A week after the double date*

With the surprise engagement between Alex and Lexi, that has left the group one less man since he was taking time off from the change.

So that leaves Anthony and Donte on the same page while they were slowly teasing the end of Tommy's reign as the leader.

Everyone in the WWE universe knows something big is about to happen as they were all on the same page a month ago, now they're all on alert since no one can trust Tommy.

He's shown that he can turn his back in a blink of an eye by winning the money in the bank briefcase. The heat that was building between the leader and the Universal Champion was slowly turning the fans eyes since anything can happen to spark blow up in the group.

Now with Donte, his character was off live tv after the backstage promo with the group. People suggested he was injured but when it came to social media, cryptic messages filled his social media accounts and silence to any other questions.

People would try and reach out to Sasha for answers but nothing was said. What people don't know is that he's currently under character reconstruction. With the drama happening between two people in the group which left him and Alex hanging dry, Donte figured this would be a perfect time to vanish.

Anthony and Becky have been hitting it off lately. Celebrated five months together with nothing posted online. Both have kept their relationship pretty quiet on social media and on live tapings. Some of the creative teams wanted to tease them more and more, shoving their relationship straight out into the world and they didn't want that.

So now they would go on their dates whenever they could outside of work.

And last but not least, Tommy and Bayley. This has been a rollercoaster of fun with them as they have been becoming the couple he always looked for.

From them "celebrating" their six months with the double date at Disneyworld, they felt like they needed more.

Since they hit a huge milestone on their relationship, Tommy figured that it's time for her to meet his side of the family. It was time to meet the Majors.

Thursday*

Today was a big day as Tommy would he traveling with his girlfriend back to his family. He usually would say "hometown", but after all the moving around caused by his recklessness as a teenager they never stayed anywhere to call home.

His dad was the only place he was able to call home after it changed his life.

With his dad and also his sister living together in Vegas, Tommy was excited to have Bayley meet them. Since the whole situation between his mom, they haven't connected since his graduation in Japan.

He wasn't too worried since she was better off without him being a menace to society in her world. It would be nice to reconnect since he's grown out of that immature faze and is a better man after learning respect in Japan.

In Texas*

Tommy was still at home, not fully packed and asleep.

What he doesnt know is that he's about to get a rude awakening in about ten minutes.

With Bayley*

She was awake at the crack of dawn, packed and ready to go. As she finished all that, a run and getting Flex all packed for when she leaves.

They both decided to leave him since Tommy's dad is allergic to dogs so it would be unfair to leave him in a bedroom whenever they're out and about.

Now it was time to leave soon, so she tried to text and call her boyfriend many times. No answer, big mistake.

Tommy made a bad decision by letting her know where the spare key to the side door of the house was so they both were going to go surprise him.

Now outside*

Bayley was lugging all her luggage to her car while keeping her pup on a leash, since she figured that they weren't leaving for sometime as hes still sleeping; time to spend time with her boy until she leaves.

So they packed up in her car, drove down the road and parked in his driveway as all the window curtains were closed and the outside lights were still on.

Bayley: Yep, he's still asleep. *looks at Flex* Let's go wake up daddy.

They both then got out of the car, closed the door and walked up to the side of the house. Since all the lights were out that was a sign to go in this way.

Bayley grabbed the key from underneath a secret rock somewhere next to the door, put it in the key hole and unlocked it watching Flex rush inside.

She put the key back and walked inside the dark house and felt around for a light.

When they flipped on the spotless house was now light up and silent. Besides the sounds of Flex's paws hitting the ground there was no sign of her boyfriend.

Then, she watched as Flex then got out from her grip and ran up the stairs. She quickly went running after him incase he didn't want Flex inside the house or even his bedroom.

When they were at his door, she turned the knob and opened it to see nothing but darkness.

Bayley: whispered* Tom!?

Nothing.

She then turned on his bedroom light and found Flex. He was sitting by his bedside as Tommy was now visible underneath all of the blankets.

Bayley: whispered* Flex, come here.

She bent down to try and get him to come over to her, but then he yelped a little following a bark.

That then sent shock down Bayley's spine since the bed started to move and she saw Tommy starting to wake up.

With Tommy*

His eye's slowly opened to a light room and a figure standing in the doorway, but that was interrupted by a light panting sound come from below him off the bed.

Tommy: opens his eyes completely*

Bayley was still a little out of focus from sleepy eye, but he looked over his bed and saw the little white dog sitting there with a smile on his face.

Tommy: Oh. *Stretches a little while reaching his arm out from under the covers* Hi buddy.

He pet his girlfriends dog as she walked from the doorway and crouched next to him.

Bayley: Good morning. Sorry about him.

She pet him while trying to apologize to him.

Tommy: No, no. That's fine. Morning to you too.

She then bent down and gave him a light peck on the cheek while he then moved around and sat up as she picked up her dog and sat on the side of the bed.

Bayley: So, since you're awake. How about we get ready for that trip?

Tommy: Streches some more* Oh, shit.

Bayley: What?

