~~~~~~~~~Thursday October 13th, 2011 Sawyer's Locker room (Devon's POV)~~~~~~~
I was worried. Matt had Joe tonight. I was dressed in a pair of light blue jeans and a bitter sweet girls cupcake monster glow-in-the-dark white tee shirt. I was also wearing a pair of sneakers. My blonde hair was straight and I had found a black headband and was using it to keep my hair out of my way.
I watched as Kurt told Bobby he'd have Gunner and Jarrett in a match. I then saw Serena talking with Bobby.
"Hey I see we shop at the same place." I said. I watched as it showed A.J., RVD, Jerry, and Daniels in a brawl. You could see Mikaela standing out of the way with Mercy and Albey. The match finally got started with Daniels and Jerry beating up on A.J. luckily RVD managed to come back down. I watched as A.J. and RVD took control of the match. Jerry and Daniels ended up taking control again because they were keeping RVD away from A.J.
I tilted my head as I stood. I watched as A.J. went for the Styles Clash on Daniels but Daniels got out and sent Jerry into a Pele and a Styles Clash. It was amazing to see how focused A.J. was on Daniels.
"Come on my match is next." Matt said. I stood with him and we walked to the gorilla. Joe would be going out first. I rested an arm on his back as we walked out.
"His opponent from Fairfield, Connecticut being accompanied by Devon Sawyer "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan." Christy said. I stayed on the floor to watch the match. Matt had control early on but Joe managed to turn the tables. I kept clapping hoping that Matt would come out on top.
I closed my eyes and opened them again to see him winning. I released a breath when Matt stacked Joe on his shoulders and picked up the win. I watched as Joe started in on Matt's knee. I slid into the ring. Jackson and I were trying to pull Joe off of Matt. My head jerked up to the ramp when I heard someone coming down the ramp. I saw Crimson and Athena get into the ring. Crimson nailed Joe with a chair once before he left the ring.
I looked at my sister as she stood by me. I took the time to notice the fact that her jean vest showed just the rim of her bra and ample amount of her cleavage. She was also wearing a black mini skirt.
"Karen must hate you." I whispered.
"I haven't seen her yet." Athena answered. I noticed that her hair was curled and the streaks still looked like they were brand new. I smiled as I saw that she had put in a couple of crimson feathers. Athena moved to stand by Crimson while I went to stand by Matt.
We listened to Joe as he called both men Beta males and then called them bitches. I looked at my sister. I looked at Matt as he and Crimson looked at each other before looking at Joe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Athena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was worried about Tommy. His leg was hurting him but no he wouldn't stay home. I got out of the ring when someone yelled my name. I turned toward the barricade to see dad leaning against the barricade. I had taken Sasha clothes shopping with me so hint the new vest I was wearing. I waved at dad before I followed Tommy into the back.
We settled to watch Mexican America talk about Ink Inc.
"By the way dad's here." I said.
"Who do you have watching Clare if he's here?" Devon asked.
"Dad's got a buddy. I made sure he could watch my little girl." Ellie answered. We watched as a new Knockout came out and helped Ink Inc. Ellie stood and waved to us once before she left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ellie's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know why I keep doing this. Being a valet was becoming second nature. It was only for Jesse though. The two of us were just talking. We were actually friends. I'd told him about Luke and everything that happened between the two of us. I met with Jesse at gorilla. I was wearing a Metal Mulish Piper Black Tube Dress and coupled it with Teqkilla suede boots.
We walked out and I stayed on the ground. When Brian walked out it would be a moot point anyway because Eve would come stand by me. I smiled at her when she stopped by me. I watched as Jesse had the control up until something went wrong. Brian went to help but that allowed Austin to hurt Jesse. I absently pulled my bottom lip into my mouth and I nibbled on it lightly.
I didn't want to admit it to myself but I was afraid for Jesse. I watched as both Aries and Kash kept Jesse from tagging out to Brian. Jesse managed to get his knees up to block Kash from nailing him on the top rope. Jesse managed to get a tag in to Brian and Brian started taking on both guys.
I watched as Brian went for Slice Bread on both of them but missed it. Both Austin and Kash started arguing and I saw Jesse getting ready to tackle the both of them but Austin moved. Jesse only ended up getting Kash.
Austin was getting ready to use the belt on Brian but Brian superkicked him and nailed him with Slice Bread shortly after getting the pin. I watched as Brian danced around with Austin's belt.
I walked to the back with Jesse.
"Thanks for valeting for me tonight." Jesse said.
