A/N: Guess Whose Back? Sorry that's totally Eminem talking right now and not me. I am back though and I'm going to do yet another chapter in this on going saga, but first! I wanted to let you all know for those of you that are hooked right in my DOOL/WWE tale, that I will be updating that tomorrow. I just wrote about three chapter's offline again, and I've been doing some real life digging on our favorite stars. So look for that sometime tomorrow, but for now how about we just get to the whole Zach thing right? We got rid of Randy the rapist, so who shall enter this tale now? And Will Hayley gives in and let herself be loved by Zach, all of this and more in the next installment of Lipstick and Bruises.
******************
"What can I do for you Zach?" Jim asked as Zach entered his hotel room and took a seat on the chair in front of the mini bar.
"I need to ask you for a job."
"Don't you already have one of those son?"
"It's not for me, and it's not in the ring."
"Okay son, you've got my attention. You want to tell me why you are here now asking for a job for someone?"
"There's this girl I met-
"So this has to do with a girl?"
"Jim just hear me out alright? I met this girl and she is the girl that's doing the article for her school paper. You know the school I have to speak at tomorrow? Well she's an awesome writer and if there is anything available I would like you to consider seeing her for an interview and maybe you can hire her."
"Has this girl done anything besides her school paper?"
"I don't know Jim."
"Okay hang on a second here. You are supposed to be speaking at a High School tomorrow are you not? So this girl goes to high school? Zach you need to lay off this girl and you need to do it now. She's way too young."
"Jim I didn't come here asking to speak to my father. What I needed was to find out if you had any available positions that needed immediate filling. I know lately the writing has been shit, and I think that you should really see this girl about a job. She's been so professional when she's with me."
"I'm not trying to be your father Zach; I just want to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into and what this could do if it all backfires in your face. Do you realize we have been hit with rape allegations before?"
"JESUS Jim, I haven't laid a damn hand on her. I like her, I will admit that, but she's legal and she's smart enough to know what she wants and what's good for her. I'm only here asking for a job."
"Does she know you're here asking for a job on her behalf Zach?"
"No. We finished the interview earlier and now there is a chance I wont see her ever again. So she has no idea whatsoever that I'm doing this and well I don't want her to know if you do decide to hire her that it was me that brought it up. I just think in the long run we can use her."
"Any wrestling background at all?"
"No, not one ounce."
"Then Zach, I'm sorry but it doesn't look like I want to see her at all. We have to have people in this business who know the sport and the entertainment side and that want to make things better around here. We have enough college grads out in the office writing shit that they think we can sell. I don't want to hear any more about this alright?"
"You don't know what you're missing out on here Jim, but yeah I get it, and you won't hear another word from me. Thanks for seeing me this late. Sorry for the intrusion."
As Zach left the hotel room feeling rejected and hopeless, he went back to his room and sat down on the bed. He had to do something to make sure that if Hayley did take a chance on them, they wouldn't be split apart, and the job was his last hope. If he couldn't do this for her and make her see how well they would fit together, life just wouldn't be worth living the same anymore.
******************
Turning the television down, I heard my mom screaming up from the bottom of the stairs to come down. There was someone here to see me, and he might not have long to wait. Thinking it might be Zach, I ran as fast as I could down the stairs and when I reached the bottom to catch my breath who I saw standing there shocked me. I never expected to see him ever again.
"Mike, what can I do for you?"
"We need to talk; do you think we could go down to your basement?"
"Yeah sure why not. Mom if you need me or if someone calls, I will be downstairs with Mike alright?"
I saw the look my mother threw in my direction. It was one of pure hatred. She hadn't liked Mike to begin with and when she had found out that he not only cheated on me, but he was sleeping around since the start, well my mother just lost it. So right now I could totally understand why she was so upset and giving Mike and I the look of death.
"Sure honey, just be careful."
We made our way down the stairs and when we got to the bottom, Mike came up right in my face and tried to kiss me. I pushed him backwards, with him falling on a couple of paint cans that my dad had left over from the kitchen painting a few months before. I didn't know what Mike's game was, but it was about time I found out.
"What the hell has gotten into you?"
"I miss you Hayley, didn't we have good times together?"
"Not that I can recall, but that still doesn't answer my question good enough. You said you wanted to talk, so talk already and get the hell out of here. We broke up for a reason, and until now you haven't seen fit to talk to me about us, so why start now?"
