The Zack Mercer Story
Chapter 9: Proposal
Tuesday, August 9th, 2016 - Summerslam 2016: 12 Days Away - Bakersfield, California
It had been days since Andrew had talked to or communicated in any shape or form with Cassie. It's almost like that night they had, had been nothing more than just sex. Passionate sex by the way. That night he realized something. Something that everyone had been trying to tell him over and over. He realized that he was in love with Lexi. That night he envisioned Cassie as Lexi and it hurt him knowing that he all that time, he wasted it on someone he didn't love. Every since that night he had been acting weird with Lexi.
Andrew sat on a crate taping up his wrist with black wrist tape as he wore his red tights that he wore at the live event with an elbow pad on his right elbow from an slight strain on his elbow. He wore one of his signature t-shirts now as Lexi walked up to him in her ring gear.
"Well, Well, Well. If it isn't Mr. Tuesday Night himself." said Lexi as she jumped up and sat next to him.
"Yes ma'am it is. How you doing short stuff?" James asked her as he cut the tape from the roll of tape and started to adjust his wrist tape.
"Well, I'm alright but I would be better if you told me why you have been acting weird with me?" Lexi said as she looked at him stiffen up.
"I haven't been acting weird with you." James lied to her. She placed her hand on his top of his hand causing him to look up in her.
"Now I will give you another chance to tell me why you're acting weird or I'll lick you." She joked. Andrew chuckled at her statement while he ran a hand through his hair.
"You wouldn't dare lick me." James challenged her. She smiled as she then got onto to her knees on the crate and stuck out her tongue before she licked the side of his face while he made a fake grossed out face.
"I did it." She said as she hopped off the crate.
"I can feel it."
"Don't act like you didn't like it you pervert."
"Hey just cause I happen to look at Lucha Underground for Ivelisse and Catrina doesn't make me a pervert."
"Your internet history tells me different." Lexi said as she walked away from Andrew. Andrew couldn't help himself but look into the direction that Lexi walked in. His eyes wandered down her back to her backside. He took his eyes off her body and looked down at the ground while he sighed.
"I've been weird cause I love you." He said to himself about Lexi as he jumped down from the crate. Once Andrew was far gone, Lexi walked back to the crate and kneeled down to the ground before she pulled her phone out from under the crate. She looked up to see if he was walking back but he wasn't. She stopped the recording on her phone and replayed.
"I've been weird cause I love you." The replay said making Lexi look shocked. She got up to her feet and put her hands up to her mouth.
"He loves me." Lexi said to herself.
Hours Later - Smackdown Live Arena
"Bully" Hits
Zack Mercer walked out onto the stage with entrance video being the only the video on in the arena while all the lights were currently off within the arena. He raised his index fingers and middle fingers up in the air as the lights of the arena came back on and began going back and forth between red and white lights.
"Mercer Time is here baby." Zack Mercer yelled as he walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans in the front row.
Once he reached the ringside area he looked around at the walked around the ringside area to the ring and got up onto the ring apron similar to the Miz's style. He held onto the middle rope while he raised up his index finger and middle finger with his other hand. He got up to his feet and entered the ring before went over to the turnbuckle and did his pose over again while the fans cheered loudly.
He jumped down from the ropes and walked towards the center of the ring requesting a microphone.
"Bully" Stops
"Bakersfield. How you doin?" Zack asked into the microphone while the fans cheered loudly. Zack put the mic up to mouth but he stopped once he heard the fans chant his name
"Mercer." the fans chanted making Mercer smile as he looked around the arena. He looked down at the ring mat before he snapped his head back while he ran a hand through his hair.
"Alright guys, I get it. You guys are loyal Mercer Maniacs." Zack pandered to the crowd as he put the mic up to his mouth.
"Now last week if you watched Smackdown Live then you saw Mr. Tuesday Night team up with the Fearless One.' Zack said into the mic as the fans went quiet.
"And last week, I know you all see me and Nikki Bella whip the living hell out of those 2 jabronis last week right here on the Mercer show. And I'm proud to say that right here tonight, Nikki Bella is here in the Rabobank Arena." Mercer said into the mic causing the fans to crazy again. The cheers for Nikki were louder than the cheers for him.
"Okay, I'm slightly jealous. Ladies and Gentlemen, Nikki Bella!" Zack shouted in the mic as he pointed to the stage.
