The bus, right after last chapter

Caleb's POV

We all climb onto the bus, Gi and I get on there before Lex and I'm guessing that Ryan dude get on. The bus starts up and heads towards wherever the hell the boat is. The people on the bus are: Lexi and Ryan, Brie and Nikki, Gi and I (duh), Carmella, Lana and Rusev (I don't care what he goes by in AEW, he's still Rusev to me), Naomi and Jimmy, and a few other girls I don't know. Oh and Nia. Nia's here too. The bus was pretty dark. It's basically a club on wheels. It has drinks, space for people to dance, music (not anything good), and I think those are stripper poles in various places, places in the center of the bus. The Bellas, to no one's surprise, were the first to take advantage of the drinks in the back, popping the cork off a bottle of some kinda drink, handing glasses to everyone and sloppily pouring everyone drinks. When they got to me, I shook my head.

Nikki: You don't drink?

Me: Not that shit I don't.

I grab a shot glass of Jack Daniels and gulp it down in a second.

Nikki just nods her head before returning to the back where the party is. I continue to just sit down on one of the center facing seats. It's more like a bench that goes along the side of the bus. In the back, it forms something that looks like a booth or some shit before it continues back down the opposite wall.

Me: You can go party with your friends, babe.

Gi: I don't want you to be left alone.

Me: I don't want to be responsible for you being bored. Go have fun.

Gi kisses me passionately for a moment or two before standing up and joining the group. After a few minutes of semi-perfect solitude, I hear a feminine voice ordering a male to do something. I look up out of the corner of my eye to see Lexi pointing in my direction and talking to Ryan.

Lexi: Go talk to him, Ryan.

Ryan: Lexi I-

Lexi: I don't want to hear it. He can't do anything to you anyway.

I smirk to myself as I hear that last part. Right. Can't do anything 'cause we're on a bus. Whatever you say, Lex. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Ryan walks over to me and stands still like a statue.

Me: You just gonna stand there or are ya gonna come shake my hand?

Ryan, nervously stepping up closer to me and reaching out his hand for me to shake: I'm Ryan.

I reach up and shake his hand before crossing my arms across my chest again.

Me: I'm Caleb. You're Mike's friend, ain't ya?

Ryan: Yes. Yes I am.

Me: You don't have to stand the whole time.

Ryan sits on the opposite side of the bus, facing me. I lean back a little before continuing our conversation. Suddenly my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out and see two texts, one from Gi and the other from Lex.

Lexi: He's really nervous. Please be nice to him.

Gi: Play nice. Lex and I can see you from here.

I look up and to the right before I pull my glasses down a little and see Gi and Lexi doing a "I'm watching you" gesture with their hands. I chuckle a little to myself before pushing my glasses back up, shaking my head, and looking back at Ryan.

Me: Why're you so nervous?

Ryan: I've seen what you're capable of. Plus you're tall and intimidating to look at.

Me: A: thank you, I really try. And b: you don't have to be afraid of me unless you've done something wrong. So, have you?

Ryan: What? No.

Something's up. He shouldn't be afraid of me. Sure I'm a rather large guy but nothin' too scary. Just an inch taller than McIntyre. Oh, maybe that is something to be afraid of. Gi could definitely tell by my facial expression, even in the dark under my shades, that something's up as she sends me a text.

Gi: What's wrong?

Me: Something isn't right. He barely looks me in the eye.

Gi: He did watch some of your most brutal and violent matches.

Me: Yeah, but when I asked him if he'd done anything wrong that'd piss me off, he looked nervous. I'll find out what's up, just keep an eye on Lexi.

Gi: Looks like that'll be your job. She's coming over to you two. I'll be hanging out with Carmella back here. I love you.

Me: I love you too, Gi.

I look up from my phone to see Lexi coming over and sitting down next to Ryan.

Lexi: Hey babe. What are you two talking about?

Ryan: N-nothing really.

Me: I told him he shouldn't be afraid of me and asked him if he'd done anything that he knows would piss me off.

Lexi: Well, have you?

Ryan: Of course not.

I raise an eyebrow before I hear Gi's voice.

Gi: What!?! I will not dance on you! I have a boyfriend who's right over there!

I look over and see one of the crew members trying to get handsy with Gi and Carmella.

Gi: Don't touch me! Get away from me creep!

I stand up quickly and approach the back of the bus quickly, my rage can be felt by everyone near.

Gionna's POV

Carmella and I are dancing around with each other and catching up when one of the crew members comes up to us.

Crew guy: Hey, you two ladies wanna dance?

Carmella: We're good dancing over here, thanks.

Crew guy: Not even one little lap dance from Liv?

