Ok… so I officially don't know how to end a story. I couldn't get the idea of continuing this out of my head so here is another addition to Love Games! I hope you like it as well. Oh, and of course, thanks for the reviews, they helped in making up my mind for this one!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Her luck had changed for the worst.

She didn't know why or when it started to happen but it certainly had… and to prove that observation into a valid point she was now sitting in the gym's deserted parking lot of some third world country, locked out of her car and feeling miserable.

It wasn't her fault though; she blamed it all on Brie. But what could she do now? They could only wait for the rental's road service to finally arrive and fix their little inconvenience.

So she waited, sitting on a dirty sidewalk with her back resting against her girl's back while her other friend's head lay on her lap.

Yes, be sexy…

Of course, they weren't actually sitting on the sidewalk; they had put a few towels over it so they wouldn't have to make contact with it. The last thing she wanted was to get sick there.

"If this would have happened at the shopping mall at least we could go inside and do some shopping" The black-haired that sat behind her said dreamily.

Maryse didn't respond at that; after having to wake up way before noon and then getting locked out of her car she wasn't in the best of moods. If she responded she was going to snap and as a rule she tried not to snap at her girls, even when the girl in question was the one that got her into that mess.

So she just quirked her mouth, her manicured fingers running lazily through Nikki's black locks as time passed by.

The worst part of all was that they didn't even start on their work out; hell, they didn't even make it into the gym so waking up early was all in vain.

"If you hadn't left the key inside the car this wouldn't have happened genius" Nikki, the twin that happened to be resting on her lap said and Maryse couldn't help but to nod her approval to that statement.

"Oh come on, it's not like this never happens to you; if my memory doesn't fail me you did the same at the gas station a few weeks ago. At least I didn't leave the car running…"

"No, no mamacita… that wasn't my…"

"Would the two of you shut up already, you are giving me a headache" Maryse complained while adjusting in place her designer sunglasses.

"I have a headache too" Nikki whined and the French Canadian re-assumed the action of soothing her friend by running her fingers through her hair.

She had the beginning of a headache too so she could sympathize, but then again if they hadn't spend the entire night out to then wake up after a few hours of sleep none of them would be in that predicament.

By all rights they should all still be sleeping. After all it was only nine in the morning, too damn early.

Brie hissed. "Yeah that's it, gang up on me… at least I never locked myself out of my apartment while the oven was on"

"Hey…" Maryse started to protest but all of a sudden Brie sprung to her feet without letting her finish; she did it without a warning so the blonde vixen had to regain her balance as to not fall flat on her back. "Brie!"

She turned her head to the side to start complaining to her friend and when she did she wished she hadn't, because now her case of bad luck had just turned into severe.

"Phil!" Brie exclaimed as the tattooed man passed by their side, giving them a quizzical glance. She grabbed him by the arm and thus made him stop his progress. "This is great! Now you will be our savior for the day"

Maryse rolled her eyes and fixed her stare off into the distance, obviously her day couldn't get any worse than this.

Weeks had passed since the incident in the elevator and ever since that day she hadn't seen the man that had caused a horrible lapse of judgment in her… or at least that had been since the day before. Now they were both in a tour overseas, staying in the same hotel and sharing a bus to arrive to the arenas.

"Why is that?" Phil asked, his tone a bit distrustful.

"Well, I kind of locked us out off the car"

Maryse heard him snort but who he was looking at or what was he doing she couldn't tell, she wasn't looking.

"Is that so?" He said, his tone coming off as mocking to the blonde that wasn't looking. "So you want me to magically unlock it for you? I mean, that I grew up in Chicago doesn't mean I know how to unlock doors with the underwire of a bra"

"Of course not you silly" Brie giggled and Maryse couldn't help but to roll her eyes in response. "We just need a ride back to the hotel; Nikki is not feeling very well and the rental's service is taking forever"

There was a moment of silence, it was brief but it felt like an eternity in which Maryse could feel eyes scanning her.

But really, she was used to that and she didn't expected any less; after all Phil had achieved something that millions of men dreamed about so of course he would be staring at her, in fact she was pretty sure she had been the only thing on his mind as of late.

Freak.

If it were up to Maryse she would rather wait for the road assistance than to leave with that man; but of course she wasn't going to say that out loud because in doing so he would believe that his little stunt in the elevator had bothered her in some way… and of course that wasn't her case, she barely remember it.

"Oh please Phil, please… I think I'm going to die here" Nikki said rolling her head to the side to look at Phil.

Maryse couldn't understand why her friend's supposed boyfriend couldn't come and pick them up. He was in the tour as well but no, it had to be Phil; there were like a dozen guys they were traveling with and the one who came out of that building was Phil.

"Yeah whatever"

Brie yelped in excitement and hurried to help her sister up. Maryse stood up as well, venturing a look at Phil's direction only to see him already walking away.

