For The Love Of The Business Chapter 1: Meeting Stu, a wrestling fanfic

Hello again! After much consideration and deliberation, I've decided to start a Wade Barrett story. He may be a jerk but he looks doing it. Not to mention his pro on NXT was Chris Jericho. I mean, come on. Win freaking win. Anyway, this is for him. It will start in Lily's point of view and will eventually drift into third person.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs and ideas. All parties mentioned have their own views and this is not meant to offend.
PS: All superstars will be called by their real names when backstage and called their ring names when the occasion calls for it.
PPS: There will two OCs, one will represent my best friend. Just clarifying if anyone was confused.

Being an Irvine means I'm no stranger to the WWE. But I was somewhat surprised when Chris was approached to be a pro on the first season of NXT. Thinking back, it really didn't shock me because he is the World Heavyweight Champion. At the first mention of "rookies", I thought they would all be scrawny little things in desperate need for a mentor and direction. That was clearly not the case when Chris and I met his rookie, Stu Bennett. We decided to meet in a gym so Chris could see first-hand what kind of skills he had. Stu waved us over to the practice ring he was standing in and my jaw dropped. He may have been tall but he was all muscle. "Stop drooling, Lil." I shoved Chris forward, ignoring his laughter and putting my bag down on the ground by the ring. "You must be Stu."

"I am." Oh god, he's English. "You must be Chris." Chris nodded and looked at me with a smirk on his face. "You didn't tell me you were bringing your wife with you."

"Oh dear god, no. This is my sister, Stu. Lily meet my rookie, Stu Bennett." I threw Chris a glare before looking towards Stu. I smiled warmly and extended my hand, expecting a hand shake in return. Instead, Stu bent down and kissed my hand.

"Pleasure to meet you, Lily." I smiled at him and felt my heart begin to beat wildly in my ears. It has been a long time, too long, since I have felt like this way about a man. Chris nudged me and I smacked him in the back of the head. "Are you joining us, Lily?"

"Yes. Chris told me that I'd be the dummy. Thanks Chris." I stepped into the ring, making sure to slap him on the back of his head again.

"He's going to demonstrate on you? Chris, that doesn't seem fair." I shrugged and stood in front of Chris.

"Alright, Stu. Show me what you know and I'll show you what you can improve on."

"On Lily? Chris, I'm not sure about this."

"She'll be fine, Stu. Please, demonstrate." Stu looked at me, mouthed 'I'm sorry' and proceeded to show Chris all of what he knew. Ten minutes later, Stu had to help me up off the mat.

"Damn, Stu. You need a pro for NXT, why?" I looked up to see Stu smiling down at me, extending his hand to me and pulling me up with ease, and right into his chest.

"Sorry about that. Sometimes, I don't remember to be gentler with women." He smiled and gently put me back down on the mat.

"It's alright. Chris does it on purpose so I'm used to it."

"You love your brother, don't you?" I nodded, nervously tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "I always love seeing siblings. I think a sibling bond is amazing."

"Lily, please stop flirting with Stu. We've got a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it." I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Keep your pants on, Chris...for all our sakes." I turned back to Stu who had a very nice smile on his face. "Don't mind him. He's just a little impatient because someone didn't get what he wanted last night."

"I heard that!"

"Your point?"

"Is it my fault she was tired? No!" Stu and I laughed as Chris stomped into the ring and put his hands on his hips. "Enough talking, more demonstrating." I nodded and allowed Chris to demonstrate wrestling moves on me for Stu. Chris had me in the Walls of Jericho, describing to Stu where pressure was being applied to ensure a tap out. I'll show you a tap out, Chris. I twisted my body out of the Walls of Jericho and applied a heel hook to Chris' right foot. Within seconds, Chris was tapping out. I stood up, helped Chris up and sent a wink Stu's direction. "What the hell was that, Lily?"

"You know more about this business than I do, Chris, and you don't know what that was?" He gave me a look and I laughed. "Alright, enough with the 'bitch, please' look. It's a heel hook. A friend of mine showed me; a submission specialist to be exact." I glanced from Stu's face to Chris' face, smiling at the incredulous looks plastered there. "You think because I'm a woman, I shouldn't know how to make someone tap?"

"Not at all, Lily. It's just...rare for a woman to seek out a submission specialist. I think...right, Chris?" Chris nodded quickly, trying really hard not to offend me.

"I'm just kidding, guys. I don't care what you think of it; just be afraid that I'll whip it out." Chris walked over to me and draped his arm over my shoulders.

"We're not the ones that should be afraid, Lil. It's the entire Divas division that should be scared." I smirked; Chris couldn't have been more right.

-FIN-

That's it for the beginning of this story. I apologize for the fizzly ending; it had to stop before I lost control of it. Let me know what you think.
