Abandoned Baby
Chapter 24
Justin took Bless inside the arena with him that way they could talk.
"You know what makes me feel better when I'm sad?"He asked her.
Bless shook her head at the African Sensation.
"Ice cream always made me feel better after a horrible day so why don't we go to catering and talk there?"He suggested to her that he would treat her.
"Oh Justin I couldn't impose."Bless felt so bad he was spending his money on her.
"Babe, it's no problem besides I want too. Come on my treat."He smiled letting her know she could trust him.
"Okay."She said nodding letting him lead the way.
When they got to catering, he got some chocolate/vanilla swirl ice cream for them then paid.
They found some empty seats for themselves.
"I know I'm not really supposed to have sweets but I could have one cheat day at least."Justin said since he had a sweet tooth and was craving for something sweet and wanted to talk to Bless just in hopes of making her feel better.
"Bless,is everything okay?"Justin asked while cupping his bowl in his hands.
"Yeah...I guess I'm still letting all this news absorb is all."She reassured looking down at her ice cream.
"It has to be tough losing a loved one. Baby...I know you feel because I lost my dad a very long time ago but he will always be with me forever. I miss him dearly too and I had many friends and my mom to help me along the way to cope with everything. I just want to let you know that you're not alone in this situation sweetie...I'm here and the guys too including Drew and your daughter."Justin explained to her how much he and the guys cared and loved her.
"I just miss her so much...I saw a picture of her earlier and it makes me wish she were still alive you know..."She sniffled softly shaking her head.
"It still doesn't feel real..."She barely said in a whisper as Justin looked at her sadly.
"I know it doesn't but she always be with you always in spirit. I'm sure somewhere that she wouldn't want you to be unhappy and carry on with your life."He told her how it felt losing a loved one since he had been there before but he felt the spirit of his father inside of him that he hoped he was proud of him and carrying on his legacy. He wanted Bless to do the same and see the bubbly person he usually saw on a daily basis.
"I wish it were that easy Jus. It was just me and my sister against the world growing up without a mother and father. We had no one but ourselves. I took care of her since we were little girls and now I feel like I lost a part of me and will never get her back."She told him her life story opening up to him.
Justin was in shock to even learn that she never had a mother or father and that put a whole new spin in things.
"I'm sorry to hear that honey. I didn't know..."He said quite shocked that it was just her and her younger sibling out there in the big world by themselves. They must of led a tough life outside their home.
"I never too close with my mother. She's working overseas in Japan trying to scrounge for money to help us get out of our slump at home. She works as a domestic home worker and my father, I never really got to know him. He and my mother split after Evelyn was born. She moved us a lot while we were growing up. Evelyn and I tried everything to help our mother and worked when we were just kids so it was just the two of us. I started working maybe around when I was 15 years old here and there doing odd jobs and my sister helped me. We split from our mother when we got a little older and our lives were just starting out." Bless explained her life story to Justin.
"Oh wow...that pretty much explains everything."Justin realized they had a pretty tough life and it wasn't really easy growing up with a broken house hold and they didn't have an easy childhood.
"How did you end up here any way?"Justin was quite curious.
"I saw an ad in the paper one day and everything was pretty much history from there."She told him with a small smile beginning to eat her ice cream.
"Wow...You're a lucky girl then."Justin said to her with a smile.
"Lucky...not really but worked hard to get where I am. I do pretty much everything around here trying to help as much as I can. I work on scripts, plan airfares and schedules for most of the superstars and divas, I'm their therapist or give out advice when someone needs it and I'm just their eyes,ears,and shoulder, I'm also everyone's doctor and nurse, stylist, etc...I guess you can say I'm pretty much a multitasker."She told him as she was eating and telling him much more about herself.
"You and Drew...how did that come about?"The sweet African prince was so fascinated in this young girl that he just wanted to get to know her more and she had quite the personality.
"Stephen introduced us and it was love at first site."She giggled reminiscing that moment and couldn't ask for a better life with him.
"Oh yeah..."He chuckled.
"Yeah that's about right."She giggled a little playfully mocking her friend.
"What about you Justin...How do you like it here in the U.S. so far?"Bless asked him.
"Quite interesting to be honest and I love this job. There's nothing else like it. I always wanted to be a professional wrestler since I was a kid."Bless could tell that he was living his dream and getting to travel the world.
"It sounds like you're finally living your dream come true."She looked up at him and smiled while patting his hand.
"Yup and I got the greatest friends in the world meaning Stephen,Stu,Heath,Zeke,and a bunch of others and I also like talking to you. You're so unique and super sweet."Justin liked talking to Bless and getting to know her and he felt like they could be best friends forever.
"Thank you PJ, that means a lot."Bless blushed feeling so touched by his words.
Talking to the South African man, she felt the weight come off her shoulders and felt so comfortable talking to him as they've known each other for a lifetime.
"I feel so much better talking with you Peej, it feels like the weight has lifted off my shoulders and maybe I shouldn't dwell too much on my sister's loss and maybe learn how to move on though how much I miss her...Thank you for being here."She felt grateful to have him as a friend and he was like an older brother just looking out for her.
"You're mostly welcome sweetheart. You know like I said I like talking with you and you're a good girl honey."He felt the need to tell her as he scooted closer to hug her with his left free arm.
"Aren't you going to eat your ice cream?"She noticed it was going to melt soon.
"Yeah I guess I might as well finish up eating since Drew might be looking for you."He knew her boyfriend would be searching for her after her match.
"You're right."She agreed as they finished their dessert then went to drop her off at Drew's first.
"Love, Heath,Stu,and I are having a movie marathon night and was wondering if you,Drew,and the little one want to come?"The African Sensation asked if she would love to come to their apartment.
"Sure, I'd have to let Drew know first. I can take a rain check though if things happen to change."She let him know.
"Okay. Well...I gotta go before Heath sends out the search party. Good night Bless and take care of yourself tonight."Justin said as he kissed his friends cheek and embraced her.
"Good night Jus."The pretty PA too kissed his cheek and squeezed his hand softly before they parted ways as he went off into another direction to find his friends.
After Drew's match he got a text back and saw his girlfriend had texted him and said she was in their locker room waiting for him. They would pick up Catherine at Daycare then head home.
Entering their locker room, Drew saw his girlfriend Bless was packing their stuff and getting ready to go.
"Hey...you look a little better."He noticed she looked pretty content after she had broke down previously walking over to her to kiss her hello.
"Justin treated me to ice cream earlier and we talked."She giggled after breaking their sweet kiss.
"Good. You need a friend or two to talk too."He said with a smile glad to know she was feeling better.
"So you ready to go get our daughter first before we head home?"Her sweet boyfriend asked lacing his fingers with her's.
"Uh hu..."She nodded as they walked out of the room together to get their daughter. They really liked the sound of that. THEIR daughter after they finally all the papers were finalized and able to adopt her as their own.
Once they got Cat from Daycare, Drew helped Bless dress her up in some warm clothes and bundling the little girl in blankets before placing her in the carrier.
"Oh by the way, Justin mentioned that he,Stu,and Heath are inviting us tomorrow to their apartment for movie marathon tonight and wanted to know if you wanted to know?"Bless asked the Scot if they weren't too busy and they had an off day from work.
"Doesn't sound like a bad idea."Drew agreed to that as he buckled in Catherine in her carseat while Bless put on the baby blankets over her to keep her warm.
Once they were finished packing, they were ready to go to the hotel for some evening rest and relaxation.
