"Living out of a suitcase…That's me" Adam groaned as we packed.
"Oh shh" I quipped flicking his ear.
"Do you want me to spear you?" He asked with a smirk.
"I think I'll pass" I joked as I dragged my case to the door.
"Don't sass me girl"
"I'm not" I laughed as we made our way down to the bus that would take us to the next place. We had been in Denver for a few days and were now set to travel through the night to Oklahoma. We got down to the buses and I looked at Adam in confusion. "What bus do I get on?" I asked.
"Whatever one has space" He smiled loading his case onto the closest bus, I did the same and we both got on the bus to look for seats.
"Adam" A tanned girl with long dark brown hair with brown eyes to match called as she patted the seat next to her.
"Actually…I was going to…" He started.
"Sit with her" I smiled before walking towards the back and setting my bag down under an empty seat at the back. I got my Kindle out and put in my headphones when after a while I felt a presence next to me, I looked up from my book I had been engrossed in and came face to face with Wade.
"Hi" I smiled kissing his cheek.
"You don't mind if I sit here do you?" He asked.
"Course not" I smiled shaking my head and adjusting my body so I was leant against him. "You don't mind if I lean on you?"
"I'm a big strong man…I'm sure I can handle it" He laughed as I put my headphones back in and went back to reading. After a while I put my kindle back in my bag with my I-pod and leant against the window to get some sleep. As I closed my eyes I felt Wades' pair of strong arms wrap their selves around me and pull me into his chest causing me to quickly fall asleep.
"Scarlett" I heard Wade saying as I slowly woke up.
"Yeah" I answered tiredly as I rubbed my eyes.
"We've stopped I didn't know if you wanted anything" He smiled "Sorry for waking you" He quickly added.
"No worries I'm hungry anyway" I smiled as everyone piled off the bus.
"Scarlett my girl" Heath chuckled giving me a hug.
"Hey" I laughed.
"Come on I'm starving" Justin moaned giving me a hug as we all went to get some food.
"How long do we have?" I asked as I sat down with a coffee and some toast next to Heath opposite Wade and Justin.
"Half hour" Heath informed me as Adam pulled up a chair and sat at the end of the table.
"Hi guys…Good ride so far?" He asked.
"Not bad" I smiled "I slept most of the time…How about you?" I smiled as Adam grimaced and rolled his eyes.
"That girl I've been sitting next to…Her names Layla" He sighed "She doesn't shut up I just wanted to read" He groaned as everyone began laughing.
"I feel sorry for ya" I giggled patting his back as he groaned again "Is there no one you can swap with?" I asked feeling bad for him.
"Nope" He sighed sounding fed up.
"Cheer up we've only got six hours left" Justin laughed, Adam frowned and put his head on the table.
"Isn't there a spare set of seats behind us?" I asked Wade.
"I don't know" He shrugged looking down at his phone not really paying attention. "I'm gonna sit on the other bus for the rest of the journey" He informed us as he stood up and walked out to get his things off one bus and put them on the other.
"What was that about?" I asked causing everyone to shrug.
"Well you can sit next to Scar now" Heath smiled patting me on the back earning a smile from Adam who was obviously ecstatic at the thought of being able to read in peace.
"I'm going to speak to him" I said standing up and following Wade. "What's up?" I asked as I approached him from behind.
"Nothing" He sighed.
"Then why are you switching buses?" I asked.
"No reason" He shrugged walking away, I sighed and quickly began to go after him but as I got to the space between the two buses someone grabbed me by the jumper and pulled me into the small dark space.
"What the…" I began before I see who it was "Alicia" I frowned "What do you want?" I growled going into defensive mode.
"I see you kiss Wade last night around by the pool" She sneered. "I told you to stay away from him" She snapped.
"Nothing's going on" I sighed rubbing my forehead.
"Course not" She snapped rolling her eyes.
"This is your final warning before things turn ugly…I've already warned Wade so just steer clear" She dictated before whipping her hair so it hit me in the face and stormed off. I exhaled deeply and returned to try and find Wade, I quickly found him sitting at the back of the second bus with a book out.
"What's up?" I sighed sitting down next to him.
"Nothing for you to worry about" He assured me.
"Let me be the judge of that" I smiled placing a hand on his arm, I quickly checked we were the only ones on the bus and that no one could see and leant up to kiss him only for him to turn his face away.
"Don't" He mumbled looking down at his book.
"Yesterday you said…" I started but I remembered what Alicia had told me.
"I've already warned Wade"
"I know but things change" He shrugged.
"What has Alicia done?" I questioned rolling my eyes.
"How did you know"? He asked completely shocked.
"She just pulled me to the side and told me things would get ugly if I didn't keep away from you" I told him. "She told me she's already warned you" I added.
"I don't want you to get hurt" He sighed looking deep into my eyes. "Fuck me your eyes are the most gorgeous shade of blue" He breathed making me blush slightly.
"Thanks" I replied biting my lip. "Anyway what has Alicia done?" I questioned again.
"Threatened to make your life a misery…I can't let her do that when nothing's going on between us" He sighed shaking his head. "I know her too well to underestimate her"
"I'm a big girl I can look after myself" I winked.
