The Next Day
Trish was the first one to wake up. She turned over and noticed Adam was still asleep.
He's so cute when he's sleeping. Trish thought.
She stroked Adam's face and kissed his forehead. She pulled the big, comfy blue blanket back and got out of bed. Trish stretched quietly and made her way to the bathroom to get ready for her day. She didn't have to be at the arena until the afternoon, but it still thought it was a good idea to get her things ready before she did go. After Trish got her things together she ate a light breakfast and went to take a dip in the pool.
While Trish was having her morning swim she felt a pair of eyes were watching her. Trish quickly turned around and saw Adam leaning against the sliding door with his arms folded and a smile on his face.
'' Hey!'' Trish said splashing some water on Adam. '' How long have you bee standing there?'' She asked playfully.
'' Not long. '' Adam said covering his face not wanting the cold water to splash him in the face.
'' I was looking for you when I woke up. I didn't see you in the kitchen or bathroom, so I figured you'd be out here, which you are.''
'' You know me so well.'' Trish said as she swam to the pool's wall. She rested her head on the pool's edge.
'' Well I am your best friend.'' Adam said meeting her at the pool's edge. He kneeled down so he talk to her on the same level.
'' Who I adore so much!'' Trish said and pulled Adam in the pool with her as he was still fully clothed.
'' Hey! Don't you got me wet enough?'' Adam said coming up from the water.
'' No. Plus I was getting you back from when you so rudely pulled me in the pool with you the other night.''
'' You had on a bathing suit. I'm in my clothes!'' Adam exclaimed.
'' Yet you're still in the pool.'' Trish said.
'' All because of you. Come here!'' Adam said reaching his arm out for Trish.
Trish quickly got out of the pool and ran inside with Adam following not too far behind. Adam shut the sliding door and gently tackled Trish onto the couch. Both were giggling non-stop. Once the giggling stopped Adam leaned in to kiss Trish. His lips were but a few centimeters away from Trish's when the door bell suddenly rang.
'' I think you should go answer that.'' Trish said quietly. She was still lying on the couch beneath Adam.
'' Oh...right.'' he said. He helped Trish to her feet and went to the door, while Trish went to the guest room to take a shower.
Adam opened the door.
'' What's up, bro?'' Jason(Christian) said with a smile.
'' Not much.'' Adam said a bit annoyed.
He was so close to kissing Trish and it was all ruined because of bad timing. What was Trish going to think about what he just tried doing anyway?
'' Where's Trish? Or is she at the hotel with the ladies?'' Jason asked making his way into the living room. '' And why are you wet?'' he asked stepping in his tracks.
'' Trish pulled me in the pool like this.'' Adam said running his hand through his wavy wet locks.
'' Ohh. Something must be going on between you two.'' Jason said.
'' No, but I almost kissed her.''
'' What?'' Jason said. He couldn't believe it.
'' I was just caught up in the moment and right when I was about to kiss her you knocked on the door.''
'' Glad I did. Something might have gone down between you two.''
'' Shut up.'' Adam said.
Jay just laughed.
'' You better not tell anyone about this.'' Adam demanded.
'' Why not? Its not like you two actually did kiss or...you know.''
'' I know, but you know how the last rumor started.''
'' That last rumor started because you were talking in a locker room full of gossipers.''
'' True.'' Adam said. '' But still, dude, just don't tell anyone.''
'' I won't, but Trish will.'' he said smiling.
'' Huh?'' Adam said with a puzzeled look on his face.
'' You know how the ladies tell eachother everything. Whether its good or bad.''
'' Oh yeah.''
'' But I won't, dude even though its not a bad thing. Like you said you were caught in the moment with her.''
'' I was. Dude, I think I'm falling for her.''
'' Really?'' Jason said.
'' Yeah. Ever since me and her danced together at the bar in Chicago I just can't stop thinking about her. I've been trying to deny it, but I can no longer do that.''
'' Whoa.'' Was all Jason said.
'' Whoa, what?''
'' Whoa, that you feel this way about Trish. I thought I'd never see the day.''
'' Yeah...well its the truth. I never meant to fall for her. It just happened.''
