"No Ken don't hang up" Candice pleaded as her husband put down the phone.
She sighed as she put her cell phone into her tiny black bag and looked out of the window. The rain was battering off the window pane and Candice smiled softly to herself.
"The weathers almost as miserable as i feel" she thought to herself as she stood up and walked towards her bed.
She examined her newly manicured nails before smoothing down the white linen bed covers. She threw herself down on the bed and stared blankly up at the ceiling. She could never sleep in hotel rooms, at least not anymore. Ever since she got married the idea of fame and travelling the world become less appealing. All she ever wanted to do was go home to her own bed and cuddle up to her husband. The only reason she carried on with the WWE was because of her fans. She used to comfort herself with the night time calls back home, just talking about anything and everything until she fell asleep. But lately Ken hadn't wanted to talk anymore, the calls were becoming shorter and shorter every night until he snapped at her to grow up and stop complaining about being home sick like a little girl. Candice's eyes glistend with tears as she recalled the phone call from moments ago.
/Flashback/
"For gods sake Candice can't you go one night without complaining?" asked Ken with contempt in his voice.
"I..i'm sorry" Candice stuttered "It's just i miss you so much while i'm away"
"It's your job you travel deal with it already" He told her shortly.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked "It's like you don't even wanna talk to me anymore"
"Well maybe i don't!" he yelled.
Candice jumped slightly as he shouted down the phone at her.
"What do you mean?" she asked slowly.
"Maybe i realised i made a mistake" He explained "look Candice you're a beautiful girl, but i hate seeing you out there wearing next to nothing, i hate seeing the way those guys stare at you, don't you have any respect for yourself?"
"Honey it's just acting" she said quickly
"It's not thought Candy, you've always gotta be the centre of attention" He told her
"I'll quit, i'll change please Ken" she begged
"Candice forget it..i er..well" he started
Candice gasped "Oh my god you met someone else!"
"Look i have to go i've got an early appointment with a patient"
"No wait!" she pleaded " No Ken don't hang up"
The dial tone rang in Candice's ears before she disconnected the phone and placed it back in her little black bag
/end of flashback/
Candice shot up as there was a knock on the door. She quickly wiped her eyes and ran a hand through her long dark brown hair. She stood up and walked slowly across the room towards the door.
"Who is it?" she called
"It's Torrie and i've got Victoria with me" a female voice came through the door.
Candice sighed and put a smile on her pretty face as she opend the door to her two best friends on raw.
"Hey girls!" she exclaimed brightly
She hugged them both and led them into the room quickly checking her reflection in the mirror. She sat down on a chair facing the Torrie and Victoria who had taken a seat on the black leather sofa.
"So did you two have fun at the club tonight?" she asked
"Well it was fun for Victoria she can go after all the guys she's not tied down like us to!" exclaimed Torrie smiling at Victoria who was now blushing.
"I didn't go after all the guys..." Victoria said slowly.
"No just the blonde hottie" laughed Torrie stucking her tongue out.
Candice tried to laugh at her friends good natured teasing but the as soon as Torrie brought up marriage Candice had a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"So how's Ken anyway?" asked Victoria "finished your nightly chat already?"
Candice smiled at Victoria.
"He's fine" She replied trying to keep her voice even "he had to go, he's got an early appointment tomorrow"
Victoria nodded "So what movie tonight girls?"
"Can we skip it tonight, im er feeling kinda tired" Candice told them.
"Are you ok?" asked Torrie looking concerned at her best friend.
Candice smiled at the blonde beauty "fine, you know it's been a long day with the show and i guess the travellings caught up with me"
"Ok then sweetie" Torrie said giving her a hug before leaving with Victoria.
Victoria turned around as she reached the door "But we're def on for tomorrow right?" she asked
"Of course" Candice said before faking a yawn.
Candice stood up and walked to her bed and pulled back the covers. She climbed in and lay on her side. She played with her wedding ring thinking about everything that had happend. Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks and onto the pillow until she eventually fell asleep.
