Rising Up

Chapter Three: Realizing I Missed You

'I don't know where I could be now since I passed out, but I'm hoping it's somewhere safe and that I'm alright. I somewhat hope that it was Baron that found me. Then again I somewhat hope that it wasn't him.'

I groan as I roll over on a bed, feeling warm and cuddle into something. I open my eyes quickly as I soon look up at who I'm laying next to and I let out a sigh of relief. It's only Baron and I stay cuddled into him because I'm really cold for some reason. I blush a little when I feel his arm around my waist and I just hide my face in his chest. Why did he have to be so perfect? He just had to be my type, didn't he? I curse myself in my head, but soon I feel movement and I'm getting pulled closer to him. I feel him hold me really close to him and I relax into him. I missed him all the while I was working for indy companies, but everyone always told me to forget about him and I never did. He was always on my mind and I'd try to drown my sorrows with alcohol, but that didn't seem to work. That just got me in more trouble than what it was worth. I put my forehead on his chest, placing my hands on his chest a little and sigh softly. I feel some tears forming in my eyes as I think about all the times we were apart and how much I was hurting inside. I clench my fists as I keep them on his chest with my forehead. Why did it have to take so long for me to find him again? To finally be in the arms of the man I fell in love with oh so long ago?

*Baron's POV*

I wake up as I keep my arm around Destiny and I can feel something wet on my chest. I say "hey....don't be crying." Destiny sniffles as she soon rolls over, turning away from me and I frown as I move to her. I put my arm around her waist as I lay there with her and she starts sobbing. I used to hold her when she would cry, but then I got shipped out to a different company and she was all alone. I heard things from our friends, but I never wanted to believe all the things they were saying and I hold her close to me as she soon grabs onto my arm. I whisper "hey you're alright. I'm here for you now. Tell me what's wrong tiger." Destiny keeps sobbing, but soon she turns back towards me and hides her face in my chest. I gently rub her back as she keeps crying and soon she stops. I look down at her and she whispers "all those years without you. All those times I needed you. You weren't there. You weren't around. I needed you. I was scared." I frown a little more as I soon sit up, moving her so she's sitting on my lap and facing me. She looks up at me with her sad eyes and I gently wipe the tears out of her eyes. I say "I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere. I promise." She leans forward, putting her head on my shoulder and I gently wrap my arms around her waist. I know a lot of people would think that we're dating, but in reality we're not and I wish I could change that. 

*Back to Destiny's POV*

I hide my face in his neck soon as I hold onto him and I try to calm myself down. I whisper "I missed you." Baron whispers "I missed you as well tiger." I smile at the nickname because that's what he's always called me and he thinks I have the spirit of a tiger in me. It could be possible if you believe in spirit animals and I do. I move so that I can look up at him and I say "I'm never letting you leave like that ever again." Baron chuckles as he looks at me and he says "like I told you. I'm not going anywhere again. I'm going to be here in WWE and be here with you. No one is going to make us be alone like that ever again." I smile as I hug him and soon get off his lap as I stretch. I say "I really need to get a shower or something. Ugh I hate this." Baron says "well we could always do like we used to." I turn towards him and say "I'm a grown up. I don't need help with a shower or a bath." I cross my arms and Baron says "just saying." I shake my head at him as I walk over to my bag that he obviously brought to his room and I bend over getting some clothes out of it. I blush soon when I realize just what I'm doing and I soon stand up. Shit. Am I really doing this right now? Ugh.... I hold my clothes as I turn around, looking up and Baron looks down at me. Damn him for being so tall and I ask "yes?" 

Baron says "after your shower, I want to take you to one of my favorite places." I smile as I pat his abs and say "alright Tommy. You can do that." I wink at him since I know how he feels about me using his real name and I skip off to the bathroom to get my shower. I close the bathroom door and chuckle to myself. He really has stolen my heart and I wouldn't have it any other way. I mean he's my wolf and I better not catch anyone near him. He's mine. He just doesn't know it yet. I smirk as I head over to the shower and strip down. 

'I might sound selfish, but I want to be with Baron and I've wanted this for years now. Missing him and knowing that he missed me, makes me feel a little better. I might just have a chance then. He might just love someone as broken and beaten as me.'

Hmm wondering if they will tell each other how they feel or not. 

You'll just have to wait and see.
