Lexi-
I was talking to a couple of the girls, waiting for my match. This would be the last one at NXT. I saw Dean Ambrose talking with Seth Rollins down the hall. I didn't know either of them, just passed them by from time to time. Bayley nudged me.
"I think he likes you", Bayley said.
I turned my attention to her.
"What?", I asked.
"Go talk to him, come on Lex", she said.
I felt her hands push me towards him, I turned around and brushed them away.
"Fine, don't push me", I said.
I started towards him, he was untapping his hands. Seth saw me and smiled, not having any conversation with him either in the past just a couple of heys or hi, congrats. Dean turned his head, he did a double take, then he looked back at Seth. Seth said something to him and walked away. When I reached him, he didn't look at me. This could be the one and only chance I get to talk to him.
"Hi", I said.
He didn't say anything, he just nodded, not even looking at me.
"I just wanted to say great match, I think you even might have killed him", I said.
I thought I heard him chuckle, but I could have been wrong. I played with my hands looking down.
"So I guess I'll see you around, I mean not around here because I won't be here, I mean I'll come and visit everyone but", I stopped, he wasn't even listening to me.
I sighed.
"I'll leave you alone then", I mumbled.
He nodded, once the tape was off he walked away, quickly, faster than I've seen anyone go. I saw him run his hand through his hair. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning to see Randy Orton smiling at me.
"Are you Lexi?", he asked.
"Yes", I said.
"I'm Randy", he said.
"Oh I know who you are, big fan", I said.
He smiled.
"Well it turns out they sent me down here to meet you, turns out we might be working together soon", he said.
I smiled, I wasn't going to deny that he was very attractive.
"My daughter's a big fan of yours, she's going to be excited when I tell her I'm going to be working with you", he said.
"Oh you have a daughter?", I asked.
He nodded.
"Sophia, she stays with my ex-wife while I'm working", he said.
"Hopefully I get to meet her some time", I said.
"You probably will, I bring her with me when I can or well at least when my ex-wife allows it", he said.
"I'm starting to think you and your ex don't get along", I said.
He laughed.
"Caught that did you", he said.
"Lexi we're next", Kaitlyn called.
I nodded and she turned the corner, I looked at Randy.
"Well I should go, I have a match", I said, walking passed him.
"Hey wait", he grabbed my wrist gently.
I looked at him.
"I was wondering and I know we just met but if you aren't seeing anyone, maybe you would like to get dinner or have lunch, which ever is better for you, hell I'll even take a coffee date", he said chuckling.
"You want to go out with me? Me?", I asked surprised.
This man could have had anyone, I was a nobody, still making a name for myself in a company full of talented people, more talented then me.
"Don't act so surprised", he said.
"It's just, me", I said.
He nodded.
"I think you are absolutely beautiful and I want to get to know you better, I want to keep talking to you", he said smiling.
I tucked my hair behind my ear.
"Give me one date, if after you want nothing but my friendship then that's what I'll give you, promise", he said, putting his hand over his heart.
I was about to give him a response. I heard someone running towards us.
"Lexi we're up", Kaitlyn said, taking my arm.
She pulled me away. Randy was laughing and sent me a small wave, I waved back.
"Girl, he asked me out", I said.
Kaitlyn froze and turned towards me. Smile on her face.
"What?", she asked.
I nodded.
"He asked me out", I said.
AJ came skipping towards us, she stopped and looked between us.
"What's going on? Why are you looking at her like that? It's creepy", AJ said to Kaitlyn.
AJ pulled me into her and wrapped her arms around me.
"I'll protect you", she said.
I laughed.
"Randy Orton just asked out Lexi", Kaitlyn said.
"What?", AJ asked.
I shrugged.
"What did you say?", she asked.
"I was about to say yes before Kaitlyn dragged me away", I said.
Kaitlyn smirked and rolled her eyes. Her music hit and she walked out. AJ nudged me.
"This is our last match here, after this we're on the main roster", she said.
"I know, it feels like a dream, glad all three of us are going together", I said.
She nodded.
