Chapter Sixteen – Bayley's Audition
The Rock's House, Hollywood, CA, 8am PST
Sasha stared into her husband's eyes enthusiastically after telling him her idea for a web series based on Bayley's diary. As usual Seth was preoccupied with all thing related and had been praying for the Fords all night long. Sasha thought that this would take his mind off of what was a very serious situation indeed and the Rock was coming home today and she wanted to pitch it to him before he went back on the road.
So what do you think, is it a good idea?" Sasha asked excitedly while playing with Seth's curly hair. His hair had a smell and texture that the Boss liked a lot thanks to Bianca's combing skills. Whatever she put in her husband's hair was right up Sasha's alley and she paused to take another whiff of her husband's gorgeous hair. As weird as it looked Seth compensated it by getting a close up of his wife's new mom boobs everytime she leaned over him so they all got something out of the exchange.
"I think if Bayley's fine with it then we have to be very suspicious. It wasn't too long ago that Bayley was trying to destroy our marriage, why does she want the whole world to know what she wrote in her diary? She might have an ulterior motive, or Stephanie might be putting her up to this," Seth replied as Sasha continued to smell his hair. "Sasha did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah you still don't trust Bayley, how come?" Sasha replied smelling Seth's hair like it was a bunch of flowers.
"Mostly because she sat in the closet listening to us having sex yesterday," Seth said and Sasha laughed. "You think that's funny?"
"I'm not laughing at that I'm laughing because one of your curls tickled my nose," Sasha said. "Your curls are so vibrant its like I'm burying my face in a valley of roses,"
Seth smiled; whateve did to his hair was certainly having a positive effect on his marriage. It was probably the reason his wife wasn't taking his suspicion of Bayley seriously; she was clearly too in love with him to care.
"I just think we need to be cautious about letting Bayley get too close to us too quickly and I think this diary is a step too soon. Let me get some more information on what Stephanie's got planned with Charlotte before you and Bayley sign up for anything. If I don't find anything incriminating then I'll sign up and do the web series with you," Seth said and now Sasha really was laughing at him.
"Yeah right, like Hunter's gonna let you do anything other than wrestle. DX have got you locked up tight babe you won't have time to do the series with your crazy schedule, the only reason you're here right now is because of what happened with Charlotte Flair on the East Coast. Now tha and Charlotte are back on good terms you'll be back on the road in a few days," Sasha said.
"Just because Charlotte said she's Bianca's friend it doesn't mean that things are all good between them. Remember the prophetic word God spoke concerning Bianca's marriage, that word still stands which means things are going to get worse before they get better. As long as Charlotte is working with Stephanie on the East Coast I think I'll be here with you and Bianca for a long time," Seth replied as Sasha pulled her fingers though his curls lovingly. "You're really loving on me this morning Banks, I need to tell Bianca to do my hair more often,"
"I'll pay her to do it, your hair's never looked so good," Sasha said and Seth smiled as she raised his head to meet hers and gave him a long and sweet kiss.
As the kiss broke Seth got a pleasant taste on his tongue, "Mmm, cherry flavoured lip balm. Where'd that come from?" he asked enjoying the sweet taste now residing on his lips.
"Bianca gave it to me, she said you'd like it. Does that girl know you or what?" Sasha said and Seth raised his eyebrow at his wife.
"Why aren't you more threatened by Bianca? How many women would be comfortable with someone like Bianca being so close to their husband?" Seth asked.
"How many women are carrying your baby?" Sasha replied.
"Got it," Seth replied and Sasha kissed him again caressing his head as Seth lowered himself back onto the bed like a drawbridge that Sasha was about cross. "Wait, check the closet to see if Bayley's in there," he said as Sasha prepared to make love to him for the third time that morning.
Sasha pulled off her t shirt and threw it at the closet, "Get out of there Bayley!"
Bayley emerged seconds later, "I'm sorry guys I just never know the right time to be in your room," Bayley said picking up Sasha's t shirt.
"How about never?" Seth replied as Sasha started to pull down his pants. "Wait til she's gone Banks,"
"I'm pregnant I can't wait that long," Sasha said as Bayley held up Sasha's t shirt in front of herself to see if it would fit her.
