It had been a straight line of success for The Miz over the past month, month and a half. He and AJ Styles had reconciled and quickly became the tag team champions. Miz now donned two straps, and was right back in the thick of EBWF TV. Personally things were good for Mizanin, who seemed as happy as ever to finally be back and fully restored to the limelight, after a 3 month hiatus from the ring. His relationship with Layla El, seemingly was going strong, and all roads led to a happy existence. However, just because it seems like it will be smooth sailing, doesn't eliminate the possibility of a wrong turn somewhere along the way. Which is something this couple would soon realize..
The scene opened up at a grocery store. Where we quickly picked up, Layla El in a white nike zip up that fit her perfectly, and grey yoga pants. She also wore a black nike hat with her pony tail sticking out of the side of it. Next to her was Mike Mizanin who pushed the cart. He had an American Eagle T-Shirt on and black fitted jeans.
Layla El: What else do you want, anything?
Mike didn't respond he looked as though he was in autopilot. People walking by the couple were whispering to each other, as if they recognized them, but were too shy to approach them.
Layla El: Mike!
Mike snapped out of his daze.
Mike Mizanin: What?
Layla El: I said do you want anything else?
Mike Mizanin: Oh. No, no, I'm good.. sorry I didn't hear you.
Layla nodded.
Layla El: Ok let's go then. I need to get to the gym now, or I won't go.
Mike went back into his daze as Layla gave him an inquisitive look, as if he didn't even care what she was saying. He seemed lost in his own world. The mention of the gym, seemed to spur his interest, however.
Mike Mizanin: What time are you going there?
Layla El: After we drop the groceries off, why? You want to come with me?
Mike shook his head.
Mike Mizanin: No, no I was just wondering, because I uh.. I was thinking we'd go to dinner tonight.
Layla El: Why would we go to dinner? We just got all this food to cook?
Mike gave a half hearted smile.
Mike Mizanin: Right.. sorry. That's what I meant, I wanted to cook you some dinner, so what time you think you'll be home, so I know when to start it?
Layla El: You're going to cook for me.. woww, look at you! Umm.. I'd say I'll be home in a couple hours, I really want to get after it today, haven't had a good workout in like.. forever.
Mike nodded.
Layla El: You ok, babe?
Mike got light all of a sudden.
Mike Mizanin: Yeah of course! I'm just getting focused, in my cooking zone!
Layla El: My man, the chef! I can't wait.
She kissed him on the cheek. The two reached the checkout line, and Layla began to put the items on the belt. Mike took out his IPhone and was texting while Layla was doing this. Typical dude. The scene faded out.
We pick the scene back up outside of Mizanin's LA home. The sun was starting to go down, and it was just starting to get dark, as a Pink Mini Cooper pulled into the driveway. The door opened and Layla got out. Her face was a bit shinier from the sweat she got at the gym. She closed the door behind her, and looked confused as to why her car was the only one there. She walked in the door, and called out.
Layla El: Mike? You home?
There was no response. Layla quickly took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts until it came up "<3 Mikey" She hit his name with her thumb and put the phone on speaker so that she could put her gym bag down on the chair. Ringing was heard and after 3 rings, we heard Mike. He sounded a little out of breath.
Mike Mizanin: Hello?
Layla El: Hey...where are you? I thought you were going to cook me dinner. I come home, I see no you, I see no dinner, what's a girl to do!?
She smiled, hoping he would recognize the lightness of her question. He did.
Mike Mizanin: I know, I know, I'm sorry. You inspired me, I actually went to the gym myself. I couldn't let you be the only one, up in the gym just working on your fitness!
Layla El: Ok Fergie, but why didn't you go to the gym I was at? Or just gone with me?
Mike Mizanin: You know I can't work out with all that sexy around me! I need to focus!
She smiled, and brushed her hair back behind one of her ears. A loud bang was heard in the background on Mike's phone, and a muffled what sounded like a scream followed.
Layla El: What was that?
Mike Mizanin: Uh.. just one of those guys, who feels the need to drop his free weights from his forehead, on his last rep.
Layla El: What was the scream?
Mike Mizanin: I think he scared the lady next to him, because that's what tough guys do, they scare ladies at the gym.
Lay smiled
Layla El: Oh alright, well when will you be home?
Mike Mizanin: I'll be home soon, hour tops, and then I'll cook you that dinner, I promise.
Layla El: Alright, hurry! I miss you.. and I loveee you.
Mike Mizanin: K. I will, bye.
The call beeped as Mike had ended it. Layla frowned but shrugged it off, and went to take a shower. As she walked through the kitchen, the clock caught the time it was 6:15. The scene faded out.
It faded back in to the same clock, which now read 9:15.
Layla was now in the living room in sweats, eating a small carton of Cherry Lewis Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Lights were seen through the window, and a car being parked was heard. Layla didn't move, as she heard the front door open. It was Mike, who was in a Blue Nike Crossfit shirt, and white Nike shorts.
Layla El: Hi.. that must have been one heck of a workout.
Mike Mizanin: I'm so sorry babe, I ended up seeing Ryan at the gym, haven't seen that guy in forever, we ended up grabbing a beer. I mean how many chances do I really get to see friends? I promise, I'll make it up to you.
Layla El: Why didn't you at least call to tell me that?
Mike Mizanin: I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal, or that it would take that long, you know him, guy can talk for ever.
Layla El: Why didn't you say it back?
Mike put his gym bag down next to Layla's.
Mike Mizanin: What?
Layla El: Earlier. I said I love you, and you didn't say it back.
Mike looked confused.
Mike Mizanin: I didn't?
Layla El: No you didn't.
Mike walked over to her.
Mike Mizanin: Oh I'm sorry, I thought I did.. I love you!
He kissed her on her forehead. She had a unsettled look on her face, and didn't react to the kiss.
Mike Mizanin: I'm going to go take a shower, and then we'll have some wine, and if you put away the ice cream, I'll make you that dinner.
Mike jogged up the stairs as Layla closed her ice cream carton. She walked over to the fridge and put the Ice Cream in the freezer. On the counter next to the refrigerator laid Mike's phone. She looked towards the stairs. She then heard the shower turn on. She looked at his phone again, as the scene faded to black.
You Ok?
