Can't Help Falling In Love (Michele Morrone)

prologue

K A Y L A

*February 2018; Rome, Italy*

"Here's to Lyka and Kyle finally getting hitched!" I cheered for my future sister in law, raising a glass along with her other bridesmaids "Also to my awesome brother who let us have some fun in fucking Italy" I added, making them cheer as we clinked all of our glasses

"You, your brother and your best friend pulled out all the stops for the hen night and stag party" Monica teased

"One, what kind of best man and maid of honor would Austin and I be if we didn't throw Lyka and Kyle one last epic party as unmarried people?" I winked and teased back "Two, Kyle told me she always wanted to tour European countries that she's never been to before. Italy's just a little taste before the big European roadtrip for their honeymoon'' I giggled

"I hope the boys are behaving in Vegas though" Britt sighed, clearly missing her boyfriend

"I made Austin, Roddy and Bobby promise me that they'll behave and they won't hire any strippers for them and Kyle" I smiled timidly at her, taking a shot of tequila "Or I'll fly to Las Vegas by myself instantly to beat them up" I joked, making them laugh "I'll order some more shots for us!" I faked a smile, standing up and headed to the bar

"Seven more shots please?" I spoke in Italian to the bartender and grabbed my purse to pay for it

"You okay?" Lyka smiles softly as she stood next to me

"Why wouldn't I be? We're having fun in Italy!" I faked a smile and thanked the bartender before handing him the money

"That's not what she meant Kayla" Monica pops next to us and says, her eyes traveling to Britt who was laughing and talking to Lyka's high school friends who were also bridesmaids like her and Monica

"I get why Austin chose her... She's beautiful, sweet, funny, kind, hell she's a future dentist and a freaking pro wrestler at the same time" I sighed "I just wish it could've been me that he's dating... Just like Adam Cole and Kyla O Reilly" I shook my head "I can't even find a thing to hate about her" I joked, trying to prevent tears from falling down

"Please, I don't think she's the one for him, they've been only together for almost a year but you've been in love with my brother since the day you guys met, he'll realize his mistake soon enough" Monica rolls her eyes playfully

"Besides, Austin's a dick for not seeing that you have been in love with him for seven years" Lyka says, soothing my back "But tonight we're forgetting all of your boy troubles and enjoy  getting shitfaced drunk on my bachelorette party! You planned all of this for me and the girls and you need to enjoy this with us!" She grins, taking the tray and headed back to our VIP table

"She's right, forget that Austin exists for a night and fuck the hottest guy in this club" Monica winked and followed Lyka back to our table 

I sighed and walked back to our table confidently with a fake smile plastered on my face "This round's on me ladies!" I smirked and grabbed a shot as they cheered and enjoyed the night

It had been an hour and a half since Lyka and the girls left the club and headed back to the hotel, I chose to stay and do what Lyka and Monica said to me at the bar

Forget about Austin and have a one night stand with the hottest guy that walked in the club

"Mhm why does our love life fucking suck?" I asked in my drunk state with a pout, pulling away from the hottest guy who walked in the club

He had a slightly tan complexion, dark brown eyes, naturally defined nose, a really sharp jawline, perfectly trimmed beard, a messy hairstyle that still looks good on him, a few tattoos on his right hand and the most kissable lips on this planet

Holy shit, this man is too perfect

"My ex wife found another dick to ride and your best friend is blind as a fucking bat for not seeing how amazing you are" he chuckled and took a swig of another beer while wrapping his other arm around my shoulder

"Man your ex wife is so fucking dumb, I would never cheat on my husband if he looks like you" I giggled and took another shot of tequila, making me more drunk than I already am

"Marry me then" he proposed and looked at me seriously, caressing my cheek

"Forget that Austin exists for a night and fuck the hottest guy in this club..." Monica's words echo in my head

Psh, I'll do more than that Monica...

I let the alcohol in my system fully take over my brain and sat on his lap, feeling something underneath me grow by the second, mixing with the arousal I was having for this stranger since the moment I saw him

"Let's get married then" I giggled and smashed our lips together for the nth time

Little did I know, I was making the best and worst mistake of my life

A/N: Hello my lovelies and welcome to a brand new story after my unannounced mini hiatus 😂

I recently moved in to a new place and I didn't have wifi for a week so I did a Filipino movie marathon all week 🙈

Like I said in the cast chapter, this story is heavily inspired by the 2017 Filipino romance movie called "Can't Help Falling In Love" starring real life sweethearts Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla with a few more wrestling related tweaks of my own and Michele Morrone being Daniel's counterpart in my story 😌

I hope you guys are excited for this story as much as I am 🥰

-Sofia 💕

PS: I might start a few stories that are heavily inspired by Filipino movies with my own wrestling and/or fanfiction spin on them, starting with this one ☺️
