Bayley's P-O-V

I lazily opened my eyes as the golden rays reflected through the window panes fell on my face. Just then, I remembered something, Isn't Baron going to leave for the tour today? I jumped out of the bed and walked to the living room where Baron sat on the couch with his coffee cup. I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the morning drowsiness and walked to him.

'Good morning!' I said clearing my voice a bit. Baron looked up. I guess he wanted to smile but blocked it midway.

'Morning Bayley.' he said. 'It's good that you're up.'

I threw him a questioning look.

'Ehm..yeah, I thought you would be leaving. So, I..ehm...thought ...' I bit my lip searching for words. I hesitated telling that I wanted to bid him 'good bye' before he leaves. Simple reason: He may find it silly.

He half chuckled at me before I could finish.

'wh..What? What's so funny?' I asked him confused.

'Nothing.' he said not answering the question and walked off to place the empty cup near the sink. As he walked back he picked the jacket from the couch and put that on totally ignoring my question.

'Baron I..' I wanted to ask him but he cut me off.

'Thanks for reminding your presence. I actually have something or ...rather ...someone for you.' he said confusing me further.

'What? Who?' I asked walking near him.

He was adjusting his boots. As I walked nearer, he straightened himself to face me.

'It's just that I felt ..' he scratched the back of his neck. '..You would need someone with you while I'll be away. So, I found you a baby-sitter.'

What? He did not say baby sitter, did he? I mean does he think I'm a baby and I need a nanny or something.

'Baron!' I called loudly annoyed. He picked his trolley and opened the door. He looked back surprised as he heard me.

I walked to him and stood with hands on my hips.

'Did you just say I'd have a babysitter?' I asked raising an eyebrow.

'I guess you heard that right.' he said and tried to open the door again. But, before he could I placed my hand on the knob blocking it.

'What are you doing?' Baron asked clenching his forehead.

'Do I look like a baby or something?' I asked trying to look as aggressive as possible.

Baron's eyes started scanning my posture for a while, making me feel a bit mousy.

'Well..you don't look like one.' he said throwing a one-sided grin. 'But can't say you aren't though.' he said with a light chuckle.

'What?' I said frowning my eyes.

'Yes and that's why I called her. She would be here any moment. Good luck.' he said tapping my arm lightly.

I sighed helplessly as Baron made his way to his car. I walked behind him. He put his stuffs in the trunk and walked to open the driver's seat.

He put on his glasses and finally gave me a smile. I returned immediately.

'Bye Baron and good luck for your matches.' I said.

'Ehm..Thanks Bayley and bye.' he said getting the glasses closed and starting the car. I watched as the car left. I must say I feel unsafe alone. Yes, I do. What if Bob comes here? I must've thanked Baron for fixing someone with me! But, I started arguing instead. Stupid me! But, I get mad every time somebody calls be immature/child/baby/kid! Ugh! I hate it.

'Excuse me!' I heard a female voice from behind. I turned to see a familiar face! It is that red headed lady and she is ......BARON'S GIRLFRIEND! But, Alas! She's late. He already went.

'Hey! Hello!' I asked with a smile.

'Hello! You must be bayley!' she said with a smile.

'Yes and you are B...' She was faster than me.

'I'm Julie.' she said extending her hands to me. I shook her hands.

'Good to see you Julie.' I said.

'Same here and did Mr. Corbin say you something?' she asked.

No, he didn't but I saw the two together several times; so, I know about them. And, which girl calls her boyfriend in such a formal way?...Mr. Corbin!!

'Ehm..no but I came to know of something.' I said adoring.

'Yes and he asked me to be with you for next five days, while he'd be gone.' Julie said.

Ow! So, Baron appointed his girlfriend to babys...Urgh! take care of me. Wow! That's quite nice of him. But, he didn't know that I would go watch Summerslam from backstage! After all, Finn was supposed to win the main event and I wanted to see him close. Aso, Baron seems to forget that I was going to make my debut on raw this week. So, that would be just two days for Julie.

'That would be just two days Julie. Come on in.' I said taking her hand and walking her to the house.

