Chapter 2 – Pig Pen
Kira swung her back pack over her shoulder as she grabbed her keys and pushed her cell phone into her back pocket. She locked her apartment door and walked out to her Toyota Corolla. She stopped and got cleaning supplies and then headed to the address Momma Patty had written down for her. She pulled up to the house with the huge half circle driveway and followed the concert around to the side of the house where the key would unlock the door and send her into the kitchen where the alarm disbarment keypad was. She kicked off her flip flops and padded around the cherry hardwood floors.
She unlocked the door and heard the alarm beeping as she walked over and punched in the code and heard it chirp. Apparently that was a happy chirp because it went silent. She set her backpack on the kitchen counter as she walked around and looked a little. Nice dirty dishes in the sink, on the kitchen island and the kitchen table. The living room was a disaster water bottles; full, half empty and empty. A few open potato chip bags. Several energy bars and granola bar wrappers. Not to mention the X-box gaming console that was sitting in the middle of the floor in front of the wall to wall entertainment system game controllers and tons of games sitting all over the place. This was just part of the downstairs.
Kira shrugged as she trekked upstairs and went to the master bedroom and was not really shocked to see clothes all over the place; socks, underwear, jeans, t-shirts, USED workout clothes. "That would explain the smell." She mumbled as she walked over and opened the windows letting fresh air into the huge two story home. She really didn't treasure going into the bathroom but went ahead anyways. Shaving cream, tooth paste USED mouthwash and facial hair all lined the sink basin. The mirror was filthy and tub wasn't any better and the shower was disgusting with mold growing in it.
Kira shook her head as she grabbed a laundry basket and started filling it. She really wasn't surprised when she had to go empty it in the laundry room 4 times before she had it all gathered and sorted into piles. Once she got the first load started she took all the cleaning supplies upstairs and started. Crazy enough the master bathroom took little time; even with the mold in the shower. God bless Tilex mold and mildew remover. Once she was done a febreeze air freshener was placed on the sink.
It was already starting to smell better than it had when she first initially walked into the house.
The second bathroom upstairs was fairly clean so she gave everything a once over and set out a febreeze air freshener on the back of the toilet. Once she finished with that she went downstairs and did the 3rd bathroom next to the workout/library and the 4th bathroom off the kitchen.
Once the bathrooms were finished Kira went back up and stripped the bed in the master bedroom and squealed in disgust when she stepped on a used condom sitting on the floor – NEXT TO THE TRASH CAN!
Hopping on one foot to the bathroom Kira sat on the edge of the tub and washed both of her bare feet before drying them and returning back to the bedroom.
She made a face as she reached down and picked up the offending item and tossed it into a Ziploc bag. Thank God for rubbed gloves. She swept the entire room and was even more disgusted by the 3 OTHER used condoms she'd found on the floor around the bed. Like those were going to protect his bed from getting something; at least he was smart enough to protect himself. Jesus Christ what if Momma Patty had found those?
If she ever met this man she was going to sling shot the used condoms at his fat head.
Once she swept the entire upstairs she Swiffer mopped every room. "Oh yea, it's definitely smelling better already." She finished off as she Swiffer mopped the stairs as well. God who the hell buys a house with all wood floors and doesn't clean them?
Roman 'Fuckin' Reigns; that's who.
Once she got to the living room she started putting all the games back in their cases and actually alphabetized them on the entertainment center as well as putting the game console back with its controllers, threw all the garbage in a bag and dusted everything before she even cleaned the black leather couches and reclining chairs and Windexed the glass coffee tables and two glass end tables.
The workout room/library was next and yes she even alphabetized his DVD collection and cleaned off every piece of work out equipment. She noticed the large weights on the barbell and saw he had over 400 lbs on the bar. "Jesus Christ, who is this guy; King Kong?" She asked nobody in particular.
Kira moved into the kitchen as she cleared the dishes from the sink into the dishwasher and started the full load, then cleaned the oven and stove top as she went into the laundry room and started a second load after putting the first in the dryer. She swept the entire downstairs and then Swiffer mopped it as well.
Kira stopped in front of the fridge and saw a small manila envelope clipped to a magnet. She opened it and there were 6 hundred dollar bills with a note.
'Get whatever you think the house needs.' ~Momma Patty
Kira nodded as she grabbed a note pad and opened the fridge. It had been recently cleaned; the only items in the fridge was a gallon of milk about a thousand years PAST its expiration date, forty bottles of Arrowhead water and Tupperware full of meals that Momma Patty clearly supplied her baby boy with. "Wow the one thing in this house that doesn't need cleaning is the fridge. Whatever." Kira exclaimed as she started writing down a grocery list and moved to the huge walk in pantry which was empty except for a sleeve of Ritz crackers and a box of honey nut Cheerios. She really hoped he wasn't using the milk in the fridge to eat those Cheerios with.
