Chasing A Country Girl

Chapter 5: First Comes Friendship

Later That Night

Axel was getting ready for the double date. He was putting on his button up shirt and fixing the cuffs her looked at the tattoo he had on his wrist. He touched it and smiled in the mirror.

"It's time." He said and finished getting ready. The knock came to the door and he went to open it to see Cena standing there read to go.

"You're ready to pick up the girls?" John asked.

"Yeah-he said grabbing his jacket from the coat hanger-you ready to be with Candice?" Axel asked. John smiled.

"You're going to be with Mickie." John reminded him. Axel shrugged as they walked down the hall to girl's room.

"She's just a woman I will be going out so you can be with her friend." Axel said and John laughed.

"Whatever, you want to believe." John said. They arrived to the room and John knocked swiftly.

Inside The Room

Both Mickie and Candice were running as they tried to finish their outfits for tonight I was going to be a simple dinner nothing too fancy. But they wanted to look good Candice wore a simple black dress with dark heels. Mickie wore a strapless purple color dress and silver heels. When the knock came to the door they began hurrying faster.

"There here." Mickie said. They went to check their make-up and grab their little bags before Candice opened the door.

"Hi, guys ready for dinner?" she asked.

"Of course." John said motioning to her to grab his arm. As they walked together Mickie and Axel walked together.

They saw Candice and John flirting in-front of them as they walked a bit farther away from them.

"You think they know that we're right behind them?" Axel asked Mickie and she chuckle.

"Not really." She replied.

"So, how do you feel after everything that has happened this past few weeks?" he asked her.

"You mean the Cody thing." She said.

"Yes." Axel told her.

"I don't know; what to think I'm happy but at the same time; annoyed that he would do all of this." she told him.

"Well you heard the saying you don't know, what you have until it's gone."

"Well he won't have me." Mickie told him but she wanted to change the subject. "So, how come you agreed to go out with us?" she asked him.

"I thought it would be a nice way to pass the time." He told her and then got serious. "That and it was time I came out to mingle."

"What do you mean it was time?" she asked.

"Well I don't come out much and it is time I do." He told her but she knew he was holding something back. She wanted to dig but at the same time was afraid that he would close up again and not tell her anything at all.

They arrived at the restaurant and all four of them got a booth to sit on with the girl's in-front of them. They read the menus and ordered their food and drink before they began to talk.

"So Axel when do plan on cashing in the Money in the Bank?" Candice asked.

"Soon, since Cena is in the running I cannot say when." He said.

"You can give me some heads-up." John said. Axel smirked and turned to him.

"Now why would I do that?" Axel asked. The girls laughed with him.

Their food was brought in and they ate in peaceful chatter coming from all of them and it something they hadn't done in a long time. They finished and the guys paid the girls decided to go for a walk and that was okay with both John and Axel.

Park

Mickie was nervous she could see the moves that Candice was making on John or the ones John was returning but she couldn't make those moves on Axel nor was she sure she wanted to at the same time. She didn't know much about him.

"You seemed quiet." Axel told her. Mickie shrugged.

"I don't really know what to talk about." She admitted. He raised the sleeves from his shirt and Mickie saw the tattoo. "I didn't know you had a tattoo, may I see it." Axel shrugged and gave her his wrist. Mickie saw the tattoo and noticed that it was a cross with names inside of it 'Sebastian' was vertical and 'Abril' was across.

"They are the names of…" she asked. Axel looked at her.

"They're the names of my wife and son." He told her and for some reason Mickie felt her heart shattered a bit.

"I didn't know you were married." She said.

"I'm widowed." He told her and she was shocked.

"Both of them?" she asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"It's okay it was six years ago." He told her.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Accident." He said and continued to walk. Mickie knew that he wouldn't say anything about the subject. She went to keep pace with him and was content with silence she knew not many knew of what he had told her and she felt special even if it was silly.

"You loved her?" she asked.

"We were high-school sweethearts, got married right out of high school. We didn't get Sebastian until two years after." He told her.

