Before she could open the door Chris turned her around and kissed her lips. While the two were in their lip-lock, a Diva came out of the locker room and gasped when she saw what she was seeing.
''Oh my gosh...I'm not interrupting something, am I?'' Torrie Wilson snickered.
''No, you're not.'' Trish said as she pushed away from Chris and wiping her lips with a pissed look on her face.
''Chris, you're on!'' A different backstage coordinator called from down the hall.
''See you later, Trish. I hope Adam won't be disappointed about our passionate kiss.'' The former undisputed champ said with a smug smirk on his face and turned down the hall. He was finally showing his true colors.
''Hold on! You're not going anywhere!'' She exclaimed and turned Chris around by his arm. ''How dare you kiss me!''
''Trish, it's okay. Come on, let's go in the locker room until Chris is done with his match. You can talk about this later.'' Torrie whispered to her friend as she put a hand on her arm.
''No, Torrie. I think right now is the best time for this.''
The Canadian Diva stepped closer to her ex.
''You think just because we shared a past you can just kiss me?''
''Trish-'' Chris said.
''No!'' The blonde said putting up her finger. ''Let me finish! What part of we're over do you not understand? If I told you countless times before that I'm not coming back to you why do you continue to harass me with your little games?''
''Even before I went back to you for the sake of Adam you pulled this kind of shit.'' She continued. ''Christopher, my dear, get this through your head and get in good; I may have told you that I still loved you, but that is not the case anymore. We're through, which means there is nothing left between us. If this ever happens again I will be sure to bring Vince into this. I really don't think you want to have an early suspension on your first night back, now do you? Get it? Got it? Good.'' The Diva said and turned down the hall back to the women's locker room not caring who saw.
Those words needed to be said a long time ago and that was the perfect time for it. She hoped Adam didn't see the kissing scene. Although it was her life and she could see whoever she wanted to see, she didn't want Adam to feel like he was being made a fool out of again. Chris had the nerve to say he hoped Adam wasn't going to be disappointed from the kiss he gave her. What a jerk he truly was.
''I'm sure seeing them kiss was just a big misunderstanding.'' Jason said.
''A big misunderstanding? Jay, they were kissing. How could I be so stupid to let myself fall for her knowing she probably isn't even remotely over him? They've shared a past for as long as I can remember. She will never be over him.''
''Adam, like I've told you many times before; you don't know that.'' Jason said to his best friend.
''Yes, I do. Just like I know she doesn't and never will want me.'' He said with a smile to lighten up the situation. It was no use. ''I'm going to practice my lines before I go out there tonight. I'll see you later, man.'' Adam said and stood up from his chair.
''See ya.''
A little over an hour passed and it was time for Adam to go out to the for the mainevent match that he was going to be commentating tonight featuring HHH and Jack Swagger. Putting all of his emotions aside, Adam went to the gorilla position ready for the mainevent scheduled tonight. He adjusted his arm sling that he was supposed to be selling an injury for and stood beside the curtain as he waited for Justin Roberts to announce his name.
''Ladies and gentleman, please welcome back and your guest commentator for tonight...he is The Rated R Superstar, Edge!'' Justin proudly announced into the microphone.
Alter Bridge's 'Metalingus' blasted through the loud speakers as the Boston crowd booed the Rated R Superstar.
Adam exhaled deeply and pushed the curtain back to face the thousands of booing WWE fans in attendance. Despite them booing him, the fans were what made Adam forget all about what went on backstage each time ge went out there to perform for them.
He walked up the ring steps and made his way inside of the ring. He stood up and climbed on the turnbuckles to do his usual taunt. As he put up the rock sign with one of his hands in the air he looked at the Boston crowd with a disgusted look on his face to play into his heel role. The crowd booed him once again and he jumped down from the turnbuckle.
''This guy just exudes excellence! Too bad he's injured, but that's okay because that's still Vintage Edge, I tell you.'' Michael Cole said with a huge smile.
Adam made his way over to the announcement table.
''Welcome, Edge. It's so good to see you.'' Cole said shaking Edge's hand.
''You too.'' Adam said and took a seat next to Cole to put on his headset. ''Jerry.'' He nodded to Jerry ''The ''King'' Lawler.
''Edge.'' He chuckled from his bluntness towards Michael Cole.
Several seconds later Motörhead's ''The Game'' echoed through the speakers of the TD Garden arena. Triple H made his way to the ring with a bottle of water at hand as he received a huge pop from the crowd.
''Well look what we have here; it's Triple H!'' Jerry said.
''I just don't get it, Jerry. The guy spits water at the crowd and they just eat right it up. Unsanitary if you ask me.''
''Who asked you anything?'' Jerry asked.
''You know we shouldn't even be discussing HHH, let's talk about me and how I so rightfully deserve to be WWE Champion and how I'm walking around in arm sling!'' Edge interjected.
''Is that so, Edge?'' Jerry chuckled.
''Indeed, Jerry!''The match was about to start after the show went to commercial break. During that time Swagger made his entrance. He too was heavily booed.
The bell rang and the match finally started. After fifteen minutes of back and forth action HHH put Swagger down with a Pedigree. The referee raised H's hand and soon out of nowhere Edge came full force and gave a big boot to Hunter causing his head to bounce off the mat. Edge with his twisted ways began tugging on his hair and breathing heavily. He used his good arm and motioned for someone to come out from the back.
