I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S. I KNOW THAT PAUL BURCHILL ALONG WITH LEA ARE NO LONGER WITH WWE, BUT FOR MY STORY SAKE I NEEDED SOMEONE THAT HE FEUDED WITH.
Heidy's Point of View-
Shane reached out pulling the door open with his other hand.
"You first." Shane said allowing me to walk out first and he was right behind me and only to grasp hands again when we get side by side. "Have you picked out a tattoo yet?"
"I like the one but I want to add color to it along with a few others to see what one I would like best after color."
"Good idea...it'll also help Shannon when he does the tattoo what colors you want instead of him asking."
"It's hard to tell considering there are bartending glasses involved, it'll be a lot of ink...it may need to be done in two sets."
"Maybe...depending how big you get it and how much color it is."
"I'll let Shannon decide since he's the tattoo artist." I said.
"Uh-huh...I see how it is...Have you seen my Helms one?"
"I may of..."
"I''ll show you later." He said.
"Who are you wrestling tonight?' I asked curiously, I doubt I know who it is but by watching the match I'll learn one more persons name or charactor at least.
"Paul...our charactors are having a feud..."
"You two have wrestled before?" I asked as we got to the bottom of the stairs turning to face him, Shane let go of my hand and moved his hands to my hips.
"Yep...a very trusting person in the ring...will you be here when I get done?"
"Possibly...or on my way over from the monitors.." I said as I rested my hands on his chest.
"Okay..." Shane said as we heard someone walk down the stairs, he was out of breath and sweating.
"I guess your next." I said turning back to Shane after he had walked by.
"I don't get to go out until my music starts and I am cued by the PA."
"PA?" I asked curiously.
"The guy right there..." Shane said pointing to this guy that was behind the stairs barely peaking out from the curtain to look out into the actual arena, "He will cue me when it'll be okay to head out."
"Oh...I see...plus I guess his opponent hasn't come back either huh?" I asked.
"Much so...your slowly learning how things go on back here huh?"
"Slowly...the swing of things are slowly getting to me but knowing people is hard..." I said.
"It's like being the new kid in school but trust me when I say there is a lot of nice people here...see the guy over there in the leather jacket and shoulder length hair with the girl."
"Yeah." I said looking in the direction he nodded and saw who he was talking about.
"That's Paul, and his so called sister Lea, they are both nice folks."
"I'm sure they are..." I said.
"Paul, Lea, come here!" Shane said waving them over and they came over.
"Hey, you ready for the match?" Paul asked.
"Pretty ready, we discussed what was going on and feel pretty confident. I want you to meet Heidy, with a y not an i." Shane said.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lea." The girl said sticking her hand out, and I did the same.
"Nice to meet you, I've heard good things about you two." I said turning to Paul.
"I'm only guessing you know I'm Paul. So what do you do?" Paul asked.
"I'm Kofi's assistant, I just ended up stuck with him." I said jokingly.
"Nah...we are dating...she doesn't know many people since she just started." Shane said.
"Oh, there is so many nice people here and there is only a couple people that could be sticklers but for the most part it is easy to find your way here." Lea said.
"Yeah, she is one of the newest divas herself." Paul said.
"So pretty much in the same boat huh?" I asked and she nodded. Another man I didn't know walked down the stairs sweaty, we heard the female ring announcer annoucing the next match.
"And the next match is for pin fall..." She said, I can only assume it was Shane's music considering it started with 'There's a Hurricane coming through...' When the girl started "Introducing first..." and the PA signaled for Shane to go, I gave him a quick kiss before he ran up the stairs and I watch him walk through the curtain on top of the stairs, "from Raliegh, North Carolina, standing in at 6 foot and weighing in at 215 pounds, Hurricane Helms."
"Good luck out there...even though I know it's predetermined but be careful." I said.
"Thanks..." Paul said as I walked past them to the monitors, I took my laptop off and slid the sketch book into the bag in time before the bell rung for the beginning of the match. I stood there watching the match trying to see the technicallity of things, like how they do the moves and how they take the bumps, and watching extra close to make sure neither one got hurt. Paul slammed Shane's head into the railling and it looked oh so real and I covered my mouth with my hands in fright, I knew he wasn't hurt but still it looked painful.
"You know how he took that?" Mike said, I recognized the voice.
