Surprise
A/N: Here is chapter 3, I hope you guys enjoy. As always feedback is appreciated.
9/15/15
Posey had gotten an A on her project as Brandon continued to train more at the performance center with Detrick. They had gotten to know more about each other and for the most part Detrick is calm and laid back like Brandon but even after their practice matches Detrick would always stay at the performance center to continue training stating that having made it this far there is no reason for him to ever give up and go home early when he can stay and focus on his craft. Unlike Detrick, Brandon has Posey to take care of.
Opening the door to his apartment Brandon was surprised to see Paige standing there holding David. She looked up at him and smiled. A million questions were assimilating but he couldn't he get a word out as she planted a kiss on his lips.
"Hey pumpkin." She took a seat on the couch.
Brandon shut the door and took a seat beside her, it was only a little after 2 and he didn't have to pick up Posey until 3:25.
"Uh what are you doing here?"
Paige handed David to Brandon "Well I figured I'd spend one day with you, I mean my plane ride is tomorrow night and I wanted to see you. As did the little one." She tickled Davids feet. Paige found herself naturally adjusting to being a mother which surprised her the most. She thought she wouldn't adjust easy but holding David in her arms just felt right and something clicked within her.
Brandon rested his head on her shoulder "I missed you."
Paige smiled and rested her head against Brandon's head "We missed you to, so does my family. I plan to take David to see them when we do the UK tour this winter, hopefully you'll be on the road for next years tour."
He sort of cringed at hearing that. Not that he didn't want to be with Paige and David but just being on the road week after week with basically no time for yourself to relax. Sure during the last summer it was fun and he had no problem with it but just the thought of doing it year round bothered him as he was a homebody to a certain degree.
"I don't know." Brandon lifted his head from her shoulder and leaned against the couch cushions.
"What don't you know about?" Paige asked as she noticed David had fell asleep in Brandon's arms.
Brandon sighed "I don't know if I wanna be a WWE superstar and traveling around on the road week after week."
"Are you saying that you don't wanna work for the WWE?"
Brandon shook his head "No but I guess I'm ready to find a home and settle down but another part of me wants to excel here and be on the main roster traveling week after week and living sort of like the celebrity lifestyle."
Paige pulled her phone out from her pocket and googled his name in. On the first page was a tumblr dedicated to him by fans. She showed him the page.
"You are a celebrity of sorts, you also have a Wikipedia page. Do you not look yourself up on the internet?"
He shrugged "It never really crossed my mind until now."
Brandon scrolled down through the tumblr page dedicated to anything and everything about him. Most of it involved pictures of him, some when he was playing in the NFL and other were dated back to earlier in the summer when he was playing soccer. The most recent post was a picture of himself at the performance center with a caption stating how adorable he was.
"I'm pretty sure your fan base is made almost entirely up of girls and with a small percentage being guys." Paige took her phone from Brandon "So as you can see you are a celebrity."
He didn't feel like one " I just feel like I haven't done anything, I mean does this lifestyle appeal to you?"
"What do you mean?"
Brandon didn't know exactly what to say "I don't know, this. You travel 24/7 365 days a year. The only time you get to see your family is once a year at best. You have barely anytime for yourself, how are you suppose to raise a kid while on the road everyday?"
Paige groaned "Yes Brandon this does appeal to me and for your information I wasn't planning to get pregnant but it happened and I'm trying the best I can to make the best of the situation. While I might not see my family but once a year at least I get to see them, and no I don't have anytime for myself but you know what I signed the same contract you did and we both knew what we are getting ourselves into so while it might not be the ideal situation I'm trying my best. If you want me to be a homebody then I'm sorry to say this but I'm not that type of girl anymore, I have a job and career to along with David to focus on now. We have to do what's best for him."
Brandon got up and headed for the door. This was leading to an argument and he knew it.
"Where are you going!" Paige was upset that he was walking out on their conversation.
"I don't know anymore Paige. I get where your coming from but financially we are more than stable, we make probably well over 400,000 a year so we can have a home and I can take care of David no problem. I signed the developmental contract for a chance to make myself known and to be with you on the road but I just don't know if I can commit myself to this full time. I feel like my sense of freedom was taken from me and yet a part of me is content with the situation. Virtually I'm fucked." He was shaking as he was about to breakdown. He had been stuck in reality for to long having look out for Posey and his son David that he forgot to look after the most important thing of all, himself.
Paige put David in his crib and went and wrapped Brandon up in a hug. "It's okay Brandon. I know you want a home and a family but right now we're just not at that level. Give it a few years. You aren't fucked you just haven't recharged your batteries and have been running on empty. Look you can take the weekend off, your not on a set schedule for NXT. Hell your first match won't be until January so if you need to you are allowed the weekends off at least until you are on NXT. I love you." Paige smirked "And I know how I can show you how much I love you." She started leading him towards his bedroom.
Checking the time and seeing that it was almost 3:10 Brandon had to decline the offer "I can't Paige, I have to go pickup Posey from school."
Paige sighed "Whatever."
Brandon headed to the counter and picked up his keys "You sound like you haven't had any in a while."
She shook her head "Not since the last time we were together so like a month or two."
Brandon smirked "I'll make it up to you."
"Oh yea?"
Brandon looked down and looked up at her "Did you bring your guitar?"
She nodded her head "Yea but I-"
He put his finger up to her lips "Tonight when Posey is asleep and David is asleep we'll have a nice romantic dinner and then I'll sing you a few songs and then we get to sexy time followed by those long talks you like to do after sex and then I'll snuggle up next to you, bury my head in your neck with you wrapping your arms around me and then we fall asleep in each others arms. Sound good?"
Paige giggled "Are you writing a 50 Shade of Grey novel?"
Brandon chuckled "Actually it's a spin-off, 50 Shades of Paige." He kissed her goodbye before heading out the door.
A/N: And that was Chapter 3, Paige makes a surprise visit and while things start to escalate they are washed away by the their love for each other. This chapters questions are: Why do you think Paige and Brandon click so well even though they get into arguments so quickly yet it diminishes within minutes? Also do you think that Brandon will continue to be a WWE superstar or maybe end up doing something else within the company?