"Maybe we should be just friends" He sighed "No extras" He added taking my cheek in his hand.
"Ok" I nodded "Now will you come back and sit with me I don't think I can deal with Heath, Justin and Adam on my own…I need a fellow English person to help me out" I laughed taking his hand and dragging him back to the other bus where everyone was waiting.
"You ok man?" Heath asked as we sat down.
"Yeah fine" Wade smiled; Heath grinned cheekily before whispering something into Wades' ear earning himself a 'playful' punch on the arm.
"Oh fuck…My arm….Whyyyyy?" Heath overreacted clutching his arm in mock pain. I laughed and leaned my head against the window slowly drifting off to sleep as the bus started and everyone began to quieten down.
My phone buzzing to notify me of a text woke me up with a start and once I had managed to slow my heart rate down I checked It.
I see you haven't taken my advice. A ;)
"Fuck sake" I seethed closing the text and chucking my phone in my bag.
"Are you ok?" Adam asked poking his head in between the seats as Wade slept peacefully.
"Nothing I can't deal with" I sighed getting my Kindle out.
"No seriously Scar" Adam said in a tone that told me I either had to lie really well or just tell him and seeing as my lying skills were non-existent I guessed it would be best to just tell him straight.
"Alicia seems to have got my number from somewhere" I groaned showing him the text.
"Do you want me to have a word?" He asked concerned.
"Thanks but I'll just ignore her for now…If she gets worse I'll sort it" I winked putting my fists up making Adam chuckle as he leant back in his chair.
"Oi…Monkey Butt" I shouted slapping Adams shoulder to wake him because we were at the hotel.
"Monkey Butt?" He asked with a smirk.
"Yeah…Deal with it" I laughed grabbing my bag and following Wade, Justin and Heath off the bus.
"I'm too tired to do anything" I laughed falling on to my bed.
"How? You've slept like a ridiculous amount" Adam laughed lying down next to me.
"Shut up" I mumbled slapping his arm.
"Thanks" He groaned rubbing the spot I had punched him in "According to John Laurinaitis we need to get to know each other better so lets play a game" He suggested walking over to the mini bar.
"Ok" I smiled sitting up and crossing my legs.
"I don't usually do this but oh well" He shrugged grabbing some shot glasses and gesturing for me to sit on the floor with him. "Do you know how to play Have you ever?" He asked.
"Yeah" I laughed knowing that this game had never ended well for me.
"Good" He nodded "There you go" He winked handing a shot to me "I'll get some questions up on the internet and we'll read them out to save one of us cheating" He smiled getting up a list of questions on the laptop "You go first" He smiled gesturing to me, I thought for a moment before choosing one.
"Ok…Have you ever…kissed someone just to shut them up?" I laughed as we both gave each other a look and downed the shot.
"Explain" He demanded slamming the empty glass on the floor.
"Well…He was my friend at the time and he was talking constantly about how he was in love with this girl that he wanted to ask out and it was really irritating me so I just jumped him" I explained whilst laughing "Now…It's your turn" I commanded.
"Well…Me and some friends were sharing a house and we brought some girls over" He laughed "I was trying to get it on" He smiled "And she was just non-stop talking about how she had had a good night and wasn't sure about having sex with me so I kissed her and we slept together" He shrugged.
"So you was a stud then?" I giggled.
"Oh definitely" He smiled "Anyway it's my turn" He grinned pouring us both more shots "Have you ever…Had a friends with benefits?"
"Yeah" I laughed downing the shot.
"Seriously?" He asked genuinely shocked.
"For a while I did…I didn't want a relationship... I tend to mess them up a lot" I shrugged.
"I know the feeling" He mumbled.
"Ok…Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex?" We both downed the shot and began laughing. We played for a while longer until we began to fill slightly tipsy and decided it was best to stop.
"That was fun…We should actually do that again" He smiled pulling me into a hug, well kind of, he pulled me into a hug but I fell on top of him and I just lay with a leg on either side of him while my head lay on his bare chest. His slow and steady breathing and rise and fall of his chest was calming. I thought Wade smelt nice but this was different, this was just Adams natural smell, it was so subtle and breath taking for a moment I wanted to kiss him into submission but I managed to pull myself together and get off him. However, I still had the urge to smell him so I decided on lying on the floor next to him with my head still on his chest. Adam wrapped his arm around me and rested his hand on my lower back keeping me close.
"Adam…" I smiled looking up at him.
"Yeah" He smiled down.
"How old are you?" I asked biting my lip.
"80" He replied seriously.
"No Adam" I laughed slapping his chest.
"Ok…Ok" He laughed "I'm 38"
"Oh…" I replied sadly as my stomach dropped and I suddenly felt disappointed, I wasn't sure why I reacted like that and I decided to forget about it for now and figure out why later. I thought he was attractive but that couldn't mean I had feelings for him could it? Even though I'd only known him for a few days. Besides that I was beginning to have feelings for Wade.
"What's wrong?" He laughed rubbing my back.
