SUBTITLE: BREAKING CHARACTER
CHAPTER 30
The weeks flew by and before they realized it, the wedding weekend was there. Olivia and Robin arrived in Vegas on Thursday morning before the boys. The guest list for the wedding was very small and the only members of the wedding party were Liv and Seth. Everything was simple and tasteful just the way they wanted it. Dean had even pulled some strings to fly Robin's Pastor out to officiate the ceremony. Things were going off without a hitch.
"What's on the schedule for today, Robin?" Robin looked up to the ceiling as she tried to remember the schedule of events she and Dean had decided on for the weekend.
"Today is mani/pedi day for us, then the bachelor/bachelorette party is tonight. Tomorrow we're taking all of our friends to the Bellagio for Brunch. Then, the boys are going gambling while we do some shopping. Tomorrow night, we have the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and then we have to get to bed early because we have massages and facials scheduled before the wedding takes place at 4." Olivia laughed at Robin rattling off the itinerary.
"Girl, you guys planned it all out didn't?"
"Don't make fun of us. We just want this weekend to be special."
"It is special, Robin. You're marrying your soulmate! I can't believe you guys planned your own joint bachelor/bachelorette party."
"Hell yeah! Anything we would do at our individual parties, we'd do with each other. So why not?" Olivia shook her head.
"You know, I truly believe that. You guys are some freaks!"
"Oh please, Miss Threesome!" Olivia's face turned red and she slapped Robin on the shoulder. Even though she was joking at her expense, Olivia had performed her most important duty as Maid of Honor, she got the bride to relax.
The guys landed in Vegas later that evening and they were enjoying a glass or three of scotch while looking out at the view from their penthouse suite.
"I can't believe Dean's crazy ass is getting married!" Jimmy Uso flung his arm around Dean's shoulder and refilled Dean's glass while he wasn't looking.
"I can believe it. He found a girl who's as crazy as he is. They're meant for each other!" Cesaro chimed in with the other guys before swallowing the last of his scotch.
"I can't wait to marry that woman. You guys just don't understand what we have." Dean's speech was slurred and he swung his glass around spilling scotch all over the floor.
"What's the deal with the joint parties tonight, dude? How are we supposed to slap some ass with your bride to be standing right there?" Jey Uso pounded fists with Axel who had been wondering the same thing.
"Let me tell you something, Jey. I guarantee Tweety will slap more ass tonight than I will. You don't know my Tweety!" Dean tried to stand after looking at his cell phone and seeing that it was time to meet the girls for the party. "Let's go party!" All the guys cheered as Dean staggered to his feet and led the group downstairs to the party bus.
Robin and Olivia pregamed with Naomi in their gorgeous suite. Out of all the divas, she was the only one that was actually invited to participate in the festivities that weekend.
"So you don't care if some nasty stripper is shaking her ass in Dean's face?" Naomi looked at Olivia for reinforcement.
"She can shake her ass in his face all she wants! I'm the one he's taking home! Besides, I might get a lap dance tonight too!" Naomi shook her head and Olivia just laughed.
"Naomi, these two are perfectly matched! Dean is the only kind of guy I could see her marrying!" Olivia refilled her cup and then handed Robin the bottle of champagne to finish. "Drink up, girl! It's time to go downstairs to meet your soon to be husband and his boys!" Olivia pulled out a bottle of Patron and poured shots for each of them before they headed down to the lobby to meet the guys.
When they got to the lobby, Robin and Dean went right to each other and embraced in a lip lock that drew attention from passersby.
"These two aren't even gonna make it to the party!" Seth pulled Dean away from Robin causing Dean to give him a death stare. "Easy buddy, just trying to fulfill my duties as best man!" Seth wrapped his arm around Dean's neck and led the whole group out to the party bus.
After a short ride up the strip, they arrived at the first club for their party. They had reserved a section to accommodate their group and they could see the dancers clamoring to get to the WWE superstars as soon as they walked in. Even though they partied together, Robin and Dean sat with their friends. After all, it was still their bachelor and bachelorette parties.
