Chapter 25
"Hey, Taylor." Dolph looks up at her as she comes out from the bathroom with shorts and a t-shirt on.
She sits next to him but doesn't say anything.
"I'm sorry about making you mad earlier. I just didn't want talk about it and create any drama." He says while playing with her hair.
"It's fine. I didn't have to be so nosy." She kicks her feet around.
"You weren't being nosy, Nikki is nosy." He turns her face so she's looking at him and pecks her on the lips. "God, how could I ever get mad at you?"
She goes over to the head of the bed. "Because you're an idiot." She smiles and gets under the blankets.
"Is that so?" He goes over next to her.
"It is." She smiles.
He crawls under the blankets and kisses her, while she giggles.
The Smackdown taping is underway and Taylor prepares for her match with AJ. She's stretching when John wonders in the room.
"Have you seen Alice?" He looks at Taylor.
She stops stretching and looks up at him. "Does it look like I seen your crazy girl?"
"No need for the pissy attitude." He snaps back. "I actually want us to be good friends and all."
"Oh really." Taylor gets up and stretches her arms. "Well Alice does not want to be friends, so yeah."
Dolph comes in. "What the hell are you doing? Are you bothering her?" He looks at John sternly.
"I'm not bothering anyone." John gives Dolph a dirty look and adjusts the title on his shoulder.
"My hair needs to be curled and I'd like some time with Dolph." She looks at John annoyingly.
John puts his hands up in front of him before leaving.
Taylor sits down as the stylists go to work on her hair.
"What did you say?" Dolph comes up behind her.
"He just said we wanted to be friends." Taylor waves it off.
"To hell he does." Dolph puts his hands on his hips and Taylor giggles.
"What's funny?" He looks down at her.
"Nothing, just nothing." She smiles at him through the mirror.
"Good luck in your match with crazy."
"No luck needed. I can take her." Taylor smiles.
"Confidence is key." Dolph kisses her on the cheek and sits on the couch.
When her hair is done, he walks with her to gorilla.
He strokes her cheek and kisses her. Her music hits and he slaps her butt before she goes through the curtain.
She runs down and ramp and stops to take a quick picture with a fan. She slides in the ring and jumps up on the turnbuckle, pointing to the audience. She jumps down as AJ's theme hits. She puts her hands on her hips and waits for AJ to skip down to the ring. AJ gets in the ring and goes for Taylor. Taylor jumps in the air and dropkicks AJ in the back, making her fall. Taylor sits on AJ's back and grabs her throat. AJ grabs the rope and the ref yells for Taylor to get off. AJ does a spinning kick and Taylor falls to the mat. AJ climbs on Taylor and begins to pull her hair and slam her head to the mat. She screams, like the crazy chick she is. She crawls off of Taylor and throws her hair back. She climbs to her feet and throws Taylor into the turnbuckle. She runs at her and Taylor puts her elbow up, knocking her in the face. Taylor backs up and does a head stand, wrapping her legs around AJ's head, she twists her body around and does a whirly bird head scissors. The crowd gets loud and Taylor's claps her hands. That's when Alice's theme hits. Taylor turns around to see Alice walking to the stage. Alice waves at Taylor. Taylor glares at her and AJ sneaks up and pins Taylor with a roll up pin. AJ laughs and points at Taylor. Taylor crawls over to grab her and she slides out of the ring. She laughs again and skips back up the ramp. Taylor runs a hand through her hair. Alice laughs too and disappears.
"That was so not part of the script!" Taylor kicks a near by trash can backstage.
"It's alright love. You'll get her next time." Layla assures her best friend.
"Screw next time." Taylor laughs and shakes her head. "Alice is gonna get it this Sunday. And crazy will get hers when it's time."
Layla wraps her arm around Taylor's shoulder and they walk back to the locker room.
"Nice tribute to Trish." Nattie smiles, referring to the whirly bird Taylor did on AJ. "And about Alice-"
Taylor puts her hand up to stop Nattie. "Don't you even dare. Do not apologize for her again. She'll get it at Royal Rumble."
Nattie smiles a bit. "I may be her friend but I agree she needs to be knocked down to sanity."
"I agree as well." Layla gives Taylor's arm a squeeze and goes to sit on the couch.
"Now I can't wait for this pay-per-view. Ugh Sunday needs to like, hurry!"
"Patience," Nattie laughs. "it goes a very long way."
