Give In To Me: Chapter 44


The Next week on Raw- 35 days until the Wedding

Scarlett

The show had been trucking along quite well. Heath and Justin picked up a win, Otunga a loss, Wade got a win and most importantly, I won…a fairly great evening. Roddy Piper had come on Raw to do a special edition of his old show. John and Randy were bickering as was common for them the last few weeks. John being caught between Randy and the Nexus was taking a toll on their friendship.

I anxiously stood next to Wade at the curtain, watching the segment. He had asked me to accompany him down to the ring if it came up. I think he loved rubbing my membership in Nexus in Randy's face. It was a private little victory in his mind. It meant I got a lot more screen time so I didn't mind it too much.

Piper was telling John how much Barrett didn't deserve the championship. That if he won it by forcing John's hand he'd be a big joke, a failure that nobody would take seriously. I winced, knowing that was a sore spot with Wade.

"That's it, we're going out there," he spat angrily. I nodded and we both grabbed microphones. The Nexus music hit and we headed down to the ring in our Nexus gear. I was still wearing my Nexus corset and short shorts. Although I was used to wearing it, I felt a little exposed standing next to such a legend like Roddy.

"Speak of the devil!" Roddy cheered.

"Don't forget Barrett is here too!" John spat. I shot him an evil glare.

"Cute, John," I said sarcastically.

"I knew it was a matter of time before you made it down here, Wade," Piper said knowingly.

"Well, I figured I should be here too. I mean, you are discussing my title shot opportunity on Sunday with everybody involved besides the future champion!" Wade boasted.

"Unsurprisingly Barrett, your bark is much worse than your bite. You can't beat me. That's why you have threaten to fire John if you lose, you have to safeguard the match. You know you have no shot at this," Randy said egging Wade on.

"That is absolute rubbish. John robbed me of a fair fight on the last pay per view, I thought it was only fair that he be the one to give me what's rightfully mine."

"I'm sure you really believe that…" John spat.

"You know what, John, that is no way to speak to your leader! I know that this is the last Raw of your Nexus tenure but that doesn't mean it's time to slack off!"

"You are right about one thing, tonight is my last Raw as a member of the stinking Nexus. Next Monday, I will either be freed or fired…but either way, this isn't the last you'll see of me…" John spat.

"You have such distain for the Nexus, the group that did nothing to you. We even made you a champion! To show you no hard feelings, we got you a gift…" Wade motioned to me and I handed John a bag. He reached inside to find a plethora of Nexus branded items, a hat, a shirt, another armband, etc.

"Great…just what I wanted…." he grumbled.

"I really want to make sure that shirt fits. Why don't you trade that purple monstrosity in and try on that nice Nexus shirt!?" Wade said rather pleased. With a furious look on his face, John slowly removed his shirt and threw it into the audience. He snatched the Nexus shirt from the ground and slid it on. Wade and I couldn't contain our smiles. "What a wonderful fit!"

"Barrett, this is just another display of how horrid the Nexus organization is. You are a manipulative, cowardly, and antagonistic group of individuals…. You guys make me sick!" Randy spat.

"Whoa!" I yelled. "How dare you say such horrible things about such a dominant and talented group of people?"

"Babe, I'm sorry if that offended you…" Randy began.

"Wait a damn moment!" Roddy quickly interjected. "Babe? You are calling this treacherous" he asked Randy.

"Yeah. You see that rock on her left hand ring finger? Scarlett is my fiancée," he bragged.

"You let your fiancée gallivant around with that group of hooligans? What is the matter with you? I wouldn't think a man like you would be so careless."

"Well, Roddy…" Randy began to say but I cut him off.

"Let me? LET me? With all due respect, I am a grown woman that makes my own decisions. I do not ask permission, I will not ask for permission. I do what is needed for my career. He just has to get that!" I said nearly growling.

"Scarlett is an amazing and essential member of our group. Second in command… under me of course… She is our resident mastermind. Scarlett is a free spirit. You can't really reign her in and you don't need to. She is perfectly capable taking care of herself and making decisions," Wade said defending me.

"Roddy, as I was saying, I don't see her making her own decisions about who she chooses to associate with as a problem…right now. In thirty five days, that'll be a different story. In thirty five days, she will be my wife!" Randy boasted. Wade clenched his jaw. " I will not have a wife who is a part of the Nexus!"

