Chapter 53: Breaking The Habit
Riley jumped up and down in her spot in the hallway behind the entrance way. She was waiting for her music to sound out through the arena, anticipating her confrontation of John Cena, Brock Lesnar backing her up in the ring. She shut her eyes and leaned her head back, silently praying that everything would go according to plan, not wanting to get into any trouble now that she had everything almost figured out.
Dropping her chin against her chest, she felt the muscle in the back of her neck stretch slightly, hyping herself up to go out in front of the WWE Universe and show them that she was back and ready for action. Opening her eyes, she smiled at the form approaching her, the one and only person who could make her smile as big as he could.
"Hey Wade." She grinned, jiggling her arms at her sides, loosening the muscles as she did so. She shifted from one foot to the other, lifting her knees up higher than any normal person.
"Be careful out there." He stated, admiring her body in her new ring gear. She shied away from his looming gaze and smiled at him, wondering where he was going to be while she interrupted Lesnar and Cena.
He was decked out in a pair of black dress pants and a white dress-shirt, the top button undone and no tie present around his neck. She stepped closer to him, running her hands up his chest and curling her fingers around his shoulders. She felt his fingertips brush against the bare skin of her back, a shiver surging through her spine at his touch. She pressed her body against his and shifted up onto her tiptoes, the gap between their mouths slowly closing.
Her shifted his right hand up her back and pulled her closer to him, anticipating the feel of her lips on his. When she was an inch away from kissing him, she jerked away at the sound of her music starting to play. Shoving him away from her, she jogged towards the arena, grinning at him as she ran. He couldn't help but let out a laugh at her, knowing how happy she was to finally be back in the ring.
Riley ran down the ramp at a neck breaking pace. She stopped at the edge of the ring and stealthily climbed inside, John Cena looking at her with a smile, thinking she was there to back him up. Brock Lesnar looked at her, his eyes running up and down her body, he licked his lips in excitement, clearly showing how much he admired her and her sexy body. Setting her hands firmly on her hips, she set her sights on the large and in charge Brock Lesnar, confidently stepping towards him.
"Uh oh Lesnar!" She barely heard John's words over the noises from the crowd.
"Hey there sexy." Brock said quietly, his voice almost drowned out by the crowd.
Riley didn't say a single word as she turned on her heel and set her glare on John Cena. He wasn't expecting her to glare at him. He certainly wasn't expecting her to walk angrily towards him and he most definitely wasn't expecting the open palmed slap to his face that she gave him either.
Riley watching John's hand rise to cover his stinging cheek, she turned back towards the ramp and slowly made her way towards the ropes. John took a step forward and called out her name repeatedly, Riley ignoring his pleas to 'come back and explain' as she marched herself up the ramp, stopping at the top to turn around and smirk at him.
Brock Lesnar clapped sarcastically at her actions but wandered backwards, relaxing against the turnbuckles as he watched Riley Williams, best friend to John Cena, turn on the one person who had always been there for her. The smile growing on his face was hard to contain and Brock just grinned as Riley finally disappeared backstage.
Leaping into his open arms, Riley let out a squeal of excitement as she hugged him back. Wade relaxed his grip on her but kept his arm around her shoulders, Riley slipping her arm around his bicep, not wanting to let go.
"You know you are now one of the most hated Divas in the WWE?"
"Yeah, we can all thank Vince for that one." She answered with a roll of her eyes.
"He must really like you though."
"Oh yeah? Why do you say that?" Riley asked, starting to make her way back towards her locker room with Wade right next to her. As much as she liked being back, she was starting to want nothing more than her t-shirt and jeans, and Wade back in the hotel room.
"Vince is throwing you into the main storyline between Cena and Lesnar. What other Diva on the roster do you know of that has gotten the chance to be involved with some of the biggest superstars in the WWE?"
"I guess you're right but I'd rather not be near Lesnar." Riley smiled, trying to get her uneasiness to come off as a joke, Wade picking up on how uncomfortable the man made her.
"If he tries to even look at you the wrong way, you just let me know and-"
"Oh are you going to take care of it?" Riley asked with a laugh, patting him on the chest.
"Former bare knuckle boxer versus the former UFC champion, sounds pretty regal doesn't it?"
Riley just let out a laugh at his statement, hoping that Vince never caught wind of the idea. Truthfully, Brock Lesnar scared the shit out of her and if she could keep Wade, as well as herself, as uninvolved as possible with the larger man, she would be all the better. She knew that the former UFC Champion wouldn't hold back against anyone, including Wade, and that was something she didn't want to witness. It wasn't for a lack of confidence in Wade and his skills, she just knew that Lesnar would be as ruthless as possible when it came to winning.
"Don't even joke about that okay? You just stay on Smackdown and do not get involved with Lesnar." Riley stated, one hundred percent serious.
