I own only Livia.
If there's sentences which make no sense, I'm sorry! My mother tongue isn't English, so some translations might be little weird...
This is little bit longer chapter than previous, enjoy!
Chapter 2
I sat on the cafeteria papers in front me and went through the recent scripts. Show was just about to start and I had to go soon to watch it from the big screen in backstage. Alhought on the top in my mind was, that how I could get Stacy and Chris together. I didn't know Chris so well yet, that I would have known what he thought about Stacy. I knew that Stacy liked the Canadian, but I didn't know did she like him so much, that I should try get them together. I had to find out somehow what they thought about each others. I lifted my eyes and stared out of the window in my deep thoughts.
"Livia?" I jumped almost two inches up from the chair when I heard my uncles voice.
"Did I scare you? You seemed to be far away."
"I got almost heart attack. Don't sneak like that!" I said when my pulse was finally steady, although my heart was still beating little too fast.
"Sorry." My uncle said grin in his face.
"Yeah, I can see that you are really sorry." I snorted and collected my papers. "Has show already started?"
"In ten minutes."
"Okay, I have to go and make sure that everything goes as planned." I said standing up.
When we were on the cafeterias door, I turned to my uncle.
"By the way, do I remember right, that you once told me that, Benoit is divorced?"
"Yeah, he divorced a year ago." he looked at me in a little wonder. "Why?"
"Not in any special reason… I just thought." I answered avoidingly.
"Livia, I know that look. What are you planning?" He asked raising his eye brows.
"Nothing. I just thought to ask." When I saw his skeptical expression, I continued. "Really, I'm not planning anything." I saw anyway that he wasn't sure if he should believe me or not. Clearly he knew me too well. But if I told him, I would be very fast looking a new job and I would be far away from whole WWE…
I went to backstage and sat infront of the big screen. I watched the first match and after that Jay and Sylvain joined me. Because they both are Canadians and they've been in RAW too, they knew both Chris and Stacy. I decided to do little scouting, carefully of course.
"Sylvain?"
"Yes, Livia?" The Canadian who had a great tan looked at me.
"Are you satisfied to your own story line?" I had to start carefully first…
"Yeah, I am. Why?" He looked me in a little awe.
"Well, I just thought… You know that my job is to listen complaints and ideas from wrestlers."
"I'm satisfied to my story line." He answered.
"Well, good.. Well, we have thought that we will put one of the divas in the same story line with Benoit, and I though that do you have any suggestions?" I looked at both Canadians. In reality we didn't have such plans, but I had to figure a way how I would explain my interest.
"With Benoit? Really?" Jay looked me wondering expression in his face"His character isn't perharps right for it."
"Yeah, we thought that we may soften it a little. But don't say anything to Chris yet. That's not quite sure thing yet." I tried to explain. I had to make sure that no one would heard about it. We had no intentions to 'soften' his character. I tried to keep my self as calm as possible, but it would be hard, if Jay would continue in that course.
"Actually I have thought, that maybe I should get a woman on my side. I am Captain Carisma after all." Jay said a small smile in his lips.
"Well, I'll tell that to writers." Now I had to get the subject back to Chris and Stacy.
"Sylvain, what do you think. Which one of the divas would be good pair for Chris?"
Sylvain thought a moment.
"Here in Smackdown we do't have so much options…. Melina is with Joey and Johnny, Sharmell and Booker are together, Stacy is with Randy…Christy or Jillian?"
"I've heard that Chris doesn't like Christy so much." I said "But Stacy isn't with Randy for anymore. He'll RKO her next week, as you might have heard."
Both men nodded.
"Wouldn't Stacy be a rather good choise? Do you know what Chris thinks of her?" I looked at them waiting for answer. "You two know Chris better than me."
"I think they come along quite well. But would it be quite peculiar looking pair? I mean that Stacy is beautiful, tall woman and Chris in the other hand…You have seen him. He's short." Sylvain answered.
'What the hell? Yeah, he's short, but hello! Is anybody home, Sylvain!' These were my very deep, secret thoughts, but I managed to keep them inside my head.
"But it would be good thing for the show. We would have some spice to events." I tried to explain.
"That's true. And Chris doesn't hate her or anything like that." Sylvain did agree.
"Jay?" I looked at him questioningly.
"True, Chris and Stacy do get along well. But…"
"Well, that's all I wanted to know. I have to talk with Teddy and writers about that." I interrupted him and started to watch show again.
When I got confirmation, that Chris and Stacy did get along quite well, I had to get his opinion about her. Soon after Jay and Sylvain had left me alone, Booker came in and I talked about his and Sharmells story line for a while. Then Orlando Jordan came to yell me that how much his character sucked. I got him to calm down anyway by saying that I would talk with writers about it.
There was going last match on the show, when I went to look for my father and ran to Dave Batista and Randy Orton.
