Chapter 3 - My Eternal Love
Third Person P.O.V
"...The daylight's fading slowly
But time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak
I cannot lie, from you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it (can't hide it), can't fight it (can't fight it)..."
The cab pulled up outside the club. Stephen climbed out first then being the gentleman offered his hand to Roxxi and Maryse respectively.
Roxxi looked up at the sign hanging above the entrance to the club - 'Inferno' it read. She rolled her eyes as the rain pelted down onto her face.
Maryse grabbed onto her arm and pulled her under the shelter beside the doorway, avoiding the pouring rain. They were waiting for the rest of the gang to arrive before heading in and trying to find a table in what was bound to a packed club. It was Friday night after all.
Stephen made his way over to the women and put his arms around his girlfriend, resting his chin on her head and rubbing her back.
"Roxxi why don't we go to the ladies room and beautify ourselves some more? At least that way we're out of the cold." Maryse suggested shivering.
"That's a great idea Maryse, you two look frozen."." Stephen replied pulling away from Roxxi to look at her face. "I'll text you when they get here ok?"
"Ok." She smiled giving him a small kiss before rushing off with Maryse.
"OK Roxx, here's that dress I was telling you about." Maryse said holing up said dress.
It was black with pink stitching and about mid thigh length. It was strapless and had a pink ribbon lace up back. It was beautiful.
"Wow! Ryse that is gorgeous. Thank you so much for lending me it. I really wanna make an effort tonight, I feel like I've let myself go these past few months." Roxxi replied.
"It's nothing and besides, this dress was made for you. Now hurry up and try it on so we can go get drunk!" Roxxi laughed and headed into the stall to change.
"Are you sure I look ok Ryse? I mean I don't look out of my depth here do I?" Roxxi frowned.
"Don't be silly. C'est magnifique."
The familiar beeping told Roxxi she had a new text message. She picked up her phone and opened the message.
'Babe, we have a table beside the bar. U cant miss it, Khali's here lol Ste x
Roxxi informed Maryse of what the message said and then turned to look in the mirror. She frowned and bit her lip.
"I told you, you look amazing. Now let's go get some cocktails!" Maryse giggled as she and Roxxi exited the bathroom and made their way into the crowded club.
It didn't take long for the girls to find the table; Khali sure was hard to miss. Maryse linked arms with Roxxi and pulled her over to the group.
"Hey!" Maryse smiled as the girls arrived at the tabled.
Stephen turned around hearing the Canadian woman's voice. His jaw dropped as he took in the appearance of his girlfriend, looking her over from top to toe a smile formed on his face. Her long red hair was loosely curled and hung loose around her face. Her make-up was beautiful, light and understated but the dark black and grey smoky eye shadow and liner accentuating her best feature; her big blue eyes. Her plump lips glistening with a pink coloured lip gloss, very kissable he thought. He was surprised to see her wearing the figure hugging, strapless dress as he knew how self conscious she was about her body. Her outfit finished off with a pair of killer heels; pink and black of course tying in with the dress she was wearing.
"...So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless ..."
At the precise moment Stephen forgot everything and everyone, all he could see was her; all he wanted was to take her home with him and ravish her. He was soon brought out of his thoughts by the voice of Natalya.
"Oh my God Roxxi! You look amazing." She exclaimed squeezing past Stephen to hug the red head who was looking somewhat awkward. She smiled though and hugged the blonde back.
"Thanks Nattie, lookin' good yourself."
Turning back round to the table Stephen approached her. He held her at arms length and looked her in the eyes.
"Sweet Pea you look… wow… You look stunning." He smiled at her.
"Thank you, are you sure I can pull this off though?" She bit her lip.
"Baby… put it like this…" he leaned into her ear, "the things I wanna do to you right here and now would probably have me arrested."
Roxxi's eyes widened as he whispered the last part, his breath hot on her neck. She pulled back and looked into his eyes, they were full of lust, and she smiled and bit her lip as her body began to get goose bumps.
She mouthed the word 'Later' to him as Maryse pulled her to the bar.
Roxxi called the bartender over and ordered two strawberry daiquiri's for the pair she was just about to say something when a familiar voice interrupted her.
"ROXANNE! You most certainly do have to wear that dress tonight!" CM Punk exclaimed from the other end of the bar as he made his way over. He never seemed to get sick of 'The Police's - Roxanne' references.
"Now I know why Stevie boy spends most of his time with you." he said as he hugged the redhead.
