Divas Prison Ch16

Nobody liked going back to the stricter routine and rules that were relaxed or ignored for the day for Christmas, but there wasn't much of a choice. It did however, remain the main focus of conversation for a while. Paige had picked up a little bit of chocolate for all of her friends. She called them 'late Christmas/sorry I was such a mess' presents for Natalya, Becky and Charlotte. Emma wasn't there at the time but she didn't want to leave her out so she called it a 'thanks for a great meal' present. Natalya wasn't too happy with that, Emma had been annoyingly smug since her applause from the women for their meal on the day and hadn't let her forget about it. This wasn't going to help.

Paige was lying on her bunk, deep in thought. She felt it was the least she could do as she felt she was finally turning a corner and was coming to terms with the turn that her life had taken over the year as the new year approached. She knew that she would be spending the whole of the coming year in prison, as well as many more to come but she was coming to terms with it. Christmas Day itself had been terrible for her as it drew near and arrived as she missed her family and tried to forget about it all. Luckily, she had made friends who wouldn't let her do that. They had talked her out of her sadness and she'd actually enjoyed the day. She was grateful to them for that, but wished she could have done more than a candy bar each. 'Next year maybe' she thought. 'Next year I'll do better.'

"Hellooo. Anybody there?" Becky waved hands in from of Paige's face, finally getting her attention. "Wow, when you're in a daydream, you're long gone. Are you ok? You're not yourself into a mess again are you."

"No I'm not, I'm fine. You worry about me too much." Paige got up and went to head past Becky but she grabbed her arm. "Can you blame me after what you said? I didn't want to go through the same for New Years."

"No I can't, but it's all ok, does that mean something happens here for New Year?"

"Well you definitely are in a more positive mood, but you're asking a lot. Nothing happens out there tonight, we will be locked up for the night and lights out as always, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little party of our own with a beer? We just have to keep it down so they don't catch us."

Paige looked at Becky like she was mad. "Since when were you such a rebel? Late night parties, breaking the rules? And beer? Now I know you're losing it." Becky just gave her a smile. "If you don't want one, don't have one, more for me."

"Wait, you've seriously got beer?"

"Well that depends doesn't it. If you don't believe me, then clearly you don't want one, and if you tell anybody, then we won't have any because it'll get swiped, or confiscated by a guard who wants it for themselves. So it's up to you."

"Ok ok, I won't say anything, it's just for us."

"Exactly, come on now, lets get out of here." Becky headed out the cell and joined her friends. Paige followed, still with a big grin that was spotted pretty quickly.

"You look like the cat who swallowed the canary." Charlotte said "Whats got you so happy?"

"Me? Nothing." Paige said, looking at Becky whole trying to get rid of the big smile. "We were, just, talking about New Years parties, ones we've been to and ones we could have in the future." Paige laughed as she said the last bit, getting a 'stop talking about it' look from Becky who decided to get the conversation away from that night. "That's right, I always loved New Years back home before I moved down here, there was an Irish Bar in New York that put on the best party every year. Problem was, it got too good and too popular. It meant they started to charge huge amounts for tickets even though I was one of their regular customers."

"Oh you're right about that." Charlotte agreed "All the best places seem to be doing that now, just to make extra money."

"Exactly, plus I never found a bar down here that was as good, so I wasn't going to pay just to get in."

"You should just party at home." Emma said. "Somebody hosts, it rotates each year, you drink, play games, see in the new year, fall asleep, wake up in a corner the next day in the same clothes and walk home looking a mess."

"Ah the walk of shame." Paige laughed. "Something you're familiar with Em?"

"What, like none of you ever have?"

"What are you trying to say? I'm a respectable girl, one who, no, who am I kidding. One year I had to walk back from a Halloween party dressed in a 'slightly' revealing police uniform." Paige looked at the floor.

"Ah the irony of that story here, you should have kept it." Becky said, giving everyone a laugh, except Paige who shot Becky an evil look. "I might have been able to flirt my way out of a ticket, but that uniform wouldn't have got me out of anything but, well, the uniform itself." She said with a laugh and a wink.

"Ok, that's too hot for this conversation." Becky said, looking away. "Anybody thought about a resolution for this year yet?"

"That depends, anyone got one they won't have broken in a week?"

"Nattie, don't be such a cynic." Charlotte said "I actually do, I want to get back in shape. I sit around too much, I'm going to do more exercise."

"Hey that's good, I think I'm going to sat the same, how are you going to do it?" Emma was intrigued.

"Basic stuff in my cell, press ups, sit ups, the usual. Then come up with something for my time out in the the yard."

"That's sounds great, any chance I could get in on that?"

"Sure, I've been a trainer before, anyone who wants to can workout with me." Emma was happy about was met with a lot of mumbling from the others.

"I think I'm going to be busy"

"But relaxing in the sun is a lot more fun"

"I'm way too lazy"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "Well if you change your minds, just let me know. You'll feel better for it. Anyway, what's anyone else planning for the new year. Paige?"

"Ok, I hadn't thought about it till now but mines pretty obvious. I'm going to stay out of big fights, and out of the hospital."

