Chapter 36
"The girls and I are gonna travel to the next show together." Taylor smiles from her seat on the couch in the RV. She just got back from her day with them.
"Leaving me all alone. Perfect." Dolph rolls his eyes.
"Oh quit whining." She comes up behind him and wraps her arms around him "You can travel with Mike or Ty."
He turns around. "But I like traveling with you." He pouts.
"It's just one trip." She pecks him on the lips. "Or maybe you can have alone time. You like that, right?" She goes back to her seat.
"Yeah." He says.
Taylor gives a big smile which makes him chuckle.
"I guess I could travel by myself. But let me know next time before you go making plans." He kisses her forehead.
"Alright." She giggles.
It's six o'clock in the morning days later and Natalya packs her things in Tyson's SUV. She's waiting on Kaitlyn, Layla and Taylor to arrive so they can begin their planned road trip to the arena.
Someone comes up behind her and places their hands on her eyes.
"Ty is that you?!" She giggles.
The person gasps and take their hands away. "I feel very insulted!" Alice says with a friendly smile.
"Oh Alice, hi! What are you doing here?"
"Well I saw my best friend packing up and wanted to see what you were up to." She smiles.
"Oh I uh, I'm packing up and heading to the arena." She motions her hands over her luggage.
"Ooh sounds fun! Where's Tyson?" She asks looking around for him."
"Um he's not coming."
"To the show?"
"Well me, Kaitlyn, Taylor and Layla were all going together." She shrugs.
"Oh I see." She looks down.
"Would you want to come?"
Alice looks back up. "Oh Nattie!" She pulls Nattie in for a hug. "I'd love to!"
Alice collects her things and packs them into the SUV when Kaitlyn arrives.
She looks from Natalya to Alice and back.
"Hi Kait." Alice pulls her in for a hug.
"Hey Alice." Kaitlyn returns the hug.
"Alice wanted to join us." Natalya speaks up. "The more the merrier right?" She says with nervous laughter.
"I guess." Kaitlyn says putting her things in.
Taylor and Layla arrive at the same time. They both stare at Alice as if she's murdered someone.
"It isn't nice to stare ya know." Alice says, looking at them both.
"I uh, I'm sorry Alice." Layla smiles but rolls her eyes when she turns around.
"Alice wanted to join us and there's so much room." Nattie smiles nervously, hoping nothing goes wrong between any of them.
Taylor sighs quietly but puts on a smile. "It's fine." Her and Layla put their things into the SUV and everyone packs in.
Natalya drives, Alice gets in the passenger seat, Kaitlyn sits in the middle section and Taylor and Layla take seat in the way back.
"So who's ready for this fun filled trip?" Kaitlyn throws her hands up. "I am!"
"So am I!" Nattie smiles.
Layla giggles. "That makes three!"
"And four." Taylor smiles.
"I guess I'll be the fifth." Alice giggles.
Nattie turns on the radio to get the trip started.
After about thirty minutes of silence, Alice turns down the radio a bit. "You know, I still love Randy."
Taylor looks up and stops taking pictures with Layla.
Alice continues. "I know I cheated on him. But I did it on impulse. John was there and he was being so comforting. I love Randy but me and John have so much past together." She shakes her head. "I just got caught in the moment."
"Couldn't you just have ended it with Randy first? You really hurt him." Taylor speaks up.
"I wasn't thinking straight. Like I said, I got caught up. But I'm not even dating John anymore anyway."
Taylor sits up shocked. "You aren't?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Nattie slaps her on the arm.
"You're always busy." She looks at Nattie.
"What happened?" Kaitlyn asks.
"Have you seen the way the Nikki and those other sluts stare him down? I am not competing for my man! And he gave Randy a concussion. I never thought he'd go that far! I just wanted to let everyone know that so we're on good terms." Alice looks back and smiles at everyone before smiling at Natalya. She turns the music back up.
"We are sooo not on any terms." Taylor mumbles under her breath.
Dolph is making last minute arrangements to head out to the arena. He's pretty upset that Taylor decided to travel with the girls but gotta make time for friends right?
He's making sure he has everything and checking to make sure he's heading in the right direction, to the right arena.
He steps out for a second to chat with Jack.
"Hey man." Jack smiles. "Traveling alone I see." He chuckles.
Dolph rolls his eyes. "Yeah. Taylor is with the girls."
Jack slaps his hand down on Dolph's shoulder. "She left you high and dry my friend!"
Dolph takes Jack's hand away from him. "Was there a point in you bothering me?"
"I can't come see how my best friend is doing?" Jack looks sad for a moment.
"You can. It's just when you annoy me is when I have a problem."
"Do you need a travel buddy?" He nudges Dolph.
"I'd rather spend some time to myself. So thanks but no thanks." He heads back into the RV and the driver takes off.
Dolph runs a hand through his bleached hair and decides to go lie down. When he goes in the room he nearly jumps out of his skin.
AJ is sitting crossed legged on the bed, reading something.
"What the fuck are you doing here? How the hell did you get in here?!" He yells.
"Calm yourself." AJ says, without looking up. "I came to share the script with you."
"So you snuck in my fucking RV to do it?" He glares at her.
"I didn't sneak in here. I came in when you were packing stuff. The driver knew I came in." She shrugs.