"Ugh, this is like the worst day of my life" Maryse flipped at her hair while Brie picked up the towels. "And put those in the trash, I don't want them anymore"

"Is not that bad Maryse, at least Phil is here to save the day" Brie sang and then laughed, putting the towels in a nearby trash can as Maryse instructed. "What you need now is a relaxing day at the beach; think about it, sun, nice weather and hot men"

"I'll pass on that, I'll take my hot man but the rest can wait" Nikki complained as they began walking after Phil.

"I won't pass on that, I need to tan" Maryse said, the promise of some relaxation making her feel a little better. She wasn't going to worry about Phil, he was no one, just a guy that got really lucky as to kiss her.

Too bad for him it was never going to happen again.

"That's the spirit! Now let's hurry because Phil is capable of leaving us here"

Brie hurried, but Maryse took her time, parading through the parking lot and flipping at her hair on occasion.

She hurried after no man, let alone after that one.

When she and Nikki finally made it to Phil's rental car Brie was already there, chatting and laughing in the passenger's seat; Phil on the other hand seemed a bit impatient.

Maryse smiled, got in, closed the door and made herself comfortable. Not bothered in the sightless because really, why would she?

"Buckle up" He said while starting the car. "That also goes for blondie back there and twin number two"

Maryse glared at him but he wasn't paying attention to neither one of them, he didn't even spared her a glance when he looked back to take the car on reverse.

Somehow that bothered her; but she did buckle up and so did Nikki. Pushing the thought aside she ran her fingers through her hair and smiled. He was probably trying to act all indifferent while in fact he was dying for another taste of her.

Poor guy; if he wasn't such an ass she would actually feel kind of sorry for him.

"This place is beautiful, don't you think?" Brie asked but before he could even respond she went on. "We love it and I can guarantee you that we are not going to get much sleep in the next few days, there are so many things to do and so much free time"

"I know, I heard there is a huge shopping mall near the hotel, I can't wait to go there" Phil said and once again Maryse could easily pick his mocking tone.

He was trying too hard.

Brie gasped and giggled. "Oh my God we heard that too! You should come with us; we are so totally going over there"

"Aww really, can I? Oh but not today, I need to do stuff… like wash my hair"

Brie laughed and Maryse squinted as her friend's hand went to the raven haired man's hair. "Nah your hair is great; you should definitely come with us"

Phil snorted. "Sounds like fun, but seriously… my hair… besides I don't think your girls back there will like that"

Ha, there it was… she knew he was sooner or later going to try and get her attention.

"Them? Don't mind them, it will wear off. Nikki has a killer hangover and Maryse is always like that before noon"

Maryse's lips parted and she blinked a few times. "Hello, I'm back here listening to everything you are talking and I will appreciate to be left out of your little chat"

"Oh she talks" Phil said in a lower tone but still one that she could easily listen to.

Her traitor of a friend laughed and if it wasn't because she knew her nature Maryse would have swear that she was flirting with Phil.

And if it wasn't because she knew he was doing that to bother her she would have thought he was flirting with her…

"She's mad because the key thing, but hey, she can't say too much because she once locked herself out of her apartment while her oven…"

"Brie!" Maryse called on her friend in a warning tone that made the other woman giggle.

Phil chuckled. "Ops, now she's more mad"

Maryse rolled her eyes and threw her head back, hoping the ride would be over as soon as possible. It was obvious that Phil enjoyed getting her all riled up and she wasn't in the mood to deal with a man that was desperately trying to get her attention.

Fortunately the journey wasn't too long and Phil and Brie changed the subject to some nonsense she wasn't interested on.

Once they got to the hotel and as soon as he pulled over Maryse got out. The others followed, and only because storming out of the scene will give Phil the false impression that he was indeed bothering her she waited for her friends.

What she couldn't hide was the annoyed expression on her face… in fact, her annoyance even showed up in her posture.

"Thank you Phil, I'll call the car rental company and see what will happen with that stupid car" Brie said after kissing the man's cheek.

"Yes thank you Phil, now I need to lay down for a while, see you guys later" Nikki said and started to walk away to hers and her boyfriend's room.

"Yeah, you're welcome" Phil said taking a look at Maryse who remained there without speaking a word. She raised an eyebrow and he grinned before walking away.

He so totally wanted her.

"So" Brie said while entwining her arm with Maryse's and prompting her to walk forward. "What do you say if we put on those new bikinis and make a few heads turn at the beach?"

"You know, I shouldn't even talk to you"

"Why, because of the key?"

