Chapter 13: Surprise, surprise!

It turned out that the event they were attending was a charity dinner featuring a large number of Canadian stars who had donated funds for a children's hospital.

Ashley looked around the walls of the huge room elegantly decorated with great taste, amazed by the number of pictures of those stars with the little kids. They were all sweet and cute but she was touched the most by a couple of pics she found in a corner. In one there was Adam surrounded by at least 10 little boys all excited cause he was giving them every kind of WWE related presents and they were all looking up at him like he was some sort of Santa Clause and he was genuinely smiling. In the one below this he was posing with the same kids scattered around him with happy faces as he had in his arms a cute little girl of about five who was looking at him amazed and he was holding her with so sweetness in his expression that the dirty diva thought it was the loveliest thing she had ever seen.

"Those heels already trouble you?" Adam asked half amused half concerned noticing that she had remained behind.

"Nope, I'm alright." She smiled looking at him as she was seeing him for the first time under a different and definitely better light.

He noticed something different in her eyes and chuckled at her beautiful smile. "Let's go then." He said offering his hand to the punk princess and leading her across the salon.

In the next hour the Rated R superstar introduced Ashley as his girlfriend to several people and she went on smiling at him, holding hands and pretending to be a perfect couple.

"Hey, there's your name there!" She exclaimed pointing at a plaque behind him on the wall.

"Yeah, I know." He smiled as to say 'nothing important'.

"It says that you are the first financier of a hospital project for the children!" She read surprised, "That's… that's awesome!"

"No big deal," He shyly smiled.

"Are you kidding? This is really amazing!" She truthfully smiled.

"A photo of this gorgeous couple, please?" A photographer then interrupted them.

"Sure," He lightly smiled placing his arm around Ashley's shoulders while she placed hers around his waist. And when the pic was taken the world heavyweight champion surprised the punk diva with a sweet kiss on her lips at which she responded before breaking apart when he deepened it. But she had no time to protest cause…

"OMG, ASHLEY!"

"Trish! What are you doing here?" The dirty diva replied almost shocked by having been busted by her best friend.

"I got invited every year, I'm Canadian." She replied matter-of-factly "But let's talk about what you are doing here!" She added with a mischievous grin.

"Hi Trish," Adam chuckled.

"Hey you," She smiled back and hugged him "I should be really mad at you two for hiding an awesome thing like this from me… but since I'm your best friend and you Mr. Rated R superstar are my boyfriend's best friend… I forgive you. –She grinned.

"Is Jay here?" Adam asked. (A/N Jay is Christian Cage or Captain Charisma if someone doesn't know.)

"Yes, he's at the bar as predictable" the former champion informed him rolling her eyes, "go and join him, we have some girl talk to do anyway, right?" She giggled.

"Trish, it's not really like-" Ashley tried to explain but Edge cut her off with another kiss making her know that she should keep on pretending even with her best friend.

"Be right back baby." He flashed a smile.

"So," Trish began literally pulling the punk diva away and sitting at a small table "what is going on here?" She asked with a grin.

"Some kind of charity event?"

"Haha funny hun, c'mon tell me everything!"

"And what can I say? You saw it by yourself." She smiled knowing that unfortunately for her there was no way out.

"I know, I was at least surprised! But when did it happen?"

"You know how these things go… working together on Smackdown…"

"How sweet," the Canadian smiled "I could have never guessed…"

"Yeah, neither could I, trust me."

"So how come that you didn't say anything to your bf? I should be really mad at you now."

Ashley giggled, "It's all so new… we just dated for a few weeks. And nobody knows it at SD! cause you know, working together… besides, I wanted to tell you first and surely not on the phone…"

"So much better now," she smiled "no, seriously hun, I'm really glad you two got together. I couldn't have hoped better for neither of you."

"Really?" The punk diva's eyes widened.

"Sure. You're my best friend and I think you deserve the best." She chuckled, "And Adam is such a great guy… I mean of course you know that, you're his girlfriend! But not everybody gets to know how different he is from his character… he's amazing. I've known him for several years now and I'm really glad you two found each other."

"Yeah, me to…" Ashley faintly smiled feeling uneasy but not understanding what that feeling in her stomach was as she watched him smiling and laughing with Jay.

---

Half an hour later Ashley and Adam were still occupying a table with Trish and Jay. The dinner was almost over and the punk diva couldn't deny that she had had a great time and surprisingly she and Adam had gone along so well pretending to be a couple.

"So I really hope that I can have another title shot soon… after laying my hands on Jillian, of course."

"I know sweetie," Trish nodded "and trust me, you totally deserve it."

"She's working really hard." Adam jumped in with sincerity in his tone that made Ashley blush. "Have you seen her match the other night? She was great."

"You know," Jay chuckled "I've known him forever, he's like a brother to me, but I never heard him talking like this about anybody."

"Apart himself." Trish added making everybody laugh.

"That's good to know." The self proclaimed dirty diva giggled looking sideways at the Rated R superstar.

