Seth sat behind the commentator table with his Universal championship on the table in front of him. He was watching the match taking place inside the ring. Dolph Ziggler vs Drew McIntyre for the number one contendership.
"Who would you rather face, Seth?" Michael Cole asked.
"It doesn't really matter to me, Cole. Neither man can take this baby from me," Seth patted his championship. "I think Carina would make a bigger challenge."
Seth moved his eyes to Carina who stood on the floor, hammering both hands down on the apron. Carina Ziggler, baby sister to Dolph Ziggler. She was three years younger than her brother. She hadn't been with the company for long but she had already set a whole lot of hearts on fire. Including the heart of Seth Rollins.
"She's not in the match," Cole said doltishly.
"I know that," Seth laughed.
He kept his eyes on the woman. Her and Dolph were like day and night. Dolph had his bleach blonde hair and blue eyes but Carina had burgundy hair and cognac brown eyes. She sure won when it came to looks between the two siblings if anybody asked for Seth's opinion.
"Come on, Dolph!" She shouted. "Kick his ass!"
She jumped up on the apron and shouted even louder.
"What is she doing up there?" Corey asked. "Get down, Carina. You're gonna get yourself hurt."
"This is not looking good," Renee said.
Dolph sent Drew in Carina's direction. She grabbed the top rope and leaned backwards as much as she could, pulling the rope down. Drew went over the rope and crashed down on the floor. Carina snickered as she moved up to stand normally again and let go of the rope.
"They cheated!" Cole shouted.
"It's only cheating if you get caught," Renee said. "You go, girl."
Dolph had one big grin on his face as he walked over and high fived his sister. He turned his attention to Seth, pointing down at the man, failing to see Drew had gotten back up. Hands closed around Carina's ankles. She was yanked down, her head hitting the apron as she went down.
"What the hell?" Renee asked.
"Carina's not moving," Cole said. "This doesn't look good."
"She's out cold," Corey said.
Dolph jumped out of the ring but only to continue his match with Drew. The two men got back into the ring. The sound of a headset being dumped on the table sounded and everyone looked as Seth ran around the table and over to Carina.
"What is Seth doing?" Corey asked.
Seth fell to his knees next to Carina, gently trying to wake her up.
"Hey, wake up. Come on, beautiful, I need to see those eyes of yours. Open them for me," he said.
She slowly opened her eyes and stared into a pair of chocolate brown eyes. For a second she was confused. Her brother had blue eyes. This wasn't her brother checking up on her.
"You're not Dolph," she mumbled.
"Thank fuck for that," he smirked.
"Seth?" She asked. "Did you always have such pretty eyes?"
"I guess," he chuckled. "Can you sit up for me?"
She tried getting up but she dropped back down again.
"I don't feel so good," she said.
"I got you," he said.
He lifted her up as gently as he could. He turned his focus to Renee who was watching him rather than the match.
"Renee!" He yelled. "Watch my title for me!"
"You got it!" She held up her thumb.
He carried Carina up the ramp. Hunter came stomping out with a microphone in his hand. They locked eyes for a second as they walked passed each other. Seth didn't have time to figure out what Hunter wanted. He had to get Carina to one of the doctors. As he carried her backstage, he heard Hunter stop the match.
"No, no, no! That's now how we play around here. Putting your hands on a woman, Drew? I should disqualify you but I'm not gonna do that," Hunter held a small pause. "Neither of you win this match. Instead you're both gonna go against Seth Rollins in a triple threat match."
Seth muttered something under his breath. Of course Hunter had done that. More competition for Seth. It wasn't Drew and Dolph in themselves that worried him. It was the fact that a triple threat had no rules. Weapons and other people could join in and help the other two. He couldn't worry about that now. He could only worry about Carina. She seemed better as he gently put her down in front of one of the doctors.
"Is she alright?" Seth asked.
"Let me check her first," the doctor chuckled.
Seth took a step back, watching as the doctor checked her over.
"No concussion," he finally said. "Take an aspirin before bed and you should be fit for fight tomorrow again."
"Thank you, doc," she looked over at Seth. "And thank you, Seth."
"Just doing my duty as a human being," Seth shrugged.
"No, you weren't but I'll pretend with you if that's what you want," she said.
She was standing up against the examination table. He stepped up to her and placed his hands on either side of her on the table.
"What I want," he leaned in close. "Is a date."
"Win that triple threat and you're on," she said.
"That's not fair. You're gonna be in there alongside your brother and you just proved minutes ago that you're playing dirty to help him," he said.
"Maybe I was helping because I wanted him to win so that I would have a reason to be close to you again," she said. "Or maybe you can't trust me at all. Guess you'll have to wait and see this Sunday when you're stepping inside the ring to defend your title. I'll be there."
