"Oh! And Ember Moon is putting Billie Kay in the underhook!" I say over the microphone excitedly to create tension.

"Will Billie tap out?" Tom Philips says as the referee is gesturing if Billie was going to tap out, but she shakes her head desperately "oh my god! She's a tough one!" He shouts and raises his hands in shock.

"She's fierce, Tom!" I said "Ember really has a hold on Billie! Oh and look! Billie is trying to grasp at the rope but is unable!" I shout softly at the microphone and point to where the two women were.

Billie tries to break free but she knows she's trapped, so she taps out and the referee calls it. "She tapped out! She tapped out!" Tom chants, completely into the match.

"Yes, Tom she did." I smile at his efforts to create chaos and like always, he succeeds. The bell rings and Ember Moon unhooks herself from Billie Kay. And she does a victory march around the ring with her arms up with the referee checking on the woman in pain.

I take a chug from the bottle of water and swallow, isn't commentating dehydrating? I tell myself and take in more water. My throat has a burning sensation, but at this point I'm so used to it I don't even notice the soreness. I see Tom Philips walk toward me out of the corner of my eye, so I chug the rest of the water down.

"Hey." I greet Tom once he finally reached me and close the bottle with the cap. He gives me a peck on the cheek and I timidly smile.

"Hey." Tom echoes my greeting and shifts closer to me, he grabs my waist and pulls me toward his embrace, "wanna get dinner?" He mumbles on my ear and I chuckle slightly at the tickling.

We've been dating for about almost a year now and it's safe to say he's the most serious relationship I have ever been in. Hell, he's the only man that has tolerated me for those long months.

When I first started at NXT five years ago, we quickly started talking and we both knew that we were going to end up dating at one point. However, neither of us wanted to make a move for over two years, because well, Tom is actually shy and I didn't know if I was in over my head about him liking me.

I kindly smile at him and nod, he smiles back "yeah?" Tom asks happily, full with hope.

"Yeah." I confirm and cross my arms, "let's get going or every restaurant is going to close." I smile at him and escape his arms as I grab my bag and empty water bottle.

I turn to Tom with a tight smile. "Ready?" He asks me and I nod in response. Tom places a hand on my lower back, indicating for me to go first, and I do. The warmth of his hand feels nice.

Tom walks me to my apartment and we are standing in front of my door. "I guess this is where we say goodbye." I told him with a smile.

"Yeah, dinner was great." Tom adds with a reciprocating smile, his hands were in his front jean pockets.

I lean in to kiss him goodnight, but the kiss quickly turned into something more.

I wanted to keep going because god knows how long has it been since we've had sex, but that annoying sound stopped everything. I sighed on his lips gently and rumbled around my bag to get my cellphone out. "Hello?" I quickly answer and gulp.
