Chapter Three: A Strange Turn of Events

I stayed quiet, more than anything I am just freaked out about how quiet he can be because I didn't even hear the door slide open. Clenching my phone in my hand, I did nothing but stare into his greenish-gray eyes for any sign of hope… any sign of Stu.

"I asked you a bloody question, are you just going to stand there and ignore me?" he now demands.

I do not have the strength to fight against him anymore, I cannot take it. Either way I look at it, I am in a lose-lose situation. "Everything's fine," my tone was low but I was being honest, dropping my eyes from his, I swiftly move past him and through the door.

Stu turns, his eyes still beating against my every movement as I sit back on the spot where I had laid moments before and plug my phone back onto its charger. He did not take his eyes away from me while his left hand moved to close the balcony door.

His eyebrows arch as he stood still in his places, eye contact never removed from my image, eyes staring as if he were not blinking. "Is there an issue here?" his sound seems a bit more relaxed than before but I had a feeling that bombs were bound to explode between us momentarily.

I was hesitant, biting my bottom lip in comfort. I let out a small breath and then my eyes begin to travel from the bed sheets, right up to those perfect, mysterious dark orbs of his. "I don't know, Stu, you tell me," I felt sly and confident, as I wait for him to reply.

"I am not going to stand here and play a bloody game of fifty questions," he states.

I could feel the adrenaline beginning to pump in my veins. "Hmm… let me see," I narrow my brows. "Well, how about for the past month you've been treating me like your slave, not your partner," I began. "Or the fact that every night for the past week you've been going out with your crew but have not once spent time with me," Deep down I was beginning to infuriate myself.

I got up and walk slowly over to him. "We haven't done anything together as a couple; you've been so focused on your career more than your responsibilities outside the ring that you've been treating me like garbage," That urge to scream died down and suddenly the massive blur in my vision took its place as the tears overwhelmed me.

"I don't see you anymore I feel like I barely know you at all," the silent tears began to slide down my cheeks, I can't stand this arguing and frustration, I refuse to continue pushing us farther away. "We haven't been intimate in weeks…" My eyes left his as I looked down, this was ridiculous – how could I be stupid enough to believe he would actually care. I whip my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt, "You know what," I say with a slight sob, "…Just forget it." I turn to go and grab a tissue from the box on the dresser and as I am in the mist of doing so, Stu's hand grabs mine. I turn, "Wha –"I was cut off from my lips meeting harshly with his.

I was fighting mentally with myself to push him away but I just couldn't bear to. He drew me in, wrapping me tightly in his arms, pressing our bodies together, closing any open gaps between us.

My right hand grazes carefully over his cheek as I fully let him in and embrace the opportunity. Slowly he leads me over to our hotel room bed as the kissing continues and the clothes quickly begin to shed.

I wasn't surrounded by my love but by his darker ego, part of me enjoyed how assertive he was this way, while the other side tried hard to contemplate on what I'd be putting myself into later on.

=O=

I woke up the next morning, still wrapped closely in Stu's arms. While I lie there with my head gently pressed to his bicep I allowed my right index finger to caress soft circles on his chest. Last night was unimaginable, something I have never felt before in the entire four years I have been with Stu, and it makes the situation now feel totally awkward.

I turn my attention to the alarm clock on my side of the bed, it was half-passed eight AM, which was an unusually time for us to sleep in to; we're usually supposed to be up way earlier than this.

My phone was blinking as well, and when I picked it up I realized it was a text from Clarissa, asking if I wanted to meet her in the gym for a little bit of dance exercises before breakfast. I do want to talk to her though, something about last night made me feel really dirty but at the same time, it excited me.

I gradually broke free from my sleeping lover and before I disappeared into the bathroom to get dressed, my eyes float back over to him; there's just something different about him when he's sleeping that brings out this angelic aura, maybe because he just looks at peace… or because he got lucky last night; ah, Clarissa could quite possibly be right, this could just be a phase or, at least, I hope so.

I grab a pair of yellow sweats and one of his Nexus t-shirts, the soft scent of his cologne fills my senses as I pick it up off of the floor and a smile creases my lips; his scent was captivating.

After a quick, pleasant shower and a change into comfortable clothes, I exit the bathroom to find my fiancé up, leaning against the balcony door frame. "Good morning, sleepyhead," I smile as I embrace him from behind. "Hope you slept alright," I lean on my toes to kiss his cheek, still wrapped closely to his broad muscular body.

"I slept fine," Stu replies softly, the tone in his voice now is completely different from last night.

"I'm having breakfast with Clarissa but I'll be around before noon, okay, so maybe we can do something then?"

"Mhm," he replies. Stu seemed to be thinking intently about something but I didn't bother to ask, instead I brush it off, after all, he's probably still trying to wake up.

"Alright, well, I love you."

It wasn't too much later that I found myself down the hall and in the elevator, pondering to myself about how I was going to explain this one to my best friend; it leaves me a little dazed and confused, so I wonder how it'll sit with her.

As always the reviews, favorite, alerts and all that jazz is much appreciated :D
A huuuuuuuge thanks to XxDiBiase-LoverxX a.k.a my best friend Cristi for finding that info on Wade Barrett and linking it to my FB wall.. I could not figure out what color his eyes were and she definitely summed that up for me, lol xD
