Chapter 10 - Denial, Contracts & Moxley
Shifty blue eyes looked around catering for his two-tone haired stable mate before landing on his Samoan best friend. "So...how excited is your dick to see Alison again?"
Joe looked at Jon and couldn't help but chuckle. "I knew there was a reason you were looking around catering like you were in Mission Impossible." Joe exhaled slowly before he licked his suddenly dry lips at the thought of Alison again. "Between you, me and the table - Damned excited."
"So should I start taking bets in the other locker rooms on when Lopez is going to fuck it all up and you can officially get your girl back?" Jon asked with a wry smirk on his face.
Joe shook his head negatively. "No filter bro." He couldn't help following up with a chuckle as he sipped his water. "Look I still have to end things with Lacey and you already know how that it going to go over."
"Oh my god Joey what did I do? Did I do something wrong? Did I wear the wrong perfume? Would you rather see me in purple than blue?" Jon mocked in a high squeak ridden voice; one he knew mimicked Joe's girlfriend to a T - along with the line of questions.
Joe made a face as he pushed a finger into his right ear. "Damn bro. How do you do that; it sounds perfect every time?"
Jon chortled loudly as he pushed back on the metal fold up chair and balanced his weight on the back two legs. "I'm just that good. Besides Lacey is easy to mock. Hell half the time she thinks I'm joking when I do it and then starts laughing like a fuckin hyena. She has got to be the all time worst girlfriend you've had over the last 3 years. First you dated what's her name from NXT..."
"Karlee..." Roman hinted.
"Karlee Perez that chic who used to be Maxine in the ring and fuck was she a psycho. She wanted a daily schedule on what you did; work outs, training, eating, sleeping hell I was surprised she didn't want to know when you took a shit." Jon chuckled.
"So she was a little dysfunctional..." Roman joked.
"Little? Right. Then you tried dating that Lithuanian stalker. Zivile - you know Aksana who not only put a tracking device on your fuckin car but downloaded a tracking device on your cell phone. Thank GOD she's Claudio's problem now. Hopefully he can keep her under control unless he likes them stalkers."
"She just wanted to keep tabs on me a little." Roman chuckled out knowing where Jon was going with all of this.
Jon sipped his water before he nodded. "Little again? Ok right. Which brings me to Lacey. Who is really a sweet girl but when God was handing out voices decided hers needed to sound like nails on a damn chalk board. So I'm sorry but from now on I'm going to have to screen all your potentials. We are putting you on the three strikes and you're out rule for dating from now on."
Joe laughed as he shook his head before he stood from the catering table with Jon in toe and threw their plates and empty bottles away. "What is this we shit? You are the only one standing here." Joe asked curiously.
Jon cocked his head to the side as he watched Joe's twin cousins walking over with shit eating grins on their faces. "We as in me, Josh and Jonny. The twins and I have decided it's time we take your dating skills..."
"Or the lack there of." Josh pointed out.
Jonny threw his arm around his cousin. "And polish them up."
Joe rolled his eyes before he pushed Jonny's arm off his shoulder. "There is nothing wrong with my dating skills. My dating skills work just fine."
"Fine then we need to help you in the pussy picking department then because the chic's you have been picking just never seem to be normal." Jon stated honestly.
Joe knew they were right; Jon had listed the last 3 girlfriends and none of them were really him. They weren't for him, they did nothing for him and they only served one purpose and that was to get laid. He still couldn't remember why Lacey was his girlfriend; the first time he made her cum and she yelled his name he was sure every window in his house would shatter by breaking the sound barrier with her annoying voice; her voice was definitely annoying, but she was at least a half decent lay.
Joe looked around. "Where are we going?" He asked Jon and the twins.
Jon chuckled. "Back to the locker room so we can watch Lopez squirm when Alison shows up and you can spend the remainder of the night giving her those smoldering looks you seem to be able to light other women's panties on fire with."
"No filter bro...seriously no filter." Joe chuckled.
Jon scoffed. "Eh filters are over rated and expensive."
Alison and Aria watched as the door closed behind them once they stepped out into the hallway from Stephanie's office. Amber and emerald orbs snapped together as the girls stared at each other with smirks sliding across their lips.
