Chapter 3

Aidan

The training weekend started the next morning and when I arrived at the Greenock Sports Center I could see that there was a diverse group of people who were participating. Amber was with Maxine and Amanda Rose but she noticed me come in and smiled at me to acknowledge me. I found a seat and got ready to watch the morning session. Those in the class would be at different stages in their training. Some would have already had some training like Amber and Amanda Rose and some would have had no training at all. Amber was warming up with the others and she looked nice in shorts and a t-shirt. As the session got under way I had eyes only for Amber. She seemed to be able to pick things up by just watching and was able to help the others who didn't pick things up so quickly. The first session was all about falling and rolling correctly which was vital to avoid getting hurt in the ring. The trainees wouldn't be able to move onto learning anything else until they could fall and roll safely. I knew Amber already knew how to fall and roll safely. So she didn't have any problems with the exercises they were asked to do. At the end of the session it was lunchtime and the trainees were going to watch videos and DVDs. They had been required to bring a cut lunch and I had done so as well. Amber joined me and we talked quietly discussing the others at the camp.

Amber

Aidan and I talked quietly, discussing the others at the weekend and how they were doing. From watching Aidan had gotten a good idea of how everyone was doing. There were some who just weren't going to cut it and would probably be cut at some point. There was no point them carrying on training if in the long run they weren't going to be any good. The DVDs and videos we watched were of WWE and TNA wrestlers and we were encouraged to start thinking of ideas for our gimmick or character and our gear. For me I already had a character and gear so I was sorted. I did however pick up some cool ideas for moves and things I could do. The afternoon session was all about learning moves holds and throws. I learnt a lot of new stuff to add to my repertoire. I was conscious of Aidan watching me as I learnt the new moves, holds and throws and thankfully managed to avoid any stuff ups in front of him. At the end of the session we warmed down and then we had free time until the evening session where we watched the experienced wrestlers train.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you train tonight," I said to Aidan.

"You'll be able to see the moves I'm working on adding to my repertoire," Aidan said.

"Awesome," I said.

We headed out of the gym and Aidan drove us in to Greenock central There we checked out the shops and did some shopping. It was great to spend some time enjoying Aidan's company. We had fish and chips for dinner then headed back to the Greenock Sports Centre

Aidan

When we got back to the Greenock Sports Centre it was time for the experienced pro wrestlers to train. I changed into a pair of league shorts, kick pads and knee pads and a t-shirt then joined the others in the ring. After I'd done my warm-ups we started training. I could hear Amber calling out encouragement as I practiced various moves holds and throws and bumping for more advanced throws and moves. Then Kenny and I began working out what we'd do in our match. As Amber was going to manage me she would have a part to play too. This would be worked out before the show the next night. When it was time for me to take a break I joined Amber.

"You're amazing. I seriously love the moves you were working on," Amber said.

"Thanks," I said, "You're going to be amazing too," I said.

"It will be a long time before I'm anywhere near as good as you," I said.

"You might be surprised. You're doing incredibly well now," I said.

"Only time will tell I guess," Amber said.

We smiled at each other and cuddled up to watch what the others were doing. All too soon it was time for me to get back into it. I got back in the ring and began practicing various spots that could be used in matches.

Amber

I was really enjoying watching Aidan train. He was absolutely amazing and looked totally sexy in his league shorts and t-shirt. I was learning loads just from watching him and the other experienced wrestlers train. At the end of the session training was over for the day and we were dismissed.

"Get some rest and relaxation everyone and we'll see you back here tomorrow ready for some more hard work," our trainer said.

I was looking forward to the next day where we'd be working on our characters and things like acting and showmanship.

"Shall we do something this evening?" Aidan asked, coming up to me.

"Sure why not," I said.

"I will go and shower and then we can go," Aidan said.

"I should shower too," I said.

So I headed to the showers and after enjoying a hot shower I dried off and dressed and packing my training gear away headed outside. Aidan hadn't come out so I waited by his car until he emerged.

