Chapter 13

Jon looked down, feeling Bianca nudge him slightly in his side with his hand wrapped around his upper arm. They had to keep the charade up since Roman –his real name was Joseph Anoa'i- was rejoining them on the road. Joe had to believe nothing had changed over the past two days. Once they got to the arena that night, Jon would send the girls into the bathroom to change and then come clean to Joe about what they did. Glancing over at Seth, Jon noticed the way the man stared down at Kavari with their fingers laced together and her head resting on his arm. Something definitely happened on their days off between those two. Seth was waiting to come clean about what his birth name was, though Jon wasn't sure why, but the two-toned haired man had his own reasons.

It was hard to be mean to Jon, especially after the two days off with him. He really was quite the character and a sweetheart. Jon had told her what Roman and Seth's birth names were too, so she no longer associated them with their wrestling names. Bianca couldn't remember the last time she had so much fun with a man, not even with Myron. She baked mostly the two days away and they currently had a few dozen cookies, cupcakes and muffins in a huge bag in the back of the SUV. Bianca slowly looked up at him while Roman drove, both of them sitting in the far back while Seth and Kavari were in the front and gave a small nod when he looked back at her. Something was developing between them, Bianca could feel it, but she couldn't betray Myron by being with another man. It couldn't happen.

Kavari couldn't believe how great her two days off with Seth were. They'd taken each other to the edge of ecstasy more than a few times. Most of their time was spent naked, having sex anywhere they could and that included the beach behind his condo. It was at night where there were no prying eyes. Currently, they waited for Roman's flight to land from Pensacola and they all would board a plane to head to the next area for the house shows. Kavari noticed Dean holding onto Bianca's arm and she still looked irate, quite surprised they hadn't killed each other. She half-wished her and Seth could've gone to Tennessee because it would've been nice to show him where she grew up. Snapping out of her thoughts, Kavari looked up and saw Roman coming towards them, lowering her eyes to the ground and jumped slightly when he growled. Before long, they all boarded the plane to head to the house shows, no one really speaking since they were all deep in thought.

A few hours later, they arrived at the arena and Seth was a bundle of nerves, helping Kavari out of the SUV rental. He ignored the way Roman glared at him and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, meaning what he said. Everything was going to change now that she was his. He would protect her with everything inside of him. The thing that made him feel sick about this whole situation was Seth was keeping a deep secret from Kavari, one that could potentially rip her away from him in the blink of an eye. He wasn't sure if he could even come clean with her, the worry clear in his eyes. Jon had already come clean with Bianca, though they were putting an act on for Roman since the big man didn't have a clue she knew the truth. What the hell was Seth going to do? He had to talk to his boys immediately.

"Both of you go change." He requested gently, kissing the top of Kavari's head.

Bianca glared at Jon when he shoved her toward the bathroom door and stalked inside with the bag of clothes in hand he shoved into her arms, the door closing behind her and Kavari moments later. Jon had serious issues with trying to be mean to her. He drug her through the arena and into the Shield's locker room, instantly letting go of her arm almost as if she'd burned his hand.

"Go get dressed, damn it. We're not going to fucking wait on you two tonight." He sneered out and turned to face his comrades. It was time for a Shield meeting.

Roman's dark grey eyes watched as the girls disappeared into the bathroom before his head snapped around. "Someone want to tell me what the FUCK is going on? We leave for our two days off and I come back and you're playing suck and fuck with Jacobs' daughter. I thought we agreed fucking her was fine but anything else was out of the question and anything else seems to be what's really going on." He couldn't believe Seth veered from the plan; they were so beyond screwed if they didn't keep the plan going. "Do you know how fucked we are if Vince finds out you're a little more than FRIENDLY with her?"

