*DISCONTINUED* The Man's Bodyguard (Becky Lynch X OC)

The Talk

Becky sits down on the edge of the bed as Eric closes the door behind him and he pulls the chair close to the end of the bed and sits directly in front of her. She looks at him puzzlingly as he takes a deep breath

Becky: "Alright, what's this all about lad?"

Eric: "Alright, I'm just going to say it. I'm worried about you"

Becky: *chuckles a little* "Worried about me? What do you mean your worried about me? I'm fine"

Eric: "No Becky, you really aren't. I know you always smile and look cheerful when i am looking at you or we are in public, but when you think I'm not looking i can see how you really are. If this working relationship is going to work, whether it's as your bodyguard or as your boyfriend or both, you have to talk to me"

Becky is looking at him surprised by what he is saying, still in complete denial about the situation

Becky: "Come on love, why don't you say we turn in for the night and talk about this tomorrow?" She says giving him a little seductive look trying to get him to forget about it but he isn't budging

Eric: "Becky, i care about you, a lot. I'm not the only one who is noticing. Charlotte told me the same thing when we got coffee this morning"

Becky: "Oh she is just being dramatic. Come on babe, let's order champagne, get a little frisky" she says getting up and going to sit in his lap but he stands up

Eric: "Becky, you really need to talk this out. I would like for you to do it with me but if i have to take you to a psychiatrist i won't hesitate"

Becky's mood instantly changed and she started to get upset

Becky: "You know what? I don't need this I'm going to see if i can get another room"

She starts to walk toward the door but Eric grabs her around her waist and picks her up

Becky: "Let me go you asshole! I'm not staying in this room with you if you are going to act like this. I'm Becky fucking Lynch, I'm The Man, i don't need therapy and i don't need to talk"

Eric sits her back down on the bed and she slaps him across the face as hard as she can. Eric acts like he is unfazed and it didn't really hurt him but it hurt him more emotionally that she would hit him. Becky finally realizes what she did and slowly puts her hand on the side of his face where she hit it and it's already turning red

Becky: "I'm sorry" she says quietly "i didn't mean that, it's just..." she pauses as she tries to fight the tears as she continues "i felt so hopeless that night and I'm so dominant in the ring and i couldn't do anything against him. And then i put you in danger because of it, if he would have went an inch either way it could have been a lot worse. And what if i had caused you permanent damage or even worse what if he had killed you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if the person i love was gone"

Even in her crying she realizes what she just said and covers her mouth, wanting to take the words back but now she can't

Eric: "Did..... did you just say?...."

Becky: "Yes, alright damnit i love you. You make me laugh, you make me feel safe, you have the body of a god, your smart, you would literally die for me, you..."

Before Becky can say anything else Eric wraps Becky up in as tight of a hug as he can, holding her close to him never wanting to let go

Eric: *in a quiet reassuring voice* "I love you too Becky"

They stay in this embrace for what feels like hours before Eric breaks the hug to look her in the eyes, holding both of her arms so she can focus on him
