Finally Wrestlemania week was underway. We all arrived in Miami for the weeks events. After a few days of all work and no play doing so many appearances, it was time for a little relaxation in my room. I was curled up on my bed reading a book when a knocking occurred at my door. I pryed myself out of bed and answered the door.
"Hey Kelsey!" Natalya chirped.
"Hey Natalya, what's up?"
"Well for starters, you are coming out with us tonight."
"Oh I don't know. I don't think I'm really up for it…"
"Woman, do you not know me? I will be persistent until you say yes. So save your breath and give in now!"
"Fine!," I smiled. "I surrender!"
"Perfect! I will meet you in the hotel lobby at 11." She bounced off down the hallway.
That night
We arrived at the club to see that many of the other superstars and divas were already there. As usual, a few people going out meant half of the locker room showed up. We found a small table and sat down to survey the place. I went to the bar and ordered the first round, a margarita for Natalya, a scotch on the rocks for Beth, and four tequila shots with limes for me.
"Cheers ladies!" I squealed enthusiastically.
"Cheers!" They giggled before taking our first drinks.
"So, I am so excited for Wrestlemania!" Natalya said happily.
"Me too, We are going to wipe the floor in our tag team match!" Beth said back.
"You know it!" They high fived. I laughed half heartedly.
"I'm so happy for you guys. You really deserved a match on the biggest stage of the year! You guys work so hard," I said nicely. I began to slam my shots.
"Thank you…are you okay Kelsey?" Natalya asked softly.
"Oh totally, just peachy!" I returned.
"Are you sure, Newbie? I know you love tequila but damn!" Beth said slightly concerned.
"Yep, I'm fine seriously!" I smiled and slammed the fourth shot. "I'd say I'm down for another round. Anybody need anything?"
They shook their heads no, so I hopped off of my stool and headed to the bar and placed my order. Honestly, I wanted to get away from the table even for just a few minutes. I didn't want to be out much and I surely didn't want to answer any questions about the Dolph situations. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two people fiercely making out with one another. Even in my slightly intoxicated state, I knew that it was him. It was Dolph and Kelly Kelly. My heart felt heavy and I could feel the tears well up. I quickly downed my four fresh shots and tried to walk past them to the bathroom without him seeing me.
"Kelsey!"
"What!" I was close enough for him to see the tears.
" I see you cant-you cant handle a taste, of-of your own medicine." He slurred.
"I wasn't on a date Dolph, I wasn't sticking my tongue down anybody's throat. So I don't know what exactly you are trying to 'get me back' for."
"You are full of it Kelsey. We really could have had something…then you threw yourself at Zack."
"You and I both know that isn't true."
"I should have known better than to mess with a married woman. You never intended on being with me…" He spat. He went back to sticking his tongue down Kelly's throat.
"That is so far from the truth…"
"Really? Did you think we'd live all happily ever after…just you and me…and your husband forever. ..yeah didn't think so."
I shook my head and turned around. I walked back to the bar, ordered another few shots and downed them. I didn't want to go to the bathroom, I wanted to go back to the hotel, I needed to get out of here. Standing at the bar, my head was spinning. Slamming about ten shots over the twenty five minute period of time was proving to be a horrible choice. I stumbled towards the door to go. The fresh air did nothing to improve my mood. My legs were shaky and my head was still fuzzy and spinning. I caught my heel funny on the ground and I fell onto the sidewalk. It was all too much for me. Sobs began to overtake me. I heard somebody approach me.
"Kelsey! Are you okay?" I looked up.
"Za-ack, is-is that yo-you." I sobbed.
"Yeah, its me." He pulled me to my feet and held me up. "What happened?" he asked worried.
"I don't wanna talk about it." He nodded and waved over a cab. He carefully helped me into the car. Instead of sending me on my way, he climbed in on the other side. He helped me buckle my seat belt. He looked at me and wiped the tears off of my face.
"Let's get you home, Kelsey." I nodded and I laid my head onto his strong shoulder and cried. He put his arm around me and my head slid onto his chest, he hugged me, stroking my hair. I must of dozed off because I woke in his arms as he was fumbling with his key card outside his hotel room door.
"You think you can stand?" He asked softly.
"I don't know...I can try." He slowly let my legs drop, still holding my waist for stability. He got the door opened and walked me to the bed. "I don't want to be aloneeee Zackyy."
"You don't have to be alone Kels. You can sleep here tonight so I can keep an eye on you.I want to make sure you are safe."
"Okayy," I said without putting up a fight. The expression on Zack's face showed that he to was surprised I didn't argue. He smiled before getting up and grabbing me a pair of his shorts and a t-shirt.
"Here, you can sleep in these." I grabbed the clothes. I slowly stood up to put the pants. I lifted up a leg to slip on the shorts and fell on the floor in the process. "Are you okay?"