"Well that was interesting." Aria started.
Alison nodded. "Interesting indeed."
Both sets of eyes looked down at the WWE contracts in their hands. It was damned interesting.
Alison smiled. "C'mon Colby's locker room should be down the hall; or do you want to change into comfortable clothes first?"
Aria groaned. "You mean we have to actually go down and watch skunk boy in action?"
Alison shook her head. "Can you just retract the claws and play nice with my boyfriend."
"Ugh don't say it like that." Aria grumbled.
"Say what?" Alison looked at Aria curiously.
"My boyfriend. That is just like battery acid on my tongue and I'm not even the one having sex with him...and enjoying it." Aria pointed out.
"Yes - yes I do quite enjoy sex with him."
Aria made gagging noises all the way back to the girls assigned room in the arena. Once they were there they both changed into comfortable clothes. Aria shimmied into a pair of black skinny jeans with black 3 inch heeled knee high boots and a black wrap around sweater since there was a chill in the arena.
Alison pulled on a pair of white skinny jeans and her red velvet flat soled knee high boots with a red and white stripped top and a matching scarf hanging around her neck. She'd let her mahogany hair down as it brushed almost past her waist. "Are you done yet slow poke?" Alison asked as she finished zipping her boots.
"Oh God forbid you make the precious skunk head wait a second longer." Aria teased; even if she wasn't really joking.
Alison made a face as she mocked Aria as the girls walked down and found the Shield locker room. Alison reached up and knocked on the door. She jumped slightly as the door opened and she watched as Joe's twin cousins Jonathan and Joshua Fatu screamed like little girls before slamming the door.
Aria couldn't stop as she suddenly busted out in laughter. "Wow same old twins."
Alison shook her head as she chuckled along with Aria. Their heads snapped around when the door opened again when both girls were suddenly scoped up off their feet and swung in circles and then abruptly switched to the opposite twin and swung around again. Both girls not able to breathe enough from their laughter.
Brown eyes watched the exchange just outside of the locker room. How was it possible that the damn twins even knew Alison. She hadn't been at Georgia Tech but one freaking semester. Colby's eyes squinted at the way Alison's face lit up and how hard she was laughing.
Joe noticed the look on Colby's face as he watched the interaction with the girls and his twin cousins. He couldn't help the smirk as he watched the jealousy creep up around Colby's collar. He stifled a chuckle as he continued to get ready for Smackdown.
Alison felt her feet hit the ground as she pulled back. "Gosh look at you Joshua. I can't believe how big you two got. I don't know why I'm even surprised to see you two working in the same company with Joseph."
Alison and Aria followed the twins back into the locker room as Alison made her way over to Colby as she felt his arm wrap around her waist as she pushed up on her toes and their lips met in a sweet soft kiss. "How was your work out?" Alison asked.
"Good." Colby nodded. "How do you know the twins; I though you was only at G-Tech for a single semester?" He asked quizzically.
Alison nodded. "Yea one semester. Joseph's family were big supporters of his Georgia Tech education and even BIGGER supporters of his academic side as the captain of the Georgia Tech football team. Any time Joseph had a game his parents, brother, sisters and even cousins, aunts and uncles all came to watch and cheer him on."
"Hmm supportive family." Colby mumbled.
Alison nodded as she walked over and sat next to Aria on the couch in the locker room as the guys continued getting dressed.
"I'M ON THE HIGHWAY TO HEEEELLLLLLLLLL"
Aria looked at Alison as they both exchanged looks. A raspy gravelly voice could be heard coming from behind the bathroom door.
"I'M ON THE HIGHWAY TO HEEEELLLLLLLLLL"
"Joe I didn't know Brian Johnson was a wrestler now." Aria chuckled.
Joe couldn't help chuckling as he shook his head. "Brian Johnson he wishes he was but we only know him as Jonathan Good. He's the Shield's Dean Ambrose character - our slightly crazy counterpart."
Suddenly the bathroom door was kicked open and out walked a tall man in black cargos, black spandex muscle shirt with his auburn blonde curls soaked and hanging in front of his electric blue eyes.
Aria's eyes widened as she stood up looking at the man Joe had named as Jonathan Good...But he looked more familiar. He wasn't Jonathan Good to her; to her he was... "Moxley?"
