Chapter 7 - Flirting

Terri and Shirley were both excited about attending RAW. Terri, because she missed her job and her friends and Shirley, because she had never been backstage before.

It was like a homecoming for Terri, everyone came over to welcome her back and in the process got to meet Shirley as well.

Terri had told her that they were like a family backstage, but Shirley couldn't get over how close everyone really was.

"Dude! You didn't tell us Terri was coming!" Rob shouted as he playfully punched Shane in the arm. "How are you doing princess?" he asked as he gave her a hug.

"I'm better now that I am here! It is so good to see everyone!" Terri replied, "Rob, this is my good friend Shirley, she is down visiting me for a few weeks." She said introducing the two.

'God Shirl, don't freeze' Shirl thought, 'Don't look like an idiot or he'll never talk to you again.'

"Nice to meet you Rob. Terri has told me a lot about you!" Shirl said, surprised that she could speak at all.

"Geez Terri, if all your friends are this hot you need to bring them around more often!" he said winking at Shirley and causing her to blush. "So I guess I'll see you at the party tonight?" He asked.

"I wouldn't miss it!" Shirley said beaming.

"Cool - Later!" Rob responded as he strolled off.

"God he's beautiful!" Shirley said out loud not meaning too.

"He's single too!" Terri whispered thinking it was funny to see her friend blush. "His wife passed away nearly a year ago. You'll have to get to know him better tonight at the party!"

Part 2

Vince caught up with Terri as she was showing Shirley around the backstage area.

"Terri, it is great to see you back on your feet. How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Great! I had my brace removed yesterday, so if the physiotherapy goes well this week, I should be able to start light training next week!" she replied.

"That is fantastic!" he replied, "How would you feel about making an appearance tonight? Valet Shane out to the ring, I know your fans would love to see you!"

"Well, I don't have any clothes, and hair and make-up is backed up already!" She responded

"You can wear something of mine!" Amy butts in.

"And I can do your hair and make-up, it'll be like old times." Shirl said

"And who might this be?" Vince asked

"I'm sorry Vince, this is my friend Shirley, she has come down to visit and I brought her out to meet everyone." Terri responded "By the sounds of it I guess I'll take you up on your offer!"

"Great! Go get ready, Shane is up third!" he replied "It was nice to meet you Shirley!"

Part 3

"I have never seen any of the WWE employees do as good a job as you have done. She looks amazing!" Amy declared when Shirley had finished Terri's hair and make-up. "You need to do this professionally!

"Thanks! I've always liked doing it, but I had never thought about it as a career." Shirl said.

"WOW! You look gorgeous!" Shane said as he entered the locker room. "Are you ready?"

"I think so! I am actually nervous! It seems like it has been so long!" Terri replied

"You will do great as always!" Shane replied reassuringly. "Shirl, you can watch the match from the gorilla position. Rob will be there with you, his match is after mine and he always stretches there."

"Great!" Shirl responded blushing slightly at the thought of watching Rob stretch!

"Get your mind out of the gutter! We have to go now!" Terri whispered playfully to her friend as they left the locker room.