'' I understand. I mean how could you not? You were spending all this time with her and you two are best friends. She deserves better than what she had and that someone could be you.''
'' Yeah, but what about Chris?'' Adam asked.
'' He didn't deserve her then and still doesn't deserve her. Its his loss that Trish is no longer with him. I could never live with myself if I hurt the woman so called love everyday and at that hang out at a bar the night of my anniversary.'' Jason said.
'' I know, but there is one good thing that came out of their broken relationship.''
'' What?''
'' It brought me and Trish closer together. Now, I don't know if she does feel the same way as I do about her, but I do know that we care a grat deal for eachother.''
'' I see. You took two attacks just to show that you really do care about her. You're a great friend to her.''
'' I try.'' Adam chuckled. ''I just hate seeing her unhappy.'' He said seriously.
'' Everyone does.''
Jason and Adam heard the water from the shower shut off.
'' And here she comes.'' Adam said.
'' She may feel the same way. You never know.'' Jason said.
'' She's been with Chris off and on for seven years now. She still loves him, man.''
'' She may love him, but she may no longer be in love with him.''
'' I still think she's in love with him. No way they'd still be off and on after seven years.'' Adam whispered.
'' You never know, dude. Don't doubt yourself. She may have fallen for you.''
'' I don't know.'' Adam said.
'' Hey, Jay.'' Trish said.
'' Hey, Trish. How's it going?'' Jason said as he gave his fellow Canadian a warm hug.
'' Good. You?'' she said.
'' The same.'' Jason replied with a smile.
'' If you'll excuse me, I'm going to get out of these wet clothes before I catch a cold.'' Adam said and headed to his room.
Trish and Jay just nodded.
Later That Day
Trish, Jay, and Adam arrived at the arena together.
'' I'll see you guys later.'' Jay said and headed to the men's locker room.
'' See you later, Jay.'' Trish said.
'' See you, man.'' Adam said.
Jay just waved his hand as he walked to the locker room.
'' Well look who it is.'' A voice said.
Trish and Adam looked over and saw Michael coming towards them with a smile on his face.
'' Hey, Mike.'' Trish said with a smile.
'' Hey, man.'' Adam said giving Mike a five.
'' Hello. Long time no talk.'' he said.
'' Sorry. We've just been so busy having fun.'' Trish said.
'' Hope not too much fun. Don't want to make your back injury even worse.'' Mike said in a now serious tone.
'' Actually my back's been doing better. I've been relaxing and I didn't need to take the tylenol. All because of Trish.'' he said as he looked at the blonde with a big smile.
'' I just wanted to do what was best for you.'' she said blushing a bit.
'' So you nursed Adam back to health? I didn't know that.'' Mike said.
'' If you can call it that. I just told him to relax and stuff. We also went out quite alot, so you really can't say I nursed him back to health since he was supposed to be in bed healing his back.'' Trish said.
'' My back would've probably been stiff if you didn't have me go out and with you. I had a great time with you.'' Adam said.
'' I had a great time with you too. I can't wait til we come back here again.'' Trish said.
'' Hello. I'm still here. I hope you guys didn't forget me.'' Mike said waving his hand as he looked at the two best friends talking to eachother like he wasn't even there.
'' Oh. Sorry, Mike.'' Trish said.
'' Yeah. Sorry.'' Adam said.
'' Its alright. Paul told me you come back in a week or two. You happy bout that?'' Mike asked Adam.
'' Of course I am. You know how you feel like you just have to go out there and wrestle, even thought you know you can't?''
Mike nodded. '' Felt that way when I had my back injury in 1998. I was a wreck. Thank God it healed and I returned better than ever!'' Mike said.
Adam and Trish laughed.
'' Well see you later, you two.'' Michael said.
'' Bye, Mike.'' Adam and Trish said in unison.
'' I have to train for my match soon. I'll see you later, okay?'' Trish said.
'' Okay.'' Adam said. '' I hope you do well in your match tonight.''
'' Thank you.'' Trish said and kissed his cheek before walking into the women's locker room.
A/N:I know I said Chris would appear in this chapter, but sadly I don't have enough time to include him in this chapter. I've been rather busy lately, so I can't write as much as I want to. Review anyway, guys.
