Lights Out!!!

Breaking Bones At Backlash.

Early the next morning, I woke up to find Maryse still asleep. So I leaned over and kissed her lips and cheek. She groaned happily as she slowly opened her eyes. "Morning, Babe."
"Morning, Beautiful." I smiled. "I'm going out for my run before anything else happens."
"Okay. Be careful." She smiled.
"Aren't I always."
"Remains to be seen." She giggled as I smiled and kissed her again. "In two weeks we go back to work. And as much as I don't want to. I know that you have to defend the Intercontinental championship at Backlash. And we'll be back with just enough time to do some decent promos of your match."
"Yeah. But there's something I'll have this time."
"What?"
"You. I will have you in my corner." She blushed and grinned.
"Well, you better go and get your run in."
"Yes, ma'am." I grinned as I changed into my running gear and she watched me from the bed, there were a few times I noticed her biting her lower lip in the mirror of the open closet door.
"By the way, how did I get into these much less out of my dress?" She asked.
"I stripped the dress off you carefully and put those on. Blindfolded."
"Ha, ha, ha. That I need to see." She got up and approached me as I laced my last shoe. "You are a wonder Daniel Boyce. You helped me through so much in so little time. You've given me a fun night out. You've even given me a home. And despite the many opprotunity's you had to take advantage of me. You didn't." I stood up and smiled. "Those are some of the reasons why I think you are a great man." I wrapped my arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "And hopefully sometime in the next year. You'll be my man." She grinned as she kissed me.
"I wait with baited breath for that day to arrive my love." I kissed her before we let go of each other and I went out for my run.

As the weeks went by and Monroe was taken to her father's by Sophia who was going to head home herself. Maryse and I talked about what would happen if we did come out and tell everyone we were a couple and what would be the dominant backlash of that. We also touched on the possibility of adding onto the house and even touched on the subject of being married and to start a family of our own. Aside from Monroe of course.

The night we came back to Raw, Maryse and I were preparing to head out to the gorilla to find out who would be facing me at Backlash. When she said, "You know. Maybe we should come out and tell everyone that we're together at Backlash?"
"That sounds rather doable. So I agree." I smiled. "Let's come out of the shadows at Backlash and show everyone that we are together. As boyfriend and girlfriend. Although I haven't asked you to be my girlfriend yet."
"You will."
"On the..." She nodded. "Ahh. Little French Canadian Demon." She grinned evilly. I smiled as I kissed her as she led the way to the gorilla.
When we got to the gorilla we waited for my music to hit. Once it did we made our way to the stage and after she laced her arms around my right we headed to the ring. When we reached the steps near the ramp I let her go first and when we were both on the apron I opened the top and middle rope and Maryse slipped into the ring and I swung myself into the ring as Maryse snagged a mic from Jojo.
Before she started the crowd chanted, 'Welcome back. Welcome back.'
Maryse started the segment, "Daniel. Isn't it so touching that they missed us so much?" She asked.
"Yes, it is. Although kind of makes you wonder why since we didn't really go nowhere." I shrugged as Maryse smiled. "Now we may have been gone for a little over a month. But we kept tabs on things here on Raw. And all the reviews we've been seeing recently on social media. Have been startling to us." Maryse reached into my jacket pocket and pulled up a review. 'Raw is the dumbest I've ever seen. Where are the new pair of Maryse and Boyce?' I read one major review. 'Vince better take the reigns back soon or there will be no flagship show much less WWE within a year. #Boyce&MaryseComeBack.' "Now I don't know about you, Maryse. But it seems that the WWE Universe missed us. And that we make Raw worth watching." The crowd erupted into raucous cheers and chants.
"Do you think that makes this show our show since that we make it worth watching that much?" Maryse smiled as she asked. 'Yes, yes, yes, yes.'
"I guess it does, Maryse." I grinned as I wrapped an arm around her. "Now we're here to see who I'll be facing at Backlash. But be warned whoever it is. Will not have the easiest fight taking this from me." I lifted the IC title. Then Dean Ambrose's theme came over the speakers. Once he was in the ring.
"You will be facing me at Backlash and I promise that you won't be holding that title for much longer."
"Well, I'm betting that I'll still be Intercontinental champion. When it's all said and done." I dropped the mic then leveled Dean with the title. Maryse and I exited the ring and grinned as Dean got angry and pulled himself up to his feet leaning over the ropes when he was finally vertical.
