Chapter 1l
Chris Jericho slouched in his chair in Mr. McMahon's office for a meeting he had been called in for at six in the morning. Vince was telling him info about upping his fame on RAW. "Now as world champion, we want to push your popularity to the top. So, I talked it out with Stephanie and we decided to pair you up with one of our divas. She right now is a baby face, but she'll turn heel with you. Since you have had experience with this storyline you shouldn't have any trouble."
Chris nodded. "Yeah it's no problem. So who's the diva?"
"It's Mickie James. She is moving away from her feud with Beth, and the storyline would have you change her character from baby face to heel, and you two would be the top heel couple on RAW." Chris sported some interest. He had loved that he got to keep the title, because any superstar felt great when you were champion, but he wasn't ecstatic about the storyline. He had just come off a divorce, and he just didn't want a 'relationship' right now. It didn't have anything against Mickie; he just wasn't in the best place romantically.
"Alright." He replied. Vince dismissed Chris from his office and Chris walked out and went back to his hotel for a while, since the RAW show was in the same town. He got back into his room and lay down on his bed. He looked over his script that he was given from Vince. It started out as flirting from what he got from the script, but he knew it was going to go farther. He sighed, because this wasn't what he was looking forward to.

The brunette diva lay asleep in her hotel room bed. It was around 8 o'clock, and she should have been getting prepared for RAW like her roommate Maria, but Mickie James wasn't the best morning person. Seeing that she wasn't up out of bed, Maria went over to Mickie and yelled for her to get up. "Earth to Mickie! It's time to get up now."
Mickie picked her head up and looked at Maria half-awake. "Why are you getting me up so early? We're not leaving for a town." Mickie grumbled.
"That's not a reason to be lazy. Now get up girl!"
Mickie finally arose from bed and got ready to leave for the day. She slowly walked over to the bathroom to take a shower. Several minutes later, she came out all ready to go. She and Maria left the room and headed out for the arena. Maria and Mickie were best friends, and even though they were on different shows, they frequently hung out together.
In the lobby, Chris caught up with Mickie and Maria. "Mickie!" He called, grabbing her attention. Mickie turned to the spiky haired World Heavyweight Champion. "They asked me to give this to you." He handed her a script, containing the details of their storyline. She took the script and he walked away as soon as she did. She read the note on the cover.
"What's that about?" Maria asked.
"I don't know. It says something about a new storyline." Mickie flipped through the pages to find out what it was. As she read, she realized what it exactly was.
"Well what's it about?"
"I'm not sure, but I think I'm in a storyline with Chris."
"What? Like, a couple storyline?"
Mickie nodded. She wondered why she would be paired up with him all of the sudden. It would be out of the blue, probably for both of them.
--
At the RAW arena, Mickie sat in the divas locker room preparing for the RAW event that would begin in an hour. As she laced up her boots, Jillian Hall came into the locker room. Mickie greeted her friend with a hug, and they got into a conversation about Mickie's new storyline.
"So I heard your starting something with Chris."
"Yeah. I don't know why though. I mean, why would they pair me up with Chris? I mean I know I'm done with the whole thing with the 'Man-Azon'," Mickie wasn't too fond of Beth. "But I don't know how I would fit in with him. Stephanie told me that it would boost both our careers, but I don't see how though."
"Well at least it's not like my stupid singing thing. I swear I want to shut myself up when I open my mouth."
Mickie giggled. "Yeah I guess you're right. But I don't understand why we need this soap opera crap. I mean we're supposed to be wrestling, not meeting dates."
"But at least it's with a guy like Chris. I mean he is really attractive. Be thankful it's not Santino." Jillian and Mickie both laughed.
The two divas heard people talking outside the locker room, and the two peered outside to see who it was. It was John Cena, Maria, and walking right past the door, Mickie's soon to be RAW boyfriend, Y2J. "Aww, look there's your boyfriend." Jillian said to Mickie. "Shut up!"
As he walked by the locker room door, Chris handed some papers to Mickie, but didn't say anything about it. She grabbed it and said thank you, but he didn't respond.
"Uh, Chris?" He turned over to the brunette calling for him. "You want to go over lines for the show?"
Jericho just turned and said, "Got other things to do."
"Be more rude." Mickie said under her breath.
"Maybe he had to do something."
"But he could have been nicer."
At that moment, John, along with Maria walked over to Jillian and Mickie.
"What was that about?" Maria asked Mickie.
"Nothing. He just gave me some lines and I asked him if he wanted to go over them and he just blew me off."
"Oh yeah, you guys are in a storyline right?" John asked Mickie, which she nodded in a reply. "Yeah he said something about just coming off a divorce."
"Oh." Mickie felt bad after John had said that. He could have just talked to his wife or something, and that's why he was being grumpy. Mickie had a strange feeling about this whole storyline thing. She had come off as not liking it, but she actually liked being with Chris. And in a strange way, she was glad that he was single, but she would never admit it to somebody.
--
About a half hour later, Chris had felt bad about blowing Mickie off. He came back around to the diva locker room to meet up and apologize. As he saw the brunette exit out of the doors, he immediately talked.
"Hey Mickie," He called as she turned to him. "I'm sorry about before. I was just-"
Mickie cut him off. "No it's okay. You just probably had other things on your mind. Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, I just-"
Already knowing why, she cut him off once again. "Chris. You don't have to explain anything."
He smiled at the brunette, happy that he didn't have to talk about something that made him very uncomfortable. His smile was impressive to Mickie. She thought it was a very beautiful, sexy smile. But she didn't understand why she felt so much about a guy who'd she barely known.
He looked at her, and he couldn't help looking at the curvaceous diva in front of him. She was a beautiful woman, and he loved what he saw. Her eyes, her lips, her body, all of the brunette diva made him have, thoughts about Mickie. Stop it Jericho. He told himself.
They both walked off together, both liking each other, but neither wanting to admit it.

"Please welcome my guest at this time, Mickie James!" Todd Grisham said as Mickie emerged from his right. "Mickie congratulations on your win over Beth Phoenix in your Bra and Panties Match."
"Thanks Todd. Even though maybe some of the audience would have liked to see me stripped," Many of the audience members cheered after Mickie's comment. "I'm glad that I beat her."
"Even though Beth and Candice are facing off at No Mercy, winning over the Women's Champ should put you up there in title contention."
"Yeah. Even if it was a Bra and Panties Match, a win's a win in my book. So who ever the champion is after No Mercy, you can definitely expect-"
Chris Jericho walked in cutting off Mickie.
"Mickie James, right?" He asked with a smirk.
The diva nodded.
"Impressive stuff. You really looked good out there. And if it impressed me, then you know you're in good standing."
"A little cocky, don't you think?" Mickie said to him.
"I just wanted to get my word in."
"Then what is it?"
"If you can't be a champion, then why not be around someone, who is. And why not take," He lifted up his World Heavyweight Championship belt as he said, "The best of the best?" He smirked at her, and she returned a look of curiosity.
Before he left, he added, "Oh, and the audience members aren't the only ones who would have rather seen you in your bra and panties." He smirked once again, and left. Mickie looked a bit confused at first, but then she started to smile, leaving the audience baffled.
Hope You enjoyed the first chapter. Please review!
