She reminded me of Lita, the high-flying action, the way she didn't spend too much time on her appearance or picking out a specific outfit. The way she jumped and flipped herself onto her stomach. The way she front flipped onto her opponent. Her agility and fearlessness reminded me of the genius that is Lita. The crowd was on its feet, cheering and clapping for this rookie. She was exciting to watch and had you wondering what she would do next. The gripping and thrilling action left you craving more. With the crowd chanting her name, she walked backstage with a huge smile on her ghostly face. Everybody gathered to congratulate her on winning over the crowd on her first night, very few can claim to do that. She finally walked towards me.
"Y'know it's hard to believe how far you have come since I showed you the right way to hold a headlock, bounce off the ropes and the other basics. A small town Scottish rookie has been in America two years and WWE for a year and a half and she's already made more of an impression than half of the roster." I clapped as she made her way towards me.
"Not bad for a rookie." I joked. She lightly slapped my arm. "No, in all seriousness that was so amazing that I can't explain it in a PG environment." Her cute little face lit up. The small blonde looked up at me with the greatest smile I've ever seen.
"Thanks Seth, that means so much." She leant in for a hug. I wrapped my tanned arms around her small frame. I stood like this for a minute and then decided to pick her up in a bear hug. I was lightly wrenching her closer to me. I put her down when Dean and Roman noticed me.
"You done flirting? Can we go and wrestle now?" Dean asked bitterly.
"I'm not flirting. Yes we can go wrestle... Catch you later Sapphire." I walked away before she noticed my red cheeks. We walked halfway up the stairs before anybody said anything.
"I loved that joke. You're not flirting." Roman piped up.
"Fu... Get off my back." I corrected myself as I saw a child down the hallway.
"Come on, everybody knows you like her. I'm pretty sure a blind man could see it." Dean stated.
"Yeah, well she can't see it." I said in an annoyed tone before jogging off.
"When did you start liking her?" Roman asked curiously, catching up with me.
"One night after Black and Brave Academy I met her in a coffee shop. We were both alone and I decided to find out about her. Ever since that night I've not been able to get her out my head. She's so beautiful and so..." I was cut off by Dean behind me.
"So much like Lita, your high school crush." I turned around and slapped his chest lightly.
"Hey man, Lita is so hot. I'm surprised if you didn't have a crush on her." Roman admitted.
"Yeah, but Seth had a crush on just about every diva. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a crush on the Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young." Dean and Roman joked while my face went as red as ketchup. "He ain't denying it." Dean laughed.
"And he's a tomato." Roman was about to die of laughter, as was Dean. I was left looking like an idiot. I just wanted to wrestle without a red face. I stood at the doors to go out into the crowd. Knowing that just backstage Sapphire would be watching made me really nervous. I've been trying to see if she was into me for the past two years. She's an amazing person, her appearance isn't too shabby either and she's an awesome diva. However, I needed to be focused on this match and what was happening now. That was hard with my best friends laughing at the fact that I had a crush on most of the divas. Hold up... Have you seen Stacey Kiebler, Torrie Wilson, Trisha Stratus, Sable and Lita?! They are smoking hot. The divas now are just as sexy. AJ, Paige, Natalya, Summer Rae, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Naomi are all so sexy. It's hard not to be red in the face when your friend is happy to see them.
Sapphire's Point Of View
"SIERRA HOTEL INDIA ECHO LIMA DELTA, SHIELD!" Rang throughout the building as Dean lead the way to the ring. I was excited to see Seth wrestle live from backstage. He looked so nervous on his way to the ring and even worse when he attempted a spinarooni after falling off the barricade. Only Seth. Everybody watching began to laugh loudly. Seth was a little annoyed at his fall, it was pretty funny. Luckily, he didn't fall during the match and he landed on his feet most of the time. It was, as always, an awesome match. Seth jumped all over the ring and ran around while stealthily attacking, Roman hit hard and knocked the opponents down with his hands and his arms as well as kicking them in the face with his flying basement drop kick and Dean was the one that was so unpredictable, nobody knew what he would do and the combination of hard hitting and flying moves made it hard for their opponents to create any offence. There was always a huge crowd reaction to their matches and a certain excitement that made everybody stop and watch. The match ended in the same way it began, with "SIERRA HOTEL INDIA ECHO LIMA DELTA, SHIELD" echoing through the packed arena. They each exchanged hugs and threw in the fists before emerging backstage.
"What did you think?" Seth panted before drinking a whole bottle of water.
"As always, you were horrid." I joked earning a small slap on my shoulder from him. "Nah, it was awesome. I love watching your matches because you're so exciting. The Shield is the most exciting trio I have ever seen." He smiled.
