My phone ringing at ten wakes me up. I groan and get up, putting on a large t-shirt and shorts before running into the living room to get it. I answer it, half asleep. "Hello?" I mumble.

"Good morning, Angelina," I hear Regal say through the phone. "I apologize if I've woken you up."

I yawn and say, "No, it's okay. What can I do for you, Mr. Regal?"

Regal says, "Kenny Omega called me this morning and said he would like a meeting at noon today here at the Performance Center to speak about the NXT and AEW pay-per-view event. He said he'd like you and Adam Cole there as well as his men and women's champion. I know that today is your day off but can you please attend this meeting?"

I don't want to but I say, "Yes, I'll be there at noon. Um, who is going to be there for AEW?"

"I believe the AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and the AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida will be here along with Kenny Omega himself," Regal says. "Don't worry. Britt Baker won't be making an appearance."

I sigh and say, "Thank you, Mr. Regal. I'll see you at noon."

We say goodbye and I hang up the phone. I rub my eyes and bring up Adam's contact. I press 'call' and put the phone on speaker as I walk back to my bedroom. It rings a few times before Adam says, "Good morning."

"Hey," I say. "Did you get a call from Regal this morning?"

He says, "Yeah, he called me about ten minutes ago. Said there was a meeting this morning."

I grab an outfit for the day before I walk to the bathroom, still on the phone with Adam. I ask, "Are you going?"

"Yeah," he says. "I'm about to leave to head to the Performance Center and train a bit before I head to the meeting."

I say, "I'll see you when I get there."

Adam says, "See you there."

We say goodbye then hang up the phone. I strip out of my t-shirt and shorts before getting in the shower. I quickly wash and condition my hair. I shave my legs and under my arms, I wash my face and body. I turn the water and get out.

I clear off some of the steam that has appeared on the mirror above the sink and I begin to dry off. I wrap a towel around my body and blow dry my hair. I put half of it up in a little ponytail so it stays out of my face and let the rest fall in it's natural waves. I'm making sure it looks okay when I see a little mark on my skin right under my ear. I sigh. Adam.

I put on my underwear and a strapless bra before I put on a pale blue romper with off the shoulder sleeves. The top part of the romper is lacey and shows off a little bit of my stomach. The solid fabric starts right at my waist. I walk into my bedroom and grab a pair of nude colored heeled ankle boots. They give me about three inches of extra height.

I put on some light makeup and I add a little to my neck to hide the mark Adam gave me last night.

My phone starts to ring and I answer it before looking to see who it was. "Hello?" I say as I walk into the living room.

"Look out your window," I hear Adam say through the window. "The living room window."

I ask, "Why?" I start to walk over to the living room window. I'm only three stories up and my apartment faces the street.

Adam says, "Just look. I have a little something for you."

I laugh softly and look out the window. Adam stands against his car holding a Dunkin bag and iced coffee. I say into the phone, "You didn't have to bring me food."