"You don't think I can win?"
"I don't want to find out how badly he'd fuck you up in order to prove that he's the better fighter, whether or not he really is or not. I want to keep you in one piece and I'm pretty sure I know a reason why you would too." Riley grinned.
She moved away from him and wrapped her fingers around the locker room door. Wade watched as she pushed the door open and held it for him, motioning for him to get inside. She leaned against the door and ran her fingers down his arm as he walked by her, entering her vacant locker room.
"What reason could you possibly have that I would want to remain in one piece?" He asked, crossing his own arms over his chest, trying to be defiant against her.
Riley just continued to grin at him, stepping away from the door. She listened for the clicking sound of the knob and reached her arms around her back after she heard it. Wade watched in confusion as she slowly stepped towards him, her hands behind her back. He uncrossed his arms as he finally registered what she was doing, mere seconds before she unlatched her bra top and let it fall away from her breasts.
"One piece?" She asked, dropping her top to the ground, covering her bare chest with her hands.
"One piece sounds good, yes, let's keep Wade Barrett in one bloody piece." He struggled to keep his composure, licking his lips as she got closer to him, shaking her head in approval at how willingly he agreed with her. Leave it to a woman to get a man to bend to her opinion.
Wade's fingers couldn't move fast enough at the buttons on his dress shirt. Riley closed the gap between them and pressed her body against his, covering her chest with his shirt covered torso before moving her hands away from her body to wrap around his. He looked down at her, his fingers still fumbling with the buttons as she pressed her lips against his.
Slowly breaking the kiss, Riley shifted her head and rested it against his shoulder, gently setting her hands on his, stopping him from unbuttoning any more buttons. He looked down at her and waited for her invitation. There wasn't much stopping him from picking her up and fucking her against the wall, she knew it, it was running through her mind too.
"Let's head back to the hotel." She suggested, turning away from him and wandering towards the bench.
He let out a frustrated groan, watching her bare back retreat away from him as she picked up her t-shirt, pulling it on over her naked upper half. He shook his head, trying to get the mental image of her out of his head, at least for the time being. Riley grabbed her sweater off the bench and pulled it on over her t-shirt, watching as Wade flopped onto the bench next to her bag.
"You're a bloody tease." He whined.
"I know." She smirked, stripping off her wrestling shorts, leaving Wade to stare at her black lace panties.
He growled at her as she wrapped her fingers around her jeans and flipped them out, stepping into them. He was none too pleased with her as she covered up her bottom half, making him wait until they got back to the hotel room. She was a devious woman, he figured she knew exactly what she was doing to him yet he somehow managed to have complete faith in the girl and knew that she would finally deliver what she had been teasing him with, eventually.
Riley bent over and unbuckled her wrestling boots, peeling them off her feet. Wade reached over and handed her the white socks from inside her bag. She took them with a smile and slipped them over her bare feet, shoving them into a pair of white running shoes. He stood up and strode across the room, waiting just inside the door as she gathered her things into the bag.
Pulling the door open when she finally approached him, he let her wander out first, following closely behind her. He lifted his arm up and set it on her shoulder, walking just behind her as she waltzed through the halls, towards the parking lot where their rental awaited.
"Ry-pie!"
Riley froze in her tracks and turned to glare at John Cena. Her best friend was running down the hall, trying to track her down in order to talk to her. She waited for him to close the distance before subduing her glare, Wade dropping his hand away from her shoulder.
"What do you want Cena?" She asked, no emotion to her tone.
"To apologize." He answered, shying away from her slightly.
"Oh?"
"Look it was none of my business what you and Jericho did or who else you have history with for that matter. I'm sorry I got so upset over it and I just wanted to say I'm sorry." He said, a sad smile on his face.
Riley dropped her glare completely and looked at him. She certainly missed having her best friend around and if Wade and her were going to be on separate brands, maybe she would be better off with John Cena as an ally while she was alone. She extended her hand towards him, signaling that she wanted a handshake. John hesitated but reached his own hand out and clasped it around hers.
"Apology accepted. Just don't do it again." She smiled, shaking his hand once before he jerked her whole body forward, away from Wade completely.
Riley let out a sigh of contentment as John Cena enveloped her in a great big bear hug. She slowly reciprocated the hug, relaxing into his embrace. Wade nodded his head in approval, watching as Riley's body relaxed. He trusted her with John, even if she had admitted to sleeping with him while she was gone. There was something about the leader of the Cenation that made Wade feel a little bit more at ease leaving her on Raw.
"I'll catch you later." John whispered, releasing his hold on her. She just nodded in agreement as she turned around and grabbed Wade's hand.
John couldn't help but smile as the two of them wandered down the hall. He knew that Wade Barrett was a good choice for Riley Williams and he hoped that nothing in the world would break them apart again.
