Bayley- And They Were Roommates

Bayley is amazing. I mean, of course she is. She's my best friend. We were friends in NXT and came up together to the main roster. We've watched each other grow over the years and take different paths. We became close, and she invited me to move in with her.

So here we are in the present day. She's the leader of Damage CTRL, and I'm on a singles run.

Bayley and I want to have a girls' night, so we invited Dakota, Iyo, and Mercedes over. It was nice to see Mercedes again since it's been a while. Unfortunately, I haven't seen her since the day she walked out. We had a couple of drinks, and we also ordered pizza and wings.

Spending time with my favorite people is therapeutic. My old friends and my new ones under one roof. Could life be any better than this? Actually, yes, it could be. Yes, Bayley is my best friend. I wish she could be more than that. Ever since her, Mercedes and I were in NXT together, I've liked her. My feelings slowly grew over the years. I love her. There's no ifs ands or buts about it.

I told Mercedes about it when I came to terms with how I was feeling. I've tried to work up the courage to tell Bayley, but I always stop. The words are on the tip of my tongue, but thats where they stay. The meaningful words never leave my mouth.

Yeah, Bayley and I are close. We make time out of our busy schedules for each other. That's normal for best friends. When we sit next to each other, we have some sort of physical contact. I mean, that's normal, too. There's no reason why we couldn't platonically cuddle.

There's one thing that stood out to me, though. Something that tells me the relationship we have is different. In the time we've known each other, we've had sex before.

It was a random night when we stayed in and decided to drink due to stress from work and our personal lives. One of the times Bayley got injured, she was staying home, and I was getting booked poorly at work. We were both upset, frustrated, hell we were angry. It was her idea. She put the offer on the table so we could let off some steam. I'm not gonna make up an excuse saying we didn't know what we were doing. We may have been buzzed, but we were fully aware. The next morning, we never mentioned it. It was like a silent agreement to not talk about it. To act like it never happened.

I've tried to move on from the crush I have on my best friend. I went out and tried to date, but nothing ever lasted. I guess they lack the qualities that I love about Bayley.

"It's getting late. We're gonna head home." Dakota spoke up.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I stood up and hugged Iyo and Dakota. "Safe drive home, it was great seeing you."

"You too! Thank you for having us." Iyo responded with a smile.

We waved as they went out of the door. All that's left is Mercedes, Bayley, and I. "Are you heading home too, Mercedes?" Bayley asked our best friend.

"Nah, I drank too much to drive. I'll crash here for the night and leave tomorrow." We nodded with relief, happy she made a responsible decision.

As per usual, Bayley let Mercedes take her room. Bayley will stay in mine for the night. I decided to hop in the shower before bed. Bayley went in after me. I got dressed and finished my nightly routine before getting into bed.

A half an hour later, Bayley crawled into with me. "Are you awake?" I'm half asleep, but I'm too tired to respond. I heard her sigh. "You look peaceful when you sleep. Beautiful as always. You really have no idea." She paused, but only for a moment. "You don't know how much I love you. I've loved you since we came up to the main roster together. That's why I sleep with you. Ever since then, I've fallen harder for you. God, you really got me wrapped around your finger. If you told me to jump, I'd ask you how high." She sighed again and moved closer to me. I felt Bayley wrap an arm around me, being the big spoon. Surprising her and myself, I moved closer so our bodies were actually touching. "God, I love you, I really do. Goodnight." My heart skipped a beat as I felt her leave a gentle kiss on my cheek.

Holy shit.....Bayley loves me back.

****

Waking up in Bayley's arms felt right. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay in this blissful state. I had to get up. Mainly so I can gather my thoughts and fully process what happened last night.

I gently removed myself from Bayley's arms and made my way to the kitchen. I went to the table and sat down. Running my hands over my face, I sighed. I heard Mercedes come out of the bathroom. "Morning, what's up with you?"

She sat down beside me. "Bayley likes me back." I looked at Mercedes, who raised her eyebrows. "Yeah, she thought I was asleep and confessed to me. Little did she know, I was awake."

"What are you gonna do now?" Mercedes smirked at me. She knows the answer, and so do I.

"Hey, guys." Bayley walked into the kitchen, straight to the Keurig, to make herself coffee.

"Go get your girl." Mercedes whispered and nudged my arm.

I took a deep breath and nodded. I got up and made my way to my best friend. I noticed she got out two mugs and a glass. The glass had sweet tea in it, and the other two held coffee. "Hey, Bayley."

She looked at me. "Yeah?" I reached for her hand. She looked down, then back up to meet my eyes. "What's the matter?"

I thought back to last night, to the things I heard her say. This is it, now or never. I have to tell her how I feel. "I heard you last night. I heard it all. I was still awake, but too exhausted to open my eyes and respond." Bayley looked shocked. All she did was look at me. "Did you mean it?"

She nodded and softly smiled at me. "Yeah, I mean it. I meant every word I said."

I let go of Bayley's hand so I could hold her face. Her hands went straight for my waist to pull me closer. "I love you too." Her smile grew, and so did mine.

"Good, that means I can finally do this." Our lips collided for a long awaited kiss.

"Finally!" Mercedes said after we pulled away. "Do you know how long I've waited for this? So many years of both of you backing out of confessing." She walked over and hugged us. "I love you both, but damn it, you can be dense."
