5. Conflicted
Neve POV
My in ring debut had gone without a hitch, when I came backstage Cody of course was there to congratulate me along with some one else I hadn't expected to see.
Damian was there with one of his Judgment Day friends I had felt his eyes on me immediately.
When I noticed him moving towards me I had taken Cody by the hand and rushed out of guerrilla. Of course he had asked what was going on but I had said nothing unsure of how he would react.
The following night I'd had a choice of going for a few drinks with some of the girls or watching Cody's match at the house show. Since he had been there for my debut I thought it only right I was there for his match.
Very quickly I found myself wishing I had chosen the other option when I saw who is opponent was.......Damian.
I was very conflicted throughout the match, I cheered and shouted for Cody more than anything right now I wanted him to kick Damian's ass but at the same time I found myself feeling concerned for Damian and not wanting him to get hurt.
In fact I was conflicted in general, I could still feel his lips on mine and the way it made me feel. A part of me was desperate for him to kiss me again and the other part wanted to slap him for leaving me like he did.
I cheer loudly as Cody gets the pin but then as he grabs a mic to talk to the fans I see Damian heading my way from the ring.
I turn myself so that I will have my back to him thinking he will just walk past and leave me alone.
"Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you here" he says softly and I bite on my lip to stop myself smiling "Neve please can we talk"
"I don't think we have anything to say" I say trying to stay strong and stand my ground but I know my resolve is failing.
"Please just five minutes, but not here" he pleads
Before I can speak he takes hold of my hand and tales me through the backstage area to an empty room. He pulls me I into the room and closes the door and I just look at him in disbelief
"I don't believe I agreed to speak to you" I say crossing my arms "Cody will be looking for me"
"I want to apologise for last night, I shouldn't have walked away like that" he says "I panicked I wasn't sure if you had wanted me to kiss you and I thought I'd over stepped"
"So me kissing you back didn't tell you anything?" I ask "Look you were right it shouldn't have happened, clearly one of us didn't want it and it wasn't me"
"No Neve, I did want it" he says taking hold of my hands "but hanging out we can make work, anything more im not sure we can, it's........it's complicated"
"If you want me then it shouldn't be complicated" I say "if you really want me you wouldn't care........I have to go don't follow me" I say walking out of the room.
Damian POV
All I could do was stare at the door with a sigh. I had royally messed this up, I really liked Neve and she was right I shouldn't care, so why did I? Why was I letting this stupidity get in the way.
I had hoped I would get the chance to kiss her again but I lost any chance I may have had by saying we couldn't do anything more than hang out, what the hell was wrong with me?
Everything in me wanted to follow her but I knew she was going to Cody and he was sure to guide her away like he did last night after her debut.
I make my way back to my locker room to get showered and changed and then I have an idea.
Grabbing my phone I type out a quick text to Neve and then get into the shower hoping there will be a reply when I get back.
Neve POV
As I head back to guerilla to meet Cody I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Taking it out as I walk I open the message and see it's from Damian.
Damian: I'm sorry, please give me a chance to make this right. Meet me, later tonight, the big oak tree behind the hotel x
Shaking my head I close the message and put my phone back in my pocket. Once again I was conflicted, I wanted to meet him but yet I wanted to be mad at him. I needed time to think, I couldn't make a decision right now.
"Hey there you are" Cody beams "did you enjoy the match.......you ok you look upset?" He asks
"Yeah I'm good" I smile wrapping my arm around his back "the match was amazing you did a great job kicking his ass"
"Well thank you but you forget I know you better than anyone an I know you just lied to me Neve" he says looking at me warmly "so here's what's going to happen, I'm going to shower and change and then we are going for dinner and you are going to tell me what you need to talk about"
"That obvious huh?" I chuckle
"You've never been good at hiding your emotions" he says kissing my forehead "I won't be long"
With that he leaves me to wait and I know I have no escape, I'm going to have to tell him the truth.
