Adam left for awhile, having to go audition for a few shows that were coming up. He said he'd be back in a few hours, so I decided to do something while he was gone... and I wasn't sure how Adam would feel about. When I quit prescription pills, I started using marijuana as a pain reliever. Well, that was what the edibles were for, like brownies, candy, and stuff like that. They took away the body pain. I smoked weed for the anti-anxiety effect I used to get from pills like xanax. And I really didn't want to go back on xanax.
Alot of people don't understand how this is helping me. They think it's just trading one addiction for another, but I think it's something that was put here on this planet to help us. Unlike those man-made chemicals that were created and eventually enslaved a good majority of us...
Okay, that sounded a bit 'conspiracy nutjob' even to me, but you can't deny that the misuse of prescriptions is a big problem in our country. I know it was for me and a lot of other wrestlers. I'm just lucky I stopped before my loved ones had to bury me too.
I grabbed my stuff and went out to the balcony. I picked out some music on my phone, packed a small bowl, and laid back in the lawn chair, ready to relax. I got a few hits in when I heard the door to the balcony slide open. I sat up quickly, looking over to see Ren sitting down in the chair next to me.
"Hey, sorry to bother you, but you weren't answering your door. Had to check and see if you were okay." She said.
"Oh shoot, sorry about that. Couldn't hear you. I must have had the music too loud." I said, trying to hide the weed pipe between my leg and the side of the chair.
"It's cool. I'm just really glad that you weren't having a seizure. To be completely honest, I've never been on that side of the situation before... having to take care of someone while they have one." She said.
"Are you nervous? To see what it's like?" I asked.
"I can't lie... yeah, I am. But maybe it'll help me appreciate what Adam does for me more. I know that's what broke me and Frankie up. And I don't want that to fuck up me and Jay either... although I never see his ass." She replied.
Oh man! I never thought about what it would be like to see a seizure happening. I knew she had them, that's one of the main reasons I came, but... holy crap, that's going to be unnerving. And from what I'm told, hers can be worse. Sometimes alot worse, from what I can tell about that scar on her forehead. I've still been kind of scared to ask about that.
She paused the conversation for a second, twiddling her fingers on her knees, before adding, "So... you gonna let me hit that or what?"
"Huh?"
"That stanky dank you're trying to hide over there. I've got some to match, man, don't worry." She said, pulling a joint out from behind her ear that was completely hidden by the mohawk. I was kind of shocked, but also relieved that she was okay with it. And not only okay with it, she smoked too. And I've found smoking together was a good way to open up and get to know eachother, so I was looking forward to that, as well.
Which is what we did for the next hour or so, both picking out our favorite songs to listen to and learning a lot of different things. She told me about how she grew up with her and Adam's grandmother because her parents were on heroin. How Adam was so much older but always treated her like a sister growing up; he even went and threatened to beat up the first boy to break her heart, but he couldn't really because he was so much older. How they practically took Jay in because his mom was a drunk and that's why her and Jay always got along so well, because they had addict parents. And how they wanted to date for a long time but didn't because of the age difference.
I told her all about my mom and that battle with cancer. How our whole family was so great in helping us through it, especially when I was so young. How I lied about my age to the WWE and got through my first few jobber matches when I was only 16. The first time I met Adam and he was complaining to Shane about coming up through the fire with The Brood, because it kept singeing his hair... And I was in the middle of a very interesting story about Adam's 24th birthday, when he wanted to "go all Coyote Ugly on some motherfuckers" and Jay and I kept having to stop him from dancing on top of bars, when I heard the balcony door slide open.
Ren's laughing stopped and she said, excitedly, "Hey, cuz! What's the buzz!? How did you do?"
Adam smiled and replied, "Good, I'll be going back for the next round."
I was thrilled for the good news. I knew Adam was loving that he could fall back into acting now that his wrestling career was over, but also I was so happy he was back at the house. I clapped my hands together, excitedly, and stretched my arms out toward him, exclaiming, "Baby, you're home!"
He smiled, leaned down and kissed me, saying, "Hey, babe. How are you feeling today?"
"Really sore, but it's a different kind of sore than I'm used to. It feels more like when I got into that car accident than like how I feel after a match. Kind of weird, but... good otherwise." I said, before grabbing him and squeezing him tightly, adding, "I am definitely better now that you're here though."
He laughed, shaking his head, before turning to Ren and asking, "How fucked up did you get him?"
"Get him?" she asked, "Please, his shit is way better than mine."
"Really?" He asked, grabbing the pipe from Ren's hand. He looked at it questioningly, before shrugging and taking a hit, handing it back to her. "Eh, not bad."
