I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Julie's Point of View-
I gave Drew a slight smirk before I grasped the strap of my bag before I headed down the hall with him nearby.
"I was thinking if we drive through the night again tonight, maybe you and I can pull off again as those two sleep and you can help me with the night shots…" Drew said.
"Sounds good…" I said smirking, "You'll have to use the flash though and that may limit the color effects you can apply to it until you upload it at least." I said.
"Editing, how do you do that?" Drew asked.
"You aren't that stupid Drew…" I said.
"Maybe I am." He said smiling as he pulled the door open to the room that was labeled office as I slowly slid into the room seeing a few of the people that I have met once before in there.
"Just in time…you know where Drew-oh, never mind…." Hunter said as he stood from the desk walking around and greeted me with a hand shake and shook Drew's hand after letting mine go.
"Why does Drew need to be here?" I asked looking from Hunter to Drew as I pointed back to him with my thumb.
"We'll get to that, take a seat you two." Hunter said as he pulled out the two empty folding chairs between the crowded desk of Hunter, the one wardrobe employee and the rest I assumed are other people that are important in developing a character or storylines. I slid into the one seat setting my bag between my feet as Drew claimed the seat next to me feeling him rest his arm on the back of my chair. "You bring your contract?" Hunter asked.
"Yes sir…I haven't signed it yet because wasn't sure if I had to sign it in your presence." I said.
"Goody tissues." Drew mumbled as I nudged him.
"Here's a pen so sign away as we discuss our plans…" Hunter said as he handed me a pen that he scrambled around his desk for and I pulled out my contract from my bag flipping it to the last few pages to sign as I listened to them discuss how they want to put me and Drew together as a team, more like me as a valet and randomly do mixed-tag matches and vice versa where I may do solo matches as well and Drew will accompany me. They then further discuss who we will mainly wrestle if we were to do mixed tag matches, names such as Rosa and Primo or Epico or Zack Ryder, which was odd, and Beth and Santino came up mainly.
"Sounds good thus fair…" I said nodding as Drew agreed.
"We are kind of thinking and hoping on having you two as a romantic couple, which means you will have to hold hands and kiss on the television broadcasts along with at house shows, also means you two are going to have to travel together probably separate from your brother and Stephan if possible along with the possibility of getting a room together to kayfabe this." Hunter said as I almost choked on my spit and Drew chuckled.
"You want him and I to be an item?" I asked.
"Is that a problem?" He asked as I looked to Drew.
"I think I will get sick from his cooties." I said.
"I got all of my shots, I promise Jules." Drew said.
"Shots doesn't mean I still won't vomit a little in my mouth every time Scots." I said.
"That's it." Hunter said.
"That's what?" I asked.
"You two will be named the Scots." Hunter said snapping his fingers as everyone nodded in agreement mumbling to each other in agreement.
"Honestly?" I asked.
"Why not? Can you do a Scottish accent?" Hunter asked.
"That's not the point." I said.
"Just do it." Drew said as I gave him a dirty look and shocked he was actually going along with this idea that they wanted us to be a couple.
"I can speak in a Scottish voice, happy?" I asked doing my best Scottish accent.
"Perfect…you guys okay working together like this?" Hunter asked as I looked over to Drew who looked to me.
"I'm okay with it if she's okay with it…" Drew said as I let out a deep breath as I contemplated it and knew it was strictly business and professional, if I truly wanted to wrestle I knew at some point I was to have to do a romantic storyline with someone and why not with someone I know even though I would have preferred to do it with Stephan, that way I won't be annoyed.
"Fine…its okay with me…" I said surrendering.
"Okay, it's set…writers will get writing on your promo videos to introduce you to the wrestling crowd. I'm also sure that the entrance video and song will be done within a week so this weekend is a free slide for you two and I would like you guys to report here next week to go over said presentation to get the approval or would you want it sent to you to view on your own time?" Hunter asked as I looked to Drew.
"Sent, we can get together over the break and view it together." Drew said.
"Are we now?" I asked looking over at him.
"Is it too much for you to handle working together?" Hunter asked.
"No…" We said in unison.
"Well then, Adam send them the file when you finish and they will view it over the break and please give him your opinion…." Hunter said as we nodded.
"Now for their attire, what are they going with? Scottish?" The lady asked.
"Yes…Scottish will be their theme of their characters…" Hunter said as she tapped her pencil against her book that looked like a sketch pad from where I sat, "When do you think you will be able to get wardrobe ready for them?" Hunter asked.
