I'm finally back with an update for my story and you'll notice I've had a title change! I still hope you're enjoying it. I've had a family member in the hospital for almost 2 months so my writing muse has been non-existent. But she is coming home tomorrow and tonight I was finally able to write again! I'll try to get another story or so updated over the weekend since the craziness has seemed to calm down. Thanx for standing by and enjoy!

Chapter 8 - Crazy In Love

January 2014

He couldn't remember the last time he had a normal couple of days off. Ever since he'd gotten called up to the main roster back in November of 2012; everything was a fast pace and always on the go. It felt like he never got a day off and when he did it was always on the road because the day after he had an autograph signing and the following day was back on the road.

It really was never ending...or at least that's the way it felt.

Grey orbs looked up at the ceiling as the buzz the WWE fans created hummed through the arena. He had been lacing up the black combat boot laces before he tucked the bottom of his black cargo pants in the top of the boots before tying it off all the way and tucking his laces into the boot as well. He stood and pulled on a grey sleeveless muscle shirt before he pulled on the black riot vest; zipping and velcroing as he went.

Joe's head snapped around as the locker room door opened and he watched as his two stable mates Colby Lopez (who wrestled as Seth Rollins) and Jon Good (who wrestled as Dean Ambrose) walked into their locker room carrying bottles of water so they could douse their hair before they went to the ring.

"Hey ain't your girl supposed to be meeting up with us tonight after Raw?" Joe asked.

Colby sighed softly as he got a really goofy looking grin on his face. "Yea, I can't wait to see her. We've been dating for 6 months and she doesn't have a clue what I do for a living."

Jon smirked. "Six months and she has no clue who or what the fuck you do for a living? Does she think you're some kind of magician and can make money appear out of thin air or something?"

Colby chuckled as he tied his shoulder length hair back with an elastic back. "We decided when we started dating we didn't want any specifics. We told each other a couple of deeply personal things, but we decided to keep what we do for a living a secret. I know it's weird and unconventional, but that's how we like it. She travels a lot and I obviously travel a lot."

Jon shook his head. "That doesn't make sense but I guess every relationship is different."

Joe chuckled as he shook his head at his two stable mates. "C'mon boys let's get going; we need to handle business tonight and go out for some ice cold beers."

Colby and Jon both nodded in agreement as they gathered themselves and walked out of the locker room.

"COLBY!" A familiar voice squealed.

Chocolate orbs snapped up from the bar top to the door of the hotel bar as a smile adorned his face. The mahogany hair colored girl with the amber eyes squealed his name and a warm sensation spread through his entire body.

Colby stood from the bar stool and watched as his girlfriend of six months jogged over and jumped into his arms. Their mouths connected immediately in a toe curling kiss as her legs wrapped around his waist and her hands cupped his beard covered cheeks.

"Mmmm I missed you too baby." His voice rumbled against her lips as the kiss came to an end. He leaned down slightly until her feet touched the ground once more.

Her thumbs gently rubbed against his beard covered jaw before she pushed up on her toes and stole a few more sips from his lips. "I missed you more." She whispered back against his lips.

Colby wrapped his arm around her as he looked down and let his eyes lock with hers. "C'mon the guys got a table over in the corner." He steered her towards the corner of the hotel bar.

Alison's amber eyes sparkled as she leaned into Colby's body and let him lead her to the booth in the back where a man with auburn blonde curls and icy blue eyes was watching as they approached.

"Bro, this is my girl Alison; Ali this is Jonathan Good." Colby introduced.

Alison smiled softly and watched as the auburn blonde curled cutie stood and shook her outstretched hand. "Nice to meet you Jonathan..."

Jon chuckled. "It's just Jon darlin'."

Alison smiled as Colby motioned for her to sit down in the two chairs across from Jon as he took his seat back as well.

"Where's the big man?" Colby asked as he flagged the waitress down and ordered the two of them beers plus two more for their counterparts across the table.

"Takin' a piss and the girlfriend called him. I think someone wants to give up the dirty talk for some phone sex; don't expect him out of the bathroom for a while." Jon informed him as he drained the rest of his beer out of his long neck. Jon wiggled his eyebrows at the happy couple across the table. "So how did Colbs rope a beauty like you into a relationship with him?" Referring to Colby by a nickname.

