I seriously meant to post this last night but, I got stuck late at work anyway here's chapter seven
Dom made it back to his post just as the pyros began and sat down catching his breath before he passed out. A few minutes later Victoria walked in looking less cheerful than usual.
" HELLO LOVER BOY"
"Hey Foxy mama, how lovely to see you" Rolling her eyes Victoria made herself comfortable.
" ya know you spend more time here than in the ring"
" ugh, don't remind me I feel like everytime I start to gain some momentum I get shut down and when I ask them about it I get that same old 'we've got something for you soon' Bullshit "
"Stick with it foxy you've got something special, someone'll pull their head out of their ass long enough to notice"
"hopefully soon" they continued their conversation until the familiar sound of 'special ops' began to play drawing both sets of eyes back to the monitor.
" ooohhh there goes your boo" the now more cheerful diva stated
" um.. weren't YOU the one playing pattycake with Mr. Good ,although . . . . . . . . Judging from the smile on your face Mr.'DAMN' Good"
" Shut up, I thought you loved me"
"I do but, you walked right into that one I couldn't help it"
" boooooo you su...….." the diva was silenced when Jon in full Dean Ambrose mode began to speak about their victory last night.
" Uh huh, what was that?"
"quiet" Dom was silenced by the diva and was about to retort when Colby started speaking earning him a nudge from Victoria.
they watched the rest of the show in relative silence until AJ came skipping out with tamina in tow and began her rant until she was interrupted by Paige who would go on to win the divas title.
"WHAT!"
"now foxy calm down"
" I work my ass off, I do WHATEVER the ask AND SHE GETS MY TITLE!"
" sweety it was AJ's titl…" A look eerily similar to the one that Stephanie gave him earlier brutally murdered the rest of his sentence before he could finish it. about 20 minutes after AJ's segment the former champ walked into the trailer looking strangely at peace.
" what was THAT" dominic started in immediately once the door was closed
" Nothing , I'm taking some time off to spend with Phil and i can't be champ and gone"
" I've been breaking my damn back and working no….wait…..JOBBING like hell all year they just hand it to her….unbelievable" With that Victoria stormed out of the trailer and Dominic only hoped that she didn't get herself fired
" SO how's Phil been?"
" alive….now onto more important matters I have reason to believe that large group of our coworkers saw you and you know WHO walking and talking and I demand details"
April Mendes was the biggest most hopeless romantic in the locker room and although she could be slightly ditzy at times she was also very 'd always noticed the way Dom looked at Colby and vice versa and she would have done something sooner if her wet blanket of a fiance wasn't such a spoil sport. When she had first been called up she had made it her mission to know EVERYONE she would be traveling could be a bit. . 'much' at times which was why not to many of their co-workers hung around with her .Dom's theory as to why she'd spent the time that she wasn't training or wrestling to fill his life with her own special brand of joy was that she had driven everyone else off with her way to friendly personality. He normally didn't mind AJ but, put her with Nikki ,Victoria and more recently Renee it usually ended up bad for him.
"does EVERY diva absolutely have to know every sordid detail of my love life , first the dates and now gossip... This isn't an episode of Will and Grace"
" Come ON caveman we're better than that , we are not Will and Grace"
" thank you"
"We're Jack and Karen"
"APRIL!"
"come ooooonnnnn Please"and now she was using the sad eyes on him and she knew that and the whine was pulling at his heartstrings. She was desperate for some information. one of these days he was going to make good on his promise to make new friends.
"NO I'm not telling you or anybody else"
"Tell her what exactly? " Came the Voice of the person that Dom had grown to REALLY appreciating over the last year he was still in his ring gear which made his ass look AMAZING though Dom would never admit it was the main reason he was always staring at the youngest shield member.
"OH. MY .GOSH .CAVEMAN..COLBY'S HERE, yaaaaaaaaaaayyyy" and Just like that he was the second most excited person to see him and the look on his face at AJ's strange greeting was nothing short of hilarious.
"Four visitors in one night I'm mr. popular , to what do I owe this one?"
"You never gave any details about dinner" an unnatural sound was heard making Dominic jump completely forgetting she was still in the room. . . .damn he was already in deep.
"How about Saturday we can grab something after the house show?
"Sounds like a date" The silence was unexpected Dom thought for sure the little demon would have broken the sound barrier after hearing that but, there was ...nothing . Turning his head and expected to see AJ dead from all of the excitement he was relieved to see she was alright but taken aback at what he DID see .Aj was holding up her phone , the little shit had actually skyped Victoria.
" are you serious right now?" Colby stated a little bit more than upset that his privacy was being violated he'd come to talk to Dominic not be a part of his very own reality show.
" you'll get used to them, besides . . . . "
For the third time that night Dom got a silencing look from somebody but instead of a rebuttal he thought it best to just clear the room. Once AJ and the rest of the peanut gallery were gone Colby seemed to visibly relax.
" Sorry about that"
"no problem….on to issue number two now that we're alone can you tell me why Eva's been giving me the stink eye ever since word got out about what happened last night"
" Genetics " he deadpanned causing the younger man to laugh.
" Be serious" Colby managed to say once he'd calmed down enough.
"Apparently Eva thinks that being with me can get her in Stephanie's good graces so she tries like hell to throw herself at me"
" Does she know you're gay?"
"I told her but i don't think it got through ...what time is your match?"
"I've got an hour ,don't change the subject"
The men spent the majority of the hour talking and Dom even managed to pry himself away from the monitors long enough to walk Colby to the shields entrance. after wishing the him and the other two members luck he headed to the back . taking a detour to catering suddenly in the mood for an apple. He grabbed his snack and headed back out casually waving at people he passed he stopped and talked with Tony the head of the ring set-up crew for a minute going over the plan for after the show . by the time he got back to the truck the match itself had ended and now it was just an all out brawl. Dom began straightening up the truck while keeping one eye on what was going on in the ring. A few moments later he received the all clear to end the show shutting off the live feed and going to get his tools from his car praying that Eva and Cameron managed to find another ride or learned the bus schedule. Sighing in relief when he found his car empty , grabbed his bag and headed back into the production truck.
As he headed back he noticed some of the superstars and divas had left and many more were headed back to the hotel to get a nap before catching their early flights. He saw a very familiar redhead walk out and ran like hell back to the trailer hoping that he wasn't spotted.
Well that was chapter seven, ain't AJ a HOOT. Sincere apologies for anyone who likes Paige I didn't mean anything negatively towards her and I don't have any negativities towards her. Read and review...
