Torrie had reservations for a different hotel then Billy and Josh, so she told them good night and to go on that date of theirs.
Billy and Josh went back to their hotel room to change and get ready for their date. Josh stated that he wanted to pick the restaurant and Billy had no problem with it.
"It's going to be a fancy restaurant so I guess that we… umm dress better then the time at the fast- food joint," Josh mentioned.
"Alright," Billy replied, as he started rummaging through his clothes for something nice to wear.
Billy changed into dress pants, before putting on a light blue button long sleeve up dress shirt; leaving two buttons undone at the top of it. Last he slipped on some black dress shoes to go with it all. He tucked in his shirt and put on a belt and walked out of the bathroom to check to see if Josh was ready.
He was stunned when he saw him. Josh was wearing black dress pants, with a tucked in button-up white dress shirt, and on top of that, a black jacket; almost like a tuxedo. Unlike Billy, Josh only left one button undone at the top of his shirt but Billy was still amazed.
"Are you ready?" Josh said breaking the silence.
"Ah...Yeah...yeah I am. Let's go," Billy said back, still in a bit of a shock.
"Do you think I look too bad?" Josh questioned as he saw his crush's awkward shocked stare that was making him feel a bit weird and began to question his looks.
"N..no, in fact quite the opposite. You look great."
"Thanks, you look...oh what the hell you look hot!" Josh said, trying very hard not to blush and doing a good job of it really.
Flattered he replied, "Why thank you. Now where is it that you would like to go?" he asked.
"Oh, it's this Italian restaurant. I don't know how to say it, but I have been there before and I liked it," Josh said, with a smile tugging at his lips. He couldn't wait until they got there. It, undoubtedly, would be a great date.
"Well..." Billy said, a bit apprehensive. "...Okay, I guess you're driving since I can't even get the name of the place."
"What ever made you think that with me you'll get a chance to drive?" Josh said with a giggle as he pulled out the car keys from the pocket of his pants.
"Wow, now that I didn't see coming," Billy said, a little hurt as he looked down at his black dress shoes.
"Look, I just love to drive, one of the few pleasures I have. Maybe if you're good I'll let you drive next time," Josh said, hoping he made things better for his crush. He hated making him sad.
"Okay, I guess if you look at it that way." Billy not looking hurt any longer.
Josh smiled with relief.
The restaurant was near by and Billy and Josh were sitting at their table in fifteen minutes. Josh ordered a Fetachini Alfredo with a garden salad and a coke to drink. Billy ordered the Chicken Parmesan, no appetizer and ice tea to drink. Their drinks came as well as Josh's salad.
"So do you still have that crush on me?" Billy asked.
Josh swallowed his food first then began to answer. "Well...I...uh...think it's become more then that," he said taking another bite of his food hoping that Billy won't ask anymore questions. He didn't like the weird pressuring questions that he asked him. It was making him nervous. He didn't know why. Maybe it was just his first real crush?
"More then that?" he asked again.
Damn! Why did I say that he reprimanded himself silently. "Okay, spending all this time with you I think that I feel more for you then a simple crush," he said as he began to blush, this time not being able to hide it.
"Stop blushing. Look, I think I have been feeling stuff for you too okay," Billy admitted.
"Re...Really?"
"Yes. Now since that's all cleared up let's enjoy dinner and maybe when we get to the hotel we might do something," Billy said, in sexy tone at the end of the sentence along with a wink.
Josh didn't know what to say to that. Again, Billy had shocked him. Eventually their food came and they enjoyed each other's company. They talked for a bit while they ate, but Josh was really hungry so his mouth was full for most of the meal.
Once done with their meals they sat there for a few seconds then Josh spoke up.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked.
"No not yet," Billy looked around and spotted a waitress. He waved to get her attention.
"Waitress", he called out. Josh looked puzzled.
"Yes, what can I get you?" she asked kindly, smiling as she looked at them both.
"A piece of mud cake please and can you bring two forks?" he asked her.
"Sure, I'll be right back," She informed them and within minutes she returned with Billy's order. To both their surprise there was a heart shaped piece of chocolate on it.
"I'm a big fan of the WWE and I was kind of eavesdropping on you guys," she told them with a small blush.
"Well um, thanks," Billy said. "Would you like an autograph or anything?"
She pulled out a napkin and handed it to him. "Thanks, can I get a picture as well?" she asked.
