A/N: I do not own the characters. Just the OC
Chapter 7: Worried
Kevin and Mike were in Mike's dressing room, Kevin was pacing up and down the room as Mike continued to wash his face. Mike came out of the bathroom, patting a towel over his face.
"What's with you?" Mike asked, looking at Kevin. He had a worried look on his face as he stopped pacing the room.
"I just.." Keivn said, sighing. "Do you think what we did was right?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean, what do I mean? What we just did to Robbie..."
"This is good for her, she needs this Kevin."
"I don't know Mi-"
"Wait, wait. Are you actually feeling sorry for her?"
Kevin didn't awnser, he sucked in his lips, slightly afraid of what he's about to say. Mike sighed at Kevin's silenced and ran his palm over his face.
"Look, Kevin I know this may seem like a shocker to you but Robbie doesn't need you to feel sorry for her, okay? If she can't take this she can go back to FCW."
Kevin was about to respond, when suddenly he heard his cellphone go off in his duffle bag.
"Better go get it. It might be Melanie again."
Kevin hesitated, wanting the cellphone ring and go to voicemail. But he just couldn't bare the gruling yelling he would intake in the future. He went to his bag and pulled out the cellphone. The same look of grimmace washed his face again; Mike was right, Melanie was calling again.
Kevin stood up and made his way to the door as he picked up the call.
"Hey Mel..."
After finally calming down, Robbie changed into some regular clothes. She wore a creamy colored knotted crop top, high waist black jeans and a pair of knee high russet colored flat boots. She walked through the arena with her cigarette and lighter in hand. She opened the backdoor, the cold air hitting her face a bit. She was about to move to the side of the building, isolating herself, but she stopped herself short as she saw Kevin standing there, phone glued to his ear. He froze in place as the diva was standing in front of him. Robbie put the cigarette in between her lips and brought the cigarette to the end, lighting it.
"Uh.." Kevin said, just staring at Robbie. Robbie raised an eyebrow at him, exhaling the smoke into the air. "I'll call you back okay? Vince has me going into a meeting."
Right away the other end hung up on Kevin, obvously still infuriated with him. Kevin sighed and put the phone away, he looked at the striking Diva and hid his hands in his pockets.
"Hi.." Kevin said.
"Hi..." Robbie said, exhaling more smoke.
The tension was awkward between the two of them as they both of them tried to figure out what else to say.
"I um.." Robbie began, breaking the tension. "I'm sorry about your head...I was in the moment."
"Oh..that.." Kevin said. "I-I don't mind really. I probably would have done the same thing."
It got quiet again, still very awkward. Kevin watched her as she continued to smoke. It surprised him to find out she had been smoking, she had been apart of the WWE for more than a couple of months and he's finding out just now. Of course, this is the most time they've ever made contact with each other.
"You know...if it's any consolation..I think you're an amazing wrestler."
"Thanks.."
"No really, I mean it. I think you're impeccable. And um...I feel bad for what we did. Character, you know?"
"Yeah, I know. You had to do what you had to do right? Our creative team work like that right?"
"...Right..."
Kevin wanted to tell her badly, how it wasn't the creative team's last minute doing, it was Mike's. It was Mike's idea to go to the ring after she won the match, to antagonize her and see if she would retaliate or not.
"So um...you and Mike are pretty close aren't you?"
"oh...uh, yeah every since NXT...pretty much inseperable I guess. We're like brothers."
"Hm, I'm not surprised. You guys could pass as twins."
"Yeah," Kevin chuckled. "We get that a lot."
"How come I've never seen you in FCW? I mean, most of the Divas I know now are from there."
"Oh, I didn't come from FCW, I mean I worked there as the girls physical therapist but I was barely around. I did my training at APW and the Bobby found me and uh...the rest is history I guess."
"Cool. So you and Bobby aren't really related?"
"Not in the literal sense, no, but he's always there for me."
Kevin nodded, understanding Robbie's answer. Robbie flicked the cigarette onto the floor, and she crushed it with her foot. She looked up at him, he was just plainly staring at her, she could feel her eyes boring into her skin.
"Are you okay?" Robbie asked, a litte uncomfortable.
"Oh uh.." Kevin said, snapping out of his gaze. He chuckled nervously and rubbed a hand on the back of his neck. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine."
Robbie looked at him confused, but she brush it off. If he had problems, he could go to Mike for help, not to her. But what she didn't know was that Mike couldn't help him, he had to figure out this problem for himself.
"Well..I better get going." Robbie said. "Long day tomorrow."
"W-Wait," Kevin said, stopping her. "I was thinking, I was enjoying our talk and um...maybe we can continue this someday?"
