Damian POV

Walking into the arena I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I had been on the phone with Erin since I woke up and it felt so good to be back to being like this with her.

I hadn't wanted to go back on the road again so soon but duty calls no matter how badly you don't want it to.

"Alright I have to go now mi amor, I will call you as soon as I can. I love you" I say as we end the call.

"Excuse me? You what now?" Rhea gasps behind me making me jump "I thought you were done with mailbu barbie and you're saying you love her!"

"Jesus nightmare don't creep up on my like that" I say placing a hand on my pounding heart "it wasn't Kayla it was Erin"

"E...Erin? OK now I really am confused, I thought that was over ages ago?" She says "please tell me you are not seeing then both of them at the same time, I do not need you creating a soap opera in your private life and I am not saving your ass when it blows up"

"Woah take it easy nightmare" I chuckle "Kayla and I are done, Erin and I are giving things another go, we both realised we made a mistake. She is where I want to be"

"Well halle fucking lujah it only took you both how long to figure that out?" She says rolling her eyes "seriously though I'm happy for you, I know how much she means to you I just hope you can make it work this time"

"I have faith, we are going to work at making it work" I say "I'm not losing her again"

"I never understood why you got with Kayla anyway" she shrugs "she wasn't right for you, you didn't fit together"

"Distraction I guess. Rebound maybe I don't know. All I do know is it should never have started" I sigh

"No shit" she laughs "right we are needed in wardrobe and then we have a photoshoot so make yourself look pretty" she chuckles as she walks away

"I don't need to when I look this good already" I shout after her before making my way to the locker room to get ready.

Erin POV

Humming to myself I happily begin unpacking Damian's things. It hadn't taken him long to get everything together and move back in.

Turned out he had rented a fully furnished house so there wasn't much to move out. He had never really made it a home, some how he knew it wouldn't be permanent.

I start with his clothes organising his ring gear and hanging that separately from the rest of his clothes in their own wardrobe just like before he left.

The rest of his clothes, I put what I can away but am left with a huge stack that needs ironing - I should of known he wouldn't have taken the time to learn.

Hanging up the last pair of jeans something falls out of the pocket and bounces off my toes.

"Ouch what was that" I say looking around on the floor and then I spot it "what is...................oh my god!" I gasp before grabbing my phone.

Damian POV

I had barely made it to the photoshoot when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

"Hey mi amor" I smile answering the unexpected call "woah woah, slow down......what's happened" I ask as she frantically talks at me down the phone.

I listen as she takes a couple of deep breaths and then begins to speak again slowly and more clearly.

"I appreciate you unpacking my stuff for me but you didn't need to do that o could..........." I stop as she cuts me off "Yeah I'm very familiar with that pair of jeans what about them?" I ask

When the next words leave her mouth my heart stops and I feel it in my throat. I had completely forgotten I had left it there and she sure as hell wasn't supposed to find it.

For a moment I can't think or speak, I don't know what to say or what to tell her at this point.

"D say something!" She shouts down the phone

"Look......mi amor...........I can explain this easily and it's not what you think it is" I say "Well it is............but not it in the way you're thinking...................it wasn't............oh god I'm making a mess of this........you weren't supposed to find it" I sigh

"Oh so it's my fault?" She snaps "you told me it was over so what the hell is this?.......the receipt says........"

"I know what it says mi amor I bought the damn thing" I sigh "the date is the date I picked it up not the date I paid for it.....................I ordered and paid for it before we split............it was a custom order so it took time to make time our relationship didn't have a that point"

At that point Erin falls silent, I just imagine the expression on her face right now and even possibly how she was feeling.

I had meant to hide it and wait for the right time. This was never supposed to happen and now she knew there would be no suprise.

"I.......I need to go" she says quietly

"No.....Erin.....wait........don't.........damn it" I sigh as she ends the call
