Michael sat in the small living room of the hotel room suite Nicole and himself had been provided. Six Feet Deep was over. He had managed to win his first match in over three months. He was defeated shortly afterwards however. It was still playing on his mind. He wasn't sure if it was luck or him winning that match. His head lifted as Nicole entered the room, his eyes becoming fixed on her as she approached.

[glow=green,2,300]Hi Michael….[/glow]
Nicole says while she tries to act as if everything is allright. But this isn’t the chase as she nearly made her own back injury worse as it was before because of the fact that she hit the StormBreaker on Kenisha Williams during their match. Of course she won that match after the move but…maybe she has lost more then this win was worth. Her back is arching…but she tries not to show it…simple because today Michael was finally able to break his losing streak with a win over nobody else as Mark Cross.

Hey Nikki. How's your back?
He asked the question as she reached him. She sat down beside him, laying her head on his shoulder as he put an arm around her. He squeezed her tightly while muting the tv, looking down at her so their eyes could meet. He smiled a little, happy that they were both successful for once. He was still worried about her back however. He knew hitting her signature move had to take a toll on her.
Feeling any better?

[glow=green,2,300]Hm….I think I need to sleep now for a few days and go for some messages as well. And then I really need to work on some new moves…most important on a new finisher..[/glow]
She looks up to Michael and grins…
[glow=green,2,300]Oh and before I forget it…a big gratz to your win. [/glow]

Yeah.....right.....my "big win."
He turned away, staring blankly at the tv. In his own mind, his win didn't prove anything. It only showed he wasn't going to lose ten matches in a row. For all he knew, the loss right after that match to Skullinator could have been the start of a longer losing streak. He wanted to be happy about his win. He just couldn't until he knew that the curse was truly broken.

[glow=green,2,300]Hey...it was a big win. You beat Mark Cross. He is one of the top guys in APW and you beat him…you should be proud of you and Mike…the lose to Skullinator you shouldn’t take so serious…you were just to tired and he was still fresh and full of energy…. [/glow]

Cross was tired when I faced him fresh. Yet, I barely beat him. What if he was fresh as well? What then? Could I have won? Losing to Skullinator for a second week in a row wasn't very fun either. For all I know, the win was a complete fluke and I had to beat a worn down man to get it.
He breathes in deeply, letting out a long sigh afterwards. He needed something to restore his confidence other than a win over an already worn down man. If he could just muster up a big win against a fresh opponent, someone top tier in the business, he could feel better again. He was just unsure if it would happen.
I don't know what to do Nikki. I can only hope that somewhere inside me I can take the win and turn it into several. Only another big win over a fresh opponent could restore my confidence. It's been shattered beyond recognition the past few months. If I didn't have you, I honestly couldn't say I would still be here.

[glow=green,2,300]Hey come on…you were not as bad you think you were. You had your first win since a few months and now you should take the energy of the win and use it to gain another win. If you keep on going like this…thinking you can only lose and if you win then you think it was a fluke win…will never bring you on the top of the food chain. You need to look confident in your future….hell you know what….I think it could be my fault as well that you lose and lose again. Before we get together you have won and won and won…and now you lose….you could see it like this as well. [/glow]

His head quickly turns to her, a surprised look on his face. His look quickly changes to a serious one as he responds.
Baby, no matter if I lossed every match for the rest of my career after we got back together, I wouldn't give you up for a single win. YOU are more important to me than anything else could ever be.
He gives her a reassuring squeeze, letting her know that every word he had said, he meant. She is the most important thing to him. Nothing could change that.
Maybe I just need something to refresh me. Something out of the ordinary to take me away from my normal routine and perhaps throw my opponents off a bit. A small change to make them think twice about the Michael Taylor they know. What do you think?

