"Ugg," Maria said. I laughed at her. "Why do I have to work with him again?" She was referring to Anthony, or as you guys know him, Santino Marella. Maria and he didn't get along really well, and she almost barfed when he gave her that kiss last week on RAW. Now Ashley and I make fun of her for the kiss.
"Just think of it," I started, pulling on my black shirt with 'Black Angel' written in golden letters. "Maybe soon you'll get with another guy. Maybe they'll put you in another angle with John." Maria sorta had a crush on John but he was engaged to a very nice blonde woman, whose name I forget at the moment. I had only met her once.
"They probably won't. John will make sure his girlfriend wouldn't ever get jealous." Maria sighed. I put a comforting hand on her shoulder and she smiled back.
"You'll find a guy. I'm sure of it."
"That's easy for you to say." Maria leaned against the wall. "You have two guys after you and you like them both."
"Jeff doesn't like me. He's just flirting." I tell her, leaning next to her.
She snorts and shakes her head. "You keep telling yourself that."
"And besides, it isn't two guys; it's three." I pointed to the necklace that was around my neck. I loved the thing and I only took it off when I wrestled or when I took a shower. As soon as I was done with both, the necklace immediately went back on.
"Yeah, you're right," Maria smiled. The door opened and Ashley came in, carrying a small box. Maria and I look at her confused.
"What's that?" I ask her as she sets it down. She smiles at me and hands me a card.
"I didn't read it," she assures me. I smile back and take the card. I sit on the couch and Maria turns the volume down on the television. We were watching Law and Order on the USA channel before RAW came on, which was more than a half-hour away.
"I have to read it quick because I have to see Jeff." I tell them, opening the card. They share a knowing smile and I flick them off, reading the inside of the card.
"Well?" Maria asks.
"Read it out loud." Ashley demanded. Sometimes I was glad that the women's locker room was almost always empty before RAW came on. The girls were always visiting with the guys or their boyfriends.
"It says: 'Ivy, congratulations on your return. I loved the outfit that you wore. It matched you attitude exactly. I see that you love my necklace. I'm glad. It took me a long time to find the one perfect for you. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the gift I got you. When I saw it, I thought it was just you. Love, your secret admirer,'" I finished.
I smiled and picked up the box. I opened it and gasped at what was inside. It was a dress made of black, purple and gold colors. It was just like my room. If I put it on, it would come to my knees and flair out. The top part had one strap and the other was a sleeve that was loose and flared out also.
"Dang, this guy has good taste," Ashley said. Maria nodded, agreeing with her.
"I can't wait to meet this guy. I have so much to thank him for." I sighed. This guy was so sweet and I had no idea who it was so I could thank him.
"Well, enough about this. I need to go see Jeff." I go up and carefully folded the dress and put it and the card in the box. I put it near my bag and gave my friends hug before I went to see Jeff.
"Ivy!" Jeff pulled me into a hug when I knocked on his locker room. I hugged him back and he pulled me into his lap on the couch. "I can't wait until tonight. As soon as were done with RAW we get to go home!" I laughed as he leaned his head back and threw his hands in the air.
"You mean your home." I giggled as he put his hands on my waist. He smiled.
"Me casa, is your casa, or some s--t like that." Jeff laughed. "I don't speak Spanish so I don't know what the hell anything besides that means."
"And what does it mean?" I asked him, lightly running my fingers over his vine tattoo on his right arm. Jeff looked thoughtful for a second and then smiled again.
"My home is your home." He stated proudly. I smiled at him. He was being extra cute today, maybe because he was going to see his brother and father after a long time.
"Very good, my pet," I patted his head and leaned into him. He tightened his arms around me and I closed my eyes, feeling safe once again.
"I'm so glad that you are going to be winning your match." I tell him, putting my arms around Jeff's neck.
"I am too. I hope I win the Money in the Bank match." He runs his fingers through my hair.
"I'm sure you will. It's you time, even though John takes up most of it." Jeff pulls me back and gives me a smile. I look at the clock and see that there is only fifteen minutes left until RAW comes on.
"I'll let you go get changed." I said as I pointed to the clock. He nodded and kissed my cheek. I got up and waved to him before I went to find Maria. Maria, Anthony, Candice and I were going to be going on RAW tonight.
