Olivia Lou James groaned and struggled as she sat on her suitcase trying to zip it up. She had always been known to over pack but it was getting slightly ridiculous. She had finally gotten the zipper half when her phone rang and she fell over to the floor straddled.
"Damn it." She sighed as she crawled over to the nightstand next to her bed and grabbed her phone. "Hello?" She answered sitting back and resting against the bed.
Anna tried to stifle a giggle hearing Liv's voice. "You are still packing." She said matter-of-factly
"NO!" Liv lied.
"Bullshit." Anna said laughing. She knew the girl well. Anna rolled her eyes at her boyfriend.
"Okay fine, I still am. What of it?"
"I just know you well. You should really stop over packing." Anna could have almost a month's worth of things packed into two bags which was more than most of the females.
"I dont over pack. I just need alot of stuff. Besides I only have..." Liv looked around her room and counted. "One..two...three...six bags."
"SIX BAGS!" Anna asked sitting up her eyes widening. The men who were near her in catering gave her odd looks.
Liv dropped her phone on the phone and held her head. She pressed the speaker button and groaned. "No yelling into the phone."
Anna rolled her eyes. "Okay fine. How are you?" She asked raising a brow as she watched her boyfriend dance around.
"I'm fine just really need this vacation. And what is that in the background?" Liv asked.
"John is being an idiot." Anna said raising her voice enough for John to hear her. "God I feel like I'm working with damn pre-schoolers."
"You might not want them to hear that. Remember what happened the last time you said that with them in hearing distance?"
Anna rolled her eyes and got up to run then she jumped slapping John upside the back of his head. "They don't want to piss me off today."
Liv giggled hearing running in the background and a smack. Then she heard her friend's voice once more. "Don't kill your boy toy Cena. And what happened today?"
"Stupid fucking newbies." Anna huffed causing Liv to giggle more.
Anna was a writer for the World Wrestling Entertainment creative team, also known as simply the WWE. The two had met up one afternoon during lunch in catering. Olivia was doing an interview with John Morrison, she being the top Reporter for Entertainment tonight; and Anna was waiting for word on if she was to be hired. They amazingly got along great and been pretty close ever since.
"I'm sorry but there will always be newbies."
"Yeah well it doesn't help with the damn traveling and these boys acting like DAMN CHILDREN." She pulled away from the phone to yell at the men who were getting on her nerves.
"I know, I know. But you know my job is the same. I had train someone while on the move. From New York, to Texas, to Paris, then China. I don't have time to babysit them for you." Liv smiled.
Anna pouted and spoke in her pouting tone. "Make time."
"No pouting." Liv shook her head.
"Fine be a meanie." Anna said. "And don't shake your head at me." She laughed and heard Liv do the same on the other end of the phone. "So you sure you have everything? And I don't mean the ten bags of clothes your trying to pack. I mean your ticket, papers for work, laptop, camera….."
"Its six bags thank you very much and Anna I've traveled all over the world. New York, Texas…." Liv started to rattle off.
"I swear if you start to name those damn cities again I'm going to choke you with your hand bag when you get here."
"Oooh foreplay." Liv joked.
"God I can't believe your my best female friend.." Anna said rolling her eyes and shooting a glare at her boyfriend who was making faces at her.
"But you love me so." Liv got off the floor and looked around her room.
"Yeah." Anna said then sat in comfortable silence. "So...how are you?"
"I have lots to tell you but I'll wait until tomorrow."
"Same here."
"So did you speak to…" Liv started to ask.
"AHH!" Anna yelled as she got picked up and thrown over John's shoulder and he took her phone.
Liv eyes widen. "Anna are you okay? ANNA?"
"Anna is fine for now, but she needs to have a private…conversation with the Doctor of Thuganomics. See you tomorrow Liv." John hung up.
Liv burst out into giggles putting her phone down. "I swear those two." She shook her head and looked around her room at the other 6 bags and sighed. "I guess this one…" She looked at the one she was trying to close. "Doesn't need to come with me." She pushed it to the floor. "Now for shoes."
Liv went to her second closet and looked for shoes to bring until she could not stay awake any longer.
Anna sighed as she looked at her watch. "If she missed her flight because she stayed up late looking for shoes I'm going to beat her with her favorite heels."