"Who's getting married?" A tall blonde stripper wearing star pasties approached the group as soon as the girls went to the bar.
"That would be this guy right here!" Roman slapped Dean on the back and made him spill his beer.
"Well, we have to take care of you tonight!" She waved for some other girls to come join her. "My name is Destiny and these are my friends Heather, CoCo and Madison." Destiny stayed in front of Dean, but Heather, CoCo and Madison distributed themselves throughout the group of wrestlers. Destiny straddled Dean as she whispered in his ear. "I do private parties for men who are about to get married. We can do whatever you want if you're a big tipper." Dean laughed as he saw Robin returning from the bar with a hand full of ones. She slowly started to drop the ones on Destiny from behind.
"Actually, Destiny…I'm not NEARLY as big a tipper as my beautiful fiancée." Dean winked at Robin over Destiny's shoulder. Cesaro covered his face and shook his head waiting for Robin to attack Destiny.
"He's right Destiny. Can I get a lap dance?" Robin shook the money in her hand in front of Destiny's face. Robin sat down and Destiny proceeded to give her a lap dance. She tucked the ones in Destiny's tiny G string drawing cheers from the wrestlers. Dean sat biting his lip as Robin slapped Destiny's ass. Naomi and Olivia got in on the action getting their own lap dances from the other strippers. Jimmy watched intensely as his wife generously tipped CoCo and all the guys were starting to think a coed party was a great idea.
After the song was over, Robin, Liv and Naomi gave each other high fives and went back to the bar for another drink. Dean and Jimmy Uso bumped fists to congratulate each other on the fun both of them would be having later with their women. Seth had been taking shots of tequila and staring at liv all night. He hoped to get her alone before the night was over. She caught his stare while she was at the bar with the girls and winked at him.
"Hey Dean! Get that sleepy look off your face! The party's just getting started!" Seth ordered another round of shots for the guys before signaling to Liv that it was time to take the party on the road.
"The next stop was a coed strip club called Mansion. Unlike the last club, Robin and the girls went to the male strip club side and Dean stayed with the guys on the female side. Dean was visibly uncomfortable thinking about Robin getting felt up by some male stripper.
"He better keep his dick away from her face!" Roman spit his drink out after hearing Dean's random drunken outburst.
"Dude, she's fine. You know you got her. She ain't goin nowhere!" Jimmy comforted Dean as he gritted his teeth with thoughts coursing through his mind of some stripper grinding on his wife. "You just gotta trust her, man. She's right on the other side of that wall." Dean laughed as he toasted Jimmy.
"I guess you're right. If Roman couldn't steal her from me, I guess I don't have to worry about some random stripper." All the guys stopped in their tracks and stared at Roman. Jimmy shook his head and Seth just covered his face. Roman clenched his jaw before swallowing the last of his drink. Everybody thought there was going to an altercation. Seth even sat on the edge of his seat in case he had to break things up.
"Shit…he's absolutely right!" Roman's smile returned and Dean laughed hysterically as all the other guys breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time there had been a clear sign that things were fully mended with Dean and Roman. They were back to joking with each other as usual.
After about an hour, the women came over to see the guys in the female strip club. They were fanning themselves and laughing so loud that the men heard them before they saw them.
"Hey ladies, how was the sausage fest?" Seth's remark made the guys laugh as he signaled for Liv to come sit on his lap. Robin already went to sit on Dean's lap and Naomi was on her way to Jimmy.
"We had a blast! Robin got some special treatment from King Samoa!" Robin reached over and slapped Naomi's arm for telling the guys about her encounter. Dean sat straight up and wrapped his arms around Robin.
"Uh, who the hell is King Samoa?" Dean playfully slapped Robin on the butt.
"King Samoa is the Samoan dancer that pulled Robin on stage." Olivia turned to Naomi and stuck her tongue out as they both teased Robin. Dean fell back in his chair and looked in Roman and the Usos direction.
"You damn Samoans strike again!" The group fell out in laughter before boarding the party bus and heading to their last stop for the night. About half way to Tryst Nightclub, Robin's phone rang. She didn't recognize the number, but she answered anyway.
