Chapter 10

I woke the next morning to a note on the pillow next to my bed.

Last night was amazing. I went to get breakfast, be back soon.

Adam

P.S. Call Nikki, she's been calling all morning

I smiled as memories of the night before washed over me like waves on a shoreline. After a minute of lying wrapped in the mess of sheets and blankets, I got up and put on Adam's white button up shirt from last night and walked to the dresser to grab my phone.

I heard one ring and then, "Why haven't you answered you're phone, ya know that is the whole point of cell phones is so that when someone calls you, you can answer the damn thing!"

"Good morning to you to Nikki."

"Good morning, now I want details, well not all the details cause I don't need that visual stuck in my head. So what happened?"

"Your breath control amazing to me." I laughed.

"Woman!"

"Ok, ok, there's not much to tell that you don't already know."

"I know I know, but I want to hear you say it."

"Ok, Adam and I slept together." I heard her squeal on the other end of the phone.

"I knew that's where you two were going when you left. God, finally! So was it good?"

"GOOD GOD YES!" I yelled jumping back on to the bed. Just then I heard the door open. "Hey I have to let you go, Adam just got back.

He walked in carrying two cups of coffee and a white paper bag.

"Was that the Nikki phone call we all knew was coming?" He smiled and set the coffee and the bag on the dresser.

"Of course, she wanted all the juicy details." I grinned getting out of bed.

"And did you give them to her?" he slid towards me.

"Only that you were fantastic." I wrapped my arms around his neck and moved just close enough for out lips to brush "are those chocolate chip muffins that I smell?"

"For you, what else would I get?" He smiled as he turned and grabbed the bag.

"You're the best boyfriend ever!"

As fast as the words came out of my mouth, I wished I could suck them back in.

"Boyfriend?" he raised an eyebrow.

I let out a nervous laugh, "Well… uh, umm..I don't know…"

He sat down on the bed and pulled me down to sit with him, "We should probably talk about us."

"Ok, should I be scared?" I was getting nervous, was last night a mistake.

"No, I just never got a chance last night to tell you how I feel."

"I think you did a pretty good job of showing me though." I grinned remember last night.

"Yes, but if there is one thing that I have learned it's that you need to tell people how you feel." He grabbed my coffee and set it back on the dresser, and pulled me into bed so I was curled up with my head on his chest.

"I really care about you, Angel and that kind of scares me because the last time I cared about someone this much I hurt her and it took me a long time to forgive myself. From the moment you showed up something inside me woke up, I love being with you and when I'm not with you, I'm thinking about you. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to be with you but I don't wan to hurt you." I could almost hear the struggle in his voice.

"You won't hurt me, I trust you." Was all I could manage to say.

"Then, I guess there is only one thing left to say," He sat up as I propped myself up on one elbow. "Angel will you be my girlfriend?"

I could feel the smile on my face spread from ear to ear. "Of course I will."

We spent most of the day in bed talking and just enjoying being together before we had to go tell the world that we were a couple, god I loved how that sounded. We must have dozed off because I woke to the sound of my phone ringing. I reached over Adam to the night stand and let out a groan when I saw the name on the caller ID. Adam propped himself up on his elbows as I answered.

"Hello Jeff." I said trying to sound cheery, Adam rolled his eyes and headed toward the bathroom.

"Hey Angel," he paused, "look I'm really sorry about last night, I was drunk and a dick. I know that's not an excuse, but please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you."

"I'm over it Jeff, is that all?" I said just wanting to get him off the phone.

"No actually, I just wanted to remind you that we were having lunch with Johnny and Melina this afternoon."

"Oh, shit. I totally forgot, thanks for reminding me. What time are we meeting?" I asked checking the clock.

"In an hour, in the lobby."

"I'll see you then." And hung up without saying goodbye.

Adam walked out of the bathroom and leaned up against the wall starring at me.

"Well that's a very serious look." I joked trying to lighten the mood.

"Angel, I will never be ok with him being around you." I opened my mouth to talk but he cut me off, "Now I know you have to work very closely with him, and I understand that. But I will be keeping an eye on him."

"Adam if this is gonna work your gonna have to trust me. And not physically injure Jeff. "

"Oh, I trust you completely," he moved toward me and placed a soft kiss on my lips. "It's him I don't trust."

I got showered and headed for the door. "Hold up babe, I have to meet Randy in the lobby too."

I raised an eyebrow, "You weren't supposed to meet him til later."

He shot me that evil half smile, "Change of plans." He opened the door for me, as we made our way to the lobby where Randy, Johnny, Melina, and Jeff were waiting.

"Hey guys," Adam said a little too cheerfully as we came down the stairs. Randy just laughed.

"You ready to hit the gym man?" Randy asked, trying to get Adam out the door.

"Yeah," just then he slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me into him. "Have fun at lunch, and I will see you later." He tightened the grip he had on my waist and put his free hand on the side of my face and pressed his lips to mine. This was no ordinary kiss, the passion in this kiss could have led to a repeat of the night before right here in the lobby had Adam not pulled away. As he leaned back I whispered in his ear.

"Was that really necessary?"

I could feel the smile spread across his face, "I never said I'd be nice."

Adam walked out of the hotel making sure to keep eye contact with Jeff the entire time.

"We have a lot to discuss, don't we?" Melina said linking her arm in mine and heading out to the car.

The boys took the front seat so the girls could talk, and we did. I gave Melina the whole story sparing no detail. Unfortunately the whole way to the restaurant I could feel Jeff's eyes on me in the rear view mirror.

We spent the first half of the meal signing autographs, and the rest of it talking out the match for Summerslam. Then my phone buzzed, it was a text from Jeff.

So you and Adam huh?

I replied, Yes.

I'm happy for you.

I shot him a small smile across the table. No matter what anyone said, and no matter how big of an ass Jeff could be, he was still my friend and I didn't want to lose that.

After lunch we all headed to the arena and started getting ready for the show. We were all excited because we were 6 days from Summerslam and as a buildup tonight there was an 8 person mixed tag match, Rated RKO , Johnny and Melina vs. DX, Jeff and myself. We were all excited for this match, and for Summerslam.
