Chapter Four: You Woke Me Up

"I know. I know Mom, thank you. Yes, I've got everything covered." Adam discussed some issues over with his mother. It was hours later after his match had ended. He stood outside of the hotel suite on the balcony. He stared out into the big city and got mesmerized by all the lights. The sparkled madly like the stars up in the sky, themselves.

"You sure?" she checked.

"Yes, I've set up her online school, got money covered and people to watch over her when I gotta get out in the ring."

"Okay. I just worry about you." Mrs. Copeland replied.

Adam chuckled. "Mom, you always worry about me."

"Well then, aren't I doin' my job then?" she replied, jokingly.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, quit bragin'." Adam laughed, softly. He couldn't be too loud or else he'd wake up Amy and Kayla.

"Will you at least call me when you need something? Or just to talk. It gets lonely over here."

"I will." Adam said. "Well, I'll try. Kayla will probably doing most of the calling. You know, in all."

"That's not a problem." said Mrs. Copeland. "At least one of you will call."

"Yeah." Adam chuckled. "Well hey Mom, I'll talk to you soon. I'm gonna hit the sack. It's pretty late."

"Alright hun, I love you."

"Love you, too, Mom. 'Bye." Adam replied, pushing END on his phone. As he turned around, he spotted Kayla right behind him. "What're you doin' outta bed?"

"You woke me up." she said.

Adam picked her up. "Oops, I'm sorry baby girl. I was just talkin' to Grandma. She was checking up and seeing if I had everything all set up for ya. You know like, your online school and gettin' food. Oh, and she also told me that she wants you to call her as much as possible. She gets lonely just bein' in Canada by herself."

"Okay, I will." Kayla said, tiredly. "What're we doing tomorrow?"

"Well I gotta run some errands, so you're going to be with Mommy all tomorrow." he told her.

"I'm not going to hang out with you?" she asked, slightly disappointed.

"Just for tomorrow. I promise we'll hang out together, baby." Adam pledged. "Okay?"

"Okay." she said, happy.

Adam looked over at the alarm clock. It was going on 2 AM. "Holy hell, it's getting late. Come on. Time to go back to bed."

Bringing her back to the bed, he helped her under the covers and back inside the bed with Amy. He kissed her forehead and said his good-nights as he went over and slept on the other side of his girlfriend.
