Seth: "Yes she is. I can't believe she gave you your own GTS."
CM Punk: "It wasn't mine. It was a modified version kind of like Kaitlyn's move. It was effective. She knocked me out. That was no joke out there."
I give the same move I gave to Punk to Nikki and knock her out for the win. I pin her and get the three- count officially.
"The winners of this match The Southern Comfort Maddie "Main Street" Gilbert."
The place is electric with love and I come running into the back green room where everyone is.
Chapter 6 What's next?
I hug Seth. I'm still feeling hyped up from winning the match.
CM Punk: "Good work there, Maddie. I'm impressed."
Madison: "You should be. You taught me everything I know out there. It was years ago. You probably don't even recognize me anymore. I'm not that same little girl."
CM Punk: "No. You're not, but you are an awesome kick-ass woman now slowly making her way up the WWE Diva ladder. The smartest thing you ever did was go above Paul. He wasn't doing you any favors."
Madison: "No shit. No hard feelings on my part. I'm glad to be rid of the douche bag. He can go ruin Curtis Axel's career."
Seth: "This calls for a celebration. "
Madison: "Yes it does."
Seth: "I'm taking you out for dinner. Then we can all meet up at Hollywood and Highland. I heard there's a sic club over there. It'll be fun."
Madison: "I'm going to pass on the "sic club scene" yo."
Punk starts laughing at my obvious attempt to mock Seth's choice of words he used.
Seth: "All right, I know when you're busting my balls. You're not a clubber."
Madison: "Yeah and neither are you. So, let's hit up Lucky Strikes over there. We can bowl, shoot pool and drink all in the same place."
Roman: "That sounds like a fun time. I'm in."
Punk: "Yeah. I'm in too. I'll call up Amy and see what she's doing tonight."
He gets his phone out of his pocket and calls up his best girlfriend Amy. I find myself getting excited inside because Lita happens to be one of my favorite all time WWE Divas and now I finally get the opportunity to meet her. Punk hangs up the phone and puts it back in his pocket.
Punk: "It's confirmed. Amy is going to meet up with us at Lucky Strikes. I'm going to go catch a shower and a change of clothes. I'll see you guys later."
Madison: "All right. Bye Phil."
Punk: "Bye Maddie."
He leaves me alone with Seth, Dean and Roman. Suddenly, I hear music coming from Dean's pocket.
Dean: "Speaking of girlfriends and hooking up later. That would be Kensi."
He excuses himself and answers his phone.
Roman: "That's my cue to go get dressed and stuff. I'll talk to you guys later."
Seth: "All right, Dude. I'll be back there in a few. I gotta shower and stuff myself."
Roman: "All right."
He heads towards the locker room and Dean follows.
Seth: "You ever get the feeling someone was trying to leave you alone with someone on purpose?"
I mock a total shocked face.
Madison: "No. You don't say."
Seth: "It's starting to feel like a slight set up there."
Madison: "I felt the stage being set when you made a point to declare, in front of everyone "I'm taking you out to dinner" as opposed to "Hey, let's all go grab something to eat" that gave me a clue. So, would you call this a date?"
Seth: "I'd call it one friend taking another friend out to dinner and then hanging with a group of friends."
Madison: "Hmmm, wow. That set up you were talking about is starting to feel familiar."
He puts his arms around me and hugs me closer to him. I scrunch up my nose because we are both sweaty from the match and he's wet from the water he purposely dumped on himself earlier.
Madison: "Ewe, dude. I need a shower and you're wet from earlier. I'm pretty sure that's not just bottled water on your body."
Seth: "No. There's baby oil on there too. I smell baby powder scent."
Madison: "Well, I smell Maddie and I'm not at all comfortable being this close to you funky."
Seth: "I know what funky smells like and you're not it. You want to go Cross Fit with me tomorrow? We can beat each other's time."
Madison: "You really don't care if I smell. Sure, I'd love to go Cross Fit with you tomorrow."
Seth starts laughing and hugs me.
Seth: "No, I don't but you really should go have that shower."
I shove him playfully.
Madison: "You're an ass, dude. I'll see you in a bit."
Seth: "Smell you later."
He winks at me and I stick my tongue out at him as I go into the girl's locker room. Naomi and Cameron are in the locker room.
Madison: "Hey Ari. Hey Trinity."
Trinity: "Hey girl. You were awesome out there tonight."
Madison: "Thank you."
Arianna: "But, girl The Shield? Really?"
Madison: "Can you think of anyone else who could beat the injustice out of Paul Hayman?"
Arianna: "True. That was a good fight. But, you really need to go out there with your own theme song and doing your own thing. Leave those hounds to bark at the moon."
Madison: "I have my own thing and my own theme music. I just have to ask Hunter to get Fall Out Boy's permission to use "My Song Knows What your Song Did In The Dark". I want to use the chorus as my intro. "Light em up, up up light em up up up I'm on fire"
Arianna: "That sounds like it would fit you."
