"Have a seat guys" Jerry Jarrett said as he showed Austin and Samaire into his office.
It had been two months since Samaire had won the title and both her and Austin had become two of the biggest faces in the company. Their relationship was sailing along smoothly, except for the one thing Samaire didn't know about - Austin's relationship with Trinity.
"So whats up" Austin asked as he sat down.
"Well, the writing team have come up with a new direction for your characters and I am interested in your opinion"
Samaire studied Jerry's face. Something was up, she could tell.
"We have decided that you guys have run your course as a couple, and that it's time to separate you"
"What! Why? The fans love us together" Austin said, confused.
"Yes, but we are short on heel characters for both you and Sam to go against"
"Well what are you proposing" Samaire asked, interested by this idea.
"Well, we want you to turn heel on Austin, since we several female faces and are looking at booking you into a program with one of them"
"So I would be going single then"
"Not quite. We are looking at you turning on Austin for AJ Styles who is coming back to the X division for now, and that way Austin moves into a new fued for the X Title with AJ"
"What about me, am I going to be working as a single now?"
"Nope, you get a new partner in crime too - what do you think about teaming with Trinity?"
Austin looked at him. 'This is going to get complicated'. Not only did Austin not like the idea of mixing his social life and work life anymore than what it was, but he also didn't like the idea of his girl working with AJ.
"I don't know, I kinda prefer working with Samaire" Austin said.
"Yes, but like I said, we are running out of fueds for you guys as faces. We need to mix it up a bit. Besides you will still be working with Sam, just not as a pair"
Austin sighed and looked at Samaire "What do you think?"
"I actually like the idea, I've always liked the idea of working with Trinity, and with all the training you've been giving her lately we'll blast the roof off this place" she replied, smiling at Jerry.
Austin looked at her "Your serious?"
"Yep, so what's the plan?"
Jerry rubbed his hands together "Well, there's only two weeks till the next pay-per-view, which is when we want you to turn, so tonight we want you to drop the title to Trinity, due to Austin's interference. You'll be so mad that when he faces AJ at the pay-per-view on Sunday you'll turn on him and cost him the title. When you have your rematch later onfor the women's title AJ will interfer and you'll win it back, therefore setting up the fued between all of you"
"I don't like it" Austin said as he sat back in his chair "But does it look like I have much of a choice"
"What's with the attitude? You don't know what they will come up with down the line? This could turn out to be like the Traci/Shane/Trinity/Sabin fued. You know the one where it looked like Traci turned on Michael for Chris, only for it to turn out to be a big setup"
Austin mumbled something Samaire couldn't understand.
"Well thanks for coming in guys, I've already spoken to AJ and Trinity and they both loved the idea, so have fun"
As Samaire and Austin left the room, Samaire wondered what Austin's problem was. He was always talking about wanting to do something different and exciting, and now the chance was here he was complaining! It's not like he didn't get along with Trinity, because as far as Samaire was concerned, these days he spent more time with Trinity then with her!
"Listen, I'm going to warm up for tonight's match so I'll see ya later okay" Austin said as he gave Samaire a quick kiss on the cheek and headed to his dressing room.
As he walked in he saw Trinity laying across his sofa.
"What are you doing here? I told you not to come here unless I said so" he warned her as he quickly closed the door and locked it.
"Whats wrong baby, you seem upset?" she cooed as she got up and started massaging his back.
"You know what's wrong - the new storyline"
"What's wrong with it? We'll get to spend more time together" she murmured into his ear seductively.
"Yeah, but that means Samaire spends more time with AJ. You know he has a thing for her, even though she's too stupid to see it herself. She really believes I'm teaching you new moves in here"
"But you are teaching me new moves babe, just not the ones she thinks" Trinity giggled.
"Mmmmmmmmm, speaking of that I got another new one for you..." he replied
Samaire looked around the ring and noticed that the referee was busy trying to get AJ to go to the back. She turned and signalled for Austin to come in. She grabbed Trinity from behind and held her as Austin got ready to give her a superkick. At the last minute Trinity moved and Austin kicked Samaire in the face. Trinity gave him a low blow and covered Samaire in time for the referee to count to three.
"Your winner, and NEW TNA Women's champion, TRINITY"
As they made their way to the back Samaire punched Austin in the arm.
"Ow, what was that for" he said as he rubbed his arm.
"For bloody kicking me so hard" she replied as she rubbed her jaw.
"Hey, I'm sorry okay" he said as he wrapped her up in a hug "I'll make it up to you, I promise" he grinned.
Samaire smiled. As he held her she noticed AJ looking over at them. She noticed the strange expression on his face before he turned and walked in the other direction. 'What was that all about' she wondered before turning her attention back to Austin.
"So what are you doing until Sunday?" she asked.
"Not much, probably stay at home and work out, why?"
"Well I thought maybe I could come stay with you, you know so you could get to know Brooke better" Samaire suggested.
"Um, sorry babe but, um my brother is staying with me at the moment so there isn't any room, sorry" Austin lied, avoiding Samaire's eyes. In reality, Trinity had been spending a lot of her time at Austin's place, especially around the time of Impact! tapings and the pay-per-views.
Samaire's face fell. She had been hoping that Austin and Brooke would get to know each other better since they were both big parts of her life. But something always seemed to come up when she suggested doing anything together.
"Well, maybe another time I guess" she murmured.
"Yeah sure babe" he replied, sensing she was upset.
"Well, I gotta get changed since I'm picking Brooke up for the weekend, so I'll call you okay" she said as she gave him a kiss.
She headed off towards her locker room. She noticed AJ was talking to Christian in front of her door.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Oh hey Sammie, how ya doing? That was a nasty kick you got out there!" Christian said as he examined her jaw.
Samaire laughed as she batted his hand away "It's fine really - no worse then the many unprettier's you've given me over the years!"
Christian pretended to be offended "Me beat up women! Never"
"I'll see ya later guys" AJ said as he walked away.
Samaire looked at Christian, confused.
"Did I say something?" she asked
Christian shrugged "That dude been acting weird for weeks"
AJ kicked himself as he walked away. 'I need to tell her' he thought. 'I need to tell her that the man she loves so much is cheating on her'.
AJ had known for a couple of weeks now that Austin was sleeping around on Samaire with Trinity. He had walked in on them in the dressing room one night. He had been completly disgusted that his closest friend could be such an asshole. That's when he had come clean to Austin about the way he felt for Samaire. AJ had threatened to tell Samaire everything if Austin didn't stop. Of course Austin had just laughed it off.
"You would really do that to the women you love? Break her heart again" Austin smirked at AJ
"If it's the truth - and what do you care about breaking her heart? Your doing it right now"
"Hey, Samaire and I are just having a little fun, it's not like I'm going to marry her or anything. She has a kid for crying out loud"
"Does she know this?" AJ glared at him
"I dunno"
AJ didn't know what to do. He couldn't be around her knowing what was really going on. It was too hard. Now that they were going to be working together - an onscreen couple no less- he had a feeling things were going to get a lot more complicated.
A/N : Hey, So what do you think? God I have made Austin such an ass. Haven't worked out how I'm going to end it yet - AJ or Austin? Anyway don't forget to review - I love hearing what you think :)
