Hope you guys like this one :)
It was Sunday and we had finally landed back in the US. After a seven hour flight we had arrived at JFK airport in New York. The following day was Monday and RAW was going to be in Brooklyn, New York. All WWE superstars made their way to baggage claim where we retrieved our bags and next was the car rental terminal. As usual I met up with the guys and we made our way to pick up what would be our car for the next two days. When we were able to get through the line and give the desk clerk our information, we were given a grey SUV. Ambrose volunteered to drive us to the hotel and by the time we arrived it was already four o'clock local time.
Rollins, Reigns, and myself got off to check-in while Ambrose parked the car. We got our rooms and headed up. A few minutes later, Ambrose joined us in our room and asked me if I was going to sleep a few more hours.
"No," I told him. "I'm probably going to find a gym near by and do some cardio, maybe lift a few weights. Wanna come?"
He put his bags down and removed his jacket, "You mean Sheamus hasn't staked his claim on you for the day yet?"
"Jealous?" I teased him.
"Maybe just a tad, but yeah I wanna workout some. I slept alittle on the plane over here and want to get my blood flowing alittle bit."
"OK, let me just change real quick," I told him as I grabbed my gym bag.
I took my phone with me into the bathroom and checked it before I changed. I saw that I had a text from Stephan but decided to call my boys first. I dialed Kristinas number, my bestfriend who watches my boys for me while I'm on the road.
"Hola," she answered.
"Hey you, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Just making dinner for me and the boys, they're watching tv in the livingroom right now."
"What are you making?"
"Some grilled chicken with a salad and mashed potatoes."
"How have they been holding up these two weeks without seeing me?"
"They've been ok. Ofcourse they've said how much they miss you and for the last week, everynight before they go to bed they ask how much longer you'll be gone."
That last statement completely tore my heart out. "Fuck. I feel like shit now."
"I'm sorry Scar, but don't beat yourself up about it. They know that when you get home you spend every single minute with them. They just miss you and you miss them. You're in New York already right?"
"Yeah," I said as I wipes a few tears that fell from my eyes.
"Ok then just two more days and you're here for four days. They'll get their mommy time and be fine and so will you."
"I hope so."
"Everything will be fine. You want to talk to them?"
"Yes please." I heard Kristina call out for the boys and soon I was on speaker phone talking to the two boys who meant the world to me.
"Hi mama!" They both said in unison.
"Hey boys, I'm here in New York so that means just two more days and I'll be home."
"Are you going to take us to school and pick us up?" Asked my youngest Noah.
"Yup, and then we'll go home and I'll help you guys with your homework and we'll go out for dinner and maybe a movie and if Kristina said you boys behaved, it's Disney World this weekend."
They both cheered. "I miss you mama," said my oldest Emmit.
I had to choke back the tears and make sure they couldn't hear me sob. I collected myself before I spoke. "I miss you to baby, the both of you. I miss you boys so much. I can't wait to see you, be good ok? Listen to Kristina."
"We will," they both said. I told them my goodbyes one last time and then to Kristina before hanging up. Ambrose knocked on the door.
"Hey, you almost done?" He asked.
"Yeah, I was talking to the boys."
"O, alright. Well, I'm ready when you are."
"Ok, just a few more minutes."
I then read the text from Stephan, 'I wanted to know if you were going to catch a few more hours of sleep. If not then I wanted to know if you would be up for a dinner date later on.'
'No, I'm not going to sleep. I'm gonna hit the gym with Ambrose, if you still want to when I'm done then I can come back here and get showered and dressed, then we can meet up in the lobby.' I texted back.
'Perfect, I'll be ready so just text or call when you are.'
'Ok.'
I then quickly dressed, washed my face and put my hair up in a messy bun before stepping out and back into the room. Dean was sitting on the bed messing with his phone. "Thirty minutes and that's what you come out looking," he teased.
I threw my clothes that I was wearing on the plane at him, "Don't be an ass."
"But that's part of my charm," He said. I grabbed my gym bag and threw my wallet and phone in it before holding it out to Dean who put his phone and wallet in it as well.
