Affair Of The Heart (Damian Priest story)

Chapter 15: Boston here we go

July 1, 2024

Kelsie's POV:

I'm finally here, back in the WWE well not yet because we are here in Boston discussing my debut at SummerSlam and what look they were thinking for me. It hasn't been easy, but I've made it all alone. When I started down this path, I had help from Damian due to him speaking to Shawn about having me in NXT 6 years ago... I've changed my hair as you already know and I lost a ton of weight, so I doubt anyone will recognize me in the arena, except Matt, Jey and Rhea obviously because they were at the PC with me the whole week last week to get me to train and get ready for SummerSlam whatever they have me doing. I sort of changed my moveset, I decided not to use Damian's moves  because what's the point of having them since we aren't together anymore? I don't need his help, or anyone else's. I'm here because I worked for it, and I'm going to make the most of this opportunity. I didn't have anyone to watch my daughter since Kaylie works two jobs to help pay bills, so Skyla is here with me on the road. Her father isn't in the picture anymore obviously. He's still living the Rockstar lifestyle, endless hookups on the road, and not caring who he hurts. I know it's surprising that he went back to his old ways because of what his brother said at the restaurant we were at two weeks ago... His brother found out it was me but he swore he wouldn't tell him. I wish we could go back to our little happy family that we had but honestly, I can't let him hurt my daughter anymore, so we're cutting him out of our lives. I'm not going to let anything stand in the way of my dreams. I'm going to become a WWE champion one day, and I'm going to do it my way.

With nervous steps, I walk towards the backstage door of the arena at the same gazing around at all the trucks and equipment everywhere "You've made it the big time without anyone's help" I say to myself as I take hold of the door handle. "You got this mama," my daughter says to me holding onto my hand. She is going to be homeschooled since I will have her always on the road with me now. Opening the door I stepped into the bustling backstage area and walked with her on my hip. Just as l walked with my daughter on my hip and I was trying to see the paper that I needed to see where triple h's office is. Of course, my head slams into something, I hear a deep grunt followed by something splashing on the floor. I slowly lift my gaze taking in the large tattooed arm, the long black sleeveless coat with spiked shoulders, and the features of the most handsome face I had ever laid eyes on. It took not a second for me to realize I had walked into the man that I once knew and not only that I had made him spill his coffee. Oh shit, it's her father I became to realize that, I got to get out of here but I need to apologize right? My daughter notices him and moved closer to me hiding her face.

"I...l am so sorry" I stutter "I was trying to find out where to go" looking down at him in embarrassment and so he doesn't recognize me and ask me about my daughter since she is behind me. ".....take it easy" he smiles and just like that my knees turn to jelly. Man I have missed him so much. "it's all good, no one got hurt.....you didn't hurt yourself did you? and did you too princesa? He asks a look of concern crossing his face looking at me and my daughter looking at her. "No...no I'm good" I say "we are good thank you sir" she whispers. I continue talking, "I was trying to find where I'm supposed to go and.......oh great" I sigh looking down at the sodden piece of paper in my hand, apparently on its way to the floor the spilt coffee had landed on the paper and it was illegible. "Ok how about you tell me where you need to be and I will take you there?" He says "I'm guessing you're new.......are you a rookie?". "I'm new but I ain't no rookie" I say suddenly finding some confidence "I need to be at Hunter's office, he wants to see me before I get started". "No problem chica, l can bring you there now, right to.......". "Well well well, look who finally got here" a familiar voice says jokingly and the biggest smile crosses my face. "Matt!" I gasp before rushing to him with my daughter following me hugging him too.