"Ambrose spilled the beans." Seth blurted out, folding his arms in front of his chest and watched as Roman's eyes moved to where the other man stood. "He came clean to Bianca about everything and I guess the woman has a plan." He spoke quietly, lowering his eyes to the floor and scuffed his shoe against the concrete floor. "And I had sex with Kavari. I couldn't help it, bro. I'm falling in love with her and she doesn't even know the real reason why we abducted her. Bianca does, but she promised to let me tell Kavari the truth…about everything."

Roman was trying very hard not to lose his temper and cracked his neck, glaring spitefully at Dean. "What do you mean everything? The whole fucking thing? Jesus Christ Colby, get your head out of your fucking ass and realize that we're FUCKED if we don't go through with this plan!"

Jon could FEEL Joe's stormy grey eyes boring into him as soon as Colby came clean, clearing his throat. "Look man, we all know what's at stake and you know how I am. I couldn't do it anymore though. I head-butted a woman for Christ sakes! I could've seriously hurt her. Dean Ambrose might not give a shit about women, but I am not my fucking wrestling character outside of that damn ring! Jon Good is who I am. I'm a fucking human being like the two of you. Is it a crime for Colby to fall in love with Kavari? No, clearly it wasn't the smartest thing to do at this particular moment, but we're all human beings. We are not infallible." He suddenly thought back to Bianca's horrible story of how she'd lost her husband way too early in life, his heart clenching with pain for her. "Bianca is in mourning for a husband she lost 5 years ago and Kavari is a cancer survivor." Colby had filled him in about that as well over the phone during their two days off when he called in to check on them. "You can't tell me what she said to you the other night didn't bother you either because it damn sure bothered me. And I know it killed Colby since he knows the whole story. I just couldn't do it anymore. 4 days was 4 days too many. Bianca has a plan and it's a damn good one. Let's get through tonight so Colby can come clean to Kavari and Bianca can explain the plan."

"Who's Colby and what exactly does he have to come clean to me about?" All of their heads snapped around, wide eyes staring at both a perplexed Kavari and a resigned Bianca.

Bianca had heard all of that as well as Kavari, sky blue eyes wide and could feel the tension thicken in the air. "Kavari…"

"Fuck." Colby cursed, muttering and knew they had to come clean with the truth now. There was no more waiting or stalling. "I got it, Bianca." He said, watching as the woman stepped back and could see the confusion in Kavari's eyes. Goddamn, this was going to be hard for her to hear, but Colby had no choice. "I'm Colby." He watched her eyes nearly fall out of her head from how wide they got and reached out to touch her, but Kavari immediately recoiled. "Listen to me, Kavari, please. Just hear me out. Bianca knows the truth, Jon told her during the 2 days off and now it's time for you to hear it. I wanted to tell you, but at the same time I was selfish and didn't want to ruin our 2 days off together." He took a deep shaky breath, hoping she didn't completely freak out because then Vince would know the women were onto their plan. "The abduction wasn't our idea. It came from the CEO of this company – Vince McMahon and Bianca's brother, Bryan Danielson. It was their idea because Vince wanted some serious heat on the Shield and Bryan wanted to force his sister out into the world again. She's been isolating herself for the past 5 years mourning and apparently he had enough of it. So they came up with this damn plan and threatened our careers and everything. They were going to send us back to NXT and disband the Shield if we didn't go through with the abduction. We also couldn't tell you what happened either, not until we were told we could. We had to make it look 'real', which is why we were abusive toward the both of you. You have no idea how sickened we are by this, but…this is our dream to be in the WWE and it was about to be ripped away if we didn't do what the boss said."

"We have a plan though, one that I hope you go through with." Bianca cut in, chewing her bottom lip and could feel Jon's hand on her shoulder, not shrugging him off like she normally would've. "And it starts tonight."

Kavari instantly backed away from Seth – Colby – whoever he was, frowning deeply. Did she just hear him right? Did she really have sex with a man and didn't even know his REAL name?! "The whole time…" The unnecessary jerking around of their bodies and bruising from top to bottom, her sprained wrist. Kavari lowered her eyes to it, feeling sick to her stomach as the harsh realization crashed over her. "Do whatever you have to do to get me home." Blinking, huge tears slid down her cheeks as Kavari stumbled back from the group, swallowing hard. "Excuse me…" She ran into the bathroom and locked the door, wanting to be left completely alone.

