Career Choices…With Dad
Chapter 25
"Dad, can I talk to you?" Lily asked shyly as she leaned on the door to her father's locker room.
It had been almost a month since Lily and John had gotten back together and she still had not told her father. Stephanie had ended her storyline with Dave so he could move on to another Number one Contender and Lily was preparing to move back to Raw to challenge for the Women's Championship. Now, her father looked up at her, surprised that she was there.
"Lily, yeah, come in," he beckoned her into the room.
She slowly moved into the room, taking a seat next to him on the bench. He draped his arm around her shoulders, kissing her head with a smile.
"What's bugging you?"
"Dad, I just wanted to tell you that I'm with John and I'm going to stay with John. I'm going back to Raw too. I should have told you sooner but this is my lst show on SmackDown."
Glenn laughed, a low deep sound that used to scare Lily when she was younger, "Lil, as long as your happy. You're a grown woman and you can make your own decisions. I'm glad you told me though. Good luck on Raw."
Lily smiled and nodded, "Thanks Dad. Could you tell Uncle Mark for me? I have a match next and then I'm leaving. I won't have time to explain."
Glenn nodded and Lily jumped to her feet. She moved to the door but Glenn called her back. "Lily, what about Dave?"
She shrugged with a small smile, "Well, turns out him and Kayla have a lot in common. They're head over heels for each other and she moved in with him lat week."
"I see," Glenn nodded. "I'm glad this is all worked out now. Well, I'll see you when I see you. Good luck, honey."
Lily beamed, hugging him one last time before bounding out of the room to get ready for her match. As she made her way down the hall she bumped into Dave, who was just coming back from the ring. He flashed a small smile at her and she waved politely.
"Hey, Lil," he said, stopping her.
"Hi Dave, you look great," she smiled, adjusting his collar. "How are you and Kayla doing?"
"Good, we're good. I bought her a puppy for out one month anniversary," Dave chuckled. "I'm assuming you're leaving after tonight?"
Lily looked down at her hands and nodded, "Yep, I'm going back to Raw for now. I figured it would be better to be with John and I have a title opportunity against Mickie. This should really get my career going."
"That's great, hey, I'll see you next week, Kayla has a little get together planned for the four of us," Dave said, pecking Lily on the cheek.
"See you then!" she waved and moved into the Divas locker room to change.
Lily pulled on her ring attire, a black halter top with flames around the bottom and a black multi length skirt, flames around the hem. She then pulled on her boots and headed to the curtain for her entrance.
"Introducing first, from the deepest circles of Hell and daughter of the Big Red Monster Kane, PHEONIX!"
Lily walked out onto the ramp to the roar of the crowd. She smiled and waved as she made her way down the ramp, picking up the mic that was waiting for her. She held up her arms and brought them down, setting the ring posts aflame to cheers from the crowd.
"Well, you all are probably wondering why I'm out here with a mic, I usually don't talk much, but today is important. Today, this very moment, is my last match here on SmackDown and I want to thank all of you fans for cheering me on through my many matches. Thank you!."
The crowd roared their approval and Lily handed the mic to one of the crew. Jillian's music hit and she flaunted down the ramp in all her fakeness. Lily set her face and glared at her as she climbed into the ring. At first it looked as if the match was going to go as usual but Lily chose to startle her opponent as she stood be the ropes. Lily speared her through the middle rope, landing on top of her outside the ring on the mats.
Jillian screamed as Lily punched her face in, the ref having to pull her off and drag her into the ring. He signaled for the bell to ring and Lily grabbed a handful of Jillian's hair as she screamed and rammed her face into the turnbuckle, only stopping when the ref began to count. Jillian smacked Lily across the face, making her even angrier. She punched her in the face, pushing Lily to her limit.
"Bad move, bitch!" Lily growled and hit her with a standing hurricanrana. Jillian lay sprawled on the mat but Lily did not spare her for a minute. She grabbed her throat, pulling her to her feet.
