Chapter 10:
It only took a few days before Davina became restless inside her own home. Not even her music was keeping her calm. There was just too many thoughts running a marathon inside her head. She couldn't wait until Extreme Rules and then she could finally be where she wanted to be. Right beside Randy Orton. It was amazing to think back on when they first met and how quickly they grew close to each other. She missed him, there was no question about that and it terrified her just how much she missed being around him.
Rubbing the skin of her arms to keep herself from getting chills, she turned to walk back upstairs. Davina knew that when there was just too much on her mind, music wasn't going to flow out of her mouth. Thinking that maybe a run would help, she quickly put on a pair of sneakers and grabbed her earbuds from the dish on the counter by the microwave. After plugging them into her phone, she set her music on shuffle and bolted out the door.
"Hello Davina, another beautiful day today." An older woman commented as she stepped out onto her front porch.
"Yes it is, Mrs. Gray. I'm definitely enjoying it."
"Oh I'm sure, dear. When do you go back to work?"
"Sunday."
"I don't know how you handle that hectic schedule."
The sweet older woman had no idea just how hectic it really was. The traveling alone took up most of the free time you really had. It was nice being in one place; but the fact was, she was getting restless doing nothing at all. She wanted to wrestle. She wanted to be in front of all those people, pouring her heart out in the only way she knew how. "It keeps me busy. I wouldn't trade it for anything else."
"I've noticed that there has been a man over a couple times in the last few weeks. Is he a co-worker or someone special?"
"Let's just say he's a special co-worker."
A smile formed on her slightly wrinkled face. She knew that there was something forming between the two without even seeing them together. Davina loved her neighbor to death. She was probably the sweetest woman she knew. Always lending an ear to share whatever was on her mind. It was something she never had, considering her parents were gone before the age of thirteen. Ever since then, she's never let anyone in so close to her heart. Keeping everyone at arms length, including the man she thought she'd be spending the rest of her life with. There was always a barrier between said person and herself. That was just how she kept herself from getting hurt.
"You deserve to be happy. I'm always here to listen. I won't keep you, just thought I'd let you know that."
"Thank you. I appreciate that."
Waving goodbye, Davina took off down the palm tree covered sidewalk. The music flowed through her ears, letting her mind run with whatever it wanted. The humid air was almost suffocating; but it the most beautiful day she had seen since being home on injury leave. It was perfect for swimming.
Thinking about swimming it made her think about Randy kissing her in the pool. Her lips tingled just at the mere thought of it. She knew that she was in deep trouble if just a memory of a kiss could effect her like that.
Extreme Rules, Before Show
Davina walked into the arena with her bag trailing behind her. It felt slightly odd being there after being away from two weeks straight. Remembering exactly why she had been put on the injured list in the first place, brought back the wave of anger. She stepped around the corner to see Hunter and Stephanie talking to Seth privately.
Seth caught sight of her immediately. Her stunning features were dressed in a peach color lace tank top and short dark colored denim shorts. Her perfectly tanned legs were exposed to everyone's viewing and was met with a pair of strappy black sandals. He couldn't help but stare at her. The moment she came into touching distance, her scent waved under his nose. Intoxicating him.
"Welcome back, Davina." Hunter greeted extending his hand to her.
"Thank you. Is everything still the same tonight?" She asked hoping to god nothing had changed.
"Yes, no changes to your storyline." Stephanie answered.
She gave them a half-smile before continuing on towards the woman's locker-room. She wanted nothing to do with Seth at all and was happy to know that Hunter agreed with Randy's wishes and did not make her become his manager. "Wait up!" Seth called after her.
"What do you want?"
"You never answered any of my texts while you were gone."
"I wonder why..."
Seth didn't know how to get through to her. He wanted her to see him as a person not some horrible monster that helped Nikki execute a plan to get Randy. He had no doubt that Randy manipulated her into thinking he was nothing but bad news. "I said I was sorry for not telling you about the curb stomp, what else do you want me to do?"
"There is nothing you can do. I know you blindsided Randy before he left for his flight. I saw the split lip with my own eyes. I also know that you declared that I will be yours."
"Vina..."
"NO! I am no one's personal property. If you actually gave a damn about me, then you would have never said something like that. As far as I'm concerned, you can go to hell."
Turning her back to him, she continued on. She didn't care if it angered him. It was the truth and she wasn't going to hide how she felt about anything anymore. She was done letting people walk all over her and that including the WWE Diva's Champion, Nikki Bella. Though, over the last couple of weeks Naomi had turned a surprising heel turn. Allowing the Bella's to turn slightly in a face direction. It didn't matter to her; because outside of the storylines, Nikki was a vindictive woman.