"Hello? Robin? This is Pastor Washington's wife." Robin mimed for the group to be quiet and turn down the music.
"Yes, Sister Washington. Sorry for the commotion."
"Oh it's alright, dear. I just wanted to call you with the unfortunate news that Terrance won't be able to officiate your ceremony this weekend. He's in the hospital with a broken leg from a car accident. I'm so sorry to spring this on you so late, sweetheart."
"Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that about Pastor! Is he alright?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid he'll be off his feet for a while. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay Sister Washington. Thanks for calling and please give my best to Pastor." Robin hung up and felt like she'd been punched in the stomach. She wanted nothing but a speedy recovery for Pastor Washington, but her wedding rehearsal was in less than 24 hours and she had no officiant for the ceremony.
"Tweety, what's going on?" Dean was still a little tipsy, but alert enough to see Robin had been shake up.
"Pastor Washington is in the hospital and can't do the wedding! What are we gonna do?" Robin had the breakdown Olivia was waiting for her to have. Robin had been so tightly wound for the past few weeks that it was inevitable.
"Didn't you say Bret is coming to the wedding?" Cesaro carefully walked over to Robin and Dean as the party bus made its way up the strip. "You know he's an ordained minister." Dean's head snapped in Cesaro's direction.
"Are you serious? Anybody got Bret's number?" Dean tried his best to comfort Robin, but she was inconsolable.
"I can get it from Tyson. Hold on a second" Cesaro searched for Tyson Kidd's phone number in his cell phone.
"If you can't reach Tyson, I can call Natty." Naomi pulled out her phone and was in the ready position to call Natalya.
After several minutes of them making tipsy phone calls to people in all different time zones to reach Bret, they finally got his cell phone number and Dean called immediately.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bret. It's me Dean Ambrose. How you doing?" Dean tried his best to sound sober until he realized Bret sounded a little tipsy himself.
"I'm good, Ambrose! Congrats on the wedding!"
"Thanks man! That's actually what I'm calling about. Our Pastor can't make it and a little birdy told me that you're an ordained minister."
"Yes, I got ordained to officiate one of my nieces wedding a couple years ago. I'd love to help you guys out!" Dean sighed with relief and Robin started to smile.
"Thank you so much, Bret! I know its short notice, but the rehearsal and dinner is here in Vegas at the Bellagio tomorrow at 7." Dean could hear Bret talking to someone in the background.
"That actually shouldn't be problem. I'm in Reno for Comic Con and I should be able to leave here tomorrow in time to make the rehearsal."
"That's great, Bret. Thanks again!"
"Wait, Dean. I'm traveling with someone. I know I didn't rsvp to bring a guest, but they would be my ride. Is that okay?"
"Whatever you need, Bret! We'll see you tomorrow!" Dean hung up and announced things were back on track. They took another round of shots before getting out and dancing the night away at Tryst.
Somewhere around 3am, the group found their way back to the party bus. After grinding on the dance floor, Robin and Dean were all but having sex right there in the bus. Jimmy was whispering something in Naomi's ear and Liv was trying to keep her composure as she felt "Little Seth" poking her as she sat on his lap. Cesaro, Axel, Jey and Roman each met some girls at the club and invited them back to their rooms. Each couple was so consumed with the possibility of great sex that they didn't realize they had gotten back to the Bellagio.
"Well guys, I'll see you in the morning…or afternoon…whatever…" Dean quickly whisked Robin up to the Penthouse suite. The other guys dispersed to their rooms with their girls leaving Seth and Olivia standing in the lobby.
"You're welcome to come up to my room. I don't think Robin will be sleeping there tonight." Olivia and Seth laughed at the fact that Robin and Dean wanted to try to abstain from sex until their wedding night.
"Yeah, it's gonna be crowded in the penthouse tonight." Seth gestured for Liv to look at Roman leading his girl for the evening to the elevator.
Once they got up to Olivia's room, Seth seemed a little timid. Olivia slipped her blouse over her head and Seth just stared. There was a certain sadness in his eyes.
