My Time, Our Time

Part 7

Finn's eyes widen in shock, and he let go of Bayley's waist and ran his hands over his face in frustration. He has completely forgot that he told Luke that he had a thing for Bayley a couple months back. He saw Bayley smile a little then look down at her feet, "we should get going." Finn wanted to avoid this talk for a long as possible, and he figured if he drove with either Luke or Karl then he wouldn't have to face Bayley. "So, I'm going to ride with Luke, and Bayley can you drive Karl?"

Bayley gasped as she heard that Finn didn't want to ride with her, and she felt hurt. She thought they were getting along so well since finding out that they had to portray being a couple. It was like he done a complete one-eighty since Luke blurted out that Finn had gotten his head out of his ass and asked her out. That question threw her for a loop and made her realize that maybe he has the same feelings for her as she did for him, and she wanted to talk to him about it on the car ride, but now that plan was blown out of the water. "Um yeah sure. Just let me get my stuff in the trunk."

"Here let me," Finn started to say, but he got cut off.

"No Finn, I got it. Don't worry about it. Don't you have somewhere else you need to be?" She snapped at him. "Karl, I'll just be a moment." She turned and smiled at her new friends, at least she assumed that's what they are going to be. They are going to working awfully close these upcoming months. She turned back to Finn, who has a stunned look on his face. "Finn, I don't know what crawled up your ass and died within the last couple minutes, but you have no right to be angry with me. If you don't want to be in this storyline with me then call Hunter and tell him. I don't care. But what I do want you to do is think about it while we are on our way back to the pc." Before he had a chance to explain himself, she turned around and got in the car, started it and yelled, "Karl are you coming or what?"

Karl looked at Finn, who was still wearing a stunned expression and laughed. "Damn, does she have your number or what. But seriously that was a complete one-eighty compared to what Luke and I walked upon. She has a right to be mad." They heard Bayley honk the horn, "I'll talk to her for you. But really Finn, think about if you can be in this storyline without getting your real feelings involved because if you can't then we should just call the entire thing off. But if I were you I would just tell her how you feel because after what I just saw, she feels the same way about you as you do her." With that said Karl turned around and got into the passenger seat of the Durango, and Bayley sped off leaving Finn and Luke in the parking lot.

Luke stood there awkwardly as Finn just stared at the direction Bayley's rental car went in. "Dude I'm sorry, I had no idea that was part of the storyline," Luke went on to try and apologize but Finn just shook his head.

"No, it's fine." Finn hung his head for a minute and then stood up with a look of determination of his face. "Karl was right, I'm not going to be able to do this storyline trying to pretend that I don't actually have feelings for her." He started to walk in the direction of Luke's rental car and began to think of a way to tell her.

"Um, Finn?" Luke started to say, and then decided to starting walking after the brooding Irishman. "How are you going to convince her that it's real?" Luke unlocked the car, and he saw Finn yank the passenger door open and jump in it. "This is going to be fun."

Meanwhile, in Bayley's rental car, the conversation was at a standstill. "You okay Bayley?" Karl asked timidly. He saw that she was trying to control her emotions and if he were, to be honest, she wasn't doing a very good job. He saw her take a deep breath and that's when he saw the tears falling.

"I just don't understand it, one minute we were having fun and the next minute he just gives me the cold shoulder." She uses one hand to brush the tears away, "I mean I'm crying over something that isn't real. It's not like we were together or anything?"

"But you want to be." Karl says without thought, "that's why you are so upset. You finally realized what everyone around you two saw." He saw the realization come over Bayley's face, and she turned to look at him and she swallowed hard.

"How do we make this storyline work then? I mean I am not going to be able to keep my feelings to myself much longer. I've had a thing for him ever since he premiered in NXT, but I was engaged to the asshole and just never thought anything would come of it." She was to busy ranting to notice Karl take out his phone and send a text.

'Karl-She finally admitted to herself that she likes a certain demon king we both know.' It didn't take long for him to receive one back, 'Luke- That's good. Cause Finn is determined to show her how he feels.' Karl smiled to himself and pocketed his phone while Bayley continued to freak out. He got an evil smile on his face and pulled his phone back out, and said, "Bayley!" She quickly turned, and he snapped a picture and laughed. "Awe look at the newest Balor Club member." She laughed and stuck her tongue out at him. He then quietly sent the picture to Finn with a caption, 'she's freaking out because she just realized what you mean to her. Don't screw this up.'

The rest of the car ride was uneventful for both parties and before they knew it they were pulling up outside the pc. Before Karl got out, Bayley stopped him. "Can we just keep what I said between us for a little?" Karl nodded his while thinking, 'too late.' They got out of the car just in time for Luke to park next to Bayley, Karl hopped out of the car and ran around to grab their luggage out of the trunk, while Luke and Finn did the same thing.

Bayley got out the Durango and walked around to where everyone else was standing. Against her will, her heart started beating faster than it should, but it always did this when Finn was around. "Guys, I'm tired. I'm just going to go home and catch some sleep." She didn't want to be in the same vicinity as Finn until she could get her emotions under control. "Finn?"

He looked up at her at the mention of his name, "yeah babe?" He froze at the slip of the pet name, but she smiled a small smile and suddenly he wasn't that upset at the slip.

"we need to talk, and soon." She stated, she grabbed her stuff and walked toward her car that was parked at the pc. "Text me tomorrow. Luke, Karl get my number off Finn that way we all have a way to get in contact." The three guys watched her load her stuff in her Mustang, and get in the driver's seat, she started it and drove away honking the horn.

The three guys stared at each other, "So Finn what are you going to do now that you both know you have real feelings for each other?" asked a curious Luke.

"Well, first I am going to give her the time she needs to get her emotions under control. It won't do either of us any good to have that talk while we are still running wild with emotions."

"So, let's go get a drink at the bar, my treat!" exclaimed Karl. Both Finn and Luke nodded in agreement and they were off.

A couple of hours later, Bayley was sitting on the balcony outside her bedroom at her apartment. She was enjoying a beer and just thinking about everything that had happened today when she got a text.

'Finn- babe...gess wat? I real really lick you.'

She laughed out loud and smiled. 'I really like you too.' She thought as she placed her phone back down and finished her beer and went to bed.
