Disclaimer: own nothing. Yes I'm back folks. Dawn Hiatus is finished as so
are my exams, woohoo. Hope this doesn't disappoint. The part about Raven is
true.
"I don't want to hear it Sean"
"But Dawn, you must. Can't you see what a perfect plan Piper and I are creating? It's a masterpiece" Sean says imploringly, not even needing to break into a run to keep up with me as I stalk through the corridors
"A masterpiece?" I whirl around indignantly, causing him to nearly barrel into me. Luckily he stops before he can, knowing knocking me over is not the quickest way back to my heart "someone else used to call his ventures 'masterpieces' his name is Raven and his current one is a Clockwork Orange House Of Fun in NWA-TWA which means being kicked out of the WWE and fighting Jeff Jarret until your face is covered in blood"
It's true. Tazz has been keeping me up to date with the activities of Raven and Justin. They're both in the NWA-TWA, this little promotion that's doing pretty good. Lance tells me things too, when he phones if at all. He keeps his distance now. He misses Justin, they were tag team partners and very close friends until Justin was the one who kicked him out of ECW but they made up when becoming part of the Alliance. Impact Players can never be mad at each other for long. That's just the way it is. I just wish that were true for me and Lance. It's like he's cut me out. I can hear the hurt in his voice when we do talk and it cuts right through me like a blade.
Things have changed between me and Sean. As for Piper, he's an old man who thinks wearing a skirt looks good on him. Sorry Piper, only Raven can get away with that and he makes it look sexy. Anyway their 'magnificent plan' was to go after that sweet Zach Gowen, you know, the guy with one leg. It all started when Mr America gave his flag to Zach, who was in the audience, to hold. Then Piper started insulting Zach, he and Mr America got into a fight so Zach hopped the barricade and hit Piper with the flag, It all ended with Piper pulling off Zach's fake leg. Piper's face was priceless. He had no idea the leg was fake. Sean thought it was funny. He and Piper laughed and laughed about it. I told him I didn't find it funny so he told me to lighten up. They've been picking on Zach ever since. Serves them right then that at Judgement Day Mr America won against Piper when Zach interfered. I laughed at that. Sean hasn't been loving towards me since. Oh there's still the sex but that's nothing to do with love, that's just need and want.
What Sean and I feel for each other is lust, 100% pure lust. We're driven to each other by our sex drives and the magnetic attraction towards each other. We look electric together and the sex is mind blowing. But there is not love there. He knows he's just a stop-off until I find Lance and he finds me. He knew that from the beginning when he saw the way my eyes lit up when I spoke to Lance on my cell-phone. That is true love with roots deeper than the Earth can handle.
"But they are still perfect magnificent plans" Sean says softly, his hand caressing my cheek. I don't stop him but glare at him angrily with fiery eyes as I stand there "so perfect, I am merely doing Vince's bidding for him, he is a genius and I obey, Piper knows exactly what he's talking about as well, there was a time when you did exactly what Vince wanted you to wasn't there?"
I shudder slightly. Sure I did, he's a dirty old man who hits on anything with breasts. It was my way into the WWE and on the side of power. It worked though and I'd do it again.
"Sure Sean but that was to get on TV and get some recognition" I reply, swatting his hand away at last "not to crush some poor guy's career just because he has one leg and supports Mr America"
"He is Hulk Hogan and we're going to prove it" Sean says, his voice becoming hard steel changing from his usual thick silk "don't tell me you don't believe that"
"I don't know what I believe Sean but what I do know is that I don't want to see you for a while, I don't like what you're doing"
Sean stares at me for a second, a familiar clear eyed piercing stare. Then he moves away. He's dressed in that familiar black, a long trench coat with silver flames burning up the sleeves. God he looks sexy but inside he's changed. He listens to only Piper and Mcmahon now. He's beyond my reach.
I sigh and begin walking back to my locker room. I don't want to cry but Sean drives me to the very edge of passion and back again. He makes me feel incredible but recently, I've been feeling disgust towards him and that letch Piper who always looks down my top like I don't notice. Now I know about doing what it takes to get your way and get to your opponent, I did a hell of a lot to get to Torrie. But I don't like what he's done to Zach.
