First things first, I'm really sorry I havent updated in so long, I've been busy. But here is the next chapter, so enjoy(:

Watch Your Back

I walked through the familiar corridors of the arena 'WWE Monday Night Raw' would be taking place in tonight. I hadn't seen or heard from legacy since the encounter at the hotel and that made forgetting all about them that much easier.

The halls were mostly empty, except for the tech guys and the other workers setting up for the show. I exchanged greetings with a few, an ever present smile plastered to my face.

I was making my way to the Diva's locker room. I knew exactly where it was. Ironically enough, it was always located near catering. One would think they wouldn't want us around all the food. To me that was just like a slap in the face saying 'get fat so we can fire you'. But of course that was just my opinion -not a proven fact.

I could already smell food, thank god. Usually it took me forever to find catering, but tonight I couldn't risk staying out in the halls. The longer I lingered, the likelier the chance I would run into Cody or Ted.

I was just about to turn a corner, when I heard an argument. I wasn't close enough to know what they were saying, but neither guy was very happy with the other. I heard a loud crash, a few swear words echoed around me, and then all noise ceased to exist; the corridor was filled with an eerie silence.

I sucked in a quick breath, before continuing my journey to the locker room. Adjusting the position of my bags strap on my shoulder, I rounded the corner. It was then I ran into something hard. My first thought was that it was a wall, but even I'm not that clumsy.

The hard collision had caused me to tumble to the ground, along with everything out of my purse, including my blackberry. I quickly bent down to pick everything up, and I shuffled everything back into my bag. As soon as I reached for my phone, it was gone. I glanced at the person squatting in front of me, and came face to face with the famous smirk of Ted Dibiase Jr.

So much for avoiding Legacy.

He extended his hand; offering me my phone. I snatched it away, and quickly stuffed it into my pocket. I rose to a standing position, dusting myself off in the process.

Ted stood up with me, "So, Kelly. That performance you put on in the hotel lobby the other day," he looked at me then, a glint of proudness in his eyes. "Fantastic!" He exaggerated the word, and clapped for me. He sent a smug smile in my direction, before he leaned against the wall and folded his arms across his chest.

I stared at him, my lips curled up into an amused smile. His sarcasm was actually quite delightful, it gave me something to laugh about.

When I didn't reply, he lifted himself from the wall, unfolded his arms, and threw his arms out on either side of him. "I mean, come on Kelly, people don't give you enough credit for your acting skills. In my book, you could be the next Reese Witherspoon." He smirked at me.

"You really think you're funny, don't you, Ted?" I glared at him.

"Yeah, actually, I do," He refolded his arms once again and stared at me.

I ignored this, and walked around him, proceeding in the direction of where I thought the locker room was.

"Oh, and Kelly? You're lucky you listened to me." He paused for a moment." About Cody, that is."

I whirled around, "Oh, really? Am I now?" I gave him a quizzical look. "Because, Ted. For your information I'm not scared of you, or your consequences."

"Is that so?" Ted lifted his hand and rubbed his chin, thinking. He immediately dropped it and looked at me suddenly, "Then why did you listen to me?"

I shrugged, "I thought it would be fun. But in my honest opinion, Ted, I don't believe you would have done anything to me even if I didn't listen."

He looked at me, astonished. "And why is that, Kelly?"

I glanced up him, smirking. "Because, you're all talk -no action. You are all bark, but no bite."

"So you don't think I will ever do anything," It wasn't a question. "Well, Kelly, you will regret that."

My heart nearly stopped when I saw the sinister smile on his features. I began to glance around myself, nervously. Trying to compose myself, I took a deep breath. "Hm. We'll see." and with that, I turned on my heels and walked away.

I turned around just in time to see someone with dark hair walking away.

Damn eavesdropper.

Rounding another corner, I spotted the diva's locker room. The sign on the door written in big pink and sparkly letters, my two favorite things.

The locker room was always crowded, and all the gossip that was usually going on would be just the thing I needed to get my mind off things. You could imagine my disappointment when I opened the door to an empty room. The girls bags were here, but they weren't.

I sat my bag down on an empty spot on the metal bench, and began to rummage through it. I pulled out my attire for tonight, and kicked my Nike's off.

As soon as I began to pull my shirt over my head, I heard the door open. I didn't think anything of it.

Until I heard the click that signaled the door was being locked - from the inside.

I instantly tensed, and yanked my shirt back down over my exposed midsection. It's kind of funny, the first word that came to mind at this moment was rape. But rape isn't funny, and neither is this situation.

"So, Kelly. You're with Mike now."

I nearly gasped; the voice was so familiar. I turned around slowly, preparing myself for what came next. I stared right into the blue orbs of the one superstar I thought I had gotten rid of.

I shrugged in his direction dismissing his presence, as if it didn't effect me - even though it did. "It's just a date." I turned back around and pretended to search for something in my bag.

"Well, in that case, have fun."

I turned around, looking at him again. I ran my eyes over the length of his body, measuring him. I took in his black v-neck shirt and light wash jeans, coming to rest on his face. He was leaned against the wall opposite of me - looking positively gorgeous, I might add.

"Thanks, I guess?" I folded my arms across my chest and stared at him defiantly. He's being way to nice, considering the things I said to him the other day.

"You're welcome," He smiled at me, but something about it just… creeped me out.

I returned the smile, though I'm not sure why. "Why are you here anyway, Cody?"

"No reason, just thought I would stop by; say hello." He shrugged as if it was nothing. And it wouldn't have been if it was anyone else, but it was Cody Rhodes.

"And yet, you haven't even said hello." I eyed him suspiciously. "So, what are you really here for?"

In an instant he was standing right in front of me. I gasped, our bodies only inches apart. His 6'1 frame towered over my own 5'5 one; intimidating me. He took a step closer which caused me to back away until my back hit the hard concrete wall.

I could feel his warm breath on my face as he said, "I came here to warn you."

"Warn me about what?" I whispered, breathlessly. The intensity of this moment making me speechless - and lightheaded.

"It's not what, it's who." He looked me in the eyes, and I was sure I would have fell to the ground if Cody's hands weren't resting on my hips. My breathing was jagged, and I cursed myself for being so effected by his presence. He was still staring at me; two pairs of blue eyes staring into each other. "Ted, to be exact.

"Why are you warning me about Ted?" I could barely understand myself for the deep breaths I was taking to try and compose myself.

"Because you're wrong about him," He continued to stare at me intently, as if trying to figure out my reaction, which was a furrowed brow. "Ted will live up to his word, he will hurt you; not physically, though. Mentally."

I stared right at him, confused. I shivered as he ran his hands up my side softly, before they came to rest on my shoulders. "But he has no reason to hurt me, I listened to him."

"Yeah, but I didn't." And for a brief moment I saw a look of desire, of lust, in his eyes. And then he cradled my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine.

The embrace didn't last long - not longer than a fraction of a second. But it lasted long enough to send a warm, tingly feeling down my spine and throughout my entire body.

He turned around and made his way to the door. Once there he unlocked it. He grabbed the knob, but before he opened it he turned back to me. "Kelly, you might want to watch your back. Because at some point you will be mine, but Ted…" He paused. "Well Ted's going to make you pay the price for it."

And then he disappeared through the door, but I continued to stare at it. And stare it. And I stared at it until I was surrounded by excited and talkative divas, and even then I continued to stare; my eyes still wide, my breathing still uneven.

The next chapter should be out sometime next week, if I ever get off my lazy ass and write it.
It's gonna be about Kelly's date. :P
So until then, review.
xoxo-Kayla.
