My time
Jacob cass was backstage at RAW waiting for his match with Braun Strowman and was doing some stretches in gorilla position when becky lynch walked up to him and said "hey, how are you feeling? Y'know with your fist match on raw tonight" to which Jacob blushed a little and tried not to fumble his words before he eventually replied "oh..umm yeah i..i'm a little nervous but maybe you could wish me luck before my match tonight"
Becky simply chuckled a little before she replied "good luck, and if it helps i used to feel like you once when i was called up from NXT" to which Jacob's heart raced and started breathing faster as he replied "t..thanks, m..maybe i could see you around and w..we could have lunch together or something" before his music hit and becky motioned for him to go out there so Jacob did just that as he walked through the curtain to a surprising loud crowd reception before Jacob then slowly made his way down the ramp and into the ring.
Then Braun's music hit as he stormed down to the ring and climbed onto the apron before stepping over the top rope into the ring and the referee soon called for the bell to the ring and Jacob charged at strowman out of the gates landing a flurry of forearms and kicks before Braun shrugged him off sending Jacob across the ring before he then scrambled back to his feet ready to come at strowman again and tried to psyche himself up before he charged at Braun again only to be caught with a big boot turning him inside out before strowman then quickly lifted Jacob off the mat and over his shoulder and slammed him down with a running powerslam.
The match was over and Jacob laid there on the mat staring up at the lights before he then slowly sat up as the crowd cheered him on before he then slowly rolled under the bottom rope and up the ramp before he then walked through the curtain backstage where Becky then came up to him and said "hey there, tough loss but you looked good out there" and Jacob looked at becky with his head down and replied "i feel like i just got run over by a military grade tank, but the crowd seemed to like me" before he then continued to walk towards the locker room as becky couldn't help but feel bad for him.
After Jacob had come out of the showers and sat there on the bench getting changed before becky then slowly walked in and sat next to him and said "don't beat yourself up to hard ok? You did good, just unfortunate that management had to feed you to Braun, and if you're still up to it i would still like to have lunch with you sometime" that made Jacob smile a little as he looked at becky and replied "thanks becky, that means a lot and yeah i would love to have lunch with you sometime" before they both then exchanged phone numbers with each other.
The next night on RAW Jacob was backstage in gorilla position getting ready for his moment of bliss segment before he heard alexa saying "so please welcome my guest at this time, JACOB CASS" so he walked through the curtain and on to the stage where he then took his seat next to alexa with a mic before alexa looked at him and said "wow, after getting a good look at you in person, Jacob i have to say those are some incredible abs of yours" to which Jacob blushed a little as he replied "why thank you alexa, and i'll have to say you're looking quite beautiful this evening alexa" to which alexa blushed a little in her reply "aww, thank you, now i'll do a deal with you, you show me those incredible abs of yours and i'll show you something..." before she was then interrupted by dean ambrose who came out and said "alexa, i'm so sorry but my match with your guest here is up next"
After the commercial break both dean and Jacob were in the ring having quite the heated match with each other and Jacob went for a super kick but dean reversed it as he rolled him up and hit dirty deeds and got the win and dean celebrated before he then looked at Jacob who was laying on the mat and helped him up to his feet and raised his arm in the air as the crowd cheered before they both shook hands with each other and left the ring and Jacob was still feeling a little confused by the whole situation so when they got backstage Jacob went up to dean and tapped him on the shoulder and said "hey wait up, i just want to ask why you raised my hand even though you won the match" and dean stopped and faced Jacob and replied "kid, you put on one hell of a show out there and even though i may have won the match you gave me the toughest fight of my career so far so that's why i raised your hand tonight"
Later Jacob came back from the showers and got changed and grabbed his bags and was on his way out of the arena when he was stopped by becky and alexa who said "hey, we saw your match tonight and we want to say that was an amazing performance you put out there and it sucks you didn't get the win" and Jacob couldn't help but smile at them both before he replied "ladies, i really appreciate the support but for the second week in a row i have lost and i just need to be on my own and think about where i can go from here" before he then left in his car.