Out came former FCW stars Sheamus and Wade Barett. Both men came out and began to brutally attack Hunter since Edge couldn't due to his arm injury. He directed both men to stand H to his feet while he grabbed a chair from under the ring. He slid back in and held the chair in the air signaling what was about come.
The lights then all of a sudden flickered and a familiar chime was heard throughout the arena causing the fans to jeer heavily. Michael Cole went up to the podium and put on his reading glasses.
''I have a message from the RAW GM! And I quote, ''Edge, I understand you're angry about the injury Triple H has caused you but attacking him is not the way to go. Next Monday it will be a handicap match featuring Wade Barrett, Sheamus, and Edge vs HHH to resolve this issue.''
''Now, Michael, the GM must not know that I am in no condition to compete! I have on an arm sling!'' Edge cried.
''Sorry, Edge, but rules are rules. To make up for your injury if Triple H does lay a hand on you he is suspended indefinitely.''
''What?'' Hunter exlaimed, holding his limp body.
''You heard the GM, rules are rules. Let's go, gentleman.'' Edge said and dropped the mic leaving H in the ring to barely stand up.
Hunter pointed his finger at Edge as he just gave a smirk to close RAW.
Adam walked backstage after the show was over and removed the arm sling that he was sporting earlier as he made his way to his dressing room. He was thankful that Steph gave him his own due to his injury. He just wanted to be alone right now, especially after seeing what he saw earlier tonight.
He heard a chime come from his bag and looked inside for his cell phone. He grabbed the cell phone and discovered he had a new text message from Trish.
''Saw you out there tonight. Even though you didn't compete you still did great. Going out with the girls for dinner after the show. Tor's going to give me a ride there and back. Don't wait up for me. Love you tons-Trish.''
''Love you too.'' Adam said even though he knew she didn't mean it the way he did.
He put the cellular device back in his bag and gathered all of his things and headed out the door. Adam said his goodbyes to just about everyone and left out of the arena. He unlocked his rental and threw his bag inside of the car and drove back to the hotel.
Adam pulled his keycard out of his backpocket and put it inside the slot. The slot flashed green and he went inside.
He threw his bag on the couch and laid down in bed. He didn't want to do anything at the moment besides stare up at the ceiling.
Later that night Trish came in through the door. Adam was sitting on the bed watching a movie when she came inside.
''Hey!'' She said with her usual bright smile.
''Hey. How was dinner with the girls?'' he asked as he turned off the tv.
''Good, but I'd had rather been with someone else tonight.'' She said hinting towards him as she took a seat on the bed.
''You sure about that?'' he said seriously as he looked in her eyes.
''Of course I'm sure. What's that supposed to mean, Adam?''
''Like you don't know. Isn't it obvious who you'd rather be with right now? Chris, I'm sure.''
''I was afraid you were going to end up seeing that.'' Trish said quietly.
Adam scoffed, ''So guys really are back together. I guess you don't need me around anymore.'' he said getting out of bed and standing to his feet.
''There is no us, Adam. He kissed me, and if you don't believe me, ask Torrie. She knows what happened.''
Adam sighed. ''I'm sorry, Trish. I just didn't want it to be true. You deserve so much better than him.''
''Do I? I mean, no guy is going to keep up with me on the road. They'll leave me before I know it.''
''Of course you do! You're everything a man could dream of. You're beautiful, you're smart, and most of all you're you.'' Adam said softly as he looked at her.
''That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me,'' She then sighed. ''but no man is going to keep up with me on the road.''
''If they love and trust you enough then they will.''
''You don't even trust me, Adam, what makes you think they will?''
''That's not true. I just have doubt in my mind...thinking you'll go back to Chris. I'm sorry, but I do. I care about you, Trish, and I don't want history to repeat itself.''
''It hasn't yet, has it? And why do you care so much, Adam about who hurts me or not?''
''I just told you.'' he said quietly.
''You only told me half. What's the other reason?''
Adam sighed and closed his eyes. He turned his back to Trish.
''And because I love you.''
Trish smiled, ''I love you too, Adam, but-oh.''
Adam turned around, tears in his eyes. ''I'm sure none of that even matters, Trish because you still love, Chris.'' He said and turned back around.
Trish stood up from the bed and walked over to Adam, still facing his back.
''How can you be so sure?''
He once again turned his body back to the woman he loved. ''What?''
Trish sighed, ''I have for awhile now. I kept denying it, but now I feel like I can no longer do that.''
''How long have you felt this way?'' Adam asked.
''Since I was back in Tampa with Chris. There was no place I wanted to be at that moment but in your arms. I felt this way about you when I first came to the WWE also, but those feelings stopped when I got with Chris. I was only with him because he was the closest thing to you, but now they're back and full force, and I don't want to deny them ever again.'' Trish said, her voice shaky.
''Me either.'' he said stepping closer to her in a whisper, their lips inches apart.
She inhaled his familiar scent as he caressed her cheek. He bent his head down and with that he softly kissed her lips. For the first time in a long time it was a kiss that she wanted. And for the first time in a long time he felt like he was actually with the one. She was the one.