She seemed to be shocked as i held her hands, why can't I? We could be friends! Also, she was disturbed as I mentioned two days. She was doing finger maths, probably!

I brought her home and went to take the shower. It smelled of Pancakes. Wow! She is cooking for me!

**************

'So Julie, tell me how you and Baron met.' I said as we were having the soups in the living room.

'Ehm...Through Harry.' she said. Hmm...must be a common friend.

'Wow! That's cool!' I said.

She smiled hesitantly. She was beautiful and must be aged around 35/36. She had few piercings in eyebrows and nose and many scars on her face.

'How did you two meet? You and Mr. Corbin?' she asked now.

'Oh! We both work for wwe and moreover, we got close when he started training me.' I explained the details to Baron's girlfriend. But, i though she would already know! I girl who's literally staying as her boyfriend's non-paying guest!

'Oh..wow! I must say you're lucky Bayley. He seems to care for you a lot.' she said. Really! Does he?

'Well..I don't know.' I said smiling with confusing.

'No. He really does or else who pay...' she was about to say something but stopped.

'I didn't get you, what?' I questioned.

'Ehm...nothing. It's just that he seems to be softening a bit these days.' she said. Thank god he is being good to his girlfriend these days because he doesn't seem to be with me...poor me!

'Hmm..cool.' I said not trying to disappoint his girlfriend.

**************

'Okay bye...see you Julie.' I said as the cab started. Julie took another cab. Just as Baron told me last night when I called, I locked the door. He said he had the spare key with him. So, not a problem. Barclays Center, New York..Here I come. I'm coming Finn. Can't wait to see you. I took out my diary and a pen to define my feelings..

A glimpse of your sweet smile

A tune of your warm laughter

They best art I saw

The best music I heard

Can't wait to feel it

Can't wait to relish

**********************************************

Finn's P-O-V

Finally it is Summerslam! The day I have been waiting for.. I was fighting Seth Rollins for the first ever wwe Universal Championship. I have give my best and provide all my endeavors to win the match. Yes, the first ever wwe Universal Championship Finn Balor..I twitched a bit out of my thought as the cold painting brushstroke my forehead. Suddenly, the door burst open.

'Hey baby!' Cathy said with the most glamorous smile in the world.

'Hey Cathy!' I said smiling at my girlfriend. I got up from the seat motioning the make-up artists to stop for a while. 

'So, finally my girl gets some time out of her busy schedule to wish her boyfriend, huh!' I said walking near expecting a side hug. But, just as I went closer, she moved a bit away, surprising me.

'Ehm..Finn, I think we should leave that for later because you have your paints on..' she pointed to my face, '...and I have a number of presentations to do tonight. So, I don't want to get messy and ruin my make-up.' she said.

I nodded moving away. She is right. She is a dedicated journalist and she needs to look professional in her assignments. Stupid me that I went for the hug! But, I had a very little paint on and I guess I would've been careful enough too. Still..

'Fine..but can I expect a good luck, anyway?' I asked like a pleading lover. Cathy smiled chewing her lips.

'Fine..' she said and blew me her best kiss. 'Good luck Finn. Do it for me.' she said in the most seductive way. Damn! She looks so beautiful, so perfect for me.

'Thank you.' I said.

*******************

One hour later

My painting was done and I was now The Demon King. It might just seem like a character but, trust me, whenever I get this look, a certain enigmatic strength and will power runs through my nerves. I feel stronger than ever. I looked myself at the mirror. It was perfect and my match is in 45 minutes. I recalled my meet with Cathy an hour ago. She wanted me to win for her. Yes, it is not just me now, it's us. Cathy is the other part of my life and I was the same for her. She has no flaw. She's just so fine. One kiss from her and my day is delighted. The same is today. She wished me and I feel so good yet something was missing within me. I don't know what? May be the hug she declined which I was longing for! But, I should understand her professionalism too. She needs to look perfect. Funny..Why do I even need a hug? Am I that addicted? The demon within me smiled as I remembered the origin of this addiction but....

