Walking back to Punks locker room to gather her bags, Madison rubbed her shoulder that had been acting up a little from a childhood injury.
"You want some ice?"
"No I'm a big girl, I'm fine"
"Uh huh so what was with the looks to Seth tonight?" Madison looked up at him as she shoved her shoes into her bag.
"Whose Seth?"
"Guy with the blond in his hair" Phil said running a hand through his hair.
"Oh please, nothing I didn't even know his name until now" Phil sat back in his chair.
"You know he has a girlfriend" Madison rolled her eyes and sighed, so much for that.
"Good for him"
"I'm just telling you cuz you looked like you wanted to jump his bones" Madison waved her hand to deny it, God had she really been that obvious.
"Please I'm content with being single, If I wanted to date I would be dating" Phil nodded getting up and grabbing a towel getting ready to take a shower.
"I know you are, but I just don't want to see you getting hurt" Madison nodded and decided to point the shine at his love life.
"So what's going on with Amy?" Phil leaned back in his chair and frowned, shaking his head. Of course she was talking about Amy Dumas AKA Lita one of the most known female wrestler. Her and Phil had been on and off for a while before breaking up for good. Madison swore that they would end up back together.
"Nothing I've kinda..um...well I think I like someone else" Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open.
"What, tell me who she is"
"I'm not trying to jinx it yet" Phil said shrugging his shoulder and walking into the shower area. Madison sat back in her chair and went over what Phil had just revealed to her, who was this girl that caught his eye? She went over the WWE Divas in her head, she would know if it was one of them, she was friends with all of them and none of then mentioned anything. What if it was someone who didn't wrestle, did she know her? Madison stopped her mind from running, how did he find someone before she did? Madison frowned at the thought it had been almost 4 months since they broke up leaving their relationship better friends. She couldn't lie, this stung a little bit, where was her someone else? Gathering up her bag she shouted bye to Phil and walked out and headed to the parking lot where her rental was parked intent on driving to the airport and finally flying home for a 2 day vacation after almost 2 months of constantly being on the road. As she threw her bag onto the passenger seat and shut the door, turning she let out a yell of surprise seeing Seth had appeared out of no where.
"God you always go around scaring the talent?" He let out a laugh and stepped back a little to put some space between them. She had to admit she wasn't minding him so close.
"I'm sorry, you turned so quick"
"Well what can I do for you?" Madison said letting out a nervous laugh.
"I know they're thinking about you being our manager" She nodded her head as he continued. "I think you should do it" Madison gawked at him but quickly recovered.
"And why do you think that?"
"You're the best, I mean Heyman is a great manager but I think having a manger like you will elevate us" Madison smiled at his words, damn him.
"Well it's not up to me but if they do pick me Ill think about it, I promise" he smiled, nodded and turned to walk away before turning back abruptly.
"My name is Colby, Im going by Seth now but Colby that's my real name" Madison smiled and raised her eyebrow.
"Well it's nice to meet you Colby and Seth" He smiled that perfect smile. Not that she was noticing him smile that smile just an observation that he had a nice smile. Shut up!
Walking into her apartment Madison felt a huge relief wash over her, she was home she was going to sleep in her own bed for the first time in weeks. Madison threw her bags into the hall closet, deciding to unpack later all she wanted to do was sit on her big beautiful comfy couch, sinking down in the cushion she kicked her boots off and stretched out, grabbing the remote and turning the Tv on. As she searched for something to watch within her DVR she heard a beep from her phone indicating she had a voicemail. Of course as soon as she gets comfy she has to get up, groaning she pushed myself up and walked over to her purse fishing her phone out. Putting in her pass code she saw that she had a message from Mark.
"Hey Madison it's Mark just wanted you to know you're the front runner for managing The SHIELD, the whole team is on board, the guys in the group are even excited about having you as their manager, just gotta run it by the big bosses and if they say yes, it's all yours" Madison ended the call, did she really want to do this, she had a great thing going with Phil, working with him had been so natural they just clicked. Madison would never want him to think she didn't want to be in his corner, if she had to choose to manage anyone it would be him, she couldn't help but think back to Seth's words, she did tell him she would think about it and she would but after her hot bath.
Beep,Beep,Beep
Groaning Madison rolled over and grabbed her phone squinting as her eyes adjusted to the light, seeing it was 3:42, she rolled her eyes knowing it was going to be Phil, he always had trouble sleeping staying up till all hours of the night, she had gotten used to being woken up by him. Madison widened her eyes in surprise when she read the text.
Hey it's Seth I got your number from Mark, hope it's cool heard you're getting the job, congrats.
Madison smiled, ok it was just a business text but the thought that he had asked Mark for her number made her feel giddy. Before she had a chance to reply her phone beeped again, looking at it she saw it was Seth again.
I know it's late, sorry if I woke you, good night Madison.
Madison leaned up in bed, should she text him back would that seem too needy, I mean the guy did have a girlfriend but yet here he was texting her at 4 in the morning. Maybe Punk had heard wrong, hopefully he heard wrong. Setting her phone back on my nightstand Madison scooted back under the covers, she wouldn't even pretend to like him until she found out if he had a girlfriend or not. Yup that was good after her vacation she would ask him point blank.