We then made our way to the elevators and down to the lobby where we asked the hotel concierge where the nearest gym was located. Luckily, there was one just three blocks away so Dean and I decided to walk there. I got my phone from my gym bag and texted Seth and Roman where we were headed but that we were walking so the car was available and Dean had left the keys at the front desk incase they wanted to go anywhere.
"They haven't texted me back so I guess they're sleeping or don't care," I told Dean as I put my phone away.
"So," he said.
"So what?" I asked.
"How did the thing with Sheamus go?"
"Can you not say SHeamus and say his real name."
"Fine, Stephan. How did it go with Stephan."
"See, it's not that hard. It went good. His friends were really nice and funny and his sister was the same, I really liked her."
"That's cool. Did you guys go out to eat or what?"
"No, We went out to a bar type of place. It was fun."
"Did you get drunk?"
"I didn't get like shit faced drunk. More of a I'm feeling really good kind of buzz. I kind of went crazy on him for a second but I made up for it."
"Hold on," he said as he put his arm out infront of me to stop me. "WHat do you mean you went crazy on him?"
"Well, I went to the bathroom with his sister and when we came out I saw this blonde bitch talking to him and you could tell she was being flirty so I asked his sister if they knew eachother. SHe said that was his ex and they broke up before Stephan came to the states. His sister went back to the table where we were all at and I stayed where I was. I made sure he saw me before I barged out of there and he followed me. I told him off about why he was even talking to her in the first place and basically told him to go fuck himself."
"Well aren't you understanding," joked Dean.
"Anyways, he explained himself and calmed me down alittle bit. I ended up feeling really bad and made up for it before going back inside and joining everyone else for a few more hours before we headed back to the hotel."
We had arrived at the gym and went inside to get a guest pass for just a few hours and to buy a few bottles of water. Once we had paid for everything, Ambrose and I started our stretching and since neither one of us remembered to bring any headphones or ipods we continued talking.
"So, just so that we're clear here, when you say you made up for it you mean what exactly?" Asked Ambrose.
I tried to hide my smirk, "I mean that I made for it. What do you want me to say?"
"Did you fuck him?" Asked a wide-eyed Dean.
"No I didn't fuck him. Can we just work out now?" I said while moving to a treadmill.
"Ok, but since I'm the closest thing you have to a girlfriend, I'm pretty much the only one you could gossip with about this kind of shit" said Dean joining the treadmill next to me. "I'm just gonna assume you blew him then," he said.
"Jon, shut the fuck up. I didn't fuck him and I sure as hell didn't get on my knees in fucking public. He fingered me in an alley way looking thing and that's it," I told him through gritted teeth and in a low whisper.
"I knew you were kind of freaky but this is a whole new level," he said giving me his signature smirk.
We did a half hour of running then some weight lifts before finishing up with a stair master. After almost two hours, we were headed back to the hotel. I took out my phone and texted Stephan that I was on my way back to the hotel. When we got there, Dean let me shower first so I could get ready for my dinner date. After I showered and dried myself off, I changed into some sweats and a shirt so Dean could take his shower. I did my makeup on my bed which was my normal powder and concealer. For my eyes I applied some golden eye shadow and outlined my eyes some black liquid eyeliner. For my lips I put on a nude-brown lipstick.
When Ambrose was done with the bathroom, I went in to change and do my hair. I pulled out my straightener that I traveled with and simply straightened my hair. I pulled my black tights with skulls on them and added an oversized grey sweater over that with my black flats. I texted Stephan my room number and that I was done. He texted back that he was on his way. I checked my reflection one more time before I went into the room to put the sweats and shirt I was wearing away. I grabbed the purse that Stephan had given to me when we were in Europe and threw my wallet, phone, and small makeup just incase I needed to do a few re-touches.
There was a knock on the door and I went to open it thinking it was Stephan, instead it was Seth and Roman.
"Well aren't you all dressed up," said Seth as he entered the room and sat on my bed.
"Yeah, where are you going?" Asked Reigns.
"Out with Sheamus," said Dean before I could answer.
"Are we invited?" Asked Seth.
"Nope," I said.
"That's rude. We are like your road brothers," joked Reigns.
There was another knock on the door and this time Roman answered it since he was standing right next to it. "What's up Sheamo? Come on in," he said while stepping aside so Stephan could enter.
"Having a sleep over tonight lads?" Asked Stephan jokingly.
