Chapter Thirty-Six - Vegas

"I think we are going to need a bigger boat."

"I think that's my favourite movie line ever." Ry stuffed another handful of popcorn into his mouth,

"There is always something good on at 2am." Ry paused and the movie and turned to me, "What are you doing this is the best part!"

"I'm trying hard to get in touch with my feminine side and ask you if you're okay about Phil and Anna?"

I groaned and covered my face with a pillow, "Am I okay? Not at the moment but I caused it. I walked out on him and left him sitting broken hearted in a hotel room because I couldn't cope with the pressure. There is nothing I can do about it. " Ry nodded, trying his best to understand, "I've got to move on and maybe, just maybe I can find someone that I love as much as I love Phil… I mean loved." I was about to have a stress attack causing the tears I was holding back to tumble down my checks. Ry moved to my side of the couch and put an arm around me and stroked my back,

"It's okay, just breathe B." He whispered, I could feel the attack ceasing Ry was one of the few people that could calm me down by just being there. I wrapped my arms around his large torso and cried into his chest; I was letting my frustration out,

"What would I do without you?" I cried,

"Be very lonely in this massive hotel suite, how did you manage to get Vince to pay for this?" Ry tried to make a joke and it worked,

"Thank John Cena, he thought having a two bedroom suite would mean someone could keep an eye on me. I guess he was right." I looked up from Ry's chest and he wiped under my eyes,

"I love you Ry."

"I love you too B."

"God how many bags do you need?" Ry asked as he put one of my bags across his chest and picked up another while wheeling his single bag down the hotel hallway,

"I came straight from Tokyo it's my entire wardrobe, I can't help it." I held my handbag in one hand and wheeled my large bag with the other, I heard a door slam in the distance and loud voices down the hallway, I quickly glanced to see Phil and Anna leaving their room,

"I can't help that I have to go to England tomorrow Anna."

"I've been following you around the entire country for two weeks now Phil, this relationship is starting to feel pretty one sided."

"Anna you don't have to be here, I told you if you have to go home to New York and deal with your bands please go I don't want to hold you back."

"My career is perfectly fine, I'm able to work away from the office. It's a luxury that you don't have. I'm worried about us Phil. If I go back home when would I see you next, two weeks or six?"

Ry pushed the button for the lift while I tried my best to hear the conversation,

"B it's really rude to eavesdrop."

"Shhh…" I hushed him hoping to hear the rest of the conversation.

"I know, it's your job Phil. I'm not stupid, I knew exactly what I was getting into when we started dating but you have to remember that wrestling isn't going to be the rest of your life."

"It's my life at the moment Anna, this is what I love."

"Do you love it more than me?"

"Don't say things like that. You know the answer."

"Do I really?"

I was hoping the lift doors would close before they arrived but I was unlucky, Phil had a worried look across his face and Anna looked pissed but immediately pushed her feelings to the back of her mind when she saw Ry and I.

"Hey Bethany and – "

"Ry." Ry spoke quickly to Anna and nodded a hello to Phil before turning his attention to his phone,

"Ry is a man of very little words Anna, your lucky to have gotten a name most people get a grunt." I tried to joke to ease the awkward lift ride. "Are you getting use to the 5am start?"

"No and I probably never will be. How do you guys do it?"

"Coffee, lots and lots of coffee." The rest of the lift ride was filled with small talk and the entire conversation was awkward. Phil kept his eyes on his phone and refused to take part in it, Ry and I left the lift first and I managed to hear the rest of their conversation,

"Could you have been any ruder?"

"What? I was sending a message."

"I'm getting sick of your shit Phil."

We headed to the dinning to room to get our breakfast, Ry piled on his usual plate of bacon and hash browns and I got poached eggs on toast sat down opposite Mike and A-Ry.

"Morning boys." I said,

"Hey glad I caught you I need to give you this." He pulled out two invitation,

"You are coordinately invited to the Engagement Party of Maryse Ouellete and Michael Mizanin at the Canaletto Resturant, The Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas." I read the invite out loud, "Wow, it's embossed."

"We thought it would be easy since Raw is in Vegas next week."

"We would love to come." I answered for Ry and myself,

"So Bethany where are we having our engagement party?" A-Ry reached across the table and held my hand,

"Let's skip the party and just get married in Vegas?" I joked back at him,

"Your Australian accent makes me go crazy, how can I say no to you?" He laughed, went to stand up on his chair, "Next week when we are in Vegas Bethany and I are getting married in the Little White Chapel." He called out to the dinning room. Most of the roster laughed and raised their juices at A-Ry and I heard sniggers from the table behind us, I turned to see The Bella's and Alicia Foxx smirking at our table. A-Ry intervened, "Don't be jealous ladies I'm sure some old rich man will help you forget me." I saw Phil at the corner of my eye roll his eyes at A-Ry's scene.