"You guys wanna take a look at the garden? I've heard there's a beautiful view from the patio." The 7 times Women's champion proposed.

"Actually we should go," Adam said with an apologetic look "you know tomorrow we have to come back on the road and we have to catch an early flight."

"Ok then… but we should see each other more often now that you're together, clear?"

" Crystal." The punk smiled hugging her best friend.

"It was really nice to meet you Ash," Jay chuckled after hugging his best friend "Keep him on a short leash."

"Haha ok thanks, I will." She laughed as Edge rolled his eyes.

"Bye guys and don't be strangers!" Trish waved after them.

---

"I'm sorry Ash I didn't think that we were going to meet someone we knew… it wasn't planned I swear…" He rushed to say as soon as they left the salon, afraid that she might think that he did it on purpose to trick her or something.

"Yeah I know, don't worry." She smiled as he still held her hand.

"Sure? I didn't want to make it more difficult."

"No problem," she shrugged and then added with a giggle "We managed it very well I'd say."

"Oh yeah we did," he echoed amused "The story of how we hooked up out at dinner after your music video thing was great."

"I know," she said with a satisfied smile "You may bow at will."

"Whoa! Fly down punk princess!" He said amused, "Besides we had a couple of good moments to tell them anyway."

"Yeah… just editing them by eliminating our fights." She giggled.

"Ok well… that's right but we do have our moments." He concluded with a laugh before they stopped beside his car.

"Yes we do." She echoed almost in a whisper as till hand in hand they got lost in each other's eyes.

"We should go…" He said after a moment breaking the eye contact and unlocking the car.

"Yeah… right." She muttered feeling a little awkward. "I saw it, you know?" She then added with a sweet smile not wanting to forget their night yet.

"Saw what?"

"The pics on the walls… yours I mean, with the kids."

"Yeah, it's not-" He started to say with a shrug but she cut him off.

"It's big deal and that's very sweet of you… just by seeing their faces on those photos they all seemed so happy!" She truthfully said.

"Yes, they're awesome… there's nothing more overwhelming that seeing those kids smiling just because you're here with them."

"Not even being the world heavyweight champion?" She giggled.

"Not even that." He chuckled.

"And do you visit them often? Cause I never heard anything in the locker room about that…"

"Every month. But nobody knows it."

"Why? I mean, it's a beautiful thing…"

"Yeah but if I say it it's like I want to show off or something… which is not what I do it for… it's a good think nonetheless if nobody knows it." He explained.

"Sure, I didn't think of it this way I guess…" She lightly smiled "And… I know I'm not Canadian, but do you think I could come with you next time? If that doesn't bother you of course!"

"Sure, my pleasure." He said with a smile.

"Thanks. So… when our flight leaves tomorrow?"

" 3 in the afternoon."

"I thought you said…" She trailed off confused.

"Yeah I did… but that's no the reason we had to leave early." He chuckled.

"And why then?"

"You'll see."

"And what does that mean?"

"That I have a surprise for you… just wait a little more." He smiled.

"A surprise? Aw sounds awesome!" She yelled excited making him laugh.

---

"Here we go." He announced half an hour later parking the car and literally pulling her out.

"Tell me what it is, c'mon!" She almost pleaded following him.

"Geez punkie you're worse than a kid! Just a moment and you'll see by yourself." He said amused.

"Fiiine!" She gave up as they entered some kind of arena or something…

"Here we are then…" He smirked as after handing two tickets to a security guy a door opened and they found themselves in the middle of…

"The Used's concert! OMG!" Ashley squealed as her eyes widened in astonishment.

"Surprise." He chuckled.

"I can't believe it… OMG!" She said excited throwing her arms around his neck, "Thank you so much!!!"

"You're welcome." He sincerely smiled hugging her back.

"They're absolutely my fav band!" She continued pulling apart "But how could you know?"

"Maybe it's no true that I don't know you at all…" He teased referring to one of their worst arguments and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah," she smiled truly amazed "but I read that it was sold out…"

"I just made a couple of calls." He shyly shrugged.

"But…"

"C'mon now," he laughed literally turning her towards the stage "let's enjoy the concert now punkie."

"I can't believe it!" She giggled overwhelming by happiness.

---

She jumped, screamed and sang the whole time careless of the heels or the dress and he stood just beside her, amazed, as she dragged him in her own world.

"Cool song, isn't it?" She giggled after 'Hospital' from their last album.

"Yep, I like it." He chuckled.

Then the band started a slow song, the last track on their brand new album.

Let me be the one who calls you
baby all the time
Surely you can take some comfort
knowing that you're mine
Just hold me tight, lay by my side
Let me be the one who calls you baby all the time

I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of my days
Now i can breathe, turn my insides out
and smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
Would you smother me?

And then she felt his arms around her waist embracing the punk diva from behind and his chin on top of her head. Ashley just smiled placing her hands on his as they slowly rocked with the music.


So this was what Adam was planning when he read Ashley's myspace! Hope you liked how it turned out :) And in the next chappie we'll see how their night will end...
