Chapter 14 // I can kick ass and take names.

 Tama had dropped his beer on the floor, shockingly surprised , he hugged me tightly. He grabbed my bags and brought me in as fast as he could. 

"I can't believe you're here." He said. "Mel might cry."

"I know, I haven't seen you or her since that day I brought you two back together."

"I will never begin to repay you for that."

"You don't have to. Her happiness is my payment." I said smiling. 

Mel came inside. 

"Oh my god!" She said. "Are you really here?"

"Yeah, I am. I have a 3 week break and I needed to see you."

"Oh my god, I missed you so much." She said running into my arms.

"I missed you too bitch." I said laughing, almost nearly crying. "These two are my guards, Max and Charlie." 

"Oh its good to meet you both." Both Tama and Mel said. 

"Why don't you come out and meet everyone?"

"I would love to." I said smiling. 

Max and Charlie had walked around the outside securing the house while I walked out to the patio. There was someone there that was gorgeous, hot and holy shit , almost made me cum right then and there. 

"Sis. This is Chase Owens and Jay White." I said smiling at them both. 

"Hi fellas."

I sat down onto the chair as I began to look at Jay. 

"Hey T." I said smiling.

"LC! How are you?" 

"Good , just on a 3 week break." I said. 

"You came here to see us on that break?" He asked questioning. 

"It was more like a mental break from filming."

"How is that by the way?"

"Well its been very intense lately."

Jay looked at me with a seductive look and I wanted to melt. 

"Also doesn't help this guy was also trying to get up on me while I kept telling him no." 

"I mean, I see why." Jay finally spoke to me. 

"What do you mean?"

"You're gorgeous, sexy, and the total package. You kick ass, you make your own living and don't give a fuck who likes it or not. You make sure you do you and I like that." He said in his seductive accent. 

"Oh well thank you." 

"Plus I seen your movies." I blushed and thought shit what if he saw 50 shades? 

I got up and began to walk by the pool, he got up and spun me around while Tama pushed us in the pool. 

"What the hell?" I asked him laughing. 

 I had gotten out and dried off, headed inside and upstairs to change out of the wet clothes. Jay was following me upstairs to dry off his hair, but I couldn't help myself.. I left the door slightly open and changed out of my bra and into an oversized t-shirt and shorts. 

"Hey bitch." Mel said. 

"Hey, dinner is done." 

"Okay, I am coming down."

After everyone got situated, I sat next to Jay this time around. 

"So LC, do you want to valet the boys tomorrow night for their championship match?"

"Hell yeah." I said smiling.

Jay winked at me as I laughed. 

"I hope I have a good outfit to wear and maybe distract a few wrestlers." I said biting into my burger. 

"Okay, why don't you two just get a fucking room?" T said laughing. 

"He isn't wrong, you two have been eye fucking each other since you two met." 

After dinner and everything wound down, I had to get some sleep since my whole time frame is off. 

"Heading to bed?" Mel asked.

"Yeah, I should get some sleep because my whole time frame is off." 

"Okay sounds good, I am glad you're here." She said. 

"Me too, love you sis." 

I had gotten ready that night for bed as I stretched my muscles and snuggled into the bed. Charlie and Max had been in the guest house most of the day.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That evening had come, it was getting closer to the time for everyone to start going to the arena. I had my temp checked, I decided to change in the BC locker room. 

My outfit:

 I laced up my boots and smiled. I looked hot, I just hoped it will distract the opponents tonight. 

"Well?" I asked them sitting in the locker room.

"Fuck me." Chase said. 

"Hey! Don't make me kick your ass for saying that." Jay said to him. 

"Its okay handsome." I said smiling while rubbing his arm. 

"You already got my dick hard." He whispered in my ear. 

"Oh then I guess its working." I whispered back. 

GoD, Mel and I had made our way down. Most of everyone were either excited or shocked I had been with them. Jay came down with Gedo and Jado had been with GoD and Mel since joining the BC.  Sanada had been taunting them and about midway through , I decided to get up on the apron and distract them. Long enough for everyone strike them, including Mel with kendo sticks..  After Mel hit them with a low blow, Jay had gotten the upper hand and that was when I had jumped off the apron and back down. Keeping up with Jado and Gedo, we all clapped as well as Mel. 

"Come on!!" I said screaming. 

This was it, the final moments. I legit couldn't look. Mel turned to look at me as they rung the bell. I quickly turned around saw the three of them hugging each other and celebrating with the rest of BC. I got into the ring and hugged Tama and T. Two of my favorite people in this world. Jay was seductive, but T could put on the charm with his looks. 

"I am proud of you T." I said as he looked into my eyes. 

After we headed out and they did their post match comments,  I decided to make Tacos tomorrow , thankfully a small local grocery market is nearby. 

"Hey, why don't we celebrate?" T asked. 

"You know T, I don't think this is a good idea." I said looking at him.

"Everything okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I think I just need to make sure I am okay , mentally wise."

"Okay well I am here if you ever need me." 

After that night was full of surprises, I was starving and it was time to eat some food too. 

"Hey , we are going to cook food." Mel said. 

"No Sushi right?" Tama asked laughing from the last time.

"I will kick you with these boots." I said playing around. 

