Date Night
After basking in the moment of having John's lips attached to hers, Beth pulled away from him in utter surprise. She was not expecting that to happen at all after the way they had been yelling at each other lately and especially after their disaster of a tag team match that just happened. Taking a step back, she shook her head clear of the fog that he caused.
"Wh-What was that for?"
"It was the only thing I could think of to shut you up." John said with a slight grin appearing on his face.
Beth's mouth fell open in shock. She hadn't expected him to be so blunt and straightforward about why he had kissed her. Quickly closing the gap in between them, before John knew it, Beth socked him with all her strength in the arm.
"Ow! Dammit I forgot how strong you are! Look, I'm sorry that I didn't give you a chance to explain, but just seeing you with Phil again just made something inside of me snap. I don't know what it was. Then add in the fact that this morning when I came to your room to apologize and as I was going to knock on your door, it opens and there is you standing with Phil. That didn't help matters at all." John said as he gently rubbed his arm where Beth had just punched him; he was sure it was going to bruise later.
"Just to clear things up, nothing happened last night between me and Phil."
"Then what did happen?"
"I don't know; I was completely and utterly wasted. But from what Phil told me, he helped me back up to my room and as he went to move me further up in the bed I pulled him down for a kiss. I guess he was going along with it up until I called out your name instead of his and then I passed out. He just stayed with me so I wouldn't choke in the middle of the night."
"So you did kiss him?" John asked angrily, his jealousy coming back in full force.
"So what if I did? It's not like we were together and then I cheated on you with him? Through all of my drunken haze, I thought he was you and I was just doing what I've wanted to do for so long." Beth started out just as angry, but when she came to her revelation her tone turned soft.
"You know what? You're right, I shouldn't be mad because, like you said, it's not like we were together officially or anything. So after all of this, I realized that I still owe you dinner from a few days ago. Would you like to go out with me tonight?"
"I-I would love to. I'll meet you in the hotel lobby in let's say two hours?"
"It's a date! See you soon." John said as he leaned in for one last kiss before he continued on to his locker room.
Beth had to lean up against the concrete wall to take a deep breath to clear her head. So many things were running through her head, making it spin in circles. After finally regaining her wits, she made her was back towards the Divas locker room. To her surprise, Natalya was sitting by her duffel bag. Hearing the door open, the blonde Canadian looked up with a questioning glare.
"Nattie, don't you have a match in like a minute?"
"Yeah, but it can wait until you explain to me what the hell is going on. What happened at the house show last night and what the hell was up with John leaving you in the ring like that?"
"Okay, fine I will spill the beans but it is going to take a lot longer than a minute to explain everything. How about this; you go out there, kick some Diva ass and then you can come back with me to the hotel to help me get ready for my date tonight?"
"What? Since when do you have a date and with whom?" Natalya practically shrieked with excitement for her best friend.
"It's with John and he just asked me out. Now get going you have some NXT Diva wannabe ass to kick! I'll explain more after your match. Good luck!" Beth said as she started to push a confused looking Natalya out the door and towards the Gorilla.
By the time they made it to the curtain, Natalya finally stopped resisting the friendly shoves. Once her theme song hit the loud speakers, the crowd popped huge despite the fact that she was supposed to be heel. Sauntering down the ramp, she climbed into the ring and just waited. Soon, that god-awful so called theme song of Kaitlyn played over the speakers, and there was a loud chorus of boos. Sliding into the ring, Kaitlyn hopped up to the second rope turnbuckle to try and get the crowd on her side, but it was to no avail.
Suddenly the bell rang before she could get down and turn around. Instead, she came down the hard way when Natalya grabbed her by the belt and threw her down to the canvas. Her head bounced off fairly hard and before she knew it, she was being drug to the center of the ring, trapped in the Sharpshooter, and she had to choice but to tap out. The referee called for the bell and walked over to raise Natalya's hand up in victory. As soon as he dropped her hand, she basically bolted back up the ramp and to the locker room. As she barged inside, Beth jumped almost ten feet in the air.
"Jesus Nattie!"
"Sorry, I'm going to shower real quickly and then we can head back to the hotel. I'll be ready in ten minutes tops, I promise." Natalya said as she grabbed her bag of toiletries and headed over to the showers.
"You think that you'll be ready in ten minutes? HA, I highly doubt that!" Beth scoffed as she finished pulling on her black UGG boots.
"You wanna make a bet?"
"Is that a challenge Natalie?"
"Only if you want it to be!"
"Okay, so if we do, what are the stakes?"
"If I can make it out of the shower and be ready to go in ten minutes, you have to wear a dress on your date with John. If I can't make it out of the shower and am ready to go in ten minutes, I will stop bugging you about being more feminine when we go out. How does that sound?"
"Why is it that I get the short ass end of the deal if you can't make your own time limit? It hardly seems fair to me."
"Because I am so confident in myself that I will be ready within that set time limit; also I am going to bust my ass so that John can see how great you look in a dress."
"UGH! Fine, I will take your bet because I know how 'put together' you have to be in order to go out places." Beth said as she held out a hand, confident in herself.
"Oh, we will just have to wait and see Elizabeth! I just may surprise you, you never know!" Natalya said as she grasped her best friends hand with a smirk crossing her face.
"It is so on! Now go and shower, you have a faint stink of 'can't wrestle-ness' on you!"
With one last competitive smirk towards the Glamazon, Natalya started the stopwatch on her iPhone and ran to the shower stalls. Turning the water on, she jumped in without waiting for the water to warm up and started to scrub all of Kaitlyn's wannabe sweat off of her body. Quickly rinsing off, she turned the water off and stepped out. With lightning speed, she towel dried and jogged back into the locker room area. In order to get a little edge, instead of putting on her designer jeans, t-shirt and heels, she took a shortcut by putting on her Juicy Couture sweatpants and zip-up hoodie.
Next up came the challenge of how she was going to do her hair. Checking the time on her phone, she saw that she still had six minutes to finish. Thinking quickly, she finally got the idea; a side braided pony-tail. Once her hair was complete, next came the dubious task of her makeup. Wanting to look good yet simple, she applied her foundation and added a thin layer of powder. After lining her eyes with black eyeliner and covering her lips with a sheer lip-gloss, she hit stop on her timer.
"Ah-ha, I told you that I could be ready in ten minutes!"
"Let me see your phone, I don't believe you."
"Ugh, I can't believe you Beth! Would I really mess up the time on purpose?"
"With you, I can't really be too sure."
"Fine, here it is. I stopped the time right at nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds. So you know what that means right?"
"Goddammit all to hell, I can't believe that you actually did it! Sonofabitch, that means that I have to wear a dress!"
"Oh yes it does, now let's go! We have a lot of work to do!" Natalya said with a smile as she grabbed her bags and pulled Beth out by the arm.

Like I told BETHNATALYAGLAMAHART, between school and work my ass has been handed to me on a silver platter! I have never been so consistently busy in my life! Add in the fact that I just turned 21 on September 12 hasn't help any! Haha! Anyways, thanks for the continued support, reads and reviews. I greatly appreciate everything you all have to say! Thanks again!

My Time is Now: That part about John coming to check on her the next day was, in my mind, a great way to show how much he really cares about her. The fact that he ditched her in the middle of the ring like that is how I want to see a love angle work on Raw or Smackdown sometime soon!
BethNatalyaGlamaHart: Sorry that it has taken me so long to update! School and work has been kicking my ass! On top of that, my mind has been reeling with new ideas for new stories! So stay tuned!
TheRealChamps: Thanks for the kind words! I wanted to get the point across that they really like each other and even though they are just friends, they want to be more than that!
