SUB TITLE: DIRTY DEEDS
CHAPTER 13
"I was thinking I could pick up a bathing suit in LA. Wade booked the house already…" Olivia spouted off the details for their 4th of July weekend as she paced around her apartment. "I'll have to go buy the wine and pick up the keg as soon as we land."
"I slept with Roman!" Robin blurted out her dirty little secret.
"I had sex with Seth!" Olivia plopped into a chair as she and Robin eased their consciences. They had both been trying to keep busy with the details of the 4th of July bash they were planning in LA for the wrestlers during their break.
"When the hell did you sleep with Seth…and how was it?!" Robin felt guilty, but she'd always be "Robin".
"It was amazing…and it was back in May."
"May! You slept with him 2 months ago?!" Robin took a minute to reflect on her own dirt. "Wait, I slept with Roman in May."
"Uh huh! Oh my Gosh, Robin!" Olivia joked with Robin. "How was it?"
"Girl! Take your highest expectation and DOUBLE it!" The women screamed and exchanged stories before Olivia's phone rang. It was Wade.
"Hey baby! Me and Robin are here hanging out."
"Hey Love! Tell Robin I said hello. When does your flight leave Philly?"
"We fly out at 6 tomorrow morning. We're gonna set everything up for the BBQ when we get there." Olivia tried not to laugh at Robin who pulled up a picture of Seth on her phone and was miming suggestive things pretending to be Olivia.
"Cool. Give me a call when you land, Livy. I love you." Robin stopped fooling around when she heard Wade say those special three words through the phone.
"I love you too, baby. Bye." She hung up and a fell back in the chair at her dining room table. "I'm such a bitch!"
"No you're not, Liv. You're a woman who has feelings for two men. You can't help who you want." Robin looked down at the floor trying to fight her own feelings.
"You okay, Robin?"
"I fucked up, Liv. Dean is the love of my life and I fucked his best friend! I'm so messed up!" Robin rubbed her face and pulled at her long, wavy tresses.
"Why did you want Roman so bad? I mean- I know he's sexy as hell, but why did you risk everything with Dean for him?" Olivia realized she could ask herself that same question.
"The temptation was crazy." Robin got up to find the bottle of Cabernet she stashed at Olivia's place for emergencies. "Liv, I've never been committed before! Dean has been amazing, but are we meant to be together?" Robin popped the bottle and poured a glass for her and Liv.
"Robin, I've never seen you love one man so much. You and Dean are perfect for each other, but you need to cut this thing off with Roman. That's bad for business!" The women laughed and toasted each other.
"You're right, Liv. I gotta stop this…he's just so damn fine! And he has this way of touching me that's strong yet gentle at the same damn time!"
"I know, I know….but Dean means so much more to you!" Olivia held out her glass for Robin to toast.
"I'd lose my mind without that lunatic in my life!"
"I know you would! Dean is first guy I've ever seen you willingly commit to!" Olivia laughed at Robin actually having deep feelings for a man.
"Yeah, I think this thing with him is the closest either of us will get to marriage! Now what about you, Liv? Seth or Wade?" Olivia knew she couldn't choose between them. She had a crazy connection with Seth, but Wade had become a beautiful surprise.
"I can't choose, Robin. I honestly don't know!" Olivia poured another glass of wine as Robin laughed at her being in the same situation Robin had been in all her life.
"I don't think you should choose right now, Liv. Just live your life! It'll all fall into place!" Robin finished her glass of wine and left Olivia in the kitchen to think. Olivia's decision couldn't come down to who stroked her the best. It would come down to who captured her heart, not just her body.
Robin and Olivia arrived at LAX around noon and picked up their rental car before heading to the vacation house. The house was right on the beach and they could see the tide flowing onto the beach from the living room.
"Now THIS is the right way to celebrate the 4th of July!" Robin dropped her suitcase on the sofa before exploring the rest of the house. Olivia's heart was heavy as she studied a text message from Seth saying he'd be joining Dean and Roman when they came to the 4th of July BBQ. Once again she'd be under the same roof with Wade and Seth and more than likely experiencing an awkward situation.
"Robin, you ready to go shopping before the guys get here?" Olivia grabbed the keys and walked towards the front door.
"Right behind you, Liv." Robin came jogging down the steps after claiming one of the bedrooms for her and Dean by putting her suitcase on the bed.
They breezed through the streets of LA making fun of the fake tans and fake breasts as they ran the errands they needed to run for the weekend. Olivia's mind kept drifting to Seth and Robin tried to ignore her friend's clearly distracted state, but she couldn't do it anymore.
"Ok Liv, what's on your mind? Talk to me!" Robin turned in the passenger seat to look at Olivia as she navigated the road back to the beach house.
"Nothing…" She fell silent drawing a disbelieving stare from Robin. "Ok, Seth is coming." Olivia waited for a surprised reaction from Robin that never came.
"Um-I kinda knew that already." Robin gave a Kanye shrug before holding her hand over her face so Olivia couldn't see her.
