A/N: As a little treat for my absence, you all get two chapters in one night! How nice :D I apologize though because this one is filler chapter. Still though, I hope you enjoy it :)

DISCALMER: I only own the OCs. All other characters belong to WWE and NXT (FCW).

Oh maybe you know something I don't
If you do, then tell me
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
~Chris Rene, Where Do We Go From Here?


The sweet sound of little birds chirping rang in, accompanied by the light of a new day that peaked through the blinders of the hotel room window.

Lily's arm was draped over Leakee's muscular torso as they laid asleep in bed from their intense lovemaking last night. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled as she woke up to the sight of the Samoan warrior still asleep, looking so peaceful. She rolled over being careful not wake him up.

"Ow! Oh!" She quietly hissed in pain. "And they say once you go black, you're gonna need a wheelchair, hm?"

She reached down to her raver pants on the floor and pulled out her phone from the pocket. It showed her that she received three text messages.

One from Caylee:

"Hey, you ok? Hope The Ascension and Summer didn't get you! :("

And two from her mother:

"Beautiful, when are you coming home?"

"Where are you? It's getting late..."

Feeling guilty that she made her mother worry again, she texted her first.

"Hi, ma! I'm ok :) I actually stayed at a Tampa hotel for the night. I'll explain when I get home."

After sending her text, she went to the photo gallery on her phone and pulled up a picture of herself when she was five and her mother holding her close. She smiled at the picture because it was a reminder of the happy days they still have together. It made her feel so grateful to have such a strong mother in her life.

Meanwhile, Leakee began to stir and wake up. He sat up and found Lily already awake. He moved closer to her, wrapped his arm around, and kissed her shoulder. "Morning, pixie." He glanced over to the picture Lily was looking at. "Is that her?"

She nodded, "Yeah." She leaned her head back onto his shoulder and kissed him on his cheek. "She's been my rock all my life. I know a lot of people say that about their mothers, but she really is. I don't know what I'd do without her." She looked up at him. "I really love for you to meet her someday."

"Would she like me?"

She lightly chuckled at his coyness. "Are you kidding? You know what she said to me when I showed her a picture of you from the FCW Website? 'If I was 40 years younger and didn't have 14 pounds of water weight around my hips, I'd take a run at him!'"

He snickered over her mother's comment. If the mother of the girl you like holds you in that regard, that's got to be a good thing supposedly.

She put the phone down on the nightstand and lied back with him towering over her. "Is it always like this?"

"What do you mean?" He arched an eyebrow, perplexed by her random question.

"I mean... this. Is it always like this?"

"Oh, you think because I was football player that I plowed through the entire cheerleading squad?" He chuckled.

"Well, that seems to be the stereotypical notion." She giggled.

He sat up, resting his back on the head board sighing. "I admit, I went through a bit of a wild period during my freshman year at Georgia Tech. It was fun in the beginning. But after a while I realized that if I'm going to have sex, then-"

"It should be with someone you can have a relationship with."

He looked to her with a smile, surprised that she understands how he feels. "Exactly." He gently ran her fingers through her milk chocolate hair, stroking her scalp. "But to answer your question, no. It was never like this..." He brought his hand down to cup her face with her greeting it with a soft kiss. "I'm glad that I found you, Joe."

"By the way, how did you know that I was here last night?"

"I didn't. Someone slipped a note that had your location under the door of the locker room I was staying in. At first, I thought it was cruel joke. But I had to be sure..."

"It's just that I wasn't expecting to see you. Before you showed up, Donny and Seth were supposed to come hang for beer and a movie. But then Donny called and said that a family emergency came up after he said that Seth's car broke-" He paused for a moment and had an epiphany. He ran his hands over his face and growled.

"What is it?"

"Argh... Lil... They set us up."

"What?" She looked at him blankly before burying her face into the pillows, laughing like a schoolgirl. "Oh, my god!"

"What's so funny?" He rubbed her back to get her lift her head up.

"Well... I think Caylee was in on it, too. She must've told the guys where I was at before she went to the ring."

He sighed. "I guess both of our friends wanted to put us together. Still though. Bastards..."

She sat up and leaned her head on his torso, wrapping her arms around him. "Now, we can't be too angry with them."

"And why not?"

"As elementary school as their plan was, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't gotten the chance to take a risk and have you." She looked up at him with love in her eyes.

He saw that she had a point. They wouldn't have had their moment together last night if she didn't follow the note. "You're right. And I'm glad that you came back." He gently kissed her on her lips and hugged her close.

"Well, heh, I should head home to get ready for practice later." As she got up from the bed, she felt a light tug on her hand.

He held her hand while stroking her fingers with his thumbs. "There's no hurry."

"Sorry." She giggled.

"Can't it wait until later? Come here..." He pulled into his arms, peppering her neck with soft kisses. She stopped him by cupping his face. "Besides, I've got to tell my ma about you anyway." She gave him a kiss on his forehead before giving him a light shove back onto the bed that sent him laughing.

After putting clothes on, they came out of the room holding hands with their fingers interlocked. Lily turned around to face Leakee. He looked classically sexy leaning on the door frame shirtless with his jeans on and his hair pulled back in a ponytail.

She walked up to him and hugged him tight, smiling. "See you later."

"I hope so." He nodded before leaning down to give her a soft kiss on her lips.

She went on her, feeling his eyes on her. As she pulled out her bracer, setting the coordinates, she reflected back on their amazing night together. She was happy that she told him everything about her and her world. She hit the button and teleported back home with thoughts of last night and what lies ahead...

A/N: Looks like Lily's journey has taken a turn for the better! Reviews? Comments? :)
