Chapter 6: Late night Calls
Adam yawned, resting his head on his arms, turning over trying to ignore the sleeping beast next to him. 'Vickie's snores could wake the dead!' he thought with a sneer, gently slipping out of bed. 'You can't sleep well without Phil next to you...' his thoughts taunted him. He closed his eyes trying to shun the truth as he grabbed his cell phone, making his way out on to the porch/balcony; closing the hotel sliding glass door quietly behind him. He looked down on the city below, seeing the happy couples walking around, seeing them laugh, talk, hold hands... silently envying them.
He sighed before dialing Phil, needing to hear his voice before he could sleep at all, and he needed all the sleep he could get if he was to take on John Cena this Monday at the draft. Ring... Ring... Ring...Ring... Ring...
Adam sighed in despair getting ready to hang up when ..."Hello?"
"Did i wake you?" he asked timidly, chewing nervously on his bottom lip. Phil sounded either tired, or as if he'd just woken up out a dead sleep. "Erm... uh kind of..." Phil murmured tiredly rolling onto his back, pushing the blankets down to his waist, putting an arm behind his head. "...Sorry..." Adam murmured feeling guilty as he took a seat on one of the chairs. " 's Okay... What's the matter? ... You sound tired..." Phil asked yawning. "..."
Phil narrowed his eyes when Adam didn't respond. "Tell me... what's wrong babe? ... Adam..."
"I-I can't sleep... I'm missing you I guess ... is all... Needed to hear your voice..." Adam murmured quietly, licking his bottom lip. Phil detected more, that Adam wasn't telling him. "There's more..." Phil murmured, and it wasn't asking a question, but as if stating a fact. "Tell me Adam... I'll listen... I won't judge".
"... Just seeing all these happy couples... It's ... bothering me..." Adam confessed. "Makes me..."
"Jealous?" Phil finished.
"Well... I was going to say envious... but that works too I suppose." Adam murmured releasing a sigh. Phil nodded his head slowly seeing where Adam was coming from. "Hmm..." was all Phil said. "Yeah" Adam muttered biting his bottom lip.
"Why?" Phil asked breaking the sudden silence. "Because they to get to do the sort of things in public that I have to hide behind closed doors..." He continued as Phil snorted silently. "Well you could hold the Beast's hand in public if you wanted... but then you might get compared to beauty, you, and the beast, Vickie, it. Whatever." he chuckled humorously as Adam growled quietly. "You know what I mean Phil..."
"Yeah I know... but you could change that... if you wanted to that is." Phil murmured quietly. A sudden silence fell over the two before Phil forced himself to change the subject. "So don't you have to face Cena on Raw?" He asked. "Yeah..." Adam murmured clearing his throat. "Get your rest babe. You need it." Phil murmured gently as Adam agreed.
"See you Monday."
"Night"
"Night"