"There's this silly rumor going around school, and I mean I knew it wasn't true because you are like the freaking ice princess, but I heard that you met with Randy Orton and you guys had sex in his car."
"Where did you hear this?"
"Are you sitting here telling me you would lay that asshole but not your own boyfriend?"
"Shut up Mike and just tell me who the hell told you this?"
"Michelle told me, and apparently Ariel told her."
"Ariel wouldn't do something like that to me, not to mention that it is all a bunch of lies."
"So you never went out with Randy Orton of the WWE?"
"Yes I went out with him, but going out and getting a story and sleeping with him are two entirely different things. Now that you've told me and you've come here and made an even bigger ass of yourself, I want you to leave."
He opened his mouth to protest what I was saying to him but he didn't stand a chance. Not only was I hurt that this thing about Randy was now starting to get around to the school, but that my best friend could have been the one behind it was enough to make me wanna be sick to my stomach. I had to get him out of this house and then I had to get to the bottom of it, and I had to do it fast before it got any worse and I was pregnant or something.
*******************
It was pouring rain when I got into the cab to make my way to the hotel. I had tried to talk to Ariel and it seemed she didn't want to take my calls for some reason. I knew the reason and I knew that something was seriously wrong with everyone around me, and the only person that seemed normal was the one man I didn't want to get into anything with. But here I was sitting in the cab on the way to the hotel, and I found that I couldn't wait to see him again. He had been through so much in his life and people not really treating him the way he deserved, so I knew that he would know what I felt like right at that moment.
Stepping out of the car I made my way into the hotel. I knew I looked like shit, and I knew that people were staring at me, but at that moment in time it didn't bother me anymore. I was there for one reason and one reason only and that was to see someone that I knew would totally get me without asking one thing of me.
I got into the elevator and looking around the lobby one last time I saw something as the door was about to shut. Grabbing the door between my two hands I opened it and hopped back out. Making my way over to the other side of the lobby, dripping water as I went, I got close enough to them and coughed loudly. Ariel turned around, and with a huge laugh put her arms around me in a huge fake hug. I could smell the beer coming off her but at that moment I didn't care. This was the girl that was supposed to be my best friend and now here she was with Brock, another one of the people that just assumed I had come onto Randy, and they were acting stupid and like nothing was the matter. It was all I could do not to smack the two of them together to smarten them up.
"I missed you so much girly. Did you finally finish the interview with our boy Zachy?"
"Ariel shut up and come with me now."
"I'm not going anywhere with you. You know as your best friend the least you could have done was tell me what you and Randy were really doing in that car; I mean you didn't tell me anything. But you seem content enough to keep coming here to see him don't you?"
"I'm not here to see Randy you stupid twit. If you knew anything about me and if you weren't so damn wasted right now and entranced by anything that walks by with a dick between its legs you would know me, and know that I don't do that sort of thing with anyone."
"You have no right to say that shit to me Hayley, you ice princess."
"That's funny, that's the same thing Randy called me earlier this morning. Seems like you have a new friend to replace me with Ariel. I hope you're happy. You damn well know I don't drink and you know he drugged me, but because your new toy is friends with him, it's automatic that I'm not telling the truth. Well I didn't come here to fight with you. I came over to tell you that you're forgotten to me, and when they fuck you over, don't come back looking for me to be friends with again. It's done and it's over. Just don't take it out on the school next time."
*********************
As I stepped onto Zach's floor I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to get all the wetness out before I hit his door. I didn't want to look like a drowned rat when he opened his door. I knew I had to look pretty bad, with the tears that I had managed to let fall in the elevator on the way up to his floor. Now standing in front of his door, I didn't know what I was going to do; I just knew I had to do something.
Zach opened the door and my eyes nearly came out of my head. He was there in a pair of pajama bottoms and no shirt and he just looked so comfortable. I knew I had made the right decision coming to his room.
"Hayley, my God what happened to you?"
Before I could say a word and before he could allow me to come in, I jumped at him, and put my lips to his, just wanting to taste him and be with him and not have to worry about any of this other shit that had happened in the last week since he had come to town. I didn't want to care about my parents at home, I didn't want to care about Ariel, and I for damn sure didn't want to have to think about what a good girl I was and being called an ice princess. All I wanted at that moment was Zach, and Zach was what I was damn well going to have. We continued to kiss all the way back into the room, and I kicked the door shut with my feet. I didn't know where this was going to go, but I was ready for anything.
