It was strange being on the road with Dolph, but still in a story line with Cody. I was counting down the days until it was done. We checked into our hotel and Dolph helped me up to my room.
"I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted." I said flopping onto my bed.
"I was actually going to head down to the gym." He scratched his head.
"What?" I asked rolling over on my stomach to look at him. "This place is so go go go. When do we get to have fun."
"I don't know, whenever the Miz throws his next big party." Dolph said leaning back on the beside table.
"Let's go swimming." I said.
"What?" He asked.
"Come on." I said. "It's fun and it's kinda a workout." I said.
"Okay, fine." He said.
"Yes." I smiled. I grabbed my small bag and ran to the bathroom. I raced through trying to find a swimsuit and I decided on a black bikini with a racer back top. I grabbed out a pair of flip flops and left the bathroom. Dolph sat on the bed staring down at his phone.
"Ready?" He asked. I nodded. We took the elevator down and there were very few people there. Dolph threw his stuff down on a couple of chairs along with some towels and sat by the edge of the pool.
"Are you getting in?" I asked.
"I am." He said motioning to his feet in the pool. I rolled my eyes before flipping over onto my hands, before flipping over again and landing in the pool, splashing Dolph in the process. I let out a laugh as he wiped his face.
"Aw, is someone afraid of getting his hair wet?" I asked as I splashed him again.
"Oh, it's on." He said jumping into the pool. He grabbed me by waist and pushing me under. I tickled his sides and he let me go. "Not cool." He said grabbing my hands. "You seem pretty chipper for someone who just got out of a relationship." I sighed and shrugged.
"It's not the first time." I said. "He gets all moody for a while and then eventually comes crawling back." I said as I started to lower my arms.
"But you aren't going to take him back?" Dolph asked as he flipped his hair out of the way.
"I don't know." I said as he moved closer. "We've been through so much together since I've started." He moved towards me and I backed up to the edge of the bowl. My hands gripped the the sides of the pool, I felt my heart race.
"There's no reason you wouldn't?" He asked as he moved closer to me. I felt warm and nervous. He leaned down to me and my eyes began to close.
"Devin?" I heard Cody say. I pulled away from Dolph quickly.
"Cody." I said looking at him. I knew I looked as flushed as I felt.
"Did you.. um have a minute?" He asked. I looked at Dolph and he sighed.
"I'll uh, be in my room." He said getting out of the pool. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself and walked away as I pulled myself onto the edge of the pool. He sat down next to me.
"So.." He said.
"How did you know I was down here?" I asked.
"It's a very... Devin place to be." He smiled. I rolled my eyes at him.
"What is it?" I asked. "I should probably get to bed here soon."
"I just.. I'm sorry." He said. "All this drama with the intercontinental championship has really been getting to me lately. I know it's no excuse and it's just... I really want the best for us, Dev." He said turning to me and grabbing my hand. "I love you." I let a sigh go. I never understood why I always went back to him.
"I forgive you." I said. "But, this is the last time." I said. "No more letting your emotions get the better of you."
"Of course." He smiled. "I'll draw you a bath if you wanted to get your things." He said kissing my forehead. I stared into the pool for a while before I headed towards my room. I stopped by Dolph's room and knocked on the door. He had already changed into a pair of black sweats and a white tee. He held his hand out for me to come inside.
"So?" He asked.
"Um.. thanks for everything." I said. He began to shake his head as he walked over to the window. The curtains were drawn back and I could see all of the traffic moving outside.
"Devin, you can't be serious." He said placing his hands on the window and looking out to the city lights..
"You just don't understand." I said walking over to him. He didn't turn around right away. "Dolph, please."
"You remember the favor you owed me?" He said turning around and I just stared at him. "Don't..."
"Dolph, I can't." I said. "I'll do anything. I just..."
"Okay, fine." He said. "Glad I could be of service for you, I will see you around, I guess." He said.
"Dolph I..." I said as he walked over to the door and opened it. "Thanks again." I said before leaving. I gathered my things and took them to Cody's room. He greeted me with a kiss and I felt so empty inside. I got in the big tub filled with bubble bath and grabbed my phone. I began drafting a text message before locking my phone as Cody entered with a glass of wine. I smiled at him before staring out the big window staring at the city lights.
Summerslam
I hadn't talk to Dolph since that night. It was upsetting but, Cody and I have been as good as ever. I couldn't let the past get to me because tonight was the big night. I wore my bright pink and teal short shorts and halter top and my glittery white wrestling boots and was as excited as I have ever been.
Pretty Little Psycho-NightCore
"The following match is set for one fall!" Lillian Gracia said as my theme began to play. I walked out on my hands before flipping over. I shot the crowd with a bunch of finger guns before waving really big and I walked down the ramp. I slapped the hands of the front row before climbing the steps. I pumped up the crowd before I went under the ropes and walked over to the ropes. I stood on the bottom one and waved at the crowd.
Not Enough For Me
Michelle walked out with the Woman's championship around her waist. I watched her closely, jumping to side to side. I quickly noticed Layla wasn't by her side. She got in the ring and she eyed me as she took her belt off.
"Introducing the challenger, from Davenport, Iowa, Devin!" I waved to the crowd and grinned towards Michelle.
"And the champion, from Paltaka, Florida, Michelle McCool!" Lillian said as she got out of the ring. Michelle held her title up and showed it my way before handing it over to the ref. The bell rang and we circled each other. Michelle went for the first hit and I ducked it. I recovered quickly and sent a kick into the back of her knee. She fell down to one knee and I hit her with a dropkick and she fell forward. I ran towards her, flipping her over and pinned her.
"1.." Michelle kicked out. I was frantic as I we both stood up. Michelle hit me with a forearm and I fell back a little. As I came back up I saw Michelle running at me for a big boot. As she went to hit it, I ducked it again, falling backwards into a bridge. I turned again and swept her leg from underneath her quickly. I did a quick elbow drop and landed on top of her. I pinned her again.
"1.." Michelle kicked out. I picked her up and hit her with a forearm. I hit her with another and she pushed my to the mat. I fell backwards and stared at her. She pulled me up and hit me with a huge slap to the face. I held my face for a brief moment as Michelle began to irish whip me into the corner. I landed in the corner as Michelle charged me shoulder first. I quickly jumped up over the top rope and she ran her shoulder into the bar. I landed on Michelles back and flipped her over into a pin.
"1..2.." My heart sank as she kicked out again. I dragged her to the middle of the ring as I ran at the ropes getting ready for lionsault when something popped up on the monitor.
"Yea, yea." I watched as Layla stood with Cody. "Honestly, I don't know who else would be in the running for the most handsome superstar."
"It just takes a lot of effort to look this good all the time." He replied as he smiled at Layla. I held the ropes with my hand.
"I bet Devin doesn't even appreciate all the effort you put in to looking as good as you do." She said. "Not like I would." She said running a hand up his arm as the clip shut off. I turned around and was immediately laid on my back by a big boot.
"1..2...3.." I heard the bell ring and just like that, everything was gone. I was heart broken to say the least. I laid in the ring on my back for a while as Michelle celebrated. The ref came over to me to make sure I was okay and I sat up watching Michelle leave. Not only did she take my title shot, but any chance I had to actually be something in this company, with her.
A/N: Hey everyone and thanks for reading. If you have a wrestler you would like to submit to the story to be apart of Devin's journey, go ahead and send them over. We'll be spending the next couple of chapters in the Indies and I would love to have some OC's with a lot personality in them!
