Ha ha ha ha ha ha.... ok, I should explain. Did you guys happen to see SCW Climax Control? If not, you missed a quality night. You really did, I would love to splice in the video here but that's a lot of video so I'm gonna give you the link to watch the replay.

http://www.scwrestling.net/events/regresults.php

Let's be honest, you're probably not gonna go watch that, are you? Such a shame, you don't know what you're missing, but here's the long and the short of it.

About a couple of months back, there was this little press conference where a man called Jordan Williams decided to leach over my girlfriend, Odette Ryder. When the Blast From The Past tournament was announced and Odette and Jordan drew on the same side, we couldn't believe our luck. an opportunity was there for us to get inside the mind of the womanizing, egotistical self proclaimed god of professional wrestling. All we had to do was sit and wait and watch Jordan fall for Odette, make it look like he was winning and boom, take it all away from him. We did just that.

Here's the problem when you pull of something like this, not nagging doubts in your mind, but knowing you had to keep this a complete secret, people get pissed when they find out. Truth is, no one knew at all, just myself and Odette, it was important that no one else knew, not even our own stables, and well, as Twitter has told me, we're already feeling the heat.

I have to say, Roxi Johnson was never a pawn in this either. I'm sure Odette will explain her words towards Roxi, but I genuinely had fun teaming with Roxi in the Blast From The Past Tournament, and Odette and I did go in to that competition ready to win, we had plans either way, regardless of the result of the final, but Roxi was never along for the ride, it was a pleasure getting that far with Roxi.

But yeah, pissed people about not being told. I mean how could we tell people and still keep it a secret. Someone would have blabbed, Jordan would have turned this around on us and well, it wouldn't have ended well. So take your shots, be all pissy, ninety nine percent of people pissed, I couldn't care less about, Odette couldn't care less about. The only people we really care about is each other, The Seven Deadly Sins and the New XTremes. I do hope we fooled a few people on the way. I did try to drop a hint to some good people, but you know how it goes.

Explaining to all who deserve an explanation will not be the easiest thing I've ever done, but right now, I couldn't care less, no more sneaking around, no more clever camera tricks, no more stopping the film to sell Odette and I falling apart. I got my baby back, I got my Odette back. No longer do I have to be elsewhere while she's laying in out bed missing me. We sold this so well, stolen moments were mostly all we had. I slept at Synn and Despayre's place to sell my hate for the Luxor, to sell the fact Odette and I wasn't exactly meant to be talking. No more do I have to take cheap shots on Twitter or in promos, we're back where we should be.... Only thing that really was true in that whole thing is I really don't like Carrot Top, I mean the guy isn't even that funny. I wonder if I could get it in a new Luxor contract that the curly haired, unfunny guy gets the bullet....



Monday night - A stop of on the way to Canada.

Las Vegas, Nevada. Home! My Home! Fuck yeah! It's been non stop since Sunday's Climax Control. The Sins are pissed at the fact I did something Synn himself would have done years ago to get in peoples head. I used my brains over my fists, and now I think I've earned some time now, to do what I want.

See, people think it's simple, switch off, act all angry, sneak around, is it bollocks! Do you have any idea how hard it was not to be here? In our own home, I home we've built for months, a home we made our own, with our own little family. The fact is the Sins are already pissed at me, they can stay pissed for a couple more days till I hit Canada and explain it all to them. For now, it's about being back with the future missus and showing her how much I missed her. Stolen moments are never enough, stolen moments will never be enough when you love someone as much as I love her. Stolen moments will never be enough when your heart truly desires that one amazing person. Time to make up for lost time

The door swings open in the house I share with Odette Ryder. My shadow can be seen outside the door standing next to Odette. Odette grips my hand as the travel bags we brought sit at the sides of us. I pick Odette off her feet, looking in her eyes and step in to the house.

"What are you doing?" She giggles out playfully.

"Practicing." I reply

Odette takes my baseball cap off my head and puts it on her head backwards. Odette leans in to kiss me and I hold her firmly, as her lips press against mine. The sound of tiny feet on hardwood floor take Odette's attention from me and towards the hallway as two cats, Carrot and Princeton charge down the hall, quickly followed by a little toy yorkie, the latest addition to the family, Alcide. I put Odette down on her feet, who quickly kneels for her "Children". I quickly turn around, grabbing the bags from outside the door and pulling them in to the house, and shutting the door behind me, with my foot. I look down at Odette, stroking the cats and dog. A smile breaks out on my face.

You don't realize how much you miss the simple things like this, till they're no longer there. I missed this. I think as much as O liked playing bitch for a couple of weeks, nothing could steal the love out of her heart to protect what she loves. When Jordan spat that mist in my eyes that sent me to the hospital to have it checked out, the woman wore a disguise just to be there with me. Amazing love in her heart.

Odette look back at me and waves her hand towards the animals and I walk towards her, kneeling next to her and stroking the animals on the head with my left hand. Odette links her arms around my right arm and puts her head on my shoulder, looking up at me.