"Sure."
She took out her camera phone and Billy smiled for her as she took the picture. He handed the napkin back to her when he was done.
"Thank you so much, enjoy," She said, then trotted of to do her work feeling extremely excited. It really brightened her day.
Billy snatched the chocolate before Josh could. He had a pout look on his face.
"Hey, you get to drive, I get this." Billy told him.
"Whatever," he said and began to eat the cake.
They both enjoyed it. They even fed each other a few times like a pair of true lovers or a married couple. It was really an enjoyable evening for the both of them. They paid the bill then left to go back to the hotel.
While they were walking towards their car Billy, being in a playful mood, thought that it might be fun to tease Josh and try to talk him into letting him drive on the way back. So, slowly and seductively, Billy wound his right arm around Josh's waist and placed his hand above the pocket seam of Josh's pants where the car keys were. Josh, feeling a bit drowsy after the dinner, moved closer into his date's embrace. Smirking at his ingenuity, Billy slid his fingers further into the pocket. He almost had them when Josh suddenly slid his hand into the pocket grabbing Billy's. Billy turned to look at Josh with the expression of being caught with his hand in the cookie jar, which wasn't far from the truth. Josh merely smirked. Busted.
"So, you thought that I'd let in and give you the driver's seat for the way back."
"Well ummm…. Well I didn't…." Billy stammered.
The couple had nearly reached their car. Josh turned towards Billy and said "Well Billy, just for the record, I might seem relaxed but I'm on the alert full time," Josh laughed at Billy.
As he was about to step off the sidewalk, his left foot slipped up in a small puddle of water. Josh, unbalanced, would have fallen if it weren't for the quick reflexes of Billy. Billy grabbed Josh by his front collar and hauled him back. But in this new position both men were pressed to each other from head to toe. "Always alert eh.. Josh". Instead of replying Josh just blushed, his face going beet red. Chuckling lightly Billy kissed his blushing date. Moaning into the kiss, Josh put his arms around Billy's neck moving even closer into his crush's embrace. Billy skillfully parted Josh's mouth with his tongue and plunged in to taste him; slowly retreating then plunging in deeper mimicking an ancient art of loving making. Josh was completely lost within the kiss. A few moments later Billy broke the kiss, nibbling lightly on Josh's lower lip, he slowly drew back a bit. Smirking wickedly at Josh's dreamy expression, he steered him back to the car. Josh was still spaced out when they got there.
"Josh," Billy said, giving Josh a light shake" Josh, hey man, snap out of it."
"Huhh, whah… what?"
Laughing, Billy just hugged Josh and said, "If only a kiss can do this to you, I can only imagine what you'll be like after the finale." Josh just blushed further at the meanings and moved towards the driver's side of the car. He put his hand into his pocket but he couldn't find the keys.
"Billy, where are… " He slowly trailed off when his looked up to Billy, where he was standing on the passenger side; his arms folded on the roof of the car; his right hand raised, slowly swinging the car keys, with a very smug expression on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Mathews, I can see how very alert you are."
Josh just smiled at his date's antics. "Ok, Ok, I give up, you drive."
Both men changed sides and got in the car. Sitting in the passenger's seat, Josh glanced at Billy and said, "I'll get you back for this Billy."
"Oh, I hope you do, I really hope you do, cuz' that way we'll be able to play a bit longer. I prefer to do my necking in private and without interruptions", Billy leered back. Josh just folded his arms over his chest and looked out of the side window, a slight smile on his lips, listening to the chuckles of his date. 'All is right with the world' he thought as they drove off.
On reaching their hotel, the couple separated to change into more relaxing clothes and get ready for the night. Once there they got into their sleeping clothes, which were basically a simple shirt and pants. 'Oh My God today was great. I just can't believe that he could feel for me like that.' Josh thought while brushing his teeth. 'Life's gonna be great.' He thought out, his imagination doing cartwheels in joy.
While Josh was busy in the restroom Billy was in the bedroom thinking about them. 'Deep breaths, man. Relax. Look, I know that you're still a bit shaken about London, but enough is enough. Besides that bastard got what he deserved. Give Josh a chance, he really seems smitten by you and if I'm reading the signs correctly, he'd rather die before hurting you. He does seem to be the emotionally sensitive kind of guy. He'll be faithful to you and would expect the same in return. Trust him and let him in. Hey you know the old saying "It's better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all". Best of luck', his conscience debated with him.