"And he didn't say anything?" He says through clenched teeth.
She shrugs again. "No biggie. Come." She pats next to her but he just stands there. "In a couple of weeks you and I will be the power couple!" She smiles. "I'll be your lover and manager. I'll cheat to help you win matches. Ettore will be called from NXT as Big E and he'll be our body guard and protector. No one will be able to lay a finger on us."
"I don't need a bodyguard or anyone else." He clenches his fists.
"It's funny because you didn't have a problem with Taylor managing your matches." She twirls a piece of her hair with her finger.
"That was different. Taylor is my girlfriend."
"And I'll be your onscreen girlfriend." AJ smiles.
They've been on the road for about two hours and everyone has switched places. Alice is now driving with Natalya sleeping in the passenger seat. Kaitlyn is out in the back and Layla and Taylor are in the middles seats. Layla is sleeping, with her head rested on the window.
"So, you and Dolph seem to be pretty happy." Alice starts talking. "The sparks must be flying."
"You could say that. I guess they're going everywhere." Taylor replies, slouched in the seat.
"That's so good to hear. Love is a beautiful thing isn't it?"
"Sure is."
"I hear Nikki is being quite the bother."
Taylor sits up. Quite nervous and afraid of what Alice has heard, "Um, yeah. She's just said a few things here and there. Nothing too major."
"Oh. Well I don't know what she said or did, I just know she's threatened you guys' relationship. Exes are such a hassle." She shakes her head.
Taylor takes a sigh of relief. "They really are."
"So what do you plan to do on this trip anyway?" Alice giggles a bit.
"Well we weren't expecting you to be here, that's for sure." Taylor says to herself. "I really don't know. Tell stories, eat snacks, listen to music. Just basic road trips things."
"Well we'll have to wake them up soon. "Alice smiles.
"So can you leave now?" Dolph asks, looking really annoyed at AJ.
"We're moving already and it makes no sense for me to get off anyway. Are you excited for this storyline?" She smiles.
"That may have been the dumbest question I've ever been asked." He frowns.
"Well I'm pretty happy. This will make people care about me. I'll be the top diva! I'll climb on top of the division and stay there." She laughs.
"Wouldn't you rather work for it instead of jumping from guy to guy. That makes you look bad." Dolph points out.
She shrugs. "Whatever puts me on top, I'm happy." She texts away on her phone and Dolph shakes his head.
"My hair was so long! It was like down to my lower back!" Taylor laughs, while chewing on a gummy worm.
"Why'd you cut it?!" Nattie smiles.
"I needed a change. It's been long basically my whole life!" Taylor smiles. "I do miss it though. My natural hair is wavy. It gets wavy when I don't blow dry it."
"I had an afro in ECW." Layla giggles. " I can believe I was apart of Extreme Exposé."
"I used to have orangish red hair. I don't now what I was thinking." Nattie laughs and shakes her head,
"What are you saying!? Orange hair is bad?" Alice laughs.
"No." Nattie laughs. "It was however, bad on me."
"Hah!" Kaitlyn snorts. "I look good in all colors. I used to be brunette and I still looked good." She gloats.
"You were a porn star!" Layla laughs.
"It's called modeling." Kaitlyn sticks her tongue out.
"Modeling some very hot outfits." Taylor snorts.
"I used to be blonde." Alice says.
Everyone stops talking and looks at her.
"I was kidding!" Everyone starts laughing.
"Now guys," Taylor sits up. "we have to prank call."
"Do it, do it!" Layla chants.
"Let's get AJ first!" Kaitlyn smiles. She dials AJ's number and hands the phone to Taylor.
"Hello?" AJ picks up on the first ring in a cheery voice.
Taylor does her best impression of CM Punk. "AJ, you aren't gonna leave me for another superstar are you? I'm the best in the world baby." Kaitlyn immediately starts laughing.
"Is this you Phil?" AJ asks.
"Of course. I told you, I'm the best in the world. That's what you were screaming last night." Layla and Kaitlyn are cracking up and Alice and Nattie are fighting the urge to in the front.
"This isn't Punk! I slept with him two nights ago! Not last night!"
Taylor ends the call and falls over laughing. "I can't!"
The whole SUV is in a chorus of laughter.
"My...turn!" Kaitlyn says through her laughs and tears. "Who should I get next?"
"Brie!" Layla grins.
Kaitlyn dials Brie's number and waits.
She picks up after the second ring. "Who is this?"
Kaitlyn does her impression of Nikki. "You don't know your own sister's voice."
"Funny because my sister is right next to me."
Kaitlyn looks at Layla and the others. Layla snatches the phone.
"Well fantastic." Layla makes her voice deeper. "We need to speak to her."
"Whatever." Brie rolls her eyes but hands the phone over.
"Who the hell is this?" Nikki snaps.
"I'm sorry to inform you Ms. Nicole Garcia but we ran out of supply on implants and we need yours back. We'll give you a full refund and everything." Layla has to fight from laughing as everyone else is.
"This is a fucking joke! I'm going to trace this call." She hangs up.
Layla howls with laughter.
"Oh fuck! This trip is amazing!" Alice laughs.
ROAD TRIP! Ugh I like how Jack is that annoying friend that's there and you have to tolerate him. lol;p AJ's a creep lol