"DON"T LOOOOOK!" I yelled. He burst into laughter.
"Kelsey, I don't need you hurting yourself! Let me help!"
"I don't want you to see my lady partssss!" I squealed.
"We have been married for six years, I'm pretty sure I have seen your lady parts before."
"Okay…. fine, I need help!" He got me all situated clothing wise and bandaged my scraped up knees.
"I don't know what happened tonight, but it's going to be okay Kelsey."
"Pfft, I don't know. Lets not talk about it." I crawled under the covers. Zack began making a bed on the floor. "What are you doing Zackyy?"
"Making a place to sleep."
"Just sleep up here," I said patting the other side of the bed. He looked at me skeptically. I pouted. "Pleaseeeeee, I don't want to kick you out of your bed."
"Okay." He crawled onto the other side of the bed and turned off the lights. "Goodnight Kelsey"
"Goodnight Zack." I laid there for about five minutes, "Zack? Are you awake?"
"Yes?," he asked chuckling. I snuggled up to him, putting my head on his chest. He let me and his arm circled around my back.
"I've missed you."
"I've missed you to."
I lifted my head and my lips found his. He returned the kiss and his hands cupped my face. I got on top of him, straddling him. I deepened the kiss and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer. I ran my hands up and down his muscular body. I broke the kiss to take off my shirt before pulling him into another kiss. He flipped me onto the bed and got on top of me. He kissed my neck and my whole body tingled. He pulled back and looked at me with a smirk. He kissed my neck again and began to kiss a trail down my body, down my chest and near my belly button. I cupped his face with my hands and pulled his face up to mine. We continued fiercely making out and exploring each others bodies with our hands. Things were getting intense when he pulled away and sat up.
"Kels, I-I can't do this."
"What? Whyyyy?" I pouted.
"You are drunk, I don't want to take advantage of you." he said firmly.
"I am your wife mister! I WANT you to take advantage of meee!" He laughed.
"I just can't, not like this."
"Do you know how many married men can't get their wives to have sex with them and here you are, refusing your wife sex!" I said loudly.
"Sorry Kels, if you sober up and still want to be with me, then we'll talk, but I can't do this with you like this."
"Fine, you are no fun!" The room was silent for a minute. "Can you do me a favor?" he was silent. "A nonsexual one?" He laughed.
"What is it?"
"I need Mr. Snuggles!" Referring to my childhood stuffed animal I slept with sometimes.
"Seriously?"
"Seriously." He retrieved my key card from my purse and went to fetch .
When he returned he seemed different, distant. I was too tired and too drunk to really investigate, I was asleep soon after.
The Next Morning
I woke up snuggled in my hotel bed. I groggily lift up my throbbing head.
"ugh."
I forced myself to sit up and saw Zack sleeping next to me in the bed. What the hell is Zack doing in my room? I looked at the nightstand and then over to the suitcase on the floor. This wasn't my room. I realized I was wearing a Zach Ryder t-shirt and his shorts. I sat for a minute puzzled, not sure how I got here. I noticed my knees were bandaged up. Suddenly it all came back to me. Dolph, tequila, drunk falling, jumping my husband, what a fan-fucking-tastic night. I groaned. I slowly got out of bed and gathered my belongings. I was quietly opening the door when he sat up.
"Kelsey, you don't have to sneak out." I stopped.
"I know, just didn't want to wake you…" I said softly.
"Bullshit. You just wanted to avoid this morning awkwardness. Its fine. You were drunk."
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry for last night or sorry you didn't mention you had divorce papers in your suitcase." I closed the door and stepped back into the room.
"Zack…"
"No don't-"
"No, I need to explain. The reason I came to see you that night after so many years was to get you to finally sign those papers. Obviously the Eve stuff happened and I got offered a contract so I don't ask you to sign them." Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Do you still want me to sign them?" He asked quietly.
"I-I don't know." I answered honestly. A tear slid down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away.
"Think about it. Think about what you want Kelsey. I think we could make this work, especially with us both being on the road. I love you, I've always loved you. I've never loved anybody else the way I've loved you. I don't think I ever will. Just please, take your time, just really think about it. Please? We could really do this." A few tears fell down my face.
"I just don't know…" I sniffled.
"We were best friends once and so in love. Don't you remember all the good times we had together? I have known you for almost ten years. During that time we have been through so much with one another. I don't want to throw it all away. We were so great together, we were just young. We are older now, we know so much more about the world. We could really be something amazing again…"
"Okay, I'll think about it." I gave him a big hug and left.
I closed the door, my mind was blown. My life had been such a rollercoaster ride lately. My heart was torn. Should I stay married or get divorced? I didn't know if Zack and I could really make it work. All I knew was that I had a busy few days ahead of me Wrestlemania was in two days…
I want to thank you all for reading and for any reviews. I really and truly appreciate it. =] It means a lot to me that spend time out of your lives to read.
