The next day was upon us, and Seth and Cara were sleeping in for a bit. That is until Seth got up before her, since he would be starting the morning in the gym in about an hour or so. He carefully moved from the bed before going over to his things and getting clothes for the gym, going into the bathroom to change. When he comes out, she has a hold of his pillow. He chuckles to himself, going over to get a gym bag together. He gets all that done and comes back to stand beside the bed. He watches her with a smile.
"You're being a creeper." She says without opening her eyes.
"I'm a creeper for watching you sleep." He chuckles.
"Yep."
"Okay then." He says, amused.
"Going to the gym already?"
"Not until I get a text or call from one of the other two. Just wanted to be ready."
"Oh." She yawns.
"Sorry if I woke you."
"It's okay. I'd probably be getting up soon anyway."
"Ah, ok."
She opens her eyes and smiles sleepily.
"You look cute." He grins.
"Right..." She says dryly.
"You have strange standards."
"Love you too."
"You know I love you even though you're a goof."
"I know that very well."
"Good."
"So are you doing anything tonight show-wise?" He asks.
"Match against Eve on Smackdown and then a tag team match on Raw."
"Does this involve more Christmas-themed ring attire?" He asks hopeful.
"The tag team match yes." She laughs.
"Is it the sparkly one? Or something new?"
"New."
"Now this I can't wait to see."
"Of course." She says amusedly.
"Not red or green."
"So any colors besides those two."
"Yes." She nods.
"Looking forward to it."
"You always do. You get to be more touchy." She teases.
"That is true."
"Your favorite hobby. Or at least one of them." She says as she stretches.
"It is." He nods.
She gets up out of bed and stretches more.
"What about you?" She asks.
"Booked for SmackDown, but not for the Raw taping so you have me all to yourself the 2nd half of the night."
"Yayy."
"Well other than your tag team match, but besides that...you and me the rest of the night."
"More time to sneak off." She giggles.
"Exactly."
"Can't wait for that."
"Neither can I."
She walks over to her clothes and starts to pick something out to wear shopping. As she does that, Seth's phone does indeed go off.
"That's Roman. He's waiting in the lobby. Gotta go."
"Have a good workout." She says as he leans down to get a kiss.
"Have fun shopping."
"Oh I will. Love you."
"Love you too."
He grabs his bag and leaves. She gets an outfit picked and goes into the bathroom. She decides to take a relaxing shower before getting ready.
In the meantime, along with myself, Dean is passed out. I get woken up by his phone going off, but he's still passed out and I don't know it.
"Dean...your phone..." I mumble sleepily.
All I get is silence so I look and see him asleep. I shake him. That doesn't work, so I do it a few more times, but still nothing. He just grumbles and buries his face in the pillow. So I sit up and grab my pillow and throw it at him to see if that works.
"Get up lazy."
"Whaaaat." He groans, yawning.
"Your phone was going off."
He grumbles and sits up, grabbing his phone.
"Grumbly." I state, taking my pillow back and laying back down.
"They're waiting down in the lobby for me." He mutters.
"Then you should get moving now shouldn't you?" I giggle.
"Do I get a kiss for motivation?"
"I suppose. Even though you know I would never deny you that."
"Of course." He says, leaning in.
I lean in the rest of the way, and press my lips to his. One of my hands go to the back of his neck as I hold him in place so that it'll be enough motivation for him to get up. When I feel that he's gotten enough of the kiss for motivation, I start to pull away, but let the kiss linger as a bonus for him.
"Thank you." He grins.
"Anything for you."
He sneaks one more short kiss before getting up.
"So how are you gonna explain to the guys that you're late?" I ask amusedly.
"Be honest, I was asleep until you heard my phone." He shrugs.
"And I had to get you up. Deep sleeper."
"My bad." He chuckles.
"Shaking you didn't work. I had to throw a pillow at you." I laugh.
"Oops."
"So, if you would like to know. I'm not booked in a match for SmackDown tonight. But Cara is and I want to be there for her in her match. And as far as Raw goes, I've got a tag team match with her. An Eight-Diva tag team match."
"So most of the night is free. Awesome."
"I may just have different ring attire for Raw by the way."
"Oh? Do I get a hint?"
"Christmas themed. That's all you get."
"Aww. Well I can't wait to see it."
"No snooping around in my things tonight during SmackDown either. It's for Raw and it's gonna stay hidden until then."
"Okay."
"What about you? Booked for both shows or just one?"
"Just one as far as I know."
"Leaves more time for ourselves. I like that."
"I know, me too."
"But I think I'll let you go get ready now so you're not more late than you already are."
"Right." He chuckles.
With his gym clothes in hand, he then heads into the bathroom to change, and I continue to lay there, too comfortable to move right now. When he comes out, he packs his gym bag. Then he comes to the side of the bed.
"I'll see you later. Have fun shopping."
"I will." I nod.
He gives me a kiss and then leaves to meet Seth and Roman. After laying there for a while, I finally decide to get up and get some clothes to change into. I do the usual morning routine after that before texting Cara and seeing if she was ready to go. She replies with a yes. Natalya is ready too so we agree to meet in the lobby. After getting shoes on, I pull on my jacket and grab what I need before leaving the room and head down to the lobby.
"Hey Sere." Cara says as I walk up.
"Hey."
Nattie soon shows up and we greet her. We decide who is driving and go for something to eat before shopping.
"This girls day is definitely needed. It's been too long since we all did something together."
"For sure!" Nattie agrees.
"It's also going to be fun being in the tag match with you tonight."
"Definitely. I love tagging with you girls."
"And we love tagging with you too."
"It's nice to work with people who really care about what we do, not just the perks." Cara remarks.
"Exactly."
"Those ones give the rest of us a bad name."
"Which is so not right."
"I know."
We soon get to a place to eat, and head inside after we park. We find a table and sit, looking over the menus.
"So, I don't see much of you two in the Divas locker room anymore." Nattie remarks.
"We share a different one."
"Just the two of you? Or.."
"Three others besides us."
"Well I know it's none of the other girls...okay you two...spill the details."
Cara and I start giggling.
"Well people would probably look at us like we were crazy, but it's Seth, Roman and Dean." I explain.
"No way." Nattie raises her eyebrows.