"Ugh" Maryse mumbled, her eyes rolling. She chose not to respond that. Brie was lucky she had already taken a liking to her; besides, it wasn't as if she had told her friends what happened with Phil; that was something no one needed to know. "Never mind"

The two of them went into the hotel and towards their room, and once there they prepared and changed into their bathing suits. By the time they were done Maryse's mood had pick up and she was looking forward to get moving.

After all, with all the traveling she did she barely had the time to lay back and enjoy a few hours of mindless fun. It got only better with the fact that the beach was behind their hotel and they only needed to go down to the lobby and exit through the back door.

Maybe her luck wasn't completely lost and the rest of the day will get better; their show was at night and it was still early so there was no need to worry about it now.

So they went out, found a spot and stripped down to the bikinis they had bought exclusively for that trip, they were definitely going to be the high point in the day of many men and why not, some women.

Sexiness has finally come to Puerto Rico… or wherever they were.

Maryse sat down on the beach chair, the day was beautiful and the weather perfect; she could feel the rest of her foul mood starting to disappear.

"Nikki and Dolph should come down here" She said pulling her hair up in a bun so that her back could tan perfectly.

"His name is Nick"

"Whatever"

"Oh look what I have here, I got it at LA" Brie said showing her Canadian friend a bottle of suntan lotion. "And it smells like orange"

"Sexy, give me some"

"Do you girls need any help with that?"

Maryse looked up to see Mike and Zack walking to them, both sporting huge grins on their faces.

"No" Maryse said but Brie was already handing the bottle to Zack and in no time he was applying it all over her back.

"What about you?" Mike asked sitting in the chair with her and forcing her to move over. "Babe"

"Eww get off" Maryse turned to push him away and in that moment she saw Phil walking down the beach with Mickie over his shoulder, he threw her to the water and then got in after her.

She blinked; Phil's words that he had been with prettier women couldn't have referred to that woman. She laughed, no wonder he had jumped at the opportunity to kiss her!

"What's so funny?" Mike asked and she laughed even more loudly.

"You are, now get off my chair" Mike started to stand up but then Maryse stopped him. "Hey, do you find Mikie to be pretty?"

He snorted, sitting back down. "No, you on the other hand are simply HOT!"

"I know, now do get off" Maryse waved him off and took the suntan lotion from Zack's hands to put some on her, then she proceeded to lay down and let her tanning session begin.

For a while she just remained there, bathing in the sun and getting lost in her thoughts. Brie on the other hand went off with the guys to get into the water, she tried to convince Maryse to go with them but the blonde didn't want to ruin her hair that day.

Sea water did some horrible things to her hair and she didn't want to deal with that that day.

"Maryse"

She felt cold hands on her lower back and she jumped, turning around to find a dripping Brie sitting at her side.

"God, you are impossible"

"Come with us to rent a jet ski. All the guys are there it would be fun, please say yes"

Maryse sat and took a look to where the guys were. They were there all right, including Phil. She thought about it for a moment, he liked messing with her and saying how she was all plastic and that he wasn't interested at all in her; but Maryse knew that wasn't the truth and she was pretty sure she could make him falter in front of his little horse face, and that would definitely be fun.

"Ok" She said putting on her sunglasses and standing up. In truth she had no intention of getting in a jet ski, she only wanted to see how long will it take for him to falter… "How do I look?"

"You look hot" Brie said and Maryse smiled. It was perfect.

They walked to the dock and once there they found out that there were only two jet skis and everyone wanted them. The guys, being the immature creatures that they were started wrestling for them and ended up throwing each other off the dock.

Maryse stood aside watching guy after guy getting tossed to the water, even Mickie went down and Phil had been the one who threw her off… now that was interesting. Too bad for Brie that Mike and Zack were the first to go.

"Aww guys, I wanted to…" Brie started to say but Phil grabbed her and threw her off to the water.

Maryse's jaw dropped in disbelieve and she was about tell him a thing or two when she saw his intention.

"Don't you dare" But he did, he grabbed her but before he could toss her she secured herself by holding onto him. She could hold on forever because there was no way she was going to let him or any of the guys toss her off a dock and into the water.

But he had other plans of his own and because her grip on him wasn't yielding he jumped off and took her with him.

Somewhere in mid air he let go of her and when the water swallowed her in she lost her sunglasses. She broke to the surface gasping for air, not only was her hair now ruined but she had swallowed water too.

She hated than man.

"That's it hambones, now I have two jet skis for myself!" Chris yelled from the dock and there were a few protests from the rest of the men in the water.

But no one was more pissed than Maryse, she was fuming.

She swam out of the water and made her way to get her things, mumbling under her breath and seeing red all over. She grabbed her stuff angrily and walked to the hotel's private showers.

Once in she paced for a while before turning on one of the showers and getting under the spray, she hoped the cold water could help her humor a bit.

If that didn't work she would have to break something.