"I don't know when…why don't we do the whole kilt thing, do you still have yours Drew?" The lady asked.
"Yeah, not with me…" Drew said.
"Well you guys can go over that in the wardrobe department, how long do you think it'll take you to get it done?"
"A week perhaps…" She said shrugging.
"Okay, we will meet again next weekend for a dress rehearsal in your new ring gear and set up promo work for you two…I got other work to do so meeting adjourned." Hunter said as we all got to our feet grabbing our things, some grabbed papers and folders, some grabbed laptops while Drew and I grabbed our bags following the wardrobe lady to the room they dedicated to the department seeing things that she needed all around the room.
"What do you have as a attire right now?" She asked as I pulled open my bag pulling out my knee pads along with boots and the outfit I had which was a pair of black booty shorts and a black top that was similar to what Maryse's top was.
"The shorts probably could stay but the top has to go…I was thinking doing a plaid skirt type thing to match his kilt along with getting you one of those, what are those things that hang from the skirt?" The lady said as we looked to Drew.
"A sporran but we will have to take it off before we wrestle." Drew said.
"Obviously but make it small enough so if you guys forgot to take it off you can still wrestle with it. You wear a top or no?" She asked.
"Not unless if I was to do commentary then I usually wore a white top…but I don't think I ever wrestle in my kilt…" Drew said.
"Well, she will be wearing hers a lot more than you will be because she won't be wrestling as much as you right now and hers will be a lot shorter than yours…I was thinking mid-thigh." She said.
"Very true…" Drew said as I just watched as they discussed what I was to wear.
"Okay, let me take these measurements…come here…" She said as she grabbed the measuring tape wrapping it around her neck as I dropped my bag and stepped closer holding my hands up so she can wrap the measuring tape around my waist, I let her do all the measurements she needed writing them down on a piece of paper. "It should be done by next weekend for you to try on, as for you Drew, do you need a new shirt or anything touched up?" She asked.
"No ma'am I still got everything from when I did this gimmick." Drew said.
"Okay…Julie, leave your knee pads and boots here and I will do those as well to match your new outfit." She said as I pulled them back out of my bag and I was nervously afraid to leave them with her knowing these were my only pairs.
"I'll get them back right? These are my only pairs and I have been through a lot with them." I said.
"Yes you'll get them back, I promise and if you need them any time between now and then I'll have them with me for use." She said as I nodded.
"Okay, thanks…" I said as I pulled my bag onto my shoulder turning to head out with Drew behind me and what was I to say to the guy that was to become my 'boyfriend' of sorts. I couldn't even picture holding his hand more than a few seconds for him to turn around to look at me and I can just imagine the laughter that Stephan and Wade are going to get from this. "You sure you are going to be okay with this?" I asked nervously as I looked over at him giving him a questionable look.
"Look, it's going to be uncomfortable for the both of us to do this with each other and I'm sure I'm not your number one pick to do this with because you have this crazy hatred towards me but we have known each other for years and who better to do this with? Stephan may be your better option but that isn't the point…I just want you and I to be closer, you not to have this crazy hatred towards me and honestly if this is going to bring us closer then I'm willing to do it." Drew said as he turned to walk away as I grabbed his wrist stopping him as I swallowed deeply.
"I don't hate you….just that I like to pretend I hate you because let's be honest you and I used to always annoy each other, we find that one thing that we knew annoyed the other and do it over and over and over…just I have fun hating you and just I haven't realized that you have grown up and grew out of that phase and I haven't…I just thought was the relationship you and I will always have….I was wrong and I'm sorry…" I said honestly as I looked down at my feet.
"Start over and this time try not to annoy each other?" Drew asked sticking his hand out to shake my hand.
"Only if you promise there won't be any tongue in these kisses." I said.
"Well, now that you said something I may have to slip a little tongue." Drew said smiling as I slapped his hand away in disgust as I turned on my heels heading towards catering to tell Wade what has been decided to get the loud and long laughs out of the way. I went into catering finding Wade and Stephan talking, of course Wade was really into his conversation as Stephan was smiling ear to ear like he was enjoying the conversation.
"You want me to come with you, babe?" Drew asked.
"Please don't call me babe." I said as I stepped further into the room to break the very close distance that Drew and I had between us from when he stepped behind me, I felt very uncomfortable being that close to him as I walked over to the table and Drew was almost directly behind me.
