It took about maybe 30 minutes to an hour for Taryn to calm down. She wasn't sure how in the hell she had gotten stuck in this situation, let alone be stuck with Seth Rollins of all people. that man took pride and joy to making her whole life a living hell. She couldn't let this happen. She was a human being and she had rights, right?
She immediately called up her sister, Ariel as the phone rang. Taryn was tapping her foot rather impatiently as there were only a few rings that went through until she finally got through to her sister.
"Hey girl, how are you feeling? Are you out the hospital?" She asked, her voice and everything of her body language showing concern, ready to jump at her sisters beck and call.
"No I'm not at the hospital. But that bastard Seth Rollins, kidnapped me and now Stephanie and Hunter have practically signed my life over to this Lady Gaga demonic spawn to watch over me. I'm practically being held against my will here." She panicked.
"Oh. Yeah, sure you are." Ariel calmed down, glad that her sister couldn't see the smirk on her face right now.
"Ok, I don't understand what's so funny." She was really starting to get on her nerves now.
"Because Seth wants to take care of you and you're acting like a child. But I bet Seth finds it adorable, doesn't he?" She chuckled, to which only made Taryn more upset.
"Are you kidding me right now? This bastard is manipulative and he's evil and you expect me to let him watch over me? I need rescuing! Call the FBI, the Swat Team or something! My poor snuggle bunny is probably worried sick about me."
Taryn knew she was being overly dramatic but she was sure Stefan was worried sick about her.
"Yes we are all sure of-blehhh" Ariel made a retching noise through the phone as she busted out laughing again.
"That's not funny and I may have been asleep, but I heard shouting too. What did you do?" She questioned her older sister as she remember that even though she was medicated, her ears were still working as she could hear arguing and it sounded like Stefan and Ariel's voices when she was in the hospital.
"Oh no biggie." Ariel laid back on the sofa as she picked her nails. "Just clawed Stefan's pretty little face."
"Ariel..." She sighed heavily.
"Oh don't "Ariel" me." She rolled her eyes. "I had to hear it from Roman and Mama as well as almost everyone else. Well except Dean he was looking for a weapon but the point of the matter is, is that he had it coming. He's a rotten cold hearted bastard and the sooner you wake up and realize it, the better you and your sex life will be. Now go make nice with Seth and let him get you better-"
"Ariel.." She almost wanted to scream at her sister until Ariel stopped joking and got serious.
"Seriously, Taryn I don't want to hear anymore of it. I...I almost lost you that night when you were committed to the hospital. When I saw you have that seizure..then I found out you were cutting yourself...I don't want to see that again. I don't know the reasons as to why you cut yourself but we are definitely going to talk about this. All of us no matter what. Stephanie did the right thing suspending you just so you could get help. Please...take care of yourself. I don't want to cry like that anymore."
Taryn fell back on the bed, wiping her eyes. She didn't realize how much she hurt her sister when she passed out like that, much less alone scaring her as well as her friends.
It wouldn't change things about Seth and how she felt towards him, but she knew she had to get better for the sake of her family, her husband and for her fans all across the WWE and to continue living her dream.
"Ok...I'll try.." She spoke to her in a whisper. "But it's not going to be easy, you know."
"I don't expect it to. I just want you to also do this for yourself." Ariel sniffled, wiping her eyes as she smiled. "I'll stop by later to check on you."
She hung up the phone as they ended the conversation. Taryn sighed as she looked around the spacious bedroom. It wasn't small and it was beautiful, actually with the view of the ocean making it better. She looked at her wrists that were bandaged and she pulled out the photo of her sisters together as well as her mom and her grandmother.
She kissed the photo as she decided that it was time to stop acting like a petulant child and try the therapy. She wasn't sure what she would even talk about of her session as of next week, but she would give it a try.
She looked through her bags, grateful that Ariel had dropped off her clothes and even loaned her some of hers as well, happy that they had the same tastes. She loved Kristen's clothes but some of them were too flashy for her taste and too girly girly.
After looking and reviewing over the outfits, she made the choice to go with nice casual long sleeve floral designed romper outfit. She was beginning to strip down, taking off her shirt and about to unclasp her bra when there was a knock on the door and Seth entered, making her yelp and hide under the covers.
"What is wrong with you? Do you know the meaning of a closed door when someone is getting dressed?" She snapped.
"Relax I didn't see anything."
"It doesn't matter." She rolled her eyes, covering herself. "Just turn around until I'm dressed and don't even think about looking."
Seeing that there was no point in arguing with her, he turned around as she quickly finished getting dressed, moving the hair out of her face.
"Ok I'm fine, you can look now." She replied with a sigh.
Seth hide the grin as he turned around, trying not to laugh at the way Taryn ducked under the covers when she was almost in the eyes view of being naked.