"They've missed you." Odette says softly in my ear.

I turn my head, kissing my gorgeous Australian girlfriend on the nose, resting my forehead on hers and looking in her eyes.

"I missed us." I reply

Odette puts her hand on the back of my neck.

"I never left, I was always here." She says "We just had to do this, this way to get it right. I never stopped thinking about you, I never stopped wanting you here. The late night messages, the tweets for you was because I wanted you to know I was here and wishing you was too."

I softly run my lips across Odette's before gently kissing her.

"I tried everything to get here more, but I had Despy clinging to me, he was worried. I had Synn fooled which never happens at all when it comes to everything in life." I say "Plus the attention this was getting from worlds past wrestling, was unreal. You had those bike teams chasing you, I got contract offers to wrestle all over the place. I got offered a show in London, a television show, the lot, because we did this so well. People thought we were done, they thought we were done with wrestling."

Odette stands up, pulling me with her.

"I am done baby." Odette says slowly "I need to refocus on some other stuff."

I run my fingers through my hair, my hand rolling down her back.

"I'll support you with whatever you want to do, but Odette Ryder makes the Bombshell division tick." I reply to her, kissing her on the head.

Odette runs her hands on my chest.

"What about you?" Odette asks "I know you and I know that look in your eyes when you was talking about leaving too, I know you was serious."

"Well, we could just run away together and to hell with the rest?" I joke.

Odette smiles

"Let's not rule that out." She says, running her finger and thumb down my jacket

I lift Odette off her feet, causing her to wrap her legs tightly around me. I move Odette to the wall, her arms wrapping tightly around my neck as she kisses me passionately, her kiss instantly deepening as her hands move to the back of my head. Our breathing get deeper as her hands find their way to the side of my head. Odette pulls my head away from her, breathing hard.

"I think I need to go fire up the hot tub." Odette says, biting her lip.

I place her down and she grabs my jacket, pulling it off my shoulders and dropping it to the floor. Odette grabs my shirt and pulls it quickly over my head before spinning me around and pressing me against the wall. Odette rolls her arms out of her jacket and drops it to the floor before quickly pulling her shirt over her head and pushes her body against mind, pressing me against the wall. I reach behind, my hand on her bra clip as she kisses me passionately on the lips. I quickly unclip her bra and pull it forward, sliding it away from her body.

"You really are a magician." Odette says with a wink.

She presses herself firmly against me, our completely naked top halves close as she kisses me again, her hand moving down my body. Odette puts her fingers in the top of my jeans before pulling away from me and moving her lips to my ear.

"Don't be too long." Odette whispers before nibbling on my ear.

Odette turns away, back to the camera...

Piss off, you really think you was gonna see my baby half naked? Only I get to see that!

... and walks away and off the camera.

"I'll be waiting baby." Odette yells out.

A wide smile on my face tells the whole story as I kick off my shoes, using my heel to pull off the opposite shoes. I look down at our animals looking at me.

"There's only one thing that could make this better kids." I quickly say.

I quickly walk through a door and turn right, in to the kitchen. I quickly open a nearby cupboard door and pull out an ice bucket, holding it to a gap in the fridge, pushing it back for ice to fall out and in to the metallic bucket. I turn to the fridge door and open it, pulling out a bottle of champagne and placing it on the nearest counter to me. I pull away the bucket and put it down on the counter, putting the champagne bottle in to the ice bucket. I reach up, opening a cupboard level with my eye and pull out two champagne flutes and pick up the bucket with my free hand and quickly walk away and out of the kitchen, towards where the indoor hot tub bath is. I shake my head and move back in the kitchen. I look on the side to see a pair of baby boots.

"Baby boots?" I saw softly "Think me and O need a little chat... later"

I leave the kitchen again and head towards the room where Odette is waiting. I lean on the door, pushing it open to see Odette standing waiting for me, the water running in to the tub. Odette turns around, just wearing a towel down her amazing body. She moves towards me, taking the bucket out of my hand and placing it on the side of the tub, then taking the glasses out of my hand, placing them next to the bucket. Odette turns back to me and puts her hand on my shoulder.

"You've got way too many clothes on." Odette says, biting her lip.

