Hello everyone,
Here is another chapter for this story. Sorry for the wait for this chapter.
Chapter Twenty-one:
Household:
"I think my daughter has a crush." Lily teasing her when she got off the phone
"Momma, I don't have a crush. I am just considered about my friend." Huffing
"Okay, no more huffing. April, I am proud that you would check-up on a boy that you want to hang out with everyday." Chuckling
"You two are mean. I'm going back to people that treats me like a Queen." Huffing again while walking to the pool
"Wait, come on sweetie. I am just proud that you are at your pass 'boys aren't yucky' stage. Please forgive me." Pouting
"I don't know. You seem happy now that when we picked you up, so okay. I'll forgive you momma, but I don't have a crush." Hugging her
"Okay sweetie." Hugging her back
"How about me, do you forgive me?" Roman asking
"Nope." Lily giggles
"What? But I was just following your momma's lead. It is her plan to tease you not me." Roman shock and trying to defend his actions
"Wow, really you are blaming my mom for the plan. I am surprise at you, Uncle Roman." Lily pretends to disappoint by putting on a disappointing face
"Lily, help me with her she doesn't believe me." Roman goes up to Lily and pouts just like they do
"I don't know. The plan of yours was really mean to her you know how she is. You also know that they are just friends." Lily smirks playing along with her daughter
"Oh come on." Roman throws his hands in the air not believing that they are gaining up on him
"I think you can forgive him, but under some certain circumstances."
"No circumstances. April, do you want to know why your momma was upset earlier?"
Roman says playing into the game by turn the tables at them.
"Yes I do." April getting excited by nodding her quickly
"Well, at her work, she..."
Lily covers his mouth with her hand.
"Why don't you go to the pool and tell everyone that we will be there shortly?" Lily smiles with her hand still on Roman's mouth to not tell her secret.
"Okay." April says confuse at their words and actions "Oh don't worry Uncle Roman I don't gave to forgive you because I know it was momma's plan."
Roman is trying to get to remove Lily's hand from his mouth by tickling her, but it doesn't work. Lily just looks at him like a 'seriously, did you forget I'm ticklish' look.
"I think your Auntie AJ is calling for you, you better hurry. You don't want to keep your favourite auntie waiting."
April just giggles at their actions now before skipping to the pool. When Lily sees that April is out of sight and without ear shot, Lily takes her hand out of Roman's mouth.
"You can't tell her. She is going to worry about me and I don't want her too because she should be a kid. I won't let go with anymore drama she has too much for these past years.
"She has a right to know and so does Punk; they are your family. Families are supposed to be there to help you get through these situations. Maybe they actually help figure out who is behind this whole situation."
Roman wraps his arms around her waist to bring her closer. He is looking her in the eye making sure she is getting the full meaning about what he is saying.
"Roman it was just messages. Maybe it wasn't them and I am just overreacting." Lily holds him closer to feel the comfort knowing it is a high chance it is really them who are sending the messages.
"What if they aren't? Lily, you can get hurt and I can't live with myself knowing I can stop it." Roman rubs her arms to comfort her even more.
"I just don't want to ruin today. Everyone is happy, you are getting along with everyone, and April may have her first crush. Everything is good and peaceful, so no I am not going to ruin that." Lily lays her head on his chest.
"I know baby, but you know Punk and John better than anyone, well besides AJ and Nikki, so you know that tomorrow it will not be this way. You know that they won't stop until they know that you two are safe. Do you want to know how I know that?" April shrugs. "I know that by the first interactions with them. You might not like Punk being over protective, but any guy would be stupid to not want that for the girl they love. They know, even though they don't show it that she is protected when he can't be around to do so. Lily, we have to tell them, well at least Punk. I can pass for today, but we have to tell them tomorrow. I am going to talk to April about what she is feeling because you are right. Earlier today is no way for her to think at this age. She should be having fun and not have a care in the world. She shouldn't have to look behind or panic when someone touches her. She shouldn't live that way and I'm doing something about it. You didn't see her face when I picked her up." Roman sighs remembering the situation with April earlier today. "I never want to see that look on her face ever again."
Lily sniffles into his chest, as well as bringing even closer if that is even possible.
"I'm sorry to hear that, but for today can we just be happy while we hang out with my friends." Lily tries to stop crying.
Roman lifts her chin up to see the tears on her face. "Our friends." As he is wipes the tears when Lily's face.
The pool
"So what do think about Roman?" AJ asks
"He seems like a cool guy." Kofi says
"Yeah, maybe we finally have a guy who can beat Punk in a game." Colt says all excited
"I doubt that. No one will ever beat me specially if I have my wife by my side." Punk pecks her cheek as AJ sticks her tongue at Colt
"He is well built. He can protect Lily when you are not around." John says
"Yeah, that is a big factor when I saw him. Plus, I know he really like Lily the way Lily likes him." Punk says
"So does that mean he gets your full blessings to date Lily?" AJ asks surprise at Punk's words about Roman
"I...maybe he does, but don't..."
"Cannon ball."
April yells out before going into the water. April comes back to the surface and starts to giggle as well as unplugging her nose.
