shook her head
Seth shook his head and leaned down kissing the top of her head "It's okay ... it's going to take time ..." Seth said "Come on.." Seth then lead Marissa off.
Randy unclenched his fists slightly when they walked off. Samantha sighed "You know you don't have the right to be angry.." Samantha said
"I have every right.." Randy spat
"No ... you broke things off with her.. she's free to be with anyone... don't you want her happy?" Samantha shook her head
"Of course I want her to be happy.. but.." Randy shook his head
"But what?" Samantha raised a brow
"I want her to be happy really I do... and I want her to move on.. but.." Randy shook his head letting out a frustrated sigh.
"So do you want her to move on.. just not be with anyone?" Samantha looked at him trying to figure him out she was married to this man at one time but she'd never seen him like this before.
"No it's not that... she's free to be with anyone..." Randy said "ANYONE but Rollins.. she can't be with him.."
"Why not.. why can't she be with Seth?" Samantha shook her head
"Because.. he's a sneaky little weasel ... he doesn't deserve to be with her..." Randy clinched his fists tightly just thinking about Seth trying to get with Marissa.
"Who says they aren't together already?" Samantha questioned
"I swear.. I- I'll rip him to shreds " Randy closed his eyes trying to clam himself as he sees Irene walking up with Alanna.
-Backstage-
"You going to be okay?" Seth turns to Marissa once they made it too the backstage area where they were shooting promos for the WWE App.
Marissa sighed and nodded "I'll be fine.." Marissa forced a smiled.
Seth nodded "Well I've got to go... you've got my number if you need me.." Seth said and Marissa nodded then Seth leaned in and hugged her. Pulling back he smiles again and then walks off.
Nikki Bella walks up to Marissa "So.. what's going on with him?" Nikki questioned "Are you guys together?"
Marissa shook her head "No.. we are just friends.. "
"You seem really close.." Nikki leaned on Marissa's shoulder as if to say you can tell me. "So how close have you gotten?... have you guys.. you know?"
Marissa sighed and looked around "Once.. okay.. but I wasn't in the best place it was right after my brother pulled his stunt.. and well I wasn't thinking straight... " Marissa said "But... you know what Seth has been really great about it... he's okay with just being friends.. and taking things as slow as I need.." Marissa smiled
Nikki smiled "Well I'm glad you've found someone you can turn to.." Nikki said "but you know I'm always here if you need someone to talk to.." Nikki smiled
"I know.. and I'm happy I've got you and Brie.. you, Brie, and Foxy have been such good friends.. I don't know if I'd of made it with out friends like you..." Marissa smiled
"Well we are pretty damn good friends..." Nikki smiled "You sure know how to pick friends huh?..." Nikki laughed
