Chapter 15: Misunderstandings

"Ashley wait…" Adam said running after her.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have…"

He gently took her wrist and made her turn to face him again. "Yes, I think you should." He softly said tucking a lock of hair behind the punk diva's ear. He could feel his heart beating fast in his chest just by being so close to her.

"But we are always like… you know how we fight and all! How could we?" She said obviously confused by the sudden change in their relationship and in their feelings.

"I know we can make this work… I'd bet on it."

"How do you know?" She asked biting her bottom lip.

"Because I need you in my life." He simply said and the sound of his words surprised the Rated R superstar himself cause he had never spoken so truthfully to any girl. He just smiled and watched as the punk diva's frown turned up in a sincere smile as well and they kissed again, in the middle of the corridor, this time both feeling that it was definitely the start of something new.

And Adam could have sworn that he had never felt so happy before in his whole life.

The alarm clock suddenly went off and the Rated R superstar literally jumped in his bed, abruptly awaken from his dream. He slowly rubbed his eyes and groaned recollecting what he was dreaming of. "Stupid dreams." He uttered glancing over the bed in front of his where Kenny Dykstra was still asleep and kicking a pair of jeans on the floor as he marched to the bathroom.

It was Friday and they were all back on the road for a new episode of Smackdown. "So tonight I have to meet her anyway." He thought entering the shower and hoping that this encounter would finally put an end to those dreams he was having since that night.

Yes, that night. Differently from his last dream, or all the others for the record, things hadn't exactly gone that way. After their kiss and after Ashley pulled apart he didn't go after her and she went on to her bedroom. Then the day after they just spent the hours before their flight shut each one in his room or, if forced to be together, making awkward small talks but never bringing the subject up. And so when finally arrived at destination they left each other with a casual "See you around."

Why things had gone this way? Honestly he didn't know.

This was now five days ago and apparently that put the World Heavyweight Champion in a limbo. "Idiot," He muttered to himself under the cool water, "She didn't give you an explanation, she left without a word, she didn't call you… just forget her and stop making a fool of yourself."

But evidently his heart didn't feel the same since in the last five nights he had always dreamt of a different epilogue of their night and during the day he surprised himself wondering what she was doing in that very moment; it just seemed that there was no way to keep her out of his mind. There was only one person who could put him out of this situation, and it was the dirty diva herself.

Ashley unwillingly get out of her bed and marched to the door where someone had just knocked on, apparently Michelle McCool had already left the room.

"Hey punk princess… whoa what happened to you?" Paul greeted her first with a smile and then with a concerned look.

"Nothing, why?" She asked genuinely puzzled.

"What are you doing at 10 o' clock sill in your pajamas watching… Spongebob Squarepants?" He said glancing at the tv screen in front of her bed.

"Oh that," she lightly smiled "nothing, I just feel… lazy today."

"Ok… but you have 30 minutes to get ready, we're waiting for you downstairs."

"I don't think it's a good idea, I don't feel very good actually…"

"I insist, no protests accepted. We hardly saw you this week and we need our punk princess. So hurry up." He concluded with a chuckle.

"Fine, I'm coming." She rolled her eyes and managed a little smile as he left her with a satisfied grin.

Then she closed the door and heavily sighed: she didn't feel well at all. And she was like this since four days before. She hated to act like some sort of teenager rejected by the boy she liked and probably she would have never admitted it neither but she had literally shut herself in. No friends, no shopping, no training… nothing and it all felt so stupid now.

"Idiot." She groaned to herself, "So he doesn't want you, what's the matter? He would have come after you or he would have called you if he cared… and apparently he doesn't. And so? I can't be miserable for this, not anymore. I'm not like this." She resolutely promised to herself switching off the tv.

But she wasn't convinced at all in her heart… she couldn't forget how great that night had been and she was sure that it had meant something to him too, she had felt it. So the self proclaimed dirty diva sighed again sitting on her bed and reaching for her cell phone on the night stand. "After all it was me the one who broke the kiss… maybe he's just confused." She thought as she flipped the device open and dialed his number. And then, just like any other time in the past five days, she closed it before the call connected.

"Stop Ash, just stop!" She said to herself in frustration and marched to get ready. But nevertheless she couldn't stop thinking of him.

---

With a last sigh after tying up his shoes Adam glanced over his cell phone abandoned on the bed. "After all I didn't go after her neither… maybe she's just confused by the situation." He thought taking the electronic device and searching for her number in the phonebook.

