There she stood. Emylee Harris. He watched her movements, talking and Laughing with Vince. She was dressed down and relaxed. He ached from the stitches in his head, but he saw her jump up. She was concerned. He smirked at the fact that she was worried, but didn't show anything. One of the rules he taught her about this business, never show fear. He knew, she still cared about him, and that meant she cared about their future. So what she was with Dave, she loved him, and that's all that mattered. Making his way to her office, she was ready to walk in as he stopped her.
"Paul".
"Em, hey, congrats on the title".
"Thanks, it was Linda's idea, crazy woman."
"All McMahon women are crazy, besides she saw something that everyone else did".
"Don't know about that, but it's been fun so far. You okay, those stitched are pretty nasty".
"I'll be fine, Ive been through worse".
"Alright, well, I gotta go get ready for the show, I'll see ya".
"Sooner than later".
"Yea, whatever".
"Gotcha", he thought.
She opted for a simple pants suit, and cashmere sweater. Dave sat and watched her prep for her big debut as a champ.
"What?"
"You, you're game face, it's the same face that you make when you finish".
"Like I know that, it's not like I have a mirror watching myself"
"It can be arranged at my house", he hinted.
"Trust me, I know. I've never been so nervous. I mean I've been out there before, but I guess this is more than I expected".
"Just relax, you've addressed an audience before, it's no different".
She grinned at him. He stood up, walking over to her, and hugging from behind.
"Ms. Harris, you've got five minutes", the stagehand told her.
"Here we go", she said following the stagehand.
She picked up her belt, and he picked up his. Walking hand and hand, Paul, Stephanie, and Randy watched from afar.
"Our new super couple", Stephanie grinned.
"I gotta give it to Vince, I would say better than the McMahon-Helmsley era", Randy said.
"It's a travesty, a beautiful woman wasted on a mid card show".
"Don't be jealous, remember, you ended it", Randy warned.
"Not jealous, just counting the days", Paul smirked.
Paul left, and Randy and Steph looked confused to what he was referring to.
Emylee's music blared and she and Dave walked out. He twirled her around, and the crowd went wild again. The couple walked to the ring, and Emylee kept glancing at Dave, trying to be as calm as he was, but it was hard. He held the ropes open for her.
"King, the champ looks very happy".
"I would too, if I had Emylee on my arm too".
"Not for long, she's on Smackdown".
"It's a shame, considering they look very close".
Taking the mic, she began to speak".
"Well, as you see, and for everyone who didn't see the pay per view last night, I'm the new and first Smackdown Diva Champion. I had to, I had to get into the match. I felt as if there was no class on that show. That the divas on that show had no standard to live up to. I will show them all, that I am the ultimate diva, and that are division could and can if needed, give the womens division a run for there money".
She paused as the crowd chanted 'Emylee'.
She grinned and continued, "With that, I'll be leaving Raw as of tonight. I'll miss everyone here, and the crowds that Raw entertains".
She turns to Dave, and takes a breath.
"I'll miss you, especially. I mean we became good friends over Evolution, and after the break up of the group. This last week was interesting to say the least", she grinned, and continued, "Dave you taught me everything I know in and out the ring".
"J.R., what does that mean?"
"Are you that naïve king?"
She handed Dave the mic.
"Well Emylee, I knew you had it in you. I really need to tell you something, and it's been on my mind for a while".
Then the crowd chanted 'BATISTA'.
Both trying to stay in character, it was written for Dave to confess to her about wanting more than a professional relationship, and then kissing her. Instead, he just went in for the kill. The crowd went ballistic, as the two made out in the ring. He broke the kiss, and she just looked at him.
"It's too bad, you're leaving, but you know, I honestly think we'll cross paths again. Good luck over there though", he grinned.
She bowed to the audience, and held her belt high, as she got the cheers from the audience. She made her exit, waving, and tagging fans hands. Dave watched, knowing it would be two weeks after the barbecue before he'd share the bed with her again, but when they did, eh was going to surprise her like she never been surprised before.
