"Come in!" Sky called, hearing a knock on her front door. She turned from the stove to see Adam.
"Hey. I thought you were out of town until the show?" She smiled.
Their schedules weren't in sync again, when one was home the other was on the road, only seeing each other at CZW events.
"The show I was doing got cancelled, so I figured might as well come home and find you." He smiled, tossing her a beer.
"Smells like I'm just in time for dinner."
"Yes you are." She smiled at him as he walked over and leaned on the counter.
"I see you're wearing your necklace." He smiled.
"It looks good on you."
"I really do love it. Thank you." She told him, handing him a plate of food.
"How's your boyfriend doing?" Adam asked.
"Alex isn't my boyfriend." She smirked.
"Last I heard he's planning on coming back in April, but we haven't talked a couple months."
"Anyway, I did come over for a reason." He said.
"I got you a gig. Ring of Honor is looking for valets, and I suggested you. Showed them pictures I have on my phone. They want you."
"You're lying." She said.
"I'm not, I swear." He said.
"It's not a permanent thing. But they said that if you do good at the house shows, they will consider adding you to the tv tapings and maybe even the ppv coming up."
"Wow."
"The pay is shit. But I'm traveling with Kyle, and he has no issue of you tagging along. So we can split the expenses three ways, and you'd make a little bit of money."
"Yeah, sounds good. When are you planning on heading out?" Sky asked.
"Overnight. We have shows the next three days then after that is Honor Takes Center Stage. Then a few shows after that. Then back here for the CZW show on the 9th. Then planning you a surprise party for your birthday." He smiled.
"Yes to everything except the last thing." She said.
"No parties."
"Too late, Mom is planning a dinner with some people over."
"Adam!"
"I didn't tell her to do it." He said as Sky pushed him.
"You're sure Kyle doesn't mind me riding with you guys?" She asked.
"I promise. I cleared it with him before even bringing it up to you." Adam told her.
"I have my gear packed, it's in my car. I can just have him pick us up from here, if that's fine?"
"Yeah, let me pack. Then a nap sounds good." She said.
Adam went and got his things out if his car, bringing it in her place as Sky packed.
"3am?" She asked Adam, who had already gotten comfortable in her bed.
"Yeah, that gives us time to shower and drink some coffee before he gets here at 4."
She turned the lights out and crawled into bed next to him, laying on her side. Adam let his arm drape over her, and pulled her into him.
"Will your boyfriend be mad that you have another man in your bed?" He laughed until she elbowed him.

"I see you've been doing some work with ROH lately." Dixie said.
"Yes, it's just an independent thing, no contract. Nothing permanent, or that would keep me from signing with anyone else." Sky said.
"We've all seen your work, which is all amazing. Your tryout was great, in the ring and on the mic. I think what is worrying us is your age." D'Lo said.
"I mean, you honestly just turned 19, correct?"
"Yes. Four days ago." Sky said.
"And while you seem mature enough to handle this, you still lack experience." He told her.
"I do have several over sea shows lined up. I'm leaving in June for 4 months. I'm traveling to many places, including Africa, South America, and Mexico." She said.
"I understand your fears when it comes to my age, but I have been on the road for almost a year now."
"Ok, so let's do this." Dixie said.
"You go on your tour, get your experience, and when you come back you come here and work a dark match in front of the crowd. That will show us what we need to see, and then some people can't complain about your lack of experience."
"Also," D'Lo started.
"Change your outfit up a bit. Remember, sex sells. And while your in ring character is based after you, show us something more. Something not so girl next door."
"Ok, I can do that. Thank you for your time." Sky said, shaking their hands before leaving the office.
~No go
She text Adam.
A few seconds later her phone was ringing.
"What do you mean no go? You're fucking amazing." Adam said.
"They have to be blind not to see that."
"They said they loved the match, loved my work, but D'Lo was worried that I don't have enough in ring experience." She told him.
"Dixie seemed to love me."
"So what's next?" Adam asked her.