"Really? I um...that would be nice.."
"Great! So...uh, maybe I could take you out to breakfast tomorrow morning?"
"Oh..t-tomorrow? I'm sorry, but I've already made plans with someone tomorrow morning."
Kevin could fee his stomach drop as Robbie suddenly rejected him on point. Though he was in pain, he didn't want Robbie to know that; he kept a straight poker face and sighed.
"Oh..well, m-maybe another day?"
Robbie nodded and gave him a small smile, assuring him that she and him would have one on one time with each other one day. Robbie felt a bit bad having to reject Kevin like that, even if he looked solid like a rock, she could tell she hurt him bad.
"I guess I...should go on inside." Robbie said.
"Yeah, I should too." Kevin said, smiling a bit.
Robbie turned around headed for the door, when Kevin stepped in front of her. He reached down, opened the door and stepped to the side, waiting for her to enter the building.
"Thank you..." Robbie said, looking up at him.
"My pleasure." Kevin replied, smiling with his teeth.
Robbie stepped him and Kevin walked in after her. As he closed the door, he watched Robbie walk away, her hips swaying with no effort. He slumped his shoulders, disappointed he couldn't take her out tomorrow morning, but he had hope. He was going to get some one on one time soon.
He started to walk forward on his way to Mike's dressing room, but he stopped when he suddenly saw Robbie encounter someone in the hallway. Kevin cringed a bit as he saw the Viper talking to Robbie down the hall. He had nothing against Randy really, but with all of the stories he's heard he didn't trust the viper. Hearing he had been harassing the previous Divas before Robbie. Sure, he had also hear that those rumors weren't true, but he still didn't trust Randy.
As Randy put a hand on her back, he started to walk with her. But before he turned to walk along with her, Randy turned his head looking behind them and saw Kevin staring at them, the diva unaware. Kevin's jaw started to clench as Randy smirked at him, and he finally turned away to fully walk with Robbie. His blood started boiling as he watched them walk away with each other, and to make matters worse, Robbie wrapped her arm around Randy's waist and Randy fully wrapped hsi arm around the shorter one's shoulders.
It was early in the morning, around 5AM perhaps and on the night of, everyone was to drive out to the city for a house show. Kevin and Mike, decided to take this early morning opportunity to head over to a nearby gym in order to train themselves for the scheduled house show. It was early in the morning, so barely anyone was there.
Mike was spotting Kevin on the benchpress; they usually did work out on the same machine's together, they figured it was a way to pass the time when they worked out with a buddy.
Mike helped Kevin put the bar back in its place a she finished the set, and they switched places. But before Mike laid down, he couldn't help but notice a change in his "apprentice" today. He was barely talking to him.
"Hey," Mike said, sitting down on the bench. "You okay?"
"Yeah," Kevin said, leaning on the bar. "Why?"
"Nothing, you um...you're just barely talking today."
"It's nothing Mike, seriously."
MIke decided to let it go for now, but Mike knew him better. He wasn't okay and Mike knew why. Well, there were two reasons why: 1.) Melanie was always on his ass, and 2.) He knew Kevin was attracted, at least infatuated with Robbie. The last part he didn't approve at all. But who was he to tell Kevin what to do with his love life? Kevin was a grown man, he was sure he would make the right deicsion.
After they were done with the bench press, they made their way over to the dumbells located in front of the mirror. As Kevin lifted the 55lb weights, he looked up and saw Robbie's reflection in the mirror. She was far behind him, wearing a pair of red boxing gloves. Randy was there too, Kevin couldn't miss him, he was holding the punching bag infront of him as Robbie was throwing blows at it. So this was what she had planned this morning; an early workout with Randy.
Kevin couldn't deny it to himself, he was jealous. But why, he didn't know. He was engaged to Melanie and they loved each other. Although, over the past few months it didn't seem like they were. Kevin was torn between two decisions, break up with Melanie and end the nightmare, or keep pushing forward with the relationship. Of course he contemplated the first one, but he thought of the time and effort it took for the both of them to get this far into the realtionship, he would feel like a quitter if he ended the relationship now.
"Kevin.." Mike said, noticing Kevin's hypnotic gaze. Though he called him, kevin paid no mind. "Kev...Kev!"
"Huh?" Kevin said, finally snapping out of his trance, looking at Mike. "What?"
"You've been blanking out for the past five minutes, you're creeping me out!"
Kevin scoffed and continued to work out. He looked in the mirror, expecting to see Randy and Robbie still at the punching bag, but they were gone.
"What the hell are you looking at anyway?" Mike asked.
"It's nothing." Keivn replied, now trying to gether his focus on training his body.
