"My name is Mariana and I am a brazen hussy" I groan, stumbling into my hotel room. I close the door as quietly as I can and put the keycard on the table. "Yes, yes you are" Kristen says from the sofa. I jump and look at her. "What are you doing up?" I ask, walking over and slumping next to her. "Oh I don't know" she says, glaring at me. "How are you meant to sleep when your best friend disappears from the bar you went to TOGETHER, and then doesn't even come back to the hotel? You could have been dead in a gutter somewhere Riana! Jeez! What do you think cell phones were invented for?" I groan and shake my head. "Was kinda too busy to even think about my cell" I admit. "Kris, honestly, he was to die for!" "They all are" she says, standing up and putting her hands on her hips. "You need to get your shit together so we can check out. I'm all packed, just waiting for you now. I'm so glad we get to go home today, this conference has been bore city!" I nod. "I'll just shower and then I'll be right with you" I say, heading to the bathroom. "Sure" she says sarcastically. "Wash all traces of whatever his name was away." "Colin" I say. "Although the guys he was with called him something else." She's looking at me with a disapproving look as I close the door on her. "How many were there?" she yells. "Three!" I yell back. "Yeah!" she yells. "Hussy!" I ignore her and get under the hot water, scrubbing myself for the next five minutes until I feel human again.
An hour later and we're checking we've got everything before we check out of the hotel and head back home. Kristen still isn't speaking to me properly, if looks could kill I'd be in a box six feet under. "Look" I say as we get to the door. "I'm sorry, ok? I didn't mean for it to happen, but Kris, he was so damn fine!" "Which one?" she sneers. I shake my head. "I know I said there were three of them" I say looking at her. "But I swear I only went back with one." She nods. "I know you're not that much of a slut" she says smiling. I grin. "I'm not saying I wouldn't have been tempted though!" I admit, dodging a slap. We laugh as I open the door. I grab my bag and step into the corridor. "Fuck!" I groan, glancing towards the lift. I turn and try to push past her to get back in the room, but its too late. "Riana?" a voice calls from down the corridor. "Hey toots!" another voice yells. Kristen glares at me. "In our hotel?" she asks, raising an eyebrow. I take a deep breath and turn around. "Hey, um, Colin?" I say. His friends laugh. "Colin?" the one who called me toots laughs. "Wow, I've heard you called some things in my time, but never Colin!" Kristen thinks this is hilarious. "Ah, so this is the fabulous foursome" she says, stepping into the corridor. She looks at them, then quickly looks at me. "No. Fucking. Way." she says. I frown. "What?" I ask, confused. "A word" she says dragging me back into the room and slamming the door behind us.
"You went back with those three last night?" she asks. I groan and nod. "Kinda hot, ain't they?" I smirk. "Kinda hot" she snorts, grabbing her phone. "Kinda freaking hot! Riana, do you know what you've done?" I shake my head as I watch her scroll through her phone. "Oh shit" she groans, thrusting it in my face. I frown as I look at a picture of me and the guys leaving the bar last night. "Who is she?" I read. "Ok" I say giving her the phone back. "Why is this on twitter, and why is it such a big deal?" She groans and opens the door. Colin is stood outside, a grin on his face. "Allow me to introduce myself" he says holding his hand out to her. "I'm..." "Seth Rollins" she groans. I shake my head. "No" I say. "That sounds nothing like Colin." "Doll" toots guy laughs. "Remind me to keep you around, you're a laugh a minute!" "Shut it Ambrose" Seth growls. "Riana, my name is Colby." "Ahhhhhhh" I say, grinning sheepishly. "Figures. I never would have slept with a Colin!" "You didn't sleep with Colby either!" Ambrose yells. "There was no sleeping in that room last night!" Seth looks at me and we both go red. "Hey Ambrose" I say. He appears next to Seth and I smirk. "He was worth every second of the sleep I didn't get" I say, winking. A deep chuckle from down the corridor reminds me that there was another one in the group. "Ahhhhh" I say, looking towards the lift. "The Samoan love god himself!" "Oh so you remember his name do you?" Seth asks, feigning hurt. I laugh. "Awwww come here my little love