Jet lag must have got the best of us as we had fallen asleep and when we woke it was now dark outside the hotel window. I woke up in my favourite place though; wrapped safely in Damian's arms. I propped myself up on my elbow and kissed Damian awake as I always did when I woke first. "Did you sleep ok babe?"

"Best I have slept all weekend Soph. Are you ok?" I nodded and we shared another deep and loving kiss. We ordered room service which was the only thing available at this time of night, ate, watched a movie and returned to bed. Before we knew it, it was Monday morning.

We did our usual, had breakfast together, worked out and got ready to get to the CFG Arena for work. Upon arrival I had urgent work to do as sadly a few outfits from Saturday were the real casualties of the event so we said our goodbyes and agreed to meet back up when the show started as I wanted to see opening segment. Rollins was to be confronted by Damian and his case, followed by a one on one match between Damian and Shinsuke Nakamura. However, whilst Damian was in the ring I was summoned by the powers that be.

"Hi Sophie, I hate to bother you but Mr Levesque has asked if you can go and see him in his office please. Immediately." I swallowed hard and followed the assistant to the office, not knowing why I was being called upon. I hesitantly knocked and waited.

"Come in."

I nervously entered and closed the door behind me. "I was advised that you wanted to see me Sir." Triple H looked up from his desk and acknowledged me before talking.

"Yes, I did. Can you take a seat please Sophie?" I did as I was told and sat in the seat opposite Triple H that he had motioned too. "I just wanted to personally make sure that after the hubbub on Saturday you were doing ok?"

I breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I am ok thank you. I am so sorry though that it happened on work premises and during work time. I never meant to cause any trouble." Triple H raised his hand and stopped me before I could waffle on any further.

"No need to apologise Sophie. When you came to work here you were honest and open with me about your name change and why and we agreed it would be kept between us. As far as I am concerned you were failed by security, he should never have been allowed backstage without your permission, let alone to get close enough to you to lay a finger on you. I do however think it for the best, for your mental wellbeing if nothing else, it be best that you take a few days to go home and unwind and process things."

"Am I being suspended?" I panicked and thought that maybe there was more too this than there seemed. Triple H smiled before continuing.

"No, you are not being punished or suspended and neither am I asking you to take a few days. I am telling you to take a few days, fully paid. I just think you need to go home for a few days and take a breather. I think after Saturday it is what you need, the other seamstresses can cover for you until next week's Raw. We can call it compassionate time. Does that sound ok to you?"

"I guess. I appreciate you looking out for me but I don't think I would be happy at home while Damian is still on the road."

"I didn't think you would so he can take a few days as well as I know all of this coming out can put strain on a relationship. And after his match Saturday he could do with a rest. Both of you take the next week off from house shows and I will see you back in work next Monday."

"Thank you Sir." I left the office, closing the door as I went. I leant against the wall and felt a wave of relief wash over me. Within seconds a panicked and very sweaty Damian was at my side.

"I came straight from Gorilla as a few of the girls said that you were summoned. What's going on?" Damian was checking me over as though looking for a tell tale sign that I was ok.

"I am perfectly fine babe. Trips just wanted to check I was ok after Saturday and has told me to take a few days off, until next Monday actually. He has said that he wants you to take the week off as well with me so that you can rest up and we can make sure our relationship is ok. But I think he also maybe wants you to keep an eye on me."

Damian exhaled before kissing me. "In that case, you go find Rhea. I am off to shower ready for closing and then what do you say to getting home?" I nodded my agreement and left Damian to go find Rhea and explain what had just happened.

I then got straight onto the airline and managed to get earlier flights so that we could be home in time to enjoy 4th July. When Damian had done closing segment with Seth, we grabbed our bags from the hotel and made our way straight to the airport and were home and in our own bed by 6am.
