Chapter 14: Secret

"Nothing weighs on us so heavily as a secret." – Jean de La Fontaine

I looked up at Matt with a small smile.

"Yes?" I asked sheepishly. He only smiled back at me, "We should talk about this. Us." I suggested nervously, "because it's going to go against everything I've ever told my father... And I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing..."

"I didn't stand up to Dave for nothing."

"Thank you, again. He's a gigantic sleaze."Matt laughed, "But we do have to talk about what this means..."

"It means I want you to be my girlfriend." He told me, causing me to shift my gaze from his eyes to our feet, "I know you've said you'd never date a wrestler... I want to show you that it doesn't have to be bad."

"Everything I've ever known tells me that it is going to be bad." I mumbled.

"No one has to know. Just us two until you think you're ready to tell Bret."

"Realy?" I asked in disbelief, looking back up in time to see him nod, "We can't even hold hands in public... You deserve a proper girlfriend.

"I'm willing to stick it out until you're ready to tell." I smiled widely at his words, "Just as long as I can do this-" he leant down and kissed my lips, "- if we're alone."

"I don't think I'm in any position to say no..."

I was at home again. Sitting on my bed and thinking about the possibility of moving out. I'm twenty six. I have a job that pays pretty well. It's not like I couldn't afford a house... I have enough money saved in a trust fund from Dad to buy that... Hell, I could probably buy back the Dungeon with the money I have.

I had thought about it before – moving out that is, not buying the Dungeon – and I always talk myself out of it. I convinced myself that I couldn't live without dad. I'm a grown woman; I don't understand why I keep telling myself that I need dad.

"Ra, we're flying out tomorrow morning, are you all packed?"

"You're actually on Raw tomorrow; you're not just pulling me along for nothing?" I asked him cheekily and he nodded, "Okay, well then, yes. I am all packed and I'd be ready to leave right now if I had too." I smiled at him,

"You've been thinking," I shrugged at him, "You have that far off look on your face. You know what's going on, but you're also thinking of something else."

"I was thinking about buying my own place and moving out..."

"It's up to you, sweetheart. Just when you turn thirty you might have to leave. I have no problem with you living here; it gives me some company... But the decision is entirely yours. Just don't move too far away."

He'll be lonely if I leave. I can't do that to my dad! I have to move out by the time I'm thirty... I can do that... Sooner rather than later though, right? I guess I'll talk to my boyfriend about it. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Thursday, February 11

Dave keeps talking to me. That's all he ever does, I swear. He's always looking for me! On numerous occasions I've had to run to get away from him. All he wants his sex. It's in his eyes. That and he has now successfully fucked the Garcia Twins. I think I'm the only female in the back he hasn't gotten any from. I'd also like it to stay that way.

Matt wants to rip him apart. But he can't. That violates the confidentiality thing we have going. He's so good for doing that. I want to be able to hug him and hold his hand in public, but I'm just not ready to tell Dad. He says he understands, so that's good.

"You think too much." I jumped when Matt spoke. He'd managed to enter the room without me even realising. We're still rooming together. Dad's not fussed, Harry is though. Poor guys too protective.

"Sorry... Just thinking about moving out, Dave and everything else." I saw the muscle in his arm tense when I mentioned Dave, "Matt, please don't worry about it. If it gets bad I'll talk to dad... Or I'll talk to Vince. Don't do anything stupid." I hugged his middle in hopes of getting him to loosen up, "It doesn't matter."

"It does matter. He shouldn't be anywhere near you. You should get Paul to have a word with him..."

"I will," I said to please him, "Next time I see him, I'll ask him to speak to Dave. I promise." He sighed and disappeared into the bathroom to have a shower.

Dave was going to be a big problem. I'd heard that he'd be leaving at the end of May. I'm not allowed to tell anyone though... People would be a whole lot less stressed and awkward if he left. I don't understand why Vince loves him so much. I don't understand how the little kiddies used to love him. The guy's a pig and from what I've seen and heard of his on screen character... It was never much different from the real person, just PG rated. He's a prick.

I'd also heard that some shit went down when he wrote his book and he pulled poor Melina into it and some other stuff. Nobody will actually tell me if it's true, though. It's a shame. I should talk to Melina, I've never met her before... But maybe she'd be able to help me out with this Dave thing.

That might be awkward though... They dated right. Now she's dating John... not Cena, but the other guy with the long hair and the ripped body. Maybe I won't talk to her. I think I need to talk to someone other than Matt. He gets angry when Dave is mentioned.

Paul. I will definitely talk to Paul.
