ATM: The Bonehead and the Brain – The Black Heart Diaries
After her movie with John Cena and the Rock becomes a Hollywood hit Sasha Banks pitches a web series called the Black Heart Diaries and offers Bayley the lead role based on her diary.
Chapter Twenty – Shield Night
Sugarfish, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, CA, 9pm
The Shield were all spending their last night in Los Angeles at the same restaurant. Sugarfish was not only The Rock's favourite restaurant, it was the Shield's as-well and Seth, Roman, Dean and Bayley were all out tonight in the same place but sitting at different tables on different dates.
"I'm so glad we finally got to do this, it's been so long since it was just the two of us," Roman said to Seth raising his glass of wine with a handsome smile.
Seth laughed at Roman, "You don't have to sound so goofy when you miss me Roman and will you quit staring into my eyes like that? People are going to start wondering about us, don't make me call Sasha and tell her to join us," Seth said and Roman ignored him and leaned on his elbow looking happier than Seth had seen him in a long time.
A few tables down Bayley was doing the same thing to the Rock who was going on and on about his Hollywood schedule. It was crazy how busy he was but Bayley didn't mind hearing how many appearances he had booked this week with John Cena. They were still promoting the movie they did with Sasha Banks which was a huge hit and they couldn't wait to make the sequel with her next year after the baby was born. Bayley just sat and nodded as the People's Champ talked and talked, counting down the moments til she finally got her hands on him which hopefully would be some time later tonight.
A few tables across from Rocky and Bayley the Ambrose Family were watching the other three Shield members enjoy their respective dates. Renee had lost her appetite when Bayley sat down to eat with the Rock and Dean was worried that Seth and Roman were going to get into another fight about Bianca Belair spending too much time with Seth.
"You wanna have a baby?" Dean asked Renee who laughed at him. "So I'll take that as a no,"
"Me have a baby with you? Don't be ridiculous Ambrose," Renee said taking another sip of her wine. "Aren't you happy with the way things are?"
"Not after I saw the way you reacted when you held Faith Star Michaels in your arms. I've never seen you be that way with a kid, those little blond curls brushing against your face, kinda like my hair used to before I changed it up. It looked so right and it happened so naturally, I just think we should give it a shot," Dean said with a simple shrug.
"Faith Star is a beautiful girl but she's a baby, she would have been like that to anyone. It was hardly a special moment, I bet she doesn't even remember my name," Renee said and Dean nodded.
"I was just checking because if you did want to have a baby I would be totally cool with that," Dean said and Renee smiled at him and she squeezed his hand lovingly.
"That's good to know," she said softly with a smile but she was also distracted. "Can we change the subject?"
"Sure, what do you wanna talk about?" Dean asked her sipping on his beer.
"Why the Hell did you and Roman let Bayley into the Shield? That woman has been nothing but trouble for Seth and Sasha all year, why would you let her get so close to you?" Renee asked curiously.
"Okay I'm going to change the subject again, do you miss my curly bangs?" Dean asked his wife who blushed.
"Yes I do I miss them very much," Renee said remembering Dean's old hairstyle fondly. "I miss brushing them out of your face after we kissed,"
"Should I grow my hair out for you?" Dean said and Renee gave him a thumbs up.
"That would be awesome," Renee said with a smile.
"Then I'll do it on one condition: you accept Bayley as part of the Shield," Dean said and Renee almost spat up her wine.
"Forget it, keep your old hair I am never going to accept Bayley as part of the Shield," Renee said. "That woman cannot be trusted,"
"I don't have a problem trusting her and neither does Roman, you having a problem is a problem for me though babe," Dean said.
"I don't care she's a scorpion, just when you think you're safe, she strikes. Roman doesn't exactly have the best judgement right now so don't be defending him to me. All he does is stress out Seth, he can't even see what's going on and neither can you," Renee said and she took another sip of her wine. "That's what happens when the Shield has no leadership. You all become co-dependent and before you know it one if not all of you get hurt and Bayley is about to bring you three a whole world of hurt,"
"Do you have a Gift from God now too because you're starting to sound a little prophetic," Dean asked his wife.
"If I do I know nothing about it, it's just that I've known you guys since the beginning and Bayley is not the same person she used to be. She creeps me out, she doesn't even hug anymore! All she does is salivate over Sasha's husband and ya'll act like she's not a threat anymore because you can't see what's she's doing. It drives me crazy!" Renee said fervently.
"I think you're wrong, she does hug. She hugs Seth all the time," Dean said.
"Exactly, she's all over him like a lovesick puppy it makes me sick," Renee said.
