--CONTINUED--
[Adam stutters, searching for the words that just won't seem to come to his lips as he stares at his wife standing there, he is bewildered but yet a little excited? The camera pans around and we can see Kelly now standing there wearing a little silk nightie that leaves very little to the imagination and the reaction she gets from her husband, it can't help but make her blush.] “Ke.... Kelly...” “yeah?” “What are you doing?” “What does it look like? I've barely seen you the past two weeks and I... wanted some time with you and I figured this was the best way to get you attention.”
“Why is there some reason that you don't want this?”
“**** no... it's just... we have late and you said you were going to be hours ago when you called me.”
“I don't care about that right now, I just want you right now. I've... -sigh- just missed you ok?”
“I've missed you too... I'm sorry I've been so busy at work.”
“It's fine, it's the first month of your future, I understand you just want to do anything to make it a success. Me and Ryleigh, we can live without you for a little while, but... just promise that you won't stay gone and we'll be fine.”
[Kelly leans up on her tip toes to give her husband a kiss on the lips but Adam pulls away befuddled by what she has just said. Kelly looks surprise, not knowing why she's getting this reaction and seems a bit hurt and stutters out a response.]
“Wh... what's wrong?”
“What are you talking about? “Won't stay gone”, Kelly... what is this really about?”
[Kelly begins giggling softly and nerviously a defense mechanism she's learned over the year and Adam of course can see right through it as he rises his eyebrows telling her to spit it out already. Kelly plays with the strings on the front of her nightie that tie it together in the front while taking a deep breath and finally spits it out.]
“Well... it's funny... but Zelda sorta joked around that you might be seeing somebody on the side and I may... have freaked out, just a little.”
“Whoa wait a minute... you thought I'd do something like that?”
[Adam acts shocked at the accusation and tries hard to give Kelly his poker face, he knows he isn't cheating but still she wouldn't be happy about the truth so he pleads his innocence.]
“Adam...”
“I wouldn't... I couldn't... Kelly I love you with all my heart there is....”
“Adam...”
“What in the world would ever give you that idea, I've never...”
“ADAM! I trust you. I just lost my head a bit but... I trust you. Whatever you're doing, even if you're hiding something, I trust you no matter what. We've been together for far too long for me to lose my faith you now.”
“Thank you Kelly, but still... I promise that I would never do anything like that to you.”
“Good... now about that “quality” time.”
[Kelly grabs Adam by the front of his shirt and begins walking backwards towards the bedroom, dragging him along for the ride. They get about halfway across the living room before Adam stops her in her tracks.]
“Just so I'm sure... you do know we have an early flight tomorrow right? It's going to be a big day...”
“NCW, the match, the world title... I don't care about any of that right now Adam... all I want, is you.”
[Adam blushes slightly but because he's a big muscular man he doesn't let it show too much instead he succumbs to his wife dragging him by the collar to their bedroom and just prepare himself for a late night of... well you know, we fade to black.]
You know what is strange?
How hard I'm finding it to tear into you Kathy.
It's weird, you would think after all the times we stepped into the ring together, all the times that I've beaten you, after all the times a Knite has ruined the plans of you and your husband that I would have something to just tear you to shreds with but I just can't seem to put the words together. Not because I can't think of anything that bugs me or anything that really pisses me off about you two but more because I just don't want to say them. It's like I have this measure of respect for you now... that's... so weird.
Most people would run you through the mud and back if they had as many wins against you as I do, and wouldn't quit harping on it for the entire week but yet here I am training harder, watching video even closer, and studying even later for a match against a person that I have never lost to. I really, don't understand it. Sure part of it is probably a mutual respect where I know we've both been in NCW for very long and like I said we were doing this before there was any glory to be had in being a female wrestler in NCW, however, that couldn't possibly be the only reason. I don't fear you, and I don't think you're better than me nor do I think there is even a chance that you might be, but yet here I am working hard, not out of hate, but because I just want to and I feel like I need to.
Maybe it's because I know how much this win would mean to you, maybe it's because I know that you'll be coming even harder than every other woman on the roster, and just maybe it's because I really do understand that you're a very tough competitor. That's what has me so shell shocked right now... it's almost like I'm relating to you, like I understand everything that you're going through right now... through all our fighting, through all our battles, through everything that you and I and our husband put us and each other through.... when did you and I become so similar?