Me: What!?! I will not dance on you! I have a boyfriend and he's right over there!

I point right at Caleb who hears me yelling and starts getting up. The creep gets closer to 'Mella and I, trying to reach out and touch us.

Carmella: Get away from us!

Me: Don't touch me! Get away from me creep!

I hear Caleb march over to us. He's so pissed off. I haven't seen him this mad since Roman said that I didn't belong in the WWE and that was just for show.

Caleb: Hey! Listen here motherfucker, you touch my girl, Carmella, or any other woman, I will fuck you up so badly your momma won't be able to recognize you!

The guy is clearly trying to start trouble and moves his hand closer and closer towards me.

Caleb: Oi! Dumbass! You touch her, I break you!

The guy smirks and continues to move his hand closer. He's about to touch me when Caleb gets in front of 'Mella and I and grabs the guy's wrist with one hand.

Caleb, in a dark, scary voice: I warned you. Now, I'm gonna break you.

He knees the creep in the gut before running him into the wall of the bus. The whole bus shakes and rocks a little from the impact. Caleb starts wailing down on the creep's face, breaking teeth and busting him open pretty badly. I knew he learned from Brock and 'Taker, but damn was he kicking this guy's ass. He starts driving his right forearm and elbow into the forehead of the creep. Jimmy and Rusev (or Milo. Whatever you wanna call him) pry him off while some of the other girls, mainly the intoxicated Bellas, cheer Caleb on as he tries to continue his rampage. The two guys hold Caleb by his arms as he calms down. That is until they learn some new information.

Naomi: Let him go, Jimmy. He's been askin' all of us to dance on him.

Rusev looks to Lana for confirmation and she nods. The two look at each other before letting go of Caleb's arms.

Rusev: As you were.

While they were releasing his arms, the creep got up and tried to approach me with malicious intentions.

Caleb POV

I see the fucker approach Gi once again and I rush right at him. I wrap my arms around his neck and lock in a rear naked choke on him. He fades into unconsciousness, but I'm not done with him. I release the hold, pushing him to the ground before climbing on top of him and rapidly striking him with a barrage of punches, forearms, and elbows. After awhile, I realize what I'm doing and start to calm down a little, getting off of him and walking towards Gi. As she cleans his blood off of my arms, elbows, and knuckles with a towel, the guy starts opening his fat mouth again.

Creep: Fuck...you. And your little bitch.

I step away from Gi and calmly walk towards him. I help him up and start talking to him.

Me: How much have you had to drink?

Creep: Fuck...you.

Me: Look, I'm tryin' to be nice to ya. I've beaten ya down twice now. Now, how much have you had to drink?

Creep: How much would I have to pay you for you to let me have a go with her?

Me: You poor poor dumbass. There isn't enough money in the world. I love that woman and she loves me. Now, hopefully this knocks you out and keeps you from remembering anything you've done tonight. Just know, I forgive you. But I have to do this. You've pushed it too far and you're gonna have to suffer the consequences. Understand?

Before the guy even answers, I hit him with a release German suplex, launching the guy into the wall of the bus head and neck first, knocking him unconscious instantly.

I stand back up quickly before looking at the bus full of people who are all looking at me. I could tell the camera crew hadn't been filming the bus ride or at least not this part as the guy I suplexed was a camera guy.

Me: What?

The music comes back on and everyone goes back to what they're doing before the fight. If you could even call it that. I make my way to where I was sitting and sit down. When I look up, I'm met with stares from Lex and Ryan.

Me: What?

Lexi: You kicked his ass.

Me: The womanizing prick deserved it. He messed with the woman I love and her friends. He asked you too, didn't he?

Lexi: I think he was going to but I was on my way towards you and once he saw where I was walking to, he got scared.

Me: Am I really that scary?

Lexi: Not to me. Not to any of the women on this bus I think. I think you have a vibe that says "don't fuck with me".

Rusev: She's right. I'm not sure if it's the way you don't talk, the way you fight, or the fact that you're always wearing black, but you give off that vibe.

Me: Oh. Cool.

I look at Ryan and I can tell that he's even more nervous, having seen what I am capable of up close.

Me: You don't have to worry about that happening to you, Ryan. As long as you keep Lex happy, healthy, and never ever lay a hand on her or betray her in anyway, you should be fine.

Ryan: That's good to know.

Me: Now, what line of work you in?

Ryan: I'm a musician.

Me: What genre?

Ryan: Pop.

Lexi: Well, I think you just lost his interest.

Ryan: What do you mean?

Lexi: Caleb doesn't really like pop music. He'll listen to it, but it's not his favorite.

Ryan: Oh ok. What type of music do you listen to?

