A/N: I'm not sure what that one review meant, but anyways, here's the next chapter. I own no one, only Shantelle. Also, James is Jimmy Wang Yang. I noticed in some pictures that Shane posts on Twitter that James, Shane, and Matt always seem to travel together so that's why he's in this story. Enjoy!
The next morning came all too quickly for Matt as he climbed out of his bed, sighing softly. He had another drive to make to the arena in Georgia, and with the group of people he was going with this time, there was yet another risk of being late. He sighed once more and stood up from the bed, making his way to the bathroom for a shower. After getting his shower and changing, he walked out to the front door with his bags and left them there before heading into the kitchen to get something to drink.
As he reached for a bottle of water, he heard the doorbell ring in the distance. He groaned faintly, and grabbed the bottle of water before heading for the front door. He opened the door quickly, a smile coming to his lips when he saw Shantelle standing there.
"Good morning Matt. Shane said I'm driving with you guys," she said with a grin. He nodded, stepping back so she could come in. Shantelle walked into the house with her bags, leaving them with his before turning back to him. "When are we leaving?"
"As soon as Shane and James get here. We're taking their rental car this time," answered Matt, shutting the front door and walking into the other room before flopping down on the couch. Shantelle followed him, and took a seat on the couch next to him. They sat there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before the doorbell rang again. Matt rose from the couch and walked to the door, opening it to find Shane and James standing there.
"Lets get this show on the road!" said Shane happily, clapping his hands together. Matt chuckled at him before stepping back to get his bags. Shantelle walked up to them at that point and grabbed her bags as well, eager to get going.
"Oh before I forget, James this is Shantelle," said Matt, introducing Shantelle to James. He grinned brightly at her, shaking her hand.
"Pleasure to meet you Shantelle," he said before grabbing some of the bags and taking them to the car with Shane. After getting all of the bags into the car, they climbed in themselves and drove off down the road.
"So are we stopping for breakfast later or what?" asked Shane after a few minutes of silence. Matt shrugged, gripping the steering wheel tighter as he shifted around in his seat.
"What do you guys think?" he asked, looking in the rearview mirror at Shantelle and James. He raised an eyebrow though when he saw both of them asleep.
"Well I guess they can't help us," said Shane, turning back in his seat to look at the two sleeping figures briefly before looking forward once more. Matt nodded, returning his attention to the road once more. They drove along for a few hours in silence, neither of them having anything they needed to say. After a few hours though, Matt began to grow tired of driving, and the car was in serious need of gas. He sighed heavily and looked around the sides of the road for signs leading to a gas station. When he finally spotted one, he pulled off the freeway and drove along for a bit before pulling into the parking lot. He pulled up next to one of the pumps, and then proceeded to smack Shane awake.
"Hmm?" he asked as he opened his eyes, and looked over at Matt tiredly. Matt pointed to the gas pump, then at Shane.
"You're buying gas this time so get out and get to work," answered Matt as he opened his own door and stepped out, stretching out his legs as he did. He could hear Shane grumbling softly from inside the car before getting out and starting to put gas into the car. The noise, however, awoke the two in the back.
"What's going on?" asked Shantelle, looking around.
"Are we there yet?" asked James, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"No we're not there yet, we needed gas and you two need to wake up already," answered Matt, leaning against the car while waiting for Shane to finish. Shane looked over the top of the car at Matt, glaring at the back of his head.
"Chill man, what's gotten into you?" asked Shane, stepping to the side as Shantelle opened her door to climb out.
"Nothing, I'm just tired," answered Matt with a shrug, turning his gaze back to the passing cars. Shantelle glanced at Shane then looked back at Matt.
"Maybe one of us can drive for a while," she suggested softly.
"Nah, we've only got a few more hours to go," said Matt, climbing back into the car. Shantelle frowned faintly before climbing back in as well as Shane finished up with the gas. Once he was back into the car as well, they pulled out of the station and made their way back onto the freeway, silence once more appearing in the car.
A few hours later found them pulling into the hotel parking lot, all of them eager to get out of the car. With groans from all of them, they climbed out of the car and gathered their bags before heading into the hotel. Matt led the group to the front desk, and smiled at the woman behind the desk. He took care of the rooms, and then returned to the others with the keys.
"Hope you don't mind Shantelle, I said you'll be sharing a room with Shane," said Matt, handing the key card to her.
"I don't care, I've shared with worse," she said with a laugh, walking off with Shane. They walked over to the elevator and took it up to the tenth floor, then made their way to the room. Shantelle unlocked the door and walked in, throwing her bag onto the nearest bed. She then sat down next to it, falling back on the bed tiredly. Shane chuckled softly at her as he shut the door then sat down on his own bed, his bag resting on the floor next to him.
