Author's Note: I just love Wade and Maryse, so I decided to make a fic about them. So, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own WWE.
A Raw episode had just finished. Maryse was on her way to one of the local bars where the other Superstars were to have a little party. The Raw diva had dressed casually; a plain blue fitting top, a pair of skinny jeans and sandals. She actually forgot that there even was a party so she didn't pack anything "dressy" for that occasion.
With her was her good friend Michelle McCool. Off-screen, the two divas got along pretty well. Just like her friend Maryse, Michelle had forgotten all about the party so she was dressed up in something casual as well.
"So, you ready?" Michelle asked as they stopped in front of the bar.
Maryse nodded her head. "Yeah. Just remember, one of us has to be sober enough to drive back to the hotel."
"That or we could just ask someone else to drive us there. It's a party Maryse, let's have some fun!"
"All right, all right. Let's go."
Michelle smiled at her friend and led her inside the bar.
It was already jam-packed with WWE Superstars; the bar was actually closed off that night for the party. Inside, some were already drinking, some started dancing and unfortunately for others, there was a karaoke machine which most wrestlers had already tried out. And some of them weren't that good either.
"Welcome to the party, girls!" They were greeted by a very hyper Miz.
"Hey there, Miz; you know, for someone who just got beaten up pretty badly earlier tonight, you seem to be in a really good mood." Michelle said.
The Raw Superstar shrugged. "Yeah well, I just love parties. Gotta be the best that I can be at them. Now if you'll excuse me, I believe it is my turn at the karaoke machine."
"Let's find a booth reeeeaaaallly far away from the karaoke machine okay, Chelle?" Maryse whispered once the Miz was gone.
"No complaints here."
The two were able to find a booth where some of the other divas were. Luckily, there was music playing near them so it covered up Miz's singing of "Accidentally in Love".
"So, Michelle, how's Undertaker- er- I mean- Mark doing? He still injured?" Layla asked once Michelle and Maryse had sat down.
"He's ok. He should be back before Wrestlemania, he wanted to come to the party but I told him to stay put and rest."
"That seems pretty mean, Chelle." Melina said.
"No, it's only proper that he gets some rest. I don't want him getting hurt again."
"Awwww, that's so sweet!" Natalya exclaimed.
"What can I say? I care about the big guy."
"Excuse me girls, but I wanna get a drink before Michelle gets even mushier and blushes like crazy."
"Hey, it can't be helped."
Maryse stood up, smiled at Michelle, and then went to get a drink. But before she even got her drink, she bumped into someone. Maryse looked up and saw the former Nexus leader and now current member of the Corre, Wade Barrett.
The Englishman looked at the diva in front of him then smiled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you. Just wanted to get away from Miz, one can only take so much of that guy's singing."
"It's all right. I know how you feel."
There was an awkward silence between the two. It was the first time that they ever really spoke to one another outside the WWE. Fortunately, Maryse broke the silence.
"You went up against a LOT of Superstars awhile ago, right? Are you hurt or anything?"
"No, I'm quite all right. Some bruises here and there but I'll live." Wade smiled at Maryse.
"So, the Corre, huh? A force to be reckoned with on Smackdown." Maryse laughed.
"Yes, well, you'll just have to wait and see how tough the Corre really is."
"…Oh, then good luck with that. Maybe you won't get hit by 23 steel chairs again." Maryse winked at the Englishman then giggled again.
Wade smirked. "Well then, I'll see you around, Maryse. Hopefully you won't bump into anyone else."
"Yeah sure. That seems impossible with a bunch of muscular men drinking 'till they can't drink no more."
The two then went their separate ways.
Wade went back to his booth where of Randy Orton, John Morrison, Heath Slater also were. John and Heath were singing along with what Miz was singing but soon gave up when they realized how awwweeeeful the Miz really sounded.
"Well?" Randy asked the Englishman who had just seated himself beside the Viper.
"Well what?" Wade asked.
"Come on, Wade! We saw you with Maryse, you were all smiling and laughing with her. Something up?" Slater said.
The former Nexus leader waved them off. "There is nothing with me and Maryse. That was the first time we actually spoke to one another since I joined RAW."
"But do you LIKE her? That's what we wanna know my friend." John Morrison said as everyone waited for Wade's answer.
"No. She's just a friend, a co-worker. Although…"
Everyone leaned in closer to hear what else their friend had to say.
"Well, back when I was still in FCW, I saw Maryse training there since, we were both in the FCW, you see. I wanted to ask her out a few times but I couldn't really get myself to actually do it."
"And why's that?" Heath asked.
"I'm not sure, really. Afraid she'd say no, maybe."
"Well, now sooner or later you're gonna have to ask her before another guy does." Randy pointed out.
"I know, I know. But come on, there'll be other times when I can talk to her."
"Uh-huh, whatever you say, Wade." Morrison said then took another sip from his drink.
Maryse had finally gotten her drink after bumping into a very drunk Sheamus. She should have seen him coming really. Well now, she was seated back at her booth with the other divas.
