A/N 1: Heya people, I'm sorry about the long wait, it's just that I was sick last week, and I went away for a few days at the beginning of the week. So I'll try to have the SummerSlam chapter up soon and then this weeks RAW. I'd like to thank MissPhilippinesSuperStar, punk monkey and CenazMine for reviewing chapter 3, love ya lots like jelly tots. To CenazMine I completely had a mental block, which happens quite often to me, so thanks for e-mailing me back. Anyway I apologise for the wait and these chapters might not be marvellous, as I still feel dodgy.
"I want every single dirty detail and you are not leaving this room until I get it."
Looking up, Lexi found herself looking at a determined Christy Hemme. Raising her eyebrows, Lexi simply resumed her earlier task of reading the latest edition of the RAW magazine. Not one to be ignored, Christy took the seat next to her and began poking her in the side of the head, rolling her eyes Lexi began reading an article on Hogan vs. HBK.
"Hey ladies mind if I join you?" Not waiting for an answer, Matt Hardy took the seat opposite the two divas, the table becoming silent as Lexi read, Matt ate and Christy poked Lexi. Looking at the magazine, Matt began to chuckle.
"Doing some light reading huh Lex?" Lexi simply raised her middle finger at him before slowly looking up at him curiously.
"Who told you about that?" she asked him.
"Shelton, I asked what he was doing with those papers and he told me." Lexi frowned whilst making a mental note to hurt Shelton when she saw him. She carried on reading, while Matt read the article upside down.
"For God's sake just tell me what happened!" Christy's sudden yell caused Matt to jump and knock his orange juice, which spilled all over the magazine and all over Lexis' white shirt and pants. Lexi just sat in disbelief while staring at the juice stains on her clothes.
"Listen X I'm really sorry, I didn't realise that he was going to knock the juice over, I'm soooooo sorry. I just wanted to know what happened with you and John last week, please don't hit me." Christy began to panic and looked around for a cloth to wipe up the mess. Lexi looked up at Christy and then to Matt. The second her and Matt's eyes met they both simultaneously burst out in hysterical laughter, Christy stood and watched as the two almost fell off their chairs and then tried to contain their laughter. When they had finally calmed down Lexi stood up and faced Christy.
"That was bloody funny, your face was a picture. I wouldn't hit you sweetie but I need to go change now see you both later." Lexi smiled and left catering. She arrived at the divas locker room still chuckling lightly to find an irritated looking Ashley standing outside. Lexi looked at Ashley curiously before attempting to enter the locker room only to find that it was locked.
"What the hell? Why's the room locked Lee?" Lexi looked at Ashley who ran a hand through her hair.
"Well, we were going in to freshen up for the final of the Diva Search and as we went in she was in front of me. She opened the door and John Cena was in there, I assume he was waiting for you. Then she rushed in, slammed the door in my face and locked it. That was ten minutes ago." Ashley finished, glaring at the door.
"Err ok who's she?" Lexi questioned.
"Leyla" Ashley spat out.
"Oh so she's locked herself in there with John 'as she? Ah well, I need to change so I guess we're goin' in, stand back Lee" Ashley moved back while Lexi moved in front of the door, stepping back, she lifted her leg and kicked the door. The door flew open and bounced off the wall inside.
"Cool" Ashley said in approval. Grinning, Lexi sauntered in to find Cena sitting on the bench, leaning as far back as possible with a look of terror mixed with relief at seeing Lexi on his face with Leyla straddling him staring at the door in shock.
"Excuse me, but we are trying to have some time alone." Leyla stated indignantly.
"Yeah well I need to change and Lee needs to freshen up so go be alone somewhere else." Lexi smirked and began rummaging through her bag. Sensing someone behind her Lexi stood and turned to see a fuming Leyla.
"Can I help you dear?" Asked Lexi sweetly. Leyla said nothing but simply raised two fingers at the British diva before hurrying out of the door. Lexi stared after her before looking back to Cena, who still hadn't moved, and chuckling slightly.
"Ye look like you've just been told you've gotta give Snitsky a kiss." Cena gave her a sarcastic smile before moving to sit next to her bag.
"Yeah well you'd look like that if you'd almost been…been…. raped by a sex starved maniac. I mean, she was desperate. She locked the door an' ran at me, I nearly had a heart attack, she kept tryin' to shove her chest in my face an' put her hands down my pants. It was scary." Cena finished his tirade and looked at the floor.
"Awwwww poor baby, was the nasty woman tryin' to make you to things you didn't want to?" Lexi said, in a voice used when speaking to a toddler. Laughing, she pulled out some clothes and began looking for her brush. John had spotted the stain and was looking at it with interest.