"Looks who's back." Nikki commented the second Davina walked into the locker-room.
The younger woman looked over at the veteran and her twin sister. The anger swelled in the pit of her stomach that just wanted to be unleashed. Unfortunately, she couldn't do that. She loved her job too much than to risk it on the likes of them. Brie smiled softly. It was different than before; but Nikki's was still the same. Smug and full of viscous intent. "Nikki, don't start. Can't you play nice for once?" Brie asked.
"Why should I? She needs to know her place here." Nikki replied holding the title over her shoulder.
Davina let go of the handle that belonged to her travel bag. The time had come to give her a piece of her mind and she honestly didn't care if Brie liked it or not. Her sister was about to get an earful. "Oh please. There are no places here. The only thing your worried about it, is that title being taken from you now that John isn't your leverage in keeping it."
"You don't know what you're talking about..."
"Don't I? I think the only reason you want Randy is because of his position within the company. You think he can influence them to keep that title on you longer."
Nikki lunged, shoving Davina back out the door of the locker-room and into the wall behind it. Her forearm was heavily placed up against her throat. By the sound of her angered scream there was pretty large crowd surrounding them now. Brie patted Nikki's shoulder, trying to calm her down. The champion ignored it. "You better watch yourself little girl. I'll tear you pieces." Nikki commented through clenched teeth.
"I know you told Seth to curb stomp me. You wanted me out of the way."
Davina started to pulled Nikki's forearm away from her own throat with pure strength. The crowd heard every word that was spoken between the two. It wasn't long before Hunter go involved. He wondered what the issue was; but after hearing everything for himself, he knew. The harsh glare was directed in Nikki's direction. "My office...Now!" He scolded.
Holding her head up, she followed the boss down the hall. Brie shook her head in shame. She loved her sister to death; but her actions as of late were questionable. Especially when it came to Davina and Randy Orton. Getting Seth involved was probably the biggest mistake that she could have ever made. "I am sorry. I don't know what's gotten into her." Brie apologized.
"She obsessed with being champion. She will use anyone to make sure she's able to keep that title over her shoulder. I hold no grudge against you; but if you step in to protect her, you will become my enemy. Keep that in mind." Davina stated before walking away.
Extreme Rules, End of WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Randy had Seth exactly where he wanted him. Delivering a Pedigree to insult the Authority was just the icing on the cake, except the little worm kicked out. Allowing him to struggle on his own, he set up for the punt. A move he rarely used; but wanted to for so many reasons. Not just because he was his onscreen enemy; but because he was his real-life enemy as well. He wasn't going to forget his deceleration that Davina would be his.
"Get up, you son-of-a-bitch!" He yelled.
Kane stood firm in his place by the door. He made no move to open it, which meant that he was still being controlled by The Authority. It really was a shame; but it really didn't matter either way. Missing with the punt, Seth countered with a stiff kick to the back of his head. It was then Kane finally moved to open the door.
Loud screaming from the crowd alerted Kane to Davina presence. Running down the ramp, she stood face to face with the pale giant. Up close, he was intimidating; but she wasn't about to let her act fall through he cracks. She needed to prove herself if she wanted to the title to be awarded to her someday.
"Come on Kane, don't let him win. You are better than to be someone else's bitch." She stated pleading for Kane to close to the door.
Raising his hands up, he covered his ears. He didn't want to listen to others speak about his situation. He turned his back to her, leaving the door wide open for Seth to escape. She realized that his head was already out the door. Without a second of hesitation, she pulled the door back and swung it forward. The door slammed into Seth's head, knocking him back inside the ring.
Randy realized what happened and looked outside the cage to a smiling Davina Sinclair. God, he loved her smile and all he wanted to do in that moment was kiss her endlessly. Kane roughly took hold of her arm, jerking her closing to him. The fear in her eyes radiated. He was screaming at her for interfering in the match.
"Let go of her, Kane!" Randy yelled from inside the cage; but there was nothing he could do from inside.
Seth got back to his feet, turning Randy around to resume their fight. Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble ran down to the ring. Kane tossed Davina into their arms with a job. Keeping her from getting involved again. Kane opened the door once more and entered the ring. He took hold of Seth's neck and then Randy's neck. Davina watched helplessly as the devil's favorite demon choke-slammed both participants in the match.