She folded the first load of laundry and placed the second load in the dryer. She started the third load and would stop by and shove it into the dryer before she did the shopping tomorrow. She walked upstairs and made sure to close and lock all the windows and turned off all the lights and repeated the same process downstairs. She slipped her flip flops back on as she grabbed her backpack and car keys again. She set the alarm and locked up the side door.
Once Kira got back to her apartment she showered off the day's sweat and made a microwave pizza. She sat and watched a couple of MASH reruns and then went to bed.
The following morning Kira was back to the grindstone. She'd stopped by the house and put the third load into the dryer before she hit up Wal-mart first for all the home essentials and then trekked through the grocery store for damn near two hours making sure to get everything she needed on the list. Once she got all her car unloaded; the counters and kitchen table and also the island was covered with stuff. She pushed her earbuds in her ears and turned her MP3 player on as she started putting everything away.
Roman pulled the Black Chevy Tahoe to a stop in the garage of his two story home. He felt like he hadn't been home in months. But that actually wasn't the case. He and his stable mates Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose had recently won their 6 man tag match at WrestleMania and then the following month he and Seth had won the Tag Team Titles as Dean won the US Title. Their schedule had been kicked up a notch and there was no end in sight for the Shield stable.
Roman looked beside him and chuckled as he nudged Dean whose snoring was filing the SUV. He reached behind him and nudged Seth as well. Both men snorted awake with a jump. "Hey sleeping beauty and rip van winkle; come on were here. You can finish your beauty rest in the house."
Roman hit the button to close the garage door as he stepped out and walked to the back and grabbed his bags as the other two did the same. They'd all three met in WWE developmental in Florida Championship Wrestling in Tampa when they were signed. They'd actually become fast friends and thought of each other as brothers more than friends the two years they were there and already the 6 months they had been on the main roster.
Seth hopped out of the back as he stretched and gave his head a jerk to the right and left popping his neck along the way. "Jesus I thought we'd never get here."
"What are you bitching about I had to listen to you two snore the headliner off my Tahoe." Roman chuckled. They had gone to Tampa to tape an episode of NXT which is what WWE development had changed the name of FCW too. It was a six hour drive from Tampa to Pensacola. Dean and Seth had both decided they would come kick it with Roman on their two days off. Normally they'd stay in Tampa since that was where they lived, but both were looking for a change of scenery for their Wednesday and Thursday days off. They'd fly out on Friday for the house shows.
Dean grumbled as he gave Roman the finger before he caught his suitcase when his large Samoan friend threw it at him. "Ha! Fucker thought I wouldn't catch it huh?" Dean teased and received a shove into the side of the metal garage door for his smart mouth when he went to walk around Roman. "God damn you big fucker; if you break it you buy it man." Dean complained as he rubbed his left shoulder.
Seth looked at the blue Toyota Corolla sitting in the back part of the driveway. "Hey Roman, did your mom get a new car or something? Whose Toyota is this?"
Roman looked at it and shrugged. "Maybe her car is in the shop or something and she's borrowing a friend. Just make sure you watch your mouth's around her." Roman warned as he walked in front of his two friends and up the side porch steps. As soon as Roman stepped into the house, something felt different. His steely grey orbs looked at all the plastic and paper bags filled to the brim with stuff and no one was in sight.
"Mom…?" Roman called out but no answer.
Roman, Seth and Dean went looking through the entire house but didn't find anyone. As they came back downstairs they could hear shuffling and Roman took off and rounded the corner and stopped at the sight of a girl about his age, maybe younger clad in jean cargo capris, a red form fitting t-shirt and bare foot. Apparently she couldn't hear them because of the noise filtering out of the earbuds shoved in her ears.
"Is she a ring rat or a cousin?" Dean asked as his eyes stayed glued to her cute little ass. "Bro if she's a cousin I want to be introduced."
Roman made a sour face. "If I had any single female cousins I would make their father's lock them up before you could get to them bro."
Seth chuckled. "Can't blame you on that one…and since when do ring rats grocery shop for you?"
Roman made a face again. "Couldn't tell you, but I don't want that in my house. I just got rid of one pain in the ass female I don't need another one in here going through my shit." Roman growled. "Hey…" He tried addressing her which only served to piss him off because she couldn't hear him over her music. "HEY!"
Kira spun around as a voice boomed behind her. Her violet eyes widened as she backed away from the three incredibly large men. She squeaked when the middle of her back met the counter. She swallowed hard as she reached up and pulled her earbuds off. "Who are you? What are you doing in this house?"
Roman scowled. "I live here; now tell me what the fuck you're doing in my house?" He growled out. He did not like strangers in his house; especially female strangers.