"Way."
"See we were friends with them all, before they even got here."
"Oh really?"
"Oh yeah. But we all kind of had a falling out as the years went on."
"Got busy, lost touch." Cara shrugs.
"Right. But seeing them debut at Survivor Series kind of shocked us, because we haven't seen them in years. So after the show, when we were leaving, they just happened to be leaving too and we had a little reunion."
"Haven't been apart since then really."
"And can you keep a secret? Not many really know about this.."
"Of course I can." Nattie agrees.
"Well everyone of course knows that Roman is taken. Well Seth and Dean are too now."
"Oh my gosh, you two and them?"
"Seth." Cara states, referring to them together.
"Dean." I add, referring to us together.
"Aww!"
"They're at the gym now, but I'm expecting pictures from Seth." Cara laughs.
"Oooh." She teases.
"Speaking of pictures though..." Cara says.
She gets her phone and unlocks it before showing Nattie her background, which is a picture of her and Seth.
"Awwww. You two are so cute!"
She just smiles and locks her phone back up.
"I took a few pictures myself while we all were home in Tampa last week. The only pictures you'll see of us, because I don't want to put these on the internet yet since he's more of a private person. Even though he said he'd make an exception for me." I say as I take my phone out and do the same.
"That's sweet! He does seem like he's private. Its cute that he's willing to let you post things even though he is. " Nattie smiles.
"Well he is very sweet." I nod.
"Well good."
"A side people don't know he has yet."
"Right. How about you? Is he treating you right?" Nattie looks at Cara.
"Definitely. He's so much better than Wade, believe me." She assures her.
"Oh good."
"He's ridiculously sweet." She smiles.
"That's good. You deserve that so much."
"Thanks Nattie. You don't have to worry about me anymore. He treats me like a princess."
"Totally in love with her." I add.
"Awwww."
"They're total lovebirds. Sneaking off for alone time and everything." I laugh.
"Hey, you and Dean sneak off too."
"Not as much or as long."
"That's true."
Nattie laughs.
"Sounds like you girls are very happy."
"We are."
"I'm so happy to hear that."
Once we've decided on what we want, the waitress comes over and we place our orders, and she takes the menus.
"So, what are you wearing for the tag team match for Raw?" I ask.
"I'm wearing pink, of course." Nattie grins.
"What you wore in the pre-show Sunday? I loved that."
"Thanks." She smiles.
"I'm wearing blue." Cara says.
"Oooh."
"I wanted to be different."
"Right. Of course. Mine's red and white, candy cane actually. And my boots are having a fur covering with candy canes on them."
"Ooh that sounds fun."
"Totally."
"Can't wait for you to see it."
Cara nods. Our food comes and we eat, talking about various topics. When we were all done, we got the check and all chipped in for it before getting up and heading back out to the car to go shopping. We're in the first store of the mall when my phone goes off.
"Oh boy. He's started." Cara says.
"Uh oh." I snicker.
She pulls up the picture and groans.
"Not fair."
"How bad is it?" I laugh.
"Shirtless doing pull-ups."
"Ooooooh."
"Uh-huh."
"I think you know what you have to do in retaliation right?" I nudge her.
"I know, find a killer outfit."
"Exactly." I smirk.
"We'll help."Nattie grins.
We then go around the store, looking for clothes to make the perfect killer outfit to get back at Seth for the first picture of the day he sent her. We find one and she goes into the dressing room to put it on. Once she had it on, she came out to show us.
"Ooooh that's gonna kill him."
"I'll take the picture." Nattie says.
Cara hands her the phone. She then poses and Nattie takes the picture. She hands her the phone back and Cara sends it to Seth.
"I wish we could see his face." She laughs.
"Oh I know right?"
"But let me try this other stuff on. You guys can go shop for yourselves now." She giggles.
"Alright." I nod.
And just as I say that, now my phone goes off.
"Oh jeez. Do I wanna look?"
"Yes and no." Cara says with a laugh.
"Might as well." I say as I open the picture message.
"Ohhh."
"What did yours do?"
"Well not the same as Seth, but benchpressing...and shirtless too."
"Oh man. Shall we pay him back too?" Cara grins.
"Well I did say that torture runs both ways so I think so."
"Let me get this stuff tried on. Nattie can help you look while I do this." Cara says.
I nod. She heads back in to get the other stuff tried on while Nattie helps me look. Cara puts up what she doesn't want and carries what she does want with her as she joins us.
"Just imagine how crazy we'll go when we get to that certain store." Cara gives me a look with a smirk on her face.
"They're going to die." I smirk too.
"Big time."
"What store?" Nattie questions.
"Victoria's Secret." Cara states.
"Ohhhhh. That's gonna be fun."
"Oh yes." We grin.
"I think just sending them a picture of the store will drive them crazy in general. I can just see Seth's face now."
Cara bursts into giggles.
"Be like...'Oh no they're going to that store'."
Cara nods, still giggling. Nattie laughs.
"I almost feel sorry for them."
"I know right?"
We get myself an outfit and go to the dressing rooms again. I find an empty one and head in to try on the outfit.
"Messing with them is oh so much fun." Cara giggles.
"It sure seems like it." Nattie laughs.
"Oh, like you don't mess with your man." Cara scoffs teasingly.
"Oh I do from time to time." She nods.
"So you know how fun it is."
"I do."
"So no mocking us missy, you're guilty of it too."
"You ready yet Sere?" Cara calls to me.
"Just a sec. One last zipper."
After getting that zipper, I open the door and walk out to them.
"Oh yes, you'll win this round with that." Cara smirks.
"And then he'll probably be expecting me to have this bought." I laugh.
"Probably."
"Alright. Time for a picture." I say as I hand my phone off to Cara.
I pose and she snaps the picture. She hans the phone back to me so I can send it to Dean.
"Just hope he's not doing anything when he gets this."
"If so then oops."
"Might be in for it later, but it's worth it." I grin, before heading back in to change out of the outfit.
"Totally." Cara agrees.
After changing out of the outfit, I come back out with it in hand.
"Yup, this is a definite." I nod.
"Alright. Are we done with this store?"
"I believe so. Yeah."
"To the register it is."
