Chapter 8: Club Fight
The club was packed, but the Divas were able to sweet talk their way into the VIP section, where it wasn't so crowded. Most of the girls were either getting their drinks refilled or dancing, except for Megan, Paige, Nikki, Brie and Natalya, who were hounding Megan for details.
"Okay, we have been here for almost three hours; it's time to spill the beans."
"About what?"
Natalya looked frustrated as she glanced at Nikki for some backup before sipping on her Cosmo.
"There is obviously something going on between you and Dean, so what is it?" Nikki asked.
"Yeah, the last time we saw Eva Marie act so cold towards another Diva was when Cody broke up with her for Emma. And that was almost two years ago!" Paige added as the four of them looked down at the dance floor, seeing the distance between the two Divas.
"Nothing is going on you guys! Honestly!"
"Then what was up with the two of you talking before his title match?" Natalya asked, signaling for another drink.
"That's just a set up for my first storyline."
"Do we have to force the details out of you or what?" Paige asked getting impatient.
"Okay, calm down. I will start somewhere near the beginning. When I woke up this morning, I looked around for Dean, but he wasn't in the room." Megan started, but was soon cut off by Nikki.
"You have already slept with him?! And I thought you were the good girl!"
"She didn't sleep with him Nikki! The hotel lost her reservations and Dean was kind enough to let her crash with him. Now shut up and let her finish!"
"Thanks Nattie, for clearing that up. Anyway, I was out on the balcony, enjoying the view of the beach when he came out to invite me to SmackDown to be a part of his backstage segment. Being the new girl, I didn't know how these things worked. He then told me that creative had gotten a hold of him and said that they want to incorporate me into a love triangle storyline."
"Well who is the third member of the triangle?" Paige asked, forever Captain Obvious.
"That would be the cute, perky little bimbo that Nikki has referred to so many times. That is where my first feud lies; Eva Marie vs the new girl."
"Okay, I have been following along pretty well, but I'm confused about one thing. Why did she freak out on you so bad on Monday?" Nikki asked, sipping her own fruity drink.
"Dean and I bumped into each other and she caught us talking. Then in the ring, she demanded to know why I was talking to her boyfriend. I reminded her that they broke up and she called me a liar. I mouthed off and told her about how he was flirting with me while I was stretching. Needless to say, she snapped."
"So nothing is going on between y'all?" Michelle asked.
"Nope, nothing." Megan said, lying through her teeth and fiddling with the cap of her water bottle.
Even at the age of twenty four, Megan hadn't had a drop of alcohol for quite a few years. She had drunk enough when she was younger to last her for a few more years.
"I hate to go all Captain Obvious on you since I know that's Paige's job…" Natalya paused as she earned a glare from the raven haired Diva.
"…but when you walked over to us in the lobby, I noticed that your lips were slightly swollen. Care to comment on that?"
Megan froze and knew that she was busted. Eyes wide open like a deer caught in the headlights, there was nowhere else to go. The three Divas moved in closer, making things even more awkward for Megan.
"Fine, we kissed before Nattie barged in!" She exclaimed.
"You what?!"
There was that banshee like scream again. The four Divas jumped, turning to see an irate Eva Marie towering over them.
"What did you just say?" she screamed again.
"Dean kissed me in his locker room after this title match." Megan repeated without missing a beat or losing confidence.
"You're lying! He couldn't have kissed you because he came straight to my locker room to celebrate his second reign as Intercontinental Champion."
"That is such a load of bullshit Eva and you know it."
"And how would you know Natalya?"
"Well, you are wrong about two things. One is that after his match, I walked in on them kissing. They only thought that I was glued to my phone."
"Then what's the other thing?" Eva asked through gritted teeth, and her face turning almost as red as her hair.
It was Megan who caught on to her other mistake. Beaming with a huge grin, she rubbed it in her face.
"Some girlfriend you were Big Red. This is Dean's first reign at IC champion." She said as a huge grin grew on her face.
