Chapter 21: Number One Contender
~Kaylee Blake~
It was Raw and I was honestly dreading it a little bit. I wasn't looking forward to the match tonight it was Brie Vs AJ Lee for the number one contender for my championship and I was hoping it was AJ but who knew what was going to happen.
I am also now Summer's permanent roommate. I enjoyed staying with her. We have made a schedule I even travelled with her to some of the live house shows. I went between travelling with her and Dean. It was only last week when Roman and Seth lost the Tag titles to the Rhodes Brothers. They had a match against The Uso's tonight. I had a Tag match tonight. It was me and Summer Rea against Natalya and Emma. I was looking forward to it. I haven't wrestled on Raw in awhile so it was going to do my best to make it the best match I could tonight.
"Kaylee, I was wondering if we could talk" I saw Mark Carrano he waved me to the room he was standing next to. I walked over and entered the room. I saw Summer Rae sitting there she smiled when she saw me I sat down next to her and Mark sat across from us.
"Neither of you did anything wrong but we have noticed how close you two have become over the last week. Now I know you are busy with your storyline with AJ and Brie. This is about Total Diva's I know Kaylee that you don't want to be a main focus point in the show. I have to say that we aren't going to do that. You will be advertised as a star of the show for this season only." Mark said.
"So what does that have to do with me?" Summer asked him.
"Well you two are good friends and we want that to be shown on the show. We want you to stay sticking together." He said.
"Yeah but I mean I sometimes travel with the Shield so how does that work" I say to him.
"You won't be you will travelling with Summer for awhile" he said, I frowned. So this was going to take away from my time with Dean. I didn't know if I liked it but it was my job. I was hoping it wouldn't last and I would be able to travel with Dean and the guys at some point.
"She doesn't have to be with me all the time I mean even I would get tired of me. She should be able to travel with her boyfriend if she wants. It's only natural" Summer said I smiled at her in thanks.
"I know but for the first part of the season the two of you will be travelling together. It won't be too bad. You will see your boyfriend here at the show and other times don't worry" he said to me.
"Yeah, thanks is there is anything else you wanted to talk about" I asked him.
"Now if there is any changes I will come and find you" he said I stood up and walked out with Summer right behind me.
"I can't believe he did that" I say to her.
"What you don't want to travel with me. I thought we had fun last week" She asked me.
"That's not it. I had fun with you but we should be able to travel with who we want to" I say to her as we walked back to the locker room to get changed for our match tonight.
"Yeah I know but we can make the most of it. Singing along to the radio and talking about boys" She said.
"There is only one man Kaylee would talk about" Brie said as we passed her and Nikki.
"That is true twin" Nikki said I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah well I don't always talk about him" I say to her.
"You are always thinking about him" Brie said.
"You always talk about you and Bryan" I say to her laughing.
"You guys are making me feel left out since I am the only one here who doesn't have anybody" Summer said.
"You will find somebody sometime we all did. Kaylee did and we thought she was a hopeless case." Nikki said. I smacked her arm and she flinched.
"You two are the ones who pushed me towards Dean" I say to her.
"Yeah and you haven't said thank you yet" Nikki said to me.
"I don't have too" I say to her she frowns. "I will one day maybe" I say to her.
"Good luck tonight in your guys match" Brie said changing the subject.
"Thanks you too." I say to her. "Tonight decides whether either you or AJ come after my Championship" I say to her.
"I will win and I will win that on Sunday" she said to me.
"Okay have fun with that dream" I say to her. "See you later I have to go and get ready" I say to her. Summer hooks arms with me and we head to the locker room.
We walk in and I go to my stuff. I notice that there is bouquet of purple roses laying on my bag. I pick them up and note falls on the floor. I pick it up and read it.
"Have a great night, I will be cheering you on" There wasn't a name so I didn't know who they were from.
"Pretty flowers do you know who they are from" Summer asked as she was putting on her top from her gear.
"I don't know they were just here" I say to her. I really didn't know who had sent me the flowers and I really didn't want to know I would ask Dean later if it was him. I set the flowers down and pull out my gear. I changed and put on my boots.
