Author Notes: In response to Carolyn's Wrestlemania challenge *yes I am a little behind*

She watched the skylights of the city from the balcony. He had left an hour ago. Christy was so nervous. It was her first Wrestlemania so the excitement had taken over her. She did not mean to speak to him negatively. She did not mean to make his match seem less important than hers. But she did and could not make up for it. She loved him so much. She wanted him to win. She wanted Adam to prove that he deserved to be World Heavyweight Champ.

Shelton stood at the bar. He needed something to subside his nerves. He had left her upstairs. She was on edge. He couldn't blame her. They both had so much at stake. He was a little disappointment that he was not defending his Intercontinental title belt but he had an opportunity to acquire a chance to challenge for the World Heavyweight title. He understood her points of nervousness. She had to earn her way to be Women's Champion. She was ignored and just thought of as another pretty face. Shelton knew if she was going to drop the belt to Molly or Victoria it would be somewhat better. But Trish admitted that she was no longer what the crowd wanted. Shelton downed the drink and tossed a ten dollar bill on the bar. He had some unfinished business upstairs to handle.

Trish placed the blow dryer down. She had thought of going to workout but a hot shower seemed the better idea. She was worried about Shelton. They had talked so long about him being underused and discounted as potential to be in a one on one match. Trish wrapped her robe around her body and noticed their belts on the chair. Many thought she was attracted to Shelton because of his gold but they soon realized otherwise. He strived to be perfect and worked hard to be the best. When she saw him, she saw herself. She felt the butterflies when she heard the lock click.

Trish stepped out of the bathroom just as he entered the room. He looked at her and smiled. He smelt of strawberries and vanilla. He walked over to her and kissed her softly. His hand eased open one side of her robe allowing access to one of her breast. Then he freed the other. He reached and felt her outer lips. Trish's breathing became labored and her memory cloudy. She was not sure when he had undid his pants but she knew when he hoisted her into the air against the wall. He kissed her neck as he entered her. They both knew it was nervous tension they were releasing. Shelton moved her to the dresser beside them. She was his champion and would always be. He had to love her. Trish only was more than obliged knowing that tomorrow night they would be victorious.

Adam stood on the elevator. The workout had taken his mind off of things, mainly his argument with Christy. She was so high strung that it got on his nerves. He tried to ensure her she would do her best but she could not give that back to him. He did not doubt her love just her intentions. It started as a simple fling then developed into something more. He knows she has the potential to be a great champion. He has tried to build up her insecurities and not dismiss them. He was furious when she said he would have plenty of chances compared to her one. He had worked hard to get his chance. Adam shook his thoughts he did not want to argue. He entered the hotel room and realized that she had fallen asleep. He had taken his shower at the gym just in case. He slipped out of his clothes and slid into bed. Immediately she inched closer to his touch and warmth. He had hopes for a great Wrestlemania.

Trish ran water into the Jacuzzi. She was excited that she had won. She was very proud of Shelton. He gave it his best. He had made an appearance at the after party. He wanted Trish to stay and live it up but she wanted to be with him. There was no one else she wanted to be with than Shelton. He smiled as she motioned for him to join her. Even if she lost the belt she still had him. She gently kissed him and helped him ease back into the Jacuzzi. Shelton sighed as the water swirled around him. He noticed Trish as she added the salts to the water. She removed her robe and joined him. He thought they should have stayed at the after party but as Trish eased back against him, he knew this was their private party.

Christy slammed the door to the room. This was not how it was supposed to be. Yeah, she lost but still Adam was supposed to be with her. Instead he and Amy were out painting the town. Christy sighed and headed to take a shower. Apparently she was a kill buzz. She needed Adam to be there with her. As the water hit her face, she felt all the cares of the day pass away.

Adam smiled as he enjoyed the after party with Amy. He was not sure why Christy returned to the hotel. He had won and thought she would want to celebrate with him. Amy was more than willing to be his partner in crime. He wanted to check on Christy but she stormed out. He would call her later. She did not understand what he accomplished. She could not share in his accomplishments. He had faced destiny and succeed.