Alison chuckled as she felt Colby kiss her temple. "Well with both of us traveling it's hard to escape some place together. But when we finally do get time together it's always nice when we get reacquainted with each other. It reminds me why we enjoy each other's company so much and why we find time to meet no matter where we are when we both have different jobs."

Jon smirked. "Oh that's right you and Colby don't know what the other does for a living. Colby could be a bank robber and you could be a mass murderer for all either of you know." Jon joked.

Colby rolled his eyes. "Don't mind Jon; he has a strict 'honesty is the best policy' outlook on life."

"Yup! Every woman should know just exactly what they are getting into if they want a relationship with me. Of course half the time it's all about the sex and once they get the full honest to God story behind me they use me for the dick and then head for the hills. I should really start lying to women." Jon stated as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly before he watched the waitress lean over the table and place the four long neck bottles down.

Jon could see the blonde with the big tits smiling at him in a not so subtle way. Oh yea she knew exactly who he was. Jon stood up as he whispered in her ear before he tucked a small white napkin into the left cup of her bra and then gave her jean covered ass a firm slap. "See you in an hour." He growled out.

Colby rolled his eyes once more. "Subtle." He snorted out. "See what me and Joe gotta put up with? Jon's got some quirks about him, but we seem to deal with him pretty good."

Alison wasn't sure but she could tell there was something about Colby that he didn't seem to like Jon much. There was something just behind his words and the way he looked at Jon that just threw Alison off. Jon was unusually forward and truthful; most guys lied out of their asses to get in a girls pants.

Alison looked around the quaint hotel bar and was happy to see people drinking and even some dancing to the low music that was being pumped through the speakers. Who knew a hotel bar could be so friendly? It was very warm and inviting.

"You wanna dance beautiful?" Colby questioned quietly. The smile that slid across her face was enough of an answer that he didn't even need to hear her voice. He watched as she nodded before he stood. "Scuse us I'm going to go push my girl around the floor." He stated to Jon as he took her hand in his and led her to the small dance floor.

Alison laughed as Colby twirled her around before pulling her gently into his arms. She felt his left arm wrap around her waist as his right hand took her left into his and pressed it against the middle of his chest. Amber eyes locked with chocolate brown as their bodies swayed to the music slipping through the speakers.

Colby could feel the way Alison relaxed in his arms. She was comfortable and confident about the way they felt for each other. They had only been dating for six months and they were slowly getting to know each other. Tonight sometime they were going to reveal what they each did for a living and then hopefully he could tie her down and they could move forward with their relationship. He really wanted something on a more permanent level.

She had a condo on the beach in Tampa, Florida; six month prior to meeting Alison, Colby lived in Tampa, but had decided he wanted to move back to his hometown of Davenport, Iowa because his entire family still lived there.

What were the odds he would met someone who lived where he used to?

At least when he got time off and went to visit her; he knew how to maneuver around the city. If they were getting closer and taking a next step he was hoping he could get her to move in with him in Iowa, but they were definitely a few months from that.

"When will you be home again Joey?" The giggling female on the other lines asked.

Joe cringed every time she called him Joey; like he was a damn five year old. They'd been dating long enough for her to know calling him 'Joey' was a HOT button issue. Joe tucked himself back in his jeans before he flushed the toilet. "I'll be home in a few days baby. You'll be the first person I see."

"You promise Joey?"

Joe rolled his eyes and snorted. "I promise Lacey." He hit the end button before she could call him Joey again. He let out a slight growl before leaving the bathroom.

Blue eyes watched from the corner table. There was something about that Alison chic that had Jon's spidy senses all tingly. He felt like he knew her but knew he had never met her. He couldn't figure it out and it was gnawing on the back of his brain.

"What's got you looking all quizzical bro?"

The deep baritone voice pulled Jon from his personal thoughts as he looked up at his brother from another mother. "That chic that Lopez has been talking about non-stop for the last six months. There's something about her that seems familiar and I can't put my finger on it."

