Chapter Six: Confusion

Matilda gave Jon a half smile when she arrived at the hotel in Lubbock after a day of vegging out at her home. Matilda got her room key and headed to the elevator Jon was still waiting at.

"Pretty sure Renee and I are over," said Jon quietly.

Matilda frowned and looked at him, "What?"

"On Wednesday she said to me that it would be best if we went separate ways because neither of us are on the same page. I've tried calling her but she won't answer."

"Shit."

"Yep."

Matilda gave him a sympathetic pat on the arm as the elevator arrived. The doors opened revealing Colby. Matilda pointedly ignored him as he stepped out before her and Jon walked in.

"Not all roses for you and Colby either?" asked Jon.

Matilda shook her head, remembering the not so subtle accusation Colby had thrown her way in regards to her and Jon.

Matilda checked over her appearance for the live event and turned from the mirror satisfied with how she looked. Colby stood behind her, prepared for his own match against Jon.

"Can we talk?" asked Colby quietly.

Matilda nodded and waited for Colby to begin. Matilda and Danielle were the only two divas for the night and Danielle was already out escorting Alexander for his match against Paul – also called Big Show.

"Look, I was a dick. I promised you a night of fun and I left. The call I got… yeah it was work related and I get single minded about things. I'm sorry, Mattie."

"Yeah, that annoyed me but what really pissed me off was the fact you basically accused me of cheating on you with Jon!"

"Yeah… I'm sorry. That was a dick move as well."

Matilda shook her head, "Why would you even think I would do that, Colby?"

"I don't know… you and Jon seem pretty close."

"We're friends who have things in common – like beer and bad TV. So what? That doesn't mean I'm going to jump his bones or anything!"

"I'm sorry and I swear to not be a dick any more."

Matilda sighed. She could see the sincerity in Colby's eyes. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her, kissing him lightly on the lips.

"Forgive me?"

"This time I do," murmured Matilda before Colby captured her lips in another kiss that grew more heated as the seconds passed.

Colby pulled Matilda closer until her body was pressed against his as her hands slid up his shirt, feeling the contours of his stomach. Colby groaned slightly at her touch and slid his hands down to cup Matilda's arse and lift her up. She hooked her legs around his waist, tilting her head back as Colby's kisses trailed down her jawline to her neck.

Colby walked forward, pressing Matilda's back against the hard wall, his fingers then gliding under her top, sending shivers up Matilda's spine.

"I want you so bad," murmured Colby, pressing his groin against Matilda's core to express just how much he did.

"You can have me," replied Matilda, looking Colby in the eyes.

Matilda ran down the corridor an hour later. A crew member spotted her and yelled out to Jon.

"Where the hell have you been?" he said in irritation.

"Sorry… sorry," muttered Matilda as Colby walked casually around the corner, "So I'm being tied to a chair and made to watch this match, right?"

Jon nodded glancing between the two, frowning as Colby pressed a kiss to Matilda's bare shoulder before leaving to make his entrance for the main event.

"Well that's easy then," said Matilda brightly – almost too brightly, as if she was guilty of something.

"Yeah," muttered Jon, looking away.

"Jon! Jon!"

Jon turned around as Matilda ran up to him as she left the hotel's gym.

"Have I done something… anything to piss you off?"

Jon shook his head no and turned to walk but Matilda touched his arm. He looked at her hand and then her face, his blue eyes looking at her light brown ones in confusion.

"We were fine… and now it's like I've hurt you… and if I have then I am so sorry, Jon."

His expression softened and he took a slight step towards her, "It's fine Mattie. I'm just… confused. I just need space and time to, you know, be all moody and gloomy."

Matilda nodded and hugged Jon unexpectedly, "I'm here if you need me, Jon."

Leaning back, she pecked Jon on the cheek. His grip on her seemed to increase before he suddenly released her and strode away at a quick pace.

Matilda didn't see Jon again until that Monday in Texas. She arrived at the stadium with Colby, but Colby had a meet and greet to do and the pair went separate ways.

"Brie!" called Matilda spotting the diva with her husband.

Brie said something to Bryan and walked towards Matilda with a smile, "Hey girl."

"Hey… is Renee okay?"

"She's a bit of a mess but feels it's what's right for her and Jon. How is Jon?"

