Author's Note: Almost getting to the chapters involving Adam! Woohoo!

June

"Hey baby, I'm going to the gym do you want to come?" Nick asked me from my spot on the bed. I was on my computer answering some emails and becoming too obsessed with my new found love Twitter. I needed to go to the gym put today was just one of those days. It was my time of the month and I didn't feel very good but I had to suck it up. We had just arrived in Richmond, Virginia about two hours ago and we spent a little while sleeping. But, Nick is in love with working out and of course he wanted to train at the gym.

"Yeah, I'll come. Give me five minutes I need to change," I replied.

I grabbed my work out clothes and went into the bathroom to change. It was only nine in the morning, pretty early for a workout but I needed to stop complaining. One of my biggest flaws was my need to complain. Nick had noticed this but he seemed to like me anyway. Ever since our bet a week ago we have been nothing but lovey dovey love birds, literally. I'm not saying I love the guy because I don't. I just really like being with him and kissing him. He was an extremely good kisser and kissing him was addicting.

I walked out of the bathroom in shorts and a sports bra and bent down to put my shoes on. Nick was looking at his phone and when I was done we headed out. I hadn't seen any other of our friends at this hotel and I wondered where they were staying. Lately since Nick and I have been rooming together I am doing most of the booking of hotels and airplane tickets. Nick likes to think we need first class every time we fly or four star hotels. As nice as that is he and I can't exactly afford that. I mean we can, but it'll catch up to us soon.

We went outside of the hotel and walked a couple blocks to the gym Nick had found on his phone. The other nice thing about being with Nick was being able to train with some support. I complain a lot about training and Nick was fed up with that. I had to agree with him. I picked this job and there was no point in pouting and complaining. Today, I was working out my legs and abs and Nick was doing his regular routine. Does anyone else agree that watching a man work out is a total turn on?

I wasn't surprised to see Punk and Beth at the gym and I spent most of my workout with Beth. Beth is the most serious trainer out of all the Divas and she is always helping me to become better. She taught me her leg workout and then we took a five minute break. As we drank some water and discussed our future storylines my phone went off.

It was my grandmother and I answered in a heartbeat.

"Gran?" I asked.

"Amelia Calaway, you come to Virginia and you aren't even going to stop by and see me?"

Shit. Gran was the mother of Uncle Mark and my dad, Joe. She was the hippest Grandma and growing up I used to fly out to Virginia and spend a whole month with her during summer vacation. Richmond was her home and whenever I did have the opportunity to travel here I would go see her. I guess since my head is so wrapped around Nick I forgot about her completely. I am such a horrible granddaughter.

"Gran, I'm sorry. I'm a little busy today."

"You are never too busy to visit your Gran."

"I know that but I'm training right now and then I got to head to the arena soon."

"Come over after you're done at the arena. I'll make you dinner."

"Gran, that won't be till after twelve."

"So? Please, I miss you. Come over afterwards and invite all of your friends. I can head to the store now and start cooking for later. How does that sound?"

"Are you sure about that? It would be about thirty hungry Superstars and Divas at your house, at midnight."

"Yes, I'm positive! Besides y'all would just get something after the show so why not come for some home cooked food."

There was absolutely no way I was getting out of this. "Fine, Gran, I'll let everyone know. Thank you."

"No problem, I can't wait! I'll make lasagna and pulled pork. What about some salad and bread?"

"Whatever you make is fine, I will see you later."

We said our goodbyes and I informed Beth on my Grandma's feast later tonight. Punk and Beth said they would go and I decided to send out a mass text to anyone who I knew was going to be at the show tonight. I got almost every reply with a yes and I knew everyone would not pass up a home cooked meal. When I told Nick about it he seemed nervous about meeting my Gran. He heard me talk about her before and of course he wanted to meet the lady who I adored so much. If you met Gran and I introduced you as my boyfriend well that's pretty big.

When I was at the arena in hair and makeup I was talking to Barbie about her wedding. Lately I wasn't being exactly the greatest maid of honor in the world. I definitely didn't deserve an award for this job and sometimes I actually wished she had chosen someone else. But, I needed to be a good sport and start planning. It was my job to set up a bridal shower and all those other things. I made a mental note to Google things you are supposed to do when you are a maid of honor.

"I need to go dress shopping soon, like real soon. I was thinking maybe next month we can set up a weekend and everyone can come out to Tampa. You know me, you, Eve, Corey, and Jackie…And of course my mother."

I wrote that down in my little note pad. "Yes, we will do that. Let me know the weekend and we'll set something up. Also, I need your mom's phone number."

