Chapter 32 – Finding Amaya
Chocolate brown eyes looked around the empty hotel room. "Shit." His eyes went to the foot of the bed where his things had been folded and placed on the end of the bed with his suitcase; he'd left it behind last night because he didn't want to stay and agitate Amaya more than she already was. Seth pulled his phone out and checked the airport – they were allowed to tell him Amaya Walker caught a flight out of Iowa the night before, but couldn't tell him where she'd gone.
But he already knew where she went. She went home.
Seth yanked the hat off his head and threw it across the room before he shoved the suitcase off the bed and shoved his first through the nearest wall. Seth leaned against the wall after he punched a hole in it and smacked his head against it a couple of times before he slid down until his ass met the floor. Seth pulled the rubber band from his hair as he ran his fingers through his hair; already knowing what he had to do. Sighing heavily he leaned over and grabbed his cell phone from the floor where he'd dropped it before he had his tantrum; scrolling through his contacts. Licking his suddenly dry lips he found the name he was looking for; Roman Reigns and pressed send.
Roman had been enjoying his two days off with his family in Pensacola; Zaria and Dean had come with him and the trio was being spoiled heavily by Roman's mom and dad. Roman was soaked from head to toe as he had emerged from the pool in the back yard of his parent's house. They were having a huge family BBQ in a few hours, but before that Dean, Zaria and Roman were just enjoying the Florida sun and the intake of Vitamin D. Roman was laying on a lounge chair in the soft grass as he chuckled and watched as Dean threw Zaria around the pool and she would retaliate by shoving his ass under water.
Roman was pulled from the hilarious scene in front of him as his cell started ringing. He died his hands, face and toweled the water from his hair before he reached over and saw the caller id. "Hey bro how's the reunion?"
Seth sighed heavily as he ran his hand through his hair once more. "It was fuckin great until I…" He couldn't do it. He HAD to tell Roman but he wasn't sure if he was really prepared for the blow back of what he was about to confess to his best friend and a man he considered a brother.
"Until you what?" Roman asked. "Until you what?" Roman asked again as he sat up and looked at Dean and Zaria and waved his hand at them to quiet down. Roman didn't receive any answer to his questions. He stood from the lounge chair. "Seth what happened?" Roman asked as his voice deepened.
"Shit…" Seth cursed. "Bro I fucked up. I fucked up big time and I don't know if it can be fixed and I wouldn't even know where to begin if it could be fixed and what's worse is…Amaya's missing."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN AMAYA IS MISSING?" Roman roared. "When did she go missing?" Roman tried calming himself down as he watched Zaria and Dean pull themselves from the pool and come over and stood in front of him.
"Where's Amaya Roman?" Zaria asked with a worried look on her face. She watched as Roman held up his finger as he listened intently on the phone.
"I've venture to say she went missing 3 seconds after I left her at the hotel last night; by herself." Seth stated as he closed his eyes.
"What happened last night Seth? Why would you leave her at the hotel by herself?" Roman asked. "Bro just tell me what happened."
Seth sighed heavily as he stood from the floor and ran his hand down his jean covered thigh before running his hand through his hair again. "We – we were in bed – together; ya know?" He knew Roman was going to hit the roof when he told him what he'd done. "W-well – I-I-I sort of…What I mean is…I called out someone else's name when I; ya know? I sort of called out Amyra's name." He felt his heart fall into his stomach as he finally got his full confession out. Silence filled the phone. "Roman, are you still there bro? Did you hear what I said?"
Roman's eyes were closed as he processed everything Seth had just said. He licked his dry lips before he rolled them together. "Let me just make sure I have this right…You and Amaya were in bed and together – in the most intimate way anyone could be; both completely vulnerable to everything and you called out Amaya's sister's name in the heat of the moment?"
"In a nut shell…Yes." Seth answered quietly.
Dean's eyes widened as he heard Roman repeat what Seth had told him. "WHAT?" Dean's grey/blue eyes were suddenly a bright fiery blue. His temper was slowly skyrocketing and soon it would be completely out of control.
Zaria looked at Dean and could see his chest rising and falling and his hands were slightly shaking. He was getting ready to explode. Zaria cupped his cheeks as she pulled his face down until his eyes snapped to her and locked with her emerald ones. "Come back to me right now."
