The Chance Of A Lifetime

by Stefanie Mizanin

Stefanie and Shauna are the best of friends. Shauna pursued her dream of getting into the WWE, while Stef decided to stay as a fan. Shauna works alongside some of the greatest superstars ever, including Alex Riley. The Miz has become one of her best friends, along with Alex. What will happen when Alex and Shauna get paired together as a team?

21. Best Birthday Ever

It's back to the beginning of another week and a busy Monday. Just like always promoting Raw, we all had media. Alex had set an alarm for them to get up early since media started like 7am, going until mid-afternoon. Also had to make time for gift shopping for Stef and Mike since today is their birthday. Once the alarm goes off, she grumbles in her sleep, trying to block the noise out.

"...gotta get up..." Alex grumbles still half asleep.

"Five more minutes."

"If you promise to get up then."

"Yeah, yeah..." She mumbles.

He chuckles to himself just laying there letting her get a bit more sleep. That doesn't last to long when the alarm starts to go off again.

"Okay. Time to get up now."

"Alarms are evil."

"I know, but tomorrow we can sleep in as late as you want."

"True."

"As much as I don't want to let go, we have media to get to."

"If only it was later media."

"Exactly, but have to promote the show."

"Right. I know."

"Especially since we are both champs now. We have to go."

"Right, right."

"If we get ready now, we'll have enough time to get something to eat on the way."

"Well I really have no choice but to get ready now anyway."

"Unfortunately."

"Help me up?"

"My pleasure." He grins shifting so he is able to scoop her up.

He then gets out of the bed and brings her over to her things. She kissss his cheek and thank him before he sets her down.

She goes through her bag to get clothes for the day. Once she has those she heads to the bathroom. When she goes to close te door, she notices he followed her.

"You can't watch me change you know." She giggles.

"Awwww." He pouts. "It was worth a try."

"You can in time. Just not right now."

"Alright..." He pouts more.

"But...nothing wrong with imagining it. I know it's not the same, but it's close enough."

"You have no idea." He chuckles.

"I think I do a little bit, because I've had my fantasies about you. But you'll never find out about any of them. They're a secret."

"Oh you do now?" He raises a brow. "That's all I need to know. Now I know how to get you." He smirks.

"But how do you know that you can get me, if you don't know what the fantasies have been about exactly? Hmm?"

"If it's anything like what I think about then I have a pretty good idea."

"Uh huh..sure."

"Like now." He grins since she can't stop looking at him. "I know how I'm dressed is distracting you right now."

"The whole shirtless thing yeah. That distracts me all the time."

"See. I do know how to get you."

"Yes, but that's only one way."

"I'll figure out more of those ways."

"You can try."

"I can and I will."

"We'll see."

"Yes we will."

"Gonna let me get changed now?"

"I suppose."

"You have fun imagining while you get changed." She grins.

"Not as good as the real thing, but it'll do..for now."

"No peeking either."

"Darn."

"I know you're gonna want to."

"No denying that."

"But you must resist...for now."

"I'll do my best."

"As long as you do that."

"I will." He chuckles. "Now go before I change my mind."

She just laughs and nods, closing the bathroom door and starts getting changed. It doesn't take her to long to change and once she does that, she starts to work on her hair and makeup. Her hair she saves for last, since she wanted to put a few more curls on the ends of it. Once she was done with that, she grabbed everything and put it with her bags, before grabbing her shoes.

"You look amazing..." He grins once he sees you. "...love the shirt."

"Figured you would."

"I could have so much fun with that."

"You can have fun with the whole outfit."

"I plan on it." He lets his hands wander.

"I can see you now in the car and the radio station...because of the skirt.."

"Most definitely. I love when you wear skirts."

"But at the news station. You're gonna have to control yourself. Can't get away with the touching at the news station."

"That's what the car ride is for." He smirks.

"To get it all out, before it gets built up again."

"Exactly. We wouldn't want that to happen."

"Although I know it's gonna happen anyway."

"It always does."

"Can't be touchy with you though. Because of the suit."

"No, but knowing you, you'll think of something." He chuckles.

"Mmhmm. Wearing that tonight?"

"Maybe."

"You should."

"If that's what you want then I'll wear it."

"I'm pretty sure Eve's gonna want a rematch so I'll most likey going to be facing her tonight. Always gotta look your best when you're out there supporting me. And of course that goes the other way when I'm out there supporting you in your matches."

"All true. Although, you always look your best no matter how you're dressed."

"Touche."

"Are you ready to go?"

"Mmhmm. You?"

"I will be..." He pulls her to him pressing his lips to hers. He gives her a soft kiss as his hands rest on her waist and he makes sure to make the kiss long and lingering.

"Best part of my mornings." She says once he pulls away.

"Mine too." He grins.

She pulls from his arms and grab the hoodie she picked out and put that on, because it is October afterall and the mornings are warm, but not too warm since it's getting into Fall.

"I really love that shirt now that I seen the back." He grins with wide eyes.

"Of course you do. More to play with."

"Mhm. Hope you don't plan on wearing that jacket all day because it's coming off when we're indoors."

"Oh don't worry. It's just for when we're outside. Light jacket weather now."

"Right." He nods. "Shall we?" He offers his arm for her to take.

"We shall." She nods, taking it.

He makes sure to take the key with him before they head out of the room. They then head to the elevators taking that down to the lobby then out to the car. Once there, he opens her door then goes to the other side. After he is in, they head off to get something to eat before the long morning of media. During the drive to the first interview of the day, he took full advantage of being able to be touchy, while also making sure to focus on the road as he drives...that is until they come to a red light and he has to stop the car. He glances over at her while still being all touchy.

"You're having way too much with this."

"Yes I am." He grins letting his hand move up her leg.

"Just until you take that jacket off, then I'll have more to touch." He adds.

"Remember, you have to control yourself. We'll be in public."

"Don't worry. No one will see what happens under the table when we're at the radio stations and my arm's gonna be across the back of your chair too. Technically the news stations I have to control myself more."

"That's true. Looks like I'm going have to do my best too sit still."

"Yes you will."

"Oh boy."

"Which is why I'm getting some of it out now. Our first stop is one of the local news stations." He says as the light turns green and he continues along the road, but keeping his one hand on her leg on the spot where he stopped moving it. She rests her hand on his intertwining her fingers with his. It does not take to long before they arrive at the news station.

"Don't worry. The jacket will come off before we get mic'd up for the interview." She reassures him.

"How about as soon as we get in the building?"

"Then you can do the honors of helping me take it off."

"Yess." He cheers.

"So we're here now..." She trails off, unbuckling and reaching into the backseat, grabbing their things. "...here's your title." She hands it to him.

"Thank you." He smiles giving her a quick kiss.

"You're welcome."

"Now lets head inside so that jacket can come off."

"Yes, let's go." She laughs.

He quickly gets out of the are as she does then they head inside. Just as they walk inside, Alex helps take the jacket off.

"Now that's better." He puts his arm on her back, letting his fingers roam.

"Remember...behave."

"I know...getting it all out for now."

"Alright." She nods.

They then head to where the interview will take place. He keeps his hand on her back until it's time to get ready. They're seated in the chairs and mics are put on them before the show comes back onto the air. Once the show comes back on they're introduced. Shauna and Alex first thank reporters for having them on the show this morning, before they start with the expected questions.

"First off, congratulations on winning the title last week." One reporter says to Shauna. "How does it feel to be Divas Champion?"

"Oh it feels amazing. Being almost fairly new in the company and I can finally add this to my achievements."

"That's a big achievement too. You deserve to have it. I for one thought you should have had it months ago."

"Well, the position of power wasn't very good months ago. I have the new GM to thank for putting me in that match last week."

"Right. The Miz. What is it like to work for him now? I mean, we;ve seen you both outside of the ring and you both look really close."

"Working for him now is much better. He's bringing some changes. As for us outside the ring though, we're just really good friends. Nothing more."

"The shows have been better the past few weeks. I like how he is giving the Divas more airtime and the matches seem to be better. As we can tell now, you are with Alex Riley, but have you and Miz had a past at all? Some people seem to think there was something going on with the two of you."

"No no no, not at all. Before I even got into the WWE, I didn't know him at all, not even on a personal level. I was just a fan, sitting home every night watching the show and showing support."

"So you went from being a fan of his to his friend and now working for him. I'm sure there are a lot of girls out there that would love to be you right now. Not to mention you're with Alex. Do you get any hate because of that?"

"I've gotten a fair amount of choice tweets. But it's expected you know. All the fangirls and everything all jealous.

"Right, right. I would be too. Alex is a lucky man to have you by his side. How do you deal with all of that and do you let it get to you at all?"

"The best way to deal with it is to ignore it, and no we don't let it get to us. We're happy and people should be happy for us. If they can't be, then oh well."

"That's a way to look at it. Now onto the show. It's tonight at the IZOD center in Newark. Tickets are still on sale so call your local box office." He does a quick promotion for the show. "Are either of you planning on defending your titles tonight or is that something you will find out later on?"

"We know nothing at this point. It happens sometimes where we won't know until tonight."

"True. So Alex, who do you think will be the next challenger for your title and who would you like to face for it?"

"There are a lot of guys on the roster that I think deserve a chance. Obviously it looks like Dolph Ziggler is going keep trying to get it back. I wouldn't put it past him to talk The Miz into putting him in a match with me. Title or non-title, just to prove a point."

"He really does want that title back. I talked to him not to long ago and he said he is not going to stop until he it his title back from you. He said you put that title to shame. What are your thoughts about his comments?"

"I find that funny actually. Obviously he's jealous because I'm much better than him. If anything, he put the title to shame because he's hiding behind a woman."

"Ooohhh...now that is a good one. He does seem to do that a lot. If I remember correctly, she was the reason he lost the title in the first place. Am I wrong?"

"Well she does have a habit of getting involved, and that distracts the ref, which distracts Dolph, which ends up to him losing focus and losing."

"Looks like she's not that good for him after all, unlike Shauna here, who actually cheers and stays to the side. Everyone should be like that out there."

"I also take care of people who try and get involved in his matches. Vickie being the prime example. She's cost him matches before by distracting him and I don't want that happening anymore."

"Well with all the changes going on, I don't think she'll have the chance to do that anymore. It takes away from the match and makes them unfair at times."

"It really does."

"Well, looks like we're out of time for now. I would like to thank Alex and Shauna for joining us here this morning and be sure to get your tickets so you can see them in action tonight at the IZOD center in Newark." The reporter says before the show goes to commercial.

They then take the mics of and once again thank them for having them, before they're able to get up and leave. Once that was all done, they went back out to the car and headed to the next interview.

Mine and Mike's media day was starting an hour later than theirs, so I was allowed to sleep in a little bit. It was about 8:30am and Mike was ready to go, but he just started to wake me up. I grumble into my pillow not wanting to get up just yet.

"We've got media."

"Ugh." I groan as I roll on my back. I stretch a bit before sitting up. I glance over at him to see the suit he has on. "I do love how you dress for media."

"Gotta look my best."

"You always you." I shift to my knees. "Come here." I motion him over with my finger. Once he is close enough, I pull him by the tie so he is as close ashe can get. I then press my lips to his in a hard kiss. He wraps one hand around my waist to pull me close and to hold me in place. I let the kiss go on for a but before pulling away.

"Happy Birthday." I smirk after pulling away.

"And a very happy birthday to you too. Shauna told me, so that's how I know."

"She would do that and thank you."

"Just so you know. I have something special for you planned...after the show tonight."

"You don't have to do that." I blush biting my lip. "But, I do have something for you too."

"Oh?"

"You'll have to wait until later to see what it is. I have a feeling you're going to love it."

"I'm sure I will."

"Hopefully, but now I have to get dressed so we're not late."

"Right."

"Have to let go first, birthday boy." I giggle.

"Oops. My bad. I forgot."

"You always do." I chuckle as I move from the bed. I go over to my bag and get clothes out for the day. Once I have those, I head over to the bathroom. "You're present will be right back." I turn to smirk at him.

"I can't wait." He grins.

I blow him a kiss before heading in and starting to get ready. I start with my outfit which was a strapless white top with light pink jeans. I moved onto my makeup next before starting to curl my hair. Juat as I was getting ready to put my jewelry on, I heard Mike outside the door.

"I'll be right out." I say as I put my earrings on.

"Just a little impatient."

"I can tell." I giggle as I take one last look at myself before heading out. When I open the door to walk out, I stop since he was right in front of the door.

"Hi." He smirks.

"Well hello." I laugh.

"So this is my gift?"

"Well..." I bite my lip. "...not the main gift, but one of them."

"I love."

"Now how did I now that? Hmm?"

"Because you know me."

"Yes I do." I grin. "I do love my gift too." I look him over. "You're the best present ever." I play with his tie while leaning against the door frame.

"Happy to be your gift." He smirks.

"Not as happy as I am right now, but I know how much you are." I give him a quick kiss while trying to move around him only to have him stop me.

"Proper good morning kiss before you pass me."

"Oh alright." I chuckle.

*He grins as he rests his hands on my waist making sure I can't move. My hands run up his shirt then around his neck as he presses his lips to him. The kiss starts soft at first then once he tates the apple flavored lip gloss he starts to make the kiss a bit more rough. I try to pull away, but he moves his hand to my head holding me in place.

"...Mike..." I manage to pull away briefly. "...shoes..." I say between kisses.

"...lip gloss...so good..."

"I know...more later..."

"..better be..."

"Trust me. There will be. It's your birthday after all."

"And it's yours too."

"I know, but that's not important right now. It's all about you today."

"It's all about both of us."

"If you say so." I sigh, faking a smile. "How about I get my shoes now then we can go?" I change the subject quickly.

"Yeah, sure."

I move from his arms then over to my bag to get out my shoes. Once I have those, I sit on the bed to put them on.

"Need any help?"

"You just want to be al touchy." I giggle.

"Maybe."

"Then I would love some help."

He grins and walks over to help. He kneels down in front of me and slides my one boot on while letting his hands move up my leg once it's one. After that one is on, he does the same thing to the other side. When they're both on, he runs his hands my my legs to my thighs. I close my eyes and bite my lip since he stopped at my upper thigh, letting his hands rest there.

"Just a little fun before we leave."

"...I wouldn't...mind that..."

"What do you think I'm doing now?"

"Enjoying your present..."

"Oh yeah."

"No marks though...we have media and the show."

"I know."

My breath hitches as I bite my lip from him lightly moving his fingers where his hadns were resting.

"...killing me..."

"That's the goal."

I groan as I move my one arm around his neck while using the other to pull on his tie. I pull him close to me then press my lips tp his in an eager kiss. He smirks against my lips and when he feels necessary, squeezes gently on my thighs. A few soft noises escape me as I kiss him back even harder then before.

"Mmm..." He pulls away. "...don't want bruised lips for the interviews." He chuckles.

"...no..." I lean my head against his as I try to catch my breath.

"Gonna have to be able to talk."

"Right."

"Especially you."

"True. So many questions. Have to be able to answer them."

"Right."

"I do think we should go..."

"We should." He nods.

"Save it all for later."

"Yes." He smirks.

"Oh boy..." I chuckle. "You've got that look."

"Do I?"

"Yes." I laugh. "Which is why we are leaving..." I reach over for my black leather jacket I picked out. "...now."

"Oh darn." He laughs.

