White Liar
Chapter 1: You better be careful what you do
Aubree sat on the bed of the hotel room and looked on as her boyfriend, John Morrison got dressed to go out with his friends. She had not felt like going out and had asked him to stay in with her. He went into his usual speech about how he was a social person and was expected to go out and hanf with the guys. They had been this way for months. Her begging him to stay and spend a quiet evening alone and him preaching about how his friends needed time to socialize with him outside of work.
"I won't be out all night. I promise when we get back to L. A. we will spend a few days alone. Just the two of us." She nodded her head reluctantly and kissed him as she watched him walk out the door. She laid back on the bed and sighed. There was a knock at the door and she opened it and smiled a little. There before her stood one of her best friends in the world, Mike "The Miz" Mizanin. She and Mike had known each other since they were in college and she had jumped at the chance to take the job with the WWE with creative when it had be offered to her.
"Bree, what are you doing in this hotel room all alone?" he asked as he pushed past her and sat down on the end of the bed.
"Riley is off with Shawn, Paul and Steph and John is...well off where John usually is...with the guys. How come you aren't out with them?" she replied as she closed the door and stood there looking at him . He gave her a sad smile and his blue eyes clouded over with emotion. It was then she knew the answer. Mike had stayed behind at the hotel because his ex girlfriend would be there with the man she left Mike for. "So Maryse is going to be there with Teddy huh?" He nodded slightly in agreement. "Do you wanna talk about it?" She asked sitting down next to him.
They had only been broken up a few months and she had been the first person he had called when he's caught the two of them together in his hotel room. He'd been a complete mess. She had been the one to smack some sense into him.
"Like I said before Mike, if she cheated on you then she wasn't worth your time to begin with. If it makes you feel any better, I was the one who wrote her getting slammed on her face by Beth Phoenix." He smiled a little at that comment and put his arm around her shoulder lazily. She had always been a good friend to him. He'd had a crush on her from the time they had been in college but had never had the balls to act on it. When she had gotten her job with the WWE, he thought that could all change. But he ended up with Maryse and she had ended up with John. He was now kicking himself for not asking her out before John had.
"I know Bree. I know. I mean, I should not let her bother me. I am after all the Chick Magnet." She rolled her eyes and smiled a little at his comment. "Hey, you wanna order an insane amount of room service and watch a movie?" She smiled at her friend and nodded slightly.
John sat at the table with the rest of his friends and looked down at his drink. He couldn't believe that Aubree was always on his case about hanging out and spending more time with her. If had known when he asked her out that she was going to end up being such a nag, he would have saved himself the trouble. He downed the rest of his drink and looked up when he felt someone sit across from him. She was pretty, with her fiery red hair pulled back away from her face. Her green eyes smiled at him as she was obviously looking him up and down. She wasn't the ditz she portrayed on t v and truth be told, he had harbored a thing for her since he began in the WWE.
"To what do I owe the honor?" he asked as she sat across from him and cracked a slight smile.
"How long do we have to keep playing these games before you realize that Aubree Sinclaire is not what you need?" She asked with a certain amount of venom in her voice at the mention of his girlfriend's name?
"I told you baby, we have to keep this low key until the time is right. I promise you I will break up with her soon. Or get her to break up with me. Whichever comes first. Then we can be out in the open about our relationship. But right now, I think I would like to head back to your hotel room so you can prove to me why Aubree is the wrong girl for me." She smiled wickedly as she grabbed his arm and walked out toward her car. It was a bit chilly out. But that was autumn in the south. Warm days and chilly nights. They got to her car and he pulled on her arm to stop her from entering it. She turned and smiled at him as he crashed into her, pinning her against the side of the car. Their lips met briefly and then they looked around the parking lot to make sure no one was around before they took things further. He then pulled her to him again, his hands resting along her sides just underneath her jacket as he momentarily deepened the kiss before ducking into her car.
A few spaces away, he sat there looking at them. His face was red with anger. How could anyone do that to Aubree. She was the sweetest person in the world. And he wasn't just saying that because she was his cousin. He picked up the phone and looked at the picture he has snapped of the two of them and sent it to her. She had asked him to keep an eye out. She had her suspicions for a little while. He'd told her she was crazy at first. But as he sat in his car now, he wanted nothing more than to walk over and pull him out of the red head's car and beat him to a pulp. No way was his behavior going to be excused. This was his cousin. She was like a sister to him. And if there was one thing you didn't do , it was mess with Cody's family.
