My Time, Our Time

Part 4

Finn immediately wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. 'God, she feels so good pressed up against me.'

"Thanks, Finn I really appreciate it." She mumbled into his shirt, and then she pulled away. They stood there for a couple seconds before the smiled at each other, "we should really get going. We have a house show tomorrow." They start walking towards their prospective locker rooms, and they got to Bayley's, "Ugh, Sasha left and now I have to drive by myself."

Finn looked like he was in a bit of a thought process when he blurted out, "You could ride with me? Karl and Luke already left, and I hate driving by myself."

Bayley nodded and said, "Yeah. Just give me a moment to grab my bags," she walked into her locker room and quickly grabbed her bags.

She rolled them out to see Finn standing there on his phone. "So apparently, we are a couple?" He smiled at me and showed me the tweets trending with the hashtag Baylor. I blushed what felt like a thousand shades of red, and said, "awe, that's cute."

Finn laughed, "cute?" Bayley nodded her head while smirking, "yeah cute." He grinned an evil grin, "I'll show you cute," without warning he reached for her and started tickling her sides. Bayley busted out laughing and started trying to get away from him.

"Finn! Oh my god, that tickles." He relentlessly continued to tickle her, in between laughs and giggles she managed out a "please?" Finn felt himself let out a belly laugh and pulled his hands away.

"You are so lucky I didn't pee myself," exclaimed Bayley as they started walking down the hall.

They walked in relative silence to his locker room, and he ran into to grab his luggage. Once they had all their luggage, they started walking down the hall towards the parking lot. "How're things with Aaron?" Finn asked her to break the silence, that was being more and more strained and awkward.

Bayley knew he just asked that to make small talk, but she honestly really didn't want to talk about her ex. "Um, I wouldn't know, we broke up about 3 months ago. He kept pushing the wedding planning off and never wanted to set a date," Finn's ears perked up and was about to say something, but they arrived at his car.

Finn grabbed her bags, "go wait in the car, I got this."

"You sure? I don't mind helping."

Finn started grinning at her, "I know that lass, but I was raised a gentleman, and gentlemen take care of the important people in his life."

Bayley smiled, and while she was walking toward the passenger seat she kept thinking, 'this is how a guy is supposed to treat his lady. Not cheat on them or put them down because they are insecure about their own abilities in their career.' She opened the door and slid in while waiting for Finn. 'I'd give anything if I could be his girl, but he will never like me like that.'

A couple seconds later, Finn opened the driver's side door and slid it. He started the car, and then they were on their way. "So what else happened between you and Aaron, if you don't mind me asking."

She knew he wouldn't let this go, so she took a deep breath and blurted out, "he also cheated on me. Remember when I went home for a couple days, and I went all quiet?"

He did remember that because she wouldn't respond to texts, Twitter or Instagram messages, and that is very unlike Bayley. What was even more concerning is she ignored Sasha when she called, and she never ignores Sasha. "Yeah I remember," was all he said.

"Well I went home and found him screwing someone in our bed, and you Wanna know the sad part?" She paused as she saw him shake his head, "I didn't really even care. I was glad that I had an out of the relationship. I knew then and there that I made a huge mistake accepting his proposal." A few tears fell out of her eyes and she quickly wiped them away before Finn could see it, but she wasn't fast enough.

"It's okay to cry, Bayley. Aaron and you were in a long relationship and for it to end the way it did, it's shitty. You don't deserve that and believe me the next time I see him, I may just rearrange his face." Finn reached over and grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Thank you, Finn, I appreciate it." She squeezed his hand back, and she didn't bother to pull her hand back. "I just want to say thank you for being an amazing friend, I couldn't ask for a better one," she then looked out the window, then snapped her back and finished, "you ever tell Sasha that, they'll never find your body."

Finn giggled and turned his attention back to the road, all the while still holding her hand. 'Hey if she isn't going to pull her hand back, then neither am I', he just gently squeezed it. The drive took about another 10 minutes, he turned into the parking and pulled into the reserved space. Finn looked over at Bayley and smiled softly, she was sleeping. Finn quietly got out of the car and unloaded the luggage and took it into the hotel lobby. Then walked back out to the car, opened the passenger side door and crouched down and gently shook Bayley. "Bayley..." he ran his finger down her face brushing some of the hair that had fallen there back. "Bayley come on we are at the hotel."

"mmm...don't Wanna." She mumbled as she slowly opens her eyes. When she finally was somewhat awake she realizes she's looking directly into Finn's crystal blue eyes. 'God those eyes are gorgeous.' Both were aware of how close they were, they could feel each other's breath across their faces, they start leaning in and were just about to close the gap, when 'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP'. They sprung apart, and Finn turned toward the sound and glared, only to find out that is was the car alarm from 3 cars down.

"We should get going" stated Bayley as she was gathering her purse. Finn stood up and let her have her space to get out of the car. They walked toward the hotel in relative silence and checked in. Once they were in the elevator, Bayley said, "Finn I just want to thank you again for listening to me tonight. I really appreciate it, I really appreciate you being there for me."

Finn smiled and said, "anytime Bayley. I'll always be there for you no matter what. That's what friends are for." The elevator dinged signaling that they reached their floor. They both had hotel rooms on the same floor, just a couple rooms apart from each other. Finn insisted that he walk Bayley to her room first, and once they arrived in front of the door, "I'll text you in the morning when I am ready to leave. Is that okay?"

Bayley nodded, "yeah that'll be fine. Thanks again." She turned around and opened the door and turned the light on before turning back to Finn. "Good night Balor." He smiled at her and nodded, and she watched him walk down the corridor to his room. Once she saw that he was in his room, she shut the door and sighed. 'I got to get over this stupid crush,' she thought as she went to her suitcase and pulled out her night clothes. She walked over to the bathroom and saw that she had a jacuzzi tub, "perfect" she said to herself. Bayley waited until the tub filled up and then stripped down and got in. It felt like forever to her, but, she has only been in the jacuzzi for 25 minutes when she heard her phone beep signaling that she had a text message. She groaned and decided that it was time to get out and that she needed sleep.

Once she was dried off she got into her Demon King tank top and a pair of black short shorts and grabbed her phone and the charger and crawled into the soft queen size bed. She quickly checked her messages and she smiled to herself, 'Finn- Had a great evening with you lass. See you bright and early for breakfast.' She giggled and blushed and then set her alarm for 7:30 AM and placed her phone on the nightstand and snuggled deep into the covers. Within minutes she was asleep.
