Seth Rollins' parents had died when he was a mere toddler so that meant he was sent to live with his grandparents in Granbury, Texas. That was the definition of a small town. His grandparents owned a small ranch out there and there were hardly peopl...
"Good morning bug," Maria, Seth's grandmother greeted when Seth walked down the steps and into the kitchen, he grunted and sat down, opposite his grandfather Don.
"Morning son," his grandfather said, sipping some coffee
"Morning guys," he said and Maria put a plate in front of Don and kissed Seth's head as she passed him
There was two knocks at the door and Don got up to get it, it was 6:30 in the morning, who the hell could that be?
"Good morning Dakota!" He heard and he shook his head, of course.
"Allen!" He then heard and instantly, his mood soured
Don came back, arms around both AJ and Dakota and Seth sighed as his grandma put his plate in front of him and hugged Allen while gesturing them to sit and fixing them plates before she joined them at the table
"So Seth, I heard you're a big movie star," Allen said, putting a piece of bacon in his mouth and Seth nodded
"That's so cool," Allen said and Seth nodded again
"Would you like some more sugar in your tea babe?" Maria asked AJ who sweetly smiled at her and wrapped an arm around Dakota
"No thanks ma'am, got all the sugar right here," he said, kissing her temple making her smile and turn to peck his lips
"Excuse me," Seth said, pushing his chair back so hard it wobbled
He quickly put on his slippers and walked outside and over to the barn, he needed to think for a few minutes
He sat on a haystack and exhaled, what the hell was going on with him? Why did seeing Dakota with a guy making him feel this way? He couldn't possibly be jealous could he? After all this time he spent away, how was it possible that he still had feelings for her? It just didn't seem plausible
"You okay man?" He heard and he turned his head, seeing John standing there, with a basket of eggs dangling from his right hand and a plaid shirt dangling from his left
"I dunno," Seth admitted and John gave him a knowing look, putting down the basket and sitting down in front of Seth on a haystack of his own
"Shoot," he said, folding his arms waiting for Seth to explain
Seth stared at him for a few minutes before he sighed and began
"There's this girl from Hollywood, her name is Sarah, she's a model, I thought I was so desperately in love with her, hell before I came out here, I bought her a ring to ask her to marry me, but then-" Seth paused
"You came here and Dakota did away with your plans," John finished for him with a sympathetic smile and Seth casted his eyes to him and nodded
"I just thought I had everything figured out and then I come here and everything I knew goes flying out the window," he revealed
"Who do you love?" John asked, waiting for an answer
"I love Sarah," he admitted and John quirked his lips into an amused expression
"That may be so, but there's a part you don't seem to see yet," John continued standing up and lightly stretching
"You may love Sarah, but you're in love with Dakota," he said and then looked at his egg basket then back at Seth
"And that my friend, are two completely different things," John said, bending down to pick up the basket as Seth looked on
"If you ever need to talk again, you know where to find me, I gotta get to lunch, my nan's in town," John said and Seth nodded, turning away as John made it out of the barn
He started thinking about what John said as he went back into the house after AJ had pulled out in his truck
He was sitting on his bed, staring at a picture of him and Sarah, praying to feel love but he just couldn't
The bed dipped beside him and a woodsy, flowery scent filled his nostrils and he bit his lip
"Is that your girlfriend?" He heard from beside him and turned to see Dakota sitting very close to him, staring at his phone screen and he nodded

"Is she an actor to?" Dakota asked, tilting her head
"No, she's a model," Seth replied and Dakota hummed
"I just came to see if you were okay, you seemed bothered that AJ was here earlier," she commented and Seth shrugged
"I don't want you being uncomfortable in your own house," she continued and Seth turned to her and his eyes widened at their proximity, if he only tilted his head a little more, their lips would touch
"I'm not," he mumbled as she looked at his eyes then his lips and he did the same, he leaned forward a little and she did the same, right as their lips were about to touch, Maria called for Dakota to come help with the pies and Seth and Dakota pulled away from each other
"I should go down," she said, standing up
"Yeah," he replied dazedly, she avoided eye contact but nodded as she walked out of the room and went downstairs. Seth stared at the door before he flopped on the bed, turning off his phone
What the hell was that? He nearly kissed Dakota, what the fuck was he thinking? Sarah would kill him if she found out he was having these thoughts about another woman, he could imagine AJ wouldn't be too happy with him either. God, he couldn't let that happen again.
