Edge looked at the ground, he wasn't sure what he was going to do. If he told Lita she could understand, or she could try and kill him, but if he didn't tell her Trish would and he figured that it would be much better coming from him than from Trish, but maybe it would be better coming from Trish, she had known Lita longer and Trish was Lita's best friend, he didn't what he was going to do, but he had six hours to figure it out.

"Hey."

Edge looked up at Lita, maybe this was a sign that he should tell her, after all she seemed like she was in a good mood, "Hey."

Lita sat down next to Edge, she didn't have that long to talk to him, mostly because she was going to be dragged into some boring wedding activity with either her mother, Edge's mother, or god forbid both, "Any chance you want to switch places with me, I have a feeling that one of our mothers is going to drive me crazy today."

"Aren't all girls supposed to get in wedding planner mode the second that they get the diamond?" Edge asked as a smirk appeared on his face, he knew that hanging out with his mother was enough to drive any sane woman into a mental facility, that had happened with three of their maids growing up.

"I'm going to ignore that." Lita stated before rolling her eyes.

"Why?" Edge asked, he didn't want to pass up any opportunity to mess with his fiancé.

"Because if I didn't I would punch you and then your mother would yell at me for putting myself in any harms way this close to the wedding." Lita replied almost wishing she was being sarcastic.

"That means I can ask you to have sex and you won't slap me?" Edge asked another smirk appearing on his face.

Lita gave a cocky smile, "It means that I won't hesitate to shave your head while your sleeping."

"Then I guess it's mistress time." Edge joked, well kind of he needed to know what she thought about that.

Lita raised an eyebrow, "Really now?"

"Would you be okay with that?" Edge asked, he tried to get away with not sounding like a sex crazed teenager but he was pretty sure it hadn't worked.

"Well we aren't really getting married married." Lita said joking, of course he couldn't have a mistress.

"Really?" Edge asked unable from keeping a smile on his face, that would mean she'd be okay with what happened between him and Maria.

"Wipe that stupid grin off your face, I was joking, I'm not agreeing to an open marriage."

"What about an open engagement?" Edge asked, although he was pretty sure that may have tipped her off.

All emotion drained from Lita's face as she slowly turned away from Edge, "Who did you sleep with?"

"What?" Edge asked becoming more nervous by the second.

"Edge I'm not stupid, who did you have sex with?" Lita asked as she turned back around with a hand on her hip, she didn't know rather to be offended that he slept with someone or relieved that he actually told her.

"Her name is Maria."

Lita slowly nodded, "Can you tell me how it happened?"

Edge avoided Lita's eyes before nodding, "You know how I told you that I dated a girl named Torrie?"

"Yeah."

"Well I lied when I said that I didn't really have a girlfriend after that, Maria and I dated for six years and I proposed then she left me."

"Which is why you told your family you were engaged, because you were and she left?" Lita asked beginning to understand a little more.

"Yeah."

"Okay."

"Okay? You aren't mad?"

"Edge what I'm going to do is not say anything right now, I'm going to meet up with our mothers spend the day talking about the wedding and we will talk when I get back."

"Red."

"Edge please don't ask me to do this right now, we will talk about this later."

As soon as Lita walked out the door she could tell-she could tell that as soon as she let it in, the fact that Edge had slept with someone, that it was going to hurt like hell, what she didn't understand was why. Why did she feel like she had just been hit by a cannonball? Lita quickly grabbed her phone and felt relief when she got voicemail,

"Hey Rachel, it's Lita I just wanted to let you know that I don't have time to do anything today, my best friend is taking me out so, I'll see you tomorrow."

Lita placed her phone in her pocket before getting a driver to take her to a place she knew well, she took a deep breath and finally knocked on the door,

"Lita what's going on?" Trish asked as she quickly pulled her best friend into the apartment, although she had a seeking suspicion it had something to do with what Edge had told her.

"I'm so confused."

"About what?"

"About my entire engagement," Lita replied as she slipped the ring off her finger, "About me."

"I know." Trish stated now knowing Edge had told her

"What?" Lita asked, how could Trish know what was going on, it wasn't like she and Edge had ever spent time together, that she'd known about anyway.

"I was talking to Edge yesterday and I told him to tell you or I would." Trish replied honestly, she didn't want to lie and Lita find out and take away her maid of honor status which meant she'd give the maid of honor title to the stupid pregnant girl.

"How could you not tell me?" Lita asked feeling somewhat betrayed by her best friend.

"Lita." Trish said as she rolled her eyes and people said she could be a drama queen.

