"Ria" It was that voice, the voice that makes me want to just faint every time I hear it. When I turn around I see him standing there staring at me with a smile on his face, I smile back at him, a smile he will never know is filled with so much more the pleasant friendliness "Congrats" he said as he got closer to me "Future Diva champ" he grinned at me

"Thanks" I sighed with a small smile

"What's up?" he asked me

I looked at him and saw the concern that was written on his face, I looked further down the corridor and something caught my eye Randy and Kelly making out just outside the locker room I share with Kelly, it wasn't fair why wasn't I in love? The one person I want to be with right now is standing in front of me and I can't do anything about it because he's taken and that's not the kind of girl I am. I looked back to his face and seen him staring at me waiting on an answer "Ria? Are you ok?" he asked me

I nod my head "I'm fine, just a little tired" I lie

He nodded "Ok, I'll let you get some rest; I just wanted to let you know you killed it out there, it won't be long until you're at the top of the diva division!" He smiled and walked away

"Thanks John" I called after him "Good luck for tonight" I added

He turned back around and smirked at "You trying to say I need luck?" he joked disappearing around the corner.

I turned on my heels and headed for the vending machines, I needed water or just an excuse to walk to opposite direction of the public display of affection I would more than likely interrupt if I went to my locker room, Randy had a match soon so when I got back it would be finished.

I walked slowly down the hall my head filled with thoughts, thoughts of John and thoughts of me never being with him; no matter how much I wanted it. I didn't even realise until I was sent flying that there was someone in front of me walking to other direction "Sorry" I shouted when I stumbled backwards almost losing my balance if it wasn't for the arm of Mike "The Miz" then I would have fallen

"Wow, looks like you're in an even bigger day dream than me" he laughed

"Something like that" I replied and went to continue my journey down the hall

"Are you ok? You seem a little down" he said stopping me once more

I just looked at him, I didn't really know how to answer and the look in his eyes basically mirrored mine, I did want someone to talk to, but then again I didn't I wanted to bottle my feeling up inside and never let them out, I didn't want them to hurt anyone. So I nodded my head "I'm fine" I said and I don't think it could have sounded anymore fake that it did

"Are you sure, we can talk if you like. I'd really like a woman's perspective on something if you have the time. You don't have to say anything if you don't want, but you look like you could use a distraction"

Maybe this was what I needed, to help someone else with their problems, so once again I nodded my head "Are you free now?" I asked him

He nodded "I'm finished for the night, how about we head back to the hotel?"

I nodded "I just need to get ready, I'll meet you there?"

"Sounds good" he smiled, "See you soon" he walked away towards the doors, and I walked to my dressing room, unfortunately Randy's match hadn't started yet and the lovers had taken the romance inside, when I opened the door the kissing pair pulled apart.

"Sorry" Kelly giggled

"It's fine" I smiled at them both

"Nice job out there Maria, you're really progressing you know" Randy told me

"Thank you" I smiled at him, I really could see what Kelly seen in him. Inside the ring he played a deluded character, someone who was very selfish and a bit crazy, but outside of the ring he was sweet and caring and he treated Kelly like a princess.

"No problem" he smiled at me "Have you seen John? I need to talk to him before out match" he said pointing his comment in Kelly direction "Which means I better go"

"I seen him a while ago I think he headed towards his locker room" I hated when he came up in conversation, I was afraid someone would see through me and reveal my secret, because whenever even his name came up I would lose my breath for a second.

"He's probably with Alicia" Kelly said "There like inseparable"

"We can't talk" Randy said with a giggle "I really have to go" he stood and walked towards the door "I love you" he said before wishing me a goodnight and leaving. I loved Randy and all that, but he always just reminded me of John, they were best friends and they were usually together so whenever he was with Kelly John and Alicia would be there, it was hard to be best friends with Kelly whenever they were around a lot. But I couldn't blame her for any of this. It was all my mess.

"Do you want to watch Randy's match with me?" Kelly grinned patting the seat beside her for me to join her.

I shook my head "I can't I'm meeting Mike in a few minutes" I told her, and I also couldn't bear to watch John, it just hurt too much

"Oh really?" Kelly winked

"Just for a friendly chat and a drink, nothing more" I laughed "Don't you go spreading any rumours"

"Would I do that?" She said her face filled with innocence "What do you think of him anyway?" she asked, she was always a bit of a matchmaker and I honestly think she felt bad about her being with Randy and me feeling like a bit of a third wheel sometimes, but I didn't really mind. Because there was only one man I wanted and I couldn't have him, so why settle for anyone else and be unhappy? I kind of liked being single anyway.

"He's a great friend, nothing more and there never will be!" I said pointing my finger at her

"Fine" she said holding her hands up in defeat "I won't ask again"

I quickly changed and packed up my things. "See you later, have a good night" I told her

"I sure will, you too. Don't get too drunk!" she laughed as I exited and made my way to me the car park. I hopped in the car and the driver drove me to the hotel. When I left my things in my room I made my way to the bar and Mike was already there. He smiled at me and waved me over to join him

"Hi" I said sitting down "Where you waiting long?" I asked

He shook his head "There was a game on, so I didn't really notice the time" he laughed

"Guys and there football!" I giggled "So what was it you wanted to talk about?"

"It's actually kind of awkward" he said his face scrunching up a little bit

"Girls?" I took a wild stab

"Yep" he said

"Are you going to give me any clues? Is she a part of the WWE?" he nodded "Is she a diva?" he nodded again "Is it Maryse?" I asked, they didn't have a bit of a fling a while ago, on screen and off, but he shook his head "Well you're going to have to tell me something if you want me to help, I'm not physic you know"

"I know, I know sorry. It's just I'm not used to talking about my feelings and stuff, it's kind of weird"

"Well I'm here to help, I won't judge you or anything" I smiled at him

"Mickie" he said

"Really?" I asked "Aww that's so cute"

"Why do girls always get like that? Everything is cute to you!" I had to laugh, he was getting red and he looked super nervous

"Sorry" I said when I couldn't laugh anymore, he was like a little kid right now "Mike, I think you should go for it! Mickie is a great girl and you're a great guy!"

"Easy for you to say" he looked me straight in the eyes "I may seem to be confident and stuff, but I'm not every time she's around I feel like I'm suffocating or something, it's not right!"

"I know that feeling" I sighed

"You do?" Crap I'd gotten myself into that one
