Milly and Baron left the hotel bar after waving to Josh, making their way up to Milly's room. She looked over at him only to find him smirking at her and laughed lightly.
"That thousand watt smile is a shameful weapon!" She nudged him with her elbow before using her key card to open it. Just as she suspected, Renee was no where to be found. Their was a note on the table in the dining room that read, 'Decided to stay with Dean for the night. I'll make it up to you, promise! Xoxo Renee' She held up the note, turning to the much taller male. "Told you! Those two are unbelievably inseparable."
Baron stepped closer to Milly and slid his arms around her waist. He leaned down and placed a small kiss on her neck. A gasp escaped her lips as she arched her neck, biting her lower lip. She sighed, running her fingers through his hair. "Baron.." She said hesitantly, the alcohol wearing off just as quickly as it affected her.
He looked down at her and grinned, resting his index finger against her soft lips. "It's okay, I know." He knew Milly wasn't the type to spontaneously have sex with someone, buzzed or not. It was one of the things he liked about her. She had more integrity and self-respect than that.
She rested her small hand on his cheek, running her thumb along the stubble. "Don't think I lead you on, okay? To be honest with you, I've found myself thinking about what it would be like to be more than friends with you. Maybe we can explore that if that's something that would interest you.. but I don't want to rush into anything and then lose having you in my life. Plus, I know you can do better and-"
Baron quickly cut her off with a gently kiss on her lips. He knew he was talking about her hair but it didn't bother him at all. "Hey, don't even go there. You know it doesn't even matter to me about that. I've thought you were the most incredible girl I've ever known for a while now. I just didn't know if I should say anything. Why don't we just try going on a few dates and see where it goes? No pressure."
Milly smiled, feeling tears spring in her eyes. She forced them back and took a deep breath. "I can't believe you read right through me." Baron had been one of the only people in her life at the WWE that she told about her hair, yet no one had actually seen her without it. When Milly was seven-years-old her hair started slowly falling out. It took a couple more years to find out that she had a rare condition called Alopecia and that her hair would more than likely never grow back. It was something she had always been self-conscious about, afraid of what people would think. She struggled with depression and anxiety but after going through counseling and confiding in her friends, she was starting to get better. Although, the anxiety was something that still affected her life. Letting her guard down with guys was something she never let herself do. She thought that as soon as they found out, they would leave and she would be left alone and hurt. The only other time she had let a guy in was Seth and, well, that didn't turn out well. Milly nodded, looking into the eyes of her favorite 'lone wolf.' "I would really like that," she finally replied.
He grinned in response and took her hand his, "Walk me out?" he asked. She did as he asked and kissed his cheek before shutting the door. She turned around, pressing her back to the door and covered her face with her hands. She couldn't believe she almost had sex with one of her best friends because of a little bit of alcohol. She was never one to consume too much, mostly because she liked to be in control most of the time. But with everything going on, she just wanted to not have to think so much for a change.
Thinking back to her conversation with Baron, she sighed, her thoughts going straight to Seth. She wished what he did didn't effect her so much. The worst part was, he had no idea. It would be easier if he did because then they could move on. Seth was the first man in her life that she per her full trust in. She loved her adoptive father but they weren't as close because he suffered from PTSD after his time in the Military. Seth was the best friend she could have asked for: always there when she needed him, never betraying her. She even let him in on her secret about her hair and he still accepted her. Although they never explored anything other than a friendship, they knew everything about each other and were practically attached at the hip.
When Seth got called up to the main roster, he expectedly got more and more busy, which didn't bother Milly. What bothered Milly would when they would be at the same party and she would wave at him like usual. Instead of going over and saying hi, he would now look away pretending he didn't see her. It was like he was suddenly embarrassed to be seen around her considering she was just some interviewer. Renee and Jojo tried to tell her to just forgot about him, that she deserved much better than that. And she knew they were right, she just never expected that from Seth. In fact, he was the only one that he fully let in, letting her get to know him as Colby Lopez and not just 'Seth Rollins: the Architect.' For a little while, she started to let loose and trust more, not have her guard up. But him betraying her forced her to put those walls right back up.
She shook her head, hating the power he had over her. She knew there was only one thing she could do. Milly went in her room and reached into her purse, pulling out her phone. She opened the Messages app on her iPhone and typed, 'Are you busy tomorrow before the Smackdown taping?' -Send-
