Chapter 10
xXx
Karlee stretched out on the bed, groaning and turning to her boyfriends. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see him already awake, his eyes wide open as he stared at the ceiling. She don't feel his arm around her waist, her favourite way to wake up every morning and she immediately knew something was wrong.
"Mhmmm. Baby, what's wrong?" She moaned, nipping at the skin on his chin. He shrugged his shoulders and moved swiftly from under her touch. The look on Karlee's face made his stomach flipped. She looked from the spot he had been lying on and followed his path of movement. He had moved so much she began to panic.
"What have I done wrong?" She asked, tears brimming her eyes. Dean quickly sat down again and put his arm around her.
"Nothing. It wasn't you. I just don't think we need to rush into anything plus remember, your still not cleared." Karlee nodded and curled into his chest as she tucked the sheets under her body. She was slightly sore in places today but that was only to be expected since she was a little green from her time off. AJ had messaged her to say well done and how happy she was that they had finally had a match together. She had only had one message from one of her die hard fans that were at the show. They had sworn it was her they had saw but of course Karlee denied it, claiming she was still very much injured. Her phone was quietly buzzing under her pillow and she knew it must be because of the article one of the wrestling websites were running, asking when she was coming back and what she was going to do when she did return. But they as all of her fans were, still under the impression she wouldn't be able to work for another four months.
"So what's your plans for today then?" Dean asked, playing with the strap of her cami vest. She shrugged.
"Oh, me and Kaitlyn are taking Alice to get our nails done. Then we are going for some lunch and probably gym. You?" Dean pondered on telling her what he was really going to do.
"I have a small meeting with Vince about my character then I'll probably just head to the gym with the boys." Karlee sighed and rolled onto her back and this time it was Dean who was slightly taken aback.
"I really don't want to do a speech for Paul tonight, I hate the creepy bastard." Dean laughed and got out of bed.
"You hate him because he fired you, not because he's creepy." He reasoned with her, jerking his head to signal her to get out of bed. He needed a shower."
"Yeah, because non creepy people install security cameras in the woman's shower block." Deans head snapped to face Karlee who had skipped her way past and into their en suite bathroom.
"And why is this only coming to my knowledge know?" He growled.

With their hands stretched out in front of them and a look of disgust on their faces, it was clear these three women didn't like getting a weekly manicure. They were all getting the same, simple French manicures but if the lady who owned the place was getting her own way, they were leaving with flowers and god knows what else kind of designs on them. "So, you have a date for tonight?" Karlee teased. She was waiting for the right time to set up her and Roman up. She knew it was interfering but she felt as though the breakdown in his relationship was her fault, even though Layla had been cheating. "Nope. I was actually just hoping to tag along with you guys if that's okay." Kaitlyn nodded and laughed. "I'm sure you could keep an eye on Rom. He needs a little female attention that isn't ours." Alice smiled. "He's sweet. I like him although he kinda scares me a little. I mean I'm only five-four and he's like... huge!" Karlee erupted into laughter. She wasn't much taller herself and she knew the boys could be quite intimidating. The girls happily chatted about their plans for the day, including going for lunch after getting out of the dreaded salon. "Uh, girls. I might need to skip lunch. Me and Seth have somewhere to be if that's ok." Karlee shrugged it off and said it was fine. They were only another half hour and they were all suited and booted, nails and all. Just as Karlee opened the door for the other two, Alice picked up her phone, grinning as soon as she saw the screen. "Looks like I do have a date for tonight girlies!" She squealed excitedly and jumped up and down on the spot. Kaitlyn grinned, knowing the newest Diva wasn't going to tell them who. "Can we just go and get some food before I rip a random citizens head off!" xXx All he could see was Karlee. Her hair, her skin, her eyes and that pretty little mouth. As he walked through the halls, all he could think about was how he wanted her wrapped up in his arms, shielding her away from the woman he was about to meet. He stopped in front of the door she had told him to be at precisely five minutes ago. He knocked once, loud and hard. He wasn't nervous. Just angry. And worried that his worst nightmares were about to come to light in front of the whole world. The door opened in front of him and his heart dropped. No doubt but much to his knowing, she was wearing a short red dress that showed off her legs and her boobs. He pushed past her gently and stepped into Megan's room. She shut the door ad leant against it, trying to act seductive. "I wondered how long it was going to take you." She purred, stepping over to him and running his hands down his sculpted chest. He briskly moved away and she had to admit, she was a little taken aback. "Dont start this shit. What the fuck do you think you are playing at?" He growled. She sat on the bed. "Nothing. I can't wrestle until my injury clears up and they offered my a less permanent situation until it does." Dean spluttered. "You retired, remember. You are not coming back into this company." His temper was gradually getting shorter and Dean was starting to panic. She was a good wrestler back in the day but she retired almost seven years ago and without constant training,,gifts like that were lost. "Scared I'm going to come back and kick your girl's ass?" She whispered beside his ear. He jumped when he realized how close she was. This was not going to end well. He had never hit a girl before but she was becoming dangerously close to getting bitch-slapped. "She could take you no bother. And when she gets her title tomorrow night, I'm going to make sure nobody takes it away from her." Megan snorted. She traced her finger down his chest. "Well if you are so confident your Barbie can take me, then why are you really here? I heard Karlee isn't cleared for the sack. Come for something to keep you going?" Dean pushed her back onto the bed and she glared at him lustfully, thinking he was about to start something when in fact, he needed space. "You and this kid. Who's the Dad?" Megan's smile dropped. She glanced around the room for a few seconds before a smile appeared on his face. More of a grin but he couldnt care less. "Oh babe, are you worried it's not yours? Or do you secretly want to play house with me?" "Enough. If there is any chance the kid is mine, I want a DNA test and if you can't give it to me, I'll go straight to Vince." She laughed, a wicked tone emanating from her mouth. "But what would you tell Karlee?" Dean's heart dropped. He hadn't had time to think about it. How would she handle having a stepchild knowing she had lost theirs only a few months back. It could spell the end of their relationship and Dean might have to choose between a relationship with the woman he loved or sharing a child with the woman he despised. He glared at her and every little thing she was doing and saying was wrong. She wasn't Karlee. "If the kid is mine, I will tell her, in my own time." "Well Mox, better start practising your speech, because you my man have a five year old little boy." xXx Sorry about the wait lovlies! Have already started the next chapter to expect it soon!