"Something like that since we aren't invited to dinner," said Seth.
"To be fair, if I had to choose between a night alone with Scar or a night with Scar and three other guys, I would choose to have Scar alone," said Dean while winking at Stephan.
Everyone looked at Stephan who just gave a blank look to Dean. Suddenly the atmosphere got alittle uncomfortable.
"Um, yeah. Anyways I'll see you guys later. Come on Steph," I said while grabbing my bag. I took Stephans hand in mine and pulled him along with me while I opened the door and walked out.
"No means no Scarlett!," yelled Seth. "Don't take advantage of the poor guy!"
Stephan just shut the door and I quickly wrapped my arms around his waist. With me not wearing any heels, I barely came up to just under his shoulder. I gave him a quick peck on the lips which he deepened by placing one hand behind my head and the other on my lower back. I pulled away and smiled up at him while wiping away the lipstick that was left on his lips.
He let me go but quickly took hold of my hand as we walked to the elevators. He was wearing dressy black shoes with a dark wash pair of jeans and a black sweater. He had on his signature grey newsboy cap on. We then entered the elevators and made our way down to the lobby. We then walked hand in hand into the New York City streets. "So, was there anything specific you wanted to eat?" I asked as we slowly walked down the street.
Stephan then stopped infront of me, pulling me against his body and placed both his hands on my ass while giving a very rough squeeze. "Just you," he said.
"As tempting as that sounds, you're gonna have to wait for the entire entre," I told him as I pushed him away and continued walking.
Stephan quickly caught up, only having to take about two steps with his long legs and took hold of my hand once again. "Was that alittle to forward?" He asked.
"No, I just don't want you thinking that we're going fuck right away just because of that thing that happened in Ireland. I probably gave you the wrong idea and that's my fault but I really like you and don't want to rush the sexual part of our relationship. Not that I think we're in a relationship, I didn't mean it come out that way. Are you mad?" I asked wanting to know what he thought about what I just said.
We stopped walking and Stephan took hold of both my hands. I looked up at him and saw him start to lower his head. I stood on my tippy toes and used his hands to balance myself as our lips met in a soft kiss that made me melt. When we pulled away Stephan brought his hands to hold my face and I placed my hands on his strong chest.
"I want to hear me," he said as we locked eyes. "I'm not mad, you haven't given me a reason to be mad. Sex has crossed me mind but that's mainly because I'm a man and I think you are incredibly beautiful and find you extremely attractive. As far as a relationship between the two of us, That's what I want this to turn into. I'm ready for anything as long as it brings me closer to you.'
I couldn't believe this man. He was to good for words. "Why are you so perfect?" I asked him.
He let go of my face and placed his hands ontop of mine. "I am far from perfect love, trust me."
"I doubt that. You're handsome, sweet, and if you're good with kids I'm locking you up and not letting you go."
"I'm amazing with children," he said bringing my hands to his lips.
A few more blocks and we opted for a nice little place that wasn't that crowded. We ordered two large salads with water and talked some more as we waited for our food.
"So, what are your plans when you get back home?" He asked taking a sip of his water.
"Well, I'm landing in Tampa with everyone else on Wednesday morning, so I'm going home and starting on some of my laundry. I might fo to the gym but that depends on how much time I have before I have to shower and get dressed so I can pick up my sons from school. After that we'll head back home where we'll hurry up and do the homework for that night so then the three of us can go out to eat and spend time together before I have to take them back home and get them showered and into bed."
"Do you ever get the chance to rest?" Asked Stephan.
Our food arrived and I waited until the waiter left to answer him. "Yes, when my boys are in bed asleep I have my Scarlett time."
"And what does Scarlett do during Scarlett time?"
"It varies from night to night. Sometimes it includes me having a few drinks by myself or with whoever I invite over. Other times it can mean me going out for the night, whatever I'm in the mood for at the time."
We each finish up our salad before Stephan spoke again. "So is there a possibly of me being brought into your Scarlett time?"
"Well that depends on what you think we will be doing," I told him as the waiter came to pick up our plates and bring us the recite.
Stephan picked up the check and we both walked to the counter so he could pay. "I think we will be doing whatever Scarlett wants to do."
"Then you are definitely invited to Scarlett time."
Your feedback is always awesome!