Almost as if he's heard his name, Zach appears around the corner being helped along by Mr America. I smile a little at the concern on Mr America's face and quickly step forward to talk to them. When it gets back to Sean that I was talking with the enemy, I can't wait to see his face
"Zach are you alright?" I ask, gently touching his shoulder
He looks at me and immediately blushes. I know I'm looking hot in a tiny black skirt and a black scribble-patterned top with one long sleeve and sleeveless on the other side. I smile at him, my lips parted
"Yes thank you Dawn Marie" he shakily replies "it's a pleasure to meet you"
"You too, I've heard so much about you" I say, shaking one of his hands with gently pressure "and this must be Mr America, what an honour to meet you too"
Mr America nods his head at me but doesn't look into my eyes, keeping them averted somewhere else
"You'll have to excuse me ma'am, but I need to get Zach to somewhere he can sit down" he says in a rough gravely voice
"Oh hang on"
I dash down the corridor as fast as my black kitten heels will let me and grab a folding chair from a surprised crew member before walking back to where the pair stand. I quick unfold it and place it down in front of Zach and treating him to a ravishing smile. He smiles almost shyly back and with Mr America's help, lowers himself down. He carefully feels around his thigh and slots the leg back in properly.
"Is it ok?" I ask
"Yeah, it just came out a bit after I fell" he said ruefully
I nod, fire burning in my mind. Vince had shoved an unsuspecting Zach so that he fell over Piper who was kneeling down behind him and went crashing to the mat. Vince challenged him to an arm wrestling match next week with Zach's potential WWE career on the line. All Sean did was stand there and laugh.
"Well I'm sure you'll do just great next week" I say reassuringly "Vince is always trying to get on top of someone"
"I believe that you've been there before" Mr America abruptly says, turning to me with his arms crossed
"Once, to get in and maybe twice to seal the deal" I reply
"I know where I've seen you before!" Zach suddenly exclaims "you hang out with Sean O'Haire"
"So you could be spying for him and Piper" concedes Mr America
"No! Why would I do that?" I exclaim angrily "Sean and I aren't on the best of terms right now"
"That could just be a cover-up" Mr America counters "Piper and him are sneaky enough for that"
"Fine I'll go" I say, throwing my hands up
As I walk off, I throw a parting shot over my shoulder
"See you around Zach and Hogan!"
I am so mad! Why would I spy for Sean? Is that what everyone thinks of me or just crappy old wrestlers who have to find new pathetic gimmicks to survive? Now I like Zach but Mr America? Ha! If he's gonna treat me that way then I am not gonna do anything for him at all.
I haven't got a match yet tonight so I'm gonna go to Steph's office to ask for one. It's a futile gesture but I'm not going down without a fight. As I get to her door, it's thrown open and Vince himself swaggers out. He stops when he sees me and smiles
"Dawn, it's been a while" he says, shaking my hand
"Vince" I lower my eyes shyly "I haven't seen you for a long time"
"Well business is business" he replies "I hope you're enjoying Smackdown without me"
"It's been interesting" I say with a shake of my head and a laugh "I'm just off to see Stephanie for a match"
This causes a wide smile to cover Vince's face
"Yes you do that, I think you'll be presently surprised"
With that, he walks off down the corridor with a resounding laugh. I don't add that I'm disgusted by his treatment of Zach but I support him wholeheartedly when it comes to Mr America. Ah well, there's always next time. It seems that Vince'll be here as long as Mr America is. I knock neatly on Steph's door. When she barks for me to enter, I do so hiding a smile at her tone. I do get a surprise when I go on. Lying sexily out on the desk in a simple black dress with a neckline low enough to reveal a lot of fine cleavage is Sable. She winks at me and blows me a kiss. Steph is stood by the desk rifling through some papers. She scowls when she sees me enter
"I am not in the mood Dawn so don't try anything" she warns
"So I see, what's with the new desk ornament?" I ask with a wink back at Sable
Steph sighs exasperated as she slams the papers back into the file cabinet. She glares at Sable who smiles back
"That thing is my new assistant by orders of Daddy" she says, her words dripping with hate
Oh that's too perfect. Sable is going to be a blessing here. I can get matches and everything. I have a feeling Sable was put here for a punishment for Steph. Sable moves so that she's sat on the desk, one leg crossed over the other
"How's my baby doing?" she asks me
"Doing good, you?" I reply, kissing her on the cheek
"Wonderfully, Steph and I are going to get on so well"
"Oh you mean the same way you and Torrie got on well?" snaps Steph whirling round to glare "I don't think so and touch any of my paperwork without my permission and I will not be happy, don't mess with the contracts either.."
