It was 5 AM Monday morning. Brianna had received a phone call from Stephanie. Her boss told her that she was going to be in a new storyline with Jon. Curious as to why they suddenly put her in a storyline she asked Steph what was up and Steph replied with "It's what's best for business. I'll see you in my office before Raw starts. " Ms. McMahon hung up the phone and left Brianna a bit confused. The chestnut haired beauty rolled out of bed and went over to her suitcase. She pulled out some clean clothes and laid them on her bed. Once she had her clothes picked out she headed down to the gym.
Still dressed in a tank top and shorts Brianna took the elevator down to the gym. She soon arrived on the floor where the gym was located, The metal elevator doors opened and she stepped out. Opening the glass door to the gym a small smile formed on her face as she walked inside. The better Bella looked around to see if anyone else was in the gym with her. Seeing that no one was there with her she let a soft sigh escape her lips as she went over to the treadmill. Brianna put her headphones in and turned on her music she then turned the treadmill on and began running on it for about forty-five minutes. Once she was done running on the treadmill she went over to the weights and started lifting them to help strengthen her upper body. After she finished lifting weights she went over to the yoga mats and started practicing her yoga finding her inner peace. Once she was done with her yoga she exited the gym. Being the sometimes airhead she was known to be, Brianna had forgotten to bring water with her so she went over to the drinking foutain and took a long sip of water. When she finished she got back into the elevator and headed back up to her room.
Arriving at her room Brianna walked inside and locked the door behind her. She went into the bathroom and turned on the hot water for the shower. Once the water was the way she liked it she stripped out of her clothes and stepped into the hot shower letting the hot water sooth her sore achy muscles. She started washing her body and once she was finished with that she washed her long brown hair. Finishing her shower she turned off the water and stepped out wrapping the towel around her body. Brianna went back into the bed room and dried herself off and got dressed. Once she was dressed she went back into the bathroom and blow dried her hair and then brushed it. When her hair was all dried and brushed she threw it up into a ponytail and smiled.
Picking her clothes and other items up from the bathroom she walked back into her room and stuffed everything into her suitcase and zipped it up. Slipping on her sandles Brianna did one last look around the room making sure she didn't forget anything. She picked her phone up from the nightstand and put it in her pocket. She grabbed her suitcase and walked back down the hall to the elevator, she stepped inside the elevator and went down to the main lobby to check out.
"Good Morning, Did you enjoy your stay here at Red Lion Inn?" The front desk clerk asked her.
Brianna smiled and nodded her head as she returned her room key and exited the building heading out to the rental car she shared with her sister Nicole. On her way out to the parking lot a few fans stopped her and asked for a quick autograph and a picture. Brianna gladly took a picture with the four females and she sighed an autograph. Pleasing the fans by giving them pictures and autographs was something she truly enjoyed, after all she wouldn't be Brie Bella without her dedicated loyal fans.
Brianna arrived at the rental car and put her bag in the trunk.
"Gees it's about time you show up Brie, I've been waiting forever."
"Sorry Nicole, a few fans stopped me for a picture. And what kind of Bella Twin would I be if I didn't pose for a picture?" Nicole rolled her eyes and closed the trunk stepping into the driver's side of the car. Brianna got into the passenger seat of the car and fastened her seatbelt as Nicole left the hotel and headed towards the arena. The car ride to the arena was silent.
The two twins arrived at the arena. Brianna exited the car pulling her suitcase out and heading inside. She wasted little time getting inside. Once inside the arena Brianna headed to the locker room she shared with her sister. Arriving at their locker room she put her suitcase away and then headed to Stephanie's office.
Walking past a few of her co-workers Brianna smiled and waved at some of them. Reaching Steph's office she knocked on the door waiting for a 'Come in' once she got the okay to enter the office she smiled and walked in seeing Stephanie sitting behind the desk.
"Well good morning Brie, it's nice to see you. As soon as Jon gets here we can discuss what The Authority has in mind for the two of you." Brianna smiled and took a seat on the couch waiting for Jon to show up.
Jon woke up two hours late he was suppose to be at the arena an hour ago. He picked up his phone and saw that it was flashing 7:30. He hated his phone it was such a piece of garbage and it was complicated to use, at least for him anyways. He could text and call people but, when it came to setting an alarm, he always seemed to fuck it up. Rolling out of the bed he let a low groan escape his lips.
