Dean is staring down at the mat trying to focus on finishing his work out, but his emotions are winning slowly but surely. He sees a pair of pink and black Nike's suddenly in his view and follows them up the familiar red Celestial Bodies booty scrunch pants and to the white and pink Celestial Bodies shirt and finally up to Roxy's emerald green eyes.
Roxy: "Hey, no sitting down on the job dude. You're supposed to be working out."
She nudges his foot with her own playfully and he smirks a little at her.
Dean: "I was working out and now I'm sitting here sweating and catching my breath."
Roxy: "You're allowed to catch your breath. Hey, do you have a minute to talk about a few things?"
Dean: "Yeah. Go for it. I always have time to talk to you."
He pats the mat next to him and Roxy sits in front of him.
Roxy: "I'm a little bit confused on what exactly happened last night."
Dean: "You and I both."
Roxy: "Well, you obviously have some sort of an answer for me or you wouldn't be beating yourself up the way you are."
Dean: "How do you figure I'm beating myself up?"
Roxy: "Dude, I've know you forever. We were together for 3 years before you went to developmental in Florida. I know how to read your body language. You were punching that bag like it was going to relieve you of something. It was more than just your usual hyping yourself up before a match thing you do."
Dean: "As far as I can see, last night was awkward, awesome sex. Awkward because of the way it happened and awesome because I've always wanted to be between two females I love like that. I felt like Kenzie was giving me something really special and it made me fall in love with her all the more. I should've known it was too good to be true."
Roxy: "What the hell happened after I left?"
Dean: "Pretty much what we thought was going to happen when she came into the hotel room and saw us naked like that."
Roxy: "She went off on you."
Dean: "Yeah she did. She basically said I made you feel awkward and you'd rather have slithered off under the bed then went through with that whole awkward threesome. So she defended your honor there. Also she doesn't want to lose her best girlfriend because her boyfriend is an asshole."
Roxy: "She's not going to lose her best girlfriend over some guy. If she knows anything about me she knows I choose my chicks over dicks. I don't care how long I've known the guy. I don't have a lot of close girlfriends and I cherish the few that I have."
Dean: "She asked me what the hell I was thinking just like Roman did a few minutes ago. I was only thinking about having a good time. I wasn't thinking with the brain in my head when I went through with that. I didn't think it would make you feel cheap or awkward and I didn't think Kenzie would break up with me over it."
Roxy: "What did you think she was going to do? She sure as hell wasn't going to embrace it and throw a party for you. You've sworn to her time and time again that your feelings for me weren't going to come between the two of you. You told her time and time again that we were in the past and you were done with me and now all of the sudden, out of the blue you decide you want to have a threesome with the two of us and she tries to accept it and decides that it's not cool with her to share you with me."
Dean: "I get that. I can understand where she's coming from and frankly, I'd have done the same thing if the roles were reversed, but I wouldn't have jumped in the bed and kissed Roman. That gives the mixed signal that I'm down and granting her a one- time pass to do what she wants to do and get it out of her system. That whole stripping down to her lingerie and jumping in bed with us gave me a green light. I didn't even question why she was going through with something we, obviously all three needed to talk about and talk about again before doing. I wasn't going to stop her from getting in the bed with her man."
Roxy: "I know and I can understand that. Yeah, she did give the green light by jumping in the bed in her lingerie and no, you wouldn't question it, but the tone of her voice and her attitude before she got in the bed said "Let's get this shit over with please." It was like she was tired and at her wits end before she walked into that room."
Dean: "True and maybe my not answering the phone put her there or maybe walking in on me naked and you with no pants on added to it and she really wanted to scream and yell, but instead she jumped in the bed thinking it was just going to solve everything."
Roxy: "Maybe and maybe she knew exactly what she was doing and she was testing you to see if you'd actually back away and go "Wait a minute, honey. You're obviously not in your right mind right now. Let's back up and think about this rationally." You didn't even stop to gauge her mood before you gave me that playful little devilish look."
Dean: "I don't play mind games and she knows that. If she wanted me to stop and think about it she would've said "Stop." And it would've been over. She knows it."
Roxy: "You know how women are. Sometimes we like to test our men and see if they actually know us under pressure. If you truly loved her and truly knew her the way you think you do, you'd have stopped the minute you heard that hotel room door open and close knowing you weren't expecting anyone after the phone rang."
Dean: "Well, here's a little advice for your future relationships. Don't test your men. You're men are loyal and they love you with everything they are and they don't need you to test them like school children. If they want to test you they will do it on their own. There's no need to see if someone you love passes the test. Love doesn't hurt and love doesn't make you feel bad for not picking the right answer."
