It's A Hard Knock Life

Chapter 35

Hayley had a little over a month of her tour left. She couldn't wait to get back to Sam. She'd already had five successful title defenses. It was early in the morning. Hayley had just finished her room service breakfast. Her cell phone rang.

"Hello?" She said.

"Morning baby." Sam said.

"Morning."

"What's up?"

"I just finished my breakfast."

"Six more weeks." He said excitedly.

"I know."

"Do you miss me?"

"Not really." She said jokingly.

"Ouch."

"I'm kidding baby"

"I know."

"Of course I miss you."

"I miss you to." "I confirmed our hotel reservations for our New York trip today."

"I can't wait to go." "I'm really looking forward to it."

"So am I."

"I definitely want to go back to Central Park." "We haven't been there since our first kiss."

"We'll go there."

"I've been thinking." "Still wanna give me skating lessons?"

"Yeah"

"When I come back, I want you to help me pick out a board."

"Really?"

"Yes." "I know I'll never be as good as you are but I want to try it."

"You'll see, it'll be fun

"I have to go honey."

"Ok, I love you."

"I love you too, bye."

"Bye."

Hayley and the rest of the roster showed up at the arena for a show. The power was out in the building. After waiting for several hours without the power coming back on, it was decided the show would be cancelled. Hayley decided she was going to drive to where Dynamite was taking place. She knew she wouldn't get there until after the show was over, but she knew she could still surprise Sam at the hotel.

At around 10:30 that night, Sam just got back to the room after grabbing dinner When he went inside he saw candlelight reflecting on the bedroom door. He smiled and took off his shirt.

"Hey baby." He said walking into the bedroom. "This is a surprise." He did get a surprise but not the one he was expecting. Priscilla was standing there in a short, silk, red robe. "Priscilla, what are you doing?"

"I want to be with you again Sam." She said coming closer to him. "I'm sorry, for everything." She took off the robe. She was naked. "I still love you." She kissed him. He kissed her back but only for a second before breaking it.

"Priscilla."

"Oh my god." He heard Hayley's voice say from behind him. He turned around. Hayley was standing there with a shocked look on her face.

"Oh god." Sam said realizing what it looked like. "Hayley no." Hayley ran out. "Hayley wait!" Sam yelled running after her. She got into an open elevator. By the time Sam got to it the doors were closed. He thought about taking the stairs but knew he would never make it, since they were on the ninth floor.

Hayley drove off sobbing. She felt like her whole world had just ended.
