The next morning Rae woke up with a hangover, her eyes red and puffy from crying all night. She had waited for hours on Enzo to call her back but he never did and she eventually fell asleep.
Cori walked out of the bathroom and smiled sadly at Rae. "Hey. How are you feeling?"
"To quote Whistler from the Blade movies...I feel like hammered horse shit. Do you have any aspirin?"
"Yeah, I'll get it for you." Cori disappeared back in the bathroom and came back out with a glass of water and a couple of aspirin. "Here you go."
Rae accepted the pills graciously and swallowed them down with the water. "Thanks."
"You're welcome. Did he call you back last night?"
"No. I waited up for hours hoping he would but he never did."
"Oh hun...I'm so sorry."
Rae sat the empty glass on the nightstand and shook her head. "Nothing for you to apologize for. If I ever find out for sure that Luke is the one who did this...I know I've said it before in anger but this time I really will kill him."
Enzo went through his workout routine on autopilot. He had been up most of the night debating on whether or not to call Rae and eventually he had fallen into a fitful sleep.
"Zo? You okay man?" Cass asked, stopping what he was doing to look at his friend in concern.
"No Cass, I'm not. She called me last night after I got back to my room."
"And?"
"And I didn't answer it. She left a voicemail though sayin' that there was nothin' to the picture. Said that Black had invited Ohno to go along with them to even things out."
"Do you believe her?" Cass questioned and Enzo shrugged.
"I don't know man...I wanna believe her but it's hard to do."
"Are you going to call her?"
"I haven't really decided yet."
Cori and Rae had just finished getting dressed when someone knocked on the door. She walked over and opened it, smiling when she saw Aleister and Kassius. "Hey. Come on in."
They walked in and Aleister gave both Cori and Rae a kiss on the cheek. "We came to see if you ladies would like to have lunch with us."
"I don't think that's such a good idea for me but Cori you go on if you want to."
"Are you sure?" Cori asked and Rae nodded.
"Why don't you two go ahead and go? I'll stay here and keep Rae company. We can order room service for lunch."
"That's not…"
"That's a great idea." Cori spoke up, ignoring the fact that Rae was giving her a dirty look. "We'll be back in a while." She said, practically dragging Aleister from the room.
Rae sighed and sat down on the bed. "Kassius it's not really necessary for you to stay with me."
"I know it's not but Cori told Aleister and I about what happened last night and I figured you might want some company."
"I really wish she wouldn't have told you guys."
"Rae it's alright, really. Dirtsheets are always making a big deal out of everything." Kassius said, sitting down beside her.
"Yeah but my boyfriend saw it and we were already going through something difficult. Now he won't answer my calls or call me back when I leave him messages."
"I knew Enzo back when he was still in NXT and he's a good guy. Just give him time to think things over and I'm sure he'll call you."
"Yeah but what if he doesn't? I went through a really bad relationship and had completely swore off men but Enzo wouldn't give up trying to get with me after we met. I didn't want a damn thing to do with him for quite a while but now...God, I love that man but I'm afraid I've lost him." Tears poured down her face and Kassius pulled her into a hug.
"Don't cry. I'm sure everything will work out."
Rae sniffed and pulled away from him, wiping her eyes. "I hope you're right, I really do."
"It will, I'm sure of it. Do you want to order something for lunch?"
"I don't think I could eat anything right now but you go ahead and get something for yourself. Oh and Kassius? Thanks for lending me a shoulder to cry on."
"Anytime Rae."
Enzo hung up the phone, a determined look in his eyes. He couldn't get a flight to Florida until the next day but that didn't matter because one way or another he was going to get there and he wasn't coming back without Rae by his side.
