John is grabbing a bite to eat in catering when he sees Celeste coming toward him. "Hey Darlin'."
"Hi." She gives him a quick kiss. "Well, I took your advice."
"And?" John asks.
"I surprised everyone. Oh, and Seth agrees with you." she quips.
"Of course he does." John replies. "You're still nervous aren't you?"
"A bit, but not as much." Celeste responds, fidgeting with her long nails.
John places a comforting arm around her shoulders. "You'll do fine. Besides, this is wrestling, not the Academy Awards." They both laugh.
Everyone is enjoying the Christmas party when suddenly the Shield enter and begin attacking several Superstars. Every non-wrestler and Diva runs off. The Shield take a look at the havoc they've created when they suddenly realize that one person hasn't run away. The three men walk toward the petite Celeste Star. "Aren't you afraid of us, little lady?" Dean asks.
Celeste chuckles. "Afraid? No way. Actually, I enjoy your work."
"You do?" Seth retorts.
"Yes, I do!" she insists. "I've been watching all of this injustice happen in WWE for a LONG time. Never knew how to remedy the situation myself. So, I like the way you boys handle things. Maybe you'd like some help."
The men look at each other then back at her. Roman responds, "We'll think about it." He smiles. "So, do you see anything else you like about the Shield?"
Celeste smiles while looking him over. Then her eyes move over Dean. Finally she grins at Seth and notices something over his head. He, Dean and Roman follow her gaze to see the mistletoe. She grabs Seth's face and forcefully presses her lips to his for a steamy kiss. She pulls back and giggles. She gives a sexy little wave. "Bye boys." she says, while only eying Seth and walks away.
Roman lets out a wolf howl. "Well that certainly answered the question."
"Yeah…" Seth responds with a snicker. "That was a sweet answer."
Dean pats Seth on the back. "Way to go man."
Celeste is sitting alone at a table having a bite to eat.
Seth walks up and asks, "Mind if I join you?"
She shakes her head. "No, have a seat."
"You were…very convincing in our scene." he states.
She smiles sheepishly. "Well, John reminded me that it's not the Academy Awards. So, I decided to relax and have fun with it."
Seth laughs. "It was fun. Hey, about what you were saying earlier…"
"What was that?" she asks.
"I'm only the third guy you've ever kissed."
"Yeah. To shock you even more…John's only the second serious relationship I've ever had." she reveals.
"Wow. I'm just surprised. You're a very attractive woman." He takes a drink of water.
"Well, thank you. But, I'm also very selective." She takes a deep breath. "Especially after my high school boyfriend cheated on me when he realized I was serious about not having sex before marriage."
Startled, Seth begins coughing. "Are you okay?" Celeste asks concerned.
He clears his throat. "Yeah, I'm just… Wait, you and John don't…"
"Nope." she states. "I guess I understand why it's assumed. With sharing the bus. But no. There are two beds. We have occasionally slept together, but not often."
Seth tries to get out of the now awkward conversation. "Ya know what? It's really none of my business. I shouldn't have asked."
"It's fine." Celeste insists. "I'm not ashamed to admit it at all. I'll be honest, sometimes it's har…um difficult. I'm human! But I made a vow to God, myself and my future husband a long time ago." She twirls her engagement ring around her finger. "I'm glad I found someone that respects that. Took me a while to talk myself into having a relationship with John. Really didn't think he'd be able to deal with it."
Seth finds himself intrigued by what he's just heard. "Well, anything is worth it if you're with the right person."
Later during Raw
The Shield enter the arena through the crowd and attack Ryback. "Didn't these guys do enough damage backstage already?" Jerry Lawler asks.
"Such destruction wherever these three men go." announces Michael Cole. "Wait a minute…Look up at the top of the ramp. It's Celeste Star!"
Celeste stands with her hands on her hips and a smile on her face admiring the Shield's handiwork.
"Well we did see her ask the Shield if she could join them. Then she planted a kiss on Seth Rollins that nearly burned the beard off of his face."
As the Shield leave the ring Seth notices Celeste at the top of the ramp and smirks. She waves then returns backstage.
She finds John standing next a monitor, laughing. "What's so funny?"
"King!" he answers. "He said your kiss nearly burned the beard off of Seth's face."
Celeste laughs. "That's not the most colorful commentary he's ever given."
"I'm just glad that you've gotten over your nerves. You are a pretty convincing little vixen."
"Yeah. I've always heard it's more fun to play a heel. I know I'm not full-fledged heel, but I'm looking forward to where this goes."
