AJ's POV:
I couldn't sleep that night. My mind was racing faster than my heart because of all the crazy shit that has went down tonight. My husband is downtown explaining to the police that it was self defense against Colby and not because he's feuding with the company. Seeing Phil in handcuffs was the worst part of the night. This is all that damn Colby's fault. Son of a bitch.
I turned around to where I was lying on my side and I watched as Saraya snored softly. She'd fallen asleep after fighting to stay awake with me since I told her that I couldn't sleep. She's a very, very beautiful sleeper with her chest rising up then back down gently while breathing patiently. This is the most innocent I've ever seen her and it's so endearing. Have you ever watched the person you're in love with so peaceful sleeping? It's an experience you'll never forget.
It would've been a heartwarming moment but then I heard her phone buzz on the table beside the bed. I quickly sat up and stared at it. Should I answer it? Do I wanna be that chick that answers other people's phone just out of curiosity? Who'd be calling her this late? Why? I'm not even this paranoid if Phil's phone goes off in the middle of the night.
No April, I thought to myself. You will not be that chick. Especially since you and Paige aren't together. Just because you're close to it, doesn't mean you are and if you were, trust her. Just. Trust her. It never failed to cross my mind that maybe Saraya wasn't actually in love with me.
Maybe this was all mind games to get close to my Divas Championship. Maybe she dragged Colby into it and that's who she really loves. Would she stoop that low? To sacrifice our friendship, my marriage, Dean's heart, and my already fragile mental state? She knows how I am when it comes love. She's seen it played out on TV, everyone has. I finally found the one and I was done with love but then she decides to come up with the fact that she's in love with me?
Why now? Why after knowing her for three years does she confess now? Maybe she's confused by the storyline. Hell, maybe I am. I just don't know. My feelings are confused when it comes to her.
I leaned and kissed her forehead slowly then ran my fingers down her Raven hair gently so I wouldn't wake her up. The damn phone kept buzzing again and again. I started to wake her up but I stopped myself. I wouldn't want to wake her. Especially if it's something unimportant and could've waited.
But I couldn't wait. That's why I snatched the phone off the table and looked at it.
Colby had sent her a thousand and one text messages and three voicemails. I listened to the first one.
"Where are you? I wanted you in my bed tonight. Do you remember the deal? You're suppose to answer when I call you, Saraya. Just whatever. Don't reply. Just get here."
And then the second.
"Alright listen. You're probably upset about Punk getting arrested and me getting the cops involved but what was I suppose to do? Look it wasn't even my idea. This was Hunter's to try and stick it to him. He got the cops involved. Saraya, you know me better then that. Look, just come here. We don't have to have sex or whatever, just hear me out."
And the third one.
"I'm in the park. You remember the park? You and I use to come here always and watch the dumb ass ducks and feed them and shit. I would complain that it was corny as hell and you'd agree but you refused to leave them unfed...I fucked up. I know I did but if you just come here, we can fix this. I don't wanna be the bad guy anymore. Ever since The Shield broke up, I've been so wrapped up in being Seth Rollins that I became him. I lost sight of who I am, who I really am. You know me better than anyone and you know that this isn't who I am, just meet me here. Please..."
