Sarah was at Stephen and Kaitlyn's wedding and when the preacher said ''Speak now or forever hold your piece.''she stood up but fell into a deep dark pit leading to nowhere,seeing pictures of her and her two best friends falling with her,catching fire on the way down.
She awoke drenched in sweat and her heart pounding.
''It was just a dream.'' she whispered to herself. She got up and noticed she had slept a little late. She knew that she would be alone today because everyone was preparing for tonight. No worry. She slipped on her flip-flops,still in her pjs,grabbed a granola bar and went to the weight room to hang with Kaitlyn and Stephen for awhile. She stopped at Randy's door,pondering her feelings for him. She was starting to like him but she was still in love with Stephen. She was confused,she'd never liked two guys at the same time. But she figured today was an exciting day,so no talk of her pesky feelings. She headed downstairs.
Kaitlyn was working at the elliptical,Stephen was nowhere to be found.
''Hey babe!''Sarah greeted Kaitlyn.
''Hey,you're in a good mood.''Kaitlyn smiled.
''How can I not be?Tonight's a big night,I always get excited for Wrestlemania.''
''Me too.I'm super nervous though.''
''Don't worry,you're gonna kick Eve's ass tonight for the Diva Championship.''
''Thanks.I hope so.''
''So. Where's Stephen?''
''Oh,he dropped a dumbell on his foot,he's upstairs icing it.I keep telling him it'll be fine in time for his match but he doesn't believe me,he's freaked out that he won't be a hundred percent for tonight.''
'' I should go talk to him.''
''You should!You're the only other person he'll listen to. I think something else may be up with him,I don't know. He woke up in a real shitty mood.''
''Okay.I'll go up there then.I'll see you later in hair and makeup.''
She headed back upstairs,a little nervous. She hadn't been with Stephen alone since the night he revealed that he and Kaitlyn were seeing each other. She knocked on his door.
''Oh fuck off!I'm busy!''
''Stephen?''
Hearing Sarah's voice,he opened the door.
''Sorry. Come in.''
''I heard about your foot.I promise it'll be fine by your match.''
''I don't think so.''He sounded worried,scared.
''Oh come off it. Even with an injured foot you could kick Sandow's pansy ass. One Brogue Kick to the head and he's out like a light,dreaming of Mozart and the ballet.''
Stephen laughed,then sighed.
''Come on Stephen,what's wrong?It's not just your foot. Sick relative?Worried about things with Kaitlyn?Tell me.''
''Do ya think I'm rushin' things with Kaitlyn?''
Oh god.
''Uh...well.''As she began her reply,Stephen's brow furrowed a little. She wanted to tell him the truth,that yes he was rushing things with Kaitlyn and that she secretly has feelings for him. But she couldn't.
''Do you love her?''
He smiled a little.''Yes,I do.''
''If you really love someone and are meant to be,then you're not rushing it.''She felt like a wimp for not saying how she truly feels.
''Thanks,Sarah.''
''No problem. Now,prop your foot up on the table,I'll massage it for you,work out some of the soreness.''
''Ya want ta massage me foot?You really are a good friend.''
They laughed.
''So,have you and Kaitlyn set a date?''
''Not yet, but we don't wanna wait too long.''
''Oh god,she's not pregnant is she?''She joked.
''No,don't worry,she's not. Do you really think she would have a lavish wedding and an expensive wedding gown if she had a baby bump or mornin' sickness?''
''I guess not.''
''Speakin' of wedding gowns,I'll give you a little heads up,after tonight we're flying to Houston to start weddin' plans,including you. Your first duty will be ta help her pick out her dress and bridesmaids dresses.I'm so sorry.''He sniggered.
''Shit.I love her but that will be such a pain in the ass.''
Stephen laughed.''It's worth it though.''
''You know,I was telling Randy about you and Kaitlyn and he was shocked,he thought you and I would end up together. Crazy right?''Although she didn't actually see it as crazy.
''Actually no.''
If Sarah had water in her mouth she would have done a spit take.
''What?''
''Oh come on,admit it,we both thought about it,whether it be dating or bein' in bed together. We've been friends far too long ta not have.I'll admit I have.''
''What,thought about dating or being in bed?''
''Both.''
''Should we really be having this conversation?Your future wife is right downstairs.''
''Please,you and I have been friends a little bit longer than you and her,it's okay.''
''Then yes,I have thought about it.''She blushed.
''I knew it.''He said teasingly.
''Maybe we should kiss to make sure there are no 'sparks' between us.''She was joking. But apparently Stephen took it seriously,he leaned in to kiss her. What she felt during the kiss was far more exciting and butterfly inducing than her night with Randy. After nearly a minute,Stephen broke the kiss.
''Well?''
She wanted so badly to tell the truth,she couldn't. You're such a pussy,she thought to herself.
''Nothing. Nice use of tongue though.''
He laughed.
''What about you,did you feel anything?''
''Em,no,sorry. Ya have nice lips though.''But inside Sarah knew that they both had felt something,something neither of them had ever felt before.
''Right,well,we got that out of our systems,I guess. Is your foot any better or am I massaging your steak-like foot for nothing?''
''No,it's much better,thanks.''
''Okay then,well I gotta go make sure I have enough hairspray for tonight,Diva's hair must be perfect seeing as it's a huge night for them all and I don't want Eve giving death threats if her hair is flat.''
''All right. Thanks again for the rub. God that didn't sound right.I'll see ya tonight,hopefully.I'll be getting pulled in all directions.''
''Yeah,well,come by before your match and I'll spike your hair up for you,I'll even use my best hair gel.''
''Aye. Love being treated like a king.''
They laughed and she went back to her room to think about what had just happened.
