Right before I could get a good distance away from him, he grabs my arm, stopping me cold.
"So that's what we do now"? He asks me. I turn to face him but I keep my head down. Truth is I'm still very much in love with him.
"Lei please do not make this harder than it already is.
"What's hard?" he asks me. "Talking to me is hard now." He says incredulously.
"No the fact that we haven't spoken since two years ago" I tell him kind of intense.
He replies with a heated whose fault is that and I let go of all the things that was inside of me for two damn years. I tell him that it's both of our faults because we started something that shouldn't have happened but that I don't regret that it did. How much in love with him was and still am. I tell him that seeing him now and talking to him is because all I want to do is have him hold me like he used to do. I stop him as he tries to do that very thing.
"We can't Lei, as much as I want to be in your arms, and have you hold me until I'm okay, we can't" I tell him forlornly.
After he tells me he misses me too, he steps forward and gives me a hug anyway. I react by melting into his arms. This feels like old times is what comes across my mind. After breaking apart, Lei tells me that he has to go but asks me if we can try to rebuild the friendship we once had. I tell him that we could try and gives him my new number. After leaving the arena, I make it to my hotel. I take my shower and do my hair before making my way out of the bathroom to find something to wear. I started texting the girls after finding a great black and pink asymmetrical dress. Making my way to the club, I turned on the radio, which so happens to be playing "Yo Side of the Bed" by Trey Songz. I started to think about Joe and immediately started to get sad. Pulling into the parking lot of the club, I decided to let all of that go and have fun with the girls tonight. After making it past the bouncer, I go straight to where the girls and some of the guys on the roster are.
"Hey Court-Port" Jon says to me a little drunkenly. I laughed and replied "Hey drunk Dean-Bean" He laughs while trying to give me a one-arm hug. Renee, Naomi and the rest of the girls all come to give me a hug and their own form of hello. A little later Naomi and I have a dance contest, which I surprisingly stayed in with her. That was until she pulled out the flips and shit. Now I'm a very flexible plus size lady but that flipping… No way. After settling down, we went to the bar and got more shots and beers (in Jon's case). The two Jons thought it was a good idea to challenge me to a drinking contest. I won against both of them and was still nowhere near drunk. I went back out on the dance floor and was doing my thing, when I felt a hand on my back. I turned to see a cute, green-eyed man behind me.
"Hey beautiful, would you like to dance with me" He asks me shyly. "Sure" I reply back. Then we started sway to a slow song that the DJ was playing. "My name is Charlie" he tells me so I tell him my name. He tells me he has been watching me for some time but was scared to approach me. I laughed a little at that and tell him that that was how I used to be. After the night started wind down, me and the crew went to our hotel. After showering the night off of me, I slipped into my favorite PJs and was about to go to sleep when my phone lit, letting me know I had a message.
Goodnight baby girl and I am glad we can be friends because I miss talking to you-Joe.
I reply that I am happy too and that I would see him the morning.
After getting my beauty rest, yes I said beauty rest; I headed down to check out. While checking out, I texted Lei, Naomi, and Jon. Jon replied silly stuff while Naomi caught me up on the shows I've missed. Lei texted that he was about to kill Colby, who keeps talking about some band that he didn't know, nor did he care about. Making my way to the arena I stopped and got me some breakfast and got coffee for my friends. I learn that I was in a match with Nattie and Naomi. The match was a #1 Contender match to see who would go on to face Nikki Bella for her Divas Title. The match starts with me and Nattie locking up and Naomi hitting me in the gut knocking me out the ring. She and Nattie starts going at it and I interrupt when she goes for the pin after a split-leg moonsult. I hit her with a pump-handle sit-out powerbomb. I won the match but got attacked by Fake-Tits herself.