"So is Roman, everybody loves Seth," Dean said. "He's a loveable guy,"
"When you guys do it its fine but when she does it I just feel like I'm watching a dirty movie," Renee said. "Alexa's right she needs to get a boyfriend of her own, maybe this date with the Rock is a step in the right direction,"
Dean laughed back in his chair as the waiter brought them some more rice crackers, "You really think Bayley's going to lose her virginity to the Rock? The Rock goes through more women than a piercing gun," he said.
"She could do a lot worse, I know it's not love but maybe meaningless sex is the answer here," Renee said with a shrug.
"I don't think sex can ever be meaningless, haven't you noticed the way Seth keeps looking over at Bayley? You think for one second Rocky's going to get anywhere near Bayley's virginity with Seth around? Bayley will get a People's Kiss at most, they are not having sex tonight," Dean said adamantly.
"Why not?" Renee said with a frown.
"Because Rocky's not eligible, if he was Seth would have put him on the list of eligibles he made with Hunter for Alexa. Rocky's not only way out of Bayley's league he's a bonafide womanizer, there's no way that Seth will let Bayley go to bed with him tonight, or any other night without him putting a ring on her finger first," Dean Ambrose said and now it was Renee's turn to laugh.
"The Rock's not marrying Bayley," she said. "I say they will have sex tonight, probably on Malibu beach,"
"I'm telling you it's not going to happen. We're talking about the second most important woman in Seth's life next to Sasha, the guy Bayley does it with has to be approved by Seth and Rocky ain't that guy," Dean said.
"Can he at least touch her boobs?" Renee protested.
"Only if he wants his hands cut off afterwards," Dean replied.
"Okay Seth is not a freakin extremist, he's not going to cut Rocky's hands off if he touches Bayley's boobs," Renee said.
"They might as-well be locked in a glass case because Rocky ain't getting a squeeze of those little orbs anytime soon," Dean said and he laughed out loud at his wife's disbelief. "Trust me babe I know my best friend and I know how much he cares about us all. He has very high esteem for each of us, especially when it comes to our love lives,"
"I'm surprised you even got my bra off now," Renee said and Dean laughed hard over the table while Renee tried to talk herself into appreciating Seth's affection as just that and nothing more. "I guess I'm like Roman when it comes to Bayley, I just don't want Seth anywhere near her, or her boobs,"
"Bayley has very nice boobs," Dean Ambrose said.
"Don't be weird Dean," Renee said in disapproval. "Can we change the subject again?"
"Sure," Dean said as the waiter came over.
"Are you ready to order?" he asked them and Dean and Renee looked at the menu.
"Should we break the bank tonight babe?" Renee asked her husband.
"No, I wanna save some money for your birthday," Dean replied.
"You guys can order whatever you want, the Rock said he's paying for your dinner," the waiter said and Dean and Renee waved at the People's Champ and he smiled back at them.
"He definitely deserves to see Bayley's boobs now," Renee said and Dean laughed while the waiter gave them both a strange look.
The Rock was finally done debriefing his daily planner and he turned his attention back to Bayley, "So I heard you have nice boobs is that true?" he asked her.
"Yes that is true," Bayley replied.
"Do I get to see them tonight?" Rocky asked and Bayley nodded enthusiastically.
"You absolutely do Rocky, in fact, I've made a list of things that I want you to do to me tonight. Here's the list, it's in order so just read it from the top down," Bayley said handing Rocky her diary where she had written explicit instructions of how she wanted her night with The Rock to end.
Rocky took the diary thinking it was a joke and he read the list and three minutes later he was blushing like a red velvet cake. "Wow, that's very descriptive. You obviously put a lot of thought into this," he said trying to conceal his embarrassment. "I thought I'd done it all but according to this list of yours I am way behind in my bedroom skills,"
"Don't worry I'll make sure you catch up tonight," Bayley said touching his hand affectionately and Rocky gave her a full glance before closing the diary and giving it back to her.
"Bayley I'm joking, you didn't really think we were going to sleep with each other on the first date did you?" he asked her gently but seriously and Bayley's face fell.
"I think I made it perfectly clear what I wanted us to do tonight right here in my diary," Bayley said pointing to her diary.
"Bayley that diary is not reality, people don't do stuff like that to each other. I think there are animals in therapy after seeing a list like that, actual animals Bayley. We humans tend to get to know each other before even getting to the first entry on that list let alone the 48th entry," Rocky said.