I rolled my eyes and we went to the store. I grabbed Taco shit, meats, and everything. All of the people were shocked I was even here. 

"LC.. We love you." They said in broken English.

"Aww I love you guys too." I said smiling. 

After taking a few pictures, some signatures and what not, BC headed back home..  What I didn't expect was to find someone lurking around.

Chapter 13 // Good life.

 I had woken up that morning, did I really just dream about Jensen and being married to him? I couldn't help but wonder how much I missed him, but then I realized he was really married to Danneel and how happy they were. I had to shake it, good news was I had a lot of work ahead of me and now I feel like I need a break from it all. Filming for weeks was intense, everyone here needed a small break so we ended up getting the green light to travel again and now they had given us a 2 week break. 

"Okay guys, Shemar asked me to tell everyone have a good 3 week break and come 3 weeks we will be all back on set. Enjoy everyone!"

"What are you planning to do?" David asked me.

"I might go see my sister." 

"Where?" 

"Japan, or Tampa. Depending if she has a show or depending on where she is this week."

"Oh well be careful." He said trying to kiss me.

"We have been through this David. I like you, but I am not even there in my right mind yet."

"David, she needs time." Lina said. 

"Okay but still." He said. 

"Dude, not now. I just got out of a relationship with men who I thought loved me, but couldn't figure out how not to use their dicks instead of talking it out like a real man." 

I headed out with  Lina as we got home. 

"I need to pack." I said rushing upstairs.

"Are you packing?" Lina asked. "Or Running?"

"Yeah, you're not the only one who needs a break." I said smiling. "I am heading to Japan to see my sister." 

"Well I hope you enjoy it. I know you could use one after the intense filming the past few weeks." 

"Thank you Lina for being so amazing." I said smiling. 

"Good luck." She said as I hugged her. 

I had gotten the only seat on the flights, I knew I had an hour layover at NYC. Lina had taken me to LAX, traffic was light and was quicker than I expected. 

"Thank you for taking me, I appreciate it."

"Trust me, roomie, I will pick you up too. Have fun in Japan." She said. 

"I will call you when I land." I said. 

"Sounds good, take pictures!"

"Of course." I said laughing. 

I walked into LAX and headed through screenings and security. Everyone had been following me through the airport, I had wanted to keep my profile low so airport security had everyone stop following me while I ran to the gate. With minutes to spare, I had arrived at the gate and boarded the flight. 

"Finally." I sighed as I put the baggage up top with the help of everyone. 

I sat down and stuck my seat belt on and was finally ready. 

"Good Afternoon, how are you today?" The gentleman on the next aisle said.

"Okay thank you." I said. 

I felt a tap and was relieved that my security team had shown up. 

"Thought you were leaving without us?" They said as I laughed. 

"Not a chance." I said. 

"That woman, is a total bitch." The man said. 

"Watch your mouth."  Max said with Charlie getting up.

"Is this man bothering you?"

"No , he is just attempting to hit on me." I said laughing. 

After a few minutes , we had taken off, they gave us food and of course everything else for free since this was first class. This was going to be a long day. After 5 hours of flying, we had finally arrived in NYC. Of course a lot of planes flying in and out since a lot of us had been vaccinated. We only had an hour to get to the next gate. Both Max and Charlie had grabbed my bags and headed right to the gate. They held the plane for us and thankfully the people were okay with waiting a few minutes. After boarding another plane, I was tired as hell again and I had to sleep. This was a longer flight, about 14 hours worth. 14 hours later, we finally landed in Haneda International Airport. 

"Are you doing okay?" Max asked. 

"I am so tired of flying." I said sighing. 

"Its over with the flying." Charlie said.

"Thank you both."

"For?" They both asked at the same time.

"Coming with me and making sure I was okay."

"Trust me, Dany pays us for a reason and this is one of them."

I smiled as we headed through the airport, my tired eyes and what not. I headed into the ladies room to freshen up a bit, add some fresh makeup on and decided to add some extra stuff. I changed my shirt and kept my leggings on. 

My outfit:

 

"Ready?" I asked them.

"Yep." They said as we got a car to pick us up. 

They not only had their bags, but also said they would carry mine as well. We got in and headed out to where they lived about 20 minutes near the airport. It was early in the morning in USA and later in the evening here in Japan. Traffic had picked up and the best part is that they didn't have a show tonight.

"I am so damn excited to see my sister." I said smiling. 

"You think she will be shocked as hell?"

"Shocked? Lets say she might go nuts." 

As we pulled up, I saw the lights on and music going. They were having a party? I wondered that was about. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mel's POV:

I walked around the house and got everything together. I heard everyone chatting about my sister's new show and how much they loved it, but also how much they loved being here in Japan, working for a company who protects us and makes sure we are well taken care of. I was cooking the food for everyone when I heard the doorbell rang. 

"Tama!" I said. 

"Yeah love?" 

"Can you get the door?"

"Sure thing my love." He said kissing my cheek and running inside to get the door.. 

"Uh Mel? Can you come in here for a minute?" He said as I pulled Chase on cooking duties.  

I rolled my eyes and saw Jay sitting alone by the pool.. I walked into the house. 

Chapter 12 // I like me better when I am with you. I knew from the first time, I knew for a long time.

