When Dean left, CJ didn't know what to do. They didn't take that second bath like he had requested, and there wasn't any senseless fucking before he left. After eating brunch, he had opted for holding onto her and his hand stayed on her stomach the whole time. She hated to admit it, but she was getting a small bump and once Dean noticed it he was absolutely enamored by it.

But now she was without his gentle touch and silence that spoke volumes and she hated it. Even though he had promised to call when he landed, she still missed him like crazy. He made her forget about Seth, and now that he was gone her unfaithful boyfriend had slithered into her thought process.

She was just so mad, and hurt, and felt so betrayed by his actions, that she didn't know what to do. She knew that they had to talk about it, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to him about it sooner or later. Talking to him sooner would probably mean crying and she really wasn't in the mood for crying in front of Seth when she should be making him pay for his wrongdoings by means of pampering and attention.

It was at this moment in time that CJ regretted not bringing her laptop with her, because she really wanted to google how to deal with a cheating boyfriend. She was certain the Cosmopolitan would have a great article on it and she needed some kind of guidance on what do with this subject. The question now was: did she go home and risk facing Seth unprepared just for her laptop? Was her hatred for reading stuff on her phone worth it?

No, it's not worth it. I'll tough this out. CJ thought to herself, grabbing her phone from beside her to do her internet searching. But first she decided to take partake in Throwback Thursday on Instagram. She searched through her phone for any pictures taken around the time she won her title and found the selfie she took on JBL's phone that he sent to her.

'#TBT to when I won my first Diva's Championship. I really miss Starla(yes I named my belt).'

Her all time favorite comment was the fifth one to get posted.

'First you and now Tamina. We need the REAL divas to get healthy and run the division once again.'

"I did run the division, didn't I?" CJ asked herself, taking a selfie with her hair all mussed up and a small pout and posting it.

'Slept all day and still tired. This is my own way of getting back at wwerollins for being a jerk. #stilllovehimthough'

She smiled as she watched fans battle it out in the comments, but frowned when a text from Seth popped onto her screen. She opened it anyways, knowing that she couldn't very well ignore him after she got pissed at him for ignoring him.

'Teasing instagram because you're mad at me?'

'It seems to be the way to go'

'Come home babe. I really need to apologize and the only right way to do it is by begging on my knees'

'I know you probably don't want to be near me just yet but please come home. I'll sleep on the couch and stay out of your way. Just come home so I know you're okay'

'Bring Dean if you want. Just please come home'

The next text to come was a picture of the dogs laying together.

'Babies miss their mommy CJ.'

'I'll think about it Seth. Just give me space please.' Her response was pleading enough. She just hoped he did as she requested.

'Alright. I'm sorry for pestering.'

'Its fine' CJ assured before putting her phone in silent and tossing it to the side. Of course, she missed Seth's last ditch effort of an 'I love you' text with her phone on silent.

The lack of a reply disheartened Seth, but that wasn't going to stop him from carrying out his plan. So Seth got up, got dressed, and went to the store. He needed to buy groceries, and flowers, and utilize the bonus he got from Hunter on every single thing he bought for CJ. He said he was going thing for her, so he was going to prove his words to her.

"Lola, baby. Store?" Seth asked, looking down at the dog who really couldn't be bothered with whatever shenanigans Seth was about to get into. The only response he got was the dog turning her back on him and trotting over to her bed while Kevin's excited scampering could be heard faintly from the backyard. The sound of long nails clicking against the hardwood alerted Seth not only to Kevin running full force as to not miss the trip to the store, but that his little boy was due for a trip to the groomers. He made a mental note to take care of that later, but checked Kevin's paws as soon as the Yorkie settled in his lap. "We'll go see Carrie this weekend and get you and Lola taken care of. But first, to the store."

The drive was as exciting as driving around with Kevin could get. In Seth's opinion, one of the greatest feelings in the world was having one of his dogs in his lap with the window down while they were driving. The only thing that could make it better was having a great human companion, preferably his girlfriend, as well as his dogs. But he had to work on that. He had to get her back.

Since he wasn't able to find a shady parking spot, Seth brought Kevin into the store with him. If anybody had any problems, he'd gladly play the concerned pet owner and drop his name if he had to because there was no way he'd let Kevin sit in a hot car. He loved Kevin too much to let that happen for any duration of time and found it sickening when other pet owners did it and didn't even bother to roll the windows down.

"Mommy, look at his puppy." Some little girl standing near him in the seafood/deli department observed as she pointed up at Kevin, who was bundled in a blanket so that he wouldn't fall into the spaces between metal in the cart.

"Abbey, honey, it's not polite to point." Her mother scolded, making Seth smile at the woman.

"She's fine." Seth assured, smiling down at the girl who timidly approached him while her mother ordered whatever it was.

"I've seen you on TV." Abbey whispered and Seth's eyes widened. "I still think you're a good guy, Seth. Mommy says that sometimes people can lose their way, but it doesn't make them bad. You have a cute puppy, so you have to be good."

"Not all people with cute puppies are good people." Seth stated, kneeling down to be at eye level with the small girl. Her eyes were so blue, they reminded him of CJ's. The only difference was that this little girl's eyes were so trust and full of wonder, while CJ's showed just how much trust she had in others and how wonderful she truly saw things around her. "Would you like to pet Kevin?"

"Yes please."