"Moody and whatnot. He needs time to himself."

Brie nodded, "They were opposites you know… like they say opposites attract but sometimes I think that's not the case. You need those things in common to bond over to begin with. Renee and Jon were all flirty and hormones."

Matilda nodded thinking of her relationship with Colby – was it all flirting and hormone driven? At the moment whenever they were alone it was sex, sex and more sex.

"Hey I have to go see wardrobe about one of my outfits. We'll have to get coffee together soon," said Brie before she left.

Matilda wandered to the locker rooms and slowly prepared for the show. She went to make-up and hair where her hair was kept natural and simply tied back. Once done, Matilda headed for the guerrilla area, spotting Jon walking ahead of her with Joe. Instead of making herself known she remained quiet, slipping into the guerrilla area a few moments after Jon and Joe had.

Matilda pulled her jumper off but didn't add the poncho or shawl.

"You guys ready?" asked a production crew member.

"Where's Mattie?" asked Joe.

"Here," said Matilda with a wave as she slowly walked over, careful to not look at Jon.

"You okay?" asked Joe, looking at her with a slight frown.

Matilda nodded and flashed him a smile, "Perfect."

Dean Ambrose's music hit and he walked out, a firm grip on Sister Abigail's arm. He was the only one leading her this time but instead of taking her into the ring he led her ring side with Randy setting a chair up. Dean made Abigail sit down talking to Randy to keep an eye on her as he and Roman Reigns had a match against two member of The New Day.

"It's a New Day, yes it is!"

Sister Abigail sat in her chair, staring at the ring with Randy standing beside her, his arms crossed. In the ring, Dean and Roman discussed the match, each of them shooting furtive glances at Abigail.

Soon the match was under way with Dean starting off against Kofi Kingston. It was fast paced with it continuously going back and forth. Xavier Woods kept walking over, mouthing off at Randy and blowing his trombone towards Abigail.

As Roman stepped in, over powering Big E and set to win the match the lights went out and flickered back on. Standing at the end of the ramp stood Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Braun Stowman. Abigail stood up but Randy grabbed her, as Big E went for a sneak attack. Roman saw it and speared him, keeping his eyes on the Wyatt's as he won the match and stood up, shoving Big E away.

"She belongs with us!" yelled Bray, pointing at Abigail, "She is our Sister Abigail! Ours!"

Dean shook his head and pointed to himself, "She's with me now!"

Randy pulled Abigail back, making a bee line for the barricade near the commentator's desk. Roman spoke to Dean who nodded. They walked backwards looking as though they were following Randy when they both ran forward and dived out of the ring, tackling the Wyatt's to the ground.

"No!" yelled Abigail managing to break from Randy's hold and running towards her fallen family.

Dean stood up and grabbed Abigail, ignoring her struggling as he yelled, "You want Nikki Bella?"

Abigail stopped and looked at Dean who looked back at her. The stare lingered until Roman gave Dean a shove towards the barricade that got the group moving again.

The stare wasn't scripted. Matilda knew that. Jon knew that. Joe and Randy both knew it also. Creative loved it.

Matilda rubbed her face tiredly as she exited the arena. She couldn't even go back to the hotel, having to drive to Austin.

"Need a driving buddy?"

Matilda turned to see Jon standing by her car, "I have Colby."

"He left already."

Matilda frowned and pulled her phone from a bag seeing a text from him.

Had to leave early. Got press tomorrow. Xx

Matilda sighed in irritation, "What about Joe?"

"With his cousins. Plus it's late, so there's no way I can let you drive alone."

Matilda smiled gratefully at Jon and used her keys to pop the boot open. They put their gear in and Jon shut the boot as Matilda got in the car. Jon was soon in and within minutes they were on the highway heading towards Austin.

"Can I say something?" said Matilda hesitantly.

"Shoot."

"Renee is stupid to end it with you… you, Jon Good, are a true gentleman – regardless of what you think of yourself."

Jon shrugged, "If you say so."

"I do," nodded Matilda firmly as a Paramore song played on the radio, "Oh, I love this song!"

She turned it up and started bopping to it as she drove. Jon watched her in amusement, chuckling when she belted the chorus out, not caring how she sounded.