Joe's stormy grey eyes turned to the dance floor as he immediately caught sight of his stable mate; thanks to the quarter section of blonde hair he had; with his arms wrapped around a shorter mahogany haired girl. His grey orbs danced all over her curves and landed on her jean covered ass. "Damn I wouldn't mind having that swing in my backyard bro." He stated as he nodded in the pair's direction.

Jon's boisterous laughter exploded from the table as Joe chuckled deeply and they pounded their fists together. "I wouldn't mind more than the swing bro."

Joe chuckled again. "Don't let Colby hear you say that he'll get all butt hurt about us talkin about his girl."

"Yea yea, you ever get the feeling it's me and you against everyone else in the ring and not the three of us?" Jon asked honestly.

Joe shook his head negatively. "Colby was a hell of a wrestler in ROH and he did damn good in NXT; they wouldn't have made him champ in NXT or put him with us if he wasn't a good fit." Joe pointed out.

Jon nodded keeping his verbal thoughts to himself. Joe was a hell of a guy in and out of the ring he was a nice guy his family was welcoming and Joe had heart. Not a lot of wrestlers had a lot of heart the way Joe did. Anyone who knew him knew he had gotten about 40% from his dad and 60% from his mother. His parents were HUGE support systems for him when he decided football wasn't his thing and he was ready to really give wrestling a real shot.

Damn he was green as the grass on a nice sunny day; that was until Jon had been signed to NXT and took him under his wing. Joe was a damn fast learner and worked his ass off to get where they were on the main roster. Joe never questioned Jon when he would teach him something he just did it without complaining learned it perfect in 5 or 10 minutes and moved on. His mic skills leaved a little to be desired but lately Jon had been doing mock mic work with him when they would travel from venue to venue in the rental.

Joe's grey orbs went back to the dance floor. "Hey...where did they disappear too?"

Jon chuckled. "Probably back to her room for a little slap and tickle."

"No filter bro." Joe chuckled as they ordered two more beers.

Her back was pressed against the circuit breakers box as his lips skimmed their way down the sensitive flesh of her throat. Her long legs were wrapped around his muscular waist as her finger delved into his blonde and dark brown hair. His beard was sliding making goosebumps break out all over her body every time it brushed against her flesh as another throaty moan left her lips.

Colby had missed the sound of her moan. She had never been one for phone sex; even though their conversations over the phone would get HEATED ever once in a while. And damn she could send some dirty pictures to his cell that left NOTHING to his imagination and played on his hormones. She was a shit ton of fun in bed and out of bed. She was a tough chic but a soft girly-girl when she wanted to be. She wrestled with him and knew there was nothing getting in their way of becoming a more permanant thing. And that was exactly what he wanted.

Alison let out another moan as Colby's hands roamed her body and she could feel just exactly what kind of reaction his body was having to her. She did love him in his skinny jeans; especially with his pelvis pressed against the apex between her thighs. She forgot how much she had missed him and missed this.

Colby's soft lips came back to hers as she slowly brought the kiss and make out session to a halt. "C'mon Colbs, we have to seriously get out of this janitor's closet. Someone is going to come in here and find us."

Colby smirked against her lips. "Then I'm going to give them my cell and ask them to tape the hottest fuck session they will ever witness in their puny lives."

Alison giggled against Colby's lips. "Down tiger." She patted his shoulders as he carefully leaned over and placed her on her feet.

"Fine, but were going to get a lot of footage later and make out own porn because I hate trying to travel without you. I need something to keep my occupied on those long lonely nights I'm away from you." Colby bargained before he squeezed her ass and opened the door letting her vacate as he followed.

They went back to the corner table and Colby chuckled. "Big man still spanking it in the bathroom? Lacey must be working overtime for her Joey!" Colby teased as he said Joey in a high girly voice.

"No you fucker I had to actually piss this time." A deep baritone voice stated behind Colby and Alison.

Amber eyes widened...she knew that voice.

But it couldn't have been him...could it? It really couldn't be the only man she'd ever been crazy in love with...

Alison spun around as amber eyes locked with stormy grey orbs.

"Joseph Anoa'i..."

"Alison Merker."
