Taylor's Point of View-
After the show, I turned my camera in and went back to the women's locker room changing out of my black attire to my outfit I wore to the arena. Melina walked in like she was in search of something.
"What are you looking for?" I asked.
"You, me and Gail are going to go see a movie, you want to come?" Melina asked.
"No thank you, Chris and I are going to go get drinks." I said as I pulled my bag up over my shoulder.
"Oh, okay, you still riding with Gail and I tomorrow?"
"Was planning on it unless if my dad makes me ride with him." I said as I walked towards the door she was standing in.
"I won't let him kidnap you from us." Melina said as she grabbed my arm dragging me with her as we headed out of the arena.
"Yeah, that will settle good with him."
"He can get over it." Melina said as we walked up to a car, "Gail, this is Taylor, Taylor this is Gail." Melina said, I stuck out my hand shaking hers.
"Nice meeting you." Gail said.
"Same." I said as I heard the door of the arena click open, I turned my attention to that seeing Phil walk out with a bud in his ear.
"We should get going to that movie." Gail said.
"Catch you guys later then." I said walking past them towards Phil turning his attention to me. "Hey, sorry to bother you, but could I snag a ride to the hotel?"
"Snag?"
"Yes, snag."
"Sure, why don't you want to ride with your dad or drive yourself?"
"Because I'm not old enough to rent my own car, and I have to share a room with my dad, that's enough time to be with him." I said as he took his iPod out sliding it into his pocket.
"Right, spending time with your dad is such torture huh?" Phil said as he took me to his rental car popping the trunk open allowing me to put my bag in next to his.
"Sometimes yes, I dig your theme music." I said as I helped him slam the trunk shut before we climbed into the car.
"Thanks, did you get any good shots of me?"
"I'm a professional, I think I know how to capture the moment and get good shots."
"How am I supposed to know? I've never seen any of your work."
"Maybe you need to pay more attention to , then you'll see my photos on there." I said.
"How would I know which one is yours since there is more than just you taken the photos?"
"Very true, tomorrow find me after the show before I turn my camera in and you can look at your photos." I said.
"I'll just have to do that."
"Do you test all the photographers?"
"Only those that talk to me." He said smiling.
"Thanks for the ride." I said.
"No problem." He said pulling the car into the hotel parking lot.
"You had a great match tonight."
"Thanks." He said as he parked the car in an empty parking spot, climbing out and grabbed our things from the trunk. "So, what are you doing tonight?"
"Um…I'm going to my room to drop my bag off then I'm going to the bar to meet a friend."
"You drink?"
"I used too, but right now I'm cutting down." I said, I figured I should considering I don't want to drink until I know I'm pregnant or not.
"Good for you, would you mind if I come keep you company until your friend shows up?"
"Sure, you want to meet there in five minutes?" I asked, I was nervous about this, it's not a date or anything, I hope he knows its not a date.
"Sounds good." Phil said smiling as we went separate ways to our hotel rooms, I was sharing one with my dad, when I entered he was no where to be found. I set my bag down leaving my purse hanging on my shoulder, I found the notepad and pen writing a note to my dad:
'Papi!
Going to the bar downstairs with Chris and Phil, be back later, don't wait up I'm getting back late. Love you!
-Taylor'
I folded it writing the word Papi big on the folded part putting it in the corner of the mirror that hung next to the television, I walked back out making sure I still had my room key heading to the elevator heading down to the bar seeing Phil sitting on a bar stool next to the bar. I walked up sitting down next to him resituating myself on the stool to get comfortable.
"Hey." I said smiling.
"Hey, what took you so long?"
"Sorry, I have a room on the fourth floor." I said as I ordered a Pepsi at the bar.
"Aw, I have on the first floor, lucky me huh?"
"Much, thank god they made elevators but sometimes I swear the stairs could be faster."
"I agree, if you worked on Raw and saw me at Raw, how'd you get over here to Smack Down? I didn't know the trade effected the crew?"
"Good question, apparently some photographer broke their ankle trying to catch one of you guys, since Smack Down didn't need him in the uploading or editing department and Raw did, they swapped him with me." I explained as the bartender brought me my drink.
"Why you? Do they think we like you or something?" He said jokingly.
"Jeez, I've only known you for a couple of hours and you already hate me, I see how it is I'll just leave then." I said in a manner like I was hurt by it, I picked up my drink pretending to get up and leave the bar.
"I was joking, sit back down here." Phil said grabbing my arm pulling me back down to the bar stool.
"Well, maybe they think that you like me because they put me wherever you are."
"That's funny, I didn't see you on ECW, or at Ring of Honor with me."
"My bad, I didn't become your stalker until recently." I said giggling a little and smiling.
"Has anyone ever tell you that you have a cute smile?"
"I've been told before, but thanks for telling me."
"Just because I asked if anyone told you that you had a cute smile doesn't mean I actually DO think you have one."
"Your just nothing but cruelty, why did I even agree to come to the bar with you?" I asked.
"Your not taking offense to my humor are you?" He asked smiling over at me.
