Chapter 5
xXx
Karlee was in the middle of watching The Shield's match when there was a knock at the door. She shouted at them to come in and she was excited to see Alice and Eva walk through the door, more happier to see one more than the other. Alice said hey and sat on the red leather seat across from Karlee whilst Eva stayed standing.
"So have you girls enjoyed yourselves so far?" Karlee asked trying to induce some sort of conversation.
"Yeah! We went with The Bella's for a while and they were talking to us about Media and everything." Alice was extremely chirpy but Eva stood with a grimace on her face that could curdle milk.
"Ah, those girls are really nice. So we going to watch this and then go for a walk around?" Alice nodded eagerly but Eva shrugged her shoulders. Karlee turned her attention back to the TV as Roman, Seth and Dean went up against Darren Young, Titus and Sin Cara. Roman hadn't been tagged in yet and the fire was showing clearly through his eyes. He didn't move from his place on the turnbuckle and he kept ringing his hands together in anger. Alice watched the match with close precision, making small hand movements as if she was going over the moves herself. He was finally tagged in and instead of circling his opponent and locking up, he went straight for a spear, nailing Darren in the chest and pinning him for the three count.
"Uh... I don't think he was meant to do that." Karlee murmered loud enough for Alice and Eva to hear.
"Why, Is everything okay?" Alice asked, genuinely concerned about what was happening. Karlee shook her head as the boys headed for the back and the screen faded to adverts. The door opened and in popped a rather happy Layla.
"Oh my, did you see him? I'm so proud." Karlee turned her head so slowly. Her face said it all. Get. Out. Layla introduced herself to both the rookies who were a little drawn aback by the hostility in the room.
"Good to see you back babe!" Layla walked forward and gathered Karlee up in a hug, squeezing her tight. Karlee never responded and instead mouthed to Alice to make sure the boys didn't come into the room. Layla stood back and looked at Karlee.
"What the hell is going on K?" Karlee stood up and stood face to face with Layla.
"I suggest you ask Roman." Alice ushered Eva out of the room to give the girls some privacy just as the members of The Shield rounded the corner. Dean was the first to notice that something wasn't quite right but Alice stopped him and whispered to him what was going on. Dean then told Seth and they held Roman back.
"What would I need to ask him?" Layla was panicking and Karlee was revelling in it. One thing she couldnt stand was liars and cheaters.
"I don't know about Kaitlyn or about any of the girls, but me and you no longer have a friendship. I suggest you go and talk to Roman because you have hell of a lot of explaining to do. Layla felt like she had the wind knocked out of her. A banging on the door confirmed her worst fears and that was that her boyfriend, or now ex was outside and he was beyond angry.
"Let him in!" Karlee yelled and seconds later her barged in, his chest heaving and his lip curled as he looked at Layla in disgust.
"Will someone please tell me whats going on!" Layla began to cry and throwing her arms up in the air in an aid to make her look innocent. Roman scoffed.
"I want your things out of my room within an hour. I'll have my things out of the house by the end of the week and I never want to see you again." Layla stared at him in complete and utter disbelief.
"Baby... I have no idea what you are talking about." She clung to him and he tried not to look at her but any reasonable person could see he was hurting. They had been together for the best part of three years.
"I saw a picture of you with Wade. I can't believe you could not only cheat on me but actually try to keep such a secret in this place." Layla slowly took her arms away as she realized her secret was out and she saw everyone looking at her with the same look on her face.
"Who? Who took the fucking picture?" Layla was seething and she was was looking for someone's blood to spill. Everyone looked each other anxiously and you could tell everyone was going to keep it a secret.
"It was me. I took the picture and showed it to him." Karlee spoke up. Dean facepalmed as Layla turned around, her teeth bared and her fists balled. Dean was on high alert as Layla stared at her, Karlee keeping an equally menacing look on her face.
"What the fuck? Why have you turned into a total bitch after getting stabbed? He hit you on the head as well or something." Karlee was a little shocked at her choice of words.
"You're just upset you were caught out. Don't start bitching with me. If I were you I'd get down on your knees and beg." Layla smirked.
"Oh, your an expert at getting on your knees aren't you darling Karlee?" Karlee smirked.