I've been there, I've fought the battles and I climbed the mountain. I know everything that you're planning in your head, I know how the butterflies are building in your stomach and I know the thoughts that race through your head as you try to sleep at night. After I won the Road to the Gold I couldn't sleep for three days just thinking about my upcoming title shot, I could barely contain the emotions and joy that were wildly building up inside of me, it was amazing and at the same time nerve racking as hell, my chance to finally achieve my dreams had finally come and now like a six year old on Christmas eve, I had to sit there and wait for morning so I could open my presents.
If you even feel just a half of that, then you have my sympathy for what I'm going to be forced to do.
I don't want to crush your dreams and destroy your aspirations, I don't want to knock you back down to earth, crashing into reality, I'd much rather face somebody like Shelly Taylor-Jones again, somebody who has been to the top, somebody who just wants their title back, somebody who's only ambition is to regain some glory, because sending them back down and proving that I'm better than they are wouldn't feel so much like I was crushing all their hopes and dreams, it'd be more like I was just stopping them from taking what was mine.
You on the other hand...
maybe it's because I've grown older and wiser.
Maybe it's because I knew what it was like to be in your shoes.
But I just don't want to take that from you.
However, that is what has to be done if I want to hold onto my dream, if I want to keep this fairy tale story of mine going, then you'll have to fall and I'll have to be the one that does it.
I just want to make something clear before it happens though.
I want you to understand that I don't want any hard feelings here, I don't want you to hate me for what happened in the past. I don't want you to dwell on what Adam and Ace went through or what I said in my column back in the day. I want you to hate me because I'm the world champion, I want you to thrive to beat me because you want this belt, I want you to despise my very existence because I'm the person standing in your way to greatness.
If you're going to hate me, I want it to be for the right reasons, I want it to be because I'm a wrestler inside that ring and you're my opponent. I know you're going to come at me with everything you have because of who I am and the record I hold against you but I just want you to understand that I won't be taking you lightly and I won't by underestimating a thing, I know that at ANY GIVEN MOMENT you could shock the world and take this belt from me...
It's my job to make sure that doesn't happen.
It's my job to make sure I walk away still the champion.
I may not enjoy beating you because of this new found respect I've gained for you...
but that belt around my waist...
I think it'll do just fine as a way to help me get over it...
Being world champion has a way of easing a lot of pains...
I'd much rather stand there with my arm raised than laying on the ground in pain from defeat, no matter what I feel about that person...
You know.. maybe I haven't changed all that much after all.
--LATER: BEFORE BREAKING AWAY--
[Adam and Kelly walk into the locker room, Adam opening the door for his wife and letting her inside first, and throw their bags into a nearby locker. Adam turns around, gives his wife a kiss, and then heads towards the door to go back out but Kelly grabs him by the back of the arm and keeps him there for a minute.]
“What's up Kel?”
“Adam...where are you going?”
“Gib texted me, said he had something he wanted to talk about in private, figured I'd go find him now. Why?”
“Adam I just wanted... Adam... this match is important and I couldn't have been here without you and...”
“-laughs- Kelly, you're stuttering?”
“It's... I... Will... will you come out there with me?”
[Adam cocks his head to the side at the sudden surprise of this request but as shocked as he is by this outburst he is also obviously very happy as a wide smile forms on his face. He nods his head yes before even replying causing Kelly to smile right back at him but he decides to be playful with his reply to tease her a bit.]
“Why would you want me there?”
“You're the entire reason I'm the champion Adam... and this match means a lot to me, I... need you there.”
“Kelly you're the reason you're the champion, it was all you, you don't need me anywhere near ringside.”
“Then how about I just want you there? I just want you to be there with me.”
“Well if that's all then... I don't know... not a good enough reason.”
[Kelly bites down on her tongue as she shakes her head back and forth smiling, obviously seeing this game for what it is and walks over to him. She leans up and gives him a quick kiss on the lips before settling back on her feet and looking up at him bright eyed.]
“It's hard for me to admit but, it means a lot to me.”
“It'll be my honor to be there... just make sure you win.”
“Well either way, my chances just improved... I love you.”
[Adam returns those three words to his wife and leans down for another kiss. We fade to black on the sight of the husband and wife team just hours before Kelly's big match and that's where this ends.]