I was walking around the arena wondering where the flowers had come from. I left them in the locker room and went to hair and makeup. Afterwards I started to walk around the arena. I was freaked out about the flowers that showed up in the locker room. I knew it wasn't Dean I had thought about it and figure he wouldn't leave a note like that.
I just wished they left a name. I wanted to know who they were from.
"Kaylee" I stopped when I hear the deep voice of Randy Orton in front of me.
"Randy, what are you doing here" I asked him.
"Just to wish you luck in your match tonight. I will be watching and Cheering you on" He said to me. He touched my shoulder in way that made me feel uncomfortable. I pulled away from his touch and backed up.
"Thanks" I say to him I maneuver around him and walked down and turned the corner. Could Randy have sent the flowers to the locker room? I knew he had feelings for me but would he go that far knowing I am dating Dean. I didn't think so. There could be only one other person that could have done that. I had feeling I would know by the end of the night. I thought it best if I didn't tell Dean right away tonight.
He was right now in his match against Daniel Bryan. I pulled away from the wall I was leaning against and decided to go and find Brie. I knew she was watching the match so I thought I would join her. I was going to keep the whole thing with the flowers to myself for now the only one who knew anything was Summer and I knew she wouldn't say anything. Why would he want to do this why could Ian just leave me alone and let go. I am so much happier. Happier than I ever was when I was with him. I didn't feel the way I do with Dean. Dean was someone who wanted to be there for me when I needed him. Ian was never that way. I couldn't tell him anything because he wouldn't let me. I knew what he was feeling but I could never talk about what I wanted it.
Dean let me talk and he was the first person I told my past too. My life growing up with an Alcoholic father who did nothing but tell me I was worthless and I wouldn't amount to much in my life. I have had nothing but Mental and Verbal abuse from both my father and Ian. Always putting me down and I always proved him wrong. I always showed them that I was better then what they said I was. There were some things I never told Dean. I would one day I just wasn't ready for him to know that he knew a lot already.
He would know everything just not now. Not even Ian knew everything about me nobody did really. I liked it that way I felt if anybody knew everything they would run away. I am happy for now but who knows what will happen. I was happy at one point with Ian but look at how that turned out. I found out I wasn't the only one in his life that I was the only one that he controlled.
He never liked my career choice. He didn't like that I was working with so many other men. That my gear showed off so much of my skin. He thought that it was a stupid sport. He was never shy on his feelings for what I did to bring in income. I always told him he had nothing to worry about but he would never believe me. I almost didn't sign with WWE because of him. I did it anyways. It wasn't his dream to get where I am right now. It was mine. Wrestling saved my life in reality. It took away all the terrible feeling I had. It made me feel like I had something to do with my life. Other than what my father did for a living. Sitting at home and getting drunk.
Brie and Dean have been the biggest to supports in my life and I will never be able to pay them back in a million lifetimes. Brie really is my best friend and she is the sister I never had.
"Kaylee my man beat yours" Brie said when I approached her. I smiled at her.
"I had a feeling when I saw the smile on your face." I say to her.
"It was a great match though. It will be the best of the night besides ours of course" She said to me. I laughed.
"You're right on that" I say to him. Bryan and Dean both came backstage and walked over to their designated women. Dean wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
"Did you watch" he asked me.
"No I am sorry I was getting ready for the night." I say to him. I looked over at Brie and saw she was in the middle of kiss with Bryan. I smiled at her. Dean took his hand and made me look at him. He dipped down and our lips met in a kiss. I smiled in the kiss. I turned around so I could deepen it. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I had to stand on my tippy toes just to reach him.
"You taste so good" he murmured against my lips.
"So do you" I say to him, he smiled and pulled away. Bryan was now standing in front of us.
"Good match man" Bryan said offering Dean his hand which Dean shook.
