Chapter 39 "A Controversial Monday Night"
-Welcome to another episode of Monday Night Raw! I'm Jim Ross at ringside with my partner Jerry "The King" Lawler.
-Hi JR! We're all ready for another step towards Wrestlemania!
-Sure King, and you know what? Later we'll see the playboy cover girl and women's champion as special guest of the Cutting Edge!
-I know! I can't wait!
---
-I don't like this at all. –John huffed from the couch of his locker room petting Tobey's head on his lap.
-What? –Ashley asked distractedly coming out of the bathroom where she was dressing up- Do you think I should change?
-No, I actually meant you on the Cutting Edge. –He replied amused pointing at the tv.
-C'mon, -she smiled- don't be an overprotective boyfriend now.
-I'm not overprotective! –He protested- But I don't like the idea of my girlfriend on live tv with that total jerk!
-I know but Coach said that I have to. –She rolled her eyes- I don't like this either.
-Your outfit? –He joked.
-Shut up, I was just distracted –she laughed- I'm not that type of blonde! Anyway what do you think of it? –She asked with her hands on the hips.
She was wearing a very short black & white mini skirt, a black top, black fishnets sleeves, black fishnets under her fighting boots and a pair of fingerless gloves.
-Honestly? –He said raising an eyebrow.
-Sure honestly…why? –She asked checking if she had took on something wrong.
-Smokin'! –He finally said with a smirk.
-That's not fair! –She protested throwing at him a pillow of the couch- I thought you didn't like it!
-Gotcha. –He said amused.
-So, -she said sitting down next to him- don't get mad of whatever he's gonna say, 'k? Just ignore him.
-I can't guarantee this… –he rolled his eyes- A thing is let him talk shit about me and a thing is about you.
-I know, -she said sweetly caressing his cheek- but we know him so let's just deal with it.
-Wait a minute… now I have second thoughts actually… you look too hot to be next to him!
-John Cena are you jealous? –She asked amused.
-I think you should go now punkie. –He evasively said.
-ORLY? –She laughed- You are indeed! –She exclaimed and kissed him before standing up.
-Don't forget-
-My belt, I know. –She giggled placing the title on her shoulder- See? I'm starting to get used of being a champ.
-So proud of my baby. –He chuckled.
-Love ya babe.
-Love ya too. –He smiled as she adjusted her black Chain Gang cap backwards.
---
…You better hold on tight cause I want to love you nice…
As her new theme song started to play Ashley adjusted her belt and came out doing her 'rock on' thing; she raised the title and slapped a few fans' hands on her way to the ring.
-Welcome to the Cutting Edge, punkie. –Edge said in a disparaging tone. -Take a seat.
-Thanks. –She forced a smile and sat down on a stool after waving at the crowd who cheered for her.
-So –he began- fortunately I always have guests of a high level on my show… this means that hopefully you're just an exception sweetheart. –He smirked looking around as usually when the crowd booed him.
-Good to know, -she smirked back- so can I know why I'm here?
-Oh yes, absolutely! –He nodded with a fake serious face. –You've just posed for PB, right? So-
But he was interrupted by an entrance theme as Melina appeared from behind the curtain with a microphone in her hand.
-WTF? –Ashley muttered standing up and looking at Edge who just shrugged.
-Here we go again! –The other diva yelled. –Why she got invited on this show? Because she posed for Playboy, not because she's the women's champion! I'm so tired of this! It's so clear that she doesn't deserve the title! –She paused as Ashley gestured to bring it on- So you know what, little miss playboy? I challenge you for a title match… at Wrestlemania!
-And you know what? –Ashley yelled back- I accept. You're on bitch!
As Melina just turned and disappeared again with a satisfied smile on her face, Edge clapped his hands with an impressed face. –Very well, champ! Now that you've done with your personal stuff can we get back where we were at?
She rolled her eyes and said –Yeah, like I asked for her to come and challenge me right now.
-Uh someone's getting all fired up! –He said amused- But don't sweat it baby, I didn't know about it either.
-Ok, so let me ask you again why am I here? –She said forcing a smile.
-As I was saying before we were interrupted… I don't give a damn of who's the women's champion. I wanted you here for your Playboy.
-And so?
-Well speaking of, I'd have a few ideas for your photo at page 37… but we'll talk about that later in private –he smirked- anyway how did you feel about this photoshoot?
Taken aback by this apparently normal question and his serious tone Ashley took a few seconds before answer. –It's a little weird if I think of myself on Playboy –she smiled- but I honestly love every picture we shoot, I'd never think that I could look like that!
-Right me if I'm wrong… but didn't you say in a promo or something that you felt actually comfortable shooting the photos even if you were naked?
-Here we go. –John commented watching it from his locker room.
-Well yeah, it was less embarrassing than I expected cause everyone was so nice and professional and-
-Do you know what my addictions are? –He interrupted her.
-What? –She said taken aback.
-Ok I tell you: sex and violence. That's why I'm the Rated R superstar.
-Good for you.
-Oh, no good for you too baby. Cause, you see, I got violence when I kick asses here in this very ring… especially when they belong to people like your boyfriend. –He said mocking a 'you can't see me'.
Ashley rolled her eyes and he continued. –But about my first addiction… I was thinking since you're not only the playboy cover girl but also the self proclamed 'dirty diva' and I'm the Rated R superstar… let me show you what real men are. –He said standing next to her with a hand on the back of her seat and smirking.
-Oh, I don't think so, Edge. –She said amused- And since apparently you seem to know who my boyfriend is… I surely don't need you to know what a real man is. So I suggest you to take a cold shower indeed. –She smirked and stood up to leave the ring when he pulled her arm and forced her into a kiss.
-Don't touch me ever again! –She yelled when, smirking, he finally left her.
But Edge had no time to reply back cause John ran into the ring and after hitting the Rated R superstar with a spear, started punching him harder than ever.
-C'mon it's not worth it! –Ashley said trying to pull John's arm to take him away.
Soon both men's partners rushed into the ring for what had just became an unofficial Rated RKO vs Cena & HBK match.
Ashley slid out of the ring as John yelled her to as soon as he saw the other two men coming.
Then after a few moments Coach appeared from the curtain yelling at the 4 of them to immediately stop if they didn't want consequences.
John was choking Edge between the ropes and reluctantly let him go.
-Guys, guys –Coach said- I'd say that you should calm down, all the four of you. Cause I'm afraid that you have to wait till the end of the night when the main event will be Cena & HBK against Rated RKO. –He announced as Randy and Edge smirked at each other.
-And –the executive assistant added as Ashley entered the ring again and stood next to John –since this happened because of you, cover girl, I'd suggest you to get ready for later too cause you'd be the referee of the main event!
As she stared at John in disbelief for what they had just heard Coach said –And an impartial one, let me add, cause if you cheat you immediately lose your belt, champ.
-Are you okay? –John asked her for what Edge did, still in the middle of the ring, placing an arm around her waist as soon as Coach left.
-Yeah… but that's totally crazy! –She whispered.
-I know baby, I know.
Ok, how soon will you read about the main event? It depends on the reviews' number (evil laughther) hehehe!