"You're my best friend and I-"

"You what, I thought your engagement was just for money." Trish interrupted as a sly smile appeared on her face, she kind of expected her best friend had some feelings for Edge, hell if she lived with Edge she would have been sleeping with him from the first night on.

"It is." Lita stated, feelings were complicated to say the least especially in her situation.

"No it isn't." Trish protested, she knew her best friend to well to fall for that garbage.

"What?"

Trish shook her head before deciding to say it in the most obvious tone ever, "Lita you have feelings for him."

"No I don't he's just a stupid rich boy." Lita responded avoiding her best friend's eyes.

"If you didn't you wouldn't be upset about this."

"I'm not supposed to have feelings for him, does this make me weak or something? I couldn't even go two months without having feelings for him, how am I supposed to last a year?"

"Maybe you could tell him, see how he feels?"

"I know he doesn't have feelings for me Trish, he went and had sex with his ex girlfriend."

"Then break it off."

"I can't, Trish I need the money."

"For what?"

Lita avoided Trish's eyes, she knew she would have to eventually tell someone, "He wants the money by next year, with interest."

"How much?" Trish asked, she knew that her family had some money, but with her father's recent divorce she had no clue if she could get the money.

" 2.5 million." Lita said knowing what her best friend was thinking.

"I still can't believe that he expects you to pay him." Trish replied, she hated that stupid son of a bitch.

"Well he does and if I don't pay him I don't want to know what he'll do." Lita said despite knowing exactly what he'd do.

"I'm going to tell Angie." Trish replied before grabbing her purse there was no way she was going to let this happen to Lita.

"No Trish you can't, Angie doesn't know." Lita replied reluctantly.

Trish threw down her purse, "We have to do something."

"No Trish I have to do something, I have to marry Edge so I can get the money and then by the end of the marriage my crush or whatever you want to call it will be long gone."

"You did what?" Mickie asked slowly as she looked at Edge, there was no way that Edge had cheated on someone, Edge was too good of a guy to cheat on someone, he might be a bit spoiled or vain, but he wasn't a cheater.

"Mickie." Edge replied, possibly in the most ashamed voice he had ever heard, he couldn't repeat the story again, it made him seem like too much of a jerk.

"No Edge this is horrible, Lita is a good person." Mickie stated as she shook her head, what Edge had done just proved her mother right, even nice guys are jerks, Mickie opened her mouth but closed it before looking at her stomach and turning to Randy, "If we have a girl and a guy cheats on her, I'll kill him."

"No you won't." Randy said in a confident voice.

"Why not?" Mickie asked as she crossed her arms it wasn't like she couldn't kill someone.

"Firstly we're having a boy, secondly in the off chance that we have a girl and some guy cheats on her before you can even find where I keep my gun and yes I do have a gun I would have already killed that little piece of garbage for cheating on what would have to be the most awesome girl ever."

"You want to bet?" Mickie asked looking at Randy, determination written on her face.

"Which one of you would kill him first?" Edge asked as he looked at what had to be the craziest couple in the world.

Mickie rolled her eyes, "I'll bet you fifty dollars we're having a girl."

"Fine but we're having a boy." Randy responded giving Mickie a small wink.

"Edge?" Mickie asked wanting to know his take on the bet.

"I bet a hundred dollars that Mickie is having twins, a boy and a girl, but if she have one girl I'll give Mickie fifty, if you have one boy I'll give Randy fifty." Edge stated.

"Deal." Mickie and Randy said at the same time before Mickie slapped him.

"What was that for?" Edge asked as he held his cheek.

"You cheated on Lita," Mickie said before glaring at Edge, "And you think I'm fat enough to be having twins."

"Mickie baby Edge doesn't think your fat." Randy told her putting his arm around her.

"Yeah Mickie, sure you've gained a few pounds but you're pregnant and-" Edge stopped talking when he saw Mickie's eyes begin to tear up and Randy giving a deathly glare to him before Mickie walked out.

"I'm going to kill you." Randy stated before turning around to walk after his girlfriend, "He's got to be drunk baby, because there's no way he thinks you've gained any weight."

Edge watched as his friends exited, one thing was for sure though, dealing with them was way easier than whatever was going to happen when Lita came back.

Lita slowly paced outside the door of Edge's house, she had watched Mickie and Randy pull out of the driveway as she pulled in so she knew that they knew about Edge and Maria and she didn't know how she felt about them knowing. All she knew was that she had to walk inside that house and make amends with Edge to save her life. After taking a deep breath she walked back in Edge's house.

