Love You Forever

Chapter 27

We eventually surrender the ring to Dean and Summer, and they happily take on our offer.

As Dean passes by me, he stops, speaking to where only I can hear him. "I want a rematch, sweetheart." Then he passes me on, following Summer to the ring.

I follow Seth back to his lockerroom.

"Well that was fun." I plop down on the couch.

"So, what's their thing? Are they together?"

I shrug. "That's not my business."

"For someone who used to be in love with the guy, you seem totally fine."

"Because I am fine." I turn to look at him. "Dean ended us. I'm fine with it. Besides, maybe we're just reading too far into it. Maybe they're just friends like us."

"True, but wouldn't you like to know?" I furrow my brows together. "I mean, if I were you, I'd wanna know if my ex was dating only a few days after we broke up."

I shrug. "I guess I'm kinda curious. I'm just afraid that once I know they're dating, it'll hurt."

"Well, you both have to move on. What about you, huh? You got your eye on anybody?"

"As of now, no. I just wanna focus on my career."

He nods. "Good."

I smile. "What about you? Fancy anyone?"

He shrugs. "I don't know. I was kinda thinking about asking Paige."

My eyeballs almost pop out of my head. "PAIGE!? YOU LIKE PAIGE?"

He shrugs. "A little. I mean, she's cute. She's British. What's not to like?"

"Dude, you should totally ask her out!"

"And you should totally help me." He says nervously.

"I'll be right on it!"

Before he can say another word, I barge out of his lockerroom.

"CHARLIE, DONT YOU DARE!" I hear him yell after me, but I turn the corner, heading to the Divas lockerroom.

I go in right as Summer is coming out.

"Have you seen Dean? I'm supposed to be meeting him." She says in the fakest sweet tone she can do. I know she's just saying these things to make me jealous, but I won't give her that satisfaction.

But then I think about what Seth said. I guess I'm kinda curious about what their status is. "Are you and Dean like....a thing now?"

"Jealous?"

"No, I mean, I'm just wondering."

She smirks evilly. "Let's just say, he's great in the bedroom."

I roll my eyes in annoyance. "I guess I should know, right?"

One snarky comment after another and she stands there with her mouth dropped to the floor as I slam the door in her face.

I don't have time for this shit. I scan the room for Paige, only seeing the Bellas, Trinity, and Emma occupying the room.

"Where's Paige?" I ask.

"Here!" Her British voice comes from behind a bathroom stall. Moments later, she appears with a smile on her face. "What's up?"

I smirk. "How would you like to hang out with me sometime?"

Her eyebrows furrow together in confusion. "Um....sure."

"Good."

"What's the catch?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well there must be some reason you randomly wanna start hanging out with me."

I smile. "No catch. Just...........fortunate coincidence."

I smile at myself in satisfaction. As I head back to Seth's lockerroom to hang out, I see him talking with the authority. I decide not to intrude. They must be having their special little authority session.

"Charlie!"

I turn around to see Triple H calling me over. My brows furrow in confusion as I take small steps their way.

"Um, hey!" I say, approaching slowly.

"So we were trying to work out all the links and trying to get you back in smoothly." Stephanie says. "That is, if you're ready to come back. I mean, I know you've been through a lot lately, and if you need more time, that's totally okay."

"No no, I'm fine. I want to return."

Well Stephanie's actually being nice to me.

"We were thinking of an authority roll for you."

"I'm not sure I understand." I say honestly confused out of my mind.

"Instead of inserting you back in your storyline with Dean, we wanna mix things up and make things interesting. We were considering putting you in power as the General Manager of Raw."

My eyes almost pop out of my head. "Shut up! Are you serious?"

"Well, Seth brought the idea to us and I'm sure it's make a great story."

"Oh my god! I'm gonna be the frickin general manager! What the fuck!?" Excitement takes over. "I mean, I mean.......what the fuck!"

They all smile at me, looking like they're about to crack up into laughter.

"Thank you so much!"

I can't believe it.

Me, Charlie Doucet, new General Manager of Monday Night Raw!

.......what the fuck!?