"Dave, do you know where Benoit is?" I looked at his beautiful, brown eyes.
"I think he is in Marks lockerroom." He answered.
"Why you want Chris, when I'm here?" Randy smiled a little bit cockily.
"Well, I have to talk with him. When I have to talk with you, Randy, I will find you if I need to." I answered. Usually I liked him, but sometimes I just didn't understand his ways of thinking.
"Don't you want to talk with me about that how I'll bury the Legend of Undertaker?" He smiled.
"You know, that it is the last thing I want to talk about." I snorted. "Don't piss me off, Orton."
"Livia has a point there. You shouldn't talk about burying the Legend of Undertaker. Considering that it's the niece of the man in question, who you are taking to." Dave said laughing.
I looked at him greatfully.
"Randy, would you tell to Stacy that I'm in my uncles room? We are going together to the hotel." I turned to say to Randy before I left. He nodded and I went to my uncles lockerrooms direction. Gladly I really did have something to talk to Chris, so I didn't need any excuse, when I knocked to the lockerroom door.
Then I opened the door and entered the room. I saw that Chris really was there and I nodded him as a greeting.
"Chris, good that I met you here. I have to talk to you."
"Yeah, shoot." He smiled to me.
"Well, we have thought that we'll give you a change to win United States Championship belt from Orlando Jordan… Do you think that you could do it in less than a minute?"
I looked at him and waited, when my uncle laughed.
"Whoa Benoit, there's the question."
"Yes, I think so. If only Orlando agrees with that." Chris grinned.
"I'll talk with him." I grimaced when I said that, because I really didn't want to do that, probably I would need some one as my guardian, so that Orlando wouldn't hit me on the head with his belt, when I mentioned about that to him. Or then I would ask Teddy Long to talk to him…
"So Chris, is itnice to be back in Smackdown?" I changed the subject quite smoothly, or what?
"It's nice to be back, althought I did enjoy my time in RAW also." The Canadian answered.
"Yeah, and you know everyone here. And Dave came also here." I said. I knew that Chris and Dave were good friends. "As did Randy and Stacy…" I looked Chris closely, but his expression didn't change, when I mentioned Stacy. He just nodded and smiled.
"Are you coming to hotel with me?" My uncle looked at me.
"No, I promised to go with Stacy." At the same time there was knock on the door. "It's probably her, I said that I'll be here." I went to open the door and tall blonde came in.
"Mark, Chris." She greeted the men.
I looked at Stacy and Chris closely, but I didn't notice anything special in their behaviour. At least they seemed to get along well now when I saw them together. They spoke about their own story lines while I was in lockerrooms toilet.
"Okay. Show is over, so we can leave, if you are ready, Stacy?" I watched her and when she had nodded I continued." I can't stand whining wrestlers today anymore, so let's go and fast."
We were just going to outer door and we were coming behind the corner, when I bumped to something. I was just falling over, when strong arms came around me.
"Whoa, be careful, Livia." I lifted my gaze straigh to Randys blue eyes.
"Oh sorry. I didn't look where I was going." I mumbled while Stacy laughed next to me.
"It's alright"
"Randy… You can let me go now." I said, because he was still pressing me against his chest.
"Yeah, sorry. I forgot…"
"Forgot? You forgot that you pressed me against you?" I looked him at awe.
Stacy was now laughing her head off and I slapped her arm when Randy finally let me go.
"This is not funny."
"So, what are you girls going to later tonight?" He asked looking at both of us.
"I'm going to bed, I'm exhausted." I answered.
"Same here." Stacy said and yawned.
"What? Don't you come to night club with us?"
"Not tonight, Randy." Stacy said and I nodded as to express that I agreed with her.
"Okay then, but you will miss a lot." He smiled and winked.
"Yeah, right." I muttered and grimaced.
"See you tomorrow, Randy." Stacy stated and went to the outer door.
We went to Stacys rented car and when we were pulling out of the parking place, I started to ask her opinion about Chris.
"Stacy, do you have a special wrestler favourite, the one over others?"
"Well, the Rock has been a kind of idol for me since I was little, Lita is one of the best divas ever, Shawn Michaels has always gotten my attention…But you know this, why you ask?" She answered.
"I ment that is here in Smackdown someone who you really like?"
"Dave is awesome, Eddie is alright and of course your uncle…" Stacy said, but I saw a wondering expression in her eyes.
"Of course my uncle, he's the man!" I laughed. "Don't you like Chris Benoit? I mean that he is one of the most respected wrestlers. And I like him already, although I have known him only couple of weeks."
"Chris? Yeah, I like him. He's a nice guy and we get along well."
I leaned back and sighed. Now I at least knew that Chris and Stacy get along well and she liked him. Chris' actual opinion of her I didn't know, but it didn't mather. The main thing was, that they got along. Now I just had to help them understand, that they did belong together and couldn't live without each other. But how would I do that?