[glow=green,2,300]Hell why not...I would like to see the real Michael Taylor back. The aggressive one…that one who would step in the ring with anybody…any type of match…the Michael Taylor…that I have fallen in love with. You don’t need to change your whole character…the person who you are…you just need to be the Michael Taylor you have always been in the ring…maybe that is the missing part from you that keeps you away from winning matches.[/glow]

I don't know Nikki. I only know that something needs changed and I need to figure out what before I'm the laughing stock of APW. I'm sure I'm already close to being it.....
Another long sigh escapes him. He would do his best on Overdrive to win again. He could only hope that a few changes would help him do so. Maybe learn a few new grapple moves to help push him towards victory. His training schedule would have to increase, despite his headaches he keeps getting. He could rest in a month with the offseason arrives.

[glow=green,2,300]Nah…we have the Wolfpac or how they call themselves for the laughing part. You just need to focus on the match not on win and loses….and I think….Ouch…..[/glow]
Nicole moves forward as her back suddenly starts to hurt like hell. Looks like as if the adrenaline has finally left her body….the pain is incredibly

A concerned look immediately crosses his face upon seeing her in pain. He turns his body towards her, wrapping his other arm around her side.
You alright baby? Do you need me to take you back to the doctor? Get you some pain medicine? Anything?

[glow=green,2,300]No...no...no pills or I gonna have to kill you in a chase of riot....*giggle *….But seriously…I don’t need painkillers… hate drugs like that… [/glow]
Nicole breath in heavily and bites in her bottom lip.
[glow=green,2,300]Gonna be ok…need just some rest…[/glow]

The look of concern remains a few moments more before his lips curl up into a sly smile.
How about a hot shower? That could make us both feel a lot better.

[glow=green,2,300]No….I would rather lay down in the bath tube and relax there….but hey I got no problem to watch you take a shower while the hot water calm down my hurting back.[/glow]
A grin appears on her face as she said that.

He squeezes her a little tighter, speaking slowly and in a more cheerful and sensual tone.
Or I could join you in the bath. Just you and I laying back and relaxing in this big suite of ours. A few scented candles lit and placed around the room. Nobody around to disturb us. I could give you a massage to help make your back feel better. Sound good?

[glow=green,2,300]That doesn’t sound so bad, …..message …I like that. Oh and we can talk about an idea for an new finishing move for me as well as long as I am handicapped. What you think? Good idea?[/glow]
She grins and stands up and slowly walks over to the bath room door.
[glow=green,2,300]Get the candles and some wine and I will take care of the water.[/glow]

He grins seeing her heading for the bathroom door. Looks like this night just keeps getting better. He makes his way to the kitchen to fetch a couple of wine glasses and the wine. Think they weren't gonna relax after the show? They already planned ahead. He sat the wine glasses and the wine on the counter for a moment while he searched for the candles. Where did he put those things? He took a few moments to think it over before remembering. He walked over to the sink and opened the cabinet doors above it. A small box full of different scented candles and a box of matches lay there. With a smile on his face, he picked them up. He placed the box of candles under his arm and picked the matches up with his opposite hand. After that, he grabbed the two glasses and the bottle of wine and began making his way towards the bathroom. As he neared it, he could feel the heat from inside. He followed a small trail of clothing through the big bedroom and into the bathroom. He saw she had already stripped herself and laid down in the bath full of warm water. His smile grew seeing the site. He sat the bottle of wine and two glasses down on the side of the tub and opened the box of candles. He slowly pulled one at a time out, lighting each of them and placing them around the room. The aroma from them quickly filled the air, adding a soothing and relaxing aura to the already sensual setting. After he had lit all the candles, he slowly began removing his clothing as he made his way back over to the bathtub.

[glow=green,2,300]You know Michael....[/glow]
Nicole says as he enters the bathtub.
[glow=green,2,300]..I think I properly should take a break from the business after this season is over. Maybe I visit the rest of my family in England. You know, my aunt, uncle and their kids. Or I just fly to Hawaii and relax there a bit. What you think?[/glow]