"You Can Look (But You Can't Touch)" by Kim Sozzi and Jim Johnston Hits
The fans in the arena all got up on their feet and started to cheer for Nikki Bella who walked out onto the stage with a smirk on her face making Zack Mercer look shocked. She did her famous Bella twirl before she started to walk down the ramp. She walked around the ringside area and jumped up onto the ring apron while Zack Mercer was seen in the corner taking it all in with the mic in his hand and a jealous face.
She walked to the center of the ring apron and took off her hat throwing it into the crowd. She did the Bella flip into the ring and raised a finger up at the ceiling. The fans died down while she walked over to Zack Mercer. She gave him a hug while he did the same to her.
"You Can Look (But You Can't Touch)" Fades away
"I'm not gonna lie. I'm jealous right now. But since it's you, I'll let it pass. If it were anyone else I would superkick the hell out of them." Zack said into the mic while Nikki was handed a microphone by the ring crew.
"So if it was Brie would you kick her?" Nikki asked into the microphone. This statement made Zack put his head down as he looked down at the ring mat with a smile on the floor.
"No, I wouldn't kick her probably because she'd kick my ass." Zack said into the mic as he heard a lot of laughs in the crowd. He looked around the arena.
"What? She hits hard. Very hard by the way. Last time Nikki hit me I almost got a concussion. And that simple just a fact." Zack said into the mic again making Nikki smile as she put the mic up to her mouth.
"Okay, Zack I know you…" Nikki said into the mic getting a bunch of whistles from the crowd.
"Not like that sadly." Zack said getting the fans quiet down.
"Look Zack, I know you and I know that you're not the kind of guy to come out here and just pander to them without a plan. You always have a trick up your sleeve. So what's the trick?" Nikki asked.
"Wow, You know me better than my girlfriend. Sorry ex-girlfriend." Zack said as he winked at the camera.
"I noticed something Nikki. And not the 2 most noticeable things." Zack said getting a few chuckles. Nikki put her hands on her hips and gave him a look.
"Come on you guys should know this when I'm on the mic, This show is not PG anymore. Anyway, Nikki, you don't have a match at Summerslam. I don't have a match unfortunately. So I'm thinking let's give the people what they want to see. And that is the most must-see non-couple in WWE History team up at Summerslam!"
As Zack said this the fans started to cheer loudly and not for him. But for Nikki Bella who stood in the corner now with a smile looking around at the crowd. Zack started to repeatedly stick his finger up into the sky executing the yes taunt that Daniel Bryan does to get a chant of "Yes" going.
"At Summerslam. You're getting your match!" Nikki shouted into the mic making Zack shake his head in a frenzy making his hair fly everywhere as he dropped the mic.
"Bully" Plays
The fans were still chanting "Yes" while Nikki had walked over to Zack and gave him a hug while Zack did the same but he lifted her up and raised an arm up in the air. Zack put her down smiled as they broke the hug away.
Backstage - Minutes Later
When James walked backstage he found Lexi standing there by the Gorilla Position waiting for him.
"Hey Lex." James said as he wrapped his hair up now in a messy bun with a rubberband he kept under his wrist tape.
"Hey Drew." Lexi said in a different tone with a smile on her face. James recognized her new tone and frowned with a slightly confused mood.
"Why are you acting weird?" James asked her.
"Because you love me." Lexi said.
"What?! Where the hell did you get that from?" James asked her freaking out a little bit. Lexi pulled out her phone as she bit her lip. She hit the replay button making James sigh as he heard his voice say the words I love you.
"Lexi I-" James was saying but Lexi wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him as she stood on her tip toes.
"I'm still dating Blake but Me and you we're gonna talk about this when we hit the road. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a match." Lexi said as she gave James a quick kiss before she took her arms from around his neck and skipped away which was something that she had rarely done ever. Lexi never skipped unless she did something flirtatious or something evil.
"I swear, I am more in love with her cute little sexy ass." James said to himself as he eyes Lexi and her backside.
A/N: So I hoped you enjoyed this Chapter and Yes I know no match but it was supposed to set up for Summerslam. I'm forming the storyline for Zack Mercer and Nikki Bella's romance now. But I'm letting you know the match for Backlash so do look forward to that. It will be Zack Mercer vs John Cena at Backlash. Also I would appreciate it if you all would vote for the pairing for my new story Drake Barnett: The International Wrestling Machine which my Drake Barnett will be a GaryStu possibly bigger than Zack and Brock combined. And yes he will be on the Raw brand.
This is the ZackAttack signing out!
Peace!