"So..what do you want?" She crossed her arms.
"Well, if you've calmed down now." Seth folded his arms as well. "I'd figured maybe if you were hungry, since its getting late and all; I was going to order some Chinese food and then we can set up your therapy appointment for tomorrow.
"Ok." She shook her head, trying to fight the urge to curse him out. But she knew it wouldn't get anywhere. Per the Authority's orders, Seth was in charge of her health and so she had to put up with him for the time being. "I'm fine with Chinese food. Is that all?"
"Well not quite." He sat down on the bed with her as she sat away from him, her knees gathered up in front of him.
"Well what else do you want?" She mumbled, not wanting to talk to him but yet she was curious as to what he was asking for. God knows she was going to be stuck with him for how long until her husband came back from his business trip.
"I actually want to call a truce on this." He surprised her as her eyes widened, looking at him incredulously.
"Why..." She asked him.
"Taryn, we may not get along-" He started but she cut him off immediately.
"That's an understatement." She sneered.
Seth fought the urge to roll his eyes as he continued. "Just hear me out. And don't even try it with the insults, for once."
"Ok." She held her hands up in defeat. "You have the mic."
"Look, I'm not saying we have to like each other, nor do we even have to be in each others way. But think about this; If you and I just cooperate I'm sure you'll be able to get in the ring a lot faster and away from me. And not only that, you'll have all the time in the world to go back to your life. Just let me assist you a little bit."
"I'm not buying it." She looked at him, obviously suspicious of his intentions.
"Fine. Guess I'll prove it then."
He pulled out a Hershey bar as he smirked at her a little bit, knowing it was one of her weaknesses.
"Whats in it?" She took the chocolate bar from him.
"Come on Taryn, I'm not like how I was back in high school. It's actual chocolate." He waved it slowly in front of her. "You know you love chocolate and you can't deny that."
She took the candy bar from him as she opened it, biting into it. "Thanks." She muffled.
It would be nice if for once they wouldn't fight. Maybe during her healing, they could learn to put their differences aside for the moment. But she still didn't trust him. He was Seth Rollins; He was egotistical, arrogant and just down right annoying.
He was also a jackass but that was just the icing on the cake.
"So..how about it? Chinese food tonight?" He gave her a slow smile.
"Ummm..how about we cook inside tonight?" She looked up at him, rather shyly. "I mean, I do know how to cook."
"So do I." He grinned. "Just lazy on these days."
"Well...you can order Pizza and I'll make some dessert." She offered. "If you have enough ingredients, I can definitely make a dessert I think you won't be able to say no too."
"You're on." He grinned.
As he left out her room, Taryn fell back on the bed as Oreo walked inside, looking at his owner.
This was indeed going to be a long long week.
Seth had no idea what was wrong with him as he walked back into his room.
He only decided on a truce for the sake of her even trying to heal and wanting to make sure that she would get back in the ring. He wasn't trying to but all he kept thinking about was trying not to look at the way her lips were pouting, or how she had her long legs bunched up.
He knew he had to stay focused. This truce would actually help and maybe she won't be so stubborn to get help. He thought that if they fought, she would go running back to her husband and he didn't trust the son of a bitch intentions.
He looked down as he saw that his dick was getting rock hard through his skinny jeans. He was glad he got out of there before Taryn noticed.
She was a pain in the ass and was always a complete bitch to him. Granted, he was worse than she was but she always struck a fire in him and it drove him crazy beyond belief.
He heard some noises down in the kitchen as he walked down the steps, praying that his erection would go away. He couldn't like Taryn in that way. As far as he was concerned, this was his worst enemy. Which he was helping to take care of due to her condition so there really wasn't anything to make of this situation.
Anyway, he walked down as he saw Taryn climb up on the counter top to get some things to make her dessert. She was still a little weak so she had almost fallen over until Seth caught her in his arms, as she yelped, thinking she was going to hit her head.
He helped her back on her feet as she suddenly felt a little light headed.
"Why don't you lay down and rest for a bit?"He suggested as she tried to stand up, his arms still wrapped around her midsection.
"I'm fine Seth. I just had a little trouble with my balance, I'm not weak." She sighed, trying not to let her nerves get the best of her.
"You are still dizzy, even the two weeks weren't enough. Now you need to go on and lie down."
Not even given a chance to protest, Seth carried her as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he went over to the love seat, placing her down on it gently.
"When did he get so much stronger?" She thought to herself. And since when did his muscles feel good..."
"Sorry if I'm putting strain on your muscles." She said.
"Actually you are light as a feather. Just don't get too use to it. I think I'm too old to do the piggy back rides." He groaned, stretching as he gave her a wink, making her laugh in the result.
