Another request from nyelator. Hope it's not too late for it and I'm so sorry for be so late with this. I don't want to go into a lot of detail, but a bunch of things got in the way from this being done. Just...a lot going on right now.
But anyway, hope you and everyone else enjoys!
Update(Jan. 31, 2017): After reading the comments, I decided to redo the first chapter. Thanks PrincessLala95 for some ideas on how to edit this. I also thank you guys for the amazing comments in general. Warmed my heart and I hope everyone will enjoy this story. I apologize for taking so long: life plus my short attention span and focus does not equal well. I will try my best to get the second chapter up as quickly as I can.
"Okay, what can I get?" Alexa whispered to herself as he walked around the small home.
She was currently in the home of Brie Bella and her husband Daniel Bryan. Brie is a famous tennis player; winning many trophies for first, second and third place at least twice in various tournaments. When Alexa heard that Brie was going away on vacation with her husband, she knew this was her chance.
This was Alexa's big break. For a long time, she's been only stealing from common everyday people. This time, she was stealing from a famous athlete. There's no telling the treasures that await her.
She wasn't too shocked to pull up to a ranch home. She's read that Brie likes simple things, not wanting extravagant things like her twin sister.
Whatever, as long as she gets some treasure from this place.
She picks the lock of the back door and enters the house. Quickly getting her flashlight from her backpack and turning it on, she slowly walks around the house, looking for something of value. So far, there's nothing much.
She ventures into one of the rooms, her guess is a dressing room since there's a vanity, a jewelry thing, a cabinet, and a rack with dresses. Good place to start.
But…something on the vanity catches her attention.
She walks over and notices a blank card folded up. As she opens it, her blood boils.
This…is a calling card…
A VERY familiar calling card…
Fucking Eva Marie!
That woman got here first! Damn her!
After ripping up the card and tossing the pieces around the room, she looks around for something to take. After finding nothing, she notices a closet near the door. She opens it to reveal some more clothes and some purses. Expensive brands too.
Least it's something.
Breaking news: a robbery occurred in the home of tennis player Brie Bella and her husband Daniel Bryan. Police reports that jewelry and purses were stolen, but are unsure how many thieves broke into the home. One was defiantly Eva Marie, who left her calling card behind after she fled the scene. But they suspect more was involved when the calling card was found to be torn apart. We will update when more information is discovered.
Alexa groans as she flicks the news station off, changing the channel to some HGTV show.
God damn Eva! Fuck her for getting there first!
The two have been in this feud for a while now. Feels like anytime Alexa targets a house, Eva's already been there and sacked the joint of all the good stuff. She did get lucky this time though, but other times, nope!
Her cell then goes off, a special ringtone meaning her friend Carmella was calling. Carmella was her best friend, well…her only friend, in town.
"Hey!" she cheers as she answers the phone.
"Hey girl! Heard about last night."
"Yeah." Alexa sighs. "Fucking Eva got there first, but I did manage to grab some of those Coach purses."
"Nice! Least Eva didn't screw you this time."
"I guess. Still pissed she got there first though."
"Anyway, I called to see if you heard a rumor about a man with a rare ring."
"…No, don't believe I heard anything about that."
"Well apparently, there's a man in town with this super rare ring. Supposedly it's been pasted down his family for generations, and worth thousands of dollars."
Alexa smirked. "Where does this man live?"
Alexa pulled up to the house that night. Carmella was able to get the house location that afternoon and helped Alexa get there for the heist.
This was a two-story home, traditional looking, nothing too outstanding to be fair.
She parked the car a few feet away and headed for the back of the house. She carefully got the door picked and entered the house. Turning on her trusty flashlight, she walked through and looked for the ring in question. Per the rumor, it was a silver band with a dark blue stone.
No sign of it on the first floor, fuck.
She did notice pictures on the mantle in the living room, finding herself drawn to them. One was of two bald men and one male with short brown hair, smiling at what looks like a bar around them. There was another of the three and another male with short dirty blonde hair playing skeeball at some arcade. They looked to be enjoying themselves.
All the pictures featured those four guys and an orange haired woman in some form. Were they family? Close friends?
Don't know, don't care.
…Right?
Shaking her head, she left and headed upstairs.
Maybe the ring is up there.
As soon as she got to the top, she saw someone leaving one of the rooms.
Someone…with bright red hair.
Fucking Eva!
Without a second thought, she charged at the other woman, tackling her to the ground and swung away.
How dare she!
She stopped when she heard sirens from outside the house.
Oh shit, it's the cops!
She tried getting out, but she didn't get very far as she was pushed into the second-floor bathroom as soon as she got to her feet. As she looked at the doorway, she saw a man with short brown hair, wearing a pair of sweats, looking concerned.
"Stay here." he told her. "And be quiet. Wait for me to open the door." And with that, he closed the door.
Alexa decided to listen to him, thinking it's better than getting caught.
But…what was the man's name? And why did he help her?
About ten minutes later, the police left and the man let Alexa out of the bathroom. She studied him, he looked a lot like one of those men in the photos from the living room.
"It's safe now." he told her.
"Thank you, but why did you help me?" she asked, skeptical. Why in the world did this man help her avoid the cops?
"Because…I need your help."
"My help? You would ask a thief to help you?"
"Yes. I'm desperate. Something precious was taken from me and…I need help getting it back."
Alexa was…intrigued with this. It's very odd that he would go to the trouble of asking a thief to steal something back from someone else.
"How do you know I won't just keep it and sell it in a pawn shop?"
"It's not worth it to you. That won't give you much for it. Besides, I can reward you more than what a pawn shop would offer, if anything."
"What if I get a duplicate made and give you that? Taking the reward AND the pawn shop's money for the real one?"
"It's hard to completely copy it. And like I said, it's not worth it to do all of that. The pawn shop might not even take it."
"You got an answer for everything huh?"
"One of my talents." he smirks.
"So…this reward…how about the ring that's rumored to be here?"
The man frowned, "Well…I don't have it. It's…a lie. I lied to lure thieves here and hope one would be willing to help me. B-But I-I'm willing to pay you cash for helping me."
"How much?"
"Name the price."
She growled, pondering his proposal. While it sucks the ring was a fucking lie, he is willing to pay her cash in exchange for getting this item back. He must be desperate to do this; this item must be very important to him if he's going to this extreme.
And…she…didn't like the frown on his face…
What the fuck is wrong with her?! She doesn't care about this man!
She doesn't…not at all…
It's for the money.
"For five thousand dollars, I'll do it."
The man smiled brightly, hugging her small frame tightly. "Thank you." he breathed. "Thank you so much."
Alexa blushed, finding herself hugging back loosely.
What was wrong with her? Seeing him happy should not be making her heart flutter. She shouldn't care so much about his emotions.
Just his money. She's making a ton of money from this.
The man let go, the bright smile still on his face. "I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm AJ, AJ Styles. What's your name? Can I see what you look like?"
Or right, the mask was still on. Guess it can't hurt to take it off.
She slowly peeled the mask over her head, fluffing her light blonde hair after freeing it from the ponytail.
"My name is Alexa Bliss."
AJ…so that's his name…