It was well past midnight when they arrived at the hotel and checked in. Matilda stifled a yawn as she stood in the elevator. Jon stood beside her, looking just as exhausted. Their rooms were funnily enough on the same floor and next door to each other.

"I apologise if you hear my snoring through the wall," said Matilda.

Jon chuckled, "I'll just hit the wall and wake you up."

Matilda laughed, "When I am tired I can sleep through an earthquake… well, at least someone vacuuming my room at any rate."

The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Matilda stepped out first. She walked down the hall and found her room.

"Thanks for travelling with me," said Matilda to Jon as he reached his door, "I appreciate it."

Jon shrugged, "It was fun."

"My bad singing, fun?"

Jon smirked, "Yeah well, I'll bring ear plugs next time."

Matilda stuck her tongue out at him and opened her door, hearing Jon's chuckle as he entered his room.

Colby pressed his body up against Matilda's as he pulled her shirt off, before his lips nipped at her skin. Matilda pulled back and held Colby back with her hands as she looked at him curiously.

"What's my favourite colour?" she asked.

"What?" frowned Colby as he attempted to resume their activity.

"What is my favourite colour?"

"Umm… yellow?"

Matilda shook her head, "No. It's green. What's yours?"

"Does it matter?"

Matilda sighed and moved away, grabbing her shirt from the ground of his hotel room, "If this is a relationship, then yes it does matter, Colby. If this is just friends with benefits then no… not really."

She heard Colby sigh and turned to face him. He was looking at his phone and texting.

"Fuck this," said Matilda pulling her shirt on, grabbing her bag and leaving the room.

"Mattie, wait!" yelled Colby as she pulled the door open.

"For what? To keep coming second to your fucking phone and work? To you wanting more from me then just a quick fumble between the sheets? I am worth more then what you think, Colby and I refuse to come second best!"

Matilda stepped out of the room, slamming the door shut, ignoring the gawking looks of her co-workers, Joe and Jon being two of them. She walked furiously down the corridor and back into her room, slamming the door shut and flung herself onto the lounge, glaring angrily at the wall opposite it.

Matilda kept her headphones in her ears as she waited backstage at the Smackdown taping and sat in the corridor on the ground. She flicked through websites of interest on her phone, mostly news articles from Australia.

She had avoided company for the rest of the day and driven alone to the stadium. Saraya had sent her a text asking if she was okay, with Matilda answering she just wanted to be alone and contemplate her thoughts before she spoke to anyone else.

When it was time for her segment on Smackdown – a match of her own against Summer Rae – she headed to the guerrilla area, pointedly ignoring Colby when he walked past her.

Matilda put her phone and jacket away and bounced about warming up. Jon, Joe and Randy arrived and neither of them ventured near Matilda at first, however Jon shot her a worried look, tinged with curiosity. Matilda managed a small smile, halting in her warm up to take a shuddering breath.

Joe strode over and pulled her into his arms, hugging her, "You okay, baby girl?"

"I'm fine. Just annoyed at myself more than anything," replied Matilda honestly.

Joe stepped back and the crew member gestured for them to head out.

Sister Abigail's theme played but instead of the arena going dark lights of red and white flashed as she walked out followed by Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Randy Orton. Sister Abigail stopped midway down the ramp and Dean stepped closer, looking at her. Abigail merely smiled at him and continued walking, jumping up to the side of the ring and stepping between the ropes.

Dean, Roman and Randy walked around to the side, all keeping an eye out for the Wyatt's as Summer Rae's theme hit.

Abigail watched Summer Rae make her way down to the ring, all smiles and flipping of blonde hair. Abigail leaned back on the ropes, brushing imaginary lint off of her three-quarter jeans.

The referee signalled for the match to begin and Abigail stood upright and smiled at Summer Rae, tilting her head to the side. Summer Rae frowned at her in confusion, seemingly unsure whether to attack or stay back from the crazed diva.

Abigail suddenly moved forward and locked Summer Rae up into a headlock and turned it into a running bulldog. Abigail turned, kneeling beside Summer Rae as she covered her for the win.

Summer Rae kicked out and Abigail yanked Summer Rae up and threw her into the nearest turnbuckle. She stepped back a few feet before running forward and slamming her boots into the divas mid-section.

"You're a liar Summer Rae!" yelled Abigail stepping back and analysing the situation.