I can see that Steph's working herself into a rage so I decide to leave. I mouth to Sable that I'll meet her later which Sable nods to. I can see she's revelling in her new destructive position. Its sure going to be fun to see what happens. Stephanie thought Sable was a good investment, a one- up on Bischoff until Sable started destroying Torrie, Steph's favourite princess. Now she'll have her hands full.
Sean is still plaguing my mind as I step back out into the corridor. I miss him. I haven't got to see Dia much today and she usually keeps me cheerful. She and Jamie faced Torrie and Rikishi and poor Dia got a Stink Face so she's in the shower with Jamie currently. She couldn't speak when she came out, she felt too dirty to. She needed to scrub herself clean. I hope she's ok. I know just how gross that is.
I need to talk to the network. Someone I can vent to and can vent to me. Then I know. Jazz. I get to my locker room and grab my cell and speed-dial her number. After a few fraught minutes, she picks up
"What's up girl?" she sounds the happiest she has been in ages, hardly any venom in her voice "how are things at Smackdown?"
I'm taken aback by her apparent happiness and lack of complaints about Trish or Victoria. I guess I'd better take advantage of it.
"OK I guess" I reply "Sean and I aren't happy at the moment"
"Sean? As in O'Haire Matrix-wannabe?" Jazz says with a short bark of a laugh "I thought you had better taste than that girl"
"Hey it isn't that bad and the sex is great" I say
"Oh so it's all about the sex now huh?" Jazz says scornfully "you've been in love with Lance for as long as I care to think bout it, and don't deny it, and you ain't ever done nothing with him"
"I know but with Sean, it's different"
"Different how? You can be physical with him like you can't be with Lance so that's ok? No it ain't Dawn, one of these days you gotta tell Lance how you feel otherwise the whole network will"
"Alright I'll tell him...sometime" I manage
"Damn right you will, now me and the Mack we're cool coz we're in love and we knew it had to be each other" Jazz continues "you and Lance know it has to be each other but don't do a damn thing about it"
"I guess we're both afraid" I say "he's never shown me that he loves me in that way"
Jazz makes this growl in her throat and I think for a second that she's gonna hang up on me but luckily she doesn't.
"I ain't gonna say no more bout that coz I'm just gonna say somethin' I regret, you got me?"
"I got you" I reply "hey you're the champ again, I forgot to congratulate you"
"I'm on top of the division" Jazz crows "yeah this belt is back where it belongs, around my waist and I got Mr Theodore Long looking out for me, don't worry I told him you're ok even if you are white"
"Uh thanks"
I'm not sure if I'm grateful or not. Long kinda creeps me out, the way he peers through those glasses and throws his shoe into the ring to break a count. I wouldn't want him in my corner but he works for Jazz
"When you gonna come here for some partying?" Jazz asks "the network wants you here"
"I don't know Jazz, soon maybe" I muster
"Ok, well I gotta go now to be with my man, you feel me?"
"I feel you, see you soon yeah?"
"Sure, later Dawn"
I smile as I put the phone down. Jazz is hardly ever in such a good mood. I hope it lasts long. If she loses the title, she's gonna be hell to be around. I'm just glad I'm on Smackdown for once. Her temper is terrifying. I toss my hair and begin repacking my bag. I'm going to go out with Sable tonight and maybe Dia and Jamie too. I could do with a good night out. Maybe I'll call on the FBIs too. I love their company and maybe John's as well. There's a lot to choose from. Makes me feel loved. Sable and I have a lot to plan for next week so I'd better start moving. With her in Stephanie's office, there's no end to what we can achieve and I for one am gonna take advantage of it.
"I don't want to hear it Sean"
"But Dawn, you must. Can't you see what a perfect plan Piper and I are creating? It's a masterpiece" Sean says imploringly, not even needing to break into a run to keep up with me as I stalk through the corridors
