Chapter Twenty

Chloe

Waking up in my fiance's arm feels more than good. It feels right. It feels like I want to do it for the rest of my life. Moving slowly as to not wake him, I prop my head on my arm and watch him sleep.

I used to do this when we were together the first time. Not in a weird way, but I just couldn't believe that someone could make me feel the way he does. When he sleeps, it's the best time to admire the man in his most vulnerable state.

Leaning over, I check the time and know the alarm is about to go off so i push the button. I then start peppering his face with kisses. His lips purse as if he's trying to kiss back even in his sleep. I giggle when he takes my thighs in his hands and makes me straddle his waist. He tabgles his fingers in my hair so he can pull me in for a proper kiss.

" Mmm, morning, darlin'. "

Kissing him once more I say, " morning ", before I get up as to not entice him. I start picking up our clothes from last night and pack them away. " We gotta get ready so we don't miss our check out time. "

Groaning, he gets out of bed and marches right up to me in his DX boxers. Yeah, he really does wear the merch day to day. " We aren't even married yet and you're bossing me around. " He says while snaking his arms around my back.

" Boy, I've been bossing you around since day one. " I say into his neck before placing a playful bite on it.

I feel the sting of his palm landing on my left butt cheek. " Sounds like you'll be bossing me around forever. "

" Well, well, well. Look what I've walked in on. "

Shawn whirls me behind him and takes on a defensive stance. " what are you doing here? "

Once I'm sure it isn't some serial killer I step from behind him and let my eyes settle on the last person I expected. Rebeccah.

And her beady little eyes are trained directly on me.

" So this is who you've been shacking up with. " She says while looking at me up and down with an air of arrogance.

I know this bitch isn't trying to size me up. Shawn sees the look of fury in my eyes and smartly gets in between us with his arms out. " You haven't answered my question... What are you doing here? "

She gives him a fake hurt expression. " I'm not allowed to see you now? "

" That's what divorce means. " I bite out no believing the nerve of this adulterous bitch.

Her eyes widen in shock before she paint that stup[id smirk back on her face. " Ooh, so she does have a voice. I thought you'd just stay silent. "

" Oh please, you've watched me for YEARS. " I remind her just who she's talking to. " You know I don't have an issue saying anything to anyone, least of all a bi- female dog like you. How the hell did you get in our room anyway? "

Shrugging simply she says, " My license still says Rebeccah Hickenbottom. All I needed to do was tell the front desk that I was locked out of " mine and my husbands " room and they made me a new key. "

" Your husband? You mean your ex husband who you cheated on? " Burgandy. That's what I'm seeing at the moment.

" Yup. " She says popping the P. " The same one that cheated on you with me. "

It's then that Shawn has enough and puts his foot down. " Okay, enough! Rebeccah, you need to leave. "

" Okay. " She says simply like it's no big deal before shouldering her bag.

When she's close enough I lunge and get so fucking close to pulling her to the ground by her bleach-fried hair. Unluckly for me, Shawn grabs me back just in time.

" What is she doing here? " I turn and damn near screech at him as venom seeps through my pores.

Running his fingers through his hair in irritation he says, " I don't know. There isn't any reason for her to be. I haven't seen her since our divorce was finalized. And before that, I hadn't seen her since before I found out about the affair. "

Red flags are waving in every direction.

" That just tells me that she's plotting something. " I know I'm right. " If I see her in the arena tonight, you won't be able to stop me from getting to her. "

Putting his hands on my shoulders he looks me directly in the eyes so he knows I'm listening to him. " I need you to control that temper, babe. "

" She doesn't belong here, Shawn. " I tell him seriously because she doesn't. " I won't allow her to come in and punk me on my turf. I have a reputation that I've worked too hard to maintain. "

He sighhs and shakes his head in exasperation. " I'm not asking you to let her punk you... You've been known to throw the first shot, that's all I'm saying. Don't get me wrong, it's hot, but you're just going to give her the reaction she wants. "

Oh She'll definitely be getting a reaction. Just not one she's going to be ready for.

The second that we get to the arena I head straight for my sister in laws office. She opens the door with a smile but when she see the livid look on my face it vanishes.

" What's wrong? " She asks worriedly while letting me in.

