Am I More Than You Bargained For Yet?

Chapter 11

"Hey."
"Shit!" Ava recovered, almost dropping the coffee in her hand.
"Shit, sorry Ava. I didn't mean to scare you." Chris laughed as she turned around. It had been a week since that night, and now they were back at the impact zone Chris was taking his opportunity.

"Well, yeah, sneaking up behind me to whisper in my ear prolly isn't the best way to go about not scaring me." He chuckled, mumbling a quick 'sorry, sorry.'

"Dang girl, you look good." He smirked, not backing off.
She laughed heartily, "Yeah, I'm runnin' on two hours sleep and ready in ten minutes, don't lie to me Sabin, especially while talking like a ghetto fabulous Sonjay."

Chris laughed. "Ava, I'm serious. You look gorgeous." He smiled warmly as they made eye contact. "Uh. I. Thank. I gotta go." She said, trying to push past him to give Dixie her now probably cold coffee. He touched her arm, stopping her.

"Look. I just.. I came here to ask you if maybe you might wanna, you know, not tonight if you don't want to, like maybe next week sometime or maybe tomorrow if your still here or like-" He stopped, scratching the back of his neck. "Go out with me."

She was taken aback by his sudden shyness. She laughed a little, looking to the floor. This wasn't how this was supposed to be working.

"I can't."
Chris's eyes widened. "What?"
"I... Can't." She spoke with little conviction.
He crossed his arms, these mixed signals were a total boner kill.

"You can't?"
"I don't date wrestlers." She smiled, turning her back on him.
"Not even the really cute ones?" She couldn't help but swoon. He truly was adorable.

She sighed, shaking her head even though she was no longer facing him. She began to walk towards the exit, proud of herself. She would be the one to make the first move, she knew it.

"Avvvvvaaaa. Just One Date!" His yell echoed throughout the catering area. The catering area that was filled with almost every wrestler on the roster. She turned to face him. He had the biggest shit eating grin on his face. The entire room was standing, staring at the pair.

Ava fucking hated crowds.
"I. Uh. Um."
"Oh come on, Williams! You're not gonna embarrass me in front of all these good people are you?" Chris grinned, holding out his arms to motion to all the wrestlers surrounding them.

There was silence for a moment.
"Oh come on, darlin! He's dumb as hell but he'll pay for everything!" Everyone laughed as James Storm yelled across the room.

Chris didn't even flinch. He just held eye contact with the blonde haired beauty at the exit. Ava took a deep breath, holding up one finger, mouthing to the x-divison star. "One date."

Chris grinned as she walked out, and the room went back to normal. He stood in the exact same spot for the longest time. Alex slapped his back, "Good job man, you risked being publicly humiliated by a cute chick and got a date out of it... You okay?" Chris turned to his best friend with a huuuuge grin on his face. "Me? I'm fucking awesome."