"Nothing" I replied standing up but he grabbed a hold of the top of my shorts and pulled me back towards him as he stood up.
"Why is me being 38 a problem?" He asked folding his arms across his chest.
"I don't know" I told him truthfully.
"Well when you've figured it out let me know please" He laughed pushing my forehead.
"Where you going?" Adam asked as he see me walking out the door.
"For a run" I shrugged.
"Alright I'll see you around" He smiled as I walked out of the room only to be pinned against the opposite wall.
"What the fuck?" I groaned in pain.
"I told you things would get ugly" Alicia warned punching me hard in the stomach.
"Alicia seriously you're a psycho" I snarled pushing her off.
"By the way…We're scheduled for a match tonight" She smiled
"Yeah but I'm scheduled to win" I quipped with a smirk.
"We'll see" She whispered before walking away.
"Psycho" I muttered putting in my headphones and walking out of the hotel.
Alicia threw a punch at me and I quickly ducked, she turned and gave me a sharp kick to the stomach. This girl wasn't holding back, I knew wrestling wasn't fake but we weren't meant to intentionally hurt each other. I moved out of the way when she went to kick me again, I ran and immediately bounced myself of the ropes and landed on her, stood up and then kicked her for good measure. For a split second I had no clue what finisher I should do, I couldn't do the Shooting Star Press because last time I'd tried that I'd nearly decapitated myself. I quickly came up with another idea that I knew would annoy her, I was fairly strong and she couldn't be that heavy right?
Alicia stumbled to her feet and went straight for me, I quickly bowed my head and hauled her up on to my shoulders Fat bitch…she's heavier than I thought. I grabbed a hold of her arm and leg and swung her over my head with a scream, she hit the mat with such a force she bounced and hit it again. I quickly went for the pin and won the match.
"Shit Scar" Heath laughed as I walked backstage.
"What?" I laughed.
"That was awesome" He gushed hugging me.
"Agreed" Justin smiled hugging me as well.
"Stealing my moves?"Wade announced shaking his head with his arms folded across his chest.
"It got the job done" I shrugged with a smile.
"I couldn't have done it better myself" He announced scooping me up into a hug.
"Alright Monkey butt" I joked walking in to Adams locker room and sitting on his lap while all he wore was his ring attire.
"Do you mind?" He laughed.
"Not particularly" I shrugged getting off his lap and sitting on the bench.
"Uhhh…Scar…Can I ask you something?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck and suddenly looking nervous.
"Yeah course" I smiled.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to…" He started, his face bright red in obvious embarrassment and nervousness.
"Adam just spit it out" I laughed but before he could carry on someone knocked on the door, Adams face hardened in obvious anger.
"Fuck sake" He mumbled walking to the door and opening it to reveal an angry looking Alicia.
"What are you doing here?" I hissed.
"Why the fuck did you do that?" She seethed running towards me.
"It's part of my gimmick you fucking spanner" I pointed out earning a laugh from Adam.
"Yeah but you didn't have to do that finisher…It could have been any other one" She snarled.
"If you stop threatening me you might just find that I won't do things to annoy you" I explained.
"You're just a stupid little whore" I closed my eyes and cringed as she said the word whore "Keep away from Wade…I know you like him, I see you kiss him you know that…Don't anger me anymore" She warned. Adams face dropped and for a moment he looked hurt but he quickly composed himself.
"So what if I do like him…So what if we did kiss…You're not even with him anymore" I argued.
"I'm not letting you do this…If I can't have Wade then no one can" She seethed shaking her head before walking out.
"Is he worth it?" Adam asked looking at the floor.
"What do you mean?" I replied.
"It's just I know you like him but is it worth it…To have Alicia causing you so much trouble"
"What is it you wanted to ask?" I inquired changing the subject and turning to Adam and noticing that something seemed to be bothering him.
"Nothing…It doesn't matter now" He shrugged stretching.
"Fine" I sighed deciding it was best to just wait for him to tell me himself. I was about to walk out when Adam grabbed my arm and spun me around, we were milli-meters apart. If I wanted to I could have leant up and kissed him.
"Do you want to come down to the ring with me?" He smiled.
"I thought you weren't allowed to do that" I questioned.
"We're going to be in a storyline together anyway so it'll just get it started" He stated still not letting go of my arm and neither one of us making any effort to further the distance between us.
"Yeah ok" I agreed as we both made our way to the gorilla position, Adam still looking out of it.
"You kissed Wade?" He asked as we stood in the gorilla position and waited for Adams' music to begin.
"Well yeah" I admitted awkwardly "We were sitting on the grass by the pool back in Denver and we were talking…I told him I don't want a relationship so we made a compromise…We stay friends…But sometimes we kiss" I explained.
"Oh" He sighed "I'm not sure what to say" He confessed looking straight ahead as he pulled on his trademark trench coat.
"I'm not expecting you to say anything" I assured him.
"Just be careful…Alicia can get nasty" He cautioned me as his music hit.
"Come on then Monkey Butt" I quipped as we walked out to the ring together.
Sorry I just had to put Monkey butt in there lool
Let me know what you think :)