"We're going to be late."

"We can't have that."

"No." I slide from he bed. "Are you comeing or am I going alone?" I turn around sinc ehe did not follow, but was to busy staring.

"Huh? Oh yeah. I'm coming." He snaps out of it.

"Spacey." I snicker as I put my jacket on.

"Your fault."

"Oops." I giggle.

"Uh huh..suure."

"Trying to make your birthday extra special is all."

"It'll be special for you too. I'll make sure of that."

"It already is special."

"Nothing wrong with it being more special than it already is."

"As long as I have you, nothing else matters."

"I still wanna make it more special."

"I'm sure you will." I smile softly.

"Now let's go before we're late." I add.

"You first." He grins.

I shake my head as I turn around to open the door. I know he is staring since I can feel his eyes on me. Once he joins me in the hall, he links his fingers with mine as we head to the elevators then to the lobby. Once in the lobby, you step out of the elevator and head towards the doors to head out to the car. When we reach the car, he opens my door for me. I thank him as I get in then he heads over to the other side. After he gets in, he starts to head to the first interview.

"Your first day doing media."

"I know. I'm excited and nervous at the same time."

"You'll do just fine."

"I hope. I'll have you there so that'll help me too."

"Exactly."

"Should be interesting. I've already seen talk about me on the internet." I shake my head. "Some good, some not so good." I sigh.

"Don't believe any of the not so good stuff. It happens to all of us."

"Oh I know. It was just that everyone believed what Eve was saying on my first night."

"Everyone as in her fans. Fans will agree with their favorite."

"Yeah..." I chew my lip. "...just something I have to get used to I guess." I shrug.

"I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone has their haters."

"True..." I sigh as I stare out the window.

He reaches over then grabs my hand, lightly making cirlcles with his thumb on the back of my hand.

"It's nothing to worry about."

"I know, I just don't take well to hate. I'm very self-conscience."

"I'll be here to help you through it all."

"Good." I smile. "I'm going to need your help."

"I'll be there every step of the way."

"You don't know how much that means to me." I tear up.

"I have a pretty good idea."

"You're the best." I squeeze his hand.

"Only for you."

"Awww." I blush.

"And that's the truth."

"You're gonna make me cry with how sweet you are." I fan my eyes to stop any tears from falling.

"I'll be nothing but sweet to you."

"Okay...I think I'm gonna cry now."

"And I'll be here to wipe those tears away."

"Mike..." I bite my lip as I wipe a tear. "...there are not enough words to describe how happy you just made me."

"Seeing you happy, makes me happy."

"Well, you're going to be really happy because that's how you make me all the time."

"I'm glad."

He brings my hand to his lips, kissing the back of it. He keeps driving until we rech the first stop of the morning. The first stop was a local radio station. We get out of the car and lace our fingers together once Mike walks around to my side, and then we head inside. After making our way inside, we are directed to where the interview would be. We wait for a bit since they were not quite ready for so. I decided to take off the jacket I was wearing since it was really warm in the building.

"You know I'm gonna have to resist right?"

"I know." I smirk. "You can touch if you can behave."

"I'll try."

"As long as you try." I lean into his side for support.

He takes that chance to let his hands wander over the skin he can reach until it's time for us to head in. Once they're set, we head in and take seats at the table, sitting across from the radio hosts. We put on the headseats that were given to us as Mike sets his title on the little table that was there. After a brief introduction to the radio show, we get introduced.

"Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here." Mike thanks them.

"Tell us who you have with you here, for the listeners at home or at work, wherever they are."

"This here is our newest Diva. If you saw the show this past Monday then you seen her debut. Her name is Sage."

"And the reason why she's here with me is because I'm helping her, I'm a mentor if you wish to call it that." He adds.

"Like a manager?"

"Yes." I nod. "That's exactly what he is."

"What can I say. Everyone looks up to me. So why wouldn't I be a manager?"

"True, true." The host nods.

"He's been a pretty good manager so far." I smile.

"Yes, yes I have."

"So, tell us. What are your plans for Raw now that you're the GM?"

"Total and complete change. A major turn around from what it used to be."

"How so? Longer matches? More airtime for the Divas like past weeks?"

"All of the above. And if something happens in a match that results to the end of it and I don't like it. Bam..instant restart."

"Now that's something we all would love to see. What are your plans for the newest diva here?"

"Well I've been hearing that tons of Divas wanna be the first feud with her. I'm thinking each week we put her up against a different Diva on the roster. I'll closely evaluate the matches and I'll pick who her feud will be with."

"What about Eve? She has some things to say about Sage after she debuted. Any chance we will see a feud with them?"

"Once Eve's current feud is over with, we'll see."

"I'm sure Sage can't wait to get a chance with her in the ring."

"Damn right I can't wait. What she said was uncalled for." I scoff.

"She is the one to just cast judgement on people she doesn't even know." Mike nods in agreement.

"That's why not many people like her." I mumble.

"Now that I think about it. I can't tolerate that kind of judgement. Especially when it's towards someone new." Mike says, clearly starting to get an idea.

"Uh oh. Looks like Eve has some trouble coming her way." The host comments. "Everyone be sure to watch the show or get your tickets at the box office for Raw tonight at the IZOD center here in Newark to see what will happen." He does a quick promo for the show tonight.

"About your belt. When do you think you'll be defending it?" He asks Mike.

"First of all, it's not a belt. It's a title. There's a difference. This you can't buy at any store, not the real thing anyway. Belts you can buy anywhere."

I can't help but to sincker since that was not the first time that's happened.

"Right. My fault. Let me rephrase. When do you think you'll be defending your title?" He corrects himself.

"Well I can choose whenever I want to defend it. But I'm just waiting for someone to come up and challenge me. So far no one has. I think it's because of my newfound power over everyone."

"They probably think if they challenge you then something will happen. If someone did come up to you, would you accpect the challenge no matter who it might be?"

"Well of course. So I can prove everyone wrong again and again and again. I never get tired of it."

"You seem to be doing a good job of that so far. Look how far you have come. You went from reality TV star to Tough Enough to WWE champion and now the Raw GM. I think you're doing really well with yourself now."

"I think the word you're looking for is awesome. And it's only a matter of time before WWE asks me to do a movie too."

"Now that is something a lot of us would like to see." I comment with a grin.

"I'm sure that would boost your career to a higher level then it is now. That would be awesome for you."

"Yes, yes it would be."

"If you were to be in a movie, what do you see yourself doing? Like what kind of movie?"

"Well I'm an athlete, I'm a powerful guy. I definitely want a movie that's a challenge. I want to do all of my own stunts. Action movie more or less."

"Right, right. You're tough. You can do your own stunts." The host comments. "We're here with WWE champion The Miz and the lovely new diva Sage. They are in town for the show tonight at the IZOD center. Be sure to get your tickets now. There are still plenty left." He does another probo for the show.

"So tell us, anyone in your life right now?"

"Actually there is." Mike grins as he squeezes my thigh under the table.

"Can you tell us who the lucky girl is?"

"Not at the moment, but she knows who she is."

"Well she's very lucky."

"That she is." He grins bigger. "You'll find out who she is in due time."

"We'll be waiting for that day."

"I'm sure everyone will be waiting for that day. I know I can't wait to tell everyone who she is."

"Of course. Before we end the show we'd like to get a few things from Sage, being the new Diva and all. So first of all, what was it like debuting last week?"

"It was amazing. I have been working so hard to get to where I am and knowing it all paid off feels great. When I stepped out in front of the crowd all I felt was electricity. There really aren't words to describe how it felt other than just amazing, or as my manager would say...awesome."

"She's learning already." Mike chuckles.

"It seems that way. She just started and you're already rubbing off on her." The host chuckles as well.

"What can I say? I'm good like that."

"Of course. The best there is." I agree.

"And one more thing before we go. What do you look to achieve in your career?"

"Well, like anyone, I want to be divas champion. Since I just got here, I know that wil ltake some time to achieve. Right now, I just want all the divas out there to know that I plan on making things a lot tougher on them. No more 2-3 minute matches. I want to be one of the greats just like Lita and Mickie. So in time, I want to be one of the toughtest, best divas out there and have the title around my waist."

"Speaking like a true champion already."

"That's because I already am." I smirk with confidence.

"So much confidence too."

"That's something you have to possess if you want to make it in this company. I was just born with it."

"Just like myself." Mike adds.

"Seems like you are both perfect for each other. Any chance we might see you both as a couple in the future?"

"Only time will tell."

"I sense a secret here, but I'll leave that as a surprise for whatever you both decide or what happens on the show."

"As you should."

"Well, that's all the time we have. I would like to thank The Miz ans Sage for going us this morning and don't forget to get your tickets for tonight's show."

"No, thank you." Mike comments before he show goes off the air.

Once the show goes off air, they thank us for being there again. After we take off our headsets, we take a few pictures and sign a few things before we get ready to leave for the next interview.

"You did great for your first interview."

"Why thank you. I was really nervous, but I did my best."

"You did just fine. I do love that confidence you have." He smirks.

"That's just me and now I can actually show it. This is the real me and I'm going to show it every chance I get."

"Well you have no idea how much I really love it."

"I have a feeling I know how much."

"Right."

"How many more of these do we have this morning?"

"We're going until about noontime."

"Ugh, so a few more hours?" I groan, leaning my head on his arm as we walk.

"Unfortunately."

"As long as I'm with you then I don't mind at all. It's actually exciting."

"And not to mention your goofy side comes out in these things." I add.

"It does. Have to make them fun. I'm not all The Miz all the time."

"No, and some people don't get to see that."

"Unfortunately they think I'm like my character all the time. It really surprises them when I act different."

"Didn't surprise me, because I already knew." I grin.

"Did you now?"

"Mhm." I nod.

"Every interview that was on video, I saw everything."

"Of course you did." He grins putting his arm over my shoulder and kissing the top of my head.

Then we start to head out of the building and to the car. Once at the car, he opens my door for me as I get in. He then goes over to the other side and gets in before driving to the next interview.

"We're gonna be on TV for this next interview."

"A news station?"

"Mmhmm."

"Should be fun, but I think I'll leave the jacket on this time."

"That's alright." He nods.

"Also, you can't be all touchy like the last interview. This way it's less tempting for you."

"True. You are very tempting right now."

"When am I not?" I smirk.

"Very true."

"Same goes for you too. You're always tempting to me." I bite my lip.

"Always huh?"

"Mhm." I blush. "You have no idea." I mutter lowly.

"Good to know."

He starts to move his hand up my leg since that's all he can do right now. I shift in my seat when his fingers go over a few senstive spots. At one point, I have to stop his hand when he gets a bit to high. He takes that chance to squeeze gently on my thigh.

"...killing me again..." I bite my lip.

"Getting it all out before I can't do anything..."

"Mmm...you're making it so hard for me tight now."

"Oh trust me...I know."

"The things you do to me."

"You love it."

"I do..."

"And oh look...a red light." He smirks as the car comes to a stop.

"Oh boy...going to torture me even more now."

"As much as I can."

He starts to move his fingers a bit and I let go of his hand. He glances from me to the light as he lets his hand wander everywhere he can reach making me squirm in my seat. He then leans over and presses a light kiss to my neck for now. I rest my head agasint the back of the seat, biting down on my lip to contain any nosies that might escape. He glances at the light and at that last second, it turns green. He pulls from my neck to focus his eyes on the road to drive, but his hand stays where it is. I try to calm myself down, but it's not working that well. I decided to rest my head on the headrest and just watch him as he drives. The rest of the interviews up until noontime were basically the same questions we've all been getting. It finally came to noontime and we all could relax until having to be at the arena.

"So...now what do you want to do?" I ask Mike with a smirk as we get to our room.

"Hmm, well what do you want to do?"

"Something I've been wanting to do all morning." I grab his tie, pulling him to me before I press my ips to his in an eager kiss.

He chuckles against my lips and happily kisses back just as eagerly. My one hand moves around his neck so I'm able to ohld him in place. He moves his hands so they're resting on my hips for now. I keep the kiss going for awhile not being done just yet. His hands then move up my sides before moving to my hair and running his fingers through it. I sigh into the kiss then start to slow it down until he starts to walk making me walk backwards. Once my legs brush against the bed, I fall back on it making sure to bring his with me without breaking the kiss. That's when I start to eagerly remove his jacket. He moves his hands move my sides so he is able to pull his arms through the jacket. Once that is off, I toss it to the side not caring where it lands. The next thing I work on is his tie, fumbling with it as the kiss continues. After finally getting that off, it goes with his jacket as I start to work on the buttons of his shirt. I have more trouble with that since he was starting to get way more distracting in the kiss. It starts to get more difficult when he starts to move his hands down my sides, to my thighs where he squeezes down on them. I make a few noises into the kiss then after a bit of trying, I finally get his shirt undone. He helps me pull that off and again I toss that over with the jacket and tie. My hands then wander over the exposed skin of his. He starts to move us up to the pillows only breaking the kiss for air. He then starts to trail kisses across my jawline down to my ear. My nails start to dig into his back as he gently nips and sucks on that. After getting a few noises from me, he then moves down to my neck. I move my hands so that they're flat on his back and I hold him as close as he can be to me. He smirks as he slowly nips down my neck. A few noises come from me, but they're not loud enough for him just yet. The closer he gets to his favorite spot the more I start to shift under him. When he reaches the spot, he hovers over it letting his breath hit it for now.

"Miiiike..."

"Having my fun." He smirks.

"You're taking too long..."

"I'm just enjoying my present."

"And I'm still going crazy..."

"Patience." He chuckles as he lightly kisses around the spot.

"Have none..." I moan softly.

"...I know." He smirks.

I groan at the torture while pulling him down even closer to me as I hook my legs around his.

"No more waiting...please..."

He chuckles against my skin as he squeezes on my thighs once again. I arch my back into him then without warning, he presses his lips to the spot. My hold around his neck tightens as I bite down on my lip hard to contain any noises that are about to come. He knows I;m holding back, so even though he knows he can't leave any marks, he does keep kissing the spot. The more he does that, the more it gets harder for me to keep the nosies from coming. Finally I get them come and they are loud and clear to him since I was not able to muffle them. He grins as he hears them and he starts to move away from the spot, back across my jawline, and back to my lips to finish. I pull him down in an eager kiss as my hands run thorugh his hair. He goes on for a bit longer, before starting to pull away, leaving lingering kisses in place, until he leans his forehead against mine with a smile on his face.

"...that was worth...the wait..." I smile, trying to catch my breath.

"I would hope so."

"It was...so much torture this morning."

"It really was."

"It was so hard not being able to touch or even kiss you at all."

"It was just as hard for me, trust me."

"I know the outfit didn't help either." I chuckle.

"No...no it didn't."

"Now we can do anything we want, as much as we want, for how ever long we want."

"Yes, yes we can."

"I have a feeling this day is going to fly by."

"Quite possibly."

"Oh boy." I giggle. "We'll, lets go birthday boy." I smirk.

"Oh it's on."

"Bring it." I challenge with a smirk.

"Just let me go change out of these pants first..."

"Awww." I pout. "Let me help you with them..."

"If you insist..."

"Yayy." I cheer since he does not have to move.

I move my arms from around his neck then slowly over his shoulders as I take my time down his chest. I feel him tense up as I get to the waist of his pants. I start to get the button undone while getting my fingers lightly touch his skin. A muffled growl sound comes from him just as I get them undone and start to pull them down.

