Coincidental ( Finn and Becky )

The long game (Chapter 10)

A/N: 

Sorry for breaking my word on the more frequent updates, I was doing other things (and was a bit lazy).

But anyway, this and the next part are basically showing what happened between the Rumble and Fastlane.

Enjoy!

Finn's POV:

Finn walked aimlessly towards his designated taxi on the side of the road, flashing his WWE license and slumping onto the backseat of the luxurious car. He felt like he was going to puke. Or cry. Or both.

,,Where to Mr Devitt?", Mike, his friendly, English cabby asked . ,,Hotel, Bar, where would you like to celebrate?"

,,Just home", Finn answered, slumping sideways. ,,I just want to drink myself to sleep and forget this night ever happened."

,,Really?", the older man asked interested. ,,What happened."

,,Nothing forget it", was Finn's response.

About a minute later, after exiting onto the main road, Mike said: ,,I saw Ms. Quin and you arguing back there, both of you seemed horribly upset. I really don't like to see you all broken up like this, why not let me help you?"

,,I can't believe I'm doing this", Finn remarked. ,,But I just need to vent Mike, so sorry if I ramble."

,,No, no", the old man answered. ,,I know what a young man can go through at a stressful time in his life take all the time you want."

,,I appreciate it", the Irishman thanked him, getting the tiniest uplifting feeling at the fact that someone sincerely cared about him. ,,Well, here goes."

The next minutes were painful. After a few failed starts, he got into it, and that's were he started crying for the second time. Now, Finn had never been a very emotional guy, his youth and time in Japan had hardened his feelings, but at that moment he couldn't help himself. 

He opened up about everything thing that had happened. The party where this whole mess started, the dreaded game and the secret recording of the lap dance, the emotional roller coaster at the sight of him waking up next to Becky, trying to hush it all up and finally what had happened moments before. 

,,And now everyone knows", he said, punching the leather in anger. ,,I don't care about me, it's Rebecca I'm worried about. I mean, now everyone thinks she's a... a..." He wasn't to able to say it.

,,This can't be happening", he bellowed, louder than before. ,,She'll be in trouble with her bosses, I know for a fact she doesn't have as much job protection as she did in NXT." 

,,And the worst thing is", he remarked. ,,Everyone thinks we are a thing now, which we don't need at all, and we both don't want it...do we?" For the whole time, Finn had been speaking mainly to himself.

Mike didn't say a word through the whole of Finn's monologue. He waited for a few moment to let Finn cry himself out. Then he said: ,,Listen here sir. This is something I've seen many before. Now, I can't tell you or Ms. Quin what your real feelings about each other are, that's for the two of you to talk about. But from my experience, and trust me, I now this situation, the best thing for the two of you to do at this point is get some distance. Meet other friends, stay more private, try to think about other things. That way, when you're ready to address each others feelings, you can do it without feeling awkward."

,,Thank you", Finn said, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted off his chest. ,,Lord, you won't believe how much that helped me. I'll try to listen to your advice the best I can."

As soon as he said this, they arrived at the entrance to the hotel, where many fans, smark and mark alike, were happily cheering.

Finn hastily wiped his face and eyes, as he didn't want people to ask bad questions and was about to leave the taxi when he turned around and said: ,,Say Mike, how come you know all this good advice?"

And as Finn stepped out to a chorus of surprised cheers at the NXT champion, Mike looked Finn in the face and answered: ,,Because I was in the exact same situation with a girl called Emily when I was your age."

,,Really?", Finn said, closing the car door and speaking to the Englishman through the open window. ,,How did it end up?" 

,,Well", the old man said, putting his glasses back on with a slight grin on his face. ,,Our wedding anniversary is in a few weeks, how's that for an answer?" And with that he drove off, leaving a surprised Finn to slowly walk into the hotel.

After clearing the horde, he walked to the reception and stated his name. ,,Aah", the woman working there said after checking his credentials. ,,An NXT superstar, would you like to join your colleagues, Mr Sebei, Mr. Arndt, Ms. Kaestner-Varnado (Sasha) and Ms. Martinez in the lounge for drinks?"  

Finn thought about this for a while, then responded: ,,Sure why not?". He could start following Mike's advice and hang out with guy's besides Becky, and it would also give him the chance to 'ahem' politely ask Eric to apologize for showing the tape.

After quickly freshening in his room, he went downstairs, thinking to himself: ,,Hey, why not have a bit of fun while recovering? Maybe the next few weeks will go better than expected."

And as he celebrated with the four other guys, and not-so-jokingly put Eric in a rear naked choke (sleeper hold), couldn't help but think of how Becky was getting over it.

Sadly, the next month was going to be much, much worse for Becky than he could imagine.
