Rating: Sticking with mature or R, watch out for some mild language in this chapter.
Notes: Thanks to the reviews thus far and yes I guess I can include a Trish/Cena pairing! LOL. Other known pairings thus far include Edge/Lita/Batista, I guess Trish/John, and Taker/Sara. Others I guess will come as they pop into my head or you can request and I'll see what my Muse says. This is an AU piece.
Out of Control
Chapter One
Lita awoke to the baby's cry. She lay in bed for several minutes listening to see if her sister, Alexis or Lexie, was going to answer the child's cries. She never heard any.
I'm going to have to kill her. She probably didn't even come home last night since dear 'ole sis is here to take care of her kids for her. She thought to herself as she got out of bed and put on her robe to go see about the baby, her nine month old young niece Olivia.
Lita walked into the room and saw the baby sitting up crying. As Lita got closer, the baby instinctively put her arms up for Lita to pick her up. "Shhh, sweetheart. It's okay, Li's here."
She took the baby over to the rocking chair by the window and sat down putting the baby to her chest to try and sooth her back to sleep.
"What's the matter, Livvie? Did you have a bad dream?" She asked the baby as she rocked eventually after about twenty minutes the child calmed down enough to fall back asleep. The baby sometimes awoke in the middle of the night just wanting to be held; usually her sister was there to take care of the child. But lately that was not so; she had begun to go out late at night especially when she knew either Lita would be home from work or one of their friends was watching her daughter. Well she was just going to have a talk with her sister when she saw her again and tell her to take responsibility or she, Lita, would. She started back down the hallway towards the master bedroom to go back to bed, but was stopped by a knock at the door.
Dear Lord, does it never end? She thought as she walked down the stairs towards her front door. "Coming," She said in a loud whisper. The knocking grew more persistent. She walked quicker.
"Okay, I don't know who you are but this better be important, cause I have important things to do like sleep," she said as she opened the door.
"Well good morning. Why are you here?" She said as she let the visitor in.
"I
came by to see how you were."
"Okay, but why couldn't it
wait until oh I don't know, daylight?"
"Because, I couldn't wait that long to do this." The stranger walked over to the smaller form of Lita and proceeded to lower his face towards hers connecting there lips. Lita found she couldn't argue with that logic. The stranger pulled back with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I guess I can't argue with that," stating what she had thought a few moments earlier out loud.
"Did ya just get off of work?" she continued.
"Yeah. It was a slow night. Steve and Drew were there, along with the kid Brock and a new guy. So I figured they could handle it for a night. And I thought about going home, but somehow my car ended up here."
"Well, I guess I can let you stay for a little while. Did you see my wayward sister by chance?"
"Nope, why she not here?"
"No
and when I see her I am gonna kick her ass. She needs to get her act
together, before her daughter starts calling me mama."
"I
know, baby, I'm sorry she puts all this on you." The man walked
over to Lita and took her into his arms for a hug. "Want me to
stay the night? I can make breakfast for you and I might even get up
with the baby if she wakes up so you don't have to."
"Hmm. I guess I could be persuaded to let you stay."
He smiled at the dare she implied with her words. Then proceeded to lean down and kiss his way to her mouth then down her neck towards his favorite places. After a few minutes he felt he had her convinced as he leaned back and looked into her desire hazed eyes.
"Okay, you can stay, but you're paying for it."
He licked his lips. "I think I'm going to enjoy paying this debt."
"Oh I think you will Dave, oh I think you will."
She smiled wickedly as she led her boyfriend up the stairs to her bedroom.
The next morning or actually a few hours later, Lita awoke to the smell of bacon, eggs, and coffee. She smiled, that man was amazing. Hmm, she wondered, the only thing that would be better is if Lex made it home. I hope so. I am gonna give her a piece of my mind. She and Dave had certainly made use of the few hours they'd had before falling asleep around dawn. Damn the man was hot, and she adored him. They had been quasi-friends for a while, but then he had asked her out and she found she couldn't say no. That had been over six months ago, making this her longest relationship since she'd broken up with Matt. And this time she was happy, unlike when she dated Matt and he made her feel like a second class citizen for working in a bar and for some of the things in her past. No Dave accepted her for who and what she was. She was happy, but some nights she found herself dreaming of a tall, blonde man named Edge. Sometimes she wondered if her night with him had been a dream, but moving on, she had more important things to do than wonder about a dream.
She moved from the bed and walked into the adjoining bathroom and took a quick shower. Then got dressed and went downstairs following her nose to the kitchen.
As she entered the kitchen the scene before her made her laugh. Her boyfriend was fully dressed in a pair of black leather pants and a tight blue shirt (his attire from the night before), but was also wearing a frilly pink apron that had been given to her as a gag gift from her best friend Trish. Trish knew she couldn't cook to save her life, but still the gift was funny and came in very handy when she was feeding her niece. Her boyfriend had put it on it seemed to cook breakfast and to feed the nine month old Livvie. The baby in question was presently rolling around on the floor in her walker following the man around like an adoring puppy. The scene was so domestic and seemed so right. She could image having a family with this man, whoa where did that thought come from?
"So are you going to stare at me all morning or are you going to eat breakfast?"
His words brought an end to her thoughts and she smiled at the 6'5 man. "Well I mean I was enjoying the show. It isn't every day I get to see a rather large man with tattoos prance around my kitchen in my pink apron playing with my baby niece."
"Yeah, whatever. You're just jealous. Isn't that right Livvie? Auntie Lita is jealous because her man is being romanced by another woman." He said as he smiled down at the baby, who returned his grin.
Both adults laughed. "So have you seen my wayward wondering little sis?"
"I
think I heard her come in an hour ago. She didn't even stop to
check on Liv. I think she is asleep."
"Thanks, I guess I can
talk to her later. So what are you doing today?"
"Well I mean I could spend the day here playing good cop/bad cop or patient and naughty nurse, but I have a date with my other girlfriend and she doesn't like to share me."
"Sure.
Already cheating on me and it's only been six months. Oh well. I
guess Christian will like that, means he can have me all to his
self."
"No, I don't share you. If he puts one hand on you I
will kill him." He said with a scowl on his face.
"Geez,
Dave, clam down. I was just kidding. You know Christian is
completely in love with Dawn."
"I know I just get jealous when
someone else looks at you. It's very hard to restrain myself at
work."
"Whatever. So you wanna hang out with me and the little miss here today? I was thinking of taking her to the park."
"Sure."
They spent the rest of the morning eating and playing with the baby as Lita tried to think of just what to say to her little sister.