Me: Rock, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal, Country, and Alternative.

Ryan: You don't like rap?

Me: Depends on the rapper.

Our conversation is interrupted when Gi comes over to us and sits down in my lap. I lean back and wrap my arms around her stomach as she leans back into me. I plant a small kiss on her neck before continuing my conversation with Ryan and Lexi.

Lexi: You two look so cute together.

Me: Oh, she's responsible for that. As shown earlier, I'm just responsible for heavy lifting.

Gi: Don't say that. You're cute too.

Me: Whatever you say, boss lady. (Back to Lex and Ryan) So when'd y'all meet?

Ryan: About a year ago.

Me: Gotcha. How many Disney songs has she made you sing with her?

Ryan stares at me a little confused while Lex looks down at the ground.

Lexi: He hasn't really sang any of them.

I look at Ryan with a "you gotta be fuckin' kidding me" look.

Ryan, pointing at me: Let me guess, he sings Disney songs?

Gi and Lexi: Yes.

Ryan: You sing Disney?

I can tell he's trying to get under my skin, so I lean my glasses down a little and look him in the eyes.

Me: You got a problem with that?

Ryan: I just didn't expect a big guy like you to sing Disney.

Me: It ain't anything I'm ashamed of. And you best watch yourself. She's the biggest Disney fan I know and- (I turn my attention to Gi who has slowly started wiggling and grinding on me) how much have you had to drink, Gi?

Gi: I dunno.

Me: Alright. You're done for the night. (I move my arms around her waist and lean into her ear before whispering) What're you up to?

Gi, whispering back: Nothing. Just getting comfortable.

She winks after she said that. I smile before leaning back with her still wiggling on me. Carmella comes over to us as Lexi and Ryan stand up and go back to dancing with the rest of the group.

Carmella: Whatcha doin' to Caleb, Gi?

Gi: I'm just getting comfortable.

Carmella: Uh huh. So, she's had enough for tonight.

Me: Yeah, no kidding.

Carmella looks at me a little shocked and I know exactly why. She's surprised that I'm managing to form complete sentences without gasping or moaning or groaning with Gi dancing on me.

Gi: I'm not drunk. Just a liiiiittttle bit tipsy.

Me: You get real flirty when you drink, babe. You've had enough.

Gi: Ok, fine.

She looks down with a pouty face and turns around to face me, her body now straddling mine. She continues to try to guilt trip me by using her pouty face and puppy dog eyes. I just smirk and chuckle a little.

Me: You're adorable, but the answer is still no.

Gi starts rocking against me before bouncing up and down a little.

Gi: But I want more to drink. I'm tirsty.

Fuck. She's using that damn baby voice. Last time she used that voice, I ended up buying her a new pair of shoes. I reach over and grab a bottle of water that I brought with me and hand it her.

Me: Here. Have a water.

Gi: I can't open it, my hands are busy.

I look down to my chest to see her hands on it. She's using my chest to keep her from falling over. I roll my eyes before twisting the cap open and placing my right hand on the small of her back.

Me: Here. Now you can drink it.

Gi: But what if I fall forward?

Me: Then you'll fall on me, right into a big hug.

Gi: Can you pour the water in my mouth please?

Me, after rolling my eyes: Fine.

I hold the bottle up to her lips before tipping it so she can actually get water out of it. I feel Gi start rocking back and forth again and then I realize what she's doing. She's purposefully letting little drops of the water drip down out of her mouth, down her neck, and to her chest. She's trying to seduce me, but because she's not exactly sober, she doesn't care who is around or about why I won't just have sex with her. I didn't lie when I told the people during the stream why we haven't done it yet. It is because of my religion. I was born and raised a Christian and I made a promise to myself when I was younger to not have sex until after I was married. I've told Gi about the vow and my reasons for not just having sex with her and she agreed that it was a good idea to wait. Of course that doesn't stop her from teasing me, but I know she'll never actually go that far. At least sober Gionna wouldn't. This version of her, I'm not so sure. She might just try to take what she wants without thinking, which I know Gi would regret when she sobered up the morning after. I stop pouring the water and put the cap back on it before I lean into her ear and whisper to her.

Me: Whatcha doin' babe?

Gi: What? I just spilt some of the water.

Me: Gi, you know what you were doing and I know what you were doing.

Gi: Uh huh. And?

She bites her lip nervously.

Me: And it's workin'.

Gionna smiles before looking into my eyes sleepily.

Gi: I'm sleepy and my chest is cold.

I grab a towel off of the nearby table and wipe her mouth, neck, and chest.

Gi: Thanks babe. Can I go to sleep on you?

Me: Of course, you adorable goofball.