Jacob then sat in his hotel that night watching his match with dean over and over while eating a tub of ben and jerry's ice cream thinking about how he could improve when suddenly he heard a knock on his hotel door so he went to answer it thinking to himself "huh, i wonder who it could be, i'm not expecting anyone" and as he opened the door to his surprise was becky lynch standing therein her orange relentlass t shirt and blue jeans with some black boots before becky said "can i come in?" and Jacob stood to one side and his heart started to race as he replied "uhh, yeah of course becky, come in what's up?"
After becky walked in Jacob closed the door behind her and quickly switched off the tv and sat next to becky on the bed as becky turned to him and said "are you sure you're ok? What were you watching anyway?" and Jacob faked a smile at becky as he replied "i'm fine becky and i really appreciate you coming over to check on me and i wasn't really watching anything on the tv anyway" before becky then shifted a little closer to Jacob as she looked at him in the eyes and said "you were watching your match with dean just now weren't you? And i can tell when something is up, so come on tell me" and jacob's heart sank a little as he turned to face becky with a frown on his face as he replied "your right becky, i was watching my match with dean over and over whilst thinking about what i could do to improve but maybe i'm not cut out for the main roster yet and that i should go back to NXT"
Becky then wrapped a arm around Jacob as she replied "hey, i know you're not doing the best right now but i think you deserve to be here on the main roster as you work harder than everyone else and i think what you need is a little motivation to give you that edge you need" before she then pulled up a couple of bottles of beer as Jacob looked at her with a confused look on his face as he replied "umm, i'm not sure how beer is supposed to help me win becks" and becky just chuckled as she replied "the beer isn't supposed to help you win silly, it's supposed to help you relax"
Soon both becky and Jacob were laughing uncontrollably before Jacob then tried to say without laughing "anyway, i still owe you that lunch we talked about last week" before becky then leaned towards Jacob and their lips were inches apart before becky whispered into jacob's ear "aye, ye do and i'll text you what time to meet but for now we should just relax and enjoy ourselves" before both becky and Jacob then collapsed onto the bed giggling until they eventually drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Jacob got changed into his workout clothes and quietly left his hotel room and went to the gym and he bumped into charlotte in the elevator and they stood apart from each other as the elevator slowly went down the levels before charlotte then turned to Jacob and said "can i ask you something? Are you and becky a thing? Because you two have been getting close to each other these past couple of weeks" to which jacob's heart started beating faster before he said "n-no me and becky are not a thing we are just good friends and that she came over to check on me after i lost to dean last night"
The elevator then arrived on the ground floor opposite the gym and both charlotte and Jacob stepped out and walked to the door of the gym before charlotte stopped and turned to face Jacob as she replied "you know, it's ok if you and becky are a thing, because i've seen the way you interact with each other backstage and to tell you the truth i think it's kinda cute" and Jacob let charlotte walk into the gym before he followed in behind her as he replied "well, me and becky were thinking of having lunch together and just see where things went from there you know? I want to take things one step at a time and i don't want to rush anything"
A few minutes later becky then joined them in the gym and she saw Jacob and charlotte lifting weights together before Jacob went and sat by a wall so she went and sat next to him and said "hey, what did you and charlotte talk about just now? Did she upset you?" and Jacob turned to becky and smiled as he replied "no charlotte didn't upset me don't worry, and she wanted to talk to me to see if me and you were a thing and i told her we were just good friends and that you came to my hotel last night to check on me after my loss against dean" becky's heart then started to race as she replied "a thing? Ye mean like a couple? I mean i only met you a couple of weeks ago and i know we are going to have lunch together but i didn't think it would do any harm between friends" becky then quickly walked off with a blush on her face as Jacob tried to talk to her saying "BECKY, WAIT" before then chasing after her.