"You know I still want to make that dessert. Chocolate wasn't even close to being enough." She started pouting.
"Alright, fair enough. Why don't you give me the ingredients and I'll make it?" He made the suggestion to her
"Boy, go ahead somewhere. Its my mama's recipe. This isn't any old kind of dessert." She brushed him off as she sat up, trying to walk. "Now if you want me to rest, fine but I'll do that once I make my special treat."
"I can't wait to see what else you'll be cooking in your cauldron." He smirked as she smacked him with a wooden spoon she pulled out the drawer.
"Ow. Just joking!" He rubbed the back of his head.
"Mmmhm." She chuckled. "Now get the ingredients and let's get started."
As she was working on what to make, Seth called up for takeout. The only problem was that it would be a little bit more expensive than he thought it would be from what the man on the phone told him.
Seth scoffed as he hung up the phone. "I'm not paying almost 40 dollars for Chinese food. It's not that damn good."
"I don't eat Chinese food anymore like I use too. So since they are being complete assholes and trying to rob you of money, how about I'll just make us something to eat. I actually can make some homemade Chinese food. If you're nice, you can help."
"Please. You can't cook better than me." He crossed his arms."
"Wanna bet?" She challenged him.
"Actually, I do." He chuckled.
"Well, let's see who can make the absolute best stir fry and broccoli and rice." She turned on the stove after she got what she needed.
Seth was going to opt for Pizza or a different Chinese place. But with Taryn bringing on the challenge and wanting to prove that he wasn't lazy to cook in the kitchen, he just grabbed an apron off the hook.
"You're on."
...
It was over an hour and both of them were over the stove in their own space as they started cooking. Taryn was cutting up green peppers and diced tomatoes as Seth was preparing the cubed steak with adding a few spices and some chopped broccoli and shrimp. Taryn was peeking over to see what else Seth was adding to his dish until he eyed her up and down.
"No peeking." He warned her.
"Oh please. Nothing can beat my stir fry." She started stirring the soy sauce into the pan.
It was almost an hour and then Taryn made her dessert as well as Seth did. After making a bit of a mess, they each had their food done as they went to sit down in the living room.
"Alright. What do you have, little troll?" He couldn't help but jab at her.
"Well Lady Gaga." She retorted. "What I have here is broccoli stir fry with some shrimp and crab and mixed green and red peppers as well as some soy sauce with lemon."
She mixed it in with the rice into the dish, adding another squeeze of lemon juice as she let him try her dish first.
He looked at her and back at the food, thinking she might have poisoned it.
"I already know what you're thinking and trust me, I think the same thing too." She admitted. "But I haven't so stop the paranoia."
"Just making sure." He shrugged as he ate the sample on the spoon.
His taste buds were immediately impressed and the look on his face showed everything. Taryn's cooking was actually really good! Of course, he wasn't going to let her one up him.
"Now you." He was getting over the sensations of the taste, loving every bit of flavor that hit his tongue.
"So, tell me what do you have here?" She pointed to his dish across from her on the table.
"Mine is Chicken stir fry with cucumbers and shrimp, as well as rice and chicken sauce and carrots and well...you know." He shrugged his shoulders innocently.
She took a bite of his food and now this time, she was the one that was impressed.
"This is...holy crap." She chewed the food. "Wow..."
"Food Network can teach you a couple things." He chuckled as she giggled.
"Now the dessert." She presented to him. "I made homemade apple fried doughnuts with white powdered sugar."
"I made snicker cookie bars. Well, my presentation sucks." He gave her the cookie bar as she gave him the apple doughnut.
Once they both bit into each others desserts, they looked at the dessert and back at each other.
"This is really good!" They both said to each other. Taryn couldn't believe that he actually made a pretty damn good dessert and dinner. She licked her lips of the chocolate sauce that was on her lips.
Of course, she wasn't aware of the fact that Seth looked at the way she swiped her top lip and bottom lip to get the chocolate sauce off.
"You know, for an annoying boob, you're a pretty good cook." She chuckled. "Zahra cook for you alot?"
"Yeah...unless you count burnt Ramen Noodles a meal." He snorted, rolling his eyes
He grinned at her slightly as she continued eating, moving her lips as she took in more of his chicken stir fry.
"I can say the same for you too." He slightly admitted, not wanting to give her full credit. "I know your husband really loves your cooking."
Taryn paused her eating as she sighed heavily. "Well...no. He doesn't really like any of my food. Usually he would say he would eat it and then the next day it would go bad so I would have to toss it out, or when he's working late nights I just eat alone."
Seth could hear the sadness in her voice and he sighed inwardly.
She cleared her throat to break the awkward tension that just started.
