Ch.36 Repercussions

RAW August 6, 2012 San Antonio, Texas

"She spent the night in his room last night and didn't leave until this morning" the Mexican Aristocrat informed

Chris's fist clenched involuntarily and he winced as a shooting pain went up his wrist. He had forgotten about his bruised knuckles, a result of del Rio telling him about the intimate exchange between Yelena and The Viper on the night of his return. He had to admit, his anger took him by surprise. It was almost as if he only saw red and when he came to, realized that he had almost put his fists through his locker. Since then, he was in the darkest of moods. He had it in his right mind to go find her and give her a piece of his mind but thought better of it. He knew that he would not be able to control his rage and not be responsible for what he did to her and the last thing he needed was Punk and Randy on his back. So he smartly chose to wait it out. His time would come and when it did, she'd be a mess, begging him to take her back. Good things always come to those who wait.

Yelena and AJ winced as Big Show delivered a nasty Spear to Randy on the outside of the ring

"Is it bad that I'm having flashbacks of him bulldozing me?" AJ asked, holding her neck. The petite Diva could feel the whiplash Randy was experiencing

Yelena patted her friend's shoulder sympathetically and told her she was going to meet Randy at the curtain just as the match ended in a double count out. She arrived just as he came through them, hunched over and holding his ribs.

"Are you okay?" She asked, reaching out for him, but drawing back, afraid to touch him

"I'm fine." he managed to tell her. He went to stand upright but winced visibly in pain

"You should go see the medic." she told him, but being the macho man he thought he was, he dismissed the idea immediately

"It's not that serious." he told her

"You could have a broken rib!"

"Trust me, if something was broken, I would know. I'll be fine after I find some ice"

What was with these guys and seeing the doctor? They would rather be walking around with an injury in pain than go and get themselves checked out and Yelena was having none of it. Taking his arm, she draped it over her shoulder

"You are going to the damn medic" she told him sternly

"And who's going to make me? You?" he teased as he let her lead him in the direction of the trainer's room

"I'll drag you by your ankles if I have to."

He laughed and was silent the rest off the short walk. They were just outside of the door when he paused "You know, this really isn't necessary. I promise I'm okay."

Yelena smirked and opened the door, gesturing for him to enter with a wave of her hand "In. Now" she commanded

"I like a demanding woman" Randy snorted

"Cute, now in you go. C'mon" she said pushing him inside

Dr. Sampson sat him down and got to work on him right away. Deeming him clear of any broken ribs, he tossed him an ice pack just as Eve came in to get her ankle looked at

"I told you it was nothing" Randy smirked

Yelena pressed the cold ice pack on his ribs and his smirk was replaced by a grimace

"This time." she told him "It could have been a lot worse and you wouldn't have known a thing"

"Sometimes it's better not knowing" he said with a shrug. He pulled her closer so she was standing in between his legs. "Do I get my lollipop now?" he asked

"I don't know..." She said playfully "You gave me such a hard time getting you in here" she laughed

"I did it, didn't I?" he asked, pouting

"I suppose" she agreed "but I'm afraid I'm fresh out of lollipops"

"I guess I'll take a kiss instead." He said nonchalantly "I mean, it's the least you can do for my pain and suffering" he said, his smirk returning

She was hesitant, glancing over at Eve on the other side of the room. She was tapping away on her IPhone, politely ignoring them

Randy cupped her face in his hand, his lips finding hers and when they did, she instantly forgot about Eve's presence.

Randy was entranced in her. The taste of her candy-flavored lips was driving him up the wall, making it that much harder for him to control himself. He knew that he had told her that they could take it as slow as she wanted, but he was a man damn it! He hadn't slept with any random girls in the months since he met her, which was a rare thing for him and she wasn't making it easy for him, but he was a man of his word and he was going to be patient. Even if it killed him. In the mean time, he was going to indulge in licking all of the sweet lip gloss off of her lips.

Too quickly for her liking, they were interrupted by a swift knock on the open door

"You are needed ringside for the next match" the stage hand informed her.

He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear "I'll see you tonight?"

She nodded, not trusting her voice

Randy placed a kiss on her forehead, reluctantly releasing her

Yelena hastily found her station and grabbed her camera, cleaning the lenses. She made get way to the GP, loading in a fresh role of film when her shoulder collided with someone. Frosty blue eyes met her green ones, sending a shiver down her spine. Chris's icy stare never left her as he stepped around her. She shrunk away, feeling small under his gaze until he released it, continuing on his way.

