The Hug Life

Chapter 9

Sasha's heart jumped into her throat. Did Bayley really just say that? Sasha knew she had an incredible connection to Bayley. That was a given. Anyone with eyes could see that. Bayley made her feel special and cared for. Something she never got to experience with any of her past exes. Maybe this is love? Maybe I am ready for the next step.

"I love you too, Bayley. Get some sleep. Mike and Todd want to work with you tomorrow." Charlotte whispered from the darkness.

Sasha slowly let out the breath she was holding. Way to get ahead of yourself Sasha. Sasha felt Bayley kiss her forehead before wrapping her arms around Sasha in a protective embrace. Being in her arms just feels so right. What the hell am I afraid of? Before she could torment herself anymore, Sasha fell asleep.

Bayley's POV

Bayley woke up to Sasha cuddled against her side. She smiled before kissing her cheek. Bayley quietly exited the bedroom and headed for the kitchen. Becky was pouring herself a cup of coffee. Becky looked over her shoulder to see Bayley. Becky grabbed another cup and poured Bayley some as well.

"Morning, Lass."

"Morning Bex. Sleep well?" Bayley asked grabbing the cup Becky made for her.

"I slept amazingly. I'm ready to head to the gym though and get my work out on. I'm hoping I can work with Bobby today."

"So, you guys got along well?"

"Yeah, he taught me a lot about different submissions. He's awesome to work with."

"I think I'm working with Mike and Todd both today. At least that's what Charlotte told me last night."

"Do you think Sasha is ever going to officially join the gym? I mean she goes there all the time with Evan. She might as well go ahead and join."

"You're right, but she's stubborn. It has to be on her own terms before she'll go for it."

Becky chuckled at Bayley's response.

"What do you think about Alexa and Evan?" Becky asked.

"I think they are cute together."

"How does Sasha feel?"

"She's in overprotective big sister mode. I think with time she'll be alright with it. She just wants him to be happy."

"She sounds like Charlotte when it comes to you." Becky laughed.

"Well when you put it that way..."

"Good morning gorgeous ladies. Becky pass me a water please." Charlotte smiled as she walked into the kitchen.

She was dressed in her work out gear and covered in sweat.

"How was your run?" Becky asked while tossing the water to Charlotte.

"It was lovely. You should've joined me." Charlotte grinned before taking a big gulp of water.

"You know I hate running Lass." Becky rolled her eyes.

"True, but to stay in tip top wrestling shape, sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do."

"Spoken like a true Flair." Bayley teased.

"You're still in your pajamas. You need to get dressed. We are leaving for the gym soon. Is Sasha going to be joining us?" Charlotte ignored Bayley's comment.

"I have no clue. Since she doesn't have her car here I'm assuming she has to."

"I don't think Sasha would want to intrude on Alexa's and Evan's morning." Charlotte smirked.
