Aurora POV
It's been two weeks since I shut Allen out and it's been a shitty two weeks at that. The only communication I've had with him is a thank you text for him sending Matty's AJ Styles costume and a picture of Matty in said costume. He's tried contacting me, but I just can't do it. Why? Because I feel like a complete and total fool for acting the way I am. Then I come up with an idea. It's going to be a very expensive one, but I know it'll be worth it in the end.
It's another late night at the restaurant with Chelsea and if I'm gonna accomplish what it is I want to, I'm gonna need her help…big time. "Heyyy, bestie. How's it goin'?" I say to her as I walk into the kitchen.
"What do you want, Scott?" She retorts with a playful eye roll as she gets drinks for her table made. Damn…I guess she really does know me better than I thought.
"What makes you think I want anything?" I counter, trying to act as innocent as possible, but I know she's not buying it.
"Cut the crap. I know you better than you know yourself. So what's up? What's on your mind? Does it have to do with Allen?" Chelsea asks, looking over at me and I nod my head sheepishly. "Are you still not talking to him?! Girl! What have I told you! You can't let him get away!" She exclaims and I hold my hands up in surrender.
"I know, Chels…believe me. It's why I'm coming to you. Could you and Jason possibly watch Matty for me for 2 or 3 days? I'll owe you big time. It's just…I fucking miss him like crazy and I'm too ashamed of myself to text or call him after practically giving him the silent treatment for two weeks. I was gonna go to Atlanta to surprise him…at Raw this up coming Monday. And I want it to be just me. Please Chels! I never ask you for anything and I really wanna do this. I wanna let him know that I'm serious about him…about us," I beg her.
Chelsea turns to me and I know she can see the desperate look in my eyes. "Okay, okay…fine. Go win your lover boy's heart back, but I want the deets when you get back," she says, pointing a finger at me.
"Yes! I love you! Thank you, so much! I owe you big time," I say, pulling her into a hug, while pressing a kiss to her cheek. Laughing, Chelsea, returns my hug and gives me a big squeeze before releasing her hold on me.
"I love you, girl. You know I'd do anything for you and Matty. And if it means you getting your man back, then I'm all for it. I've never seen you as happy as you have been these past two months," she replies.
"Yeah, he does make me pretty happy. And I didn't tell you, but Matty's costume…he sent that out to me so I could have it in time for Matty for Halloween. He somehow knew I wouldn't get it in time, so he managed to pull some strings to get it to me. Oh, and he also included one of his personal sweatbands…unused of course to Matty as part of the costume. Matty has no idea it came directly from him," I tell Chels and her eyes widen.
"Hold on. Gimme just a sec to get these out to my guys and get their order," she says and I nod my head and take my phone out of my pocket, pulling up Ticketmaster to find a ticket to the show for next Monday. I find a really good seat the second row to the barricade for $350. I don't know how or why it was still available, but it's mine now. I can look for a flight up later on when I get home.
"Alright, so what's up? Allen did what?!" Chelsea says and I nod my head happily. "Damn girl. If he goes out of his way to do something like that AND gives Matty something personal of his…he's a keeper," she tells me.
"Believe me. I know. He's absolutely incredible Chels; that's why I feel so fucking terrible for how I treated him 2 weeks ago. Which brings me to this. And I just found and purchased my ticket for Raw," I tell Chelsea excitedly.
"OoOo…where is it? So Jason and I can look for you!" She replies just as excited and showing her my seat has her eyes widening. "Holy shit girl! You'll definitely catch his attention there!" She says.
"That's what I'm hoping for! Oh god, Monday can't get here soon enough," I say with a sigh.
"It'll be here before you know it, girl," Chelsea replies.
And 'be here before I know it', did. I'm on my way to the airport for my 1:30pm flight and thankfully the flight is less than an hour, so I should be comfortably in my hotel room by 3pm at the latest. It'll give me plenty of time to freshen up. And by freshen up, I mean the whole 9-yards. Wash my hair. My body. Shave everywhere and I mean everywhere.
