Once again it was late when Robbyn arrived home, only this time her and
Zach walked. They had talked all day, she had heard more stories about life
on the road, stories which were beginning to make Robbyn crave more then
she already had.
"Would it sound clique if I said I had a great time?" Zach asked as they stopped outside the front door.
"No, I think you're alright." She replied burying her hands in her pockets.
"We've got a show in town next week." Zach told her. "I'd like it if you could come, I could show you around backstage. I could even get your friend Holly a ticket."
"Don't do that. She'll get so excited she'll explode."
"What about you?"
"Yeah, I'll come, that way when I'm 70 and living with twenty cats I can re tell the story of how I met a bunch of wrestlers."
He smiled. "Great, I'll come over next week."
They where left with that awkward period then, the situation that Robbyn had found herself in last time. How to say goodnight. She was worried if she tried to kiss him he wouldn't want it and she would of ruined a perfectly date. Zach seemed to be stuck in the same dilemma.
"Well, I'll see you next week." he said suddenly.
She nodded. "Next week."
She had to do something or she was going to end up looking stupid anyway. But before she could lean forward the door opened behind her.
"What are you standing out here for?" Mr. Moore demanded."Come inside, it's getting cold."
Robbyn could of screamed, instead she gave Zach an apologetic smile said goodnight and went inside shutting the door behind her. As soon as she did she smacked her forehead. "Stupid, stupid, stupid." she hissed, she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show up next week. She had just taken off her coat when the doorbell rang.
"Get the door." Her father shouted.
It was Zach and Robbyn didn't even have a chance to say anything before he kissed her. Her heart was pounding and it seemed to last two seconds before he had pulled away.
"Goodnight Robbyn." he said with a smile before turning away and heading back down the path. All she could do was stand in the doorway, not hearing her father's calls.
Backstage on Tuesday Robbyn felt like an outsider. Even though Zach held her hand and introduced her to everyone she still felt out of place, especially compared to the divas. Torrie was nice enough, but she made Robbyn feel bad especially with her grubby cast and the reminisce of a bruise on her face. The only thing that made her feel better was being there with Zach, who explained about every piece of equipment and showed her around the stands. Robbyn couldn't understand how he could go out in front of thousands of people, just looking up at all the empty seats sent chills up her spine. She watched as Zach taped backstage segments, but couldn't eat anything in the cafeteria. She was beginning to wish she had brought Holly along. After they'd eaten Zach had to do more backstage segments and that was when Stephanie came in. She smiled at Zach as soon as she saw him, flicked her hair over her shoulder as the spoke and seemed to always be putting a hand on her shoulder or touching his arm. Robbyn put it down to her over active imagination as the taping began and they both got into character. Even if Stephanie had been flirting with Zach, he wasn't Robbyn's property, she couldn't stop it. When it was over Zach went back to Robbyn to tell her where her seat was when Stephanie came up behind him.
"Good work." she said with her hands on her hips. "Remember to talk to Matt about the last part of the show."
Her eyes then fell on Robbyn, she looked her up and down then turned back to Zach.
"A friend of yours?" she asked.
"This is Robbyn, we met two weeks ago. "
"Oh, how did you meet?"
Stephanie had turned back to Robbyn, who was wondering if she was invisible or not and therefore Stephanie couldn't speak to her directly.
"I crashed my car." Robbyn cut in, stepping forward to face Stephanie directly. "Actually it was my brothers car. Zach dragged me out."
"Lucky he was around." she replied, raising an eyebrow. "I have to go." she put her hand over Zach's. "Come find me before the show starts, so we can go over the final details."
She left the room, Zach hadn't sensed the obvious tension between them, something Robbyn didn't understand. They had only just met. Zach took Robbyn's hand.
"Come on, I can get you a free T-shirt before the show starts."
*I know this isn't as good as the other Zach Gowen fic, but I'm trying. I have a vague idea where the Stephanie thing is going to go. Thanks again to Ellectra, my only reviewer, sob. Come on, make me feel better. Review! Only messing
