My suite in the hotel began to fill as my friends arrived to get ready with us. Chantelle thought it would be nice for us to all get dressed up together before going out, I also thought that maybe she did it because she liked the idea of having a whole team of makeup artists around while getting ready. Each person had given me a hug as they arrived and wished me a happy birthday, and even though I had said not to, they each gave me a small gift. Shana got me a charm bracelet with one charm already on it, a little lipstick, Terry gave me a charm for it that was a little makeup brush, Tanzi gave me a tiny mirror charm, and I loved how they'd kept to the makeup theme, so the bracelet always reminded me of them. Aubrey had got me a new passport cover with matching luggage label, winking as she did, and I didn't have the heart to tell her I wasn't going to Japan after all. Ruby gave me a framed photo of the 2 of us together and honestly, I loved it.

They all sang happy birthday to me, much to my dismay and Terry made us some cocktails as we set about picking what to wear. Once all outfits had been decided, Chantelle put the music on again and everyone began doing hair and makeup while I thought about Will yet again. Chantelle hadn't cancelled my flights or any of my plans yet, still hoping I'd change my mind. Will hadn't text me at all today and hadn't tried to come and see me or give me my gift in person, I assumed that he knew I wasn't happy with him. My plan for the night was to look amazing, tell him my decision to stay, ask him what was going on between us and then drink too much, dance until my feet hurt and pass out in my hotel room. With that in mind, I grabbed my false eyelashes and began my makeup.

After about 2 hours and a couple of cocktails, we were ready, so we took a bunch of photos and got ready to head out. Before leaving, everybody checked their appearance and as always, I inspected my outfit from my feet up. New matte black Louboutin heeled pumps, freshly waxed tanned legs with no tights, new black high waisted Gucci skirt that accentuated my figure, freshly done silver acrylic nails, silver bracelets on my wrists, White and Grey Versace crop top, no necklace for a change, but my freshly straightened hair falling perfectly over my shoulders. With one last spray of perfume in all the usual places, I grabbed my purse and we headed out.

We approached a large nightclub and it looked pretty busy as we walked in, I was glad Chantelle had booked us a table in the VIP area considering just how many people were already in the club. A member of staff led the way up the stairs to the VIP area and I couldn't believe my eyes, the VIP area was an entire balcony overlooking the main dance floor, booths all around the back wall, a small dance floor area and it's own small bar, and even a photographer walking around taking pictures, the area already pretty full. I gasped when I realized they were all there for me, I could see wrestlers, refs, officials and EVP's from work, and almost screamed when I saw 2 of my friends from Cali, Lexi and Gemma who I hadn't seen in weeks. Chantelle informed me she had booked the entire VIP area for us as I hugged my friends and instantly got handed a drink, then I noticed Aussie Open by the bar, meaning he was around. And then I saw him.

"What's the plan?" Chantelle called over the music when she saw who I had spotted. I glanced at Will, sitting in a booth by himself, looking sexy in his tight jeans and black shirt. "I'm going to thank him for my wonderful gift, decline his offer to be his assistant and then ask him what I am to him." I said confidently as I had a deep drink from my glass and took a deep breathe. She nodded, but then I was swarmed by my friends, everyone hugging me, wishing me a happy birthday and offering to buy me drinks. At this point, I could tell Will had spotted me, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see him watching my every move. I used this to my advantage, not looking in his direction, like I didn't know he was there as I moved around greeting people, and instead I flicked my hair over my shoulder, smiled as much as I could and made sure to sway my hips with every step I took, I even had a little flirt with Wardlow, touching his shoulder and giggling as we conversed. Eventually, I decided it was time. I downed my drink, followed by a shot that Shana handed to me, took another deep breathe and strode towards Will, swinging my hips and not taking my eyes off him.

As soon as I got to the booth, he stood up, walked around the table and pulled me into a tight hug "Happy birthday gorgeous" he said into my ear, sending a shiver down my spine, he kept his hands on my hips as we pulled back from the hug "Thank you, and thanks for my gift, it was really thoughtful, but I need to talk to you, you need to know my answer and I have some questions for you." "Let me go first. I loved hanging out with you the last few weeks, I asked you to come to Japan with me so I could take you on proper dates and keep getting to know you, because I really fucking like you Sam. And before you give me your answer, let me give you your proper present" he said and my heart practically stopped as he pulled my body against his and his lips met mine. Finally. Butterflies in my stomach, my hands quickly found their way to his toned shoulders as I moved my lips against his and my whole body all but melted into him. The kiss didn't last long, but long enough to take my breathe away and answer most of my questions. As he pulled away, I could see the sparkle in his blue eyes as they searched my own green eyes and couldn't keep the smile off my face "Now that, was a perfect gift" I almost whispered, a small smile appearing on his lips.

He tucked my hair behind my ear and lightly pecked my lips one more time "I've been waiting ages to do that" he smiled and I giggled a little "Well what took you so long!" He just grinned back at me before speaking "You wanted to talk to me?" I nodded in response "Yes, my flights are booked and everything is in place for me to come to Japan, but I have one condition" He raised an eyebrow at me waiting for me to continue "Never make me wait that long for a kiss again" I grinned at him and he simply leaned in, pressing another soft kiss to my lips before he asked "How about I just make you my girlfriend? Will you come with me then?" And I nodded, finding his hand and lacing my fingers though his. It had turned into the best birthday I'd ever had and the night was still young. I chatted to Will about the conversation I overheard and he explained that I missed his response and we put the whole thing behind us. Chantelle screamed with joy when I told her he'd asked me to be his girlfriend and I was going to be his assistant after all, and she took the opportunity to buy a bottle of champagne to celebrate my new job. We all danced through the night, drank a lot and the Aussie Open boys even lifted me onto their shoulders at one point, proclaiming me an honorary member of The United Empire.

The night was truly everything I could've asked for and more, Will barely left my side all night, always finding an excuse to touch me, whether he kept his hand on my waist when we chatted to people, or he held my hand when we danced, even just leaning on the bar next to me as we ordered drinks, his shoulder against mine. We got loads of photos thanks to the photographer Chantelle hired, I danced on a table at one point and I even saw Chantelle making out with Wardlow during the night. It was a complete success, I was beyond happy, all my favorite people around me and Will by my side, it was a night I would never forget. Well, as long as I didn't drink too much.

Author's notes: FINALLY <3

I can't decide if this story should end at Forbidden Door and I could maybe write a sequel about her being his assistant as they go to Japan for the G1 Climax, or if I should just keep it all in this story and keep on writing? Help.

I do hope you all enjoy this, please keep commenting, voting, and making requests for my other books. Don't forget to follow me for more wrestling antics!
