Chapter 38
Dolph kisses Taylor on the cheek repeatedly in an attempt to wake her up.
She rolls over with a smile. "Can I help you?"
"You already have." He kisses her on the lips.
She smiles and sits up, getting serious. "I have to tell you something."
"Yeah?" He looks down at his phone. "Holy, look!"
She raises an eyebrow at him as he shoves the phone in her face
She reads what's in front of her. It's a tweet from WWE saying the Bellas contract's expired.
"It says their contracts expired but their asses got fired!" He snickers.
Taylor wonders if he's right. Did they get fired? If they did, was it because of Nikki's harassment? Or did they ask to be released?
"Psh, yeah right! They wouldn't wanna miss out on a chance to make my life a living hell." Taylor can't help but feel slightly relived. No more Nikki, no more Brie. Brie ruined Layla's relationship and Nikki is trying to ruin hers. Just last night she tried to cause trouble. But now, they're both gone. No more terrible twins!
Taylor sits up with a huge smile on her face.
Dolph grins. "Now she won't be able to fuck with us anymore." He reaches for Taylor's hand and squeezes it.
"I feel bad for being happy that someone just lost their job, but I can't help it." She shrugs and smiles.
He rolls over by her and plants a kiss on her cheek. "This means we have to celebrate."
She giggles.
"I'm serious!" He gets up. "Before tonight's show. We'll do something, anything."
Taylor shakes her head and giggles. Her phone goes off and Dolph is closer to it so he gets it.
"Hello? Yeah she's right here." He hands the phone over to her.
"Hello?"
"Hi Taylor! This is Stephanie. I wanted to call and tell you we have a possible storyline for you. If you wanted to come down to the arena and discuss it, I'll be waiting."
Taylor smiles. "Oh that's great! I'll definitely be there!"
"Alrighty! I'll see you soon." Stephanie hangs up.
"Possible storyline. Gotta run." Taylor says, dashing out of bed and pulling out clothes to wear.
Dolph frowns. "No Bella release party?"
She turns to him. "Well I can't. That seems harsh by the way." She smiles.
He just shrugs and she goes to change into slighty baggy jeans, one of Dolph's zip up hoodies and flip flops.
"Hey, before you go." Dolph stops Taylor.
"Yeah?" She looks at him.
"I picked up a copy yesterday." He says, pulling out the lastest issue of the WWE magazine.
She smiles and sits next to him. "What did you think?"
"I'm so proud of you. Following your dreams and making it big. That spirit squad question was unnecessary though."
She giggles and shoves him. "You know you loved being Nicky!"
"Not when I got crapped on. Why'd you have to mention that huh?" He tickles her.
She laughs. "Ah! I don't know!"
"You should've wore one of my shirts but other than that, it was great." He smiles.
Taylor leans over and kisses him. He starts to pull her down toward him more and she pulls away.
"I have to go." She whispers and giggles.
"Finish this later?"
"Absolutely." She winks and begins to head out.
"Wait, you wanted to tell me something earlier." He says.
"Oh, I wanted to tell you that I love you." She smiles.
"I love you too Taylor Ryan." He grins.
She drives to the arena and people are there setting up for tonight's taping.
She taps on the door when she makes it to Step's office.
"Come in!" Stephanie calls from inside.
Taylor opens the door and is welcomed with a smile.
"Hi." Taylor smiles and sits in a chair.
"So," Stephanie leans forward, "the creative team and I were talking and we think it'd be a great idea to turn Alice face again. You know, after she loses her title to Eve."
Taylor nods.
"We were thinking it would be interesting for the two of you to be a team."
Taylor gets nervous and looks worryingly at her.
"I heard that you ladies traveled to last night's show together and got along."
Taylor gives her a nervous laugh. "Oh, you uh heard that?"
"I did. It'll almost be like Layla and Michelle were only, you guys are faces. It's only if you want to do it. I'm leaving the choice up to you. I know you two have had some differences since you debuting."
Taylor takes a sigh of relief. "Should I do it?" She considers in her head. "It'll give me something to do. And if I turn it down, I might not be used for weeks!"
"I'll do it!" Taylor smiles.
"Now that's the attitude I like to see!" Stephanie smiles. "I know it's quite early but I want you to get familiar with it." She says pulling out a script and handing it to Taylor.
Taylor takes it. "Thanks."
"You're welcome dear. I'll see you later tonight." She smiles as Taylor gets up and leaves.
"Did ya hear?" Taylor asks, plopping down on the bench as Randy oils up.
"About um, the terrible twos?" He looks at her. "Their contracts expired, didn't it?"
"They sure did. And to think Nikki was recently out to get me." She shakes her head.
"I can't believe she told me to stay away from you." He chuckles.
"What do you mean?"
"She told me she wouldn't tell Dolph if I stayed away."
"What does that have with anything?" Taylor frowns.