"Sorry babe there was a queue for the showers," Aidan said.

"It's fine," I said.

The other LWWA girls had congregated by Maxine's car.

"Guys I'm going with Aidan so I'll see you back at Carmel's place," I said.

Aidan

I smiled as Amber told the other girls where she was going. It would be awesome to spend the evening alone with Amber. Just the two of us. After we got going we discussed where we were going to go.

"How about we grab some food then go clubbing? I feel like partying," I said.

"Sure thing," Amber said.

So we got some takeaway dinner then drove to the Greenock clubs.

"This is awesome," Amber said to me as we jammed to the beat of a fast song.

"I'm so glad we've gotten together. I'm having an awesome time with you," I said.

I smiled at Amber happily. Then a song by The Doors came on and my smile broadened.

"I love this song. I'm even thinking of using it as my entrance music at Dublin Domination. Just for that night," I said.

"That would be cool," Amber said.

A slow song came on then and we moved close together. Amber's arms were wrapped around my neck and her body was pressed against mine. I felt my body growing hot as we danced and Amber looked at me her eyes growing wide then moved away from me a bit.

"I'm sorry. That shouldn't have happened," I said an embarrassed look on my face.

"I know you are in love with me but I didn't realize I turned you on that much," Amber said.

I burst out laughing.

"Well now you know how much you turn me on baby," I said.

Amber

I tried not to glance down at Aidan but it was very hard not to. He must have been very uncomfortable but I didn't say anything more.

"I'll be fine in a few minutes," Aidan said, guessing what I was thinking.

He smiled at me and we resumed dancing.

"Try to think about something other than me," I advised him.

"That's what I am doing," Aidan said.

It wasn't long before he seemed to be ok again.

"Don't tell anyone what happened tonight," Aidan said to me.

"I won't," I assured him."

"Are you coming over to Dublin Domination?" Aidan asked me.

"I'd like to," I said.

"Wanna ride with me?" Aidan asked.

"Would love to. I know I'd only be a fan there but that's ok," I said.

"We would stay with my parents in Clondalkin," Aidan told me.

"Awesome," I said.

"Have you been to Dublin before?" Aidan asked me

"Yeah a few times," I said.

Aidan

It was great that Amber would be coming with me to Ireland for Dublin Domination. She would be able to meet my mam and da as well.

"So are you and Kenny all organized for your match tomorrow?" Amber asked me.

"Yeah we are," I said.

I told Amber what she would be doing and she smiled. Kenny was working face and I was working heel so she'd be working heel and would interfere to help me and distract the referee so I could use dirty tactics.

"Have I told you I've got this tiger striped mini dress to wear tomorrow when I manage you," Amber said.

"No you hadn't. I can't wait to see you in it," I said.

I smiled at Amber who giggled.

"So will we be partying after the show in Dublin?" Amber asked.

"Don't know to be honest. Depends how we all feel?" I said.

"Fair enough. I know I can get pretty sore at times after matches and training," Amber said.

"Yup," I said.

"I'm not too bad now," Amber said.

"Me neither," I said.

Amber

We continued to dance and talk. During the slow songs it was great to snuggle up close to Aidan and breathe in his masculine scent. Finally though we left the club and Aidan drove us up the Lyle Hill road to the lookout at the top. There he parked and we moved into the backseat of the car and cuddled up tight. It wasn't long before we were making out and enjoying being alone with each other.

"I love you so much," Aidan said, between kisses.

"I love you too," I said.

I realized things were in danger of getting too hot and heavy so gently pulled away from Aidan.

"There's something I need to tell you," I said.

Aidan looked at me and I explained about my beliefs.

"Thanks for telling me. I'll respect that," he said.

We started making out again and to my relief Aidan kept his word. Finally we headed back to Carmel's place where everyone wanted to know what we'd gotten up to. I told them what they wanted to know and then we talked about our day. Everyone was excited about the next two days and had enjoyed the first day of the training weekend.