"Dixie told me to go on my tour, then come back and work a dark match." She told him
"Well, see. It's not all bad. It wasn't a strict no." Adam said.
"Yeah, but that wasn't all."
"What else?" He asked.
"I was told I need to change up my outfit." She said.
"I need to be sexier."
"Obviously, D'Lo needs glasses. You're fucking hot." He told her, making her laugh.
"Did you get your new dates for ROH?"
"Yeah. We are pretty much on the same schedule until I leave in June." She said.
"I have a show near you tonight. If you have all your things with you, I can just pick you up here in a few, and we can go from there."
"Sounds good. Meet me at my hotel."
~June 3, 2011~
"Are you sure you have everything?" Adam asked her, loading her luggage into his trunk.
"Yeah. I made a list of everything." Sky said, handing him her last bag.
She was about to get on a plane taking her across the world. Away from everyone she knew. Away from Adam.
They had been together everyday for the past two months.
She took a deep breath when they pulled up to the airport.
Adam reached over and placed his hand on her bare thigh.
"It'll be ok." He said, squeezing her leg gently.
"I know. I just... I won't know anyone." She said.
"Yes you will. I'm sure there's someone from the states doing the same thing you are." He tried to reassure her.
"And I'll talk to you everyday."
"My phone won't work everywhere." She said.
"No, but I can email, and skype. You'll have some kind of internet." He told her as they got out of the car, unloading her luggage.
He pulled her into his arms, as her arms snaked around him. She laid her head against his chest, taking in a deep breath, not wanting to forget what he smelled like.
She started to release him, but he squeezed tighter.
"I'm not ready to let go yet." He said, resting his cheek on the top of her head.
He let her go after a couple minutes.
"Bye, Ad." She said softly.
"Be safe." He smiled.
As she walked through the doors her phone chimed.
She stopped and pulled it from her pocket.
~ I miss you already
She smiled at Adam's text.
"You've gotten tan." Adam said.
Sky had spent almost two months in Mexico, and had just landed in South Africa.
As soon as she got in her hotel room she hooked her phone to the wifi, smiling when she saw Adam was on.
For the last two months they had been talking back and from email, her never being in a good spot with strong enough internet to support skype.
"A lot of the shows were outside." She said.
"You look happy." He smiled.
"I am having a good time, but I'm ecstatic right now that I get to see your face." She told him.
"Oh stop." He laughed.
"What are you doing?" She asked him.
"I'm with Kyle, we're heading to the next show." He told her flashing his phone to Kyle.
"Say hi to Sky."
"Oh, hey. How's the traveling?" Kyle said, glancing away from the road for a second.
"Hey, Kyle. Great thanks." She smiled as the picture went back to Adam.
"So, what's your plans?" He asked her.
"I have a show tonight, but I'm off tomorrow. A bunch of us are going sight seeing." She told him.
"Apparently there's this place called Boulders Beach where there are penguins. I can't wait to get there!"
"Sounds like you're having a good time." Adam said.
"Yeah I am, but I miss you, a lot. Like a lot, a lot." She frowned.
"But I'm more than half way through."
"All in all, how was Mexico?"
"Good. It's nice that over here I can focus on wrestling, and not worry about working." She said.
"Yeah. That's always nice." He smiled.
"We are getting ready to go in a tunnel. I might lose reception. But I'll call you right back."
"Don't worry about it. I need to shower, then I have to head out for the show." She told him.
Sky had spent only a week at the hotel with good wifi. After that the rest of her time she could only text and email Adam.
Sky ~ only 2 weeks left.
Adam ~ that's 2 weeks too many
~ I wish you were here, but you're there
~ I don't think there knows how lucky it is to have you
S ~ I miss your face
A ~ Damn, I can't wait to see you, and hug you
~ See you smile, hear you laugh
~ Lie next to you on the couch and fall asleep beside you
S ~ Cuddling with you would be perfect right now
A ~ I miss you so much, I'd cuddle the shit out of you right now
S ~ 1 more day and I'm on the plane home
A ~ That sounds like a reason to celebrate hump day with a beer
S ~ Fuck hump day. I want to know when 'fuck me so hard I can't walk' day is.
