I can't breathe. I can't do this. Not now. Not Roman. Not again. Jeez I just wish my body would keep up with my thoughts! My hands pull Roman in closer, my lips are glued to his as my tongue fights his for dominance. My skin tingles everywhere he touches me. My sides are on fire, his fingers leaving blazing trails wherever they touch. The feelings this man brings out in me are unreal. But I have to stop. I have to... "Stop" I manage to pant breathlessly. He looks at me and frowns, and my heart breaks. "I can't" I whisper. "I can't do this again Joe, I'm sorry." He nods and pulls me towards him, hugging me lightly. "It's fine Torrie" he whispers, kissing my head. "I understand it's a big step. But I want you Torrie. I want you so much it's killing me inside." I shake my head. "You can't want me Joe" I say sitting up. "I'm bad for you. I'm bad for all of you. I attract trouble." He shakes his head and smiles. "Seth doesn't think so" he says. "Neither does Randy. Neither do I. We all want you Torrie. You're driving us all crazy. We all want you so bad, and you can't see it." "How can you all want me?" I whisper. He looks at me in shock. "You really don't get it do you?" he whispers. "Did you really think that one quickie on a tour bus was gonna be enough for me? I want you Torrie, I want you all." "Sex" I say, looking at him. "You want sex." He shakes his head. "Not if you don't" he says sitting up with me. "Torrie, I'd be celibate for the rest of my life as long as it meant I was with you. I know you can't see it. If you're honest with yourself, I think it's because of Dean. Your whole relationship with him was based on sex." I nod. "That explains it" he carries on. "You're scared to give yourself to anyone again purely because of what happened the last time. Baby girl, I'm not Dean. Neither are Seth or Randy. We would treat you right, give you the relationship you deserve. Dean isn't capable of having a relationship." I nod again, knowing he's right. They would treat me right. They all would, in their own way. But they're not Dean, and he's what I want. I'm stupid, I know, but I want him so bad. If it was him here now, not Roman, there'd be no holding me back. I've said my piece to him, he knows how much he hurt me. I don't think he's hurting anywhere near as much as I want him to though. I look at Roman, he's watching me intently. I shake my head. "I can't do it to you" I say. "I can't hurt any of you just to make myself feel better because I'm hurting. It's not right." "You still love him" he says simply, and I nod. I have to, I can't deny it. He smiles and kisses me. "I should go" he says, standing up. "I've said everything the guys and I wanted to say. It's up to you now. But remember Torrie, no matter what you want, we're here for you. One night, or a relationship, we'll do it all. We're here for you. Junior too." I nod and watch as he walks out of my room. As soon as the front door clicks closed I'm in tears.
Its morning, and I've barely slept. I hear Randy come through the front door, and he heads straight for my room. I sit up as he opens the door and peeks around. "Hey" he says seeing I'm awake. "Roman told us what he said to you." "Morning to you too Randal" I say as he sits on the bed. "Nothing like beating around the bush!" He smirks. "He was right Tor" he says looking at me. "We're all crazy about you. All three of us." I shake my head. "I can't do it Randy" I say, looking as he frowns. "If I choose one, and you all feel the same, I'm hurting two. I can't do it." He nods and kisses my head. "Sleep" he says, encouraging me to lie down. "I can see in your face you've wrestled with this decision all night. Sleep now, I'm not going anywhere." I nod and cuddle into him. Randy is my safety blanket. Within minutes I'm asleep.
He's not there when I wake. I get out of bed and head for the kitchen, smiling when i see him leaning against the cupboard talking on the phone. "She's just come in" he says smiling at me. I smile, then frown as he shakes his head and walks out. I check the time and decide to skip coffee and head straight for the shower. Randy is nowhere to be seen so I head to my room, locking the bathroom door behind me. I take my time in the shower, washing and conditioning my hair, and rubbing junior for ages. I get out, wash my face, clean my teeth and head into my room. Randy is sat on my bed. "Thought you fell down the plug hole" he says smiling. I shake my head and walk to the wardrobe. "What do I wear?" I ask, spinning around. "Anything" Randy says, coming up behind me. "You're gonna be getting changed when you get there anyway." I frown as I look at him. "Hunter" he says, waving his phone at me. "He thinks you need to show yourself to the universe. Rumours are flying around about you being at the Hall of Fame last night, he thinks tonight would be perfect for your comeback. So, you're gonna go to the ring with the Shield." I shake my head. "Over my dead body" I say. "There is no way I'm going to the ring with him." He smirks and I slap him. "You sneaky fucker!" I yell and he laughs as he dodges my slaps. "Ok, ok, I give!" he says laughing. "Hunter wants you as a guest ring announcer." I nod. "That I can do" I say, turning away from him and looking for something suitable to wear.
