A/N: HOLY NEXUS CAKES THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! Seriously, for those who have actually taken the time to review, thank you. The response I got for this story which I honestly believed would get nothing reminds me of how this site used to be when I first started. Keep it up, and I'll keep it up! And please, check out my other new stuff and review that, too.
"Ted will come and find me, you know," Maryse spat at Wade Barrett, fighting against her bindings.
"I wouldn't squirm if I were you, dear. It'll leave marks on that pretty skin of yours, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?" Wade asked as he stood up straight, circling around Maryse in the chair.
Maryse stopped fidgeting, but her body remained tense. "Ted will find me and he will kill you."
"Really?" Wade gasped in mock surprise. "Hey, Frenchie, do you even know how long you've been here? If you don't, let me enlighten your litte pea brain. You've been out cold for four hours. The show is over. Everyone's gone. If Ted was really going to come for you, he would have already."
Maryse's face turned to a look of horror when she realized that Wade spoke the truth. However, she didn't want to believe it. "No...He's looking for me. Any man would be foolish not to come after me. I mean look at me! I think even you-"
"Oh, bloody hell, woman, shut your trap! Don't you think that there's more important things in this world than a beautiful woman?"
"No..."
"Well, there is. If I wanted to kidnap a beautiful woman, I could have nabbed any of these horrible Divas. But no, Maryse, I chose you. Why do you think that is?" Wade stopped pacing in front of Maryse. He once again bent down to her level, placing a hand on each arm of the chair that Maryse was tied to.
"Because I'm the sexiest of the sexy?" Maryse giggled. Even in a serious circumstance such as this, Maryse couldn't help but be her cocky, arrogant self.
Wade rolled his eyes. "Money, you twat! We," he said, pointing to himself and each man standing around the room, "kidnapped you." He pointed to Maryse and spoke slowly, as if explaining the situation to someone who was stupid. "We want Ted's money. We figured the bloke would be dumb enough to pay up to get you back, but he's smarter than we thought. He hasn't come running for you yet, and I don't think he will."
"So why don't you let me go?" Maryse asked, batting her eyelashes at the leader of Nexus. "You have no use for me."
"Collateral. We don't get our money from anyone, then you don't return to the WWE. Someone will pay for you...eventually. And until then, I'm ready to wait." Wade stood up again and snapped his fingers. "Boys! Time for phase 2."
"What's phase two?" Maryse asked, shooting Wade the dirtiest look she had ever given to anyone.
"Don't worry about it. All you have to worry about is being a good little girl and staying here and not causing any trouble." Wade patted Maryse on the top of the head as if she were a child.
"I have to use the bathroom," Maryse lied.
Wade let out a heavy sigh. "Women," he muttered. "Otunga! Tarver! You're coming with me. I don't need all four of you. Gabriel and Slater, stay here with the girl. Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." Wade tossed a keyring to Justin Gabriel, who caught it effortlessly.
"You got it, sir," Heath Slater answered, nodding his head. Justin Gabriel, a man of few words, simply nodded his head.
"Let's go, gentlemen," Wade said. He turned on his heel and was closely followed by David Otunga and Michael Tarver. The trio left the room, and Tarver slammed the door behind him.
A few minutes after they left, Maryse relaxed now that Wade was gone. She decided that Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater were the least threatening members of Nexus. "Okay, you can let me go now," she laughed. "Your leader is gone and you can be the heroes. Just do it."
Heath and Justin looked at each other and smiled. Heath started untying Maryse from the right and Justin from the left. When she was untied, Maryse stood up and strutted towards the door.
"Not so fast, princess," Justin said, reaching the door before Maryse and blocking it.
Heath laughed. "You ain't that pretty, girl."
