Cupcakes

Chapter 3

Aj's POV

It didn't take long for the plane to come and we boarded. We didn't have seats next to each other because her seat was a few rows behind me. That was okay because separation between us right now would be good on my part. We have weeks that we gotta spend together, so I enjoyed it while it lasted before she got the guy to my left to switch seats with her. I thought it was funny because she came up with some nonsense sob story about how when we reach certain altitudes I tend to lose my marbles spitting and pull out people's hair. And if we hit turbulence it's going to be an all-you-can-bite frenzy for me if she wasn't by my side. The look on his face was of horror and of guilt. It took a lot out of me to not burst out laughing listening to her explain all that to him. She even started to cry while doing it, it was so good I actually started to believe I did stuff like that. But it worked and that is how she managed to once again close the gap between us. So I guess we're going to be stuck together longer than I anticipated and certainly longer than I can handle. Don't get me wrong I love hanging around Paige but after a few days she usually goes home and I'm on my own again to express my feelings as much as I want. Now I will have to keep my thoughts and hands to myself. I don't think it should be hard because I always room with Layla. So really as long as me and her don't end up sharing a room I should be good.

The plane ride was good for the most part, just me and her goofing around and making jokes. Then she fell asleep on my shoulder and my heart melted. She looks so cute sleeping and it was cute because she snores a little bit. It's not that I didn't know those things already, I just think it gets even more adorable when I see it. But all it did was remind me of what isn't mine. It's going to be a hard few weeks for me.

Once we landed it was a little past four which ment we didn't have time to go to the hotel so its probably going to be a straight through to the next city. It was about a hour drive until we got to the arena. Which was okay because it gives me time to mentally prepare myself for my match later and for the weeks ahead of us. I didn't have to tell her how to navigate backstage because she already knew how things work. That is the beauty of NXT in the works right there. She eventually left me to go catch up with Emma. I took this time to just go sit and think.

"Hey Shortie!" Smiled John as he jumped up on the crate next to me.

"Well if it isn't Super Cena himself." I teased back. Yes John Cena is one of my close friends backstage. We have been ever since we had the story line together when I was GM of Raw. I remember I was still really shy about kissing him on camera in front of millions, but he reassured me that it'd be okay. Of course it was followed be a huge kiss catching me completely off guard because the cameras weren't rolling. The thing about the storyline we had together was that apparently he really actually like liked me, so he really did take me on a date off camera later on. I remember thinking to myself yeah he's cute but I wasn't completely totally into him like how the fangirls were. But I figured it was just a phase and I'd get over it and start to like him back. So flash forward two dates later and we were an actual couple but the more we kissed the more and more awkward it felt for me to where I just didn't feel right kissing him. Because it was a few months before that me and Paige became friends and I found myself thinking about her... Well a lot more than a friend should to the point I found myself more comfortable in the presence of a woman more than I did a man. I thought that was a phase too until they put me in a new storyline and I had to kiss Dolph and no part of that felt right to me. Dolph is a great guy but I started to find myself attracted to girls more than I did guys. Being the caring person I am I told John of how I was feeling at the moment. He was really understanding and concluded for me that I am probably bisexual, but more to girls than guys. So I guess you could call that my coming out. Except he and Kaitlyn are the only ones who know about my rainbow colored skin. I was for sure he wouldn't want to be my friend anymore because of what happened between us, but it was the exact opposite. He said that it would be nice to finally have a female friend who wouldn't constantly hit on him. And so we became best friends and it's been that way ever since.
