Oh look, I'm back already. Major thanks to SpariaToTheNextLevel for sending me this prompt and trusting me to write it well, it means a lot and I hope you're pleased with the result by the time it's over :) Obviously, in this fic Brie isn't married (sorry Braniel, I ship it so hard), neither is AJ and Paige isn't engaged. Set just after AJ's attack on Paige after being called crazy (July 28th, 2014) so that we're right in the PaiJ feud but the Bellas will shortly get involved in things. Of course since Brie isn't married, the whole angle with her, Daniel and The Authority doesn't exist here. Thanks to anyone that reads and/or reviews, you guys rule all.
Brie Bella had a problem. Her problem had started almost a month ago, on the 30th of June, she just hadn't known it yet. That problem was called AJ Lee. It wasn't that she hated AJ, it wasn't that she wasn't friends with AJ either, it was simply that she was jealous of her. Pretty much all the Divas in the locker room were, I mean, who wouldn't be jealous of the longest reigning Divas Champion in WWE history? But strangely, Brie's jealousy didn't stem from there. Sure, she would absolutely love to get another title reign, but for now she was quite content doing random singles matches or tagging with her twin sister until a bigger storyline came along for them. At this moment, she had her eyes set on another prize, and that prize was none other than the raven-haired British beauty and main roster newbie, Paige.
See, Brie had always found herself weirdly attracted to Paige, ever since she'd laid eyes on the Brit moving up on her way towards the NXT Women's Title, and it was the kind of attraction she'd never before felt towards a woman. Being the quieter and the shyer of the Bella Twins, she'd never really experimented with her sexuality before. Obviously she'd dated, but with her job being so demanding and her schedule so full, nothing had lasted very long or gotten very serious. And since she'd only dated and slept with guys before, she had been pretty sure she was straight. However, there was no doubt about the fact that Paige could make a lot of people question their sexuality at least once, and knowing that Paige was openly bisexual made her actually want to act upon her attraction, just to see where things went. That was exactly Brie's plan, or at least it had been until AJ returned after almost 2 months out following her title loss on the Raw after Wrestlemania XXX.
Even though it had only been a few months since Paige's debut, pretty much everyone backstage knew about her 'friends with benefits' situation with AJ. They'd drunkenly fooled around the night Paige made her main roster debut and if the noises heard from closets backstage and sometimes their locker rooms were anything to go by, they'd soberly picked up where they left off after AJ won back her "baby" on the night of her return.
Yes, Brie's jealousy wasn't professional at all, it was completely personal and had everything to do with that situation. She'd been unfortunate enough to catch them both in the act after Paige had turned heel and attacked AJ after their tag match victory a week ago, and that had only caused the green eyed monster inside her to grow. During AJ's absence, both Brie and Nikki had grown close to Paige and spent quite a bit of time together outside of work so Brie had been able to turn on the flirting with the naturally flirty Brit, causing her to grow more confident. But all that had been halted now by AJ popping back up. The Divas Champ was also openly bisexual and had no problem showing just that with the woman Brie had her eyes on. It was like some form of torture.
"Brie!" Came Nikki's voice from beside her, startling her and pulling her vision back into focus on the door she was staring at. "What are you even doing sat here?"
"It's Catering, duh. I'm getting some food." Brie replied, trying to act normal.
Nikki rolled her eyes, not buying it for a second. "Which is why you're staring at the supply closet door, sure." Her voice suddenly changed to an amused tone. "Were you waiting for Paige to come in here again?"
"I...what...no! And what do you mean again? I never have." Brie gabbled, blushing.
Nikki snickered. "You're so obvious. But wait...why are you staring over there?"
Brie sighed. "Have you not listened to like anything I've told you these past weeks?"
"Ah, she's screwing AJ again. Shocking." Nikki paused for a moment. "You know, you should just get in there, fuck it."
"Oh God, not this again. I stand no chance next to AJ." Brie whined.
"Says who?" Nikki shot back instantly. "Everyone knows they're just fucking around to release their sexual tension from the ring, it's not like you'd be messing up a relationship or something. Paige is single...so you should try to mingle."
Brie took a moment to consider her sister's words. "You really think she's fair game?"
"Obviously. If you want, you could just aim to hook up with her and see how it feels. It's clear she's a horny one anyways." Nikki laughed as a muffled moan was heard from the small supply closet a few metres away from their table.
"You got that right..." Brie trailed off, distracted by an especially loud moan from Paige.
Nikki saw the look on her twins face and laughed again. "You should see yourself right now, it's hilarious. Seriously, get in there."
Brie tried to ignore the increasingly louder sounds and focused on the conversation she was having. "What if they have feelings though?"
"Still not a relationship. Look, Paige has hit on you while we've been out before, it's worth trying something. And I'm tired of seeing you moping around and hearing you complain about how jealous you are, so you have to!" Nikki told her firmly, about to continue when the closet door opened and AJ's head poked through the gap. "Busteeeed." Nikki sang wickedly.
After quickly scanning the half filled room to make sure only the Bellas were looking, AJ came out with a shit-eating grin on her face, closely followed by Paige.
"You're really not subtle." Nikki informed them both.
"Don't really care either." Paige winked, fixing her messed up hair a bit as she wandered over to their table. "Hey Brie."
"Hey." Brie smiled. "Just ignore Nikki, I think we were the only ones to hear anything."
"Good to know." Paige smiled back cheekily, making Brie's heart flutter a little.
AJ's voice suddenly called from the entrance to Catering. She'd snook off without saying anything, not particularly wanting to interact with Nikki since the two of them didn't really get along that well. "You coming Paige?"
"Hang on a sec." Paige called back before turning to the Bellas again. "See you later my little pumpkins, sorry if I hurt your ears." She stuck her tongue out at them both then skipped off towards AJ before either of them had a chance to say anything back.
Brie sighed. "Why do I have to like the person that's busy fucking someone else? I hate this."
"Don't worry, you're gonna get her." Nikki smirked. "And I'm gonna help you do it."
WELL WELL what do we have here? Guess you'll find out soon, I'll try to keep my updating consistent with this one.