"Shit, looks like I only have time for a quick shower." He thought to himself as he shuffled over to his suitcase and pulled out a clean t shirt, a pair of red boxers, and some jeans. Jon made his way into the bathroom he turned on the hot water and stepped out of his boxers he then stepped into the shower and began to wash his body and hair.
Jon finished his shower and wrapped his towel around his waist. He picked his boxers up from the bathroom floor and stuffed them into his suitcase. Drying off he threw the towel on the floor and got dressed. Once the former US Champ was dressed he put on some AXE and then grabbed his suitcase and phone exiting the room and heading to the arena.
As Jon was leaving the hotel he was mobbed by a few fans.
"Sorry guys, I don't have time for an autograph or picture." He walked past a few of the fans and got into his car. He started his car and drove out of the parking lot to the arena.
"Fuck, I'm gonna' get bitched at 'cause Steph is probably gonna' think I was out fuckin' around last night." He thought to himself as he pulled into the parking lot of the arena. Turning the car off he sighed and grabbed his suitcase from the trunk.
Jon walked into the arena and headed towards the Superstars lockeroom.
"Dude! There you are, you better get your ass to Steph's office now, she's pretty pissed bro." Joe told him as he dropped his suitcase off. Making his way to Steph's office Jon inhaled a deep breath and knocked on the door quickly exhaling the breath of air as he heard a 'Come in'. He opened the door and walked into Ms. McMahon's office.
"Well it's about time you showed up, Mr. Good. Brianna and I have been waiting for well over an hour." Steph spat out in an angry tone.
Jon rolled his eyes hearing Steph call him Mr. Good. He felt like he was back in high school again getting lectured by the principal, he always did seem to have a problem with authortiy.
"I'm sorry, I uh, overslept it won't happen again boss." He replied taking a seat next to Brie on the couch.
"Save your sorrys, I don't have time for them. Now that I have you both here, I'd like to discuss what my husband and I have in mind for the two of you. Paul and I were thinking that you two need to be in a storyline. Brie, everyone knows that you and Bryan are no longer engaged, which by the way, I'm sorry about. And Jon everyone knows about the little incident between you and Saraya, which I'm also sorry about, However, the WWE is a place where we strive to bring the best entertainment to our fans, with that being said the two of you will be in a romantic storyline. Jon, we want you to ask Brie out for drinks tonight and Brie you'll turn him down, this will go on for weeks Brie will turn you down and reject you over and over as it all plays out on Raw and Smackdown, Jon will grow an obsession with you and eventually kidnap you as he slowly slips into his Mox side. We want to slowly bring back that TV-14 rating, and we figured that two of the most popular stars here in the company can do that for us. After that we leave all creativity in the hands of you two. I trust that you won't let Paul and I down." Steph spoke as she stood up from behind her desk. "I'll be watching the two of you closely, don't screw this up. Now get out of my office."
Brianna got up from the couch and walked past Jon smiling at him softly as she exited Steph's office. Jon soon followed and caught Brie before she headed towards the catering area.
"So, tonight should be pretty interesting then." Jon stated as he stood in front of her blocking her off from the catering area for just a few moments.
"Excuse me, but, I would like to get something in my stomach before this little segment of ours happens. As for tonight I suppose it will be very interesting." The hippie stated as she pushed past him and got in line behind Summer. " I mean I don't know all that much about you and you don't know all that much about me. But, I guess tonight will help with that." She stated as she grabed a bottle of water and a muffin.
Jon had to admit she did have a point so when he said his next little comment to her he wanted to see how she'd react.
"Look Brie,I don't know what happened between you and Bryan but, if we're gonna' be working together, we need to be on the same page, the chemistry needs to be there, I don't want this to be so fake that the fans see right through it, Like your shitty reality show." He grabbed a bottle of water and a few chicken wings.
Brianna wanted to turn around and smack Jon right in the face for talking to her like a child, that was something she absolutely hated. Nicole did that to her all the time and it drove her crazy.
"First off, don't EVER speak to me like I'm a child again, I'm not stupid, I know exactly what we're suppose to do. I've been here for seven years now. And second, I'm not Eva Marie I know how to act and protray a story. I may not be, as perfect as you but, I know what I'm doing. And if my reality show is so shitty, Why do you watch it, Huh?" Brie stated in an annoyed huff as she walked towards a table near the back of the room.
Jon followed quite closely behind Brianna, with a smirk on his face. "Just so you know, I like fiesty women, so this should be a lot of fun for me." He replied as he sat down at the table.
