A/N: Keeley is Hawaiian, sometimes she will slip up and use her native tongue and when she does it will be in this font. Just so everyone is clear and there is no confusion.
Also thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read the story and review.
Once off the plane Keeley and Evelyn went and collected their bags. Keeley looked at Evelyn and placed a hand on her hip " Brooklyn. Ok so we are here, what next grandma?" she asked the older woman. Evelyn looked at the instructions " well this says there is going to be a driver here that will pick us up to take us to the Hotel and we will meet the person in charge of our experience there." she said as she looked up from the paper to look at Keeley. Nodding her head Keeley started looking around towards the entrance, squinting her eyes a bit she looked and pointed a finger "Grandma I am pretty sure that sign over there that guy is holding says your name." she said as she looked at the older woman.
Evelyn nodded her head "Our drivers name should be Greg" she told her as she took her suitcase and started moving towards the man. Keeley grabbed the handle of her bag and followed close behind. Walking up to the man she heard her grandmother say " excuse me, are you Greg?" Seeing the man nod Evelyn smiled brightly " well hello there I believe you are looking for the two of us!" she motioned between her and Keeley.
The Driver Greg looked to be about in his 40's. Keeley smiled at him and waved her hand in a friendly manner. Greg took the bag from Evelyn and Keeley's as well as they headed out to a limo that was waiting outside. Keeley stopped and looked at the Limo with an impressed look on her face "Wow, I've never been in one of these but I have done the hair and make up of a lot of women who have." she said as she looked between her grandmother and the driver.
Climbing into the back she say on the other side of Evelyn and looked across at her, then her eyes started to wander around the back and landed on the mini fridge back there. Getting up she scooted over opened it up, she whistled as she pulled out a wine cooler and held one up to her grandmother. Evelyn looked at and smiled as she held out her hand while Keeley came back handing one to the older woman and sitting down with one by herself.
Keeley smiled and realxed against the back of the seat " you know, if Grandpa were still with us he would be over the moon about this." Keeley said as she opened her bottled and look at drink. Evelyn, watched her granddaughter closely. Evelyn took a deep breath, Her husband, god rest his soul, had been a hard worker. Had started his Lighting and pyrotechnic company when it was something pretty much unheard of but he quickly moved up the ranks to very impressive heights. But she knew Keeley would not know that, Everett had made sure to never talk business around Keeley, he never wanted her to feel she was obligated to go into the family business if it was something she was not interested in. Now she ran his business. Needless to say when he passed away she could have easily sold it and lived the rest of her life comfortably, However she kept the business and made she it was in the right hands as she knew her husband would have wanted it that way. " He would have loved this at that is for damn sure." she said smiling as she herself leaned back in her seat.
25 Minutes later the women were laughing loudly in the back of the car, " I promise you grandma I never in my life had a blind date as bad as that guy! He talked about his fucking car the whole time, I was hoping the place would catch on fire just so I could get away from him!" she told her grandmother of the disastrous blind date she had set her up on long ago. Evelyn laughed as she set down her second wine cooler. They felt the car stop and giggled when Keeley almost fell out of her seat. Greg came over the opened the door smiling " we have arrived ladies. Do not worry about your bags I will bring them to your room. If you go inside and tell them who you are they will lead you to the people who are waiting for you." he instructed in a kind voice. Evelyn smiled at him as she took his hand and slowly climbed out of the back of the car. Keeley was right behind her grandmother and as soon as her feet hit the ground she let out a whistle as she looked up into the sky admiring the buliding. She felt a hand on her arm and looked over at her grandmother smiling, Keeley offered her arm to her grandmother and they two women made their way inside.
Evelyn walked over to the counter while Keeley looked around, before she knew it she heard her name being called. Turning her head she moved over to where the lady and Evelyn where waiting.