"I think I'll let you choose what I put on in place of these." He says as he steps out of them after they hit the floor.

"How about..." I pretend to think. "...what you're wearing now?" I bite my lip.

"You do seem to be liking that..."

"I do." I nod, my eyes never leaving him. "Very much."

"Well I do aim to please...so okay."

I grin happily as he lays on the bed next to me, draping his arm over my stomach just letting his fingers lightly move under my shirt.

"You want to know something? I'm happy you came into my life." He smiles.

"Really?" I blush. "I'm not even that special."

"You keep saying that, and I keep reminding you that you are special...to me anyway."

"Awww." I blush. "That's the reason I'm so happy I met you. You're nothing but sweet to me. You let me be myself and have no problem with it."

"Everyone deserves to be themselves and shouldn't change for anyone. I would never ask you to change who you are, I'm happy with who you really are."

"That means so much to me...you have no idea." I sigh in content as I snuggle into him. "I'm just happy I can show you the real me and not someone who I'm not."

"I'll always treat you the way you should be. Always."

"You're officially the person person ever. I've never been so happy as I am right now."

"Good. You should be."

"Best few months ever." I say lowly.

"Your life will be better than ever before. I'll make sure of that."

"That's what you keep telling me and it gets better everyday I wake up next to you." I kiss him quick.

"I will continue to keep telling you. Each and every day."

"You're to sweet." I blush. "This all feels like a dream that's to good to ge true."

"I know. But I assure you, this is not a dream, this is reality."

"Good because I would never want to wake up if this was a dream."

"Of course."

I move closer to him, hooking my arm around the one he as on my stomach. I turn my head so I'm facing him and lay there just enjoying the moment as if it really was a dream. I hold onto him tightly while breathing in his scent.

"You wake up every day and I'm here. That's not gonna change."

"I pray every night it doesn't happen."

"It never will. Trust me."

"I do trust you."

"Good."

"I always will." I bury my face into his neck.

"That makes me happy."

"It should. I don't trust many people. You're one of the lucky ones."

"Lucky indeed."

"Mhm." I nod as I relax into him. "How about we stay just like this until we have to leave?"

"That's a great idea."

"I'm full of great ideas."

"Yes you are."

"And...since it's your birthday...you can be as touchy as you want and I won't stop you."

"Like anything's stopped you from stopping me before." He chuckles.

"True, but you get to have your fun now. No matter how much it tortures me."

"I plan on it."

"Go for it." I smirk.

"Oh I will. I'm just going to take my time. Makes the torture even greater."

"I'm so going to get you back for this later too."

"Oh, I know."

"Of course." I bite my lip as he slowly starts to move hishand up my shirt more letting his fingers lightly move over my skin.

"Looking forward to it."

"You...always...do..."

"I'm being distracting aren't I?" He grins.

"Very." I nod slowly.

"I thought so. That means my goal is getting accomplished...again."

"Always is." I bite my lip.

"I feel goosebumps forming where my fingers move across."

"You keep finding more spots..."

"...and it's fun." He adds.

"...for you..." I shift under his touch.

"I know you enjoy it though."

"Mmmm...I do." I moan softly.

"That just proves even more that you do."

"...can't help it..." My breath hitches as he nips at my ear. "...you do that...to me..."

"Good to know."

"Hope you're...having fun..."

"I am. Best gift ever."

"Good. It's all yours too."

"As you keep telling me."

"Just letting you know."

"I know. Nothing wrong with getting reminded. I like hearing it."

"Of course you do." I bite my lip again as his hands start to move from my stomach to the waist of my pants.

He runs his fingers lightly back and forth along the waist of my pants, giving me even more goosebumps. My hold on his arm gets tigher as I shift a bit with a few noises coming from me. He just chuckles and kisses my neck once lightly. I close my eyes and just try too relax into his touches while enoying the moment, wanting to make it last. The teasing touches after a while turn into soothing touches. I start to relax the more soothing he makes the touches. As much as I try to fight it, a yawn ecapes me. I shake my head trying to stay awake since I don't want to go to sleep.

"If I make you sleepy, you don't have to fight it."

"I don't wanna sleep." I whine.

"You yawned."

"Nu uh."

"You sleep, I promise to be here when you wake up."

"...alright..."

"I'm not going anywhere...promise."

"I trust you." I hold onto him tight.

He grins and kisses my head before wrapping his arms around me and holding me close. I relax more having his arms tightly around me. It keeps getting harder for me to keep my eyes open, but I keep fighting it. He sees me trying to fight sleep so he starts to run his hand through my hair. It takes a bit, but that starts to work like always. Not to soon after he started that, I feel asleep. Once he notices I'm asleep, he kisses the top of my head then looks down at me with a smile. He holds me closer to him as he lays there just watching me sleep.

Alex and Shauna in the meantime have just gotten back to their room after coming back from what was a long lunch. After walking in, she takes her shoes off and put them back with her stuff.

"That was a long day." She sighs as she falls back on the bed.

"Feels so much better to get those shoes off too." She adds.

"I bet." He chuckles. "I can help with any soreness you have if you want." Alex offers as he sits next to her after taking his shoes and jacket off.

"If I need any relief, I'll let you know. Doesn't feel as bad right now."

"Aright." He turns to face her. He props himself on his elbow allowing his other hand to lay over her stomach as he moves her closer to him.

"Not close enough?"

"Nope."

"I never seem to be close enough." She chuckles.

"If you're not in my arms then you to far away."

"Awww."

"I can't stand when I'm not holding you. That's torture enough for me." He holds her close and tightly.

"Like how you couldn't really all that much today."

"Exactly. Today was pure torture."

"Poor you."

"Yes." He chuckles. "Poor me, but now I have you all to myself."

"For the rest of the day, through tonight."

"Mhm. All mine."

"And no one is going to change that."

"Damn right. I got you first and with me is where you're going to stay."

"Exactly."

"Now...I thinnk you know what I want..." He smirks.

"Do I now?"

"Yes you do." He moves his fingers up her side, leaving light kisses on her shoulder as he makes his way to her neck.

"Hmm, wouldn't it be better if..." She trails off, shifting to lay on her side so she's facing him. "...your hand was here?" She continues, taking his hand and placing it on her back where he was so distracted by earlier today.

"Mmm...that's much better." He grins letting his fingers wander over all the exposed skin.

"I thought so."

"I really do love this shirt."

"I can tell."

"So much to touch."

"Yes, I know." She laughs.

"Going to have fun with this." He smirks.

"Kind of figured you would."

"I've been waiting all day to do this."

"And what's stopping you now?"

"Nothing at all." He grins, letting his fingers slip in between the slits in the back of her shirt.

He makes the touches light and lingering for now just enjoying the torture he is causing. At one point it does cause a shiver to move down her spine and of course that makes her shiver a bit. He chuckles at her reaction since that was what he was going for. He keeps that up for a bit longer before pressing a bit harder making them more soothing then lingering.

"Do that any more and I may end up falling asleep."

"We got time before we have to leave so if you want to, go ahead."

"I thought you wanted to be distracting because you couldn't be this morning."

"I can do that until you fall alseep or I can just keep you up."

"Knowing you, you would keep me up." She laughs.

"You're right." He grins. "I would and I'm going to." He smirks.

He moves some hair from her face then presses his lips to hers in an eager kiss since he has been waiting all morning to do that. He continues to touch the skin of her back through the slits on the back of her shirt, while his other hand that moved the hair from her face, stays resting on her face. She kisses back just as eager letting one hand rest on his chest while the other wraps about his neck. She then begins unconsciously playing with the button of his shirt and that ends up coming loose. He starts to kiss a bit more roughly still keeping his hands on her back. Just so that it would be easier for him to keep his hands there, they shift while not breaking the kiss and she ends up laying on top of him. This gives him the chance to use both his hands to free and he does so with one going down her side to the bottom of her shirt while the other still plays with the slits. He makes it hard for her, but she manages to get his shirt fully unbuttoned.

"...much better..." She mumbles against his lips.

"...glad your happy..." He mumbles while letting his fingers play with the bottom of her shirt before slipping them slightly underneath it.

"But my shirt...stays on..."

"I know...just having fun..."

"And so am I." She says as her hands move down his sides, finding his indents since she's covering his abs at the moment, and they're not accessable to her.

The farther she moves down the more tense he gets. Once she gets close enough a slight growl comes from him. She smirks against his lips and keep her hands where they are, keeping him wondering if she's going to move them right to the indents or not.

"...Shauna..." He groans at the torutre. "...killing me..."

"I just know how to get to you."

"You do." He groans. "Like I know how to get you." He moves his hand down squeezing down on her butt.

"Well, you haven't done that before..."

"Something new. Gotta keep you on your toes."

"Just like I've gotta keep you on your toes as well."

"Touche."

"Have to be prepared as much as you can at all times..." She trails off before pressing her fingers into one indent for now.

He tense up more this time and the growl that comes from him is much louder.

"Wasn't prepared for that were you?" She smirks.

"...no..." He shakes his head slowly.

"Oops."

"I'll get you back." He grins squeezing her butt more harder this time.

She gives him a quick, yet hard kiss in response.

"And I can retaliate." She presses the fingers of her other hand into the other indent.

An even louder growl comes from him this time as he squeezes even harder on her butt. Since that one was not expected, she squeaks in surprise. She then retaliates once more, this time holding the hard kiss against his lips as she presses fingers into both of his indents, all happening at the same time, which is sure to drive him absolutely crazy. His hold on her gets tighter as he rolls them over so he is hovering her now. He takes her hands and pins them above her head against the mattress.

"Oh no fair. I was having fun."

"I could tell, but things might happen if you keep that up."

"Oops...my bad."

"You're so going to get it." He starts to nip at her bottom lip.

"Too late to apologize?" She asks after he lets her lip go.

"I do believe so." He chuckles.

"Oh darn."

"Now it's my turn." He smirks as he brushes his lips over hers.

She kisses back just as eagerly as he was kissing her, and even though she knows he's not letting go just yet, she still struggles to get her hands free. He squeezes down on her hands as he starts to make the kiss more intense. He keeps that going for awhile before pulling away to kiss across her jawline making his way to her ear. He starts to lightly nip at her earlobe a bit, just waiting for a reaction. First she moves her head to the side, her eyes instinctively closing. She bites her lip to keep any noises quiet and she squeezes his hands. Since he knows she's holding back, he goes from nipping to sucking on her ear. She shake her head slightly, still intent on keeping the sounds held back. He then decides to move from her ear to her neck, knowing that once he hits his favorite spot the noises would come out. He slowly nips and sucks as he makes his way to the spot, letting his kisses linger for now. She squeezes his hands tighter as he closes in on the spot, getting closer and closer to it. And then like always, he presses his lips to the spot with no warning and it works because she arches up into him and the sound that comes rom her is not quiet at all. He smirks against her skin as he keeps going until a small make starts to form. When he feels one is forming he pulls away with a smirk on his face. He then move back to her lips and lets her hands go. Her arms instantly wrap around him, and her hands rest on his back, under his shirt since he has yet to remove it. She holds him as close as he can get, kissing him way more intense from before because he caused it. He kisses back just as rough and eager as she is while resting his hands on her hips for now. After a while, much to his protest, she starts to slow the kiss down, lingering the more she begins to stop it.

"...awww..." He pouts.

"Don't want to go too crazy."

"True, but I wasn't done."

"You could've stopped me from stopping the kiss..."

"I did, but you weren't letting me." He pouts with puppy eyes.

"Well I did need air afterall."

"Right."

"Now that you got some..." He trails off with that look in his eye.

"...I suppose you can finish." She finishs for him.

He cheers with excitment as he presses his lips to hers once again. This time he keeps the kiss going for a bit longer only pulling away when he is finished.

"Happy now?"

"Very." He nods with a big grin on his face.

"Good. I like when you're happy."

"I'm always happy when I'm with you. I just love kissing you."

"It's addicting, I know."

"Yes you are."

"So are you."

"I know I am." He smirks.

"Of course you would know."

"Yes, yes I would."

"But just think. If I do end up having a match tonight, that means ring gear, which means more being touchy...like always."

"You know how much I love when you wear your gear." He grins.

"Likewise."

"Let's hope I have a match tonight so we'll both be happy."

"Or match together..." She grins.

"Now that I would love."

"I know you would. But we'll see what Mike has when we get there tonight."

"Right."

"Knowing Eve though, she'll probably want that rematch of hers."

"She might, but don't you think she'll be in trouble for what she said last week?"

"Yeah I think so. Mike will come up with something really good then. I know it." She grins evilly.

Just as she says that her phone goes off. She looks at it and see it's a text from Mike saying he wants to talk to her before the show.

"Speaking of. He wants to talk to me before the show."

"Hmm...wonder what that could be?" He chuckles.

"Yes, I wonder what." She laughs.

"She is not going to like it, that's for sure."

"Nope. Not at all."

"Well, I can't wait to find out what it's going to be."

"Of course." She says trying to hide a yawn.

"Uh oh. Looks like someone is tired."

"Maybe just a little."

"You should get some sleep. We've got time before we have to leave."

"I think you have to move first..."

"How about..." He rolls them over so she's laying on his chest. "...we lay like this?"

"That's better."

"Figured it would be." He grins as he starts to run his hand up and down her back.

"Always the perfect pillow."

"Just for you." He kisses the top of her head.

"Like always."

"Of course. Now...sleep."

She nods and kisses him quick before snuggling into him. He keeps moving his hand up and down her back helping to relax her more. It doesn't take long before she does end up falling asleep. And he knows it when he feels that her breathing has changed. He smiles down at her and decides to lay there and watch her sleep until it's time to leave.

It felt like just as soon as she fell asleep, she was being woken up. She mumbles, not wanting to move. He chuckles as he tries to gently wake her up.

"We have to get ready." He softly says as he runs his fingers through her hair.

"Already?"

"Mhm. You were out for a few hours."

"It feels like I had just gotten to sleep, didn't feel like I was out for that long."

"You must have really been tired then. Maybe tonight we'll get you to bed early."

"Maybe."

"We'll also rest as much as we can during the show too."

"True."

"How about we get ready for that now?"

"Good idea."

He slowly lets her go so they're able to get up and get ready. The most that she does is just straighten out her clothes since she wasn't changing out of them. She put her shoes back on before heading into the bathroom to fix her hair and touch up her makeup. While she was doing that, Alex was fixing his clothes as well. It doesn't take her to long to do all that and when she's finished she walks back out into the room.

"So glad you decided to keep wearing that." He smirks.

"I know how much you love it so I decided to keep it on just for you."

"Just like I decided to keep the suit on for you."

"I do love when you wear suits. Not as much as jeans and your jeresys, but this is a very close second."

"Well I do have a jersey packed just in case...always."

"Of course you do." She chuckles. "Anything to distract me more."

"It's fun."

"For you, but I will always get you back for it."

"Oh I know."

"Like you said, it's fun." She smirks.

"For you."

"Yes, yes it is."

"But I think we should get going now, seeing as Mike needs to talk to me before the show starts."

"Right." He nods. "After you."

"As always." She grins as she grabs her bag.

"I just love the view." He grins as he grabs his bag as well.

"Of course you do."

"Gets better every time."

"Only you would think so."

"That's right."

