Never Mine
It was Thursday evening and Roman and Bayley were on the bleachers with Sasha, Becky, and Mike waiting for the guys to finish practice. Friday nights game was canceled so everyone was getting an early start on the weekend.
"I heard there's a party at Mandy's house tonight." Mike said.
"On a school night?" Bayley asked.
"I guess everyone is skipping tomorrow." Mike said.
"You guys want to go?" Becky asked.
"Hell yeah." Sasha said.
"You want to ride with me?" Roman asked.
"Yeah, that's fine." Bayley said as she watched Dean tackle Seth on the field.
Dean knew she watching so he took off his shirt in attempt to tease her. Bayley laughed to herself.
"What's so funny?" Roman asked.
"I don't know." Bayley said.
"Hey guys." Alexa said as she approached the field. "Can I talk to you for a second Bayley?"
"Yeah. I will be right back." Bayley said as she walked down the bleachers. Alexa leaned against the fence by the football field and watched practice.
"I heard about the kiss." Alexa said.
"Um.." Bayley said in a panic.
"Relax Bayley, I want you to be together." Alexa said.
"You do?" Bayley asked.
"He's happy with you." Alexa said.
"I'm confused." Bayley said.
"He and I are going to the party together tonight. He told me about your situation with Roman so I am just trying to help him out." Alexa said.
"I'm not cheating on Roman." Bayley said.
"I know that." Alexa said.
"Sorry if I am being rude, I just don't understand how I got here." Bayley said.
"You met three great guys who have an amazing taste in women." Alexa said.
Bayley blushed.
"How are you so cool with this?" Bayley asked.
"I honestly don't know." Alexa joked.
"I just wish things weren't so complicated." Bayley said as they watched Dean wipe sweat from his face.
Back on the bleachers Sasha was watching Bayley talk with Alexa.
"Roman I think Alexa is trying to make a move on your girl." Becky joked.
"Damn." Roman laughed.
On the field the guys were finishing practice. Seth approached Dean as he was getting a drink.
"Bayley and Alexa seem to be getting along." Seth said.
"Yeah." Dean said as he tried to walk away.
"Dude are we okay? You have been giving me the cold shoulder all week." Seth said.
"Don't grab me." Dean said as he walked away.
"Dean!" Seth yelled as he pulled him back again.
"Leave me alone Seth." Dean said.
"Did she tell you or did you put two and two together?" Seth asked, stopped Dean in his tracks.
Dean turned around and got in Seth's face.
"I suggest you shut the fuck up." Dean said as he shoved him.
"Are you mad that I am the one that slept with her or that she took a drink for never have I ever been in love with two people at once?" Seth asked.
Dean couldn't contain his anger anymore. He threw his best right and punched Seth across the jaw.
"Oh my god!" Bayley yelled.
Seth instantly threw back a punch at Dean.
"Shit." Roman yelled as he ran to the field.
Dean tackled Seth to the ground as they began taking turns throwing punches.
"What the hell guys?" Roman said as he separated them.
Seth spit out blood from his mouth as Dean laughed and wiped his blood from his face.
"What's going on?" Roman asked.
Seth look to Bayley with concern. Once Roman realized it was about Bayley he let out a sigh.
"I think we're good. I just needed to get that out." Dean said.
"Yeah me too." Seth said.
"You two are dumb asses you know that?" Roman joked.
"Sorry man." Seth said as he and Dean bumped fists.
"What the hell just happened?" Sasha asked.
Roman walked to Bayley and put his arm around her as they walked away.
That night at the party Bayley hadn't left Roman's side all night. Sasha and Becky had been dancing on one another all night. Finn and Mike on the other hand had been drinking with Roman and Bayley.
"I have to use the restroom." Bayley said.
She walked inside and used the bathroom. On her way out someone pulled her into a room.
"Dean?" Bayley asked.
"How drunk are you?" Dean asked as he pinned her against the wall.
"Not drunk enough for this." Bayley said.
"Why have you been hiding behind your boyfriend all night?" Dean asked.
"Dean." Bayley said.
"What is it about him that you like so much anyway?" Dean asked.
