Chapter 20 - Re-Arrange Again
Blue eyes looked at the reflection in the mirror. The black barely there shorts had front and back pockets and a black belt around it with the black sleeveless half shirt and the back knee high wrestling boots completed the whole outfit. Her raven hair was full of spiral curls as it hung past her waist. She hadn't taped up her wrists yet; Roman had taken to doing it for her because he wanted to make sure it was done properly. Like she suddenly forgot. She looked once more in the mirror.
Avery couldn't believe it had been a year since she'd moved in with Roman. Everything had changed that day when he pulled into the drive way of the unfamiliar house that the two of them would call home. It had taken just under 6 months for Avery to get fully healed after her physical therapy. She'd gotten right back into the ring and started kicking ass and could've have been happier to be back on the road with the boys and Evie; most of all she was happy about being back on the road with Roman.
All of her down time left her the task of getting the house set up for both of them. She and Roman worked hard to make it their home. He could put in his 2 cents from the road, but once he was home he helped as much as he possibly could. They agreed they would leave two of the spare rooms as possible 'baby rooms'. The other two spare rooms were made into themed guest rooms. One was a coco-cola room, red and white all over the joint and the second was beach themed complete with surf board wall paper. Roman was still trying to figure out where she found that.
Roman and Seth were still Tag Team Champions and Dean had somehow managed to keep his US Title as well. Kaitlyn would be competing in her last match tonight for a while. She and Seth had gotten married 3 days ago and were embarking on a nice honeymoon in Hawaii. They were both being written out with injuries.
Dean and Evie were still going strong and had actually eloped 3 months ago when the WWE were in Vegas. How fitting. Evie was still valeting the boys and kicking the shit out of them when the three of them needed it; though Dean did tend to take his punishment a little better in the bedroom and damned if Evie wasn't willing to give it to him harder there as well.
As for Avery; she sighed and looked at herself once more in the mirror before she picked up the Diva's title and polished it with the special rag that she'd gotten when she'd won it 4 months ago. She enjoyed having the title and carrying it and more importantly defending it, but tonight; tonight she would be losing it. She was dropping it to Brie Bella. She finished polishing the belt and hung it over her arm as she grabbed her elbow pads and the black tape and headed down to the 'Shield's' locker room. She knocked on the door and watched as Dean opened the door slightly and stuck his head out; before he screamed at the top of his lungs like a girl and slammed the door in her face.
Avery crossed her arms over her chest and fixed a stink eye look on her face and could hear chuckling behind the closed door. She watched as the door opened a second time revealing Roman with a beautiful smirk on his face. He leaned down and captured her lips. She definitely wasn't complaining as she felt him take her belt and wrapped his arm around her waist and gently lifted her up. She giggled against his lips and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and her legs around his waist.
Roman walked back into the room as he closed the door behind him, he tossed her Diva's belt in the air and since it didn't hit the floor he knew someone caught it. He pushed Avery's back against the closed dressing room door as their kiss broke and they were both panting heavily. "I missed you." Roman rumbled against her lips.
Avery shook her head. "I only left for 20 minutes big guy. I just had to get ready for my match." Her hands gently played with the ponytail at the nape of his neck as she smiled softly before kissing him softly on the lips. "But I'm definitely NOT complaining about the 'I miss you' kiss I just got; nope definitely not complaining." She smiled softly before Roman captured her lips once again.
All four pairs of eyes watched as Roman carried Avery into the bathroom before he kicked the door closed and locked it. Seth chuckled. "I hope no one had to piss."
Kaitlyn shook her head. "Yea apparently Evie and I will be going to the ladies room at the end of the hallway."
Evie shook her head. "I'm not walking all the way down to the end of the hallway when the men's room; naturally is right across from the dressing room." Evie glared at the closed bathroom door. "Last time they were in the damn bathroom doing whatever it is they like to do in there; I nearly peed my pants like a toddler who had too many juice boxes because I had to trek half way across the arena. I'm not doing that again."
Dean smirked as he leaned down and kissed the top of Evie's head. "Yea well babe, if you wouldn't wait until you were absolutely ready to flood the dressing room you wouldn't have almost pissed yourself."
Evie planted her hands on her lips. "Are you on my side or someone else's Mr. Ambrose?" She asked with a glare to her husband.
Dean chuckled as he held up his hands. "You're baby; always yours Mrs. Ambrose." His arms shot out and wrapped around her as he lifted and tossed her over his shoulder as he nodded at Seth and jerked his head towards the door; before walking out to go to catering.
Seth looked back at the closed door before taking Kaitlyn's hand in his own and pulled her to her feet. "C'mon Mrs. Rollins, We need to leave our friends alone and get some lunch into us before the show starts in 20 minutes."
Kaitlyn smiled back as she pushed up on her toes and placed a sweet kiss on his lips. "Anything you say Mr. Rollins." She let him lead her out of the room to leave their friends to have a private moment.