"So Shantelle, tell me, how do you know Matt?" he asked curiously, raising an eyebrow at her. Shantelle rolled onto her side and looked over at him, smiling faintly.
"Oh I'm Shannon's older sister. I'm five years older than him," she answered as she sat up on the bed, and then stood up. "Now tell me, what exactly am I suppose to be doing for our storyline?" she asked curiously, raising her own eyebrow at him.
Shane chuckled softly, shaking his head at her. "Sorry dear, I can't really give much away since well I don't know much. All I know is that you're going to be sort of like Mighty Molly, remember her?" he asked, not really sure if she would even know who that was.
"I remember Molly. So you're saying I'm going to be a superhero like you? Well that's just wonderful," she said with a laugh, shaking her head at the idea. "Guess I can get a super awesome costume too right?"
"I don't know about that. You'll have to speak to Tiffany tomorrow about that one," he said with a laugh. "But I'm thinking you will have. I mean, you can't be like Mighty Molly without a costume."
She nodded, smiling at him. As she went to open her mouth to say something else, her cell phone ringing interrupted her. She grabbed the phone from her bag and held it to her ear, not bothering to check the caller ID.
"Hello?" she questioned as she glanced curiously over at Shane. She couldn't think of anyone reason for someone to call her.
"Hey Shantelle, dear. It's Matt. James and I were wondering if you and Shane wanted to join us for dinner then a movie in our room?" he questioned. Shantelle pulled the phone away from her ear briefly, asking Shane if he wanted to or not. Shane nodded his head before standing up and heading into the bathroom.
"We'd love to join you. We'll see you in the lobby in an hour," she said with a grin before hanging up the phone. She stood up from the bed afterwards and pulled her bag off of her bed, placing it on the floor before heading to the bathroom after Shane stepped out of it. She walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her, before stepping back out a few minutes later.
An hour later, Shantelle found herself walking into the hotel lobby with Shane. She glanced all around but couldn't see Matt anywhere until she heard someone calling her name from behind her. She spun around and smiled, spotting Matt and James heading towards her and Shane.
"Hey there Matt, where we going?" she asked once they were close enough.
"James spotted a fabulous diner down the street so we can go there and then go watch our movie up in our room afterwards," answered Matt, taking her arm in his and walking out the door with her, followed closely by Shane and James. They decided since the diner was only a few buildings down from the hotel to just walk there since it would be a bit useless to pull a car out just for that. They walked in their small, loud group to the diner and walked in, laughing at a joke that Shane had made. The waitress looked up at them, and then directed them to a table in the back. Sitting down, they scanned over their menus before ordering their food.
A little while later, the group was back in Matt and James' room sitting around while Matt flipped through the stations on the TV looking for a movie.
"I can't believe you invited us without a movie already being chosen," commented Shantelle from her spot between Shane's legs as he leaned back against the headboard. Matt looked over at her with a glare before looking back at the TV. The comment she made didn't really bother him, but the fact that she was sitting like that in Shane's arms was bothering him greatly.
"Hey how about that one?" asked James, pointing over at the TV. They looked over at the TV, raising an eyebrow at James' choice of Crossroads.
"Erm, James. I love you man, but no fucking way," answered Matt, flipping past the channel. Shantelle and Shane laughed softly at the pout that was now appearing on James' face.
"Aw James I'm sure you can watch that some other time," said Shantelle, laughing softly. James rolled his eyes then looked back at the TV, silently pouting. "Oh how about that!" said Shantelle, pointing at the TV herself at See No Evil.
"I have to deal with that man on a regular basis, I do not need to watch him in a movie that will likely give me nightmares," said Matt, flipping past the movie. Shantelle rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest and pouting at Matt.
"I agree. Glenn scares me enough as it is, I don't need to see him mass murdering people!" said Shane, shaking his head quickly. Shane stopped after a moment and pointed at the TV. "Oh how about The Marine?"
"Better than any of the other shit we've found," said Matt, throwing the remote onto the TV and settling back against the headboard so he was sitting next to Shane. They watched the movie in silence, each of them not really all that into the movie but none of the other choices were all that great.
After the movie was over, Shantelle and Shane left Matt's room for the night, and proceeded up to their room. Shantelle walked into the room first, and headed over to her bag, digging around for some pajamas. She then stood up and went into the bathroom to change while Shane changed in the other room, then climbed into his own bed ready to fall asleep. Shantelle returned to the room then and climbed into her own bed, falling asleep a few minutes later, eager for the next day, her first day as a wrestler to start.