Once we get everything paid for, we head out of the store and make our way to another. We go back and forth through texts and pictures with Seth and Dean the whole time we're in the different stores. The last store we have is the one we've been waiting for, Victoria's Secret.
"Now this is gonna be really fun."
"Definitely." She giggles.
"Gotta take a picture of the logo and send it to them first." I snicker.
Cara laughs and nods. We both do so with our own phones. Once we're done with that, we all head inside and look around. The two of us are sticking to the modest things for the most part.
"I think I've got everything I could basically find that I liked." I remark.
"I see other stuff I want but Seth and I aren't at that point in our relationship yet."
"Right right."
"I'm waiting to see when he makes his move."
"Of course."
"Which could be soon after what you've done today." Nattie laughs.
"Maybe. We'll have to see."
"Right. Depends on his control." She teases.
"And after today he may not have much control." I add amusedly.
Cara starts blushing.
"I can definitely see you two sneaking off tonight an awful lot."
"That was already a given."
"Gonna be a long night for sure."
"Yeah I know."
"Oh, I believe they're heading back to the hotel." I remark as I read the text from Dean when my phone goes off.
"Yup." Cara says as she gets a text from Seth.
"Should get what we have paid for and get going then."
Nattie and Cara agree, so the three of us head to the counter. After getting everything paid for there, we head out of the store.
"This was fun. Should definitely make a whole day together sometime when we're not as busy."
"Definitely, just text me." Nattie smiles.
"We will for sure."
We leave the mall and go back to the hotel. We say bye to Nattie and go to our rooms.
"Good luck with Seth." I giggle.
"Same to you with Dean." Cara laughs.
"This is gonna be interesting."
"Very."
Once we reach the hallway where it splits off, Cara goes one way to her room and I go the other to mine. She takes a break before going into her room.
"There you are." Seth grins.
"Hi there." She giggles.
"So how was the shopping?"
"It was good. I had fun."
"Had fun sending me pictures..."
"You started it. I told you I would retaliate." She says amusedly as she starts to put her things away.
"That you did." He says, as he tries to get a peek at what she's putting away.
"Ah ah ah." She scolds him, swatting at him.
"Awww."
"No snooping."
"Darn."
She finishes and gets up. She kicks her shoes off, having taken her jacket off already.
"Hope I wasn't too distracting while you were working out in the gym." She grins.
"You were a distraction but it was a good one."
"Touche."
She walks over and climbs onto the bed.
"I think I beat you as far as pictures though." She giggles.
"I think so too actually."
"Woo!" She cheers.
"So what did you get exactly in that last store?" He asks, climbing onto the bed next to her.
"You think I'm actually going to tell you?" She laughs.
"It was worth a shot."
"Sure." She says amusedly.
"I can wait to find out."
"Sure about that?" She teases.
"It'll be a challenge, but I think so."
"We'll see how it goes." She giggles.
"Alright." He nods.
"You're not being very stealthy." She remarks, having noticed him moving closer and closer.
"Don't know how that's possible with you right there." He chuckles.
"True." She concedes.
"Plus you can see me. Probably would be sneakier if you weren't looking at me."
"Touché."
"But I'm glad we're both back here now."
"I know you are because you look like you're about to attack me." She laughs.
"Well can you blame me?"
"No. The pictures didn't help." She giggles.
"Especially the last few." She smirks.
"Yes, especially those."
She squeals as he pulls her up against him.
"I like messing with your control."
"You sure do."
"Did it work?"
"Possibly. The things you do to me."
"I love you too." She giggles as he lays her on her back and pins her down.
"You know I love you." He grins.
"Hmm do I?" She teases.
"You do."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm pretty sure, yeah."
"Well I show you every day."
"Like how?"
"Well let's see. The affection, actually saying to you that I love you..."
"The things I do for you, and the way I look at you." He finishes, looking down at her with love.
"I love you too." She says softly with a content smile.
"And nothing's going to change that...ever."
"Right." She agrees and brushes her lips against his cheek.
"I think you missed." He chuckles.
"My bad." She laughs softly.
She leans up so her lips meet his.
"Better." He mumbles against her lips.
"Shh." She nips his bottom lip.
He just grins and then focuses on kissing her. She gets her hands free and slides them under his shirt. He jumps only slightly because they were just a bit cold, but it doesn't take him very long to relax into the feeling. She's content to let her hands wander while her mouth is occupied with his. Since his hands were free, he too let his hands wander the best he could as well. She gets frustrated with his shirt and pulls it up while tugging on it. He chuckles and pulls from her lips and sits up to take it off for her. He tosses it aside and she pulls him back down. She initiates another kiss while letting her fingertips explore his warm skin. He pulls from her lips again after a while, but as usual, he trails along other areas of skin that he could reach. She leans into his touch, signing contentedly when his hands sneak under her shirt. He does keep in mind as he goes to her neck, the shows tonight so of course no marks again this time. His hands fidget a little and he messes with her shirt. She can tell he's fighting with himself he wants the shirt off but doesn't want to push her. After getting all the skin he possibly could, he makes his way back to her lips, but still fighting himself with her shirt. She puts her finger against his lips to stop him for a moment. Then she reaches down and starts to shimmy out of her shirt. "You sure?"
"I wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't. I trust you."
He moves yet again so she can sit up and take off her shirt, and she tosses that aside. She lays back down, pulling him with her. They both make content sounds at the skin contact. From there, he lets his hands wander again, it being easier for him with her shirt now gone. She brings his mouth back to hers and kisses him hard. Her hands wander everywhere, before moving to his hair, and she tugs a bit at times. Seth growls quietly and she giggles. That encourages her to do it again, earning the same reaction a second time. Then he takes control of th kiss, distracting her from teasing him. Since he did that, her hands fall from his hair and rest on his shoulders as she gets lost in the kiss. After a bit he pulls away and puts his face against her neck while trying to get ahold of himself. She realizes that one of his hands is holding onto her bra clasp.
"You stopped." She says softly.
"I don't want to push it too far." He mumbles.
"I thought showing you those last few pictures would let you know that I'm okay with this next step. I wanted it to be your move."
"I just wasn't sure."
"Well now you know. Probably best to wait anyway. I pull double duty tonight and we're in a hotel, who knows how sound proof the walls are."