Roman smoothed his muscle shirt over his chest and tucked it into his black cargo pants as he watched Avery getting her wrestling shorts back on. For some reason the bathrooms in the arenas seemed to be the one place they could hide away from everyone; hotel rooms not so much because the fans had gotten craftier as of late and were actually starting to camp out near their actual rooms. Roman moved over and kissed her bare shoulders before he pulled her bra straps up. "Why are we always more comfortable at the arena than the hotel? At least we have a bed there." He chuckled.
"Because you're scared those little fan-girls of yours are going to be camped outside of our hotel room and hear you having an orgasm as you scream 'I'm cumming baby'." Avery laughed as she pulled her top back on before she stole Roman's rubber band from his ponytail and used it to pull her hair up into a high ponytail. "You won't need it until after your match and shower." She smirked as he chuckled again before he leaned down and captured her lips again.
"What a mouth." Roman commented and complimented at the same time.
"Admit it you want to make all their masturbating dreams come true." Avery teased. Avery squeal as Roman picked her up and spun her in a circle before he put her back on her feet facing him. "I gotta go baby, my match is in 20 and I need to stretch." She winked up at him.
"Liar…" He mumbled against her lips. "I already got you stretched out just right." It was his turn to tease and it worked as he chuckled when she blushed furiously and slapped his chest. His thunderous laugh from his chest echoed through the bathroom and into the dressing room as they emerged and saw their friends were back and also brought food for Roman He kissed her once more. "I love you baby."
"I love you too…"
Forty-five minutes later…
1…2…3…The referee's hand bounced off the matt as Brie Bella covered Avery for the pin fall and win; she jumped up and bounced around the ring with her twin as Nikki fastened the Diva's championship around her twins' waist. They showboated a while before they excited the ring.
The ref walked over and checked on Avery like they always do just for show. Avery was perfectly fine. She would be a little sore like she always was after a match, but she'd live to whoop some ass another day. She slowly stood up as she pulled Roman's rubber band from her hair, letting her thick raven hair loose and hoping she wouldn't get a headache from keeping it up during her match. Her head snapped up as the Shield's music started blasting through the speakers as the fans pop hard and loud for the trio of men and their valet. Avery let a look of question come across her face because she couldn't imagine what was going on.
Grey eyes watched at the top of the arena stairs. He could see the questioning look on her face as she walked over and leaned against the corner turnbuckle. He felt Seth and Dean bump his shoulders with their fists as the foursome started to descend the stairs towards the ring.
Avery could see Roman's thick wet hair swaying in his face as he made his way towards the ring. She couldn't imagine what was going on. Her blue eyes watched in fascination as Roman gripped the barricade and hopped over it as if it weren't even there and landed solidly on both feet. The trio and Evie circled the ring. Her blue eyes danced around as she watched the four of them. She watched as Roman stood on the outside ring apron as his grey orbs locked with hers and as he leaned down and stepped into the ring his eyes never left hers for a second. He straightened back up and shimmied his shoulders a little as he moved over and snapped his fingers demanding a microphone. Now Avery was more curious than ever as she narrowed her eyes at him.
Roman's tongue came out and licked his top lip like always as he brought the microphone to his mouth. "Hey I got something to say." He smirked. "It's no surprise to anyone inside the WWE or outside of the WWE that I've been dating this beautiful woman in the ring with me for almost two years now. She's seen me at my worst and kicked my ass through it; she's been the one thing that is consistent in my life, next to my family and the three people on the outside of the ring right now. Now I think – No I KNOW- I'm ready to make her a permanent fixture in my life – for the rest of my life."
Avery's blue eyes widened as Roman smiled an actually beautiful white toothy smile before he knelt down on his left knee and dug in the side pocket of his cargo pants and pulled out a black velvet box and lifted the lid slowly. He held out his right hand and beckoned her to come closer. Avery had to force her legs to work as she walked over and his right hand took her left. Her head snapped around as Seth, Dean and Evie got in the ring. Evie held the microphone to Roman's mouth.
"Avery Michaelson, will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Roman asked softly.
Avery blinked as tears slid down her cheeks. Avery nodded.
Roman chuckled. "What? I didn't quite here that?"
"Yes…YES!" She watched as Roman placed the three stone diamond ring on her finger – the middle stone was a blue diamond and all three stones were set on a silver band. He knew she hated gold jewelry. She laughed hard as Roman stood up and did his triple power bomb roar before she jumped into his arms and he swung her around in circles.
Roman stopped setting Avery on her feet gently as he cupped her cheeks as he placed feather light kisses all over her face. "You're really sure about this right? There's no going back anymore." Roman watched as Avery nodded as more tears leaked from her eyes; feeling Roman wipe the tears away with his thumbs.
"I re-arranged my life once already; for you I will re-arrange it again and again."
The End
