Chapter VII – Think well...

After having her head injury treated and the offer by Lita, Cleo went with them to the hotel. The next Tuesday morning she woke up feeling better and very relaxed. With Lita and Chris's help she would be the champion in no time.

However, that wasn't the only thing in her mind. She was still thinking about what Ric Flair had told her: to consider joining Evolution. She used to admire Ric Flair when she was little, but just could not stand the way Triple H bossed him or the others around. Actually there was nothing about Triple H that she could stand. He is just too arrogant and... grrr! she thought, not finding a better word to express her feelings. She didn't really dislike the two youngest members, she just thought they were too cocky. They had reasons too, they were good wrestlers and handsome, but still. Anyways, I really don't want to join Evolution. No way I would let Triple H boss me around! I just wish I could make him loose that championship... Uncle Chris deserves it much more than he does...

She put away those thoughts and streched her arms as much as she could. The clock marked 11 o'clock. "Wow. I didn't think I had slept this much!" she said to herself. She wanted to go talk to Lita about her training, but she knew that she wouldn't let her start training while her head was still injured. Then she remembered that Bischoff had asked her to go to a photoshoot. "What time was that? Three, I think." she went to her bags and thought she should take some photos in her wrestling outfit. She looked at her black and red bikini. Better to take it as well! Then she put on a knee length demin skirt, a dark pink tank top and soft pink suede boots, and went off to see Lita.

When she was entering the elevator she bumped into someone who was on their way out. God, I really have to start watching where I'm going! This time the person was smaller than her and fell into the elevator. Cleo gave the person, who happened to be Christy Hemme, her hand, so she could get up.

"Thanks!" she said, getting up. "Hey! Aren't you Cleo? I loved your match last night! You were great out there!"

"Thank you!" she said smiling. "Actually you where my favorite girl in the Diva Search too."

"Oh, thank you!" she said, cheerful as usually. "So, what are you doing around here?"

"I was gonna look for Lita, I wanted to talk to her."

"Really? I was gonna meet her right now! If you just wait a sec for me, we can go together. I forgot something in my room."

Cleo waited a little and then went off with Christy. They talked all the way until the lobby. Christy was very nice and easy to talk to. Just when they got out of the elevator, someone got in. Cleo could only tell it was a blonde girl sobbing, but she couldn't see her face clearly. "Who was that?" she asked Christy. "Probably Stacy." Cleo frowned. "Keibler? Why would she be like that?" Christy was about to answer when Randy Orton passed by them on his way to the other elevator. "Because she has an ass as a boyfriend who hurts her all the time!" She said it intentionly loud enough for him to hear her. He turned back. "What do you have to do with it?" She put on her most threatning face. "She's my friend and I care about her!" Randy got closer to her and grabbed her wrist. "Listen you-" Then Cleo decided to interrupt. "Hey, stop that! It's not her fault that you don't even care about your girlfriend!" she made him release Christy. "You're not only an ass as you're also a jerk with a pretty face that only loves himself!" She turned to Christy. "Let's go." She was so shocked that Cleo had to pull her by the arm.

"Oh. My. God!" She said. "I can't believe you just said all that! I think he was too shocked to react, or he you've teared you apart!"

"I don't care. He needed to listen that. I didn't want to waste much time on him, or I would have told him a few more things." She let go of Christy's arm when they got to the gym. "You're gonna get in trouble for that, you know." Christy told her. "Randy is a member of Evolution. They don't like people messing with them."

"Somehow I think they won't really mind." Cleo said with a smirk. The other girl raised her eyebrows. "Why do you say that?"

Right then she spotted Lita on the back of the gym. "Lita! Hi!"

"Hi! I see you two have met each other! I'm also training Christy, so I hope you two turn out to be friends!" she said.

"I think we will!" Cleo said. "Anyways, I wanted to talk to-"

"Oh, no, no, no!" Christy interrupted her. "Now you have to tell me what you ment by that!"