Odette moves her hand down my body to the top of my jeans, quickly popping open my button, the sound of denim hitting the floor, my hand moves up Odette. My hands grip around the white fluffy towel and pull it apart, dropping it to the floor. The camera moves behind me, showing my back, regardless of the fact that a very naked Odette stands before me. Odette pulls me close with one hand, her hand moving down my body. Odette bites her lip as I breath deep,moving my hands down her body. Odette's eye widen as she reaches in, her arm around my neck and kisses me firmly and passionately, breathing faster as the passion builds. Odette pulls her head away, turning around, the camera still places firmly on my back. I reach around Odette wrapping my arms around her and kissing her neck. Odette pushes her head back as my hand moves up her body. Odette half turns around and takes me by the hand, stepping over the side of the tub. My back covers Odette's naked body from view as she steps in to the hot tub. Odette pulls me by the wrist and I step over the side of the hot tub, as Odette slides under the water. I quickly join her, by back against the tub. Odette slides next to me, just her shoulders and upwards poke out the water. Odette moves to the side of me, my arm moving around her shoulder, but she slides her legs across mine and my hand moves under the water to her knee. I reach over, picking the champagne bottle from the ice bucket. Odette moves her hand up my arm and pulling away the foil at the top of the bottle and discarding it. She leans in close to me, kissing me on the cheek as she pops the cork from the bottle. Odette takes the bottle from my hand and I use my free hand to grab the glasses by the stems and hold them in front of her. She pours the cold liquid in to the glasses, filling both to the top. Odette turns and places the bottle on the side of the tub and turns back to me, taking one of the glasses from between my fingers. Odette looks in to my eyes, holding up her glass.

"To the future?" Odette asks

"To our future, and to our family getting bigger." I reply.

Odette tweeted a little earlier about our family growing. I found the secret room, the nest she's been building in case. I know she's not right now, but this woman who's looking in my eyes at this moment in time is the woman I will grow old with. This is the woman I want to watch out children grow up with. Maybe it's time to tell Odette I know about the room.

Odette and I ching the glasses together and take a sip of the bubbling liquid. Odette moves herself closer to me, a smile on her face.

Maybe I'll talk to her later about it. I don't want this too heavy, I just wanna enjoy every second I get with this amazing woman.

Odette's eyes widen.

"Baby..." she says in a soft, seductive voice.

Odette kisses me on my neck.

"I missed being with you." Odette says "I was always hoping that you was going to just surprise me and show up here. It's been lonely without you."

I kiss Odette on the forehead.

"I've missed being here. I tried, but cameras everywhere." I say sadly "I tried to sneak away from the Sins, but I think they were truly worried about me."

"This is gonna be hard to explain to them." Odette replies with a frown on her face.

"I don't think Synn, Rage, Shane or Fantasia will be an issue." I start "Synn will be proud of this one, this is right out of his playbook. This is something Synn would have pulled a while ago."

"Would never have be able to tell by his tweets." Odette says, her head moving back to my shoulder.

"He's thinking of Despy." I start "I lied to his son, made him believe I was hitting the bottom. Despy is my little brother, and I lied to him. This is why Synn isn't seeing that I did what he would have done."

"We need to sit him down and explain this to him." Odette says with a sigh, but I quickly run my hand up her face.

"Don't you worry that gorgeous head about it." I say softly "I will be right by your side when you explain this."

Odette's mouth opens wide, trying to play shocked, but a smile is visibly seen. Odette playfully hits me on the chest.

"Just for that, you can take your hand away from where it was!" Odette says, trying to be serious.

"That would only be bad for you." I reply with a wink.

"Ok, I'll take away my hand from where it was heading." Odette replies to me with a serious nod.

"That only hurts us both." I quickly say.

Odette hits me on the chest again, but smiles and puts her head back on my shoulder. I wrap my arm around her again, and hold her hand with my other hand.

"We'll explain all." I start "And then we'll get on with our lives. We decide our future, we work out where we want to go."

"We can go anywhere?" Odette asks.

"Anywhere baby." I tell her. "Not a place in the world we can't go, not a thing in the world we can't do."

Odette spins around, straddling my lap, keeping her upper body under the water. My hands move down her back.

"I love you." Odette says, looking deep in to my eyes.

"I love you too baby." I reply.

Odette's hands move down my body, looking me in the eyes. A smile crosses my face as Odette's eyes widen as she sharply inhales. Odette moves in fast to me, kissing me passionately, while her nails dig in to my shoulders. Odette leans backwards as the camera steams up.

Believe me when I tell you all that this scene could have gone on a lot longer, but I get the feeling in a few minutes, this would stop being a promo and start becoming porn. Pretty sure that won't impress the NWA big wigs, but let me tell you, if I could get away with showing what happened after the camera steamed up. I missed my Odette and I swear to god, I will never spend a night away from this woman again.



Wednesday morning - Oh Canada.

Yeah, I'm not telling you about yesterday, would have to rate this promo a damn sight more than suitable for all audiences.

Outside an airport in Vancouver, Odette Ryder stands looking at the cars going past. I quickly shuffle up next to her, looking at my Aussie bombshell wearing a fur lined and trimmed coat. I smile across as the fur circles her face.

"There's my sexy little Eskimo." I say with a smile

Odette wraps her arms around me.

"I'm freezing baby." Odette says "Can we go to the hotel and get somewhere warm?"

"Soon baby." I tell Odette, holding her close. "But I think we need to go explain some things, I gotta go meet ACW fans and while we're here, I think we should do something that you're gonna remember."

Odette moves closer

"Get me to a warm hotel and I'll give you something you'll remember." She says.

A wide smiles crosses my face

"Later baby." I tell her, but I got a surprise for you.

