Chapter Ten - The Unexpected

The platinum blonde pressed her lips together. A lightly smile was formed by them. The color chosen matched perfectly her skin tone and, most important, it matched with her expensive dress.

Maryse admired her image in the bathroom's mirror. Not only she felt the make-up was perfect for the lovely night, but the red dress, that didn't let too much to nobody's imagination, fitted perfectly her body. The night was going to be perfect and nothing and nobody would ruin it for her.

- Where are going? - Reflected in the mirror, she saw one of the Bella twins staring at her. Not too long before, the other appeared twin showed up. - You are looking too sexy for a night out with us.

- I'm not going out with you tonight - the sultry Diva replied. She placed her make-up kit inside her purse and then twisted her body to stay face-to-face with Nikki and Brie Bella. - I have a date.

- You have a date? - Both girls asked at the same time astonished. Maryse raised her eyebrow. Why were they so surprised? First, Mike belonged to the past - a past almost forgotten. She was not mourning by a relationship where she wasn't happy. Second, she was a good looking woman and all she had to do to have all the men at her feet was to clap her hands - not that she wanted all the men at her feet; the platinum blonde only wanted one.

- I love your support. - The sarcasm was evident in Maryse's tricky accent.

- With whom are you going out? Is he someone we know? - Nikki asked curious.

- I believe Maryse will tell us all the dirty details when she returns from her date tonight. - The third generation Diva, Natalya Neidhart, appeared out of nowhere. - Well, if she doesn't decide to prolong her night out until the morning.

- Do not forger the rules: it's forbidden to have sex in the first date. He will think you are easy - Brie exclaimed in a loud tone of voice. Maryse sent a casual look around the locker room. She wanted people to know about her and Ted, but her sexual life wasn't something she wanted people to talk about.

- Maryse never crosses the rules - Natalya pronounced with a smirk etched across her face. The remark was only understood by the French-Canadian. If the twins knew about her affair, they would know Natalya was mocking Maryse.

- I don't want to be late for my date. If I make him wait, he will think I'm not interested. - Maryse was huge apologist of women making a man waiting for them. Nevertheless, she wasn't appreciating the conversation and it was her only way out.

- Is it the first date under the sunlight? - The Canadian received a dirty glance by Maryse, who keep walking. Her Louboutin heels clicked the cold floor. - Have fun with Teddy.

With her date's identity revealed by her best friend - moments as those used to make the French-Canadian to ask herself why Natalya was her best friend -, Maryse hurried up and tugged out of the locker room her rolling suitcase. She didn't want to spill the beans to Nikki and Brie - maybe the next day she would describe her amazing date and confess she and Ted had become an item.

Leaving the women's locker room, Maryse was caught off guard by the vision of Ted and Eve speaking with each other. She stopped walking - if either Nikki or Brie had rushed after the vicious woman, she would get caught by them - and stared at the two.

A month and half had spent since the morning the Latina learned about her affair with Ted - one month and half had spent since Eve called the platinum blonde French poodle she hadn't anything to make her regret from calling her it.

The French-Canadian would lie if said she hadn't some doubts about Eve keeping her mouth shut. However, the time spent and the other woman hadn't revealed hers and Ted's secret. It made Maryse felt she judged the brunette too quickly, but it didn't make her like Eve.

It didn't matter how many years would spend, Maryse would never like Eve Torres and Eve would never like Maryse Ouellet. Their relation would always be strictly professional.

With her jealousy controlled, the platinum blonde watched the two exchanging words - occasionally a smile. Only when Eve walked away, the platinum blonde moved her feet in Ted's direction.

Through the short trek, Maryse questioned herself if she should ask Ted about his conversation with the Latina. However if she did it Ted would mock her for being jealous of the other woman and it was the last thing she wished.

- I hope I didn't make you wait - the sultry Diva exclaimed, making Ted twist his body to be able to face her. The interrogatory formulated in her mind didn't slip by her mouth. She used all her strength to not ask him about Eve. She was not going to do it. She wasn't going to give him evidence of her green "disease".

- You haven't - Ted replied quickly and offered her a smile. Maryse furrowed her eyebrows. Should she think it was a suspicious sign? - Are you ready to go?

- I couldn't be more ready - she simply answered. As much as it hurt her curiosity, Maryse wouldn't jeopardize their fresh beginning with unfounded suspicions.


- This has been our first date - Maryse pronounced when she and Ted reached the hotel bedroom's door. It already was late night and a silence reigned in the desert hall. Once in a while whispers were heard, but nothing that could disturb a night of sleep.

- Did you enjoy it? - Ted asked, leaning his body against the wall. Her bright hazel eyes and the fond smile had already given him the answer. Nonetheless, he wanted to listen to the answer from her mouth.

- Well, you surprised me with the flowers and I ate chocolate cake. - Her index finger created imaginary circles around his chest. - You know how to win a woman's heart Mr. DiBiase

- Since when are you so cheesy?

- However, I won't forget I caught you speaking with Eve backstage today. - The reply should have caught Ted off guard, but it didn't.

- So, it means no goodnight kiss? - he queried without losing his smirk. He had noticed something was boring Maryse, but she didn't share with him what was. Now, he knew what it was. He felt surprise she had taken so long to query him about his weird and friendly talk with Eve. However, Ted was not going to reveal to the French-Canadian conversation he shared with Eve A relationship could only work out with trust - Maryse would have to trust him.

- I never kiss during the first date. - She loved to play hard to get, but with Ted this game would never work. After all, he already had her. It had spent months since he had her.

- I think you can open an exception tonight for me. - Ted inclined his body a little, to get closer of Maryse.

- I'm willing to open a lot of exceptions for you tonight. - She stopped drawing circles on his chest. A naughty expression could be seen in her eyes when they meet Ted's. - You only have to say three little words because you haven't told them to me yet. - If he wanted a cheesy Maryse, he was going to have a cheesy Maryse. - I won't tell them first and I won't open this door tonight while I don't hear them from your mouth.

For a second Ted thought about telling Maryse she had already told him the "three little words" six weeks ago when she came to ask him for a second opportunity; when she asked for a second chance for them. Nevertheless, the southerner decided to not say a word about it. The night was being perfect. He didn't want to ruin it because of "who said it first" - if he told her it, Maryse would use all she could to prove him he was wrong, even when he wasn't.

Taking a deep breath, Ted pronounced the words the platinum blonde wanted to listen - one day or another he was going to pronounce them because it was how he felt.

- I love you.

- I love you too Teddy. - Her tasty lips touched his. After months living in a roller-coaster, everything around her was settling down. Everything was perfect in Maryse Ouellet's life and there was nothing she could wish more.

- You have to stop calling me that - Ted whispered when their lips broke apart. As much as "Teddy" sounded better with her accent and he had allowed her to call him it, Ted expected one day she stopped with it. On the positive side, she wasn't calling him Teddy Bear.

- Never. - Maryse wrapped her fingers around his shirt's collar and pulled him inside the dark bedroom - she had made sure she wouldn't share it with no one else. The sound of the door slamming echoed through the empty hotel hall.

They didn't expect to fall in love when their relationship behind closed doors started. They didn't expect to see their world crumbling down because of their forbidden love. Every single time the unexpected happened and it brought unexpected consequences with it.

Nonetheless, Ted and Maryse couldn't be happier with everything brought by the unexpected.

THE END