"Thank A-Ry."

"It's okay Bethany, but I'm serious about the engagement. I'm not that type of guy you have to court me first."

I removed my 'Iron Man' comic book t-shirt and unclipped my bra, I grabbed my shinny red bra-like wrestling top and began undoing the knots left in the strings from last nights house show. I heard the door open and I turned around instinctively,

"Whoa." I squealed and covered exposed breasts.

"I'm so sorry." Phil looked away,

"Didn't you read the sign?" I asked,

"Uh yeah it says CM Punk."

"Well is said Sydney about 20 minutes ago hence why I'm half naked."

"I think I understand why Brie was standing near the door smiling."

"Another prank. I thought I saw the last of them when the spray tanned my white rental car last Thursday night."

"Girls can be cruel." Phil put his bag on the other side of the room, "Can you cover yourself up."

"It's not like you haven't seen them before." I turned and pulled my top over my head, "I'm just going to finish changing and I'll go to Mike's dressing room." I unbuttoned my jeans and pulled them down, "So where's Anna?" I grabbed my black leather-look leggings and put them on,

"She's gone back to New York for a bit, this lifestyle isn't for everyone."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It sucks being left."

"I'm sorry for that too."

"How'd Harry take it?"

"We weren't dating."

"It's still similar, how'd you do it?"

"I left him a note."

"I didn't think you could get any crueler. Breaking up isn't your specialty."

"Clearly." I packed up my bag and put it over my shoulder, "Thanks for talk Phil. You always know how to make a girl feel special." I said sarcastically.

"Anytime Bethany."

I slammed the door behind me,

"Just a quicky B, I thought you and Phil had more catching up to do since poor Anna went home."

I pushed past her and continued down the hallway, she was lucky I didn't knock her out,

"I'll see you out in the ring B."

I grabbed Brie by the hair and the top of her shorts and slid her out of the ring, I taunted the crowd and rang at the ropes for a suicide dive. In the script I was suppose to land on both the Bella's but they decided to make some script changes of their own, my stomach lurched as my feet left the ground and I went through the middle of the ropes I watched as the Bella's huddled together waiting to catch me but at the last second they separated leaving the only thing to stop me was the corner of the announce table, I turned and let the side of my leg and bottom hit the corner.

"That was a nasty hit." Cole said,

"The Bella's are as smart as they are beautiful. They were lucky Sydney didn't hit that move." Lawler leaned over the announce table to make sure I was okay. I winked at him to reassure that I was fine. One of the Bella's picked me up roughly by the hair and threw me into the ring,

"Finish the match." Scott Armstrong whispered,

"Right." I whispered back, Brie got back into the ring and kicked me hard in the ribs, I cried out from the unexpected impact,

"Watch yourself Brie." Armstrong whispered, She went to kick me the second time but I caught her foot in mid-air and pulled her down, I got up to the third rope and prepared to show the WWE Universe my new moonsault leg drop as I got up from my crouched position I felt the sting of a corky in my leg, I was cautious that I wasn't going to make the move if she moved one or both of us weren't going to walk up that ramp by ourselves. I hit my move and pinned her hard, she began to struggle to get out from under me but Armstrong counted for three fast and my music played through the arena.

"And your winner, Sydney." I rolled out of the ring and walked up the ramp refusing to stay and celebrate, I pushed the curtain open and walked through gorilla,

"What the hell happened out there?" Triple H asked as he threw his headphones off,

"Don't ask me, ask them. I'm going back to the hotel." I spat, A-Ry ran up and handed me my zip up grey hoodie which I put on and raised my hood,

"Ry has the car going and I have ice for you. I can't believe what they did the entire roster was watching the match. Phil nearly kicked in Vince's door when you hit the table. How does it feel?"

"I think I bruised my bum." I laughed,

"That's going to hurt tomorrow. You'll have to sit on one cheek at Mike and Maryse's dinner tomorrow night."

"I guess we won't be hitting the town hard tonight."

"Maybe another time when your legally able to drink. We can come down another time and get married."

"When I can walk down the aisle properly I promise." A-Ry opened the car door for me and helped me into the seat before getting into the back seat behind me.

"Those bitches." Ry muttered and I chuckled.

"You know you just quotes 'Mean Girls.'" I smiled,

"I know but I was also stating the obvious."

"Alight Janis Ian get me to Caesars I can hear my bed calling."