"I asked her the same thing. The good thing though is she can't harass you anymore."
"Oh I know!" Taylor smiles a bit. "It's all over."
"Hey Alice told me about you and her teaming up in the near future?"
Taylor stands up. "You're talking to her again?"
"Well I meant I overheard her talking."
She gives him a look. "Yeah, we're gonna be partners. I hope she doesn't bully me."
"She won't." Randy assures.
"You say that now." She rolls her eyes.
"Taylor, I have to tell you something." He says in a serious tone.
Taylor looks at the clock on the wall and back at him. "Later okay? I have to run over to commentary. I promise I'll be back after!" She flashes Randy a smile and runs off.
Taylor's music hits and she comes out on stage. The crowd must be a bad one because they aren't really making noise. This doesn't effect her mood at all. She walks down the ramp, smiling and high-fiving fans along the way. She makes it to the commentary table and JBL and Michael are waiting.
She takes a seat on the end next to JBL.
"How are ya Taylor?" JBL asks with a smile.
She gives him a smile back. "I'm doing fantastic! How are you gentlemen?"
"I'm doing great!" Michael says.
"As well as I!" JBL says.
AJ's music hits and she skips out to the ring.
Tayor rolls her eyes and JBL catches it.
"What was the eye roll for?"
"Nothing. I just find it disturbing how she bounces from guy to guy."
"Are you jealous?" Michael chuckles.
Taylor looks over at him. "What would I have to be jealous for?"
"Well you and Dolph Ziggler ended your relationship and AJ moved on to John Cena." Michael says, referring to the on screen relationships. "He may have attacked Randy, but he is your childhood favorite!"
Layla's music hits and she comes out to the ring.
"I have better things to spend my time on." Taylor answers. "I don't need a relationship anyway. I'm focusing on the thing I love most, and that's wrestling. AJ needs to take notes."
"Those are fightin words right there Michael!" JBL laughs.
The match picks up and Layla and AJ go at it.
"You're a close friend with Layla, right Taylor?" Michael asks.
"That I am." Taylor smiles, admiring her friend in the ring.
"Is she a sweetheart? I hear she's mean."
"She is the absolute sweetest diva you could ever meet. She's been on commentary before."
"Michael has short term memory!" JBL laughs.
Most of the match, it's hard to tell who will pick up the win. Both of them put great effort into the match.
AJ knocks Layla out of the ring and slides out to bring her back in. She blows a kiss to Taylor.
Taylor glares at her.
She isn't paying attention when she gets back in and Layla defeats her via roll up up pin.
Layla's music booms through the arena and Taylor stands up, clapping and smiling.
Layla quicky gets out of the ring, raising her hands high. Taylor soon joins her as AJ sits in the middle of the ring and throws a fit.
"Nice job Miss El." Taylor hugs her friend.
"No, thank you for distracting her." Layla winks.
"I honestly didn't." Taylor giggles. "She just blew me a kiss and kept staring at me. She distracted herself!" She smiles.
Layla giggles.
"I need to go talk to Randy. See ya."
Taylor walks down the long hallway leading to the men's locker room. The door is open a crack so Taylor just walks in.
She is shocked at the sight before her.
Taylor shields her eyes. "Oh god! I'm really sorry for barging in like that!"
Alice jumps off of Randy and fixes her top in the process. Randy gets up as well and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.
"No, Taylor it's fine! You didn't know." Alice says. She fixes herself up a bit more and looks at Randy and back at Taylor. "Can we talk for a sec?"
Taylor slowly steps into the hall and waits for her.
Alice steps out and shuts the door behind her. "That was pretty embarrassing huh?" She laughs.
"It really was." Taylor looks down at the floor.
"Listen, I know you and I haven't been besties lately, but I'm kind of hoping we could patch things up now that Randy and I are back together we are going to be partners soon anyway."
Taylor tries her best to to hide the dreadful look in her eyes. "Y-yo-you and him are back together?!"
"I'm so grateful that he took me back! I really miss and love him."
Taylor stares at her. Not sure what to do. How could Randy go back to this woman. She broke his heart! Let alone cheated on him!
"I know you and Randy have gotten close. I just wanted to know you'll be sharing his company." Alice smiles. "I need to get my things. I'll see you." She walks off.
Randy opens the door and pulls her inside.
"I know it seems crazy-"
"Just a tad bit. How? Why? She cheated on you! I know you still loved her but I didn't think you'd be dumb enough to take her back!" Taylor frowns.
"We've missed each other and we've been talking again for quite awhile."
"Oh that's cool. So I guess this is what you wanted to tell me." Taylor says, folding her arm cross her chest.
"I know this upsets you and all. Yeah, she broke my heart but people deserve second chances, right?"
"Sure, some people do, but not cheaters. Once a cheater always a cheater." She storms off.
Crazy right? The next chapter is going to skip ahead a bit. I want to get to the juicer parts;p
