14. Love & War
Neve POV
"He? You mean Cody? My best friend?" I ask "he came to talk to me about War Games" I say taking a deep breath
"Oh you didn't" he says raking his hands through his hair "please tell me you didn't?"
"Didn't what?" I ask not sure if we are on the same page
"Tell me you didn't join his team?" He asks looking deep into my eyes and I swear I see an element of sadness in those big chocolate brown eyes
"I did" I say and he rolls his eyes before turning away from me "but only because it would be unexpected........"
"And dangerous" he growls "y/n this isn't an ordinary match and I won't be able to protect you"
"Wait so because I'm you're girlfriend suddenly I'm weak? Suddenly you doubt my ability to hold my own in a match like this?" I snap "I will be just fine I don't need protecting"
"Baby listen to me please" he pleads "War Games is brutal, I know you can hold you're own, hell I've seen you do it but I don't want to see you get hurt, I don't want to have to be on the road without you"
For a moment I just look into my boyfriends eyes seeing a mixture of concern, sadness and something else I can't pin point. I reach up and take his face in my hands in an attempt to reassure him.
"I won't get hurt" I say "I'm going to be fine, but if you were that worried why didn't you ask me to be on your team?" I ask
"Same reasons, I don't want you in this match" he says "it's not too late you can tell him you've changed you're mind"
"You don't think I can do this do you?" I ask letting go of his face and moving back from him "you don't think I'm good enough for a match like this?"
"That's not what I am saying, why are you always so hard headed?" He growls "dame fuerza"
"I'm hard headed? We've been together six months and you already think you can tell me what to do with my career" I snap "you might be my boyfriend but you have no say in the work choices I make"
"You say that like I'm trying to control you" he snaps back "I'm not, I would never...........if you got hurt in this match I wouldn't be able to help you, I wouldn't be able to do anything and I would never be able to forgive myself doing nothing when you needed me"
"Look if I do get hurt, which I won't Cody will look after me" I say "you have to trust that, he's my best friend he won't let anything happen to me, he will keep me safe"
Damian begins to pace around the room sighing heavily and I'm finding it more and more difficult to understand why he is struggling with this so much.
As he paces he runs his hands over his hair and down his face, he then turns and punches a locker making me jump a little and then to my suprise he falls to his knees, his head hung and hands resting on his thighs.
"Baby what is going on?" I ask crouching in front of him "what aren't you telling me?"
"I just want you safe.........War Games is brutal anything can go wrong and Rhea won't be gentle" he sighs "I know Cody will take care of you I don't doubt that........but I.........he doesn't"
"He doesn't what?" I ask as he takes hold of my hands and looks deep into my eyes
"He doesn't love you......not........not the way I do" he says and I see his eyes start to fill with tears "I love you y/n that's why I'm so scared of you getting in that match"
"Oh D" I smile "now I understand, becuase I feel the same about you being in this match but I have faith that you will be ok. Do you want to know why I feel the same?" I ask with a smile and he nods up at me "becuase I love you.....I love you the same way you love me"
"Yeah" he asks with a tear stained smile, I nod and he presses his lips softly against mine before moving away "I promise I will try not to worry so much just promise me you will be careful"
"I promise" I say "but remember one thing, when it comes to this match......alls fair in love and war"
Rhea POV
I had to admit I was impressed wit h Priest, his plan was absolutely genius and I couldn't wait to reap the benefits of his little scheme. One way or another both her and Cody were going to come crashing down.
"Mami" Dom says hesitantly "I.......I'm not sure Priest is doing what you think......I think he was being honest i think he is genuinely with her"
"Don't be ridiculous" I say turning to look at my Latino heat "he knows better than to get involved with the enemy"
"You know.....he's right I think you are taking this past a storyline" Finn says "Priest is right about Neve not being an enemy and being innocent aswell"
"ENOUGH" I snap "Trust me I'm right about Priest........you'll see"
