My Time, Our Time

Part 3

The room went into an uproar, and both Finn and Bayley laughed a little. Bayley just sighed, and put her head down quick, then remembered what she told Sasha back in the locker room. Finn noticed the change in her, and smirked, 'well it's about damn time.'

Bayley pointed to the reporter in the front row, "Bayley, how does it feel to reach this point in your career?"

Bayley smiled to herself, "For me, it's a dream come true. I honestly have dreamed about being part of the WWE since I was 10. Even though I'm not on the main roster, I know my time is coming. But winning this," she patted the NXT Women's title, "means the world to me. Going into tonight, I honestly thought I wasn't going to win, and if that would've happened, it probably would've been the last time I stepped into the ring."

She could hear Finn gasp, and she continued, "I just got tired of being thought of as the little girl in the locker room, nobody really takes me seriously. So, winning tonight proved to not only myself but to all those in the locker room that doubted me, that I am something. I am good enough to be here, and I am going to stand my ground."

"Bayley..." Finn started but then decided to keep his thoughts to himself. He leaned over to her and whispered, "We will talk later."

Finn turned back to the reporters and pointed to the next reporter raising his hand. "Finn, this question is for you. How did you feel going into tonight defending the NXT title against Kevin Owens?"

He chuckled, and said, "I was nervous. I've never been in a ladder match, and I didn't know what to expect. But the one thing I did know is that Kevin Owens is a beast in the ring. I knew not to let my guard down no matter what. In the end, it was a hard-fought battle, and I have nothing but respect for Kevin Owens."

"Bayley, you're a pretty girl. Is there someone special in your life? Actually, the same question for you to Finn." One reporter asked.

Bayley smiled, and rolled her eyes, "As of right now, no I don't have a special someone, but I do like someone. And no, you may not know who."

Finn laughed out loud, "the same thing for me. So, if there are no more questions, we need to get going. We both have a house show tomorrow, and the drive is brutal." Finn stood up and waited for Bayley to stand up, "Thank you, everyone. See ya again sometime."

Both Bayley and Finn walked out of the conference room, Bayley went to walk away but Finn grabbed her hand. "What was that in there about not getting back in the ring?" 

Bayley chuckled, "Finn, you know damn well what it meant. Everybody in the back doesn't take me seriously. I hear how they talk about me behind my back, oh poor Bayley lost another match. Or thank god Sasha was there to bail Bayley out." I stopped ranting, and took a deep breath, "it starts getting to me, and I started believing it. I told myself if I didn't win tonight, I would quit."

Finn looked shocked at how honest and brutal she was being, this wasn't the always happy go lucky Bayley that he knew. No, this was someone who finally had enough of people's bullshit and is finally starting to stand up for herself. "Bayley, fuck what everyone says. Ever since I stepped foot in NXT, I've seen nothing but great things from you. You never fail to bring a smile to people's faces. And hell, you don't give yourself enough credit." Bayley sighed, and looked up Finn, and saw that he was telling the truth, she surprised herself and Finn when all the sudden she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him.