"What are you tired, do you need to rest or something? I understand that this would require a lot of physical exertion but I promise you it will be fun!" Bayley said and Rocky couldn't figure out if she was kidding or not. The things that Bayley wrote down were by far the dirtiest things he'd even seen written down and he came up through the Attitude Era of the WWE.
"Bayley I know we don't really know each other that well but I think I need to know something before I go down a road I never thought I'd be going down tonight. Are you a virgin?" he asked her and Bayley blushed. "Okay that explains a lot,"
"What I never said anything!" Bayley protested.
"You didn't have to but it sure makes a lot of sense now. You have no idea what sex is but I do like the fact that you want to have it with me so here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take you out three days a week for the next four months. We'll have dinner, we'll talk and we'll get to know each other. After the fourth month if you're still as hot for me as you are right now, I might consider the first thing on your list. We need to get to know each other Bayley before we can even consider doing what you want to do and you want to do a lot of stuff, half of which I'm pretty sure I'll need a permit for in some States," Rocky said and Bayley looked at him confused.
"Hold up, you want to date me again?" she said surprised. "I thought this was a hook up!"
The other customers looked up and over at the Rock's table as Bayley threw a fit calling Rocky every name under the sun, causing the manager to come and calm her down.
"No that's okay she's just a little upset," Rocky said when the manager asked if he wanted him to call the police on Bayley. "That's fine we're fine, I'll pay for everyone's dinner. Sorry for the disruption everyone!"
"Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!" the other customers chanted and Bayley finally sat back down with her arms crossed.
"So let me get this straight, you brought me out here for sushi?! Like a real date?!" Bayley said furiously.
"Wow," Seth said shaking his head while Roman wondered if he should go bail out his cousin. "it sounds like your cousin really screwed up tonight,"
"Bayley's calmed down now so let's get back to us," Roman said giving Seth a big smile but Seth was still looking over at Bayley and Rocky's table, "Hey, eyes back on me now Seth,"
"I wonder what she got so upset about?" Seth said and Roman leaned over and turned Seth's head in his direction.
"That's better, come on Seth I'm much easier on the eyes than Bayley," he said arrogantly and Seth smiled at Roman.
"Is there a woman alive that you won't trash when it comes to me Roman?" Seth asked.
"This is the longest I've had your eyes on me for months and I am not about to squander it," Roman replied.
"I'm just saying you keep looking at me like that and people are going to think we're on a date," Seth said and Roman batted his eyes at him and Seth laughed out loud. "Yeah keep doing stuff like that and a guy's going to come over here and give you his phone number,"
"I already got six numbers before we sat down," Roman said. "Six dudes are going to be very disappointed,"
"Poor bastards," Seth said. "I hope you let them down easy,"
"Actually I wanted to beat the crap out of them but it's hard to Superman punch in Sugarfish," Roman replied as the first dude waved at him from the far corner of the restaurant. "Why do men find me so attractive?"
"Because you're attractive," Seth replied simply. "I wish some men weren't as attractive, being good looking can cause real problems when you're a newlywed,"
Roman's face turned dark, "This better not be about Bianca and Montez Ford. Do not ruin our date by bringing those two up!"
"This is not a date Roman!" Seth said.
"Then why are we arguing?" Roman replied. "Come to think of it I can't even remember the last time you told me that you loved me,"
"Oh for crying out loud," Seth said throwing his napkin over the table and Roman laughed; pretending to be gay always got under Seth's skin.
"Are you taking out your cell-phone?" Roman said as Seth checked to see if Sasha was okay. "I can't believe you're calling your wife on our date night,"
Seth laughed to himself, "You really need to stop pretending we're lovers," Seth said as he sent Sasha a text.
"Don't tell me how to feel!" Roman said flicking his hair back flamboyantly and Seth burst out laughing. He was having fun with Roman for the first time in forever and it felt good. "See isn't it fun being out with me?"
Seth shook his head and put his cell-phone away, "You haven't exactly been fun these days Roman but if going out with you one-on-one is what it takes for you to be in a good mood then so be it. I'll make sure not to invite Bianca to any of our "dates"," Seth said coolly.
"That's all I ask, leave that Braided beauty at home with her husband where she belongs. I'm the only muscle you need in your life Seth Rollins," Roman said flicking his hair again and Seth burst out laughing over the table holding his sides, eventually he was rolling on his side with his belly bursting with laughter. Roman smiled at his best friend; it was so good to see him not worrying about Bianca Belair, or any woman for that matter. Now that Seth was going to be a father it was really important that he connect with his boys again. In a few months he was pretty sure he wouldn't see Seth at all. Being a father was a full-time job and this was about as much fun as he was likely to have with Seth and he was going to max it out tonight.