Odette looks at me curiously.



Wednesday Afternoon - Oh whale!

"Where are we?" Odette's Australian accent asks

"Steveston." I reply quickly.

Looking out at the beautiful ocean view, my eyes dart around the crystal blue water in front of me. I look down at the shorter and more confused Odette Ryder, still dressed up as if this was the antarctic. Odette looks back at me, meeting my stare.

"Why are we here?" She asks curiously

I point out at the ocean.

"That." I quickly say.

Odette looks at the water and back up at me.

"You're not gonna mess with sharks again are you?" She asks with a raised eyebrow "I'm still pissed at you for that."

I shake my head, instantly dispelling Odette's fears.

"No sharks out there baby." I tell Odette "Too cold for them out here."

"So want to explain or shall I try mind reading?" Odette asks.

I put my forehead against hers and smiles.

"Go on then." I say with a grin.

Odette pushes me away a little.

"Smart arse!" Odette says with a turn of her head.

"I am. I'd much rather be a smart arse than a dumb arse." I fire back.

Odette slowly shakes her head.

"Well...?" She says.

I point to the water again.

A little while later, aboard a red boat, surrounded by other people in life jackets, Odette snuggled up close to me as the water splashes up.

"Baby....cold..." Odette says in my ear, over the roar of the engine.

I wrap my arms around her, holding her as close to me as possible.

"It will all be worth it soon." I say in her ear

"Why are we here?" Odette asks

"Well, my animal loving sweetheart." I lead with "That's one of the reasons."

I point to the side of the boat as a sea lion pops it's head out of the water.

"Awwww" Odette says with a smile.

Odette reaches in to her pocket, pulling out her camera and leaning over the side of the boat, I quickly put my arms around her waist. Odette snaps a little shot of the sea lion before it ducks out of view. Odette turns her head.

"Near, far, wherever you are" Odette sings back at me.

"I hope there's no icebergs around here." I say quickly.

Odette and I take our seats and I put my hand over hers, running my thumb over her wedding finger. Odette's eyes scan the ocean looking for other signs of nature. I smile widely as I look at the excitement on her face. Two bald eagles fly over head,

"If you look above, you will see two bald eagles." A tannoy says "A little known fact, bald eagles mate for life."

A smile crosses my face as I look at Odette.

"Wanna be my bald eagle?" I ask her

Odette leans in and nods, kissing me softly on the lips, her eyes smiling at me.

"Always." Odette says as she pulls away from the kiss.

Odette snuggles in to me, but quickly pulls out her camera again as a seal bounces along the side of the boat. Odette quickly takes a snap shot.

"Can we get one?" Odette asks excitedly.

"Sweetheart, our little zoo is already growing by the day." I tell her "I still don't think those ducklings followed you home the other day."

Odette smiles

"Oh they did." Odette says, trying to put on her best serious face.

I wrap my arms around her and squeeze her.

"No deal, no seal" I say.

Odette pokes her lower lips out at me, but I put my arm around her and kisses her on the pouting lip and hold her close.

Now's a good a time as any to tell her what I found on Monday

I put my head close to Odette's ear.

"Baby, we need to talk" I quickly say.

Odette turns her head.

"About what?" She asks

"I found something interesting in the house on Monday." I tell her.

Odette turns pale.

"Oh?" She says, slightly nervous.

"A pair of boots that wouldn't even fit the dog or cats." I reply

"Erm.."

"Whales!" The voice over the tannoy says loudly.

Odette turns around excited, her camera in her hand, to see three hump back whales partly out of the water. Odette jumps up in excitement, pulling me to my feet and looking out towards these huge creature. Odette snaps pictures of them.

Yes, she is likely to put them on Twitter. I wonder if I could do a stunt where a whale will eat me.... Nah, she'd never let me go for that. Rage would love it though

Odette turns around, jumping up and down and wrapping her arms around my neck and holding me tight.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Odette says excitedly

Odette pulls her head away and a tear runs down her cheek.

"Are you crying?" I ask.

"I've always wanted to see hump back whales." she says wiping her cheek "And you made that dream come true."

Odette squeezes me tightly.

"Life is almost perfect." Odette whispers.

The camera moves round to show Odette rubbing her wedding finger as the scene fades out



Wednesday night - ACW! Are you ready to roooooooock!?

ACW Fanfest. It doesn't happen too often but this show demands a fanfest. The finals of the Super J Cup as well as a huge NWA Tag Title defense on the show. I watch the fans from a set up stage, holding Odette's hand as we watch ACW star talking to fans, from behind the curtain, when a familiar voice catches my attention.

"Oi, oi you cheeky bastard, welcome to Canada." ACW star Ben Jordan is heard saying

I turn around, shaking the Cockney King's hand. Ben looks at Odette.

"Alright Dundee blue." Ben says with a smile "Or NXT mate!"

"Hey!" Odette says "I heard what you said he should do to Dundee Blue."

