Recovery // Seth Rollins

11

A lot had changed in just one week. I got a boyfriend, and I was one step closing to becoming a nurse. The idea of getting into a relationship after one week terrified me, but there was something about Colby that didn't make me worry. I had never quite felt like this before. I had never felt the protection and safety that I do in his arms. Knowing that someone cares about me is enough to put a smile on my face everyday.

I was scared as to how quickly this might change. It's just a single snap. One snap and everything is changed. I'm hoping to spend the next few weeks not worrying about what happens when Colby goes back to America. I think that I want what is between us to last and get past the gap of the other side of the world between us. But I have no idea if Colby feels the same way. Could I just be a temporary thing? I don't think that my heart could take much more heartache. I just couldn't cope.

I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of ending up back at the busy airport where this all started. To make things easier, apparently, superstars and divas were being flown to Adelaide at different times throughout the day. I had a flight booked for early afternoon along with the boys. A lot had changed for me professionally since my relationship with Colby started. I noticed that I was been treated differently by some of the crew. Before they were very friendly, now they're rude and distant. No crew members talked to me anymore. Instead, they glare at me from across the room and whisper about me as I walk past.
It's like been in high school again. 
Colby and I hadn't 'officially' announced our relationship as such, only the photo from the aquarium. I couldn't help but worry of this would impact my final mark. If I failed this practical, I would fail my entire degree.

Colby and I walked hand in hand into the airport, Roman and Dean following behind us. There were some fans scattered though the various check ins and terminals, all with shocked expressions. We checked in, then had to wander aimlessly though the airport so dean could get kirspy kremes. We sat in our waiting lounge which was secluded from the view of people walking past.

No fans.
Thankfully.

The only other people in the lounge were other superstars and some business and first class flying passengers. Colby and I sat on the uncomfortable chairs facing each other cross legged.

"Here's your half" Colby said huskily as he broke the glazed doughnut in half. I giggled like a school girl taking the sweet treat from his hands. "Let's consider this out second date" he added, licking his fingers slowly without breaking eye contact.

"Oh this is a date is it?" I challenged, taking a bite of the doughnut. Colby and I had a playful relationship, and I loved it. I loved that I could be myself around him and I didn't half to hide anything about me. I found new parts of myself in this short week gone by just been with him.

"Well I mean, we're kind of alone, and it's unique!" He said, waving his hand in the air. "How many people can say that they've had a date eating a doughnut in a departure lounge?"

I giggled and shook my head. Colby was spontaneous and I loved it. "True" I said, finishing my doughnut.

"You know your beautiful right?" Colby whispered, brushing my hair behind my ear. I blushed and looked down. My cheeks were probably as red as a tomato right now.

"No" I whispered. It was the truth. Colby frowned and leant forward.

"By the end of this tour I will make you believe that you are beautiful" he said, leaning forward and lightly kissing me. I smiled into the kiss before I nearly jumped six feet in the air.

"Jet star flight JQ4689 to Adelaide is now boarding, please make your way to the departure gate"

I held my hand over my heart as Colby's laugh filled the lounge. "Stop laughing at me" I whined, standing up and grabbing my bag. Colby followed me, wrapping his arms around my waist.