"Grr…" I heard as someone jumped on my back. I squealed and fell into Paul London. He laughed and held me up. I turned to see a smiling Brian Kendrick trying hard not to laugh.
"I hate you." I glared playfully at him. He laughed, causing Paul to laugh harder and fall on to the ground. I fell with him and soon we were just a huge pile of laughing crazy people.
"What's going on?" Ashley asked as she looked down at us. We just laughed harder and I buried my face into Brian's shoulder, trying to stop laughing. Ashley shook her head and bent down to kiss Paul. That shut him up and he pulled her down with us. Brian made a sound of disgust and pulled himself away, dragging me up with him.
"That's nasty." He said, crinkling his nose as Paul and Ashley started making out on the floor. I laughed and dragged him along to the catering room. I was sure to find Maria there. And sure enough, there she was, sitting with Anthony. Brian put his arm around my shoulder and made a motion to where John and Randy were getting water with Paul. I made a sound of protest and quickly turned the other way. Brian sighed and brought me over to where Maria was sitting.
"Ivy!" Maria looked relieved. I smiled and gave her a hug. Brian pulled me into his lap sitting on the chair next to Maria.
"What are you doing?" I whispered in his ear.
"I making it look like your busy so Randy won't come over here." He informed me.
"And you plan to do that by making me sit on your lap?" I questioned his actions.
"Yes," Brian smiled proudly. I shook my head but made no movement to get off of him. I really didn't want Randy to be near me. Well, not until I'm ready to talk to him.
The next hour Brian, Maria, and I (We ditched Anthony) walked around the arena, talking and messing around. Soon we arrived at the gorilla position and Brian gave ma and Maria hugs before going off in search of Paul.
"Do you think Brian could be your secret admirer?" Maria whispered to me, not wanting Anthony and Candice to hear.
"I don't know, but we can certainly add him to our list." I tell her softly. She nods and leans against the wall. I lean next to her and we watch as Mr. McMahon, and JBL come backstage. Candice immediately goes up and starts to sweet talk our boss. Maria buried her head in my shoulder, trying to stop from laughing. I cover my mouth and shake my head. Mr. McMahon gently pushes Candice away and heads over to Maria and me.
"I'm very impressed with you ladies. Maria, you seem to get better every week, and Ivy, your kiss with Jeff last night really seemed spark up your relationship on-screen and the fans loved it," Mr. McMahon smiles. "And I can't wait to see you wrestle. I've heard that you have been trained a few new moves?" He asks me.
I nod. "Jeff, Randy, and Shawn have taught me a lot of new things." I smile back. I was really flattered that he actually took the time to make his complements personal.
Mr. McMahon says goodbye to Maria and I and leaves with JBL. After a few minutes, Finlay comes back, carrying Hornswoggle. He smiles slightly at us and then goes off. I look at the screen and see that they are bringing up the cage and were fixing things up for the match. When the commercial was over with, Anthony's music came on and he held a microphone in one hand, and Maria's hand in the other.
I sat down and went into my own little world. I didn't notice when Candice went out, but then when I saw the match starting I kept my eyes open for my cue. Candice dominated most of the match but when Santino slapped his hands on the canvas I stood up and ran outside. I walked quickly down the ramp, yelling to Candice as the fans screamed. I smiled as Candice yelled at me. I just laughed as Maria rolled Candice for the win.
Maria jumped up and down and got out of the ring. I gave her a big hug and held her hand up in victory. "Maria's gonna pose in Playboy!" I yelled out to the crowd as Santino came over to us. He glared at me but I just smiled and waved. Maria hugged me again and we both jumped up and down. We started laughing and I held her hand up again.
We looked up at the ring to see Candice in the ring glaring at us and pacing the ring, holding her title. Maria smiled and ran her hand over my waist. "She's going to get that title, Candice. You better watch out!" Maria yelled to the woman's champion. Candice just shook her head and yelled at us. I laughed and tuned her out as Maria, Santino and I walked backstage. Maria gave me another hug and we laughed.
