First ever story! Wanted to try it out. Please Leave a review if you like and please excuse any typos or punctuation screw ups. Also let me know if you want to see the story progress.
Trinity stared at Mark Carrano as he, once again, rejected one of her ideas to spice up her career. She's been in the WWE main roster for four years and she has yet to become Divas champion. She's arguably one of the most athletically gifted and the consistent div on the roster. She doesn't understand why the creative team won't give her a chance.
"Mark, you've got to let me do something." Naomi said all while trying not to sound whiny. "When Team B.A.D breaks up, I'd still like to be used somehow.
"Listen, Trinity..." Great. He said her whole name. Usually people just call her Trin. "After Team B.A.D breaks up Sasha will go on to feud with Charlotte for the title and we'll find something for you to do. Just don't worry about it right now."
Before Trinity could rebuttal there were two knocks on the door. Trinity gave Mark a look that said "Don't you dare open that door"
Mark ignored her look with a slight hesitation and yelled "Come on in!"
"Hey Mark. I just wanted to talk to you about these upcoming storylines. I..." The voice stopped when he saw and extra set of brown eyes on him. "Oh. Sorry."
"It's okay, Roman." Mark spoke up. "We were just finishing up here."
"Actually.." Trinity corrected.
Roman cleared his throat. "I can come back later."
"That's not necessary." Mark said to Roman before turning to Trinity. "Naomi, will you excuse us?"
Trin looked at Carrano, then looked at Roman who adjusted the WWE Heavyweight title on his shoulder and shot her an apologetic look. Then back at Carrano. She sighed. "Okay." She stood up and headed for the door. "I'll just be standing outside your office until you guys are done." She smiled tightly and walked out of the office. Before the door shut completely she could have sworn she her someone chuckle. Whatever. She was getting tired of not being taken seriously. She works too darn hard to be stuck in the same position she was in since she started on the Main roster. She leaned back on the wall beside Marks office door, crossed her arms, and watched as crew workers prepared for the Monday nights Raw. She didn't see many superstars and Divas because she arrived at the area an hour earlier than usual anticipating her meeting with Mark. However, the superstars that were there, she waved and gave a smile when she saw them. Usually she'd engage in conversation, but her mind is elsewhere right now. This Raw would be the setting of Team B.A.D's breakup. Honestly, she was ready for a change, but she didn't want that change to be her not wrestling at all. She loved Sasha and was happy for all of her success, but Trin's push was way overdue. Normaly, she's smile and wait her turn but this time she wasn't smiling and she wasn't gonna let another diva step in front of her again. So she jutted out her chin, folded her arms tighter, and waited for Mark to get finished with Roman. She was not taking no for an answer.
*Meanwhile in Mark's Office*
"Sorry about that, Roman. Have a seat."
"No problem." he said while sitting. "So what was that about?" he said jerking his head towards the door where Trinity just left.
Mark waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's just some storyline issues."
"Hmph." Roman nodded. He understood where Trinity was coming from. He always admired her work ethic. Always in the gym pushing herself to the limit. When she was with Jon, he noticed how she always dragged him in the ring to practice new moves to add to her arsenal. It amazed him that she hasn't been champ yet. He silently hoped that soon she'd get was she's been asking Mark for, She's sure as hell deserves it. Clearing his throat, he spoke up. "Spaing of storyline issues, That's what I came her to talk to you about."
"Okay. What's going on?"
"Well," Roamn started. Resting his title on his lap. "So I know I'm in this storyline with Rusev, but I honestly don't see it going anywhere. Nobody sees him as much of a real threat to my championship. It's getting pretty repetitive, ya know? He yells in Bulgarian, I tell him to come see me in the ring, he does, but so do the League of nations. I take them out and Lana calls me a 'Bitch' in Russian." Roman sighs and shakes his head. "The audience isn't going to get excited anymore. It took me a year to get the fans on my side. I don't want to lose them again." Roman usually doesn't speak this much at one time, but when it comes to the things he cares about, he can't help but share how he feels.
Mark looked at him and nodded. "Roman, I totally here where you're coming from, but this feud with Rusev can't just end. We have to see it through to the next PPV."
Roman ran his hands down his face and sighed once again. "Okay, well can we do something to spice it up? At least give me that."
"I'll tell you what, I'll speak with some of the writers and see what's going gone. In the meantime, you don't need to worry about anything."
"That doesn't make me feel any better about this."
Just then there was a knock on the door. Trinity stuck her head in first, then shuffled the rest of her body inside. "Don't mean to interrupt, but I have to use the bathroom and I don't want you to think that I left and gave up. I'll be back outside your office waiting for you two," she wagged her finger between Roman and Mark, "to be done."
Mark opened his mouth then shut it as if he was trying to figure out what to say. Trinity smirked. Roman watched her in amusement. "This girl is ridiculous." he thought to himself. And Trin turned to leave, Roman turned to see Mark Carrano's thinking face. "Uh oh," he said aloud softly.
"Wait, Naomi. I have an idea," Mark called out.
Naomi whipped around to face Mark. "What idea?"
"A storyline!"
