A/N: I only own the OC
Thank you for reviewing.
I had fun wandering around London when I woke up. Daniel was still asleep, and everyone was just kind of doing their own things. I explore the tower, saw the palace, and rode the Underground like I used to when I worked for WWE. I was sitting in the park when my phone buzzed. Daniel was asking me where I was in the city. I told him, and he told me to stay there. He was going to come there. I was sitting there scrolling through the internet when I saw Michael had posted a picture of us on Instagram. I was shocked when I saw it and read the caption: I miss you more than you know because when no one else saw me you did.
I was trying to think of what to write or even say when someone plopped down beside me. I looked over at Daniel, and showed him the phone. He chuckled and handed it back.
"That's cute." he said and I shrugged.
"Don't worry about it. You are in another country, and having fun." he said and I nodded. He was right, but it annoyed me that Michael now wanted to show attention or be sweet.
Daniel and I rode the London Eye before finding a pub for food and drinks.I was glad that I had decided to come on this trip on a whim. I was now given the opportunity to do amazing things. I planned on taking full advantage of it. We had just finished up when Daniel got a text from Jericho inviting him to another pub. He said he would come if he could bring me, and Chris immediately replied back yes. We caught a cab and rode through London to a pub near Wembley Stadium, where the game was going to be tomorrow. We walked in to find Chris, MJF, Tony, and a few others already at a table. We were immediately given beers and joined them. I was between MJF and Daniel.
"You look happier." Max said as I took a sip and I chuckled.
"I suppose I owe you a thank you." I said and he shrugged.
"I didn't want to see a friend get hurt because someone was being an idiot." he said and I gave a small smile.
"Can I at least ask how long?" I asked him and he sighed.
"He accidentally slipped up and said something about her a few days ago. I don't think long, but who knows." he said and I nodded.
"To new beginnings." he said and toasted me as I chuckled.
We hung out with everyone until late that night. We weren't far from the hotel so a bunch of us walked back together. Daniel walked me to my room, and told me he would see me at breakfast. I walked back into my room and found roses in my room. I was confused as I took the card.
I'm sorry. I will see you when you get back. ~ Michael
I sighed and threw the card away. I had been ignoring Michael's text all day. He would text me a few times an hour with apologies, promises, and pictures of us.
Please just stop. I got the flowers, and I am asking you to stop. ~ Rae
I am going to do everything I can to get you back. ~ Michael
Stop ~ Rae
I turned my phone on Do Not Disturb after I sent that. I wanted to enjoy the rest of my time in London. I suddenly wasn't tired anymore. I knew they had a bar in the lobby, so I grabbed my room key, wallet, and walked downstairs. I didn't want to bother Daniel anymore tonight so I went by myself. I walked in to see Tony at the bar alone.
"Can I join you?" I asked him and he smiled at me as He nodded. He got the bartender to get me a beer.
"Thanks." I said and he smiled at me.
"Any time. I can tell that you are dealing with stuff." He said and I chuckled.
"That's one way to put it." I said and he nodded.
"Michael didn't realize what he had?" he asked me and I sighed.
"Yeah, he was cheating on me." I admitted and Tony hugged me. I was grateful for the hug at that moment.
"It seems like Daniel has stepped in pretty well." he said and I chuckled.
"He and I had a crush on each other when he was in WWE. I guess the timing is finally right?" I said and he chuckled.
"You will figure it out, Rae. Just don't rush into it." he said and I was surprised to hear that from Tony.
"You have had that experience haven't you?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Yeah, I knew her in college and it didn't work. I am waiting for my right time." he said and I put my hand on his.
"You will." I said.
We talked while we drank a few beers before I finally realized I did need to get some sleep. I wasn't sure if Tony ever slept.
I got Daniel the next morning for breakfast and I was in a better mood today. I still couldn't believe that Michael had cheated on me... actually I could because he was a douche. I was slowly realizing how much of a fucking asshole he had been.
"You excited about the game?" he asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah, and then I have to go with Tony to some after game thing." I said and he nodded.
"We are all going." he said and I was relieved to hear that. I knew that Tony wouldn't do anything, but I wasn't in the mood to be really social right now. I was glad that Daniel would be there too.
We got back to the hotel in time to change and go to the game. We were all in a box. They had a massive spread of food and alcohol for all of us. The game was fun. I was wearing Jaguars stuff that Tony had given all of us. We were all drinking and cheering the team on, and as the game progressed the more most of us drank.
"I will be back. I need to run to the bathroom." I said and slipped out of the area. I went to the bathroom and when I came out Max was coming out the men's. He offered me his arm and I took it.
"Thanks." I said and he nodded.
"Rae, I have enough liquid courage right now that I want to do something." he said.
"What?" I asked him and he sighed. I wasn't sure what he wanted to do until I felt his lips on mine. I pushed him off and looked at him surprised.
"I wanted to know what it felt like." he said and I turned to walk away. I came face to face with Daniel.
"It's not what it looked like. I kissed her." Max said and Daniel nodded. He walked around me without looking at me, and punched Max. Max grabbed his face and stumbled back into the bathroom.
"Maybe Michael cheated on you because you made him think you didn't care." Daniel said before walking back to the box. I was standing there stunned. I had no idea what just happened, but I wanted to do nothing more than crawl in a deep hole.
