Kaitlyn sighed out as she worked a brush into her brown locks. The day had been hard and tiring with the new heaps of promos and matches she was constantly thrown into. Despite being the Diva's Champion, Kaitlyn was a Shield member and she had a reputation to uphold which meant she had to always be battle ready. And battle ready, apparently to the head honchos in WWE, meant never being away from the spotlight at all; which wasn't a bad thing. A Diva in the spotlight always meant great things for the division but damn all this left Kaitlyn so tired.
She hated complaining about it. The brunette knew she was fortunate enough to have everything she does. Months ago she was sure she was going to be pushed into the back, never to be heard of again, but now she was right in front for the world to see. But "right in front" was overwhelming. "Right in front" meant that she always had to be at her best and not just in wrestling ability. She had to physically look her best, she had to sound her best and she had to give off the best presence. Tough yet sexy, sexy yet smart. And on top of all of that she had to make herself intimidating. Which, with a goofy and loving personality like the one she had, it was proving to be a bit difficult.
"I'm going to grow white hairs soon. I know it." Kaitlyn breathed out as she placed the brush down. She felt two arms snake around her waist before a reflection of a familiar male face showed itself in her mirror.
"Then I'll have to call you granny." Roman Reigns spoke, a lazy smile on his face.
"Oh, hardy har har." Kaitlyn sassed before turning her head and placing a kiss on his lips. It was no secret that Kaitlyn and Roman had gotten together after their kiss the night Kaitlyn won the Championship. It took a bit of a slow start at first, as Kaitlyn thought it was a spur of the moment kiss in his part, but when Roman had convinced her of his true feelings –and she acknowledged her own –the two started their new relationship.
"What's wrong, babe?" He asked as he turned Kaitlyn around in his arms so she was facing him.
"What makes you think something's wrong?" She asked, diverting her eyes from his and choosing to look at his shirt instead.
"You didn't respond with a witty comment, you're looking down instead of at my eyes..." Roman started before using a finger under her chin to lift her face up to look at him. "And I noticed the way you were lookin' at yourself in the mirror. I know that face; it's your stressed one. What's up?"
Kaitlyn let out a sigh as she slouched her shoulders slightly. "Everything." She answered. "The countless promos, all the signings and interviews and photoshoots…oh god, all the matches! I can't believe I'm complaining about having too many matches but I am." Kaitlyn shook her head. "I can't believe I'm complaining. I should feel blessed for this. I feel blessed for this it's just...ugh."
Roman shook his head. "You can complain if you want, Kay." He reassured her. "You're not use to this, that's it."
"I should be." The Diva huffed out. "I was in an all Diva's season of NXT once, you know. This stuff should be easy for me."
"But, it ain't and that's okay." Roman rubbed a thumb on her waist. "You just got used to the slow side of this company. Now you're back in the fast side."
Kaitlyn let out a soft chuckle at that. "Are you saying I was a jobber back then?"
Roman raised his hands up. "You said it not me."
Kaitlyn slapped his arm before working her way to the bed and throwing herself onto it. "When's our next day off?"
Roman placed his hands on his waist as he thought. "Uhh…next week." He finally answered earning a groan from the Texan on the bed.
He let out a chuckle as he loomed over Kaitlyn, placing his hands on either side of her head and dipping his head slightly. "I can help make you feel better." He spoke huskily as she smirked up at him.
"Can you now?" She asked as she looped her arms loosely around his neck.
"Mmhhmm." He smirked, bringing his lips down to reach hers. His lips barely touched hers when a loud knock was heard from the hotel room's door. A low growl escaped Roman's lips from the intruder. Kaitlyn let out an exasperated noise of her own as she gently pushed him off her and went to the door.
"Who is it?" She asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Your favorite guy!" A voice that undeniably belonged to Seth sing-songed. "Oh and the annoying prick too."
Kaitlyn could hear a loud thwack along with Seth letting out a curse. She could only assume the "annoying prick" was Dean and he had slapped Seth behind the head. Kaitlyn turned back to look at Roman who merely waved his hand at her.
She opened the door, not being able to even let out a greeting as Seth pushed right past her. "Please come in." She muttered sarcastically, causing Dean to smirk as he walked inside.
Seth threw himself on the bed, placing his hands behind his head as he smiled over at Roman. "Hey Roro." He greeted, using the nickname that Kaitlyn knew drove Roman crazy.
