Wait For You

Incredible

It had been nearly a week since Scarlett had seen Randy in person. They had called and texted each other nonstop, but Randy had been so busy on the road doing shows and special appearances. Tonight, Scarlett finally got to see him at Monday Night Raw and announce their newly rekindled relationship.

Scarlett exhaled as she surveyed the familiar surroundings of backstage. It felt like forever since she had been in a WWE arena, especially since "the incident" that everyone kept questioning her about. It still bothered her to talk about, but there was no way to erase the memory from her head. It could never be forgotten.

"Hey," a voice snapped Scarlett out of her thoughts.

"Oh hey!" she looked up to see a smiling CM Punk.

"How are you doing?" he asked with concern in his eyes.

"As well as I can," Scarlett sighed, "What about you?"

"Surprisingly well," Phil admitted. "To be honest, it hasn't affected me as much as I thought it would."

"How are you and Nikki?" Scarlett changed the subject.

"We're good," Phil nodded. "We've been spending a lot more time together actually. It's been really nice."

"I wish I could say the same about me and---" Scarlett stopped herself as Phil rose his eyebrow.

"You and...?" Phil questioned her.

"Randy," Scarlett finished his sentence. "We're back together," she smiled awkwardly.

"Well I'm happy for you too," Phil bit his tongue.

Scarlett rolled her eyes. "Phil, you can tell me how you really feel, you don't need to lie."

Phil sighed in response. "It's just that, after everything he's done to you----sleeping with Barb, attacking you on national television....are you sure you want to be in a relationship with him?" He asked with worry in his eyes. "I don't want to see you get hurt Scar," he stroked her arm softly.

"I won't get hurt Phil, trust me. We already talked things through and he apologized for everything and I believed him when he said he was sorry. And I really do care for him, so I thought he deserved a second chance," Scarlett explained. "I appreciate the concern, I really do, but I'll be fine."

"Okay, if you say so," Phil nodded. "I just want you to be happy, that's all."

"I know," Scarlett smiled slightly. "Thank you," she pulled him into a friendly hug, "It means a lot, trust me, it does."

"No problem," he breathed down her back. 

"Speaking of Randy..." Scarlett pulled away, "Have you seen him anywhere? I haven't seen him all week and---" she stopped when a pair of hands covered her eyes from behind.

"Guess who," a raspy voice whispered in her ear.

"Uh," Scarlett giggled, "I don't know. Would it happen to be a very handsome Apex Predator?"

"How did you know?" Randy smiled as he whispered into her ear, uncovering her eyes.

"I'm psychic," Scarlett joked.

"I always knew you were hiding something from me," Randy chuckled in response. 

"So what's up?" Scarlett laughed.

"Um," Randy hesitated, "Hey Punk, do you mind if I steal her from you?" he asked.

"No," Phil nodded in understanding, "She's all yours. See you later, Scarlett," he smiled as he walked in the other direction.