"Bring it in." He demanded holding his arms open. We wrapped our arms around each other. My head was against his chest.
"You're very sweaty and you stink." I told him, suddenly breaking the silence.
"Thanks Sapphire. I'll go shower and meet you here in a few minutes." I agreed with him. Although his few minutes are always half an hour to an hour.
I was sat on a crate outside The Shield's locker room waiting on Seth. My black and white checked Vans backpack was filled to the brim with my clothes, hair products, a towel and my chargers for my iPod and iPhone. I was wearing my ten year old grey Seth Rollins hoodie with his initials in yellow on the front, left side and "Don't sell out, buy in" written in yellow across my back. It hid my black Roman Reigns t-shirt with the back to back 'R's in navy blue across the front and "One versus all" written in navy across the top of my back. Both matched my black, baggy jeans and my black and red checked slip-on Vans shoes. I had my white CM Punk headphones plugged into my iPod. I wore the headphones over my grey billed, black Oakland Raiders snapback covered in badges. I had a silver Aerosmith Rock N' Roller Coaster badge on the front it was the Aerosmith logo with Rock N' Roller Coaster on a separate part and attached to the top with a small chain. On my left side was a black badge with #TruthAboutYouth written on it and another black badge with the Batman logo on. On my right hand side was a Perry the Platypus badge from Phineas and Ferb and Jack Skellington's face. I soon realized Paige and AJ admiring my badges from either side and lifted off my headphones before pausing State Champs on my iPod.
"Nice badges." Paige complimented.
"Thanks." I nodded in her direction.
"They're nice, but that's not why we are here." AJ was straight to the point. "What's up with you and Seth?" AJ seemed a bit hostile towards me.
"Nothing we are just really good friends. Why? Are either of you dating him? I'm sorry." I was scared, I'd never been a threat to anybody before.
"No, we were just wondering because it looks like you guys are more than friends." Paige spoke up.
"No, we are just really good friends." I reassured them.
"Wait a second, you're Scottish." Paige told me. "I love your accent."
"Thanks." I nodded again. At that moment, Seth walked out The Shield's locker room.
"Anyway we are going to go and we will see you later Sapphire." AJ and Paige waved as they headed out into the parking lot. Seth looked really confused, and also very hot. His black Glamour Kills t-shirt with the traditional flying pig on showed every nook and cranny on his abdomen. His black jeans showed a little less in the crotch area, but the same everywhere else. His phone in his right hand and his black A Day To Remember hoodie, with the white initials across the chest, in his left hand. His plain black Vans backpack was swung over his left shoulder. He threw everything down on the crate I was sat on. His phone was glued to his hands.
"Scrolling through Tumblr? Better watch out for the porn don't want you getting an awkward boner do we?" I joked as he set down his phone and began to tie back his hair.
"No I got scared of Tumblr after I saw fanfiction and porn of me, Roman and Dean. I'm texting Dean because he doesn't have a ride. Is it alright for Dean and Renee to ride with us?" He asked.
"Yeah that's fine, as long as I don't have to watch them make out." I answered as he finished tying his hair up in a ponytail.
"On second thoughts, has Roman left yet?" Seth joked. Roman had left earlier because he wanted to FaceTime his wife and daughter. Seth disappeared back into the locker room for a few minutes and reappeared with his suitcase and his black Glamour Kills Destroy Everything, Regret Nothing snapback, with the eagle in the middle, on his head. He stopped just next to me and picked up his hoodie. He slid his arms into the hoodie and slipped it on before zipping it up. He grabbed his phone and stuffed it in his pocket.
"You ready?" Seth asked. I nodded and jumped off the crate and grabbed my backpack. He swung his backpack over his shoulder and grabbed the black handle of his plain black suitcase. I followed him out into the cold parking lot, his suitcase trailed behind him. We reached the black Volkswagen Phaeton. The cream leather interior was heavenly to sit in, especially after a tough match. Seth was left to lay the luggage in the trunk because I wasn't going to be the one to tear the leather. Just then, Dean and Renee startled Seth and I.
"Hey yo." His imitation of Scott Hall made both of us jump out of our skin. We both jumped into each other and jerked our heads to the left to see Dean Ambrose with his short, wild hair and his beanie on, wearing an innocent smile while Renee tried to stay on her feet while laughing at the terrified expressions on our faces.
"What a dick move, Dean!" Seth expressed with disgust. I walked over to Dean and punched his arm.
"That is not funny Dean, he could've torn the leather." I told him. I then took Seth's backpack and my own into the front passenger's seat. I then waited for Dean, Renee and Seth to take their seats inside the James Bond like car. Seth drove us to the hotel, Dean and Renee making kissy faces at each other and seductive looks, I knew what they'd be doing.
