Seth had been hiding at the performance center. Hunter knew he was there but had promised not to tell Laurianne. This was her big chance and she didn't need to have it ruined by feeling nervous over Seth's presence.
He had called her both Monday and Tuesday. They had talked for hours. In between calls, texts had gone back and forward. She was so easy to talk to. Everything just felt right when it came to her. They had agreed that she would contact him after the tryout to let him know how it went.
"Alright, Laurianne, you're up," Hunter said.
Seth stayed in the dark corner where she couldn't see him. Three people had tryouts that day. She was the last one. He watched as she did everything the coaches asked her to do. She was killing it. It was clear she had had wrestling training before. She was a bit rusty but that would be an easy fix. If any of the other two got signed over her, he would stop believing in anything good in this world.
"Thank you," Hunter said.
Hunter stepped over to the coaches and talked lowly so no one could hear them.
"Sign her," Seth whispered. "Sign her, damn it!"
It felt like hours but it was only minutes until Hunter walked back to the three people that had tryouts.
"Laurianne, we would like to sign you," Hunter said. "And for you two, remember that no doesn't mean no. It means not right now. Keep working hard and come back here for another tryout at some point."
As soon as Hunter was done talking, Seth came running from his hiding spot. Laurianne looked surprised at the whirlwind of a man that came flying towards her, scooped her up in his arms and swung her around in joy.
"You did it!" He yelled. "I knew you would. I'm so proud of you."
"Seth? What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Okay, I lied when I said I would stay away," he said.
"Starting out with lies? Not a good sign," she said.
"I swear it's the only time I'll ever lie to you," he said. "I didn't want to make you nervous, and I couldn't miss out on your big chance. I had to see you for myself, and quite frankly, Laurianne, you're very talented. You're gonna go far. I know it."
Hunter cleared his throat. Both of them looked over at him.
"I need you in my office to sign the contract, Laurianne. We have to go over it together before you sign so we agree on everything," Hunter said.
"I'll wait right here. I might even get in the ring to train with some of the NXT talents," Seth said.
Laurianne came back half an hour later. Seth was inside the ring with Cameron Grimes. He thanked the other man, jumped out of the ring and walked over to Laurianne.
"All good?" He asked.
"Perfect," she smiled. "I'm starting next week."
"You'll make it to tv in no time. Not only are you talented but you're also already famous. He's not gonna miss out on the chance of getting you out there as soon as possible. You got fans that will turn their eyes to the product just to see you despite never having watched wrestling before. It always happens when they bring in famous people from other sports or entertainments," he said.
They walked down the hall towards the exit. When they reached the door, he quickly looked around to make sure no one was there before leaning in to kiss her.
"I just had to do it before we go outside. There's always fans hiding around out there somewhere. It's one thing they get a picture of us walking together. A kiss will make people think you only got in because of me," he said.
"Technically I did," she said.
"I only helped you get a tryout. You did all the hard work," he said. "I wanna go celebrate with you."
"I don't live too far away. I got some leftovers from last night. Lemon chicken, if you like that," she said.
"Love it," he grinned. "I'll follow behind in my car."
He opened the door and they walked outside. They walked to their cars without saying anything. If anyone had seen them together, there was no other story to tell than them having left at the same time. He got into his car and followed behind her car until they reached her house. She lived in a nice neighborhood. He got out of his car and walked up to her. She opened the front door, and they walked inside. As soon as the door closed behind them, he grabbed her and kissed her while pushing her up against the door.
"Seth!" She giggled.
"Sorry, I couldn't wait," he said. "Damn it, you make me lose control."
"I'm happy to hear it," she smirked.
She grabbed his shirt and pulled him down for another kiss. 20 seconds later she broke it and pushed him backwards.
"Food first," she said. "I'm hungry."
"So am I," his eyes traveled down her body. "I'm looking forward to dessert."
"You're nasty," she laughed.
"And you love it," he laughed too. "Alright, precious. Feed me, and I'll make it all worth it afterwards."
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her again while she somehow pulled him with her to the kitchen. He moved her to the kitchen table and pushed her down to lie on it.
"I can't wait," he said. "Dessert first."
"Oh, fuck me," she mumbled.
"Later, precious," he smirked. "I just want a taste first."
He licked his lips, grabbed her leggings and panties, and pulled both of them off her. He ran his hands up her thighs and teasingly let his fingers run up her labia with a featherly touch. She whimpered in frustration, and he smirked at the sound. He leaned over her and started kissing down her stomach towards her crotch.
"I'm gonna enjoy this very much," he said.
"I think I'm gonna enjoy it even more," she said.
She let out a moan when his tongue ran up her folds.
"Yup, very much indeed," she panted and grabbed his hair. "Don't you fucking stop!"