Eventually Jacob caught up to becky sitting on a bench in the park and sat down next to her and pulled out a sandwich from his bag and said "here, i know you didn't text me or anything saying we could meet up but i thought i would comeand find you and i know it's not much but at least we can have lunch together" becky then took the sandwich and smiled as she looked at Jacob and replied "thanks, and i'm sorry for the way i reacted earlier but we are just friends and i didn't think there would be any harm with us having lunch together that's all" Jacob then placed a arm around becky as he replied "i know becks, but charlotte only thought we were a thing because she had seen the way we interact with each other backstage and she thought it was kinda cute"
Later becky arrived on RAW and noticed Jacob wasn't there so she text him "hey where r u, becks" and she didn't have to wait too long for a reply when her phone chirped with a text back from Jacob reading "at home. Didn't feel well. Cass" just then becky bumped into nikki cross who said "everything ok becky?" to which becky looked up at nikki with a worried look on her face as she replied "no, yesterday my friend Jacob and i had lunch together in the park and now he hasn't shown up for RAW and i'm really worried about him" to which nikki gave becky a hug before she then replied "it's ok becky, i'll go with you to see him an find out what's wrong" becky then faintly smiled at nikki as she replied "thank you so much nikki, let's go" before they then both left the arena together.
Becky then knocked on Jacobs hotel room and when she didn't hear a reply she tried again before she then faintly heard "come in, it's open" coming from inside so becky slowly pushed open the door as her and nikki went inside before they then found Jacob sitting on his bed munching a tub of ice cream before they then sat either side of him before becky then looked at Jacob in the eyes and said "what's wrong? Please tell me i'm worried about ya" to which Jacob then looked at becky with a faint smile as he replied "i'm fine becks, i just didn't feel well that's all must have been something in those sandwiches we had"
Nikki then placed a arm on Jacob's shoulder and said "what's really wrong, becky told me everything" to which Jacob then looked at nikki before he replied "well, ok it's about what charlotte said to me yesterday and i had been thinking about it all day and i know me and becky are just good friends but i can't help but wonder if me and becky should try to be something more than just friends" to which becky then smiled at Jacob as she replied "i'm willing to try if ye are Jacob" that made Jacob have some tears in his eyes as he looked at becky and replied "yeah, of course i'm willing to try becks"
2 hours later...
Becky and Jacob arrived back on RAW with nikki when a member of management came up to Jacob and told him he would be answering the open challenge for the united states championship and Jacob was happy to hear the news and went to get ready in gorilla position when he bumped into alexa who gave him a bunch of flowers and said "thought these might help cheer you up a bit after last week" to which Jacob smiled at alexa as he replied "aww, thanks alexa you shouldn't have but do you mind holding on to them as i have to go out there and try to win the united states championship" before he then walked through the curtain as his music played.
As Jacob was making his way to the ring becky and nikki were watching on a monitor backstage and mid way through the match becky couldn't contain her excitement as Jacob got a near fall on the champ Samoa joe as she thought to herself "that's it, just a bit more you've got this" then Jacob saw his opportunity as he backed into a corner begging for Samoa joe to get back to his feet before he then charged out of the corner and hit joe with a spear and went for the pin and the referee slapped the mat as he counted "1.." "2.." "3.." the bell rang and Greg the announcer at ringside said "ladies and gentlemen here is your winner and the NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION, JACOB CASS" and becky was jumping up and down backstage as the referee handed Jacob the championship.
When Jacob got backstage with his belt over his shoulder he took the flowers from alexa as becky ran up to him in a hug and said "congratulations, i knew ya could do it" and Jacob returned the hug as he replied with tears in his eyes "i couldn't have done it without the support from you becks" then becky noticed the flowers Jacob was holding as she said "who are these from?" to which Jacob smiled as he replied "alexa, gave these to me before my match with Samoa joe as she thought i was still upset from last week" and becky simply returned the smile as she said "c'mon then, let's go celebrate" as they walked down the hallway to the parking lot.