The crowd went wild as Lily hoisted Jillian up into the air and hit the Chokeslam from Hell. Lily grabbed Jillian's leg and pulled it up, putting all her weight on her chest. The ref slid down for the count and the bell rang, signaling the win for Lily's last match.
"Thank you!" Lily smiled as the ref held her arm up in victory. "Thank you so much!"
Lily jumped from the apron and she grabbed her mic, rolling back into the ring. The crowd cheered as she caught her breath from the match, Jillian being helped up the ramp by the ref.
"Thank you all so much," she smiled. "I just wanted to thank my Dad and my uncle, you know, Kane and Undertaker, for supporting me while I was here. And I'd especially like to thank Dave Batista for just being the perfect gentleman that he is."
The crowd went crazy at the mention of Dave, a large group of them chanting his name. Lily laughed, her breath still heavy from the match.
"What? You want him to come out?" she asked.
There was a roar from the crowd, making her laugh.
"Okay then, Dave, why don't you come out to please the fans," Lily called.
There was silence for a moment before Dave's music blasted and he strode out onto the ramp to the approval of the fans. He smiled, adjusting the sunglasses he was wearing, and made his way to the ring. Lily laughed when he let her hold his title and the crowd began to chant their names.
"Well, I'm here!" Dave smiled.
"One last kiss!" the crowd chanted, making Lily blush furiously.
"Are you sure?" Lily asked.
The fans roared again and she looked up at Dave with a shy smile.
"Before any of that happens lets hear it for the future Women's Champion," Dave said, avoiding Lily's eyes as her fans cheered.
"One last kiss! One last kiss," rang throughout the arena as the fans got rowdy.
Dave laughed and looked down at Lily. He took off his sunglasses and she shrugged, kissing him to please the crowd. The roar was deafening as Dave kissed her, his tongue slipping into her mouth for the extra affect. When they pulled away Lily's cheeks were bright red.
"How's that for you all, huh?" she laughed.
"Thank you, Phoenix!" the fans chanted and Lily bowed.
Dave pecked her on the cheek and left the ring to Lily.
"No, thank you!" she laughed. "Thanks you all so much, now I have to go!"
The crowd cheered on last time as Lily disappeared behind the curtain and she smiled, knowing that kiss was something that would be remembered in SmackDown history. Dave winked at her as she made her way back to the locker room to leave and she laughed.
"Kayla's going to kill me," she said.
"John's going to kill me," he laughed.
"Guess we're even. See you later," Lily beamed and slipped behind the door of the Divas locker room to change back into her tank top and jeans.
She grabbed her bags and headed out to her car, receiving hugs from everyone from her uncle to Jillian and Krystal. By the time she got to her car she had tears streaming down her cheeks, her make-up smudged. She took a deep breath, calming her nerves, and started the car only to hear the shrill ring of her cell phone in her bag.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe," John's voice greeted her.
Lily smiled, wiping the last of the tears from her cheeks, "Hi John."
"That was the best exit I've ever seen. You did great, hun," John complimented.
"Aw, thank you. I'm actually on my way to the airport to meet up with Raw on Thursday. I thought you'd be upset that Dave and I kissed again."
John scoffed, "Of course not, you and Dave had a storyline and the fans wanted to see their favorite couple one last time. It was cute and I know you love me with out doubt know so it was fine. You did great."
Lily felt another wave of tears and sniffed, "God, I love you so much."
"I love you too, hun. Listen, I'm staying at the Hilton. When you come to town, you can room with me, okay? I have a surprise for you."
"John, you know I hate surprises," Lily whined.
"You'll like this one, I promise," he grinned.
"Okay, I'll call you when I get in."
"Alright, babe. See you."
"Bye."
Lily flipped her phone shut and sighed, pulling out of the parking lot and heading to the freeway to go to the airport, her thoughts mulling over her last night on SmackDown and the surprise John had for her on her first night back on Raw.
