A/N: I do not own the WWE, I only own Katy West. This chapter will set up for the next few. So please bare with me if it is a little on the slow pace, but I am telling you, it won't be slow very long after.
Katy was seated on the bed with her legs crossed Indian style with Paige on the opposite bed eating ice cream from a tub. Katy was starting to get a hang of things with the WWE, she met the majority of the roster, and they were very friendly to her, well mainly the guys. She got strange vibes from the divas, but Paige told her it was natural since she was new. Katy has her debut coming up as soon as she fully gets the hang of the business, which was a lot to do, but she was determined to get through everything to make it to the top.
"I really need to go and get my nails done." Paige said as she looked at her chipped black polish.
"Same. I have not been to a salon since God knows how long." Katy said as she looked at her own nails that were white and slightly chipped. She was never one to spoil herself rotten with pampering, but she knew that eventually she will be up to the neck with makeup,hair appointments and hair stylist. She did not mind it, but she knew it will take a lot of adjustment for her to get used to someone touching her face.
Katy was about to go out to the balcony for the beautiful Tampa air, but she was stopped in her tracks by her cell phone ringing.
"Phone." Paige said as she looked up from her laptop.
"No, really." Katy sarcastically said making Paige laugh, and throw her pillow, but Katy dodged it.
Katy read the number, and almost dropped the phone. She answered it almost immediately, and hoped she was not late for the pick up.
"Hello." She said as she took a seat next to Paige. Paige moved on in closer so she could hear who was on the phone with Kates.
"Hello Katy. It is Stephanie McMahon. Hunter and I have discussed a few thinks for your career here in the company, and we concluded that we want you to start your training."
Katy's eyes bulged out of her head as she heard those words, she was not scheduled for training for another three months. Paige clapped her hands and squealed in the background for her good friend. She was happy that she was getting a push from behind the scenes to get her debut quicker.
"Wow, thank you guys so much. I really did not expect this." Katy expressed on the phone as she took in all the new information.
"Yes, well we believe that you will really impact the Divas division, so why not spike your debut date with a little training. So, we will have one of the top superstars train and hone your skills to eventually be a pro. I know you have some gymnastic experience, so we want to concentrate away from high risk and to something you lack like regular and standard moves. Focus more on strength basically."
Katy nodded as if Steph could see her. "Okay, so when do I start?"
"We want you to start tonight because we have the WWE LIVE event, and you get there at the arena at around two hours before the show. This will allow you about an hour and a half with a free ring for you and your trainer. I will let you know who this person will be later on in the day since Hunter and I have not established that." She said as she lectured to the new diva.
Katy was now feeling her body tense up. "Today?" She asked herself mentally. She was not anywhere near close to get into the ring for actual training because she was still learning the actual basics like pinning forms.
"Thank you once again Steph.." She said before they both hung up.
"Oh my god! Kates, this is amazing! I wonder who they will pair you up with! Imagine Seth!" Paige ranted, but Katy's nervous system was allowing Paige to be background noises as she tried to focus on the fact that she will be officially making her way to the roster. Katy had to admit, now that things were becoming a reality, she was starting to really worry that maybe she was not fit for this career choice.
"I am going to go shower.." She said as she got up and left a confused Paige seated on the bed.
"Kates?" She asked, but Katy walked into the bathroom. Paige bit her lip and wondered how such great news could make her be effected so negatively.
Roman was in Dean's suite relaxing with him.
"Yeah babe I know. I will come around this weekend to see you and the house." Roman said as he laid on the bed with the phone to his ears.
"Good because the house is coming so nicely! I need help with putting up some of the painting, so of course I am going to have my jacked fiance help me." Jamie said as she flirtatiously giggled on the phone making Roman smile.
"I will be-" He was cut off with an incoming call. "Hey baby, I will call you in a few, I have to take this." He said before dropping the current call to get to the incoming one.
"Hello Stephanie." Roman said as he straightened up in the bed. Dean's head shot to Roman when he heard who was on the phone.
"Hello Roman, I was trying to get in contact with Dean, but I guess he was busy. Are you with him? Because you guys are always together."
"Yes we are Steph. Is everything okay?" He asked as his mind pondered on what the unexpected call was for.
"Nothing bad. Put the call on speaker please. I need Dean in this as well." Roman nodded and did as he was instructed. Dean walked over to the phone, and sat down next to Roman.
"All ears Steph." Dean said as he listened with full attention.