Abigail marched forward and hoisted Summer Rae into position for her finisher, which she landed perfectly. It was an easy win for Abigail who laughed as she was announced the winner.

Nikki Bella's music hit and Abigail suddenly turned towards the top of the ramp as Team Bella strut out with Nikki holding up the diva's title.

"This will never be yours," stated Nikki, "You're too crazy to beat me."

Abigail ran towards the ropes but Dean had already foreseen that and grabbed Abigail from behind holding her back, telling her to wait for Sunday. The Bella's smirked and walked away as the arena went black. The lights flickered on and the Wyatt's stood at the top of the ramp, looking down at the three men and Abigail.

"On Sunday," said Bray, "Sister Abigail will come home. Back where she belongs."

Dean kept a hold of Abigail. She looked up at Bray, Luke and Braun with wide eyes before slowly turning to look at Dean, who had been flanked by Roman and Randy. Dean looked down at her and their eyes connected once again.

"Sister Abigail has a mission Dean Ambrose… and she will fulfil it with the support of her true family!"

Abigail turned from Dean and looked at Bray as the lights went out again.

"Talk about sexual tension!" cried Saraya as she entered the make-up section to see Matilda wiping her face clean.

"Between who? You and Justin?"

"No! You and Jon!"

Matilda frowned and snorted, "Acting my dear."

"He was so having sex with you with his eyes out there! Renee was spitting with jealousy."

Matilda cringed at that, "I'm not a home wrecker."

"There is no home to wreck! They are over!"

"It's barely cold and dead, Raya. Besides, Jon and I are just becoming friends. The man still pisses me off as it is and after Colby… I would rather not mix business with pleasure."

"It is shit how things went with Colby… but don't write all potential romances off. It is generally considered easier to date people who work in the business due to the gruelling schedule we have."

"Says the woman engaged to a rock star."

Saraya grinned.

"Look's like we're flying buddies now."

Matilda looked up from her book and smiled at Jon, "I guess so. It could be worse."

"How so?"

"I could have to sit next to you on a ten hours flight instead of a three hour one."

Jon chuckled as he sat down and nudged her in the side, "You like me."

"Barely."

They grinned at each other and Jon flicked on his little television. Matilda glanced at it and gasped.

"No way… are they showing the 1998 Godzilla film? That movie is so bad you just gotta watch it!"

"I know… a guilty favourite."

Matilda grinned, "Same!"

The flight consisted of Matilda and Jon watching Godzilla and debating as to why the movie was so bad they just had to love it. It came as a surprise to the both of them when the captain announced they were preparing to land.

They exited the plane in silence, unsure how to continue the conversation especially as Colby and Renee came into view ahead of them. Matilda was saved from any awkwardness as Joe called out to Jon. Jon gave Matilda a slight wave and she smiled in response, letting out a sigh as he jogged away.

"Can we talk?"

Matilda stepped back from her hotel doorway and let Colby in. She shut the door and walked past Colby over to the lounges, purposely sitting in the single seater so he couldn't sit next to her.

"I'm sorry," said Colby, sitting across from her and looking at her with earnest brown eyes, "This… this thing between us just happened so quickly, you know?"

Matilda gave a nod, brushing a lock of hair from her face.

"I know I put you second best, Mattie… and I am sorry. I don't want to lose you, what we have."

Matilda sighed and looked down at her hands, "What do we even have, Colby? It started out sweet but then it just became nothing but sex."

"I know, I know," said Colby rubbing a hand over his face, "What if we took a step back? No sex… just dates?"

Matilda looked up at Colby. He looked at her, searching her expression for any sign of what she was thinking.

"Okay. Dates – no sex, no hotel room sharing. Just simple dates," nodded Matilda.

Colby's expression broke out into a grin as he reached out and took a hold of her hand, brushing his thumb over her knuckles, "So, shall I organise us a dinner reservation tonight?"

"I… I umm already have plans with the girls."

"Oh," said Colby leaning back, "That's fine. We'll sort something out."

Matilda nodded and Colby stood up. Matilda stood and walked him to her door. Before she opened it, Colby captured her lips in a kiss.

"I'll see you later," he murmured before letting himself out.

Matilda leaned on the door and let out a breath she felt she had been holding throughout the entire duration of Colby's visit.