"Thanks Phil but believe me when I tell you this, call me Roxanne again and I will not hesitate to stick this foot where the sun don't shine. Ya get me?"
"Loud and clear princess." He laughed.
As the night wore on and as the daiquiri's kept flowing Roxxi felt herself begin to relax.
She was just finishing her 5th drink when John Cena returned from the bar with shots for everyone. Roxxi brought the shot glass up in front of her and eyed the suspicious liquid.
"It's absinthe." Came a voice from beside her. Roxxi turned her head and was met with the smiling face on one Randy Orton.
His eyes were warm and friendly, nothing like earlier that day. She gave a small smile before turned back to the drink and staring at it, debating whether to drink it or not.
"I will if you will." He spoke again, holding his glass out.
Roxxi hesitated then nodded; she clanked glasses with him and threw the drink back.
The liquid burning her throat she took a few deep breaths as she blinked her eyes a few times. Randy laughed as set his own glass back down on the table and turned to face her.
"You wanna go outside for a smoke?" He yelled leaning in, trying to be heard over the music.
Roxxi nodded and grabbed her purse, following him to the outside smoking area.
Randy walked to the corner of the small beer garden, away from the crowds. Roxxi followed behind him, standing on an empty crate she perched herself on the raised wall. She was now eye level with Randy as he offered her a cigarette and kindly lit it for her. Randy then looked her in the eyes and leaned in towards her.
"You look beautiful tonight." He smiled. Roxxi began to blush.
"Thanks" she replied looking at her feet that were swinging below her. Her heart began to beat wildly.
An awkward silence fell over them, neither knowing what to say to the other.
"There you are." The French-Canadian called making her way over to the two smokers. "Come on I put a request in, they're playing it next. Remember you promised me a dance."
Roxxi stubbed out her cigarette, "You don't mind do you?" She asked Randy.
"No, not at all. Can't break a promise now can you?" He offered his hand and she gratefully took it as he helped her down.
As their hands connected it sent a shockwave up her arm, her head shot up with a look of shock on her face. She was surprised to see Randy look at her with the same look on his own face. She let go of his hand and followed Maryse back inside, trying not to think about what had just happened.
"...And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow
It's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
And I never want to wake up
Don't lose it (don't lose it), don't leave it (don't leave it)..."
The intro to AC/DC's 'Shook Me All Night Long' began pumping into the club.
"OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!" Roxxi screamed as she took a hold of Stephen's hand and ran to the dance floor where Maryse was already dancing with Ted DiBiase.
Stephen wrapped his arms around her waist as she began to move her body to the music. She put her arm around his neck and sang along with the song.
Stephen smiled watching her. She was a music addict and this was her favourite song.
Grabbing her arm, he twirled her around as she let out a small scream at the unexpected move and then began to laugh. She moved closer to him so that their bodies were touching and began to shake her hips to the beat as she looked deep into his green eyes.
Stephen fisted his hand in her hair as he gripped on to her hip with the other.
Looking into her eyes, he could see the love in them.
The love she felt for him and he hoped she could see how much he loved her.
The song ended and 'Never Gonna Be Alone' by Nickelback started to play.
Roxxi's eyes widened in realisation.
It was their song.
Stephen smiled at her as he pulled her into a passionate kiss. He gripped her face with both hands as he his tongue probed her mouth. Roxxi moved her hands to the back of his neck, one hand playing with his hair.
When they broke the kiss she rested her head on his chest, as they swayed to the music. Looking for a brief moment she caught sight of Maryse. She was sitting beside Randy leaning towards him flirtatiously, swirling her hair with her fingers and pushing her chest out but Randy wasn't paying attention. His eyes were trained on the dance floor, more specifically his eyes were locked on Roxxi and Stephen and he did not look happy. Roxxi shook the thoughts out of her head, she was enjoying herself, in the arms of the man she loved, she wasn't gonna let Randy Orton and his pissy mood deter her from having a good night. So she put her head back on Stephen's chest and closed her eyes as savoured this moment.
A few hours and many, many drinks later the Raw roster was inebriated to say the least.
Khali was giggling like a school girl while in a conversation with Ted DiBiase who was falling asleep by the looks of it. Miz and Maryse were making out in the corner, Cody Rhodes was hitting on Kelly Kelly and Natalya and Tyson were nowhere no be seen. Randy was now sitting at the bar, alone and drinking what appeared to be Jack Daniels. Stephen was engaged in an arm wrestling match with John Cena while Roxxi and Punk stood at the bar.
"Noooo!" Roxxi moaned.
