An opportunity gained

Chapter 22

Sam's POV:

As I ran back through the arena with tears in my eyes I bumped into someone, trying to get away without saying "sorry" an arm stopped me. "GET OFF ME!" I said loud enough for everyone to hear. 

"Oh, sorry" I turned around and stood before me was the 11 time WWE Champion. I grew up as a kid watching him, but he never interested me. I respect the hell out of him though. "Are you alright?" He asked rubbing my back. I'm not going to tell him because he doesn't even know who I am. 

"Yeah..." I said sighing. He picked up his phone and started texting someone. Then he stopped and looked at me. 

"What's your name?" 

"Sam" I smiled weakly. Then he carried on taping away on his phone. 

I was about to walk away but he stopped me. "Wait a minute Sam" So I did, I stood there. It was awkward before someone came up behind me. 

I turned round and Nikki Bella was here. I smiled at her before she mouthed something to John, before I knew it he was gone. "What's up with you then pumpkin?" I don't know why most people hate her, she's a really nice girl. 

"Just...stuff" I looked down at the floor not wanting to say and more. She wouldn't give in though. 

"Want to go for coffee?" 

"I don't like coffee" I said suddenly laughing. 

"Starbucks does other things" She said laughing along. 

"Okay" And with that we were off. We walked there because it was only round the corner. 

She put her coffee mug down and just looked at me. "So, care to tell me what's wrong now?" There was no getting out of it, so I whipped the whip cream off the mouth and started telling her everything. Not literally everything, the things that have happened between me and Zach. "So you really like this guy?" I nodded. 

"Tell him" I just looked at her.

"No" 

"Why not?"

"Because he might not like me back" She just looked at me the way she did before. 

"So? Would you rather live your life the fact you never told this guy? Because it could be too late. He might like Eva! And by then they could be married and have kids" I just stared at her horrified. "The look on your face! I'm joking hunny! Eva's engaged" Is she? I gave her a puzzled look. "Do you not watch Total Divas?" 

"No offense but I watch WWE for wrestling, not reality shows" 

"Well if you did watch it you would know that she's engaged to this guy she's known for 2 or was it 3 months?" 

"Wow" We just stayed in silence for a while. "We should probably be getting back" I said standing up. 

"Why? We can look after ourselves..." 

"I know but I have to go back to the hotel, Mark always makes us with him" 

"Ahh okay...so you never really told me why you were here" So we walked back to the arena talking about how we made it here. 

"It was nice getting to know you a bit more Sam" She smiled at me. 

"Yeah you too Nikki" I smiled back. Then Mark came over and he was with the last person I wanted to see. 

"Ahh you're right on time Sam" He said patting my shoulder. "Oh hello Nikki Bella, nice to meet you!" He said putting his hand out to her. She smiled and shook it back. 

"Nikki Bella! Like as in the Nikki Bella?!" Zach suddenly perked up. 

"That's me!" She said smiling at him. Doesn't John get jealous of all of this? I certainly would! 

"Well it’s about time we get going now!" 

"It was nice seeing you all!" Nikki said like we've been friends for years. She shook Mark and Zach's hand and quickly gave me a hug. 

"Tell him" She whispered in my ear. I smiled at her. "And if you ever want to talk again, give me a call" 

"I don't have your number though" I said looking at her confused. 

"Yes you do, I quickly put it in when you went to the loo! Might want to put a password on it" She said winking at me before she walked away. 

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE NIKKI BELLA'S NUMBER ON YOUR PHONE!! AND YOU'RE ACTING ALRIGHT ABOUT IT!!" Zach kept saying all the way home, I just ignored him. 

I was about to get out of the lift before Zach stopped me. "What the fuck is up with you?!" 

"Nothing" I said through clenched teeth.

"There clearly is because you've been ignoring me all day" 

"HOW CAN I BE IGNORING YOU ALL DAY WHEN YOU'VE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH EVA?!" I suddenly found myself shouting. 

"REALLY?! THIS IS WHAT IT’S ABOUT?! YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE I'M ATUCALLY TALKING TO OTHER GIRLS BESIDE YOU!" He shouted back. "You know not everything is about you Sam. You're not the only one with problems going on in your life, think about someone else besides yourself for once yeah?" He said before walking out, I'm pretty sure I saw a tear as well.
