Chapter 2
Later that night…
I smiled as I walked with Becky and Ashley. It was the end of night and everyone was leaving the arena and going to the next city for Raw the next night. I would be riding with my girls. As we walked into the parking lot and to our car, I heard a commotion. The three of us quickly looked over. I smiled.
"Madden 16 Champion!" Colby shouted as he held up his trophy in the air.
I laughed. He was standing with Kevin.
"Shut the hell up, Colby!" Ettore shouted. "We get the point!"
I laughed when I saw Ettore with Austin and Kofi not too far away. I looked at Becky and Ashley. They were laughing and smiling too.
"Say something," Becky said.
I nodded my head.
"The champ is here!" I shouted.
The guys all looked in my direction. Ashley and Becky laughed behind me.
"Or should I say, 'The Boss is here!'" I shouted moving so they could see me.
"Mercedes!" Austin shouted. "Get over here."
I smiled. "I'll be back in a few," I said to Ashley and Becky.
"Take your time," Ashley said. Becky nodded her head.
I grinned. I then made my way across the parking lot and over to them. "What's up, boys?"
"About ready to head out," Kofi said.
"Same with me, Ash, and Becks."
"I'd like to get out of here," Kevin said. "But Colby still won't shut up about his win."
"And as the host of Up Up Down Down, I am getting annoyed myself," Austin said.
"Colby has the bragging rights. He won the tournament. Swagger should have given more than what he did to have won that trophy!"
"Thank you," Colby said.
"Whatever, dude," Ettore said.
"Yeah, let's just get going," Kofi said.
"Later, peeps," Austin said.
"Bye, guys," I said.
"Drive safe, Mer."
"Say that to Ashley. She's driving. And Becky has shotgun."
"Well, have a good drive," Ettore said.
"You too." I give him a bear hug.
"My turn," Austin said. I laughed as I hugged him. He then climbed into the passenger's side of his, Kofi, and Ettore's rental car. Kofi was in the driver's seat. Ettore was in the back.
"Bye, guys," I waved as they back out of the parking lot. Kofi honked the horn signaling a good-bye. I smiled. I turned my attention to Kevin and Colby.
"How are you getting home?" I asked Colby.
"I'm driving him," Kevin said. "Davenport is on the way to Chicago."
"Okay."
"Yeah."
"Kevin is actually going to crash with me. Then he's going to drive the rest of the way to Chicago in the morning," Colby said.
"Cool and smart," I said.
"Yes," Kevin said. "I can drive by myself on the way to Chicago. It'll be the daytime."
"Excellent point."
"Mercedes!" Becky shouted.
Mercedes looked toward where Ashley and Becky were waiting for her.
"Come on, hun," Ashley said.
"I'll be right there!" I shouted back. I turned my attention to Kevin and Colby again. "So I'll see you for Raw, Kevin. Drive safe."
"Thanks," Kevin said. He went to get into the car.
I smiled at Colby. He smiled back. "It was great seeing you!"
"You too!" Colby replied.
"Text me or call me anytime!"
"You do the same to me!"
"Sure," I said.
Colby laughed. "Have a good ride with Ash and Becks. Tell them I said bye. And tell Becky to tell Fergal I said hi."
"Yes, and yes. Bye."
"Bye," Colby said. He winked at me.
I grinned. I quickly headed over to my car where my girls were waiting for me.
"Sorry," I said, climbing into the backseat.
"Its fine, hun," Ashley said. "I just want to get going."
"I get that."
Ashley smiled. "Buckle up."
I smiled. I closed my door and grabbed onto my seatbelt, buckling up.
"You good?" Ashley asked.
"Yep," I replied.
"Good." Ashley put the car in reverse and backed out of the parking space. She then put the car in drive and slowly made her way through the parking lot.
"So what happened with Colby?" Becky asked as Ashley pulled out onto the main road from the arena.
"Just some chitchat," I said. "Colby is still bragging about being Madden Champ. New Day and Kevin were annoyed but over it."
"What did Colby say?" Ashley asked.
"Not much. I asked how he was getting home. He said Kevin was driving him and then he was staying overnight with him."
"That's good," Becky said. "It was nice to see Colby. He looks great."
"Hell yeah!" I exclaimed. "That man is fucking hot as hell!"
Becky and Ashley laughed.
"Tell us about it, Mercedes," Ashley said.
"Colby has an amazing bod. Those abs and muscles. God damn! Now we know one reason why Zahra wanted me," I said.
Ashley and Becky laughed again.
"I agree," Ashley said. "He is hot as hell."
"He's better sculpted than the statue of David!" I exclaimed once more.
My girls laughed again.
"Colby did say to tell Fergal he says hi, Becks," I said.
"Yeah, I will definitely pass the message along," Becky said. "Now there is another fucking hot man!"
Ashley and I laughed.
"Yes, Fergal has some very nice abs and muscles too," I said.
"Oh, yes, and they're all mine! And I would like to have that hot body on top of me right now!"
Ashley and I died of laughter. We were not fazed at all by what she said.
"You have to wait a few more days for that," Ashley said.
"I know. But once we are alone, I'm going to rock his world!" Becky said.
I laughed. I loved Becky with all my heart. But I myself couldn't wait to talk to Colby soon.
