I'm updating with a short chapter.
Remember to review if you like it, or it may be deleted.
I appreciate all reviews.
Mike ran down the corridor, he had just won a match against Jack Swagger. It didn't really register though. He burst through the locker room door, causing Cody to jump up from the bench.
The awesome superstar rifled through his bag, finding the device he wanted.
"Nothing." Mike said, looking at the screen of his cell phone.
"Relax, it's been four days." Randy said.
"She promised she'd keep in touch." Mike shrugged, sitting down next to Cody.
"Now, you know how those girls feel." John Cena said from the shower.
"What?" Mike asked.
"The ones you promised to call but didn't." Cena added.
"I really love her though…"
"Have you checked out the website?" Cody asked.
"Yeah. Photos from Edge and Holly's Australian trip." Mike frowned.
"That bad?" Randy asked.
"He's got his arms around her, I can't stand it." The Ohio native shook his head.
"And you didn't have him as a tag partner." Randy added.
"Am I overreacting?" Mike asked, causing the locker room to fall silent.
"Everybody feels differently." Randy said, trying to be supportive.
"If you wanna talk feelings, I'd ask the girls." Cody shrugged.
"You may have a point." Mike nodded, heading to the showers.
After he had gotten showered and dressed, Mike took a walk to the catering area. He scanned the area for divas. He spotted a table with three on it.
"Hey ladies, can I ask you something?"
"Um, sure." Eve replied.
"Is it about Holly?" Jillian asked.
"Yes." Mike nodded.
"She's gone to Australia with Edge and you're missing her." Eve smiled.
"But she hasn't been in touch. She said she would." Mike shrugged.
"Calm down!" Katie Lea said.
"Ok, firstly those press tours are long hours." Eve said.
"Secondly, Australia is a different time zone to us." Jillian added.
"Ok, anything else?" Mike asked.
"Have you considered calling her?" Eve asked, shrugging her shoulders.
"Won't I seem desperate?"
"Maybe she wants you to get in touch first." Katie Lea replied.
"She'll feel special." Jillian added.
"If you wanted to make her feel special, you should welcome her back with a romantic meal." Eve said, stirring her coffee.
"And some flowers." Katie Lea said.
"She's not a diet freak, so maybe some chocolates too?" Eve suggested.
"Best gift a girl can have." Jillian smiled.
"No, the best gift is jewellery, like a ring." Katie Lea said, as Mike had an idea.
"What if I got her a ring?"
"Like an engagement ring?" Jillian asked cautiously.
"No, maybe a commitment type thing?" he shrugged.
"That's kind of like, a teenage thing to do." Eve frowned.
"Why don't you just send her a message?" Katie Lea asked.
"If you tell anyone…" Mike whispered.
"We won't." all three girls replied in unison.
"I'm kind of afraid…of being rejected." He whispered across the table.
"Oh, honey." Jillian said.
"But she's so amazing. Why would she settle for me?" Mike asked.
"Don't be like that!" Katie Lea exclaimed, giving him a playful punch on the arm.
Mike shrugged and stood up from the table.
"Thanks for that." He said, making his way out of the catering area.
Back in his hotel room, Mike checked his e-mails. He was disappointed to see that there was still nothing from Holly. He opted to go out for dinner with his friends.
They went to a small Italian restaurant nearby. Mike sat in between Maria and Randy, who were the people he talked to the most, after John Morrison of course.
"This pasta is immense!" Cody mumbled, wrapping another lot around his fork.
"Do you even have a food you dislike?" Mike asked, sipping his water.
"Actually yeah, green beans, apricots and instant mashed potato." Cody replied.
"Save some room Cody, cause I don't feel very hungry." Mike said.
"Cool." The dark haired superstar replied.
"Aw, honey. Please eat something." Maria pouted.
"He's on the heartbreak diet." Ted said.
"They are still together." Randy reminded his Legacy associate.
"I'm probably dumped anyway. No calls or e-mails. Nothing" Mike sighed.
"Don't say that." Maria scolded him.
"If I was dumped I could accept it." He said, playing with food on his plate.
"So, why are you all depressed?" Cody asked, in between mouthfuls of pasta.
"The fact that I might be dumped, for Edge!" Mike pulled a face.
"He is always checking me out." Melina shook her head.
"He gives me the creeps." Maria said.
"Thanks guys." Mike said.
"What?" Ted asked him.
"My girlfriend is in another country, working with a complete pervert."
"Ok." Ted said.
"If I don't have any message when I get back to the hotel…" Mike shrugged.
"What?" Randy asked.
"I think I might just cut my losses." The Ohio native replied.
"I thought you loved this girl." Cody said, leaning over to take some of Randy's food.
"Maybe I just got caught up in it all." Mike shrugged.
"Sorry about that." Maria smiled sympathetically.
Mike nodded, pushing his food around his plate.
After dinner he walked back to the hotel. It was cold outside, but he felt sort of numb. He entered his room, taking off his jacket and throwing it on the bed. He opted to go for a shower before he went to bed.
After his shower he went to his laptop. He remembered that he was meant to send a message to John Morrison. He checked his e-mail, surprised and curious when a message popped up in his inbox from Holly.
Hey Mike,
It's really nice over her in Oz. Been to a wrestling convention today. Edge is a total creep; he was flirting with the organiser. She was like, forty. Tomorrow I'm going to be meeting some local kids. Someone asked for my autograph today!
Hope you are ok. Thinking of you.
Holly x
He felt compelled to reply. Forgetting everything he had said over dinner. He began typing and then checked to see if it sounded ok.
Holly,
I miss you. Hope you keep in touch.
Mike x
He pressed send. A couple of minutes later another message popped up.
It was from Holly again.
Mike,
I feel bad about this…but there's something you should know.
All I can say is that, I have history with Edge.
Please don't worry. I'll call you tomorrow, so that we can talk about this.
Love always, Holly x
Mike frowned and read it again. Holly and Edge? But surely "history" could mean anything. She wanted to speak to him directly about it, which was always a bad sign. He knew it was too late to do anything else. So he sent back a simple reply and turned off the laptop. Climbing into bed, he could visualise her face. Why did she have to affect him like this? No other girl had had that effect on him.
He realised for the first time, that he felt alone. The room was eerily silent and the bed seemed too big, even for a pro wrestler like him. He could smell the hotel's plug in air freshener, when all he wanted was the aroma of Holly's shampoo. It was as if he expected her to walk in the door at any moment.
"Why do feelings have to come into it?" he mumbled as he fell asleep.
Please review if you like it.
What do you think Holly and Edge's history is?
Sorry it's a short chapter, but I'm having issues with this story at the moment.