"Come on Roxx, it's a simple pledge. Repeat after me; One nation under Punk, indivisible, with integrity and sobriety for all."
"Punky, honey; Stop trying to convert me, I already told you I'm not giving up my vices. They are a part of me so you either love all of me or you don't love me at all." She frowned.
"Don't pull the face! Must… resist… Dammit!" He threw his arms around her "OK, I'll accept your flaws. I love you for who you are. Are you happy now?"
"Ecstatic!" She smiled.
Roxxi felt a pair of arms encircle her. Looking up she came face to face with Stephen.
"Hi!" She grinned broadly. "Hi" he replied kissing her nose as Punk made his excuses and left the love birds alone.
"So what do you say we blow this joint and head back to the hotel?" Roxxi asked.
"I thought you were having a good time. If you wanna stay…"
"I'd rather go back to the hotel, private party for two! Let's see how good this dress looks on the bedroom floor?" She purred sexily.
Stephen look dumbfounded. He struggled for a few moments before he found the words.
"Sweet Pea, are you trying to seduce me? " He laughed
"If a word… Yes."
"Well in that case, let's go!" Stephen replied as he took hold of her hand and her purse and pulled her across the room to the exit.
Roxxi laughed as Stephen zigzagged through the sea of bodies on the dance floor when she heard Punk yelling "SOMEBODY'S GETTING LAID!"
Turning to look back at the others she saw Maryse giving her the thumps up and Randy looking extremely pissed off. He was turned fully on his barstool and looking pointedly in their direction.
'What's up with him?' She thought.
'Maybe he's jealous.'
Disregarding that thought she quickly blamed it on the alcohol as she was pulled through the exit and bundled into a cab.
Roxxi giggled childishly as Stephen began kissing her neck, his hands roaming all over the form. She gripped onto his forearms as he sought out her mouth, gripping her by the face with both hands. The cab driver coughed trying to get the couple's attention but they were otherwise occupied to take any notice.
"...So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This loving feeling (loving feeling)
Make me long for your kiss
Go on (go on), go on (go on)
Yeah...
Come on..."
Once they arrived at the hotel Stephen scooped her into his arms and sprinted towards the elevators while Roxxi lay in his arms giggling.
Stephen kicked open the hotel room door and kicked it closed in record time. He set Roxxi back onto her own two feet not letting go completely, his arms still latched around her waist as he fumbled for the zipper of the dress. Roxxi rolled her eyes and took matters into her own hands, reaching behind and unfastening the zipper herself.
She let the garment fall to the floor revealing black bra and thong with red ribbon lacing it up in a corset style.
Stephen's mouth hung open as he looked his girlfriend up and down. The underwear must have been new; he didn't remember seeing it before.
"Like what you see?" She whispered raising her eyebrows.
"...And I can't lie
From you I cannot hide
And I've lost my will to try
Can't hide it (can't hide it), can't fight it, (can't fight it)..."
Stephen inched closer to the redhead silently.
The look in his eyes told his answer; hunger and fire burned in those green orbs, hunger for the beautiful woman standing half naked before him.
Roxxi closed the gap between them, snaking her arms around his neck, rubbing circles on the soft, delicate skin that lay there. Looking into his eyes her breath caught; sometimes seeing how much he loved her took her breath away. She couldn't believe she was this lucky, to have the life she had, with the man she had.
'Don't Forget To Breathe' She told herself.
A habit whenever she was experiencing a happy moment, she unconsciously held her breath
Not being able to take anymore of her touches, Stephen pushed Roxxi back onto the bed roughly. She bit her lip and looked up at the flame haired man; her own hunger obvious in her bright blue eyes. She wanted him, she needed him - now.
Grabbing hold on his t-shirt she pulled him down to her, and then pulling off his top in one swift movement.
She ran her hands up and down his chest, eliciting a soft growl from the Irish man. He pressed his lips against hers pushing their bodies as close together as they could possibly go as his tongue traced her full lips, begging for entrance which she willingly gave him.
Deepening the kiss he laid her flat on the bed, straddling her waist and cupping her face.
Without breaking the kiss Roxxi reached for his belt and began to unbuckle it, proceeding to throw the belt and jeans across the room inadvertently knocking over a lamp, not that either of them noticed.
Stephen broke the kiss and pulled back, looking into her mesmerising blue eyes.
"I love you so much Sweet Pea."
"I love you too 'a Shíorghrá'" Roxxi whispered.
A/N - 'a Shíorghrá' Pronounced - 'uh HEER - ggraw' Means My Eternal love in Irish.