When he came out of the washroom, Josh saw Billy with a blank expression on his face staring aimlessly at the double bed in the room. 'Oh man, what is he thinking? I hope that he doesn't have any regrets about all of this', Josh thought nervously. Taking in a calming breath, Josh placed his right hand on Billy's left shoulder, "Billy", giving him a slight shake," Billy!", shaking him a bit harder.
"Huh… umm", Billy stammered after being shaken out of his reverie. Swallowing past a lump in his throat, Josh questioned an earlier comment from Billy
"So you mentioned about doing something back at the hotel. What did you have planned?", Josh asked with a smile on his face, but his tone had a underlying hint of nervousness and something else.
Billy just smiled at the slightly nervous tone in Josh's voice. 'Hmm, seems like I'm not the only one whose a bit apprehensive about all of this'
Instead of answering, he got into bed and motioned Josh to do the same. Josh simply sat down on the edge, his gaze roaming around the room, looking at everything except Billy. "Josh", Billy whispered. Swallowing past the lump in his throat, he looked up and met Billy's gaze. He simply held out his hand, palm up and motioned for Josh to come to him.
Holding Josh close, he could feel him trembling. "Josh, what's wrong?". At first he thought that he could lie and say nothing, but being a strong believer in the truth Josh gathered his courage and blurted. "I'm.. I'm ….. well I'm really nervous about all of this and I'm afraid that you may not……", he trailed off. Billy was quiet. 'Well there I've gone and blown everything', Josh thought miserably as he turned to get out of Billy's embrace. Feeling the stiffing of his body, Billy looked at Josh's expression. 'He's really easy to read'. Guessing the thoughts that brought such a miserable expression on his cute face, Billy tightened his arms around Josh's, his left hand moving up to cup his chin to turn Josh's face towards him.
"Josh, it's alright. If you're nervous about all of this then I'll tell you a little secret. I'm afraid as well. It's a bit difficult for me to trust anyone so soon but I really want to give this a shot. So whaddya say to going about all of this slow and steady?"
At Josh's smile Billy leaned in to kiss him; a kiss which lasted longer then the previous ones. When they pulled apart Josh had a dreamy expression and could say only one thing
"Wow!" he whispered.
He snuggled closer into the warmth of Billy's arms. He was positioned in a way that he was laying half a top Billy.
Billy got more comfortable under Josh. He pulled the covers over the lower half of their bodies. Placing a hand on Josh's nape, he pulled him up for another kiss. It was a deep passionate kiss. Their tongues were gently twined with each other; they were in heaven at that moment. Nothing could hurt them now, not at this point in time. They were deep into the kiss that lasted, what they thought was forever. When it ended, both sighed, a sense of loss of the paradise evident. "Get some sleep. We have lots to do, especially getting you into shape." Billy said, smiling. Josh smiled in return and laid his head his head on Billy's chest, his arms around him. He fell asleep listening to the soft sounds of the heartbeats of the man he was beginning to fall in love with. When he was sure that Josh was asleep, Billy buried his face into Josh's hair and whispered, "I promise to try, to make this good between us."
The nights went by and that's usually how their days ended, in a deep passionate kiss and then falling asleep in each others arms. Josh really liked cuddling up to Billy.
Billy loved putting his arms around Josh when he cuddled up to him. They loved waking up to one another, and waking up to watch the other sleep. They were really happy, and Billy was finally happy to be happy. Before they knew it, it was the day of the next show.
Chris Masters and Paul London are walking down the halls of the building hosting their next wrestling show. It had been one week since they lost to Billy Kidman and Josh Mathews and they had been very pissed since that day, despite trying to make it all better in bed. Paul had a match tonight, a handicap match verses Billy and Torrie. It was originally supposed to be Chris verses those two but Paul had other plans.
"Are you ready?" Paul asked.
"You know I'm ready," Chris said with some cockiness to it.
"Good, my match is next so get going," Paul told him and he left as Paul made his way to the ring.
"Okay, Josh just stay here while we go and wrap this match up", Billy told him.
"Yeah alright, don't worry, I'll be fine really just go," Josh said.
"Okay. Come on Torrie." With that Billy and Torrie left and Josh was alone.
Paul and Billy were locked up in the ring. Both fighters had each other in a head lock. Paul looked at Billy and smirked at the anger he saw in the other's gaze.