It's the beginning of November, so I know it's going to be freezing up in Atlanta, so I packed my pair of stylish, but at the same time comfortable boots. Alongside those, I'll have on my nicest pair of blue skinny jeans and my newest AJ Styles shirt that I managed to snag. As well as an AJ Styles zip up hoodie.
Allen's been wearing a lot of red lately, so I'll be putting on some sparkly red eye shadow with gold accents and a red lip gloss to match. Thankfully the shirt I found is black and red, so it works out perfectly. I even went down to painting my nails red and black to match him.
The hotel I'm staying at is right around the corner from the arena, so I won't have to travel far and I'm sure other people who will be attending Raw will be there as well. But I have no more time to fret because it's 6:30pm and I know it's time for me to head over to the arena. I check myself in the mirror one last time before making my way out.
By 7:15pm my butt is in my seat and it's absolutely incredible. Between the commentary table a little ways to my left. The fans left and right. Not to mention their signs. Some of them are quite comical while others are simple, but have meaning behind them. And the ring…holy crap, it's a lot bigger than I anticipated it to be, but I can definitely picture Allen in his element while in between those ropes.
"You're not an AJ Styles fan, are you?" The couple next to me ask in good nature with smiles on their faces. They themselves…well she has on an AJ Styles shirt herself, while he has on an Undertaker shirt.
"How did you guess?" I reply in kind with a grin. "Was it the shirt or my jacket?" I ask, turning 360 degrees, showing it off.
"Oh my god! Where did you get that? I've been looking for that jacket everywhere!" Jenna asked. I discovered that is what her name is and her companion who I learned is her husband is Ric.
"Believe it or not, I found it on eBay. When I saw it I couldn't pass it up. Especially with it being my size. It's like it was meant to be," I reply, happily. Before we know it, the show is starting and everyone is going crazy, not to mention the pyro scaring the ever living shit out of me.
First to come out is Raw Women's Champion: Becky Lynch and she begins to run her mouth and talk about how dominant she's been since coming back a SummerSlam and taking the title off of Bianca Belair in only 26 seconds. Holy shit! 26 seconds?! I didn't even know that was possible! But I guess in wrestling, anything is. Bianca came out to shut her up and they ended up in an impromptu match, resulting in Becky winning. The boos were deafening. I can tell you that one!
As the night progresses, the show becomes more and more entertaining and I can see why Matty loves it so much. I really can't wait to take him next month; he is going to have the time of his life! Halfway through the show, they had a segment backstage with Allen…sorry…AJ Styles and Omos with The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. I can also see why Matty loves The New Day so much. They are absolutely hysterical. Not to mention how easily it was for them to pick on Allen's character and the look on his face when they walked away, had me dying.
It's finally time for the final match of the night. The New Day's Xavier Woods with Kofi Kingston in his corner vs. AJ Styles with Omos in his corner. Oh this is going to be interesting…
The first to come out is Allen and when his music starts to play, I go absolutely crazy. I see Jenna next to me, does as well. But I think she and the whole arena are going to be in for a big shock when Allen sees me. He and Omos finally get to the ring and the way he runs to the opposite side of the ring and bounces himself off of it, gets me every time. Don't ask why, it just does.
They go to a commercial break, so they dim the lights and he and Omos stand in the corner of the ring right in front of me. As they chat, I can't take my eyes off of him and how handsome he is. To see him in person again has my heart beating out of my chest. I hear a little kid to my right yell out his name and even though he's a 'bad guy', he breaks character to go and see the little boy. He gives him an autograph and takes a picture with him and the smile on Allen's face warms my heart. If he is like that with a strangers kid, I can only imagine how he will be with Matty.
When he's finished with the little boy, he just happens to look in my direction and when his eyes land on me, they widen like saucers. If I wasn't so happy to see him, I would have laughed at the look on his face. I know he can't come over to me because they're about to come back from commercial break, so I kiss my hand and send it in his direction while mouthing out 'hi baby' with a smile.