Tommy: I haven't packed yet.

Bayley: Tom.

Tommy: I forgot. I swear.

She rolled her eyes as he quickly leaped out of bed and was now hunting for everything essential.

It took minutes to pack which surprised Bayley as he then grabbed clothes and went into his bathroom to change.

20 minutes later*

Tommy was in his sweats and a new shirt as he walked out of his bedroom with Bayley and Flex. She carried him downstairs while Tommy was behind her carrying his bags.

With time to kill, they walked into the backyard as Tommy packed the car. They were taking her car to the airport, so he got everything packed and walked back to his backyard to see Bayley enjoying her time with Flex.

When she picked him back up, Tommy snapped a photo of them and posted it with a "❤" in the photo.

@tmajorswwe

"The reason I smile"

That then threw everyone off that monitored their favorite wrestler's on social media.

Everytime someone would assume and ask if they were dating, they both would deny it and move on quickly before anything else could be put into the speculation.

When he posted it, Bayley then walked over and saw his photo. She loved it and they then walked out and continued to walk Flex back to Bayley and Carmella's house.

She hired a dog sitter to watch him while they're gone for three days. But this was a great moment in the mean time as Bayley took a selfie of her with Tommy in the backround with Flex's leash.

An hour later*

Tommy and Bayley were at the airport all checked in and waiting at their gate. Today was a little surprise as his sister doesn't know he's coming back to town, and it's been a while since she's seen him.

The last time the siblings saw each other was a tour show in California for when Tommy was still in NJPW. That's been over nine months and it's been killing them both.

That'll end soon as their gate was called and Tommy grabbed Bayley's hand as they boarded.

It was a quick hour and a half flight to Vegas, so they'd be there quick.

When they sat down and got comfortable next to each other, Bayley took off her hat and rearranged her hair before noticing something.

Bayley: I have no idea how I got your hat.

Tommy: Keep it. Looks good on you.

He winked at her and that made her laugh, but they took off and Tommy was scrolling through his phone. Bayley was doing the same but hunting down comments on that photo her boyfriend posted.

It was mostly fans saying "They were right" and or "How cute" the photo was. Tommy on the other hand just had a shocking moment since he found his plans for the next pay per view over social media.

@WWE

"Tommy Majors versus the Universal Champion Anthony Jenkins in a title match. Watch Extreme Rules next Sunday on the network"

Tommy: Wow.

Bayley: What?

She looked over and saw the announcement.

Bayley: This is how you found out?

Tommy: Yeah, no call or text. Twitter.

Bayley: Typical.

They then continued to surf their accounts the whole flight with some small talk.

Las Vegas*

They have been in Sin City for over an hour and now walking out of the airport. Both had their bags and was now getting in a ride sharing car, headed to see his family.

Bayley was getting a bit nervous the closer they got, but Tommy gripped her hand when they pulled up.

Tommy: Thanks for the ride man.

He tipped the driver, got out of the car and unpacked it before he drove off. Bayley was now standing next to him with her bags as he grabbed her hand again.

Tommy: Ready to meet the Majors?

Bayley: smiles* Yeah.

He then walked her to the front door of the nice three bedroom Vegas strip view home. Two cars were in the driveway, one his dads and the other was his little sister's.

She was in college and back which was perfect timing.

They both walked up to the door, slowly turned the knob and opened the door. His dad knew he was coming, but the surprise was for his sister.

When he walked in, his dad was on the couch as the food was grilling. He quickly caught his eye on the couple as they walked in.

Bayley watched his dad stand up, walk over and hug his son. It was a wholesome moment until they heard someone come around the corner.

Abby: Thomas!

Tommy: What's up sis?

She quickly walked over and hugged her older brother, another wholesome moment for the family. But then it was time for them to meet someone.

Tommy: let's go of his sister* Abby, dad. Meet Pam. Pam, meet my sister and dad.

Brent: Pam! Nice to meet you.

He hugged her as his sister then quickly hugger her back.

Abby: I love your tattoo.

She turned her wrist to show the galaxy tattoo.

Bayley: Awe, thank you. Still have some more to do.

Brent: Let's save the talking for lunch.

He showed them to the spare bedroom and walked out to the grill.

Tommy and Bayley walked into the queen bedroom that had a huge window overlooking the backyard and the strip.

Bayley: Look at this view.

Tommy: My dad did say it was a great one.

They both then put their bags on the bed and unpacked a little before they heard his dad call for them.

It didn't take Tommy long to grab Bayley's hand and walk her downstairs and out the back.

There was a pool and firepit in the backyard. But his sister was sitting at the table joining was her dad. He set the food down and the couple joined them digging into the plates.

A couple minutes of random talk*

Brent: Alright Tom, does Pam know about your racing?

Tommy: Yeah.

Brent: So I have a story.

Tommy: Oh boy.

Brent: This one is funny.

He settled in a little to get ready for the little story.

Brent: Tommy is probably seventeen at the time, second time moving. Him and his mom are living in Detroit while I had Abby. I was currently serving in the Navy and was back for sometime to visit, I fly Abby and myself back to the States to drop her off. I get a message from Tommy's mom..

