(OK Please read, enjoy, review. Even the smallest of reviews warms my day & pushes me to write more. You know the drill: I don't own ANY WWE/TNA personal or likenesses, nor any of their family members. This is purely for fun & not based on real things.)
12/17/05
The group headed for the club again. Cindy even allowed her self to relax more around Jason just as long as he didn't try to bring Kat up again. At one point Jason excuses himself & Cindy just continues to dance with the rhythm of the music it being a steady beat that doesn't really need a partner. The song switches to a slower beat, but her heart almost races hearing U2-with or without you. She starts trying to move off the floor when a hand grabs her wrist stopping her.
"May I have this dance." A familiar voice she prayed she would never hear again. She tries to steady herself before coming face to face with Adam. He offered a light smile she moves closer while the voice in her head yells at her not to. He moves to hold her hand the other placed around her waist as they begin to dance. "I missed you." He whispers in her ear.
"You must have me confused with someone else."
"No…I knew just seeing you walk in here…now this…you would not have started to leave when you heard our song."
"I was leaving cause I didn't have a partner."
"That so…how many nights did we just lay holding each other when you still could not walk."
She tried not to cry she tried not to break. "I am sorry you have me confused with someone I am not."
"Why won't you admit it…you owe me that much Kat please…I know you can't be a figment of my mind."
The song was ending & his hands moved to cup her face. Before she could pull away he lightly pressed his lips to her. For a brief moment her mind was filled with the familiar feelings. Just as fast thou she pulled away from him tears in her eyes as she slapped him across the face. She turned rushing from the club. Unknown to her James saw it too & was actually leaving the lounge area. James' first thought was to kick the guys ass not even knowing at first who it was, but he saw the kiss.
He stopped that train of thought when he saw Cindy storm from the building knowing she would need to be calmed down he headed for the exit instead. He found her around the side of the building leaning against the wall her left foot braced on it with her head down.
"Cin…"
"Not now James…not now." Her voice shaking.
"Come ere Darling." He moved closer.
"I. want. To. Kill. Jay!"
"What Jason do?" He lightly placed his hand on her shoulders.
"That ass set me up…he had to of…it's the only way…"
"Darling take a breath."
"A breath…in case you don't know he kissed me."
"I saw I wanted to go after him till I saw you were upset over it. I thought you would have been flattered at first that a guy wanted to kiss you & then came to me instead of storming out here."
"That wasn't some guy…It was Adam."
"Ah shit…Now I see why you think Jay set you up."
Speak of the devil Jay comes around the corner after hearing their voices.
"Cindy let me…" He screams when James turns grabbing him to pin him against the wall. His nostrils flaring looking in to Jason's face. "Ja-James le-lets not do any-anything we may re-regret."
"Let him go dear…in case his snake of a buddy comes out." James lets go & takes a step back keeping his eye on Jason. "If rest of that statement was explain…then it better be good…did you tell Adam I was going to be here & who you THINK I am?"
Jason looked a mix of embarrassed & ashamed. "Yeah…yeah I did…I ran at the mouth about you the first day I saw you…" He was shifting nervously. "By then the wheels were already in motion…He said he just wanted to see you…he even told me he would try to behave when he saw you…I…I never thought he would try to kiss you. Before you ask I told him you were engaged."
"Why the fuck are you two hung up on this girl?"
"He loved her, he fell in love with her before they even saw each other face to face. I guess you can call it a cyber romance that in time became real. The thing is she was badly injured the first night…Some may of said it was fates way of saying it wasn't meant to be. He just saw it as a test, she was in a comma for two weeks." She tried to think back she was told it was only a few days. "Adam & her father stayed by her bed until Titan threatened their jobs. Then on their days off they flew back down to be by her. He did all he could to support her. Even when she wanted to give up he stayed by her side. With her injury there was a chance of her never walking again & she thought he was pitying her, but it was just love. He loved her no matter the obstacles that were thrown in their way."