"I don't know, it's normal I guess." Bayley said.
"Normal? Are you sure you want normal?" Dean asked as Bayley bit her lips
"I think so." Bayley said .
"Because I don't think you do. I think you like danger." Dean whispered.
Bayley stood there, paralyzed as he kissed her.
"You shouldn't have done that." Bayley said as she kissed him back and led him onto the bed.
She threw him back as she took off her shirt. Dean smirked as she crawled on top of him.
Outside Mandy approached Roman.
"Hey Roman." Mandy said.
"Mandy I'm here with Bayley." Roman said.
"Then where is she?" Mandy asked.
"She's in the bathroom." Roman said.
"That's too bad." Mandy said as she walked away.
"Hey." Seth said as he walked up to them.
"Where's Peyton?" Roman asked.
"She had plans with some other guy." Seth said.
"Ouch, that's gotta hurt." Mike said.
"It's fine, there are plenty of girls here." Seth said.
"Are sure? I mean are there any girls here you haven't already been with?" Finn asked.
"Damn. I think you're right." Seth said as he took a seat.
Inside Dean and Bayley were putting their clothes back.
"I can't believe I just did that." Bayley said as Dean zipped up his pants.
"Me either." Dean joked as Bayley hit him with her shirt.
"This is all you're fault, you were teasing me today at practice." Bayley said.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Dean said with a smirk on his face.
"Sure you don't." Bayley said as she put her shirt on.
"This was fun, don't make a big deal out of it. Things happen, it's okay." Dean said as he held her face.
She kissed him slowly before leaving the room.
"There you are." Alexa said as Dean walked back into the party.
"Hey." Dean said.
"I know that look. Please tell me you didn't just have sex with Bayley." Alexa said.
"I thought you didn't care." Dean said.
"I don't care. I just don't think Bayley would be okay with doing that to Roman." Alexa said.
"Okay it's one thing for you to be okay with all of this but now you are concerned for Bayley? What going on with you?" Dean asked.
"I'm just being nice." Alexa said.
Outside Bayley returned to the group.
"There's my girl." Roman said as Bayley sat on his lap.
"Hey." Bayley said.
"What took so long?" Roman asked.
"There was a line." Bayley said as Dean and Alexa walked up to them.
"What's up guys?" Finn asked.
"No throwing punches." Roman warned them.
"Flying solo buddy?" Dean asked.
"Dude shut up." Seth said.
"I'm going to grab a beer." Bayley said.
She walked over to the table outside filled with liquor.
"Bayley." Paige said as she approached.
"Paige, hi." Bayley said.
"You and Roman? I saw that one coming from a mile away." Paige.
"Oh shit." Roman said as he pointed Paige out to everyone.
"I really don't know what he sees in you." Paige said.
"Is there a problem?" Alexa asked.
"This doesn't concern you princess." Paige said.
"I think it does." Alexa said as she stood in front of Bayley.
"Get the fuck out of my face." Paige said as nudged Alexa.
"Uh oh." Dean said.
Alexa laughed at Paige's attempt to insult her. Suddenly she smacked Paige right across the face.
"Damn." Roman said.
Paige slapped her back almost immediately. Bayley panicked and threw her best right hook and punched Paige across her jaw.
"We've got to get out of here." Seth said as they all ran towards the fight.
Paige grabbed a vodka bottle as Roman threw Bayley ver his shoulder. Dean grabbed Alexa's hand and the group fled the scene. Seth jumped in the passenger sight of Roman's jeep. Bayley sat in the back between Alexa and Dean. Sasha, Becky, Finn and Mike crammed in back of the jeep as Roman sped off.
"Damn girl, you can fight." Alexa said.
"I hope she's okay." Bayley said.
"Of course you do." Roman said as he and Seth laughed.
"Here, put this on your nose." Bayley said as she held a napkin to Alexa's face.
"Thanks for that back there by the way." Alexa said as Bayley held her hair back for her.
"Me? You saved my ass." Alexa said.
Sasha observed from the back seat, trying her best to keep her comments to her self.