Tommy: Oh no, it's this one.

Brent: Oh yea it is *laughs*

Tommy: Ok, Pam. Remember this, I was a shithead back then.

Abby: You got that right.

His family was just roasting him in front of his girlfriend, Bayley thought it was pretty funny.

Brent: Anyways. I show up to the house not answering his moms text with an unfamiliar car in the driveway. When I get out with Abby, we walk up to the door with a guy standing out there furious. When I say furious, I mean he was pissed.

Tommy: All my fault.

Brent: Tommy here was racing people, he would always have them bet their cars-

He was interrupted by Tommy's sister joining in.

Abby: He would then bet his pot.

Tommy: Oh god.

Brent: This kid was growing to bet it in races.

Bayley was shocked at the news that he grew marijuana.

Brent: Don't worry though. He said he was fascinated by it and never tried it, just bet it.

Tommy: It was a great set back incase I lost. Kept the cars, lost some plants. Big deal.

Brent: Back to the story. This dude is pounding on the door wanting in. I walk up and ask who he was and what he wanted. All he responded was "This kid said he would give me weed if I won, I won and now he won't give it to me. I'm about to call the cops."

Bayley's face was dumbfounded on what he just said.

Brent: Right? He was going to call the cops because he didn't get his weed. Pushed the dude back in his car and watched him off.

Tommy: That dude was psycho.

Abby: The people you hung out with were psycho.

Tommy: Good thing I grew out of that shit when I was shipped to Japan.

Bayley: How was Japan for him?

Brent: looks at his son* It was a restart. I saw his change in attitude quickly.

Tommy: Best decision you and mom made.

He had his hand on his shoulder before the conversation changed.

Bayley: Where is your mom?

Tommy: After shipping me to Japan, she bounced. I haven't talked to her since my signing to New Japan.

Brent: It's for the best. She wasn't fit to be a single parent.

They all then quickly changed the subject, buy just as that happened Tommy looked down at his phone.

*Random Number

Location: San Diego

Tommy: Babe, I gotta take this.

Bayley smiled back at him and watched him walk back inside after hearing him a little before the door closed.

Tommy: What's up man!

The door closed and it was time for his sister to ask her question.

Abby: Hey Pam, can I ask you something?

Bayley: Sure.

Abby: Is my brother good to you? I've seen your pictures on social media and the ones he sent me before meeting you.

She smiled as she didn't know that he sent his family photos of her before meeting them.

Bayley: He's such a gentleman. With the backstory behind him being a trouble maker, I would've never thought of any of that if not knowing.

Abby: Someones in love!

That then gave her goosebumps before the subject changed.

They all were still eating when another question came her way.

Abby: He says you have a dog?

Bayley: Flex. He's my boy.

She pulled out her phone and showed her a photo of them she took this morning at Tommy's.

Abby: Awe, he's so cute.

She then showed more and one with Tommy holding him during their first date.

Tommy then came back ten minutes later after a nice talk with an old pal. He then joined his girl and family as they conversation picked back up.

2 hours later*

Tommy's dad had to run out for a second and his sister was already gone with some friends, so that left Tommy and Bayley.

They were in a rental car currently pulling into a abandoned airstrip. He drove all the way down to the other end and parked the car.

It was in the middle of the desert outside of Las Vegas and Bayley had no idea what they were doing out there.

He walked over and grabbed her hand before walking her over to the end of the runway.

Bayley: What's this?

She saw old tire marks from street racing, but this one was sideways.

Tommy: This is where my life changed. This is the very spot where I rolled my car during my last drag race.

That was a surprise to her, and she was looking at his history.

Tommy: Spun out where the car is now, was sideways here-

She was following his finger as he pointed everywhere.

Tommy: - and at the end is where the rolling started.

Bayley: This was the last time before getting shipped to Japan?

Tommy: The very one. Still crazy that it happened here.

They looked around a little more before heading back out and cruising around the city.

Later that night*

The Vegas strip was coming alive as night fell and the lights were brightening up.

Tommy's dad had gone to bed early, so that left Tommy, Bayley and his sister at the fire they started in the back.

His sister was roasting marshmallows for the couple and listing to the music they had on the wireless speaker.

With the view, music and coziness, Tommy felt complete.

Abby: yawns* I think I'm going to go to bed. Leave you two lovebirds out here.

Tommy: laughs* Alright, night sis.

Bayley: Night Abby.

She walked off and went inside closing the sliding glass window behind her. That then left Tommy and Bayley.

As the song picked up, Tommy felt something deep inside him and didn't know how to control it.

But that changed when Bayley cuddled up closer to him under the blanket.

Tommy: wrapped his arm around her*

Bayley: suddenly kisses him*

When they pulled away, he came out and said it.

Tommy: I love you.

Bayley continued to look into his eyes, then they both smiled at each other.

Bayley: I love you too.

She then put her hand on his cheek before sharing a passionate kiss as the nightlife was happening in front of them.