"Oh again with the foreplay." Liv snuck up behind her and poked her in the back.
Anna jumped and turned. "LIV!" She tackled the taller woman to the ground in a hug.
Olivia groaned and hugged her back. "You know the hugging and all this foreplay means your doing something wrong John."
John rolled his eyes. "Yeah right Liv."
Anna laughed. "Missed you goofy." Using the nickname she always called Liv.
"Missed you too nutty." Liv did the same with a smile.
John cleared his throat. "As much as this view is nice to see, I don't think everyone has a taste for it." He pointed are a group of people watching them including a security guard.
The girls looked around then laughed getting up. They were use to those stares because they were very crazy people.
Once fully up John had to laugh. They both looked so different. Whereas Olivia was 5 foot 8 inches tall, Anna was barely 5 feet. Liv had shoulder length light brown hair whereas Anna had long jet black hair that fell pass her waist. Then there were the girl's eyes. Anna had a haunting but beautiful light green eyes as where Olivia had chocolate brown ones. But they felt their differences made them fit together perfectly.
John chuckled more to himself. "So these two bags are all you have Liv?"
"Yep."
Anna started to feel Liv's head and cheeks. "Are you sick Liv?"
Liv smacked her hands. "No, and I can travel light. Smart ass." She rolled her eyes.
"I know I have a nice ass. Thanks for noticing." Anna said grinning enough to flash dimples.
"I say again John you must be doing some wrong...somewhere."
"You wish Liv, now come on girls. Let's get to the arena, I have to prepare for the show tonight." Cena spoke up taking the bags and walking ahead of the women to the car.
Anna and Liv talked nonstop all the way to the arena. John quickly parked the car and got out. "Thank God."
Anna rolled her eyes as she got out of the car. "We're not that bad." She said. "At least we don't sing off key with the radio."
"Yeah." Liv added.
"Says you two. And I do not sing off key."
The girls both rolled their eyes and went inside with him. As they were walking down the hall they ran into Morrison.
"Well lookie here. The sparkly one."
"Good to see you too Liv." He hugged her.
"I thought you were injured." She asked.
"I am, but I still travel with the company."
Liv nodded. "Well I will catch up with you later Hun."
The group said their byes and the three continued down the hall.
"So Liv you plan on trying to get a story while you are here?" John asked.
"Only if it's good. Can't deal with lame shit." She admitted.
Anna just shook her head. She loved Liv but her friend had a reputation of being a bitch and a reporter not to piss off. Liv had been known to break or make some peoples careers in some of her articles.
The taller woman looked at Anna. "What? At least I'm not afraid to say it."
Anna laughed. "That is true."
"Hey man." John yelled some as he and Randy Orton slapped hands and did a 'manly' hug.
Liv looked up at the taller man. His piercing blue eyes looked in her brown ones, neither tearing away.
Anna noticed the look between the two and spoke up. "Liv I don't believe you met Randy before. Randy Orton, this is my best friend and like a sister to me, Olivia James. Liv this is the Viper Randy Orton. He's been my friend since high school."
Liv held out her hand. "Nice to meet you." She said coolly.
"Same here." He shook her hand with a small trace of his Lady Killer grin.
"Well Liv and I have to go see Vince." Anna pulled Liv down the hall causing her friend to stumble.
John looked at Randy. "Man what's up with you? Remember you're married and have a kid."
"I know...she just looked..."
John rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Where are the scripts for tonight?"
"Left them in the locker room." Randy said as he watched the girls leave. "Head to the ring and I'll bring them." He walked off without waiting for an answer."You can not go anywhere near Randy with your flirty ways." Anna said as the two walked.
Liv rolled her eyes. "I'm not trying Anna. All I said to the man was hi. What is wrong with that?"
"Liv I know you."
"So?"
"Just please stay away from Randy." Anna knocked on Vince's office door.
"I'll try to make you happy Anna."
"Thank you. Now let's go in. We're already late." The shorter woman dragged in her friend.
After the meeting with Vince about her traveling and what she could report on, she watched Raw from the locker room and met up with some of the wrestlers. Later on, around one the next morning Liv walked down the hotel hallway of her floor and up to room 567. Knocking on the door she was let in and it was closed behind her as well as the secrets that waited within.
