Chapter 37 "Surprise!"
As soon as she came out of the ring and reached the backstage she started to run… there was something she needed to know…
-Is this the script for tonight? –She managed to say trying to catch her breath once she reached the women's locker room.
-Yeah… why? Calm down, hun! –Trish tried to say as she started to turn the pages frenetically.
-Here! –She finally said.
-What Ash, what's up? –The Canadian asked confused.
-Look, -she said handing her a page- it wasn't scheduled to happen! Neither Melina and Nitro nor John coming to rescue me!
-Wow! –The former champion commented- So besides the bitch… he did it by himself!
-I guess so… maybe it's a sign or something…
-And so what are you doing here? –Trish smiled- Go after him, run!
---
And so did Ashley, running again through the whole backstage area until she reached John's locker room. She hopefully knocked on the door but there was no answer so, thinking that he might be in the shower, decided to enter anyway.
-Hey, it's me… -She uncertainly said opening the door.
But soon she realized that the locker room was empty cause John had obviously already left. Feeling suddenly stupid to have thought that everything was alright, Ashley sighed and defiantly came back to the rated RKO locker room.
---
As the two superstars were arguing about something, she managed to take a shower and changing in more casual clothes: a light blue jeans, a pale pink belly T-shirt with "100 bad girl" written in white letters and a pair of Nike. Then she reached again the main part of the room and sat on a bench, checking without real hope if John had tried to contact her on the phone.
Meanwhile Edge had left so, after yelling something against his not-so-sure-anymore partner, Randy looked at her.
-What happened to you? –He asked noticing her expression.
-What? Why? –She said as she had just realized that he was in the room.
-You look like you're ready to cry. –He rolled his eyes muttering something like 'Girls'.
-He already left, without saying anything. –She said after a few minutes as he had just asked what the matter was.
-I'm sorry. –The legend killer sincerely said seeing that she was hurt- C'mon I give you a ride to the hotel.
-Thanks Randy. –She weakly smiled.
-I know you love him and I know John loves you… it's going to be just fine.
-I hope so; -She said taking her bag- Do you mind let me borrow your card key? I have to take my stuff for the night but I forgot it. –She said smiling weakly.
-Sure but… your stuff for the night? –He asked with a puzzled look.
-Yeah… I guess he doesn't want to stay with me so I'll room in with Trish and Maria. –She sadly shrugged and left the locker room for the parking lot before he could say anything.
---
-Don't you wanna go inside first? –She nervously asked.
-C'mooon –Randy chuckled- open the door, he won't bite.
-Fiiine! –She rolled her eyes but did so.
When the door was finally opened she saw a carpet of rose petals leading to her and John's bed and a tray in the middle of the room with a cake, a bottle of champagne and two glasses on it.
-What the…? –She said turning to Randy who winked and disappeared in the corridor.
-Hey cover girl. –John greeted her smiling coming from the other part of the room.
-Hey…! –She said taken aback- What's this? –She asked gesturing to the tray and the petals.
-I thought we have something to celebrate, haven't we? –He smiled taking her hand and leading her in the middle of the room when there was a big "Congratulations!" banner hanging from the ceiling.
-But you…
-I'm sorry, Ash. –He truthfully said looking into her eyes- I should have thought that you had your reasons… I remember my schedule back at that time… it was crazy! And I remember when two months ago you were so excited about me coming at that photoshoot…
-But you have your reasons too to be upset, -she interrupted him squeezing his hand- I'm sorry too…
-It's okay… I was wrong to get upset like that…
-And I was wrong to forget it… -She added.
-Okay, -he smiled amused and hugged her- we are both sorry and we were both right and wrong in the same time, so?
-So that makes us two idiots! –She laughed.
-I love you. –He kissed her.
-Me too… ; so all that stuff? –She giggled.
-Yeah it's a make up tentative. –He chuckled- I rushed here after 'rescuing you' to have all set up.
-That's so sweet. –She giggled and then realizing what he had just said punched him on the shoulder.
-Ouch! What was that for? –He protested.
-For have made me worry! –She pouted- I was all hopeful when I saw you out there and then I couldn't find you anywhere.
-Sorry, -he smiled amused hugging her again and kissing the top of her head- c'mon we have to celebrate now!
-John! But the cake has a playboy bunny on it! –Ashley pointed out laughing.
-Yeah tell me about it, I literally had to force the guy to 'create' the bunny in 5 minutes. –He rolled his eyes.
-Haha I love you!
-And btw I forgot to say… -he started with a smirk.
-What? –She asked with curiosity.
-You really look stunning in every pic. –He said handing her the magazine.
-Really? Do you like it? –She smiled surprised.
-You're simply perfect, really. –He smiled back.
-So… are you okay with that? –She anxiously asked.
-Well, -he said sitting on the edge of the bed and taking her with him on his lap- I'm okay with that but let me say that I'm the hell jealous of my girlfriend… so I guess I'm going to kill every superstar who says something about your pics… and especially Orton! –He grinned.
-Thanks, -she smiled giving him a peck on the cheek- it really means a lot to me that you're okay with it… but poor guys! –She laughed.
-I have a feeling that I'm going to deliver FU all over the place then, cause everyone's going to appreciate your photos.
-Probably… -she said with a smirk- but they can only see me on paper, you got me live…
-That's why I'm a lucky man! –He smirked back.
-Absolutely. –She giggled and started to kiss him passionately so soon he was lying on his back with Ashley on the top of him.
-Didn't we have a cake to eat and a bottle of champagne to drink? –He managed to say amused between the kisses.
-We can always have them later, can't we? –She said giggling.
-I totally agree baby. –He smirked taking off his shirt as she started to kiss him again.
In the next chapter the road to WM begins! I'm considering to end this story after the WM part (so in kinda 4 chapters) cause it's getting hard to find new ideas and i really love this story, i don't want to write something 'just to write' if you know what i mean... but if i'll get a lot of reviews saying that you love the story then i could focus better on finding new ideas and keep it up so LOL it's up to you!
