Chapter Thirteen – The Return of the Boss
Stephanie McMahon was on her way to the Sandbox when Bayley called her and she was frantic.
"Bayley calm down, it was Hunter. I got an invitation to the Sandbox, he must be calling some kind of meeting and that's why he asked Beth Hardy to Transcend Seth to the Sandbox. Once I find out what's going on I'll call you and tell you what happened," Stephanie said.
Bayley clutched Seth's empty shirt and held it to herself, "I was so close Steph, I had my hands on his chest and I was kissing him. He felt it, I know he did, his resistance is weakening. I just need Sasha to stay out of the country for a little bit longer, then I'll finally get what I want. Your daughter has ruined everything!"
"She was just doing what Hunter wanted her to do. Don't worry about Seth, after tonight, I won't let him out of my sight. He'll be back in your loving arms by tomorrow. Why don't you go try on all those new clothes you bought and get yourself ready for when he comes back to L A?" Stephanie said as Bayley clutched Seth's black shirt.
"He was in my arms, I had him right where he belongs. Don't let your daughter screw this up for me Steph, or else there will be consequences," Bayley said and she hung up on Stephanie who shuddered at the tone of Bayley's voice. There was something so unsettling about it and Jeff Hardy noticed a look of concern on his wife's face.
"Are you okay?" Jeff asked her holding her hand.
"No, I'm just not sure if I want Beth to be using her Gift of Transcendence without our permission anymore. She Transcended Seth to the Sandbox while he was with Bayley and now she's super-pissed," Stephanie explained and Jeff shrugged.
"It's her Gift, she can use it how she wants," Jeff replied.
"I don't want Bayley to get upset," Stephanie said and Jeff laughed.
"Are you scared of Bayley? The girl who used to hug you everyday when you used to go down to NXT?" Jeff Hardy said.
"Bayley has changed a lot since then Jeff. Something happened to her that night in New York City. I truly believe that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants and I don't want our daughter getting caught in the crossfire, her heart is too pure to take on one with a heart so black," Stephanie said.
"Which is why she has the Gift of Transcendence. God gave it to her so she could use it to escape whenever she got in trouble," Jeff reminded Steph, "Bayley cannot hurt our daughter. The only person Bayley can hurt is herself,"
Stephanie leaned on Jeff's shoulder with thoughts of her daughter cascading through her mind along with ways to control Bayley before any serious damage was done.
The Sandbox
Alexa Bliss entered though Hunter's bedroom window and lay a now sleeping Sasha Banks on his bed. She took off her Invisibility Cloak and spread it over Sasha so she remained Invisible.
"I want to make sure Seth is the only one who can see you," Alexa said and she closed Hunter's bedroom door and headed downstairs to find Seth and bring him to her.
"Alexa?!" Seth cried as she signalled to him from the alcove and everyone looked and saw Alexa standing by the stairs.
"Sssh!" she said putting her fingers to her lips and she motioned for Seth to come over to her.
"What are you doing here? You guys are supposed to be looking after my wife while I'm dealing with Bayley?!" Seth said as Alexa led him up the stairs.
"Love the shirt," Alexa said noticing the charcoal grey shirt Seth was wearing.
"Bianca picked it out for me, it's one of Hunter's I think," Seth said.
"The E S T has the greatEST taste," Alexa said and he opened Hunter's bedroom door and closed it behind her and Seth.
Seth gave Alexa a questioning look, "Why did you bring me up here?" he said raising his eyebrow. "I know Hunter and Joanie's bedroom makes people fall in love but Alexa, try to remember, I'm already in love with someone,"
Alexa smiled at Seth, "I know you are," she said and she took the Invisibility Cloak off of Sasha causing the Boss to appear before Seth's eyes, "I present to you the one you are in love with,"
Seth covered his mouth in shock when he saw Sasha on the bed and he leaned over to make sure she was okay.
"Baby you're back!" Seth said pressing his lips against Sasha's sleeping face. He suddenly pulled away and backed up to the door.
"Is there something wrong?" Alexa asked him.
"Why is she wearing those clothes?" Seth asked Alexa. "Those aren't her clothes, those are Bayley's clothes,"
"Yeah I know, we didn't really have anything to wear in Saudi that was comfortable, so we took the clothes out of Bayley's suitcase and put them on," Alexa said and Seth felt like vomiting.
"Can you please take those clothes off my wife?" Seth said, he was visibly upset at the sight of anything remotely linked to Bayley being on the pregnant body of his beloved wife.