31st floor, and a huge set of door were opened and they were announced like royalty. Once she stepped foot in the door she looked around not even noticing the people in front of her til she heard that distinct voice " Congratulations winners!" said the voice of Vince McMahon. Keeley's eyes widened and she turned her head slowly, her jaw almost slamming to the floor, so much for keeping her cool. Only it was not just him standing there, his whole damn family stood there in front of her, a family she had grown up watching all of her life. Right there in the flesh.
Evelyn reached over and softly closed Keeley's mouth as she smiled at Vince, Linda and their children. Keeley stood there and furrowed her brow a bit when she felt her mouth close. Linda smiled at the two women, but it was Shane to broke the ice. " Shane McMahon it is very nice to meet you.. so which one is Keeley?" He asked. Keeley's eyes got a bit wide and she cleared her throat as she stepped forward as she raised a hand to move some of her hair out of her face " That would be me. Hello, My name is Keeley Gilmore. And this is my Grandmother Evelyn Gilmore, you all have no idea what an honor it is to meet all of you." she said as she reached out her hand to take his and shake it firmly with a wide smile on her face.
Shane smiled and turned to the others before looking back at the two women " Well it is an honor too meet you all as well." he said as he finally realeased Keeley's hand he turned around to the coffee table and picked up two passes " well, first thing is first welcome to Summer slam access week. These are going to be your passes, to everything. Backstage, all the signings, panels and what have you. The Day of Summer slam, you are both invited to come backstage and hang around. Meet some of the talent and even see where the hair make up and costumes are done." he told them in a happy laid back tone.
Keeley reached out and took the passes as she reached over and handed one of them to Evelyn. They were labeled STAFF, she looked at Shane and nodded her head in understanding as he thrust another paper out to her "This here is something you need to keep beyond secret, this is mine and Stephanie's cell phone numbers. In case you get lost or need somekind of help with something." He told her. Keeley nodded and took the paper, as she reached her hand behind her and put the numbers in her phone. Smiling she handed him back the paper so that way there was no chance of it getting lost. She looked over at Stephanie who was staring intently at her, their eyes locked and for a moment Keeley felt about 3 inches tall and it much have shown on her face. Stephanie's face broke into a smile " I was just admiring your hair and thinking to myself my daughter would kill to have hair like yours." she told the younger woman.
Keeley blushed brightly " well thank you, honestly maybe we can get a chance and I can give you ideas that are all natural to get them the color they want but its not perm dye" she told her brightly. " its kinda what I do for a living. I work as a Beautician and on the side I run my own hair and make up business for big events, weddings, proms what have you. I have done a few teenage makeover parties as well" she told Steph kindly.
Steph clapped her hands softly and looked over at Paul. He looked down at his wife then at Keeley " Honestly our oldest is trying to find the new ways to be cool and what have you so absolutely we can find sometime to sit down and hear what you got because if I hear one more, 'Oh my god daddy so and so got her hair dyed' I might hide under the couch until she is 18." He told her with a cheeky smile. Keeley laughed " I mean you could take that route but don't you have 2 other daughters? If you think it stops with just one you are in for a rude wake up call My friend." she told him with a smile and a wink.
Paul blinked " what did you call me?" he asked genuinely curious. Keeley blinked and looked at him " I called you My Friend, sorry sometimes I slip into my native tongue without realizing." she said giving him and apologetic look. Now Vince looked curious and tiled his head " and what language would that be my dear?" he asked her. Keeley took a deep breath and looked down at her tanned complexion, she smiled back up at the older man. " I'm Hawaiian." she told him proudly. Vince looked impressed for some reason and nodded his head.
After a bit more talking Keeley was set to have dinner With Paul Stephanie and Shane while Evelyn had generously been invited to something a bit more swanky with Vince and Linda.
Making their way back to their room they took the time to unpack and joke around a bit. Keeley was the first one to grab a shower and once she was out she got in her bag and managed to find her knee length Black Tripp Double Corset Front Low-Hi Hem Dress, that she matched with her Black and Silver Flatform Sandles. Once she was dressed she went over to the mirror, starting with her hair, she took the time ans blow dryed her hair as she looked down at her phone. She still had a couple hours, after she was done blow drying her hair she took her big curling iron and started to put soft curls into her extra long hair. Evelyn came of of the bathroom completely ready for her dinner. She walked over to Keeley and smiled at her " My Keeleesi, look at you. I did not think you could get anymore beautiful." she cooed at her. Keeley snorted and wrinkled her nose " making a tan girl blush grandma" she teased her.