"By what?" Lita asked, confused. They told her all about the scene with Randy, and then Cleo told the two of them about Flairs proposition. Christy's mouth fell open, but Lita just gasped and said "Then it's all explained!" She told them how Kane had seen Ric Flair beating Trish backstage, after her match, and how he had yelled "Don't you ever mess with Evolution again." Now it was Cleo's time to be surprised. She wasn't expecting anything like that.

"So... do you think I should accept it?" Cleo asked them, joking.

"NO!" they both yelled.

"Ok, ok, I was just kiding!" she said. "I had alredy decided not to!"

"Well, good, because you don't wanna be in Evolution." Christy said with a vary serious look.

"Yeah. Everybody hates them!" Lita agreed. "Not that I think anyone could hate you, but they could put you against all the wrong people."

"I know. I alredy hate them anyway." Then she changed the subject. "So, are you two gonna practice today?"

She looked at her watch. "We were supposed to, but when you come in an hour late and you chat for half an hour, you don't really have any time left." Christy and Cleo smiled innocently. "It's 12:15."

"Well, I say we three go grab lunch together!" Christy said happily. The other two agreed and they all went to have lunch.

They where having lots of fun talking in the restaurant when Cleo suddenly remembered her photoshoot. She told them about it.

"A photoshoot?" Christy asked. "When does it start?"

"Three o' clock."

"What do you have to wear?" she asked. Cleo told her what she had thought earlier. "My wrestling outfit and a bikini. I thought-" but Christy interrupted her. "What about a dress?" She shook her head. "I don't have any dress to wear."

Christy turned to Lita. "What time is it?" Lita looked at her watch. "1:47."

"Ok." She said looking back at Cleo. "We have about an hour to get you one." "But-" "No buts. If you have never went shoping with me, you don't know what you've been losing..."

Cleo looked at Lita, who had buried her face in her hands. Cleo gulped.

Lita's reaction proved not to be exagerated. Christy looked transfigurated while shopping, and kept giving Cleo a huge amount of dresses for her to try, only to frown and shake her head when she got out of the fitting room. That was until she found what she called the perfect dress. It was baby blue, sleeveless and it ended like a fairy skirt. She couldn't resist to take a little hair clip in the same color, shaped like a lily.

When they got to the hotel she went to get the other clothes, and when she got back at the lobby it was 2:50. A driver aproached her and guided her to the limo, after she said goodbye to Christy and Lita.

The trip took about fifteen minutes. She started taking pictures with her wrestling outfit, the her biquini, and finally the dress. It was being fun, and the photographer said she was going very well.

While she was taking pictures with the dress, three men came in; the exact men she less wanted to see. Evolution's own Hunter, Dave and Randy.

They were all dressed up in suits, obviously there for a photoshoot too.

"Hey, you're a little early!" an assistant said. "You'll have to wait a little, we're just finishing-"

"Well, finish it now, we don't have time to loose." Triple H told her.

Then he saw who was being taken pictures of. He turned to Dave. "Hey, look, it's Cleo. Do you think we should go talk to her?"

"No!" Randy suddenly said.

"Why not?" H asked.

"I just don't think we should even get her in the team. I mean, she even insulted me today!"

"What did you do?" Dave asked.

"Nothing! I was just talking to Stacy and she got her nose in my business!

"Just because you don't like her it doesn't mean she wouldn't be great for her to join the team." Dave said. "She's probably gonna become Woman's Champion soon."

"Yeah, well, I don't like her and don't want her on the team anyway!" Randy said.

Triple H glared at him. "I don't care what you want or what you don't; I'm the leader of this team and I say she joins!" Randy just glared back, but he didn't say anything.

"Ok, Ms. Guerrero, that's it!" they heard the photographer say. "Thank you!"

She was about to go change when Triple H stopped her. "Hi, Ms. Guerrero. Can I call you Cleo?" she was about to say no, but he continued talking. "My, you look wonderful, Cleo. I was just wondering... have you thought about the offer we made you?"

"Yes, I did." She said smiling at him. "And I have decided-"

"Oh, you don't have to tell us now; we'll give you untill the next show to think about it." He said smiling too. "You know, it's very important that you think about it, so that you make the right choice."

"Yes, definilty." She said, now smirking. "I'll get back to you on Monday then. Bye!" and she left to go change.