"You're lucky I said that and not what I was thinking!" Ben replies quickly. "Didn't know you was gonna be here people, I would have baked a cake or some bollocks."

"Wasn't meant to be, but they decided to get a promo outta me." I reply.

"Where's that funny little fella who thinks all Brits are part of imaginations?" Ben asks.

"He's Canadian, hasn't been here in a long time, so spending time with his family." I quickly reply.

"Gotcha son." Ben starts "When are you up on that stage?"

"When they hit the music." Gabriel says

"Got that NWA title belt?" Ben asks "They love that stuff at these things."

I quickly open my jacket, to show the NWA Tag team title belt wrapped around my body.

"Where's your belts Ben?" Odette asks

Ben taps his shoulder, then his waist.

"Bollocks." Ben says "Must have left them in the bar. I should..."

Gabriel gives Ben a thumbs up.

"Bar when ya done?" Ben asks.

"I'll see ya there." I reply quick.

"Good luck son" Ben say, hitting me on the shoulder.

"Thanks." I reply.

Ben wanders off and I turn to Odette. Odette puts her hands on my shoulder. "Come as you are" starts to play from the other side of the curtain and I take a deep breath. Hearing the gasps and cheers from the other side.

"Good luck baby." Odette says, kissing me on the cheek.

"Thanks sexy." I reply, I will be back.

"Relax" Odette advises "Go and be relaxed out there."

I nod and walk through the black curtain, looking out at the sea of faces staring back and cheering me. I put my hands out to the side of me and look out at the faces. I brush my fingers down the NWA Tag Team Title. Looking towards the side, I see a man with a microphone, holding his hand out towards me. I take the microphone in my fingers and look out again. The music dies down and I speak.

<img src=http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/odetteryder/tumblr_mivh95EJJh1ru2srdo2_250_zps5d76950e.jpg>

"How we doing ACW fans?"

The crowd cheer

"I'm actually pretty excited to be here today, I haven't had a chance to wrestle for ACW in the past but on the thirty first, I get a chance to actually do just that. As you know, I'm and SCW guy and I know there's a lot of links between ACW and SCW, so hopefully, this isn't the last time I get to come to Canada and wrestle for you all."

I pause for just a second.

"It's all about this baby here when I step in to that ACW ring for the first time."

I point at the NWA title belt

"It's all about keeping this gold and knowing I was coming to ACW and knowing I was gonna put on the greatest tag team match the NWA has ever seen, I started looking down the list of possible opponents I could find myself opposite the ring with. I saw the tag team turmoil and I saw some talent in that ring, giving it all for something I've made a living out of, something that is a dying breed, tag team wrestling. I sat there thinking if Despayre and I could get past The Canadian Connection, who could be sitting waiting for us, and I got a little excited, dreaming of a match with ACW superstars, and current ACW tag team champions, Ben Jordan and Mickey Carroll, no doubt the best team in ACW."

The fans cheer at the mention of Ben and Mickey.

"Ben and Mickey Vs Despayre and I, it's got cross promotional dream match written all over, it's got money maker all over it. Could you imagine my disappointment when I looked at Synn's face and he said, you're not facing Ben and Mickey. Could you imagine the look on my face when he threw that disappointing news at me, only to follow it up with 'you're facing Unholy Trinity.' My reaction is the same reaction as I have for you all right now. Why reaction was simply 'who?'"

I start to pace up and down the stage.

"Seriously, who? Synn expected Ben and Mickey, Despayre expected Ben and Mickey, SCW expected Ben and Mickey, ACW expected Ben and Mickey, but we get these guys. They can spout some excuse about Ben being on the show twice potentially, but the man is a warrior who wouldn't back down from a challenge, but I had to turn my head, had to refocus, had to look this Unholy Trinity, so I searched in youtube 'Unholy Trintiy's greatest matches' and you know what I found? Nothing, not a damn thing. So I spoke to Ben the other week in London, and he looked at me slightly blank, with a shrug and simply said 'I think me and Mickey beat them to win the tag titles, I don't have a scooby doo mate, they did nothing I can remember in there' and that's when it hit me that ACW simply don't care about these tag titles. A roster full of talent and you send two hacks up to take penalties, you sent two losers up there to stand up to us."

I shrug my shoulders, slowly shaking my head.

"Angelus Dante Ambrosi and Whitman Trent Frost, you two are the next to step up for these titles. Congratulations on being living proof that you don't have to win a match in you respective federation, to get a shot at NWA titles. You don't have to do a whole lot to get ranked by the looks of things, but here's the harsh reality for you boys. You wouldn't even be good enough for one of the smaller SCW titles, you would be lucky to be accepted on to the roster. What you are involved in, is one of the greatest mismatches in the history of mismatches. This is the biggest mismatch ever known to man, because you two fellas are not up to the standard of SCW, you're not up to the standard of NWA, you're simply not at the right level to take on Sinful Obsession."

I flick my hair back and look out at the people.