"True."
"Gives me the chance to make things perfect for you." He adds.
"Aww, you're sweet."
"Always."
She gets him out of her neck and gives him a kiss.
"I love you."
"Words can't describe how much I love you too."
She kisses him again. Then they move so that she's laying on top of him. He pulls the blanket up over them so that she doesn't get cold. His arms wrap around her and she smiles. They decide to pass the rest of their free time just talking and cuddling. It was the same scenario when I had walked into me and Dean's room. Except when I had walked in, and started to put the clothes and such I got away, he had walked out of the bathroom, half dressed in only jeans, after he clearly had just taken a shower.
"Now that's not fair." I say upon seeing him.
"Hey now, how was I supposed to know you'd be back as I walked out of the bathroom?" He chuckles.
"Still isn't fair."
"Oh I think so after those last few pictures." He replies.
"Oops?"
"Yeah oops."
"Well you had started it all."
"...My bad."
"Suuure."
"Did you have a good time with your friends?"
"I did." I nod.
"Well good. I'm glad you did." He walks over and gives me a kiss.
"It's nice to have days like today even if they are for only a few hours or so."
"Right. It's nice to unwind. "
"And before you even try or ask, no you cannot see what I got...other than what you already saw."
"Aww."
"Not even little hints especially from that last store?" He adds.
"You would ask about that store in particular. But I'll give you this. Everything I got there, is modest. Stuck to that for the most part."
"Okay."
"Because we're not at that point where I can actually wear anything else from there."
"Right. I completely respect that. Whenever you're ready for that is when it'll happen."
"But I know you'll still like what I got. Thing is...you can't peek right now."
"Darn."
"You'll survive though."
"I know, I just like teasing you."
*And just then he just wraps his arms around.*
"No, you're all wet!" I squeal.
"Mwahahaha." He laughs.
"And you're not going anywhere, so struggle all you want." He adds.
"Deannnn, now I'm wet!"
"Oops."
"You goofball."
"That's me."
"Your goofball." He adds, grinning.
"Yes." I nod.
Dean kisses me again.
"So what are we doing until we need to be at the arena?"
"I don't know. Any suggestions?"
"I feel like being lazy."
"Watch a movie?"
"Sounds good."
I go get on the bed while he puts on a movie. After it's in and starts to play, after going through the previews and menu and stuff, he comes over to the bed and plops down on it next to me. I move closer and snuggle into his side. He wraps an arm around me and kisses my head. We ended up watching a few movies to pass the time until we were needed at the arena. I had set an alarm on my phone to let us know so that we wouldn't lose track of time. A movie just ends as your alarm goes off.
"Nice timing." Dean chuckles.
"No kidding."
I give him a kiss and get up to get ready.
"I shouldn't take long."
"Alright." He nods.
He gets up to get his bag together and put a shirt on. I get everything done fairly quickly, because I knew what I was wearing and what was going with it, and etc. I then make sure I have everything set to go in my bag for the night. I walk out and Dean is completely ready, waiting on the bed.
"Amazing." He grins, looking me up and down.
"Charmer."
"Just for you."
"Makes me wonder what you'll think of my festive ring attire for Raw tonight, if you like this outfit so much."
"I can't wait to see it."
"You'll have an awful long time to wait to see it. That's for sure."
"That's the one thing I don't like."
"I know. But I can't just walk around in it all night."
"I know."
"Might end up attracting attention from people I don't want to attract attention from."
"We don't want that."
"No, not at all."
"Shall we get going? We don't want to be late."
"Yes, we shall."
He gets up while I put my jacket on. The two of us then leave. In the meantime, Seth and Cara were getting ready to go themselves. After having gotten changed, she was making sure she had everything herself ready to go. She double checks everything and then zips the bag up.
"There."
"Got everything?"
"Yup." She nods while picking up her jacket.
"Good."
She puts the jacket on and picks up her bag.
"All ready." She smiles at him.
"You look amazing." He grins.
"You are such a Romeo." She pats his cheek and giggles.
"I try." He chuckles.
She raises up and kisses him. She pulls away before he gets a chance to really respond and slips out the door.
"Heyyy."
"Keeping you on your toes." She laughs as he comes out the door after her.
"Touche."
"It's going to be a long night so I have to amuse myself."
"True."
We go to the car and drive off to the arena. When they get to the arena, they get everything out of the car before heading inside and going right to the locker room.*
"I have a feeling we'll be running into someone we don't like at some point." She says as Seth and her walk there while holding hands.
"Unfortunately."
"Not looking forward to it."
"I know."
"But I have you as a distraction so I think I'll be alright." I say with an amused smile.
"That is true."
"You know, Nattie was surprised to know we're dating. I'm a bit surprised more people don't know about us."
"People are probably in denial or something."
"I guess so."
"But more people will find out when they find out."
"Mmhmm. I just figured people would have noticed. You aren't exactly subtle with your affection."
"No, not really." He chuckles.
He spontaneously leans down and kisses her. She quickly responds, stepping closer to him as they stop moving.
"Like that." She remarks, after pulling from his lips.
"I know." He grins.
"Another way I show my love for you." He adds.
"Of course." She says, smiling softly at the reminder of their playful teasing earlier in the day.
"I always will show you how much I love you."
"I know."
He gives her another quick kiss, before they continue on their way to the locker room. Dean and I have beaten them to the room as usual. We all greet each other. Since the guys of course always seem to get ready first, Dean was already set for the show. Seth kisses her quick before going in to change himself. She sits on the couch and gets comfortable.
"So dare I ask how your time went when you got back to your hotel room?" I give her an amusd look.
"Not saying a word." She states.
"Not with your boy in the room."
"Darn."
"Tell you later."
"Touche."
"Trust me Dean, it's not something you want to hear." She says as he looks between us.
"I trust you. I don't want to hear what Seth does in that department. A little too much info for me."
She and I both laugh.
"Don't worry, you won't know a thing."
"Good." He nods firmly.
It isn't long until Seth comes out, but he also comes out with Roman, who obviously was getting ready for the show the time Cara and Seth had walked into the locker room.
"Hey Rome." She says as he tugs on her hair gently, greeting her much like a brother would his sister.
