Wrestling One Shots/Short Stories

Kip Sabian

"You're getting married?" I questioned my heart in the pit of my stomach as Kip's words spiraled in my head. "Yeah! Penelope and I decided it's time." Kip grinned clapping Miro on the back as I tried to register what was happening "That's great Kip, I'm so happy for you" I choked out gritting my teeth to hold back the tears that wanted to break free. "I knew you would be. You're my best friend, and I want you to be the Maid of Honor." He smiled my heart sinking even further if that were possible. "Of course, Kip, I wouldn't miss it for the world" I nodded hugging him back half-heartedly before he jogged away. "Will you be alright" Miro questioned as soon as Kip was out of ear shot the man knowing my deep feelings for our friend. "No." I choked out tears sliding down my cheeks as he pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm sorry Sarah" he sighed rubbing my back gently until his phone started to ring. "Take it I'll be alright" I sighed pulling back and wiping my cheeks free of tears "I need to go get my makeup touched up and head to my match anyway" I added with a small shrug "I'll see you later" he nodded answering the phone as I turned and headed towards hair and makeup. "Hey Emmi, I need a touch up" I sighed sitting down in the chair and letting her work her magic, the woman hiding any evidence of what had just happened brilliantly. "Thanks Em" I sighed fighting to not rub my face now that she had just finished fixing it. "No problem, Sar, all this work and Diamante is just gonna ruin it" she laughed giving me a quick hug before I went on my way struggling to focus on work and not the personal torment going on in my head. I don't remember much of the match just that even after it was over, I still had adrenaline and energy rushing through my veins. I didn't even bother changing out of my gear just headed back to the hotel and straight for the gym needing to try and work out the rest of my energy or I would never sleep. I unfortunately wasn't alone for long as shortly after I started on the treadmill Kip walked in with his stupid smile on his stupid face.

"Oh I'm sorry Kip, I'm sorry that I'm not thrilled you're marrying a whore" I grunted under my breath as the man went on and on about the woman and the wedding. What I had hoped would be a peaceful chance to relax and get some of my pent-up energy out just creating more energy and putting me even more on edge than I was. "What?" he asked as I stopped my workout and started to leave the gym "Nothing Kip. You must be hearing things. I'm calling it a night" I stated shortly grabbing my bag and walking out of the room without another word. "What is up with you? You've been extra bitchy." Kip snapped following me through the hotel and towards my room. "I'm fine Kip, you're overreacting." I grumbled unlocking my room and stepping inside dumping my duffle bag on the bed and moving to turn the lights on only to be stopped by a hard and warm body. "I'm not. You aren't yourself and it's starting to piss me off." Kip grunted hands gripping my hips tightly. "Kip you need to leave." I was fighting not to succumb to the feeling of his hands on me in such an intimate way, "No not until we fix whatever is wrong" he grunted the warmth of his breath drifting across my face. I don't know what came over me as I lashed out, the two of us fighting in the dark running into the table, the dresser and the back of the couch in our struggle. Something crashed and shattered on the floor before I fell backwards and ended up pinned to the floor by him. "Are you done" he grunted both of us out of breath as I continued to struggle no match for his size and weight. "Are. You. Done." He growled out each word emphasized with a rough squeeze to my wrists. "Please leave Kip" I whimpered feeling the tears streaking down my cheeks as I felt his upper body grow closer "You can fight me as much as you want, you can try to be a bitch and push me away. You can do whatever you think you need to, but I will never stop loving and caring about you" he whispered before his weight was suddenly gone and the door was slamming shut leaving me shocked and alone in the dark. I don't know how long I laid there before I finally found the strength to push myself up and fall into the bed my body, mind and heart all aching.