 I had woken up that next morning with a huge hangover, I had tossed over to land on someone. Holy fuck what in the world happened last night? I looked up and saw it was Jensen. Holy shit, what the fuck did I do? 

"Where are you going beautiful?" He asked me.

"To the bathroom, gotta pee." I said getting up. 

"We should really shower and get some breakfast. " 

"I think we should. I am starving." I said. "Plus I am so hungover."

"Oh my god, don't even get me started." He said. "We drank a lot."

"Um Jensen?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Did we ?" I showed him my hand. 

"Guess we did." He said smiling. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12 HOURS EARLIER:

I had walked up on stage with Jared, Misha and Jensen. I was greeted by each of them then Jensen last. I had been thankful they still loved my character, the bad ass woman with a snarky bitch attitude. 

"Hey everyone!" I said smiling. 

"Wooo!" Lina said with everyone else. 

"LC, do you miss the show since your character was killed off?"

"I do miss it, I miss being a kick butt girl who could kick someones butt , no matter who it was .. I even got a few kicks to Sammy." I said laughing with Jared.

"She did, she could take me down without batting an eyelash."

"What can I say? Wrestling runs in my blood."

After a few minutes left of questions, we headed to the back. Jensen was about to do his singing, but as for me, I was getting ready to leave until he stopped me. 

"Sing with me." He said. "Please? I miss you."

Jensen started to sing his songs as he roped me into it.  After about 4 songs, we had finished the convention while saying our goodbyes to the fans who attended.

"Why do you do this to me?" I asked him.

"Because I missed you." 

"I uh.." 

"Just tell me. You miss me." 

"Yeah I do, I also miss Misha and Jared too."

"But you miss me more." 

"Fine." I said smiling. "I miss you and that manly dick of yours."

After the convention all of us headed out to the casino's , dinner and a lot of gambling.

"Oh my god, this is amazing!" I said. 

"Oh my good luck charm. "He whispered in my ear. 

"What can I say? I have it." 

"You have a lot more than that." He said to me. 

"4 years no call, now I am looking pretty in a hotel bar." I said giggling.

I drank a little more as we decided to break from everyone else, Jensen and I headed down the road and ended up landing in front of something. 

"What does that song say? We ain't never getting older , so baby pull me closer and never let me go." He said as he kissed me in front of the fans and everyone. 

They began to chase us and we took cover, but the one place I never thought I'd be in again and or even remotely near. The last time I had been in this position was the moment my ex had dumped me on the steps of the church. 

"Um.." I said to him. 

"Why not?"

"You know what kind of shit we would be in?"

"Wouldn't it be fun?" He asked me. 

"Plus, I know what kind of shit these men put you in and you and I both know I would never do that to you." 

"I do like me better when I am with you." I said. 

 After a few more drinks, I ended up doing something I knew I wouldn't forget and if I ended up getting into trouble, well I hoped no one would blame me.  After we did it, I ended up calling Jared and Misha, by then the crowd had left and we ended up running back to the hotel room. By then I pushed him onto the bed and made love to him as anyone would want to.  

"Oh god, you do that so well." I said breathing in and out. 

"Honey, there ain't no one like me."

"God, I forgot how good you make my orgasms feel."

"Its the Winchester Fantasy baby." 

I had gotten phone calls left and right. I ended up turning it off and began to fuck him so hard that the other floors could hear us. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PRESENT TIME:

I walked into the shower, the ring wasn't real, but it was a hair band as my ring as for now. 

"Lets get you a real ring today."

"Do you think maybe I should take Ackles?"

"Baby, you don't need permission to do something."

"I will have to remember that." 

After a hot shower with Jensen, the news buzzed about me and Jensen getting married. Dany had called me about a billion times, Dwayne wasn't too thrilled either with me and well Mel , lets just say her text was like a wtf I couldn't get a damn invite? I had contacted Jared, Misha, Lina and the others to meet us for breakfast downstairs. 

My outfit:

I had put my pants on and ended up looking hotter than ever. 

"You know, if you weren't my wife now, I would ask you to marry me."

"Oh really? Well maybe eventually we can have a real wedding." 

"I think I would die if I see you in a white beautiful dress. I would cry." 

I laughed as we headed down to the hotel restaurant, Dany had rushed in while we all had began to sit down. 

"LC, there you are. Are you okay?" She asked. 

"I am fantastic. I am happy now and felt safe." 

"Okay, need to make sure you know what you're doing."

"Well.. I know I feel safer than ever before."

"Okay good, are you taking Ackles name?"

"Yeah, Lauryn Ackles is good."Jensen sat there approving of it.

"Plus her mom or anyone for that matter will never hurt her again. I can promise that." 

"GOOD, Keep that promise please."

After we ate breakfast, we headed to the mall. Lina had to get some cute outfits while I had to get some extra hot everything. 

"Oh my god, LC?" I heard someone ask. 

"Ryan, what are you doing here?" I asked him. 

"I came to find you. I want you back."

"Uh , sorry asshole. I am Mrs. Lauryn Ackles now." Jensen walked up to him. 

"Sorry, she is taken and married."

"What the fuck bitch? You married this old fucking ass?"

"Old? You touch him and you will find yourself in a world of hurt, do you hear me?!" I asked him loudly. "Also tell everyone here that you drugged my drink to seduce me and then you got me fired from a part." 