"How?" I asked only glancing at the man that stepped up next to me, he explained how they took each bump and how to do the certain moves, the bumps I understood but understanding the moves the way he described it was kind of confusing. "I got lost on the moves..." I said honestly when Paul had his arm held up in victory.
"Yeah...I figured that...you want to practice tonight?" Mike asked.
"Well...we are giving Kofi a ride and he doesn't know and he'll know somethings up..."
"Hmm...good point...what about Natalya and Mickie...can't you get a ride from them and have them teach you a tad?"
"I don't know if I even want to continue this..."
"Why don't you know? It came to you naturally...you want to know how long it took me to learn all the rolls and a bump alone?"
"Your going to tell me anyway won't you?" I said as I bent down picking up the laptop bag.
"It took me almost a month to learn all of the rolls and bumps, but once I learned that I picked it up in a snap." Mike said.
"Congrats...because I can pick it up fast doesn't mean that I'm going to be good at it nor want to do it."
"Please..." Mike begged.
"Fine...I'll find Mickie and Natalya and ask them if they will help me tonight." I said as I walked past him to go back over to the curtain waiting for Shane, he came around the corner lifting the mask off his face and head.
"Phew...that was a tiring match..." Shane said wiping his brow, I opened the cooler that was nearby pulling out a bottle of water, I was taught it was there for the wrestlers when they get before or after their match and the announcers to drink.
"Drink this..." I said handing it to him, I saw Kofi walking towards us with Jazmine.
"Thanks...how'd you like the match?"
"It was good...you didn't hurt yourself with that head bump did you?" I asked curiously.
"Nah...I put my arm down before my head even hits plus it has some padding on it."
"Good thing for that..." I said Kofi walked over with Jazmine.
"Hey guys...great match Shane..." Kofi said.
"Thanks man...how's the ankle?" Shane asked.
"It's healing good...should be able to wrestle next weekend for sure, but going to finish this weekend out..."
"Yeah, that would be the best, you have like only two more days left..."
"Well, Mike is giving Jazmine and I a ride back, you coming?" Kofi asked.
"Now?" I asked peeking around to see Mike behind them, I gave him this look and it seemed like we were talking with our eyes and facial reactions.
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing...um, I'll catch a ride back with Mickie, Natalya or someone..."
"Hello, I can give you a ride back." Shane said.
"Yeah, I'll get a ride back with Shane...I got a key...or I may stay with Natalya and Mickie again." I said.
"Okay, be safe, here's some money if you need a cab or something." Kofi said pulling out a $20 bill for me.
"Thanks..." I said putting it in my pocket.
"You got your cell phone?"
"Yep, it may not be on because of the battery, it hasn't been charged much lately." I said.
"Alright, so don't travel anywhere alone tonight, I don't need you getting lost alone."
"Yes Kofi..." I said as he walked away with Jazmine and she snarled at me. "Did she just snarl at me?"
"Yeah..."
"What's her issue? I have barely said one word to her..."
"I don't know..." Shane said as Mike went to walk by.
"Excuse me for a moment..." I stopped Mike walking him aside and whispered, "Why are you leaving now?"
"I don't have a match, second I figured Kofi will be gone and one less person you'll have to worry about seeing you train and third, I already talked to Mickie and Natalya, they are looking for you...just get rid of Shane."
"How? He's my boyfriend, and he wants to give me a ride back."
"Not my problem...tomorrow night, I'll help you train and during the show I'll play clips on the laptop and teach you things that way..."
"Sounds good...their waiting..." I said hugging him, "Thanks...see you in the morning..." I said.
"Okay...actually sleep tonight...training isn't good when you don't get enough sleep because you won't be as alert." Mike said.
"Okay..." I said as I walked back to Shane, "Sorry had to talk to him about something."
"Anything I need to be jealous of or talk to him about?"
"No Shane...nothing like that...you go get changed and head back to the hotel, I'll be there shortly..." I said resting my hands on his chest.
"Aren't you going back with me?"
"I need to chat with Mickie and Natalya, I was going to ride back with them and I need to help Julie pack up..." I lied.
"Do you not like me or something? Everytime I offer you to ride with me you turn it down..."
"No...nothing like that...just I have other plans before our date and I don't really want to explain, it's very feminie and I don't think you want me to go into detail." I said in hopes he will buy it.
"Okay...leave it at that...text me when you get back okay?" Shane asked.
"Okay..." I said standing on my tip toes and kissed him lightly, we walked hand and hand to the mens restroom lightly kissing again before he walked in.