Naomi rolled her eyes. " Well yeah it better be a storyline. That's the only reason I'm here."
Mark ignored her snarky response and continued. "It's going to be a storyline involving you two." he said pointing.
Trinity and Roman both looked at each other with their own versions of a confused face. Trin with her eyes narrowed and lips pursed. Roman with raised eyebrows and parted lips. The return their confused faces to Mark once again and Roman finally spoke up. "Okay, so what will we be doing?"
"Hmm... I'm not sure."
It was Trinity's turn to chime in, "What do you mean you're not sure?"
"Well obviously I haven't gotten that far yer. But you two are in need a story that's fresh and new. Why not kill two birds with one stone?" Mark sat back, clearly impressed with himself.
Roman nodded understanding where Carrano was coming from. Anything is better than the feud he was in now. He looked over at Trinity who was standing off to the side, tapping her finger against her arm and rocking on her heels. That was another thing he noticed about her. She couldn't stay still. Probably a dancer thing. He regarded her for another moment before saying, "I'm in."
Trinity stepped out of Carrano's office and Roman followed. She released a breath she didn't even realize she was holding. She could not believe she spoke to her boss like that. She's usually very easygoing and always does what she's told, but she couldn't hold her tongue any longer. She knew she had to speak up and it worked out in her favor. Now she was getting a fresher storyline. AND it's with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. She turned expecting to see Roman still behind her but he wasn't there anymore. She scanned the busy backstage are until her eyes landed on the built Samoan. He was taking a picture with a little red headed girl with an "I Can. I Will" t-shirt. She studied him for a moment. Grey sweatpants, black fitted t-shirt, hair pulled back in his signature man bun, hazel eyes, and his smile. She forgot how attractive he was. When she was with Jon she regarded Roman as family, but now that she's single she finally understands where all of the other Diva's were coming from. This boy was fine. Roman glanced in her direction as if he felt eyes on him. She realized she'd been openly staring at him. Instead of looking away embarrassed, Trinity lifted her hand and gave a small wave. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly before turning back to the little girl and giving her one last hug. Afterwards, he strolled over to Trinity and stopped a few feet in front of her. God he smells good. Why hasn't she noticed before?
"Hey." Roman said breaking her train of thought.
"Hey" she replied. "So... what do you think about all this?"
"What? Doing a storyline together?"
She nodded.
Should he tell her that he was actually excited to work with her? Also a little bit nervous. Nah. He'll play it cool. She doesn't need to know that he's actually a huge teddy bear inside. He shurgged. "Sure. Why not, right?"
She studied him and then nodded again. "I kind of wish we had a little more details, you know?"
Roman ran his hands through his hair and sighed. "Yeah, I guess we just have to wait it out."
Naomi bit her lip and looked toward the ceiling. No way she was going to any longer. She looked back at Roman. "Yeah that doesn't work for me. So we're going to go think of a story for ourselves. Come on Champ." She breezed passed him and started heading down the hallway.
"Wait." Before she got too far, Roman grabbed her hand to stop her. When they connected Roman couldn't help but feel a tiny burst of energy shoot through them. He looked down at their connected hands and quickly dropped them. Did she feel that too? He shook the thought out of his head and cleared his throat. "We can't just create our own story. That's not our place."
"You're right." She folded her arms and looked past Roman. After a couple seconds pass she realized she might have found a loophole to his objection. "We can just come up with suggestions for stories. Something to help speed up the process."
"I don't know, Trin." Her name sounded beter coming out of his mouth. Man, she's easy.
"Pleeassee?" She pleaded. Trinity took a step towards Roman with her hands behind her back.
"Stop that." he demanded weakly. She took another step and gave her best Puppy dog eyes while rocking on her toes. Roman was always a sucker for Puppy dog eyes. That's how his daughter Joelle got anything she wanted from him. And now this interesting and attractive woman was standing in front of him hitting him with that same face. How could he say no? He sighed. "Okay okay. You got it."
Trinity's face lit up like a light. "Thank you, Ro!" Without a thought, Trinity wrapped her hands around Roman's neck and hugged him tightly. Instinctively, Roman enveloped his arms around her waist and hugged him back. It wasn't an awkward hug either. It was a hug that people who have know each other their whole life give. It was nice. She was nice. This felt good. Too good. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
Trinity didn't know why she had the urge to hug him, but she wasn't regretting it. His arms felt so good around her wait. Even though she's much smaller than him, they fit. Like they were meant to hug each other. It was weird, but she liked it. She hasn't felt a hug this good since her a Jon started dating four years ago. At the thought of Jon, Trin pulled back from Roman. She shouldn't be thinking or feeling this way about her ex-fiance's cousin. Her hands still rested on his shoulders and his rested on her hips. "Uh, thank you... again." She managed to squeak out.
Roman stared at her. "No problem."
Trinity wanted to say something else, but the way Roman was looking at her like he could see through to her soul, she didn't think she'd be able to form complete sentences.
"Trin?"
"Hmm?"
"Didn't you say you had to use the bathroom?"
Gosh that was hard. Hope you like it. Should I leave it like this or should I let the story progress? Let me know!