"Are you getting' changed?" when Lexi nodded he continued, "Does this mean that you're gonna give me a strip show?" Raising her eyebrows Lexi made her way to the bathroom that Ashley had just vacated, waving at the two, the diva hopeful left the room.
"I thought you would've had enough of half naked women all over ye" Lexi replied as she closed the door.
"Shawty if it you were the half naked woman then I wouldn't mind at all." Cena shouted through the door. Hearing her laughing, Cena smiled. He enjoyed this, the banter between the two of them. If you could call it banter, many others had chosen to call it flirting but Cena didn't care, he just enjoyed spending time with the diva.
However, he was pretty unsure of his feelings. Sure he liked her, it didn't take a rocket scientist to work that one out, but he knew that the attraction went deeper. It was hard for him to understand what other feelings he had for Lexi. He knew that she liked him, she didn't exactly hide it. They had gone out last week to a quiet diner and just talked. He knew all about her childhood and she knew about his, they had talked for hours and laughed and joked, the night had ended with him walking her back to her hotel room with a kiss on the cheek.
He wasn't sure if it had been a date or just two friends out together. He had been asked what they were. Were they friends? A couple? John hadn't been able to answer, he had simply said that they were what they were and left the person to come to their own conclusions. He knew there had been talk amongst the employees of the WWE, news of his and Lexis' interest in each other had travelled all over the company, he had even received what he thought to be a rather amusing phone call from Dave Batista on SMACKDOWN who wanted to know all the details, he had never pictured Dave to be a gossip. In his mind he decided to ask her when she came out of the bathroom.
"Well what d'ye think?" Looking up John felt his jaw drop as Lexi gave a small twirl.
She was wearing dangerously low-rise, ripped baggy jeans, a matching tight denim sleeveless jacket/top that stopped four inches below her chest, showing off her tanned and toned stomach, and had the top two buttons undone, showing just enough cleavage but not too much. Her light brown hair was hanging loose reaching halfway down her back and she was wearing light blue converse, to finish off the outfit she wore a gold necklace with a small ruby Liver Bird hanging off it, a gold and ruby bracelet and she had not one trace of make-up on her face.
"Hello Earth to John please respond." Lexi waved her hand in front of Johns face as he regained his senses.
"You look amazing" John told her.
"Why thank you a girl has to look her best," Lexi smiled broadly then carried on, "Hey shouldn't you be getting ready for your handicap match?"
"Um yeah I s'pose I should but actu…" Before John could finish Lexi cut him off.
"Hey listen, I was wonderin', as it's a handicap match and we both know that Bitchoff will be out there, I could go out to ringside with you. But before you say no think about it." Lexi looked at John who looked straight back at her.
"Ok I'll make a deal with ya shawty, you can go to ringside with me if we can talk later on. An' I don't mean talkin' 'bout the weather, I mean talk as in serious talk ok?" Lexi looked at John with confusion etched upon her face.
"Oooooooooooooooooooookay then, deal. Quick question, what d'ye wanna talk about?" Lexi asked.
"You'll find out later on now lets go eat." John stood up and headed for the door.
"Are you always hungry?" Lexi asked. John laughed and flicked Lexi on her arm.
"Yup" The two laughed and walked to catering whilst having a flicking fight that resulted in John falling over a bucket of water that resulted in them both being yelled at by a cleaner. They made their way into catering and sat at a table with Matt Hardy, Christy and Shelton Benjamin who were discussing Shawn Michaels little speech.
"C'mon, Shawn knows the fans in Montreal don't like him anyway, but to rub it in their faces and play Bret's entrance music, that's totally out of order." Shelton said.
"Shawn's doin' it so he can get a rise out of the fans, an' it's workin'. He knows they don't like 'im coz' of what he did to Bret Hart so he ain't gonna try and change it." Lexi said, entering the conversation.
"Well would you look at that," the group looked up to find Rob Conway standing at the table, "Not only can the girl wrestle, but she's got brains as well."
"Can we help you Rob?" Shelton asked with caution in his voice. Smiling, Rob sat on the empty chair next to Lexi and put his arm around her. John felt jealousy and rage bubbling up inside of himself, the strength of the emotions surprising him.
"You four," he said pointing to Matt, Christy, Shelton and John, "No you can't but you, my dear Lexine, can. I have a problem and I was wondering if you could assist me in solving it." Lexi looked at him suspiciously and then at the arm around her.
"And what would this problem be Mr. Conway?" Lexi asked sweetly.