"Thanks you too" Dean said I smiled at this. Dean was a good man I knew he didn't like losing but he was handing this well. Last week had been one of the Shields bad weeks. I never knew what kind of mood they would be in after they lost a match. I watched as Brie and Bryan walked away most likely to spend some time together before she went out to her match.
"So I spoke to Mark Carrano and he told me that I have to travel with Summer for awhile" I say to him. "Meaning that I won't be travelling with you or the guys for awhile" I say to him.
"Really well that's bummer when do you have to start that" He asked as we walked.
"He didn't say but it's only for the first half of the season considering that I am contracted to only be in this season. It won't be so bad we can still share a room sometimes I promise" I say to him Dean smiled and swooped down and met me into another kiss.
"Good I don't think I could handle too much time away from you" he said to me.
I was sitting next to JBL as Brie Bella was walking down the ramp for her match against AJ. Nikki was walking beside her in matching ring attire.
"Welcome Kaylee" John said I smiled and said nothing. "So this Sunday you will face either Brie Bella or AJ Lee for you the Diva's Championship. You have faced both of these girls on multiple occasions are you ready for Hell in a Cell" John asked me. I smiled and looked him.
"I am more than ready and everybody here knows I want AJ but I would be fine with Brie. I will go through anybody to get to AJ. She betrayed me a few weeks ago and that hurt. We were friends and she stabbed me in the back. She is not going to get away from me" I say to him.
"We all know that. So do you care to explain the attack on her last week" Michael Cole asked me. I smiled and nodded. I watched now as AJ skipped down to the ring with Tamina following behind her.
"I only did what she did to me. She stabbed me in the back when she came after me the way she did. I returned the favor. She thinks that I stole this from her when in reality I won this Championship fair and square. I earned my way up the roster. I did the same thing she would have done if she was me. She made this personal when she attacked me after I won this and again a few weeks ago." I say to him.
"Well I guess you feel you got some retribution than" he asked I nodded.
"I will this Sunday if she wins this match" I say to him.
I watched now as Brie and AJ locked up in the middle of the ring. They pulled apart and Brie kicked AJ down with a drop kick. AJ got up and Brie hit her with a clothesline. Brie was on the attack against AJ. Every Diva wanted a chance at the Diva's Championship. It was every Diva's dream. It was mine and now I have to do what it takes to keep as mine for as long as possible.
AJ pulled countered and hit Brie with a Hurricanrana. She went for the pin but Brie kicked out at two.
"We all know who you want to win but would you be okay with facing Brie in the ring for the Diva's Championship" Jerry asked me.
"It wouldn't affect me at all. Brie is good in the ring and she would be a great opponent" I say to him. Brie countered and was on the top rope. She was getting ready for the missile dropkick. She hit it and went for the pin but AJ kicked out. Brie screamed out in frustration and set AJ up for the face buster but she countered and put Brie in her submission move The Black Widow. Brie tried to fight it but she ended up tapping out.
"Looks like you got the opponent you wanted at Hell in a Cell" John said I smiled and stood up. Removing the headset I walked over to the edge of the ring and held the belt up in the air. I walked around and up the ramp facing her so that she didn't attack me from behind again.
I got back stage and I was faced with the smile of Dean. "You were awesome out there on commentary" He said kissing me lightly on the lips.
"I haven't even had my match yet" I say to him.
"You will shine again" he said to me, I kissed him again he smiled into it.
"How is your arm" I asked him. I could tell he was favoring it a bit.
"Fine I will be okay, nothing I can't handle" he said. Bryan had worked on that arm a lot and I was worried about Dean.
"You sure" I asked him.
"I am going to be okay don't worry" he said to me. He took my hand and we walked back to the Shields locker room. It was a short walk but it was nice that Dean had been waiting for me after I was out there. He wouldn't be able to when my match came up later tonight. It was before the tag match between Roman and Seth and The Uso's.
"Kaylee you have got to be the in between heel and face there is" Seth said as Dean and I walked in the room.
"Thank you Seth" I say to him. I set down and watch the match that came after I was out there. Truth was I wasn't really a heel but I was now being viewed as one. At Hell in a Cell it was going to be two Heels against each other.
