"Eat your food, or your gonna pass out." Blake said, pushing Barbie's plate of food closer to her. The couple were seated at an airport food court, waiting for Blake's flight to arrive.
"I'm not hungry." she pouted, placing her hair behind her ear.
"Well, you haven't been hungry since the draft which was like thirty hours ago. Just one bite, please." he begged, taking off his sunglasses showing his sad blue eyes. Barbie shrugged, before stabbing a small chunk of her salad.
"Happy?"
"Not yet. Take a bite of that chicken or eat a breadstick. I don't wanna worry about you, the whole flight." he said, putting his hand over hers. The blonde said nothing, and began eating lightly. Blake smiled to himself, finally getting his girlfriend to eat. "There we go."
"Now finish your greasy pizza." she jokingly muttered. Blake could see Barbie was hiding a small smile from him, but chose to not tease her about it. He smiled at her, before digging into the rest of his pizza.
"It's nice to see that smile again."
"It would come out more, if you weren't leaving me." she said, taking a napkin and wiping some sauce of the corners of his lips.
"I'm not leaving you, I'm still employed. Remember, you'll have me on my days off."
"Did you forget that Raw, and Smackdown have completely different schedules?"
"I know that, but I kinda planned something out. If your working, when I have a days off I fly to wherever the hell you are and be with you."
"That's sweet of you, but I can't ask you to do that. You've to go home, and see your dogs, and your family. And I've got to do the same. And your not superman, Blake. As much as I wish we could meet up no matter where we are, it's not gonna happen." she said, placing a gentle kiss on his lips.
"Flight 113, Arizona to Texas, report to Gate C"
"That's you isn't it?" Barbie asked, frowning. Blake gave her a small smile, as he threw on his backpack and grabbed his suitcase. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, as they made their way through the crowds.
"Do you want me to call you once I land?" he asked, looking down at the blonde.
"Please do."
"Alright, well this is your stop." Blake said, turning to her as they stopped right outside of the first class lounge. Blake felt his heartstrings being pulled, as he could see the tears forming in her ocean colored eyes. "Can't believe you haven't ran out of tears yet."
"I'm gonna miss you."
"Same here. I'm not that great with goodbyes, so I'll see you soon." he softly said, wiping some tears off her face. He placed a small kiss on her head, before turning the opposite direction and beginning his walk to the terminal. He looked over his shoulder and sent her a small wave, as she blew a kiss to him. Blake took a deep breath, as he took off his jacket and walked through the body scanner.
Barbie was driving back to the hotel, and still had tears in her eyes. She didn't control anymore, and let them flow freely. She wondered to herself, how Blake seemed calm and so composed during them being away from each other. He almost seemed emotionless about it. She shrugged the feeling as she made her way into the hotel, she waved to a few fans and then made her way to the elevator.
"Hey Barb." Maryse greeted, "What floor?"
"Sixth." she smiled, at her friend.
"Just said bye to Blake, huh?"
"The swollen eyes gave it away?"
"Nope, I'm just good at guessing. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm gonna miss him too. Who else is gonna make fun of me?" Maryse joked, trying to cheer up her friend.
"I would be worried, if you said you weren't gonna miss him." Barbie said, laughing. "Can I ask you a quesstion?"
"Yeah, sure. What is it?" the French Canadian answered, as the elevator doors opened on Barbie's floor.
"Do you have time to come and chat for a bit?" Barbie asked, Maryse nodded following Barbie to her hotel room. Maryse took a seat on the couch as Barbie sat down opposite of her. "When you and Blake dated were you guys away from each other from a long time?"
"Yeah, when I got picked up by the WWE I think we saw each other maybe every few weeks, why?"
"Well today when we were at the airport he seemed so calm, and almost like he didn't really care. But I know he does." Barbie said, feeling silly for asking her boyfriend's ex.
"That's how he's always been." Maryse said, getting up and hugging her friend, "He loves you, you know that right?"
"He hasn't said it yet though." Barbie muttered, walking her friend to the door.
"It must be weird hearing this from me, but I would like to think of myself as your best friend not Blake's ex girlfriend. It took him forever to say it to me, and he only said it once. And I had to say it first."
"Great, another thing for me to worry about now."
"Don't sweat it, give him time. Let's have a sleepover. Me, you, the twins." the diva offered. Barbie thought about it for a moment, realizing that she would probably spend her night watching sad movies along if she didn't take her up on the offer.
"Okay. I'll be at your room in like an hour."
Meanwhile, Blake had just arrived to his hotel. He threw his suitcase and backpack on the floor, and collapsed on the bed. He took a deep breath, he wanted to give Barbie a call but didn't want to come off as to attached. The young champion stared into his phone, before resting it on the night stand. He felt weird, almost lost without Barbie. Tonight was gonna be the first night without her, in a very long time. His phone buzzed against the table, grabbing his attention.
Hope ur flight was good, and u got some sleep. Me, Maryse, and the twins are having a sleepover tonight! :) but still give me a call when u can, or text! xoxo
The young man smiled, from the text on the screen.
I'll call you tomorrow, go have fun :) you deserve it.
