Hello Everyone! I'm back with the next chapter of the story. I've been a little side tracked with work and real life. I want to thank everyone for their continued interest in this story. This chapter was born out of the Dean Ambrose injury and my hatred for Jason Jordan. I hope you enjoy it!
She Makes You Wanna Fight For Her
November 12, 2017
"Is everything ok? That's the 5th time you've looked at your phone in the last 10 minutes?" Renee asked
"Yeah. I just miss Colby. I have no patience today and I just want him to get here."
"I'm excited to see Jon too. Overseas tours are crap."
"At least you got to travel a bit with him." Scottie glanced up at the door. "I can't wait to jump into his arms."
"Aww. You two are too cute. I'm guessing you two made up after the fight."
"We made up over the phone. He still apologizes when he calls. I've been distracting him with house plans."
"How are those coming along?"
"We're still in the really early stages of planning. We're trying to find a contractor for the build."
"Have you guys decided what you want in the house?"
"We started making a list of our wants and needs."
"Let me guess. He needs a man cave?"
"More like a video game room." Scottie laughed. "But I'm getting a huge home office so I don't mind. I'm actually going to surprise Colby with a CrossFit gym."
"What goes in a CrossFit gym?"
"I'm not really sure. I'm going to ask Josh for design help."
"Good person to go to. Is it going to be attached to the house?"
"I'm trying to decide if I want it in the basement or build a separate building. It would be easier to hide in the basement but I wouldn't want to hear his head-banger music while he was down there."
"You would need some good noise cancelling wall panels." Scottie excitedly looked up when a shadow fell on the table. She was disappointed to see Nathan. Better know and hated by the WWE universe as Jason Jordan.
"Ladies."
"Hello Nate." They both replied. Scottie glanced over his shoulder as several other Superstars walked in the hotel.
"Would you mind if I sit?"
His question fell on deaf ears as Scottie caught sight of Colby entering the hotel. They locked eyes as Colby made his way across the room. Colby dropped his bag and pulled her into his arms the moment they were in arms reach of each other. Scottie tucked herself in against his chest, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. They stood there for several long moments ignoring the world around them. Jon and Renee were having their own hello. Nate sat there ignored.
"Hey." Scottie whispered as she pulled back a little.
"I missed you." Scottie felt his muscles relaxing under her touch.
"I missed you too."
Colby dipped his head down to speak directly into her ear. "Can we go up to our room? I want to talk to you in private for a minute."
"Of course." They turned to Renee and Jon. "We'll be right back."
"Take your time." Renee said.
"I'm sorry." Colby said the moment their door to their room shut behind them.
"Colby…"
"Let me apologize."
"You already did."
"I was a thousand miles away at the time." Colby said, "I want to look you in the eyes and make sure that you know that I mean it."
"I do know that you mean it." Scottie wrapping her arms around him.
"How are you doing?" Colby asked.
"I'm ok. I promise."
"You sure?"
"Positive. That day is always going to be hard for me. But being with you, talking to you, and now being in your arms is the one thing that helps."
"I'll hold you forever if you want me too."
"That might make wrestling a little hard." Scottie gave a squeak as Colby tossed her on the bed. "What are you doing?!"
"I'm showing you how I'll wrestle with you in my arms."
"Oh my goodness."
"Now for part two of my apology." Colby reached back to grab his shirt, pulling it off.
"I'm liking part two." Scottie said. They made it back to the café almost an hour later. "Is my hair sticking up?" Scottie asked
"You look fine." Colby said
"Finally. I'm hungry." Jon said when he saw them.
"Sorry." Scottie cleared her throat. Scottie took a seat next to Joe, who had joined the table. "Hey! I'm glad to see you're back and feeling better."
"Yeah. I'm glad to be back."
Jon took in Scottie's flushed face. He leaned over to Renee and fake whispered. "Told you they were up there having sex."
"Oh my." Scottie covered her face with her hands.
"Jon! Leave them alone." Renee said. Colby just grinned as he sat next to Scottie.
"Had an apology to make." Colby said.
"Colby!" Scottie swatted his chest.
"What?" He kissed her forehead before looking "Where's the waitress. I'm hungry."
"I'm sure you are." Jon said
"I hate you both." Scottie turned to Renee. "We can do without them right?"
"They are good for some things. Like reaching things on high shelves."
"That's true." Scottie said as Colby dropped a heavy arm across her shoulders. Pulling her closer to his side.
