Chapter 8
Victoria and I finally got to the women's locker room. Took forever to get there too, and don't ask me how either, there are so many damn twists and turns in this freakin' arena. But anyways... Victoria smiled at me and knocked, "Yeah, come on in." And we went on in just as the sweet voice had told us to do.
There were various Diva's in the locker room, some were chatting, some were getting prepared for their up coming matches and their spots on RAW. Trish and Amy were the first two up. "Hi! I'm Trish. It's nice to meet you." I smiled, "We've met Trish." She looked at me oddly.
I rolled my eyes, "What is with this. No one freakin' recognizes me. Kendra ring any bells??" Trish's face turned red, "OH sweetie! I feel so bad that I didn't recognize you now. You've changed SO MUCH though. I remember when you were just a little thing following Kev and Shawn around like a lost puppy."
I nodded, "Yep. I was their little shadow. But I don't really think I've changed THAT much, have I??" Trish smiled, "You've turned into a lovely young woman." I rolled my eyes, "Okay then Trish, whatever you say."
Amy smiled, "It's great to see you again Kendra. I seem to remember a young man with green hair mentioning you earlier, didn't realize it was because you were here though. What brings you here tonight?" I smiled, "What, there has to be a reason? Nah... I was in town visitin' Kev and Shawnie said ya'll had a show tonight, so HERE I AM!"
"That's cool. How's life been?" I smiled, "Pretty good, pretty good." Victoria cut me off before I could elaborate anymore though. "Yep. There was a reason I brought Kendra along." She paused for added effect, "Kendra here has NEVER had a makeover before. I figure what better first experience then with the Diva's."
Trish and Stacy's faces lit up. "A makeover!? Ooo... what are you doing tonight?" I smiled at Trish, "Well, Paulie mentioned that Kev might have people over tonight after the show. If that's really the case feel free to some on over." Amy smiled, "Is there a particular person you want to be a Kevin's house tonight?" I blushed.
"Ooo... that's a yes. Who is he?" I debated over telling them or not, I mean I HAD kept my crush a secret for years now, should I really ruin it and tell people? I sighed, "Well... if you SWEAR not to tell anyone I'll let you know. But you can't tell ANYONE." And I looked straight at Amy. Amy rolled her eyes, "Damn... you'd think I don't know how to keep a secret by the way you looked at me. I won't tell Matt."
I smiled, "Okay then... I feel rather stupid saying this out loud. ESPICALLY since I know he likes someone else... but well, I've liked him for years, and it sure as hell doesn't seem like it's gonna stop anytime soon. It's Shane." Nidia looked at me oddly, "Shane's married."
I smiled, "No, no, no. You misunderstood me. NOT McMahon. Shane Helms." Amy's eyes lit up, then she thought about it, "Wait. You KNOW he likes someone else? What are you talking about??"
"He told me he was in love with some beautiful woman earlier. He said more then just beautiful, but after a while I just sorta tuned him out." Everyone laughed, Stacy came over, "So... what do you want to wear tonight?" I thought about it and smiled, "Something with a little green in it, but not too much." Stacy nodded, "Make's sense, wearing your man's favorite color."
After a while we picked a black tube top and a black, white and green striped skirt. The shirt didn't show off any stomach, thank god. And the stripes on the skirt were diagonal, if that makes any sense. It was actually VERY cute. I'm glad everyone helped pick it out. I would take some credit for it and say I helped... but well, I didn't.
Trish became in charge of the hair and Stacy was in charge of the makeup. The rest of the girls were just helping with their opinions and what not. Trish's eyes lit up, "I know exactly what to do with your hair! You straightened it this morning?" I smiled, "Well, it wasn't exactly morning... but yep." Trish smiled, "You don't mind if I curl it all do you?" I thought about it, "Go for it. From one extreme to the other."
Stacy sat down across from me while Trish started to fiddle with my hair. "What have you been doing since you graduated?" I smiled, "Well, I graduated about a year ago. Took awhile for me to find out what I actually wanted to do... but I'm very happy with what I chose."
Amy laughed, "And what exactly would that be Miss Nash?" I smiled, "I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. I'm a web designer. Lotsa fun let me tell you." I turned to all the other girls, "You all have a website, don't you?" Amy and Trish smiled, "We do." I nodded, "Thought so. Plus there's always the Diva's website."
Then I smiled, "And of course the sites the fans create... those are awesome. Well, I take that back, not ALL of them are awesome, but there are some pretty damn cool ones out there."
Stacy smiled, "Our fans are awesome." I nodded, "Oh sorry Trish." "No Problem hun. I didn't hurt you, did I?" I smiled at the concern in her voice, "Nope. I'm fine." Amy smiled, "Okay... I'm gonna be a bit nosey now." I laughed, "Go right ahead. I figure I know what you're gonna ask anyway."
Amy shrugged, "Probably. Now earlier you said Shane likes someone else. What were you talking about?" I looked at her oddly, "He told me about some woman, how she's beautiful, sweet and all that type of stuff. At first I wanted to know all about her, I mean, he's a great guy he deserves to be happy. But after a while it just got on my nerves so I went to the bathroom to feel sorry for myself."
Amy still didn't understand it, "That doesn't make any sense to me though. Shane hasn't mentioned anything to anyone else about her. Did he tell you her name?" I rolled my eyes, "No. The ONE thing I wanted to know about her and he didn't tell me. All he told me was that I know her. No real details though, only that her eyes were really pretty, but everyone's eyes are pretty in one way or another." Amy nodded, "Okay. You don't mind if I ask Matt about this, do you?"
I shook my head. "No. Just as long as you don't tell him I like Shane. THAT would be embarrassing." Trish laughed, "It could be worse honey, at least you don't want to get with a married man." Everyone laughed, I sighed, "Now that WOULD be pretty bad wouldn't it" Then I added, "I've liked married men before... but I know there is no way anything would happen. Pretty much it's just a crush and nothing more in cases like that. I'd NEVER act on a crush with a married man."
Stacy smiled, "You have the right type of thinking. Very logical. The rat's don't think like that though. They just want to get with the guys so the can brag to their friends. It used to be really bad, but it doesn't happen much anymore. Most of the guys know how to keep it in their pants now." I laughed, "Ring Rats. I remember when you'd see one every corner you turned, how they always got in the arenas really confused me. I had to see so many skanky bitches when I stayed with Kev and the guys. Not something I'd like to relive."
I sighed, "That's the way the clique acted though. Everyone expected it because back then everyone did it." I rolled my eyes, "You were gone 250 days a year, you had physical needs. No one was expected to be faithful back in the day." I shook my head and sighed, "So fuckin' pathetic. Lets change the subject."
Amy laughed, "I agree. What do you want to talk about, anything specific?" I smiled, "Not really, what do you do to pass the time when you're on the road?" Stacy smiled, "Let's see... besides coming here and working we have autograph signings, photo shoots, and many other things dealing with work."
I smiled, Trish spoke up, "We go shopping a lot too." My smile got bigger, "I can see that being a lot of fun." Stacy laughed, "Of course it is! Wanna go shopping with us next time?" I nodded, "Sure. You just tell me when and where and I'll let you know if I can come."
Trish got done with my hair and Stacy started with the makeup. "Will someone get Shawn or Paul for me? I need to talk to them." Amy got up, "Sure, I'll go get them right now for you." I smiled, "Thanks Amy." And she was off to find the guys for me.