He goes to sit, and Seth comes and sits next to her like always. She snuggles into him and makes a contented noise.
"So do you two have a match or matches tonight?" Roman asks.
"I have two. Single's match for SmackDown, and then a tag match for Raw." Cara remarks.
"Wow, double duty huh?"
"Mmhmm. Not the first time it's happened."
"Right. What about you Sere?" He asks.
"Tag match on Raw. And yes it's the same one as Cara. We're teaming with Layla and Nattie."
"Ohh."
"You know, I believe Eve is on the opposite team, so you get to kick her ass twice tonight." I say to her.
"I know, isn't it great?" She snickers.
"Best part of the night for you."
"Yup."
"I wouldn't mind getting my hands on her a few times tonight myself."
"You probably will."
"I can't wait."
"She's going down."
"Oh yes. And if she tries to chicken out in your singles match tonight, I'm gonna be right there to throw her ass back into the ring. No way is she going to get herself counted out."
"Sounds good."
The show eventually starts and it gets kicked off with MizTV. Mike says that he is going to get answers from his guests tonight before bringing out the new couple of Dolph and AJ with their bodyguard Big E. Langston in tow.
"Oh lord. I hope they don't start making out."
"Please no."
"Don't wanna see that."
"I'm gonna make this simple. One question, three letters, why?"
"Really? Really? Instead of asking me why, why don't you have John Cena as a guest on your show and ask him why he toyed with my heart? Because if you got an answer to that, then maybe all this would make a little more sense. I lost my job as the General Manager of Raw because I wanted to keep John Cena's good name clean. I thought it was all worth it, because this happened." She motions to the tron and the night last month where she and John had kissed.
"I thought that was the start of something, that we were gonna take it to the next level and create something beautiful. But I was wrong. John Cena was just playing with my heart, and my emotions. I even made him gifts." She motions to the tron again and the segment between Vickie and John backstage and the bows with his face on them being found in the locker room.
"Those were cute."
"John Cena doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself. John Cena broke my heart. And so I helped Dolph Ziggler break John Cena."
"Well aren't you two America's Sweethearts. But didn't he call you trash a couple of weeks ago, and Dolph you're all aboard the crazy train?"
"Oh boy, he said that 'c' word."
"Uh oh."
And then of course, the mute bodyguard, Big E. Langston steps up to Mike.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Maybe I should change my question from why to who?"
"Who? This...is Big E. Langston. He's a friend of mine and he really doesn't like it when people use that word to describe me Miz."
"Well why don't you skip around this ring a couple times while I think of an apology."
Cara snickers.
"Ah Miz, as usual..hilarious yet completely clueless." Dolph interrupts.
"See AJ isn't...earmuffs babe. Crazy. She's passionate. And I learned that last night. When Big E. came into this ring and crushed John Cena. I also learned it earlier in the night, when she gave me the hottest kiss in the near 20 year history of Monday Night Raw. So John Cena can win the Slammy for Superstar of the Year. Congratulations John, keep it. I don't need Slammys. But at TLC, not only did I keep my Money in the Bank contract, when it comes to John Cena, it's just like my t-shirt says Miz. I stole the show. And his girlfriend."
"Well that's great Dolph, and I hope you can satisfy each and every one of AJ's multiple personalities. Because you two deserve each other. And man can you pick these women. I'll tell you what, I mean what? She's been with a monster, a goat face, a gimp, Marky Mark, and now she's settled for the sixth member of One Direction."
Cara and I start cracking up.
"I would've said a life size Ken doll, but that works too." I say through my laughter.
"Yes it does."
Dolph steps back and nods to Big E, and Big E. attacks.
"Can't even be a man and do that himself."
"Been like that since 2010."
"True."
"Show...off." AJ states before skipping around the ring as her music goes off.
"Oh boy, now she's gonna be like him. As if we don't get enough of him each week."
"Joy."
But then the cameras go backstage to Teddy Long and Booker T.
"Hey Book. Hey."
"Hey, what's going on dawg?"
"Nothing much dawg. You got a second?"
"Yeah yeah."
"There's a kid here tonight, that I'd like for you to take a look at and possibly give him an opportunity."
"Who?"
"Hi, Brad Maddox."
"Still failed attempts as to getting rehired I see."
"Mmhmm."
"'scuse me. Let me holla at you dawg." He pulls Teddy aside.
"What the hell is wrong with you man?"
"What?"
"That's the kid that screwed Ryback. You gonna bring him...after everything he's done, you're gonna bring this kid around here? Tell me you saw this kid just stroll out on stage next to me on the Slammys. You saw that right?"
"Yeah, I was there, I saw that."
"Look at him. Look at him! Kid's just plain creepy. He's trouble dawg. He's trouble!"
"Maybe so. But he's got a great social media following."
"What?!"
"And hey, have you seen his new Youtube show? The Brad Maddox Experience?"
"No I have not seen his YouTube show. I don't trust this guy Teddy. I don't trust him."
"Come on, I mean what's the problem? You afraid of a little controversy?"
Controversy? Controversy?"
"Listen Book. I think that he's got talent. He's hungry, he's here tonight looking for a match to try an earn a contract. I mean, who could it hurt? And Book, you of all people know that a man deserves a second chance."
"Alright fine Teddy, you ain't gotta go there alright? You want a match? He got a match alright? Tonight."
"With who?"
"Tell you what, since he's your project, you tell him he'll find out when he gets out there tonight alright? You tell him that."
"Thanks man. Brad."
"Teddy."
"Well you heard what the GM said."
"I heard him."
"You do have a match tonight."
"I know. And I'll find out when I get out there, thank you Teddy."
"Someone's a suck up."
"Just a bit."
The ring was now clear and ready for the next match. It would be Damien against Sin Cara. Cody was ringside in Damien's corner, but no sign of Rey to be in Sin Cara's corner.
"And this is where we're needed." Roman remarks, getting up from where he was sitting.
"Darn." I mutter as I move.
"Won't be gone too long, don't worry." Seth reassures her.
"Okay."
He kisses her cheek before getting up and pulling on the vest, which he had left off when he had come out of the changing area earlier. She pulls him back down for a proper kiss and then she taps her fingers against his heart. He nods and starts to head out behind Roman.
