Chapter 26
"Great match out there tonight, Colby," Bobby said as he and Colby were backstage after Raw now.
"Thanks," Colby said.
"I look forward to more of our storyline next week."
"Me too."
Bobby shook his hand. "Welcome back by the way."
"Thanks," Colby replied.
Mercedes smiled as she stood waiting for her fiancé.
"Hey Mercedes," Bobby said.
"Hi," Mercedes said. "Great match."
"Thanks. You two have a good night if I don't see you and a safe drive."
"Thanks," Colby shouted.
Mercedes grinned as she looked to her fiancé.
"Hey you," He said.
"Hi," Mercedes smiled. Colby leaned forward and kissed her. "You looked great out there. Couldn't tell you were away from a few months."
"I might have been off of WWE TV, but I was still working in the ring."
"Very true," Mercedes said. "But you know what?"
"What?" Colby asked.
Mercedes grinned. "I was a little turned on by you being back in that ring!"
"Well, you know the day I recorded those videos of you and sent them to Paul and everyone I got really turned on by you. A part of the woman I fell in love with resurfaced. She recovered."
"Damn right she did," Mercedes said. "But it was a little hard with some stuff."
"I know," Colby said, wrapping his arms around her. "I know." He kissed her head.
"Am I really selfish?" Mercedes asked with tears.
"No. Not at all, baby," Colby said. He quickly pulled away. "You want to be here. You want back in the WWE. That's not selfish. Evelyn is coming on the road with us. We have the bus and its getting a few adjustments to it. And we're looking for nannies or whoever to look after Evelyn while we work.
"Parents do that! Paul and Stephanie did that! They did great with their girls. We'll do great with Evelyn. And if need be, both or one of us could take a night off to be with her. Maybe a little more. But don't think you are selfish for being here, Mercedes! Don't!"
Mercedes nodded her head.
"Now how about you come back to our locker room with me and take a shower with me?!"
Mercedes giggled. "I'd love to."
Colby chuckled.