"You do know how to make an entrance just like your uncles." Nikki says noticing how John likes to barge or interrupt everyone, especially Punk.
"Well thank you, so what is going on here? Are you guys behaving yourself?" April acts like the parents of them by accusing them.
"Of course we are my Queen. We have done no funny business." Punk says
"Yah right Uncle Punk I know how you are with Auntie AJ." Crosses her arms
"Oooo...someone got busted. Why didn't we have April versus Punk? We know that April will defeat Punk." Colt says
"We can if it is an individual match, but it was a team event. April, our Queen need a partner."
"Our Queen, do you have a partner to defeat your Uncle Punk and Auntie AJ?" Colt asks knowing this is his chance to have Punk actually lose a competition, hopefully to him.
"I do, but that won't save you from them picking your outfits for the month." April smiles knowing that she is being used just so someone else with win the competitions.
"Ooo...our Queen is on a roll." John says with everyone just chuckles quietly
"Punk, you have to stop teaching April how to back talk it is very rude." Colt huffs knowing he can never win with the Brooks family.
"I'm teaching her not to have people take advantage of her. It is not my fault that is seems rude when she stands up to you."
As they are talking, Roman and Lily enter the pool.
"Hey guys, everyone having fun?" Lily says with Roman's arms around her waist coming from behind.
"Yeah, we are having... Lily what is wrong?"
"What do you mean AJ?" Lily nervous by rubbing Roman's arms
"You look like you were crying. Roman, what's wrong with Lily?'
"What! Roman, did you hurt my baby sister?" Punk immediately gets out of the pool to run and comfort his baby sister
"No Punk. It is okay Roman is comforting me already. He did nothing wrong, I'm okay."
Punk just looks at them to see if they are lying. After a few seconds, he sees that she is telling the truth. "Okay, but you can tell me if he hurts you even if it is a little bit. You can also tell anything to tell AJ, do you that?" Punk says still consider for her.
"Of course I do. Please, don't worry too much about it." Smiles
"Okay." Punk takes one more look at them before walking back to the pool.
"See overprotective. Every man wants his girl to be protected when he is not around." Roman bends down to whisper it to Lily's ear
"Thanks, but I feel bad that I'm kind of lying to him, to everyone."
"Well, you could tell him now." Roman is having one chance to persuade her to tell them the truth.
"No way, tomorrow I will tell them. You can't change my mind, but nice try baby." Lily crosses her arms to stand her ground.
"Okay, but you do look cut when you are angry." Chuckles
"Thanks, I try to be cute just for you." Lily flips her hair
"So who was on the phone Lily?" AJ asks with Punk behind her in the pool
"Oh, it is the father of April's friend, Randy is his name."
"The father is name Randy as well as his son?"
The guys snickering thinking it is very unique name to give to their son.
"Hey, it is an honour to have your son named after his father." Kaitlyn says
"Oh it could be just laziness." John says
"Well, I guess calling our baby after John is out of the question. Maybe I should name our baby after my ex-boyfriend Justin." Nikki ponders "Right I should, what do you think ladies?"
"Oh definitely, we should all name our baby boys after our ex-boyfriends' name." Lita says
"I totally agree with that, because Phil Brooks is too plain." AJ says before she giggles
"I think Phil Brooks Jr. is a strong name and will protect his family no matter what." Punk says standing up for his name, even though only a few people call him his legal name.
"Nah, I agree with AJ about not naming your baby boy after him, but ours I accept." John says coming around to have their baby boy named after him.
"Whatever John, Nikki I hope you want your baby to wear rainbow like colours because that is what John always wears."
"Joking aside, naming your son after his father is quite an honour. The father must have done something deserving to have his name around again. I would like to have a son who is just like Punk."
"I don't think we can handle that nor do we want one." Colt says while making a face
"Well too bad so sad it is going to happen."
"That's right." Punk says holding on to AJ
"So what did he want?" AJ asks getting back to the topic in hand
"He just wanted to talk to April about why he wasn't at school today. Their conversation was so cute."
"Mom!" April blushes.
"Sorry, no more. My lips are zipped and locked." Lily acts the actions.
"So, you just call him Randy, not Jr?" Punk asks April
"Yup, but his father calls him Lil' Randy so there is no confuse at home." April smiles
"So what is his last name also, do you like him?" John asks very intrigue at the boy in question.
"John boy, you can't just ask that type of question like that."
"Thank you Uncle Punk."
"Seriously, do you like him?"
"Punk stop, you're embarrassing her." AJ hits him lightly on the arm.
"Sorry." Punk looks down like a child that just got in trouble by his parents.
"Okay fine, but no teasing me, any of you. You have to promise me that."
"We promise." Everyone says with their right hand over their hearts.
"Yes I do have a bit of a crush. He is just a great person to hang out with also we have a lot in common." April smiles big at her friendship with Randy.
"Okay, what is his last name?"
"It is Orton. His full name is Randy Orton Jr."
Everyone is in shocked and speechless.
"Sorry sweetie, can you repeat that?" Nikki says not want to realize that Randy is again back into their lives.
"His name is Randy Orton Jr."