monkey" I say, pulling him closer and hugging him. "Man you smell good Colby!" "Careful" Ambrose smirks. "That's what started all this off last night. We haven't got time for round six, our car leaves for the airport in five minutes." "So" I say, looking at Kristen. "Explanation time. You know Seth, Colby, Colin, how?" She frowns as she looks at me. "The Shield" she says simply, as if it's meant to mean something to me. I shake my head and stare at her blankly. "Riana" she groans. "These guys are wrestlers with the WWE." I laugh. "Course they are" I say. She stands and looks at me with a serious look on her face. "I wouldn't lie to you" she says. "Why do you think it's on twitter, you leaving the bar with them last night? Fangirls are going crazy now." Ambrose chuckles. "Damn they're getting faster at this" he says. "Congrats toots, welcome to our world. Everyone's gonna know who you are by the end of the day." I shake my head. "No way" I say, finally letting Seth go. He nods, looking at me. "Sorry" he says simply. I'm still shaking my head when the Samoan love god appears. Kristen goes red and hides behind me. "Guys we need to go" he says quietly. Ambrose nods and looks at Seth, who looks at me. I look at him and Ambrose groans. "Fuck sake Colby" he groans. "Kiss her and get it over with will ya? And make it a good one, I'll be marking you out of ten." I'm mid laugh when Colby drags me out of the doorway and along the corridor, not stopping until we've gone round the corner.
"Sorry about him" he says, looking into my eyes as he pins me against the wall. "He can be, well, a bit full on I guess." "Is it true?" I ask quietly. "The wrestler bit?" He groans and nods. I bite my lip and nod too. "Well" I say. "It was nice meeting you, Colin." He frowns as I wriggle out of his grasp and start to walk back towards the others. He grabs my arm and pulls me back to him. "Where are you going?" he asks. "Home" I say simply. "Look, whatever your name is, we had our fun, now it's time to get back to reality. You can move on to whatever girl you've got waiting for you in the next city, and I'll go back to not watching wrestling and not knowing who you are. Win win I say." I pull my arm out of his hand and this time I run away. I push past the love god, Ambrose and Kristen and slam the door to the hotel room behind me. I can hear Ambrose asking what happened, then muffled voices before silence, and Kristen banging on the door. "What is your problem?" she asks as soon as I open it. I pull her in and slam the door. "Panic over dumbass!" she yells. "They've got in the lift already. What the fuck happened then? Seth just walked up, grabbed his bag and carried on walking." I shake my head. "Nothing happened" I say. "I just told him to move on to whatever girl he's got waiting for him in the next city." "You did what?" she shrieks. "Oh my fucking god! Riana how can you be so stupid? That is not something you say to him! Holy shit! The amount of times I've gone through what I'd say to them if I actually met them, and then you go and do this! He was so in to you! You need to go after him. Now." I shake my head. "You have got to be kidding me" I say looking at her. She's not. I can tell by the look on her face she's deadly serious. I know I have to do this. I groan and throw the door open, taking the stairs to the lobby instead of the lift.
"That's her!" a girl yells as I run through reception. "Colby!" I yell. He's at the doors already. "Hey, Colin!" I yell again. This time he stops, turning around slowly. "Riana?" he asks as I run to him. He drops his bag and catches me, wrapping his arms around me as our mouths collide. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around him, moaning as his tongue clashes with mine. "Oh my fucking god" Ambrose groans. "There's tongue action there. I'm gonna have to give him an eleven for this. Do you realise I've never given him an eleven Joe? Fuck! Why does he have to be Mr Romance all of a sudden?" "Can't all be like you, Mr Fuck 'em and chuck 'em" Joe chuckles. Colby and I pull apart and look at each other shyly. "So, yeah" I say as he puts me down. "Uh, bye. Have a good trip." I start to walk off and he growls at me. "Mariana!" he yells. "Don't you dare walk away from me again!" "Or what, Colby?" I ask, turning around and looking at him. "I'll find you" he says. "I swear, I'll find you again." I shake my head and carry on walking back to Kristen.