Lina wanted to punch him and Jared, Misha and everyone else got into his face. Dany slapped the suit on him so fast. Jensen grabbed my hand and led me to the ring store. 

My rings:

His ring:

Now felt the first time I had ever felt the love anyone has given me. I just hoped that maybe David wasn't upset at me. He was a sweetheart,  but my heart wasn't into it. After a while of shopping, we had grabbed our bags and headed back to the hotel. News reports that I had gotten married to Jensen , E news was all over it and needed comments with the two of us. 

"I can't believe it."

"You okay my love?" He asked.

"Yeah, I can't believe it that you and I are married now. 2 years of knowing each other and we ended it, not knowing we would ever see each other then boom, we fall right back into each other in one minute."

"Well, now you're mine for life." 

"Only way I will have it." I said smiling. 

"So when I am not filming in LA and you in Toronto, I think I might move to Texas? Unless you want to live in LA with me."

"I think we should go back to Texas. Especially because Jared is there." 

"You got it my love." I said smiling. 

I ended up face timing Mel while she was training, she was planning to rejoin Tama in Japan soon. 

"Look." I showed her my rings. 

"Oh my god, hold on, you got married?" She asked me

"Yeah, I got married to the most amazing and handsome man ever."

"Wow, that would be something I would pull." I laughed . "Gotta go, love you bitch." 

"Okay Jerk." I said laughing as we hung up.

After a few minutes of hanging out and making arrangements for my permanent life, we all had gone back to the hotel rooms.. As soon as I opened the door, I looked at Jensen and that was when the unexpected visitor was there..

Chapter 11 // Power is Power, now watch me burn it down.

 It has been a week or two since our mother tried sending us letters, but it wouldn't stop there. It has been hell of a week, with two weeks worth of filming done, I finally was able to relax. Our mother had begun to make threats, not only both physically, but threatening our careers. Dwayne stepped up and told her to never talk to us again, but this was only the beginning. 

"You okay?" Lina asked.

"Yeah, just things with my mom, damn I feel like Jim Street." David chuckled. 

"You are funny." Alex said laughing. 

"Well I try?" I said shrugging. 

"Seriously, how are you holding up?"

"My mom is threatening us, if we don't pay her, we won't have careers still? I don't know, but my brother even got involved."

"Do you need a place to stay? Lina asked.

"No I am good here. I might even go to Vegas to take a break from filming when everyone goes on break. Now we still have to wear masks, but damn I will be glad when everyone gets back to some normalcy."

"Good news is, its basically started to." Alex said. 

"Well I technically don't start filming until next week, you can go soon if you want."

"Hell yeah."I called up Mel and told her I was going to Vegas , under my old name, Catherine Collins.

"Dammit, you going to Vegas without me?" She asked me. 

"Yeah, well I have to take a break, for my mental health."

"What about our mother?"

 "Bro is coming with me." 

 "You going to be okay?" David asked.

"Yeah, I will be. I like you David, but right now I have to get my head and my heart back on straight."

"I understand, just do what you have to do. Hopefully in the future there is room for us."

I packed for the weekend, one last trip before I filmed for a while. Lina ended up coming with me and Mel couldn't come, but Lina made sure they knew she had to come with me. 

"Ready?" She asked. 

"Yeah, thanks for coming with me."

"No problem. Dwayne is coming too?" She asked me. 

"Not anymore, but its you and me with my team."

"Sounds good." 

"Watch out for her." Alex and Shemar said. 

"Will do." 

My outfit:

I grabbed my big bag with lots of clothes and my makeup. I ended up cutting my hair shoulder length. 

"I love it, now lets go." She said laughing. 

"Not too ugly?"

"No, you and ugly will never mix." 

I laughed as my team , Lina and I headed onto the road. 

"Our flight leaves in 2 hours, we are leaving so early." Max said.

"Well, we wanna eat." Lina said.

"Oh yeah, we are always hungry." I said laughing.

After getting to the airport, we headed through the terminal. I had gotten a weird text from someone I haven't talked to in a long time. 

"You okay?" Max asked.

"Yeah, I am." I smiled. 

I heard people talking about Supernatural conference in Vegas. 

"Excuse me, you're talking about the Supernatural convention?" I asked them.

"Yeah, I love Jared , Misha and Jensen." The girl said. "Are you a fan?"

"I used to be on the show, seasons 5 and 6." 

"Oh my god. LC?" They asked. 

"Hey." I said smiling at them. "This is Lina, one of my co-stars on Swat." 

"I am such a huge fan of yours, the fact they had to kill you off?"

"I am not mad.." I gave them each of them signatures, even Lina gave them some since they liked her beauty and her friendliness. 

After it was time to board, we headed to first class. All of us, my team in one row while Lina and I were behind them. After we took off, it was only 30 minute plane ride. Since most of everything had gone back to some normalcy, it was getting busier on the planes and the airports. We had landed finally and grabbed our stuff from the overhead compartments. 

"Oh my god, its LC. " I heard whispers as everyone started to crowd up. 

I headed out with Lina and into an SUV. 

"God, I am so excited to gamble." 

Max had gotten us some hotel rooms next to each other. Tonight was the Supernatural convention and I ended up getting a ticket left the front desk by someone. 