"I'm disappointed for me, I'm disappointed for the NWA, I'm disappointed for these fans. They know it might be a while before we end up in this neck of the woods again and it feels like the powers that be, are screwing the fans out of a good solid match, which could go either way. The excitement has already gone for them. They already know we're coming here to win. They already know there's no way in hell we're coming here to mess this one up. These people here are wrestling fans, we as wrestlers always try to surprise them or put on the best damn show we can, they know that Unholy Trinity are not good enough to hold these titles, they're not good enough to win their own federation titles, they're just awful, God awful"

I pause once more.

"These people know that Unholy Trinity have done nothing to earn this shot, they know they haven't picked up an ACW win, they know that they have no business here. Did you read what got said on the latest rankings? I quote this one too 'According to the fans, there isn’t a team in the world that can compete with Sinful Obsession'. You guys said that, and I thank you for it."

The crowd clap at my recognition to them.

"You put us on top of the pyramid because we are head and shoulders above the rest, you put us on top of the NWA because there's not a team that can come out and beat us, YOU put us there because we deserved it. It proves how smart you are, and it proves that you know come hell or high water, these title belts are going nowhere fast. Sinful Obsession are where we are for holding the SCW tag titles for the longest possible time, record breaking time, we're top of the NWA because we work harder than any team possible. Ambrosi and Frost are out of their depth, they're falling forever with nothing to reach out for, they have no chance of survival in this one. You can't survive this."

I take the title belt from around my waist and lift it up, putting it over my shoulder and looking at it.

"This is why I come to work, this is why I travel and hit the far regions of the alliance, this is why people look at me and know I'm one of the best superstars they have to offer. When I show up, it causes a storm, anything I do lately causes a storm, but it goes to show how invested I am in bringing this title belt back to the top of the NWA, how determined I am to be a part of SCW history when we take all the NWA gold. Spike Staggs is showing that he can keep that title in SCW, Sinful Obsession are showing we can keep the tag titles in SCW and we will not lose to a bunch of amatuers like this Unholy Trinity, we will not let our standards slip so far that we will put our titles in danger."

The crowd cheer once more.

"In SCW, we win an NWA title, people congratulate us, shower us with respect. SCW comes as a force and with that power, against lower ranked teams such as Unholy Trinity, we can not fail to win. I know ACW fans would love to have the titles in their ranks but I think ACW fans also see this as a match that will not see the titles appear there. ACW fans know that the titles are staying with SCW and that they will remain there for the long term future."

I pace up and down the stage once again.

"This feels like this team have simply been picked out of a hat, just randomly drawn and hopes pinned on them by the staff, but the sad turn of events is that this is gonna turn in to a slaughter, this is gonna be one of the most one sided matches in the history of the NWA and god knows there's been enough of them. I've seen fear, I've walked in fears shadow and I've looked it in the eyes and I did not walk away, this match doesn't fill me with that fear, this match fills me with confidence, with the overwelming feeling of success, because no matter which way you choose to look at it, no matter what color you choose to paint it, no matter how many angles you want to cast your eye over this one, the fact of the matter is this. The titles are on their way back to South America for the SCW tour with Despayre and I, then back to Vegas. We will not stop fighting, we will fight till the breath leaves our body and we will not give in or give up on anything we believe in. We believe in these titles, we believe we can hold them for eternity if we want to."

A more determined look crosses my face.

"No matter who gets thrown at us, we will knock them down, no matter who stands up and challenges us, we will be unstoppable. We will always work hard and go against the best to prove ourselves, and on ACW eleven, we will prove that Unholy Trinity do not deserve to be in this one, we will stand up and prove that they do not deserve to be in this fight, we will prove that they are not now, nor will they ever be good enough to stand up to what's in front of them."

A smile creeps across my face.

"It's simply how it is and it's simply the way it will happen. We will be leaving Canada as champions..."

I move my head closer to the crowd, a smile crossing my face.

"Believe that!"

Come As You Are starts to play again and I raise my hand to the crowd, looking around at the happy, cheering faces that stand before me. I lift the NWA tag title above my head before walking towards the black curtain, handing the microphone to the man standing next to the gap, before moving through it. Odette greets me with a warm smile, and a firm hug.

"You did great baby." Odette tells me

"Thanks sweetheart." I reply, lifting her off her feet and spinning her one hundred and eighty degrees.

"You have this one in the bag." Odette says confidently.

"Yeah, I'm pretty confident." I reply "It's not like those guys have a whole lot to offer."

"So, what's next?" Odette asks "Back to the hotel?"

I slowly shake my head.

"Nope." I start "It's time we went to explain ourselves."

Odette's face turns to a frown.

"Can we do that tomorrow?" Odette asks softly. "Right now, I really don't know how to handle it. Synn still scares me."

I stroke Odette's face with the back of my hand.

"Honestly, I'm a little nervous about it too." I reply "First thing tomorrow though, we have to do this. We'll give Despy more time around his family, before we do this. There's no knowing how he's gonna react to this."