"I don't have to listen to you just because we get married, honey. I will still make my own decisions and my decision will be to continue my path to greatness alongside the Nexus," I said defiantly.

"You don't get what I'm trying to say…I wont stand for my wife being a Nexus member."

"Meaning?" I demanded with my hands on my hips.

"Meaning, I won't marry you if you are in the Nexus. You can be Mrs. Randy Orton or a part of Nexus, not both."

"Randy! I'm under contract, I can't leave Nexus. So I guess you'll have to deal with it." I fired back.

"I'll tell you what, Randy, I'm willing to make a deal," Wade said a little deviously. "I have to say that I am pretty confident in my win on Sunday. So I propose a deal. If you win on Sunday, I will give Scarlett the opportunity to get out of the Nexus…on your wedding day if she so chooses. If you lose…Scarlett stays right where she belongs, with the Nexus, and that's the last we'll speak of this." Randy looked a little surprised by Wade's offer.

"You're on!" my fiancé spat confidently. My jaw dropped in complete disbelief. My future was just decided by other people, right in front of my face and there wasn't a thing I could do about it.


I managed to keep my mouth shut until we made it back to the locker room which was a small feat by itself. My anger was slowly boiling up inside me. Justin looked at me a little concerned. He knew I wasn't happy with this.

"Are you okay?" He whispered. I nodded and stood with a look of scorn.

"Scarlett…you are being rather quiet…" Wade said a little uneasy. "Talk to me."

"Talk about what Wade?! Do you want to talk about the hell just happened out there?"

"Well yeah…"

"Barrett, do you have any fucking idea what you've done!?" I yelled dramatically. "You just put me in a horrible position. I might have to leave you guys! I might not to be a part of Nexus anymore! Why would you do this to me…to us?" I said pointing to the guys.

"You aren't going anywhere! When I win on Sunday, your status with the Nexus is cemented permanently. He won't be able to contest your membership anymore. Why do you refuse to see the big picture here?" Wade spat.

"You know what boys? Why don't you grab your stuff and head back to the hotel…We need some privacy here…." I said sweetly. They quickly obliged. Honestly, I think most of them were thrilled to have an excuse to get out of this confrontation filled room. Once we were sure they were all gone, we finally spoke again.

"Was that really necessary?"

"Absolutely. You say I fail to see the bigger picture? I think you don't see the big picture. If you lose, I'm out of excuses. I'll have to choose now. The Nexus or Randy."

"Then you'll have to pick," he said with a shrug.

"That was partially your intention wasn't it? You wanted to force my hand," I said accusingly.

"Of course not!" he said offended. "I want to keep you with us. But you may as well decide, it's kind of inevitable anyways."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you think we can just carry on like this, in this odd purgatory? You and I are floating between constant arguments and sexual encounters! We can't keep going like this. If you marry him, I don't know if we can continue leading together. I refuse to be the other man. I don't want to mess around with a married woman. I respect the sanctity of marriage. I''ve never planned on our encounters, like that morning at the hotel, but it seems to sneak up on us. I can't risk this continuing if you marry him. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that maybe having to decide wouldn't be such a bad thing. I'll miss you, I just don't think It's the worst thing…" He said slowly, sadly.

My mouth was once again left ajar. I couldn't believe he was saying this to me. I just stood in front of him in stunned silence. I couldn't find words. I sighed.

"Scarlett, say someth-" I delivered a hard slap to Wade's cheek. He looked back at me stunned and confused.

"I…I…I just can't-" I stopped speaking and lunged towards him.

Our lips collided once again sending a strong bolt of electricity through my entire body. He wrapped his arms around me. I ran my hand through his thick dark hair. I tugged on it and he released a carnal groan. I moved my hands down to the edge of his shirt and began to lift it. Our lips parted so I could remove it. I tossed it aside and put my lips back on his. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He was strong and slowly lowered us to the ground. He covered my body with his and he grinded against my enlightened nether region. He took this opportunity to retreat a little and pull my wrestling shorts off. He removed his trunks as well. He gave me a kiss and looked into my eyes for a moment. It was an intense glare, one of those moments were you had an entire conversation without having to speak a single word. I initiated another kiss. Together, we christened the locker room…twice.