"Seth, can I play The Last Of Us when we get in?" I asked sweetly.
"We don't have the PS4 with us and we need to get some sleep." Seth told me.
"Aw, when we get home?"
"Fine, but not for too long, I want to try out gang beats again. I will beat you." He insisted.
"Ok Seth, whatever you say." I mocked. Dean and Renee were now fully making out behind us. Luckily it was only a few minutes until we reached the hotel.
We parted ways as Seth and I headed to the second floor, while they were going up to the third. As roommates, we each knew what makes the other tick. We knew that whenever Seth went to bed, I had to go because Seth wouldn't get any sleep otherwise. It had to be almost completely silent for Seth to sleep. Seth also knew not to switch off my lamp because I have a fear of the dark. We knew each other so well and even though I'd rather play video games at 3am and Seth hates the light being on, we get on with it and do what makes the other happy because in terms of sleeping, it doesn't bother us.
I sat in the slightly lit room, at the end of the natural maple bed, with white bedsheets and a beige blanket, situated closest to the window. The beds looked comfortable enough and were, for sitting on. Seth had dumped everything at the foot of his bed, my suitcase was directly under the window. I looked to Seth, who looked completely exhausted. After a long, hard and painful night, we were both exhausted. We decided to go to bed almost as soon as we got in. Just as I was about to go into the bathroom to change, my phone began to vibrate across the maple bedside table. I looked at the ID, 'Mark (The Bossman)' was across the screen with the red and green phones underneath. I held up a finger to Seth as I held the phone and swiped along with my thumb. I held the phone to my ear before I spoke.
"Hello, Sapphire." Mark greeted.
"Hi Mark, what can I do for you?" I asked, trying to be cheerful.
"We decided that we would allow you to go on the European tour with Glasgow being on the list of dates. While there, the creative team want to film a short video about you visiting home, like they did with Adrian Neville a few years back." Mark suggested.
"Wow, I'm flattered. I'd love to go on the European tour. However, the video I'm not sure about. I'm not sure how my family would take it..." I decided on the spot.
"Can you tell me by next Monday please, thanks." Mark then said goodbye and hung up. Seth looked at me as I put the phone back on the small dresser.
"I'm assuming you heard my side. I'm on the European tour, they want to film a video about me returning home. I'm not too sure about it, but I'll decided before Monday." Seth nodded to comprehend. Time for bed then as Seth could talk a marathon until he becomes worn out. I changed into my pink Superman pyjamas with "I only kiss superheroes" written in red across the front and pink bottoms with Superman logos all over the legs. When I walked into the main room with all my discarded clothes, I noticed Seth. Seth was in a pair of Gryffindor bottoms. They looked like maroon sweatpants with the house crest on the left pocket and Gryffindor down the right leg in gold writing. He was fast asleep. He was lying across the bed with his torso and head on the ground. He looked like a child. I also noticed that he had his t-shirt on still. I threw my clothes in a heap on my suitcase before clearing his clothes away in the same fashion as mine. I also woke Seth. He removed his shirt and lazily climbed into bed. He was snoring before I even reached my bed. He was so done and tired.
The next morning, Seth's obnoxious alarm filled the room. The loud beeping noise was as annoying as Cesaro's theme, if not more annoying. Seth groaned loudly until I got up and hit snooze on his phone that was next to the TV. He then rolled over for two minutes, at which point he got up and dismissed it. I was sitting on the end of my bed with my clothes laid out and looking like a hungover alcoholic. Seth looked just as bad. If anybody walked in, it would've looked like we had 'a wild night'. Seth sat on the end of his bed and lazily began laying out clothes. I went and got dressed in the bathroom. I was wearing a black and grey Glamour Kills baseball t-shirt with the flying pig on the left shoulder next to the three white buttons in the middle. I wore the t-shirt with a light blue pair of pre-ripped jeans with my red and black checked Vans and my grey Seth Rollins hoodie. I then quickly washed my face and hands and fixed my hair into its style of being swooped on my forehead and off my face and wavy all over, but all down. I then put my hat on to cover my face because I probably looked like a zombie. I also put on my black legged, red framed FCUK glasses. When I walked out, Seth was in the clothes from the night before and his hair tied back, hidden by his Glamour Kills snapback. He grabbed his Onnit hoodie and we headed out to the car to drive twenty miles to the next town. Dean and Renee were there before us. Stood next to the car discussing something. They stopped as we began to approach. We packed the car with all the suitcases in the trunk and set off for a few miles through two towns to reach the next city.