"How many times do I have to tell ya ass to stop calling me that?" He breathed out, causing Seth to flip over and look back at his own butt.
"I didn't know my ass was calling you that!" He said causing Roman to let out a groan as he rubbed his face with his hand.
"Please tell me why the hell we still have him around?" Roman asked Dean and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn merely shrugged as Dean let his smirk widen.
"I don't know…" Dean started, landing his eyes on Seth who had fixed himself upright again. "We have Kaitlyn now. We don't need this Diva anymore."
"Fuck you." Seth spoke.
"No thanks." Dean rolled his eyes.
"As much as I love hearing you three bicker I have to ask…why are you guys here?" Kaitlyn asked.
Seth shrugged. "We were bored."
"Also we have to work on our next ambush. I'm thinking Punk…" Dean spoke grimly of his newest target. He had gotten beat a couple of times by the Straightedge Superstar and he was determined to get him back anyway he could.
Kaitlyn let out a groan as she threw herself on the empty bed for the second time that night. "Can that please wait?" She asked.
Dean went to open his mouth but Roman shot him a look that simply read 'don't'. So Dean merely nodded before leaning back on the wall. Back then he wouldn't have ever let his word be shot down but with Kaitlyn around he found himself being a bit softer with things. Of course, he wasn't going to say that out loud but the teammates knew it; especially Kaitlyn.
Just then Dean's hand flew to his pocket as a soft buzz was heard in the room. He fished his phone out and tapped on the screen a few times, smirking down at it.
"Alright man." Seth spoke, extending his hand out towards Dean. "Give me the phone."
"What the fuck? No way, man." Dean refused, sliding the phone back into his pocket.
"Well, you've been getting texts all day and each time you smirk down at. I just want to know what poor unfortunate girl has been trapped in your web." Seth explained.
"What makes you think it's a girl?" Dean asked. Everyone in the room raised their eyebrow at him.
"Really? Am I a manwhore to you three?" Dean asked, extending his hands out besides him in disbelief.
"We wouldn't say manwhore…" Kaitlyn spoke.
"Nah, Manwhore is right." Roman smirked. "Who's the girl?"
"None of your goddamn business." Dean shot at Roman.
"Come on man!" Seth whined.
"What part of 'no' do you not fucking understand?" Dean asked a bit agitated.
"The 'no' part." Seth responded.
Dean shook his head before rolling his eyes. "Fine. It's the new red haired girl…uhh..."
"Eva Marie?!" Kaitlyn asked incredulously as she shot back up from her earlier position. "You're texting Eva Marie?!"
"Dude! Score!" Seth exclaimed as he raised his fist for a fist pump which Dean returned.
"She just handed me her number, I didn't even have to do anything." Dean said, shrugging. "So I figured why not take advantage. An easy lay is still a good lay."
"That's disgusting." Kaitlyn muttered as she shook her head.
"Disgusting to you. Fucking amazing to me." Dean said. "Come on Roman, back me up here."
Roman gave the man a look before shaking his head. "Nah man. Only got eyes for my girl." Kaitlyn smiled over at him gaining a gagging noise from Seth.
"Save that gushy shit for when we leave, alright?" Dean said as Seth nodded in agreement.
"You guys are just jealous." Kaitlyn waved them off. "By the way, when are you guys leaving?"
"Shit, kicking us out?!" Seth exclaimed.
"I'm not kicking you out, just insisting that you guys leave." Kaitlyn shrugged.
"Fine we'll leave you two to do…whatever you do." Dean said, pushing himself off the wall and waiting for Seth to join him.
"Can I just ask you two to keep it down tonight? I don't want to stay awake because the bed is slamming into the wall." Seth said. Kaitlyn gasped as she took a pillow and hurled it towards him.
"Get out of here!" She yelled as Seth snickered out with Dean. She crawled out of the bed and locked the door, turning to look at Roman.
"I'm sorry for my friends." Roman spoke, getting up from his sitting position.
"It's alright." Kaitlyn said before walking towards him and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Now that they're gone we can get back to what we were doing." She muttered, twirling one of his black locks around her finger.
He smirked down at her. "You ain't gotta tell me twice." He said as he picked her up, gaining a giggle from the brunette.
Being Diva's Champion made her stressed but lucky for her she had the best stress reliever.
