Hands Down

She watched him from the corner of her eye. She tried her hardest to make it as discrete as possible; that she wasn't more interested in what he was saying at his table, than what they were conferring about at her own.

Nevertheless, there he was, the center of all attention; the center of her attention. She inwardly smiled, and bit her bottom lip thinking of him, and the time they spent together. It was their own private time; that no one else knew of.

She had entered the world of the WWE, during the summer in what they called a Diva Search, but she, as did the others, knew they had been picked based on their looks. Although she had not come out the winner of the contest, she still received a contract a few months later. Apparently, they had been very impressed with her abilities, and wanted to permanently showcase her, and make her a weekly fixture for their fans.

And, so it had been for the past couple of months. She had become one of them; traveling to a different city every day, getting off one plane, and on the next. In the beginning, she mostly stuck with her past Diva Search competitors, however, that was not the case now.

She had been placed in a storyline with one of the men that Vince thought highly of. When she had been asked to see McMahon, she had been a little worried; thinking they were firing her already. But, that was not the case. She had entered to find not only Mr. McMahon, but the superstar in question she was to work with.

From the moment she laid eyes on him, she knew there was something about him she didn't like. He had been sitting in one of the plush leather chairs facing the Chairman's desk, and had this air about him; like he thought he was better than everyone else. He then introduced himself to her, and she knew that she was sure she didn't like him. He looked her up and down, as if making sure she was up to his standards. He shrugged and said she would do, and then finally introduced himself, making it seem like he was doing her a favor by presenting himself, and by working with her.

Despite the fact that she knew she could already hardly stand him, she didn't protest to working with him. This was her chance to finally make it, and no one, even a cocky wrestler, was going to stop her from achieving what she wanted. So, she agreed to work with him in a storyline that had already begun on SmackDown! She didn't know how long the storyline would last, and just hoped that she would be able to perform up to the WWE's standards.

The night of her debut, she was introduced as being part of her employers "Cabinet". She almost laughed out loud when she heard him say that; it sounded completely ridiculous, but she went with it. She soon came to realized she didn't have to do much, just strut alongside the superstars and say a few words here and there. That was her daily onscreen routine.

It was also on the night of her debut that she met the man of her dreams. She had been rushing through the halls, in search of catering; her "employer" had come to think that she was a sort of personal assistant of some kind. She hadn't wanted to argue with him; not on her first night, so she just agreed to do whatever it was he asked.

So, in her hurry to find some beverages, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going, and had walked straight into something, or rather someone. The impact had caused her to lose her balance, but she never hit the floor; he had caught her before she had the chance to hurt herself. She looked up to into the eyes of her savior and immediately broke into a smile without realizing.

He had piercing blue eyes which where looking down at her. He towered over her, as she was only 5'4, and he had a very well built body. He smiled down at her, and excused himself like a gentleman for running her over. At this, she could hardly speak, but she mustered out a faint "its ok", at which he nodded, and said he had to start getting ready for the show, but would catch up with her later.

The moment he was out of sight, she couldn't contain the smile on her face. It had appeared when she had first got a look at him, but that was nothing compared to what it was now. She was grinning ear to ear, and couldn't seem to stop. She had felt a surge of electricity from just being in his arms, and couldn't believe how it didn't seem to go away. She was like a little school girl with her first crush all over again. She kept going over what he had said millions of times, and felt some sort of hope that she would see him again.

She had been broken from her thoughts by JBL's booming voice, yelling at her for taking too much time with getting his drink and for just hanging around doing nothing. After that, she had to endure what seemed an endless lecture from him; trying to explain to her that if she wanted to make it big in the business, she couldn't just hang around and think her looks would work for her.

Of course she knew this beforehand, and didn't need him to lecture her on it, but instead she nodded her head in all the right places and assured him she would work efficiently from now on. After all she did want to make it in the business and was going to be damned before she would let some pompous ass ruin her chances by running to McMahon.

Since then, he had insisted she travel with them. Now, she hardly saw her friends from the Diva Search and whenever she did, it was only for short periods of time. He continued to treat her like an assistant instead of a coworker, and it had begun to really piss her off. She tried hard not to let him get to her, for he had already threatened to go to McMahon and get her fired, which was exactly the last thing she wanted.

Throughout this time, she continued to interact with her new found friend. They never did much but talk after the show where no one would be able to see them, especially JBL. For if he had ever found them together, they both knew he would certainly not want to have anything to do with her. And, as good as that sounded, she knew that if JBL found out, McMahon would soon also hear of it.

Soon, she begun to think that he would never ask her out. It had been a few months and he hadn't made a move. She was becoming quite impatient; this had never happened to her before. So, instead of waiting, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

They had been watching a movie in his hotel room, and she was snuggled up next to him. She kept sneaking glances at him, as she continued to watch the movie. Finally, she decided to make her move, and just as he was going to say something, she kissed him. Immediately, he kissed her back without any hesitation.

Since that moment, they had been together, in secret of course. They had both thought it best to continue meeting on their own time. They both knew how JBL felt about him, and if he knew she was seeing him, JBL would try even harder to destroy him, and their union.


"Amy, are you listening?" JBL bellowed.

She averted her eyes back to him and smiled, "Of course, and I completely agree with you."

He eyed her suspiciously, "Something's different Amy, there has been for quite a little while now. I dismissed it at first, but now I simply can't do that." he began raising his voice.

The other superstars in catering were all startled by his outburst, and were now focusing their attention on them; including Amy's boyfriend.

"John, why don't you just calm down, you're making a scene," she insisted.

"Don't you tell me what to do! If I want to make a scene, dammit, I'll make one."

She continued to sit in her place, not making a movement. JBL had had these outburst before, and Amy Weber knew it was best to stay calm and not provoke him even more in these situations.

JBL sat back down next to her, and got right back in her face, "So who is it? Which one of them are you sleeping with?"

"None of them" she responded a little too quickly.

"I'm only asking you this because I want to help you. All the guys here, they don't take relationships seriously. I think you might be making a big mistake here Amy, you might think it's something more, when it really isn't."

"Don't you worry about me, JBL; you never have before."

"Now you listen to me, I want to know what the hell is going on!"

It was at this moment that John Cena had had enough of what was happening. He marched over to JBL's table and stood right behind Amy Weber. He stared at JBL, who immediately noticed his presence. They eyed each other dangerously, as Amy turned around and was shocked to see him behind her.

"Is everything alright here?" Cena asked as he placed a hand on Amy's shoulder comfortingly

"This has nothing to do with you Cena, so why don't you go back where you came from." JBL stood, and was now eye level with John.

"That's where you're wrong. Anything that has to do with Amy, is my business. Now I saw you harassing my girlfriend, and I would really damn appreciate it if you would just leave her alone."

Both Amy and JBL looked over at John in shock. She had always thought he didn't want to make their relationship public in any way, but she sure had been wrong. The look of shock on her face was soon replaced by a smile as she thought of how he referred to her as his "girlfriend".

However, the look of shock on JBL's face never ceased to exist. "What exactly are you saying Cena; that Amy has been having a relationship behind my back with you."

"That's exactly what I'm saying"

They were now standing mere inches from one another.

JBL tore his gaze from Cena and stepped away looking at Amy, "Is this true?"

Amy didn't know what to say. If she confessed she was sure to end up in some sort of trouble with either JBL or, worse, Vince McMahon. On the other hand, she had been dying to let everything out, and with John taking the first step she knew she had to follow in his footsteps.

"Yes..." John took her hand in his and squeezed it encouragingly, "..its true, John and I are...we're a couple."

JBL was furious, "The two of you disgust me." With that he turned and walked away, championship in hand.

Amy turned to face John and smiled, "that went over well."

He smirked, "Well, we knew he wasn't going to throw us a party."

She laughed, and then "You know I never thought you would do that."

"Why not. You're my girl, and I love you. Besides he had..."

She pulled him towards her and kissed him, "I love you too."