"No problem. I enjoy doing this." I said. Jesse smiled. I hadn't noticed that a strand of my brown hair had escaped from my ponytail until Jesse brushed it back. I smiled at him and he gave me a hesitant kiss. I blushed and looked away.
"I'll see you at some other time." I said quickly as I walked away. I walked back into the locker room to see Jamie and Colton standing. I also saw Athena standing too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Velvet's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I could tell Ellie had something interesting going on in her life but Colton and I were heading out. I duplicated my entrance from last week even giving him a kiss. Colton stood behind me wrapping an arm around my waist. I watched as Mickie came out with Athena. Athena was standing next to Mickie and when Winter and Angelina came out. I looked at Mickie's shoulder where her belt was situated. I shook my head when Star came out not only with Alex, Karson, and Brooke but with blue streaks in her hair.
"Alex has rubbed off on her." I said. Star got into the ring and I looked over at Brooke who had her belt around her waist. Karen's music came on and she walked out with both Traci and Madison Rayne.
I was listing to Karen absently until she started insulting me. That pissed me off. I stood toe to toe with Karen and I made sure that she knew exactly what I wanted on Sunday. I wanted that Knockouts belt. I looked down when she insulted the kind of men I could attract. She obviously hadn't realized that I was with Colton. I know I felt Colton's hand on my back.
I let Karen put Brooke in a three way for her title against Lust and Peyton O'Connell. I had seen Traci get on her hands and knees and I shoved Karen so she fell over. After that everyone started fighting. Even Athena, Angelina, Karson, and Brooke got in on the brawl. They eventually managed to separate us and got us to go to the back. I was trying to stay calm when Colton didn't take me back to the locker room but some dark little corner he had found.
"What are we doing?" I asked as I started to move away only for Colton's arms to lock around my waist and pull me back to him.
"I'm making sure you're okay. I don't need Athena, Devon, Matt, Ellie, and Tommy throwing in their three cents." Colton answered.
"I'm fine Colton." I said.
"Jamie, please don't put that face on for me." Colton said as he let his right hand slid up to cup my right cheek. I leaned into his hand and rested one hand on his chest.
"I'm fine Colton. Karen just knows how to push buttons." I said.
"Is it bad that I wanted to be like Frankie and tell her off?" Colton asked. I smiled at him.
"No. It means that you really do love me." I replied.
"I'd do anything for you." Colton whispered.
"Come on let's go get back to the locker room." I said. Colton smiled before he gave me a kiss. We walked back into the locker room.
"What we miss?" I asked as I sat on Colton's lap.
"Ray talking smack, Daniels beating up Allen in the parking lot, and we're starting Serena's match against Gunner." Tommy answered. I nodded my head and settled back to watch the match. Serena was giving up a lot to him but I was sure that she'd come out with the win. I chuckled when Auriele turned her back and allowed Serena to go to town with that bat. I was surprised when Auriele stood between Gunner and Serena. I was actually with how impressed she was doing.
"Hey you want to hear something interesting?" Athena asked.
"What?" I asked.
"Auriele is dating Garrett Bischoff." Athena replied.
"Hm interesting." I said. I clapped when Serena won her match. She deserved it. I had heard the people whisper that she couldn't wrestle. That would shut them up for the time being. I had found it kind of odd that Colton had taken me off of his lap and left during Serena's match. I looked at him when he walked back in wearing shorts and his boots.
"You have a match?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah a tag match with Kingston Matlin against Abyss and Ray." Colton answered. I stood and followed him out of the locker room.
"Kingston and his sister are going out first." Colton said as we reached gorilla.
"What music are we playing for you?" The music guy asked.
"Hell Yeah." Colton answered. I nodded to Cheyenne as she walked past me with her brother. Someone nodded at us and we walked out.
"His partner being accompanied by Velvet Sky from Sterling Heights, Michigan weighing 220 lbs standing at 6 feet five inches Colton Sawyer." Christy said. I got into the ring with him and even gave him a kiss. He smiled at me before Immortal's music came on. I got to the floor with Peyton and we did our best cheering the boys on. Colton and Ace were giving up a lot of weight to those guys.
I realized that most people hadn't realized when I was out here the first time but I was wearing my engagment ring and Peyton saw it.
"You engaged?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah. I'm engaged to Colton." I answered. Peyton nodded her head and I went back to cheering for the boys. I watched as Ace nailed Ray with a wicked left handed punch. Colton then nailed Abyss carefully with Devil's Smile. Colton covered him and got the pin.
