After searching for what felt like forever, Cora finally found a ride back to the hotel. She had bumped into Renee and Dean who, unlike most of the divas and superstars, where actually heading back to the hotel. Beyond grateful for finally finding a liable ride, she quickly accepted their offer to ride with them.
Once in Seth and hers hotel room, Cora sat down on the king size bed. Looking around the room she couldn't help but think that it was fit for a king. "Nothing but the best for our champion" she remembered Hunter saying after Seth had joined with him and the rest of Authority. She mentally rolled her eyes as she ran her fingers over the white duvet. She wanted nothing more than to be laying in this bed with Seth. It had been a long time since their last date due to their hectic life. Not to mention their sex life that was lacking. She couldn't even remember the last time that both of them actually made love instead of a quickie in an empty locker room before a show.
Running her fingers through her hair as she stood up, the diva decided to shower and get ready for sleep, seeing how she now had nothing going on. Walking into the bathroom she flicked the light on and started turned the shower on hot. She slowly stripped out of her clothes as she waited for the water to get hot enough for her to get in. Smiling to herself, Cora slid into the shower letting the water wash away the day's stress off her body.
Ten minutes later Cora got out of the shower and wrapped herself in a white fluffy towel. She felt clean and refreshed, two of her favorite feelings. She quickly dried her body off and got dressed in her comfy clothes, as she liked to call them, which consisted of one of Seth's t-shirts and a pair of black leggings.
After blow drying her hair, Cora looked around the room and sighed. Bed it is she thought to herself as she climbed into bed with her phone. Looking through her twitter and instagram feed she found herself bored. She had only been in the room for not even a hour and she already was letting Seth win by ruining her night. Sighing she decided on Netflix. "at least it never let me down" she said to herself as she clicked to watch Orange Is The New Black.
After watching a couple of episodes Cora still couldn't let go of Seth forgetting their date. "That's it i'm going to bed" she said out loud to herself as paused the show and put her phone on the night stand. Turning off the lamp beside her she got under the sheets. She couldn't help but to feel that the king sized bed felt bigger as she laid alone. In hopes of getting some sleep, Cora rolled onto her side and shut her eyes. As she felt herself drifting off to sleep, she couldn't help but think of Seth. Was he with another women? Has he out grown their love? The thoughts plagued her into her sleep.
It was around two o'clock in the morning when Seth had stumbled into their hotel room waking Cora up from her what little sleep she had. "It's two in the morning" she yawned as reached over turning on the lamp on the nightstand. Seth just laughed as he pulled his shirt over his head. She watched as he stumbled over his feet nearly falling face first into the bed. She wouldn't of mind it though if he did.
"Oh come on baby, live some" Seth smirked as he unbuttoned his pants. Cora rolled her eyes at the champion as he got into bed.
"Go to bed" she mumbled as she turned the lamp off settling back into the sheets with her back facing his. She hoped he'd get the message that she was in no mood to cuddle. The red head closed her eyes in hopes of getting some more sleep. Seth reached his arm out wrapping it around Cora's midsection pulling the diva closer to him. Cora decided against struggling from his grip. She just wanted sleep at this point. "Night princess" he yawned. Cora sighed inwardly at the smell of beer on his breath reaching her nose. Pressing his chest against her back he sloppily kissed her head before resting his head on hers. Cora laid still next to Seth as she listened to his breathing slow down as he fell asleep. For that moment in time, things felt normal. Even though she was still upset wit him, it felt like old times. It gave her a small glimpse of hope that maybe everything was going to work out between the two. Just maybe.
