She stepped out of the car, locked it and took a second to look up at the huge building in front of her. A hotel. To other people probably just a hotel like many others but to her it meant something more. Not the hotel itself but who she was going in there to meet.
Here comes the girlfriend.
She crossed the parking lot with quick steps, almost a little bounce in them as if she was about to dance. Her feet just did what her heart was doing. Danced on its own. Inside that building was her boyfriend, the one and only Bo Dallas, and she couldn't wait to see him.
Here comes the smile.
There wasn't any problem in getting a key to his room. There never was. He always made sure to let every hotel know there was a possibility of her showing up even though it rarely happened. She traveled as much as he did with her line of work but every once in a while their paths crossed while being on separate roads and she could always come join him. Just like she was about to this early morning.
Here comes the surprise.
She played with one of her braids as the elevator went up. He always loved when she would put her reddish blonde hair in two French braids just behind her ears with the ends hanging in front of her shoulders. Of course she had put it like that this morning and combined the hairstyle with her black skinny jeans and that tight little medium brown top that made her breasts look bigger for some reason. His favourite clothes on her.
Here comes the love.
It was as if time stood still when she finally entered the room. She watched in horror, her face probably looking as shocked as Bo's, as he sat up in bed and stared at her. Next to him Maryse held on tight to the covers, trying to hide away her naked body.
Here comes the pain.
She saw his mouth move and it clearly formed her name but she didn't hear anything at all. There was a loud buzzing sound in her ears as if tidal waves met hurricanes and went through her head at the same time. She couldn't speak. All she could do was turn around and run back into the elevator, far away from the naked couple in bed, far away from everything that hurt way more than anything she had ever experienced before. She stood up against the wall, leaning forward to put her hands on her knees. Finally the buzzing sound cleared out but what she heard next wasn't any better. The sound of her own sobs.
Here comes the tears.