Jon's head snapped around as the room suddenly got quiet. "Now I haven't heard that name in a few years; wanna tell me how you know it sweetheart?" His gravelly voice asked as his electric blue eyes locked with her sweet emeralds.
Aria watched as Moxley walked closer to her like he was stalking his prey. It was eerily quiet in the locker room. All sets of eyes were looking on as Aria and Jon squared off. Aria could easily say Jon Moxley...errr Good had been the VERY best lay of her entire life. That Thanksgiving weekend in Philly nine years ago. They spent three days in a hotel room naked, drunk and sexing it up. She woke up Sunday morning with a nice tingle between her thighs, sticky from all the body shots and a couple of bite marks across her ass...and alone.
"I know you don't I? I know I know you from...somewhere - but where?" Jon's raspy voice asked as he continued to cross the floor slowly as his blue orbs took in her whole body. He didn't even realize he licked his suddenly dry lips. She looked so familiar to him but he just couldn't place her. The way her emerald eyes gleamed at him and the way she'd said his Indy name Moxley. "I know I know you..." He stated again.
Aria's eyes narrowed as she waited for him to be within striking distance before she pulled her hand back and swung through. The loud CRACK of her hand across his face made everyone else in the locker room physically jump. Aria watched as he slowly turned his face back to her as a sadistic smirk slid across his face and another loud CRACK echoed in the quiet locker room before Aria spun on her heels and left the room slamming the door behind her.
Joe blinked as the door closed shut with a booming authority. "Well she certainly remembers you." Joe chuckled.
"Jesus Christ Jon what the hell was that all about?" Jonny asked as he too blinked a few times.
"Man I ain't ever seen a woman look THAT pissed and hit someone THAT hard. You gonna bruise for days over that bro." Josh stated as he looked at Jon's cheek where the BRIGHT red hand print was already forming.
Colby chuckled. "One night stands you've forgotten about Good?" Colby teased.
Alison stood up as she glared at Colby before shaking her head. "Not funny; clearly she's upset about something." She turned and followed the same path Aria had taken out of the locker room.
Joe hid his smirk at Alison's scolding Colby. 'Go ahead and keep it up stupid you'll lose her faster than you think.' Joe thought to himself as he tied off his boot laces before pushing them back into the top of the boot along either part of his pant leg.
This was going to be like taking candy away from a baby. A big baby who threw plenty of baby fits when things didn't go his way. Joe had been right all he really would have to do is sit back and let Colby fuck shit up all on his own.
Ignoring Joseph Anoa'i was going to be a lot harder than anyone would've thought; most of all Alison. She would admit to NO ONE that he looked DAMN good in his riot wrestling gear.
Alison shook her head. She couldn't think about Joe right now. She had to find Aria and if the sounds of sniffling were any indication she knew she was getting close. She looked down a small corridor and found a little cubby hole and saw her best friend sitting on one of the thousand or so equipment trunks that followed the WWE everywhere they went. Alison happened by a make-up table and grabbed a box of Kleenex as she walked down and hopped up on the trunk next to Aria.
"That was some slap my love." Alison stated as she handed Aria a tissue.
Aria scoffed as she snatched a tissue and wiped her eyes. "I can't believe after nine years that he can get to me and yet doesn't even remember me." She sniffled again. "Though I'm not sure what I expected after nine years."
"So...care to let me in on who Mr. Wonderful is?" Alison asked curiously.
Aria wiped her nose and eyes once more. "Umm - remember Thanksgiving weekend when you went to Pensacola with Joe; met the family, had dinner and then jumped his bones in the back seat of his mothers SUV."
"Not one of my finer moments but definitely a memory I will always cherish." Alison joked. "What about it?"
"Remember when I went to Philly to have Thanksgiving with my aunt?" Aria asked with a sheepish grin on her face.
Realization suddenly slid through Alison's brain. "Oh my God...That's not - I mean - It can't be...can it?" Alison stammered over her thoughts verbally. "That's the guy you had the one night stand with for 3 days?"
Aria sighed heavily before her head popped up and she made eye contact with Alison. "Sooo, do you think it's too late to back out of the contracts we just signed?"
