They left for the arena later on that night. Adam was shocked when Briana showed up. Apparently, Payton called and invited her to the show.
"Payton, why didn't you tell me that you asked Briana to come?" Adam asked as they sat in the locker room.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." Payton said playing LIFE with the guys.
"You should have told me." He said turning to Briana. "But I am glad that you are here. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Okay." Briana said to him.
"Tonight after the show." He said not wanting to talk about this in front of Payton.
"Alright." She replied.
"Guys, we have a match." Chris said to them getting up from the table.
They left and headed to the ring for a battle royal. Briana told Adam that she would watch Payton while they were in the match.
"So, Payton, have you had a good day?" Briana asked her as they played LIFE.
"Yes. I saw daddy hit someone." Payton replied.
"What?" Briana asked shocked.
"We were going to have lunch earlier and daddy hit Matt." She said to her.
"Why?" Briana asked shocked that Adam would hit someone in front of Payton.
"Matt said some things about my mommy and then my daddy. He got mad and punched him." She said moving her game piece. "Uncle John said daddy didn't want to hit Matt in front of me but Matt was being mean."
"John is right." Briana replied moving her game piece just as Matt walked in. He had seen all the guys leave and Briana show up.
"Well, I finally get you alone." He said walking more in the room.
"What do you want Matt, right?" Briana said. She remembered him from the movie.
"I wanted to ask you out and talk to Payton." He said sitting down in one of the chairs.
"I won't go out with you." Briana said just as Payton moved to sit in her lap. She wanted to be close to someone and away from Matt.
"Why not?" He asked getting closer. This cause Briana to get up.
"Because I am dating Adam and I really don't like you." She said walking to the door. "I think you should leave."
"You are like Krissy, way to good for Adam. If you aren't careful, you will end up just like her." Matt said walking to the door.
"Payton, go play with your dolls. I will be right here." Briana said putting Payton down. She turned back to Matt. "Listen to me and hear it. I will not go out with you, I don't like you and you need to watch what you say in front of a child. What is wrong with you? Krissy was Payton's mother and you shouldn't say things like that in front of her. Are you stupid?"
"I was just telling you the truth." He said not leaving yet. "Adam hurts everyone and it is only a matter of time before he hurts Payton and probably you."
"That's it." She said punching him. "Get out and leave me and Payton alone. I won't hesitate to kick your butt and don't think I can't. I am not afraid of you. GO."
"Fine. But I was just warning you." He said leaving.
"God, what a loser." Briana said walking over to Payton.
"Wow, I never saw a girl hit someone." Payton said looking at her.
"I'm sorry. Payton, fighting isn't a good thing. You should always walk away. But sometime you can't and then you have to make the decision to protect yourself." Briana said picking her up. "But you know that fighting isn't good, right?"
"Yes. I will not fight." Payton said just as the guys came in. Payton got down and ran to John. "Guess what, Uncle John?"
"What?" He said picking her up.
"Briana hit Matt." She said to the guys.
"What?" They all said together.
"Briana punched Matt." Payton said again.
"Briana?" Adam asked. "You hit Matt?"
"Yes. He came in here and asked me out. I told him no and that I didn't like him. He then said that I was way too good for you and if I wasn't careful, I would end up like Krissy." She said to him. "He then said that you hurt everyone and it was only a matter of time before you hurt me or Payton. So, I punched him."
"Nice one, Briana." Chris said to her. "I so would have loved to see that."
"Chris." Jay said giving Chris a look. "Although, it would have been fun to see."
"Guys." Adam said before turning to Briana. "Briana, I'm sorry that Matt bothered you."
"It's okay. I'm sorry that I hit someone in front of Payton." She said apologizing.
"Briana, it's okay. I am glad that you were here with her." He said to her before turning to John who had Payton on his lap as she was reading to him. "Payton, we need to talk about hitting and fighting."
"Briana already told me that is not good to fight but sometimes you have no choice but to protect yourself. But that fighting should only be a last resort." Payton said.
"She is right." Adam said glad that Briana talked to Payton. "I am glad that you know that fighting is not good."
"I know, daddy." She said going back to reading.
"So, how hard did you hit Matt?" Randy asked Briana.
"Hard enough, I guess." She replied. "I told him to leave me and Payton alone or I wouldn't hesitate to kick his butt. And that I wasn't afraid of him."
"Nice one, Briana." Jay said. "Adam, definitely don't let this one go. I better go. Later, angelfish." He said kissing Payton on the head. He saw the look Adam was giving him.
"Well, sunshine, how would you like to hang out with me tonight and let your dad and Briana go have dinner?" John asked Payton. He knew that Adam wanted to talk to Briana.
"I love too. Can I daddy?" Payton asked.
"Yes. Just behave." Adam said to her.
"Don't worry." John said. "Now, after I change, we will go, sunshine."
"Yay!" She said getting off his lap and going over to Briana.
The guys got showered and changed and then headed to the hotel. Adam and Briana headed out to the restaurant.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Briana asked as they were having dinner.
"I am ready to move on." He said to her. "I mean, really move on and I hope that is with you."
"What changed?" She asked him. "Not that I don't want to be with you because I do, I just am wondering."
"The other night after our date, I had a dream where Krissy came to me and told me it was time. That I needed to move on and I realized that she was right." He said to her. "I hope that doesn't sound weird."
"It doesn't. I am happy that she gave you the closure you needed." She said taking his hand. "And I am happy that you want to move on."
"I know it doesn't make sense but she told me that moving on with you was what she wanted. That it was time I did." He replied to her. "And I agree. Briana, I want to move on with you and I hope you want that too."
"I do. I want us to see where this goes." She said as the waiter brought the check. "Now, I am sure that Payton wants to see you before she goes to sleep."
"I doubt that. She is happy because she is with her favorite guy. Will her crush on John ever go away?" He asked her as they got up.
"It will but she will always feel that little crush." She said as they walked to the car. "And he will probably always be one of her favorite guys."
"Yeah." He said as they drove to the hotel. He wondered if it was time to take the next step with her. He knew that John wouldn't mind having Payton but he was a little unsure about taking it with her.
They got back to the hotel and he waked her to her room. He knew it was time to make the decision about the next step.
"I am glad I came and that we went out. It was a great date." Briana said getting her key card out.
"It was a great date. I hope we can have more." He said.
"I do too." She replied opening the door.
He decided it was time to take the step with her and it didn't feel like cheating at all, it felt right. He kissed her just as she turned around from opening the door.
"Are you sure about this?" She asked pulling away. "Because nothing needs to be rushed at all."
"I am sure about this." He said kissing her again. He walked them into the room.
"You should call John." She said once they were inside.
"Right." He said getting his phone. He called John and asked him to keep Payton for the night. "Now, where were we?"
"Right here." She said kissing him.
They spent the night together and he realized that moving on was the right thing. He liked her and hoped that this would be the starting point for them into something great.
