Chapter 14 "Rated R for Revenge"
-I hate them! –Ashley yelled.
-I know you do, me too! –John said back at her.
They were in his locker room, it was the night after Summerslam. She was sat on the couch and he was walking backwards and forwards through the room.
-And besides, -he continued- I think everyone else does too.
-Yeah, but that didn't stop them yesterday and he's still the champ! I hate him!
Then Raw began and John joined Ashley on the couch to watch it on tv. Lita had just thrown John's championship in the water from the dock and Edge was showing everyone his new "Rated R" belt.
-Ya know baby I'm so sick of them! –John yelled and stood up nervously again. –I'm going to take my title back, I swear. And I'll do anything to take it back. Anything.
-I know John, -she said sympathetically- and I know that you deserve to be the champion, not him. That's for sure. Since you first won the title you've fought against everyone to defend it and you always won correctly even if your challengers tried anything regular and irregular to beat you. And every time he does something to screw you and take the belt! He and his hoe!
-Thanks. –He smiled a little bit.
-It's just the truth. –She said truthfully. Then she took a frustrated breathe –Maybe it was a bad idea to come out with you yesterday, -she said sadly- I'm sorry you got distracted because of me.
-Hey, don't say that, -he said softly going down on his knees in front of her- it wasn't your fault.
During the title match the previous night, Lita took Ashley and started hitting her on the announcers' table, she tried to fight back but she couldn't do anything also because she got two broken ribs, courtesy of Edge's spear on the club table; so John got distracted by the situation and the ref too, then Edge hit him on the back of his head with a pair of brass knuckles and so the Rated R superstar pinned the Doctor of Thuganomics.
-Yes, it was! And going out there with these stupid broken ribs was the most stupid decision ever! We should have known that Lita was going to take advantage of it.
-Then we're really stupid, or at least I am, cause you're going in the ring with me tonight too.
-What? No way John! Forgive it!
He gently caressed her cheek –I need you out there Ash.
-But… you know, she's better than me, stronger than me… what could I do?
-She's no better than you if she always needs to cheat to win just like her boyfriend. Come with me, I want you in my corner.
-If you ask it like that… -she said sweetly and kissed him deeply.
-I hate to stop it but we should go now… -he smirked.
-Yeah I'm ready! –She took his hand as they began to walk outside the locker room. John was wearing his new T-Shirt and his CG jeans, Ashley was wearing a pair of military pants and a pale pink tank top which created a nice contrast with the pants' colors. They both were wearing the Chain Gang cap.
Just before surpassing the curtain John said –Be careful with those ribs baby, don't run or jump, just walk 'k?
-Yeah but… why should I jump? –She laughed.
He shook his head laughing –Okay overprotective boyfriend, never mind.
-Don't worry for me. –She giggled.
As the match began Ashley took control of Lita outside the ring; she stopped her once while she was trying to take Edge out of a STFU and then made her fall against the steel stairs of the ring's entrance when she was handing the belt to her boyfriend so he could hit John, Edge saw her and immediately jumped out of the ring in defense of Lita. He pulled Ashley's hair to make her stop and then kissed her looking at John; he ran out and as they started fighting outside the ring were both counted out so the belt was still Edge's. John was so pissed off that he took Edge and hit him through the whole backstage area, then also outside the arena and finally threw him in the water from the dock (just as Lita did earlier with his belt) crying "I ain't goin' nowhere, you son of a bitch! I'll take my title back! And you'd better take your rated R hands off of my girlfriend!".
When he finally came back he found Ashley outside the locker room talking with Maria.
-Oh my gosh here you are! Are you okay? –She yelled concerned.
-Of course I am. –He kissed her on the forehead- Him… not so much!
-That idiot! –She yelled.
-Well, we're not the rated R superstars but I think tonight they've learnt that it's better not mess with us either!
-My superhero! –She said and kissed him.
-You were doing great out there baby, seriously.
-Really?
-I swear!
-Thanks! –She jumped with her arms on his neck- Aaah! Geez!
-I told you not to jump! –He said smirking- Don't cha know you always have to listen to your trainer?
-Shut up and kiss me trainer!
-As you wish… -but before their lips touched he added- and btw next time he takes his tongue close to you… HE'S DEAD!
She giggled and they kissed.