"Great, now I am sure you guys know about the new diva, Katy West. Well, the WWE is trying to push her as soon as possible, but in order to do that, we need someone to train her. We did not want a Diva because we want to work with her in a different aspect. So anyone of you two will work." She said to the two men. Roman thought about the opportunity, but Dean was first to respond.
"I can do it Steph." Dean said making Roman look at him.
"Alright Dean, she will be there two hours ahead of the event tonight."
"Copy Steph. I will be there." Dean said before they ended the call.
Roman was not sure why he felt a little off with Dean taking the offer, but it was annoying him.
"Hey man, I can do the offer.. I mean maybe just for today if you want. I know you wanted to go and see Crystal tonight before the show." Roman said as he tried to muster up a good enough excuse for Ambrose. Dean thought about the situation. Crystal was Dean's piece of ass for Tampa, so if he went to see her "out of the blue" he most likely would get laid.
"Alright, yeah man. Thanks for looking out for a bro." Dean said as he gave dap to Roman who knew he only said that because he rather train her. Roman hated Crystal because she spoke like nothing was in the upstairs department other than air. She was annoying, but Dean used her for the sex, thankfully nothing more.
Roman watched as Dean went to get ready for Crystal. He did not know if him taking up for Dean was smart, but he will have to go with it now.
Katy was in her black yoga pants and white sports bra. Her hair was tied up to a messy top bun as she stretched out in the ring. She was still nervous, and felt her heart race quicker with every second passing by. Katy fixed her banded wrist as she tried to preoccupy herself as she waited.
Roman walked into the arena with his basketball shorts and a black tank top. He was currently not in the mood because Jamie called him yelling because Roman forgot to mention that he lost a few vacation days due to him being a main eventer, and once she found out, she was pissed. Now with that ruining his mindset, he was really not in the mood to train Katy at all.
Roman walked down to the ramp area with the ring ahead of him. He saw a petite woman on the floor stretching out, and he exhaled as he tried to keep his anger at bay.
Katy heard the steps and turned around to see Roman Reings, the Superman of the WWE. Her heart rate was now over the roof, this man was always super sexy to her, but he seemed very closed off. As in he never really opened up to people, which was intimidating to the rookie.
"Alright so I am going to start off with conditioning, taking hits in the ring basically." Roman said flatly as he just got into the ring. Katy was quickly taken back by his cold words, but she assumed he was just being a typical trainer. She nodded before looking into his lighter grey eyes, and was in a trance. Both their grey shades colliding together as they stared at each other for a brief moment.
"So yeah.. uh.. conditioning." Roman said as he looked away, and back at the woman. Her eyes were stunning, was all he could think. This was going to be difficult, he thought mentally.
"Right.. conditioning. So where do we start." She asked as she felt her awkward self creeping up on her.
"Well, you are new. Do you know how to hit the ropes without stop for about three minutes?" He asked as he leaned on the ropes. Roman felt his stress coming back on him as he rested on the thick material, it was like all the tiredness, and fatigue hit him all at once. Katy nodded.
"Yeah.." She said as she felt her insecurities hit because she was kind of scared to train in front of him. It was weird, and she was not okay with it. This guy was pro, what if she did terrible and tells the boss about it, and she is fired before her actual career started.
"Katy?" Roman asked with anger leaking from his voice. Katy nodded as she felt the fears slowly linger around her mind. She started to hit the ropes up and down the fastest she has ever went before. Roman was not even paying attention as thoughts of his fiancee flooded his mindset. He was now enraged at how they fought, the heated argument over the phone replaying in his head.
"Alright stop." He ordered to her. Katy was now panting like crazy as she wondered what the hell was up with this guy that he acted like he had a dick up his ass. Katy nodded and walked back over to him. She would be stupid to disrespect Roman, so she had to take it for now.
"Okay, so you know how to set up for a body slam?" He asked as he got up from the rope and now was towering her short frame. Katy nodded as she felt her body shiver with his intense stares.
"Set up." He directed. Katy did what he asked for, and before she knew it she was up in the air and then slammed onto the mat, but it was not how she was used to being trained like before. He hit Katy hard, enough for her to feel a pain shoot up her body, which was not suppose to happen.
"What the fuck!" Katy shouted as she held her neck that hit the mat pretty hard. She knew she sat up for the move right because she never had a problem with it.
"You wanna work here and you can't take a simple fall." Roman chuckled. "I can easily see the WWE made a bad choice here." He said before shaking his head at her as he belittled her. Katy felt her anger build up along as she heard those words from his mouth. That hurt her core considering Katy looked up to Roman. She fought the tears as he just looked at her.