After Barbie gave me her mom's phone number I hugged her and went to get my ring gear on. I had a match tonight with Beth against the Bella Twins. It wasn't anything drastic but like I said many times before, I adored being out in the ring with Beth. She is amazing at this job and so are Gail Kim and Melina. Lately, I must say Creative has been booking Divas horribly. I know that's kind of weird to say considering I am the Divas Champion but there is only so much the fans can deal with when every week it's me and Beth (or Eve or Barbie) against the Bella Twins. Do people really want to see the Bella Twins every damn week? I would switch it up and put in Maryse and Melina. Or let Gail Kim be my tag team partner. I think I'll write an anonymous letter to the WWE. Ha. Imagine that.

I was in the locker room talking to Maryse about nonsense when there was a knock on the door. Most likely it had to be either a worker or a male. Melina went to answer the door.

"Is everyone decent?" Melina called out and everyone shouted a yeah.

Melina walked back into the main part of the locker room with Nick behind her. What a surprise. Nick was wearing jeans and his own t-shirt, which is really typical for any Superstar who doesn't have a match during Raw. Might as well promote yourself right?

"Hey, Nick. I just got your text message. I was going to meet you," I said and stood up after my boots were tied.

"Nah, it's alright. I figured I'd walk you," he said and a bunch of awes were heard from the room. I rolled my eyes and picked up my belt.

"Bye guys," I said loud enough for almost every Diva to hear me. Nick and I left the locker room hand in hand.

I could sense immediately that Nick was nervous, for he was holding my hand a little too tightly. I knew it had to be about my grandma's house considering he didn't have a match tonight. I kind of find it sexy when guys are nervous.

I stopped him in the middle of the hallway and put my hand to his face so that we were looking eye to eye. "What's wrong?"

"What makes you think something is wrong?"

"Well, for starters you are walking down this hallway like a maniac like your practically dragging me down it. Secondly, I could see how tense you are. What's up?"

"I don't know," he said and ran a hand through his hair.

"You can tell me, I won't judge."

"I'm a little nervous about meeting your grandma. She is the first person of your family that I'm really meeting and I don't want to make the wrong impression."

I smiled up at him. "You'll be fine. As long as you say you like her food she'll love you."

"It's not that simple, Millie."

"I'm sorry. If you don't want to go, you don't have to."

"No," he said, firmly. "I want to go, just don't leave me. I need you by me to focus. I can't screw up in front of someone so important to you."

I smiled up at him and stood on my tippy toes to kiss him. "I'll be by your side the whole night."

With that being said Nick and I continued down the hallway toward the gorilla position. Beth and Punk were standing and talking. Beth and Punk were not a PDA type of couple. In fact none of us even knew they were dating until Beth actually informed me about it. They had kept their relationship quiet for such a long time, but in a weird way they were really cute together.

Beth and I did our secret handshake we created a few weeks ago and then pounded fists. We were ready to rock. The first match of the night had just ended and Nick leaned down to give me a kiss on the lips. Oh so addicting. I almost fell over when he pulled away my lips were disagreeing with his.

"Good luck out there," he said.

"Let's just go back to the hotel," I offered.

He laughed and walked away. Well goodbye to you too. I placed my butterfly on my shoulder and waited for my song to go off. When it did Beth and I walked out there all smiles. The match didn't last long at all and the crowd in Virginia was really flat. But, as a great performer you always put on the smiles and don't let the rough crowd bring you down. Sometimes it's hard to act happy when all you want is the crowd to cheer for you.

Eventually when Raw was done for the night most of the roster met in the parking lot where our rental cars were parked and planned follow me to my grandma's house. Even John Cena and Rey were coming which was pretty huge. I drove the rental car I shared with Nick and my Gran was all smiles when twenty-five hungry wrestlers showed up to her house. Gran had even put up some tables and chairs in the living room so people had a place to sit. Oh my God, I can't believe she had gone this full out. We could have sat on the floor and still been happy. We all missed home cooked meals.

Gran made enough food for an army and I saw many people head up for seconds and thirds. Nick met Gran and it wasn't bad as he thought it would be. I kept my promise and spent most of the night next to Nick and he handled himself well when Gran grilled him with questions. I couldn't be more happy to be with a guy like Nick.

Around two o'clock when people began to head out my Gran pulled me into her bedroom for a quick talk.

"I know you introduced that young man as your boyfriend but where did that other man go? The other blonde you once were with?" Gran was talking about Adam.

"Gran, Adam and I broke up a few months ago."

"Oh." She looked genuinely sad. "I liked him…He made you happy."

"Nick makes me happy, cant you see that?"

She nodded her head slightly. "At least I knew that when you were with Adam the smile on your face was real."

This conversation just went sour. I was speechless and yet confused. "Gran lets not talk about this."

"Right," she said and went over to her dresser and pulled out a metal box. She opened it and I could see a stash of cash in the tiny box. She pulled some out and handed it to me. "Take this, just in case you need anything."

"No Gran, I can't take that from you."

"Please Millie it'll go to better use with you then me."

I accepted the money and hugged her tight. I loved my Gran dearly and later that night after Nick and I made love and were resting in bed I said a prayer for her.
