Brie and Nikki had to take the girls up to their rooms. They had gotten completely drunk. Singing and dancing in the backyard.
Their alarm went off as usual. Addie slapped her hand on the button. Groaning before rolling onto her back.
"Why is that alarm so freaking loud", Addie groaned.
"Stop screaming", Bayley mumbled into her pillow.
Carmella quickly shot up.
"Shit, I'm going to be late for work", she said, before running into the bathroom.
After she got out of the shower, she was making all kinds of noise. Bayley groaned.
"You're so loud Mella", Bayley said.
"Don't you have work too?", Carmella asked.
Bayley looked at the clock and gasped.
"Shit", she said.
"Yeah, thought so", Carmella said.
She shook Addie to wake her up.
"You've got school", Carmella said.
"My hangover is worse. Why aren't you in pain?", Addie said.
"Girl, I am, but it's barely my second day at work and I am not going to get fired", Carmella said.
"Coffee is ready", Nikki said loudly.
"Mom, really?", Carmella said.
"That's what all three of you get for drinking last night", Nikki said.
She slapped Addie's butt.
"Get up, you'll be late", Nikki said.
Addie slowly made her way to her mom's bathroom. Once she was done, Bayley was just leaving.
"You've got ten minutes kiddo", her mom said.
"I have a headache", Addie mumbled.
"Not my problem", Brie said.
She didn't feel like getting dressed. If she could go naked to school right now, she would.
Putting some jeans and a t-shirt on. Her hair in a messy bun and sunglasses.
"You definitely look hungover", Nikki said, as Addie walked into the kitchen.
"Not so loud aunt Nikki", Addie said.
"I wasn't screaming. Are you sure you should go to school?", Nikki said.
Addie nodded and grabbed some toast with grape jelly. She kissed her mom's cheek and left. Dean was leaving his house and waved at her. She sent him a nod.
"You look like shit", he called out.
"Thanks", she said, getting into her car and driving to the school.
She was twenty minutes late. Getting there she grabbed her bag and ran to get to class. Opening the door, she stopped, everyone was looking at her.
"Twenty minutes late miss Bella", Roman said.
"Yeah, sorry", Addie said.
She made her way to her seat and sighed. Her head was pounding. She knew he wasn't being loud, but it did sound like he was screaming.
She laid her head on her desk, falling asleep.
For Bayley, every time the door opened the chime above it would ding and she would groan.
"You alright?", Dean asked.
"Not really", Bayley said.
"Does this have anything to do with your cousin being hungover? I saw her before coming here and she looked like shit. You do too", Dean said.
"Yeah, thanks for the wine by the way", Bayley said.
Dean chuckled.
"The next time you girls get shitfaced, call a brother over. I'm loads of fun", Dean said, winking.
Bayley laughed.
"So um, your sister, is she single?", Dean asked.
Bayley smirked and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Who wants to know?", she asked.
She noticed Dean blush. He shrugged.
"She's cute alright", Dean said.
"I'll ask her", Bayley said.
Seth had put Carmella at the front to greet the guests after he saw her come in. He walked over to her and handed her a bottle of water.
"Some party you had last night", he said.
She chuckled.
"Yeah, couldn't let my cousin drink alone", Carmella said.
"Same here.", Seth said.
"Your brother, the tall one. He seemed a bit, I don't know, scared", Carmella said.
She couldn't get the conversation about them out of her head.
"He wasn't scared, more like confused, nervous", Seth said.
"Why?", she asked.
"He likes your cousin, Adelaide, but he's her professor", Seth said.
"Oh right, I forgot", Carmella said.
He nodded.
"Speaking of siblings, your sister, Bayley, is she dating anyone?", he asked.
Carmella smiled.
"Last time I checked, no. Why?", she said.
He shrugged.
"She was pretty cute. You think if I asked her out, she would say yes?", he asked.
"Maybe", Carmella said.
"Come on, help a co-worker out", he said.
"Fine, stop begging you're embarrassing yourself", Carmella said.
Seth laughed and shook his head at her.
"Says the woman who was eyeing up my brother Dean", Seth said.
"I was not", Carmella said.
"Sure you weren't", Seth said.
Addie felt someone shake her and she was about to swat the person away, but she remembered where she was and quickly shot up.