"Sure thing Seth," Alexa said. "Can you ask Beth to Transcend some of Sasha's clothes to Hunter's bedroom?"
Seth nodded, "I'll ask her to Transcend some of your clothes too. I don't want anything of Bayley's near either of you or any of the people I love," he said.
"No problem Seth. You're the only one who knows Sasha's here, please don't tell anyone she's back until we can guarantee her safety," Alexa said and Seth left to get Beth Hardy while Alexa quickly removed Bayley's clothes from Sasha's sleeping body.
Downstairs Seth couldn't keep the smile off of his face, it was a smile that everyone noticed at once.
"The Boss is back," Bianca Belair said to herself as Seth spoke to Beth Hardy and quickly ran back upstairs. Bianca was now smiling knowing what Alexa had done. "I can't wait for someone to tell Bayley that the party is over,"
Back upstairs Bayley's clothes had been discarded and put into a trash bag. Sasha was naked and Alexa was wearing her Invisibility Cloak to hide her nakedness from Seth. When Sasha clothes appeared in Hunter's room, Alexa picked out a few choice pieces that she thought Seth would like and laid them on the bed.
The sight of his wife's clothes filled Seth with adoration and suddenly there were one too many people in the room.
"That's fine Alexa, I'll take over from here. Do you mind changing in another room so me and the Boss can be alone?" Seth said.
Alexa giggled knowing where Seth was going and she took herself out of the equation and left the two lovebirds alone. Seth pressed his lips against Sasha's thigh and his wife's eyes opened to see her husband leaning over her, touching her, adoring her.
"Man It's good to be back," Sasha said and Seth kissed her lovingly on the lips.
"What can I say? God gave me a good group," he said and he kissed her deeply drawing himself into her as she ran her fingers underneath his shirt.
"What?" she asked as he stopped kissing her suddenly.
"I should let you know that we're in Hunter and Joanie's bedroom at the Sandbox in Greenwich, Connecticut, so we should probably try to keep it down," Seth said.
"So which voice do I use, my indoor sex voice or my outdoor sex voice?" Sasha asked with a smile stroking Seth's face.
"Whichever one keeps your voice down, no-one knows you're here besides me," Seth said.
"I better use my indoor sex voice then," she said and they kissed passionately while Alexa got dressed in LC's old bedroom.
"Man that is loud!" she said as they made love and she opened Hunter's bedroom door slightly and told them to keep it down without looking.
Back downstairs Alexa called Bianca, Becky and Beth Hardy over to her and told them that the Boss was back in the country.
"They're making love upstairs right now," Alexa said and Becky furrowed her brow.
"Man they are quiet," she said.
"That's because I told them to be. Sasha's return is not to be common knowledge until we can come up with a plan to keep her safe," Alexa Bliss said.
"Oh that is so romantic, it's just like Aladdin when Princess Jasmine pretended to be a common thief so she could hang out with Aladdin!" Bianca Belair said.
"Are you calling Seth a common thief?" Alexa asked her.
"No, I was thinking more of this place as the dump they visited before they went back to the palace. I mean the Sandbox is nice but compared to that Royal Palace in Saudi Arabia, this is a trash hole," Bianca said.
"Can we please focus and not talk about my favourite Disney movie?" Alexa Bliss said. How do we keep Sasha safe while Bayley is in L A working with Seth on the Black Heart Diaries?"
Bianca raised her hand, "I already came up with a plan to keep Seth and Bayley at bay. I suggested that he babysit Faith Star," she said.
"LC and Cameron's little girl?" Alexa said and Bianca nodded.
"If he's looking after Faith Star during the day, Bayley can't do anything to him that would be inappropriate," Bianca said and the four women blushed as Seth and Sasha's love-making got louder.
"Okay I have to shut them up, great plan Bianca let's run with that! Becky you got anything to add?" Alexa said while running up the stairs to Hunter's bedroom.
"Yeah, earplugs," Becky said and she handed earplugs to Bianca and Beth Hardy.
"So that's what sex sounds like," Beth Hardy said and Becky and Bayley gave her a stern look.
"When you're married kid," Becky said and Beth nodded as Alexa Bliss returned to them after encouraging Seth and Sasha to hurry up and finish.
"Did you tell them to keep it down?" Becky asked.
"Sasha threw her shoe at me," Alexa Bliss said holding up one of Sasha's blue pumps.
