I'm sorry if I didn't mention anyone but my notifications are a bit messed up right now...

So thank you to those I mentioned and everyone else who votes, comments and takes the time to read it :)
I love reading the comments as I am so glad you guys are so invested in it that you have these emotions x

I woke up to the sound of the doorbell going off which I assumed the sound travelling through the house was.

I sat up and realized it was a bit dark in the house and checked to see it was just after 6pm. I remembered showering and slipping on Brock's merch tee and one of his boxers as I had no clothes here, luckily for me I found one with strings so I could tighten it at the waist as Brock definitely has a bigger waist than me.

I threw off the blanket and stood up as the doorbell continued to ring.

"Brock!" I called out and realized he still wasn't back, he couldn't have thrown the keys that far.

I immediately ran to the door and swung it open and Paul stood there clearly shocked at my presence and frankly I was shocked at his.

His face frowned as he looked at me clearly noticing my scar as I had taken off the bandage, it didn't look too bad but wasn't good either I hoped it would fade before I got back to work.

"McKenzie, well this is a surprise... are you going to let me in or let me freeze to death?" he smirked and I leaned in the doorway and folded my arms.

"Still deciding..." as I recalled what he had told me the night of the Slammy's , although I couldn't blame him as he was simply being there for Brock in his own way but it didn't mean I couldn't mess with him.

"So its not 'Miss Rollins' anymore?" I raised my eyebrow.

"No .. it reminds me of your brother and frankly with all the things that has happened between him and Brock I don't want to associate you with him"

"Why now?" I could see him getting annoyed at me still not letting him in.

"Because McKenzie...you are here and you wouldn't be here unless you and Brock have spoken and sorted things out. Frankly in my honest opinion I didn't think I would ever see you near his home but hey turns out you were more than a whore.."

I was about to say something but he raised his finger and even though I wanted to bite his head off I remained quiet.

"And I am deeply sorry for calling and assuming you were one... I just figured you had to have been around if you know what I mean. If you were willing to approach the beast of the company..takes guts.. which I now respect you for."

He just thanked me for seducing his best friend , by hey as long as we were on good terms I was happy.

"Why thank you... Paul"

I smiled and moved out of the doorway into the house and the door closing let me know he took the cue and followed me in as I walked from the entrance down the hallway.

I walked into the lounge and took my previous spot and threw the blanket over my legs as I sat Indian style while he took one of the single chairs.

"Do you ever not wear a suit?" I blurted out as he set his phone on the table.

"I just came from a meeting , but mostly I do.. where is Brock?" He loosened the button of his suit and sat back looking around.

"I'm not sure actua..."

"Oh God please don't tell me you guys already started arguing again after you just..."

"NO!" I laughed.

"He just disappeared a couple hours ago and I was asleep until you got here so I don't know , he should be back soon I guess"

"Well when he does he better have a good reason for fucking leaving me stranded"

I knew Paul was exaggerating as he could have easily organized another ride as I figured he must've been referring to Monday as him and Brock were on Raw when Paige called.

"I'm surprised you haven't asked what happened to my cheek.."

I wished Brock would've gotten home already as this was the first time Paul and I were having a proper conversation apart from our one at the Slammy's.

"Its none of my business frankly but if you want to tell me you are welcome to.." he shrugged and I simply looked away into the fire as I didn't want to but I figured he knew since Brock had told him about Eric.

"That night you spoke about my ex what did Brock tell you about.."

"Nothing , I just heard you shouting at him about it at the live event so I figured I would use it against you. What you have to understand McKenzie.. "

He leaned forward in his seat as he looked at me.

"Brock and I may be close but hell I know as much about you as you probably know about me"

I nodded and felt relieved that Brock hadn't said anything and also bad that I went off on him thinking he did.

"Congratulations on your title opportunity.. using Brock's moves? Smart" he laughed.

"I did it on impulse.." I smiled and he rolled his eyes not believing me.

"He was proud though..."

I raised my eyebrow.

"Well after your interview I drove over here and we watched Raw only because I was afraid he was going to be 'impulsive' and take his jet to Raw"

"Why on earth would he do that?"

"Because.. well I don't actually know he called me after your interview and said he wanted to return.. but anyway I don't want to speak out of Brock's confidence , but I will say he was proud of you. He was smiling like a idiot and when you used his moves well he was just bragging about you like a freaking school boy I swear I had never seen Brock so.."

I heard the door opening , "Baby.. you need to... Paul"

I saw the confused look on Brock's face and I was confused as well as he stood in the doorway of the lounge with one of his arms hidden.

He disappeared and Paul looked over at me and I shrugged.

He appeared a few minutes later and had taken his jacket off. He sat next to me as both of us stared at him confused as to why he had disappeared instead of just joining us in the first place.

He avoided my gaze and looked at Paul, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to find out why I was stranded as you haven't been answering your phone"

"Its in my gym bag which is still in the truck haven't had a reason to check it. You know I don't like those things" he shrugged and looked over at me.

"Anyway I needed to speak to McKenzie.." he looked over at Paul again as I looked down due to his lie .

"With all due respect to your.. girlfriend ...don't you think you could have waited till after you dropped me at the airport?"

I looked over at Brock but Paul continued , "I'm left standing there like an idiot as The McMahon's walk by and offer to take me"

"Stop being a baby" Brock chuckled and I saw Paul shoot him a glare but say nothing.