"Kaylee you have a visitor outside the door" Roman said opening it farther. It was AJ standing there. She was holding her torso from all the kicks she had taken from Brie.
"I am hoping we could talk" She said to me. I nodded and left my Championship belt with Seth.
"I am sorry I made this personal" AJ said to me. "Phil talked to me yesterday and he told me that I may have deserved what I got last week for attacking somebody that I trusted here the most besides him and Kaitlyn. He gave me the talk saying that I have been taking this too seriously and I know that you would intentionally do what you did it was part of the job" She said to me. I was warily with her words because the last time I trusted her she attacked me from behind.
"I get that so what is Punk the peace maker" I asked. "We have been down this road before AJ and you attacked me from behind" I told her she looked down.
"I know that. I guess I was just angry that you have the Championship. I realize that it looks good on you and I wouldn't have lost it to anybody else. You really do deserve to be here. I am sorry it took me so long to realize that" She said to me.
"I don't know if can forgive you for that. I thought we were friends, you were one of my closest friends" I say to her.
"I know that too, honestly Punk did this because he was tired of listening to me complain about how much I missed hanging out with you and traveling together. Even talking to you about everything and anything at all" She said to me. "I really missed you Kaylee" She told me. She gave me the sad puppy dog eyes that she used to do. I knew she meant it when she gave me those eyes.
"Just admit you were jealous because I was spending all my time with the Bella Twins and not you" I say to her. "And then I will think about forgiving you" I say to her.
"You are right actually. I am jealous but I am happy that you are dating again." She said to me. She opened her arms waiting for me to hug her. I thought about it for a minute. "C'mon Kay I know you want to forgive me. I know you miss me too. I promise to keep storylines out of our friendship. I really want to hang out with you again" she said to me.
"Fine, but you are friendship probation I will be watching you" I say to her she smiles and launches herself at me in a hug. Her arms wrap around my neck while her legs wrap around my waist. She always knew how to hug a person. I laughed and hugged her back. "This is just a trial till I can trust you Cray-J" I say to her using her nickname.
"You got it" She said jumping down. "So what have I missed in the life of Kaylee Blake" She said to me. I smiled and started to explain to her what had happened while she had been out of my life the last month and half.
Summer Rae used her long legs and kicked Nattie down and went for the pin only to have Nattie kick out at one. She pulled Nattie to out corner and she tagged me in. I kept Nattie in the corner and hit her with a series of elbows to the face. I moved a foot away and pressed my foot against her throat. The Referee counted to five and I moved away. I ran at her but she moved and I connected with the post with my shoulder. She pulled me away and went to put me in the Sharpshooter but I used my free foot and pushed her away. She went and tagged in Emma. I tagged Summer Rae back in while I regrouped for a minute.
Summer had the control over Emma. She had Emma pretty much to the point of being pinned so she came over to me after knocking Nattie down off the apron. I grabbed Emma and set her up for my finisher the Pedigree. I hit it and went for the pin.
I heard the final slap on the canvas and I jumped up. Summer Rae tackled me in a hug. The referee held our hands up in the air. He pulled away and this time I hugged Summer. We won our match tonight. I just hoped Roman and Seth had the same luck tonight. I was handed my Championship and I exited the ring when I heard the music for AJ.
I stopped and saw that she was standing there with a Mic. This was scripted so I knew she wasn't here to hurt me because of her personal issues.
"Great win Kaylee, really I congradulate you and the paper Barbie next to you. Is this what you have turned into Kay. You used to be the most dominate Diva on the NXT Roster. Then you took my Championship away from me. You took my baby. I won't let you walk out of Hell in a Cell with it. I will take what is mine back and there is nothing you or your paper Barbie friend can do about that" She said throwing down the microphone.
"Well AJ sure had some words to share with the Diva's Champion Kaylee Blake" Michael Cole said. I walked up the ramp with Summer. She had her arm wrapped around my shoulders as we made our way backstage. AJ was there waiting for me. She tackled me in a hug, I hugged her back I couldn't tell you how happy I was that I had her back. It would just take awhile to fully trust her but I would rather fight her in the ring than outside it.