Thankfully, no one around me saw me do that. Not even Jenna or Ric because that would have been a big open can of worms to explain. Even back in the ring, Allen can't take his eyes off of me. He continuously keeps looking back over at me every so often and I think it's to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"Girl, he keeps looking over at you," Jenna nudges me with a light elbow, "I think you might have an admirer," she says excitedly, but I can hear a tone of jealously as well. I don't even know why considering she is her with her husband. Then again, I mean it is AJ Styles and he is gorgeous as hell. Like I told him the night we met, any woman would kill to be in my spot.
When they do the introductions and the ring announcer announces Allen, he takes off his vest jacket before ripping off his shirt and lord help me, it turned me on more than it should have. Instead of throwing it to the ground outside the ring like he usually does, Allen throws the shirt in my direction and I manage to catch it in midair. The smirk, paired with the wink he sends in my direction has me becoming a goddamn horny mess.
Jenna looks over at me with wide eyes and a dropped jaw at what just happened. I shrug my shoulders with a grin and hold his shirt close. The bell rings and they're off. I scream Allen's name like a banshee as I cheer him on with Jenna doing the same thing next to me. Towards the end of the match, Allen manages to get the Styles Clash in on Xavier, effectively ending the match with a W. I jump up and down like a kid hyper on candy and before I even know what's happening, right as they go off air, Allen makes his way over and his eyes are set directly on me.
"Rory?" He says, disbelief in his voice at actually seeing me, but the smile on his face speaks volumes. I meet him at the barricade and lift my hand up to frame the side of his face while he grasps at my sides.
"Hi baby," I whisper with a smile of my own and he leans in to press a kiss to my lips and everyone around us goes crazy. Allen and I break the kiss to look around us and I didn't even realize we caught the attention of so many. How the hell could you not think that? You just kissed AJ Styles like it's an everyday occurrence! That's because it is you dumbass.
"Come with me?" He whispers with hope in his eyes. I nod my head with a smile and the one on his broadens before he presses another kiss to me. "Do you have everything?" He asks.
"I do. I didn't bring much on purpose," I reply, quickly looking back to see if Jenna and Ric are still there and sure enough…they are. The flabbergasted look on her face has me laughing, but I wave bye to her with a smile and turn back around to face Allen. "Alright, I'm ready," I tell him.
"Okay, I want you to jump. I know the barricade is kinda high for you, but I've got you. I'm not gonna let you fall," he whispers as his eyes penetrate mine.
Nodding my head with a small smile, I reply, "I trust you."
Gripping his shoulders, Allen takes a hold on my waist and whispers 'jump' to me. I do as he says and I miraculously manage to make the jump over gracefully with his help. His hold on me never loosens until my feet are planted firmly on the ground. Even then, his hold on me doesn't waver. He grabs my hand and I follow him to the back, ignoring all of the death glares I receive from the female fans as he and I make our way back.
He doesn't stop until we get to his personal locker room. Closing the door behind us, he locks it and pushes me up against the cool metal, pressing his body into mine. The fact that he is sweaty goes unnoticed by me because I've been waiting for this moment for 2 1/2 months.
"I've missed you, so much, Rory," he whispers and rests his forehead against mine before softly pressing his lips to mine. "What're you doin' here?" He asks, pulling back just enough so he can see me and frames my face with both hands.
"I've missed you, too, Allen. So much, it hurt. I wanted to surprise you after being such a bitch to you two weeks ago. I'm so sorry," I breathe and he shakes his head, quieting me with a kiss.
"It's alright, darlin'…" he begins and I cut him off.
"No, Allen. It's not alright. You were just trying to help and I practically bit your head off. You've been nothing but good to me and the second you notice I was overworking myself you called me out on it and I snapped on you, shutting you out for two fucking weeks," I argue.