"You keep me around for much more than that." He whispered into her ear. Scottie scrounged up her nose before letting out a laugh.
Scottie wondered through the hallway of the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA the next afternoon. Colby had gone off with Jon and Joe to get ready for their match tonight. She looked down at her watch. She was supposed to meet Renee 20 minutes ago. As she was coming around the corner she bumped into Nate.
"Sorry Nate. I wasn't paying attention."
"That's ok. I was looking for you."
"Me? What can I do for you?"
"I want to talk to you about my storyline. I've been getting booed ever since I 'came out' as Kurt's son."
"We can't predict how the audience will react to a storyline. I'm sorry if it wasn't the response you wanted."
"I want you to change it."
"Nate you'll have to take that up with Vince."
"I'm taking it up with you. You're the head of creative."
"Make an appointment with Paul and Vince and air your grievances with them."
Scottie went to step around him. Nathan grabbed her upper arm preventing her from leaving. Scottie yanking her arm back but his grip was unrelenting. Her heart started to hammer in her chest. Fear pulsed through her veins as she realized they were all alone in the hallway.
"Let go of me."
"I don't appreciate being blown off."
"And I don't appreciate being grabbed. Don't think for a moment that I'm not telling Vince about this."
"Is that a threat?" Nate drug her closer despite her digging her heels.
"Hey! What's going on?" Andrew said. The man know at Luke Gallows quickly closed the gap to Scottie's side. Nate released her arm.
"Nothing just a creative meeting." Nate stalked off.
"You ok?" Drew asked
"Yes." She said looking down the hallway where Nate disappeared. "Thank you."
"No problem. Where are you headed?"
"Catering."
"I was just going there myself." Drew walked with her to catering. When they got to their destination Scottie reached up to hug the tall man.
"Thank you again."
"Let me know if that nerd bothers you again." Drew headed back out while Scottie found Renee.
"What was that about?" Renee asked
"Nate cornered me in the hallway and grabbed my arm. Drew walked me here to make sure that he didn't bother me again."
"Are you ok?" Renee reached out to put a comforting hand on Scottie's leg.
"I'm fine."
"I'm surprised Nate is still breathing with how protective Colby is."
"I haven't told Colby yet."
"What? Scottie you have too."
"I know and I will. But you're right. Colby is very protective and I'd rather avoid a fight at work." Scottie sighed. "I'll tell him later at the hotel where I can calm him down."
"Either way he's going to be angry." Renee said, "But I'm glad you're ok."
"I am. Plus, he's getting reported to Vince."
"Good. The guy is a jackass."
After eating with Renee, Scottie went back to the Shield locker room while Renee got ready for Raw. She distracted herself by working on some business stuff for NXT. She smiled when she heard the Shield music from the TV. She had fired off a quick email to Vince to let him know what happened. After the opening segment, the boys came back to the locker room. She watched as Colby changed into his Shield gear, wetting his hair down again. Stretching, Scottie stood up from her seat.
"Be safe and have a good match."
"Always." Colby leaned down to kiss her.
"Mmm…one more." Scottie grinned. Colby complied. After they left, Renee came in to watch the match with her.
"The crowd is really getting behind them."
"Yeah. They look good for their first match as a unit."
"Like riding a bike." Renee laughed. "Who gave Colby a redbull before the match?"
"I don't know but I'll be reaping the benefits tonight." Scottie said with a wiggle of her eyebrows. When the guys got backstage, Colby was all smiles. Scottie laughed as Colby pulled her into his arms. Kissing all over her face. All thoughts of the Nate situation went away.
"Alright. Enough with the kisses. You're making me sick." Joe said next to them.
"Go take a shower. You stink." Scottie said pushing at his chest.
"I smell manly."
"I'm going to go enjoy the rest of the show with the girls while you guys get cleaned up." Scottie reached up to kiss him. "Come get me when you're done."
"Of course." Colby said. Scottie and Renee left the boys locker room. They joined Mercedes, Pam, and Lexi in the girl's locker room.
"Oh my." Scottie turned at Renee's words. Seeing on the monitor the reason for the words. She watched Paul pedigree Nate.
"That wasn't part of the plan." Scottie said.
"Do you think…?"
"Maybe." Scottie said, "I'll be right back." Scottie met Paul as he was coming through the curtain.
"Hey. Walk with me?" He asked when he saw her.
"Paul." Paul made sure there was no one around them.