"Don't get too distracted now." She laughs as she opens the door for them to leave.

"I'll do my best." He chuckles as he follows her out.

She reaches back and grab his hand as they head for the elevators. They step into the elevator and head down to the lobby. Once there, they make their way out to the car. They put their things in the back before getting in and heading to the arena.

I, in the meantime have just started to wake up, Mike's arms still around me, and he hasn't moved, just like he said. I shift a bit, not wanting to get up right now but, I sligtly open my eyes to look up at him.

"Told you I wasn't going anywhere." He grins.

"You did and I'm glad you're still here."

"Always will be, just like I said."

"Good." I smile. "Like I said, I trust you."

"I know."

I sigh in content as I snuggle into him more.

"So comfy."

"I do hate to say this but we do have to get up and get ready to go."

"Nooooo." I whine, burying my face into his chest.

"I know, I know. But you're gonna want to hear what I have planned for Eve's punishment tonight for what she said about you last week. I texted Shauna and told her that I wanted to talk to her before the show. I think you'll like my plan when I discuss it with both of you."

"Oh?" I look up at him. "Do I get to hear it now or do I have to wait?" I look through my eyelashes giving him my best puppy dog eyes.

"I can give you a hint at least. It involves you two and Eve."

"I do like the sound of that." I grin evilly. "Do I get revenge for last week?"

"Maybe."

"That's almost worth getting up for."

"I would hope so."

"I still don't want to get up." I groan. "I like where I am."

"I know you do."

"Wish we could stay here all day." I sigh. "But, I guess I should go get ready."

"We both should."

"You definitely. You're to distracting right now."

"Oops."

"Part of the reason I don't want to get up right now." I move my nails over the skin on his chest.

"Of course." He chuckles.

"I'll get to see it later so..." I move my hand up his chest to his face. "...I'll get ready now." I pull him down giving him a passionate kiss, pulling away and moving from the bed before he has time to respond.

"Oh you're evil."

"You love." I giggle as I get my makeup from my bag.

"I do."

"Which is the reason I do it." I grin. "Plus that was payback for earlier."

"I figured."

"It's our day so we can get away with it."

"Yes, yes we can."

"We can continue as soon as I get back out, but only if you're ready." I smirk as I head in the bathroom.

Once in there, I just touch up my makeup and fix my hair a bit. I make sure my clothes look good before heading back out into the room.

"Amazing."

"And all I did was touch everything up."

"It's the little things that amaze me the most."

"Mike..." I bite my lip, blushing slightly. "...it's only hair and makeup."

"I still love it."

"The reason I do it all...just for you."

"I love that you do."

"Aren't you just a charmer today."

"Always am."

"That's why you're the best." I smile.

"Yes, I know."

"You have no idea how much that attitude turns me on." I bite my lip.

"Well, I think I know now."

"I regret nothing either." I smirk.

"You shouldn't."

"Good 'cause I don't." I chuckle, biting my lip as I look him over in his suit. "So hot." I mutter to myself.

"I know what you're thinking."

"Do you?"

"I do."

"Enlighten me then. What am I thinking about?"

"Me obviously."

"Hmm..." I pretend to think. "...you sure about that?"

"Who else would be thinking of? You're looking at me, with that look..."

"Alright...you got me." I giggle.

"I'm always right."

"Seems so."

"One kiss before we go?"

"I would never pass that up."

"Well, come here then."

"I'm coming." I laugh.

"Not fast enough."

"Really?" I tease, slowing down.

"Yes...really."

"Relax...I'm going as fast as I can." I laugh.

"Really?" He gives me a look.

"Really."

"Really?"

"Really." I laugh just arms length away from him.

"Closer."

"How much closer do you want me to get?"

"Hmm..." He trails off, before reaching out and grabbing me, pulling me against him. "...this close."

"Better now?"

"Much better."

"Good. As long aas you're happy that's all that matters." I run my hands up his chest to his shoulders then around his neck.

"I'm always happy when I'm with you."

"Mike..." I blush trying to hide my face in his chest.

"Uh uh...no hiding."

"I'm probably so red right now."

"But it's cute."

"Only you would think that."

"Yes I would."

"Of course."

"But I think you owe me a kiss right now, before we're late."

"So I do." I grin, lifting my head off his chest.

"You're not that red." He says, moving a piece of hair away from my face, leaving his hand where it was on my face.

"Not yet." I chuckle as I lean into his touch.

He just grins before leaning in and kissing me gently but lingering. My arms get tighter around his neck as I pull him closer trying to hold the kiss longer. He wraps his free arm around me and holds me tight as he does help with holding the kiss longer. I lightly hum into the kiss as my fingers run through the bottom of his hair. I do my best to make the kiss last as long as I can, but he starts to slow it down causing me to whine in protest.

"We're...gonna be...late.."

"Awwww." I whine. "Maybe I can talk to the GM and get us off the hook." I grin.

"Unfortunately he has a show to run, but if I could for one night, I would appoint someone as temporary GM so we get the night off."

"That would be awesome. To bad you can't do that."

"I know."

"Maybe we should go before I get in trouble by the GM for making us late."

"Right." He chuckles.

"You're going to have to let go unless you want me to be in trouble."

"Actually I won't have to let you go." He says, moving so that his arm is around my shoulders. "Now we can go."

"Just need my bag." I kneel down to pick it up. "All set now." I lean into his side.

He grins before we head out of the room and to the elevators. Once there, we step in taking that to the lobby. When we get to the lobby, we make our way through then out to the car. We put our things in the back before getting in and heading to the arena. When we get there, we make sure we grab everything and head inside. After heading inside we go right to his locker room where we find Shauna and Alex waiting.

"Hey." She greets me.

"Hey." I greet back.

"Almost didn't make it in time."

"Oh boy. Who's fault this time?"

"Who do you think?"

"His?"

"When isn't it?"

"Good point."

"So what did you want to talk to me about Mike?" She asks.

"How about we go inside and talk? It involves both you and Stef. You never know who is lurking around."

"True."

He opens the door letting us all in before walking in himself and locking it just in case.

"Alright, so what involves the two of us?"

"Alright. So, I've been thinking and I'm not to happy with what Eve had to say last week. What I was thinking was a 2 on 1 handicap match with her against the both of you. One, she is feuding with you for the title and two, there is someone here that would love to teach her a lesson. But, there's a catch..." He pauses. "...Stef, you're going to be going out there as a face tonight. Vince wants to try a few different things before deciding what you're going to be. So, this works out. Now, she's going to think it's for the title but, Stef is going to be the surprise opponent. Eve is going to have no idea this is going to happen. What do you both think?"

"That has to be the best idea yet. She's no match for the two of us. And she so deserves the beating we're gonna give her."

"She so is. I so can't wait to get me hands on her after what she said." I rub my hands together while smirking evilly.

"So are you gonna call her in here and tell her about that tite match she thinks she's having or are you going to have someone else tell her?"

"I'm going to have to talk to her. She's going to come to me anyway so I would rather get it out of the way."

"Right." I nod.

"And speaking of matches. Dolph keeps bugging me about another match with you Alex. So just to make him happy and get him offf my back, I gave it to him. Non-title though."

"I'll take that." He nods. "He might not be happy with the result, but at least he will finally get the match he wants."

"I highly doubt he'll leave me alone after tonight when he loses...again."

"He'll just have to deal with it. He's had many chances already. To many if you ask me."

"And in all those chances, Vickie has gotten involved." She adds.

"You do have a point." Mike starts to think. "I think I'm going to ban her from ringside for this match. Just to see how he does without her and if she does come out, automatic disqualification."

"Great idea."

"She has been ruining the matches and the fans are not happy with that. I'm going to make things better and I'm starting with that. From this night on, if she gets involved in any of his matches they're both done. I'm not having that on my show."

"Especially since it's been going on for two years."

"That's to long. Now that I'm in charge, it stops."

"Finally."

"Yes. I'm making changes. Some people may not like them and some people may, but things are changing around here wither people like it or not."

"As they should change."

"Exactly, but now to tell Vickie and Eve the news." He rolls his eyes.

"Eve is more tolerable to talk to than Vickie at least."

"That's true." He chuckles. "One more thing. Being the Divas Champion, do you want to start the show, middle of the show or next to last match?"

"Middle of the show sounds good for this week."

"You got it. I'll let everyone know about that then. Also, I was thinking Alex could be the main event. What do you think about that?"

"Well I know I love that idea." She grins.

"I like that too and don't worry. This will be better than any main event there has been so far."

"Of course it will be."

"Don't worry. He won't let you down."

"Trust me, I know."

"Now, I have to go find Eve and Vickie and have a talk with them."

"Good luck."

"I'm going to need it." He chuckles. "I'll be right back." He kisses me quick.

"Alright."

"So, how's the birthday going?" She asks me.

"Amazing." I smile big. "Besides media this morning everything is just perfect."

"Did Mike plan anything for you two?"

"He did say he has something for me. That's all I got out of him. All I know is after the show we're going out."

"Oooh."

"He didn't tell me where, all he said was to wear something nice."

"I have an idea on what it is. But I shall say nothing."

"Of course you would know." I laugh. "I did get all the stuff I wanted to get him. Got the last thing yesterday."

"He's gonna love it I'm sure."

"Well remember what I told you I got him? I got him something more too."

"Oh?"

"Not only did I get him tickets to the game, but I got a football signed by the whole team. I was afraid it wouldn't be here, but it came just in time."

"He's going to be so happy. He'll definitely love that."

"I figured. I know how much he loves his football and his home team so it was something I just had to do."

"Of course."

"It's going to be hard to his the bag with the ball in it. He's already trying to peek and see what's in it." I chuckle.

"He so would."

"Yes he would." I laugh.

"Well I'm glad he hasn't been trying to peek at what Alex and I have been working on getting for him. It took a while, but we finally picked it up today."

"What did you guys get him?"

"Well it was kind of my idea, but we got him his own personalized title. You know how Zack has the Internet Championship? Well I thought Mike deserved his own. Took a lot of thinking of what would be perfect to put on it as for designs and such and lettering if any."

"Ooohhh. I know for a fact he's going to love that."

"We have it all in our locker room. I hope he gets back soon so we can give it to him. Got something for you too. Alex, why don't you go get everything?"

"Be right back." He kisses her quick.

"Mike should be back soon. I think I heard Vickie screeching a bit ago so he should almost be done." I laugh.

"So that's what that was." She laughs too.

"That's the only thing I could think of."

"Who else screeches like that anyway? Exactly."

"True. And speaking of Mike." I say as he walks through the door rubbing his head.

"Awww...come here you." I motion him over. I give him a quick kiss in hopes that will make him feel a bit better.

"She didn't take the news so well. We heard."

"No she did not, but Eve was pretty happy. Maybe I should have dealt with Vickie first."

"To save the headache."

"Exactly." He nods.

"I can help with that." I grin.

"Please." He says.

"Anything for you." I give him a kiss. "Come sit with me." I lead him ocer to the couch in the room as you follow. I sit on the couch and have him lay so his head is in my lap. I gently start to massage his temples going across his forehead then back again. I keep that up until he lets me know he's feeling better. And just then the door opens and Alex walks in with everything.

"Vickie?" He laughs when he sees me rubbing Mike's head.

"Who else." Mike groans.

"Well I know this will help you feel better. We have a gift for you." She says as she gets up, walking over to Alex.

"Oh?" He sits up slightly.

"Mmhmm." She grins as she takes a case from Alex.

He sits up all way as she walks over with the case.

"You can now be considered..." She trails off, opening the case. "...the official champion of awesomeness."

"Oh wow." He says in awe. "This is...amazing. Thank you." He hands to to me so he can get up to hug you. "Another great present from you." He grins as he sits back down looking at the title.

"They just get better every year. I try to at least. I came up with the concept, but Alex paid for it."

"You really out did yourself this year. Two amazing gifts. You have no idea how thankful I am."

"Well you do deserve the best afterall. Anyone doubts you about being awesome, you just show them that."

"I will do just that too."

"And now for the other gifts."

"Other gifts?"

"Mmhmm. Well there's one thing for both of you and there are two things for Stef."

"Aw. You did not have to get me tow things. What you already got me is enough." I hug Mike's arm as I lean into him.

"Well one's from me and one's from Alex."

Alex comes over and pulls out a whole bouqet of my favorite flowers from behind his back.

"These are from me." He grins.

"Awww." I gush as I take them to smell them. "They're beautiful! Thank you!" I stand up to give him a hug.

"I told him those were your favorite." She remarks.

"They are. I love them." I smell them again as I feel the petals on each flower.

"And I know how much you want your own title so...I went and got one of the real replicas that they have when titles change hands and you get to keep your own if you lose it...of mine." She grins, holding it out for me.

I gasp as I put my hand over my mouth. "Shauna..." I tear up a bit. "...I love it! Now I can say I'm a champion ust like you. Thank you so much!" I get up giving you a big hug.

"Now you don't really have to wait technically."

"No I don't and it feels just as good."

"Of course until you actually win it, you're gonna have to wait to bring it out with you, but I knew you've wanted this. So I had to ask for one of the duplicates they make."

"Right." I nod. "I can wait until then. Just knowing I have it makes it more amazing."

"Always count on me for the best gifts."

"Yes. You do give the best gifts ever."

"And last, but not least, a cake for both of you."

"Oooohhh. Cake!"

"You're welcome for everything."

"Thank you. This really has been the best birthday ever."

"Don't I always make it great?"

"Yes you do." I laugh. "This one is just really special to me." I bite my lip as I glance over at Mike.

"Of course it is."

"And it's not over yet." Mike says to me.

"Of course not."

"Now who wants cake?"

"I do! I do!" I bounce in my seat.

Alex goes over and grabs the cake, bringing it back over and setting it down on the table that was next to the couch. He brings out candles then puts them on the cake. She lights them as they sing 'Happy Birthday' to Mike and I. Once they're done, we blow out the candles and Alex starts to cut the cake.

"Ooohhhh...chocolate."

"Yes, your favorite also."

"It is. You know me so well."

"I do."

"Oh man..." I moan after taking a bite of the cake. "...this is really good."

"It is."

"Nice choice." Mike nods

"Mmhmm..." She trails off and check the time. "...looks like the show is going to be starting very soon."

"So it is." I sigh.

"But hey you get to look forward to getting Eve back for that comment last week."

"True." I grin. "That's going to be fun."

"Yes it will be. Considering she thinks it's a title match."

"I can't wait to see the look on her face when she finds out it's not for the title."

"She'll be pissed."

"That's for sure." I laugh. "Going to be sweet to get revenge on her." I smirk evilly.

"Exactly."

"Maybe we should head to our room now?" Alex says to her.

"I think that would be a good idea." She nods.

"Well, thank you for everything and I'll see you out there in a bit." I get up to give her and Alex another hug.

"You're welcome. See you out there."

"Thanks again Shauna. It really means a lot." Mike says as he hugs her after I pull away.

"I'm gonna try to outdo myself next year."

"I don't think you can. You already got me the best gift ever."

"I can at least try."

"Yes, you can." He chuckles as he pulls away.

"So I'll see you later then."

"See you later."

Alex takes her hand and they leave, heading back to their room.

"I still can't believe she got me this." I say looking at the replica title again.

"She's good for things like that."

"She is. She really outdid herself this year."

"I don't know how she can top this next year."