"This t shirt can't fit me anymore, you really are putting on weight Banks. Being pregnant is damaging your wardrobe," Bayley said but Sasha was too busy kissing her husband to reply. "Don't worry I won't let you get fat; people won't even know you're pregnant by the time I'm done with you," Bayley pulled off her t shirt and put Sasha's now oversized t shirt on. "I guess I can work out in it,"
"Will you get her out of here?" Seth said to his wife holding his pants up so Sasha couldn't remove them. "No sex until she's gone,"
"You're asking me to throw her out aren't you?" Sasha asked Seth who nodded.
"I would remove her myself but I might do some damage at least if you throw her out the worst that could happen is that she ends up going head first into the banister by the stairs," Seth replied laughing.
"I'm pregnant Seth do you know how strong I am right now? I bet I could wrestle you and win," Sasha said.
"I'd let you win just so you could be on top of me," Seth replied and Sasha leaned over him and kissed him on the mouth.
"I love being on top of you," Sasha replied and she removed her gold rope chain and threw it at Bayley.
"Ow!" Bayley cried out as the chain hit her in the back of the head.
"Get out Bayley," Sasha said wanting to remove further articles of her husband's clothing but she couldn't see anymore of Seth until Bayley was out of the room.
Bayley picked up the gold chain and put it around her neck, "I can't pull this off," she said removing the chain and she put it on Sasha's night stand. "I'm keeping this t shirt," she said as she walked out of the room. "Seth your hair smells amazing,"
"Thank you!" Seth called in response as Bayley closed the door giving them the privacy they wanted.
She wondered downstairs to join the rest of the household, which included Alexa Bliss and AJ Styles who had stayed over from their date in West Hollywood. "What am I doing?" Bayley said to herself, "Am I happy for them? I should be pissed that they're so in love, why am I not more angry that they love each other so much?"
Bianca Belair slid down the banister meeting Bayley at the bottom of the steps, "Because you're a good person and you want your friends to be happy," Bianca replied taking Bayley by surprise.
"Where did you come from?" Bayley asked Bianca.
"My workout is synced to Seth's um, yeah - nevermind. Just believe what I told you," Bianca said having just showered after finishing a high intensity workout with her husband.
"What do you know about it? Seth's only been your mentor for a month," Bayley responded folding her arms unimpressed even though Bianca's physical appearance was very impressive.
"I've been the victim of your Black Heart madness just like everyone else I know how you feel about him Bayley. Now that I have a Gift from God I know the Truth about how you feel about Seth and Sasha. Deep down inside you want them to be together because deep down inside that's what you've always wanted," Bianca explained and Bayley eyed her suspiciously.
"What are you saying that I've been pretending to hate Sasha this whole time?" Bayley said.
"You think you're better for Seth than she is but if it came down to choosing anyone but yourself to be with Seth forever, it would be the Boss. There's something stopping you from being completely one hundred percent happy for them though, I just don't know what it is. As soon as I find out I'm gonna tell Seth about it and give him the closure he so desperately needs," Bianca said.
"Seth needs closure?" Bayley asked intrigued. "For what?"
"You wrote it in your diary," Bianca said pointing to the black book under Bayley's arm. "you think that Seth loves you more than Sasha. At one point that was True and you're holding out for that so that if things turn sour you can just swoop right in and Seth can carry on where he left off all those years ago in NXT,"
"Wait are you saying that Seth hasn't gotten over me?" Bayley said her face lighting up like a full moon.
"You never stop loving someone Bayley, even if you choose not to share your last name with them. Why do you think Seth fought so hard to save your life when everyone else wanted you dead? He risked his own marriage to save your life now if that's not love Bayley, I don't know what is," Bianca said and she pinched Bayley's cheek, "I can tell from that look that you are about to have a very good day,"
"God bless you E S T!" Bayley said pulling Bianca into a hug and swinging her around. "I knew there was hope for me and Seth!"
"Bayley I think you're missing the point I was making; he chose to marry Sasha and you have to respect that," Bianca said.
"Oh I respect it I so respect it!" Bayley said spinning around and skipping through the Rock's living room causing Alexa, AJ, Roman, Dean and Renee to look up from their breakfasts.
"Good morning Shield Bayley," Dean said giving Bayley a fist bump and she joined the Shield at the kitchen island.
