Chapter 7

Eve waited patiently outside the locker room of Evolution, waiting for them to return so she could talk to Triple H, she needed questions answered. The triad of herself, Shawn and Sean had left the ringside area before they did and she had come immediately here, there was no chance of her missing him.

Eve needed to know why he had turned his back in the ring to Shawn to throw her out. He should've known that Shawn would've taken the opportunity to attack him, but it ended up as a four on two, it ended up to their favour. Did Hunter do it to help her, to keep the rest of Evolution from demolishing her or did he do it for the four on two? She remembered before the show had begun, when she had first come to the arena, Hunter had offered his services to her, to keep her safe, was that what he was doing? Was he following through on his word? Even now that he had found out that she was aligned with a group that was to take down the company? Maybe he really was trying to keep her safe, maybe he knew Shawn wouldn't so he had to take things into his own hands in the ring. He couldn't fend off Evolution, he couldn't explain things to them right then, so the only thing he could do was throw her out of the ring. Maybe, she didn't like maybes, she liked answers, although in most cases she has yet to get them, she would get one here though, she would force one out of him if the need arose. But that didn't erase the pain she had in her upper back from colliding with the barrier…

"Little wusses, did they really think they could take us out?" The voice of Randy Orton drifted around the corner from where Eve stood.

"They don't know what they're up against, we're the best in this business." Ric Flair added in before they turned the corner.

"Well, look what we have here." Batista smirked at Eve. "One of the little triad."

Eve stood up straighter and tried to look as tough as possible as she glanced around the four of them. Triple H in the back was giving her a look that said that she should have known better then to come here, to wait out here.

"Well, that just gives us another chance to deal out some pain." Randy stated.

Triple H pushed past them then turned to face them. "Let her be, do you really want to beat up on a woman?"

"In one word, yes." Randy answered trying to go past Triple H but he pushed him back.

"I said to let her be." Hunter growled at him before turning on his heel. He grabbed Eve's arm and led her away from an angry Evolution. "What the hell are you doing coming around here?" he asked after they got a reasonable ways away and he had turned on her. "I didn't throw you out of the ring so you could come and offer yourself up to them to attack."

"I hardly offered myself up to them." Eve replied, narrowing her eyes at him. "And where do you come off throwing me out of the ring anyway? I didn't ask you to, so maybe you should have kept your hands to yourself."

"What, and let those two take you apart?" Hunter replied. "You think they would have done mercy on you because you're a female?"

"I didn't ask for mercy, did I?" Eve asked back, getting right in his face. "And from here on out I'd appreciate you keeping away from me unless you plan on beating the hell out of me."

"You want me to beat the hell out of you?" He repeated. "That can be arranged."

"Then arrange it." She told him. "Cause I wouldn't mind a few swings at you and your cocky attitude."

"My cocky attitude? I just helped you out, if anything, you should be thanking me." He stated.

"Thanking you? For what? Throwing me against a barrier?" She asked. "And I didn't ask for your help and I don't want it."

"You don't have to ask." He told her. "I'm not about to stand by and let them injure you."

"Too bad, just don't get in my way or I'll be forced to do something I won't regret." She warned.

"You could hit me all you want, I wouldn't hit you back." He said.

"That's your problem, not mine." She said and tried to go past him but he took her arm to keep her there.

"Actually, it's about to become your problem as well." He told her and at her quizzical look he pressed his mouth to hers for a moment. "I'm not about to let them get their hands on you." He told her quietly.

Her expression had changed to that of surprise before she narrowed her eyes again. "Don't ever touch me again." She hissed at him before pushing him away and stalking off to her own locker room.

Triple H watched her go before shaking his head and sighing. "That didn't go as well as I had hoped." He muttered before heading back to the Evolution locker room. He just wanted to make sure nothing happened to her, how was he to know he'd end up wanting to kiss her?

Eve slammed her locker room door and sat down on the couch, she leaned forward laying her head in her hands. Why did he have to do that? It created confusion and made things complicated. It would have been so much simpler if he had just let Evolution beat her up in the ring, it would have been so much simpler. But confusion always followed her, complications always followed her, ever since her mothers accident, she had always had a complicated life because she had always had questions. But now there were too many. She had questions about her father and this grand scheme of his, if he was being as honest as she had hoped from the start that he would be, she had questions about Kevin's overall involvement in this, she had questions about Shawn and Sean's motives, she didn't need extra questions going through her head about Hunter, and she definitely didn't need thoughts of him filling her head.

She got up and started to pace back and forth. So what if he had kissed her? So what if she had felt a little bit of want at the touch? So what if she felt an attraction? It could all be pushed down, she didn't need anyone and right now she couldn't afford to be with any man, especially him. Her father would kill her if he ever found out, it would ruin everything, no, she couldn't think about this, she couldn't let it full her head, she couldn't let him dull her senses and her knowledge of the expectations put on her by her father. So why couldn't she get him out of her head? Because she's focusing too much on it, she told herself, she just needed to relax, none of it mattered, all that mattered was the goal and that goal went straight through Hunter, there was no time for niceties with him, no time for anything at all with him. She and the others had to take him out, she didn't want anything to do with him that went further then in the ring…
