"Why do we have so much stuff!?" Kylie said as she peered around the corner.
Phil Brooks looked up from his iPhone as he sat comfortable on his bed in the apartment him and Kylie shared in his favorite place. He raised an eye brow at his girlfriend. "You mean why do you have so much stuff?" he said. Kylie rolled her eyes and turned back, gazing around the closet.
Phil gave Kylie everything (well most of everything) even though she barely asked for anything, and one of the things he gave her was the most amazing walk in closet when she moved in.
Dark brown wood lined every wall of the closet with shelves, drawers and plenty of places to hang things. To the left was Kylie clothing and shoes, and to the right was Phil's. The whole back wall was a mixture of both of their wrestling attires – and to the both of them that was the most important part.
Over the years Kylie had kept every single wrestling attire, because to her each item had held some sort of memories from her now 6 year long career.
As Kylie began to pick up some of the clothing that lay on the floor, Phil appeared in the doorway. "Maybe you should start to get rid of some stuff" he said looking around the room. With a pile of clothes in her hand Kylie turned at him. "No way!" she said. Phil chuckled. "You're running out of room!" he argued. "So maybe I'll just start using up some of your side" she smirked. "That's now how this works" he said. Kylie rolled her eyes and began to turn away when Phil grabbed her waist. She let out a scream followed by laughter as he playfully threw her over his shoulder and carried her back into their bedroom.
Gently he laid his girlfriend down on the bed room floor. Still laughing she looked up at him as he smiled and sat back down on the bed. "I really do need to clean that closet" she said sitting back up. "Why? It's just going to be a mess again once we're back on the road after the rumble." He said. "I'm happy the Royal Rumble's in Chicago this year." She replied pushing her brown hair to the side ignoring his initial point. "It's good to be home." She said quietly with a small smile curving on his light pink lips.
"I like when you call Chicago home." Phil said looking down at her. "Well we've been together for 4 years; I've lived here for 3 years so I think by now it's safe to call this home." She smiled up at him. "Plus I didn't mind leaving that apartment in Tampa behind." She smirked. Phil nodded and got up from the bed. He leaned down and planted a kiss on Kylie's forehead softly. "I'm going to go for a run." He said and headed down stairs.
Kylie sat in the room and stared blankly once he left.
She was in love with him. She loved their relationship. She loved her career. Everything at that very moment was perfect, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel as if something was missing. She sighed, and despite what Phil said, she returned to the closet to try and pick up the mess of clothes.
"tonight here in Chicago, we have the Royal Rumble, so here to kick that off we have the beautiful WWE Diva Kylie." Said the radio host across the table. Kylie smiled and began to speak into the mic. "Thank you" she said politely. "Can you explain to everyone why the Royal Rumble is so important?" the host said.
Kylie crossed her legs under the table and prepared to answer the very cliché question. "Royal Rumble is important because it's the official start of the road to WrestleMania." She said smiling continuously. "Which any wrestling fan knows is the payperview of all payperviews." She finished.
The radio host went onto ask her more questions.
"So you had a match a WrestleMania last year and you have a match at the rumble this year, so I think the obvious question is – will we see you at WrestleMania?" he asked eyeing her. Kylie giggled. "You never know."
Over the past years, Kylie had become the face of the divas division, not only because she had the all American girl look like past diva Kelly Kelly had and the talent and passion like Trish or Mickey but because she carried herself well. After meeting Phil, he not only helped her in the ring but he helped bring out the amazing bubbly and carefree personality that got her the job in the WWE in the first place.
The interview went on; when finally they hit the question she knew they would end up stumbling upon. "Unfortunately for me, you're not single." He joked. Kylie felt herself blushing, but kept her composure. "You recently confirmed you're dating WWE superstar CM Punk." He said bluntly. Kylie nodded with a smile. "Yeah." She said plainly. "Now how long have you been dating, because you just recently confirmed it?"
"4 years." She said, feeling her lips pulling into a smile. "Why wait so long to tell the WWE universe, because there were rumors for a while, right?" the man asked scratching at his facial hair and looking down at the paper that held some of the notes he prepared before they went on air. Kylie thought seriously about the question, because she knew even if it was just a Chicago area radio – the interview would end up on YouTube and dirt websites within hours.
"Well we became really good friends first, so that's were a lot of the rumors stemmed from." She looked down shyly as she began to go on.
"But I think that the WWE universe certainly doesn't take it easy on us girls, and they're very tough critics. I didn't want people to look at me as "CM Punk's girlfriend" and I didn't want people to say he was the reason for my push or success. Even though he was an amazing help with his support – I did this on my own and I feel like now I'm in a place that people will see that and it won't so much matter if I'm in a relationship with him."
Kylie walked back into the locker room, sweat still dripping off her body – her red attire sparkling under the dim locker room lights. Immediately she reached for her bottle of water first, gulping it down instantly after winning a tag team match.
"We did good I think" Kaitlyn shrugged from the other side of the room, just as sweaty as Kylie. Kylie nodded and smiled.
Kylie and Kaitlyn both we're in two different feuds and storylines. Kaitlyn and AJ feuded on smack down, meanwhile Kylie and Layla battled on RAW. With the divas division finally starting to look better – WWE found the best way to tie all them together and add heat to both feuds on the road to wrestle mania.
Kylie picked up a towel and started to try and dry some of the sweat. She took the last sip of her water and checked the time. "I need to get another bottle of water and find Phil." She said throwing the old bottle into the recycling bin and headed to the door. "And I agree, we did great tonight" she smiled big before leaving her friend behind, and heading back out into the chilly hallway.
Heading to catering first, she got lucky when she walked in and realized she didn't have to find Phil because he was now right in front of her. He smiled big from across the room the second he noticed her, despite being in the middle of a conversation with John Cena. She approached them right away. "Hey Kylie." John said plainly, giving her the original John Cena smile. Kylie offered him a smile. Even though Phil wasn't the guy to be supper big on PDA, he wasn't ever shy to hold on to what was his in some way or another. Kylie could feel Phil's hand fall into the arch of her back keeping her at his side.
"Well I got to go find Mike to congratulate him." Cena said. "Congratulate him on what?" Kylie questioned since he was referring to her past on screen love interest and good friend Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin. "You didn't here?" John asked, less interested in leaving so quickly. Phil and Kylie both shook their heads, both clueless as to what was going on. "Him and Maryse got engaged finally." John said with a genuine smile.
Kylie didn't just feel happiness for him and Maryse, she felt jealousy too. "That's great!" Kylie said, her voice cracking in an awkward manner. Phil didn't say anything. "It only took him four years." John said sarcastically letting out a chuckle. He began to trail off, this time giving Phil and Kylie a wave before disappearing out the double doors and into the main hallway.
She felt a weird tension fall between them when the word "engaged" was said. She knew his thoughts on marriage. She knew them all so well simply from a tweet when he answered a fans question. It wasn't that she didn't understand his thoughts on marriage, because she did. Before her, he didn't even want to be in a relationship and he certainly didn't want to be married. She hated whenever it was even brought up, because of how weird things always seemed to get and how nauseous she felt seeing his reaction to something as minor as the words.
Still, she didn't want to be with anyone else.
"I need to start to prepare for my match" he said, finally breaking the silence. Kylie just gave him a smile that failed to show some sort of emptiness. "I love you." He said low but still filled with so much emotion. Kylie nodded. "I love you too" she said, before he decided to leave a kiss on her lips and head for the door.
