It's the Wednesday that I was supposed to meet the men that I was about to be tied to for the rest of my life and where was I. Was I being a normal 24 almost 25 year old and at the salon getting my hair done, or maybe trying to match a dress to go with the shoes that I love wanting to make a good impression on the men, or I could be doing what I am doing. Sitting in the back of my store working on a project for a client.
I was in a very time sensitive part of the project when Marie yelled for me. "Sera your men are here."
I rolled my eyes. Of course they would show up at the most inopportune time, it is just my luck. "I'm kind of busy here Marie. Can you bring them back here, but I want you to be careful."
"Okay." I could hear the mumbling of deep voices that I assumed were the men I was getting tied to, and Marie's small footsteps.
As they got closer I started pouring the molten steel that I was working with. I looked up from the mold to see the three men that made up WWE's The Shield staring at me over the small body of my best friend. I looked back down and got all of the steel in mold by shaking the crucible slightly. Using the tongs I put the crucible onto the heat resistance surface and pulled off my gloves. I looked at them to see them eyeing me. I probably wasn't what they were expecting.
I walked towards them but veered off to grab Marie. "Did you get lunch yet?" I asked her, looking over her shoulder into the empty store front. She shook her head no. "Well go get some lunch, I've got this."
"Are you sure, Sera?" She asked me but started to move backwards slightly.
"I'm sure," I answered and watched her move quickly through the store to the front door.
I turned my attention back to the men in front of me. I looked cool on the outside but inside I was nervous as all hell. I turned to grab a tube of polish and two cloths and moved to a table. I grabbed a set of short swords and pulled them from their sheaths before sitting down. I looked back up to the men that hadn't moved or spoken since they saw me. I let a slight smirk grace my lips as I popped the top off of the polish and put some on the cloth. The top fell to the floor and I decided to pick it up later. I pulled the hilt of one of my swords to me and started to polish it. Starting from the guard and moving towards the tip.
As I spread the polish a tanned hand came up with the cap that had fallen to the floor. I followed the hand and saw that it belonged to The Architect Seth Rollins. "I believe you dropped this." He gave me a sly smile. One I'm sure could have made any girl drop her panties. Well any other girl.
I lightly took the cap, making sure our fingers didn't touch. "Thanks."
"So how is this going to work?" I smoothed some of the already applied polish away and checked the shine. As Dean asked his question he stepped forward and leaned on the table by me.
I kept my eyes on my work and answered him. "I was hoping that you would be able to tell me." I smoothed the clothe all the way down the sword before flipping it to polish the other side.
"We don't know." My eyes cut to Roman as he spoke. "We were hoping that you would have some idea, looking around I get the feeling that you aren't open to moving." He cracked a smile.
"Not particularly," I answered him as I finished my one sword and put it back in its scabbard.
"How about we start by getting to know each other." Seth took up position next to Dean and Roman walked closer landing on the other side of Seth. "Let's start with our real names, I'm Colby Lopez." He reached his hand out and I took it shook his. "Hermosa." He smiled.
"Alright man, stop being the latin lover. I'm Jon Good." Dean reached over with a smile that showed his dimples and took my hand from Colby. "But I do agree with Colb you are pretty beautiful."
A large tanned hand quickly pulled mine from Jon's. "I'm Leati Anoa'i, but I go by Joe." My hand was pulled to his mouth and kissed the back of it.
"Okay Joe is worse than you Colby." Jon grabbed my hand and practically ripped it away from Joe.
"Now boys there is no need to fight over me." I pulled my hand away from all of the men and went back to polishing my remaining sword. "I'm Serafina Angeli, I shorten it to Sera." I looked at them as I heard footsteps come signaling that Marie had come back from lunch.
The footsteps stopped. Joe looked at me and smiled. "Serafina would you go out to dinner with us?"