"What the hell happened to you?" Ally yelled as I stepped into the women's locker room for the show. "I don't wanna talk about it" I grumbled tired and sore, when I had finally fallen asleep at almost 4am I not only woke up exhausted and confused but I woke up with scrapes and bruises adorning my body from the fight with Kip. "Okay fine don't talk about it but Brandi is gonna freak" She shrugged her words making me groan in annoyance "Maybe I can convince Diamante to attack me, and I can tell Brandi it was that" I suggested sighing as both women being talked about walked in the older of the two stopping and looking me over before she gestured for me to follow her back out. "There goes that plan" I mumbled to myself dropping my bag and following after the woman to her office. "What the hell happened to your face" she questioned moving past Cody to sit at her desk watching me closely as I slowly and stiffly moved forward. "Nothing Brandi, just a little scrap, it won't cause any problems" I sighed crossing my arms over my chest and refusing to look at either of the people in the room with me. "I know this whole thing with Kip and Penelope is taking its toll on you. If you need some time off just say so." She whispered the caring tone to her words making me shoulders sag in defeat. "Maybe that's not such a bad idea" I shrugged half-heartedly "Kip and I went at it last night and" I gestured to myself non-committedly letting them know that was how the scrapes and bruises happened "Why don't you head out, after the match the other night no one will question you being out for a while" Cody advised both of them nodding and sending me on my way. I purchased a plane ticket back to Florida on my way to the locker room saying a quick goodbye to the girls before I grabbed a cab and headed for the airport.

"When are you coming back? This locker room sucks without you" Ally spoke the frown more than evident on her face part of me feeling bad for the girl as I stretched out on the soft grass by my pool. "I don't know Bunny, it's nice not feeling like I'm getting stabbed in the heart every time I leave my hotel room" I sighed taking another drink of my water as I stared up at the clouds, a storm rolling in meaning my tanning would be cut short. Pushing up to my feet I picked up my glass and headed into the house as she sighed heavily from the other side "That suit looks killer on you by the way" she commented making me grin "A friend with great taste sent it to me" I joked glad that it got her to smile "I do have great taste I know" she grinned "And your hair is growing on me every time we face time. It's so cute when it's curled and kind of messy like that" she finally admitted the relief I felt almost surprising me "Finally, I thought I was going to have to start wearing a wig" I grinned a small silence falling over the phone "I just wish you could come back and be happy again" she mumbled rolling her eyes. "Me too Bunny, and maybe one day. I just need space from KIP!" I shrieked in shock seeing the man sitting at my kitchen counter with his head in his hands. "Well yeah him but Jesus I already knew that you didn't have to scream" she mumbled giving me another eye roll "No Ally. Kip as in he's here, in my house" I muttered the man looking at me with no expression "I better get a phone call with all the deets later" she shrieked before the screen went black leaving me and my once best friend in an uncomfortable silence. "Am I really the reason you left, won't come back" he questioned lowly making me sigh in defeat "It's not YOU that made me leave Kip." I stressed not wanting to say the reason out loud knowing it would change everything about our relationship. "It's everything, it just got to be too much. And then after our fight that night Brandi and Cody sent me home" I shrugged "That was over a month ago, why haven't you come back. Why haven't you come home?" He snapped pushing back from the counter and stepping right in front of me his glare leveled at me.

"Because you are my home Kip but right now it kills me every time, I think about it knowing that you aren't mine" I whimpered trying to push away from him hating that what I thought was going to be my safe space was now contaminated by the man I was trying so hard not to think about. "It took you leaving for so long for me to realize you're my home too" he whispered hands settling on my bare hips making me acutely aware of how much skin I was showing. "I broke it off with Penelope. I couldn't tell how wrong it was because you were always right there." He sighed heavily "But once you left, I realized most of me was missing and I just felt wrong" he murmured one hand cupping my cheek as the other slid to my back. "This is where I belong. With you, in my arms." He whispered leaning down and closing the rest of the distance between us our lips touching for the first time making me realize just how much I had been missing all these years. "I should go put some clothes on" I mumbled pulling back from the kiss, my cheeks burning at all the emotions I was feeling at the moment. "You don't have to get dressed on my account" he smirked hands gently caressing the bare skin of my mid-section. "I do have to get dressed if we're going to go get some food and talk though" I smiled slightly pulling away from him completely and heading for my room opting to just pull on some sweatpants and a cropped sweatshirt over my swimsuit before I returned to his side. "After you M'lady" he grinned holding his hand out for me to walk first his keys jingling in his hands as I started for the front door. "I like your hair by the way" he said casually the blush rushing right back to my cheeks at the compliment. "Diner?" I suggested climbing into the passenger seat as he started the car "Wherever you want to go Love" he nodded backing out of the driveway and making the short drive to our go to diner. I wasn't really sure what would happen, but I did know that no matter how long it took I wanted my best friend back.
