AN: I own nothing. This story idea came to me about 2 weeks ago and I've been writing it ever since. I meant for it to go in a different direction, but it didn't work out that way, as it often happens. Either way, this story is rated M for later chapters. Don't like it? Don't read it ;)
Diana Daniels sighed softly as she waited in the lobby of the hotel, looking at her email on her laptop as she waited. She hated being bored, and at the moment, that was exactly what she was. She lived a pretty active life. She was a professional athlete, as well as an extreme sports lover. She didn't slow down in her life, from bungee jumping to sky diving to scuba diving, she'd done it all, and now, she was getting ready for something new after several long months of training. She was going to break into the WWE as the newest Diva that night.
Across the lobby, Mike, 'the Miz', walked in, his dark sunglasses over his eyes, his blond hair spiked up as always. He was in faded jeans and a t-shirt, wheeling his bag behind him after the long flight from New York to Los Angeles, where they would be holding RAW that night. He scanned the lobby, heading for the front desk, his eyes landing on Diana as he went. Almost instantly, his interest had been caught by her. She was beautiful, and as his relationship with Maryse was on the rocks at the moment, he was feeling ready for some fun of his own.
Instead of heading for the desk, he made a beeline for Diana, who was still absorbed in her laptop, completely oblivious to the Superstar in front of her. That annoyed the former WWE Champion slightly. His ego was used to being acknowledged whenever he stepped into a room. But he'd let it slide, for the moment, "Excuse me," He said at last, taking his sunglasses off as he stood directly in front of her.
Diana looked up. She recognized the man in front of her instantly. She was somewhat surprised to see him talking to her though. She wondered just what he wanted from her, "You're-"
"Mike Mizanin," Mike smirked. He'd seen the look of recognition flash through Diana's eyes, and he was actually somewhat surprised that this woman knew who he was. "Also known as The Miz."
"Yeah, I know," Diana said, her tone shifting a bit. She didn't like being interrupted, and more than that, she didn't like jerks, and that was what she knew the Miz to be. "I don't think there's a person around who doesn't know how awwwwesome you are." She moved her fingers through her hair as she closed her laptop and slid it into her bag.
Mike's lip curled a bit as he smirked, "Well, why don't you come to my room and I can show you how awesome I truly am?"
Diana's eyes flashed and she stood up, "Sorry, Mike. I know you're a WWE Superstar and you're probably used to a whole bunch of sluts falling over each other to worship you and spend a night in your bed, but I'm not a slut, nor am I one of your worshipers. I'd rather spend one night in heaven with Alex Riley, than one hundred nights in your bed."
At that moment a flash caught Diana's eye as she saw the aforementioned Alex Riley walk into the hotel lobby as well. Mike's smirk turned into a scowl and he turned away just as a woman came up to Diana and told her that her room was ready. She was more than ready to get settled in her room for the night. As she headed for the elevator, she heard someone running after her. She looked over her shoulder, and to her surprise, she saw Alex Riley come up behind her.
"Can I help you?" Diana asked, tilting her head to the side as she looked at Alex. She relaxed a bit when she saw Alex smiling at her.
"I'm sorry," Alex said, his white teeth seeming to dazzle her as he smiled. "I just saw you arguing with the Miz and I heard you mention my name. He's not giving you a hard time, is he?"
Diana smiled and shook her head, "No, it's nothing I can't handle. Just him trying to get an easy lay. Sadly for him, I'm not that easy." Diana held out her hand, "Though, it is nice to meet you, Alex Riley. I'm Diana, and I'm actually a big fan of yours."
"It's nice to meet you, Diana," Alex said with a nod as he shook her hand. "You're a wrestling fan then?"
Diana smirked and nodded, "You could say that. I'm actually going to be at RAW tonight. I came her just for it."
"You know, for a fan, you're surprisingly level-headed around two of the Superstars," Alex commented. He was used to the screaming fans and girls asking for a night in bed with him. He wasn't into that though, he actually preferred a connection with the women he chose to share his bed with. "Well, I hope you'll enjoy the show tonight. Who knows, maybe I'll see you again at some point."
You have no idea, Diana thought with a smirk. She nodded once to Alex and finally started for the elevator, winking at Alex as the doors slid shut. She knew that she was in for an interesting night, that was without a doubt. She got herself settled in her room and got ready for that night's RAW.
A few hours later, Diana sat in her dressing room, pulling on her outfit for the night, black leather pants and a matching top, secured around her back and neck. There was a knock on the door as she pulled her boots on, and with a smile, she called for whoever was there to come in.
"Well, would you look at you?" The ever happy Eve Torres said as she walked into Diana's dressing room. Diana was actually somewhat surprised to see Eve standing there. They'd crossed paths a few times during various shoots that different magazines had done on female athletes, and Diana could truly say that she was happy to see a friendly face. "I truly didn't believe it when I heard that they had signed you as a Diva. I thought they were pulling my leg."
"Well, believe it," Diana responded, standing up and checking herself in the mirror. "It took a few weeks to get it finalized because I was mountain climbing up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, but I finally did get signed. I got a one-year contract right now."
"Only one year?" Eve asked, tilting her head to the side. "That's weird; why so short?"
"Do I really look like the type of girl who can stay in one profession for longer than that?" Diana asked with a laugh. "I told Vince I'd commit to a year, but longer than that, I couldn't be certain. By the way, when I got to the hotel, I met not only the Miz, but Alex Riley as well."
Eve grinned, "You just have no luck, do you?" She asked, sitting down on the couch and watching as Diana looked herself over again. "Stop being so nervous, will you?"
Diana laughed, "Is it that obvious?" She asked as she sat down on the couch beside Eve.
"You remind me of myself before my first match," Eve said with a nod of her head. "I couldn't stop pacing and making sure that I looked good. But trust me, all of the Superstars are going to be falling all over you, including Alex and the Miz, whether you want them to or not."
"I don't have a problem with Alex, but the Miz was already somewhat of a jerk to me," Diana said with a roll of her eyes. "Whatever, it's not like I can't handle him. I've fried bigger fish than him. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees me tonight." She looked up as she heard the Burn It to the Ground theme of RAW and her heart raced just a bit. "I guess it's time. I'm the first match of the night, big shock, right?"
Eve rolled her eyes. She knew the WWE didn't put a lot of emphasis on Diva matches, but she at least hoped that Diana would be given some time for her first match, "Who are you against?" Eve asked, not having paid much attention to the schedule after finding out she wasn't scheduled for a match of her own.
"Maryse," Diana said with a shrug. "I'm not exactly worried though." She motioned for Eve to follow her as she headed for the door. "I've watched enough RAW clips on Youtube to know her style. Hardly threatening to me. I've faced deathly weather conditions and wild animals. It's going to take a lot more than a blond Canadian Barbie Doll to scare me."
"Diana, watch out-"
Diana had been so caught up in what she had been saying to Eve that she hadn't been paying attention. For a moment she felt like she had run into a tree, because god knows she'd done that before, and she hit the floor. She realized after a few long moments just who she had walked into. She swallowed hard as she looked up into the icy blue eyes of the one named the Miz.
"Well, what the hell do we have here?"
AN: I hate first chapters. Anyway, reviews are always, always loved, and they usually motivate me to update more rapidly. See you in the next one ;)