"Anyway how long have you been here?"

I felt Brock's arm drape over my shoulder and Paul glanced at its position as well.

"About half hour or so"

I could see he was now over the whole thing and I think he was over it after our first 5minutes of speaking when he got here but probably juts wanted to give Brock some more grief.

"What the hell could you two have talked about for..." he chuckled and then stopped.

"What did you tell her about me?"

"Why do you assume that I am the one doing the storytelling?" He looked shocked and I felt Brock's gaze on me as I tried not to laugh at Paul.

"Because she wouldn't say anything" he shrugged and looked at Paul again while I was left smiling knowing he trusted me.

"So what did you tell her?"

"Just how proud you were of me for using your moves.." I shrugged and I saw Brock glare at Paul but Paul ignored it.

"She asked if you watched so I told her, I was trying to be nice like you wanted me to be"

I didn't bother telling Brock he was lying as Paul just wanted to save his own ass , I realized Brock was now staring at me.

"I was proud especially cause I didn't even teach you those moves but next time don't make me fun of me on screen" he narrowed his eyes.

"I was mad" I couldn't even recall what I had said.

"Do you see me badmouthing you on screen when I'm mad?" He raised his eyebrow as his lips were slightly parted and I realized I forgot his question.

"Kenz..." My eyes shot up and he simply shook his head and turned to Paul who was typing away on his phone unaware of me almost jumping Brock right then and there.

Not that I would, I mean that would be pretty awkward but then again Paul had walked in on quite a few of our situations.

"Yes you are.. " I heard Paul and I realized that I had zoned out again.

"Yes he is what?" I asked.

"Going to be on Raw and so are you apparently" Paul was scrolling through his phone probably reading over the programme of course he would know before me.

"So what will I be doing?"

" A segment with Summer which will turn into a match" he shrugged and I saw Brock tense but I wasn't sure why.

"What's wrong?" I whispered and he ignored me but I asked again and he sighed.

"I just don't like you working with her she can easily fucking sabotage you and injure you intentionally"

"Do you seriously think I am afraid of Summer in the ring? I have kicked her ass before Brock ..."

"I know, you asked me Kenz and that's my answer" he seemed irritated by me asking and I wish I knew why but I dropped it as we had company. I knew he wasn't fond of her but he should've known I could handle her.

Well partial company as he seemed more interested in his phone than anything else but I simply nodded.

"I have to head back I have a flight to catch" Paul stood up and surprisingly he came over to me and hugged me which I returned.

"Nice chatting to you" Brock stood up and they disappeared out of the lounge and into the hallway.



I walked into the hallway after folding the blanket and saw no Brock so I figured they were probably talking outside before Paul left so I headed up the stairs to the kitchen and as I reached it I saw a bouquet of red roses and a shopping bag.

I realized that was why he had disappeared.

I walked over to the counter and picked it up and that's when I heard the door closing echo in the house .

"Kenz?" I heard his voice and walked over to the top of the stairs and saw him at the bottom.

"Roses?" he sighed and made his way up and wrapped his arms around me.

"What are you wearing?" He looked down clearly amused at my attire.

"Are these for me?" I whispered as I ignored his question.


The Script - I'm Yours (PLEASE LISTEN TO IT. FORGOT TO ADD IT IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER BUT ANYWAY I ALSO PICTURE IT PLAYING AS HE STARES AT HER HERE. MOST OF THE LYRICS IN THIS SONG PERFECTLY DESCRIBES HIS FEELINGS.. PLEEEEEASE YOU WONT REGRET IT)

He let me go and leaned against the railing as his eyes trailed up and down my body and I wasn't sure why ,I didn't look appealing or anything but he had that look on his face, the indescribable one and as his eyes finally met mine I could tell he had been thinking about something and I wished I knew what even though I sensed it wasn't bad.



He cleared his throat and finally spoke.

"Well yeah.. I saw them and.. I was going to buy you a bunch when you were in the hospital but Paige said that it would most likely die once you got discharged as we would be travelling .. so .." I could see he felt a bit uncomfortable explaining his sweet gesture.

I set it down on the counter as I smiled brightly and hugged him to put him out of his agony.

"Thank you!" I rested my head on his chest and I felt his arms tighten around me as he placed a kiss on my head.

We weren't the 'normal' couple so I would never have expected him to buy me chocolates like he did while I was in hospital, even though Paige finished it off, or those roses but something told me it was his phone calls with Paige that brought him to do it which was weird as neither me nor her were the type of girls who cared about those things.

"Kenz.." I looked up at him as both of us still held each other.

"as much as I love seeing you walk around in my clothes I bought you some ..." he glanced behind me at the bag I assume.

"But I don't mind walking aro.."

"I know you don't but we're flying out tonight and where we will be going you'll need your own clothes"

I raised my eyebrow but he didn't continue and I figured he wanted it to be a surprise.

"Okay" I smiled and his thumb grazed over my cheek as he inspected it .

"Still sore?"

I loved how sweet he was being and I loved that no one else knew this side to him except me. To everyone else he was this beast that was on a path of destruction but with me he was on the path of fixing my messed up life even though he didn't even realize it.

"No not really.." he nodded and kissed me briefly.

"I have to pack.. You might as well just take that bag" he smirked and I placed the roses in a jug as he headed down the stairs.

A/N:

The house on the cover is the actual house he owned :)