By this time, Megan had stood up and was immediately flanked by Natalya, Nikki, Brie and Paige. In Eva's case, she had Emma, Alicia, and Lana, but they weren't firmly behind her.
"I…I knew that. It was a simple slip of the tongue is all."
"Just face it Eva, he has moved on. You should be doing the same thing." Nikki said in a comforting tone.
Dean's face fell, realizing that the Bella Twin was right. Then something in her head snapped and she lunged at Megan, only this time, there was no Dean to stop her. Tackling her around the waist, the two Divas fell to the ground.
Rolling around and switching dominant positions, Megan finally got the upper hand. She pinned Eva to the ground, and started to say something, but stopped when the redhead spit on her. Megan went from being cool, calm and collected to being royally pissed off in six seconds flat. She started to pull at Eva's fake red extensions, while Eva tried to claw at Megan's face. The other Divas were so shocked by what was happening that they did nothing to stop the fight and just stood there frozen.
Megan drew back a fist to punch Eva's lights out, when all of the sudden a pair of hands grabbed her around the waist, lifting her off of her fellow Diva. Megan thought about trying to fight out of her captor's hands, but there was something familiar about the way they felt against her body. Turning around, Megan was relieved to see that it was Dean holding her back. Eva finally made it back to her feet and started towards Megan again. This time, it was Natalya, Paige, Nikki and Brie who cut Eva off mid-stride. All four crossed their arms and shook their heads.
"So is that's how it's going to be, huh? Just drop someone who has been there for you for three years for someone you just met two days ago?" Eva spat.
"We aren't dropping you; we are dropping the drama that you cause." Natalya said.
"But doesn't that mean we are dropping her anyway?" Paige asked, confused.
"Oops, sorry I had a little blonde moment. I guess that it does. What do you think Brie?"
"I say we dump her and lose the drama." Brie agreed.
With one final huff, Eva turned on her heel and shoved past the other Divas. When she realized that no one was following behind her, she turned back around.
"Aren't you guys coming with me?"
Between them, only Alicia made her way after Eva. Emma and Lana made their way over to join Megan. Eva gave a hiss of disgust as she started to backtrack.
"Fine, if that's how it's going to be, I don't need you fake ass bitches. Screw you!" Still backtracking, Eva, followed by Alicia, made her way out of the club.
Feeling the comforting hand of Dean being placed on her hip, Megan fell into his body, hugging him tight. She felt another hand touch her shoulder, and turned to see Natalya standing there.
"Girl, no matter what I am here for you."
"Thank you Nattie, I appreciate it."
"I'm here for you too Megan." Brie said as she too moved over to Megan.
"Make that all of us. We girls with accents have to stick together." Paige said with a genuine smile.
"Thank you guys so much. I don't know what to say or how to repay y'all."
"Just do us all a favor, will you?" Nikki asked.
"Sure, anything."
"On Monday, kick her ass please!" Natalya said, finishing Nikki's thought.
"Oh, I plan on it!" Megan said as they all hugged each other.
After they parted, Megan turned her attention back towards Dean. Taking his hands, she pulled him over to an empty table. Sitting down, she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" he whispered in her ear, as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"Yeah, I'm a little shaken up, but I'm fine. So tell me something, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I ran into Roman down in the lobby after you left. He said that a bunch of the guys were going to a club to unwind and invited me along. I didn't think that when we got here, that I would have to pull you off of my crazy ex-girlfriend."
"It's a good thing that you did. Who knows what would have happened if I would have connected my fist with her face."
"Eh, having learned about your past, you probably would have broken her nose or knocked some teeth down her throat."
"You are probably right about that." Megan said with a chuckle as she snuggled in closer to the Lunatic Fringe.
"So what do you want to do? Do you want to stay here or leave?"
"Hmmm…let me think about it. I think that we should go back to the hotel room and pick up where we left off."
"I like the sound of that."
"I knew that you would."
They smiled at each other and shared a quick passionate kiss. Standing up, with a small wave to her friends, they left the club hand in hand.
