"What are you still doing here?" Mike asked me.
"Just working out some issues, you?"
"Oh, just um, just looking for something."
"What'd you lose?" he glanced behind me then quickly looked back to me. I turned around and saw Maryse standing there.
"Oh looking for something? Like a booty call?"
"What? No! why would you say that?"
"I'm not blind Mike."
"You must have a good imagination then because nothing is going on." he leaned in to give me a kiss, I leaned over and dodged him.
"I'll see you later Mike." I walked away and drove home. It took Mike an hour and a half to call me.
"Hi." I said plain, no emotion; nothing.
"Can I come over?" he pleaded.
"I'm kinda busy." The doorbell rang.
"I wanna spend time with you."
"Really?" god I sound just like him when I say that. I opened the door and was shocked.
"Yes really." Mike said standing in front of me in the rain. He was carrying a few bags. "I wanna cook you dinner, watch your favorite movies with you and reclaim my love for you." he said sweetly. I smiled and stepped aside so he could come in. He took his shoes off and put the bags on the counter.
"Let me get your coat." I grabbed his collar and slid it down his arms and off his back. I hung it over a chair. He turned around and wrapped his arms around me.
"I missed you baby." he said. I staid quiet. I still love him, but I cant help being cautious about him and Maryse.
"What's for dinner?" I asked.
"Um, Steak and your favorite, mashed potatoes." he said side tracked by me changing the subject. I smiled and walked over to the bags. "Uh, uh, uh, no peeking! There's also a surprise in there." he said and scooped me up. He kissed my neck and sat me down on the couch with the remote.
I watched T.V as he cooked. My pocket vibrated and it made me jump.
'Hey there ;)' it was from Phil.
'Hi :]' I replied.
'Whats on the agenda for tonight? Want some company, maybe for dinner?'
'I'd love to, but Mike just surprised me at my doorstep. He's making me dinner.'
'..oh...right your boyfriend...'
'Yes my boyfriend. Does that bother you?'
'You know it does.'
'Well what am I supposed to do?'
'Let me take care of it.'
'...I...I don't know.'
'I really think we'd be good together.'
"Hows it smell?" Mike asked from the kitchen.
"Good! Don't burn it!"
"I won- SHIT! fuck, fuck, oh god!"
"Mike!"
"GOT IT!" he yelled. I heard pots banging.
"It's okay if the food is burned, just keep my house standing place!"
"Babe don't worry," he stuck his head out of the kitchen doorway, "I got this!" he went back in and kept cooking.
'Hello? You still there?' my phone buzzed from Phil's text.
'Yeah I'm here. I'm trying to supervise so he doesn't burn down my house.'
'Why don't you let a real man cook for you?'
'I don't have money to go eat at a restaurant.'
'I said a real man, not some guy in the back.'
'Maybe I don't know any real men.'
'you want a real man? I'll come over right now and show you how much of a real man I am.'
'No! I don't want a fight here.'
'The only thing I'm fighting for is you. On my way.'
"Fuck!" I groaned.
"What's wrong?" he asked me.
"Nothing, how's it going in there?"
"Pretty good, um I think I forgot something though."
"What?" I asked walking in the kitchen.
"I cant tell you, it's a part of your surprise."he smiled and kissed my forehead. "Alright. I'll cover this...turn that off...flip...okay." he walked himself through what he needed to do. "I will be right back." he grabbed his coat and keys and walked out. About 20 seconds later there was a knock on the door.
"What'd you forget now?" I asked opening the door. I looked up and saw it wasn't Mike. "I didn't think you knew where I lived."
"I had to have your address to send you those?" Phil looked behind me. I turned around and saw my flowers from him.
"Right.."
"Can I come in?"
"For a minute I guess." I stepped aside and he walked in. In this moment I'm really aware of how much taller he is than me.
"Where's the bf?"
"Just stepped out actually."
"Why do you look so nervous? Do you think I'm gonna hurt you or something?"
"..No."
"You're uncertain? I told you I was coming here to fight for you. I'm sick of hiding in the background." I heard a car door and pushed him against the wall so when the door opens it hides him. I opened the door after one knock on it.
"Can you bring me my other keys. I think what I'm looking for is in the trunk." Mike laughed.
'idiot' Phil mouthed from behind the door.
