Alex looks ahead silently. His eyes slowly trailing down and then up and across.
"You know, I am at a point in my career where a loss doesn't hurt me."
"It doesn't hurt me because I am so well known and have been a champion everywhere I have been. World titles, company titles, mid card titles, divisional titles...even carrying worthless partners to tag team titles.
"I am a legend, a hall of famer. And while others want to step into my yard and tout their amazing careers elsewhere I stanbd here and look at this..."
Alex smirks and points to the wall, a huge display case stands there with titles from every promotion.
"In the last 12 years I have collected them by being one of the best. I have taken them of men who thought themselves to be legends. Some have gone on to be my respected opponents and rivals. Some of them faded into nothing and retired."
Alex reaches forward and picks up a replica IWF and NCW world titles and drapes them over his shoulders before turning.
"These titles are the two biggest ones. IWF and NCW. Two companies I spent my most time in. They are two of my proudest accomplishments. But truth be told I would give these and all of the others up for the Valentine Wrestling Syndicate championship."
"Because it's MY championship."
"This company is my wife's, my families. And that title will stay in the family. That title will be around MY waist. I will be the world champion and carry this entire company on my back into the light and into a new era. Do any of you think that Javen or Gabriel Ellis can do it?..or my opponent this week...Avery Miles...the third?....."
"What a joke...."
"I don't like this." My stomach was in knots. I swallowed hard and sighed. My hands clasped together as I leant forward. "This sneaking around to talk to you. I don't even know why you contacted me, or why we talk. Why I sit here, listen to your problems and offer advice like some kind of father figure or older brother." I scoff and roll my eyes sitting back in my chair as the waitress drops off our drinks. A coffee for me, a redbull for her.
She slides her fingers around it and takes a sip, her long blond hair flowing from under a hat, she reminds me so much of Ana when she had blond hair, I shake my head and sigh again. She deadpans me, a glint in her eye showing she does appreciate the position she put me in.
"She loves you ya know?" I know she knows it, I know she feels it. I just had to say it.
She stays silent though, a quiet contemplation on her face. I take a drink and slide my hands through my hair, tied back in a bun to keep it out of my way. "You're the only member of your family she actually cares about. You remind her so much of herself. I get why you keep this under wraps...but you have to tell her eventually. You have to...." She stares off into the distance, her eyes trail over everything and then she zones out.
"Eliza!"
Her head snaps back to me as she comes out of it, she gives me a small nod and finishes her drink. "I know Alex. And I know how..weird this is." Her words are sincere, I can hear it in the subtle waves in her vocal pattern and her body language."You were the only one I could go to, I don't know why....truth be told...I don't even like you."
I laugh and shake my head, I know she's semi serious, but also there is part of her that clicks with me. I feel as if she is a little sister, a sister I never had, but similar to my brother. Oh Dylan...you and Eliza would have hated one another, so similar....I snap out of it and give her a warm smile and a laugh before drinking the rest of my coffee and standing up grabbing my leather jacket to throw over.
"My advice Liz?....tell Ana. Tell her soon. You can't keep it inside, you can't keep it hidden and if she finds out and you aren't the one to tell her, it will hurt her...." I turn to walk away but then stop and look over my shoulder. "And then, she'll hurt you...and Kayla...."
"So I am faced with a conundrum this week. Normally when I am to face someone, I listen to what they have said in the past, I hear what they have to say, then I ignore it and disregard their rampant stupidity before verbally destroying them."
Alex folds his arms with a grin.
"But now I stand here with a problem. Because my opponent with week has shown me proper respect. See while Javen disrespected me by making comments about and kissing my wife and Gabriel Ellis threw an offer back in our faces, hence why I did what I did last week..."
"AM3 has shown me respect, he has talked about how good I am with a sort of reverence and understanding. And that kind of takes me off my game."
"I'm used to trash talking arrogance, I'm used to macho dick swinging, so when a man..and that's what you are Avery, a real man comes up against me and says that he respects me and wants to prove he can be better, well I stand up and take notice...."
"I take notice because...I know when I'm having my ass kissed, I know when someone is "respecting" me to avoid the vicious ass kicking and beating that I can bestow upon you..."
"And here's the kicker Avery, wins and losses mean a bit in this business, but the true actions and words are what make you who you are. I haven't "won" a match in the first two weeks of VWS, but I beat the living hell out of Javen and cracked Gabriel Ellis with a baseball bat, and all over twitter and your promo before our tag match last week you have been on your knee's begging me not to take you out to...."
Alex scoffs and steps forward, his long hair flowing down his shoulders and face.
"You have a shot against me this week Avery, you and I will get in that ring and you could make a name for yourself or you could fall and fail beneath my boot heel. Sure I know who you are, I've seen what you can do in places like NGW, but here in VWS you are an unknown. You history, your accomplishments mean nothing to me, much like mine may mean nothing to you. But what I do to eople....I hurt them, I hurt them because I can and because I am smarter than you and Javen and that overgrown dickbag Gabriel Ellis...."
"I pick my fights..."
"I choose my battles"
"And this match is a battle in a war, and it's a battle you will lose, and as you finally come to the realization that you cannot fight us, and you cannot win you will fall in line and respect Ana and myself. You will worship us as your new gods and then I will raise the VWS world championshi over my head and you will know me as one name.....CHAMPION"