Who the hell did he think he was, first he insulted her to then force a kiss on her and now he threw her off a dock! Oh she was going to kill that good for nothing…

"There you are"

Maryse took a deep breath and then turned around, she knew who it was before having to take a look, there was no mistaking that sarcastic tone anywhere.

He was grinning and holding her sunglasses in one hand. "You left this behind"

She took them and threw them hard against a wall, breaking them with the action. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

He took a step back and held his hands up in the air, his grin however never faded away. "Whoa calm down… I just came to…"

"I don't care what you came here for so get the hell out!"

"Well, you see, I have all the right to be here since I'm a paying customer in this nice hotel"

Maryse stared for him for a moment before deciding that if he wasn't going out then she was. So she stormed past his side, but before she could go any further he grabbed her by the elbow and forced her to turn around.

Maryse reaction was an attempt to slap the breath out of his mouth, but he was quicker and he grabbed her hand to her back.

"Let me go" She hissed and because he wouldn't she tried to use her free hand to achieve what she had failed moments ago.

But once again he was quicker and he was at that moment grabbing both her hands behind her back, making her a prisoner of that unwanted embrace. "You are too predictable; I saw that coming before you even thought about it"

Maryse tried to break free but it was impossible. He was a lot stronger than her. "What's with you?"

"What's with me? You threw me off a damn dock! Oh but I bet that was an excuse to get your filthy hands on me, just like now"

He chuckled. "Not really, we were just goofing around and how was I supposed to know that you were going to flip about it, none of the other girls did"

"I'm not the other girls"

"As for now I can let you go but I'm afraid you will try to hit me and I won't like that… besides, I think you are enjoying it" He smirked, pulling her closer to him.

She laughed a humorless laugh. "You wish, now let me go" She wriggled some more but the more she tried her way out the stronger his grip grew. "Ugh you are such a sick pervert"

He snorted "Me?"

"Yes you, first you force a kiss on me and now you don't want to let me go!"

He grinned, leaning his face closer to hers so that their lips were mere inches apart. "I didn't force anything on you, as I remember it you were not complaining"

She moved her face to the side but his followed her movement, molesting her with his closeness… "You caught me off guard, how was I supposed to know that a guy who's supposed to be a monk or something was crushing over me and wanted me to kiss him"

Phil laughed. "I am not a monk and I'm definitely not crushing over you"

"Of course you are" She faced him, meeting defiantly his olive colored eyes.

With a smile he looked into her eyes. "Get off that cloud sweetheart, you are not my type. I like real women, not spoiled, conceited, plastic girls who think everyone is at their feet"

This time she was the one smiling. "I'm everybody's type. I'm the one you think about when you are with your boring, plain looking woman…

"Hardly"

"Yeah and that's why you won't let me go, eh?"

He let her go and she made the mistake of trying to hit him; he saw it coming but she also saw him trying to stop her so for a while she wrestled with him, she trying to hit him and he trying to get a hold on her. At the end he got the upper hand and had her once again immobile in his arms and now pinned against the tiled wall behind her.

But at least she had managed to connect a few hits on him.

"Ah I hate you; you are nothing but a disgusting pig and a…"

Before she could go on with her rampage he pressed his lips against hers and kissed her hard, cutting off whatever she was going to say.

Her protests were muffled into his mouth as he plunged his tongue right in. It wasn't like that first time where everything was smooth and nice, no… this was different. He was kissing her angrily, and much to her dismay, after the initial shock she found herself kissing him back, matching him movement from movement.

He let go of her hands and grabbed her face, crushing her against him as she moved her hands up to push him away…

Or at least that had been her intention, but somehow her hands ended up tangled into his black hair.

The kiss went on for a while, she was not aware of what has possessed her, he was definitely not a man she wanted to kiss and she hated him, so she couldn't understand why wasn't she pushing him away.

Maybe it was because the way he was pushing his body into hers felt inexplicably good, or because his kiss and the way his hands roamed down her back were making her knees go weak with a feeling she couldn't comprehend… the thing was that she wasn't pushing him off and was in fact encouraging him.

Her body molding to his, her hands pulling him closer… everything had gone to hell and she didn't know how to turn back to reality.

She didn't need to, he did… again. He pulled away from her, leaving her lips swollen and her face flushed; both of them short of breaths.

For a while they just stared at each other, their eyes wild and the moment frozen.

She opened her mouth to say something, anything! But lack of words made her close it again. Nothing made sense…

"Hey guys, you too decided to go back to the hotel, this sun is too much"

That was Mickie; Maryse just stared at her as she turned on one of the showers and proceeded to wash sand and sea water off her body.

"Yeah… I was just leaving now" With that and with Phil staring down to the floor she walked out, leaving him behind but carrying with her the recent memory of what happened with her.

This was all messed up… she was messed up. His little games had to end now.

TBC?
