'I love you too."
That's all that was on her mind when she woke up the next morning with Seth's arms around wrapped around her. She kissed his cheek and got up, grabbing some clothes and heading to the bathroom. She turned on the water and undressed, looking at the bruises that were forming. They weren't as bad as she thought they would be, but they were still pretty ugly. She brushed her teeth and gently washed her face, frowning at how many cuts she saw. She stepped in the shower and did her usual routine of washing her hair, exfoliating, and shaving. When she got out she applied her favorite vanilla scented lotion all over her body, and sprayed some shiny body mist all over her chest and neck. She blow dried her hair, straightening it after. She applied a heavy amount of makeup to conceal all the little cuts on her face. She changed into a baby pink v-neck and some white shorts. She stepped out of the bathroom and into the kitchen, noticing Dean already there.
"Hey." She smiled.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm fine… do you want me to make you anything?" She asked.
"Nah, I'm good. Thanks though."
"Mhm." She grabbed a cup and poured herself some orange juice.
"So what was all the noise last night?" He looked at her.
"Oh, yeah, um, I started my period so I'm not pregnant." She stared at his confused reaction.
"That's possible?"
"Yes." Why did they all think that wasn't possible?
"Oh, are you happy?" He asked.
"Yes and no. I was excited to be a mommy but I'm not ready."
Just then they both heard a knock at the door and Alena looked at Dean before he shrugged. She got up and was walking towards the door until Dean grabbed her by the waist and turned her around.
"Don't ever open the door yourself. " He looked into her eyes and she just nodded.
Dean walked over to the door and opened it, his eyes going wide when he saw who it was. Alena stood behind Dean and stared at the petite blonde girl.
"Barbie, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"None of your business, Dean. Where's Seth?" She asked, stepping forward.
"And that's none of your business. You need to leave." Alena noticed how he was getting irritated.
"Not until I see Sethie." She placed her hands on her hips. "Is that your new bitch?" She asked, pointing at Alena.
"Who are you calling a bitch?" Alena stepped forward, standing in front of Dean.
"Wow Dean, you picked a feisty one." She smiled.
Just as Alena was about to reply, she noticed Barbie push past her and run up to Seth who just entered the living room, cupping his face and pulling him in for a kiss. Alena looked at Dean and he was shaking his head at the scene in front of him, sighing.
"Barbie, what are you doing here?" Seth asked.
"I'm back so we can be together again." She smiled.
"I'm not looking for that right now, Barbs." He shook his head.
"Listen, I have to get going but you should call me." She handed him a paper with her number on it and kissed his cheek.
Seth's eyes met Alena's and he noticed how she was just looking on, hurt. What if he still has feelings for her? Alena sighed, realizing she made a mistake falling for him. Not that you choose who you fall for. She closed the door and walked back to the kitchen, finishing her orange juice.
She wanted to ask Seth so many questions about this Barbie bitch, but they weren't together and so she just ignored the feeling. She put on her black converse and took Seth's car keys, heading out. She went to the office, since she hadn't seen them in a while. She pulled up to the parking lot, sighing. She was a mess right now. She opened the door and walked in. They were all eating and talking, their eyes shifting to Alena when she walked in.
"Hey baby." She smiled and walked over to Randy, kissing his cheek.
"Paul!" She smiled and walked over to him, giving him a big hug.
"Dave." She walked over to him and gave him a hug too.
She sat down next to them, taking a fry from Randy and eating it. Paul looked at her for a few minutes before he finally spoke up.
"Alena, why is your arm bruised?" He asked.
Dave got up and grabbed his car keys. "Guys, I have to go." He smiled.
"Bye." The three said, before Paul went back to the conversation.
"I got attacked the other day." She shrugged.
"What!?" Randy spit out his water. "And you didn't tell me!?"
"Babe, I didn't want to worry you. They took care of me." She sighed.
"Who do you think it was?" Paul asked.
"I don't know, not one clue. It was probably a friend of someone we caught before this case."
"Don't you think I want to take care of MY girlfriend? And not those fuckers." He rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I know. I'm sorry." She looked at her feet.
"Randy, now's not the time." Paul looked at him.
"I'm going to head out you guys." She got up and walked over to Randy, kissing him.
"Love you." She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Bye, Paul!" She smiled and hugged him, before heading out.
When she got back to the house, she realized Seth was gone.
"Roman, where's Seth?" She asked.
"Don't know, he asked to take my car. Probably went out." He told her.
She just nodded. What if he was with Barbie? She sighed when she thought about him still having feelings for her. She just wanted to cuddle with Roman and ignore everything.
Roman walked over to her and threw her over his shoulder, holding her legs tightly and walking to his room.
"Roman!" She giggled. "Put me down!"
He gently laid her down on the bed and lay down next to her, pulling her close.
"What's up?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" She ran her hand up and down his chest.
"Why are you so down? I'm not stupid, Alena." He laughed.
"I- I, don't know."
"This is about Seth." Alena sighed. He already knew.
"Yeah, I love him, a lot." She felt her eyes watering.
"I can tell." He sighed.
"What's with him and Barbie?" She asked.
"His ex. They were very serious. Seth never mentioned what happened, but he really loved her. Listen, I don't know if he still has feelings for her, but he cares a lot about you. Just don't rush anything, whatever happens, happens. Okay?" He told her.
She just nodded and wiped a tear.
"Whatever makes him happy." She sighed.