A ~ I love when you talk dirty.
S ~ Sarcasm and orgasm are two of my favorite 'asm's
A ~ Every time you flirt with me I add another chapter to the on going porno we are having in my head.
S ~ HA! It's sleeping time here.
A ~ You'd probably sleep better if we had sex.
S ~ aren't we sexting right now? Doesn't that count? lol
S ~ Sweet dreams.
A ~ you too.
S ~ BTW if your dreams happen to be of me tonight, keep in mind, I like it a little rough.
A ~ Fuck Sky, you're such a tease.
S ~ maybe, but I'm not the one who has to delete these texts so my girlfriend won't see them, slut. ;)
A ~ Touche. Good night Sky.
S ~ Night Ad.
~October 25, 2011~
Sky stretched and pulled on her jacket as she stepped off the plane, Philly was a lot colder than where she had come from. She was sore, and tired, and could probably sleep for a week.
She smiled when she saw Adam waiting for her.
She quickened her pace, her body fighting her, but she pushed through, not wanting to waste anymore time away from him.
His arms were open waiting for her. She dropped her carry on and wrapped her arms around his neck, his going to her back, lifting her off the ground, squeezing her.
She took a deep breath.
"I've missed your smell." She said making him laugh.
"That's it? Just my smell?" He asked, putting her down, grabbing her bag for her.
"I've missed you." She smiled.
"All of you. But it's the little things that you take for granted, like your smile, your laugh, and your smell."
"I don't have a smell." He told her.
"Yes you do." She grinned as they went to get her luggage.
"It's a mix of your shampoo, your soap, your cologne and your sweat."
"So you're saying I'm as stinky as arm pits?" He laughed.
"Hardly. Your smell is unique to you, and one of my favorite things. It's intoxicating." She winked at him, leaning over to grab one of her bags.
"Whoa, what was that?" Adamustin asked.
"What?" She asked, reaching for another bag, having to stretch across another suitcase, her shirt and jacket raising up on her side.
"This." Adam said, pulling her shirt up.
"You got a tattoo?"
"I got more than one." She smiled at him, as they started walking towards the exit.
"I didn't know you liked tattoos." Adam said.
"Neither did I, until I went with someone that was getting one." Sky said.
"I got the one you saw first." She searched his eyes, not able to read what he was feeling.
"You don't like it, do you?"
"I didn't say that, I just, I mean you didn't say anything about it." He said.
"No, I guess I didn't. I must have been too busy sexting you." She smiled as his face grew flush.
"Anyway, it's not like I got it done that night. I thought about it, and went back a couple days later. It's pretty basic. Girly I guess you can say. My mom use to collect skeleton keys, she would say 'You never know when you might need a key to open the door to your future'. So now I will always have the key I need to open the door that leads to my future. It says Always Live Your Dreams. My mom used to say that to me."
He lifted her shirt again, looking at it.
"It just took me by surprise. It's cute, though. Fits you really well." He told her smiling.
"So, where's this other tattoo?"
She pulled her jacket and shirt down revealing her shoulder.
"That's huge." He gasped.
"Yeah. It is. It took a while to finish. I got it done at another shop. A place in Columbia that's known for it's coloring." She told him.
"I've only had it a couple days."
He looked at the flowering cherry blossom branch that covered not only her shoulder, but went down to the bottom of her shoulder blade, a couple inches down the front of her shoulder and down her arm. Mixed in with the pink flowers was a teal winged butterfly perched on the cocoon it had just emerged from.
"They did a great job. It looks amazing." He told her.
"Yeah. In a lot of ways this trip helped me find myself." She told him.
"I had to pull out my courage and stand up for myself. It's like I transformed from what I used to be to what I am now."