Trinity: "He can get it done. He got In Living Color for Punk."
Madison: "Punk is also a veteran and I'm a newbie. Not much pull there."
I gather my shower stuff and head back to the shower area. By now, the warm water felt so damn good I wanted to spend all night in there if I could. The last thing I wanted to do was step out of a nice relaxing shower and hear Nikki Bella and her sister talking.
Nikki: "I can't believe that little two-toned, flat chested bitch beat me."
Brie: "Nicole, that's not nice. She beat you fair and square and her chest is not flat. Hers are real."
Nikki: "How would you know? You haven't felt them. Besides, did you see that Rocky reject outfit of hers? That's so lame. She doesn't even have her own theme music. She mind as well hang a sign around her that says "I'm The Shield's bitch" and walk out there."
Brie: "She's new. Newbies hardly ever have their own music when they first go out."
Nikki: "And that walking down with The Shield? That was even lamer. They had Paul without her help."
Brie: "You're just mad because she got more exposure in one night then we ever have."
Nikki: "Whatever. She's still not getting fan favorite."
I wait for her to come around the corner and I purposely trip her so she falls face first onto the floor and walk away like nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Madison: "Oopse, you really need to start picking your feet up when you walk. Are you ok?"
Nikki: "You little bitch. You did that on purpose."
Madison: "I didn't do anything except walk by and put my stuff away. You decided to say "hi" to the floor. You love tripping and falling. First, you get so shit faced that you're falling all over in Vegas. Then you decide to bite it on your crutches coming into the arena and now mysteriously, you fall in the locker room. If I were you, I'd invest in some tennis shoes. That way you can't kill yourself on them."
Nikki: "You're messing with the wrong Diva."
Madison: "You're taking things a little too personal. So, I guess we're even."
I grab my gear and turn to blow Nikki a kiss.
Madison: "Be careful, baby girl."
I wave and Brie smiles as I leave with a vindictive giggle to myself. Damn, I'm good when I'm being mean.
Nikki: "Oh my God, why are you smiling? That wasn't funny. I hurt myself."
Brie: "You're a wrestler. You fall all the time."
Nikki: "On padded mats not concrete floors."
Brie: "That wasn't a padded mat in Vegas."
Nikki: "Whatever."
She storms off offended.
Trinity: "Damn, someone is in one of her moods."
Arianna: "She shouldn't trash talk people behind their backs. I think I'm going to enjoy having Maddie around."
Trinity: "Me too."
Meanwhile, I come out into the hall way and Seth is standing there all cleaned up with his gear in his bag next to him and one foot propped up on the wall. The first thing I notice is his cologne. I smelled Hugo Boss and not some cheap version of Axe. That's a huge plus in his corner. He wore black jeans and a Glamour Kills T- Shirt with black chucks. He was checking something on his phone. I make a wolf whistle and he looks up and smiles.
Seth: "Well, hello there yourself, beautiful. You look sexy."
I have on skinny blue jeans and a black low-cut top. I had my Celtic cross necklace on and my hair done up with Love Spell by Victoria Secret as my perfume. I have on lack and purple Chucks.
He instantly hugs and kisses me. I notice him linger a bit to smell my perfume.
Seth: "You smell really good."
Madison: "Thank you. I like the fact that you're wearing cologne and not 8 cans of Axe."
Seth: "8 cans? No, I'm not a 14 year old covering up nervous sweat. Dean actually suggested it."
Madison: "Well, Dean gets cool points for good suggestion. Don't get me wrong. Axe smells good in small amounts. Too much and I'm tasting it and that's never good."
Seth: "I can agree there. It gets to be a huge cloud back there with all the superstars back there. I guess it's better than sweaty ass."
Madison: "Yes and it's not a replacement for showers either. There is nothing worse than a nasty dirty guy covering it up with perfume."
Seth: "That's just nasty. Shall we go?"
He gestures with his hand and I link my arm with his.
Madison: "Yes we shall."
We head to the parking lot and get into a black Nissan Altima he rented.
Madison: "Nice car. I own a black one."
Seth: "Yeah. It's a nice rental. I miss my own car."
He holds open my door for me and I get in.
Madison: "Always the young gentlemen suitor."
Seth laughs and gets in the driver's side. He puts on his seat belt and starts the car. He programs the GPS and we head out to the nearest Olive Garden.
Madison: "Oh my God, I love you right now. That's my favorite restaurant and right now it's all you can eat pasta bowls."
Seth: "Yeah. I'm going to need to run 40 miles to burn off all that pasta and bread sticks."
Madison: "Not if you stick with me, kid. If you play your cards right that pasta and bread won't even get a chance to stick to your hips."
Seth starts grinning at my suggestive tone and laughs.
Seth: "I can't wait to see what you've got in store for me."
