Chapter 25

Finn had spent the whole day ruminating his discussion with Rose. He should be able to discard this conversation from his head but for some reason he was unable to. Each time he would see Mina his heart would race, each time he would be close to her he would have an erection he couldn't control, he was dreaming about her, only thinking about her. How could this not be love? "Desire" said a little voice in his head, could it only be that? Why did he love Mina, that was another question he was unable to answer with something else than desire. He just happened to love her, for no particular reason, he loved almost everything about her, from her character to her many talents, both artistic and physical. To him she was perfect and it was the proof he needed to be sure he was in love with her. When did he fall in love? He was not sure, as far as he can remember, it was when Damian came to him for advice. Yes, he fell in love with her when he heard Damian had feelings. Rose words echoed in his had. She was right.

Did it mean that his love was not real? Certainly not! Damian always got all the attention from the ladies, he proved that he was a cheater and still managed to have more girls in love with him, whereas him, poor Finn, was the one being used by women despite being loyal and romantic. Why couldn't he find the good person? Why should he be the one to get hurt when Damian was wasting countless chances. Finn wanted just one chance to love and to be loved, and this chance was Mina. He wanted her by his side and he was not going to let Damian take her away from him.

As the black-haired seamstress didn't show up the entire day, he decided to pay her a visit in the evening. He remembered her address and took a taxi before the end of the day, to avoid having to explain it to Damian. The last thing he wanted was to suffer his looks; despite being deeply in love with Mina and wanting to avoid her returning with the Puerto Rican, he didn't want to hurt him more than necessary. His love for the seamstress was real too, even if he didn't deserve her anymore. He knocked at the door, feeling suddenly nervous. What if she was mad at him? What if she wanted to end things between them? He needed to show her that his love was very much real.

He heard the key in the lock and the door opened to a half naked Mina, her hair was dripping on the floor and her skin was wet. He probably just found her out of the shower. The sight of her immediately gave him a painful erection, he had a hard time restraining himself to make her his immediately.

- "Finn? What are you doing he-" she was cut by his heated kiss on her lips.

He gently pushed her inside of her flat and closed the door behind him, hugging her tight in his arms, he was unable to repress the urge to kiss her and make her feel what she was doing to him. While kissing her, he pressed his crotch against her, without grinding, just making her feel how hard he was. He was already panting when she broke the kiss.

- "I missed you baby girl" he said in her hear. "I feel so empty when I can't see you. I was scared you might be mad at me, I needed to see you to tell you I really love you. Please, believe me."

- "Finn, please stop" she asked firmly. "Did you asked me out out of jealousy towards Damian?"

- "How can you believe it? Damian is my friend and, as I told you, I had feelings for you, so I waited to see what would happen. I couldn't let you be hurt." he explained.

- "I don't know if you really get that I'm not sure I can trust you. If you only are here because you just see me as a trophy Damian wouldn't have, please leave. I'm not a trophy, I'm not a competition, I'm not a revenge tool."

Hurt in his feelings, he pressed her even more against him, taking her hand on his own body.

- "Do you feel it? Do you think my heart would beat so fast If I was not in love with you?" He then moved her hand on his cheeks. "Don't you feel the heat you give me?" Then to his crotch. "Feel how much I love you, my body can't lie baby girl". He kissed her softly, hoping she would answer his kiss as she always did. He knew she couldn't resist him.

She finally parted her lips and he deepened the kiss, toying her tongue with his, gently biting her lips.

Mina didn't know how to react. She felt so good in his arms she was unable to resist him for some reason, but the doubt was still here. Was he really in love with her because she was with Damian? She felt her body heating up with Finn's touch and kisses. She was just wearing a towel around her body, it wasn't helping. She was horny, but not enough to lose all control over the situation.

- "Finn, am I just one more girl you want to take away from Damian? I know you fucked Liv and some others that wanted to get close to him." She said

- "They used me to get to him, I know you are different." He answered. "I know you see me for who I am. Forget that dumbass and let me be your man, your bear, your champion and your love." He pushed her toward her couch and laid on her.

Mina was lost and terrified, not by Finn but by the way she was unable to make him stop. It was now clear to her that Finn's feelings were not healthy but she couldn't resist, feeling way too safe and protected in his arms. She found the strength to speak as he was kissing her neck, going down on her shoulders.

- "Finn, listen to me, that's not a way to love someone."

- "Please baby, call me bear again" he said while kissing her breasts and gently biting on her nipples.

- "Finn, bear, please, it's just that you put all you love disappointments together and see them in me. Finn, how can I love you if you just love me for what I represent to you?" she pleaded, knowing well she could surrender to his touch.

Finn stopped his actions and looked at her, visibly hurt. She was mostly right, but he was feeling like he needed to have her love and affection to keep believing in happiness.

- "Baby girl, I just want you and nobody else." He said before kissing her deeply.

Mina surrendered to him, Finn was scarring her, where was her sweet and carring teddy bear, the one she could have fallen in love with? There was no way she could love this delusional Finn but she desired him nonetheless.

- "Finn, I don't like what you have become, but I want you, I don't understand myself, I want your body but..."

- "And I will gladly give it to you baby" he purred in her ear.

- "But I can't love the persone you have become, I just want your body Finn" she tried to explain, hoping it would ring a bell to him.

- "I'm okay with that baby girl, as long as you love something about me" He said before removing both her towel and his clothes.

She was naked, burning with desire for this man she didn't recognized anymore. He was gentle with her during their foreplay, even if she was already wet enough, he wanted to make things the good way. She understood there was no coming back when he enterred her and starting panting with excitation. He remained here a moment, before setting a forced peaceful pace.

