One Day

Chapter 1

Mickie's POV

It still amazes to this day how I got so lucky when I snagged the most beautiful woman in the WWE, when I snagged the love of my life, Melina. To most she comes off as this controlling, cold-hearted, bitch of a woman, but if they only knew. Quite a contrast to how she appears, Melina is a soft, kind, and loving woman…but I was so afraid that she had to make the first move...but after it was made there was no going back

She hasn't been the same since that "I Quit" match, her character personality has been the same but her eyes are different, her eyes show just how wounded her pride is, just how broken her spirit is, and that makes me hurt so much. I really wish she would go back to being her normal self anything would be better than this broken woman that stands before me.

This match with Melina and I vs. Beth and Katie Lea was probably the worst match that could've been made. Coming down that ramp I saw her standing there, she was in pain and I could tell. When I turned to ask her if she was ok she gave tried to give me a small smile but it faultered do to the pain. My heart ached at the site of her looking so defeated, she didn't even do her signiture entrance move, I knew then that Melina wasn't going to be the same. I started the match out against the rookie on the roster Katie Lea, she seems like she has potential but she still has a long ways to go.

I go for the tag but Melina just stands there as if some trance with her eyes dead set on Beth, it was a little scary because she looked as if she was possesed. Katie was able to get away and tag in Beth, I knew in my heart that this was going to end badly. After my signiture kick I could see Melina out of the corner of my eye and it seemed as if she had finally been knocked out of the trance and it looked as if things had gone from bad to worse. Her apperance went from stone to mad woman in about 2 seconds flat. She was screaming for the tag, I could see the tears threating to fall when I looked at her, but my heart was telling me that tagging Melina in would only lead to trouble, but the look of raw emotion in her eyes made me betray my heart.

I watched her run into the ring and attack Beth like there was no tomorrow. It was at that moment that I felt my heart begin to race faster. I could tell that this match wasn't going to end the way I wanted it to, and seeing Melina be closelined just verified my thoughts. I could tell loosing this match had just sent Melina's anger and need for revenge into overdrive, and all I could think was watch out Beth Pheonix. Helping Melina to the back only made my love for her grow but broke my heart at the same time. On the way back she finally let the tears that had threaten to fall, fall she cried the entire way to the back and I was there for her the entire time.

I've always told her that she was to damn proud for her own good, but I can't deny that I am the exact same way. Melina's been my friend for so long and she's recently become the object of my affection but don't think for a second that I let that effect my judgement skills. As much as I wanted to hold her in my arms and kiss the pain away I couldn't let myself take advantage of her like that, I would have never been able to forgive myself for it. So like the good friend I helped her pack her bag and offered her a night away from all the drama and a night with her best friend pampering her like no tomorrow. She accepted my offer and that's how we got to this place we're at now...

'Mel sit down, I will get the lights' you'd swear she actually injoyed being in pain the way she won't stay down.

'Mickie please ju-' I really wish she wouldn't worry so much, I may not feel like daises right now but I'm not a damn cripple.

'No Mel, I told you tonight is about you relaxing, now let me take care of you' I'll be damned if she isn't persistant, I really wish she'd just relax.

'Micke I told you I was fine. I don't know why you insist on treating me like I can't do things for myself!'

'Melina you're hurt, now I don't see why you won't just let me take care of you!'

'You know why Micke' she says in a defeated tone

'Mel...You really need to understand that I'd never use any moments of vulnerablity against you' I love you to much.

She sighed, 'I know Mickie it's, it's just...'

'Mel you should know that I'd never use you like Beth did, I lo- like you to much.' 'You're one of my best friends so just relax.' god I hope she didn't notice my slip up

'Now come sit down.' she said as she headed to the couch.

Melina followed, once on the couch she laid her head in Mickie's lap allowing Mickie to thread her fingers through her ebony mane.

She ran her finger up and down Mickie's thigh nervously as she began to speak.

'Mickie…promise me something ok?', she asked quietly.

She quickly replied, 'Anything…'

Melina smiled softly at her answer before continuing.

'Promise me that you won't ever but a belt before me….promise me you'll always be here for me…'

She chuckled but replied 'I'll never put anything or anyone before you… I'll always be here no matter what.'

'Really?' she says looking up in need of an honest answer.

'Really Mel, I'd never forgive myself if I ever did.' and my heart would never let me forget it.

'Thanks Mickie' she says shyly with a small smile as she placed a kiss on her cheek before quickly nestling back into Mickie's lap.

What she failed to see was the pink blush that covered Mickie's cheek. She reached up to touch the spot that Melina had just kissed as a goofy smile made it's way upon her face.

'No problem Lina…'she spoke softly.

Melina's POV

Mickie is the only other person who could make me feel like this. I've never been one to become nervous around someone that catches my eye, and though I couldn't tell you when it happend I'll never forget it. It's a constant battle with my heart and mind. I love Mickie, and not like a friend should.

I'm falling in love with her more and more each day. She shows me a side of her that warms my heart and brings a smile to face every time I see her. She cares about everybody no matter how much they hurt her. I can remember back to that whole Trish Stratus fiasco when Mickie was at her worst.

She'd been hurt and it took a long time for her to trust anyone after that. I guess you could say I'm now in that same boat. I made the mistake of involving myself with Beth Phoenix outside of work, and look where it got me. Broken hearted and betrayed. I couldn't believe that she was willing to put me through what she put me through. She tried to tell me that she was sorry but I could see that no matter what I would never be number one with her, I'd never come first in her life, that belonged to that damn belt. With Mickie it's different, she cares more about me than she cares about that stupid belt. She's probably the only person who cares.

Though I know it's only friendship I wish she would see me as something more. Her taking care of me actually makes my heart swell with excitement and love. I wish there was a way for me to tell her how I feel but the last thing I want or need is for this to get out. I'd probably be the laughing stock of RAW. Maybe one day I'll find the courage to get off my ass and tell her how much I love her….