"Me either, but knowing her, she'll find a way. She always does."

"True."

"But, now you have a show to run."

"Yes I do. And I've granted Dolph to take the time to open the show so he can yak away about how good he is and all that. Hype the match tonight."

"Lets just hope he doesn't bore us to death."

"I hope not."

"He's lucky to be starting off the show. He better not blow it."

"If he gets too carried away, I'll have them cut his mic off."

"Oh that'll make him even more mad." I snicker.

"And I don't care."

"You shouldn't. It's your show now and you run it the way you want to."

"Exactly."

We settle down on the couch as he puts his arm around me. I lean into him as he kisses the top of my head. Meanwhile, Shauna and Alex just got back to their locker room. By that time, the show had started and after a bit Dolph came out, with Vickie in tow and a microphone in his hand.

"Oh goody, we get to hear him rant and rave."

"He should be happy. He got the match he wanted afterall."

"And that's what he'll go on and on and on about. Talking about this and that and blah blah blah."

"Not like it matters. He's going to lose, again."

"Like always. And it'll be a fair fight this time."

"Exactly."

So once Dolph is ready, he starts ranting on about how Alex brings shame to the title, and how he shouldn't be the one holding it. He says he's better than Alex and he could beat him anywhere, anyday, anytime.

"Is that what he thinks? He's the one that lost the title to you even with her trying to help him." She scoffs.

"I think all that bleaching went to his brain." Alex chuckles.

"I wouldn't be surprised." She laughs.

"Hmm, to go out there and interrupt him or not." Alex thinks.

"I don't think Mike would mind. He's getting pretty boring with all the nonsense."

"True. Then shall we?" He stands up, holding out his hand.

"We shall." She grins as she takes his hand then stands up.

They then head out of the room and to the curtain. They're handed mics before they play Alex's music to interrupt Dolph mid-sentence. Dolph turns around not looking to pleased that they came out.

"Dolph Dolph Dolph, enough. We're all tired of you boring us to death with same old speech." Alex starts to talk and they stop his music.

"Oh yeah? I'm just telling these people what we all know is going to happen and I will not stop until they get it through their thick skulls. I'm better than you and I'm going to prove it here tonight."

She motions for the mic and Alex hands it to her.

"Yeah that's real tough talk coming from you, when you hide behind well...Vickie Guerrero."

"Excuse me?!" She screeches so loud she is heard without a mic.

"Aww someone can't handle the truth."

"I can." She grabs a mic as well. "You're the one that can't handle that Dolph is better than that...that toy you have there."

"Toy...you mean what you've been treating Dolph like for the past two years?"

"He is not a toy. He is more of a man then that thing every will be."

"Says the one who shelters him. And that thing you're referring to is the United States champion and my boyfriend."

"I do what I have to, to make my client succeed. You don't have to like it, but you have to deal with it. And that boyfriend of yours..." She cackles. "...he's nothing more that something to look at. I wouldn't be surprised if he's cheating on your with the Divas in the back."

"Huh, that's funny. That's real funny. Do I need to bring up your past with Dolph and when he was making out with Kaitlyn...your season 3 NXT rookie inside of an equipment crate?"

"That wasn't what you all think. She came onto to me!" Dolph defends. "You have no idea what you're talking about so do us all a favor and take your pretty boy toy backstage so he can get my title ready for me."

"Yeah, it takes 4 lips to kiss Dolph and two of those were yours and I didn't see you stopping her. Until the cameras caught you."

"I was doing what I had to do. There's nothing wrong with that, just like I'm going to do what I have to later on to get MY title back."

"Really? Is that why you've been flirting with the newest diva Sage?"

"What can I say?" He shrugs with a smirk. "Who wouldn't flirt with that? She's a total babe."

"Excuse me?!" Vickie screeches, but to Dolph this time.

"Busted." She mutters to Alex.

"Sorry Vick. You're my manager. I need someone by my side who can wrestle and looks that good. No offense, but you can't really do that the way Sage can."

She then does the one thing she doesn't do very often to him. She slaps him across the face and yells at him before storming out of the ring, pushing past them, heading up the ramp. Dolph holds his face then glares over at them starting to taunt Alex.

"Oops, did I cause that? I'm sorry." She gives him a mocking smile before handing the mic back to Alex, being done talking.

"You're going down!" Dolph yells, but without the mic since he dropped it when Vickie slapped him.

Him and Alex have a little argument, before the screen for those watching at home fades to the first commercial and during that, the argument stops and her and Alex finally can to the back.

"I can not believe he said that out there." She says once they get backstage.

"I know. But I was paying attention to you while you were going at it with him and Vickie." He smirks.

"Was I really that hot out there?" She returns his smirk.

"Maybe."

"Maybe?" She chuckles.

"Okay so you were."

"Aha. I knew it."

"Can't help it."

"I love when you trash talk. It's a total turn on for me." He adds with a smirk.

"Well, that's good to know."

"There's a lot about you that does that to me. Like this outfit..." He trails off running his fingers over the back of her shirt.

"I already know that." She laughs.

"We should get back. I want to have more fun with this before you change."

"Of course you do."

"Can you blame me?"

"No not really."

"Well then...lets go." He starts to tug her down the hall faster.

"I can only go so fast in heels you know." She laughs.

"Got it covered." He scoops her up in his arms.

She squeaks in surprise and cling to him as he carries her. He heads right for the locker not bothering to stop. Once there, he gets the door open then locks it after it closes. He then heads over to the couch and sits with her still in his arms.

"I'm not moving for a while am I?"

"No you're not."

"Until I have to get changed."

"Right. Until that time, you're all mine."

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

"Good." He mumbles as he kisses across her shoulder to the back of her neck as his fingers run over the slits on the back of her shirt.

When he does that with his fingers, that sends another chill down her spine like earlier today and again she can't help but shiver a bit.

"Love that reaction." He grins as he kisses to the back of her neck.

"Of course you do."

"Never gets old." He does it again getting the same reaction.

"Of course...it doesn't."

"Nope..." He trails off pressing light linger kisses along the back of her neck as he slowly makes his way to the side on her neck.

Instinctively she can't help but to tilt her head to the side to give him more access, but lean into him at the same time. His one hand stays on her lower back as the other moves to her upper thigh. The farther down her neck he goes the more he starts to nip at the skin while gently squeezing down on her thigh.

"Remember...match later..."

"I remember...just having fun..." He lightly nips, just enough to drive her crazy, but not leaving a mark.

She can't help but to grip onto his arm since one of her hands were resting there. He chuckles at her reaction as he slowly goes up her neck to her ear. He nips on that, getting the same reaction before he makes his way across her jawline to your lips. Her instant reaction when he reaches her lips is to wrap her arms around his neck and pull herself closer. His arms get tighter around her making sure to hold her in place. He kisses back with just as much intensity as she is. While they were busy doing that, I was still staring at the screen, in disbelief of what Dolph had said out in the ring about me.

"What the? Did he just?" I stutter from a lose of words as I shudder.

"Do I need to punish him tonight too?" Mike grumbles.

"I just can't believe he said that." I say still in shock. "As for punishment...I think Alex will beat him extra hard tonight."

"He better."

"He will." I nod. "Like he even has a chance with me. He can keep dreaming." I scoff.

"If anyone can say that about you, that only person can be me."

"Exactly. You're the only one I want saying those things about me." I move closer to him. "Guess he's not going to leave me alone anytime soon." I sigh.

"He'll never bother you, as long as I'm around."

"I can hope, but he doesn't care about that."

"Well he's going to have to care."

"I just hope I don't bump into him tonight." I groan. "Tonight is not the night I want to deal with him."

"I'll make sure that you don't bump into him."

"Good." I shift not being able to sit still.

"Can't sit still?"

"No, sorry." I bite my lip. "Just a bit on edge right now."

"Anything I can do to help?"

"Get him off my mind..."

"I think I have the perfect thing." He grins, as he puts his hands on my shoulders and starts to massage them.

"Mmmm...that works." I lazily say letting my eyes fall shut as I lean into his touch.

"I thought it would."

"You and you're amazing ideas."

"I know." He grins.

I start to relax a bit more the longer and harder to massages my shoulders.

"Feeling better?"

"Mhm." I slowly nod.

"Good."

"...don't stop..."

"I won't until you tell me to."

"That might be awhile." I chuckle.

"We have time."

"Mmm...perfect." I let my head fall forward slightly.

At times he presses a kiss to the back of my neck. I smile to myself just focusing on his soothing touches.

"Well I'm glad I decided to do this...you were tense."

"No thanks to 'him'." I roll my eyes.

"Don't think about him."

"Trying not to...it keeps playing over in my mind."

"Well how about this...you think about earlier today at the hotel. You and me..."

I close my eyes, remembering all the fun we had.

"...oh how I wish we can go back to then..." I bite my lip.

"Why go back when it can happen for many days to come?"

"True..." I tilt my head back to look at him. "...you know what would help me now?" I rub my lips together wanting a kiss.

"Say no more." He grins, leaning down and pressing his lips to mine.

I move my arm up, hooking it around his head so I am able to hold him closer as I start to kiss back. I hum softly into the kiss getting more relaxed. He stops massaging my shoulders for the meantime, wanting to focus more on the kiss. I turn to face him so I'm able to kiss him more properly. Since I moved away from him a bit, even though I did not break the kiss, he grabs my hips, pulling me onto his lap. I squeal into the kiss as I wrap my arms around his neck kissing him a bit more roughly. My hands move to his hair where my fingers run through it. He holds me closer, kissing back just as rough. I let one hand fall to the back of his neck where I lightly move my nails across the skin on his neck. That of course earns a quiet growl to come from him and I smirk into the kiss because that's what I was waiting for. I go to do it again until he moves my hands while shifting us so my back is on the couch and he's hovering me, lips still preesed against mine. I whine softly at not being able to touch him since he has my hands pinned above my head.

"No more..." He mumbles.

"Awww...ruin my fun.." I pout.

"You've been having your fun all day."

"I'm just enjoying my birthday present." I smirk.

"So am I."

"Best birthday ever." I grin while trying to get my hands free.

"I would have to agree with you on that one."

"Of course you would."

"Yes, yes I would."

"How much longer until I get my hands back?" I pout with my best puppy dog face.

"Not until I'm done."

"Miiikkke." I whine. "You're killing me here."

"Almost finished."

I groan softly as he leans down laying light kisses along my jawline to my ear. I move my head to the side and no matter what he does, I manage to hold any noises in. This time he allows it because we aren't really in a room with much privacy. I tug at my hands more wanting them free.

"Uh uh...not yet..."

"...uhhhh..." I groan at the torture.

"Patience."

"...have none..."

"...I know."

"...Mike..."

"Hmm?"

"...torture..."

"..it's fun.."

"Yeah...for you."

"Yes...for me."

I shift under him in hopes it will get to him.

"No moving."

"Why not?"

"I can't kiss you properly if you move."

"What are you waiting for then?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all." He grins, moving to the spot on my neck. I squeeze down on his hands as he lightly nips at my skin. A few quite noises escape me, but not loud enough for him. He nips a bit harder in order to get louder noises out of me, intent on making it happen. I tug at his hair more while biting down hard on my lip. As much as I try, I can't help the noises that come from me as he keeps nipping at the spot. The more I make the noises, the bigger his smirk gets against my skin. He chuckles once he pulls away from my neck.

"...evil..."

"You love it."

"I do." I slowly nod. "Hands now?" I look at him through my eyelashes.

"I suppose." He grins, letting me go.

My hands go right around his neck as I start to play with the collar of his suit.

"...finally..."

"I think we may want to move. Looks like the show's back. The last thing we need is someone walking in on us."

"True." I sigh. "Don't need a certain someone seeing anything."

"Right. That'll just give her more to talk about behind your back."

"That's the last thing I need or want right now."

"Right."

"You do have to move so I can get up though." I chuckle.

"Oops. I forgot."

"You always forget." I laugh, giving him one last kiss as we sit up.

"Can you blame me?"

"No, not really."

"I thought so."

I lean into his side as he puts his arm over my shoulders. We turn out attention back to the TV just as the show comes back on. The first match of the night was a boring one technically, so we didn't have to pay much attention at least. That was over fast however. Then yet again Eve was seen backstage, raving about how she's getting her rematch.

"I finally get the chance to get my title back from the wanna-be loser that thinks she's a Diva. Tonight she is going to learn not to mess with me."

"Oh she did not just say that about her."

"I do believe she did."

"Ohh, she's in for it."

"Whatever makes the match better, I'm all for it."

"You know Eve, she has been here for awhile and is really tough. I don't think you're giving her the credit she deserves. I woulnd't underestimate her. I've been in that ring with her many times and she can put up a good fight." Alicia comments.

"Oh please. She just got lucky. There's no way she could possibly beat me for MY Divas Championship."

"She did beat you once or have you forgotten already?"

"All her wins are flukes. I know for a fact that I'm way better than her. And if I play my cards right, her little boyfriend will be mine."

"Oh she did not just go there." I shake my head. "Tonight is going to be even better than I thought."

"I mean, out of all of us, he picks her? She doesn't hold a candle to my beauty. He could do so much better."

"I don't know Eve. She must have something you don't if he's with her. I would just watch your back if I were you."

"I'll be right back." Shauna tells Alex, moving from his lap. "I have a little problem I need to deal with."

Before he could say anything, she's out the door and heading to where Eve is.

"Please. I'm not scared of her. I think I've proven that numerous times before."

"I would be to sure about that..." Alicia warily says as she sees Shauna coming.

"You know this is why you and I don't get along. Now if you don't mind I have a match to prepare for." Eve states, and turns around. But when she does turn around, she stops in her tracks as Shauna's face to face with her.

"Uhhh..." Eve stutters, looking around for a way out.

"Uhhhh...stutter much?" Shauna asks, but she doesn't give her time to response because she grabs her and throw her into a nearby equipment crate. Eve tries to get up to go after her when Shauna goes after her again. She gets her to her feet and grab her by the hair and slam her face onto a nearby table a few times. She lets her fall to the floor, clutching her face. Officials come by to stop the attack, and she just kicks her in the side hard for good measure.

"Just a taste of what you'll get tonight. And you stay away from Alex." Shauna growls, before backing away slowly and then turning around and walking back to the locker room.

"Wow..." I say in shock. "...that was intense."

"Which is why I'm thinking of pushing her up to be the top Diva."

"She really deserves it. Maybe the others will show her more respect after that."

"Well some will, some won't. Comes with the territory of being on the top. I've been there."

"Very true." I nod.

"But she's doing everything that I wanna see."

"That's because she knows what you want and she wants to prove she's the best."

"Just like you."

"Yes. Just like me." I smirk.

"And just a couple more things before the match that Eve thinks she's getting, but really isn't."

"What's that?"

"A segment and a match. Mixed tag team match."

"Ah. Okay." I nod. "Maybe I should go get changed while that's going on."

"That would be a good idea."

"I know you've been waiting all night for me to change too."

"Yes." He nods eagerly.

"I'll go do that then." I laugh. "Don't want to keep the GM waiting." I smirk.

"No, no you don't."

"Alright. I'm going to go do that before I get in trouble."

"You should." He nods as I get up with my bag and head in to change.

Once in the back, I start to take off the outfit I had on then slip on my attire. It doesn't take long for me to do that and after that is on, I make sure my hair and makeup look good before grabbing my boots and sliding them on. After they are on and all laced up, I head back out into the room.