"Maybe we shouldn't have done this." Odette says, burying her head in to my chest.

"We knew this would happened, we took the chance." I reply. "Rage isn't pissed, we saw his SCW promo, he's happy because he knows what kind of man Jordan Williams is. Shane knows too, Synn knows. All I have to try and settle things with Despy."

Odette sighs.

"Ok." she says softly "Well go see them tomorrow."

I kiss Odette on the forehead.

"First thing." I reply.

Odette nods as the scene fades out



Thursday morning - Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

As a guy, it's hard to admit to someone you're wrong, every man knows the feeling, where you just have to bite the bullet, look in someones eyes and say that they misjudged a situation. The relationship side of my life, I've always tried to keep things level, I've conned a lot of people in my life, but never women I was fond of, or close with. I've always been up front, and honest and never tried to be something I'm not. If people don't like me for who I am, then I don't care really. I've never conned family but my SCW exploits of late, I did con family, I made my family, the Seven Deadly Sins believe I was something I wasn't. It's time to bite the bullet now and explain to Synn and Despayre why I did this. Rage got a complete kick out of it. I bet the shiny headed guy didn't think I had it in me, but I did. I think Synn deep down is proud I was more like him, but Despayre, I know he's confused, so it's time to explain that one to my little brother. The same little brother I convinced that Odette was bad to, that she was running off with Jordan Williams. Ok, let's do it.

Sitting looking at the house owned by Despayre's mother, Margaret Young. Odette grips my hand firmly, the nerves running through my body.

The romance hadn't disappeared, but right now, it needed to be put on hold. This morning, I woke up with Odette already awake, her eyes pinned on me. I could tell she hadn't slept too well, I know this day was playing on her mind. We fooled the world, and it was time to get the backlash from that. I know when Odette has to face NXT, she will have to explain. She'll have to tell Spike why she acted like her head was out of the game, but that didn't scare her as much as what she had to go through today. Odette was fond of Despayre, and when she got with me, she never once tried to pull me away from him or the Sins, she knew they were my family. She did everything she could to fit in with them and become accepted and for the most part, she was accepted. It wasn't an uncommon thing for Odette to brighten up the Sins dressing room with a warm smile. Even Synn, who is very selective of his friends, had accepted her. If she was to ever leave NXT, Synn wouldn't take much convincing to bring her in to our little family. He respects Odette and has tried to stop her leaving SCW, but that doesn't stop her from being worried about what's about to happen. In her mind, she feels like she's disappointed people close, people who made her feel welcome. I'll take the nerves from her and deal with this, I'll be the ever loving boyfriend that takes this one on the chin.

"We can't just stand out here staring at the door." I tell Odette.

Odette doesn't say a word, just grips her fingers tightly around mine.

"It will be ok." I reassure "I'll make them see we meant no malice towards them, that we did this to teach them a lesson."

Odette looks at me, her eyes sad and nervous, but I put my free arm around her, holding her against me.

"I promise, we'll sort this, we'll head to Columbia, and ruin another hotel bed." I say with a wink.

My lame joke seems to have cut the tension, forcing a smile across Odette's lips.

Synn is a scary man, but also understanding.

I take Odette by the hand and lead her to the front door, my hand balled in a fist above the wooden door. I quickly take a deep breath and knock on the door. Odette instantly throws her arms around me, squeezing me tight as footsteps are heard behind the door. Margaret opens the door and smiles at me.

"Gabriel! Odette!" Margaret says excitedly "Come on in."

"Hi Margaret." I say, happy to see Despayre's mother.

Odette and I step through the door, Margaret shuts the door behind us.

"I shoud probably give you both fair warning." Margaret starts, her voice whispering "Joshua doesn't quite understand what you two did. He's been very confused for days."

"That's why we're here." I start "We need to explain to him why we did this."

Margaret nods her head.

"Joshua and Synn are in the kitchen." Margaret tells me. "And good luck."

Margaret points to the kitchen door and Odette and I take deep breaths. I lead on and walk towards the door. As I poke my head around the door, I see Despayre sitting at a table next to Synn, with Angel sitting on the table. Despayre glances up, seeing me.

"Gabriel!" He yells, jumping up and almost kicking the chair over.

Synn reaches down, catching the chair as Despayre charges around the table towards me, wrapping his arms around me and choking me. He looks beyond me and quickly lets go as he sees Odette.

"Booooooooo" He says "Hisssssssss"

Despayre backs away and around the table to next to Synn as Odette and I walk in the kitchen.

"Despy." I start "We're here to explain everything, there's no need to be like that."

Synn looks up at his son.

"Take a seat Joshua." Synn says to Despayre. "I'm as interested as you are to hear this explaination."

Synn points to two seats in front of him and Despayre takes a seat next to Synn, putting his fingers around Angel. I quickly sit with Odette next to me. Odette holds my hand under the table, squeezing my fingers tight.

"This should be interesting." Synn says, putting his hands together and lacing his fingers.