'Finn..' a loud yell from a distance belonging to a familiar voice excited my numb veins. A strange rush of blood ran through my body. Is she here? She isn't supposed to be. I turned around and there she was three feet away running towards me. A big smile in her lips.

'Bayley!' I said smiling in surprise. She is here. Wow! She had not missed wishing me luck in any of my PPV matches and she's here too. My best friend Bayley.

She rushed closer and attempted to engulf me in her big hugs.

'No..No..No..' I shouted, surprising her. 'Not this way.' I said showing her my face. I remembered what Cathy said and I don't want to mess Bayley up. She gave me a confused look but then smiled.

'Ooops! I forgot. I'm gonna ruin your make-up that way.' she said giggling innocently. That's what she thought! Ruin my make-up! Hmm.. I should have thought about that too. Does that mean, she didn't care for her own? I sighed realizing the attributes of my best friend. She is different.

'At least a hug from the distance.' she pleaded and I smiled with a nod. We embraced the air before and caught the position for a while squeezing, rythming and chuckling. Yes, we did that before too. Finally, we withdrew.

'Wow! Bay..I thought you won't come!' I said. 

She made a sad face.

'Really! C'mon Finn. You are my best friend and it's your biggest match in wwe. How can i not come?' She stated. I could just stare at her.

'Hmm..you're fine now?' I asked.

'Yes and that's the phrase you've been repeating in every message and phone cvall of yours since that day!' she mentioned. I chuckled. I was really worried for her actually and the fact that Baron's gates were closed for me made me really more anxious. But, it's great that she recovered and looks in a great shape. 'I'm good Finn and I'll be watching you win from backstage.'

'I'm glad you came Bay. I will win this for you in my best fight ever.' I could not help saying. 

She smiled. 'Good luck Finn and be careful also.' she said. I nodded.

'Okay now. I should leave you alone for the last rituals. Go get the title Finn.' Bayley said waving a little. A part of me wanted her to stay a little longer but the other actually felt completed, something I missed a while ago. I don't know but the value of Bayley in my life seems to be way more than I think.

'See ya Bay.' I said and she smiled for the last time before turning to leave.

Bayley's P-O-V

I know I'm not the most appreciated person in Finn's life now. And I hoped not to see Cathy near him while I wish him. Not that I hate her, but that would make things difficult for me. Thank god! Finn was alone and only had a security crew near him. We hugged each other from a distance and trust me, though it looked like I hugged the air, mentally I felt every inch of his body against mine. 

Finn said he would win it for me. Does he really mean that? Perhaps not..he has someone else he dedicated much of himself to. Damn! I should have stayed a bit longer but Finn needed some last hour things to manage, I guess.He needed to stretch, blend and pad himself better. As I walked on I met Sasha.

'Hey Bay...! What a surprise!' Sasha squealed as she saw me.

'Hey Saa!' I ran and pulled her to a hug. 

'Awee! I missed you so much.' she said withdrawing after a moment.

'Same here..and the boss seems to be in a great spirit after her honeymoon.' I joked and she smiled, blushing a little.

'O..stop it Bay..I lost.' she said making a sad face.

'Yes but you seemed better than ever Saa.' I said honestly.

'Really! Thanks.' she said with a smile. 'btw, you seem so fit and fresh.' Sasha commented.

'Well thanks Saa..I'm gyming a lot these days. Baron has his own in the house plus, Baron's being a great trainer, you know..' I said.

'...and I guess a great friend as well.' Sasha said and I smiled with a nod. 

'Wow! Bay I guess the sweet Bayley doesn't fear her inhuman brute these days!?' Sasha asked.

I chuckled. 'Can't say that for sure about the lone wolf.' I said and Sasha and me burst into laughter. 

We chatted some more before Sasha was called by Hunter.

I decided to visit someone else.

I don't know why..I still feel scared to knock Baron's door. I took a deep breath again and knocked the door of his locker.

The door opened and there stood Baron towering over, really surprised. But, I told him I was gonna be here.

'Hey!' I smiled. 'Won't you ask me to get in?' I asked nervously. Baron seemed startled a little.

'Ehm..yes..sure.' he said opening the door for me. As I entered, I felt him looking at me still surprised. Pretty funny!

