Thank you for the positive feedback for the last chapter. I really appreciate it.
I was stuck with this one for a while, but I'm happy with it now. I hope you enjoy it too.
I'll try and have the next chapter up sooner.
"Mike you are such an idiot." John Hennigan shook his head.
"Yeah, thanks for the support John." Mike said sarcastically.
The Ohio native had just told John about finding Maryse in his bed that morning. The Honcho of Hotness shook his head in disbelief as his friend explained what had happened the night before. Mike was certain that he was alone when he went to sleep. If he had done anything with the blonde diva, it certainly wasn't very memorable if he had no recollection of it.
"But how the hell did you end up with Maryse?" The Shaman of Sexy asked.
"I honestly don't know. I remember her being in the hallway, but she wasn't in the bed when I went to sleep." The Chick Magnet replied.
"You know if Edge gets hold of this…" John started.
"I can kiss Holly goodbye, yeah I know." Mike shrugged helplessly.
"Then again, she had a secret." The Shaman of Sexy reasoned with him.
"It's completely different." Mike said.
The two men sat in silence, thinking things through before Randy re-entered the room. He took it that the conversation had not changed since he had slipped out for some food. Mike was now wearing his own clothes and cradling a mug of coffee which he had hardly touched since he had made it. John had arrived after a call from Randy, who knew that John was the only other guy who could reason with Mike.
Mike realised just then, that Maryse might still be in his bed. He toyed with the idea of returning to his room, eventually deciding that it was best if John and Randy accompany him. Not for security as such, but more for his apparent inability to resist the French Canadian. Seriously, how could he not remember that?
"I need you guys to come with me." Mike said.
"Why?" John asked, while Randy folded his arms.
"In case Maryse is still there." Mike rolled his eyes.
"I suppose in this case…" John nodded.
"Maybe she's in the shower!" Randy's blue eyes shone mischievously.
"Only one way to find out." Mike shrugged, leading them out of Randy's room.
The trio made their way down the hallway, stopping outside of Mike's room. He sighed and opened the door. It slowly opened to reveal a messy but empty bed. The three men stepped into the room, glancing around for any sign of Maryse. John walked over to the bed, turning back to Mike.
"Well done. Obviously you weren't that out of it." John folded his arms.
"What?" Mike asked confusedly.
"You were safe." The Guru of Greatness nodded slowly. Mike shrugged.
"He means that there's a condom in the trash." Randy interrupted.
"Oh!" Mike nodded, mentally trying to work out how he had found a condom whilst apparently asleep.
"Nice!" Randy smirked, holding up a dark red lacy thong.
"That's not mine." Mike frowned.
"We didn't say it was. I'm assuming that it belongs to Maryse?" Randy replied.
"Mm, yeah I guess." Mike nodded.
The other two men walked around the room, while Mike sat on the bed and let out a large sigh.
"Oh, there you are." Came the unmistakeable accent of Maryse.
The trio turned around to see her emerging from the en-suite bathroom in just a white towel. Her blonde hair was damp and hung down her back.
"Good morning." John said.
"You invited your friends? I thought you were going to buy me breakfast." She smirked.
"Um, no. Here's the thing, last night was…" Mike began.
"It was amazing." The blonde said in that sultry accent.
"I have a girlfriend." Mike said.
"Ha! But she is not here." The diva sat next to Mike on the bed.
"What he's trying to say is that last night was a mistake." John cut in.
"And that it should never be mentioned again." Randy added.
"Oh. You think that you can use me?" the blonde's tone changed.
"No! I don't even remember sleeping with you." Mike explained.
"Charming." Maryse replied.
Mike shrugged as he tried to find a better way to explain his actions. Randy and John looked on, willing him to do the right thing. The Chick Magnet turned to look at the blonde beauty. She raised her eyebrow quizzically. He took a breath and began to explain himself.
"I remember talking to you in the hallway, but I was alone when I fell asleep." He began.