"Just simply amazing." He smirks, looking me over.

"Charmer." I blush as I sit next to him on the couch.

"Always."

"Of course." I giggle since he's being all touchy. "Touchy." I giggle again as I shift in my spot.

"That's your fault."

"Maybe I should change my attire then?" I tease.

"No, don't change."

"Then I can't help that I look good right now." I smirk. "Plus...you did pick out the attire..."

"I did. That is true." He grins.

"So, it's both our faults you so touchy right now."

"I suppose it is."

"Not that I'm complaining..." I lean into him. "...it's helping me relax."

"Good. You should be relaxed."

"I need to be if I'm going to be 'nice' out there."

"Right." He nods.

While we sit there and watch the next match, Shauna just made it back to her locker room.

"I feel so much better after that." She declares, walking in.

"Oh I bet. That was hot." Alex grins. "You should do that more often."

"Well she just hit a nerve, like always."

"She did go to far this time, but you have nothing to worry about. You're the one I want and nothing is going to change that."

"I know and Alicia was right. I do have something she don't have. Everything about me is real. Look at Eve and it looks like she's had plastic surgery."

"I did hear something about her getting some work done. If you ask me, it didn't help her at all. She's nothing compared to you. You're a million times better looking than she is."

"Damn right I am. I mean you see how much she's changed look-wise since she debuted here? There's like no way someone can change that much without having work done."

"She has, but you have nothing to worry about. She's got nothing on you."

"No she doesn't."

"Come here." He motions for her to come towards him. Once she does, he runs his nads up and down her back as he kisses her head, hoping to calm her down a bit.

"She really is dumb if she thinks she has a chance of taking you away from me." She grumbles.

"She really is. No one is going to take me from you...ever."

"I know. Well I suppose I should go get ready now."

"I suppose. I'll be here when you come out." He gives her a kiss making sure it gets her through while she changes.

"Of course. Don't go too crazy without me."

"It's going to be hard, but I'll try."

"As long as you do that."

He slowly lets go of her so she can go get changed.

"I promise I won't be too long."

"Good." He chuckles. "Or I'll come get you." He grins.

"Ooooh so scared." She grins.

"Ha ha. Very funny." He laughs.

"Yes, yes it was."

"Sure it was." He chuckles. "Now go change before I change my mind and take you there myself."

"Oooh even scarier." She laughs.

"That's it." He chuckle as he hoists her over his shoulder, heading back to the changing area.

"Eeep!" She squeals. "But thank you for the view by the way."

"Only the best for you." He smacks her butt. "I'm liking mine too."

"Of course you are."

"So very much." He grins as he makes his way into the changing area.

"Gonna put me down now?" She asks when they walk in.

"In a bit...still enjoying my view." He grins as he stares a bit longer. Once he's looked long enough, he sets her down on her feet.

"Oh you. You and your guy brain." She laughs.

"Can't help if I love ehat I see."

"Touche."

"Now you should get changed."

"Are you gonna get changed? Or will you closer to your match?"

"Hmm...you would like if I did, so..."

"I would."

"Then I'll get changed now too."

"Great."

They get their things then get ready to get changed.

"You promise not to look?"

"Promise."

"And I promise too."

"Alright."

They have their backs to one another as they change. It takes him shorter time to get ready than her, because he has less to put on. He keeps his back to her until she tells him she's done.

"You can turn around now."

"Finally." He grins as he turns around. "Amazing."

"As always."

"Of course." He lets his hands move over her skin. "Just...perfect."

"Only for you."

"Only for me." He looks her over with a grin.

"Others may like this, but you're the only one who gets to touch."

"Damn straight. They can look, but not touch. This is all mine."

"Just like you are all mine."

"Exactly."

"And you have way more for me to touch, than what I have for you to touch."

"How about we head back out there so you can have fun?" He winks with a smirk.

"The best idea you've ever had."

"I'm just good like that."

"Yes, yes you are."

"Well, lets go."

"I know I know, after me." She laughs as she heads out first.

"Most definitely." He inwardly groans as she walks past him.

After she's out the door, he follows. But as soon as she sits on the couch, when he does, yet again he pulls her over onto his lap.

"All the time."

"You're always too far if you're not sitting here."

"Of course."

"I just have to be careful now or it's gonna be a bit awkward sitting here." She adds.

"Just don't move to much and we'll be good."

"Don't cause me to move so much then. Or do anything to me that will cause me to do anything to cause it."

"I'll do my best."

"Because if I turn you on as much as you say I do, then who knows what will happen."

"Things that really shouldn't happen here might."

"Then you'll just have to control yourself."

"You make it so hard to."

"Oops."

"Tease."

"So are you."

"Only because I know how much you love it."

"Likewise."

They turn their attention to the TV when they hear the next match starting. It was semi interesting. Rosa was teaming with Primo and Epico like always and they were facing Tyson, Justin and Natalya. It was a good match that lasted a decent amount of time with Justin and Tyson getting the win.

"A decent match."

"It was."

"I believe the match with Eve is up next."

"Want me to come out there with you?"

"If you want."

"I think you know my answer to that."

"Of course. Let's go."

He nods as she slides off his lap.

"I hope I didn't cause anything, sliding off of your lap like that."

"No. We're good."

"Okay good."

He then stands, putting his arm over her shoulder.

"Now, you have some ass to beat so lets go."

"There's no way she's getting out of this one." She smirks evilly, as they head out of the room.

"Not this time."

"She'll try to run, I know it."

"I doubt..." He lowers his voice. "...Stef will let her get away."

"Neither one of us will let her. She's really got to stop running away from things."

"That just shows how weak she really is."

"I wonder how she's feeling after the pre-match beating I gave her."

"Looks like she's still feeling it." He chuckles as they walk up to see her holding her back.

"Oops. My bad."

"Less work for you both to do tonight."

"Mmhmm. This will be easy tonight."

"Way to easy." He kisses her quick.

It's a bit before the show comes back for the match to start so for now they have to wait. While they're waiting for the show to come back on, Mike and I are getting ready to head there ourselves. He waits until the right moment before opening the door for us to leave.

"By the time we get there, it'll be time to surprise Eve." He grins.

"I so can't wait to see the look on her face when I walk out there." I smirk evilly.

"I've got my phone on me. I think I'll take a picture and tweet it." He chuckles.

"Perfect. Then everyone can see how weak she really is."

"And I thought of a great punishment if she tries to flee the match. She flees, she doesn't get a title shot for a very long time. I strip her of the rematch."

"Ooohhh she is not going to be happy at all tonight. I love that idea."

"I'll make the announcement if and when she tries to do so."

"I have a feeling that will be right after I walk out. She'll be so scared she'll try to run or fake an injury."

"Especially after the attack she suffered."

"I'm just surprised she didn't come crying to you after it happened. That's what shocked me."

"Because she knows I'm watching carefully and heard everything she said to instigate the attack."

"She's so two-faced it's hard to know what personality you're talking to."

"Which is why I'm not gonna be a GM she can manipulate."

"Good. No one should be able to do that you."

Both Eve and Shauna are in the ring, Eve's too busy glaring at Shauna and the title. Mike and I are back behind the curtain and he explains to me that he'll be the one to explain to Eve that she won't be having a title match afterall and he will introduce me as Shauna's partner in the handicap match. I nod as they hit his music and he heads out with a mic in hand causing Eve to look at him confused. Shauna tries her hardest to hide the smile that wants to creep onto her face.

"Eve, there has been a slight change of plans. This isn't going to be your rematch for the title."

"What?! No no no no! You said this was a title match! You can't do that!" She throws a fit.

"I have the authority to change the match if I please. I'm the GM. So here's what you'll be dealing with instead of a title match. A handicap match. And no, it's not you and another Diva being the 2 on 1 in the match."

"No! That's not fair! Why are you doing this to me!?"

"I'm just giving the fans what they want. Now your first opponent is in the ring with you right now. I'd like to introduce your other opponent."

"Who? I can take-" She takes to act tough until she hears my theme go off. As I walk out from behind the curtain, her jaw drops and she tries to find a way out of the ring.

"I'm outta here." She says climbing through the ropes.

"Uh uh uh Eve. I wouldn't do that if I were you. You leave this match, I strip you of your rematch for the Divas Championship."

She looks at him in disblief as she stomps back into the ring. He motions towards the ring and I nod, both of us heading down to it. While I get into the ring, he walks around to be on commentary like last week. After I get in the ring, my music fades again and we decide who goes first.

"I'll let you go first. Get your revenge." Shauna says only for me to hear.

"She's going down." I smirk as I turn to face Eve.

"Yes she is." She grins before moving to the outside of the ropes.

I send Eve a glare as we stand across from each other in the middle of the ring. The ref rings the bell and I go right after her locking up and pushing her back to the corner. The ref starts to count and I let go before he hits five. I back up with my hands in the air and then at the last second, reach out and slap her across the face, and I make sure it's hard. She brings her hand and looks at me in shock as I smirk. Before she has time to do anything, I kick her in the stomach then throw he across the ring where I go after her, jumping on the rope hitting her as many times as I can. The ref starts to count again because I'm using the ropes and I stop before the five count. I pull her away from the ropes to the middle of the ring and go for an early cover. Everything I did wasn't enough, and she kicked out. As I go to get up, she swings her legs around and knocks me off my feet. I hit the mat hard, the falling knocking the wind out of me. Eve then starts to kick me in the ribs multiple times before backing off. She turns around to taunt Shauna before turning back around and picking me up by my hair, throwing me into the opposite corner for now. She climbs to the top where she sits on the top turnbuckle. As I get to my feet, she helps me up more before wrapping her arm around my neck and dangling me from the top where she's sitting. I try using my elbows to break her hold on me, but nothing seems to work. She keeps me in that position for awhile before letting me go. I fall to the mat, trying to catch my breath and I start to slowly crawl over to Shauna.

"Come on, come on!" Shauna encourages, reaching out as far as she could to try and get the tag.

I get inches away from tagging her in until Eve takes my foot and drags me to the middle of the ring. She jumps up trying to come down with her elbow to my rbis. I roll out of the way at the last second and use all my strength to lunge to Shauna, tagging her in before I roll out of the ring to recover. As soon as Eve gets up and turns around, Shauna hits her with a hard clothesline. And she repeats that a few times before hitting her with a standing drop kick that sends her tumbling through the ropes and out of the ring. Eve hits the floor hard, rolling toward the ramp. Once she gets to her feet, she tries to run up the ramp only for Shauna to get out of the ring and drag her back. She throws Eve back into the ring and then proceed to get back into it herself, but she manages to get the strength to get up, though still holding her back, and kick her in the shoulder. She grabs Shauna by the hair and pulls her back in before proceeding to slam her face first onto the mat. Eve then goes for the cover put Shauna kicks out at 2. Eve then helps her sit up and that's when she locks her legs around Shauna's midsection, tightening the hold. Shauna tries every which way to get out of the hold, but nothing is working right now. She tries prying her feet apart, but she hits her in the back a few times so she has to let go.

"Come on! You can get out!" I try encouraging as I hit the steps with my foot trying to get the crowd behind Shauna.

It takes a bit, but Shauna starts elbowing her in the side and then the face. She loses concentration and lets her go. Shauna manages to slide away and recover as Eve tries to recover from the hits Shauna made to her sides and to her face. They get up at the same time and go after each other. Shauna gets the upper hand and force her over into the corner by me then tag me in. As I get in, she kicks Eve in the midsection one last time before getting out. I give her a kick to the midsection before taking her by the back of the head a and slamming her face first into the mat. I do that a few more times before standing back up. I get the crowd going before you go back over to her and pick her up by the hair. That's when I take her and pull her back across my knee, delivering a back breaker. I follow that up with a neck breaker before letting her fall to the ground. I get behind her, circling around her as she slowly gets to her feet. I set her up for my finisher, delivering it perfectly. I then go for the pin, getting the 3 count and winning the match for us.

"Next time, watch what you say or I won't go so easy on you." I growl in her ear before standing up.

Alex comes over with her title before getting into the ring with her. Along with the ref, he helps in raising our hands in victory. We celebrate in the ring a bit more before getting out and heading backstage. Once we get backstage, I'm engulfed in a hug from Mike.

"That was amazing. You really gave it to her."

"Hell yeah I did. No way she was going to say that about me and get away with it."

"Now let's see if she shoots her mouth off again about you." Shauna adds.

"If she does, it'll be way worse for her."

"Depending on which way your character's gonna go. Face or Heel."

"True. I'll think of something if she tries it again."

"If you want an opinion on which way to go, I think you should go the heel way." Shauna suggests.

"You really think so?"

"Oh yeah, after last week seeing your match, you definitely have the attitude for it."

"That is what I was going for when I joined. For some reason, I just can't be nice no matter how hard I try." I laugh at the last part. "What do you think Mike?" I turn to face him.

"I agree with her. I think you would do better in the heel role. Also considering the fact that you have the same attitude as I do."

"I did learn from the best." I smirk. "Modeled everything after you, but in the end it is your decision on what I'll be."

"Right." He nods.

"So...what will it be?" I anxiously ask.

"Well I've had plenty of time to think..despite Cole and his annoying comments on commentary out there. Reviewing last week and this week, and how your attitude is in the ring, I think we should start you off as a heel."

"Cole always seems to ruin things." I roll my eyes. "I think I'm going to like being a heel. More my style anyway."

"I can tell."

"This night can't get much better. Got revenge, I'm going to be a heel. Tonight has been perfect so far."

"Only the best for your birthday."

"I can't thank you enough...well not here." I smirk. "I'll thank you when we get back to the room." I wink.

"Well maybe we should go now then."

"Maybe we should." I lick my lips as I look him over. "We'll see you both later." I say to her and Alex as I start to walk away, making sure to sway my hips a bit more.

"She'll be the death of me." Mike mumbles, before following me.

"Oh boy. I have a feeling they're going to be awhile."

"Good thing she's done for the night."

"A very good thing." She laughs.

Meanwhile, I made it to the locker room before Mike and I was waiting behind the door for him. Once he walks in, he looks around not seeing me.

"Stef? Did you go in and change?" He calls out.

"Nope." I say as I close the door and lock it. "I'm right here." I smirk as I lean my back up against the door.

"Hiding on me."

"Kinda." I grin. "Makes it more fun."

"Of course it does."

"It does." I push myself away from the door as I walk slowly over to him. "Now..." I run my hands up his chest then around his neck. "...to say thank you..." I give him a quick kiss. "...for making me so happy tonight." I grin as I jump up, wrapping my legs around his waist.

He smirks. "I'm always gonna make you happy."

"I'm going to keep showing you how happy I am too." I give him a teasing kiss.