"The winners of the match the team of Ace O'Connell and Colton Sawyer." Christy said. I got into the ring and wrapped my arms around Colton and gave him another kiss. Colton wrapped his arms my waist and he shook Ace's hand before we left.
We walked back into the locker room.
"We'll keep an eye on everything and let you know what happens." I said. Colton nodded his head and left to go get changed. I watched as Ken's match against Scott. I settled into a chair. I noticed Athena had an ice pack and was putting it on Tommy's knee.
"You going to do that all night?" I asked.
"Yes. I'll even do that at home." Athena replied. I chuckled. I turned my attention back to the match and saw how much control Scott had. I shook my head. Colton walked back in and picked me up before sitting us both back down.
"So you set a date yet?" Matt asked.
"I was thinking a winter wedding." I replied.
"So like December right?" Devon asked.
"Yeah. I'm already talking to Phoenix about getting the day off." I replied. Devon nodded her head and we watched as Ken picked up the win. After that Immortal came out. It was impressive to see Gunner limping and holding his ribs. My eyes widened a little when they started beating up on Abyss.
"Never saw that coming." Athena said.
"I don't think anyone did." I said. We watched as it showed Kurt talking to James. You could almost see how tense Celeste was by the way she kept moving her hand up and down James's back. After that little discussion it showed Jarrett and Gunner talking. At least Gunner still looked like he was hurting.
Bobby's match against Jarrett and Gunner started. I was keeping an eye on how Brianna was staying away from Karen. The girls had told me that I could actually use their special nicknames because I was family.
"Hey Owl, you know when Brianna's leaving?" I asked.
"I think Bobby bumped it up to the Thursday after Bound for Glory. It was very recent. I also think Brianna is trying to keep it a secret." Athena answered with a small smile on her face. I nodded my head and continued watching the match. I raised an eyebrow when Brianna threatened Karen finally. Karen almost thought of standing toe to toe with her but backed down.
"That isn't cool." Ellie said when Jarrett and Gunner mocked Beer Money. They hadn't noticed Bobby getting up and that lead Bobby take solid control. I watched as Bobby blocked the Stroke and ended up locking Gunner in the Crossface for the win.
I shook my head when Immortal came out and started attacking him. Storm hit the ring and Celeste moved toward her sister in case Karen got any ideas. Immortal started beating up the two of them and Kurt meandered down to the ring. I was shocked to hear Hardy's music hit. He ran down to the ring and cleared it out of Immortal.
Hardy was trying to get Bobby and James to understand he was here to help. Brianna and Celeste had gotten into the ring. Brianna moved toward Bobby. When Jeff held out his hand you could see Brianna stand on her tip toes and whisper into Bobby's ear. He shook Jeff's hand. Hardy kept trying to leave but Storm wasn't letting him. Finally the three of them raised each other's arms with the girls sliding into line smoothly. Hardy and Bobby had a small hug before they celebrated.
"Makes you wonder what Brianna said." I said.
"Probably not to pull a Daniels." Devon answered. I smiled at that.
We watched as Hogan came out for his contract signing. Sting came out with Serena. Sting and Serena signed the contract first. JB then had Hogan sign it. I raised an eyebrow when Hogan overturned the table. He then started talking to Sting. I thought it had ended well with a handshake but Eric's music came on and took Sting's attention off of Hulk. Hulk then nailed him with a chair and started beating him up. You could see Serena wanting to do something.
"That poor baby." I said.
"I know. Selena hasn't exactly left Orlando since the twenty-ninth and Frankie is hurt." Athena said. We stood when the show was finished.
"I'll see you guys at Bound for Glory. Hey Athena if you see Mickie tell her not to go easy on me." I said.
"Will do." Athena said with a smile as I got my bag and left with Colton. I had hooked my hand with his.
"December 28th." Colton said.
"What?" I asked as we walked toward the car.
"It's a date for the wedding maybe." Colton replied.
"Good date but how about a little earlier. December 7th?" I asked.
"Whatever you want. All I want is the satisfaction of being able to say I'm the one who got to marry you." Colton replied with a half smile. I laughed as we got to the car and started putting our bags in.
"I could ask Phoenix if she could help plan our wedding." I said.
"I like her weddings. I've seen pictures from Mikaela and Allen's wedding and a few others besides theirs." Colton said.
"Okay I'll do that Sunday." I said. I smiled as we got into the car and started driving. Colton picked up my left hand in his right. He then kissed the top of my hand before squeezing my hand.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I said.
