Seth's POV
I felt Roman put his arm around my waist and pull me close to his big chest. It felt good to have his support even if we were arguing just the night before. It was nearing time to get to the venue for tonight's RAW but neither of us could leave her side. We spent all night awake, waiting for her to get out of surgery and when she finally did it wasn't enough. It took awhile for Leena to open her eyes and it was only momentarily, so the nurse could remove the tube from her throat.
Her progress seemed good, we would be able to take her to the hotel room soon. I let out a sigh as my eyes returned to the clock on my cell phone again.
"We have to go..." I said softly.
"I know." Roman replied. His deep voice was horse and for a second I wondered if he had been crying. "The future champ's gotta make his appearance on RAW. Fucking bullshit. We should've gotten the night off."
"You know we couldn't have. Tonight is the night after a PPV and you won the main event. You have to go. It'll be ok. Dean's new fling said she'd keep him updated. Let's get going." Reluctantly i released my grasp on Leena's hand and pulled away from the hospital. Roman placed a long kiss against her forehead seeming to not want to pull away either. Dean knocked gently on the room door.
"Guys, the car's outside. We uh...have to go."
"We know Dean, we're ready." I said. Roman and I both followed his to the car that was set to drive us to the venue. I took one last look at Leena before turning away for good.
Leena's POV
"I feel like I got hit by a mutherfucking 16-wheeler. What is going on?" I groaned. I looked over hoping to see Seth or Roman but instead I saw Gwen's puffy eyes staring back at me.
"Oh my god! You are awake! You have been sleeping for so long! I got worried!" she said before giving me a slightly gentle hug.
"Gwen, what happened last night?"
"Doctor say Orton-man crack your rib with chair. And then rib punctured your stomach a little. Doctors did surgery before anything bad happen so you will be back in 6 weeks! I will return home with you."
I wanted to sit up but that was definitely out of the question. "Gwen, I'm not going back home. I'll heal while on the road. I've still got training to do with these girls. Even if I don't physically step into the ring I can still train them."
"No! Is dangerous! I will tell Dean and he will tell big man and the boy with nice arms." she said. She was serious, I knew that for sure but I really didn't want Ro and Seth to be breathing down my neck and hounding me about not going back home. There wasn't anything at home for me. I would just be stressed about not working and training and it wouldn't be relaxing at all.
"I can't go home. It'll just stress me out more. Now where's Seth and Roman?" i asked.
She looked down at her phone. "Is almost midnight. They should be coming back from matches tonight."
Oh right, tonight was RAW. Of course they had to make an appearance, Roman won of course. Thank god for the meds knocking me out or else I'd have to hear their lecture about how I shouldn't have been in the ring that long. it's not my fault 2 minutes turned into 20. Hell, I couldn't even blame Randy. He was a heel, he had to be bad. Given his history with Roman this was icing on the cake. Although I didn't expect me and Roman's relationship to go public. I had kissed him while the cameras were rolling. I had become so used to them being there I totally forgot. And since they never caught me kissing Seth, I was paired up with Roman. Now i had to try my hardest to watch my actions around Seth and do what was "best for business."
It sucked majorly because again Rome and I were getting the attention and he felt left in the dark. I should've known those cameras would be sneaky. They wouldn't miss an opportunity to capture a hot moment.
Gwen took me out of my train of thoughts when she handed me a small card. "Orton-man bring you nice flowers to say sorry."
I looked at the bouquet that was on the stand beside the bed. It was huge and full of vibrantly colored flowers who's names I didn't know. It was really pretty. Who knew the biggest heel in the business was actually a nice guy?
"That's sweet of him. Too bad it won't get me 6 weeks of my career back."
"Be nice, Leena. He is sorry! Oh the boys are here. I will go get Dean!"
With that she sprinted from my room, high heels clacking against the tiled floor. I tried to adjust myself to a seated position but it was too tiring. I let out a small sigh and stared up at the ceiling. Hospitals sucked. Everything was so white and cold. I'd much rather be in a hotel room with pizza and video games and Roman and Seth laughing by my side. I heard harsher footsteps approach my door and my three idiots walked into the room.
"Leena, you're awake!" Seth cried, immediately pulling me to his chest. I groaned in pain and he released me, surprised that he caused me further pain. "I'm sorry!"
"Don't worry about it. I'm cool." I grunted. "How was RAW?"
"Fucking terrible. I couldn't concentrate on anything but getting back here to see you. Are you ready to go home?" Roman asked.
"Home as in hotel room, yes. Home as in my hometown, no."
"Leena, you have to take a few weeks off and rest." Dean interjected.
"I tell her but of course she does not listen!" Gwen added.
"Look, i know you guys think I'm crazy but I'd rather be surrounded by a locker room full of sweaty assholes and whiny girls. Besides...I really don't want to be away from my family." I said, looking up at them.
"What's that saying about family, Ro?" Dean teased.
"I swear to go, say one more fucking thing about ohana and I'll stick my foot straight up your pasty ass." Roman hissed.
"He's been calling us Lilo and Stitch alllll day. He thinks he's so cleaver." Seth rolled his eyes.
I couldn't help but laugh which made my sides hurt. "B-but you'd make a cute Stitch!" I gasped and held myself, trying to stifle my laughter.
With his best Stitch impression Seth clawed his hand and let out a creepy little "Hiiiii"
I tried harder not to laugh while Roman and Dean continued to argue in the background. See, this was much better than laying at home being miserable. This loveable idiots were where I wanted to be.
"I'm so happy to be in a hotel bed. It's so much better than that cardboard hospital bed. I think that hurt my back more than it helped." I said sinking into the mattress that Seth and Roman helped me into.
Roman was busy taking off my boots while Seth helped pull the leather jacket away from my shoulders. "We just want you to be comfortable and rest. Emphasis on the REST." Seth added a warning to the end of his sentence.
"I get it! I will rest and suffer while you boys exercise and fight. It's gonna be great."
"Leena you'll be back there in no time. For once just please listen to us. You could injure yourself further if you move around so much." Roman tossed my boots to the floor beside his and climbed into bed beside me.
"Ok! I promise I will stay put and not go anywhere. Scouts honor." I said.
Seth joined the bed on my other side. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me a little closer to his chest. "Good, when you're more healed I'll take you camping."
"Excuse me? Mutherfucker, do I look like I camp? How am I going to flat iron my hair?!"
"You've never gone camping before?!" Seth said, actually surprised. I have no idea why he thought I would like nature when my freaking hair would frizz anytime there was even a hint of moisture in the air. And bugs. NOPE. Fuck that.
"What on God's green earth made you think I would like camping?!" i asked.
"Because I would be there. We could spend time together while Roman is cashing in his reign as the future star of Wrestlemania. Wouldn't you like to spend some alone time with me?" There he goes using that puppy dog face on me. His brown eyes got all big and he puffed out his bottom lip in the cutest little pout. How could I say no?
"Fine, I'll go camping with you. What will you do Roman?"
"It'll be awhile until I get to spend any quality alone time with you guys. They've got me booked for all kinds of stuff. But I'll treat you to a one on one dinner date then the three of us can go to the beach once we get to a warm state. Seth can wear his cute ass speedos." Roman winked at the other man.
"My ass looks good in those speedos and you know it." Seth sassed.
Seth and Speedos didn't seem like a bad combination at all.