"Well it's like this." I start. "Jordan Williams needed to be taken down a peg or two. He's spent his life leaching over innocent women while married. He is a well known womanizer with zero respect for women. I had to do something."

"So you lied to me?" Despayre says firmly

"No, well, not exactly." I fumble out "We couldn't tell you, we couldn't tell anyone. We couldn't afford to let people know in case it slipped out."

"You could have told Angel." Despayre says, lifting his stuff bear off the table.

"Are you kidding?" I reply "If I would have told that bear, the whole world would have known in twenty minutes."

Despayre turns Angel around, as if he's listening to the bear.

"You have no defense Angel." Despayre says with a tilted head "You are a bit of a blabbermouth."

"For this to work, we needed things to stay low key." I continue to explain.

"You still lied to me!" Despayre says, his voice getting louder "You could have told me, but you made me think she was hurting you Gabriel. You made us all think she was being mean, and using you. You want to leave because of her. Synn told me! You made me think bad things."

He reminds me of someone here....

"Joshua, calm down." Synn says slowly.

"It's not fair! Because of her, Gabriel is gonna leave." Despayre says shaking his head.

"Despy." I quickly say "It was never Odette's fault, it was mine, it was me from the start. I came up with this to teach Jordan a lesson, Odette had nothing to do with it."

Odette squeezes my hand and fires me a look.

"Baby." She says slowly "You don't have to cover for me."

I lower my eyebrows, looking towards Odette.

"Joshua." Odette starts "Please don’t be upset with Gabriel, this was my wrong doing… this was my idea."

"Sweetheart...." I whisper to Odette, but Odette ignores me.

"You have no reason what so ever to be upset about the way you spoke to me or the way you defended Gabriel… " Odette says seriously. "I deserved that and even more because I know how much he means to you, I know how much you love to protect him. Joshua please don’t be mad, I know that’s tall ask… but know that we never ever wanted to hurt you. we just couldn’t tell you, not because we didn’t want to tell you because I cross my heart and hope to die god honest truth wanted to tell you, Gabriel wanted to tell you…"

Despayre looks at Odette firmly.

"As much as I find it commendable that you two are covering for each other here." Despayre says, with a strange air of authority.

I look at Synn, who looks slightly confused, as do I, but both of us thinking the same.

Jesus, he sounds like...

...Me....

Synn, is that you in my head?

Oh, um, hi, always wondered what it was like in your head Gabriel.

Get out Synn, I do the whole thoughts slash narration thing. Out!

You sure I can't look around for a minute.

Out!

Ok! Ok!

"The fact is you lied to me." Despayre says firmly, still sounding like you know who. "And that is not easily forgiven. Lying is wrong, no matter what."

"Despy." I start. "I know it was wrong, but I did it for a good reason. I love Odette, she never stopped being my girlfriend"

Despayre puts his fingers together, lacing them ala Synn.

"But she did." Despayre says bowing his head slighty. "She said about not having to answer to no one on Twitter, she went on a date with Jordan Williams, it was on television. No woman dates another man, unless in her mind, she was single."

"Joshua, it was all for show." Odette tries to explain.

"No, Odette" Despayre says slightly darkly "I know Gabriel well and while you think he was all ok with it, I know it hurt him and people should not hurt Gabriel! You acted single Odette in every sense of the word, so yes, you stopped being his girlfriend, and you know what that means?"

Odette and I look at each other, Odette grabbing my hand firmly.

"No." I say slowly. "It's not happening again!"

I stand up, shaking my head.

"SIT DOWN!" Despayre yells out.

My eyes fire directly at Synn, who is taken back by this.

Synn, you still in my head?

Um, no.

Liar! Is it me or is he sounding like...

Yes Gabriel, he is.

Proud poppa much?

Very!

I sit down slowly and look at Despayre.

"If you want me to think you will never hurt my brother again, then you need to pass the girlfriend test again. Not only that one, you need to pass a pop quiz too, based on Gabriel." Despayre says firmly "And a urine test again. Until you pass the test, there will be rules."

"What?!?!" I say shocked.

Synn leans back in his chair with a proud smile on his face.

"Angel and I will work on the rules." Despayre starts "But without this Gabriel, I will never forgive Odette."

I look at Odette

"You don't have to do this." I tell Odette

Odette looks at Despayre, directly in the eye.

"Whatever it takes, Joshua." Odette says firmly. "I'll do whatever it takes to show you that I won't hurt Gabriel and that I love him."

A child like smile crosses Despayre's face, as if instantly switching back to normal.

"Yay!" Despayre says, jumping up and picking Angel up "Come on Angel, we got some rules to write!"

Despayre charges out of the kitchen, leaving Odette and Gabriel staring at Synn.

"Was it me, or did he turn in to you?" I ask Synn.

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree Gabriel" Synn says "Now, head in the game, Sinful Obsession has titles to defend."

The scene fades to black as Synn and Gabriel discuss the upcoming ACW match