Kane pulled Seth's body over Randy's. The referee counted; but Randy lifted his shoulder off the mat before the three count. A smile curved Davina's lips. There was still hope. Kane turned back around, signally for the tombstone piledriver; but was caught with an RKO instead. Shifting to finish Seth off, his opponent caught him with his own technique.
"NO!" Davina shouted.
Joey and Jamie held onto her tighter. They watched as Seth crawled his way through the open door and rolled onto the floor, retaining his title. The security let go of her. They wanted to help their champion up. Davina rushed into the ring, kneeling down by Randy's side. Her eyes narrowed when Seth got back to his feet with a laugh.
"I told you!" He gloated.
Randy shook his head, ashamed that he was caught by his own move. He turned to look at Davina. There were several red marks on her arms from Kane and J&J Security. Reaching out to her, he asked if she was okay. After nodding her head in confirmation, she helped him to his feet as the show went off the air.
After The Show
Davina walked next to Randy backstage. He couldn't help but look at the marks on her arms. He knew that they were supposed to keep her from entering; but had it been necessary to hold her that tightly. Those marks could easily turn into bruises. He wanted to ask her about it, to make sure she was really okay; but her silence made him question it.
"You can stop worrying about me. I'm fine." She said breaking the silence between them.
"Are you sure?"
She stopped walking right in front of his personal locker-room. Turning to face him directly, her eyes connected with his. The electricity between them was surreal. It made her want to loose herself completely in it, to drown in all the emotions he made her feel. The sweat dripped from his face and rolled down his bare chest. A chest she had used as a pillow a week ago. "I'm positive. I couldn't be better." She answered with a full smile.
"Do you know how hard it was not to kiss you out there?" He asked.
"I think I already know, because I felt the same way."
"So what do we do about that?"
He was teasing her, hoping that she take the bait and plant her addicting lips upon his. She took a step closer to him, placing a warm hand on his sweat covered chest. His heart was racing and she could feel it under her fingertips. It ignited her own excitement. Lifting a hand up to cup her face, he hovered over her mouth. Wanting nothing more to taste her lips over and over again. When they were mere centimeters away from a profound connection, they heard someone clear their throat. Interrupting them.
"I'm sorry to interrupt; but Hunter would like to see Davina in his office." Jamie Noble stated awkwardly fixing his tie.
"Okay, I will be there in a minute." She replied stepping away from Randy.
Jamie turned and started back towards his comfort zone. Randy was annoyed that the little gnome interrupted a perfect moment with her; but curiosity was setting in. He wanted to know why she was being summoned to the main office. He wondering if something happened before the show even started that he didn't know about. "Do you know what that's about?" He asked.
"I would assume it would have something to do with the fact Nikki attacked me before the show."
"What! Why didn't you tell me?"
Davina held up a hand to stop him from freaking out even more than he already was. She really was planning to tell him about it; but in reality, she really hadn't had time to even talk to him before now. His eyes were searching her entire body for blemishes, when he found none it relieved him tremendously. "I was going to tell you when we actually had a moment to talk."
"Did she hurt you?"
"Nope. I enjoyed seeing her temper flare and all I did was speak the truth."
Randy chuckled, loving how she behaved. The woman was acting more and more like him with each passing day. He didn't know if that was a good idea or not; but at least she was standing up for herself, whereas before she was letting people walk all over her. It was a win in his book. "Just be careful. That's all I ask." He replied.
"I'm always careful. Why don't you go get cleaned up and I will go see what Hunter wants, then we can go out somewhere."
"Are you asking me out on a date, Davina Sinclair?"
"You wish, Randy Orton."
They both teased each other, not knowing how much longer they could fight against the attraction between them. They've already kissed several times. All that was left, was to become official; but neither knew if they were ready for that. They just enjoyed what they had now. There was still so much to learn about each other. "Go on, get see what the boss wants. I'll be here waiting for you." He said softly in a voice that sent a warm chill down her spine.
"Okay, I'll see you soon."
She kissed his cheek before walking away. Her heart was still pounding against her chest, even when she stood outside the boss's door. Randy was still on her mind the second Hunter allowed her inside the office. The man was so addicting and it was something she had never felt before in her entire life. Shaking Hunter's hand, he issued her to sit down in the chair across from him. She was really hoping this was about Nikki's attack and not about creative plans. It would totally break her heart if she was taken away from Randy so soon.
"So, would you like to tell me your side of the story about what's been happening between you and Nikki Bella?" Hunter asked folding his hands in front of him.