"Well you see the thing is, during my workout routine to keep this gorgeous body looking good I seem to have pulled something in my leg. So you see the thing is, I was wondering if you would be so kind as to give me a massage. In private mind you, and I'm sure you wouldn't mind if my trousers weren't on." Rob looked at Lexi who looked at him with disgust.
"In your dreams," she shuddered.
"No in yours." Rob countered.
"Yeah, my nightmares." She replied.
"Well aren't we the little feisty one, hmmm. Well the offer still stands, so whenever you're ready." With that he stood up and made his way out. Determined to have the last word, Lexi shouted after him.
"And less of the little!" The table erupted in laughter as Lexi began wiping her shoulders as if she was wiping any traces of Rob off her.
Some time later the wrestlers were still settled in catering.
"Who do you think is going to win the diva search?" Christy asked.
"It's gorra be Lee." Lexi said.
"I dunno, Leyla's got quite a few people rooting for her." Shelton said.
"Yeah I know, but when they did the surprise thing, Leyla said she was naked and she wasn't. She lied to the fans." Matt said.
"I'm glad she wasn't naked, I hope she's never naked when I'm around. I hope she's never around when I'm around." John said, still clearly disturbed with his encounter with Leyla earlier on. The rest of the stars started to laugh.
"C'mon Shawty, my match is up soon." Standing up, Lexi and John said goodbye to their friends. They then made their way to the ramp entrance where they saw on the monitor, Eric, Y2J and Carlito making their way down to the ring with the Canadian flag held high. Lexi chuckled lightly seeing as the fans were still booing them. John and Lexi waited for the music to hit before making their way out to a standing ovation. Lexi waited outside the ring, directly opposite Eric Bischoff.
They were well into the match and Lexi was nearly having heart attacks. She had kept the crowd going, starting up chants and getting them to make noise, she had a small cut above her right eye where Eric had thrown her head first into the steps, because she had prevented him from giving John a cheap shot. She could feel the blood trickling down her face and could feel herself swaying, she suspected she had light concussion, but stayed focused on the match.
Jericho attempted to apply the walls of Jericho but Cena kicked him off causing Jericho to slam into Carlito which referee Chris Kay signals a tag has been made, oblivious to the referees actions, Jericho and Cena continue to exchange blows in the ring. Cena knocked Jericho down with a blow before giving a clothes line Carlito and following up with a flying hip lock followed by the spinning side slam.
Seeing Eric on the apron distracting the referee and seeing John now distracted with Jericho, Lexi climbed to the top turnbuckle and leaped off performing a perfect moonsault on Carlito. Rolling out of the ring she found herself face to face with Jericho who promptly gave her a DDT on the outside. She heard the bell ring and John declared the winner before hearing a sickening thud of what sounded like someone being hit with a chair. Lexi struggled to stand and used the apron to pull herself up; she had her head just above the apron before freezing at the site in the ring. John was lying flat out in the ring while the referee was talking to him and shaking his shoulders. Heaving herself into the ring, Lexi crawled over to the two and saw the distant look in John's eyes.
"What happened to him?" Lexi asked.
"Jericho hit him with a chair and he hit him hard, I think he's got concussion." Chris Kay answered.
"We've gorra get him out of here, you go one side and I'll go the other." The two then part dragged part carried Cena back to the trainers office who immediately sent Lexi to be cleaned up.
"You're lucky you don't need stitches and the concussion is minor. Try to stay awake for at least two more hours and if you throw up, faint or get bouts of dizziness then go straight to a hospital okay." Nodding, Lexi thanked the trainer and walked to the next room were John was being treated. She stayed by the door until the trainer was finished and then approached the trainer's table that John was lying on.
"We should reserve places here shouldn't we." Lexi said, attempting to lighten the mood. Cena opened his eyes and looked at her, his expression unreadable.
"You ok?" He asked. Lexi looked at him as if he had just grown an extra arm.
"You're askin' if I'm ok? You're the one who got whacked with a chair and you're askin' if I'm ok? That chair must have done more damage than I thought." Lexi said.
John smiled lightly and sat up, patting the space next to him, indicating to her that she should sit. Lexi took the place and John began examining the cut on her head.
"That looks painful." He stated.
"I'll live." Lexi told him. The two sat in silence, both lost in their own thoughts. Looking at the monitor, Lexi saw Edge celebrating his win over Val Venis by showing a very public display of affection with Lita.
"Hey, who won the diva search?" John looked at her and then shrugged his shoulders.
"Dunno but I suppose you'll want to find out huh?" Lexi smiled and then stood up.