"Well that didn't go quite as planned." Jon muttered, sweeping his eyes over the group and finally looked down at Bianca. "Think she'll keep up with the façade?"

"You heard her. She said 'do whatever you have to do to get me home'. And I agree with her. I'll do whatever necessary to get home as well." Bianca stepped away from Jon, wrapping her arms around herself, wearing her Shield gear and felt tears sting her eyes. "My brother is going to pay for once again sticking his nose in my life and trying to dictate it the way he wants. He's going to pay for everything he's done to us along with your boss."

She'd already had a long discussion with Linda McMahon over the phone and through Skype, explaining the entire situation with Jon's help. He was her witness so the lady didn't think she was insane. Jon came clean about everything to the older woman and all she said was it would be taken care of.

"So you need to push your feelings aside for Kavari, Colby, because if this is going to work, everyone needs to be on their absolute BEST game." A knock on the door made everyone turn their heads as Tiffany, the WWE's makeup artist, stepped inside.

"You ready for this?" Tiffany asked, raising a brow at the rest of the Shield. "Don't worry, I won't say a word to anyone about this."

"Let's do it." Bianca sat down on the couch and closed her eyes while Tiffany got to work on making her look 'roughed' up. Moxley did have a solid brain after all in that thick skull of his.

Colby could only lower his head and felt sick to his stomach much like Kavari did, knowing he fucked up. He messed everything up with her and there was no fixing it. She had sex with a man she didn't know because Colby had made her believe his real name was Seth Rollins. It was Colby Lopez and he was originally from Davenport, IA. He had a family, friends and colleagues, a life outside of the WWE and the Shield. Though he did consider Jon and Joe his brothers.

"What have I done?" He whispered, sliding down the wall and put his head in his hands, drawing his knees up.

Joe looked around the room and saw Colby sitting against the wall furthest away from everyone. He shrugged his tactical vest on and zipped it up and got it velcroed in all the right places before he walked over and slid down the wall to sit next to his best friend; a man he considered to be a brother more than anything else in the world. He could tell he was hurting. It didn't take a genius.

"Look bro, maybe once all this shit is settled you can try talking to her. Go to Tennessee and sweep her off her feet. Introduce her to Colby Lopez, take her some Indy videos and show her how you worked your ass off to get here. But don't forget to say you're sorry."

All Colby could do was nod, hoping Joe was right.

Jon watched in wonder as Tiffany worked her magic and made it look as though he'd gone postal on Bianca. She looked jacked up and needed to be hospitalized. Jon frowned, even though it was makeup, it still looked painful to him. He couldn't imagine ever laying a hand on this woman again, not after the head-butt incident. It still sickened him that he actually rammed his hard head into hers. Once this all ended, Jon planned on going to pay her a visit in Aberdeen, Washington and knock on the front door instead of breaking and entering. Until then, he had to get his head in the game because tonight had to be believable.

"Okay you guys, let's get going."

Kavari literally couldn't bring herself to say a word to anyone. It wasn't that she tried being rude, she just had to keep to herself at the moment. When they all fell in line, Bianca and Jon leading the way with Joe behind her, Colby started snaking his arm around her waist out of habit and she pushed him away.

"Please don't touch me." She whispered, not trusting her voice at the moment as they all continued up the stairs to make an entrance.

"I have to, I'm sorry." Colby whispered solemnly, meaning that more than anything and felt her tense against him, hating it.

It killed him feeling Kavari cringe at his touch when just two days ago, she'd been writhing beneath him while he made love to her. He really did screw this up. Colby watched as Jon wrapped an arm around Bianca's waist. He literally could NOT look at Bianca's face without blowing chunks because of how REAL the makeup looked.