When he was out of sight, she released a breath she hasn't realized she had been holding. That look told her many things: One, he was beyond the point of being pissed at her, two, he was not finished with her, and three, that the repercussions were going to be ugly.

"Don't let him shake you" she told herself "He had his chance and he tried to make it right too late"

Sure, she had noticed the change in him after his return, but she refuse to be moved by it. It didn't take a fool to know that his feelings for her were changing. In a way, she wanted to let him believe that she still wanted to be with him and when the time came, she would shatter his heart like he had done to her so many times before. She was going to get the last laugh, not him. And now she had. He obviously knew about she and Randy's budding romance and was all bent out of shape. So mission accomplished. She went down to the ring under the dark lights and took her place against the barricade as the lights went out, the only source being a bunch of LED lights at the top of the ramp. Chris's music started up as the lights came back on and he was all smiles on the way down to the announcers table, all traces of his dark gaze gone. She snapped away thought Dolph and Alex Riley's match. Dolph ended up getting riled up after letting Chris's presence on commentary distract him. She snapped a picture of Chris's million dollar smile at The Show Off's expense so she wouldn't have to take one backstage. She didn't want to be anywhere near him when the mask came off

Yelena was flipping through a magazine as Aksana painted her toes a bright pink when her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and rolled her eyes.

"Who is it?" the dark haired Diva asked

"Irina. I wish she would stop calling me."

"You might as well answer it and see what she wants. She won't stop calling until you do"

Yelena knew that she was right "I know I'm going to regret this" she muttered as she swiped the answer key and put her on speaker "Hello?"

"Little sister! I've been calling you!" Irina said loudly, making Yelena wince

"Yeah, I've been busy. I got a promotion and it keeps me-"

"That's great! I'm so happy for you. So listen! I have some great news!" Irina interrupted

Aksana rolled her eyes. She loved Yelena to death, but her sister was such an attention whore sometimes.

"What is it?" Yelena asked, feeling a headache coming on

"We're doing a charity event in Texas next week" her older sister squealed

"Okay... what does that have to do with me?"

"Isn't that where you're doing a show on Monday?"

Yelena's eyes went wide. No. This was not happening

"One of the girls is a big fan and got a few of us tickets to the show! Isn't that great?"

Yelena didn't respond. She felt like there was a baseball lodged in her throat. Irina was going to be at the next show. At her job. Around her friends

Aksana saw the color drain from her best friend's face and shook her knee "Say something"

"That's... that's great Rina." she croaked out

Irina launched into a casual excitement, telling her sister how much fun they were going to have. Yelena let out a sigh of relief when she told her she would only be in Texas for two days. After insisting on meeting all of her friends and making a rude comment about Aksana, she rushed her off of the phone to avoid any confrontation Aksana had to offer and rested her head in her lap.

"Please tell me this is a bad dream" she groaned

"I wish I could, hun. Maybe it won't be that bad" Aksana offered "Now here me out" she said as Yelena sat up abruptly, an incredulous look on her face

"You'll only have to deal with her for two days. What's the worst that could happen?"

"A hell of a lot!" Yelena laughed miserably "You know how she is, Z. She'll embarrass me every chance she gets. Wherever Irina goes, trouble follows"

"It's only two days and besides, maybe she'll be so busy that she won't have time to bug you."

Yelena ran a hand through her hair "I hope you're right" she huffed, trying to keep the faith "I really do"

We finally get to meet the oldest Ulyanova sister! Chris is a ticking time bomb. Has Yelena truly gotten the last laugh? Review! REVIEW! Review!

p.s ~ BATISTA IS RETURNING. OMG! I can't even describe how happy I am. I adore him and was distraught when he left. Even though he's only going to be around until summer, I'm glad he's coming back *swoon*. On another note, I have a feeling that 2014 will be the year of Roman Reigns. He's getting a serious push this year. I'm pretty sure the end of the Shield is upon us. My guess is it'll happen at the Royal Rumble. If he doesn't win it, bet money Ambrose or Ambrose and Rollins will be the one to eliminate him under the rules of "Every Man for Himself". But I could be wrong. Okay my rant is over. Thank you for reading!
