Reese sat waiting in the office chewing on her fingernail at high speed as she waited for Vince to come into his office. She had been on a developmental contract for almost a year working at different house shows as a Diva's extra or just wrestling her butt off at OVW. She had heard a lot about some of the younger people getting cut off on their contracts and thought she was safe since she had stuck with the company for so long until she got a call last week from Vince McMahon's assistant. She knew she should have prepared for this gotten an extra job or stayed in college like her mother said but no she wanted to be a wrestler.
"Ms. Peatry I am so glad you made it." Vince said as he walked up behind Reese's chair making her jump.
"I would never miss a meeting sir." Reese swallowed hard she could feel a lump form in her throat as the tears of realization of what was about to happen hit her.
"You probably know why you're here but I guess I'll tell you anyway." Vince sighed as he sat down in the worn leather chair behind his desk.
"I have an idea." Reese squeaked afraid if she talked louder she would start crying.
"Then you will have no problem starting next month." Vince smiled as he looked at the tiny brunette.
"Wait, what do you mean start next month?" Reese said in confusion at the older man in front of her.
"Well I would like you to train with some of the wrestlers I have assigned for you before you start on Friday nights; I already assigned who will be training you." Vince said as he leaned back to observe the young girls face.
"Does that mean I'm not getting fired?" Reese said with some hope in her voice.
"Of course not, you're here to start on Friday night Smackdown." Vince looked at her funnily.
"Yes! Of course! Where is my contract? I want to sign!" Reese said relieved and giddy.
"I'll buzz my secretary to bring it over right now." Vince said as he hit a button on the desk and asked a woman for some papers.
"Who will be training me?" Reese asked smiling openly now.
"Paul Levesque who plays Triple H, Mark Callaway who plays Undertaker, Michelle McCool, and Mickie James when she is not at RAW." Vince smiled a little before a blonde woman in black and pink walked into his office.
"The papers you wanted." She said as she bent down to put them on the older man's desk.
"Of course, now let's get down to business." Vince smiled before handing Reese a pen.
2 months later
"Are you excited?" Michelle asked before taking a sip of her water.
"I might be." Reese laughed as she took a sip of her own water.
"Liar, of course she's excited. She gets to be one of the big girls now." Mickie laughed as she bootie bumped Reese making her loose her balance and land on her butt.
"Owe, that hurt!" Reese said as she slapped Mickie on her dragon tattoo.
"How can someone so tough in the ring be such a wimp?" Mickie laughed as she tried to pull Reese up.
"I am not a wimp!" Reese said putting her hands on her hips.
"You are out of the ring." Mickie laughed as she stuck her tongue out at Reese.
"You did not just stick your tongue out." Michelle laughed as she started putting things back in her gym bag.
"With good reason." Mickie said making Reese giggle.
"I can't believe I start tomorrow." Reese sighed as she sat on her gym bag as the other two girls got their stuff together.
"Me either, it feels like my little girl is all grown up." Mickie said with a sniffle as she wiped a fake tear from her eye.
"Michelle, you here?" Mark's voice rang from the room beside them.
"Here comes big sexy!" Reese said as Mark walked into the room wearing a white skull T-shirt, dark jeans and tinted sunglasses.
"Will you please not call him that?" Michelle sighed but smiled still.
"Why you call him," Reese laughed
"Call me what, little girl?" Mark asked picking Reese up and moving her out of his way.
"Nice, wonderful, and a great teacher." Reese said with a cheesy smile as she batted her eyelashes.
"With a great ass." Mickie elbowed Reese in the ribs before they both doubled over in laughter.
"What are they laughing about?" Mark growled not hearing what Mickie said and kissed Michelle.
"They are just jealous that I have you and they don't." Michelle laughed before handing Mark her bag.
"I'm just so jealous that I won't be in your sheets tonight." Mickie winked at Mark.
"Unless you invite us." Reese giggled as Mark scowled at the two girls.
"A thirty something and a twenty four year old acting like thirteen year olds." Mark said before walking over to Reese. "Ready for tonight?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." Reese said sighing before picking up her bags.
"You're going to do just fine sugar. You were trained by me after all." He winked at her before hugging her.
"Do you need a ride to the hotel?" Michelle asked as they waved to Mickie who got in her rental and drove off.
"No my car's right there. I need to run a few errands anyway." Reese smiled at the couple before walking over to her car.
"Have you even checked into the hotel?" Mark asked lowering his sunglasses to look at Reese.
"It's on my list of errands." Reese said as she opened the door to her rented hummer. "See you later."
"I'll call you about dinner, okay?" Michelle laughed waving.
"Good, how about steak?" Reese asked standing up over the open door to her car.
"Sounds like a winner." Mark said before slapping Michelle on the butt and pushing her toward their rental car.
Reese smiled before sitting into the warm leather seat and slammed the door shut pushing her purse into the seat next to her. "What am I going to listen to?" Reese asked herself as she pulled out her CD case and pulled out her Papa Roach CD.