"Have fun...as always." I say to Dean as he gets up and pulls on his vest as well.
"Oh we will."
He then leans down and kisses me quick before heading out last.
"Wonder who it'll be this time."
"Hmm, could be anyone out there really."
"True."
About halfway through the match, before the guys make their way through the crowd and hop the barrier, surrounding the ring. Roman pulls out of his back pocket, Rey's mask and tosses it into the ring.
"Ohhhh."
Sin Cara picks up the mask and then Damien takes advantage and pins him, leaving the ring immediately and then the guys get into the ring and they attack Sin Cara.
"Sucks to be you dude."
Seth and Dean hold him up while Roman hits him with a vicious headbutt. Then Sin Cara gets dragged to the corner and Seth climbs to the top. Keeping in mind of Sin Cara's hurt knee, it gets held out purposely and Seth jumps from the top and his knee connects with Sin Cara's knee, resulting in Sin Cara writhing in pain.
"Ouch." Cara cringes.
They then leave the scene as an EMT checks on Sin Cara.
"Wah wahhhhh."
"Another message sent."
"Yup."
Once the ring was clear, the next match of the night would be Santino against Tensai, just for mocking on on Raw last night. We didn't really want to pay much attention to the match, so we talked amongst each other as we waited for the guys to come back. It isn't too long before the door swings open and they walk in. They all sit back down, Seth and Dean taking their spots back next to us.
"Mmmm." She hums happily, cuddling against Seth.
"And we're not needed for a while now. I believe after your match." He remarks.
"Yayyy."
"Actually excited to see your match."
She smiles and kisses his cheek.
"That's cute."
"Any match you have I'm excited to see."
"Awwww."
"But also I'm excited to see what you have planned to wear for both shows tonight."
"You'll have to wait a little longer." She giggles.
"I know."
"Poor you."
"Yes, poor me."
She pats him on the cheek and laughs.
"You're not the only one who has to wait." I laugh.
"Darn." Dean says.
"Won't be getting into that until we start taping Raw at least."
"Right." Cara agrees.
"She knows what it is though." I smirk.
"I do. She knows mine too." She nods, giggling.
"Oh of course you both know each other's."
"You're sneaky like that." Dean points out.
"We are."
"Yup." We grin.
"You'll survive though."
"Yeah, yeah."
We didn't see who won the Santino and Tensai match, but the current match that we didn't even notice was going on, was Kofi, Daniel and Kane against Wade, Darren and Titus.
"Ignore time." Cara states, hiding her face in Seth's neck.
He chuckles and kisses her head.
"I wouldn't mind ignoring this match myself." I add.
"I can help with that." Dean grins.
"I was expecting you to."
He pulls me into him and gives me a kiss. He actually tries to make it longer than it should be, but when I feel it's gone on too long, I'm the one to pull away and he gives me a look.
"We're not the only ones in here, remember?"
"Oops."
"Do you need that alone time already?"
"Please?"
"And you call us lovebirds." Cara says amusedly.
"Well I wasn't gonna let him continue in here, make Rome uncomfortable."
"Thank you." Roman says with a soft chuckle.
"You're welcome."
"We'll be back then." I say.
Dean and I get up, walking out of the room.
"Lucky." Seth mutters quietly.
"We'll have our time don't worry. Unless you want to go now...leave Roman all by himself..."
"Go ahead, I'll be fine." Roman says.
"I guess that settles it then." She nudges Seth.
He grins happily and practically jumps off the couch. She laughs as she gets up normally.
"Just remember your match Cara. Don't want to hunt you both down like last night." Roman chuckles.
"Of course not." She giggles as she gets pulled out the door.
"You hear that?" She asks Seth with an amused look.
"Uh-huh."
"Good."
"Now to find a good spot..." Seth mutters, looking around.
"Seems as though this arena has more hiding places than last night"
"Thank god. That place sucked."
"Poor poor you."
"Yes, poor me."
"But it was cute how frustrated you were last night."
"You would find it cute."
"Well duh."
"Don't see you get frustrated often, that's why." She adds.
She doesn't gets to tease him much more because he finds a space for them and yanks her into it with him. She squeaks as he does so, and he pulls her close to him, his arms going around her, holding her there. She relaxes into him, giggling softly.
"First time we get alone time tonight." He grins.
"First of many, knowing you."
"It's possible."
"More like probable."
"Tis true."
"You're highly affectionate so it's a given really."
"I like the alone time we can get. As much as we can in one night."
"Of course." She nods.
Right after that she squeals because his hands snuck into her back pockets and he squeezed.
"Sneak."
"That's me." He smirks.
"I thank you for wearing the jeans so I can do this." He adds.
"You're welcome. I know how much you enjoy me wearing jeans."
"I really do."
He squeezes again and she bites her lip.
"Getting to you now?" He smirks.
She blushes a bit but stays quiet.
"It's getting to you."
She sticks her tongue out.
"May want to think the next time before you do that, things can happen with that you know."
She retracts her tongue and giggles.
"That's what I thought."
She smirks and reaches up with one hand and gently traces his ear with her fingertip. He ends up shivering a bit, because it was a light touch as she traced his ear, so that just caused him to squeeze again. She bites her lip again but still ends up giggling over his reaction. It then becomes a game of back and forth squeezing and ear tracing. She ups the level by leaning up and nipping at his ear. He then buries his face in her neck and his hands move from her back pockets so his arms can wrap around her and hold her closer to her.
"I win." She says quietly in his ear with a smirk on her lips.
"...this time..."
"Oh I think I'll be winning most of the time." She laughs.
"We'll see."
"Mmhmm." She agrees, nuzzling his ear and neck.
"I think it's my turn to get to you now in a different way." He mumbles.
"Oh really."
"Mmhmm."
"And what way is that?"
"The best way I can considering where I am right now..." He trails off as he starts to kiss her neck.
"No marks, you know that. I'll make you sleep on the couch if you leave a mark on me." She mutters, tilting her head.
"I know. You have two matches tonight, I'm not gonna do that to you."
"Good." She sighs.
"I just like kissing you here, because of the reactions I get."
"Uh-huh."
"Determined to find more sensitive spots."
"Oh hell." She mumbles as she gets backed up against the wall.