I entered his locker and yes, it was much relaxing than the first time.

'So, what brought you here?' Baron asked folding his arms on his chest, with a raised eyebrow.

'I thought I told you I was going to be here.' I reminded. He chuckled dryly.

'What's so funny?' I asked confused.

'Nothing..just not expected you to be here.' he said surprising me. 'I thought you would be here to cheer for Finn.. and your other friends.' he said.

'..and doesn't that include you too?' I asked walking near him. A sudden change occurred in his expression.

'Friends and me...' he smirked in mock. What now? 'You don't want to call me that Bayley.' he said moving closer to me. 'Just doesn't suit my image.' he said in a low voice almost leaning to my ear. It would be wrong to say if his nearness didn't intimidate me but something inside me had a courage that held be strong against my beating heart.

'You love scaring people, don't you Baron?' I asked firmly looking in his eyes. Baron stared at me blank for a while as I took the opportunity to shift a little to my comfort.

'Yes I do Bayley, not just scare but to play with their minds, to hurt them, to see them plead for mercy. That satisfies me.' he said clenching his fists together. His teeth were gritting on an unknown anger. Did my mention of him as friend did that to him or is it his own instinct at its full. He is a brute, an inhuman brute circumscribing his loneliness. He wants to hurt everyone around him.

'You're an inhuman brute, you know that?' I couldn't help ask in my irritation. He chuckled. 

'I proud of it.' he said. There is nothing that can be done about him. I wish I brought Julie around. May be she could soften him a bit.

'Now do you want to tell me what brought you to the inhuman brute?' he asked in a plain way, not angry at all. Is he kind of relishing the name?

'Ehm..yes.. first of all Thanks for asking Julie to bear with me. She was awesome and... a nice girl.' I added trying to compliment his choice. 'And..secondly congratulations on your victory against Dolph. You were really good and it was great that you coped to the rules.' I said being really happy about how the match went smooth.

'Wow! I'm glad you liked...well..Julie and thanks for watching the pre-show matches.' he said the last part in a sarcastic manner. I always knew Baron had a problem with his current status in wwe and it's the same about tonight. I actually feel bad for him but with his brutal in-ring assaults against the scripts and 'don't give a damn' attitude in the locker room...he himself does the worst for him. But, he was there for me in my bad days and I should be there for him too. I walked nearer and took a hold of his hands nervously. I looked at his and I couls say he was surprised as well as confused.

'Yes Baron.. I watched it and you were awesome and soon you would make it big soon, trust me.' I said with a smile. Baron looked at our  hands and chuckled a bit, withdrawing the bond. What a meanie!

'Thanks.' he said and grabbed a bottle of water from the bench. 'So, you would be travelling for raw?' he asked gulping some water down his throat. 

'Yes, finally.' I said cheerfully. 'I'm so excited. They said I would have a segment with Charlotte and Dana Brookes.' I informed.

'Cool.' he said. 'Straight into the title picture.' he said satirically but I didn't mind.

'Yes and what about you? You would be travelling for smackdown tomorrow, I guess!' I asked.

'That's what I'm told.' he said. Can't he answer anything straight way?

'Good luck for that.' I said extending my hands to him. If it was someone else, I would've offered a hug but with Baron, I even doubt a handshake. But well, he shook my hands!

'Ehm..I must be leaving now. The main event would start any minute.' I said biting my lip. 

'Yeah..sure..Your friend is booked to win the match.' Baron said and I realized a certain pride within me though I'm sure that was never what Baron intended to.

'Bye.' I said and attempted to leave the room but soon I had to turn back after what I heard.

'Bye Bayley..and good luck for tomorrow.' Baron said. OMG! Can you believe it?

'Uhm..T..Thanks a lot Baron.' I said and walked out of the room, rushing to the big Tv monitor. I could already hear Seth Rollins' music hitting. I crossed my fingers as my heart sped up as the darkness got illuminated by smoking spot lights and out crawled the Demon King..I unconsciously started biting my nails. Soon, I felt a warm presence beside. I turned to see a smiling Cathy Kelley.
