"Come on Edge, so she left you at least that saves you from getting married."
Edge looked at his friend before taking a shot of whiskey, "We were together for six years Randy, then she just took off and left me a note saying she couldn't go through with the wedding, what am I supposed to tell everyone?"
"You guys were only engaged for like a month it wasn't like you guys sent out invitations or anything." Edge's friend Randy replied as he took a sip of the drink in front of him, it literally made no sense to him what Edge was doing.
"Yeah but everyone knew that I was engaged, if they don't hear anything soon they will all know that something happened." Edge responded, he needed to be saved the humiliation of being dumped and having to deal with the 'I'm so sorry' and the 'you were always way too good for her anyway.'
"Edge think about it, you're twenty nine and you've been with what, one, two women?" Randy asked, "What you need is a few one night stands."
"No what I need is to get married, my Grandmother put in her will that if I was not married by the time I was thirty that I couldn't get my full inheritance and I want my money, I mean I really did want to marry Maria but I always knew that the money was there and I want it."
"Does it say anything about how how long you have to be married?" Randy asked.
"It says that I need to be married for a year at least, she didn't want me to just get married for two minutes and claim it, that stupid bitch knew me way to well," Edge cleared his throat before touching his heart, "may she rest in peace."
"Well you got four months to make the worst mistake of your life." Randy told him.
"Would your girlfriend like to know that you have no intent on marrying her?"
Randy rolled his eyes as he drunk a sip of his beer, "She knows how I feel about this stuff."
"I give it three months before you get engaged my friend, Mickie has other options."
"Like who?" Randy asked.
"Like that guy hitting on her at the bar." Edge pointed to Randy's girlfriend, "He looks pretty interested."
"I'll be right back." Randy stated.
Edge smirked as his head turned to the door of the bar they were in and he watched two girls come in, one was a kind short blond girl, very attractive, looked like she might make a deal with him, the other was a red head who looked like she probably wouldn't make the deal in a million years, but she was attractive in a different way then her friend, she was smoking hot, which made him kind of want her, Edge turned his head back to Randy as he and Mickie slid into the booth, "So you get that taken care of Randy?"
"I did." Randy said as he kissed his girlfriend's head.
"I don't see what the big deal was, he was just being nice."
"There is no just being nice with guys Mickie." Randy replied, "Right Edge?"
"Right." Edge agreed as his eyes drifted back over to the red head.
"I spy with my little eye Edge checking out that girl over there." Mickie stated with a snarky smirk.
"She wouldn't agree to it Edge, just based on looks I can tell you that girl will kick your ass if you try anything like that marriage deal."
"You don't think I can do it?" Edge asked.
"No I don't."
"Well," Edge drunk another shot that had just been put on the table, "Challenge accepted."
"Can you believe that Candice was given the promotion?" Lita asked, "I've been working there for ten years, starting as an intern, and they promote some girl who's been working there for like a half-second over me, I need a beer." Lita sat down in a booth with her best friend Trish, "Its unbelievable."
"I know, I was kind of hoping that I would get promoted I've been working there for as long as you, but Candice was actually really good at her job." Trish replied as a waiter arrived, "Give me a gin and tonic."
"A beer." Lita said before the waiter walked off, "Candice was good at her job, she was also good at giving Vince and Shane their daily workouts."
Trish giggled slightly before giving a smile, "Come on Li, you can't blame her, this is man's world and she wanted to get ahead."
"So you're saying that you'd sleep with Vince or Shane?" Lita asked.
"That isn't what I'm saying," Trish grabbed her drink from the waiter, "Thank you, but you have to be open to thing Lita, seriously when was the last time you even had a date?"
"I just got out of a relationship, you know that." Lita replied as she took a sip of her drink, "I don't need a man to insure my success."
"You didn't just get out of a relationship, honey I live with you and the last time you had a relationship was six years ago with Matt."
"Don't bring up that jerk." Lita commanded.
"I'm not planning on bringing him up again, its just you are too old to not be thinking about settling down and you can't settle down until you actually give some guy a chance."
"I am twenty eight and perfectly happy being single." Lita assured her, "Plus it isn't like anyone is interested."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Trish stated as she took a sip from her drink.
"What do you mean?" Lita asked.
"That blond guy hasn't took his eyes off of you since we got in here." Trish said slyly pointing her drink in the direction of Edge.
Lita quickly looked over there before turning back, "He's with a girl."
"That girl is obviously with the guy who is grabbing her ass right now, plus he kissed her head a couple of minutes ago, so I'm think that they're the couple and he's the third wheel."