"Yup, you're in trouble." He chuckles.
"Oh boy."
"I'll try to find one for now."
"...okay."
"Save more for later."
"You are going to try and torture me all night aren't you."
"It's probable."
"Ohhhh lord."
"Love you."
"I love you too, you affectionate crazy boy."
He grins and continues with the affection in search of another sensitive spot. She tries to keep as quiet as possible. When he does indeed start to close in on another spot, she tries not to let him know that's where it is, but it's becoming hard for her to. He realizes and smirks, doubling his efforts to get a good reaction. She does her best to bury her face in his neck to muffle any noises, and her hands go to his hair and start to tug on it lightly. He finds a second spot and she groans against his neck. He smirks against her skin and continues there for a bit before starting to move away from it. She mumbles in different languages under her breath. After moving away from the spot, he starts to make his way to her lips, that being where he wants to end. He cuts her off in mid-mumble with his mouth covering hers. It takes a moment but she responds eagerly. Her hands move from his hair, in favor of her arms wrapping around him and she clings to him as she kisses him back just as eagerly as he's kissing her. Seth boosts her up and she wraps her legs around him. His hands rest on her hips for now, until he can let then wander further. She ends up having to break for air.
"Unfortunately I think we have to get back so I can go change." She says breathlessly.
"Oh darn. Just when I was having fun."
"I know, I know."
"We can come back during Raw, for sure." She adds.
"Okay. Deal." Seth agrees.
"And then you'll be in normal clothes so this vest won't be in the way as much."
"That's true."
"Now I think we should go now before Roman has to hunt us down." She giggles.
Seth snickers.
"He probably had to hunt down the other two though."
"Hmm possibly." She giggles.
"I think this will be funny to see." He chuckles.
"Yeah." She nods as he lets her down.
He then takes her hand and laces their fingers before they start to head back to the locker room. She lays her head against his shoulder. When they get back, Roman is sitting where he was when you left, Dean and I are back.
"The only two who could come back on their own." Roman remarks about her and Seth.
"It was a close call." Seth smirks.
"But you still managed to come back on your own. Had to hunt a certain other two down this time."
Cara laughs and kisses Seth's cheek.
"Be right back."
"I'm sorry, I blame him." I point to Dean.
"Oops." Dean shrugs, smirking.
"You said that you would be back though." Roman gives me a look.
"He had me distracted." I point out.
"This is the first time it's happened, not like it's a repeat." I add.
"True." Roman concedes.
"Not like I could help myself." I mutter.
Dean laughs. I playfully swat him on the chest.
"What? I just have the effect on you." He grins.
"Yes you do but Roman and Seth don't need to know that."
"Just between us...and Cara...I tell her everything." I add.
"I see."
"You are gonna have to let me go soon though."
"Aww."
"If I wasn't going out there with Cara for her match, then you wouldn't have to."
"I know."
"But just think. Once you're done for the night, I don't have to move until the Raw match."
"That sounds great."
"And that just gets you closer to seeing what I'm wearing out there tonight."
"Oh yeahhhh."
"Maybe I can give you another little hint..."
"Yes please. " He says eagerly.
"It has fur."
"Fur? Okay..."
"That's all you're getting...from the outfit to the boots...there's fur."
"Alrighty then."
"Don't want to give too much away."
"I know, you want it to be a surprise."
"I do." I nod.
"I can't wait to see it though."
"I know."
That's when Cara walks out in her usual style gear but the color is bright purple with silver accents instead of charcoal grey and black.
"Ooooh, I love that." I remark.
"I know, isn't it awesome?" She grins.
"It is."
"Should probably get going though. It's getting close to time."
"Right." I nod.
I get up and kiss Dean. Cara walks over to where Seth is sitting and gives him a kiss.
"Kick ass out there." He grins.
"Oh I plan on it." She smirk.
"We both do. She's not getting away without a fight from me either." I add.
"Of course not."
"But we'll be back."
"Alright. Be careful."
"We'll try to be."
We then head out of the room and make our way to the curtain for your match. Along the way we're stopped by AJ of all people.
"Good luck out there Cara." She says all chipper.
I raise an eyebrow, giving her a weird look.
"Um, thanks." She replies.
We go to walk away, but she stops me.
"What was that look for Serenity?"
"It's just weird that you would wish her good luck when we're not all exactly friends here."
"She has a point." Cara agrees.
"And to be honest, you're kind of a little..." I trail off, making hand motions, to refrain from saying the word itself.
"Out there." Cara supplies.
I just nod and we go to continue on our way. But we should've known that turning our backs on her after saying that was a bad idea, because the next thing I knew, something was thrown at the back of my head and she jumps on me. Cara turns and grabs her, pulling her off of me. She tosses her across the hall.
"You don't try that shit around me honey. It won't last very long." She tells AJ firmly.
"God, you really are crazy. Yeah I said it."
She's glaring evilly from the floor where she ended up after Cara tossed her. Cara and I then make the rest of the way to the curtain to wait for the current match to end, and for Eve to show up so we could go out for the match.
"You okay Sere?" Cara asks me while she stretches.
"I'm alright. I believe it was just her bottle of water that she threw at me."
"At least it was just that."
"She's like a ticking timebomb. Anything you say sets her off."
"Mmhmm."
It isn't long before the current match is over and those return to the back. Eve then shows up, and we take one look at her and roll our eyes and then try to ignore her. She heads out first once her music goes off. After she makes it to the ring, we go out next. Cara decides to mock Eve ny doing her little hand wave. When we reach the ring, after seeing the look on her face, we high five each other before Cara gets into the ring and she stays on the outside. She pretends to be 'so happy' to see her. The bell rings to start the match and Eve being the fake that she is tries for the before match handshake. Cara isn't having it and she slaps her hand away, before kicking her in the midsection, making her drop to a knee. Cara then goes against the ropes and hits Eve in the face with a dropkick. She goes for the first cover of the night, but Eve kicks out.
"It's still early, you got this Cara." I call.