Holy crap! Adam smokes? Another thing I didn't know about him. And another thing I didn't know we had in common. Well, marijuana was more widely acceptable now than back in the day, so I guess it's only understandable that more people use it. However, despite his persona on TV and a few good drunk stories, Adam was a real goodie-two-shoes, so it was pretty hard to envision before now. I almost thought that I was daydreaming.
I grabbed the belt loop on his jeans and pulled him down into my lap, wrapping my arms around his waist and burying my face in his hair. He scooted sideways so his back was against the arm of the chair instead of my chest and threw his arm around my neck, intercepting the pipe again as Ren passed it back to me.
"Not your turn." She said.
"Well, I gotta catch up!" He replied, "So, what else did I miss?"
"You're pretty much looking at it." I said, "Showing eachother pictures, telling eachother stories... you know, the norm."
"Yeah, I heard you telling her that Coyote Ugly story. Thank you for that." He said, sarcastically. I started laughing hysterically at that, gaining a slight blush to his cheeks, before he added, "You think that's funny? Maybe I should tell her that My Little Pony story of yours."
My laughing stopped, my eyes widened, and my breath hitched, getting stuck in my throat... God, anything but the My Little Pony story. "How dare you!" I exclaimed, snatching the pipe from him.
Ren started laughing at that, as well, to which Adam replied, "Oh, don't you start either. I can always tell him about the piano recital."
"Ooh. What happened at the piano recital? Even I don't know that story." A voice came from the door. All our eyes immediately turned to that direction and we saw Jay. Ren jumped up and threw her arms around his neck, kissing all over his face, happily. Jay laughed, before kissing her deeply, a moan escaping both of their lips instantly.
Adam sighed, turning to me and asking, "God. Do you see what I've been dealing with?"
"We were hiding it from you. How were you 'dealing' with it?" She asked.
"I told you earlier, you weren't that good at hiding it."
Jay smacked Adam on the back of the head, and sat down, pulling Ren into his lap. "Oh, shut up." He exclaimed, before pointing between him and I, "So, when did this finally happen?"
"Finally? You mean people have been waiting for it?" I asked.
"Are you kidding?" Jay asked, "Mark and Glenn owe me a hundred bucks each. They both bet that you'd get together when you and your brother first started WWE. I told them that you were way too blind and Adam was too much of a wuss to go for it. It would take years. I didn't think it'd be twenty, but..."
Wow. Twenty years they've waited? That's insane. That kind of puts a lot of pressure on us. Then again, from what I've heard, him and Ren have been waiting to get together for about the same amount of time. I could kind of understand what hesitated them to go for it. He is a lot older than her and they've known eachother since she was a kid. It would be very awkward to make that transition, no matter what the feelings were.
But then, I wondered... if everyone could see this relationship forming so long ago... why couldn't Adam and I? Was I really just too blind? There wasn't anything else really stopping us. He's only a few years older than me and we had pretty similar likes and dislikes. It was nothing like the couple sitting across from us.
However, my attraction to Adam has always been there, like I've told him before. I just really didn't think it would turn into anything. So, I guess I was blind... But to know that people have seen this relationship forming decades ago? I could only imagine what it could be now if we had done something about it then.
We sat and caught up with Jay for a while longer before he and Ren left to go spend some alone time together. It was nice to catch up with him. I knew he retired a little while ago but I was curious as to what he was doing afterwards. It turned out he was doing some new show for the history channel called 'Knight Fight', which sounded totally awesome.
But as nice as it was to see Jay, it was really nice to have some alone time together with Adam now, as well. It was strange. I had the new couple mentality with him... where I wanted him to be around me all the time and I couldn't get enough of him. But at the same time, it already felt so established, because we'd known eachother literally our whole adult lives. And as scary as that was, I was really starting to love it, because it made this relationship so unique and so exciting.
He was still on my lap and turned to straddle me the second they left, giving me light kisses, slowly gaining intensity. Soon, he was biting and sucking at my neck, causing me to moan in appreciation.
"Can you believe people saw something between us so long ago?" I asked.
He pulled back, replying, "Well, we have a lot of time to make up for then... now, don't we?"
"Most definitely." I replied, smacking his ass and pulling his mouth back to mine. It started to become more heated, feverish. He began grinding down into me, causing moans to escape both our lips. But it wasn't too long before we were interrupted.
Jay ran out of the downstairs sliding door and yelled up to us, "Guys! She's having one! She's hurt!"
Adam looked at me with terror in his eyes. He got up quickly and looked over the balcony. Then, he did something I wasn't sure I was seeing... he jumped over the side.
