Hi guys! Sorry it took me so long to write another chapter. I lost my muse there for a bit. Hope you guys enjoy!!
Japan 2011
Elodie looked around the Tokyo airport and sighed as she picked up her bags from the baggage claim.
Elodie took a piece of paper out of her pocket and read it aloud.
"Pick-up will be at 9 am, lunch will be at 12. We look forward to training you. Your guide will be Fergal Devitt. He will be holding a sign with your name. Good luck!"
Elodie folded the piece of paper and began to look around. After about thirty minutes of searching Elodie came upon a smiling man with a space themed shirt. Elodie raised an eyebrow as she walked up to him.
"Hi, I am Elodie Quinn. Are you from the dojo?" She asked with a raised eyebrow as the man grabbed one of her bags.
"We may be a wee bit late, but I think I can talk for you." The man said as an Irish accent rolled past his tongue.
"It's only 7 am." Elodie said as she ran trying to catch up with the man who had began to maks his way through the crowd.
He laughed as he stopped in front of a set of double doors.
"Maybe where you are from sweetheart, here in Tokyo it is almost noon." He replied showing Elodie his watch.
Elodie stared at him with wide eyes as he flagged down a taxi.
"I won't get into trouble will I?"
"Eh, not too much. Like I said, I'll talk for you since you are my responsibility." He said as Elodie looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"You act as if it is such a burden"
"Well you wouldn't have been a burden if you would have shown up on time." He said with a goofy smile as Elodie glared at him.
"I can already tell you are going to be a pain in my ass."
"Eh, not the worst anyone has called me. By the way, I'm Fergal." He said as he held out his hand.
Elodie reluctantly shook his hand as he opened the door to the taxi.
"Lead the way spaceman."
Present Day
"I really hate you guys." Elodie said with a glare as Kevin and Sara looked at each other.
"Did you really think that I would fall for this?"
"Look, you knew you were going to see him sooner or later. We just decided it should be sooner rather than later." Kevin said as Sara looked at him with a glare. "What?" He added.
"Elodie, we did this for you. Fergal loves you. You love him. Why can't you guys rekindle what was lost?"
Elodie laughed as she looked at her longtime friends.
"Love? Any love that I had for him left when he chose wrestling over me. He knew I couldn't do the long distance thing and he still left." Elodie said as Sara shook her head.
"Have you ever heard the saying 'If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were'. Maybe you getting the job here in the states is your sign. That is why you came because you were meant to be together."
"I came because of the paycheck Hunter offered me. I couldn't pay the rent doing shows at the armory." Elodie said rolling her eyes.
"Why are you still wearing the ring then?" Kevin asked as Elodie quickly hid her hand.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Elodie, you are so full of shit. He gave you a claddagh ring on your second anniversary. Everyone knew how much that ring meant to you. Hell, the dirt sheets even got wind of it." Kevin said as Elodie looked down.
"I just like the ring is all."
"Keep telling yourself that." Kevin said as Elodie picked up her bag.
"I'll talk to you later." She said as she stormed out the door.
"I love her like a sister, but she won't listen." Kevin said as Sara nodded.
"We planted the seed. Let's see if it will bloom."
