A Chink in the Armor (WWE Fan Fic)#Wattys2014

Chapter 4

I looked at my feet and realized I left my shoes in the studio. I wanted to run back and grab them. Instead, as I turned around, Colby handed them to me.

"Somehow I wasn't thinking this was gonna be a Cinderella story but at least I found you." He said.

"Thanks for bringing these back to me. They're important."

"Must not be horribly important, you left them."

"It's a long story."

"I have time."

I slid my shoes on my feet and looked up at him.

"I need to find Sara."

"Call her."

"I don't have a phone."

"Use mine."

"You have an answer for everything, don't you?"

"Yes, I do."

I dialed Sara's number. Her voice sounded light hearted but concerned.

"Where are you?" She asked,.

"Walking out to my car." I said.

"Okay. I'll contact you when I hear back. I got a message from Jim saying the interviews are done and they'll know tomorrow."

"Alright."

"Have fun with Colby." She said.

"How did you know?"

"I have my ways." was all she said. With a click, she ended the call. I walked out to the parking lot. He looked at me.

"You shouldn't be out here alone." he said.

"It isn't that late."

"It's also New York in spring. Thugs still roam these streets."

"How would you know that?"

"I just do."

I looked at him, walking. All of a sudden, my ankle buckled. I felt his arms around me, catching me.

"That's a first." he said.

"What is?"

"I never had a girl literally fall for me."

I turned red. He smirked.

"Guess I have to carry you. What happened to your leg?" He asked.

"Farm injury." I said. I couldn't tell him the truth. Not yet, and hopefully not ever.

"Yet you still dance,"

"It's one of three things I do to relieve stress." I said.

"What are the other two?"

"I won't tell you. You'll think I'm crazy."

"No, I won't think you're crazy."

"Try me."

"I crochet potholders for assisted living homes."

"That's sweet."

"The other thing is too special to me."

"If I tell you something about me, would it help?"

"It might."

He smiled at me and kissed my cheek.

"I broke up with a girlfriend about a year ago. She wanted nothing to do with wrestling and left me my dog."

"Aww, what kind of dog?"
