In the words of the awesome John Cena, I'm baaaaaack! :D I promised a sequel to A Diva's Courage, and here it is. I know the first chapter's short, but this is just the beginning. I'm excited to see people's thoughts on it. Enjoy!

A Diva's Heart
Chapter 1

"Brie? Brie! Snap out of it!" said Nikki, snapping her fingers in her twin's face. Brie gave a start and looked around, having briefly forgotten where she was. Her and her sister were in the Diva's locker room getting ready for a match with AJ and Tamina. Things had calmed down quite a bit since the rebellion. Now, Triple H and Stephanie were hardly seen on RAW. But Brie still didn't feel right. Ever since her encounter with Randy before her wedding, she couldn't seem to get him out of her mind. He was constantly there, his sharp, blue eyes piercing in the back of her head. She hated him, but...there was something else there too. Something she couldn't quite explain. "Hey, are we doing this, or not?" asked Nikki impatiently, referring to their match. Shaking herself yet again, Brie slammed her locker shut and followed Nikki to the door. When they opened it though, they found their path blocked by Kharma. She smiled at them creepily.

"Hello, little girls." she greeted in a chilling voice. The Bellas automatically tensed for a fight.

"Look, Kharma, we don't want any trouble. Triple H's power is gone." Brie tried to reason.

"Oh, I know that." Kharma replied, still grinning maniacly. "But just because he's gone, doesn't mean our problems are over. If I'm not mistaken, you two weren't very nice to me last time we talked."

"Times have changed." countered Nikki.

Kharma shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't mean I won't get my revenge. I'll see you girls later." She threw back her braided head and laughed evilly before turning and walking down the hall, her laugh echoing back to the stunned Bella twins.

I guess, all I can say is...I've fallen in love with you Brie...

One lapse in concentration was all it took and Tamina had Brie pinned. The unlikely pair won and Brie cursed herself. How could she be so...so...stupid! She was a newly married woman and all she could think about was Randy and the things he'd said to her. Why? What was wrong with her?

That's the question Nikki kept asking, but Brie had no answer for it, so she just shook her head and said she didn't know. They changed back into their street clothes quickly at the end of the show. "You need a ride home?" asked Nikki.

"No, I'm going home with Daniel tonight." she replied, forgetting about Randy for a moment, a sly grin crossing her face. "What happens after that, I'll leave to your imagination."

Nikki grinned, understanding. "Alright, you two have fun." she replied, before walking out of the locker room. With Nikki gone, Brie's smile slid from her face and she sighed, gathering her things into her duffel bag, zipping it up and going out into the hall to wait for her new husband. It was eerily empty there, with only a few flourescent lights still on, barely illuminating the stark, white walls of the lengthy hall. Oh, please get here soon Daniel. she thought, hating being alone. She leaned against the wall, her black-heeled foot tapping anxiously on the linoleum floor. Where was he? She needed to distract herself until he came, so she pulled out her phone and started playing Angry Birds. She was so absorbed in it, that she didn't notice the footsteps approaching, or maybe he was just that good at stealth.

"Hello Brie." greeted a cool, familiar voice that pitted ice in her stomach and lit a fire in her heart at the same time. She jumped, her phone slipping from her hands and clattering loudly on the floor. She crouched, scooped it up, and straightened quickly before meeting the light sapphire eyes looking down on her. Dang, he was tall.

"Uh, hi." she replied awkwardly, unable to look away from his eyes. They were so...piercing. There wasn't any other way to describe them.

"Waiting for someone?" he asked, smirking.

Suddenly, she was back to herself again, the way she'd been when she was leading the fight against the authority. "Yeah, my husband. So you can just go about your business-" she was cut off when his hand raised to her face and pressed gently to her cheek. It felt so warm, it was distracting. So distracting, that she almost didn't catch his next words to her.

"Brie, I know you're married, but I've decided that I don't care. I love you, and I want you." he leaned closer so that his face was mere inches from her's. Her breath caught. "And what I want, I take." Abruptly, his lips were on her's, causing the heat in her chest to spread to the point where she felt like there was a fire raging beneath her skin. It was intense and overwhelming. So much more powerful than the gentle warmth she felt when she kissed Daniel. Just when she thought she couldn't stand it anymore, he pulled away, smiling like the Apex Predator he was. Brie was too stunned for words. "Just thought I should let you know that. Think about it, Bella." He walked past her then, continuing down the hall. For a while, Brie just stood there, frozen in shock. Did that just happen? What did it mean? Finally, she lifted her phone and texted a quick message to Daniel, asking where he was. She decided that she would pretend that never happened and move on. If she ignored the problem, it would go away, right? And Daniel didn't ever need to know.

Only her problem wouldn't simply go away. Not when the Heart Break Kid was standing just around the corner, and had seen and heard everything. No, Brie Bella's problem was just beginning.
