"What's on your agenda today, pretty girl?" Colby asked from where he laid on their bed in the hotel room and she shrugged from where she was brushing out her hair in the bathroom.

"Nattie wanted to go shopping at noon."

"Are you going?" Isabelle couldn't see the disappointed look on her boyfriend's face, but he was looking pretty disappointed. He wanted to spend as much time with her as he could before she had to leave him on Sunday night.

"Yeah. I think the twins are going, too, and we might grab lunch."

"Oh. That's cool." Colby mumbled as Isabelle left the bathroom and she made her way to sit on the bed.

"You don't sound like it's all that cool."

"I was hoping to spend some time with you, Isabelle. I mean, I am your boyfriend."

"Yeah, and they're my friends. I was with you all weekend except for when we were working." Isabelle argued and Colby sighed exasperatedly. "What's your problem?"

"I didn't realize that you're tired of being with me. All you had to do was say so." Isabelle's eyes widened in shock. He seriously couldn't be thinking that was the case.

"You're being ridiculous, Colby. I could never be tired of being with you."

"You're acting like it."

"Because I want to hang around other women for a couple hours?" She asked as Colby got up and headed for the door. "Where are you going?"

"To the gym." Was all he said before shutting the door and Isabelle threw herself back on the bed. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself before she pulled out her phone and called Nattie.

"Hey Izzy." Nattie sounded really happy to hear form Isabelle, and that's what she needed.

"Are you busy right now?"

"Nope. What's wrong?"

"Can you come to my room? Just you, and don't tell anyone."

"What's your room number? I'll be there in about five minutes."

"604." Was all Isabelle mumbled before she hung up and continued to breathe as she stared up at the ceiling. Nattie was a good source of positive energy, and that's what Isabelle needed. Positive energy and a listening ear.


"Are we clubbing tonight?" Nikki asked from where she stood beside Isabelle, who was looking at different dresses with the twins and Nattie.

"You tell me. I'm game for anything." Isabelle was still more than upset about what Colby said, so she really was game for anything. She just didn't understand the sudden change in attitude and it bothered her.

"Let's just have a girls night out. I'm sure Trinity and Ariane would be in, too." Nattie suggested and Isabelle but her lip. She wasn't sure about drinking without a guy she trusted nearby to keep her out of trouble.

"No guys?" Isabelle asked and everyone nodded.

"It wouldn't be a girls night if we brought the guys." Brie stated as she pulled a red dress off the rack. "You should try this one on, Izzy."

Isabelle took the dress from Brie with a smile and headed into the nearby dressing room as her phone vibrated in her pocket. It was a text from Colby, something that made her bite her lip as she shimmied out of her jeans. Her phone continued to vibrate but she continued to ignore it, because ignoring him until he was frantic was the only way that she knew how to put him in his place. A bit pathetic, she was aware, but she was dating a professional wrestler. She was pretty sure that even if she hit him as hard as she could, it wouldn't affect him much.

"Izzy, we want to see it on you!" Nikki called and Isabelle nodded as she stepped into the dress, although her friends couldn't see it. She turned off her phone and stepped out of the dressing room.

"Your hair is getting so long, Isabelle." Nattie observed as Isabelle pulled her hair over her shoulder and the college student nodded.

"I was thinking about taking a few inches off, but Colby likes it long like this."

"Is he a hair puller?" Nikki asked and Isabelle shrugged.

"I don't know. He likes playing with it, though."

"Your hair is going to be down to your ass by next month at the rate it's growing." Nattie stated and Isabelle shrugged.

"I'm probably going to get it cut soon. Not too short, but I don't want to be mistaken for a brunette Repunzel."

"Maybe we could do that before we head back to the hotel." Brie suggested and Isabelle shrugged as she tested the way the dress flowed. "You look really good in that. Red is so your color."

"Kind of gives off that whole 'innocent Izzy' vibe, even though you're not that innocent anymore." Nikki teased and Isabelle rolled her eyes.

"I feel like Annie without the curly red hair." Isabelle mumbled and her friends laughed.

"We could totally curl your hair in big barrel curls and- this is what you're wearing to the show tonight." Nikki decided and Isabelle's eyes widened.

"It's really easier for me to work in jeans, you know?"

"We'll walk around with you so you're not the only hot girl in a dress." Brie assured and Isabelle sighed in defeat.

"You're not letting this go, huh?"

"Nope. Let's get your hair done." Nattie instructed and Isabelle nodded. "Go get changed. I'll pay for your dress."


Isabelle hadn't looked at her phone at all and was doing a really good job of ignoring Colby while she walked around the arena with Nikki and Brie. Neither had a match tonight and they didn't know about her avoiding Colby. Isabelle and Nattie had firmly decided to keep what had happened between them, and Isabelle was game to go clubbing because she needed time away from Colby so he could think about his attitude and she could think about what she was going to say to him when she finally decided that she wanted to talk to him.

"There's that club down the street from the hotel." Nikki suggested, looking down at her phone, and Isabelle nodded. "It's close to our supermen should we need them and it has good yelp reviews."

"That's good with me." Isabelle commented, stopping to get a couple pictures of Jon, Joe, and Colby in a huddle before rushing down the hall.

"Why are you rushing?" Brie asked and Isabelle looked at her in confusion.

"I wasn't rushing."

"Yes you were." Nikki stated, her tone telling Isabelle that they weren't budging from their opinion.

"I didn't want Colby to see my hair. I'm afraid that he won't like it." Isabelle lied, knowing that Colby most likely wouldn't notice her hair being a couple inches shorter, especially when it was curled like it was. She just wanted to keep up the illusion that everything was fine.
