No one's POV

Apparently when Maria came back to the hotel from her walk to the park, Mickie sent her a text saying that she could meet her at a local club down the street. Maria thought for a while and indeed she saw a club around the corner. She thought that that would be a great idea since her boredom will eat her any moment.

The club was jam-packed. Obviously it's Friday. A lot of party goers are bar-hopping. She walked in in her denim skirt with a gold belt around her waist , black bustier top, and silver strappy stilettos. She looks absolutely stunning. People turned their heads when she strode towards Mickie and the group. They had a couple of drinks and Maria decided that she wanted some space. Now, she's sitting alone at the bar. Sipping her cocktail. She does not understand why she doesn't feel tipsy like the others even she had much more drinks than the others. She leant forward. Her elbows resting on top of the counter.

"Can you please tell me why would a gorgeous woman like you prefer to sit alone when there is a lot of men in the club who's dying to know you?"An English accent asked from behind startling her. She slowly twisted her torso to look at the person. It was someone she never knew before. She hasn't seen him before. He was quite handsome though. She smirked. He noticed her sexy pouty lips. He would really love to kiss those lips before the night ends.

"I'm just not in the mood to mingle." She said returning to her original position moments ago. He sat on the stool beside her. She stared on her cocktail mixing it endlessly with the straw.

"May I buy you a drink?" he asked but she smiled and raised her glass. A gesture that means she already has one.

"So, may I know your name?" she asked smiling at him.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Wade, Wade Barrett or Stuart Bennett or Stu for short. I'm the winner of NXT season 1. I've seen you around and I already know you." He said grinning and extending a hand. She giggled and shook his hand. She remembered him.

"Maria." She said as she shook his hand So you're new here?" She asked. He nodded.

"With all your names, I like Wade best."She laughed softly.

"That's what I thought." He said smiling and taking a sip of his beer.

Maria's POV

I was having a great time chatting with Wade but I felt my phone vibrating. I pulled it out and it displayed John's number.

"Excuse me" I told Wade before I stood up and headed for the comfort room.

"Hey babe," I greeted John excitedly.

"Hey baby. How's my favorite girl?" He asked

"I'm great!"I exclaimed "When are you coming back?" I asked urgently.

"I'm sorry baby but we have a problem about that. Remember that Vince took me back to Raw? So I have to fly back directly to Raw to cope up with the episodes that I've missed." He said in such a way that won't disappoint me.

"I've missed you." I said timidly and obviously disappointed. I looked down and wiggled.

"Awww…baby girl I've missed you too….Hey, come on, cheer up. It's not like we'll never see each other again right?" He said trying to lighten me up. I let out a heavy sigh.

"I guess you're right." I said. "I love you" I said softly and sweetly as I can.

"Love you too, bye!" He said and he hung up. I stood there for a moment. My ear still pressed on my phone, listening to the dial tone.

No One's POV

Maria walked slowly out of the comfort room. She's really disappointed. She looked around. The dance floor is packed with people and some guys are all over girls making out. Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" is blasting through the speakers. She sighed as she crossed the crowd.

Wade saw her. He eyed her intently. She is beautiful. She looks more stunning than the past few days he'd been eyeing her. She's one of a kind. He had never met anyone like her before and he doubt that he will. And now that she's within his grasp, he'll never let her go.

Maria returned to the bar and sat on the same spot. Wade was still there. He looked up when Maria arrived.

"Is something bothering you?" he asked

"Nothing important…" Maria said trying to wave it off.

"Now, may I buy you a drink?"

"Okay" She finally gave up.

" But wait, let's have shots. Make it a challenge. Me vs. you." She said taunting

"Deal" He said grinning wildly.

Maria took the first shot and then Wade then it went on.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked her offering a hand.

"I would love to" when Maria took his hand, she felt that the floor was uneven. She was a little bit tipsy already. She looked around the club but there were no signs of Mickie and the others. When they reached the dance floor, the adrenaline kicked through her veins. They were dancing closely until her hands went around his neck and his around her waist. They were looking deep into each others' eyes.

Hours later Wade was walking Maria to her room. Actually he was guiding her. She had a little too much of alcohol. They rode the elevator up to Maria's floor. They walked out the elevator and down the hallway to Maria's room formerly "their" (John and her) room. When she stopped in front of the door, she turned around to thank him.

"Th-thank you" she slurred. She began to fall forward but He caught her on the process. He pinned her to the door to stop her from falling. Their faces were inches apart.

He leant forward and touched his lips to hers. He started kissing her gently. He pulled away for a moment staring into her eyes then resumed. Then he felt her kissing back. He pressed his lips harder.

He licked her bottom lip asking for permission. She welcomed him in. He took her other leg and placed it on his hip. Maria hoisted her other leg. Her back is resting on the door. Her hands were around his neck. Wade was rubbing her right thigh. Their hands were roaming around each other. She was rubbing his chest, moaning. With eyes closed they were just feeling and touching each other uncontrollably. Tongues battling for dominance. As Wade's hand goes higher under her skirt, she arched her back. Pressing herself harder on him. She can feel his arousal.

Then suddenly images of her and John making love flashes through her mind. Her body went numb. Her eyes opening abruptly.

"Wait..stop…we can't do this.." she said pulling away.

"I'm sorry.."Wade said putting her down. "I don't know what got into me." He apologized.

Maria ran a hand through her red hair closing her eyes. She didn't know what got into her either. How could she do this to John? She sighed.

"I'm also sorry Wade but it's just not right. Goodnight." She said opening the door.

"Maria, wait." He said grabbing her elbow. "I'm sorry. I hope this won't affect our friendship." He said eyes pleading.

"Goodnight Wade." She said not even bothering to look at him. She closed the door.
