"Scarlett can you come to my office please…I need a word with you in private" Vince Mcmahon informed me as he walked down the corridor towards me.
"Sure" I smiled letting out a breath and following him to his makeshift office.
"Take a seat" He smiled gesturing to a seat, I did as I was told and began to pick my nails. Vince's presence was always so powerful and intimidating, it was difficult to look him in the eye "I'll cut straight to the chase Scarlett…I've spoken to Lewis and he is denying everything" He explained, I pretended that I didn't already know and the tears that began to fill my eyes helped with that. "Unfortunately this means I can't fire him" He announced a tear ran down my cheek
"So that's it…You're just going to brush it off like it never happened" I whispered wiping a tear from my cheek.
"No I'm going to go over both of your statements and see what I can come up with…For the time being Lewis will be travelling with Raw instead, chances are you will still see him but hopefully not as much" He explained "You shouldn't be in the same place for more than an hour or two" He added.
"Thank you" I whispered standing up and shaking his hand.
"Don't hesitate to call me if there's anything you need" He smiled sincerely taking my hand in his whilst guiding me towards the door.
"Ok" I agreed walking away, once I was far enough away I found a small gap in between two crates I sat down in it and began to sob uncontrollably. Why is this happening? Why can't he just go away? What have I done to him? After a while my mind began to trail off to other matters Adam's a really good kisser and he's got really soft lips I'd say he's better than Wade I quickly snapped out of it and began to cry again, until someone stood infront of me staring down.
"Are you ok there lass?" A man said in a thick Scottish accent as he bent down infront of me. He had long dark brown hair, beautiful deep blue eyes and a cute smile as well as a nicely toned body.
"Fine" I sniffed wiping my eyes.
"Why are you crying?" He asked holding out his hand to help me stand up.
"Just had some bad news" I told him trying to look and sound more cheerful than I felt.
"I hope you're ok" He smiled still holding my hand "Uhhh…Is there anything I can do?" He asked "Take you to a friend…Get you a tea" He offered rubbing circles on the back of my hand.
"A tea would be nice" I smiled "I'm Scarlett Pearce by the way" I spoke, finally taking my hand from his.
"Andrew Galloway" He smiled "Ring names Drew McIntyre" He informed me as we began to walk towards catering. When we arrived in catering a few minutes later it was surprisingly quite, we got our teas and sat down on the furthest table away from the few people that had gathered in catering. "So if you don't mind me asking what was the bad news?"
"I found out one of my relatives work here" I told him, the confused look on his face told me he wasn't quite understanding why this would be bad news "I haven't seen him in years…We've had a really bad past" I explained trying to stop the tears from falling "Vince can't fire him" I whispered.
"That truly sucks" Drew groaned sipping his tea, I wasn't sure how to answer so I gave him a half-hearted laugh and began drinking me tea. "I should go…I have a match in a minute" Drew informed me "Do you want me to help you find one of your friends?"
"I'm sure I can find one of them" I reassured him as we both stood up to leave.
"Well…I think Adams dressing room is just down the hall…You two look to be pretty close" He spoke as we began to slowly walk.
"He's one of my best friends so yeah I guess you could say we're pretty close"
"You looked a bit more than that in the ring" He chuckled heartily.
"It's a storyline" I responded in a frustrated manner.
"Sorry…But it looked like there's more than just a storyline to it out there" He explained.
"Thanks for looking out for me…I'm gonna find Wade" I announced changing the subject. I turned to walk down a corridor when Drew took hold of my shoulder and spun me around to face him.
"Wade Barrett?" He asked.
"Yeah…He's my boyfriend" I answered matter of factly.
"Sorry…If I'd known I wouldn't have said those things about Adam" He apologised.
"No worries…I'll see you around…Thanks again" I smiled turning and walking away.
"Hey Wade" I beamed as he opened the door.
"Hi" He replied bluntly with a stone like expression on his face.
"Is something wrong?" I asked taking a step into his dressing room.
"Yeah the way you had your tongue down Adams throat…That's annoyed me a bit" He growled turning his back to me.
"It's a storyline Wade…You know I don't have those sort of feelings for him" I reasoned placing a hand carefully on his shoulder.
"I get that it's a storyline Scarlett but that's ridiculous" He roared spinning around to look me in the eye.
"Do you honestly think that if I had feelings for Adam I'd be with you?" I snarled.
"I don't know any more Scar…I honestly don't"
"Wade…" I pleaded. "Well if you don't trust me maybe this was a mistake" I whispered.
"Maybe what was a mistake?" He questioned, eyeing me carefully.
"Us" I sniffed.
"Maybe it was" He growled as tears filled my eyes, I refused to let myself cry infront of him so I quickly spun on my heels and hastily walked out of the room looking for the only person I knew could make me feel better.
"Adam" I sniffed knocking on his locker room door.
"Hey…" He began as he opened the door, his happy expression changed to one of concern as soon as he see my tear streaked cheeks. "What the fuck?" He asked grabbing me by the arms and pulling me into his locker room.
"I think me and Wade just split up" I sobbed wrapping my arms around him, he was still in his ring gear so my head was resting on his bare chest. The usual smell of his deodorant and his natural smell surrounded me and I instantly felt like a fourteen year old girl as I tried to bury my head deeper into his chest.
"Why?" He asked soothingly rubbing my back.
"In the ring…Me and you kissed…He didn't like it" I said between sobs.
"It's a storyline…He knows that" He sighed guiding me to the bench and making me sit down whilst he knelt infront of me. His face etched with concern as he took my hands in his and waited for me to calm down.
"He thinks there was too much in the kiss" I explained.
"Well in all fairness that kiss isn't what we planned" He chuckled.
"ADAM!" I shouted angrily standing up and storming towards the door.