"Are you seeing this?" Sasha whispered to Becky.
"Let it go." Becky said.
"What was her deal anyway?" Bayley asked.
"She thinks you and I were together while I was with her." Roman said.
"She thinks I would cheat?" Bayley asked as she looked to Dean.
"I know, she's crazy." Roman said.
Alexa put her hand on Bayley's to comfort her.
"Um.." Sasha said before Becky nudged her to keep her mouth shut.
"Everyone's going back to my place?" Roman asked
"Yeah." Becky said.
As they arrived at Roman's everyone gathered in the kitchen.
"Here's an ice pack for you hand." Roman said.
"Thanks." She said.
"Well that fun." Mike said.
"Was that your first fight?" Seth asked.
"Aside from when Sasha and I first met." Bayley said.
"Why do I feel like I wanna hear this story?" Dean said.
"What happened?" Roman asked.
"Well we were in elementary school. She had just moved here from Boston and I was apparently sitting in her seat a lunch." Bayley said.
"She just moved here and you were in her seat?" Becky asked.
"I sat there that morning for breakfast so I assumed it would still be my seat during lunch." Sasha said.
"Long story short she dumped a carton on milk over my head." Bayley said.
"Really?" Roman asked.
"Then Bayley pinned me on the ground and threatened to stab me with a fork." Sasha said.
"Damn." Seth said.
"Then you just became best friends?" Dean asked.
"No one had stood up to me before that so I obviously had a crush on her for the longest time. So when Nia picked a fight with her a few weeks later I had her back." Sasha said as she put her arm around Bayley.
"You never told me you had a crush on me?" Bayley asked.
"I was a school girl crush, don't get too excited." Sasha said.
"And you guys have been friends ever since?" Roman asked.
"Yeah. I mean Carmella didn't like me at first but she eventually came around and they let me in their little club." Sasha said.
"That's so weird." Dean said.
"True story." Bayley said.
The group hung out for a few hours before going to sleep. The next morning Roman had to meet his parents at the airport so everyone met at Joe's for lunch.
"Okay well I should probably get going." Bayley said.
"You parked at the school right?" Dean asked.
"Yeah." She said.
"I can drive you." Dean said as he stood up.
Everyone looked at them with suspicion.
"I have to grab a book from my locker." Dean said before following Bayley out of the door.
Bayley got into Dean's car and they drove toward the school.
"You don't think they caught on to that did you?" Dean asked.
"Maybe stop using that excuse. Everyone knows you don't study. Why would you need your book?" Bayley said.
"Right." Dean said as they pulled up to the school.
Dean got out of his car and stopped Bayley from getting into hers. He grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the football field.
"Where are you taking me?" Bayley asked playfully.
Dean lead her onto the field and began kissing her. Suddenly Bayley ran and grabbed a football.
"If you want another kiss you're going to have to catch me!" Bayley yelled as she ran down the field.
Dean laughed and put his hands on his hips. Bayley waited at the end of the field with a smile on her face.
"You asked for this." Dean said as he chased after her.
She tried to run but Dean was too fast.
"Dean!" Bayley yelled as he picked her up and ran over into the end zone.
He laid her down in the grass and pinned her arms down. Dean climbed on top of her as she laughed playfully. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. Bayley let out a small moan as he returned to his feet.
"Get back down here." Bayley pleaded.
"No way. Now you have to get me." Dean said as he grabbed the football and began to run the other way.
As Bayley rose to her feet the smile on her face quickly faded as she saw Roma standing by the bleachers. Dean turned to see what she was looking at.
"Fuck." Dean said to himself as Bayley ran to Roman.
"Roman!" Bayley yelled as he walked away.
She finally approached him but he was ignoring her. Dean followed Bayley to the parking lot to find that Sasha, Becky, Seth, and Finn were all there as well.
"Roman please let me explain." Bayley said as she grabbed his hand.
He opened his jeep door and turned to her. Dean approached everyone else across the parking lot.
"What's going on?" Sasha asked.
"It's nothing." Dean said.
"You sure about that?" Seth asked defensively.
"Just stay out of it." Dean snapped back.