"Oh, hey Maryse. Got some bad news." Michelle said once Maryse sat down.
"What is it?"
"I gotta go now. I forgot that I have a flight early in the morning and I haven't even packed yet. Is it ok if I take that car we rented and go ahead? I can't miss this flight."
"Let me guess, you're on your way back to see Mark?"
Michelle nodded her head. "That's right."
"Then go ahead. I'll find another way to get to the hotel and I'll meet you there."
The Smackdown diva hugged her friend tight, said thank you, waved goodbye to the others then left the bar.
The party continued; a few had already left; most were going back to the hotel. The Miz had finally stopped singing and everybody had cheered, though Miz thought it was because of how awwwweeeesoooome he had sung. Others like CM Punk and Alberto went back to the hotel because they didn't want to get such a bad hangover in the morning.
Most of the divas had already left as well. The only ones left were Layla and Maryse. The former already looked sleepy so Maryse insisted that she go ahead with Tamina who was just leaving with Santino and Vladimir.
"You sure, Maryse? I could stay." Layla said then began to yawn.
"Lay, I think you should head back. I'm fine, really. Miz is still here and since he spent most of the night singing, he didn't drink that much which means he could take me to the hotel."
Layla nodded her head, said goodbye then left with the WWE Tag team Champions and Tamina.
Now that all the other divas were gone, Maryse went to sit with some of the other Superstars. She passed by Wade's booth and noticed that there was an empty space beside the Englishman.
"Hey, is it ok if I sit with you guys?" she asked.
"Yes, yes, of course you can. No problem." Wade said.
But just before the former divas champion could sit down, Randy came and sat down.
"Oh, hey there Maryse. How's it goin?" The Viper asked.
"Fine. Just fine. Guess I'll find another booth." Maryse smiled at them then left.
Once she was gone, Wade glared at the Apex Predator who in return, raised his eyebrows.
"What?" Randy innocently asked.
"Maryse was supposed to sit there." Wade said in a very angry voice.
"But this is my seat, Wade. I'm not gonna give it up just so you could be with a girl you can't even ask out."
"I wanted her to sit with me so I could talk to her and ask her out."
"Should have given me the heads-up or something. Now let's stop this before I give you the RKO, all right?"
Wade sighed and dropped the whole argument. He took a quick glance at Maryse who was now with Miz, Alex Riley, and Sheamus.
Maryse talked to her friends until she finally got tired. It was really getting late and she still had a flight to catch for an NXT show. She had wanted to wait for Miz so they could both take the car that he had rented but the Superstar wanted to stay a little more…. So he could sing more. The diva opted to go back to the hotel herself. She could get a cab or walk there since it was only a few blocks away. She bid goodbye to her friends then left the party.
Jo-Mo had noticed Maryse leaving the bar then faced his friends.
"Maryse is leaving and no one's with her. Can anyone see the perfect opportunity? You could ask her out AND offer to take her back to the hotel. It's PERFECT!" he said.
Everyone looked at Wade who in return sighed then, seeing no point in arguing with his friends who actually had a good point, went after Maryse.
She was just about to walk away when Wade called her.
"Maryse! Wait up!"
The former divas champion stopped then faced him.
"Hey, Wade. You need something?"
"Well I was just wondering if-"
"Maryse, good, you're still here." It was the Miz. He went between the two and looked at Maryse.
"I'm going back to the hotel now. Wanna come?" Miz asked.
"I thought you were gonna sing till you lost your voice." Maryse smirked.
"Well that's what I wanted to do. But Sheamus threatened to put me through the table if I sang again and I do NOT want to anger a drunken Sheamus. So now I got nothing else to do."
"All right then. I'll come with you."
Before they left, Maryse faced Wade once more and asked;
"What is it you wanted to say?"
Wade paused for a few moments then answered. "Oh, I just wanted to know if you needed a ride back to the hotel. But I see that you got it covered."
"Well, thanks anyway. I'll be seeing you around." She and Miz waved goodbye then left.
Wade went back in the bar and sat with his friends once more. They were curious about what happened but they kind of new it was bad judging by the expression on the Englishman's face.
It was Randy who spoke up first.
"I'm guessing it didn't go so well, huh?"
"Nope. I didn't even get the chance to ask her out. Miz came and offered her a ride back to the hotel and that was it. She said goodbye then left."
"Sorry, man." Heath said.
"That's all right. I'm sure there will come a time when I can ask her. Just not tonight."
"Well hey, this is a party remember? I see a karaoke machine and no Miz. I say it's our turn to sing!" John said in an effort to lighten up the mood.
Heath nodded his head. "Yeah, that should get your mind off of Maryse. Come on!" The Corre member then went after Jo-Mo who was already picking a song.
"Don't worry, man. I'm sure there will be other times you can talk to her." Randy said then went to the karaoke machine.
Wade thought for a moment about what Randy had said then realized what his friend had said was right. The Englishman stood up then joined the others in singing.
