[Can't Cut it?]
[April 13th, 2017]
[Ash and Gavin's Apartment]
Gavin walks out to the kitchen where Ashleigh is standing over the sink, having just finished cleaning the dishes from breakfast. Gavin slides his around around Ashleigh's waist and leans up against her body before leaning in and kissing her on the cheek.
Gavin Grimes: "Hey... Still mad at me?"
She glances over and then looks back at the dishes, suddenly scrubbing harder.
Ashleigh Grimes: "No."
He noticed her scrubbing harder and he gently placed his hand over hers that has the sponge in it.
Gavin Grimes: "Come on, let's talk, please? You know I didn't mean to insult you or call you out."
He sighs and shakes his head before grabbing the back of her shoulders and basically forcing her to turn around to face him, which she doesn't fight.
Gavin Grimes: "I don't want to fight with you. I just want us to get everything out in the open and leave it where it lies instead of letting it linger. We're in such an amazing place right now in our lives. I don't want to be the one to ruin it again because I just had to open my mouth."
She arches her brow.
Ashleigh Grimes: "You mean because you ruin it every time you get back in the ring? And when you do you ruin it, Gavin? When you mention me. So how about this?"
She leans up on her toes so she's almost in his face.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Keep my name out of your mouth when cutting promos!"
He runs his hands over his face and sighs.
Gavin Grimes: "What do you want me to say when people bring you up!? Tell me, word for word and I'll fucking say it."
She shrugs.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Just ignore it. Or say, yeah I love my wife. Don't fucking tear me down, that's not how a relationship works."
She mocks his voice.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Oh yeah, Ash isn't here cuz she couldn't hack it like I can."
Her voice returns to normal.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Get bent you fucking fuck-tard. Way to be supportive of your wife."
He gets all up in her face, clearly she set him off.
Gavin Grimes: "You know what? You've got no right to get offended while you sit here on the fucking sidelines. You say you don't need wrestling anymore? Then don't get offended when I say you can't fucking hack it compared to me! Because me? I need it. I have to compete. But you? It was just an outlet for your fucked up rage. You don't love it like I do. So you can take your butt hurt and fucking shove it."
He leans forward so that they're eye to eye and lowers the tone of his voice.
Gavin Grimes: "How's that for a fucktard for ya?"
Her hands explode into his chest, shoving him backwards and there's rage in her dark eyes.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Don't. Just fucking don't. I was big enough to step away from the business because it was better for US. Because I didn't like the person I was becoming. But you? You can't live without it so I support you and I give you one simple rule... leave me out of it. But you can't, because you're a fucking pussy who wants to goad his wife into a fight. What a great husband you've become... and you wonder why I was ever opposed to you going back to the sport you love. Go ahead Gavin, go fight Gray Malone... but don't lose, because if you do... I'll fucking laugh in your face the second you walk through the door."
Gavin Grimes: "Fuck you. I won't lose to that moron but hey, thanks for the support. As for goading you into a fight? You think this is about last year? Do you still think I want that match? Because I don't!"
He shoves her back now.
Gavin Grimes: "But don't get it twisted, you push me... I'll fucking push back."
She stands down before looking up at him, her brown eyes welling over with tears.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Yeah you will because Gavin Grimes never backs down from a fight, even for the good of his own family."
She turns around and walks through the kitchen of their new home and into the master bedroom where she slams the door shut behind her. Guilt immediately rushes over him as he chases after her to the room. He opens the door and walks into the master bedroom. She's sitting on the edge of the bed with her face buried in her hands, sobbing softly. He sighs and walks quickly over to her, he clearly hates seeing her like this. He sits down next to her and gently rubs his hand over her back.
Gavin Grimes: "Ash... Babe, I'm sorry. I took things too far again and you deserve better. I can't say that I'm going to be perfect but I'm going to try my best to do better with this. I didn't mean to upset you and especially push you back."
She looks up at him, tears streaming down her face as her hair obscures some of her hurt expression. She doesn't say a word, she just shakes her head in disgust. Finally she squeaks out a few words.
Ashleigh Grimes: "I figured you'd fall back, I just didn't think it would be so soon."
She stands to walk out of the room.
He stands up with her and places both of his hands on her arms as he peers into her eyes.
Gavin Grimes: "Hey, I slipped. I'm sorry. It won't happen again for the foreseeable future, alright? But if it does, I'll fucking own it. What just happened right now though? It won't happen again, Ash, I swear to God."
He wipes the tears from her cheeks and leans forward so his nose his touching hers as he gazes into her eyes.
Gavin Grimes: "You're my passion. My everything. My life. I'm sorry I just put my career in front of you again. You're my wife and the only thing that matters to me. I'm sorry I hurt you."
Ashleigh Grimes: "Yeah..."
She scoffs softly.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Your wife who couldn't cut it in YOUR industry. Really shows me how highly you hold me. Think about this though. Before I met you, I was destined to run roughshod over that entire industry. That was my sole purpose. All of that training. All of that hard work. I pushed it all aside so I could focus on you. I took secondary titles because of you. I went to NGW because of you and I dealt with my anxiety and traveled the world because it was what you wanted. So next time you want to think of me as soft, remember that I stepped away because of us. If you want me to show you just how hardcore I can step right back into it, say the word but don't you dare shed a tear when I push you to the back burner."
He wraps his arms around her and pulls her into him for a tight hug.
Gavin Grimes: "I'm so fucking sorry. I don't want that. I won't push you to be that. I know where your mind will go if you start wrestling again."
He sighs before leaning his forehead down onto hers.
Gavin Grimes: "I know how great you are. I've already admitted to everyone that you're better than me. You don't need to prove it because I know it."
He sighs and frowns.
Gavin Grimes: "I want you to be in a place where you'll be happy and not have to face those demons from before I met you. I love waking up to your smile everyday and I do not miss the fights like this one. I like this being a once in a six months thing.... Not lets rip each other apart three times a week."
He sighs again before grasping both of her hands in his as he gazes apologetically into her eyes.
Gavin Grimes: "I love you so fucking much and I'm sorry. I can't tell you how many times I'm sorry but I am."
She shrugs and looks up at him while wiping away tears with the back of her hand.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Doesn't really feel like it's up to me, does it?"
His heart sinks a little and he nods.
Gavin Grimes: "Yeah... I know... it's on me."
She nods and swallows hard.
Ashleigh Grimes: "I'm going out for a bit. I just need some space."
Gavin Grimes: "Come on, Ash, don't leave, please? I get so freaked out when you leave after something like this..."
His shoulders sag and his head drops as he sighs. Her shoulders sag as well.
Ashleigh Grimes: "Sure Gav, whatever. Just let me chill for a bit then. If you could go finish the dishes that'd be a big help."
He nods before leaning and giving her a quick kiss.
Gavin Grimes: "I'm on it."
He disappears off to the kitchen as Ashleigh lies back down on the bed to rest and the situation is left at that.
