"So that's the plan. Does everyone understand?"
Adam eyed the three others in the room, making sure they understood every iota of the plan because if anything went wrong, everything went wrong.
Amy bit her lip and eyed the two nodding blondes in the room before turning her gaze towards the third blonde in the room who was staring fiercely into her eyes.
"Adam, what if Dave got to Vickie last night?" Amy choked out. If Dave managed to communicate with Vickie and tell her all the events of the previous night then the whole plan would go to ruin.
"He didn't," Curt chimed, "You see, we got another person on our team."
Amy raised an eyebrow, who else would go against the General Manager? It was almost psychotic.
"Chavo was with Vickie the whole night, he told us that as he was going to his room he saw Adam carrying you and knew what went on. You see, Chavo has been aware of the whole affair and most of Vickie's plan to get rid of you so he put two and two together and figured out an outline of what had happened. Smart cookie that one…"
"And so he decided where his loyalties lay, they were with you two. So Chavo made sure to stay close to Vickie in case Dave showed up..."
"Which he didn't, so as we left our room this morning to come to yours, Chavo heard us talking about you guys and decided to let us in on what happened. Amy, you've made a huge impact on everyone here, it's amazing."
Adam grinned slightly whilst Amy blushed. Regretably, Amy's worry got the best of her again.
"What if Batista called or texted Vickie?"
Curt smiled with Zack laughed, "Jeez, that Chavo though of everything you did." The more confident former Major Brother laughed.
"Impossible again, cos Chavo snagged us…this." Curt said pulling out an expensive looking Blackberry. Amy gasped, she had really misunderstood the cocky Guerrero.
"AND he's convincing Vickie to drive out to the next show early because of imaginary interviews and signings. So Vickie will probably be gone by this afternoon and seeing as how Edgeinator is her fiancée we have to go out early as well."
Adam winced at the word fiancée while Amy gaped, Chavo really went out of his way to make sure the plan went to action.
"…Wow." Was all she could manage, "I think this might actually work?" Amy managed to say, slightly hopefully but mostly nervously.
"It will, Ames. Curt, Zack, thank you for sticking this one out with me- with us."
"No problem, boss." Zach Ryder smiled, for once he felt good about a plan being concocted, he didn't have to hurt anyone that didn't deserve it entirely and the outcome of the proposal benefitted him as greatly as it did Adam.
"Yeah, we got your back Edge." Hawkins seconded.
"And I got yours," Adam responded reactively.
"Alright Edge, we better go, we'll see you later. Amy, it was completely awesome meeting you." Hawkins said, reaching out a hand to shake Amy's before turning to the door.
"And don't worry, we're gonna kick that dickhead Batista's ass." Ryder continued, smiling at Amy as he mimicked Hawkins gesture before both blondes left the room.
Adam shut the door and sighed whilst Amy grinned like a Cheshire cat, she knew that Adam had a tough job ahead of him.
"Amy…We've both got some explaining to do about everything's that's bee-"
"Sh…Listen, Adam. We have a tough job in front of us and now's no time for apologies and clarifications. All you need to know is that I forgive you for everything and I love and will always love you." Amy said, cutting off Adam as she wrapped her slender arms around his neck.
"I love you, Ames. I never stopped."
Amy stared into Adam's deep green eyes before laughing again.
"That's the hundredth time you've said that since this morning."
Adam grinned sheepishly, "Well, if I've said it a hundred times before expect it a thousand more."
"I wouldn't want it any other way." Amy said, standing up on her tippy-toes and planting a small kiss on Adam's lips sending shivers down his spine. Amy laughed.
"We'll have time for that later, right now we gotta go disturb the sleep of guys who used to smash ladders into your head and one that still dreams of doing that." Amy joked.
Adam sighed, Amy laughed.

"What have I done…"
The thought kept running through Phil's head as he silently shut the hotel room door, leaving the sleeping blonde he had unashamedly used. He walked down the hotel corridor, guilt pursing through his body with every step he took.
He was a jerk, and he didn't deserve Ashley's forgiveness or Amy's…
The straightedge superstar punched the button on the elevator wall, waiting for the damn thing to arrive. Rubbing his eyes, Phil sighed as he acknowledged the loud beep of the elevators arrival.
"Good morning." A cheery female voice greeted.
Slowly, the straightedge superstar put down his hands and stared into the young woman's face before nodding in acknowledgment, pacing onto the elevator and punching in his floor number.
"Not much of a morning person, huh?" The woman asked curiously.
"I've just had a long night." Phil said impatiently before turning towards the woman and noticing who she was for the first time.
"I know how that feels…" She answered with a chuckle at the end of her sentence.
Phil smiled politely. "You're Mickie James, right?"
"Yeppers and you're CM Punk! Now that we got our identities in order, do you feel like telling me what got you so bummed out last night?" Mickie asked with the same playful smile on her face. Phil couldn't help but notice how cute she looked, on TV and in person.
"It's a long story." Phil said as he ruffled his hair.
"I got time, in fact, we got about 5 seconds until this elevator gets to our floor." Mickie joked as Phil chuckled heartily.
"We might need a little longer than that…How bout coffee? Latte for me and decaf for you." Phil grinned mischievously as Mickie aimed a playful slap at Phil.
"Ouch! Well, sorry Mr. Punk but I got somewhere to be!" Mickie said dismissively.
"Is it a sugar factory cos I think you've been to one too many of those…"
"Oh ha-ha, Mr. Punk!" The Virginia native called as she exited the elevator.
"My name's Phil actually…" The straightedge superstar called after her.
"I know." Mickie said before winking and turning the corridor, disappearing from Phil's gaze.
Smiling, the former ECW champion pushed the close door button and stared into the closing door after Mickie James. For once in his life, a simple conversation had made him forget about everything troubling him in his life. He forgot about all the trouble he would face with Amy, with Ashley and with himself all in the form of an ordinary, juvenile conversation…
Phil knew one thing and that was that Mickie James was having a significant effect on him…
Unfortunately, that effect wouldn't last when he got off the elevator…