"Sure." I smiled and walked away quickly to get the keys. "Here ya go." I tossed them to him quickly.
"Right back." he said and jogged to his car. I slammed the door and locked it.
"You need to go!"
"You're denying me the chance to fight for you?"
"At the moment yes!" I pulled his arm and dragged him behind me. He grabbed my waist and hugged me backwards with my backside to his front-side.
"Oh god." I wiggled out and instead of dragging him, I pushed him up my stairs and in the bathroom.
"The...bathroom?"
"Yes. Hide under the sink, I'll come get you later."
"What about the little issue of, me having to pee, or getting hungry? Or hmm, I don't know, if he goes to the bathroom?"
"He'll use the one downstairs. He never goes in this bathroom because its connected to my bedroom. If you need something text me." I shoved him under the sink, turned off the light and walked downstairs. Mike was still knocking on the door. I opened it.
"What happened to you?"
"Sorry I was using the bathroom." he went back in the kitchen and kept cooking. "Baby how much longer?" I asked rapping my arm under his arms and rubbing his chest and stomach.
"About 10 minutes. You hungry?"
"Starving." I said and kissed his neck. Is it wrong I'm like this with him when I have a guy hiding in my bathroom? Technically I'm not cheating on anyone. Not Mike because I haven't even kissed Phil yet. And not Phil because we haven't declared anything. It still feels wrong though. I smacked his but and started to walk away.
"Grabby when we get hungry, huh?" he smiled. I winked and went in the living room. I sat down and flipped over to USA channel. And of course what do I see? RAW. And no it gets better, CM Punk in sitting at the top of the ramp, Indian style, running his mouth about something. I laughed.
When Mike brought out the food I met him at the table. Everything was completely delicious.
"Wow." I sat back setting my fork on my plate. "That was amazing baby." I gave him a kiss.
We walked over to the couch and I laid in his arms. We were at an angle where he couldn't see my phone though. After about an hour of laying on the couch laughing at the T.V his phone vibrated and he pulled it out.
"Sorry babe, I gotta go." he moved his arm and kinda pushed me up.
"What? Where?"
"Evan needs me, he got stood up and he's just a mess." he stood up and I fell backwards on the couch where he was sitting. I got and caught him before he opened the door.
"Babe you have to go right now?"
"Yeah." I reached up to give him a kiss but he stopped me and left closing the door. I stood there about 5 feet away from my door. When I turned around I looked up and saw Phil standing on the bottom few steps.
"Please don't say-"
"I won't." he walked all the way down and walked to me. He opened his arms and instead of him crushing me, I hugged him. This hug was one I never felt from him before. It was loving, gentle, but made me feel secure.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah." I said against his chest. "I guess."
"I need to tell you something."
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
"I just got off the phone with Evan...he's fine." I starred in his hazel eyes. I swallowed the growing lump in my throat.
"What?" I asked with barely any sound.
"Mike lied to you."
"I had a feeling." I looked down. He put his hand under my chin and lifted it.
"Don't let him be the reason you drop your head. Look high, stay positive." he shifted once on his feet then lowered his head closer to mine. I looked up at him. "Say no, I won't." he whispered against my lips.
"Don't you dare back down now." I said quietly smiling a little. He crashed his lips on mine. It was like our lips were magnets only drawn to each other. His tongue roamed the inside of my mouth, I loved the feeling. When we ended the kiss he smiled. I love his smile.
"Call or text me later if you need me."
"You're leaving?"
"I have some cleaning to do. My new girlfriend's coming over in a few days. I want everything to go perfect." he smiled and winked at me.
"She's one lucky girl."
"And the most beautiful." I smiled. He gave me one more kiss then I walked him out. I sat on the couch and finished watching Phil on the T.V. My phone started playing 'Just like you' by Three Days Grace and I jumped to pick it up.
"Hello?" I asked smiling.
"Rey you wanna come with me Tomorrow to Smack Down?" Lorena asked me.
"Sure, any special occasion?"
"Randy wants me to walk out with him!" she said excitedly.
"Aww!" I laughed at her.
"But you'll come and keep me company? Maybe you can walk out with us!"
"No I don't wanna take your guy's moment! But I will come and keep you company."
"Cool thanks! So I'll come get you around 6."
"Alright, I'll be ready!" we hung up.
