New chapter of Finding Holly. It's a bit shorter than usual.
I was pleased by the response to the last chapter.
Thank you for the reviews. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Mike was annoyed, not because he was sitting at the airport at four in the morning, but that he had not managed to find the person who had made the call and sent the flowers. Holly's flight was due in the next half hour, so he had ended up eating a very early breakfast at the café. He wasn't even hungry, in fact he felt sick to his stomach, although he had not determined whether it was due to illness or his growing nervousness about seeing Holly again.
He was now on his second mug of coffee, which he was sipping in a desperate attempt to stay awake. He didn't even know if Edge was on the same flight as her. The Rated R superstar hadn't been mentioned much since the revelation that Holly was still married to him. The thought of Edge touching Holly made Mike feel sick once again.
The Chick Magnet decided that the coffee had coursed through him rather quickly, so he made his way to the toilets. After emptying his bladder he washed his hands and splashed some water onto his face. There were hardly any people in the airport at four in the morning, so Mike had no distractions, plus he couldn't call John or Randy, as they would be asleep.
"Flight 315 from Sydney will be landing in approximately six minutes." Came the speaker announcement. Mike sighed.
After five minutes he decided to have a leisurely walk to arrivals. There were only four other people waiting there. There was an older couple, a middle-aged businessman type and a student type young woman with glasses and a beanie hat. Mike paced up and down, only looking back up when he heard his name called.
"Mike!" Holly called out.
"Hey!" he mimicked her excitement as she leapt into his arms.
"I missed you." She whispered in his ear.
"Ditto." Mike replied, brushing some hair from her face.
She giggled as she leant forward and kissed his lips. Mike returned the kiss gladly, actually enjoying being able to feel her in his arms once again. He closed his eyes and took in the smell of her shampoo. Unfortunately when he opened his eyes somebody else had appeared. Adam Copeland, also known as Edge. He stood behind Holly with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face.
"Hello Mike." He said, still giving a confident smirk.
"Adam." The Ohio native replied politely.
"So, am I coming back with you?" Holly asked, seemingly in a bid to cut the tension.
"Um, yeah." Mike nodded.
"I'll go get our cases." Edge said to Holly. She only nodded.
Mike kept her wrapped in his arms, as if he were afraid of her being ripped away again. The brunette did not protest though, leaning further into him. The Chick Magnet felt an uncomfortable feeling as he realised there was no way he could lie to Holly. He loved her too much to lie to her. They always say that the truth hurts and he knew that Holly would be hurt to discover the betrayal, regardless of whether he knew what he was doing or not.
"Holly, I need to speak to you." Mike said, his voice shaking.
"We'll have plenty of time for that." She replied.
"It's very important." Mike stressed.
"Ok, we'll talk back at the hotel." The brunette gave a sweet smile.
They walked hand in hand towards the baggage carousel. Edge already had their cases with him. The tall blonde placed Holly's cases in front of her. He smiled as he opened his arms for a hug. Mike silently clenched his fists as Holly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Edge's waist. He enveloped the diva into the hug, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. Mike almost lost his temper when the Rated R superstar gave him a sly wink where Holly couldn't see him.
Mike was far too fed up to confront him. Besides, an airport at five in the morning wasn't the best place to start a fight. Maybe they could settle this in the ring. Holly looked eager to get going, so they said their goodbyes and left the airport.
Mike got into the car, with Holly already in the passenger seat. She seemed slightly quieter than normal, which Mike couldn't figure out. He hadn't said or done anything to Edge, so if there was a problem he didn't know about it. He was fairly certain that she didn't know about Maryse, which he was going to confess to anyways.
"What was Australia like? Mike asked.
"Haven't you been?" she replied.
"Yeah, just thought I'd ask." The Ohio native shrugged
"Mm, it was good." Holly said, staring out of the window.
"Holly, is everything ok?" he asked.
"Sure." The brunette replied.
"Sorry, I just thought you seemed…different." Mike added.
"I'm fine." Holly replied.
Mike didn't want to rock the boat, at least not yet. He stayed silent as he drove back to the hotel. When they finally got to the room, Mike dropped the cases on the floor and sat on the bed. Holly followed him and sat on his lap, resting her head in the crook of his neck. The brunette began to fiddle with his shirt. Now he was going to have to confess all. He pushed her hands away, taking a breath.
"Is something wrong?" Holly asked with concern.
"Holly, I did something really stupid." Mike began.
"Like what?" she asked.
"The other night, I fell asleep and when I woke up I had slept with someone." He said.
"Who?" Holly asked.
"Maryse." Mike sighed.
"You slept with her?" the brunette began to get teary.
"I don't remember it at all. Maryse said that I called out your name." Mike reasoned.
"That's really nice." Holly replied sarcastically.
"No, but I was completely out of it. I was asleep half the time." Said Mike.
"Well, if we're being honest…" the brunette diva stood up and paced the room.
"In Australia, I got really drunk one night. I slept with Edge." Holly sighed.
"What?" Mike cried, jumping to his feet.
"I didn't mean to." Holly sniffed as she started to get tearful.
"Yeah, well I didn't mean to sleep with Maryse either." Mike added.
"It gets worse." The diva whispered under her breath.
"How much worse?" asked Mike.
"I'm late." She stated.
"What?" Mike looked at her in disbelief.
"Maybe it's cause my body wasn't used to the time difference." She suggested.
"Let's hope so, because the other option isn't worth thinking about." The Ohio native spat.
The thought of Holly with Edge's child growing inside her was unthinkable. It would ruin her career if she had a baby now. Mike was confused, but then again, it was obvious that Holly was too.
"If I am, it might be yours." Holly said, stung by his comment.
"Yeah, and it also might be a smug, blonde, Canadian spawn!" Mike ran his hands through his hair, trying to calm down.
"Why are you being like this? You slept with Maryse." The brunette diva shrugged.
"But you know what, even though I was half asleep, I remembered to use protection!" The Chick Magnet shook his head.
"I wasn't planning on needing any!" Holly retorted.
"Oh come on, you're not some…" Mike bit his lip.
"Go on, say it." Holly nodded.
"I don't think you're a slut." Mike said, looking down at the woman whom he still loved more than anything.
The Ohio native paced around the room a bit more, every so often looking at the brunette in the corner. He knew now why Edge gave him a wink. He knew how manipulative the Canadian was, so perhaps he had set Holly up, maybe spiked her drinks? It would be easier to understand that way.
Holly looked upset now, which Mike wasn't proud of. He sat down next to her and held her in his arms for the next few minutes.
"I love you." Holly whispered.
"I love you too." Mike replied.
"But, what about…" the brunette started.
"We'll get through it." Mike nodded.
Were you expecting that?