Aidan

I returned to where I was staying and called it a night. The next morning I headed back to the Greenock Sports Centre arriving at the same time as Amber and the other LWWA

"Hey babe," Amber greeted me as I joined her.

"Morning sexy," I said.

We kissed ignoring the fact we had an audience to watch us being affectionate then headed inside. Amber was dressed in shorts and a sports bra ready for training. As the session started I watched and listened. It was all about development of their characters and gimmicks. It took me back to when I began training and how I'd come up with my "The Dublin Brawler" Aidan Turner name and gimmick. For those who already had a character they were asked to cut a promo in character. I couldn't help but smile when Amber cut an awesome promo. The trainers then used Amber's Taika character to show how Amber had developed her character. After that everyone was asked to get into groups and brainstorm character ideas. I watched as Amber interacted with her group helping them out. She was my beautiful clever girlfriend and I loved her to bits.

Amber

The morning session started off with working on our characters and gimmicks. As I was already sorted for both I helped the others out. Some people knew what they wanted to do and others were yet to come up with anything. After an hour or so we then began working on showmanship. It was great to get feedback on how my camera and crowd work was and get pointers on how I could improve. By the end of the session I felt I was doing better than I had been before the session. The weekend was doing me the world of good. After that we worked on our acting skills and again I got a lot out of it and learnt a lot. When we broke for lunch I joined Aidan and we cuddled up

"You're doing really well babe. Love you," Aidan said

He brushed my cheek with his lips and I smiled.

"I'm looking forward to the show tonight," I said.

"Me too. I'm going over against Kenny," Aidan said.

It felt great being cuddled into Aidan and I smiled at all my friends. We enjoyed the DVD that was being played while we ate our lunches. That afternoon we were working on more advanced moves, holds and throws. Finally I would be able to learn some new stuff to add to my repertoire. We would also get to do some mock matches and some of us would be chosen to wrestle that night in the show to show how much we'd learnt.

Aidan

After lunch I watched as Amber began learning more advanced moves, holds and throws. She seemed to be able to see something done and be able to do it simply by copying what she'd seen. She was amazing as she flew around the ring and I couldn't wait to see if she'd get to wrestle in the show that night. If she did it would be her first match in a proper show in front of a real crowd. And I would manage her if she was in a match. After a couple of hours of that the trainees began doing mock matches. They worked on their calling and how to put a match together. Again Amber was a quick learner and I could see her improving. Finally at the end of the session the trainers announced the names of those who'd be wrestling that night. I waited with baited breath to see if Amber's name was called. And it was. We hugged and I kissed her excitedly.

"I can't wait to get out there and show them what I can do," Amber said.

I nodded and smiled then watched as Amber and her opponent worked out what they were going to do. I was going to manage her so I worked with them to come up with some spots for me to interfere and distract the ref. I would be helping Amber get the pinfall by putting her feet on the ropes. Then we had to set up for that night's show. Those who weren't in it were going to be watching and would help with the set up and pack up. We all pitched in and it didn't take long to get the ring set up and chairs put out.

Amber

Once that was done I set up to do hair and the girls who were performing got me to do their hair. Aidan went and hung out with the guys while I worked and once I was done and had done my own hair I joined him.

"You look great," Aidan said.

Neither of us had changed into our ring gear as we were going to change later on. We chatted with everyone and hung out until it was time for fans to arrive then went backstage. As I got changed I suddenly began feeling nervous as I'd be wrestling in front of a larger crowd than that at a LWWA show.

"I'm so nervous," I said to Aidan.

"You'll be fine when you get out there," Aidan said.

I knew he was right and I could hear the crowd cheering and booing the wrestlers who were wrestling first.

"Do you get nervous before you wrestle?" I asked.

"Sometimes," Aidan said.

He told me that he generally only got nervous if he was working an unfamiliar crowd such as appearing at a show run by a different promotion or working in an unfamiliar place such as when LPW went to anywhere they hadn't been before.

"Are you nervous tonight?" I asked.

"I am a bit actually," Aidan said.