I wrap my arms around her and basically hug her, holding her body close to mine, as she lays her head on my right shoulder and wraps her arms around me. After a minute, my phone buzzes. It's a text from Lex.

Lexi: Quite the handful you've got there. You ok?

Me: I'm fine. Just hate this fuckin' bus.

Lexi: I forgot how much you hate clubs. Why'd you even come on this trip?

Me: I came for the woman I love. I didn't want her to come all alone.

Lexi: You're such a good guy, ya know that?

Me: I've been told that from time to time. Now I have the perfect girl.

Lexi: I'm happy for you Caleb. You think she's the one?

Me: Honestly, yes. Some people may say it's too soon, but I've known her for over six years. I love her.

Lexi: I'm not sure I know that feeling.

Me: What about you and Ryan?

Lexi: At this point, I feel like I'm the only one that cares about the wedding. I've been stuck planning it and trying to tag along with Bray. I could really use his help, but he's always "at the studio".

Me: Why do you phrase it like that?

Lexi: Because I think he's cheating on me.

Me: Do you know for certain?

I look up and I see Lex with tears in her eyes nodding her head. My face turns into one of anger as I look back down at my phone over Gi's shoulder.

Me: Where is he?

Lexi: No. Don't do anything. He's only done it once before and he said he'd stop.

Me: Do you believe him?

Lexi: Not really.

Me: Don't worry. I know a few guys who are always up to defend a woman.

Lexi: Did they help you in your fight with Enzo?

Me: No. That was all me. They just told me to call them if Enzo brought some friends.

Lexi: Maybe I'll meet these guys some day.

Me: Well you've already met my brother. The other two are rumored to show up in WWE in the next few months. One of them should be with his dad at Survivor Series later in the month.

Lexi: I'll keep my eye out for him and if things get bad, I'll let you guys know. Btw your brother is supposed to be at the island. His girlfriend is bringing him.

Me: Speaking of the island, when the hell does this bus ride end? I wanna get to that island so I can put Gi in an actual bed.

Lexi: The boat is still a bit of the way out. I suggest you get some sleep too. Everyone's going to sleep.

Me: You mean they drank themselves to sleep.

Lexi: That's another way to put it. Just get some rest.

Me: I'm good. I'll make sure no one tries to steal anyone else's stuff. Now, you go to sleep.

Lexi: Ok. Goodnight Caleb. I'm happy for you.

Me: Thanks, Lex. See ya in the morning.

I turn my body, Gi obviously turning with me since she's in my arms, and lay down on my back. I grab the towel I used to dry Gi off and fold it to where the dry side is on the outside and prop it up against one of the dividers. Oh I forgot to mention earlier, the benches on the bus have these small dividers or walls or whatever the hell they are for structural purposes I guess. How the hell should I know? Anyway, I prop the makeshift pillow up against the divider wall thing and lay my head down on it. I hold Gionna closely and continue to just lay there. I tend to have trouble sleeping. It's easier when Gi's with me, but it's still a bit of a challenge. While I'm just laying there, I take a picture of me and my sleeping beauty. How can you look cute while sleeping? I know I don't, but she somehow does. Just by looking at her, I fall in love with her all over. I can't help but plant a kiss on the top of her head. After I do, I notice her sleeping body try to snuggle up closer to me, which I don't think is possible since she's laying on top of me, and her lips form a small smile of content. I squeeze her a little closer to me before closing my eyes and trying to go to sleep.

Timeskip

After a few minutes, I hear a voice. It's Jimmy's voice. I crack my right eye open and listen to what he's saying.

Jimmy: So how's AEW?

Rusev: Not too different from WWE. I took a break from showing up to spend time with Lana.

Jimmy: I got it.

Rusev: You think Caleb's still awake?

Jimmy: I don't know. Let's find out. (He turns backwards in his chair to face me) Johnny Cash isn't the best country singer.

The two laugh as my right arm shoots out from behind the divider, my middle finger on full display.

Jimmy: Yeah, he's awake.

Rusev: How are things with you and Liv going?

My hand changes from shooting them a bird to a thumbs up in a flash.

Jimmy: I'm glad you finally found yourself a girl. Your brothers in the BSK were worried about you. We'll let you get back to sleeping after you answer this question: who would win in a triple threat match between Naomi, Lana, and Liv?

My arm curves as I point to where I'm laying.

Jimmy, chuckling: Whatever you say, uce. The driver says we should be there in a few minutes.

I shoot back another thumbs up before returning my hand back in its rightful place: wrapped around Gionna. I kiss the top of her head once again before going back to sleep.

End of chapter

A/N: Thank y'all so much for reading. I don't have anything else to say except that so I guess I will talk to y'all next time.
