Chapter 26
-Adam's POV
It had been two weeks since my last encounter with Mandy. Truthfully, I had been avoiding her. I kept playing her words over and over again in my head and they really scared me. Honestly, I didn't know if I was ready to be in love again. My mother had asked me if I loved her when she first met her and I told her that I did mainly to get her to drop the subject. Besides, if she loved me so much than why did she leave? But that's how it always seemed to go, the moment I get exactly what I want, they walk out. Even the way she had left me there strangely reminded me of how my wife had left, kissing me one last time and pausing just before she left the room to look back as if wandering if she was making the right decision. I knew that Mandy was only leaving for the day and that I would at least see her again, but it brought up some old feelings that hurt. I had just finished a match against Matt in Albany when I saw Mandy across the room. She was getting a bottle of water. She looked gorgeous in a new wrestling catsuit and her hair pulled back. She looked up and made eye contact with me and then approached.
"I haven't seen you around in a while," She started, "What's with that?" I looked into her eyes and could tell that she was hurt.
"I don't know what you're talking about?" I replied drying the sweat from my face and neck with a towel.
"Don't fuck with me. You won't even return my phone calls," she spat. Now I knew I was in trouble. I had never heard her swear like that before.
"I've been busy," I started to turn away but she grabbed my arm to stop me, "Okay, look Mandy, if you want the truth, I got really freaked out okay." There I said it. Happy now?
"You got freaked out?" she mocked me. I shook my head.
"You tell me you love me and then you leave. It was like reliving my wife walking out on me," I defended. She put her hand on her hip and stared straight into my eyes with fury.
"I left to get on an airplane to travel to the next show and you compare that to your wife leaving you? Are you insane? You have serious mental issues," She announced.
"Maybe I'm just freaked out by the fact that you love me and I don't love you," I shot back. She took a step back as I realized what I had just said to her. I looked around and noticed that just about everyone in the lobby was watching us.
"That's real nice Adam. Thanks for telling me that AFTER you slept with me," she stated before storming off to her locker room. I was left standing there, cursing myself for just ruining everything I had been working for. As I turned around and rubbed my face with my hand I noticed that most everyone had gone back to doing whatever it was they were doing before our little fight.
"Dude, you had sex with her?" Matt asked in awe. I nodded still hating myself. Matt had seriously been pissed at me for awhile because he thought that I was spending more time with Mandy than I was with my "real friends" even though he was always quick to tell me how hot he thought she was. "Man, you lucky bastard. It'll be okay. We can party tonight, that will take your mind off of her." I started walking back to my locker room but Danny stopped me. Amy had been watching her during my match and she had brought her to the lobby to meet me since I had beaten Matt. Amy didn't like Mandy at all. Every time someone so much as mentioned the name Mandy, Amy would immediately scowl. It must have been a dominant female thing. I was really worried about how long Danny had been standing there and how much she had seen but it didn't take me long to see that the sadness in her eyes and the confusion she was in meant she had seen most of it, if not all of it. She walked over to me slowly while glancing over in the direction that Mandy retreated to. I picked her up and hugged her.
"Daddy, what just happened?" she asked teary eyed.
"I just screwed up really badly," I replied.
