It Doesn't Matter

Ashley was too involved in the match between Stone Cold and William Regal to notice the big, muscly guy tap on her shoulder at first. She felt the second tap though, and turned around to yell at the person, but thought twice about it when she noticed just how huge he was. So instead she just smiled and asked what the problem was.

"Miss, I have been asked to keep you behind after the show, so if you could please wait in your seat until everyone leaves, it would be greatly appreciated." The guy who I then recognised as Jim Dotson, Head of WWF Security told me.

"Umm, why? I swear it wasnt my fault!" Ashley started to plead with Jim.

"What isn;t your fault?"

"Whatever it is you think I did, I swear I haven't done anything!!" Ashley told him with a wavy voice.

Jim couldn;t help but laugh at that. "You haven;t done anything Miss, at least not that we're aware of. Someone backstage would like to meet you, so if you would wait here for me when the show finishes, that would be fine." Jim told the young lady who visibly relaxed after his little speech.

" Uh okay, i'll be here."

Ashley relaxed after hearing that she wasn't in trouble. A thought suddenly struck her, and she turned around to ask Jim who wanted to meet her, only to bump into some drunk guy who yelled at her for being clumsy.

"Sorry" she mumbled, sitting down to watch the rest of the match.

As the match grew to an end, and Smackdown itself finished, Ashley stayed exactly where she was, waiting for Jim to come and get her, and tried to figure out who wanted to meet her.

"What if it's... Nah, it couldn't be...but he did smile...but he smiles at everyone...but I thought he did watch me an awful lot tonight." Ashley thought out aloud to herself, smiling at the thought of Test being the one who wanted to meet her. But, thats impossible, she thought as she straightened her clothes out whn she saw Jim approaching.

Drew watched the girl from the gorilla position, hiding behind the curtain. He laughed as he saw her looking around, lost in her own little world. She looked so good in her dark flare jeans and blue singlet top. He found himself wondering what it would feel like to run his fingers through that flame coloured hair with what looked like natural curls through it. And her scent. When he was standing in front of her, he could pick out her scent from the gross mix of body sweat and beer in the crowd. She smelt like almonds and vanilla. He knew that scent well... His sister used a moisturiser of the same flavour.

He smiled to himself as he thought of his family. His Dad and brother, David would crack up at this one when he told them he fell in love with a fan holding a sappy sign at an event. Naturally Nancy, his sister, and his Mum would think it was the cutest thing ever.

He kept on smiling as he saw her straighten out her clothes when she saw Jim coming her way. It had taken forever to convince Jim to let her backstage. He had to go check with Vince, but he was too busy and told Jim to handle it. It ended up costing Drew a free drink for Jim the next time they went to a club. That wasnt too bad, he could handle one drink. Seeing the two make their way backstage, Drew quickly ran to the dressing room to get rid of the other guys so he could have a moment alone with his belle. He had grown to call her belle, as next to Jim she reminded Drew of "The Beauty and The Beast". He ran into the locker room to find Adam, Jay, Jeff, Matt, Rob (Van Dam) and Amy, who was sitting on her boyfriend Matt's lap. He looked around at them and asked, or more like told them to leave, for a few minutes.

"Uuumm, let me think about that..NO!!" Jay said, laughing at his own joke.

He looked up to see Drew wasnt laughing.

"Oh come on, it was funny."

"No, it wasnt, now come on guys, I need to speak to this girl alone, and, well, correct me if i'm wrong, but you all being in here does not mean we are alone."

"Why dont you just go outside?" Adam asked, a wicked smile spreading across his face."Unless of course we need to make sure you two dont get up to anything freaky!" He continued, making everybody laugh.

Hey Adam.." Drew said to his friend.

"Yeah Man?"

"Shut Up!" Drew yelled jokingly at Adam.

"OOOHH, come on guys, lets leave the loverboy alone for awhile." Amy told the rest of the group.

"NO," Jeff said "I wanna see this girl that has Drew dancin' in circles." Jeff laughed along with everyone else.

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. Amy opened the door to reveal the girl Drew had been talking about all night standing behind Jim, looking a bit intimidated.

"Hey Aimes"

"Hey Jim, how are you?"

"Pretty good thanks, I gotta run, but this is the girl Drew wanted to meet." Jim said, moving aside to reveal a star struck Ashley.

"Thanks Jim, I'll look after her now" Amy thanked Jim, followed by Ashley as he ran off down the hall.

"Did I just hear right?? Drew wanted to meet me? As in Test?" Ashley asked a laughing Amy.

"Yeah, the one and only, Hi, Im Amy" Amy introduced herslef, shaking Ashleys hand.

"Wow, very nice to meet you, Im Ashley." Ashley felt at ease with Amy, which was a good thing.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to Drew." Amy led Ashley into the room.

Ashley entered the room behind Amy, suddenly feeling very out of place. Drew quickly spotted her and led her back outside. She laughed when she heard Amy say "And that was Ashley" to a laughing group.

"Hi,"Drew said to a shaking Ashley.

"Um Hi,"Ashley replied to Drew

" Im Drew, but I guess you already knew that." Drew introduced himself to Ashley, both of them laughing slightly.

" Haha, yeah I did, Im Ashley, call me Ash, but I bet you DIDN'T already know that!" Ashley told Drew, who was laughing at her quick comeback.

"No I didn''t but I do now."

"Your shaking." He said.

"I didnt notice actually, but im pretty cold, I forgot my jacket, and nerves get to me" She told Drew, "And now im babbling, sorry."

"Dont worry about it, it can be pretty nerve-wracking I suppose, being around people you like, but dont worry, we dont bite, well, except for Adam, you have to be careful of him!" Drew jokingly told Ashley, who was now giggling uncontrolabley.

" Well, do you mind if I ask why you wanted to meet me? Not that I mind or anything, im just curious."

"Well, Ash,"Drew stopped to smile at the sound of her name on his lips, yep, he could get used to that, "I just had htis feeling that I needed to get to know you, so here you are."

"Here I am indeed." A smiling Ashley told Drew.

"I know I probably sound like a complete idiot, and we only just met, but would you like to go out sometime? We're all heading out to a club now, would like to come with us?' He asked hopefully.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" She asked back just as hopefully.

"What would you say if I said yes?"

"Oh hell yeah" She told him laughing.

"Well, then yes I am!! Come on, lets get you introduced to people so we can go." Drew said, taking her hand and leading her back into the room.

They soon left, Ashley making plans to meet them at the club in her car. She stepped into her car and snuggled into the warm leather jacket of Drew's that he had lent her. He was so nice, so caring, so hot, man she could go on forever. He had actually asked her, her.. Ashley Collis, out on a date. She wasnt sure if she could trust her feelings on this one, because they were telling her that she was in love. No way.. Right??

She pulled out of the parking lot thinking about the way his hand had felt linked with hers. Now she was headed out for a fun night of dancing and laughing with her new found friends. She had no idea what was ahead of them...No Idea.