"Listen to me. He had no right to put his hands on you."
"I know that. But you didn't have to pedigree him."
"I'm surprised the other three very protective guys in your life didn't 'pop' out."
"I haven't told them yet. I was trying to avoid a fight." She said, "But I appreciate the gesture anyway." Paul cupped her face.
"I love you. You're like the baby sister I never wanted but got anyway."
"Jerk." Scottie pushed his chest. "But I love you too." She hugged the large man. "I'd appreciate if you could keep this quiet until I tell Colby and the guys."
"No problem."
"Thank you." Scottie said. Paul walked with her back to the dressing room.
"So…" Renee prompted.
"Paul knows about Nate. He was surprised that Shield music didn't hit."
"Nate would have probably shit his pants." Renee said. The door opened and Colby popped his head in with his eyes closed.
"Sorry ladies. Just looking for my lady and her friend."
"Everyone is decent." Scottie said standing up. He opened his eyes and stepping in the room.
"Ladies." He greeted. He put a hand on Scottie's back. Pulling her closer to him. "I hope you don't mind. Joe asked if we wanted to go to dinner and I said we were going back to the hotel."
"Oh really?" Scottie traced the edge of his belt with her finger tip.
"I still have some apologies to make."
"I am so glad we took separate cars here." Scottie said, "I just need my laptop and we're good to go."
"Already pack and with my stuff."
"You are the best."
Colby and Scottie said a quick goodbye to their friends as they collected their bags. When they got to the hotel they rushed up to their room. Scottie giggled as Colby kicked the door shut. Scottie gasped as he dove down, catching her legs, and tossing her over his shoulder. Scottie smacked his butt.
"Caveman." Scottie giggled.
"Your caveman." He said pulling off his shirt. Her breath caught as she stared at his chest.
"Yes you are."
Scottie hooked finger in her belt loop and tugged. Colby's strong hands slid up her sides. Taking off her shirt and bra and tossing it behind him. He pressed his bare chest against hers. Scottie slid her hand into his hair as his tongue mingled with hers. Colby started to bite and kiss his way down her neck, her chest, and down to her navel. His lips grazing the sensitive skin above her jeans.
Her back arched as Colby drug her jeans and panties down her legs. Scottie threw her head back with a gasp and a moan. One hand clawing at the blankets beneath her. The other gripping Colby's hair. Unable to keep her hips still. Colby's fingers drug into her hip, the slight pain only increasing the pleasure. Her body felt like she was melting. So many sensations rushing through her. Scottie bit her lip to stop herself from crying out.
"No. Don't do that." Colby said from between her legs. "I want to hear you."
"Colby."
"Little louder." Colby sucked a kiss to the inside of her thighs.
"Colby!" Her hips arched off the bed again. Colby threw an arm across them, pinning her to the bed.
"That's it. Let everyone know your mine."
"Always." She panted. "Only yours." Her legs curled up involuntarily as the pleasure became too much. With a stuttered breath she fell apart. "Holy fuck." She wheezed out. Colby crawled up her body.
"That was just the beginning." Colby promised.
It was well into the next morning before the couple passed out from exhaustion. Scottie was only woken by Colby leaving the bed shortly before they had to check out of the hotel. She gasped as she saw his back when he walked towards the bathroom. There were four angry red lines down the center of his back.
"What?" Colby asked glancing over his shoulder.
"Thank goodness your wrestle with a shirt on again."
"Why?"
"Check out your back in the mirror." Colby returned from the bathroom a few minutes later with a smirk on his face.
"That's nothing. You should see your neck."
"Colby!"
"What? You left scratch marks all down my back. Only fair that I return the favor." Colby climbed back into the bed. Scottie sighed as his weight settled on top of her. "What time do we have to check out?"
Scottie glanced at the clock to her left. "About an hour."
"Perfect." Colby dipped his head into her neck.
"I'm hungry." She protested with a giggle. His beard scratching against her sensitive neck.
"So am I."
"For food."
"I'll feed you later." Suddenly Scottie felt Colby tense against her.
"What's wrong?" Colby sat up, gently holding onto Scottie's arm. Scottie looked down and saw the hand-shaped bruise.
"Shit. Scottie I'm so sorry."
"Sorry? What for?"
"What for? Look at this bruise. I didn't realized I grabbed you that hard."
"Colby…the bruise." Scottie wasn't sure how to start.
"I'll be more careful with you."
"You didn't give me the bruise."
