A/N - Hey all, I hope you've had a great week! Here's the next chapter...
Haley woke up around 4:30am and snuck out of bed to get changed into pyjama shorts and a singlet before crawling back into bed. It was around 8 that Jon woke up from Haley kicking him in the shin but he didn't wake her, he only began stroking her arms until she woke up on her own.
"Hey" Jon smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Hey" Haley groaned then yawned.
"What time did you get up this morning? I'm sure it was around 4" Jon said.
"I dunno. I wasn't really paying attention, I just had to get out of that dress. It was too itchy" Haley replied. She sighed as she watched Jon's hand run up and down her forearm.
"Did you wanna go get breakfast?" Jon asked. Haley looked up and him.
"I would, but I told the girls that I'd spend the day with them" Haley replied.
"But it's only breakfast" Jon sighed.
"You have a signing to get to anyways and it starts in just over an hour" Haley reminded him. Jon groaned and then sat up in turn making Haley sit up. "Hey, where are you going?" Haley asked. Jon was halfway to the door when he stopped and turned with a smirk on his face.
"Going to the bathroom to have a shower and get ready for the signing" Jon told her. Haley got out of bed and walked over to her suitcase to decide what she was going to wear for the day, finally deciding on a pair of skinny jeans, converse sneakers and a blue tank top with her Shield hoodie. She picked up the outfit and walked to the bathroom and joined Jon in the shower.
"Hey you two, hurry up" Colby said after knocking on the bathroom door. The sound of running water had stopped about five minutes ago and currently the sound of a hair dryer was replacing it.
"Be out in a minute" Jon called out after spitting out his mouthful of toothpaste. Haley pulled her hair into a ponytail and brushed the bangs out of her eyes before putting on some lip gloss. Haley walked out of the bathroom after Jon and threw her pyjamas on the bed then walked into the main room where Colby, Joe, Celeste and Layla were sitting on the couch waiting for them.
"Finally. We gotta go" Colby said and waited for Layla to get off his lap so he could stand.
"Have fun with the girls" Jon smiled and kissed Haley before leaving with the guys. Haley turned to her friends.
"We ready?" she asked. They nodded and walked out the door together, heading for the mall to have a shopping day. When they got there they went straight for the closest store and began trying on any clothes that they liked. Haley picked up a top hat and took a photo for Instagram while the other girls tried on fuzzy bunny ears and a pirate hat.
The Shield arrived at the mall a few minutes before the girls and were escorted by security to where they needed to be and they sat down ready for the signing. The lines were what seemed like miles long and they all screamed when the three men sat down. The first few people came up to the stage and handed the items that they wanted to be signed.
"Where's Faye? She's part of the Shield right?" one boy asked. Jon looked up with a smile at his girlfriend's persona.
"Yeah, but she's out with her friends today. Her signing is at Extreme Rules before the Pre-Show" Jon told the kid. They all put their fists out for a photo with the kid and his sister and then waited for the next few people. The next lot was a young woman.
"I was kind of hoping Faye was here, she inspired me to be a wrestler and I'm going through training at the moment" the woman said to Joe. He smiled.
"Congratulations, maybe we'll see you on the main roster one day. Good luck" Joe told her. The woman nodded in acknowledgement and walked to Colby.
"How long have you been training? Have you had your first match yet?" Colby asked as he signed the poster of the four members of the Shield. The woman shook her head.
"No match yet, I've only been training for about four weeks. I'm so sore all the time" she replied.
"Get used to it. We're all tired and sore all the time" Jon warned. The woman nodded.
"Thank you so much for all this" the woman smiled and got her photo taken with the guys.
Extreme Rules (Before the Show)
Haley finished up her signing and walked to the ring where Brie, Nikki, Nattie, Celeste and Layla were wrestling and joined in to make it a fair 3-on-3 match. The girls tangled up but Nattie got the pin on Brie then helped her to her feet.
"Gotcha Brie" Nattie smiled. The girls all got into the ring and Haley showed them all her new finisher that she called the Fake Out which was an inverted overdrive. The girls watched as Haley performed to move on Layla who sold the move perfectly.
"Nice move" Nikki smiled.
"I was sick of only using the Batista Bomb all the time, figured it was time for a change" Haley told them. They turned when they heard clapping and saw Phil at ringside.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You should show more force when you're in the ring though or the crowd won't buy it" he told Haley who nodded.
"Wanna practice? You and me, one-on-one" Haley asked. Phil got into the ring just as the Shield guys came down the ramp. Haley and Phil circled in the ring and then when Phil attempted to lock up but Haley ducked under him and gave him a dropkick. Phil turned and swatted Haley away when she went for a second.
"Not that easy Hales" Phil chuckled. Haley got back to her feet and smiled.
"Come on Philly, you gotta go easy on me. I'm just a girl" Haley put on the innocent act and batted her eyelashes. Phil chuckled again along with everyone who was gathered at ringside which now included Cody Rhodes, AJ, Kofi Kingston, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, The Miz and Cesaro.
"You're not fooling me" Phil told her then gave her a hip toss when she lunged at him.
"You suck" Haley grumbled, scrunching up her nose. Phil turned to the people at ringside and shrugged but when he turned again Haley got him in the octopus stretch submission which AJ called the Black Widow.
"Come on Hales" April called out. Haley glanced over at the Jersey girl and smiled, pulling tighter on the submission.
"Tap Philly" Haley shouted. Phil threw her off after a few attempts and Haley quickly got back to her feet and performer her new finisher on Phil before pinning him.
"1, 2, 3. Haley wins!" Cody declared. Haley did a little dance in the ring and then laughed at Phil.
"You got beat by a girl" she laughed. Phil got to his feet and shook his head.
"I was going easy on you" he claimed. Haley got out of the ring and nearly jumped out of her skin when someone hugged her from behind.
"Hey beautiful" Jon whispered in her ear, giving her goosebumps.
"Hey handsome" Haley turned in his arms and kissed his cheek.
"New finisher?" he asked.
"The Fake Out" Haley told him with a smile. "To take any bigger opponents down" she explained.
"What, don't have the muscles to lift up the girls?" Jon teased. Haley scrunched up her nose and shook her head.
"If I'm in the Shield then when you attack people I'll be getting involved somehow and I just don't wanna seem weak" Haley said. Jon nodded.
"When are you debuting the move?" he asked.
"Tonight when I win the title" she replied. Everyone around ringside was soon asked to go backstage to get ready for the show and Haley was super excited.
"How long has it been since you won the title last?" Brie asked looking past Jon to asked her friend.
"About 18months. You really have to kick some ass and be on top of your game to get that freaking title" Haley sighed.