She had been counting down the days till she would start on the Tuesday night taping and now that it was here she couldn't believe it. The only thing that made this better was the fact that she was going to be working with her two favorite wrestlers in the WWE. She had watched the Hardys since they had come out in all their colorful dangerous glory and had dreamed of the day she would meet them much less work for them.
"Welcome to Starbuck's what would you like?" A feminine voice came from the black box that was staring at Reese.
"I need a grande caramel macchiato." Reese yelled turning her music down.
"Will that be all?" the woman asked before giving Reese her price.
Reese cranked up her radio as she drove across town towards the hotel that her planner had made reservations at. She could see that the other wrestlers had already arrived at the huge swanky place judging by the multiple black rentals that surrounded the private parking lot that was used for special guests. She swerved into the parking space that was closest to the doors to the hotel cutting off a silver Toyota that looked like it had seen better days. Reese jumped out of her car before popping the trunk to grab her duffel and airport bags.
"What in the hell was that?" An angry voice yelled from the Toyota as the window rolled down.
"Sorry, I'm in a rush." Reese yelled not even looking into the rolled down window to see the obvious stalker that was trying to get some autographs.
"What and you're the only one?" The voice said and she heard another voice laugh from the seat next to him followed by another one from the backseat.
"Listen asshole I understand I cut you off but I have plans and I need to get settled before I head to the arena before I get fired okay?" Reese asked looking at her phone for the time. She had a schedualed meeting with Stephanie McMahon in an hour and it was going to take some time to get to the arena considering the traffic.
"I'm sure that getting into someone's pants is important to you but I really need to get inside and I need that parking space." Reese heard the car door open and slam shut and two male voices laughing from inside.
"Don't you dare touch me." Reese growled as she sharply turned coming face to face with an outraged Matt Hardy.
"Listen you fucking groupie I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole, I just need the god damn parking space!" He yelled at her as he pointed towards her vehicle and sighed.
"Who in the hell are you calling a groupie? Do I look like a groupie?" Reese huffed putting her hands on her hips.
"Well I don't think normal people dress like that in public." Mat said as he pointed to her spandex shorts and lime green sports bra.
"And you think you're dressed to impress? You look like you haven't showered in days." Reese snorted looking at Matt's stained green T-shirt and long mesh shorts.
"I drove here from North Carolina." He said raising his dark eyebrows at her.
"I drove here from New Orleans and I don't look like a bum." Reese smirked up at him as he stood closer to her before turning around to see Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore walk out of the car holding bags.
"I had to drive with those idiots, not that it's any of your business, for eleven hours all the way here so that I could make it on time to do a match tomorrow night. The closest parking space is in the public parking lot where although there is probably no one as desperate looking as you are there are a ton of groupies waiting for me to fuck them there and I am in no condition to deal with that shit. So either you leave me the hell alone or I'll make you." Matt growled while Shannon and Jeff walked up behind him.
"I'd like to see you try, Hardy." Reese smiled maliciously.
"I'm glad to hear that. SECURITY!" Mat yelled at a bright yellow security truck that was passing a couple rows back.
"Wait… What in the hell are you doing?" Reese yelled her eyes getting wide.
"It looks like he's kicking you out." Jeff smiled at her and winked.
"Thank you captain obvious, I was talking about why." Reese said to Jeff who was smiling brightly at her.
"What do you need Mr. Hardy?" The guard asked clearing his throat as he walked out of his little truck.
"This lady is refusing to leave our private parking lot for employs only and I have asked her multiple times to leave. Please escort her out so I can have my parking space." Matt said before slipping the man a twenty as he shook his hand.
"Ma'am if you wouldn't mind driving your car to the public parking lot to check in and leave these gentlemen alone." The man said looking at her with his plain brown eyes.
"I work at the company and have a right to be here. I dare you to try to move me." Reese said raising an eyebrow at him.
"Ma'am if you don't move I will have to apply force." The man said in a frustrated sigh.
"Don't you dare touch me." Reese said backing up from the officer.
"Will you just stop being so stubborn." Matt let out a strangled laugh.
"Ma'am you asked for it." The officer said before grabbing Reese's arm and pushing her to the back of his vehicle.
"Oh sit she's going to blow." Shannon snorted when he saw her face and laughed as Jeff let out a giggle.
"Don't touch me." Reese yelled before pushing the officer on the ground with force.
"What in the hell do you think you're doing?" Matt yelled before watching as the officer pulled something off his belt and sprayed it into Reese's eyes.
"Oh my god, that fucking hurts." Reese screamed holding her face in her hands as she rocked back and forth on the ground.
"That is going to hurt in the morning." Jeff said wincing at the sight of Reese slamming her head on the tailgate of the officer's truck.
"And maybe the rest of the week." Shannon said watching the fiasco before him.