Dean blinked a few times as he slowly nodded and calmed himself down. He was going to punch a hole in Seth's head; literally. But for now it would have to wait. He pulled Zaria against him as he buried his face in her neck.
Roman shook his head. "I know she wouldn't dare answer the phone for you, but did you at least try to call her?" Roman asked as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"About a thousand times; she's definitely not in Iowa either. The Delta Airlines confirmed she flew out last night, but couldn't tell me where." Seth sighed. "You know she's at home right. Remember she once told us when she gets hard she goes home? She loves her house in St. Andrews Bay Florida because not a lot of people know where she physically lives."
Roman looked at Dean and Zaria. "Hey guys get dressed, were taking a road trip."
"Do you think I should fly back and meet you guys there?" Seth asked as he slumped onto the foot of the hotel bed.
Roman stifled a growl. "Do you think that's a wise idea? If she came back to Florida it certainly wasn't to have her boyfriend follow her after he yelled out another woman's name during sex." Roman snapped out angrily. "Seth keep your narrow behind in Iowa and I will see you on the road Friday and hopefully by then I can get Amaya to talk to you so you can try to explain to her the reasoning behind your idiotic actions." Roman pushed the end button on his cell.
Roman looked at Zaria and Dean. "C'mon let's get showered and dressed. St. Andrews Bay is about 2 hours from here." He handed Zaria his phone. "Try calling Amaya from my phone a couple of times, you know she's going to answer to then call from yours a couple of times and then Dean's; then started over. We need to get her to just answer one of the phones. I need to know she's physically ok."
Thirty minutes later, all three were showered and dressed and headed to St. Andrews Bay. Normally it took a couple of hours to get there, Roman driving because he was worried about Amaya and pissed off at Seth; the drive took an hour and fifteen minutes. Roman pulled into Amaya's driveway and saw her red Toyota RAV4 sitting there and knew automatically she was home. All the curtains were pulled and the house was pitch black, but if her car was there she was there.
Zaria frowned as she saw how dark the house was from the outside and it was barely 3pm. She couldn't imagine how truly dark it was inside. The three-some walked up onto the porch and tried the door and started trying to see if they could look through the window in the cracks in the curtains to see Amaya, but no such luck. "How are we going to get inside if she's got the damn place locked down like Fort Knox?" Zaria asked.
Roman smiled as he pulled a key from his pocket. "I've had a key to her place for a while, just as she has one to mine and one to Seth's…Well she might still have one to Seth's if she didn't sell it on Craigslist to a fangirl." Roman chuckled as he unlocked the front door. "Guess we'll find out the next time he goes home."
Dean chuckled as he took Zaria's hand and they all walked into the house. "Let's get this place opened open and get some light in here. All this darkness isn't healthy."
Roman tapped Dean's shoulder with his fist. "Thanks man. I'm going to go see if she's upstairs." Roman turned to the stairs and took them two at a time as he watched the house slowly come alive as the curtains downstairs were all pulled open to let the light in. His grey eyes looked around upstairs a little as he tried to see if he could hear her in any particular room, but knew where she would be.
Roman turned the door knob to her room and pushed the door open as soon as he opened the door he could hear sniffling and his heart started breaking. He felt along the wall and flipped the light on because the room was so dark he couldn't see shit. He stepped in and instead of her lying in bed where he figured she would be was empty. A frown marred his face as he looked over and saw the closet door was open. He walked over and as he looked down he could see a pillow and blanket on the ground and bare feet attached to jean covered legs.
Roman walked closer as he squatted down moved under the dozens and dozens of clothes to get to the back wall. Who knew her closet was gigantic? Roman shook his head as he finally got to her; she was only 5 feet from the outside world but all her clothes were a pain in the ass. He sat next to her with his back against the wall. He wasn't sure if he should touch her. She had her knees in her chest and her face buried between her knees; heart wrench sobs escaped her.
"Please tell me Seth was the only one fantasizing about fuckin my sister while fucking me?" Amaya sobbed out. She knew it was Roman she could smell his cologne.