"It's okay, Aurora. I get why you did. I wanted to give you your space, but I just couldn't stop worrying about you. You mean so much to me, Rory; I only want what's best for you, baby. I honestly thought I lost you when you wouldn't return my calls or texts, but then you sent me the picture of Matty in his costume…you have no idea how overjoyed I was to see that picture," Allen says to me quietly. "And then to see you in the crowd tonight. Oh my god, Rory, you don't know how happy I was…how happy I am to see you," he tells me and tears begin to form in my eyes. "Baby, please don't cry," he begs me, wiping away the wetness.
Shaking my head, I reply, "I don't deserve you." Allen presses his lips to mine again, but this time deepens the kiss before breaking it.
"Yes you do, Aurora. It's me who doesn't deserve you. It's not everyday, someone you love drops everything just so she can surprise you simply because she missed you," he tells me and my eyes widen as I look up at him.
"What did you just say?" I breathe, looking into Allen's eyes with awe, making sure I'm not hearing things and that he actually just said what I think he said.
Allen smiles down at me and runs his fingers through my hair before framing my face once more, pressing a kiss to my lips. "I love you, Aurora Scott. So much that it scares me because I've never felt like this about anyone before. Not even Felicia. That's how I know you deserve me. Because I don't just give my heart to anyone and I don't use those three words lightly. I love you and I've never been more sure about anything other than my career and the love I have for my children," he tells me and that's when the tears really fall and there is nothing I can do to stop them.
Stepping on my toes, I pull Allen against me and into a kiss filled with passion, "I love you, too, Allen Jones. More than I even knew was possible. You're all I think about night and day and it was hell not being able to talk or see you the past two weeks. I was too embarrassed by my behavior towards you, that I let my pride get in the way," I say and begin to grow quieter the more I talked.
"Hey, look at me, sweetheart," Allen orders quietly. I obey his simple command and look up at him with regretful eyes. "It's all water under the bridge, baby," he begins, wiping the tears from my eyes and cheeks. "You're here now…with me and to know you feel the same way I do…it's a weight lifted off my shoulders that I didn't even know was there. I went everyday wondering if you felt the same and if you didn't, what I was going to do. I woulda been heartbroken, but I would have accepted it," he tells me and the regret turned into shock and disbelief.
Allen POV
To say I'm over the fucking moon right now is a goddamn understatement. The fact that the woman I love…the woman I fell in love with almost instantly, dropped everything to come to Atlanta to surprise me after the way things were left, lets me know that I'm one lucky son of a bitch and that I can't let her go. Not now. Not ever. To know she loves me in return…it's a feeling I can't even begin to describe. Elated. Grateful. Blessed. Those are just some of the words I'm feeling, but the look Rory is sending my way right now, tells me I had nothing to worry about to begin with.
"How the hell would I not return your feelings? I'd be a complete moron not to. You're a fucking diamond, Allen. Rare and hard to come by. I fell in love with you faster than I ever thought possible. You put me and Matty before yourself without even blinking. No one does that anymore. Even when I wouldn't speak to you, you still sent Matty his costume with something that was personally yours.
"Allen, there is no way I could ever let you go and I don't plan on it. I love you and I can't wait to see where our journey takes us," Rory whispers against my lips before pressing a soft kiss to them. She goes to pull away, but I quickly thread my fingers through her hair, keeping her in place and deepen the kiss as I beg for entrance with my tongue probing her bottom lip.
She instantly grants me access and I moan happily into the kiss, letting my tongue caress her own. They fall into that familiar dance we discovered the night we met, only this time it's different. We are two lovers reuniting, instead of two strangers acting on a mutual interest in one another.
Breaking the kiss, I pant against her mouth, "shower with me?" I ask as I look down into her brown eyes. Rory nods her acceptance to my invitation, but hooks her fingers in the waistband of my ring gear, keeping me in place.
"Back at the hotel," she breathes, "it'll be more private and we can take all the time we want," she tells me and my eyes darken with lust as a low growl leaves past my lips.
"Let me get changed and then we can go," I rasp out and she grins up at me, returning the kiss I press roughly to her lips.