Keeley picked up her make up kit and set it on the counter, opening it she took out her smokey eye kit, and her mascara and eyeliner. She always went for the simple look, she had amazing skin and she new it therefore she never really felt the need for cover up or anything of the sort. Once she was done with her eyeshadow she felt Evelyn kiss her on the cheek " be safe my dear, I will be back later and make sure you have fun." she told the younger woman as she headed out the door. Keeley smiled at her as she turned back to the mirror and started to apply her mascara and eyeliner. She loved the smokey eyed look with her black eyeliner and mascara, it always made her eyes pop more than anything. Reaching down she reached for the Red lipstick she had picked out, carefully she applied it she stepped back and looked at her work before nodding her approval.
Grabbing her phone and wallet as well as her key and pass, she put them in her purse and went over to the door. Walking out she stepped out the door and smoothed out her dress, reaching a hand up she slowly moved her hair out of her face as she walked along looking at the ground. Then she came to a suddenly came to a hard stop when she ran into something causing her to drop her purse in the process " Ow, Fuck" she grumbled. She felt a warm hand place on her arm almost as if to steady her.
" Oh god I am so sorry I was looking at my phone. Are you alright miss?" came a concerned male voice. Blinking she looked up as Emerald Green met Chocolate Brown eyes, they were so soft and for some reason almost made her want to melt. Snapping too she finally cleared her throat and realized she was face to face with Seth Freaking Rollins " I, yeah I am so sorry I didn't mean to run into you." she said in an apologetic tone. Carefully in the most lady like manner she could she started to squat down and keep her knees together to pick up her bag as Seth's hand slid from her arm. " Here let me." he said as he bent over and started to picked up her purse. Hearing foot steps she looked behind Seth and noticed Roman Reigns walking up behind him, she blinked when Seth came back into her view. She smiled at him when he led out her purse for her " Thank you so much." she said to him as she took the small purse from his hands.
Seth could almost feel his heart skipping in his chest when she smiled at him, what he didn't know was Roman could see it. Hearing the man clear his throat behind him Roman spoke up " You alright there sweetie?" he asked addressing Keeley. She nodded her head and smiled sheepishly " yes, I'm alright just very clumsy and apparently very rude." she said as she held out her hand " Hello, I'm Keeley, I am so sorry I ran into you. I was looking at the ground and yeah I didn't think about it" she said quickly. Seth and Roman smiled at her, both for their own reasons. Roman was smiling at her because she was too sweet for her own good, but she was a bit more badass than she let on. Seth on the other hand was smiling because he could listen to her voice all day long and not be bothered in the least bit, even with those thoughts running through his head he didn't show it as he smiled at her.
" Keeley?" said Roman asked. She nodded her head and looked at him as if she was waiting for him to ask a question. " isn't that the name of one of the contest winners the family was telling us about?" he asked Seth then looked at her. Once again she nodded her head " that would be me, the other one is Evelyn my grandmother." she told him with a wide smile as she looked down at her watch. " and I am about to be late for my dinner date." she told them with a sad smile " but I will say this absolutely love the two of you and I hope to see you around this week, I know you are going to do amazing at the pay per view." she told them with a confident smile.
Seth could feel the blush creeping up in his cheeks, and Roman smiled " look at that we got the good support brother. We gotta keep an eye on this one." he said pointing at Keeley. She laughed lightly and blushed, " well if you gentleman would excuse me I really need to head off I don't want to keep any of the McMahons waiting. Seeing them mad on TV is bad enough. Thank you Seth so much from keeping me from busting my ass on my first day here. See you all soon! " she told them. Carefully she walked passed Seth and Roman offereing them both a smile as she headed for the elevator.