"When did the accident happen?" she asked him.

"Sebastian was six years old and I was already making a move in my life from my old life." He told her.

"Everything is okay now right?" she asked.

"Yes." She smiled and didn't say anything. Axel wouldn't admit it aloud but he was really content to have someone to speak of about the accident even if he didn't tell Mickie what had happened.

They walked behind John and Candice and arrived to the hotel. Both John and Axel left the girls in their locker room knowing they would see them soon.

Monday Night Raw-Three Weeks Later

It had been a three weeks after the double date and it had gotten its takings. Candice and John had gone on more dates when they had time and I doing so became according to most of the locker room an official couple. Mickie had been so happy with that news. But her happiness came more from the fact that she had become Axel's friend and only Divas to actually be that close to him.

She had learned some things about him over the three weeks. Like the fact that Axel did drink but only if it was really cold and it was whiskey nothing more. Or that he read most of the time in a way to gain some knowledge r for fun. The main thing she noticed was that he observed more than he let on, meaning that he may seem like he didn't pay attention to the people around him but he did and knew more than people would notice.

Tonight she would see him in the ring taking on Sheamus and that was a big task. Everyone kept asking the same question; when will he cash in the Money in the Bank? No one knew the answer and not even her with the days she spent with him. Talking about the King of Rome he was coming her way.

"Hi, Axel." She said in a very happy mood. Axel turned to Mickie and smirk and in a way it made her nervous.

"Mickie." He said.

"Good luck in your match tonight." She said.

"Thanks." As he left he gave her another smirk and Mickie felt herself blush at that.

"Ooh so you have a crush on Axel?" she turned to see Ted standing there.

"That is none of your business Ted." She replied.

"Oh I know it's just that it seems to me that you are moving to better things." Ted said and Mickie looked at him.

"Shouldn't you be angry because of what Axel did to Cody the other night he is your friend." Mickie said. Ted shrugged.

"In all honesty, Micks you deserved better and Cody was not it." he said leaving her standing with a shock expression.

Match

"Ladies and Gentleman is time for our next match." Cole said. "What do you think of this one King?"

"I think this match is going to be great Sheamus was the WWE Champion before Axel won the Money in the Bank it would great to see what would happen if Sheamus got the Title back and Axel cashed the briefcase with him." King said

"I guess we will see." Cole said.

The first one to come out was Axel to the cheers of the crowd. He got into the ring and gave the briefcase to the ref. Sheamus came out next to a mix. They stared at each other one he got into the ring and were ready for everything. The bell ring and they began with fist fighting before one of them went for the grapple. Axel threw Sheamus into the turnbuckle and began to jab him until the ref pulled him off. Axel returned to spear to have Sheamus move and he hit his shoulder.

It didn't stop him. Sheamus got him and did a supplex. They both fell and Sheamus went for the pin. 1…2…. And Axel kicked out. Sheamus got him up and was about to do another supplex but Axel stopped him. Axel got him and supplexed him instead. He didn't go for the pin though. Sheamus got up and rushed Axel but he got down and took one of the ropes down making Sheamus fall out of it.

Sheamus came back up but Axel was ready and hit him in the middle rope to get Sheamus too bent down. Axel grabbed his head and put his body inside before he'd DDT him on the mat. He was ready and waited for Sheamus to get up.

When he did Axel raised him and dropped him before going for the pin.

1…2…3… and the bell rang.

"Axel won, see Cole." King said.

"That's right." Cole said. Axel grabbed the suitcase and he was about to leave but he went back in and grabbed a microphone.

"Okay a lot of you and the guys in the back are wondering when I plan to cash in my money in the back briefcase." He said and got cheers in the crowd.

"Is he going to tell us?" Cole asked.

"Shhh… let us listen Cole." King said.

"So I've decided I will tell you." The cheers got louder. "I will cash the money in the bank briefcase on the Royal Rumble so whomever the Champion is by that PPV he will already have a contender and it will be me." Axel said.

"You heard that Cole, he is going to cash in on the Royal Rumble." King said.
