Chapter 13
Lori kept walking. She felt so betrayed. Three men were in her life now. She felt as if Sheamus had made it all better but now, he had screwed it all up.
"Wait!" He called from behind her. She turned, unable to ignore the hurt in his voice. She could see he had been crying, but not as much as her. She let him walk to her. He put his arms on her shoulders.
"I'm so sorry. I was warned not to tell you, so I didn't. What happened?" She continued to cry, hurt overtaking anger.
"But you lied to me. You said you loved me!" She protested. He looked down and shamed look protruding his sharp features.
"I know I did. But please forgive me and come back to me!"He pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head. She melted into his warmth, forgetting for a moment she was meant to be hating him.
"You know something?" She asked, pulling her head away but keeping her arms around his torso. He cocked his head to the side.
"For a moment, I hated you as much as I did three months ago." She smiled, burying her head back into his chest. He chuckled and started walking back to his dressing room with her in tow. She snuggled into his chest, shivering because of the eerie cold surrounding her. He loved the feel of her against him. He felt very protective over the small Diva, and felt responsible for her no matter what their relationship status. They made it back to his locker room within a few minutes, making sure the door was locked, he sat her down to talk.
"Going to tell me why you were crying?" He asked, holding one of her hands in his. Her breath caught in her throat at the feel of his touch. She tried to speak but a small croak came out instead.
"Ted grabbed me in the ring... he told me he cheated on me!" She whispered. She had trusted this man with her life and heart and he threw it away and stamped on it. She struggled to ever see a future with Ted but although their future together was hazy, she was sure she could make it work. Sheamus pulled her into a bone crushing hug just as she remembered what Drew said. She pulled away to look him in the eye.
"You knew he cheated on me, didn't you?" A horrified expression spread across both of their faces.
"No I never, If I did I would have told you!" He could see someone had stirred things up between them.
"How do I know your telling the truth. You lied about tonight didn't you!" She threw her arms up in the air hysterically. Sheamus didn't know what to do. He had lied to her already so she had no reason to believe him. He rubbed his forehead, not knowing what to do.
"Look Lori. You don't have to believe me if you don't want. You know, deep down, I'm telling you the god honest truth because I would never do anything to hurt you. Emotionally or Physically. Damn it lass, I love you!" He cried, standing up. She let the tear roll down her cheek as she turned and left. She didn't slam the door. She never screamed. She just left, slowly letting the door click shut. Sheamus didn't get up to follow her as he knew she needed time to think. If he had just asked her out months ago, they would not be fighting now. He packed his bags, ready to head back to his hotel room when the locker room door burst open.
Lori exited quietly, leaving him alone with only himself to blame. She wiped away the tears as she saw Sam, Kelly and Layla approaching, chatting away. She put her head down in an effort to ignore them but they grabbed her at the last possible second. Lori lifted her head to smile and the three girls gasped.
"Sweetheart, Whats wrong?" Layla asked, rubbing her friends back. Lori shook her head and tried to pull away from the group.
"Come back to the hotel with us." Samantha hugged her friend, taking the place of Layla. Lori nodded quietly, pulling on her bag that was slung over her shoulder. She followed her friends out to the awaiting taxi. Sam text Randy to tell him to stay out of their room for a few hours. They all bundled into the taxi and silently sat in the car for twenty minutes. Sam had Lori's hand in hers, keeping a firm grip and slowly rubbing circles into her palm. Lori was thankful for the friendly gesture. It was keeping her calm and stopping the tears that were desperately fighting to get out of her eyes.
The took their turns at the reception desk, all of them checking in and paying for another night. When Lori's turn came, she asked if she could have her own room. The woman kindly nodded and handed her a separate key.
"Is it alright if I get my things from the other room first?" She asked. The kind brunette nodded. She handed Samantha the keys.
"Go up to room 25 and get my things please. I don't want to step foot in that room." Sam looked at her other friends.
"Wait a second. I have a better idea." Just as she finished talking, Randy rounded the corner with John in tow, his arms wrapped around a very smiley AJ Lee. All of the girls gaped at the obviously newly formed couple, who were laughing. Probably at one of Randy's terrible jokes.
"So where you headed now?" Randy asked his best mate, stopping in front of his wife. AJ and John grinned at each other.
"In and out burger. Catch you later bud." He waved at Randy and the girls before walking away with his new girlfriend. Randy turned to Samantha, kissing her and giving her a cuddle.
"Babe, could you do us a big favor?" She asked, fluttering her lashes at her husband. He rolled his eyes.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked. She handed him the keys and he looked at her, confusion spreading across his face.
"Room 25. Grab Lori's things and take them back to our room." Samantha pecked him on te cheek and then he turned towards the lobby. She reached her hand out and slapped his ass, making him jump six feet in the air. He never looked back, instead kept walking, wiggling it as he walked. Lori rolled her eyes at the obvious attempt of bribery. It was at that point she realized she was one of the only single diva's, and most of them were married or engaged. There was Kelly and Alex, Christian and Kelly and Randy and Samantha. They were her three closest friends and they were all married. Maryse and Mike were also married and Punk and Amy were getting hitched in a few weeks. Tyson and Natalya were engaged. Beth Phoenix was married to her college sweetheart and even the cold-hearted bitch Eve was about to marry her long-term jiu-jitsu boyfriend.
'Fuck sake' She thought as Samantha dragged her up to her room. She hated it when her friends jumped onto he interrogation bandwagon.
Tonight was going to be a long night...