"I did the set up right. I know I did. You just manhandled me!" She shouted. Katy was never someone to be verbal, but she was not going to take Roman's nasty words especially when she did not deserve them.
"Stop bitching!" He roared making Katy take a step back. Now she felt a tear fall as the memories of being yelled at, and humiliated shot back into her mind like a virus contaminating her mindset. Roman saw the fear in her eyes, and finally realized how rude he was being, and he wanted to punch himself out. He saw her tear fall, but before he could respond she walked got out of the ring.
"Katy!" Roman yelled out but she kept walking down the ramp.
Kates felt her whole past haunt her again. She would be damned to let yet another being humiliate her. She was over all of that, and she was not going to let this happen again in her adulthood years. She heard Roman call for her but she did not care, she walked backstage and past through the crowd. Everyone was looking at the diva as she had streams falling from her beautiful eyes.
Roman went down the ramp and was mad still, but this time with himself. "Fuck." He muttered to himself as he turned the corner to enter the backstage.
"Where is she?" He asked some of the roster. They pointed down to the hall, and he followed the directions given. All he felt was the guilt of making her cry, she did nothing wrong. Roman was the one who hurt her, physically, and clearly mentally. He promised himself he would never hurt another female again. Seeing what he did to Katy made his insides churn as he wanted to slam himself into the mat.
As Roman was about to turn the corner, he heard crying in the bathroom. He was pretty deep in the backstage area, so no one was really here. He placed his ear on the door and heard the sobs, he knew it was Katy. He turned the knob, and to his surprise it was not locked, thankfully. Roman walked into the large bathroom, and turned to see Katy curled up in the corner with her head held down. She looked like she was holding something, but he did not know what.
"Katy..." He said softly as he knelt down to her. She wiped her face, and looked up to Roman with her sobs still coming out.
"Please leave…." She said as she looked at him with tear filled eyes. Roman sighed. He felt terrible for what he did, and he needed to rectify the situation.
"No I am not leaving..." He said as he watched the diva, and felt his heart ache at the sight in front of him. Never once did he expect to hurt another woman, ever since the last time, he made sure to never do anything remotely close to harming a female ever again. But here he was, comforting an innocent for something he did. Something his anger did.
"I am sorry… I am sorry that I did not get the move right. I know I am new, but-" Roman cut her off.
"Wait hold up. This is not your fault, at all. I was at wrong if anything.." He said as he tried to soothe her, but she kept crying more and more. "What the fuck did you do?" Roman asked himself.
Katy listened to his words, and was satisfied to hear him take the blame, but she still felt like she was in the wrong, as usual. She felt his hand pull her into a hug. Katy looked up to him as he engulfed her into an embrace. Roman enveloped the small lady as he rested his head on hers. He knew that he was going to make sure she was not blaming herself before he walked away from her. Roman felt his dominant side come out as he held her, almost as if he wanted to protect her. It was a strange feeling, but it was there. He let her cry into his chest as he rubbed her back soothingly. After a few minutes, her sobs lessened.
"Thank you..." She finally said after taking a few moments to calm done. Roman let her go, and she looked up to him. She felt this odd feeling as he held her. She was not used to being touched by a guy, and feeling what she just felt was new to her.
Roman looked down to the beautiful woman, once again with both shades mixing with each other.
"Not a problem.. like I said.. it was my fault." Roman knew at that moment he was never going to hurt her, even by mistake. Katy had something innocent to her that he has not seen in women his age in so long. It was almost angelic.
Katy nodded before getting up and fixing herself in the mirror. Roman watched as she did so, and he once again he was admiring her features. She was different and unique looking. She was stunning, and he was lost for a moment. Her grey hair was a little messy in the bun, but the small baby hairs fell gracefully around her face. Her eyes were a few shades darker than his, and it was almost like it always had a shimmer in it. To make her even more of a show stopper, her body was curved out with a nice full and plump bottom. Roman could not get his eyes off her.
"Ready?" She asked snapping him out of thought. Roman smiled at her and nodded. He walked out first. Before the diva went to exit the bathroom, she threw away something wrapped in paper. It was stained with some blood, but she was the only one in the bathroom to see. She readjusted her banded hand that looked like ring gear before exhaling and walking out, leaving the object in the trash.
"So how about I let you punch me in the face?" Roman joked.
"Can I please..."