"What?"
"I got this yesterday afternoon." Scottie admitted
"Yesterday? And I'm just hearing about this now?"
"I had other things on my mind last night."
"Scotlyn…" Scottie wrinkled her nose at the sound of her full name.
"Yes. I should have told you yesterday. I got preoccupied and it slipped my mind."
"What happened?"
"Promise not to get mad."
"Someone grabbed you hard enough to bruise your arm. I'm already mad. What happened?"
"I was at the arena last night and Nate cornered me in the hallway."
"Cornered you?"
"Yes. He wanted to talk about his storylines. I told him to make an appointment. When I tried to walk away he grabbed my arm."
"Son of a bitch!"
"Drew came around the corner and Nate ran off. I promise I'm fine." Colby lifted her arm to place a kiss on the abused flesh. He started to get out of the bed. "Where are you going?"
"To punch the little weasel in the face." Scottie grabbed Colby's arm to prevent him from leaving.
"No you're not." Scottie tugged until he laid back down. "I have already talked to Vince about what happened. He'll be meeting with Nate when we get to Charlotte."
"Are you sure I can't punch him in the face?"
"Yes."
Colby sighed. "What if I just break his nose a little?" Scottie shook her head. She rolled them over where she was straddling Colby's waist. "What are you doing?"
"Helping you relax."
Later that morning, Scottie watched from the bed as Colby packed up all their stuff. After their morning romp, he barely let her move from the bed. Colby glanced around to make sure he wasn't forgetting anything in the room. With all their suitcase by the door. Colby held out his hand towards Scottie.
"You ready?" Colby asked.
"Mmhm." Scottie hummed, snuggling into his side. "How long is the drive to Charlotte?"
"About 4 hours."
"Let's stop for breakfast before we hit the highway."
"No problem." Colby pulled the door shut behind them.
"Wow. I'm surprised the two of you can walk this morning." The couple turned to see Nate coming out of the hotel room next to theirs. "Must have worked up quite the appetite with all the moaning and banging I heard last night." Nate said. "And this morning." He added.
Scottie gasped, her face burning red with embarrassment. "You need to shut your mouth." Colby growled. His body growing tense.
"I gotta say I'm impressed with her stamina." Nate grinned. "Hickeys are a bit whorish though." Colby spun around, stalking over to Nate and getting inches from his face.
"You better back off if you know what's good for you." Colby said, "Open your mouth again and I'll rearrange your face."
"Is that a threat?"
"No. A promise. Especially if I find out you ever put your hands on her again."
"You ran and whined your boyfriend that I touched you." Nate sneered at Scottie.
"You left a bruise on her arm. You're lucky that I love her more then I feel the need to beat your ass."
"Big words tough guy. For a man who only got where he is because of who he's screwing." Scottie squeezed herself between the two men. Pushing on Colby's chest to get him to take a few steps back.
"Hey." She said drawing his attention. His cold brown eyes warmed when they locked with hers. "Forget him. He's not worth it. You promised me breakfast remember." Scottie smiled at him.
"Forget me? I guess you're good at forgetting people you don't like. Wait until he screws around on you. Then you'll just be a whore he used to further his career." Colby side-stepped Scottie before she could reach out for him. In the blink of a second, Colby had stuck Nate. Blood was pouring out of his nose. "You broke my nose!"
"I warned you to keep your mouth shut. If I hear another word about Scottie come out of your mouth. A broken nose will be the least of your problems."
Scottie's eyes shifted around to all of the people now crowding in the hallway. Without another glance at Nate, Colby led Scottie back to the elevators. Scottie kept sneaking glances at Colby as they headed to their rental car. Colby opened the door for her before going around to the back to load their stuff. Scottie watched him from the rearview mirror. The car was silent as they drove away from the hotel. Before they got to the highway, Colby pulled into Starbucks.
"I'll run in. Do you want your mocha thing?"
"Yes please. Venti white mocha with peppermint and a warm coffee cake. Thank you."
"Of course. I'll be back in a few minutes." Scottie bit her lip, staring out the window unseeing. She jumped when Colby opened the door 10 minutes later. "You ok?"
"Yeah. Sorry. I didn't see you come back."
"You were thinking pretty hard about something." Colby said handing her, her drink and coffee cake.
"I'm…worried."
"About what?"
"Colby, what if he has you arrested for assault. That could ruin your career."
