Chapter 22
"Well, I enjoyed today a lot," Mercedes said as she and Colby were on their home a few hours later.
"Me too," Colby replied. "I loved seeing that fire of Sasha Banks again!"
"Thanks for it, baby."
"Paul and Steph saw the videos."
"What did they think?" Mercedes asking, looking over at her fiancé.
Colby smiled. He looked at her. "They loved them. Paul especially did."
"Great."
"I told him that I want to get you back in the ring and on the road again!"
Mercedes's smile brightened.
"I know it has only been one day, but…"
"…Then we'll have more. I want back in the ring. You want me back in the ring. Paul and Stephanie want me back in the ring. The WWE Universe wants me back in the ring. The goal is officially there. I can do my part of getting there. And with today I have. Let's make a plan with Paul and Stephanie. It's September so let's say January right around Royal Rumble. Maybe sooner."
"That's an excellent plan and goal," Colby replied. "We'll talk to Paul and Steph and we'll all figure things out. Plus, we can figure out what to do with Evelyn."
"If you are willing to make the purchase for the bus and all of it with it, we can find a nanny or whatever for her."
"Fuck yeah, babe!"
Mercedes smiled. "Great. But there is something I want to do."
"What's that?"
"I want to do an update to the fans and the world about how I am a year later with everything."
Colby nodded his head.
"Mostly everyone knows bits and bits of what went on in the last eleven months. But it will be me talking about how I turned a negative into a positive, and just trying to move on and get through the emotions. It's a plus for survivors."
"You do whatever you want, baby! I support you on whatever you do!"
"Yes, I want to talk to Stephanie and Paul. I want to do an interview with Michael Cole again. And I want you to be beside me when I do it!"
Mercedes smiled, looking at her fiancé. "I would love to!" Colby replied.
Mercedes grinned. She leaned over toward him and kissed him on the cheek.
