Give In To Me: Chapter 14
Scarlett
It was the day before Summer Slam. I was all kinds of excited yet pretty nervous. There was a lot at stake for the Nexus. If we fail, we might fall from grace. People may not longer take us seriously. I looked into the mirror and slathered on a last layer of lip gloss. I adjusted my hair and headed out into the Summer Slam Axxcess event. I was due for an appearance. I showed up to my assigned area. Sheamus was standing there waiting.
"Are you my appearance buddy?" I joked.
"Yes, lass. Lucky you eh?" he said with a cocky smile. I couldn't help but smile as well.
"That I am! I've missed my Celtic Warrior!"
"I've missed you too, Scarlett. I'd see ya more often, but that fiancé of yours needs to pull the stick outta his arse!" He said forcefully.
"Yeah, he's been kind of an asshole lately…"
"Did he tell you what we were fightin' about?"
"No. You know Randy," I said with a sigh.
"That I do! Well, I'll save that story for another time!" Sheamus said gleefully.
"Okay, but seriously. I would really like to know." He nodded.
We took our places and the fans in line were being let in one at a time. We cracked jokes with fans as we signed things and posed for pictures. After what seemed like forever, our session was coming to a close. Suddenly, John Cena appeared.
"John John!" I said excitedly as I gave him a big hug.
"Hey Scar! Sheamus!"
"What brings you here?" I asked him.
"I saw this appearance on the list and had to come by and meet with two of my favorite superstars!"
"Now I know you are full of it, Fella!" Sheamus said with a laugh.
"Okay, you caught me. I only came to see Scarlett!" He joked. Sheamus feigned being hurt.
"So what are you really doing here?" I asked with a smirk.
"I wanted to see you guys and ask if you wanted to meet up at the party tonight? I'd love to have a drink with the whole gang."
"I'm way in, Johnny boy!" Sheamus said with enthusiasm.
"How about you Scar? You in?" I looked at the to smiling men. I had missed being around them so much.
"I'm abso-fucking-lutely in!"
"Great, do you think Randy will want to?"
"Uh…I don't know. He's still a little butt sore over the fight with Sheamus here!"
"Well ask him and get back to me. I'll text you the details later."
"Sounds good, John." He walked off.
I left Sheamus and walked around for a bit. Finally, I found who I was looking for. Randy was doing a VIP session for Axxcess. It was funny to see how much fan girls fussed over him. I found it strange that he was such a worshiped person and yet he was my fiancé. I watched a little longer from the side of the area before he looked over and saw me. A big smile crossed his face. He waved me over. A security guard let me through the roped area and onto the small platform Randy was on. He gave me a big, big kiss. The fans in line cheered.
"What a great surprise! Please stay for the last half hour with me!" he begged.
"What the hell!" I plopped down in the chair next to him.
Much to my surprise, people wanted my autograph from his line as well and pictures with the "WWE golden couple" . It was pretty fun while it lasted. Randy and I were getting along and thoroughly enjoying our time with the fans.
"So Scarlett, honey, are you about ready to get outta here?"
"Yeah, I have so much to do to get ready for the red carpet and party tonight!" He smiled at me.
"You don't need to do a damn thing. You could show up with no makeup on and sweats and still look a thousand times better than the rest of the divas," he said with a wink.
"You are sweet, a kiss ass, but sweet nonetheless," I said giving him a peck on the lips.
We headed out of the room but was stopped by none other than Wade Barrett. Randy immediately tensed up.
"Hello Wade."
"Hello Scarlett…Randy. I just wanted to remind you that the Nexus is meeting in the hotel lobby at 6:30 to ride over to the red carpet."
"Okay thank you. Hopefully I will be ready on time!" I joked.
"Well we'll wait for you anyhow! We aren't The Nexus without you." I smiled, surprised at the compliment.
"She isn't going with you. She's coming with me," Randy protested.
"Randy babe, I kinda need to go with my team…" I said softly.
"You are my fiancée, I want to have you on my arm on the carpet," he whined. I looked to Wade, he was simply observing the interaction. A small smirk on his face.
"Well I'm not sure what you want me to say."
"How about you ride with Randy in a separate car behind us. That way you could take pictures with us and then with him?" he proposed. I was caught a little off guard by this act of generosity. Wade was usually so firm about plans and his decisions. I couldn't help but wonder what was really going on.
"That sounds wonderful, Barrett. We'll meet you in the lobby at 6:30 then. Right Randy?"
"Mmhm," he muttered.
"Great. I'll be seeing you too soon then."
Wade sauntered away and we continued our way out of the building.
