Sheamus stood in the backstage area getting ready for his match. He looked around and spotted Marie. He stood there a little confused. "Why is she here?" He muttered to himself. He hadn't expected to see her again.
Marie walked along backstage, really not finding any interest in anything. She looked up and caught the Viper in her path. Randy smiled, walking up and picking the brunette up in a warm embrace. Randy's wife walked up, reaching for her husband to release the woman so she could get a hug of her own.
The Celtic Warrior watched this, bewildered. She hadn't mentioned that she knew anybody in the WWE and he found it odd that she hadn't mentioned there was a possibly he'd see her again.
"So, Sheamus…?" Samantha looked at Marie.
Marie blushed, chuckling slightly, "Umm…"
"Obviously you didn't tell him who you were." Randy interjected; Marie cut her eyes at him. "He looks like he's shocked to see you." Randy pointed behind Marie. She resisted the urge to look, fearful of drawing the Great White over in their direction.
Sheamus looked at Randy yelling at the girl. He started to move toward them but decided against it. He continued to watch the Viper ream out the girl, out of his earshot.
"If your brothers found out, what do you think they'd do? Was one night really worth it?" Randy was aggravated at the woman's callous disregard for his colleague's well being. Sam looked at Marie and could tell she had heard enough. She grabbed her husband's arm and pulled him away.
Marie sat there digesting what she had just been told. Maybe he was right. Sheamus watched her stand there for a few moments and when she turned her face was solemn, almost sad. When she saw him standing there she smiled; forgetting the dreadful lecture she just had to sit through.
She walked toward the Great White stopping a few feet away from him. "I guess I neglected to mention you'd be seeing me again soon."
"Yes, it's a little surprising." He took a step forward, wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her toward him, "But a good surprise."
She smiled uncomfortably and pushed herself out of his embrace. Sheamus sighed, agitated at her reaction. "If you didn't want to see me, you could've just ignored that I was standing here or not came at all."
"That's not it." She reached out to grab his hand but he pulled away from her. She dropped her hand and took a deep breath before continuing. "My brothers are here. If they find out…" She paused searching for the right words. "It wouldn't be good. It's why I run screaming from everybody in this business and explains the freak out you just witnessed from Randy."
"Who are your brothers?"
"No, in this business or not, that is one thing that will always send somebody running and either you'll use it as your excuse or you'll confront them. Either way I lose." He rolled his eyes at her, he would just ask Randy. And as if reading his mind she replied, "Randy won't tell you. You can't ask anybody else because then you run the risk of asking my brother and getting caught unaware which just isn't smart."
"How can you be sure that he won't tell me? He seemed pretty pissed you hadn't."
Marie smiled, "He won't get involved. You have two options, you can not accept not knowing and that'll be it or..." She looked around to see if her brothers were in the immediate area. Once she verified that they were devoid of any threat, she stepped forward wrapping her arms around his neck, "you can deal with not knowing and we can have a repeat of the other night. Your choice."
"You're going to tell me." He said, his smile returning to his face, wrapping his arms around her waist, leaning in to kiss her softly. "I got a match." Though he didn't like the deception the other night was well worth repeating, no matter the circumstances.
She pulled away from him, "I'll be waiting." Sheamus grabbed the title from its resting place beside him and walked away.
Marie stood there staring into the space where Sheamus had just gone from her sight when Samantha walked back up beside her, this time absent her husband.
"So, not to repeat my husband but was one night really worth it?" Sam watched the smile grow on the girls face and laughed, "Are you blushing? I've never seen you blush."
"Yeah I've been doing that a lot this week." Marie chuckled despite herself, and looked at her friend. "It was damn well worth it."