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so." I said smiling. 

"Its the phone call, wasn't it?"

I handed her the second ticket as I smiled. 

"You need to freshen up?"

"Yeah, just gotta put some fresh makeup and some jeans on and some cute shoes.." I looked at my shirt and quickly put on something else.

I had put some fresh stuff on, I had ended up going down just in time to take my seat. Lina sat down beside me in the corner of it, but to what was going to happen, it was something different.

"Welcome everyone!" The man said. 

Everyone came out, Misha Collins, Jared Padalecki then the one man I had avoided for a while was coming out next.. 

"Last but not least, Jensen Fucking Ackles!" Jared said looking at me. 

I ended up clapping as he saw me from the corner of his eye. 

"Everyone give it up for LC Johnson!" Misha said as the spotlight came on me. 

I got up and waved at everyone. 

"Come up here!" Jared said as I shrugged my arms and headed up the stairs. 

I waved and smiled at everyone. 

"Hey guys!" I said hugging everyone. 

I looked at him and knew I would turn back into a puddle. I had to be strong, but then something was about to happen that no one even expected..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mel's POV:

I had been training all day, it had been a little rough for me since Tama and the boys had been in Japan for a bit. I missed him and I knew soon I will be back with the boys. I had hoped LC was behaving, but we all know she was in Vegas hanging out with Lina and the team. Now I just hoped she didn't do anything stupid... until the one moment I get a phone call from her agent and our ex sister-in-law Dany. Just what happened?

Chapter 10 // Moonlight

 After the wrap of the movie months later, I had lined myself up with another job. I was joining the show Swat, a weekly show on CBS. Single once again, I had my sights set on just working. Not usually caring about what people thought, all of my exes were trying to ruin me, Ben and now Adam. Dany was all over it and she began to go on the defense as well as my guards. I wasn't looking anymore for love, maybe down the line, but not yet. Most of the people didn't care and didn't like what they were doing to me. 

"Hey. are you ready for this?" Mel asked me, who has been by my side through all of this. 

"Yeah, ready to get on with my life and what not." 

"You got this." 

"Thank you for being my makeup and hair and so much more."

"Bitch, I love you. I am going to be here regardless."

"You know I am so surprised that you and Tama are better than ever."

"Trust me. I am too, he's more romantic now."

"Really?"

"Yeah. He is a lot more tentative now." 

I got dressed quickly and finished getting ready for my day of table reading. 

My outfit:

I put my heels on and headed to the car. I had to make myself look presentable and on top that, make a damn good impression. 

"Ready?"

"Yeah."

"You look hot sis. They will love you."

"I hope so ."

Our security team had came with us, dropping me and one guy with me, Mel headed to the NJPW dojo here in LA.  Leo had gone to Japan with his brothers, for me, I thought I'd never find love again. 

"Hey, this is LC." Aaron said introducing me to everyone. 

"LC, how are you?" Lina asked me hugging me.

"Good, how are you?" I asked her puzzled. 

"I haven't seen you since that party in NYC." 

"Oh! You were the one who tried to warn me about the drink.."

"Yeah, I tried and you ended up downing it anyways."

"That wasn't the best night ever. I really appreciate the fact you tried to warn me."

"Well we have to stick together."

I smiled at her and I hoped we could become friends. 

"I am David, this is Alex, Shemar, Jay and Patrick."

"Wow, the only 2 females in here." I said looking at Lina. 

"Yeah, just you wait." She said causing me to giggle. 

I sat down next to David and Lina. I had gotten comfortable as we began to read. One person was missing was the guy I had replaced on the team. Kenny's character had been killed in Germany while on assignment and now my character had gone from patrol to Swat. 

"So before we begin the table read, we have a newcomer to the squad. Lauryn "LC" Johnson. Do you want to tell us about yourself?" Aaron said. 

"Okay sure. I guess?" I said as everyone giggled. 

"You got this." David said as I stood up.

"I am Lauryn Johnson, everyone who knows me calls me Laur or LC. I was in movies for a while and part of a TV show until the main character had me fired for no reason. I was a wrestler for the WWE , I am related to the Rock. I guess that's all?"

I sat back down and everyone whispered. 

"Welcome LC." They all said as I smiled.

 We got started as the first episode was done, I knew being here was the right choice and I hoped to make them realize I was someone they should keep. A few hours later, we finished up. Today was a good day, my house had been perfect so far and now I made some new friends. 

"Hey, want to hang out later?" Lina asked. 

"Hell yeah, will they allow it since we are in lock down again?"

"Yeah, I think its like only 10 people or less."

"I can grill and hit the pool, we have an amazing pool at my rental."

"Oh good. I believe we are going to be good friends." She said smiling. 

"Hey , you guys are hanging out?"

"Yeah." 

"How about I bring my girlfriend and we can all hang?"

"BBQ!" Lina said smiling. 

 I laughed. 

"Except I don't have a barbecue grill." I said shrugging.

"I have a portable one, we can always use mine." Alex said in his Aussie kind of voice. 

"That would be awesome. Bring your girlfriend, make it a party?"

"Well we can't have too many people, but that would be awesome."

I smiled as I looked at David. He smiled widely as I had to focus on this show and not falling for anyone.. 

"Hey sis." Mel said on the phone. 

