Chapter One – The B is for Bayley
The Rock's Mansion, Los Angeles, CA
Bayley stood in the People's Alcove in her black leather pants and jacket, wearing a pair of Sasha's black Prada boots.
"Isn't anyone going to offer to take my bag upstairs?" she asked the stunned faces looking at her.
"I'll take it," Beth Hardy said but Becky Lynch pulled her back.
"No, allow me," she said and she picked up Bayley's bag. "We wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable, you have so much to tell us don't you? So why don't I take this and you just sit on the couch and make yourself feel at home?"
Bayley gave Becky a sarcastic smile, "Finally, you're making yourself useful," she said pulling off her jacket and handing it to Alexa Bliss, "Hang that up for me will you?" she said to the Blissful One who recoiled at the sight of Bayley's jacket.
Bayley threw herself down on the creamy couch and sighed, "Ah, that's better. Roman, would you mind giving me a foot massage? I know how much you love to rub pretty little feet,"
Roman looked at Seth who was trying to control his temper. Bianca saw their respective anger and diffused the situation immediately. "Seth, hold it down. We need to take control of this situation, please don't lose it. Roman, rub the woman's feet,"
"Hell no!" Roman said in disgust. "I'm not touching that b* feet, she made Sasha disappear, why should I make her feet feel good?"
"Because you're really, really good at making women feel good that's why and we need to soften that b* up so she'll talk," Bianca Belair said.
"But my hands are so clean, please don't make me touch her!" Roman pleaded.
"Just do it Big Dog!" Bianca Belair said and Roman dragged his repulsed body over to the creamy couch where a leather clad Bayley was relaxing.
"Oh that feels so good!" Bayley cried out as Roman Reigns massaged her feet with his head turned the other way. "Imagine how good Sasha must have felt, I don't have to tell you Roman, you know how to turn on the Boss. That's why I had to send her away, to keep her safe from harm,"
"I think I'm going to throw up," Roman said to Seth.
"Keep it up Roman she's talking," Seth said. "So, you were here when Roman was with Sasha?" he asked Bayley.
"It's a good thing I got here when I did Seth. I know our photo shoot wasn't until tomorrow but I came over to spend time with Sasha. When I saw Roman rubbing her feet like they were made of silk, I knew it wouldn't be long until he was all over her. So, I took action. I called Beth Hardy and I told her to Transcend Sasha to the place of her dreams. I didn't want her to hurt you again Seth, I'm the good guy here," Bayley said and Seth balled up his fists.
"So I guess that makes me the bad guy right?" Roman Reigns said as Bayley gripped the couch with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Oh that feels so good!" she cried out. "Yes, you're a bad guy Roman but you give great foot massages!"
"I can't take this anymore," Roman Reigns said and he let go of Bayley's feet and put his head between his knees.
Bianca looked at Seth who was trying with all his might not to throw Bayley out of the People's Mansion.
"She's lying," he said to Bianca. "Roman was not making a move on Sasha,"
"I know, she's just using Roman as an excuse to get Sasha out of L A so she could have you all to herself," Bianca said shaking her head. "Seth I need you to take a deep breath, if you do one thing to piss off Bayley, we might never get you and Sasha back together,"
Seth nodded biting his bottom lip, "I know. I have to make her think she's got the upper hand. I'll play her game for now, while I'm playing dumb, you guys have got to get Sasha back in the country," he said.
"Okay but while we're getting Sasha, there'll be no-one here to protect you," Bianca said and she looked over at Roman who was heaving over the Rock's waste paper basket clearly nauseous from touching Bayley's feet. "Unless you clear the air with Roman and let the Shield protect you while we're gone,"
Seth sighed, he was making baby steps with Roman but trusting him again was a big leap. He was about to tell Bianca just that when Bayley's arm snaked around his waist.
"Seth doesn't need Roman, I got him. I always have and I always will," she said and Roman saw Bayley touching Seth and he pulled himself up from the waste paper basket and slid between them.
"Hey Bayley, how about I rub your feet one more time?" he said saving Seth from further embarassment.
"Oh Roman you're just what the doctor ordered," Bayley said and Roman resumed the unpleasant task of touching Bayley's feet again.
"Thanks Big Dog," Seth said gratefully.
"I popped some anti-nausea pills, I'll be fine," Roman said and he turned to Bianca, Becky and Alexa. "Go get Sasha, we'll take care of Bayley while you're gone,"
"Thanks Roman," Bianca said relieved that Seth wouldn't be completely defenceless against the Black Hearted One, as long as he could keep his resentment of Roman at bay, Bianca had no problem leaving her mentor's side for awhile.
"You guys ready?" Seth said to them and Becky, Bianca and Alexa nodded. "This is your first mission together, may the Lord be with you,"
Seth hugged each of them before Beth Hardy Transcended them to the Royal Palace in Saudi Arabia.
"That photo shoot is going to be Hell for me," Seth said to himself. "but it's going to be Heaven for Bayley,"
Seth picked up his wife's black Prada boots that Bayley had once again borrowed at took them to her bedroom, put them away with the other shoes he had bought for her and collapsed onto the bed where he and his wife slept. He turned his head to the left staring at the bathroom door.
"Why is she always trying to tear us apart?" Seth said thinking he was alone. "Doesn't she know how much we love each other?"
His prayer shawl floated over him and rested on his body, comforting Seth and he slept soundly on his wife's bed while Roman stayed downstairs with Bayley, afraid that if he closed his eyes, Bayley would take off and go upstairs and slide up next to Seth's sleeping body. If what happened to Sasha tonight proved anything, it was that Seth was not ready to have a family of his own and he needed him around just like always. His lil brother needed him and he wasn't going anywhere. The Big Dog was back on duty.