"Good morning Shield brother, Renee are you going to join the Shield too? Now that Bliss is no longer Seth's Maid of Booty we could sure use another blond," Bayley said as Roman made her some cereal.
"Why are you so happy this morning?" Renee asked Bayley suspiciously. "You're only ever this happy when you've seen Seth naked,"
"Me see Seth naked, how inappropriate would that be he's a married man Renee?" Bayley said eating her berry muesli that Roman made from scratch. "I don't need to see Seth naked to be happy,"
"But it sure wouldn't make you unhappy would it?" Renee said. "I don't trust you Bayley and I sure as Hell am not going to eat breakfast with you,"
Renee got up from the island and headed outside to the pool house.
"Wow she does not like you," Bianca Belair said pulling up a stool to join the Shield for breakfast. "Do you guys mind if I join you? My husband's still in the shower and he takes long showers,"
"So why don't you go join him?" Roman said and Dean elbowed him. "Ow!"
"Don't be so rude Roman I think you need to end this beef you have with Belair. She saved Charlotte Flair's life last night, the woman's a national treasure now show her some respect and make her a bowl of that delicious cereal," Dean said firmly.
Roman huffed, "Fine but only because you're a badass," he said, "not because I like you,"
"Hey its not like I was the one in the closet waiting for Seth and Sasha to have sex for the third time this morning," Bianca said ratting out Bayley who grew red with embarrassment. "Ha-ha I told on you!"
"Bayley that's disgusting!" Alexa Bliss said screwing up her nose with revulsion.
"I was trapped there was no escape I couldn't get out!" Bayley lied.
"Urgh, you're such a creep. Why don't you just get laid like every normal person walking this planet?" Alexa said feeling nauseous. "It's bad enough that Charlotte Flair's trying to steal Bianca's husband for real but why are you still crushing on Seth after all this time?"
"What was that about Charlotte Flair?" Montez Ford asked taking everyone by surprise especially Bianca. "Alexa what did you just say about Charlotte liking me for real?"
"Um..." Bliss stuttered looking at Bianca nervously. "Do you want to tell him or should I?"
"Tell me what?" Montez asked his wife but Bianca responded by taking Roman's homemade cereal and inhaling it so she couldn't talk.
"Have a seat Montez I think you and your wife have a lot to talk about," Roman said passing Montez a bowl of his homemade cereal while the Shield went to join Renee in the pool house with Alexa and AJ Styles.
Alexa poked Bayley with annoyance. "I'm still mad at you Bayley, I thought this thing with you and Seth was over?"
"I told you I was stuck in the closet!" Bayley said.
"Well I think it's time you came out of the closet, I'm setting you up with one of the men on my list of eligibles," Alexa Bliss replied and Bayley screwed up her nose.
"Ew, I don't want your cast offs. I can find my own date," Bayley said. "I'll have to get Seth to approve my choice of course as his opinion supercedes yours as he is the founder of the Shield and you're just his former Maid of Armpits,"
"That's Maid of Armour," Alexa Bliss corrected her. "Seth and Hunter corrected the list so he's already approved of all the names that are on it. Only the best for his former Maid of Armour,"
"Like Seth would ever put you and me on the same list; the calibre of men eligible to date me has got to be superior to the calibre of men that can date me. Show me the list," Bayley said.
"I'll just tell you who's on it. AJ Styles of course, Xavier Woods, Ricochet, Roderick Strong, Pete Dunne, Swerve Scott, Cedric Alexander, Angelo Jericho, Hayworth Helmsley, some dude called Marion Cena, Steve Borden II, Kyle O'Reily and Adam Cole," Alexa Bliss said recalling the list from memory.
"Wow that's a good list. Isn't Angelo Jericho the son of Chris Jericho? That could be fun for awhile, something to do to pass the time. Okay set me up with Angelo Jericho I've got a million questions to ask him about his father," Bayley said intrigued.
"No questions about Chris Jericho, he doesn't like to talk about his father," Alexa Bliss warned Bayley who blew a raspberry at Alexa.
"Then I'll pass, you can date those losers I'll just wait for the man of my dreams to show up and sweep me off my feet," Bayley said and the Rock came up behind her and swept her off her feet.
"I'm not on the list but I hope I meet your standards Bayley," Rocky said to a star-struck Bayley.
"You'll do just fine Rocky," Bayley said besotted with the People's Champ.