When I go to pull away, he holds me there for longer not being done just yet. His arms slide around my waist, holding me close. My hands go to his hair as he starts to walk toward the couch. He makes sure not to trip on anything as he sits down with me on his lap. I stradle him as I start to put more intensity into the kiss while his hands rest on my hips making sure to hold me in place. To keep himself even more occupied while kissing back, his fingers at times trace patterns along the skin of my hips. I shiver when he does that, arching my back into him more while kissing him harder than before. He then shifts and ends up laying my on the couch, not breaking the kiss. My legs go around his waist while my hands stay in his hair making sure we are as close as we can get. His hands run up my sides to my hair as he holds my head in place. He can sense that we'll need to breathe for air soon, so he decides to take my bottom lip in between his teeth until we catch our breath. I moan softly as I tug at his hair. He does that for a bit longer before kissing me properly again. Once he does, that kiss is more intense then the last. His fingers run through my hair the best they can, and a bit into the kiss, he starts to pull away, but only to move to my neck. And since the match has come and gone, he's able to leave marks this time and he knows that. I tilt my head to the side as I bite my lip. He starts off by lightly nipping at my skin making me moan at the torture. For now he avoids the spot to drive me even more crazy, he nips all around the area in order to do so. I tighten my legs around him as I tug harder at his hair. Then, he only presses a light kiss to the spot, deciding to tease me more. The noises I make only get louder the more he does that. At the last second, with no warning like always, he starts to nip at the spot. I arch my back slightly into him as my hands fall to the back of his neck. I bite down hard on my lip to hold back any noises that may come.

"To make sure...the noises...aren't that loud...muffle them in my...shoulder." Mike suggests.

I nod moving my head up slightly to his shoulder. I let out a few noises, but not loud enough for him.

"You can make louder ones..." He smirks against my skin, nipping a bit harder.

"...making you...work for it..."

"I can go all night."

"So can I." I moan softly.

"Bring it on."

"It's on."

He continues to work on the spot, nipping the best he can do to try and get louder, muffled noises out of me. I try my hardest to keep the noises from coming, but he makes that extremely hard and they come out loud, but muffled into his shoulder. He smirks against my skin and begins to pull away from my neck, satisfied.

"...happy now..." I try catching my breath.

"So am I."

"Of course you are...you got what you wanted."

"Yes I did."

"Dare I ask how big or how many?"

"There's quite a few." He grins.

"Good thing I'm done for the night then."

"A very good thing."

"You've been waiting to do that all night, haven't you?"

"Oh yeah."

"Now you should be good...until I change into my dress I picked out." I smirk.

"Oh really?"

"Mhm." I nod. "I have a feeling you're going to love it."

"I'm sure I will."

"I'll put that on in a bit since you're having so much fun right now."

"Alright." He nods.

"I think you should pay attention to the show." I motion to the TV as a match starts "We missed quite a bit already." I chuckle.

"Oops."

"Uh huh...oops." I laugh.

"Your fault."

"Always is." I giggle.

"It is."

"You love it though." I give him a quick kiss.

"I do."

"Now...how about we watch the show now?"

"We should. Yeah." He nods.

"You need to let me up." I chuckle.

"Oh...right." He shifts so when he sits up I go with him. I squeal as I hold onto neck as he sits.

"One sec..." I shift so I'm facing the TV with my back to him. "...better." I lean against him as his arms go around my waist, resting on my stomach for now.

"Much better." He grins.

"Just try to focus on the show...I think you left enough marks...for now."

"For once I agree."

"Good. More fun later tonight." I smirk.

"I thought so."

"It is your birthday after all."

"And yours."

"I know, but I've had my fun. It's your turn later." I lay my head on his shoulder as I run my hands up his chest.

"Sounds good."

"Thought so." I kiss his cheek before we turn our attention to the TV.

After that match was over, there was a few backstage segments. One where Vickie was complaining to Dolph about how Mike declared that she not be ringside for the match against Alex.

"It's not fair! She gets to be out there so I should be able too!" She complains.

"Yes Vick, I know."

"I think I'm going to say something about it. She should not be allowed out there if I'm not!"

"You go out there with me, Miz will probably most likely come out and make some stupid decision that'll impact me."

"Well I'm going to go talk to him. This is not fair at all."

Before he could even respond to that, she was out the door.

"She's really dumb if she thinks you're gonna change your decision on that."

"She is, but I'm going to have to do something to make her somewhat happy. I just don't know what." He sighs.

"And there are only two ways that'll make her happy. Let her be there ringside or make the decision that Shauna is banned from ringside too. Or maybe just let them go as far as the stage and that's it."

"That's a good idea, but I know Shauna will not be happy at all. I might just have Shauna go out there for commentary and that's it. If she does anything before the match is over she will be ejected."

"Good luck explaining that to Vickie. Let's see how long she can listen to your orders."

"Oh she'll listen or wshe will not be allowed out there for any of his matches on my show. I need Shauna out there for the fact she is Alex's partner and Diva's champion. People will wonde rwhy she is not out there."

"True."

"We'll see how is goes in 3,2..." He points to the door when he gets to one and sure enough, Vickie is there knocking on the door.

"...and I'm not gonna hide this time. We'll just say I was meeting with you about next week's match." I add.

"Right. You're my client so you get to be in here."

"Exactly." I state as I move from his lap.

"Come in!" He calls for her to come in.

She opens the door, walking in huffing.

"We need to talk...now."

"One. Say it nicely. Two. What do we need to talk about?"

"We need to talk...please. And it's about Dolph's match."

"That's better." He grins. "What about his match? Everything is already set for it."

"I really don't think it's fair that I can't be out there."

"Fair to who? Every time you're out there something always happens to where you get involved. That should not happen. I want to see if Dolph has what it takes to make it on his own, not with help from outside. It's not a tag team match so you do not need to be inserting yourself into the matches like you do."

"But Dolph is my client, I need to make sure he does his best every time he's out there. I need to be able to support him."

"I understand that, but you don't see me getting invlved in my clients matches, do you? No. I go out there, observe, but don't get involved. Until you can show me you can do that then you will continue to be banned from going out there with him."

"Then how is it fair that little...wannabe gets to be out there?"

"No she didn't." I grit my teeth.

Mike holds out his arm, stopping me from lunging at her.

"She is is tag partner and Divas champion. She needs to be out there. For one, she has never done anything that you've done. That is why she gets to be out there."

"Well I'm not leaving this room until I get what I want." She crosses her arms over her chest.

"What exactly is it that you want?"

"I want to be out there for the match."

"Well you're not getting it."

"Fine. I'll stay here then."

"Fine by me. This way I know you won't get involved in the match."

"...Mike..." I lowly protest.

"What if I make a promise. You can trust me."

"What promise?"

"If you let me be out there, I promise not to do a thing."

"I don't know..." He starts to think.

"I wouldn't trust her." I comment.

"How about..." He looks from me to her. "...no."

"Oh you're going to agree with the decision of her than agree with me? You're not being a very fair GM. Maybe I should go talk to the Board of Directors about favoritism. And don't think I will? Try me." She threatens.

"She has nothing to do with my decison. My mind was made up when I talked to you at the beginning of the show and I'm not changing it now. It's my decison and what I say goes. You can either deal with it or get out of my office and go home for the rest of the night."

"But just so you're happy. You won't have to worry about her being out there and getting involved. I'm being fair here. I'm only allowing her to be on commentary. She can't get involved." He adds.

"That's...no!" She screeches, throwing a fit.

"Deal with it or go home."

She screeches more trying to get her way.

"God! Will you shut the hell up!" I spit annoyed.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. And you heard him. You deal with his decision or leave. And since you can't seem to deal with it, I think it's time you should go." I stand up from the couch, walking over.

"Who's going to make me? You?" She cackles.

"Yes me." I smirk as I push her toward the door. "Now get out!" I open the door and throw her into the hall before closing the door and walking back over to Mike.

"There." I state. "Gone."

"Damn..." He bites his lip. "...that was totally hot."

"Well she just pissed me off. She's like a bug that won't leave you alone."

"I know and I've never see anyone do that to her before." He grins. "I'm liking your character more and more."

"Well that's a very good thing."

"Yes it is." He grins, putting his arm over my shoulder.

"Now I believe we have a main event to watch."

"We do." He nods. He kisses te top of my head as I lean into him with out attention on he TV.

"I guess commentary is better than nothing." Shauna says as her and Alex head to the curtain.

"Better then not having you out there at all. I guess that's the best he was able do without showing 'favoritism'."

"Right."

"Not that it would matter. You don't do anything wrong out there anyway."

"Of course not."

"You just have more class than she does. Don't have to get involved to have a good match."

"No I don't."

"That's why you're the best." He kisses her cheek. "Now, I believe thre is a match to be won."

"Yes there is."

They get to the curtain just as thet hit Dolph's music. Once his entrance was done and over with, Dolph did the usual trash talk before the match. They've heard enough and stopped it by having Alex's music go off. Dolph looks anything but pleased as they head out and down the ramp. When they reach the ring, Alex has to let her go so that she could go over to commentary. He pulls her to him, giving her a quick kiss before he climbs up on the ring doing all his poses. Of course, going over to commentary, she was greeted as she sat down and put the headset on.

"Ah. The lovely and gorgeous Shauna. Always a pleasure having you join us." Jerry boasts as he's all smiles.

"Always a pleasure to be here."

"The pleasure is all ours." He grins.

"Speak for yourself." Cole mutters.

"I heard that."

"Whatever. Can we just watch this match?" Cole responds annoyed.

"You know what Cole? Maybe this is why you have no friends and no one likes you. You're rude. Do you treat your wife the way you treat us Divas? I didn't think so."

"That's none of your concern and I do have friends. Plenty of them. I just go without the comments tonight. So just sit there and do what you do best. Be pretty." He say with a hint of sarcasm.

"How would you like two more friends..." She motions to her fists. "...connected with your face?"

"Ha! You can't touch me. I'm not a competitor and you'll get in trouble." He smugly says.

"Wanna bet? Keep trash talking. I'll give you something to talk about. Oh wait, you won't be able to if I knock your teeth down your throat."

"That's not very lady like. I'm sure the GM would not be happy with how you're acting right now."

"For your information, I'm not like any other Diva that lets you berate them. Now if you don't mind, I have a match to watch."

"Anything to keep you quiet. Please. Lets get on with the action."

She rolls her eyes and decide against saying something else, focusing on the match which Alex has taken control of for the time being. He has Dolph in the corner and is giving him a few good shots to the head. He pulls him out of the corner, arm locked around his neck before he hits him over the back, making him land face first on the mat. Alex rolls him over and goes for the cover, but Dolph kicks out. She encourages Alex as much as she can despite all Cole's negative comments. She sends him a glare then focus back on the match to see Dolph get up and drop kick Alex.

"Now we've heard time and time again, Dolph Ziggler says that Alex Riley doesn't deserve to hold the United States Championship. What are your thoughts on that exactly?" Jerry asks.

"Well like I said earlier, he hides behind Vickie Guerrero. He relys on her to win matches. Whether it's planned or not. Now look at Alex. I didn't help him win the title, the way Vickie helps Dolph all the time. I let him do things on his own. I'm just here for support. And my support alone is what drives him to win."

"It does seem to work. I always see and hear you cheering for him. That's what they need, not all th esreaming and point out what they're doing wrong."

"Exactly. And if I may say so myself. I think it's a lot better without Vickie Guerrero out here, making our ears bleed with her screeching." She laughs.

"Aint that the truth." Jerry laughs. "Thank the high heavens that she's not out here."

When she looks back into the ring, she sees that Dolph has applied the sleeper hold on Alex and he starts to slowly fade, losing consciousness every second that goes by. She take her headset off so she can call out to Alex.

"Alex...you can do this! Listen to my voice. You can get through this!" She encourages as loud as she can.

After she does that, the crowd starts to chant his name. That gives him an extra boost of willpower and he starts to come back and he backs Dolph into the nearest corner, making Dolph release the hold. He takes Dolph be the back of his head and flips him over his shoulders. He starts to gt pumped the more the crowd chantgs his name and cheers for him. He runs, bouncing off the ropes then coming down on Dolph's chest with his elbow. He then gets ready for his signature move, preying on Ziggler as he gets up. He grabs him around the neck and faceplants him with a DDT. He rolls him over again and goes for the cover, but Ziggler still doesn't give up, kicking out.

"Come on!" She throws her hands in the air. "You almost got him Alex! One more time and you'll win!"

He gets up and moves, standing away from Dolph again. He preys on him once more and waits for him to get up and turn around. Once he does, Alex hits him with his signature spinebuster. He waits for him to get up once more and once he does, Alex gets him on his shoulders and hits him with his finishing move. He goes for the cover quickly and after all that, Dolph couldn't kick out, and Alex wins. She cheers as he celebrates in the ring. She gets his title and climbs into the ring, giving him his title. She raises one of his hands in victory while the ref raises his other hand in victory. Once they release his hands, she of course like always, wrap her arms around him in a hug. He wraps his free hand around her while still holding the title in the air. He kisses the top of her head before they pull away. He allows her to leave the ring first, before he follows. She laces her fingers with his as they walk back up the ramp. They turn around once they reach the stage and see Dolph leaning against the ropes, holding the back of his neck, glaring at Alex. They just laugh before heading backstage and the show ends with that.

"Hopefully that's the last time you will have to deal with him."

"I have a feeling he'll never stop until he's happy."

"I think he just used his last chance he had at facing you. It's time for him to go to the back of the line."

"I agree."

"Now that the show's over...I saw we get out of here."

"Of course after you change of course." She adds.

"I figured that." He chuckles.

They reach the locker room and head in. Since she was already changed and ready to go, Alex was the only one who went into the changing area to get back into his normal clothes. She got all their things together while he was changing so they didn't have to stay any longer. He comes out shortly after all changed and ready to go.

"Everything is set and we can go." She declares.

"Just have to put my gear away and I'm good." He walks over, putting his gear in one of the bags.

"Now I'm all set."

"Alright." She nods and laces her fingers with his.

They leave the locker room after grabbing their things and then they head out to the car. Once there, they put everything in the back before getting in. After they're in, Alex heads back to the hotel. In the meantime, Mike and I start to get our things ready to go as well. Since I had already changed into my dress I planned on wearing, all we had to do was get our bags and we would be all set to go.

"All ready for dinner?"

"Mhm." I nod. "I'm always ready to eat." I laugh.

"Of course."

"What can I say?" I shrug. "I love food."

"Who doesn't?"

"No one I guess."

"Well the ones who really don't eat, don't really love food."

"True."

"But anyways, after you."

"Like always." I chuckle as I head to the door making sure to walk slow while swaying my hips since I know he's staring.

"You always do that."

"You know you love it." I smirk.

"I really do."

"That's the reason I do it."

"Oh, I know."

"You'll get me back for it...you awlays do." I chuckle as I reach out for his hand.

"Yes I do." He grins, taking my hand.

"Tonight should be interesting then." I laugh as we start to head to the car.

"Very."

"Sounds like you already have something in mind."

"Maybe."

"You so do." I laugh.

"So I do."

"You always do."

"You've got that right."

"I have a feeling this is going to be an every night thing with you." I grin.

"Possibly."

"Yep. By that look it's definitely going to be every night."

"You caught me." He chuckles.

"I always do." I chuckle. "You can't hide anything from me."

"No, not really."

"I'm just that good."

"Yes you are."

We make it out to the car without anyone stopping us. Once there, we put our things in the back then get in and head to the place Mike had plannedfor our dinner.

"Alright. I want you to close your eyes. This is a surprise afterall."

"Okay." I close my eyes.

"Almost there."

"I hope. I wanna see where you're taking me." I bounce my leg anxiously.

"You'll see, don't worry."