"Do you need help getting her into the truck?" Matt asked smugly as he watched the police officer finally succeed at putting handcuffs on Reese and was now trying to shove her into the back of his truck.
"Yes, she's fighting back." He said out of breath before watching as Matt picked her up and practically threw her into the backseat and slammed the door.
"I told you I could." Matt yelled threw the glass as she banged her head on the seat in front of her in defeat.
"I need a hummer towed in the private parking lot in the first row third to the left side of the building." The guard said into his radio as a tow truck came around the corner with the hotel's logo written on the side.
"Time for our meeting." Matt said as he watched the tow truck bring the groupie's car out of the parking lot.
"I just can't wait." Jeff said sarcastically.
"Jeff they're giving us a push so shut up and suck it up." Matt said punching his little brother in the arm.
"I'll be in the pool trying to see a nipple." Shannon laughed as they walked with their duffle bags into the side door of the hotel.
"Matt can I-" Jeff started.
"Nope you're going to that meeting whether you like it or not." Matt said as his two friends followed behind him
"Matt I don't think you realize this but this could be bragging rights for the Hardy Show." Jeff said as they checked into the hotel.
"Without your job there would be no Hardy Show therefore your job comes first." Matt said as he got into the elevator.
"Where's the meeting at?" Jeff asked as the elevator stopped on the fifth floor.
"They're using the dining hall in the hotel for two o'clock so don't be late." Matt said still aggravated from the groupie.
"Two o'clock that's like in fifteen fricken minutes." Jeff said in shock.
"Then you better hurry up." Matt said and slammed his door as he walked in.
He had been having a horrible day ever since he and Ashley had broken up for mutual reasons. Mutual reasons were true but that still didn't stop the fact that he was now still single and thirty four years old. Although he hated to admit it this whole going without sex thing was killing him and even that crazy groupie looked good.
Oh god now I want to fuck that crazy groupie Mat thought as he pulled out a button down shirt and a pair of worn jeans.
"Matt are you ready?" a knock came from the other end of his door. "I want to go see the groupies with Shannon."
"Jeff how in the hell are you still with Beth?" Matt grumbled as he grabbed his phone and wallet and headed out the door.
"I love her." Jeff said as they walked down the hall.
"You look at other women." Matt pointed out.
"Only groupies and I would never cheat on Beth. Me and Shannon only do it to get a thrill." Jeff smirked as they pressed the number one on the elevator buttons. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just still aggravated with that groupie." Matt said as the elevator buzzed down the fllors.
"She was a hot groupie, did you see her stomach?" Jeff asked elbowing his older brother.
"Yeah I did." Matt said thinking about her.
"Someone's in love." Jeff smirked as the elevator door opened.
"I am not; I just haven't gotten any in a while." Matt said as they walked across the lobby towards two frosted glass doors.
"Sure, I believe that." Jeff snorted with laughter as they reached them.
"You need to bro because I am not in love with that groupie." Matt said as he opened the door with ease.
"Matt, Jeff nice to see you made it." Vince McMahon said as he got up from the table and shook both boys' hands. "I have very limited time so I need to make this short and sweet, please sit."
"Nice to see you, Vince." Matt shook his bosses hand and sat in a chair across from him and watched as Jeff did the same.
"Well as a new story line I wanted to throw a girl into the whole Matt tired off Jeff thing, her name is Reese Peatry and she is relatively new to the company. She was supposed to be here but I just got a call from Mark Callaway saying she had gotten into a situation but would be here tomorrow." Vince smiled at them.
"Sounds like fun." Jeff said leaning back into his chair. "Is she going to be a face or a heel?"
"A heel, I want her to be working with Matt, she will be blackmailed by Matt into working for him which will start a friendship because of their mutual hate of you." Vince pointed to Jeff and then looked at his watch. "I have to leave for another meeting with Stephanie and the creative team and Reese will meet you at the arena and tell you the details." Vince said standing up.
"Anyway we could see her?" Jeff asked as they walked out the doors.
"Outside there is a truck with her face and name on it since we plan on her being such a big character. It's out back in the private parking lot." Vince said before shaking the men's hands and going towards the parking lot.
"Let's go check her out." Jeff said tapping Matt's arm.
"Sure why not." Matt said a little curious himself. "I don't like that she had some trouble though."
"Matt she was probably in traffic or was signing papers. Vince wouldn't have signed anyone with a bad history." Jeff said as they walked out the door towards the parking lot.
"Where are the trucks?" Matt asked looking around.
"There, under the tents." Jeff grinned and ran over there with Matt walking behind him.
"Matt, umm, man you have a problem." Jeff yelled at his older brother.
"Is she like fat or something?" Matt yelled in a joking voice. "Or does she just have a big hairy wart above her lip?"
"I think you need to see for yourself." Jeff said still looking at the truck.
"What in the hell are you talking about?" Matt asked as he walked next to Jeff.
"You got WWE's new Diva arrested." Jeff said in shock.
