"I knew it!" Jonathan didn't seem surprised. Since the other night when Renee saw more than she wanted, Jon was eighty per cent sure of what was going on between those two, but not only because of what Renee saw but also because the blue eyed man knew them well enough to see something was going on.
"Ah! What was that for?" Colby hissed as the former team mate punch him in the middle of the stomach
"You thought you could hide something like this from me? C'mon you should know better! ...Um… Joe? What are you still doing in there?" The long haired man was still hiding in the dark bathroom
"Trying to avoid you, isn't that obvious?"
"Hell no! Get your ass out here, right now!" The younger man argued "I am not dealing with him alone" After all they were together in that
"Ah! Dammit!" Jon punched him again
"Why the hell not!?"
Joe finally came out of the bathroom and the three of them stood there looking at each other trying to figure out what to say. Come on, man, say something…it's Jon! Colby thought looking at Joe hoping he could read his thoughts. He looked back at Jonathan who was glaring at him I have to say something, this is getting weird…er His thoughts won, he did say something: he said that Renee was downstairs waiting for them... Wishing they'd just go. It didn't work, he probably should've kept his mouth shut. Of course Jon didn't like the idea of not knowing anything but the obvious so he asked Joe "You like him 'like that' for how long now?" pointing at Colby.
"Two years or so"
"How and when did this start?" The taller man wanted to know
"A couple weeks ago, maybe less and- hey I'm not telling you how!" Joe replied "This is not an interrogation room, Jony boy" Joe joked "Wait a second, why don't you ask him?"
"Yeah, why don't you ask m-" Colby sopped as he realized that his lover was talking about him "Pussy!" he mouthed and the other laughed
"Colby, I knew, since our Shield days, that you liked him 'like that', at least I suspected"
A little smirk appeared in Joe's lips. He didn't have feeling for Colby back then, but he sure liked the attention given by the other man. In that time he didn't think that Colby could think of him in such way, but days after the fight they had at the bar he finally remembered something Colby had said to him while drunk: after calling him a dickhead endless times he whispered "I fucking love you" and that's what gave him the strength and the guts to kiss Colby.´
"W- What? That's impossible!" The shorter man argued
"Don't underestimate our friendship, brother" Jonathan told as he pulled his cellphone out of his pocket since it was ringing. He picked up the phone but the call didn't even last 2 minutes. "We should go…now! Or else Neenee will kill me and you two!"
As they were going down in the elevator Colby felt like he had to make something clear "Look, Jonathan, we didn't tell you before because we were…"
"…Scared" Joe continued
"Of me?"
"No, Jon, of being caught… The whole storyline thing, we can't ruin it and you know it! I'm sorry we didn't tell you before but it's easier if we're the only ones to know about this…!" Joe stated
"I understand…"
"Plus, you'd mock us for the rest of our lives!" Colbs added
"You can count on that! But not in the next few days, I'm still taking in all this information… I might sell it" The taller man replied
"Good start!" Colby joked. Jon put his arms around both the lover's necks and squeezed them till they foreheads touch, meanwhile the elevator door opened and Renee was standing right in front of it with her arms crossed pressed against her chest and a small frown on her face
"Darling…" Jonathan said apologetically
"Don't 'Darling' me! You said it'd take two minutes…It's been twenty!
"I am here now… hey, why are you snapping out on me? It was their fault!
"Wow, that's mature" Colby commented.
The four of them drove heading the restaurant.
"Table for four, please." Renee asked. They sat down and ordered the food. By the end of the meal, the waitress approached them "Can I get you dessert?"
"So, Joe, do you… want dessert?" Colby leaned onto Joe and whispered those words as he slowly squeezed his thigh. Joe chewed on his lower lip to hold a smile.
He nodded to the waitress and replied "Dessert sounds great" putting his hand on top of Colby's
"I totally agree! Excuse me, where's the restroom?" the two toned man asked
"You see that red door over there, sir? That is it." The woman responded politely and he nodded as if he was thanking her. He got up and walk towards the red door.
"Excuse me" Joe got up as well while Jon and Renee were busy figuring out which dessert they'd choose.
He opened the red door and behind it Colby was expecting him draped against the wall. Joe quickly made his way to his lover placing his hands on the back of his neck pulling him towards him pressing their lips together, it got them gasp for air. They were panting. Joe ran his thumbs through Colby's jaw line "The simpler things you do, can still drive me crazy… what a gift you have!" He chuckled
"I'm proud of it to be honest" He ran his fingers through the grey eyed man's core "If the simple things drive you crazy, I can't imagine what the sophisticated ones will do…" He winked
"You're teasing me, aren't you?" Joe bit his lip
"Is that what it looks like?" Colby teased. Their tongues battled inside their mouths once more. Joe's hands travelled the other's chest and his lips the other's neck kissing it and slightly sucking on it. A small grunt left Colby's parted lips.
The door flew open, both their bodies went tense hoping to God it was the wind, but there was no wind inside a restaurant. A familiar voice echoed "Ah dammit, that is something I can't unsee!" It was Jon. What the hell is he doing here? They started laughing in relief "What are you laughing at?"
"Why are you here?"
"I came to see why you were taking so long…Well, I got my answer"
After dessert they went back to the hotel. As they entered, they noticed that Stephanie McMahon was sitting there in the lobby
"Hey Steph" Jonathan greeted "Is everything alright?"
"Renee, I want to talk to the boys… alone, please. Thank you." The blonde nodded once and went away.
"Stephanie, what's going on?" Colby asked, he could see that something was wrong
"Guys, I know that you came to the WWE together and you were together before, but we have to work with what we have and what we have now is a storyline that can't be broken… You were seen together." Stephanie pointed to the couple "And when I was on my way to talk to you I heard that the three of you went for dinner, again all together. Look, there is no easy way to say this, you can't hang out, with Colby I mean, and if you do make sure it's out of people's sight. It has to be this way: Rollins will continue to be hated, Reigns will continue to be loved and Ambrose will continue to be worshiped. Do you understand?" The three men nodded "I am really sorry. Good night."
"Friends become our chosen Family"