"Ask your mom, first." Watching the long brown hair that was similar to his own hair color bounce as Abbey skipped over to her mother made Seth want a little girl. A boy would be cool, too, but there was something about the idea of having tea parties with his little Princess that he really liked. He just really wanted to be a dad.

"She said I could."

"Alright." Seth mumbled, standing up so he could pluck Kevin from the blanket before kneeling down again. "His name is Kevin. He's a sweetheart." Seth added, seeing Abbey hesitate slightly before finally touching Kevin's head and gently petting him. In response, the Yorkie licked her wrist and Seth smiled before putting Kevin back in the cart.

"Abbey, let's go." Her mother called, already walking away and Abbey quickly hugged Seth before running off. He was a bit stunned, not expecting any fan to want to hug him after what happened on Monday, but he wasn't complaining. He had shrimp to order.

Once he was done in the store, he remembered CJ's current love of chocolate ice cream cake and stopped by an ice cream store that was bound to sell cakes. Since he found a shady spot and wouldn't be long, Seth opened the windows a bit before getting out of the car and locking the doors behind him as he headed into the store. He went straight to the little freeze and pulled out a small cake before he went up to the front counter.

"Can you write on this?"

"Yeah." The cashier said slowly, eyes eyes widening when he realized just who Seth was. "What do you want on it?"

"'Sorry that I was a dick'. If it'll fit. If not, just 'sorry' will be fine."

"CJ pissed off at you for turning on-"

"Yes." Seth cut him off, not wanting to hear the names of his former comrades or the group he left. "Really pissed."

"Just wait here for a moment, I'll be back."

"Alright." He mumbled, pulling his phone out if his pocket to check his twitter feeds and he was surprised to see a text from CJ.

'I didn't mean to ignore your text. My phone was on silent and I fell asleep. I love you too and be safe while you're on the road. We'll talk about this soon.'

'For sure.'

Sooner than she expected, that was for sure. He only hoped that she didn't deny him the chance to talk earlier than expected.

CJ was surprised to see that Seth's car was gone when she pulled up to the house, but it was something she welcomed. She wasn't ready to talk to him right now, but she would if she had to. She just needed her laptop and her therapy homework, and then she would be gone.

She slipped into the house quietly, smiling when Lola lazily trotted over to her and she couldn't help but pick her up.

"I've missed you, Lola. You precious creature. Daddy took Kevin, didn't he?" The only response she got was a luck to the cheek and she smiled as she set the dog down. "Go lay down, I'll be out of here soon."

Her eyes landed on her notebook laying open on the counter and sighed, banging her fist on the counter. She really wasn't ready to talk to Seth about therapy, Dean going with her was only because he had already seen her at her most vulnerable. Seth officially knew how she felt the last couple days, and she felt like she was going to puke.

'Thursday, June 5th' CJ quickly scribbled, looking to the stove for the time.

'6:45pm

Seth knows. He fucking knows. I'm going to be sick. I feel nauseous and exposed and I don't like it.'

She slammed the notebook closed and clicked the pen as well before falling to her knees and beginning to heave. She was quick to pull the small garbage can from beneath the sink before expelling her stomach contents into the small plastic bin. Vomiting wasn't part of the plan but she needed to get the hell out of there before Seth came home and saw her visibly in distress.

It took a couple minutes, but eventually CJ was on her feet and tying up the garbage bag. She left it by the counter for her to toss on her way out the door before she headed up the stairs to grab her laptop and it's charger. The sight of the bed all disheveled made her smile and set her laptop bag on the dresser so she could make the bed, and she couldn't fight the urge to lay down for just a moment. The pillows smelled like Seth, lavender with a hint of vanilla, and she just wanted it to swallow her whole. Dean smelled amazing, too, but Seth's scent was what she wanted right now.

She rolled out of bed and straightened out the duvet, almost tripping over the dress shirt left on the floor. She knew that she shouldn't have, but she picked it up and held it to her nose anyways and was reminded of why she was pissed off when she smelled the cheap perfume on the shirt and her nose scrunched in distaste. She dropped the garment onto the ground, grabbing her bag and exiting the room.

The sound of the front door opening made her curse under her breath as she slowly continued down the stairs, stopping in the kitchen to grab her notebook, pen, and the garbage bag before making her way to the front door. Kevin yipped happily at her and CJ smiled, bending over to scratch behind his ears for a moment and heading out the door. She didn't expect to see Seth juggling a few bags and what looked like a cake, but she exercised her humanity and dropped the garbage bag so she could take the cake off his hands.

"You came home?" Seth asked, hopeful glint in his tired eyes.

"I needed to grab a couple things. What's all this for?"

"I was just stocking the house for you before I left tomorrow morning." Seth explained, following her into the house. "What's that bag?"

"The garbage from under the kitchen sink." She explained, leaving the part about throwing up to herself as she followed Seth into the kitchen. "I'm gonna-"

"Stay?"

"Seth..."

"You don't have to talk to me, you don't even have to acknowledge that I'm here, I won't say anything until you're ready to talk to me. I just want to know that you're home and you're safe, please just stay."

Goddamnit, Rollins. You're such an asshole yet you're still kind of caring. What do I do? CJ thought to herself, avoiding eye contact with him. Being honest with herself, she didn't want to be alone anymore. But at the same time, she was really mad at Seth for violating her trust and invading her privacy. She hated that she was in this position.

Getting this chapter up before I watch Legend's House. I've always been looking forward to Mondays and Friday's for wrestling, but even more so with all the Shield stuff going on.
