It was Monday night Raw. Roman had avoided Amaya all night yesterday once they got to the arena. She tried texting him, but he didn't respond. She didn't ride back with them to the next town.
She got the feeling he was mad at her, but she didn't understand why. Was it because she rode back with April instead of him? She wanted to spend time with her sister, she wanted to tell her about her trip, keeping out Roman.
She walked towards the guys locker room and knocked. Randy opened the door and smiled.
"Hey Yaya", he said.
"Hey, is the Shield in?", she asked.
"I think they had a meeting with Hunter, might want to check there", he said.
"Okay, thanks", she said.
She started down the hall. The guys turning the corner.
"Hey", Dean said, hugging her.
"Hey, I've been looking for you three. We have a match tonight", she said.
Seth nodded.
"Yeah, Kaitlyn and 3MB", Seth said.
She nodded and looked at Roman. He wouldn't meet her eyes.
"Hunter talked to us", Dean said.
"Yeah, so um, I should go get ready for that. We have to film a segment before tonight's show", she said, walking passed them.
Dean and Seth nodded, talking while walking down the hall. She reached out and grabbed a hold of Roman's arm. Stopping him.
"What's going on?", she asked.
"Nothing", he said, shaking his head.
"Is this over?", she asked softly.
He met her eyes, sighing.
"You're mad at me", she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I wanted you to ride with me, I missed you", he said.
"And I wanted to go with you, but I also wanted to spend time with my sister. I told you she and I can't go for more than four days without seeing each other.", she said.
"That's not healthy Yaya", he said.
"So you're going to make me choose between you and my sister?", she asked.
He set his hands on his hips.
"No, I just, I'm sorry", he said.
The halls were empty. She placed her hands on his chest and looked up at him.
"I tried calling you so we could meet in my hotel room. I had my own room", she said.
He smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Damn.", he said.
She laughed softly.
"I didn't realize how mad I got. I didn't have a right to get that mad, especially since you let me go home to my daughter", he said.
"Its okay. How is she by the way?", she asked.
"Fevers down, she was happy to see me. When I left her, she just had a runny nose, so that means I get to go to New Jersey with you", he said, wiggling his brow.
"Yay", she said.
He glanced up to make sure they were still alone.
"Quick kiss?", he asked.
She nodded and he leaned down, kissing her softly.
"I'll see you in a few minutes love", he whispered.
She let him go and walked down the hall as he made his way towards his locker room.
Meeting with Renee Young.
"Maya, you recently became a two time Divas champion. How does that feel?", she asked.
Maya smiled.
"Well Reese, it feels amazing. No one else can do what I do. Kaitlyn thought she had this in the bag, but it never left mine", Maya said.
Renee rolled her eyes as Maya changed her name to Reese.
"How are things between you and your sister? I mean, you turned on her during the battle royal...", Maya cut her off.
"Stop, let me stop you there. I didn't turn on my sister, I love my sister, but I needed to take care of Kaitlyn on my own.", Maya said.
Renee nodded as AJ appeared, smiling.
"She's right Renee, I've always done everything for Maya and now, I think it's time I let the little bird fly", AJ said.
Maya shook her head and rolled her eyes.
"Oh my god, even when this has nothing to do with you, you find a way to make it about you. This is my time, this is my title", Maya said.
AJ nodded.
"Yes, yes it is and I'm proud of you little sister. I'm just here to let you know, no hard feelings.", AJ said.
Maya nodded, taking it. Kaitlyn appeared clapping.
"Wow, you two are something else. Without me, you're falling apart", Kaitlyn said.
"No we haven't, we're sisters, sisters fight.", AJ said, before stomping away.
Kaitlyn looked at Maya.
"By the way, we have a match tonight. Find some partners because I've already found mine", she said, crossing her arms over her chest as 3MB appeared next to her.
"The three stooges, really Kaitlyn", Maya said.
"Like you can do better", Kaitlyn said.
At that moment, The Shield appeared.
"She can", Roman said.
Maya smirked and all four left Kaitlyn with Renee and 3MB. Renee looked at Kaitlyn.
"Don't lose", Kaitlyn said, turning and pointing her finger at each member of 3MB.
She walked off.
"We've got this", Heath Slater said.
CM Punk was talking to Hunter when the guys got to gorilla.
"Just the three I wanted to see", Phil said.
He excused himself from Hunter and met the guys half way.
"I have my match tonight with Ryback and you three will come down and help me. This will prompt a match with The Rock", Phil explained.
The guys nodded.
"After your match with Amaya, just wait here in gorilla. Hunter will let you know when to go out there", he said.
"Can I change something?", Amaya asked from behind Dean.
Phil smirked and nodded.
"Let me see what you've got Smalls", he said.
"I think them going down there is a good idea, but since we are starting a storyline. Why not I walk out to help, but Ryback attacks me, prompting them to come down and help me.", Amaya said.
"That's actually a good idea and it will make sense with your storyline", Phil said.
She felt a hand on her lower back. She knew it was Roman's hand.
"Let me talk to Ryback, the last thing I want is him killing you", Punk said.
Amaya nodded as he walked off down the hall. Kaitlyn slapped her butt as she joined them.
"Hey, you ready for our match?", she asked.
Amaya nodded and Robbie handed her the title.
"You guys are wanted by section F", Robbie said to the Shield.
All three guys nodded. Roman leaned down to kiss Amaya's cheek.
"See you out there", he whispered, before walking away.
Kaitlyn nudged her.
"You and Roman have been getting pretty close", she said, wiggling her brow.
Amaya chuckled.
"He's my friend and besides, he has a girlfriend or well fiancée now", Amaya said.
"So, he's not married yet. It's a sin to sleep with a married man, they never said anything about a boyfriend.", Kaitlyn said.
Amaya thought over Kaitlyn's words. She made a point, of course, there will be those who disagreed with that statement. Apart of her believed Kaitlyn, but the other half, the half that kept picturing a disappointed look on her sister's face when she finds out.
This was wrong Amaya and you know it, she could hear her sister say in her head.
Kaitlyn's music played just as 3MB showed up. They walked out next. Hearing The Shield's music play and the crowd cheer loudly. Hearing the crowd always gave her butterflies. Her music started and she walked out. Sliding into the ring with ease. She froze, swallowing.
"Maya", she could hear Dean call.
Someone placed their hands on her. She jumped, looking up. It was Roman.
"You okay?", he asked.
She looked back at the two faces she never wanted to see again.
"Who is that?", Seth asked.
Kaitlyn saw them too.
"My parents", Maya said.
All three men looked towards them, trying not to make it obvious.
"Don't let it distract you Amaya, focus, you've got this. They can't hurt you anymore", Dean said.