"I'm sorry" He pleaded taking my hand in his "Do you want me to speak to him?" He asked calmly pulling me into another hug.
"No" I sniffed placing my hands on his huge biceps "I just want a hug" He laughed as a fresh tear ran down my cheek and I traced his red and black sun tattoo on his upper right bicep.
"You know I'm always happy to give you a hug" He spoke kissing the top of my head.
"Good" I giggled through hopefully the last of the tears as I ran my hand down his arm until our hands were tangled together. Something about the moment felt right and calming. I lifted my head from his chest and still holding his hand I stood on tip toes to place a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you" Adam didn't respond he just looked down into my eyes. It felt as if he was staring straight through me and into my soul. All of my resolve went in that moment and if the locker room door hadn't swung open I have no idea what would have happened.
"Wade" I beamed throwing my arms around him.
"I am so sorry" He apologised wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I thought we were done…I thought you hated me" I cried tightening my grip around his neck.
"Don't say that" He practically begged pulling me into his chest.
"You have to trust me" I spoke into his chest.
"I do" He replied "I just don't want to lose you" He whispered.
"I don't want to lose you either" I smiled standing on tip toes and bringing my lips to his. When I felt his tongue run across my bottom lip I gladly granted him access and run my hands over his rock hard chest.
"Ahem" An annoyed looking Adam said causing me and Wade to break apart.
"Sorry" I mumbled.
"Thanks for being there for her Adam especially seeing as I was being so horrible" He smiled sincerely holding his hand out for Adam to shake but something about Wades smile told me he wasn't being as sincere as he was showing and judging by the look on Adams face, he knew.
"Come on…Let's go back to the hotel" Wade suggested.
"Yeah" I beamed "Bye Adam" I smiled giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek as me and Wade both walked to his locker room to grab our bags and walk to the rental hand in hand.
"Morning" Wade smiled kissing the end of my nose gently.
"Morning" I beamed at him as I snuggled into his chest and took in his scent for a while and for the first time I noticed we were completely entangled, Wades arms were loosely draped around me and our legs were entwined into one big mess.
"It's moments like this that I wish I could last forever" He whispered wrapping his arms around me and rubbing circles on my back under my pyjama top.
"Mmmm" I sighed placing delicate kisses on his well-toned chest.
"I'm sorry about the argument" He said stroking my arm.
"Let's not talk about it" I told him with a smile.
"I have to get ready and go to a photo shoot" He told me as I wriggled further into his chest if it was at all possible.
"No" I moaned like a small child wrapping my arms around his large torso.
"Babe…I have to" He chuckled I took my arms from around him and poked my tongue out at him.
"Fine" I groaned pushing him out of the bed so he hit the floor with a thud.
"That was just plain mean" He chuckled getting up and going to the bathroom to get ready after giving me one more quick kiss. Once Wade was ready and had left I decided to go along to Adams room and see if he would go to the gym with me.
I knocked on the door a few times and stood back waiting for Adam to answer. I watched the door intently as I listened to the shuffling around and then Adams footsteps coming towards the door. My heart began to beat faster and louder, my stomach felt as if it was doing somersaults and my legs began to shake slightly with anticipation What is going on with me?
"Hey Monkey but" I beamed giving him a hug as he opened the door.
"Hi Scarlett" He chuckled closing the door "I was hoping to see you today I wanted to chat to you about something" He told me as he sat down on the sofa.
"Cool what's up?" I said as I plopped down next to him.
"Well it's about that kiss in the ring last night" He began.
"Sorry" I muttered picking my finger nails.
"No listen to me before you start saying sorry" He smiled taking my hand in his "It wasn't supposed to happen like that…But I'm kinda glad it did" He admitted with a shy smile "I've been throwing the idea of having…"
"Tommy used to work on the docks
Union been on strike…"
"Sorry…" I groaned taking my phone from my pocket to find Wades name was flashing across the screen. "Hey" I answered.
"Hi babe I was just phoning to let you know this is probably going to be an all-day thing...I'll phone you and let you know what time I'm done"
"Ok then…I'll see you when you get back…Are you going to be back in time for the coaches to the next city?" I asked feeling slightly down about not being able to see Wade all day.
"Yeah they promised I'd be back by then" He reassured me.
"Ok if you're not back early enough I'll pack for you" I told him.
"Ok thanks…I'll see you later"
"Bye" I smiled putting the phone down.
"Was that Wade?" Adam asked sardonically.
"Yeah…He's going to be late" I sighed.
"Do you want to go to the gym?" He suggested as he stood up.
"Yeah ok…I need to go back to my room and get my stuff" I smiled heading towards the door before remembering that Adam was about to tell me something before Wade phoned. "Wait…What were you going to tell me before Wade phoned?" I questioned watching Adams face as he seemed to tense slightly.
"It doesn't matter" He sighed brushing it off.
"No it does…You were going to say something last week in your locker room but you never did…There's obviously something bothering you so what is it?" I demanded frustrated at his secrecy.
"Seriously Scar…It doesn't matter"
"Adam…You told me I'm one of your best friends and yet you won't tell me what's on your mind" I sighed placing a hand on his cheek, he leaned into my touch and closed his eyes seemingly preparing himself for what he was about to say.
"If you thought you were starting to fall for someone but they were with someone else what would you do?" I suddenly felt a pang of an emotion I couldn't quite place. Am I jealous? I quickly shook that thought from my head No I can't be…I'm with Wade…I'm happy with Wade and besides Adams 38 and thought about how to answer his question.
"I wouldn't tell them…If they're happy then so am I" I stated.
"That's what I was afraid of" He groaned as his eyes filled with tears.
"Shit…Adam…You seriously like this girl?" I asked pulling him into a comforting hug.
Let me know what you like or don't like. :)
