OK, so because I got a good response, I'm starting a story following up the events of 'A Midnight Kiss'. Really, it doesn't matter if you haven't read it because you might still understand the story but I suggest you do, just incase.

Chapter 1: Maryse - The Enemy

So, we all know what happened on New Years Eve/Day, do I need to go over? No I don't, there's not much too it really. But anyway, we're going to pick up from the following Tuesday at the Smackdown tapings.

Jeff stood outside Maria's locker room, where she said she'd be in 10 minutes. He heard footsteps behind him and he spun around.

"Oh, it's you," Jeff sighed. He was facing Maryse, he didn't want anything to do with her, not after their last encounter.

"Don't look at me like that Jeffery, I know you want more," she said, walking up close to him.

"Excuse me, but I don't think anybody likes whores anymore!" Maria said, folding her arms behind her. Maryse turned around in shock.

"Whore?" she asked. "Did you just call me a whore?" She repeated.

"Hell yeah! And I'm not afraid to say it again!" Maria said, squaring up with Maryse.

"Forget it," Maryse shrugged and walked to her locker room, accompanied with an 'I'm watching you' sign.

"Nice one," Jeff complimented, giving Maria a high five.

"Want to get some food?" Maria asked. Jeff nodded.

Maryse walked into the cafeteria where she saw Maria's good friends from RAW, Mickie, Candice and John Cena. She walked over to them and sat next to them.

"What are you looking at?" Mickie asked.

"No need to be rude, just sitting down," Maryse replied.

"Don't play that game, Maria's told us all about you, and from what I've seen so far, she's damn well right," Candice said.

"Well, you know what else she said?" Maryse asked, giving an evil grin.

"We're not interested if it's about you," John said before taking a bite out of his burger.

"You'll be glad to know that it's not about me, you wont be too happy to hear it's about you guys," Maryse didn't give the trio a chance to reply, she continued with her lie.

"She spread rumours around the locker room about you guys, about how you blackmailed her, treated her terribly, gave her that bruise on her arm, there's loads more,"

"Yeah right. Maria would never do that to us!" John said.

"You're just a big fat liar! Well, forget the fat," Candice said. Maria and Jeff walked in at that very moment.

"I'll get the food," Jeff said while Maria angrily charged over to Maryse.

"What did you tell my friends?" she asked.

"The truth, it's what you said isn't it?" Maryse said and walked away. She blew Jeff a kiss along the way.

"What did she say?" Maria hated Maryse and everything about her, she knew whatever she told her friends wasn't true.

"You didn't really say those things, did you?" Maria looked at Mickie with a confused face. "About us blackmailing you, treating you badly…which are far from the truth by the way," Mickie explained.

"Is that what she said? Don't believe that big mouthed bitch!" Maria said.

"We don't believe her, we're just checking," Jeff walked over to them.

"Here's your salad," he said, handing a plastic bowl full of salad to Maria. Maria sat down and chewed at the salad ferociously.

"Is it your time of the month?" John asked.

"No! I'm just still angry at Maryse, why does she hate me?" Maria asked.

"Because you're the perfect woman," Jeff said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Maria smiled.

"Plus, she's-" Candice started but Mickie interrupted her.

"Don't get started on your insults, you wont stop!" she laughed.

Victoria walked passed the group who were laughing and tapped Jeff on the shoulder.

"Maryse wants to see you," she said.

"Tell her I don't want to see her," Jeff groaned.

"She wants to see you, when Maryse wants something she gets it!" Victoria shouted. Jeff ignored her and carried on eating.

"Are you listening to me?!" Victoria asked.

"Jesus, don't you understand English? Let me say this slowly: I…do not…want to see…Maryse!" Jeff said slowly, as if Victoria couldn't understand the language.

"No, I understand English, what I don't understand is, when you had the choice 1 or 2 months ago to be with, us and Maryse," Victoria pointed to her and Natalya. "You chose to go with…her," Victoria added.

"Maybe it's because Maria isn't a backstabbing - never mind, I really shouldn't say that. Anyway, remember what happened '1 or 2 months ago'? I don't think you do," Jeff said. Maria grabbed Jeff's arm.

"What happened?" she whispered.

"I'll tell you later," he whispered back.

"I suggest you get back to your own life before meddling with ours, know why? Because if you don't, something terrible is going to happen," Maria threatened. Victoria and Natalya walked over to another table.

Maria looked at the time.

"I got to go get ready, my match is soon, see you lot later!" Maria said and hopped down to her dressing room. Maryse watched her go inside and thought it was time to make her move.

She messed up her hair and washed up all her make up. Instead she put on some different make up to make herself look quite pale. She smiled at herself in the mirror.

"I look horrible but it'll all pay off," she whispered.

She tiptoed into Maria's dressing room. Maria was getting her hair curled but she got up out of her chair when she saw Maryse.

"Get out of my room!" Maria shouted.

"I haven't done anything to you," Maryse replied.

"I said get out of my room!" Maria repeated.

"Make me," Maryse said.

Maria was driven to a point where she couldn't take Maryse 'intellect' anymore. She pushed her out into the hallway and hit her repeated.

"Get off of me!" Maryse shouted. Maria couldn't stop, she was so angry, she just kept on hitting her.

Maryse didn't expect Maria to get this angry, she wasn't usually like that.

"Seriously stop! This really hurts!" Maryse admitted, shouting for her life. Maria pinned her up on the wall.

"That was for all the hurt you caused," Maria said breathlessly. When she let go, Maryse fell to the fall. Maria walked out into the arena as it was time for her match, she didn't have time to get ready.

Maryse put a hand on her nose, it was bleeding. She stumbled into the cafeteria where all the wrestlers noticed how she looked. Natalya walked over to her.

"What happened to you?" she asked. Maryse turned around and saw Jeff, John, Mickie and Candice staring at her.

Maryse - completely ignoring Natalya - walked over to them.

"See what Maria did?" she asked, pointed to her nose.

"You deserve it," Candice scoffed.

Suddenly, Maryse collapsed onto the table.

"Whoa!" The 4 shocked wrestlers shouted.