Wade
Later that night…
I looked in the dim lit mirror in my hotel room bathroom. I adjusted my tie. I looked ravishing in my suit. I slicked back my hair and I was all ready to go. I walked back in to the main part of my room. I could hear Scarlett and Randy having a heated discussion through our adjoining door. I couldn't help but be a little smug. It was about time Scarlett began to have a backbone when it came to Randy. She was a spitfire and headstrong in general. For some odd reason, Randy was her blind spot. She literally folds every time. Being a part of the Nexus seems to have re-lit the flame in her. It was a nice thing to see.
I left my room and headed down to the lobby. Otunga and Michael Tarver were all ready there.
"Hello gentlemen!" I said happily.
"Hey Wade, nice suit," Otunga chirped. He was such a kiss ass.
"Thank you."
"Looks like Skip and Darren are here too!" He said with a smug smile.'
"What's with the smug attitude?"
"Our most rambunctious member has yet to arrive. I'd put money on her skipping out on us for Orton tonight."
"I think you should have a little more faith in her. Has she ever proved she was anything but loyal to the Nexus?" I asked him.
"Not yet…but I have a feeling about her…she's up to something."
"I think you are dead wrong, David," Heath's voice crooned from behind us. I turned to see a smiling Heath Slater. It was obvious that he'd developed a school boy crush on Scarlett.
"I agree, Heath. Where the bloody hell is you're other half?"
"My other half?" He questioned.
"Yeah, fucking Gabriel!"
"Oh! He's on his way," Heath said decisively. He looked off behind me. "Wow!"
I turned to look at what Heath was freaking out about. I knew it immediately when I saw it. It was Justin Gabriel and the ravishing woman on his arm. It was Scarlett. Her dress was a curve hugging red number. It only went to mid thigh leaving her tan, fit legs exposed. Her plentiful chest was proudly on display. The platinum blonde hair falling down her back in big bouncy curls. They approached us.
"Special delivery!" Justin joked.
"Sorry, we're a few minutes late guys!" Scarlett said with a smile.
"It's quite alright. You aren't riding with Randy?" I implored. She shook her head.
"We got into a small disagreement. I decided it may be best if we didn't ride together tonight. It was nice of you to offer him such a compromise earlier though," She said softly.
"No problem. Shall we head out men, Scarlett?" I was met with a round of yeses and cheers. "Well let's go then."
We all loaded into the limo I'd procured. It was the only thing big enough for a group this size to ride in style. The ride over to the event was pretty uneventful just chattering amongst themselves. I couldn't help but think about tomorrow night. This party tonight seemed so frivolous when such an important event was looming over our heads for tomorrow.
Finally, the limo pulled up at the red carpet. We slowly filed out of the limo. I looked back at the car to see Justin extending his hand to Scarlett, helping her out of the cab. I found their relationship to be a little odd. They just weren't two people I'd think would have a lot in common.
"Wade! Over here!" an interviewer beckoned. I walked over to him.
"Hello Wade."
"Hello there."
"So you are leading your team against team WWE. How are you feeling about your match tomorrow night?" He said before putting a mic in my face.
"As usual, I have no doubt that The Nexus will leave SummerSlam with our arms being held up in victory."
"Strong words from Wade Barrett! Do you really think you have what it takes to beat out John Cena and his team?"
"Of course I do. We have what it takes. We have things they don't."
"Really? What does the Nexus have that Team WWE doesn't?"
"We are a brilliant team of up and comers. Team WWE is old and stale. We are bringing all of our pure talent and sheer determination. Besides that we have quite a hell spawn for a cheerleader," I said with a chuckle.
"So would you say Scarlett Sinclair is your secret weapon?"
"I don't think it's very secret. She has been a great addition to our team. In essence, she has brought a breath of fresh, spunky air to the group."
"Well hopefully she will be cheering you guys on to a major win tomorrow night."
"I sure hope so."
"I wish you the best of luck tomorrow!"
"Thank you very much!" I shook his hand and continued down the carpet.
I looked over to see a smiling Scarlett being interviewed. She was flanked by her usual duo of Heath and Justin. She seemed so at ease, so happy in front of the camera. The camera in turn liked her as well. She looked over and saw me watching. A smile crossed her face and she waved. I nodded.
"Wade! Wade! can we get a picture of you and Scarlett!?" One of the photographers asked. We both reluctantly stood next to each other. I put an arm around her and smiled. Once the blindness from the flash subsided, I saw it. A seething Randy Orton watching the whole ordeal. I was really hoping tonight would stay an uneventful one….