"Of course you were. And then I let myself in." Maryse smiled.
"What?" John and Randy asked simultaneously.
"You were obviously frustrated, so I wanted to help." The French Canadian said.
"So what? You raped me?" Mike was aghast.
"No silly, I woke you and you pulled me into the bed." The diva giggled.
"While I was asleep?" Mike asked.
"Mm, and you called me Holly." The Sexiest of Sexy frowned.
"Hold on. Mike thought that you were Holly when he slept with you?" Randy asked.
"I suppose so." Maryse flicked her still damp hair.
"That changes things." John nodded to himself.
"Yeah, but it's not really a valid excuse for Holly to hear is it?" Mike shook his head.
"The truth hurts." Randy shrugged.
"Can I go now?" the French Canadian asked.
"Yeah, go get changed." Mike nodded.
Now things were even more complicated. Holly would never believe that he had mistaken Maryse for her. Even if she did believe him, surely Edge would twist things to his advantage. Maybe Mike was always going to be the guy stuck in the middle. He only had himself to blame, falling for a stranger too fast. Why couldn't he be more like Randy, or John? It seemed like Mike would be forced to end his relationship with Holly. Too much had gone on.
"You ok?" John asked, placing a hand on Mike's shoulder.
"I'll be fine." He replied.
"At least you got us." Randy said.
Mike heard his cell phone ring. Pulling it from his pocket, he looked at the caller ID and sighed. It was Holly.
"Hey baby." He answered.
"I'm glad I caught you." Holly said.
"Why?" Mike asked.
"We're coming back early!" she answered excitedly.
"Really?" Mike asked, in a slightly high-pitched tone.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see you again." She replied.
"Me either." The Chick Magnet put on his happy voice.
"So, our flight is tomorrow. I'm coming back!" she giggled happily.
"That's great Holly, I'll see you then." He replied.
"Ok, I just wanted to tell you. Got to go now." The diva said.
"Ok, love you, bye." Mike hung up.
Randy and John both looked at their friend suspiciously. Mike nodded, standing up and telling them the news. They both raised eyebrows, seemingly shocked by this new development. Holly would be back in a couple of days. They might need a plan.
Mike was in the training ring with Evan and Randy when his phone rang again. He didn't recognise the caller ID this time. He answered his phone, waiting for the caller to speak.
"Hello?" the Ohio native asked.
"Mike." The voice on the other end spoke.
"Who is this?" he asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know." The voice replied.
"Look, is this important, because I'm trying to train." Mike asked the caller.
"I would say that cheating on your girlfriend is important." The caller replied.
"What are you talking about?" Mike asked.
"A certain platinum blonde, who does not go by the name Dolph." Came the reply.
Mike was slightly freaked out now. His first thought was that it was Edge, but that Rated R superstar always wanted Mike to know that it was him. Anyway, how could Edge know about Maryse when he was in Australia?
"Look, tell me who this is." Mike demanded.
"You know me." The voice said.
"What?" Mike asked, but was greeted by a dial tone. The caller had hung up.
He explained what had happened to Evan and Randy. They were both as confused as he was. Either Edge had spies after him, or somebody was having a joke at his expense. Either way, Mike wasn't going to take it.
After they had finished training, Mike took Evan and Randy to the hotel restaurant. After about ten minutes, Maryse appeared with a note in her hand. She stopped in front of Mike's table.
"Hi." Mike said.
"What is this?" she asked, handing him the note.
He unfolded it and read the printed words.
THANKS FOR AN AMAZING NIGHT. I GET LONELY WITHOUT MY GIRL. X
"This just arrived with a bouquet of purple flowers." Maryse explained.
"I didn't send them." Mike said.
"I doubt that you did, after this morning." She replied.
"Someone must be out to get you." Randy stated.
"I know that. The problem is, who?" Mike asked.
What do you think?
So, Holly and Edge are returning. Who do you think is responsible for the call and the flowers?