"What are you doing still there? We're gonna be late!" Kenny protested.

"Yeah, I'm coming." The Rated R superstar reluctantly stood up and followed his roommate after pressing the "Exit" button and canceling the call.

"She would have called if she cared."

"Are you sure you're okay Ash?" Brian inquired after the punk princess as they were sat at one of the breakfast tables of the hotel. "You look…distracted."

"What?" She said coming out of her daze and faking a smile, "Oh no no, I'm good don't worry… I just have an headache."

"Sure? Cause you've been acting a little weird since you came back from that signing." Paul pointed out.

"Have I?" She nervously asked distractedly turning for a thousand times the spoon in her still untouched cereal bowl.

"Yes, you are. Did something… happened while you where away?" Brian uncertainly asked.

She left the spoon to take a sip from her glass full of orange juice and managed a smile. "Nope, what should have happened? I really appreciate your concern guys, you're so sweet, but you're being overprotective… I'm okay, really, I just maybe caught the flu or something."

"Okay then." Brian chuckled as the dirty diva kept drinking.

"You're not… mmm… you're not pregnant, are you?" Paul asked causing the punk princess to spit her orange juice.

"What?" She asked in disbelief.

"I don't know… you've been weird, you don't feel well, you're not eating as you used to, it seems like your mind is elsewhere…" He shrugged.

At this point Ashley couldn't help but burst out with laughter. "Oh my gosh Paul, are you kidding?"

"I guess it's a no then."

"Of course it is," she continued amused "You know I'm not dating anyone!"

"Sorry, just guessing." He blushed making the punk diva genuinely giggling again since days.

Unfortunately for her at the same moment he entered the room and glanced over her table, seeing the punk princess smiling and laughing as usual with her friends. His heart just sunk as he turned his eyes away from her, glad that he hadn't called her 10 minutes before.

"Dude, you okay?" Kenny asked.

"I'm great, why?" He blankly replied. 'Great' wasn't exactly the description of his actual feelings actually.

"I don't know you seem suddenly annoyed about something."

"Nah, I'm okay."

"Anyway cheer up man cause there's a blonde diva coming your way." He smirked.

Adam immediately turned, eager to see the punk princess walking towards him, but he had to hide his disappointment since it was just Kelly Kelly.

"Hi Adam." She giggled sitting on a stool next to him.

"Hi." He reluctantly faked a smile.

"You wouldn't believe what I've just heard!"

"Then don't say it." The Rated R superstar muttered but his voice was covered by Kenny asking what the matter was.

"Well…" she grinned, "Ashley is pregnant!"

"Whoa!" Kenny exclaimed.

"What? Ashley?" Adam asked with a puzzled look trying to hide his interest and his shock, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," she smiled happy to have finally captured his attention, "I've just heard her discuss this with Paul and Brian. Shocking, huh? I wonder who of the two is the father."

But she could share only Kenny's disbelief and comments cause Adam wasn't listening anymore and was glancing towards the self proclaimed dirty diva, at this point unaware of anything else happening around him, with sadness and hurt in his eyes.

"Anyway," the young diva giggled "gossip done, would you like to hang out after the show?"

"Sorry?" The champion distractedly asked.

"Tonight, what about you and me going out?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever."

"Perfect!" She giggled, "See you later then."

"Kelly Kelly, huh?" The younger superstar beamed, "Score!"

But among them, Kenny was the only one happy in that moment.

"Hey stranger!" Layla greeted Ashley approaching her table.

"Hi girly." The punk diva waved back.

"Sorry guys, time for girl talk!" The energetic diva smiled taking Ashley's hand and literally pulling her away as Paul and Brian chuckled.

"What's the matter?" The blonde asked as Layla carried her away and linked arms with her.

"What have you been up to lately hun?"

"Uh… nothing much, why?"

"The other night when you were away I called you but you didn't pick up… maybe you were busy with something or better someone?" She concluded with a mischievous smile.

"Here we go." She thought and rolled her eyes, "L. I just fell asleep without turning my cell off."

"So there's no guy on your mind?" She smirked.

"Nope, nobody." She lied with a roll of her eyes.

"'K then… oh and btw I got big gossips!" She smirked.

"…mmm, okay?"

"Tonight Kelly and Adam are going out! On a date! Isn't that great?" She announced with a huge grin.

"And by Adam you mean…?"

"Adam… Edge! Of course! About time, huh? Lucky girl!" She giggled but Ashley wasn't paying attention anymore as her eyes filled with tears.