"Roman you weren't supposed to fight out like that." Bayley said.
"Find out? So you aren't even going to try to tell me that it was an accident? That it just happened?" Roman asked.
"I'm not going to lie to you." Bayley said.
"Get in the jeep, let's talk." Roman said.
Bayley walked around and got into the car. They didn't drive anywhere, Roman only wanted to talk.
"I'm in love with him." Bayley said with a crack in her voice.
Roman closed his eyes as a tear fell from his eye.
"How long?" He asked.
"Since the cabin." Bayley said.
"And you didn't think to tell me? Instead you just let me believe you still wanted to be with me?" Roman asked.
"Because I didn't know what I wanted." Bayley said.
"Is he the one you slept with?" Roman asked.
"I slept with him first." Bayley said.
"I'm such a fucking idiot." Roman said.
"Not you're not." Bayley argued.
"I haven't even slept with my girlfriend but both of my best friends have?" Roman said.
"You said we didn't have to talk about it." Bayley said.
"When is the last time you slept with either of them?" Roman asked.
"Seth and I were only together once, the night of Mike's party." Bayley said.
"And Dean?" Roman asked as he wiped another tear from his eye.
"I slept with last night." Bayley said.
"Oh my god. At my house?" Roman asked.
"At Mandy's." Bayley said.
"When you were in the bathroom?"Roman asked.
Bayley nodded her head.
"I can't believe this." Roman said.
"I didn't want any of this to happen Roman." Bayley said.
"I really thought I had you." Roman said.
"You did Roman." Bayley said.
"I mean I thought you were mine." Roman said.
"I was yours Roman. It may have been for a short time but I was yours, I promise you.
"No you weren't. You were never mine were you?" Roman asked.
Bayley opened her mouth as if she were about to say something but no words came out. Roman reached into his glove box and pulled out a jewelry box and a letter.
"What's this?" Bayley asked.
"You can take it and go. I was going to give it to you for your birthday next weekend." Roman said as he leaned over and opened the door for her to get out.
"But Roman-." Bayley began to say.
"Just go." Roman said.
Bayley got out of the jeep and watched him drive away. Dean watched from across the parking lot as she opened the letter Roman had written her for her birthday.
"Dear Bayley,
Happy Birthday to the girl I love. I know it hasn't been long that we have been together but I feel like I have been waiting a lifetime for you. Maybe it's too soon to say it but I do, I love you. I am head over heels in love with you. My heart melts when I see you smile. I am happiest when you are around. You are my everything and I hope you're birthday is special because you deserve the world.
I love you,
Roman."
A tear fell from Bayley's face as Dean ran to her. He grabbed her in his arms and held her head against his chest. She looked down as a tear fell on the letter.
"Is everything okay?" Sasha asked as everyone approached them.
Bayley looked up from Dean and saw Seth standing there.
"Did you and Roman have a fight?" Becky asked.
"We broke up." Bayley said.
"I'm sorry Bayley." Sasha said.
Dean and Seth looked at each other as if they had a temporary understanding. Seth had an idea of what happened but couldn't stand to see Bayley upset.
"Maybe Dean should take you home?" Seth asked.
"He can't." Bayley said.
"I'm reviewing the footage this week. I'm not going to say anything." Seth said.
"You would do that for me?" Bayley asked.
"Just for tonight." Seth said as Bayley gave him a hug.
"Thank you Seth, really." Bayley said.
"Thanks man." Dean said before he lead Bayley over to his car.
Seth's heart sunk down into his stomach as he watched Bayley leave with Dean.
"That was the right thing to do." Becky said.
"I need a drink." Seth said.
"To the beach?" Finn asked.
"Let's go." Sasha said.
Back at Bayley's house Dean made their special root beer floats and Bayley picked out a movie.
"What did you pick?" Dean asked.
"The Pick-Up Artist." Bayley said.
"Good choice." Dean said as he handed her her drink.
They got situated under the covers and Dean put his arms around Bayley. They snuggled up and pressed play.
"This is nice right?" Dean asked.
"Just like old times." Bayley said as she laid across his stomach.