"I don't give a damn about my career. I wasn't going to stand there and let him talk about you like that or put his hands on you." Colby growled. "The most important thing for me is that you are safe, happy, and respected."
"How did you get so perfect?"
"I found the right woman." Scottie stretched over to kiss his cheek.
"All worry aside… it was kinda hot watching you defend my honor."
"Oh yeah?"
"Definitely sexy."
"I can find a quiet spot and you can show me how sexy you found it."
"Colby!" Scottie slapped at his chest. "Not happening."
"Worth a try." Colby laughed. "I love you."
"I love you too." Scottie pulled out her beeping cell phone. There were several notification covering the screen. "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's all over the internet."
"What is?"
"You punching Nathan." Scottie raked her fingers through her hair. "Someone took a picture and posted it online." Scottie clicked on the link. "Seth Rollins punches Jason Jordan. No details were given about what started the fight but several onlookers saw Rollins punch Jordan while Rollins' girlfriend, Scotlyn, a WWE executive, stood nearby. Could Seth Rollins be cheating or being cheated on?" Scottie groaned. "Great. He harasses us and I'm made out to be the cheating slut."
"We'll deal with this when we get to North Carolina. For the next 3 hours, we're going to forget everything."
Scottie agreed and turned off her cell phone. Colby kept Scottie's mind off of the situation for the rest of the trip. Singing along badly to the radio, even getting Scottie to 'head bang' along with his metal music. The couple met up with Joe, Jon, and Renee once they made it to the hotel. Joe and Jon shared a look after seeing Colby's bruised knuckles.
"We'll help you take the bags up." Joe said. Scottie and Renee waited in the lobby so the 5 of them could go to lunch.
"What happened?" Renee asked. "Twitter is going crazy."
"It's been a shitty morning." Scottie sighed, "Colby was upset about the bruise."
"What bruise?"
"When Nate grabbed me yesterday. He left a bruise on my arm. Colby saw it this morning and felt bad because he thought he did it." Scottie blushed slightly. "I had to tell him what really happened."
"And he went looking for Nate?"
"Not exactly. He was understandably upset about the bruise but I had him calmed down. Until we left the room. Apparently Nate was in the room next to ours."
"Oh my."
"Yeah. He made a comment about hearing us have sex. Colby told him to knock it off but he kept talking and insinuating that I'm the reason for Jon and Colby's title win. Nate mentioned about know who to screw and called me a whore. Colby decked him."
"I would have decked him too. What a jerk." Renee said, "Now…about the noises."
That brought a full laugh out of Scottie. "Renee!"
"What? You were loud enough for the next room to hear. What was he doing?" Scottie glanced around to make sure no one could overhear.
"He's really good with his tongue." Scottie stated. Both ladies broke apart with laughter.
"I know I heard somewhere it's never good when two women are whispering and laughing together." Jon said as they approached Scottie and Renee.
"It's usually because they're talking about us." Joe took a seat next to Scottie, tossing an arm around her shoulders. "
"Hey." He said quietly getting her attention. "Just say the word and we'll triple powerbomb his ass."
"I'll keep that in mind." Joe kissed her cheek.
"We got your back baby girl."
"Hear that?" Scottie asked Colby. "You better always be nice to me. My giant Samoan will powerbomb you at my command." Scottie laughed as they walked back to the rental.
"Believe that." Joe pipped up from the driver's seat.
Later that afternoon after arriving at the arena. One of Vince's assistance told Scottie that Vince needed to see her in his office. Scottie took a deep breath before standing up. Scottie smoother down her top. She thanked the assistant before looking over at Colby.
"I'll be right back."
"I'll go with you." Colby said putting down his gear.
"Colby."
"Nope. I was the one who punched him. I'm going with you." He said. Scottie relented and Colby reached for her hand. Together they made their way to Vince's office. Scottie let out a shaky breath as she knocked on Vince's door.
"Come in." They heard Vince announce. "Scottie, Colby. Please take a seat." Vince gestured to the chairs.
"Vince…" Colby fell silent when Vince held up his hand.
"As you can imagine it was distressing to see two of my WWE Superstars and top executive involved in a hotel brawl. Mr. Everhart's nose is broken."
"I should be sorry but I'm not." Colby said.
"Colby." Scottie shook her head at him.
"I'm not. He took it too far when he put his hands on you. And then to make lewd comments. I'm not going to stand there and let someone talk about you like that." Colby looked at Vince. "I'll take whatever punishment you think is necessary."