Randy-
I chuckled as her friend pulled her away. I noticed Dean leaning against the wall. I've run into him and Seth a couple of times. I sent him a nod.
"How's it going?", I asked.
He shrugged.
"I could have had a better day", he said.
I nodded, for some reason I felt like he didn't like me.
"Great match by the way, hope to see you on the main roster some day", I said.
"Yeah, we need a match together, I'd like to wrestle you", he said.
I nodded.
"I'm gonna go and watch this match", I said.
I walked passed him.
"Me too", he said.
I felt him behind me, once I got a good view of the match, he stood beside me, arms crossed over his chest. Seth Rollins joined.
"Hey man I've been looking for you", he said to Dean.
Seth looked at me and sent me a nod, I returned it.
"Come on, Triple H wants to talk to us", I heard Seth say.
I looked at them both.
"Nice chatting with you Dean, we must do this again some time", I said.
He raised a brow and left. Seth looked at me confused before he followed Dean.
Lexi-
Getting to the back, everyone hugged us and high fived us, they knew this was our last match here at NXT. I saw Roman walking down the hall with Dean and Seth, I didn't know they were even friends. They shook hands before parting ways. Roman saw me and came over to hug me.
"Don't be mad, I did catch some of your match but I got called into a meeting", he said.
"It's okay, it's not like it was my last match or anything", I said.
"I know, but we are going to miss you here", he said.
I hugged him again. My curiosity getting the better of me.
"I didn't know you talked to Rollins and Ambrose", I said.
He looked down the hall in the direction Dean and Seth went, he shrugged and looked back at me.
"I don't really, not unless we have a match", he said.
"So then what was the meeting about? It had to involve all three of you", I said, putting my hands on my hips.
He smirked and shook his head.
"Has anyone told you that you're very nosy", he said.
I smiled and nodded.
"All the time, now spill big man", I said.
He chuckled and nodded.
"Triple H wants to put us together, call us The Shield", he said.
"What, really, sounds pretty cool", I said.
He nodded.
"He wants to see how it goes, trial run here at NXT and if it works we just might debut on Raw", he said, smiling excited.
"Dude that's great news", I said, hugging him.
"Yeah but he wants us to wait a year or two, if within that time we hit it off with the crowd then it's a go", he said.
"How does Rollins and Ambrose feel about this? I know how Rollins is, he complains about not being on the main roster yet, I doubt he wants to be in a group with two other men competing to be on the main roster as well", I said.
"He didn't say it but judging by his facial expression, he didn't like it, Hunter set him straight", Roman said.
I nodded.
"He told him that if he can't handle sharing the spotlight with two other men then maybe he wasn't ready to go to the main roster. Rollins shook his head no and said he was ready and willing to do what was needed of him", he said.
I smiled.
"What's up with you, talk to me girl, I know something is up", he said.
"What if it doesn't work out? What if I can't do what is asked of me? This is a big deal and a lot of these girls are more ready than I am, I just don't, know", I said.
He set his hands on my shoulders.
"You're going to be great, I've seen what you could do, don't doubt yourself Alex", he said.
I took a deep breath and nodded.
"Besides you won't be alone, Kaitlyn and AJ will be with you and I know they are just as nervous as you are", he said.
I nodded.
"I'm kinda hungry, wanna grab a late dinner?", he asked.
"Yeah sounds good, let me shower and change first", I said.
"Yeah me too", he said.
He walked away and I was heading towards where the girls were. Randy was leaning against the wall.
"So you do have a boyfriend", he said.
"What? That? Roman? No", I said quickly.
He raised a brow.
"He has a girlfriend and a daughter. I get along with him great, he was actually one of the first friends I made here", I said.
He nodded.
"So you never answered me", he said, stepping towards me.
I licked my lips.
"I'd like to go out with you", I said.
He smiled.
"Great, maybe tomorrow night?", he asked.
I nodded.
"Sounds good", I said smiling.
He leaned down and kissed my cheek. We exchanged numbers.
"I'll see you tomorrow", he said, winking at me before walking away.