"Really, Robin?!"
"Dean told me that Seth didn't want to go back to Iowa for their break. So he invited him to stay in LA. He'll probably get a hotel room."
"Oh my Gosh! I wonder if Wade knows he's coming…" Olivia drifted off again with a stressed look on her face.
"I'm pretty sure he knows, Liv. Wade invited all the guys. Wade and Seth are cool now. Everything will be fine!" Robin tried to calm Liv down, but a phone call from Wade made her jump.
"Hey baby!" She sounded incredibly nervous.
"Hey Livy. You okay? What are you guys up to?"
"Robin and I just went shopping and we're heading back to the house. Where are you?"
"We're getting in a cab at LAX. We'll be there shortly." Olivia's heart raced as she tried to figure out how to ask who was with Wade.
"Hey Wade! Is Dean with you?" Robin yelled from the passenger seat.
"Tell Robin that Dean and some of the other guys are still getting their luggage. They'll be getting to the house a little later."
"Okay, we'll meet you at the house, Wade."
"Later, Love." Olivia's question hadn't been answered concerning who was with him. As much as it killed her, she'd have to wait until they all met at the house to find out.
Once Liv and Robin got back to the house, they prepped the food and drinks for the guys before going to sit out on the deck overlooking the beach. Robin popped a bottle of champagne and filled their glasses.
"Liv, here's to an amazing weekend with the men we love…and the ones who are just fun to sleep with!" Robin clinked glasses with Liv before they heard the front door open.
"Livy?" Wade called throughout the house and there were other indistinguishable voices filling the living room. The women walked back into the house to greet Wade.
"Hey Baby!" Olivia ran to Wade and flung her arms around his neck. She looked around to see that the "we" was Sheamus, and Curtis Axel. She smiled as she greeted them with a hug and kiss on the cheek. Just as she took a second to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the front door open again.
"Hey big spenders, thanks for leaving me to pay the taxi driver!" Seth dropped his bag on the floor as he playfully snapped Curtis into a headlock. Wade pulled Olivia in the kitchen to talk to her away from the rest of the group.
"Livy, I hope you don't mind, but I invited Seth to stay here this weekend. I know you seemed to be okay with being around him before, but I just want to make sure you're comfortable with this." Olivia put on a fake smile and kissed Wade on the cheek.
"Are you okay with him staying here for the weekend? I mean-Seth and I are fine, but I wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable." Olivia's eye shifted to the living room where a few other wrestlers just arrived and were greeting each other. Wade kissed her hand bringing her attention back to him.
"I'm fine with it, Love. What you guys had was in the past." He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into him. "I've got you and the championship. I won!" Olivia laughed and reached up to kiss Wade before leading him back into the living room with their guests.
Dean, Roman and Cesaro had just arrived and the house was officially full. Dean made a bee line for Robin and shoved his tongue down her throat.
"I missed you, Tweety."
"I missed you too, baby." They embraced each other until Curtis Axel shoved Dean.
"Ok guys break it up!" Curtis laughed as he bumped in to Dean. While they were playing around, Robin had an opportunity to look at Roman whose eyes were intensely glued to her. She turned her head before giving him a flirtatious smile.
"Check out this view!" Dean walked over to the door of the deck.
"It's breathtaking." Roman said while standing almost directly behind Robin and looking at her ass. Remembering her vow to leave him alone for the sake of her and Dean's relationship, she walked over to Dean and slipped her arm around his waist. Olivia laughed at the calculated exchange as she stood there with Wade's arm around her.
"Well, we've got some 'unpacking' to do…" Dean grabbed Robin by her waist and led her to the steps. The other guys cheered and laughed knowing exactly what Dean meant. Roman caught Robin's eye as she scanned the taunting crowd. He had a smirk on his face. She quickly turned her head and continued to walk up the steps.
The other wrestlers dispersed throughout the house to claim their rooms, except Seth. He stayed downstairs to watch Olivia lay out the various trays for the guys. Wade was off making sure the other guys didn't take the master bedroom that he already claimed for him and Liv.
"This should be a fun weekend." Seth walked in to the kitchen and pulled his shirt over his head exposing his chiseled chest and abs.
"Yeah it should." Olivia tried not to lift her head from the fruit tray she was arranging. Just as Seth was getting ready to place his hands on Liv's hips, he heard Wade coming down the steps. So he stepped back and acted like he was getting something to drink.
"Well Seth, it looks like all the rooms are taken, but you can crash on the couch."
"No problem, man. I'm no stranger to sleeping on couches." Wade walked up to Olivia and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek.
Seth gave a sly smile before walking back into the living and plopping on the couch. He kicked his feet up on the coffee table and put his hands behind his head as he gazed out over the Pacific Ocean.
"This is gonna be fun. Let the games begin!" Seth thought to himself as he chuckled at Wade's false sense of confidence. This would be a weekend none of them would soon forget.
