Hearing Rumours (For Nolee)

"I honselty have no idea. I guess because Abyss does?" Brian shrugged. "And I'd rather give up my title then have you stuck with them..." He added quielty, looking away slightly.

"Look, I can make due. Jeff Jarett won't let nothin' to bad happen to me," Nolee shrugged. "That Mr. Anderson though...he creeps me out..."

"He creeps you out? Wasn't he one of the ones who didn't come after us?" Brian asked her curiously, raising an eyebrow at her.

"The guy was rubbing my shoulders in the office when Hogan called me in," Nolee explained. "I'm thankful he didn't come after us though."

"Ugh..." Brian groaned, rolling his eyes. "What a creep. I thought he was married. But yeah, I'm glad he didn't too; he probably would've been able to catch us if he'd bothered."

Nolee thought for a minute, "Does...does what he did make you mad because he's married or...or because maybe you like me?"

"Um...." Brian said turning away, his hair falling across his face, which he hoped would cover his now red face.

Nolee looked away, "I'm sorry. It was a stupid question..."

Brian looked back at her, his face still red as he brushed his hair back from it. "No it wasn't..." He said softly.

Nolee looked at him, "It...it wasn't?"

Brian slowly shook his head. "Of course not. Why would it be?" He said quietly, a small smile on his face.

"Well, I mean, we just met and all," Nolee softly said.

"And?" Brian asked curiously, titling his head to the side.

"And I'm not that pretty," Nolee shrugged.

Brian rolled his eyes "Maybe not in your own opinion," He sighed. "But to others..." He added quietly, looking down as he blushed again.

"You....you think I'm pretty?" Nolee smiled.

Brian laughed a little. "Didn't I already tell you that?"

Nolee smiled, "But...you like me as more than a friend?"

"Uh..." Brian said, going red again as he nervously scratched the back of his neck.

"Cause...cause I like you more than a friend too..." Nolee softly said.

Brian stared at her, smiling shyly. "Really?"

Nolee nodded, "Yeah, yeah I do. I think you're great."

Brian continued looking at her in silence for a minute, slowly grinning. "That's something I don't hear often." He told her.

"Well it's true," Nolee nodded, a smile on her face.

"Says the one who doesn't believe she's pretty..." He said quietly, teasing her.