"Ummm, Momma Patty hired me to clean this place up." Kira stated honestly but in a quiet voice. If this was Matt's baby brother; what part of him was the baby part? The man was gigantic.
Roman held up his hand. "I don't need a life story; don't go anywhere." He looked at Seth and Dean. "Watch her." He turned around and walked between them into the living room as he pulled his cell out and called his mother.
"Roman baby what's going on; how's the tour?" Patty answered when she saw her youngest calling her.
"I'm home early and I have some mousey little girl in my kitchen; mom what is she doing here?" Roman asked keeping his tone with his mother even; he wasn't too old to have his ass whooped by his mother for getting smart with her.
"You better be on your best behavior. I hired Kira to come clean the place up. Summer got a promotion and I have to watch the boys more so I couldn't come over and clean up." Patty stated.
"Mom I love you, but I don't need some stranger in my house getting into my stuff. I'm a grown man and can clean up my own house by myself." Roman argued.
"Hush up young man." Patty scolded. "It's been 3 months since Marie left. I let you sit away in that house by yourself and let you handle it by yourself because you ARE a grown man. But Roman I will not allow you to live in filth. And that's exactly what I saw when I walked into your house yesterday. You can be depressed and pissed off all you want and you can sit on the couch and game for 48 hours on your days off and you can bed as many women as you want as well until you find the next Mrs. Right, but I refuse to let you live that way." Patty argued right back leaving no room for protest.
"Now, Kira works at Matt's Restaurant and she's got plenty of spare time and she can use the money because she's putting herself through college. So do not be rude to her and do not get in her way. You let her do what she was hired to do and you make sure you pay her good; especially after what I saw yesterday young man." Patty chastised.
Roman sighed heavily. "Yes ma'am." He hung up knowing his mom left nothing up for discussion. He pushed his cell phone back in his pocket as he walked back into the kitchen and noticed the mouse had finished putting the groceries and bags all away and was now folding laundry into piles on the kitchen table.
Kira stopped as she huffed a lock of her ash blonde hair out of her face. "So what's the verdict? Do you think I'm some weird who randomly goes around and stocks people's fridges and pantries all the while cleaning their homes and doing their laundry?" Kira asked in a clipped tone.
Roman shook his head. "My mother tells me I'm not to be rude or get in your way."
"Huh…What do you say?" Kira asked curiously.
Roman rolled his shoulders. "I don't need strangers in my house fucking shit up; but I won't go against my mother. If I find out anything is missing and this was some feeble attempt to get close to me or my family by getting my mother's attention with your cutesy ways I will have you arrested. Do you understand me?"
Kira shook her head. "Wow so now I'm a liar and a thief and I bet your whites have never been whiter." She smarted off as she threw a pair of socks at his chest and watched him catch them. "Look, I busted my ass for your mother if you couldn't tell pig pen; I have no intentions of stealing bullshit from someone I don't even know. The only reason I know your mother is because I work for Matt Friday through Tuesday." Kira walked over and grabbed the Ziploc bag off the counter. "And while we're on the cleaning subject pig pen. If I ever come back here to clean up this place again and these are on the floor NEXT to the trashcan I will make you eat every one of them." She tossed the bag at the big man and again he caught it.
Roman gave Seth a side glance. "Pig Pen…?" He questioned.
Seth chuckled. "Pig Pen was the dirty kid from Charlie Brown; everywhere he went a cloud of dirt followed him." Seth looked at the bag. "Is that what I think it is?"
"I like her fire." Dean chuckled. "And yes that is exactly what it is." He answered Seth's question.
"No one told you to go into my personal bedroom and clean little girl." Roman growled out; having felt thoroughly embarrassed by this brash girl.
Kira rolled her eyes. "I was hired to do a job and I did my job. You have a trashcan right next to your bed and contrary to popular belief you won't lose your man card for picking up after yourself. If I was you I'd be dying of embarrassment right now or you could consider yourself lucky that I found them…and not your mother." Kira grabbed her car keys and her backpack and stopped to look back at the three men. "My name is Kira by the way. So nice you meet you. You've got another load of laundry in the dryer I'm sure you can handle it. The pantry and fridge is fully stocked now. I won't be back until the week after next I have mid-terms next week. If you need me to get you something leave a list on the fridge. My cell is on there if you can think of something while you're on the road text me call me whatever." With another roll of her eyes she turned and left the house.
Kira growled as she drove down the street. "What an arrogant ass!" She adored Momma Patty and Matt and his three sisters and even Matt's dad who insisted she call him Papa Sika. But the baby of the family was on her last nerve now.
Hopefully that would be her last run in with that dick, but somehow she knew they had many more run in's to come.