"In light of what Mr. Everhart did to Scottie yesterday. No punishment will be given to you."
"What's going to happen to Nate?"
"He's been suspended. He'll have to complete anger management classes if he would like to return."
"Good." Colby said, "Maybe he'll learn to keep his hands to himself."
"Since it's already all over the internet we're going to be releasing a statement on . We'll keep quiet on the details. Just that there was an altercation backstage between Colby and Nathan at Raw and it boiled over. We're going to leave Scottie's part out of it."
"Thank you." Scottie said.
"No problem." Vince said, "Now if you'll excuse me. I have to get ready for the show."
"I'm going to go get ready." Colby said after they left the office.
"Alright. Call me when you're done. I'll be around." Colby nodded before they headed off in different directions. Scottie knocked on the door frame to where Stephanie's office was set up. The older woman looked up. "Hey Steph. You busy?"
"No come on in." Scottie stepped in and closed the door. "My dad told me what happened. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. I honestly don't know he grabbed me hard enough to bruise."
"Doesn't matter. He never should have put his hands on you. He's lucky he's not being fired."
"Vince mentioned anger management classes."
"Yes and everyone will take a mandatory sexual harassment seminar."
"Great. Another thing for everyone to talk about me for."
"What are you talking about?"
"Nate mentioned that it seemed like I am playing favorites. With Colby and Jon winning the tag titles. And that made me wonder who else thought like that."
"Unfortunately it will be something you'll deal with your entire relationship. Look at Paul and I. We've been together for 17 years and our judgement is still called into question."
"I'm just worried about Colby. I never want any of his accomplishments to be questioned because of our relationship. He's earned every opportunity he's gotten."
"Colby knows that and that's the only opinion that matters. Everyone is going to have their opinion. You'll learn to block out all the rest of the talk."
"Thank you."
"Anytime. I'm always here if you ever need any advice or just someone to listen." Stephanie said. Scottie felt better after leaving Stephanie's office. She found Renee in the hallway on top of a trunk.
"Hey." Scottie said hopping up next to the blonde.
Renee looked up from her phone. "Hey."
"Are the guys done yet?"
"No. Sometimes I think they spend more time getting ready then we do."
"Definitely. Especially Colby and Joe with all their hair." Scottie glanced down the hall. "Speak of the devils."
"No babe we're hounds." Colby corrected her. Scottie swiped at his arm.
"Hey tiger. Keep those claws away from me." Jon said from Colby's other side.
"You told him?"
"He saw my back while I was changing."
"I'm confused. What's going on?" Renee asked. Jon pushed Colby's shoulder to turn him around and raised the back of Colby's shirt. "Damn girl."
"I gave as good as I got." Colby said pointing to Scottie's neck.
"Don't you have The New Day to go beat up?"
"Love you." Colby leaned don to kiss her cheek.
"Yeah. Love you too. Be safe."
"Always."
Scottie was exhausted by the time they made their way back to their hotel. After Smackdown went off the air, everyone had hung around. The two groups didn't have many opportunities to hang out with each other. Colby had slid into bed and fallen asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Scottie laid there for several hours. Trying and failing to fall asleep. She rolled back and forth, unable to get comfortable.
Scottie turned over once more to face Colby's back. She scooted closer to press against him. She kissed the ridge of his shoulder. Her fingers tracing over his abs in random patterns. Scottie jumped when Colby's hand came up to cover hers. Interlocking their fingers and raising it up to kiss the back of it.
"Did I wake you?" Scottie whispered.
"It's hard to sleep with your tossing and turning." Colby turned to face her. "What's going on in that pretty head of yours?"
"Nothing."
"It's not nothing if it's keeping you awake." Colby sat up where he could see her face. "Talk to me."
"It bothered me." Scottie paused. "What Nate said about me being the reason for your success."
"Nate was being an asshole."
"Maybe. But there was still a vein of truth behind it." Scottie looked down for a moment. "I don't want to be an asterisk next to your career. That's why I went to talk to Stephanie while you were getting ready with the guys."
"What did she say?"
"That as long as we were together. There would always be talk. Because I'm in a power position there will always be someone who assumes you get opportunities because of me."
"Did you?"
"Did I what?"
"Use your connections with Vince and Stephanie to help my career."
"No! Of course not."
"Then let everyone talk." Colby cupped her face. "I love you."
"I love you too." Scottie leaned forward for a kiss.