"Ok, now we know who's going to be first to fail now then" Natalya said, drawing a look of fake hurt from Paige. "Oh Nattie, how could you? I'm going to be a girl of peace from her on. You'll see." Natalya shook her head "No chance, you'll go nuts the first time you run out of coffee. You were ready to rip people's heads off when you thought it got stolen."

"First of all, it did get stolen, by her." Paige shot Becky a look. "And I'll just make sure I don't run out."

"Yeah, we will see. We will see. Right, my turn I think, mine will be to try and be a little more fun. I feel like I've been too serious recently, too much of a mother. I'm too young for that stuff!"

"That's good, but don't change too much, or you'll wreck mine, I'm going to make sure that we all stay as we are. With thesetwo new additions, we've got a great little gang here and I hope nothing changes. I'm going to make sure of it."

"Sounds like you should be the mother here, Bex" Emma said.

"Oi! Mean!"

Unfortunately for Becky, they all ganged up on her for the rest of the day, calling her mom, often in a variety of childish tones. Even Paige was having way too much fun. Getting on Becky's nerves was helping her to gain just a little bit of payback for the coffee incident. By the time they were all sent back to their cells for the night, Becky was actually grateful for it. "Oh thank you, I'm not going to miss you lot tonight." Emma went to her knees and grabbed Beckys leg. Natalya and Charlotte didn't hesitate to do the same. "Night Mommy, I wuv you" Emma cooed at her as the other too held on tight.

"Hey! Stop that and return to your cells now!"

"See. Now you got us all in trouble. Get up and go to bed. Oh no." Becky realised what she said way too late. The others all burst out laughing. No point in fighting it anymore. "Oh shut up, you better not carry on with this next year, or you're all grounded." The three of them just smiled at her as they went their own ways. Becky turned to Paige "That means you too Missy. Go on, get inside!" They went into their cell and the door was locked.

"Are you going to stop this Mommy crap or is the party off?" Becky looked to Paige. "Ok, I'll stop now, not that you didn't bring it on yourself."

"I don't care, I don't want to be your mother, knock it off." Paige spotted the change in tone and knew it really was time to stop. "Ok ok, I'm sorry. You forgive me though don't you." She spoke like she already had been forgiven, annoying Becky a little, but only a little. "I don't know, I think you've managed to talk yourself out of a New Years party. Good night." Becky sped into her bunk and faced the wall. Paige wasn't letting that go however and started to shake Becky as hard as she could. "Nooooo, you promised we were going to have our own little party, you're not flaking out on me now, no way. Come on! Ok, no more Mommy jokes, I promise."

"There we go, it's amazing how agreeable you can be with the proper motivation. Ok, let's have a little fun, but we've got to keep the noise down, now, i'll get the beer."

"Ok, you've got to tell me, how the hell have you managed to get hold of beer, it's been driving me mad all day but you made me keep it to myself all day. All Day!"

"It's no big secret really. Although I may have been having a little fun with you, I feel a lot less guilty about it now. So you have a choice, do you want Root Beer or Ginger Beer?" Becky held up two drinks cans. Paige didn't know to laugh or slap her cellmate. "You suck, you know that." Paige grabbed the root beer can, sat down and opened it. The two of them drank slowly, trying to make,it last while they watched the small clock count down the minutes to midnight. They talked about all the random stuff they had talked about many times before. As always, they found each other easy to talk to and lost focus on the time, lucky to notice that there were only a few minutes left before midnight. When 11:59 hit both of them were focused on the clock.

"Why doesn't this thing have a seconds counter?"

"Yeah, we must have a word with the concierge next time"

The two smiled as the final minute ticked over. "Happy New Year! They both cheered (quietly) at the same time, shared a quick New Years kiss and hugged. When Paige went to break the hug, Becky kept her hand around Paige's cheek, brought them back together and kissed her again. This time the kiss was longer and much deeper. Paige was startled, she hadn't expected it at all, she couldn't believe it, but she didn't want to stop it either. She put her hands around Becky's waist and kissed her back. The kiss only lasted a number of seconds before they broke apart. When they did they both realised for the first time what they had done. Neither of them knew what to say. They just looked at each other with the same shocked and surprised expression. The silence seemed to last an eternity. Neither woman had any idea what to do or what to say, and of course, there was nowhere either of them could go. Paige was nearer to the bunks and sat down, finally breaking the eye contact that had been constant since the kiss. Before she could say anything, Becky got into her bunk as well. No words were exchanged the whole night. Each of them thought the other one had gone to sleep, but if there wasn't a bed in the way, they would have been looking at each other the whole time. It probably wasn't a bad thing, as no one knew what to say at that point, and had no idea what they were going to say in the morning. They weren't going to be able to avoid talking about it for long.

A/N: Thank You For Reading. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was a little bit of filler, but I wanted the end to come at that moment to move it on.

The last chapter brought the most views and visits of any so far. Thank you all so much for that. I'm so glad I got my counter back. Especially as when I was reading stories myself, I couldn't find my own work in the wrestling section. So it's good to know so many people found it and read it.

Please follow/favourite and review. The praise I've had so far has been awesome and has been an inspiration to me writing this. I also welcome positive suggestions/predictions for the story by review or message.

I hope you all had a great holiday period and I wish you nothing but the best for 2016. Happy New Year!
