I spotted Rose coming out of Mark's office and ran straight to her and jumped in her arms.
"What in the world?" she said looking at me with a weird look.
"I have been looking everywhere for you" I told her
"Well you found me so what's up?" she asked as we linked arms and walked down the hall.
"The sexiest guy in the company just asked me on a date" I told her jumping up and down.
"Wait!" she said pulling away and shaking her head "Finn asked you out?" she said with smirk.
"Whatever" I said rolling my eyes at her
"Oh you mean Rollins I wouldn't say the sexiest but a close second" she said laughing
"Really?" I said giving her a cold stare
"I'm kidding" Rose said laughing
"Ro I haven't been this excited in so freaking long" I told her
"But" she said
I rolled my eyes before stopping and leaning against the wall "I hate that you know me so well" I mumbled
"Lacey listen this is your first real date in over seven year and the first time your actually trying to put yourself out there so you have every reason to feel scared and nervous, But do you see how happy you are right now that's what is important so all you need to do is let your guard down and just enjoy the date and him" she told me "Go in there with an open mind and allow yourself to feel something again" she added
"Okay" I said pushing myself off the wall with a smile
"And if for some reason it doesn't work out then at least you can say your tried" Rose said
"True" I told her "So do you want to go shopping with me tomorrow to find an outfit?" I asked doing a dance.
"Of course" Rose said laughing "I have a match see you in a little bit" she added walking off.
I was walking back towards my station when I could overhear a conversation that was taking place.
"All I'm saying is that I'm single and so is Rollins" Nikki told her sister and Nattie
Nattie shifted uncomfortably before rubbing the back of her neck "Is there anyone else that might have caught your interest?" she asked
"No" Nikki said giving her a weird look "And plus there is videos of him admitting that I am beautiful and we use to always flirt with each other" she told the other two.
"I guess, I need to go and get prepared for my match ill catch you two later" Nattie said
Nattie came around the corner and locked eyes with me "How much of that did you hear?" she asked me.
"Enough" I told her "But you know what, I am sick and tired of living this sad and lonely life because I'm sacred that I will get hurt again so I'm not going to do it" I added "Now I may have not paid enough attention to see what was going on between Nikki and John but I will be damned if I let her sink her claws into my man again" I said
"That's what I'm talking about" Nattie said laughing
"You might want to warn your friend Nattie, That if she even attempts to go after Colby this time I won't back off and be nice" I said turning "Oh and that it will be a whole lot more than one single punch" I said walking off.
I waited until she was completely gone before I jumped off the crate and smiled to myself going to gorilla.
"Your smiling like Lacey was earlier" Rose said laughing
"Oh yeah" I said raising my eyebrows "Any reason why she was so happy" I asked
"Something about this guy asking her on a date I think he is a part of the crew or something" she said
"You're mean" I said looking down at her
"I know" she said laughing "but I am happy you asked her out she is really excited" she added
"Me too plus she just called me her man so that's a good sign" I told her
"Huh" Rose said looking at me confused
I told her about the conversation I overheard and what Lacey said "But the most important part is she called me her man" I told Rose.
"Calm down there Romeo" Rose said "First off its about damn time she stood up for herself and second off I need to know where this date is taking place so I can help her pick an outfit" she added
"Meet me at the locker room after our match and I will give you the details" I told her with smile
"Okay" she said going out of the curtain.
After our tag match I took a quick shower and threw on a pair of shorts and a tap out shirt I walked out a packed my bags.
Leati and Dean were sitting on the other bench when the door opened and Balor walked in grabbing his things and turning to me.
"Where you taking my girl too?" he asked me
"There is a diner down the street, I feel like I will need a few cups of coffee for all her questioning" I told him.
"I thought she just wanted the details of the date" Finn said to me
Dean laughed before standing up "Now we all know that she is going to turn this into an interrogation" he said.
"Yes she is" I said laughing "you can join us man" I told Finn smacking his chest and walking out the door.
"I swear boys take longer than girls" Rose said when we walked out "Hi handsome" she said giving Finn a kiss.
We made our way to the exit were Lacey was standing talking to a few of the other girls. I didn't even try to hide the smile on my face when we locked eyes.
"I'll get the details in the morning after CrossFit" Rose said to me "Lacey you hungry?" she yelled
"Yeah" she said waving bye to the others and coming toward us
"Hi" I said lacing my fingers with hers
"Hi" she said smiling back at me and gripped my hand tighter.