Taylor sits on the bench. She kicks her feet up and down. "Idea, give me ideas."
"Ideas on what?" Layla chirps.
"Something to do." Taylor giggles. "Like right now, or later."
Layla turns to Taylor. "We could talk about Dean." She smirks.
"Fuck no. No thanks." She smiles at Layla, who frowns.
"Dean? Ambrose?" Nattie looks between the two.
"Nice Layla." Taylor shakes her head.
Layla starts laughing. "She used to date Dean!"
"No!" Nattie looks at Taylor wide eyed. "You never told me!" She sits beside Taylor.
"Miss El is making it a bigger deal than what it is." Taylor glares at Layla. "Really we dated for two years while we were in development and that was that."
"Have you guys talked since then?" Nattie looks at Taylor.
"They have!" Layla giggles. "They talked yesterday.
"Thanks Layla." Taylor says annoyed.
"I love you too." Layla sticks her tongue out.
"Does Dolph know?"
"He sure does. Told him all about it."
"Was he jealous?" Layla asks.
"Why would he be jealous?" Taylor looks at Layla.
She shrugs. "I have no clue. You and Dean dated for two years."
"Well Dean hasn't tried anything so that's good. He doesn't even know why I dumped him."
Nattie looks surprised again. "He doesn't?"
"Nope. I dumped him because he was so successful and I wasn't going anywhere in my career. I felt I was holding him back. I just lied and told him I was moving back home to Louisiana and I didn't think long distant was good." She shrugs.
Layla sits up. "You lied!"
"Keep your voice down!" Taylor snaps.
"Why didn't you just tell him the truth?" Nattie looks at her.
"I don't know. Because he would've laughed at me with that stupid cocky grin of his and told me I was being silly. I was really important in his life. I couldn't tell him I was leaving because he was more successful than I was." She stands up. "It doesn't matter anymore because I'm with Dolph." She lies her arms across her chest. "And you two better not try to go and do some further research." She looks back and forth from Layla to Nattie.
"You have my word." Nattie says.
Taylor looks at Layla who giggles. "I won't say a thing!"
"Good." She smiles and goes to change.
Layla stays in the room and Nattie leaves.
Boredom hits Taylor after she changes and she gets her phone out and checks Randy's twitter and sees a couple of tweets.
"Enjoying time with the family but missing all the in ring action." One tweet reads.
Another one reads, "Missing someone special..."
Taylor studies the tweet and thinks, "Alice?" She laughs out loud and Layla looks at her.
"What's so funny?" Layla looks at her weirdly.
"Nothing. Just reading some jokes." Taylor lies.
"Of course it's not Alice. But who then?" She sighs and puts the phone in her pocket.
Nattie decided to wonder around. After a while, she hears two people talking. She hides behind a wall and listens.
"So nobody knows right? I mean, no one assumes it's me. They wouldn't believe it anyway." What sounds like a guys voice says.
"Yeah, you made me do it. Why couldn't you just do it your damn self. All you did was turn off the lights down that hall." Says another guy.
"Because who would believe that the face of the company attacked Randy? No one! And you're the perfect man to play the attacker."
"Oh yeah. And why the hell is that?"
"Well because, Randy is always pushing up on Taylor, I know it annoys you. That's your girl and he should respect that. Too bad he doesn't. Didn't it feel good to put him out for almost a month."
The guy chuckles. "It felt pretty good."
Nattie cups her hand over her mouth and dashes down the hall. She runs until she finds the nearest person she trusts, which is Kaitlyn.
With wide eyes, she grabs onto Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn giggles. "What is the matter with you? Your eyes are gonna pop out of your head."
"Dolph did it." She shakes Kaitlyn.
"What, what he do?" Kaitlyn looks at Nattie curiously.
"Him and John attacked Randy! We have to tell Taylor." Nattie goes to find Taylor.
Kaitlyn grabs her arm. "We can't do that."
Nattie looks at her. "Why can't we?" She looks worried.
"Well what if you tell her and she thinks you're lying?"
"She won't think I'm lying, will she?" Nattie looks horrified.
"She might."
Nattie sighs. "What are we going to do?" She looks at Kaitlyn.
"Maybe we could tell Randy. Wait, I got it!" Kaitlyn pulls Nattie into an empty room.
Nattie smiles at what Kaitlyn is filling her in on.
Ahh I can't tell you what Kaitlyn said but chapter 27 is going to be so GOOD!(:
