Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out, been dealing with a lot of
stuff but that's all over and now I can just write when I want! Yay me!
*~*~*~*
"Are you nervous?" John Cena asked his new valet, proudly slinging his arm over her shoulder as they walked by a group of guys huddled around the newest Diva's Undressed magazine.
Kiara grinned over at him and rolled her eyes. "I'm never nervous unless you give me a reason to be."
"I'm fighting Big Show and you're coming out with me."
"Then I might be a little nervous." She replied instantly, coming to a stop outside of the girl's locker room and turning back to John. "I gotta go get ready but come get me when it's time to go out, alright?"
He gave her a brief nod and walked away, dodging the taunts and insults Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, and A-Train were hurling in his direction.
Kiara watched him walk away with his hands shoved in his pockets and his head down and sighed before pushing open the door, immediately getting assaulted with whatever was being sprayed in an attempt to make the room smell better.
"Damn." She muttered, dropping her bags on one of the benches. "You girls get a little perfume happy or what's goin' on here?" She quipped.
Torrie and Dawn Marie glared over in her direction, still holding the spray bottles filled with the vile contents.
"It's not our fault you can't appreciate fine perfume if it's sprayed right in front of you." Dawn sniffed, setting down the small, gold colored bottle.
Kiara rolled her eyes and didn't even make an attempt to respond to that and pulled out her clothes, setting them down next to her bag. She tried ignoring the two divas as they approached her, but finally got annoyed enough to acknowledge their presence. "Can I help you?"
"She was just wondering." Torrie started, jabbing her thumb in Dawn's direction. "Why you wear the clothes you do."
"You mean these ones?" Kiara asked dutifully, looking down at her baggy khaki pants from American Eagle and the light blue tank top and a jersey John had made her promise to wear over it all.
"Yeah, it's not really tight at all." Dawn marveled, picking up the jersey to look at it. It was blue and yellow with short sleeves and she gingerly touched the fabric, practically causing Kiara to laugh out loud.
"You do realize you two amuse me to no end, right?" She asked out loud, grabbing her pants from Torrie as she held them up to her narrow waist and openly gasped when they didn't look like they would be skintight. She didn't give the two divas a chance to respond and grabbed her clothes and took them into the bathroom where she changed quickly.
"Never seen stuff like that before." Torrie marveled out loud, pulling on her own matching, turquoise, tight as hell pant and shirt outfit. "That should be something we look into."
Dawn nodded in agreement and then smiled when Kiara came out of the bathroom, fully dressed and ready to go out to the ring besides her hair and make-up. "See." She started. "If that girl looks that cute like that, imagine what you and I would look like. Honey what's your name again? It's completely slipped my mind."
"Kiara." She replied, standing in front of the mirror, pulling her hair back into a ponytail.
"That's such a cute name." Torrie complimented, standing beside the new diva as she put on some make-up. "You should really think about doing something other then just mascara and lip gloss, you have such pretty eyes."
Kiara pulled away from her and looked at the two suspiciously. "What the hell are you trying to do to me?" She demanded and Dawn laughed in response.
"We're just trying to make you feel welcome." She promised, pulling her own dark brown hair into a ponytail that closely resembled Kiara's. "And it's nice for us to get the new divas for a change, instead of RAW. It's so much better over here anyway."
"I'm sure." Kiara muttered, rolling her eyes. She grabbed the visor and secured it on her head. "It's called a visor." She supplied before Dawn or Torrie had a chance to ask. "It's a type of hat." They nodded knowingly.
"Thanks for the clarification." Torrie replied with a grin and all three girls looked up at the knocking on the door.
"Kiara, we hafta go out!" John called from the other side of the door and Dawn and Torrie immediately lost the friendly looks on their faces as the brunette reached over and pulled the door open.
"What do you want?" She asked, placing one hand on her hip.
"I'm here to get Kiara for the match." John replied slowly. "C'mon now Dawn, I knew you were a little slow but I didn't know it was to this extent."
Kiara smirked and brushed past the two who were looking on with very bewildered looks.
"So you ready?" John asked once they were safely out of the room.
"Yup, plus I'm just glad to be out of that room." She answered honestly.
"That bad?"
"You have no idea."
*~*~*~*
About fifteen minutes later John pushed back through the curtain with Kiara next to him, his arm slung over her shoulder.
"Next time you shouldn't be stupid enough to mess with both the Big Show and A-Train." Edge smirked and Rey Mysterio slapped him a high-five and they walked away laughing.
"I'd like to see you able to go up against the two of them." Kiara shot back before John had a chance to tell her to shut up. Edge and Rey spun around and glared at her with annoyed looks on their faces. "You guys would run away before they had a chance to get into the ring."
"Better then getting the shit beaten out of us."
"At least he didn't run away with his tail between his legs!" Kiara yelled, an annoyed look on her face.
Edge was about to respond to Kiara when John grabbed her arm and spun her around so she was facing them. "Please don't do this. Don't give them the satisfaction of knowing that they got to you." He pleaded, wincing as she accidentally bumped into his arm.
"But." She started and sighed when she saw the look on his face. "Fine." She gave in reluctantly. "I'll drop it today but it's really pissing me off."
"What is?"
"The fact that all these people can just think they can say all this shit about you and nothing will happen because you just stand there and take it." Kiara said.
The look on John's face hardened. "That's the only way you can get around this business, to just take everything as it is and to not let anything get to you. And you if you don't know how to do that then you have no idea what being in this business means."
Kiara stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "I may not know but I'm willing to learn."
He sighed and started walking again. "If you want to learn then I'm willing to teach you."
