Right after you kissed Zelina on the cheek and skipped away, she was joined by a few other female wrestlers such as Mandy Rose, Lana and Sarah Logan who have seen everything. They have embarked a big pile of questions and Zelina answered every single one of them, no matter what. Yes, at one point it got a bit too private, but she's not that good at dodging questions. Then again, this is making things more interesting around the WWE. With Sarah being already married to Rowe and Lana being Rusev's wife, Mandy is one of the few single ladies in the WWE to Zelina's knowledge. Her and Aleister are only good friends as well, not disrupting your close friendship with her. Even when, he knows when to stop and to give you guys space. He doesn't have anything against you, you have nothing against him and the moment you clashed back in NXT at one point, you two went even crazier than anything the main roster had to offer at that time, so whenever you need a sparing partner, Aleister is your first choice.

Just as mentioned, you're involved in a conversation with the dutch man who is currently smiling as he listens to you. It's not often you catch him before he goes for his usual workout and you would love to join, but you got to get your car back first.

Y/N:" So when I went for a Roundhouse Kick the first time, it really hurt my leg. Is that normal in the first few times?"

Aleister:" The speed and the target also play a big role in that, but yes. Without proper stretching technique and without focuss, you will struggle to execute moves like I do."

Y/N:" Oh, that's a good point. How have you been so far anyways? I mean I've seen your matches and promos, but aside from that."

Aleister:" I've been mostly fine so far. The training is keeping me up good, I'm eating healthy and I sleep well, so nothing much has happened. How about you?"

Y/N:" Aside from what I told you about yesterday, I've been doing fine as well. I'm obviously not in the same shape as you, but that's due to my personality, picking up things that I rarely ever do. I should give my folks a call later today to let 'em know I'm fine."

Aleister:" When was the last time you called them?"

Y/N:" Last Friday I think. Some weeks I call them at least twice, other times I call after a few months, depending on where I am and what mood I'm in. I'm not exactly set on one set of emotions, buuuut these calls can get really tiring really fast."

Aleister:" They're still your parents, so they have every right to know how you are doing."

Y/N:" You're right, Aleister. I think I should take my car back before they get the idea of selling it to someone."

Aleister:" Be careful wherever you are, okay? You never know with the people in town."

You then smile and high five him before saying your goodbyes to each other and parting ways. He really is showing interest in what you have to say as well as you do when he talks about how to work on certain things for different fighting styles. The fact that Aleister is a Mixed Martial Artist impresses you every time since his hits and kicks look and feel devastating. Not many people can do that, so he has earned your respect when you faced off for the first time. Exiting the hotel, you turn left and begin your walk towards the repair shop. You left a message for Zelina via WhatsApp, saying that you will see her once you're back and that you will meet her for breakfest then.

------------------------------------------------------------------

When you arrive at the shop, you see an employee polishing the hood of your car. It's nice to see that people still have an appreciation for vintage cars like the Firebird and that makes you smile as you walk closer, getting everyone's attention.

Y/N:" Good morning, guys. Nice of you to take care of my car like that."

Mechanic:" It's a great car. We never had one like this in the shop at all, so you brought us a real diamond. It's a shame to see it go, but you're the owner and you need to get around after all."

Y/N:" Still, it's great to have you guys do the job and I can't thank you enough for getting it to work again."

Mechanic:" It's gonna work fine for the next few years, but you should consider retiring it one day.  Judging from its age, the whole thing has taken a lot in its life."

Y/N:" I know...I have many memories involving the car and it has been a great friend, but like any good thing in our life, it has to come to an end. How much is the whole thing?"

Mechanic:" Hmm, let me think. Since we're not ripping anybody off, so I'd say 500."

Y/N:" Fair price. I know how much goes into doing this stuff and the price is a good one."

You take out your wallet and pull out the money, bill after bill. It has always been difficult to keep the car up and running, but in the end it's well worth it. Luckily you're quickly handed the keys and a minute later, you're back on the streets, driving back to the hotel to meet up with Zelina again. She has texted you back, saying she's awake now and that the meeting for breakfest is on. Chuckling shortly, you focuss on the road and head back.

-------------------------------------------------------

When you get back to the hotel, you immediately hear someone say 'Someone is having a good day', but when you turn around, you realize it's not that someone means you. then again, you still like how polite people can be to each other. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same expression as these two as you see Zelina coming down with a somehow annoyed expression.

Y/N:" Good morning, Zelina. I take it that you didn't have the best night?"

Zelina:" And you'd be right in that assumption. Ugh, my room was way too warm because to AC broke down when we were gone. I already called someone to fix it and they're supposed to arrive whenever. Can we just go eat breakfest? I'm not in the mood for many people around right now."

