Three months ago life was exciting, but it was exciting in the way that new beginnings are exciting and slightly scary. I had just accepted a paid internship with the WWE for my last two semesters to finish my degree in Business Administration. I was going to be the personal assistant to Renee Young as she dealt with her different roles in the WWE. I wasn't exactly happy about the role I had been given, but my college was going to accept it for my last two semesters credits so I could graduate with enough credits and an internship at a large company. I knew that I would have to deal with stupid jobs and work my way up when I was first starting out, but personal assistant was still a surprise to me.
I had agreed to the job because it meant that I would be traveling constantly, I got to move to Las Vegas to be near to Ms. Young, and that for the next year I could get in some real world experiences in many different areas. I also knew that looking at wrestlers all day wasn't a horrible things either.
The first month went by and it was rocky. I was in an apartment in Las Vegas that was the size of a closet, but my view was amazing. I also wasn't there much so the size didn't bother me. I had gotten into a routine with Renee and even ended up on Total Divas by accident. I had to get used to Renee and how she wanted me to do things. She wanted to make sure that I had every detail of her day down and ready for her. She had gotten me a WWE company phone just for her to use to call or text me. She knew that she was coming up in the company and wanted to make sure that she had every opportunity. I didn't answer the phone call on the second ring once and she had a come apart. I wanted to quit at first, but was determined to stick it out.
The second month was a little more tiring because it wears on you, but I had somehow scored a date with Seth Rollins. I had also managed to find some part of Dean Ambrose acceptable after he had come off as an aloof asshole. I was settling into my life for the next year, and knew that it wasn't going to be all bad.
I had officially been a paid intern in the WWE for 3 months now and things were better. I was officially dating Seth Rollins, my best friend on tour was Cesaro due to our love of coffee, and Renee now insisted that I go everywhere with her.
"Percy!" a voice called to me and I looked up to see Renee coming out of the announcers area at the pre-show for No Mercy. I was glad that I had finally gotten used to that nickname, since apparently my name, Persephone, was too much for her. I quickly walked over to her and handed her what she needed. She had asked me to pick up a few things since she wasn't feeling well. I knew that she would insist on going out with the other divas tonight so I wasn't surprised that she wanted to feel better quickly.
"Thank you, you saved me." she said as I handed her a mirror to check her make up. She always got it done from the make up ladies with the WWE, and it always looked good. I had gotten to get mine done on occasion, but usually I was uncomfortable because I didn't wear that much make up or care if my hair was done.
"Look good." I said and she smiled at me. She got ready to say something else, but Dean walked up. I stepped away to give them some privacy and make sure that nothing had changed on the production set for tonight.
"Hey beautiful." I heard a voice say as I was scanning the sheet. I looked up to see Seth smiling at me. He pulled me in for a kiss and I happily returned it.
"Hi." I said and he kissed me again.
"Percy, are we good?" Renee asked me and interrupted our moment. I looked at her and nodded. I quickly handed her the sheet and she scanned it.
"Great, only one off stage interview. Where will you be watching the show from?" she asked me.
"Backstage right behind the curtain and my phone will be in my lap." I said and she nodded. She had come to expect me to always have my phone incase she had an emergency... and she had a lot of them at times.
"Come on, I will join you." Seth said and I nodded as I grabbed my bag and walked with him. He took my hand and walked with me. I was still waiting on him to dump me. I knew that it was like a dream that I was actually dating him. He was chiseled, tall, and had gorgeous dark features. I was short, curly red hair, and skinny... not in shape, but skinny.
We sat down on one of the love seats back stage and made sure that I had my phone in my lap. Renee texted me on and off through the show, Seth was watching the show from the monitor and had his own commentary going about it, and I kept track of everything since I knew that the moment it was over I had to go with Renee to the locker room. She was going out tonight and I had to get her things from her before they left.
"Percy! Are you sure you don't want to go with us?" Nikki asked me as I waited on Renee to change.
"No thanks, I have a date with Seth tonight." I said and they all 'awwwed' at me and I rolled my eyes. I was a private person before this internship, but it was slowly crumbling since they were all so friendly and slightly nosey.
"Here, I will see you tomorrow morning." Renee said and handed me her bag that had her things in it. I knew that she would pick it up tomorrow morning. I nodded and made sure she didn't need anything before heading back to the hotel. Seth changed his mind and wanted to go out. I still wasn't feeling it and wasn't mad... it gave me an excuse to sleep uninterrupted for awhile.
I had just changed into a tank top and yoga pants, let me hair down, and cracked open a beer. I was glad that the hotel had a small convenient store next to it because I had found a 4 pack of Guinness. I was going to watch TV and fall asleep. I had just settled on South Park when there was a knock at the door. I knew that either Renee had come back already because one of the other divas had pissed her off or Seth was back already looking for sex.
I opened the door and came face to face with Dean. I wasn't sure why he was here because he usually didn't talk to me. I was just 'her assistant'.
"Dean, what can I do for you?" I asked him and he looked me up and down. I knew that he and Seth were friends, but I still found him slightly creepy.
"I... uh... never mind." he said and shook his head. He looked a little off, and knew that Renee cared about him.
"What is it? Do you need something?" I asked him because I knew that he had been slightly injured in the match tonight.
"I was just hoping that Seth was around... I don't really feel like sitting alone tonight." he said and I nodded. I knew that Seth had told people were were staying in tonight, but he had changed his mind.
"He decided to go out. I can find out what bar they are at if you want to go meet them." I offered and he shook his head. I couldn't help buy look him over. He was in work out shorts and his signature wife beater. He had messy hair and looked tired.
"Nah, I could have gone out with Renee and then listened to diva gossip." he said with a chuckle and for some reason I felt bad for him. I shouldn't feel anything because he hadn't been friendly to me at all since I had started this internship. We usually just didn't speak to each other.
"I have a four pack of Guinness if you want to watch South Park." I offered and he looked surprised. I was actually surprised at the words that came out of my mouth... I was being nice to him.
"Um, you don't mind?" he asked me and I moved to the side a little. He looked around and then slowly walked into the room. I handed him a beer and we sat down on the small sofa in the room.
"You know you aren't bad, Percy." he said after watching a few episodes. I smirked and nodded.
"Thanks, I think." I said and he chuckled.
"I will stop bothering you now. I am sure that you are enjoying the time without your phone going off." he said and I chuckled.
"Thanks for watching South Park with me, Dean." I said as he stood up.
"I will buy the beer next time." he said and started to the door. I stood up and stretched.
"Night, Persephone." he said and I looked at him strange.
"You know my name?" I asked him and he shook his head. I never took Dean for being perceptive or even giving a shit about anyone else.
"Seth isn't the only one who pays attention to you." he said and with that he slipped out my door. I shook my head, threw away my empty beer can, and slipped into bed. He was right... I wanted sleep tonight while I could get it.