"Yeah I wanna take a shower as well, but I promise when I'm done I'll come find you and we can have that talk you were goin' on about before." Lexi then turned and left, heading for the divas locker room. On her way she met an ecstatic Ashley who told Lexi that Eric Bischoff wanted to see her, after congratulating the newest diva Lexi made her way to Bischoffs' office, her head still pounding. She entered the room to find Eric and Carlito waiting for her.
Ten minutes later a fuming Lexi stormed out of the General Managers room and headed straight for the divas locker room. She heard someone calling her name but ignored him or her, feeling too irate to talk to anyone. She then felt herself swung round and came face to face with the owner of the voice.
"WHAT?" she barked out.
"Hey hey hey, calm down, I only wanted to know what was the matter." Shelton Benjamin put his hands up in defence.
"Sorry Shelton, I'm just a little ticked off right now, I didn't mean to snap." Shelton raised his eyebrows as Lexi sighed.
"A little ticked off? You seem more than a little ticked off to me. What gives?" Lexi simply shook her head.
"I'll tell you later, I've gorra go find John coz' he wants to talk and I need to speak to him." Shelton nodded and pulled her in for a hug.
"Ok, remember though, if you ever need someone to talk to just come find me." Lexi smiled and kissed him on the cheek. He grinned and the two went their separate ways. Looking up Lexi saw John stood at the end of the corridor with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Hey I was just comin' to find you, we need to talk." Lexi said as she approached.
"No we don't." Cena said coldly. Lexi looked at him in confusion.
"Huh?"
"I said, no we don't, are you deaf or something?" John looked at Lexi who looked straight back at him.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, nothing at all. Now we don't need to talk I guess you'll be going to find Shelton." John said, watching her closely to see her reaction. Lexi was completely at loss as to what John was talking about.
"Shelton? What d'ye me…" But John cut her off.
"You know you could have at least taken a shower before you came to see me. Then I wouldn't have been suspicious. It's actually a good thing I decided to come and find you, otherwise I wouldn't have found out about the two of you." Lexi looked at Cena as if he had suddenly sprouted an extra arm.
"What in the blue hell are you talking about? Two of who? Found out what?" Lexi was completely baffled and it showed on her expression.
"Don't act all innocent with me coz' it won't work! Do you really think you could get away with this? Stringin' me along, pretendin' to care and all the time you were sneakin' around behind my back with Shelton!" John yelled at her. Lexi looked up at Cena who had a look of pure rage in his eyes, "You just saw me as a play thing. I bet you and him were laughing at me all the time weren't you? I can't believe…"
"What the hell is wrong with you!" Lexi screamed, losing her temper, they had attracted a small crowd of people, "Shelton just wanted to know what was wrong and if he could help! He was concerned because I was pissed beyond hell! He was telling me that if I needed someone to talk to then to go see him! He was being a friend! I can't believe that you think I would do that to you! Why would I do that to you!"
"Why don't you tell me?" Cena snapped at her.
"I haven't showered because I've been stuck in Bischoff's office for the past ten minutes while he gave me some oh so pleasant news. I came straight out to find you and was stopped by Shelton who wanted to find out what was wrong with me. We had a quick talk then he hugged me and left." She told him coldly.
"Yeah and you kissed him." He pointed out.
"I gave him a peck on the cheek. I do that to all of me mates," Lexi informed him, "D'ye know what? I'm done with you. You took a simple conversation and made out we were havin' a relationship. I can't believe you think that I would sink that low, I care about you John and I like you a lot. I can't understand why you're acting like this and I don't wanna know. Just keep away from me ok?" Lexi turned and walked down the hallway before turning back to Cena, who stood there looking helpless.
"By the way, the news I got off Eric," she said, as Johns heart shattered at the sadness in her voice, "I've gorra match at Summer Slam, against Carlito." With that she turned and left John standing in the hall feeling as though his world had just ended. Lexi returned to the empty divas locker room, grabbed her bag and went to the parking lot. On her way out she saw HBK locking the Sharpshooter on Hulk Hogan, she shook her head and made her way her bike. As she was securing her bag she heard voices entering the car park.
"So there's nothing to worry about with Lexi then?" she heard Leylas' voice say.
"Nah if she's got any beef with you then she can come to me." John replied.
"Shhhhh there she is." The two came into view as Lexi looked up to see John with his arms wrapped around Leyla. He looked Lexi dead in the eye before turning and pulling Leyla in for a deep kiss. Lexi mounted her bike and drove past the two, she turned onto the road and sped towards the hotel, the tears flowing freely down her face, concealed to everyone else by her helmet.