Eve starts to crawl over to the ropes, holding her face. She reaches the ropes and goes to the outside just as Cara goes over to her and helps her up herself. Eve however kicks her away, but Cara comes back and kicks her off the side of the ring so she falls to the floor on my side. I back up, my hands in the air, showing the ref that I won't do a thing. That's when Cara gets the ref distracted and I go over and hit Eve with a cheap shot, before moving away like nothing happened. Cara then exits the ring and starts to mock Eve as she is all upset about her face hurting. Eve gets to her feet only for Cara to kick her in the face and she goes down again. She takes Eve and rams her back into the side of the ring before throwing her back into it. Cara then goes to the top and just then Eve starts to cling to the ref's leg.
"What the..." Cara says before hopping down and trying to pry Eve away from the ref.
But Eve is not budging and the ref ends up falling and the match is called. Cara is furious and tries to go after her, but Eve exits the ring. Now as I saw Eve trying to escape, I hurried around to that side as fast as I could. I thankfully made it there and just stood there and waited for a few moments.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by disqualification, Cara!"
"I will get you." Cara points at her.
"That title is mine!"
Eve then backs up into me as she crawls backwards on the floor. She looks up to see me, with a less than pleased look on my face and she tries to crawl back towards the ring. I grab her by the hair before she could get away, and I drag her by her hair back there. I throw her back into the ring, before kicking my shoes off and I slide into the ring myself. Cara kicks her in the side. She and I go back and forth exchanging kicks and such to her. She goes to the corner like earlier in her match and climbs to the top as I make sure Eve's not going to move at all. Cara does one of her finishers off the top rope. I then go over and demand the title, and once I'm handed it, I come over and hand it to her. She looks it over and then holds it up for a moment. Then she drops it on top of Eve.
"Best enjoy that while you can. It will be mine soon." She leans down and says to her.
We then exit the ring, and I grab my shoes along the way and then we make our way back up the ramp and then back through the curtain and to the backstage area.
"That felt good." Cara snickers.
"You're welcome for throwing her back into the ring for you."
"Yes, yes. Thank you."
"And now we can relax until our Raw match."
"Yup." She nods.
We do make a stop by catering to get a couple waters, and after that we make our way back to the locker room. We make it there without any interruptions. Once inside, we head back to our spots with our respective boyfriends.
"She would take the easy way out in the match." Seth remarks.
"Its Eve, what else is new?" She shrugs.
"But I liked what you did afterwards." He grins.
"Took a page out of your book. Hope you guys don't mind." She laughs.
"Don't mind at all."
"That's good."
"You're welcome to do so whenever you want." Roman adds.
"Oh thank you."
"It was actually pretty cool to see it come from someone else." Dean continues.
"Does that mean I can do that too?" I ask.
"Definitely." They agree.
"Sweet." I grin.
"Too bad it'd be suspicious if you started powerbombing people." Dean snickers.
"Ohhhh I know. That would be epic."
"Yes it would be."
"Don't think many women in the company ever powerbombed anyone. Not that I can recall."
"No not really."
"Awww, now it sucks we can't do that."
"Maybe later on down the road."
"Maybe."
"But now that your match is over, we got our last appearance of the night up next." Seth adds.
"Oh okay."
"This will be quick like earlier."
"Yayyy."
"So we will be right back." Seth says before kissing you quick.
She nods. Dean kisses me as well. The three guys leave.
"Finally getting to the end of SmackDown."
"Thankfully have pretty much avoided people we don't want to see so far."
"Thank god."
"I know right?"
"Probably more of a chance once Raw starts."
"True."
"Which isn't gonna be so great."
"No."
The next match ended up being Brad Maddox's contract match, if he were to win, then he would get a contract. But his opponent was revealed to be Brodus.
"No contract for you buddy."
"Nope. You gonna get squashed."
And Brodus does end up winning. But before Brodus could dance in celebration, Seth comes out of nowhere and attacks him, which leads to the other two joining in. The attack ends in usual fashion with the Triple Powerbomb.
"Oh nice."
"It's amazing how they lift him up like that."
"I knowwww."
"And he's heavier than Ryback...to an extent."
"Yeah that's true."
"Must be all those Crossfit gyms."
"Hah yeah."
After they're gone from the ring area and make to the backstage area, it isn't too long before they get back to the locker room and walk back in for the 2nd time tonight. Since they're not needed for the Raw taping at all, they head into the changing area to get out of their attire for the night. After that they bring their bags out and drop them over by the door before sitting back in their spots on the couches. she grins and snuggles closer to Seth, it being much easier with everything gone, and him in casual clothes.
"So much better." She mutters.
"I can tell, you're super snuggly." He chuckles.
"Mmhmm."
"Not moving unless I have to." She adds.
"You will eventually." He points out.
"Yeah yeah."
"Yeah you two will want that alone time again." I giggle.
He grins and she blushes, hiding her face in his shoulder.
"And I'm sure they're not the only ones." Roman chuckles.
I look up at Dean and he just smirks.
"As if I didn't have enough from the first time tonight." I mutter.
"You enjoyed it." He snickers.
"Don't say that outloud...they don't need to know."
"My bad."
"No, we really don't." Cara laughs.
"Really." Roman adds.
"See?"
"Sorry." Dean laughs.
"You're forgiven." I kiss his cheek.
He grins and kisses my head. We just caught the beginning of the main event, with AJ and Big E in his corner, Dolph would team with Big Show to face John and Sheamus. During the match, all hell would break loose between Show and Sheamus as the two rivals would battle on the outside of the ring before brawling all the way to the backstage area.
"Well that was a given."
"Too obvious."
"Speaking of crazy out there, you alright? Your backstage thing ended up on camera." Dean asks me.
"It did? Oh I'm fine."
"Hit me pretty hard with the water bottle, but it's just a water bottle. Didn't hurt too much." I add.
"Good."
"Cara tossed her off before she could really do anything." I say.
"Right, we saw that too."
"Nice job on that by the way." Roman says to her.
"Thank you. She's not that heavy really."
"Not too heavy, but not too light to be a rag doll or anything." She adds.
"Right."
John and Dolph were left alone to finish the match Dolph would hit the Zig Zag on John, but he would kick out. As Dolph is arguing with the ref, John would take advantage, hitting the AA on him, but before he could capitalize, Big E would enter the ring and attack John again, leaving him laid out for the second time in two nights with a modified powerslam.
"Of course."
"Boring."
"Well at least SmackDown is over."
