An. Hey, it's Mikki with the next chappie. Don't forget to review.

Torrie walked around backstage not really looking for anyone but something to do. She was still annoyed with Carlito and hoped that he wasn't near her. She turned the corner into another long corridor and saw Melina talking to someone. She sighed knowing something would happen and tried to walk past her but to no avail.

"I saw what happened with Carlito," Melina began. "I guess he is better out of him and Cena."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know when Carlito rolled the footage of him taking John out."

"Yeah but he had the advantage," Torrie replied. "If it was fair then John would win and you know it."

"Yeah right," Melina chuckled. "But the funniest thing Carlito did was when he left you in the ring with Umaga. That made my day."

"That wasn't funny, I was badly hurt."

"Like I care," Melina replied rolling her eyes. "There is one thing that Carlito didn't give you that I would love to."

"And what's that?" Torrie asked with her hand on her hip

"Well you see Carlito dumped you like a bad apple" Melina said with a smirk

In a minute, Torrie had registered with a hard slap from the mouthy diva. She held her face where she had been slapped. Melina laughed looking down at Torrie on the floor

"And you know what I just dropped you" Melina smirked before leaving, Torrie got to her feet still holding her sore face. Torrie grabbed her blonde hair that was in her face after receiving a slap by Melina. Torrie and Melina will meet next in a divas match.

After the break, Melina's music hit and she came out to a loud amount of boos. She ignored them however and did her usual entrance, much to the male fans delight. There was a small pause and the fans started to chant Torrie, prompting her music to blast through the speakers. She walked out wearing black hot pants with a pink ribbon with a black halter neck with her leg warmers and trainers. Torrie blew a kiss to the fans before focusing her attention on Melina who was standing in the middle of the ring. The fans cheered as she ran to the ring taking her out with a Lou Thesz Press.

"What's Carlito doing here?" JR asked seeing him walk down the ramp.

"I don't know. Maybe we'll find out," King replied.

Meanwhile, Torrie had just stood up from beating on Melina and was now picking her up by her hair. She was distracted though by Carlito slowly making his way down the ramp and she turned around focusing all her attention on him.

"What are you doing out here?" she yelled.

Torrie didn't have time to hear a reply as Melina knocked her down from behind. She held her head where the heavy blow had hit and slowly got up, being kicked down again with a knee to the stomach.

"Looks like Carlito had joined us to do commentary," King said as Carlito took the headset. "What are you doing out here?"

"I'm here to support my girl."

"Who is your girl?" JR asked.

"Torrie of course."

The commentators were quiet for a few moments, watching the match from their monitor. They saw Torrie start to fight back before JR turned his attention to Carlito.

"Torrie doesn't need your support," he began. "She's made that quite obvious already. You betrayed her. Why do you think she would ever forgive you?"

"You see JR, it's about who's the better man," Carlito smirked. "You saw Cena help Torrie out when I left her and that's why the fans love him. But if you put me and Cena in a ring then it's clear to see I would win. And that's exactly what I'll do when John puts his title on the line. I will become the next wwe champion."

JR nodded and then turned back to the match starting to comment on it. They watched on as Torrie ducked a punch from the ropes instead kicking her in the stomach. The crowd cheered as she executed her finishing move pinning Melina for the three count.

"Here's your winner, Torrie Wilson!" Lillian spoke through the microphone.

The crowd's cheers turned to boos as Carlito entered the ring. Torrie didn't understand why they were booing but turned around to see why. She placed her hands on her hips, partly scared and partly sticking up for herself. They looked at each over all the emotion in their eyes before Carlito extended his hand out for her to shake. The fans booed heavily and she looked at his hand before looking back at him, giving him a hard slap.

She smiled, exiting the ring and walking up the ramp. Torrie swivelled round and smirked a famous look that Carlito had once owned. She blew him a kiss and then made her way to the top of the ramp, Carlito's frown on the big screen. She walked out of sight and saw John talking to someone.

"Hey champ," she smiled. "Did you see me out there?"

"Yeah," he smiled back. "I'm impressed. Well done and good for you for slapping Carlito."

"Thanks. He deserved it. I mean, did he honestly think I would shake his hand?"

John laughed and they chatted on the way to his locker room. He opened the door and she followed him in, sitting down on the bench next to him. She looked at his belt and smiled before turning back to John.

"Anyway, I better go and change," she told him. "I need a shower."

"Good to know," John smiled. "See you later."

"Yeah," she smiled and the two hugged.

Torrie ignored her want to kiss him and made her way to her locker room, passing DX on the way out. She greeted them and then left leaving DX to walk in John's locker room.

"So you ready for your match with Carlito?" Hunter asked sitting down opposite him.

"Sure," John replied standing up and taking a bottle of water.

"You don't seem determined or anything," Shawn replied sitting down also. "Is something wrong?"

"No," John answered a little too quickly. "Everything's fine."

"John we know you," Shawn said. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" John said

"Okay I don't understand you weren't nervous about facing Umaga, but now you're nervous about wrestling Carlito" Shawn said

"No I'm not, it's just….." John paused

"Come on tell us" Triple H said

John sat down and leant against the seat eventually looking at both members of DX.

"You may have been right about before," he began looking at a confused DX. "You know, when you said I liked Torrie as more of a friend. I suppose I do."

"I knew it," Shawn smiled. "So what's the problem?"

"Well I can't ask her out. Can I?"

"Why not?" Hunter asked. "What's stopping you?"

"Guys," he said standing back up again. "Why would she want someone like me?"

Torrie listened from outside John's locker room and her eyes widened. She only came to talk with him but found something out she didn't know. Little did John know, she wanted him too.