"Hey sis, are you okay?" 

"Yeah, I finished the dojo a little early and headed back for a shower. How did the reading go?"

"Excellent, a few of the cast members are coming over with their girlfriends and wives."

"Ooo like a mini BBQ?" 

"Yeah, but anyways, I am with Elliot and we are going to stop at the store." 

"Sounds good, I will get plates and the chips out."

After we hung up, I had stopped at the store and got everything. I hated wearing masks, but right now we had to do our parts in this. I ended up grabbing a lot of stuff, including a lot of drinks, just in case if someone wanted water, beer, wine and everything else. 

"Okay so I think we are good now." I said. 

"You sure?"

"Yeah , I think so." 

As soon as we got home, Mel was there with everything ready and everyone was just coming in. Jay had stayed home with his wife and Alex came over with his girlfriend Diana. Shemar and David swung by with Lina. David rushed out to help me with the bags as he helped me carry them in. 

"Thank you." I said as I smiled. 

"Any time." He put the stuff away and put out some chips. 

"This looks amazing."

"My mom's recipe , homemade chicken wings and homemade potato salad with the extra tint of something in it. Can't tell you what, but you will know as soon as you taste it." He said. 

"Well I am hungry and I need a taste now." I said laughing. 

"I won't tell if you don't." He smiled. 

 I put my fork in the potato salad and put it right in my mouth. 

"Oh my god." 

"See?"

"Wait, you put paprika in it?" 

"Among other things." I smiled as he took the dish away. 

"Dammit, I want more." He laughed and shook his head. 

Alex set up the grill and the charcoal and I headed upstairs to change into my bikini. 

My suit:

"Hey Lina?" I asked calling for her. 

"Yeah! Coming!" She ran up the stairs. 

"How do I look?"

"Wow. You look hot as fuck." She said. 

"Good, I am glad." I turned around. 

She smiled and we headed out of the room and downstairs. 

"Wow." Shemar said. 

"Take a good picture Shemar, it will last a lot longer." I said winking at David while walking past him. 

"God damn." David said. 

I took a dip in the pool. Diana and Lina started to laugh uncontrollably. 

"She has them going nuts." Mel said.

After a fun day and good food, Alex and Diana headed home while Lina helped me clean up with David. Shemar had left about 10 minutes before Alex and his girlfriend. 

"Hey LC, this came for you just now." David said. 

I looked at the envelope, something Mel and I never faced. 

"Everything okay?"Lina asked. 

"Our biological mother." I said to them. 

"Wait, she is alive?"

"Apparently so and wants to meet with us." 

"What in the hell."  Mel said. 

"I know. I am half ass ready to throw this away." 

"Do it sis." Mel said as I nodded. 

I ripped it up and David tossed it in the trash. This wasn't the end of this.

 

Chapter 9 // Halo

 Today was the first meeting of this script, we were making a movie in the mist of the pandemic was harder than I thought. I wanted to know more about my cast mates, unaware that one of my good friends was going to be a part of this. Was there something going through his mind? I had to find out what was happening in his personal life to make him cry in front of me. 

"Hey." I said to him. "Lets talk." 

"About what?" He cleared his eyes. 

"You crying in front of me, you crying in general, which by the way never happened." 

"Well lets just say my now soon to be ex wife cheated on me so I am divorcing her ass."

"I can't believe she would do that to you."

"I know." He said sighing. 

I hugged him so tightly, his arms wrapped around me and his eyes were all on me. 

"Thank you." He said whispering in my ear. 

"Always." I said smiling. 

Everyone came in, I wondered if Ben would be a perfect fit in this. I adored Adam but right now his head is not here. After the bagels and a lot of drinks had came to fuel us up for this reading, Adam had suddenly gotten up and left. I sighed. 

"Why is he leaving?" I asked Jackson.

"He is not in his right mind. His head is not here, I can pretty sure I can find his replacement tomorrow."

"No. I need to talk to him and see if he can still do this first."

"Lets call it a day and we can come back when we have a lead actor." Jackson said.

I ran after Adam , I ran into his arms. 

"You can lean on me."

"Well what you don't know and I have known you for a long time, My now ex wife, has been fucking Ben."

"Oh my god, fucking hell, I knew this would happen to me again."

"Well I just didn't want you going back to him and thinking everything is perfect." 

I hugged him for a while, while my hands were in his hands, I looked deep into his eyes. 

"You know, I say we go for some dinner." He said. 

"Is anything open?"

"I will figure it out. You still hate sushi right?"

"How did you know?"

"I remember the first time I met you with Ben and we took you to dinner, you said no sushi. Ben wanted Sushi so we decided on Chinese."

"You remember that?"

"Oh my god yes, I know a lot more than you realize. We were good friends for a bit then Ben made you do things I wanted to kill him for."

"Lets go back and talk to the director." 

"You want me to stay?"

"Yeah, you can move on and it can be by starting with this movie with me."

"Okay for you anything." He said as we met up with the director and he agreed to give him another shot. 

"Lets go celebrate." I said as we headed out. 

Dany headed back to Florida to be with Simone while my security team had stepped up. We ended up getting wine and Chinese and headed back to my apartment. 

"Wow, this is so you." He said smiling. 

"Hey!" I looked at him.

