"You did fucking great!" Stephanie squealed, running up to Lilian
and giving her a huge hug. Kurt Angle, Charlie Haas, and Shelton Benjamin all
smiled at the brunette woman as well, keeping their distance but wanting to let
her know that she did a great job out there.
Rob smiled as he wrapped his arm around Lilian, hesitating slightly
at the tension he felt in her body, but relaxing when she did so. "That's my
manager," Rob said, giving her a light squeeze before letting go.
"They loved you, Lilian," Stephanie gushed. "They went nuts when you
emerged from behind the curtain! I can still hear the people buzzing!"
It was true. Lilian felt like she was floating as she listened to
the crowd's cheering. However, she was snapped out of her happy state as Kurt
cleared his throat.
"You really did do well out there, Lilian," he said. "I really am
looking forward to working closer to you."
"Thank you," Lilian said with a shy smile.
"We better get going," Shelton added. "Big matches tonight."
"Okay," Lilian said.
The three walked away and Stephanie grinned at Lilian again. "I am
so proud of you! I have other work to do but I just wanted to let you know that
I am so happy to have you back home."
Home. There it was again. Lilian couldn't help but smile as
Stephanie gave her another quick hug before leaving. She turned, seeing Rob
smile at her.
"What?" Lilian asked with a grin of her own.
"Oh, nothing," Rob said. "I better go stretch. You look like you
need to bask in the glory before we meet up again. Okay?"
"That's great," Lilian said absently, watching as Rob nodded at her
and walked away and around the corner.
With a small sigh, Lilian turned, only to nearly walk into someone.
"Excuse me," she said politely, moving to walk around them but frowning as the
person blocked her path.
"So, you think that you can just waltz back in here to the top," the
tall blonde woman said, glaring at Lilian.
"Oh, nice to see you again, Sable," Lilian said, the sarcasm obvious
in her voice.
"Don't be a fucking bitch, Lilian," Sable snarled, taking a step
closer to Lilian. The smaller woman quickly backed up, flashes of John running
through her head. "I don't know who you slept with but you can't just magically
show up again and expect everyone to treat you like a princess."
"Gee, are you talking about me or yourself, Sable?" Lilian
questioned, satisfaction filling her at the insulted look on the blonde's face.
"Look, bitch, I run the show now despite what Stephanie McMahon
thinks. And I can get rid of you just like that," Sable said, taking another
step closer to Lilian, only to have the little woman step back again.
"Last time I checked, your last name wasn't McMahon," Lilian said
calmly, trying to calm her temper. The last thing she needed was reports of a
fight on her first night back to break out.
"I have power around here, my dear," Sable said, brushing a lock of
hair out of Lilian's eyes.
"Don't you dare touch me," Lilian said angrily, slapping Sable's
hand away.
"What, are you afraid of me?" Sable said with a laugh, taking
another step closer to Lilian.
"Get the fuck away from me," Lilian said, her emotions now boiling
to the surface. This was all to close to the way John would act before he would
beat her and Lilian really didn't like to revisit that time. She took a step
back, only to have Sable step even closer, a wild glean in her eyes at the
prospect of making Lilian nervous.
However, the smile slipped off her lips as the tall blonde looked
behind Lilian. The little brunette could feel someone's presence behind her, but
she wasn't going to turn her back on Sable. The blonde licked her lips
nervously, taking a few steps from Lilian before turning and striding away from
her.
Lilian sighed, relieved that Sable was gone, if only for the moment.
She knew that Sable never liked her, most likely because she was popular among
both girls and guys and Lilian was good friends with Torrie, whom Sable hated
with a passion. She wasn't going to think about that right now, for she had to
thank someone for backing her up and scaring Sable away.
Lilian turned, the words forming on her lips but no sound coming out
when she saw who was standing there.
The gleaming title belts around their waists and their hair was
different, but there was no mistaking the face.
Trish and Lita were looking at her as if they didn't believe she was
even there.