"Obviously I'm not as good as you. You can do it twice as much." Layla saw red at her comment and launched herself at Karlee, the first punch landing at her stomach, throwing her out of it and leaving her breathless. Before she was hauled off, Karlee landed a punch to her jaw before she was thrown out. The room cleared to deal with Karlee as Dean leapt forward and lifted Karlee up, settling her on her back in a lying position so he could see if she was hurt or not.
"I'm fine!" He snapped unexpectedly. She quickly softened and placed a kiss on Dean's cheek. She sat up whilst holding her side and went to look in the mirror. She pulled her vest up to reveal her wound which hadn't opened up at all in the mini brawl and still looked as it had earlier.
Alice came back in to make sure Karlee was ok and then left, saying she would see her the next day. The couple were then joined by Seth, Roman and Kaitlyn who by the looks of it had finsihed what Karlee started.
"Bitch straight out jumped me and threw a projector at my back!" She held a ice pack to her face and lip whilst Seth held one to her back. They all watched the Real Americans and Wade fight their match an then get interrupted by the previously shot Shield Promo. Something of which made Wade gulp a little nervously.
"I want my first match after Sofia to be against her." Karlee wasn't happy but yet neither was Steph who came in moments later.
"Right here is how It's going down. Layla has been suspended for the injuries she inflicted upon the both of you but only for 10 days. Plus, I need a return date from you Karlee as we need to book the match card." Karlee nodded.
"I'll be ready for that PPV. How long do I have?" Steph looked dismal.
"Just under two months. And from what I've heard from the doctor, you aren't even medically cleared to start trainging for another month. Are you absolutely sure about this?" Karlee nodded but a little voice at the back of her head said this was something she wasn't ready for. A main event match on the newest PPV? Not to mention the steel cage they were going to be in. Steph wrote some things down and gathered up her papers.
"Thanks guys. Good luck on recovery Karlee, Dean please look after her." Dean winked, cementing his promise.
"Roman, Where are you going to live until you get a house?" Seth asked rather discreetly. Now the fight for Roman began.
"You can have one of our rooms if you want?" Dean asked before he had a chance to respond. He chuckled under his breath.
"Actually, I have a house in mind and I could go and buy it tomorrow if I wanted. I had my eye on this gorgeous size bedroomed house in Florida but it was meant to be for me and Layla to move into." He looked hurt. Anyone would but it was hard seeing this usually non-emotional man break down in front of their eyes.
"Right guys and gals. I'm tired so I'm heading back. See you tomorrow for breakfast?" Karlee stood up and readied herself to depart. Everyone nodded and stood up to give her hugs and kisses. Roman went last.
"Thanks. You opened my eyes to her. And for that I'm truly thankful." He gave her a quick squeeze and kissed her cheek. Dean grabbed her bags and slowly lead her outside. But not before they ran into Punk.
"Aw hey Karls. I hoped I would run into you tonight!" He gave her a hug and Dean one of those man hug things that always perplexed Karlee.
"How did you know I was back? I suppose Amy told you, I did see her earlier." Punk nodded but looked uneasy.
"No... AJ told me." Karlee nodded and studied the expression on Punks face.
"Oh. My God." She had figured it out.
"It just happened! But me and Amy have stayed friends and even her and AJ get on which is really weird..." Karlee rolled her eyes. She had known Punk since ECW and he had never been one to hold a steady girlfriend but Amy had seemed to settle him down and it did actually look like they were going to settle down together.
"I think she's special. There's something about her, you know? She makes me feel comfortable. And I actually sleep at night now... well sometimes anyway." Karlee made a fake sick noise just as the woman in question rolled up to him. She was so different. Her hair was hidden from view as she pulled the 'CM Punk' hoodie over her tiny frame. She wore glasses and hardly any make-up.
"I just told Karlee about us." AJ smiled timidly as she awaited her reaction.
"Don't take any of his shit. He can be worse than a hormonal teenage girl sometimes." AJ laughed and Punk reddened.
"Oh, I'm sure I can keep him in line." Karlee watched the two of them exchange looks. It was the same way her and Dean looked at each other. She slipped an arm around his torso and bid goodye to the couple in front of them.
"Mr Ambrose, Do I ever tell you how much I love you?" He grinned.
"Yes you do. Always. And I love you just as much Mrs Ambrose." And with that he bent down and kissed her on the lips.