"That is a huge compliment too." He said. 

"Well what can I say, the extra me in the world."

"Oh god, that is exactly what we need." 

I laughed and put the stuff down. I sat down next to him as we ate and drank. We got wine and alcohol. 

"You're crazy." He said. 

"Well takes one to know one, plus you know me." I danced around. 

He grinned as we began to play board games. I knew what he needed was to let loose. What I didn't know was how to do that without ruining our friendship. 

"I was anticipating these circumstances." He said.

"So we should get some rest." I said getting up. 

"Okay I will take the couch."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, why not?"He looked at me.

"Only if you're sure." He said. 

"I will stand guard." He hugged me. 

"Good night Adam." 

"Good night." 

I laid there thinking about Adam. I walked out to the living room.

"Hey." He said. 

"Hey, come into my room and sleep."

"Why?"

"Because I would feel safer." He nodded and headed to the bedroom with me. 

He laid down with me in his arms as he kissed me so deeply. 

"I don't want to be some rebound bitch." I said to him.

"You never were." He said kissing me. "Even the first time we had sex a while ago. You could never be."

I got onto him and started to work him over. 

"Fuck me." He grunted as I giggled. 

He flipped me over and just went to town on me. His hands all over me and into my hands as he just made love to me, like a real man. 

"Wow." He said. 

"Holy fuck." I said smiling at him. 

"You were beyond amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how good you are."

"Me?" I giggled while cuddling with him."You made me quiver, no one has ever done that before."

"I am one of a kind." He said as we laughed. 

I fell asleep in his arms, hopefully he was okay with me being here next to him. That next morning, I had woken up with the side empty and the smell of Bacon filling up the apartment. I got up and put on his over sized t-shirt and my panties. 

"Good morning beautiful." He said smiling. 

"You're awfully chipper this morning handsome." 

I hugged him and kissed his exposed shoulder. After we ate some breakfast, we headed to the reading. He looked much better today rather than yesterday. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mel's POV:

I had wondered where my sister was, she hasn't contacted me in days and with Dany here I hoped that she was being safe.  I was training in LA again, especially since Tama and the boys were heading to Japan to head to back to work finally, I had felt so alone. I packed up and headed to LA to see my sister and to train to head back into the ring with Tama. He felt so bad being away from me, but now its more amazing with him the second time around. I felt happy to have him back, the only love of my life who never lied to me and always cared about me. I told him yes, finally and I had to tell her. I had headed off the airport with my masks and my belongings. Ryan was there at the airport trying to find her. 

"LC, Ryan is here looking for you. I just want to send a warning to you, be careful."

"Okay love you sis. Thank you. TTYL." She replied back. "PS. I am in LA with lots of security team.." 

"Oh my god, that's good. I think you're better off staying there for a while. I hope you are being safe and I love you." 

"Love you too, gotta go now. I need to finish this script." 

Ryan hadn't realize that she was happier without him, but now he will realize she was about to move on with someone hotter and more healthier for her. I was going to surprise her by staying with her, but then they may not allow it due to COVID, but I had to see her. 

"Hey, thank you for coming with me Leo." I said. 

"After the threats Ryan had made at you and LC, no way I would allow you to go alone, plus I could use the extra training with you. I think it works out this way and Tama would throw me off the fucking bridge if I had allowed you to go by yourself."

"Thanks , I think?" I laughed. 

After boarding the aircraft , first class had been both good to Leo and I. We sat down and they took our drink orders. The plane wasn't as busy as it usually is, I do like the emptiness of this plane. 

"So are we heading to LC's apartment?"

"Yeah, I hoped we can surprise her, but at this point she has like radar in the back of her head."

"She would do some kick ass things in the ring if she was still wrestling."

"I mean I was hoping she would come back, but WWE really disappointed her and she wasn't doing that again."

"Good point."He said. "Do you think she will sign my picture of her?"

"LEO. Really?"

"What?"

"She is your sister in law." I shook my head. "You think this will be the only time you see her?"

"Oh yeah."

"You like her don't you."

"No. Well yeah I guess her acting and she is awesome."

"Well sorry bud, I don't think you're her type."

"You don't know." 

"Well, she is very picky." 

"You were too." I laughed at his comment. 

Once we were in the air, we had gotten our devices out and relaxed. Leo was my brother, even before I would marry Tama. He was the reason why we found out that it was Jason who not only had LC drugged, but also made a mess of her and my life. After about 4 hours, we were preparing to land. I was making it known to the company that I tested negative and I was planning to stay with LC. They were okay with it.

 "So you think she won't be mad at the fact we are just showing up?" Leo asked me.

"No, she won't be." I laughed.

"Okay if you say so." I shook my head and rolled my eyes at his comment.

After we headed out of LAX, we had been screened and tested for COVID and had to show proof that we were negative within the last week. Leo grabbed my bag and his bag as we headed into a car provided by NJPW. It was almost about another 30 minutes when we pulled up to her apartment, the security team knew we were coming. As we entered the apartment, we heard moans coming from her bedroom. I knew she had someone here, I was going to get the shock of my life.

Chapter 8 // Why is everything so heavy? I'm holding on.

I had decided that moving back to Orlando and in with my niece Simone was the best thing. I had gotten fired from the New Amsterdam show , which made me realize that I had to live my own life and not care about finding love at the moment. I received flowers by someone unexpected. I wondered who they were from? 

