Chapter 14
Corey stood out of Brennan's line of sight watching her work. She looked so at ease and happy using her hair and makeup skills. She laughed and he felt the urge to smile himself even though he was in a mood. All he needed to do was make it through the night and then he was off to Smackdown.
He approached Brennan after Jojo had gotten out of her chair.
"I'm sure you've heard the news." He gave her a side armed hug.
"What news?"
"Tom is..."
"I'm getting divorced." Baron spoke after approaching them.
"You two good again?"
They both gestured in a way that meant sort of.
"What do you say to that? Congrats or I'm sorry?"
Baron stared at her long enough to make her squirm. Corey looked between the two of them.
"I'm getting the strangest feeling of deja vu."
Brennan looked away from Baron to look at Corey.
Baron smirked, "You didn't tell him."
"It's not exactly something I want to brag about."
"What didn't you tell me?"
Baron leaned down and whispered in Corey's ear.
The look that crossed his face was enough for Brennan to notice but was gone too quick for her to decipher.
"Was this after the elevator talk?"
She turned away from them as she heard Baron answering Corey' question.
"Maybe two weeks after."
Suddenly she was feeling ashamed. She busied herself setting up her station for the next person that would need her assistance.
Corey touched the small of her back and whispered, "Was it worth it?"
She turned slightly to look at him, but he was walking away.
"You can never just keep your mouth shut, can you?"
"I'm sorry. You guys are close, I figured you had already told him."
"Did you or are you trying to start shit?"
"Oh. You've never had Graves be disappointed in you. What's he care anyway? You didn't do anything different with me than you did with him."
"You're an idiot."
"Why am I an idiot now, B?"
"Angie KNOWS about me and Corey. Angie gave us permission."
He looked shocked.
"Yeah, you dummy. We didn't have sex behind her back. Your wife just assumed we were fucking each other."
"Well, we're fucking each other now."
"God damn it."
"Come on, Brennan."
"It was supposed to stay between us." She turned to walk away, but turned back, "Oh and thanks for telling me that you actually are getting divorced."
"Angie probably told him."
"Why the fuck does Angie know before me?"
"I really shouldn't say."
"What do you know, Pestock?"
He stayed silent.
"Fine." She turned to leave agin before he grabbed her elbow.
"Can I have a kiss?"
"Let go of me." She pulled her arm away making him laugh.
She was banging on Corey's hotel room door that night. She almost had to threaten bodily harm to get the info out of Renee since he was ignoring her after Baron opened his big mouth.
"What the fuck?!" It registered who it was, he leaned in between the frame and the door, "Oh, it's you," he looked her up and down, "what do you want?"
"I don't want to do this in the hallway."
"Okay. What DO you want?"
"I want to know why Angie was the first person to know about Tom's divorce."
He stared at her for a long time.
"Matt."
"Maybe he was asking her for advice."
"Why the fu..." Realization dawned on Brennan before she could finish her sentence.
"You're a brilliant woman."
"Can we please talk?"
"No. I'm not... No."
"Matt, please."
He closed the door.
She stood there holding her head.
Did she really just ruin two marriages?