Cindy tried not to look down hearing his words. Adam did do all that…but he also shattered her heart. She had no love for him still, the dance, the kiss may of stirred old feelings. They were just that though, old, faded the past.
"Good I found you." Adam spoke turning the corner, he was slightly out of breath & Cindy quickly grabbed Storm by the shoulder to stop him from rushing him. She closed her eyes before turning towards Adam.
"I don't want to keep repeating myself to the two of you…I am not this Kat person. I will not be this Kat person. Obviously she is someone that meant something to you Adam…for that I am sorry…shouldn't you put her memory to rest?"
"I can't…not when I see her looking right at me."
"Fine..I'll play your game for now. Maybe get this from your system. You think I am this Kat person. I guess I left because one of us stopped loving the other?"
"No…At least I didn't anyways…She thought I was cheating on her…That wasn't the truth though." Adam spoke slowly trying not to break down.
"OK so what was the truth?"
"It was a stunt I was helping a friend of ours play on her boyfriend."
"What so you cheated…or pretended to cheat with a girlfriend of a friend?"
"Yeah, she felt underappreciated by him…she wanted to make him jealous & fight for her."
"Why didn't you tell Kat about it?"
"She wasn't on the road with us at the time, she was still recovering."
"SO you had a girlfriend who was still home recovering from not being able to walk & you go make pretend kissy face with a female friend?"
James wrapped his arm around her waist seeing she was getting agitated again. Adam spoke again. "I was a fool…I should of told her from the start I didn't think of it neither did Amy, the less people that knew the more believable it would be. She found out by accident & before I could tell her she vanished…no one could find her for about a month. She then showed up at the arena, clearly upset pretty much said good bye." He sighed lowering his head.
"OK so why won't you leave it at that?"
"Because I never got to explain."
"Well now you did to a…facsimile of her…does it change anything?"
He lifted his head looking at her. "I don't know…does it."
"NO…Dear I think we are done here." James nodded & they began walking past Adam & Jason.
As the couple passed Adam he spoke again in a quite tone. "Katarina…please."
Before she even realized it she turned pushing Adam against the nearest wall glaring at him. "YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH ONLY ONE PERSON….FUCK!" She threw her fist into the wall next to Adam's head before she turned storming off. James rushed after her. He had no clue where she was heading & didn't know if she did either.
"CINDY….CINDY." He kept trying to get her focus from where ever it was, he had seen her just punch a brick wall without flinching, adrenaline rush was an understatement. He finally got a hold of her as she was entering a park. Turning her around his wrapped his arms tightly around her feeling she was beginning to burn up. "Shhh Darling, please…please calm down." He pulled from her just enough to brush one hand on her cheek before softly kissing her. Slowly the heat from her body came down some.
"Sometime I wonder if you will do that because you want to or only when you think I am about to go nova on ya." She tried to weakly joke.
"Hey Darlin I'll do it as often as you will let me." He leans in again kissing her a little deeper until he hears her wince.
She sighed when he looked at her. "I think I need to get to an ER." Looking down at her hand she cringed as it was swelling stuck in a semi clenched position.
"Yeah Darling lets see if we can find a cop or someone for directions or a cab that might know…I'll call the guys on the way." He started to walk with her back towards a road. "What happened?"
"I was so angry at myself…I was so close…so close to being free of him. He knows now, there is no doubt he knows now. It will only be a matter of time before he asks about the explosion."
"You so sure he knew because he used your old first name?"
"No…her name was Katherine…Katarina was my father's childhood nickname for me…Katarine…his little cat. God I was so close till I heard Adam call me that…it just set me off…only my father called me that."
"I'm sorry Cin…if he stick his nose around we will deal with it."
"How though…when he asks how I survived an inferno what can I tell him?"
"We will think of something." James flagged a cab for them taking her to the ER while calling AJ to let them know where they were.