Taking a seat I heave a huge sigh. " Tell me you didn't know. "

" Know what? " She asks in confusion.

Of course she wouldn't blind side me like that. " Rebeccah is here... "

" Shawn's ex-wife? " She asks as he eyes go wide in surprise. " Why the hell is she here? "

" She showed up at the hotel this morning and almost got her ass beat. Lucky for her Shawn stopped me. It just reeks of Vince McMahon. "

She sighs and shakes her head. " Sadly I wouldn't put it past him if it means good ratings. "

" This is the woman that he left me for. " I say pitifully while shrinking back in the chair.

Giving me a look of sympathy she says, " don't do that to yourself, Chlo. He was in a bad place and knew he didn't deserve you. She deserved the hot mess he was at the time. And when he got his shit together fate intervened and gave you guys a second chance. Don't let her try to ruin that. "

Twirling my beautiful engagement ring I ponder her words. " Oh trust me, he isn't going anywhere. Your dad should be more worried about what I'll do to her if this is his doing. "

" That's what he's most likely banking on. " She says knowingly. " He has always been team Chloe, you know that... Even if he does go about it the wrong way. This would be huge for the fans who all know that she's his ex-wife and you're his " ex-girlfriend ". The crowd will eat it up. And because she showed up at your hotel it won't be a surprise to you. Use this to your advantage. "

Just last month we were talking about me getting into a rivalry with Beth Pheonix. We even have a meeting coming up with Beth. Now apparently I'm going to have to shelf that in favor of kicking Rebeccah's ass.

" I need to talk to Hunter. "

I can't believe she had the audacity to manipulate her way into your hotel room.

" Tam, she's out of her damned mind. " I say into my cell while cooling down on the treadmill. " If Shawn hadn't pulled me back I'd have been arrested. "

Same, babe. I've had to beat down a few bitches in my day over Kevin.

True that. Tam can be very scary over her man. " Steph says that if her dad is involved it's all for the good of my image. That he's always been " team Chloe " so she must be here for some big humiliation. "

That would be the best case scenario. Shawn already had that moment before you all put the band back together. It makes sense that Vince would want to do the same to the woman that stole a taken man.

" You really think he did all of that because of what Shawn did to me? "

I think you've never really understood just how much you've meant to the company and Vince. You are the backbone of the Kliq and everyone knows it. Sophomore pranks aside, you've always been able to reel those guys in when they were crossing the line... With just a few exceptions where they purposefully left you out so you couldn't stop them.

She would have to bring the Montreal thing into this.

Vince sees you as his oldest daughter most days and you know it. After all the times you've let Stephanie and Shane have it without repercussion, your last name should be McMahon.

I don't know about that last part. I'm content with being a Hart. But she is right. I've known Stephanie since she was like seventeen or something. It started out adversarial because she wasn't used to the women in her father's company being so unbothered by her blatant bitchiness. Nor was she used to being challenged by any woman except Linda.

I still remember the day she tried to get me fired. Vince calmly let her know that if she didn't leave me alone and let me do my job she wouldn't be allowed on the road anymore. Oops. It's true that when you're making him money, he will pretty much let you do whatever. Including putting the princess in her place.

Honestly, I'm still not all that convinced that she didn't go after Hunter in some weird, " if you can turn my dad against me then I'll take your brother from you " kind fo thing. Too bad she didn't realize soon enough that just like Shane is with her, Hunter is stuck with me. It's a forever kind of thing.

" All I know is that if she doesn't watch her ass, it's going to get kicked. I only have so much patience in me. " I sigh out as the treadmill comes to a complete stop.

Speaking of patience... How's the wedding planning coming?

" Slow. Shawn has us in counseling sessions at his church. We can only get married when our pastor gives us his blessing. "

That sounds lame. Your poor sex life is clearly suffering.

Snorting I say, " what sex life? I haven't had any satisfaction in like a year. "

Yeah, these religious types love preaching purity. As if you two don't the ins and outs of each other's bodies at this point.

" That's what I'm saying. It shouldn't matter if we're fornicating or not because neither of us are virgins. " I complain before looking at the clock. " Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. I'll call you later with more gossip. "

Okay Chlo, just take it easy okay?

" I'll try. " I promise.
