Alex

On my way to the locker room I got a lot of pats on the back and glares from various superstars as they passed me, I'm guessing people heard about the whole thing with Miz, I just hope they didn't know about what happened afterwards.

I finally reached the door leading to the locker room and as I went for the handle it began to move. I quickly moved out of the way to see Zack Ryder, who lit up when he saw me.

I was pulled into a hug. "Well done man!" Zack said patting me on the back and continuing the embrace. I waited a few seconds but he still held on.

I was getting a little uncomfortable. I coughed but Zack didn't get the hint.

"Zack I'm starting to doubt whether you really love me as a friend or not." Zack pulled away immediately.

"What you trying to say?"

"Well you were hugging me for an awfully long time." I said and his mouth dropped in shock. He pointed between the two of us.

"No, no way man! You and I, we're just friends! I'm straight, you're straight. Right?" he asked, totally shaken up.

"Yeah I'm straight." I confirmed, my thoughts wandering back to Becky and how good it felt to finally have her in my arms. "And if I wasn't, I wouldn't go for you, you're not my type." Zack grinned and punched my arm lightly.

"You joker!"

"I try." I said shrugging.

"Come on, let's go."

"Go?" I asked as he turned to head back down the corridor I'd come from.

"Yeah, I want a drink and I wanna hear the damage you did to Miz."

"Surely you know already if everyone's talking about it." Zack gave me a look.

"What?"

"That's not as good as hearing it from your point of view, come on, walk and talk."

I shook my head and followed him down the corridor.


Becky

I took a sip from the water Barbie got me and felt a little bit better; my head was still spinning though, just not as much.

"You're the best man!" a voice that I recognised practically shouted and Barbie turned. When she turned back she didn't look too impressed.

"I don't think that's gonna help your head," she said moving over slightly so I could take a proper look.

I saw Zack and Alex.

I groaned and placed my head in my hands. "Of course they choose now to come to catering." I mumbled.

"And here they come!" Barbie muttered. I looked up from my hands to see her roll her eyes as the guys came over.

"Hey," Zack said softly, taking my hand and crouching beside me. "You ok?" he asked and I nodded.

"I'm good just feeling a bit dizzy though." I said, glancing at Alex who held my gaze for a few seconds before turning his attention elsewhere.

"He didn't, you know hurt you did he?"

Jeez why did people keep asking me that?

"No," I said, turning to Alex who had moved and was standing next to me, a hand on the back of my chair. "Riley got him before he could do any physical damage." Alex gave me a small grin and nudged my arm playfully.

His touch sent shocks throughout my arm and I gasped, all eyes were on me.

Barbie was giving me a look that said: really?

"Jesus Alex!" I said, struggling to think of an excuse. "Your hands are freezing!" he let out a nervous laugh and moved his hands away from me and placed them behind his back.

"Sorry Becks." He said, looking anywhere but at me or Zack.

"So um you sure you're just ill?" Zack practically whispered and I smiled at him.

"Yes! Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you!" he said releasing my hand and reaching up to kiss my cheek. "Just, you know be careful, Mike isn't one to give up."

I nodded, seeing Alex tense up out of the corner of my eye. "Yeah, I've noticed." Zack gave me a small smile before standing up and heading off, Alex right at his heels. I sighed, a little upset that I hadn't got a goodbye from him.

"You ok?" Barbie asked and I nodded.

"Yeah," I watched Alex and Zack leave and as if he could feel my eyes on him Alex turned and gave me a small smile before turning back and resuming his conversation with Zack. "I'm fine."

"So," Barbie said. "You've got it bad for this guy huh? So bad that is very touch is too much for you to handle?" I glared at her and she smiled. "Thought so." She practically sang.

"You irritate me." I said and Barbie smiled.

"If Eve saw that she would take irritating to a whole new level, be thankful you're only dealing with me." I had to agree with her, Eve could be very irritating.

"Yeah but I would rather have Alicia here, at least she wouldn't irritate me." I said and Barbie shook her head.

"Yes but Alicia wouldn't agree to be your food slave." Barbie said, gesturing to the tray on the middle of the table I went to argue but she held a hand up.

"Please you're a Torres, let someone else win for once." She said and I grinned before taking another sip of my water. I suddenly feeling a lot better now.
