Coincidental ( Finn and Becky )

Happy New Year! (Prologue: Part 2)

Becky's POV:

,,Hey, Rebecca", the voice continued. ,,Seriously now, are you hurt?", he asked worriedly. He seemed to be genuinely concerned about Becky at this point in time.

,,Couldn't be better!", Becky quickly replied, wishing not to cause to much concern.

,,Well, then at least let me help you up. Come on, it's only me."

It was, in fact, really him. While regaining her posture, she looked him up and down a few times. Fergal Devitt , aka. Finn Bàlor, had changed quite a bit since last she'd seen him. He seemed fitter, he somehow seemed to carry himself more, well, gracefully. Although, there was something off about him tonight. Weird, Becky just couldn't seem to put her finger on it.

,,Hello anybody in there?" Becky was suddenly jerked to reality, only now noticing that she'd been blankly staring at him for nearly 30 seconds.

,,Yes, of course, why would you ask that", Becky answered, trying to look innocent. ,,Gosh Fergal, I really haven't seen you that often in all the time I was part of the main roster, how have you been?"

,,Well enough", Finn responded. ,,I've mostly just been minding my own business, training, eating, sleeping and, when I have the free time, playing with my legos. All in all, a lot of time on my own, the perfect bachelor life so to speak. And how about you", he asked. ,,Liking the newly acquired fame in the big leagues?"

,,It's going well enough, although I hate the way creative is booking me and the women in general. I really don't get why NXT is such a success and the main roster, keep in mind, is in one of the worst shapes I've ever seen it in! It's like Vince doesn't even care!'' Becky raged, really letting her frustration out.

,, Easy there'', Finn said, putting his hands up. ,,There's no reason to be upset, it's new years eve, you're here with your best friends. Tell you what. How about we get you a nice drink, that'll help you right out now won't it?''. He said this while gently laying his hand on her shoulder in a supporting gesture.

Becky immediately felt quite a bit more relaxed and agreed; ,,Sure, I would love a drink, I was getting one anyway'', she quickly remembered. ,,Lead the way" she responded, gesturing with her arm.

As they were setting off, Becky wondered; ,, He's such a nice guy, I wonder why we don't meet up more often".

Finn's POV:

While going up a flight of stairs in silence, Finn was feeling weird. It was different than anything else he had experienced. It wasn't nervousness or anxiousness, and he couldn't shake the feeling that it had to do with Becky. But nah, it was probably just the happiness of meeting an old friend coupled with the new years eve feeling. He surpressed this , thinking about something else, and by the time they arrived at their destination, he had nearly forgotten his inner debate.

The hallway at the top of the stairs led to a pair of large, open window-doors. As soon as Finn stepped through them, he couldn't help but be impressed. Through the doors was a large garden, with a heated pool and a bar filled up with every immaginable drink next to it. ,,Every alcoholics dream", Finn thought to himself

At the bar, the young woman working there asked, in a valley girl accent; ,,So what are you two having?"

,,Gin and Tonic, please", Becky responded. ,,Ever the kind girl", Finn noticed.

,,I'll have an Ice-Tea, unsweetened please", Finn asked.

,,One Gin Tonic and one Ice-Tea not sweet, coming right up", the girl replied. She turned around and got to work.

,,Now, what's with you and this health tick? Can't you have an exception for one night?" Becky questioned, staring with raised eyebrows.

,,Terribly sorry, but I need to be in top shape at any time so that people take notice of me. Learnt that one the hard way", Finn answered non-chalantly.

,,Yeah, but come on, it's new years eve, everyone's going craz...Hey, isn't that Breeze?"

Indeed it was. The man playing the egotistical supermodel Tyler Breeze was currently soaking in the hot tub, surrended by a gaggle of splashing female rookies. He seemed to be quite enjoying himself.

,,See Fergal? This is exactly what I meant. Come on you now you know you want to party." She quipped, with a devilish little grin on her face.

,,Really sorry to disappoint you Rebecca, I guess I'm meant to be boring."

Just as Finn said this, there was a big roar from a large group containing almost the whole roster loudly chanting; ,,10!". It was almost midnight.

As soon as the group was at 7, Becky was already with them, drink in hand. She turned around looking at Finn, happily shouting; ,,c'mon Devitt, get your arse over here, It'll be fun!"

Her screaming his real last name made something inside him put down his glass and stride briskly forward.

,,3!", the crowd and Becky shouted, her quickly beckoning him in.

,,2!" She grabbed his arm an pulled it around her shoulders quickly, making gim move in very close next to her.

,,1!" There it was again, that weird feeling. But it actually felt positive this time. Finn, for the first time in months, even years, was completely carefree for just a moment.

,,Happy New Year!"