"Nice shoe Alexa, I didn't know you had such exquisite taste," came the voice of Stephanie McMahon and Alexa gulped and quickly hid the shoe behind her back.
"Thanks boss," Alexa said with a big smile.
"Hey don't be bashful, I'm sure they cost you a fortune but they are worth it. Where's the other one?" Stephanie said coming over to them and Beth Hardy quickly Transcended the shoe back into Hunter's bedroom.
"They really do work better as a pair, wouldn't want them to be out here where something bad could happen to them. Thanks Beth!" Alexa said.
"Should we go back to the family room?" Bianca Belair said moving everyone off of the staircase and away from the sound of love making that Alexa once again had to control.
"Ow!"
"What was that?" Stephanie said as Sasha threw her other shoe at Alexa's head.
"Alexa probably fell over after walking in those shoes, she must have lost her balance. I'll go check on her real quick!" Becky Lynch said and she went to get Alexa while Bianca and Beth walked Stephanie to the DX family room.
Becky found Alexa sitting by Hunter's bedroom door rubbing her now sore head, "Boss threw her other shoe at me. I'm just trying to keep her return a secret, I don't mean to encroach on their sex life," she said apologetically.
The Man was far less sympathetic.
"Let them have sex on their own time," she said and she filled a bucket with ice water and flung it on Sasha and Seth while Alexa covered their mouths so they didn't scream while shivering from the cold.
"What the Hell Bex?!" Sasha said trembling to the smiling Irish woman with the bucket.
"Welcome back Boss but we gotta get Seth outta here before the rest of the people in this house get suspicious. I know you're glad to see each other but don't get too comfortable with each other just yet. Tings are not back to normal and we've got to play it safe," Becky said and she slapped Seth on the butt. "Get dressed, we'll be downstairs waiting for you and if I hear the sound of anymore love-making I'm coming back up here with this bucket filled to the brim with more of that lovely ice water. Do I make myself clear?"
Sasha and Seth nodded and Becky got up off the bed and left taking Alexa with her.
"That's the second time she's interrupted our love-making. Becky is such a hard-ass," Seth said and Sasha caressed his hair lovingly as he dried himself off with a clean towel.
"I like a nice hard a," Sasha said and Seth blushed as she reached down to touch his butt.
"We'll make love when it's safe okay baby? Until then, keep those pretty hands to yourself," Seth said moving her hands away.
"What is taking him so long?" Becky Lynch said tapping her foot waiting for Seth to come out of Hunter's bedroom fully dressed, "Oh that does it!" she cried as the sound of love-making returned and she re-entered Hunter's room and hit Seth over the head with the empty bucket.
"Ow!" Seth yelped as Becky pulled him out of Hunter's room shirtless with a pounding head.
"You forgot this," Becky said handing him his shirt which he snatched from her annoyed.
"Thank you Becky," he said sarcastically and she wiped the Boss's glossy lipstick off of his face.
"You're welcome Seth, finally I found a way to help you that I actually enjoy," Becky said and she twirled the bucket around and whistled while escorting a happy yet unsatisfied Seth Rollins back down to the DX family room.
"What was all that noise?" Hunter asked as they sat back down with everyone.
"We were just fooling around," Seth said. "Kind of like old times,"
"Yeah," Becky said and she hit Seth with the bucket again.
"Ow!" Seth cried out and everyone laughed at him. "I don't remember you hitting me as much,"
"Well of course you don't, I probably gave you a concussion," Becky said and she went to hit him again when Bianca took away the bucket to protect Seth.
"Thanks Bianca," Seth said with a smile.
"Buzz kill," Becky Lynch said to Bianca, "now what am I supposed to do with my free hand?"
"Pick up a fork and eat, we've been waiting for you guys to get back here so we can all eat together," Shawn said.
"Where's Sasha?" Hunter asked. "Is she still out of the country?"
Seth smiled to himself, "Actually Hunter I feel like she's right here with us now," he said and Becky, Alexa and Bianca smiled at him knowing what he meant.
"Your love makes me sick," Hunter said. "I've never seen you so happy and if you can be this happy when she's not even with you, I guess you really did marry the right person after all,"
"Is that your attempt at an apology for all the mean things you said about us?" Seth asked Hunter.
"Hey I could say a lot more about you too but I'll wait until she gets back then I'll let you both have it," Hunter said and Seth chuckled at Hunter's veiled compliment to him and the woman he loved so, so very much.