I question my decision to go along with what Hunter wants as soon as the car turns up. Randy can see I'm regretting it and he puts his hand on my knee as we sit in the back of the car. I put my head on his shoulder and he kisses my head. We pull up at the arena, and I get out as he thanks the driver. He wraps his arm around me as we hear the first screams. I look up at him and he kisses me sneakily. I laugh and slap his chest as we walk into the arena and away from the fans prying eyes. I'm picked up from behind and Randy laughs. As soon as I'm put down I spin around, hugging Big Show when I calm down. "Damn Show!" I complain. "My stomach is in my throat!" He laughs, a throaty chuckle. "Sorry sunshine" he says kissing my head. "I'm just happy to see you." "Feelings mutual Show" I say winking at him. "But, if you'll excuse me, I'm sure there's a COO hiding in an office somewhere dreading a knock from Torrie Good." He smiles. "I'm sure there is" he says, waving as I kiss Randy and head for wherever Hunter's office is.
Torrie Good. Seriously need to think about changing that. There was nothing good about having that name. Ambrose was more like it, turns out my husband was more like Dean than he cared to admit. I shiver as I find the door Hunter is hiding behind. I take a deep breath and knock, smiling when he answers. I open the door slowly and peek around, smiling when he looks up and groans. "Ah Torrie!" he says standing up and walking over to me. "Come for the best view of tonight's action have you?" I shake my head and hug him before sitting down. "Hunter" I say. "You know as well as I do that the best view is from ringside. Is that why you're sending me out there?" He nods. "You need to get back into it" he says, clasping his hands together as he looks at me. "And if you want my opinion, you need to date Roman too." "Excuse me?" I ask, in shock. He smiles. "He's a good guy Tor" he says. "Better than Dean." "So is Colby" I say. "And Randy." "You can't be that blind, surely" Hunter says. "Have you ever seen the way that guy looks at you? The way he clenched his fists whenever Dean touched you, or kissed you? He's not as good at hiding his true feelings as he thinks he is." I shake my head. "You're wrong" I whisper. He looks at me and smirks. "Am I?" he asks, raising an eyebrow. "Am I really, Torrie?" I shake my head. "I didn't think so" he says smiling at me. "Put the guy out of his misery." I look him in the eye and shake my head. "I can't Hunter" I say. "I still love Dean. No matter what he's done, I love him. I can't hurt Joe like that." "Don't you dare let Dean back" Hunter warns. "You haven't punished him anywhere near enough yet. Last night was a start, last night was great, in fact. Best promo I've seen you do. But still, there needs to be more." I smile. "I like the way you think, Hunter" I say.
I'm on my way to the locker room I'm sharing with Randy when it happens. I hear their voices from further down the corridor, but I don't see them yet. "Talk to me" she pleads. He growls. "I've lost everything" he snarls. "My wife, my friends, my baby, and for what? One night. One lousy night Renee. Torrie thinks it's more, no doubt she saw twitter and the pictures you insisted on posting. No word on them about how you were following me from bar to bar though, was there? Oh no. Whole world figured you and I were together. Bad luck Renee. I loved my wife. I still love my wife." "She's not your wife anymore" Renee points out. "We've only got each other now Dean. Nobody else wants to know us." "Are you surprised?" he yells. "We were ok until she came back, now they're all gonna know the full story, how she was pregnant and I went behind her back." I'm in full view of Renee now, if she looks up, I'm toast. Someone doesn't want me to hide though. "Ah fuck" I moan, clutching my stomach. Searing pain shoots across my stomach, and my knees go weak. Renee looks up and sees me, eyes wide. "Dean!" she yells, running past him straight to me. "Torrie, what's happening?" I shake her hand off my arm. "Get the fuck off me" I snarl. "Woah!" Randy yells running up behind me. "Get off her Renee! Torrie, what's wrong baby?" "Pain" I whisper. "Oh fuck, Randy help me." "It's ok" he says helping me to the floor. Dean finally spins around, rooted to the spot. "Fuck sake Ambrose, get the doc!" Randy yells sitting next to me. "Focus on me Torrie. Where does it hurt?" "Stomach" I whisper, closing my eyes as the pain is making my vision hazy. "Open them Tor" he begs. "Look at me." I shake my head. "I need Joe" I say suddenly. Randy growls. "Someone get Reigns!" he yells down the corridor. Roman arrives at the same time as the doc. "Torrie?" he whispers. "Baby girl I'm here. Come on Tor, please?" I open my eyes and smile weakly. "Ain't you a sight for sore eyes" I say, looking him up and down. He was clearly in the process of getting dressed. Hunter appears. "Hospital" doc tells him and he nods. "Reigns, you go with her" he says. "We'll sort something out." "No!" I yell. "He's not missing his Wrestlemania moment for me!" "It's not even up for discussion baby girl" Roman growls. Randy nods. "I'll tell Seth" he says. "We'll pack your stuff up and take it home for you. Just, just keep me informed bro?" Roman nods and helps doc move me to wait for the ambulance.