A few days later, the whole Judgment Day was gathered in the club house to discuss matches and get done with the Witch. They needed to set up a match between Finn and Damian for the World Heavyweight Championship, but the problem was that it could break the Judgment Day apart and nobody wanted that. The public in the arena was ecstatic as this conversation was transmitted on the giant screens.

- "Do you really want to break more than two years of teaming up together for that belt?" Damian asked?

- "The belt is just a bonus, lad" Finn answered with a smirk, moving his head toward the Witch.

- "What are you implying?" Rhea asked.

- "Easy, I am in love." The crowd erupted in cheers at his announcement. "I won't let Damian have the Witch back. He betrayed her, I was here to help. She deserves a better man, a man like me" he paused for a few seconds before taking a step to Damian. "I will bring her this belt, I will be her man and her champion"

The segment ended on Damian trying to attack Finn and the others trying to separate them. When the camera went off, Mina let go of her self control.

- "What the fuck are you doing Finn? Don't bring our personnal story into work!" she shouted.

- "Listen to the fans baby girl! They love it." He tried to temper

- "Are you seriously about to ruin our faction over some love story, lad?" JD asked.

- "We can still figure that out later, come on, I want everyone to know that Mina and I are together." He said.

- "What the fuck is wrong with you, man? Mina and I always tried to keep our relationship away from the fans to avoid any issue and you just blew it up!" Damian yelled "How are we supposed to deal with this now?"

- "Well you are not together anymore, right?" Finn smirked

- "Son of a…" Damian started before being interrupted by Mina.

- "We didn't talked about being together either, Finn. I don't like the way you are bringing it." Mina said.

- "We need to find a way to fix that shit before it gets out of control" Rhea cut.

- "For now I need some air" Mina said before leaving the club house.

After avoiding Damian and Finn the whole day after the segment, she decided to get her mind out of all this at the gym. She also needed to clear her mind from what she did two nights prior. She had sex with Finn; it had been good, but not as exceptionnal as with Damian. She was regretting to have been so weak and to surrender so easily to him. Half in her thought, she exited the changing rooms and was welcomed by Bayley, Ivy and Maxxine, who had desperately tried to convince her to get back to wrestling over the past months. They told her they were sorry for the storyline and for how the segment ended and asked her if she wanted to do some sparring in the ring to get all the tension away. Mina gladly accepted and warmed up before climbing in the ring. Sure enough her reflexes came back quickly and she could perform a few stunt and hits. She had missed wrestling and it's sensations of being strong and fearless. Her back was not hurting too much so she could let herself enjoying some time, jumping, running, hitting, falling. It hit her that she hadn't felt joy for some time, Finn and Damian occupying her mind all the time. When did she go back to times when she would bury herself into work to forget about her condition? Nobody would come to help her this time, she needed to get out of it by herself. Finn had gone insane and Damian was trying to get her back, she had to make a choice, taking advantage of Finn's delusional love, going back to the man she never could forget and knew deep inside herself she was still in love with, or just turn both of them down and start a new chapter of her love life. She didn't hear Rhea entering the gym and getting close to the ring. She jumped when she applauded after her successful DDT.

- "Well well, look who is back on the ring?" Rhea chuckled.

- "Yeah, I think I needed it" she answered.

- "Forget about these two imbeciles and let's set you a match up!"

- "That might be a way to fix Finn's mess with the storyline" Mina agreed. "But please, not against you!"

Rhea laughed and joined the sparring. There were now five women in the ring, playfully performing moves on one another like teenagers enjoying a pillow fight.

Nobody had told Finn and Damian that Mina would climb on the ring that night. After a segment with Ivy and the Creed brothers, Mina had obtained a match against the Pittbull. The point of it was showing that she was not the weakness of the Judgment Day. The camera followed Finn and Damian arguing in a corridor about the Title and Mina. They were surprised when their music echoed in the arena.

- "Who has a match tonight?" Damian asked

- "Nobody" Finn answered.

They ran to get to a TV and found Rhea, Dom and JD already watching. On the screen they saw Mina in her wrestling attire under a large cloak, walking straight to the ring, eyed sparkling with determination. In the ring stood Ivy, waiting for her opponent.

- "You were so eager to argue about which one of you would get her heart that you made people think she was our weakness. She is on her way to prove you wrong one more time" Rhea smiled.

The camera went off and they all gathered in front of the screen, Rhea in the middle.

- "Nobody told us she was going to have a match" Damian said.

- "Because now she needs to stand for herself at work too." Dom answered.

On the ring, the public was erupting as the commentators yelled "The Witch is back!". The bell rang and Mina and Ivy started by some grappling, something she was more comfortable with than jumps, which were still painful for her back. After a few stunts and ropes runs, Mina managed to get advantage on her powerful opponent. After failing to lock her in a submission posture twice, she avoided a powerbomb that could have cost her the match. Distracted by the entrance of the Creed Brothers, coming to observe the match, she almost got pinned by Ivy but kicked out at two. The crowd was overexcited by the match they were having. Mina was doing her best to be fast, it was her signature for the last match she had. She was standing on the second rope, interacting with the public when she felt Ivy dashing toward the turnbuckle, she jumped backwards to land behind the blond woman and bring her to the ground, locking her in her signature triangle. How funny it was, she won the match against Liv with a triangle, was currently locked in a love triangle and was now winning her return match with that very same triangle lock. She smirk at this thought when Ivy tapped the ring, meaning she surrendered. The Judgment Day music echoed through the arena and she celebrated on the ring, just when Damian and Finn came running, a microphone on their hand.

- "Good job baby girl!" Finn cheered.

- "Why didn't you tell us you were back in the ring? We would have come for you!" Damian asked.

- "Because I needed to handle things on my own" she answered. "You wanted a match for the title and for me? Guys, The Witch is back and she won't let you decide for her." She spat before dropping the microphone and heading to the locker room.