"Lita?" Edge asked walking up to the door, he couldn't help but feel guilty as he looked at her, "Hey."

"Hi." Lita replied slowly, "I think I'm going to go upstairs."

"Why?" Edge asked, she couldn't leave him then he would have no chance of getting his inheritance.

"I'm tired and I want to go to sleep." Lita stated, she knew he was probably expecting her to yell but she couldn't risk it, she couldn't risk not getting the money.

"Lita we need to talk about this." Edge stated blocking her from leaving, he needed her to say she was staying.

"Do we?" Lita asked, "We never established any kind of rules for our engagement, I never downright told you not to have sex with anyone else, I guess I just thought that was implied or something when we got engaged, but you know what I have no right to be angry with you and-"

"You have every right to be angry with me, I shouldn't have slept with Maria."

"Do you mean that?"

"I do."

"Thank you." Lita said as she avoided Edge's eyes, it hurt to look at him, "But you don't need to be."

"What's going on?"

"What?"

"Red I've known you for a while now, I know that you're upset about this."

"I wouldn't call a month a while."

"That's not the point Red," Edge made her face him, "What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Lita asked before angrily chuckling, "What's going on is that rather we're getting married for love or money we're still getting married, that doesn't mean you can go around with whatever ex girlfriend comes knocking on your door!"

"It wasn't like that!" Edge defended himself, he now regretted not going along with her initial approach.

"Well I don't care! Edge I haven't known you for that long, but that doesn't mean that I won't stand up for myself." Lita stated as her confidence grew with every passing word.

"Then what changed, because five minutes ago you were perfectly content in letting me get away with it?" Edge asked.

"I need the money." Lita stated before she could stop herself.

"What do you mean you need the money?" Edge asked, "Are you in some kind of trouble?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Lita said hoping that would be enough to get Edge off her back.

"That's too bad because we're going to talk about it." Edge replied, he needed to know what he was getting involved with.

"Or what?" Lita asked, he couldn't do anything to her.

"Or the deal's off."

Lita turned around and glared at Edge, "Then you won't get your inheritance."

Edge thought over his conversations with Randy over the past month, all he needed was Mickie and their baby, he didn't care about money, "I can live without it."

"Fine, can we sit down?" Lita asked, she needed the money too much to let Edge break off the deal.

"Sure," Edge sat down and looked at Lita, "So why do you need the money?"

"The thing is I had been dating this guy Matt since I was sixteen but when I was in college Matt started to change and the more he changed the less I wanted to be around him, then one night Matt and I were finally clicking again and we went to a party and everything seemed great until Matt and I got in a fight and I stormed out, a guy was coming on to me in an alley and he wouldn't take no for an answer, Matt had came after me and got him off me but then the guy started beating up Matt, I had to do it or he would have killed him."

"Red are you saying that you killed someone?" Edge asked as his eyes grew wide, surely that wasn't what she was saying.

"No! All I did was hit him across the head, I knocked him out and Matt and I left, I thought that was that, then a few years ago after Matt and I had broken up he said that the guy was suing us."

"Years after it happened?"

"I know it didn't make sense to me either, it really didn't make sense to me that he one, Matt had to give him a ton of money, now I owe Matt a ton of money, because he knows that lied on the stand."

"What?" Edge asked, "Red you were the victim, why would you need to lie on the stand?"

"I was scared out of my mind that somehow I would end up in jail, because if he could win a law suit he could probably file assault charges so I decided in a moment of what must have been temporary insanity that I would make up a story where he had tried to mug me and my boyfriend stopped him."

"How much money do you owe this guy?" Edge asked standing up from the couch, he knew what he had to do.

"Why?" Lita asked, he couldn't be doing what she thought he was.

"Answer the question." Edge stated as he looked at the girl he was going to marry.

"2.5 million."

Edge grabbed a pen from his desk, "You said his name was Matt?"

"Edge I can't let you-"

"I'm doing this for you, it's the least I can do for you, now what is this guy's last name?"

"Hardy."

Edge finished filling out the check, "Consider this my wedding present to you."

"Thank you."

Edge smirked, "Well if you really want to thank me there are some wonderful things I can think of that you can do."

Lita raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a smirk of her own, "Like?"

"Well I'm a man and since I won't be sleeping with any other girl-"

"Not for a billion dollars." Lita interrupted him as her smirk grew, just because she had a tiny crush on him didn't mean she was going to sleep with him.

"Really?" Edge asked somewhat disappointed.

"Yes."

"Come on."

"Begging does not look good on you." Lita stated as she began walking to her room, it had been one long day.