"You okay baby?" Olivia walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He was clearly aroused, but she could tell something was on his mind.
"I'm fine..." Seth kissed her walking her back to the bed and sat her down in front of him as he unzipped and dropped his pants. She couldn't help herself and before long she wrapped her lips around Seth's dick. His head fell back as she took every inch into her mouth. He knew he would have to slow things down if he didn't want to cum yet. So he pushed her back on the bed and unbuttoned her pants. He noticed she didn't have any underwear on. Seth smirked as he peeled the pants off of her and spread her legs. Noticing how wet she was, he slid up her body until he was in position to enter her. Olivia stared into Seth's eyes and noticed that something was different. He gently placed himself inside of her before she could ask any questions.
"Uhh…." Olivia moaned as Seth slowly reached the deepest parts of her only to slowly withdraw leaving her breathless each time. He wasn't talking or teasing her as he usually did. With gentle kisses on her neck while he slid in and out of her, Olivia felt tears coming to her eyes. His touch was passionate, but not in the way it had been before. Whatever emotion he was feeling had spread to Olivia and she couldn't fight the tears. Seth increased his speed and without any warning, he came all over her stomach and legs.
"I'm…I'm sorry. I should've warned you." Seth stood up to go get a towel and Olivia sat on the edge of the bed wiping her tears away. She wasn't sure what had come over her.
"Thank you." Seth handed Olivia the towel and sat next to her on the bed. He lifted his hand to her cheek to wipe her tears away, but appeared to be fighting back his own.
"Liv…"
"Why did that feel like goodbye, Seth?" He didn't answer right away because he didn't know how to deal with this situation.
"Liv, it was goodbye." Olivia turned to him in shock. "No, hear me out." Seth turned towards her and placed his hand on her thigh. "I know you love me, but I think if you're honest with yourself you'll see that it's not like you love Wade."
"I haven't chosen Wade yet!"
"Yes, you have, Liv. Shit, I can see it when you look at him or talk to him. You made your choice, but you're afraid to let me go for some reason." Olivia was crying like a baby. She really cared for Seth, but there was some truth to what he was saying.
"I didn't want to lose you." She brushed his cheek and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Liv, we'll always be cool, but I've seen a difference in you. You keep upping the ante sexually trying to get some type of satisfaction that you can't get from sex alone." He took her by the shoulders and looked into her eyes. "We have great sex, but you've never been the type that's only interested in great sex. Be honest with yourself, Liv!" Olivia started to cry again. She knew she was being honest with herself when she realized she'd do anything to feel the comfort of Wade's arms right now. She looked at Seth with wide eyes as if she'd just figured everything out.
"I'm so sorry Seth! God, I feel horrible!"
"No need to feel horrible, Liv. I've had time to prepare myself for this moment. I just want you to be happy." Seth kissed her on her forehead before putting his clothes back on. "I'm gonna take my chances sleeping in the penthouse tonight. I know you have someone that you need to have a long talk with." Seth winked at Liv before heading for the door.
Olivia thought the day she made her decision would be a sad day, but it turned out to be quite liberating. She went to her cell phone and quickly dialed Wade's number. As the phone rang for the 3rd time, she realized what time it was. It was 4am in Vegas and 7am in Charlotte where Wade was for a house show on Friday night.
"Well, good morning, Livy. This is a pleasant surprise." As she heard Wade's voice, she imagined his warm smile.
"Hi Wade…what's your schedule like after the house show tonight?"
"Umm…I was gonna go home until Monday unless I get a better offer." The inflection in his voice changed as Olivia could almost hear the broad smile spreading across his face.
"Well, I was going to see if you wanted to be my date for the wedding on Saturday."
"We talked about this, Livy. No more nights like your birthday!"
"No Seth…just you and me, Wade…from now on." Wade was quiet for a while and she checked to make sure he was still on the line. "Wade, you still there?"
"Oh I'm here. Just checking on red eye flights to Vegas." His laugh resonated in her ear and she felt warm. "I'll be there as soon as I can, Love."
"Take your time. I'm not going anywhere. I love you Wade."
"I love you too, Livy."