"Everything okay Simone?"

"Yeah, just can't move my knee too well." 

"You just had surgery." I said shaking my head.

"I know, thank you for being here."

"I love you, you're family." I said. 

"Are you okay? I know you miss Ben."

"I mean I loved him, I miss him because he was the first guy I truly think that was good and he didn't break my heart because a friend needed him, I just wished he wasn't going off and spending every minute with her and it wasn't me so I ran."

"You have to stop running. Talk to him, obviously Ryan wasn't the man for you, he got you fired right after having sex with you. I legit think he wasn't a man , but Ben is."

"You think so?"

"I know, trust me." 

"There was so many times I had wanted to call him. Maybe we weren't meant to be." Tears streamed down my eyes as Simone had hugged me.

I nodded as I prepared for my next movie role. Everything was happening so quickly, with LA getting back to normal, the temps had changed and it was almost the fall season. I was playing a billionaire CEO Alexis Monroe, someone who is kick ass and someone who doesn't need saving until she gets kidnapped. I have no idea who else was going to be in the movie, but right now I have never been more excited to get back to work. 

"You got everything?" Dany said appearing out of no where.

"Shit, you scared the hell out of me." I said laughing.

"I am so glad you live here with Simone, I think its good for you both to relax. She loves you so much and she thinks so highly of you."

"Trust me, I would never let anything happen to her." 

"You're an amazing Aunt to her. I really appreciate it."

"I also appreciate you coming with me."

I walked around the room grabbing it all, that was until Mel busted through the door. Not only did we find out who was behind these attacks, Ben was trying to warn me about it too. Mel had lost her baby, and now it seems all the pieces were starting to connect. 

"Hey, don't hang up." 

"Why shouldn't I ?"

"Just listen please, Jason was behind everything, framing you, drugging me and controlling Mel."

"Is she okay?"

"No, she lost the baby, her marriage was faked, she is a mess."

"How could he have done this?"

"Because he isn't a good man. He was still married to Lisa while being married to Mel. Mel's marriage was voided and faked to get at you."

"Why would he want to get at me?"

"No idea." Mel cried as I did something that was a little out of the ordinary. 

I went downstairs and headed to the living room. I called Tama and told him to get his stupid ass over here for Mel. 

"Why would she want me to come?"

"Because she still loves you and no matter what, she needs you right now more than anything."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, look what he did to us?"

"I know, I can't believe he would do such a thing. I hope he gets his ass crumbled."

"That ugly looking monkey ass, who legit smells like he came through a car wash." 

"I had a gut feeling he would stoop this low."

"Well I think he was jealous of you Tama."

"Why?"

"Because he wanted to control Mel and you had her. So he took her from you and played all these games trying to frame you so he can come out on top."

"That is bullshit. I will be right over." He said. 

I told him to come through the gates, I would have them opened. I was heading to LA, Nia had came back home and stayed with Simone while she recovers as well as a few other WWE superstars. 

"Mel!" I screamed upstairs. "Come down here please!" 

She came down here and immediately latched onto Tama. I made sure she was okay now, but as for me I had no Ben and I was breaking down. 

"Ready?"

"Yeah." 

I grabbed my suitcases, hugged Tama and Mel. Simone had been upstairs and I wanted to make sure she was all set. Mel and Tama were staying a few more days with her. 

"Ready?" Dany asked.

"Yeah, I think so." 

"We have to go." I grabbed the bags and headed out. 

"I love you sis." She said hugging me. 

We got into the SUV, the driver had gone off to the airport. 

"You okay?" She asked me.

"Yeah."

"I know you will see him soon. Just trust me on this one."

"Why do men throw me away?"

"You were yourself around him? You weren't pretending around him like you were with Ryan?" 

"I could sit in pajamas and he wouldn't care. I could go out in jeans and a sweatshirt and he wouldn't order me to get dressed." 

After going through the airport, we barely made our plane to LA. Thankfully our temps checked out and we were cleared to enter the plane with our masks of course. I made sure I had my gloves on too to make sure I wasn't touching anything. 

"Are you happy when you were with Ben?" 

"Yes definitely." 

"Were you you with him?" 

"Definitely." I said. 

"First, here is a good script I think you would love." 

"Okay." I said. 

I read over the script and saw that this part was definitely me. 

"I need this part, I also need Ben."

"Well the good news is I can get you both. Just promise me you will do this part."

"Where do I sign up?"

"That's my girl." She said smiling, 

After thoroughly looking through this script, I wanted this part more than anything. I was going to get it.

"I contacted the director in the movie and he is so excited to have you on, he is a huge fan of yours and really hopes you shine in this. His kids and wife are looking forward to meeting you." 

"Oh good I hope he is fair and will treat me better than the other directors I have had in the past, not saying the one in England was bad, he was awesome, but some of the other directors were terrible to work with."

"Oh no, I have known this man for years."

"Works for me." I smiled. 

After a while, we were getting ready to land. Finally LA , a place that had some Ben memories.  20 minutes later, we headed to the hotel, thankfully tomorrow was the meeting with the director and the cast for this movie. I wondered if I ever would see Ben, but would I sooner than later?