"Nah, I can handle it, you have NO idea who my friends are do you?"
"I have a good guess, it isn't those Hardy Boys are they?"
"No….I've met them, but I've been on Raw a lot of the time." I said as Chris walked up to me.
"Hey girly." Chris said hugging me for some odd reason.
"Chrissy-Poo!" I said back at him, I knew he hated when I called him that, I love calling men that but a lot of them hate me calling them that besides Matt since he knows I will continue saying it anyway.
"Hey Phil, how'd you two meet?" Chris asked standing next to me wrapping his arm around me and Phil seemed very uncomfortable.
"At the arena, we went and grabbed the last Pepsi at the same time, you know, I have to be up early to leave for the next show, catch you later Taylor, Chris." Phil said standing up shaking my hand and Chris's hand.
"What was that about?" I asked looking over at Chris after Phil got out of earshot of us.
"Who care's, now I don't have to worry about him flirting with you, aren't you a engaged person, you shouldn't be accepting his flirts and doing so back." Chris said sitting down where Punk used to be.
"We weren't flirting, we were having a conversation, what us normal people do, I don't know what you un-normal do." I said.
"MM HMM, sure. I know that look, your attracted to him." Chris said pointing at me, I felt myself blushing and I was trying not too, "Don't fight that blushing, I can tell, I'm not going to tell Matt, you just better hope that Matt doesn't find out your crushing on him, he'll be SUPER jealous and it'll be one big mess." Chris said snatching a sip from my Pepsi.
"I know, but we could still be friends couldn't we? I wouldn't understand why Matt wouldn't let us be friends? Plus, I don't know how me and Phil can work out as friends being on two different brands." I said turning on my bar stool to face the bar.
"What are Melina, your dad, Shad, JTG and I? Chop liver?"
"You at least are." I joked.
"I've seriously missed hanging out with you, me and you always have those shots. I can't believe you go for those tattooed freaks, next your going to say you find Jeff Hardy attractive."
"I can't believe you find those blonde bimbos like Kelly Kelly attractive, what's next? Your going to find Maryse attractive?"
"Shannon Moore?"
"Michelle McCool?" I shot back, Chris and I sat at the bar drinking, I drunk my Pepsi's and Chris drunk alcohol, I walked him back to his room making sure he didn't kill himself. He shared a room with Dolph, I only knew his character's name but never really been introduced to him, I used to like to call him MIKEY! when he was with the spirit squad, I only knew it was Dolph because his blonde hair stood out in the dark room. Dolph was asleep when I entered with Chris hanging onto me since he couldn't walk from his half drunk ass.
"Who turned out the lights?" He asked.
"Sh…..Dolph's asleep." I whispered.
"Are you the woman I'm going to bang?"
"No, I'm not your blonde bimbo."
"How about her?" He asked nodding towards Dolph, I SO wanted to say yes and help him in that bed to pull the BEST practical joke on Dolph but I don't know the guy personally and it'll probably backfire somehow, plus for storyline purpose Dolph is dating Maria and I don't want to mess with that, I don't mind Maria she is one of the SWEETEST girl's I've ever met but we never got to hang around each other enough due to our schedules, now we're cool, plus Melina gets along with her as well so it also helps.
"Nah, she's taken, this is your bed, let me help you get to your boxers." I said.
"Now your going to help me strip, you sure we're not banging?"
"Not even in your dreams or in infinity years mister." I said as I helped him, I did most of the work since he past out, 'Thank god he's asleep now.' I thought, I then pulled out my phone to use as a light to write a note to Dolph explaining it so he could at least deal with him in the morning, hopefully Dolph is a nice or half way decent guy, yet I was tempted to snap a photo of Jericho with my camera on my phone, but I was nice to Jericho. I walked out of the room going up one floor to my own room sneaking in not to wake my dad, but he woke up.
"What time is it?" He asked.
"3 AM, sorry dad." I said.
"Don't worry about it, your not drunk or tipsy are you?"
"No, I haven't had one single drink, you could smell my breath." I said, even if there wasn't a chance of me being pregnant I would still not drink when I'm staying with my dad, he's known to have one or two drinks here and there with the guys like Mark or a few others, but I usually tend not to unless if there was a different room for me to stay in so he won't smell it on me, maybe in a way I still want to be daddy's little princess but on the other hand I don't.
"I trust you, how about Chris and Phil? I didn't even know that you knew Phil or that he drunk."
"Um….Chris is pretty much close to being drunk, that is what took me so long, I took him to his room helping him get situated. Phil didn't drink any since he's straight edge, he and I just had Pepsi's, he left early due to Chris, I met Phil at the arena in catering." I said as I sat on my bed pulling off my shoes.
"Well, get to bed, we are getting up at 9 for the long drive to the next town."
"I'm riding with Melina and Gail."
"You wait and tell me at 3 in the morning?"
"Sorry, I didn't see you earlier to tell you." I said.
"When are they leaving?"
"Probably around the same time." I said as I crawled up the bed just to sleep in my regular clothes so I didn't have to change now or in the morning.
