Shape of You
Chapter Two
A slave to him but now with me, no strings attached
but if you wanna use me up and leave me in the bed
if that's what you need go right ahead
The warmth of the sun kissed her skin as she began to stir. Her hazel eyes fluttered open and she brought a hand up to shield her eyes from the early morning light. She shifted, surprised by the weight of someone's arm wrapped around her waist. She shifted her gaze toward her side and gasped, shuffling out of her companion's grasp.
Seth groaned and stretched, opening his eyes. He turned his gaze toward her and smirked, "Morning." He pushed himself up on his elbows and looked at her.
Marilee pulled the sheet tighter around her body with shaking fingers, "M-morning."
Seth chuckled at her modesty, "No need to play shy now babe, I've already seen it all."
Marilee felt her cheeks grow hot as she clasped her hands over her face in embarrassment. "Oh no, what the hell was I thinking?"
"You certainly weren't complaining last night." She felt the bed shift as Seth got out of bed. "Quite the contrary."
Marilee groaned and dropped her hands, just to quickly bring them back up to her eyes to shield them from the sight of Seth's naked frame as he made his way toward the bathroom. She dropped her hands when the bathroom door closed.
She flopped back against the pillows, fighting back the tears that wanted to fall from her eyes. What had she been thinking? She had never done something so reckless, so stupid.
After a few moments the door opened and Seth stepped out in a pair of boxer shorts and sat on the spare bed. She could feel her cheeks burning as she tried to wrap her head around her current predicament.
She heard Seth chuckle once again, "I don't see what all the fuss is about."
"Seth I literally just split up with my boyfriend last night and I had a drunken hook up with my coworker. That is fucking humiliating."
"Ouch, don't spare my feelings at all McCoy." He replied sarcastically.
Marilee sighed, "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that Seth. There is nothing wrong with you… it's just the entire situation."
"I know there is nothing wrong with me. The way you were moaning my name last night was more than enough proof of that."
Marilee huffed in indignation and flopped back against the pillows. "Ugh, can you take this seriously for just two minutes,please?"
"Alright, alright. I don't see what the big deal is. We are two grown adults who had a good time."
Marilee sucked in a deep breath in an attempt to calm her frazzled nerves. She had never done anything like this before.
"You were upset, you needed some comfort and I was more than happy to provide a distraction for you. As a matter of fact, If you would like to do this again - I am perfectly fine with that."
"Seth, last night was a mistake, okay. We are coworkers. We should keep things professional. I appreciate your part in comforting me after what happened, but I think we need to forget this ever happened. I am in no place to get into anything right now. I JUST ended my relationship."
"I'm not talking about any kind of commitment, Lee. Just a good time when you think you need it. No strings attached."
Marilee shook her head. "Thanks for the offer, Seth but, like I said. . . I think it's better off we forget this happened. Marilee slid out of the bed and collected her panties off of the floor and slid them on. She grabbed her bra and her fishnet stockings.
Seth shrugged his shoulders, "Suit yourself. I'm going to take a shower. If you want you can hang around for breakfast."
Marilee shook her head, "I think it is better that I leave. Thank you though."
Seth nodded, "See ya later, McCoy." He smirked and got up and headed into the bathroom once again.
Marilee quickly grabbed her remaining articles of clothing. After dressing and fixing her hair she snuck, as stealthy as possible, out of the hotel and hailed a Taxi.

Marilee sat in a chair across from Charly Caruso. One of the stage hands was attaching a microphone to her black & white fade, high-low, sleeveless blouse. She had opted to pair the bold top with a simple pair of black leather skinny pants and white pumps. Her hair was down and straight and the glam squad had accented her hazel eyes with a smokey look in blacks, whites and grays. She took a deep breath, calming her nerves before the interview began. She thanked the stage hand once he had the microphone setup. She ran her fingers over her hair one last time to make sure it was perfect before the camera started rolling.
Charly introduced Marilee as her guest while Marilee smiled pleasantly at the camera.
"So, Marilee - you just returned from a pretty serious shoulder injury. How does it feel to be back?"
"Honestly Charly it feels absolutely amazing. I was miserable sitting at home doing therapy. I couldn't wait to get back."
"Now that you are back - do you have any goals you want to achieve, maybe challenge for the women's championship?"
"I know everyone says they want to win a title when they return. I mean, that is why we are all here right? But, the truth is - as much as I would love to be champion someday, that isn't my goal right now. I have some unfinished business I want to settle first"
"Does this unfinished business have anything to do with you going out to help Sasha and Bayley on Raw?"
Marilee smirked and shrugged her shoulders, "Sometimes a girl just has to make a statement… and I think mine got through loud and clear." She stood up from her chair and smiled at Charly. "Thank you for the interview Charly. I hate to cut this short but, I have some business I need to attend too." She disconnected the microphone and set it down on the chair. She gave Charly one more sweet smile over her shoulder before walking away to end the segment.

Marilee didn't bother to knock as she stormed into Stephanie McMahon's office. Mick Foley was standing alone in the office, phone to his ear. He looked wide-eyed at the brunette and quickly said his goodbyes before ending the call and stuffing the phone in the pocket of his sweatpants.
"Marilee - "
"Where' Stephanie?" Marilee cut him off, looking around the room.
"Marilee, she isn't here yet. She is running late and I would say you are pretty lucky that's the case. I doubt she would pleased about you barging into her office"
Marilee scoffed. "I don't care. I have something very important to discuss with her."
Mick sighed, "Look Marilee. I like you. You're amazing at what you do - one of the best this women's division has to offer. You need to be careful. The division needs you more than you need your revenge on Stephanie for dumping you after your injury."
Marilee took a step closer to Mick and narrowed her eyes, "Mick you're a legend and you might know the business but, you don't know me or what I need."
Mick nodded his head in response.
"Now when Stephanie gets here will you please let her know I was looking for her." Marilee didn't wait for him to reply. She spun on her heel and walked out of the room, slamming it shut behind her to end the segment.

Marilee was happy to get to her hotel room. She was exhausted and had a two hour drive the next morning to get to Chicago for Monday Night RAW.
After a hot shower, she changed into a pair of black pajama bottoms and a black t-shirt. She climbed into the bed. She had booked a single hotel room. Many of the wrestlers liked to share and split the cost but, after the events of the last week she wanted to be alone.
She frowned when her phone chimed. She wasn't expecting a message from anyone. She thought of ignoring it and answering in the morning but, curiosity got the better of her. She grabbed it off of the nightstand and opened the text message from Seth.
Watched the show. Good job.
She dragged her lip between her teeth. She quickly responded with a quick thank you with a smiley face emoji before putting her phone back on the nightstand.
She appreciated the sentiment. It was always nice to have your work praised. However she wasn't looking to have any more interaction with Seth Rollins. After what had transpired between them - she thought it best she kept her distance.
She switched off the light and laid down. Hoping she could get a few hours sleep before she had to get back on the road.
