Chapter One.

Become Overprotective.

July 19,2016.


Leaning against the bar,a smile was on the Spanish natives face as she looked at her friends who were all out on the dance floor,jumping around and grinding to the music that pulsed through the grey eyes connected with the blue eyes of her best friend's,the blonde waving her over but she simply shook her head with a small smile,raising the beer she had in her hand.

The brunette watched her friend excuse herself from their friends before she was making her way over to where she stood,her blonde hair falling around her face in loose waves and a small frown on her face as she approached her friend.

"You're not having fun."Was all Renee said when she was close enough to her friend that she didn't have to yell at the top of her lungs and as much as the brunette wanted to protest,she knew it wouldn't be any use,the blonde could read her like a book.

"I'm sorry."Alex said,her voice raised so her friend could hear her."I really don't wanna ruin your night but I'm just not into the whole party scene tonight."

"I should be the one saying sorry."Renee admitted with a small smile on her face."I knew you would be tired after the hectic day you've had but I still dragged you here tonight."

"It's-"

"Why don't I grab my things then we can go?I'll call us a cab and-"

"It's fine,Ren."Alex waved her off with an honest smile on her face."Stay and have fun with Jon and The Bella's,I'm gonna finish my beer then head out."

"But I-"

"Stay!"The brunette laughed at her stubborn friend and turned her,giving her a gentle push."Go have fun and I promise,if I can't find you before I leave,I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"Fine."The blonde grumbled walking aways and calling out over her shoulder."I'm holding you to that promise,Lex."

Smiling,the brunette brought the beer bottle up to her mouth and downed a decent amount of it,looking around her until she locked eyes with a pair of brown eyes that caused her to nearly choke on the beer but she brought it away from her lips and looked out at the dancing wrestlers who took up most of the dance floor.

She,herself was a wrestler and had been drafted to the Smackdown brand on that very night much to the disappointment of her brother and her friends who were drafted to made her debut in 2012 when FCW got renamed as NXT which allowed her to reunite with her brother after being in Japan for most of her life where she met some pretty amazing people.

She met Renee in 2013 after her debut and they immediately clicked,bonding over their love for sports,acting and didn't expect to form such a great relationship with the blonde but here they were,3 years later and best friend's-probably closer than a lot of people in WWE but while they were close,the number one woman in Alex's life would always be Rebecca Quin-known as Becky Lynch- who she met in 2002 when she was 14-Becky was 15-and she was on a field trip in Ireland where she ended up wandering away from her school group,stumbling into the Lass Kickers training with Fergal Devitt and ever since they've been friends.

Being close to Becky meant that she was close to Sasha Banks-who's real name was Mercedes-,Charlotte Flair-who she simply knew as Ashley-and of course,Fergal Devitt himself although her time in Japan helped with the then growing friendship between herself and the Irish male.

So absorbed in her thoughts,she didn't notice she finished off her beer so when she felt the lighter wright of the beer bottle in her hand,she glanced down and gave a half smile at the sight,placing the bottle on the bar ready to leave but before she could pick up her things,someone slid into the seat next to her and when she turned to give the person a friendly smile she felt her breath catch in her throat.

Now that he was closer,she noticed the man with the brown eyes she was staring at earlier was non other than one of the people she would shamefully stalk each day when she had free and Renee-who actually got on really well-would always tease her about her obsession with the man and she would always blush because it was really something that she didn't want people to know since she knew her brother and his friends-who she considered her brothers as well-would tease the hell out of her.

Watching the man arch an eyebrow,Alex noticed she was teased and immediately felt her cheeks heat up while a smile spread across her plump colored lips.

"I'm sorry,I didn't mean to stare."She breathed out a laugh,brushing her hair behind her ear,one of her nervous habits "You must think I'm some kind of creep."

"And here I thought I would have to apologize for staring at you."He chuckled and Alex couldn't stop her smile from widening at the sound before he held his hand out for her."I'm Teddy."

"Alexandra."She slipped her smaller hand into his and he smiled at the difference in size.

"It's nice meeting you,Ally."

"You too,Teddy."

Dropping the to hands,both of them glanced at their wrists watches and seeing the time told them it was nearly 11pm,Teddy bit his bottom lip before glancing up at the Spanish native,contemplating before he finally let out a breath and leaned closer to her so he couldn't have to yell over the music like they were before.

"I know this is gonna sound really forward and like I'm coming onto you but do you wanna get out of here?"Seeing her hesitant look,he raised his hands in an act of surrender and smiled."I know this diner that's open 24/7 and sells the best banana-berry milkshakes."

The sound of her favorite milkshake flavor and his hesitant tone had Alex smiling a bit before she glanced at her phone with pursed could get out of her with one of the people she fan girled over daily and get what he claimed to be the best banana-berry milkshake or she could go to her hotel room and watch reruns of Teen Wolf like the boring person she was.

Letting out a breath and lifting her head to stare at the hopeful man,she picked up her phone and leather jacket with a small breath.

"You said the best banana-berry milkshakes?"

The smile that spread across his lips could only be described as one a child wore on Christmas and as a smile grew on her own face,Alex grabbed Teddy's hand that he offered,both of them were completely unaware of the eyes that were on them since they began speaking.


Renee collapsed in the booth next to her boyfriend,The Bella's following after her while Nikki's boyfriend,John Cena,Jon Good-who was known as his on screen persona Dean Ambrose-and Brie's husband,Bryan Danielson-or Daniel Bryan-looked at the three girls in amusement.

"My feet are killing me."Renee huffed,leaning into Jon's side while he shook his head with a small grin.

"Where's Alex?"

"She's at the..."Trailing off Renee reached across the table,slapping around it before she finally hit what she hoped was Nikki's eyes,her eyes never leaving the bar.

"What?"Brie yelled over the music before following her friends gaze,her eyes widening when they landed on their reserved friend who was smiling with a guy who's face they couldn't see.

"Oh My God."Nikki grinned,leaning forward as the guy leaned forward,repeating her words from before.

"Is that TJ Perkins?Like TJ Perkins the Alex is totally obsessed with?"Brie exclaimed,excitement seeping into her tone and she did her best not to bounce in her seat.

"You mean the TJ Perkins that Alex stalks daily?"John asked the girls who nodded their heads and surprisingly Jon was the one to answer Brie's question.

"Yeah,that's him."He said and seeing the looks he was receiving he shrugged his shoulders."I met him a few times when I went back to the Independent circuit."

"And you think his a cool guy,right?"Renee asked,watching her friend gather her things.

"Yeah,why?"

"Because she's about to leave with him."

They all turned,watching the two smile at each other before she slipped her hand into his and they disappeared in the crowd.

Renee expected her boyfriend to become overprotective,play the big brother role like he did many times before with the girl but instead,when she looked up at him,she saw a smile on his face.