He puts his hand on my leg to get me to relax. I slowly stop moving my leg as he lightly runs his fingers over my skin. It doesn't ake to long until the the comes to a stop. I hear his door open then close and shortly after that mine opens. I jump a bit, having my eyes closed, but I relax when I feel him grab my hand. I take his hand as he helps me out of the car.

"Keep them closed."

"They're closed." I giggle as he starts to lead me somewhere.

"Good."

"Any hints on where we are?"

"It's a very romantic setting."

"Oh I can't wait. When can I open them?"

"Just about...right...now."

I open my eyes and gasp as I see a table set up with candles on it and low lighting. My favorite flower is on the table and all around the area he rented. Off in the distance was an amazing view a lake with the moon shining brightly on it.

"...Mike..." I say in awe. "...this is...amazing." I gush as I start to tear up.

"I hoped it would be."

"It's perfect." I smile as I turn to give him a kiss. "You didn't have to do all this just for me."

"I wanted to."

"Well, thank you. I love it."

"You're very welcome."

"Dare I ask what you did to get this place for the night?"

"Oh, I pulled a few strings."

"I hope it wasn't to much trouble."

"Oh no, it wasn't. But even if it was, you're worth it."

"Mike..." I blush. "...you're way to good to me."

"Because you deserve it."

"That's what you keep telling me." I blush more.

"It's true."

"You really are the best. I'm so lucky I found you."

"So am I."

"Oh Mike..." I sigh happily. "...this has been the best birthday...ever."

"I'm glad."

"How about we go sit so I can give you what I got you?" I suggest.

"Good idea."

We walk over to the table where he pulls out my chair for me. I sit down as he gives me a quick kiss before going over to his chair. Once he sits, I get the bag with the signed football and slide it across the table to him.

"Now...it's not as big as what you did, but I really hope you like it."

"Anything you give me I'll like." He grins before opening the bag.

"I really hope so."

"Don't worry. I will."

He takes the paper out of the bag then stops once he sees what it is. His eyes get wide and he looks shocked to see what's in the bag.

"How'd you...Stef...how'd you get this?"

"Oh I have my ways." I smirk. "That's not all." I hand him a card that has the tickets in it.

He gives me a grin and reads the front of the card. He opens it to find the tickets before he could read the inside.

"You didn't?" He looks at the tickets shocked.

"I did." I chuckle. "See where they are?"

"No way!"

"Mhm." I nod. "50 yard line. Only the best seats for you."

"This is amazing."

"I figured since we're in Cleveland next week we could go to the game on Sunday. It was to good to pass up."

"Of course."

"I love it." He adds.

"I was hoping you would."

"This really has been the best birthday ever...for both of us."

"That it has been. Best day ever."

"Perfect ending."

"To a perfect day." I finish.

"Exactly."

"And it's not over yet." He grins as he reaches in his pocket.

"It's not?" I look at him confused.

"Nope."

"You're just full of surprise, aren't you?"

"Yes I am."

He grins as he hands me a long, rectangle shaped box. I look up at him before opening up the box. I bite my lip as I get tears in my eyes once I see the silver infinity necklace he got me.

"...Mike..." I gasp in awe. "...I-I love it."

"I knew you would."

"I do have something else." He takes another small box out of his pocket. He moves his chair closer to me and takes my hand.

"Mike..." I bite my lip.

"Shhh..." He softly says. He opens the box and once I see what is inside makes me cry. It's a beautiful infinity ring with diamonds outlining it.

"I got you this because you mean everything to you me and I want you to know that I will not stop caring about you. Since I've met you, I've been nothing but happy. You're everything I was looking for and more. This ring is my promise to you that I will always be there for you and you'll be in my heart forever. What I'm trying to say is..." He pauses as he wipes a few tears from my face. "...I love you Stef. So much. I've never felt as happy as I am then when I'm with you."

"Oh Mike..." I cry happy tears. "...you're so good to me that I never knew what it was like to feel this way. You're truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you too."

"That's a relief, because I've wanted to tell you for so long. I've felt this way since I met you. So yeah it's the whole love at first sight thing. I just wanted to get a relationship with you and wait a bit into it before telling you."

"You have?" I ask shocked. "Honestly, I've had a crush on you forever, but I never thought I would have a chance with you. When Shauna told me I was going to meet you, I was so happy. All the feelings I had became so real. So, basically, I've felt the same way for a long time."

"Well now I know about that and now you know how I've felt since we met."

"I do and I can't believe this is all happening. It all feels like a dream."

"And as I've been telling you, it may feel like a dream, but it's not."

"I know, but I never thought this would happen. It really is a dream come true for me."

"Well they do say dreams can come true."

"True, but this is one I never thought would."

"Well I'm happy that it did for you."

"Same for you. I'm just happy I'm what you were looking for." I blush slightly.

"Out of every Diva in the locker room, none of them compare to you. You're different than all of them and that's what makes you what I was looking for."

"I'm glad to be different. That's what makes someone unique. I do not like being like anyone else."

"And you shouldn't be anyone but yourself, which you are...yourself."

"I'm just glad that you like how I am. That's the biggest relief of all."

"Well of course I would like how you're always yourself."

"You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that."

"I have a pretty good idea." He grins.

"I would hope so." I chuckle. "My makeup is probably a mess right now." I wipe my eyes as I turn away from him.

"Unless you have the waterproof, then I think it's perfectly fine. You don't need makeup to look beautiful to me anyway."

"Mike..." I tear up again. "...there you go being all sweet again."

"I'm nothing but sweet and what I said was the truth."

"Yes, you are." I move over giving him a quick kiss.

"If wanna fix your makeup you can go ahead. I won't order anything until you come back."

"Okay. I'll be right back." I grab my clutch then head into the bathroom to touch up my makeup. Once I get in there, I fix any running makeup then add some new. I take out the necklace Mike just gave me and put that on. I look at myself in the mirror and can't help but to smile. I run my fingers over the neckalcem just admiring it before I finish up and head back to the table.

"Necklace looks better on you than I imagined."

"It really does. I could not stop looking at it. It's so beautiful."

"Just like you."

"Not as good looking as you, but I try."

"Right. So dinner now?"

"Of course." I nod as I sit.

"Get anything you want. Money is not an issue tonight."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Alright...if you insist."

"I do." He nods.

I smile over at him before looking over the menu. Since everything looks so good, it takes awhile for me to decide. Once I'm done, I set the menu on the table and he motions for the waiter to come over. First of course for drinks he orders wine, and then he gives the waiter his food order and then I give him mine. The waiter goes to put in our order then comes back shortly with our drinks.

"You really want tonight to be special, don't you?"

"I really do."

"You're doing a good job at that. All I wanted was to spent the night with you, but you outdid that."

"You deserve everything and then some."

"That's what you keep telling me, but as long as I have you...I already have everything and then some."

"I'm still going to continue to give you whatever you want."

"Right now, I already have everything I want." I put my hands on his. "You're all I could ever ask for."

"And you're all I could ever ask for as well."

I smile and blush as he takes my hands in his. He draws circles on the back of my hand before he reaches over the table giving me a soft kiss.

"Now this is the best birthday ever."

"I couldn't agree more."

"Think we can top this next year?" He chuckles.

"I don't know how, but I'm sure we'll find a way."

"We'll have to wait and see."

"Mhm. Plenty of time to plan."

"More than enough time for sure."

"True." I take a sip of my drink. "Wow...this is really good."

"Only ordered the best."

"I see that. It does taste really good."

"Well that's good. I would hope that it tastes good."

"It's the best I've had. That's for sure."

"Gonna have to get it every time we go out then...depending on the restaurant we go to."

"Hopefully they have it. This is my favorite one by far."

"If they don't, I'll go out and buy it just for you."

"I can actually see you doing that too."

"I would."

"I would do the same for you too."

"Of course."

"If the wine is this good, I can only imagine how good the food will be."

"I'm sure it's gonna be amazing...and speaking of.." He trails off as the waiter comes back with the food.

"Oh it does look and smell good." I mention as the food is placed in front of us.

"It really does." He nods.

We thank the waiter as he leaves then we start to eat.

"Oh...my...god..." I moan as I take a bite. "...this is amazing."

"I chose a good place to eat then."

"That you did. Best food ever."

"We'll definitely come back here when we're in town again."

"Good. This place is the best I've eaten at so far."

"I'm glad."

We continue to eat, trying a bit of each others food. Once we get done eating, we just sit there talking as we finish the wine and enjoy the time we have. We stay there until the waiter comes with the bill and also tells us that it's getting close to closing time. Mike nods then pays the bill. We get up to gte our coats before we head out to the car. I lean into his side as we walk since his arm is over my shoulder.

"Well it's officially tomorrow. No longer our birthdays." He says as he checks the time and it's well past midnight.

"Oh darn." I frown. "Still have next week though. I have another surprise for you then too."

"Oh really?"

"Mhm." I nod with a smirk. "Have to wait to find out what it is though. Only hint...it's another birthday gift."

"Belated birthday gift...hmm...I can't wait."

"It'll be worth the wait. Trust me."

"I'll always trust you."

"Just like I'll always trust you."

"As you should."

"I have no reason not to."

"Exactly." He says, opening my door for me.

"Thank you." I smile, giving him a quick kiss as I get in.

"You're very welcome."

He closes my door then goes over to the other side. Once he gets in, he starts the car and heads to the hotel. On the way back, I start to doze off, but try to fight it. I must have fallen asleep because next thing I know, I'm being lifted out of the car.

"It's ok...I've got you. We're back at the hotel. Once you're settled in bed, I'll come back down for our things."

"...okay..." I mumble as I wrap my arms around his neck, moving closer to him.

He walks into the lobby of the hotel and over to the elevators. He presses the button to go up and after a few moments the doors of one elevator open and he steps in. After stepping in, he presses the button for our floor and we soon head up. Once on our floor, he heads to the room. He gets the door open with little truoble then walks in and lays me on the bed.

"Want me to pick out something for you to change into?"

"...mhm..." I nod lazily my eyes slightly open.

He goes over to my things and looks through for something comfortable for me to wear. Once he finds something, he comes back over to me. I take the nightgown he gave me and start to take off my dress. Since I'm so tired, I really do not care that he's looking. I kick my shoes off and let my dress fall as I pull the nightgown over my head. I slowly move up to the pillows, waiting for him to come back from the car. He grabs everything, from the gifts to the gear bags. He then goes back into the hotel after locking the car and heads back to the room. Once he gets to the room, he sees my cuddling with his pillow. He chuckles to himself as he starts to get changed out of his suit. When he gets done, he puts his clothes along with mine back with our things before coming over to the bed. He pulls the covers down then gently moves me so I'm under them, but laying on his chest. As soon as I feel his warmth, I instantly more closer to him. He smiles and kisses the top of my head, watching me sleep for a while.

"Goodnight Stef." He says quietly before drifting off to sleep himself.

Alex and Shauna in the meantime have been in their room for quite some time already, because they were too caught up in the video game they were playing, because she was confident that she would beat him in his own game.

"You're not going to beat me this time. I own this game."

"Uh huh. Suuure." She says as she munches on the snacks she got from the vending machine in the hallway.

"I'm going to win. I can feel it."

"Riiight."

"You'll see. I'm about to get a touchdown right now." He grins.

"We'll see about that."

"Oh! So not fair!" He whines since she stopped him from scoring.

"That's totally fair."

"I'll score. Watch me."

"Well you have a second chance now..."

"I do and I'm going to get those points."

"Maybe...maybe not."

"Watch me." He says as he tries to score only to have her stop him again.

"Oops."

"How come I never knew you could play this good?"

"Just something I've been hiding."

"What else are you hiding from me?" He chuckles.

"Nothing."

"Just that I'm the only girl to beat you at your own game." She smirks.

"Game's not over yet." He nudges her trying to make her lose focus.

"Ohhh, you wanna play that way do you? Well, two can play at that." She grins, leaning back a bit so she could visibly see his tattoo. She smirks before lightly tracing it with her finger, trying to make him lose focus. He twiches slightly as her fingers light move over his skin. A slight growl comes from him as he drops the controller, losing the game.

"Oh, look at that...I won." She grins, quickly retracting her hands and acting like she did nothing before he comes to, and focuses again.

"You're...so going to...pay for that..."

"Pay for what? I didn't do anything."

"Suuure. Act all innocent now."

"Honestly I did nothing."

"No?" He turns to face you. "Then why are you smirking and why is my controller on the ground, hmmm?"

"Um..." She trails off, covering her mouth with her hand to hide the smirk, and she says she's not smirking, but it comes out mumbled.

"What was that?" He moves closer to you. "You hand was covering up your smirk."

She just shakes her head, trying to hold in the laugh that wants to get out. He moves even closer to her, trying to move her hand. Since she won't move her hand, he leans down just hover his lips over her neck. She shakes her head more when he stays that way for a while.

"This is one game I will win." He smirks as he lightly nips at her neck.

She still refuses to move her hand, but what he's doing right now isn't quite enough for noises just yet. He takes his time, nipping a bit harder. He feels her tense up as he grazes over the spot on her neck. He grabs her hips then shifts so she's sitting on him. His hands stays on her thigh as he start to nip a bit more harder then before. She has no choice but to free her hand from covering her mouth so that she could wrap both arms around his neck to hold him closer. He smirks against her skin as he start to get closer to his favorite spot. She prepares herself for it as she hides her face in his shoulder. He lightly kisses around the spot just to torture her more. He does that a few times before going after the spot. Her one hand that had moved to his hair had gripped it and a few moments after he had went after the spot, he smirked against her skin again after noises are muffled into his shoulder. Since he was satisfied with the noises, he pulled away to see a small mark starting to form. He then slowly started kising across her jaw before ending at her lips. She can't help but kiss him back eagerly. She makes sure to make it last a long time before pulling away.

"So I did distact you, so I could win the game."

"Aha! I knew it."

"You started it with nudging me to try and make me lose focus."

"It was the only thing I could think of."

"So was what I did."

"I guess we're even now."

"We are." She grins, before taking a glance at the time. "And it's late." She points to the clock that says it's well near 2am.

"So it is." He chuckles. "Time flies when you're having fun."

"Mhm. About 2 1/2 hours."

"That's all? Seems shorter than that."

"I know right?"

"But, I'm guessing you want to go to bed now." He pouts.

"Well it is getting late. So you're right."

"Figured." He holds her tighter as he gets up still holdin onto her.

"Shut the game off? Did you forget to do that?"

"Right." He goes over to where the game system is with her still in his arms. He shuts the game and TV off before heading to the bed. He places her on the bed first, before climbing onto it next to her. But he doesn't let her go for long, as he pulls her over so that she's laying on top of him like he's gotten used to doing lately.

"Now this is a prefect way to end the day."

"Well technically end one day and begin another, but I get what you mean."

"Right."

"Surprised you didn't too touchy, because of what I chose to wear to bed."

"I was saving it all for the right moment." He grins as his hands start to wander all over.

"Which may have to wait, because it's late and I want some sleep...touchy."

"You can sleep while I do this. It usually helps you sleep anyway."

"True."

He rests on hand on her waist as he moves his fingers lighly while his other moves up and down her back. Before she knows it, it starts to work. Her eyes were already closed so all it took was the soothing feeling to put her to sleep. Once he notices her brething changed, he looks down to see her fast asleep. He kisses the top of her head then moves his arms so he can hold her closer. He watches her sleep for a bit with a smile before he goes to sleep himself.