Monday Night Raw
Brie was backstage chatting with Nattie and Naomi. The two of them were both worried about Brie's mental health after Bryan calling off their engagement and then having her twin sister turn on her at SummerSlam.
"How are you holding up, boo?" Naomi asked as she sat on the crate next to Brie.
"I'll be fine, its not the first time Nikki turned her back on me and its not the first time I've been heart broken." Brie replied as she moved some hair from her face.
"Nikki and Bryan shouldn't have done that to you Brie, You're such a sweet and caring person." Nattie stated.
"I know Nattie but, shit happens. Like I said, I'll be fine I'm a-" Before Brie could finish what she was saying she was interuppted by none other than Dean Ambrose.
"Well well well, look who it is, my favorite Bella. How are ya' holdin' up, toots? I know it can be rough when someone you love stabs you in the back." Dean stated as he stared at Brie.
Hearing Dean's voice behind her startled the young woman. She turned to face him with a look of disgust on her face.
"Can I help you, Ambrose?" She questioned now standing up from the crate she had been sitting on.
"Yeah, actually you can, I was wondering if you wanted to go get a drink with me tonight after the show. Maybe slip into a little 'Brie Mode'." He stated still looking at her as he ran his hand over his chest.
"I don't think so Dean. Besides, I'm going out with Nattie and Naomi, We're doing stuff for our shitty reality show, you wouldn't like it." Brie replied with a slight smirk as she started to walk off with the two girls.
Dean followed closely behind Brie and the other two women. He grabbed Brie by the shoulder and turned her to face him.
"No one turns down Dean Ambrose, C'mon Bella, it's just one drink." Dean was now standing in front of her towering over her.
As Dean towered over her a slight sense of fear came over Brie. When he inched closer to her and blocked off all routes to escape, the fear that had washed over her quickly turned into lust and a longing ache for him. The only time Brie had ever felt feelings this strong was when she was with Bryan, minus the fear portion, Bryan couldn't hurt a fly. Even so, those feelings took years to develop. With Dean, they seemed to hit her all at once. The scent of AXE filled her nose and made her week in the knees.
For a brief moment Brie lost herself in his icy blue hues. She imagined what it would be like to just get to know the guy behind Dean the man known as Jonathan. Shaking her head she snapped back into reality and realized the camera was still on herself and Dean. She moved a few strands of hair from her face and smiled before replying to him.
"Keep your filthy hands off me, Ambrose!" She stated as she brushed his left hand off her shoulder. "And for the record, it looks like I just did." Brie smiled once more as she walked off in the distance. The cameras panned back in on Dean who was talking to himself as they went to commercial break.
The rest of Raw flew by. Brie had a segment with her sister and Dean put on one hell of a main event match with Seth Rollins. After the show was over Joey Mercury, who was one of the producers, told Brie and Dean that Steph wanted to see the two of them in her office. Brie made her way to Steph's office with Dean hot on her heels.
"What do you think the boss wants?" Dean asked.
"I have a feeling we're about to find out." Brie replied as the two of them walked into Steph's office.
Steph's Office
"Do you want to tell me what the hell that was?" Steph spat out as Brie and Jon walked into her office.
"That was us stickin' to the script, boss." Jon said as he took a seat on the couch.
Brianna stood by the door and sighed she knew exactly what Steph was talking about.
"Jon you were great, as usual you stuck to character but, as for you Brie that wasn't what we discussed earlier." Steph stated as she got up from her desk.
"I know, Steph, I'm sorry I just, I got caught up in the moment. Jon is just so, different I'll try-" Once again before Brie could finish speaking she was cut off by Stephanie.
"I don't want to see that look of lust and passion in your eyes again Brie. I get it, Jon's the bad boy, you're the innocent Bella who just had your heart broken, I've been there, but until the time comes for the two of you to take it into your own hands, stick to the script." Steph warned her as she exited her office.
"Well that was intense, it's nice to be praised." Jon stated with a smug smile.
"Oh, shut up!" Bri said before walking out of the office.
"Well someone has her panties in a twist. How about we go grab a bite to eat, maybe discuss our business and get to know each other better." Jon suggested as he followed Bri out of the office.
"You know what, that sounds like a good idea. Just no funny business, okay?" Bri stated with a soft smile.
"No promises, toots." Jon replied as the two of them walked out of the arena and to the parking lot.