Roman's heart fell into his stomach and then out of his ass. "Amaya…I don't fuck you." He stated softly. "I have never fucked you." Roman shook his head as he looked down at her. "If we were ever together and I made you feel like I was just fucking you that was never my intention. I make love to you or we have sex; it just depends on how we feel in the moment." Roman noticed she wasn't looked at him and he reached over and lifted her chin so her bloodshot aqua eyes locked with his. "I've never fantasized about being with anyone but you; I don't need to fantasize about anyone when I have you and you're all I need."
Amaya frowned as more tears cascaded down her cheeks. "But then…Why would S-S-Seth…" She couldn't even finish the question the words died on her lips as she covered her mouth and lowered her head as she began to sob again.
Roman was officially going to kill Seth. He moved closer to Amaya as he wrapped his arms around her; feeling her small body trembling against his as she leaned against him and buried her face in his t-shirt covered chest. Roman kissed the top of her head as he softly ran his fingers through her caramel colored tresses. His heart broke with every sob.
Dean watched as Zaria was cleaning up the living a little bit as he went around opening the curtains and windows getting fresh air in the house. It didn't stink or anything it just smelled like Amaya. It smelled like Sunflowers her favorite perfume. His eyes followed Zaria as she walked into the kitchen. There was really nothing in there to clean up. There were no dirty dishes in the sink but she had some empty Chinese food containers on the counters, which Dean stacked inside of one another before throwing them away and watching as Zaria wiped and dried the counter tops.
Zaria smiled as she felt Dean's hands on her hips. He turned her around and kissed her lips softly. "Not that I'm complaining or anything, but what was that for?"
Dean smirked as he lifted her up and set her on the counter so she'd be eye level with him. "I'm glad you're not complaining, because I enjoy kissing you whenever I want." Dean sighed softly. "Look I need to tell you something and after everything that's happened today; right now seems like the perfect time."
Zaria cocked her head to the side. "What do you mean after everything that happened?" She asked curiously.
Dean shook his head. "All this bullshit with Seth…When those guys started talking about asking Amaya to be in a three-way relationship with them I told them the number one rule was to not hurt her and they'd been doing a great job up until last night clearly. I want to strangle Seth right now for hurting her. She's like a sister I never had in my life. I can't even begin to imagine what Roman will do when he sees Seth again on Friday for the weekend house shows. I have a feeling it's going to be bad." He raised his hand as he pushed some hair from Zaria's face.
Zaria frowned. "I can only imagine what it feels like to be in the throes of passion and have the man you're with not only climax and yell someone else's name but your sister's name. I can't imagine it ever happening to anyone; men or women. That would just be heart breaking."
Dean nodded. "I'll agree with you on that. But Amaya is with the one person who can help her heart ache right now. Roman is in love with her. He has been for a while; he just hasn't been able to tell her or admit his feelings to her. If anyone can make her feel better it's going to be him."
Zaria smiled softly. "I didn't know he was in love with her." She ran her fingertips through his dishwater blonde hair. "What did you want to tell me babe?" She asked suddenly remembering he had something to tell her.
Dean cupped her cheeks as his thumbs caressed her cheek bones softly and then caressed her beautiful red lips. "I wanted to make sure I tell you this before you ever think that what happened to Amaya will happen to you, because it won't. I know I've got my temper and sometimes I'm hard for you to read but I want to make one thing perfectly clear to you Zaria. I love you. I love everything about you. I fell in love with you the night you dumped Pepsi over my head. You had zero fear of me and well – you just didn't give a fuck and I loved that. Hell I even loved it when you punched out Rebecca. No one's ever defended me like that before."
"You love me?" Zaria asked astonished.
"Yes I do. I know it's taken me a while to tell you how I feel." Dean confessed.
"I love you too Dean." Zaria smiled as she cupped his face and kissed him breathless. "And believe me it was so worth the wait." She couldn't help kissing the oxygen out of his lungs once more.
Meanwhile, upstairs; Roman looked down at Amaya; she looked lost and unsure. "How about a bath? It will make you feel better and help you relax." He watched as she just nodded slowly. Roman moved around and crawled out of the closet and watched as she scooted out on her rear. Once she cleared the clothing, Roman scooped her into his arms and lifted her up as he stood up. He felt her arms tighten around his shoulders as she buried her face in the side of his neck. "I got you beautiful; I got you. We're going to have you feeling better soon. I promise."
Roman wasn't sure how much of that promise was going to come true, but at this point he would do anything to help ease the pain.