"You did great." She said, I smiled and pulled away from her. I noticed that Summer had disappeared.
"I have to go and see the Shield before they go out, I will see you later" I say to her. She nods and goes to find her man.
I walked down the corridors till I saw the Shield they were about to go so they could out for their match against The Uso's.
Dean had his back to me I ran and jumped up on his back. Wrapping my arms and legs around him tightly he stumbled forward before his hands grabbed under my legs so I didn't fall. "Hey" I say to him.
"Hey, great match tonight" he said to me. I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Thanks, I just came to wish Seth and Roman luck for their match tonight" I say to him.
"Thanks Kaylee" Roman said I smiled at him. "You should probably let your boyfriend go we have to get out there soon" Roman said I frowned and reluctantly let him go.
Dean turned and quickly kissed my lips before he headed with his teammates. I turned around headed to the locker room. I pushed open the door and found it empty. I walked over to my bag and pulled out my phone. I pressed the button and I saw that I text messages and an email. I unlocked my phone and opened my texts. They were from an unknown number.
I opened the message and saw that there was a picture of me during my match a few minutes ago. I strolled down and saw that the message a name attached at the bottom. Ian Walsh.
I opened the next message. "You looked great I hope you enjoyed the flowers I gave you" I dropped my phone and backed away from it. I had changed my number so he couldn't contact me at all. How in the world did he get my number? I picked up my phone and opened the next text. It was more from him.
I blocked the number and picked up the flowers I saw the trash can and threw them in it. I couldn't believe he was stalking me now. I didn't know why he could just leave me alone. He was here tonight watching me right now he was watching the guys.
I went back to my bag and went to change. I pulled out the t-shirt I was wearing earlier and put it on after pulling off my attire top off. I pulled down the shorts and pulled on the black skinny's I was wearing. I put on my Chuck Taylors and decided to go to the Shields Locker room to watch the remainder of the match. I slid on my leather jacket and headed out the door to their locker room.
I made my way through the halls and found the door labeled with their name. I pushed open the door and sat down on the couch in the room. I turned on the TV and watch as the guys battled it out with the Uso's and the Rhodes brothers. It turned into a big fight outside and in the ring. The Shield could never have a clean match sometimes. It turned into a six man tag team match at Hell in a Cell for the Tag team Championship
I turned the TV off and pulled my feet up on the couch. I never felt so uncomfortable before in my life knowing that Ian was here and he was watching me. I knew it was a free country and he could come here if he wanted but I knew that he didn't like Wrestling so I didn't know why he was here other than to harass me. I put my head on my knees.
"Well at least we have a shot at the titles" I heard Roman say outside the door. It opened and all of them walked in. I looked over and looked at Dean. I don't know how but he knew there was something wrong. He nodded his head to towards the door and I stood up and followed him with my phone in my hand. I had to tell Dean no matter how angry he got about it.
"What is it Kaylee" He asked me. I pulled out my phone and pulled up the photo and the other text messages. I hand it to him and I could see his left hand clench. "When did he send this" He asked me.
"A few minutes after my match" I say to him. "He sent me flowers but I threw them away. He is stalking me Dean." I say to him. "He left me alone for two years and now he is doing this. I don't know why he is doing this now. I want to know but I don't want to talk or even seen him" I say to Dean.
"You can report this to Security" he said to me.
"Yeah they can do so much Dean. He was here and he doesn't even like Wrestling" I tell him. "He came just to see me. He hated that I was in Wrestling he didn't like it. You have no idea the things he said to me about this sport. I am the only reason he came here tonight" I say to him.
"Don't worry I won't let him get to you" Dean said pulling me in. "The only way to get to you is over my dead body" he said to me. I felt him press his lips to my hair. I wrap my arms around him. "No will hurt you with me around. They never have and they never will" he said to me. I smiled and held him tighter. I don't know what I had done to deserve him in my life.
