Life Changing

Chapter 25

A week had passed. Emily had made a new friend.

Flashback

Five Days Ago...

Emily was at the arena trying to get a Coke from the machine. She'd put her money but the Coke had gotten stuck.

"Oh come on." She said. Suddenly a hand smacked the machine and the Coke fell down. She bent down to get the Coke and turned around and saw Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler) standing behind her. He'd recently signed with AEW "Thanks. um, sorry, I don't know your real name."

"No problem, Emily right?"

"Yes."

End Of Flashback

Ever since then he would come up to her make-up table every day they would talk. She knew he liked her because he would flirt with her whenever they talked.

It was the afternoon. Emily went to Britt's room to hang out with her. They were sitting on the couch.

"So how much longer are you gonna hold out on me?" Britt asked.

"What?"

"Come on, tell me everything."

"About me and Nic Nemeth?" "There's really nothing to tell." "We just recently started talking."

"Nic Nemeth?" She said confused. "What are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You and Sam the night of the charity event."

"How do you know about that?"

"So it is true?"

"It's true." "Who told you?"

"Austin told me." "So?"

"It wasn't the first time it's happen." "We'd been drinking the first time to." "They were mistakes." "We both agree they were mistakes." "We're gonna stay friends."

"Why are the both of you in so much denial?" "You're crazy about each other and you know it."

"Britt come on."

"You know it." "I can see it in your eyes right now."

"For the millionth time, we're just friends."

"How was "just your friend." She said making quotation marks with her fingers. "The night of the charity event?"

"Which time?" "We did it in the limo first."

"Who started it?"

"Him."

"And?"

"He's great." "He knows how to use all parts of his body well, if you know what I mean." She said smiling.

"Really?"

"Yeah." "The sex was great to."

"Why do you think it was so great?"

"Well like I said, he knows what he's doing."

"Or, you love each other."

"We do not."

"Is that why you're talking to Nic?" "To cover up your feelings?"

"I only have friendship feelings for Sam." "I don't even know if anything's gonna happen with me and Nic yet." "I know he likes me." "He flirts with me all the time."

"Do you like him?"

"He's cute and he's very sweet." "I guess we'll wait and see what happens."

That night Sam was having trouble sleeping. He'd been tossing and turning all night. He reached for his phone and dialed Emily's number. Emily couldn't sleep either. She was up watching TV. Her cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said

"Hi." Sam said.

"Hi."

"Did I wake you?"

"No." "I was up." "Is Penelope ok?"

"She's fine." "I just wanna talk." "How's your night been?"

"Uneventful." "I can't sleep."

"Me either." "I just have stuff on my mind."

"Me to."

They stayed up talking until two in the morning.

The next evening everyone was at the arena. Emily was at the make-up with Penelope. Nic came up to the make-up table.

"Hi Nic." Emily said.

"Hi beautiful." "Hi Penelope."

"Hi Nic." Penelope said.

"Well I have a match." I just wanted to say hi." He walked away.

Five minutes later Sam came to pick up Penelope.

"Hey Em." He said.

"Hi." Emily said.

"Ready to go Penelope?"

"Yeah." Penelope said.

Sam and Penelope went to his locker room to get his bags.

"Guess what daddy." Penelope said.

"What?"

"I think Emily has a boyfriend." John stopped dead in his tracks when she said that and turned around. "Are you sure?"

"Nic Nemeth has been hanging around her a lot lately."

"Really?" "Nic Nemeth huh?" He said with annoyance in his voice.

"Daddy are you ok?"

"I'm fine." "Let's go."

After his match Nic was walking by the make-up table in his street clothes with his bag slung over his shoulder. He stopped.

"Outta here?" Emily asked.

"Yeah."

"That was a great match tonight."

"Thanks." "Emily, would you like to go out to dinner with me sometime?"

"Well...
