Chapter 25
xXx
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Karleeeee,
Happy Birthday to youuuu!"
Karlee outstretched her arms as Dean finished his crappy but sweet song. All thoughts of the previous day were firmly put to the back of her mind as today was a day she loved.
"Happy Birthday sweetheart." He whispered, kissing her on the cheek as she blushed a deep red.
"Thanks baby... And where did you disappear off to last night?" She chimed as she let her hair down from the braid it was in last night. Her soft velvety red hair swished all around her shoulders, completely mesmerizing Dean.
"I uh... Went to see Cass about something but don't worry. I didn't pan her head in." Karlee let out a chuckle.
"I wonder if she's going to come and see me today?" She asked, sadness clear in her voice at the thought of spending an important date without her unbiological sister. She rolled onto her side and hitched a leg over Dean's as she delicately tapped her fingers on his chest, watching it move gently up and down.
"I'm sure she will but if she is nasty again, I might not be able to handle myself..." Dean muttered, reaching over for his now vibrating phone. He checked it at arms length before sprinting out of bed and whipping the covers off.
"Oh. How nice. I can't even get sex on my birthday now!" Karlee yells, throwing her hands in the air as she thumps her head onto the pillow.
"Will you keep your voice down! All the guys are outside! They wanted to make sure you were up and ready for visitors." Karlee bit her arm to stop herself from laughing like a maniac. Typical. She watched with great delight as Dean struggled to find his shirt.
"You mean this one?" Karlee asked, twirling the blue shirt in her fingers. Dean smirked as he leapt onto her, trying his hardest to get his shirt back from a squealy Karlee. He slowly reached down and ran his hand up the outside of her thigh, making her stop suddenly. She gasped as he bent down to kiss her gently.
"Yoink!" Dean grabbed the shirt out of her hands as she lay there flustered. Karlee sat up fanning her face. Dean curled his lip as he watched his girlfriend lying on the bed.
"Don't worry, I'll finish what I started later."

The day passed relatively quickly after being showered with gifts from Kaitlyn, Layla and the boys. There was a beautiful leather boots and jacket combo from Roman, Seth and Dean: Something that pleased Karlee immensely.
From Layla and Kaitlyn she received a bracelet along with a $500 dollar gift voucher for her favourite boutique in New York. Definate splurge next time they were in NY then. Steph had sent her a gorgeous bouquet of flowers signed by her, Paul and the girls. It was going to be weird not having them around in the arena for a while, especially since Sofia was in charge.
"See if I get any shit from Sofia tonight? I swear I'm just going to kick her head in. I really can't be doing with her crap today." The rest of the group cheered as they all clinked champagne glasses. Karlee was determined she was going to have a great day.
xXx
Mixed Tag Match. Great. The first match on the card for Monday Night Raw had to be her match. At least it had nothing to do with Sofia and he pompus bodyguards. Instead Dean and her were against AJ and Dolph. The four had been sitting going over their match together for the best part of an hour when Karlee's phone began to ring. She absent mindedly picked it up and answered it.
"Hey Karlee! Happy birthday chick! How's your day been?" Asked a chipper Stephanie McMahon. Karlee could make out the squealing voices of the girls on the other end and what was probably Triple H falling face first into the water.
"Its been amazing! Thanks for the flowers Steph! They are absolutely gorgeous." Steph chuckled.
"The girls picked them out after I mentioned it was your birthday. I need to tell you something though and I really don't want to ruin your day." Karlee sighed. Bad news was all she needed right now.
"Go ahead." She prompted, ignoring the concerned glances coming from AJ, Dolph and Dean.
"Well, Your friend Cass was in headquarters earlier and she was given a temporary contract by Sofia." Karlee gasped and the immediately put the phone on speaker. Dean ever so secretly held her hand tightly.
"Although both have been warned you will not compete in anything you don't want too and if they do anything to jeopardise your place in this company, both will be fined and let go immediately." Karlee gulped.
"So why does she need a contract?" The red head asked in reference to her blonde friend.
"Anyone who steps into the ring requires some sort of insurance, all of which is covered by a contract. I've spoken to Sofia and she assures me that you are to be given a celebration and an explanation of what has been happening recently. Whatever that means." Karlee inhaled deeply before letting it all go.
"Ok, That's fine Steph... I'm sure I can handle her and Cass. Thanks for letting me know though." She genuinely appreciated the warning from her boss. It meant so much on a personal level.
"Yeah chick, Its fine. And you have my full permission to kick her ass if she gives you any hassle."
After exchanging goodbyes and giving Karlee one last birthday wish, Steph hung up and returned to her well deserved holiday.
"So... What do you think's going to happen?" AJ asked, moving to sit beside Karlee and putting her hand on her shoulder.
"I have no idea but if she starts with this crap when you two are still in the ring: Get out of there... I don't need her and her little minions causing you two any trouble." Dolph smiled at her, appreciating the gesture.
"Thanks K, We'll go, get ready and see you two in the ring." AJ gave Karlee a hug and Dolph did the same before leaving for their locker rooms. Karlee and Dean sat in silence.
"You okay babe?" He asked. Karlee nodded.
"Yeah... I'll be fine, I mean, What can they do that would spoil this day?" She asked before planting her lips on Dean's.
xXx
Their match went by smoothly without a hitch. Unless you class Dolph ripping off Dean's black jacket, revealing his chest. Or the fact that Dean accidently pulled down the back of Dolph shorts, exposing his ass to the delight of all the females in the auidence, especially AJ.
Karlee was informed that she had to go with Seth and Roman out to the ring after the Sheamus vs Wade match that was currently taking place. Karlee whooped with happiness as she was handed a gorgeous clothing bag and box which obviously held shoes. She rushed to the private dressing room that her and Dean had stolen o they could be alone to 'debate their match tactics'. Dean had returned to the top of the arena with the two other boys so Karlee was alone in getting changed and fixing her hair and make-up.
After fixing her vibrant curls and applying thick black eyeliner and mascara, she stood excitedly with the door locked in her underwear. She slowly took out the item, which she soon realized was a dress. The black fabric slid over her body easily and clung to her body. The material had a wet look to it although it had no leather feel and was incredibly sleek. It wasn't smooth when she ran her hands over it although the fabric was bunched up deliberately, like it was to create a ripple effect. The top wasn't too revealing and the part where it covered her chest was folded so that the part covering her lacy bra was doubled over.
Now the best part. The shoes.
Karlee let out a girly squeal as she tore the red tissue paper to reveal a red box with the words 'Louboutin' printed across the shiny red lid. Karlee slowly raised the lid off the box and gasped when she saw the most perfect shoes ever. They black suede platform heels were simple with their red sole and white insides. The thing that made them so perfect was the single column of silver spikes that ran down the middle of the heel on the back of the shoe. And they were event he perfect fit.
Karlee was about to chuck the plastic, paper and boxes away when a card fell out. She smiled as she read her name in Dean's handwriting. She ripped it open in her haste to read what he had written.
To Karlee, My gorgeous little red haired devil.
I hope you have had a great birthday and I want you to realize that since I havn't given you a present yet you can have a whole week of them. Starting tonight. I hope you like your dress and the shoes. I had to pick them out myself and I'll tell you this for free. It wasn't freaking easy.
Happy Birthday baby... I love you so much.
Dean X
