After lots of consideration I am willing to continue writing this story.
I'm having trouble thinking of ideas for this story, so please let me know if you think of anything.
Hope you enjoy this chapter, which is a bit shorter than usual.
Mike was very nervous now. If Holly had history with Edge…it must be bad. He sighed as he lay on the bed in his hotel room. It was boring him to be stuck in the room, but he wanted to wait for Holly's call.
He flinched as the phone began to ring. He answered the call right away.
"Hey." He said.
"Mike, what's going on?" It was Maria.
"I'm waiting for Holly to call." He replied.
"Still?" she asked.
"Mm, yeah." He said.
"Have you decided what to do yet?" she asked him.
"No." he sighed.
"Just remember that we're all here for you." Maria said.
"I know." Mike replied.
"I'll go then." The diva said.
"I'll call you later." Mike said, before hanging up.
He lay back down, wishing away the minutes. He had obsessed over every moment spent with Holly. He looked for any sign that Holly and Edge had known each other. Mike remembered her reluctance to explain how Edge had shut her in a box. It was all too mixed up in Mike's mind.
He had never felt such an instant connection to somebody else before. He was taken by everything about her. The smell of her perfume, the colour of her eyes, the deep cocoa waves of her hair, were all etched in his mind. Why had he fallen so easily? He was the Chick Magnet, not a hopeless romantic. That was how he felt now though. He felt hopeless and lost without that woman.
The phone rang again. This time it was Holly.
"Mike." She said, her sweet voice soothing him.
"Holly." He whispered, wishing he could be there with her.
"I'm sorry I wasn't in touch sooner." She sighed gently.
"I didn't really notice." He lied.
There was an awkward silence as Mike waited for Holly to tell him about the whole Edge situation. He could hear her breathing on the other end of the line. He sighed, causing her to speak.
"I guess we should talk about Edge." She said.
"You talk, I'll listen." Mike replied.
"Ok. When I first started wrestling for WWE in developmental, he was one of my trainers." She explained.
"Right." Mike nodded to himself.
"We never got on. He didn't like that I wasn't all over him, like the other girls. We went on the road and ended up in Las Vegas…"
Mike heard her pause. She started speaking again.
"We had this huge argument, so I went out and got drunk, really drunk. I woke up the next morning with a killer headache and…"
"And?" Mike asked.
"He was in my bed." She finished, cautiously.
"Adam was in bed with you?" Mike asked, raising his voice slightly more than he meant to.
"I couldn't remember anything." Holly defended herself from Mike's harsh tone.
"Sorry, go on." He replied.
"When he woke up, he told me that we had slept together. I was ready to throw him out of the room." She said.
"Why didn't you?" Mike frowned on the other end of the line.
"He pulls out these papers. Turns out we got married in Vegas." Holly replied.
"What?" Mike almost fell off the bed.
"I knew you'd take it badly." She sighed.
"How the heck am I supposed to take it?" he shouted down the phone.
"I'm not finished yet." Holly calmly spoke.
"Oh jeez, there's more…"
"We never actually got divorced." She said.
"Why the hell not?" he asked.
"We couldn't get an annulment, because we'd consummated the marriage." She explained to him.
"Right, ok." Mike sighed.
"I asked for a divorce when we met back in WWE, but he refused."
"Can we skip to the part when he put you in a box?" Mike asked; feeling more confused than ever.
"I caught him hiding your bag. I told him again that I wanted a divorce, but he told me no and threw me into the box." Holly sighed again.
"Then when we got closer, he starts sending me messages." Mike said.
"He wants me back." She said.
"I thought you hated each other?"
"I hate him, but I have no idea what he's up to." She replied.
"Have you spoken to a lawyer?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, but Adam told them that we were gonna make a go of things." She said.
"I'm sorry, I just can't handle all this right now." Mike shook his head as he spoke.
"I understand." She replied.
"Holly, I do love you…" he whispered.
"I know. I love you too." She replied.
Mike hung up, feeling as if he had lost a part of himself. Who needs love when it hurts this bad? He stretched out on the bed where he lay, daydreaming of a simpler situation, where he and Holly could be together uninterrupted. Of all the people it had to be Adam. He didn't blame her for getting married, people do stupid things when they're drunk. If it was John or Randy he could deal with it, but it had to be him…
He decided to speak to his two closest friends, John and Maria. He would call them over to his room. They were always honest and non-judgemental.
He got his cell and sent them both the same message: Come to my room, SOS. Mike.
Maria was outside his door within two minutes, while John arrived a few minutes later. They both sat down on the bed, trying to read Mike's expression. He was good at hiding his emotions. It was impossible to judge how he was feeling.
"Is it bad news?" Maria asked, sharing a look with John.
"Ha! Well I'm pretty sure it's not good." Mike shrugged.
"Tell us, we might be able to help." John said to his Dirt Sheet partner.
"Unless one of you is a divorce lawyer and the other's an assassin." Mike sniggered.
"That bad?" John asked.
"She married Adam in Vegas and he won't give her a divorce." Mike said.
"Why not?" Maria asked.
"He wants her." The Chick Magnet replied.
"Oh man." John said, taking off his signature shades.
"What should I do?" Mike asked his friends.
"We can't make decisions for you." Maria frowned slightly.
"You sound like my mom." He told the redhead.
"She's right though." John added.
"I know." The Ohio native shrugged.
"This may sound stupid, but would you talk to Adam?" Maria asked.
"I would probably kill him right now." Mike replied.
"Good job he's in Australia then." John smiled.
"Have you ever been so in love that nothing stops the intense feelings?" Mike asked.
John and Maria looked at each other, shaking their heads in unison.
Mike sighed and lay on the bed in between his friends. There was still two weeks left of Holly and Edge's trip. He would have plenty of time to plan what he was going to do…
Sorry it's a short chapter.
I know lots of people wanted me to continue writing it, so I wanted to update.