"Well he is kind of cute, but I need to be focused on my career." Lita told Trish.
"Then lets make a deal, if he makes the first move you go on a date with him, unless he's a creep." Trish proposed.
"Fine, but I don't think he's going to make a move on me Trish." Lita said as the waiter came up to them.
"A glass of our finest scotch."
"I didn't order this." Lita replied ready to send back the drink.
"This is from the man over there," the man gestured towards Edge before walking away.
Trish smirked as Lita looked back over at Edge who was by then supporting a smile, "Well it looks like I win."
"Shut up Trish."
Edge stood up from his table while giving Mickie and Randy a smirk before walking over to Lita, he was hoping to sound classy as hell because if he didn't he was going sound like one hell of a creep, "Hi I'm Edge Copeland and I couldn't help but realize that you are the hottest girl in this bar."
"So you came over here because you think I'm hot not a good person?" Lita asked.
"So your one of those girls huh?" Edge asked, she was falling directly into his web.
"What do you mean?" Lita asked curiously making sure her voice had a sly tone to it.
"That you're someone who thinks that the only thing that matters in personality, someone who is more focused on being a career woman than one in a committed relationship."
"So you've been eavesdropping on us?" Lita asked.
"You caught me red handed," Edge gave her a smile as he sat down next to her, "so can I get a name?"
"Lita Dumas and I'm not interested in you." Lita replied.
"Well that's one long name, you have trouble spelling it when you were a kid?" Edge asked.
Lita rolled her eyes, "No but I don't like you sitting here."
Edge smirked at her, he liked the attitude "So Lita what do you do?"
"She writes for McMahon Magazine." Trish answered before Lita had the chance, "I'm Trish by the way, Lita's best friend."
"Nice to meet you." Edge said before turning back to Lita, "So you work for McMahon huh? I actually grew up with his daughter."
"You know Stephanie?" Lita asked, Stephanie was also in a very high position of power where she worked.
Edge gave her a sly smile, "In more ways than one."
"Oh." Lita responded not sure of how to actually reply to that, "You were with Stephanie?"
"Briefly, but she actually had a long relationship with my cousin Chris."
"Well what Stephanie does in her own time is none of my business, I work for her."
"If you want I can talk her into giving you a bonus, we managed to stay kind of friendly over the years and it kind of helps that I have some pictures she really might not want to get out, after all they were taken when she was eighteen so not exactly child pornography."
Lita laughed a bit before putting her hand on the table, "You were able to convince Stephanie McMahon to take nudes?"
"Who said I convinced her, she wasn't always so conservative."
"So why do you still have the photos?"
"Blackmail, I'd bet you anything that she hates my guts by now."
"You'd be willing to do that for a girl you just met, what's the catch?"
"I need a wife."
"Very funny now what's the real catch?"
"That is the catch, you be my wife for one year and I will not only make sure you get a bonus but one hefty promotion too."
"I don't sleep my way to the top."
"This isn't sleeping your way to the top, I'm not even saying you have to sleep with me, although I wouldn't mind it."
"Really, you want me to be your wife and your acting like a sleaze, I don't see this going in your favor." Lita said as she got up from the booth, Trish had left her alone with Edge, who had proven to be a huge tool.
"Wait, I really need a wife." Edge stopped her as he purposely made it look like he was begging. but he seriously really wanted his money.
"Why?" Lita asked.
"So I can get my inheritance."
Lita slapped Edge, "I'm not going to be your ticket to money."
"Its ten million dollars." Edge told her hoping that would convince her, sure that wasn't the complete amount but she didn't have to know that.
As much as she hated it Lita found herself looking back at Edge, "Ten million dollars?"
"Yes, we only have to be married a year then we split it and never have to see each other again."
Lita looked down unsure of how to respond, her ego told her to leave and never talk to him again but there was one thing stopping her, debt. She had been paying student loans and bank loans ever since she got out on her own, she hadn't told Trish but she had actually had missed a few payments and if she didn't act quick then she would lose everything, "Five million dollars to marry you for a year?"
"That's the offer."
"What about the cost of the divorce, wouldn't I lose some if it?" Lita asked.
"No, trust me Lita I've got friends in high places we can get a speedy divorce for five hundred bucks." Edge replied remembering that a good friend owed him a favor.
"Well that must be nice."
Edge nodded with a smile before reaching out his hand, "So do we have a deal?"
Lita sighed as she sucked up her pride, she needed the money so with a bit of reluctance she shook his hand, "We have deal."
A/N Thoughts? Should I continue?