"That was so much fun." Maria said breathlessly. I nodded and we hooked arms, going off to the women's locker room. After we changed and the show was over, we walked out, only to see a person leaning against the wall, fresh from his match.
"Randy…" I motioned to Maria to go on with out me. She nodded and gave me a hug before disappearing down the hallway. Randy walked over to me, his eyes low.
"Ivy, I'm so sorry." He started but I cut him off.
"I know you're sorry. I just want to know if you are going to do something like that again." I tell him. He looks in my eyes and nods.
"I was just so caught up… You know it was being Valentines Day and all… I thought you were okay with it." Randy sighs. I nod.
"I guess I might have led you on." I say.
"Does this mean you forgive me?" Randy asks, hope in his eyes. I smile and run my hands through my hair.
"Yes." I say after a moment's hesitation. He smiles and picks me up in a hug. He kisses me and I let him. The burning comes back, as full as ever. I run my fingers through his short hair as Randy slides his tongue into my mouth. We stop as soon as we hear giggling.
I look over Randy's shoulder to see Melina, Mickie, and Beth snickering at us. "Making out in the hallway?" Melina laughed. I get out of Randy's embrace and softly hit her arm. She pulls me into a hug and Mickie and Beth follow her actions. They walk down the hallway, and I turn to Randy. He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I have a confession to make." He said. I looked at him confused and he smiled. "I was the one who sent you the dress today."
My face lights up. I have finally found the secret admirer. I kiss him, long and hard. "Thank you, for the dress and the necklace."
It was Randy's turn to look confused. "What necklace?" He asked. I held up the necklace. "I didn't send you a necklace; only the dress."
I nodded. "Forget it then." I tell him, trying not to let my disappointment show. I guess I had to find out who my real secret admirer is. I said goodbye to Randy and went to the parking lot, where Ken would take Jeff and me to the airport and then my brother would spend time with his girl-friend. I smiled as I neared the car. Jeff was talking to my brother, smiling with that gorgeous smile of his.
"Guess what!" I yelled to them. They turned to me and Jeff raised an eyebrow.
"What?" my brother asked, giving me a hug.
"Randy and I talked thing out and we decided to get back together." I bit my lip, wondering how they would take it. Jeff's smile dropped and he sighed.
"He better not hurt you again or I swear that I will make sure that he will never see the light of day again." Jeff got into the car, slamming the door. I looked at my brother who shrugged and took my things and put them in the trunk with Jeff's and my other stuff.
"Don't worry about him. He'll get over it." Ken smiled at me. "Who you date is only up to you, not to me or anyone else." He assured me. I sighed and got into the backseat of the car. Jeff had his earphones on and I could hear his music loud and clear. It was none other than his favorite band, Pearl Jam. I fiddled with my necklace as Ken started the car and went in the direction of the airport. I saw Jeff's eyes flicker to me in the rear-view mirror and look at my necklace. His eyes widened slightly but when he saw me looking at him, he quickly turned his head to the window.
I blinked away my tears and looked out the window. Everything was silent expect the music coming form Jeff's earphones. Soon Ken pulled up in the airport parking lot and I quickly got out of the car. Ken turned the car off and popped open the trunk. I grabbed my things and Ken helped me. I ignored Jeff as I knew he wanted some time to cool off.
I said goodbye to Ken and Jeff and I went though all the things at the airport. I don't fell like going through all those things; they're pretty boring. Soon I was sitting on the seat near the window and Jeff sat next to me. I grabbed my book, Blue Bloods, and sat back, getting caught up in the story. I didn't want to fall asleep. I might fall asleep on Jeff's shoulder and I don't think that he would like that right now.
"Ivy," Jeff's soft voice brought my attention to him. "I'm sorry that I got mad at you. I had no right. You are allowed to date who ever you want to." He put his hand on my jean covered knee. I smiled and leaned my head on my shoulder.
"I forgive you." I yawned and put away my book. "You don't mind if I use you as a pillow, do you?" I asked him.
Jeff chuckled. "I don't mind." He told me. I smiled and moved up the arm rest. I grabbed a blanket I had brought along and tucked it around us. Jeff put his arm around me and I snuggled up to him. I sighed as I fell asleep, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
