Three chapters in one day?! I'm so proud xD So in this chapter there is more of Ted and Alex in the elevator. It's suitible for minors, don't worry :D We also hear from Alex's mum. Enjoy! :) xo
"Deal." He said with a grin as he turned to her. "I'm Ted. Ted DiBiase." He extended his arm out to her for a handshake.
Ted DiBiase, son of the Million Dollar Dream. No wonder he looked vaguely familiar. It then just hit her; Ted DiBiase is with the WWE on Monday Nights. That means they would be on the same show. What a horrible way to meet one of your colleagues. Not to mention he knows about my, relationship problems.
"And you are?" He asked.
Should I tell him my name? No. What if he sees me, well if we're working in the same building every night we're bound to bump into each other. What if, maybe I don't tell him my name and I just avoid him. Perfect, he doesn't know my name, he doesn't know I work with WWE; and he doesn't need to know it. Alex thought to herself.
"Well…?" He asked.
Alex was so lost in her thought, she didn't even think of what she was going to tell him. She must have looked like an idiot in front of him.
"I'm… Al- uh…" she paused trying to think. "Yeah, I'm Al." She said with a smile as she shook his hand.
"Al?" He repeated.
"Yes, Al. Is there a problem?" She asked.
"Oh no, none at all." He said. His facial expression was fairly blank and puzzled. He turned his body alignment around and placed his hands in front of his body as his eyes were placed on the elevator doors.
There was a long silence but it was soon broken when Ted cleared his throat. After about 2 minutes of a very awkward silence, it was finally broken by Ted, again.
"Are you sure it's not short for something?" He asked as he leaned in over to her.
Alex rolled her eyes. "Positive. I'm Al." She nodded with a smile.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Ditto." She mumbled under her breathe.
They both stood silent, their bodies stiff. The elevator doors eventually opened after what seemed to be an hour of silence. Both Ted and Alex couldn't get out of the elevator quick enough.
Alex was just a few feet out of the elevator doors when they closed. It didn't take her long to realize that she didn't need to be in the lobby.
"Crap," she mumbled as she ran towards the elevator, but it was too late the doors were shut. She pressed her index finger against the top arrow and waited. She crossed her arms and tapped her left foot against the hard carpeted floor impatiently. Checking the time on her phone, she realized it was 10: 10 am.
As Alex was waiting she realized she was meeting some of the divas with Kelly in 20 minutes! She looked semi-presentable. She was wearing jeans, and a black tank top with her favorite black knee-high boots. Her hair was slightly frizzy and her make-up was decent. As the elevator doors opened, she noticed Kelly standing there.
"There you are!" Kelly said as she stepped out of the elevator. "C'mon, we're meet some of the RAW divas in like 20 minutes." She said as she grabbed Alex's arm.
Once they reached the café, Alex instantly recognized the divas. There was Gail, Maryse, Eve and Alicia. They easily stood out from the crowds in the café. Alex ran her fingers through her hair as the two of them sat down with the four divas.
"You must be, Alexandra." Said Maryse in her thick French accent.
"Alex and yes, that's me." Alex said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you all."
The other 3 girls smiled.
"That's Gail, Maryse, Eve and Alicia." Kelly said as she pointed to each of the girls.
"It's nice to meet you." Gail said with a smile.
"Welcome to Monday Night RAW." Said Eve with a welcoming grin.
"Thank you, it means so much." Alex was very grateful at how nice the divas seemed to be.
The meeting with the divas was very brief. Alex was there for about an hour and a half before her phone began buzzing her pocket.
"Excuse me." She said politely as she reached into her pocket. "Hello?" She answered.
"Hello Alexandra, it's me, your mother."
"Oh Hi Mum." Alex said with a smile, though her mother couldn't see it. Alex was so glad to hear her mother's voice. "I'll be back, I just need to take this." Alex said to the girls as she stood and covered the mouth piece with her left hand.
"Sure. Take your time." Kelly said.
Alex nodded and pushed her chair in before heading towards the door.
"How are things?" Her mother asked.
"Good – just getting settled in." Alex said quietly. "How are things in New Jersey?" Alex said with a sigh. The faint sound of her home state made her instantly miss it.
"Alright. Listen, Alexandra sweetie; I got a call from Ryan today. He seems worried about you." Her mother explained.
He didn't, Alex though. He talked to my mother! What's wrong with him? Alex decided to play it cool, although she couldn't believe he would sink this low for nothing.
"Oh really? What exactly is he worried about." Alex said coldly.
"You. He thinks that being away from your family isn't doing you any good – and frankly, I agree with him."
"MUM!" Alex whined. She sounded just like a little girl, but she didn't care. " You can't be serious. I just arrived. I haven't even debuted yet and you're already siding with my boyfriend about my life? Mum for goodness sakes, I am 22! I have a license, I can drink; I'm a big girl. This is my career mum, my career. You can't take it away from me now, before it even began. Mum, you know this is what I want! You know! So why, why are you listening to him?!" Alex spat.
"I know sweetheart – but he's worried. I know he cares for you and I care for you but I don't think you're ready for this."
Alex shook her head, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be. My debut's tonight – watch it and I'll show you." Alex hanged up. She couldn't believe what Ryan was doing. It was like he was, controlling her life. She was sick of it, even her own mother sided with him. She couldn't deal with this now, maybe after her debut, but a couple of hours before? It was insane. She needed to get what just happened out of her mind. Alex walked into the café and put on a happy smile; at least as best as she could.
"I've got to go. I think I'll hit the gym – y'know, get ready before the show." Alex said with a smile. "I'll see you all tonight." Alex then finished with her goodbyes and went straight to her hotel room.
She got changed into a pair of black shorts and a yellow singlet. Alex put her long hair up into a pony tail before grabbing her iPod and headed to the gym. Once she got there, it wasn't crowded which was perfect. Alex immediately got on a treadmill. Placing her iPod headphones into her ears, she played the first song on her work-out playlist. This playlist contained songs that were fast paced, which helped a lot with keeping her athletic physique.
After about a half hour on the treadmill, someone eventually took the available treadmill next to her. Alex didn't even look over to them until they spoke. She couldn't make out what they were saying so she turned to them only to find it was the one and only, Ted DiBiase.