"Crap, I fell asleep", she said.
Roman laughed.
"You did", he said.
She looked around and everyone was gone.
"What time is it?", she asked.
"Class ended two hours ago", he said.
"What?", she stood quickly.
"Okay, calm down. You looked terrible and I figured you needed the sleep.", Roman said.
He placed a water bottle and two pills down on the table.
"They'll help with the headache", he said, turning back to go to his desk.
She took them and finished half of the water.
"Thank you", she said.
He nodded.
"I'm guessing you liked the wine", he said, while packing his stuff up.
"It was my favorite, obviously", she said.
He looked over at her. She packed her book in her bag and stood.
"I should get home", she said.
He stopped her.
"Would you like to have dinner? With me", he said.
She wanted to say yes. To be with him again, even if it was only for a little while. She looked down, before meeting his eyes again.
"I don't think that's a good idea. You're my professor and...", he cut her off.
"I get it, you're right. Its way out of line", he said.
She nodded.
"Thank you again, Mr. Reigns", she said, before leaving his classroom.
He heard his room door shut. He called Dean.
"Hey brother, what's up?", Dean asked.
"I got a few strands of her hair. How are things on your end?", Roman asked.
He walked out of his classroom and locked up.
"She's going to help me get a date with her sister. I'm close", Dean said.
"Good. Have you heard from Seth?", he asked.
"No, but my lunch break is soon and I was going to head down to the gym", Dean said.
"Good. Let me know how it goes. I'm going home", Roman said.
"Yup", Dean said, before hanging up.
Roman stopped at a coffee shop his coworkers were talking about. They told him it was the best in town. After he ordered his drink, he looked out the window at all the stores.
"Roman Reigns", they announced.
He walked over, just as they set another drink down and called out a woman's name. He reached out for his drink, when a woman's hand reached for hers. They both laughed.
"I'm so sorry. I just really love their coffee", the blonde woman said.
"I wouldn't know, this is my first time trying it. I heard its good though", he said, smiling.
She held her hand out.
"Alexa Bliss", she said.
He shook her hand.
"Roman Reigns", he said.
"New here I'm guessing", she said as they walked out of the busy coffee shop.
"Yeah, my brothers and I just moved here", he said.
"What brought you to Salem?", she asked.
"A house that was left to us. We are deciding if we want to stay or sell the house", he said.
She nodded.
"And so far?", she asked.
"It's a nice town. Quiet and slow paced, but I don't know", he said.
She nodded.
"Well, I have to go. Still have grocery shopping to get done", he said, tilting his head towards his car.
"Yeah, and I have to get back to work", she said, pointing in the opposite direction.
"Oh yeah, where do you work?", he asked.
"A Touch of Craft. We sell candles, oils, and herbs. You know all natural stuff", she said.
He nodded. He and the guys had seen the store when they got into town. They always kept in mind to check out stores like that. Sometimes actual witches ran them and sometime they were people pretending to be them.
"You own it?", he asked.
"No, I just run it", she said.
He nodded. She took out a card from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Come by anytime", she said.
He nodded.
"I just might, Alexa", he smiled.
She turned and left him standing there. He placed the card in his pocket, reminding himself to look into the shop, Alexa, and its owner.
"What do you think that was about?", Nikki asked.
"I don't know", Brie said.
They had been watching Alexa and Roman from their shop. A Touch of Craft. They did great with their clothing line, but they also loved having a little shop. Alexa walked back into the store.
"What?", she asked as they watched her.
"We gave you a job, because like us, you are stuck here like this. You still haven't learned your lesson. He will never want you", Brie said.
"Things change. You never know, this might be my year", Alexa said, smirking.
"In that case, you're fired", Brie said.
Alexa rolled her eyes before grabbing her bag and leaving.
Addie stopped by the store.
"How are doing babe?", Brie asked.
"A little better. Came to get some lavender oil for a bath", Addie said.
"Go ahead", Nikki said.
She grabbed one off the shelf and kissed her mom and aunt's cheeks.
"Love you, see you at home", Addie called.
"Should we tell her Alexa is rounding him?", Nikki asked.
"No. She doesn't need more stress added on", Brie said.
Nikki nodded.