"Then it's a date let's go to Sugarfish, do you like sushi?" Rocky asked Bayley who was suddenly speechless.
"No it is not happening get your hands off of her Rocky," came the firm voice of Sasha Banks who had finally left the pleasure center of her bedroom to join the rest of the guests in the Rock's mansion.
"Hey Boss where's your hubby?" Rocky asked kissing Banks on the head.
"He's taking a shower you know, to cool off from all the love-making," Sasha said amorously. "but enough about my morning, what's this about Bayley dating again?"
"She can't get out of your bedroom she clearly needs someone of her own to fool around with," Alexa Bliss said.
"And you chose the People's Champ? He's old enough to be her grandfather!" Sasha argued.
"Who are you calling old?!" Rocky asked Banks offended.
"Not for me he isn't Sasha, I'd love to go and eat sushi with you Rocky," Bayley said dreamily.
"But he's not on the list of eligibles!" Alexa Bliss protested.
"Plus Rocky has a date every other week you'd just be another dumb super fan trying to get him to sign off on her Netflix series," Banks said and she pulled Rocky over to her, "speaking of series Rocky I've got a pitch for a series that you have got to hear,"
"Does it have anything to do with me?" Rocky asked her raising his eyebrow.
"No its about Bayley, you know the woman currently drooling on your left arm?" Banks replied and Bayley wiped away the drool with her arm bashfully.
"Okay tell me all about it after our date tonight," Rocky said and he kissed Bayley on the head causing Roman and Dean to gasp.
"Will do," Sasha said as the Rock left to get into his swimwear. "okay Bayley this is it, the Black Heart Diaries will be sure to get off the ground if Rocky likes it. You have got to blow his pants off on this date tonight,"
Bayley couldn't even talk right now, she was hypnotised by the People's Champ, "I've got a date with the Rock, can you believe it?"
Alexa Bliss couldn't believe it and she shook her head to indicate her disbelief as everyone changed into their swim gear and joined the Rock in his very own pool.
"Did I miss something or is Bayley about to go on a date with the most eligible bachelor in all of Hollywood?" Alexa Bliss asked AJ Styles who marvelled at Alexa in her red bikini. As far as the Phenomenal One was concerned there was no-one in Hollywood luckier than he was right now.
"Alexa your body is amazing," AJ said and Alexa blushed.
"I could say the same about you but I don't want us to get too carried away out here. Have you heard anything back from Kenny Omega and his date with the crazy scientist lady from Harvard?" Alexa Bliss said getting into the pool with AJ.
"Nah-uh but I'm sure it went okay otherwise Finn would have called already," AJ said getting close to Alexa.
"I haven't heard a word from Finn, I hope that's good news," Alexa Bliss said. "I was thinking I should go to Harvard later and ask Miss Alexander how it went. Wanna come with me?"
"I can't I gotta work," AJ replied regretfully.
"We can meet up later in the week I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about if the date between Miss Alexander and Kenny went well," Alexa Bliss said. "I know Hunter will be relieved as it'll give him one less thing to worry about. The last thing DX need is for that woman to get her hands back on Blinky, Summer and Justice,"
"That's fine and all but the only thing I wanna do right now Miss Bliss is put my hands on you," AJ Styles said playfully and Alexa swam away from him laughing while Roman shot him a cautionary glare.
"Take it easy AJ remember you guys are still just dating. Don't get too serious there's a lot of other dudes on that list waiting for you to screw up so they can have a date with Alexa Bliss," Roman reminded Styles who sighed.
"I gotta get her to take me more seriously but how?" AJ said thoughtfully. "Maybe I should write a diary of my own, that will show her I mean business," he swam over to Bayley who was staring into Rocky's eyes dreamily. "Hey Bayley can I borrow your diary? I wanna right something about Alexa in it,"
"Why can't you use your own diary?" Rocky asked AJ confused.
"Because Bayley's diary is full of entries about Alexa Bliss, I wanna add my own entry to it so if your web series does get made, my feelings about Alexa will be included," AJ Styles said and the Rock nodded.
"How romantic," he said and Bayley pointed to where her diary was and AJ jumped out of the pool to write his first entry about Alexa in it. He started to write one sentence and an hour later he was still writing. His feelings for Alexa were getting stronger and he didn't want to lose her anytime soon.
