The next morning Nat had a massive headache the minute she woke up, searching her hotel room for her phone she realized she wasn't in her own bed. At first she thinks she must've just crashed at Becky's until she hears snoring, and it definitely wasn't Becky.
Instantly the night starts to come back to her in a flash, the awkward hotel lobby moment with Jon, running into Dolph and Wade at the bar, and the shameless flirting she engaged in with the latter. She knew she was starting trouble flirting with Barrett, he only ever wanted one thing from women but damn was it hard to not give it to him, and turning her head to her bed partner Nat realized she did exactly what she shouldn't have, yup that was Wade Barrett. This was Wade's hotel room and she was half naked, 'shit' was the only thing running through her mind at the moment.
Getting out of bed Nat realizes that her clothes are all over the place, as she puts on her bra she hears her phone start ringing and freaks out when she hears Wade stirring in the bed, her phone slowly causing him to wake up. She wanted more than anything to be able to do the silent walk of shame and hide in her hotel room, hopefully with no trace of Colby in site. She finally grabs the rest of her clothes, quickly throwing her dress on and runs out the door and luckily she realizes she only has to go down the hall, her room not far.
As Nat walks in she notices that Colby is lying awake on his bed, eating cereal and watching TV, not even turning to look at her as she walks further inside. He finally breaks the silence to act like an overprotective father, '..So what'd you get up to last night?' he asks his best female friend, knowing that she didn't sleep at Becky's, having already called the steampunk diva.
Trying to act casual, Nat says that she spent the night at Becky's after a night at the bars, wanting to keep the girls night going as long as possible.
'Huh…that so?' Colby begins, realizing Nat wanted to hide something, and he was pretty sure what.
'Yeah…what?'
'Oh no nothing just. Could've sworn I saw you on this floor late last night?'
'…..So?'
'SO, Becky isn't on this floor…no she's on the floor below so why would you have been up here at all?'
Realizing Colby knew more than he was letting on, Nat snapped and confessed. 'OKAY I SLEPT WITH BARRETT!' She screamed, jumping onto her bed and burying her head into her pillow in embarrassment.
'Okay that was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be.' Colby remarked, amused at Nat's reaction.
Scowling, Nat sits up to tell Colby what happened, knowing he wasn't going to judge her. Over the past few months they'd gotten ridiculously close, and he probably knew her better than anybody, more than A.J., Becky… even Jackie in some ways.
'I may have had a little too much to drink and so did Wade and before I knew it… we were in his room making out! And he's such a good kisser! Like seriously Colbs I was NOT expecting him to be able to – '
'Okay too much information!' Colby says interrupting her, not wanting the details.
'Sorry.' Nat responds with a chuckle. If she was being honest she didn't really mind hooking up with Wade, it was fun. It was more the consequences of it, having to deal with the awkward run-ins, the gossip, she didn't want anyone thinking they were dating because she really didn't need that, any of that.
'Its fine…I'll have you know I had an awesome night myself…arguing with that ex of yours.' Colby began, wanting to let Nat know that she couldn't just ignore the elephant in the room.
Snapping back into reality, she only shrugged, said 'He's your friend, my ex. I don't have to deal with him.' And threw her pillow back on the bed before heading into the bathroom for a shower.
Later that day in the gym…
Jon is training with Joe, waiting for Colby to meet up with them; he should've been there a half hour ago, it wasn't usually like him to be late.
But before Jon could start calling him for the 50th time he noticed the two-toned wrestler walking in.
'And where the hell have you been?' Joe asks, knowing that Jon was agitated enough for the both of them.
'Sorry boys…slept in…' Colby simply stated, hoping neither would push it further, not wanting to say he was really waiting to make sure Nat would be back safe.
Luckily for him neither chose to question him further and the three men went along with their workout for a solid hour and a half before calling it quits for the day. But as they began heading out of the gym, they're met with the laughing faces of Wade, Dolph and Kofi. Colby instantly tenses, praying that Wade didn't mention Nat's name in front of Jon because that was not going to go smoothly.
At first the 3 men greeting the former stable with hellos and small talk, asking if they wanted to continue their workout with them, Jon thought that was a good idea, suggesting to Barrett that they could practice some moves, though Colby knew that it wasn't exactly to improve them and more so to just hurt Barrett, 'God please don't mention Nat' Colby prayed, but he had no such luck.
The Brit started casually talking to the trio about his night out, mentioning he had gone out with Dolph and it actually seemed like he wasn't going to mention Nat's name… until his phone rang and he of course answered but it was what he said next that ignited a silent war: 'Nat sweetheart, how are you?'. The air automatically becoming tenser between all the men as the others turned to face Dean once Barrett walked away.
The call went on for a few short minutes until Wade hung up and walked back over to the boys, only to inform them he would be leaving and that he'd catch up later, leaving with a smirk on his face that Jon did not like one bit. Instantly, all 4 men turned to face Jon, scared of what he would do, but he simply clenched his fists together and began cracking his knuckles, before asking, 'So…I'm gonna go to lunch guys!' and walking out the door without anyone following him.