Y/N:" Alright, then let's go somewhere a bit more secluded."

Zelina nods and so you both walk out to look for somewhere to eat. You don't like it when Zelina is grumpy, so you try your best to make her laugh with your whole movements and some quotes you picked up over time, but it doesn't really work until one moment where you don't pay attention and crash into a lamp post, hitting your head on it. This causes the dark haired woman to laugh before she helps you back up and so you straigthen yourself again before looking at her. Yes, her smile makes your heart melt, but you don't wanna admit it yet.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Some minutes after that, you and Zelina have found a small restaurant that offers many different things over the day and go in, greeting the cashier and waiters on the way in. a free table in the corner away from the big crowd is very much what Zelina needs right now, so she rushes at it and takes a seat there, sighing in relief. You join her a moment later and take the menu to look at what is on it for the morning. You also don't notice that she glances at you from time to time, studying your face over time to know what you're thinking. When the waitress comes, she shifts back to her usual demeanor and waits for you to give your order.

Waitress:" Hello, you two. Thank you for coming to our humble restaurant. May I take your order?"

Y/N:" Yes, I'll take a plate of waffles with syrup and some blueberries. And a cup of green tea to drink."

Waitress:" Alright, I got that. What about you, Miss?"

Zelina:" I'll just take an Omlett with cheese and red bellpeppers in it with a cappucino."

Waitress:" Very well, your orders will be ready soon."

So she leaves and gives you both more freedom. It's better though as Zelina seems to have a lot on her mind and she should get that out as soon as possible while she can. Leaning back, you sigh and begin to ask her.

Y/N:" Alright, Zel. I can see that there's a lot going on in your pretty head. What is it?"

Zelina:" What do you mean? I'm fine."

Y/N:" At least you say you ae, but I can see something is brewing up in there. Tell me."

Zelina:" Ugh, alright. I know how stubborn you can be when you don't get your way....So I've been thinking: since we are best friends since childhood, has it ever crossed your mind that we may be more than that? I don't mean superbest friends or stuff like that, I mean...romantically."

Y/N:" You mean as a couple. Did that come up after I kissed you on the cheek last night?"

Zelina:" Not only that, but also a lot more. Ever since we went to school together, you have helped me around, you have protected me, you made me laugh and your recklessness is a nice change from the happy-go-lucky guys in town. When we graduated, we had this big party at your place and got really wild during that...much to the dismay of your then-girlfriend Kelly. She had thrown me out and you guys had a huge fight the day after."

Y/N:" Yeah, I remember that, She left a while later and began a new life over in Pennsylvania. Then I got into wrestling and made my way while you also carved your path along the entire world."

Zelina:" Yes, years later fate would want us to reunite when you were accepted to the WWE. I was so excited and also about to cry tears of joy when I heard the news."

Y/N:" Iwas pretty surprised myself when I was accepted and when I got back together with you, I took the whole next night to even process everything that happened."

The thoughts back to that time make you chuckle as well as also think about how it was back home. That actually digs up another memory which makes you go silent again, folding your hands and looking at them. Zelina notices and puts one of hands on yours.

Zelina:" Hey, what's wrong?"

Y/N:" I think there is something I should've adressed before...You see, my p- never mind."

Zelina:" I know your parents, Kyle and Alicia. They were always so nice to me and had me come over very often. They were such nice people. I'd love to see them again."

Y/N:" Yeah, me too.......The thing is, they...they're not my real parents. They adopted me just a few weeks after I was put up for it.....I never knew my real parents."

Zelina:" Oh my. I'm so sorry to hear that. Why didn't you say anything sooner?"

Y/N:" I wasn't ready for it. I...I didn't know when or how I was gonna do it, but I wanted to...Kyle never really mentioned that fact until I was out of the arena a few years ago. He didn't want people to hear about this and Alicia wasn't very fond of the people who were supposed to be my real parents."

Zelina:" Is there anything I can do to cheer you up?"

Y/N:" You just need to stay the way you are. You're smart, kind, wise, helpful, funny, witty, clever and so much more and I need you to keep being you, because the Zelina I know is the perfect one."

Smiling and blushing, she shyly turns away and takes the compliment while you smile as well when suddenly the waitress comes and brings your food to the table. The plates are full to the brim, really trying to fulfill your appetite. You thank the young girl who eyes you up and down before she leaves again to serve other customers. When Zelina turns back towards you, she has to giggle as a piece of waffle hangs out of your mouth, making you look slightly stupid and comedic. You two begin to eat and chat occasionally as well during that time, not noticing the same waitress from before looking at you during your meal.
