I let out a happy sigh, as I twirl in front of the mirror with Carmella looking at me. My body once covered in sweats with my hair in a messy bun, is now adorned in a burgundy skater dress that has a lace overlay and cut out shoulders. I'm given extra inches due to a pair of plain white pumps.

A silver chain with a key attached to it sits on my neck, and Mella did my make-up. She settled with a simple eye look, and a dusty pink lip color. While Mella had done my make-up, Sasha did my hair, curling it softly. She left shortly after, having a date of her own.

"Mella, y'all did amazing," I say with a laugh. She laughs a little too. "No, I mean it. This… is amazing. I'm in love with this."

She gets off the bed and stands behind me, fixing my hair a little. "You look fabulous, girl! Finn is one lucky guy."

I turn and look at her, my smile dropping some. "I still can't believe he asked me out."

"So why do you look so bummed?" I sigh at her question. "Don't tell me you're still holding onto that asshole."


Finn's Point Of View(Shocker)

I stop short of the door upon hearing Carmella. Tonight was the night I finally take Jasmine out. I wanted to since I first met her, but Elias beat me to it.

"I don't know," I hear Jasmine say. "He really hurt me, yeah, but…" Silence falls in the room for a bit.

"But, he was the first person who made you feel okay. I know what happened, you told me." That confused me a bit. What was the lass talking about?

"But Finn is so sweet." I couldn't help but smile. "Y'know? He's great. He's just…" I hear a laugh. "I'm so happy he asked me out."

"Just, don't think about that asshole anymore, but at the very least don't think about him tonight. Don't let him ruin your night."


Jasmine's Point Of View

I smile as I hug Mella, thankful for having her by my side. A knock sounds at the door. I walk over quickly, in love with the sound of my heels clicking on the floor. I open it and see Finn, causing my smile to widen.

"Hi love," I greet him softly.

"Jasmine, you look…" his voice trails off as his eyes roam up and down my body. "Wow. You look wow." I chuckle as I take his hand he offers. "I promise I won't have her out too late, Carmella."

I look over at her in time to see her roll her eyes. "Good, girls need our beauty sleep. But you guys go have fun, be safe."

We walk out the room and I shut the door gently behind me. He locks his fingers between mine and stops me before I can start walking to the elevator. Finn presses a small kiss on my cheek.

"You really do look great, lass." I smile as we start making our way to the elevator. He presses the call button. "I'm one lucky fella."

I laugh lightly. "You're too kind, dear. And for the record, you look equally amazing." The elevator opens, and we step into the nearly empty cart; only Seth and two others who I didn't look at long enough to recognize. I look up to Finn. "Are you finally going to tell me where we're going?"

Finn chuckles as he gently pulls me to stand in front of him. "'Fraid not love. It'd ruin the surprise."

I let out a groan of frustration, causing Finn to chuckle again as he pulls me to him in a sweet hug. I look up at him. "You suck."

That mischievous gleam shines in his eyes before he places a soft kiss on my lips. "You're going to love it." The elevator dings again and we make our way out, and to the car. He pulls out a blindfold. "Ya gotta do it, lass."

I groan again as I let him put the blindfold on. He helps me into the car and buckles me up. A bit later, he gets in and starts the car. After a little bit of driving, I sigh.

"I hate-"

"Surprises, I know lass. But ya also told me ya don' mind it long as it's food." He chuckles a bit before he rests one of his hands on my thigh.

I groan, making him chuckle even more. The rest of the ride passes in silence, but it's a comfortable silence. The car turns off.

"Just a sec, lass." A car door opens, causing the car to ding. I presume he's gotten out as I hear a door shut. A few seconds later my door opens and I feel his arm as he unbuckles me. "Alright, we have to walk a bit. I'll guide ya, but the blindfold stays on love."

I groan as he helps me out the car, shutting my door. He steps to my side, wrapping an arm around my waist. After a bit of walking, our atmosphere changes. I can hear city sounds, people bustling around busily. We stop short, and I hear cars passing by as some honk. Finn starts guiding me again, more so in a rushed manner. We stop again and his arm disappears.

The mask is removed and I'm met with a red brick wall that's encasing a white stone arch. Within the arch, two wooden doors sit, as well as a window. I gasp softly. "This is beautiful."

Finn chuckles. "Wait till you see the inside." He walks forward, and opens the door to hold it open for me. I couldn't help the giggle that escapes as I walk through, him quickly following behind me and placing a hand on the small of my back.

He clears everything up with the maître d' and we are soon guided to a tale that sits near a fireplace and window. The round tables are decorated with a long white draping tablecloth, and circled with four chairs. The floors are a dark hardwood and the walls are a neutral light brown, decorated with different things.

Finn pulls my chair out, and gently pushes me in after I sit. He takes his own seat. We tell the waiter what we want to drink before we start looking through the menu. "So, does this make-up for me making it a surprise?"

I laugh. "This time it does Finny," I say as I keep searching through the menu.

"Told ya so, love."


We've finished eating, and are now just quietly chattering at the table. He's currently asking me about my time in NXT.

"So why'd it seem like you were new when you came up? You already had met most people."

I take a sip of my water before answering. "It had been so long. I lost touch with everyone, except Seth." I nod a bit. "But it was great meeting back up with people. Bayley and I were pretty close in our NXT days. After some shows, she would take me out to either a desert bar or 24 hour diners. We rode together a lot, roomed together. Back in NXT, Bayley was my best friend."

"I think I might remember the lass talking about it before," Finn adds in softly.

I smile at that. "But, yeah. It's weird being here now though."

"Do you really think you're going to leave, love?"

I shrug before I look over to him across the table. "I don't know. I want to leave but I don't want to give up the people."

"So stay." I look away shaking my head. "Lass, before ya left it was obvious how bein' in the ring made ya feel." I look back to him, seeing him shaking his head. "Ya don' want to admit it, but ya still feel a bit of a buzz."

"That's insane," I say softly. His eyes meet mine and he raises an eyebrow.

A waiter comes back, cutting off the conversation. This wouldn't be the end of our conversation, I was sure.


"Well, is he right?" I look to Carmella as she sits on her bed. As soon as Finn dropped me off at my door with a goodnight kiss, I came in and started gushing to Carmella.

I groan as I fall back on my own bed. "No." I peek at her, seeing her raise an eyebrow, just as Finn did. I sit up. "Why do you think that?"

"Cause… wrestling is all you talk about since you came back." I sigh as I sit up fully and look over at her. "I mean, you always have a smile on your face when you're in the ring. Everytime you win, the way you pump up the crowd… You're a heel, but everyone loves you."

Silence falls on us as I lay back on my bed. To an extent, I could see where Mella was coming from. I watch playbacks of my matches from time to time. I do look like I'm at home in the ring. I look like I'm at peace.

Thing is, I'm really not at peace. I'm so tired, and I'm always tired. I just want to be able to breathe for a little bit. Yes, I hated being away for six months. Yes, I hated being alone. Yes, I went off the deep end for a whole month. But, I was finally able to feel like I was me.

That's the only thing I hate about this company. I don't feel free to be who I am. I don't feel free to try to figure that out either. I feel stuck, like… I actually don't know how to describe how stuck I feel. I haven't wanted out of a situation this bad since college.

I sigh as I turn over in the bed, now looking at the wall. Maybe it's just because I'm heartbroken, sure. But what if once I'm one hundred percent over this, I still feel this way? That ring is my home. These people, both the other superstars and the WWE universe, are my family. I'll be lost if I walk away for good.

But… maybe it's for the best if I walk away… right?