"So Kidman," Paul taunted, "How much is that nosy pansy gossip worth to ya? Heh, Heh. You know, the both of you suit each other. Both of you are weak, helpless, scared little mama's boys. The day I get my hands on him, both you are going to regret going against me".
At Paul's taunting, Billy saw red. It was like all of his emotions shut down and the only thing he could focus one was to beat the hell out of Paul London.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU PIECE OF SHIT"
Billy's rage took over and he knocked Paul to the ground and he started punching him furiously, over and over. The referee broke him off and Paul got up slowly. Billy then charged at Paul and took him down again, and began punching him once more. Billy then picked him up and smashed his head face first onto the mat. At this point he didn't care if he won the match or not so he shoved the referee out of the way and he undid the turnbuckle cover. He then picked Paul up and rammed his face on to the exposed turnbuckle. He threw Paul out of the ring, and then went out after. He picked up Paul again this time ramming his face into the steal steps.
Paul's nose was bleeding. He tried to wipe it off, but it hurt when he touched it. Which meant his nose must be broken. At this point the referee stated that Paul won the match by disqualification and many people where trying to hold Billy back. Torrie was one of them. They all pulled Billy into the back while help came down for Paul. They helped him walk to back to get fixed up.
While the fight was going on, Josh was sitting calmly in the locker rooms, watching it on lounge T.V. When he saw Billy lose control he got up with a curse. "Damn that London, I gotta go and calm him down before he does any damage."
Josh got out of the lounge and was running down the corridor to the ring. He was half way there when he collided with something hard and solid. Looking up from his fallen position on the floor, he saw the towering figure of Chris Masters looking at him.
"You're not going anywhere."
With that Chris picked up Josh and rammed his head into the wall. The impact disoriented him and he could feel himself being dragged back to the locker room. On getting back, Chris saw the match and the way Billy was beating the shit out of Paul. "That miserable son of a whore", Chris cursed. Turning to Josh he grabbed him by the collar and whispered menacingly, "I'm gonna take the payment of my boyfriend's injuries from your hide." Saying so he shoved Josh backwards, where he collided with a chair and fell down. The pain in his head was already too much and he could only look on helplessly as Chris stalked closer.
Billy and Torrie were walking down the halls when she spoke up.
"So what came over you out there?" she asked.
He was silent for a bit. He didn't really want to answer her. "I don't know. I guess I just had all this anger built up inside me from what he did and I lashed out."
"You realize you may have broken his nose right?" she told him.
"Yeah, I don't see the problem there", he retorted with a glare.
"Wow Billy, I never knew you could be so cold hearted", she said, shocked at the fact that Billy was being so cold when his usual disposition was sweet and caring.
"I never knew either, but I do feel that way towards him and I don't think anything can change it," he said sounding sad.
They got to their locker room in silence. They opened the door expecting to see Josh, but instead saw the room was completely destroyed with no sign of Josh. Both Billy and Torrie had horrified looks on their faces. Torrie picked up a note that was on one of the lockers, she read it out loud to him.
"Well, well, well, Billy. I bet right now you're not feeling to well. Yeah we have Josh, but I think you already knew that. This isn't some kind of note where you give us something and we give him back. No, we are going to keep him. Well right about now you are started to tear up and well we are driving away laughing at you," Torrie read. She felt a sudden sickness in her stomach.
The note was right. Billy was tearing up. He was happy with Josh this past week, and now he was gone. Billy and Torrie both hugged each other and cried as they fell to the floor.
The paramedics wrapped up Paul's nose as best they could then put a guard over it to make sure the bandages hold.
"You see what your stupid ass boyfriend did to me!" Paul shouted at Josh.
Josh was in the back seat of the car, with his wrists tied in back of him, his legs tied together, and his mouth gagged. He was terrified. He had tears in his eyes. He wanted to cry but he couldn't, he was too scared to do anything. Tears just leaked down his face as they built up.
"Oh come on now, we're going to have fun. This could be the best thing that has ever happened to you." Paul said with an evil tone. He was looking at his face in a mirror disgusted at how it looked.
Josh just closed his eyes ignoring the conversation that Chris and Paul were having. He wanted to get out of the car, but he knew if he tried he would fail. He couldn't stop thinking about Billy. He really wanted to be with him, but the odds of that happening now were slim to none.
God what are they gonna do to me? Josh asked himself as the car drove on.