"So..wanna finish up..since we have to clean tonight anyway.." He looked at his kitchen with the dishes.
"Why the hell not? I gotta take this stupid medicine anyway." She sighed, already trying not to talk about the cuts on her arms.
As she got up to get something to drink, Seth stopped her, grabbing her hand as she looked at him, surprised from the contact.
"Yeah?" She looked at him, not sure what else he needed.
"The therapy will help you tomorrow...and I'm glad you're ok too.." He whispered to her.
She nodded as she quickly got away from him, going into the kitchen to start cleaning as she also grabbed him something to drink.
...
Later that night, Taryn already showered as it was Seth's turn to go into the bathroom. She had to go to therapy tomorrow as well as go to the studio to prepare for her next album and music video, as well as going to the volunteer center. She honestly didn't want to deal with therapy but she knew it was in the contract as stated for her to talk about her cutting.
As long as she wasn't forced to bring up the traumatic experience that she had fought to long to keep in hiding and still did to this day.
She had a towel wrapped around her body and her hair was still dripping wet as Seth walked down the hall, with his towel and sweat pants, bare chested.
"How do you feel?" He asked her softly.
"Um..fine." She nodded as she bit her bottom lip. "I'll get ready for bed now."
"Ok. Night."
"Night." She said as she walked to the guest room, with Oreo following her as she closed the door.
Seth had walked into the bathroom as he got started on his shower. He stripped down as he turned the water onto warm, sliding the door open as he stepped into the cubicle. He got under the water, letting it hit his face and his entire body as he grabbed the soap, ready to wash away with what was going on today.
It actually felt nice that him and Taryn had a nice quiet time for dinner and it was refreshing as well. Putting aside their usual arguing and even with them poking at each other, he can honestly say that he had a nice time with her, especially with her cooking challenge.
As he closed his eyes, enjoying the temperature and the water relaxing his muscles, he saw that the door slid open as Taryn stepped in, nervous.
He blinked, not even believing it was her.
But it was; She had her hair down, her dark green highlights and her tattoos on her thigh as well as her belly button piercing. She was curvy, her heavy set breasts as well as her nipples were hard.
"T-Taryn..." He stuttered, trying to find the words to this. "What are you doing in here..."
"Help me, Seth..." She begged. "Please help me..."
She grabbed his hand as she placed it on her pussy, which was incredibly wet. Seth groaned, feeling her clit pulsing under his fingers.
"I...I tried to do it myself...and I can't...please help me." She whispered.
Seth couldn't remember what took over him. All he knew was that he grabbed her and kissed her passionately as they went under the water. Both of their tongues colliding with each other as she whimpered.
Seth took his fingers as he sucked off her juices, making her moan.
Seth then traced his tongue to her neck and then down to her nipple as he sucked it, rubbing her clit as it started to swell, making her gasp softly, as she held onto him, both of them not even caring how late it was or the fact that the bathroom was steaming up.
He sucked her neck as he palmed her breast in his hand, moaning as his dick hardened.
He really couldn't wait anymore. He needed to fuck her and he needed to do it now.
He wasted no time as he slammed his cock into her as she screamed in pleasure. He grabbed her hips as he lifted her in his arms as she held him, while he started to pound her, making her cry out for him over and over.
He looked at her as she rolled her eyes back, loving the way her face was in the throes of her orgasm, as it was steadily approaching. Seth thought for sure he was going to erupt himself, loving the way her pussy felt so fucking good to him.
"Seth...I'm going to cum..." She panted.
"Cum for me...cum for me, sweetheart." He wrapped a hand around her throat, taking in her kiss hungrily, both of them losing that control. That passion...that desire...
Of course he jolted out of his daydream when the shower turned cold as he realized he had yet another sex dream of Taryn. It felt too real. It felt as though she was right there next to him.
Her soft skin, her lips, and those gorgeous eyes that sparked that wicked fire.
He growled angrily as he turned off the water, snatching his towel and drying off completely. He just wanted these dreams to stop. It was true Taryn pissed him off and to certain extents, he had a strong dislike for her. However, that was starting to die down as he could feel this strange lust for her.
He decided to call it a night and get some sleep. He just thought sleep would let this go soon.
...
Taryn of course, was in her bedroom as she saw Oreo sleeping next to her. She never thought she would say it but she had a pretty nice night with Seth. Without them arguing, she found that she actually had a great time with Seth. From cooking with him in that challenge and in spite of lingering dislike for each other, she found him pretty funny.
Of course she missed her husband dearly and she left him another voicemail to which he still didn't answer his phone, she put it on vibrate as she set her alarm, the therapy in the morning.
She kissed her puppy as she drifted off to sleep completely. Maybe this was a turning point for the both of them.
Or was it really? No one would know yet until the very next day.
