What If? V

"No, she's just very...protective, I guess." she said. "We're super close."

"Protective as in she'd hire a hitman if anything happened to you?" he chuckled.

"Protective as in she'd hunt the person down and kill them herself." she said.

"That's comforting."

She laughed a bit. "Well, if I tell her how great you are, then you're off the hook and in the clear."

"Please do that, I am too young to die." he chuckled.

"I will." She chuckled.

After a few hours, they ate and chatted, getting to know each other more. Ellie really had a great time and was happy that she gave Scott a chance. Unfortunately, it was time for the date to come to an end and they made it back to their apartment building. "Well, I had a really nice night tonight." She told him as they walked to her door.

(I figured we'd fast forward so we can move on to Punk/Lacy's date...plus Colt is going to see Punk when he goes back to his place in a little bit, lol. I'm going to bed lol, night!)

"I'm glad." he smiled. "I had a good time, too. We should do it again some time."

She nodded. "I'd like that."

"Very cool." he grinned. "Well.. good night."

"Good night." she nodded and since she likes to be awkward, stood there for a minute and then gave him her hand to shake, lol.

He chuckled a little and grabbed her hand, leaning in and kissing her cheek. "Good night, Ellie."

"Good night." she chuckled a bit and then unlocked her door to go back into her apartment.

Scott made sure she was safely inside and went upstairs to his apartment.

Once Ellie made it into her apartment, she heard that the tv was on and remembered that Lacy said she'd stay there to make sure everything was okay. "Lacy, I'm back." she told her.

-

When Colt would go back to his apartment, he'd find Punk on the couch, lol.

Lacy looked over at her with her mouth pursed. "I'd ask how it went but I'm pretty miffed at you."

--

Scott opened the door to his apartment and saw Punk in the living room. "Why did I give you a key again?" he rolled his eyes as he closed the door.

"Ugh, I know.' she said as she went over by her. "I'm sorry, but he wouldn't leave us alone and said he just wanted to talk to you."

-

"Cause you love me." he smirked. "So how'd it go? Getting married yet?"

"You are really too nice for your own good."

--

"It was one date." he snorted. "We're going to see each other again."

"I know, I need to stop being so nice.'' she said. "Did he say what he wanted anyway?" she asked as she took off her jacket and shoes.

-

"Ohhhhh. You guys are in love." he teased.

"I'm supposed to be going out with him tomorrow." she rolled her eyes.

--

"Whatever, you're the one that's sprung on her friend."

"Are you going to go?"

-

"I sure am." he said. "I asked her out tomorrow, but she's not feeling it. I just want her to give me a chance."

"I have no choice, he's going to bother me until I say yes."

--

"I think you're just not used to being turned down."

"Just go and see what happens." she shrugged. "Who knows, maybe he'll be completely different from what you expect."

-

"Not really, there's just something about her."

"He's a wrestler." She said, deadpan. "They're pretty much all the same."

--

"You met her one time." he snorted.

"Well, you never know." she said. "Scott doesn't seem like he's the typical wrestler." she chuckled. 'Don't turn the guy down just yet."

-

"Point being?"
