Chapter 25: Your Heart Belongs To Me
.
.
Scarlett finished taping up her hand and placed the roll back into her bag.
The butterflies were fluttering about in her tummy. She stood from the bench and paced the floor of the locker room trying to settle them.
She heard the familiar titles from Raw play on the monitor in the background, Nickelback's 'Burn it to the Ground' filled the silent room as she wrung her hands out in front of her.
She was nervous.
This was her first night back and tonight she would have a match against Eve.
On one hand she was anxious about the match, worried she might be a little rusty after the weeks away from the ring, but on the other hand she was excited.
This was the beginning of her promised title shot.
She had been looking forward to getting a chance to fight for the gold, it was one of the things that had spurned her on these past few months, the knowledge that she would get a chance to have her name in the history books as one of the Divas Champions. Sure she would have preferred to be going for the Women's Championship, but that was gone now and beggars could not be choosers.
.
Hearing the soft knock on the door she turned her head and called that it was safe to come in. The Divas locker room was empty, the other girls had taken to catering to fuel up and chat before they were needed for the night.
.
The door swung open and a tattooed torso appeared. He glanced about to make sure it was safe to come in before he entered the room and closed the door behind him.
Phil approached the redhead with a grin on his face, wrapping his arms around her he, held her close to him.
"Hey." He spoke.
"Hey." She smiled up at him.
"Nervous?" He asked.
"Nope."
"Liar."
"OK... maybe just a tad."
"I knew it." He laughed, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. You and Eve have been over this a million times."
"I know. But try telling that to the butterflies."
.
Phil pulled away slightly and dropped to his knees.
He placed his face against Scarlett's stomach.
"Hey butterflies. Just letting you know, Scarlett's got this match covered. So you can settle down now."
.
Scarlett giggled as his prickly face brushed against her baby soft skin.
"That better?" He asked as he gazed up at her.
"Much." She smiled back.
"How's your heart?"
"My heart?" She asked furrowing her brow.
"I could work my magic with that too if you'd like." He smirked as he fingered the material of her top.
.
She rolled her eyes as she clicked on to the cheekiness of his suggestion.
"Phil, you little pervert."
"I think that's your racing heart talking. I'd better have a word." He wiggled his eyebrows.
.
Phil pulled Scarlett over to the couch in the room. He sat and pulled the redhead onto his knee before he lowered his head to her chest. This time instead of places his face against her skin, he dipped his head face first into her cleavage and began talking, apparently to her heart.
.
Scarlett laughed as his warm breath tickled her.
She couldn't make out a single word he was saying, it was all muffled but he was waving his hand about as if he were having a real conversation with another person.
"Phil!" She squeaked as she began wriggling in his grip, still enthralled in laughter.
.
Phil removed his face and looked up at her. He had the look of a mischievous school boy.
"I told your heart that tonight was important, and not to mess it up. And to keep cool because you had this covered." He smirked. "It's a hard job telling body organs and invisible stomach dwelling butterflies to behave, but someone's gotta do it."
"Thanks. I appreciate it."
"You should. It's not comfortable in there. And it's dark."
.
Scarlett rolled her eyes as she gave him an amused smile.
"Oh one more thing..." He began before diving straight back into her bosom and began his muffled conversation again.
.
Scarlett giggled wildly, falling back on to the couch in the process.
Once she caught her breath and was able to stop laughing she looked at him.
"So, what was so important that you had to venture back in to the dark cavernous bosom?"
"The most important thing of all." He replied as he moved to lean over her, "I told your heart that it belonged to me and I would never break it."
.
Scarlett smiled as she bit her lip.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Cherry Bomb." Phil replied before his kissed the redhead.
.
.
.
.
"She's My Cherry Pie..."
.
The song filled the arena as Scarlett moved through the curtain and down to the ring where Eve Torres stood awaiting her. The redhead climbed through the ropes and moved to the turnbuckle, raising her arms in the air with a smug look on her face. She dropped to her feet and turned to face the brunette as the referee started the match.
.
.
The two divas locked up in the centre of the ring, Eve getting the better and twisting the arm of the redhead up behind her back.
Scarlett reversed it, pulling Eve's are tightly and roughly, keeping a smirk on her face. The former Divas Champion kicked the redhead in the shin, causing her to release her hold, then launched herself at her, knocking Scarlett to the ground before grabbing her red hair and throwing her head off the mat.
.
Eve got to her feet and pulled the former Legacy member to hers.
The brunette send chop after chop to the chest of Scarlett, sending her backwards into the corner.
Eve mounted the corner, delivering several blows to the redhead. Before she could get another blow in, Scarlett wrapped her arms around Eve's legs and power bombed her to the mat, buying her a few moments to pull herself together.
.
The redhead caught her breath and wasted no time in going to work on the fallen diva.
She set her sights on the right leg of the brunette, stomping away before twisting it into a single leg Boston crab.
Eve struggled and cried out in pain, but she held her cool and managed to get herself to the ropes.
Scarlett refused to release the hold, finally relenting as the referee began counting.
She grabbed a handful of brown hair as she pulled Eve to her feet, positioning her head under her arm, Scarlett pulled of a perfect snap suplex, followed by a float over and went for the pin.
.
Eve got her shoulder up at 2.
The redhead pounded her fist off the mat, clearly agitated.
She stood up sending a glare at the ref before turning her attention back to the other diva.
She threw her into the ropes before clotheslining her as she rebounded.
The brunette fell to the ground, but she didn't have time to rest as she was swiftly pulled back up again only to receive yet another powerful clothesline.
Eve lay on the mat holding her chest where the redhead's arm had connected.
Scarlett began to smooth down her attire, in an attempt to show she wasn't taking this match seriously.
As she turned around she narrowly missed a dropkick from the brunette diva, throwing herself at the ropes just in the nick of time.
.
Eve got to her feet again and came running at the redhead, but Scarlett ducked under her arm and ran the ropes. She she bounced off them, Eve attempted to knock her down but Scarlett countered with a running head scissors, flooring the diva once again.
.
Scarlett stood in the corner, waiting for Eve to get to her feet.
At the commentary desk Lawler said: "She's stalking her prey. I guess the Viper is rubbing off on her!"
And he was right.
There was something Viper-like about the way she was watching the other diva scramble to stand.
She was biding her time.
As soon as she saw her opportunity she struck - Superkick!
Eve hit the mat.
The redhead got to her knees to go for the pin but stopped.
She looked at brunette for a moment before a sick smile came across her face and she stood up.
Scarlett walked to the turnbuckle and quickly climbed it.
She leapt from the top and delivered a beautiful Moonsault.
The referee counted 3 and her arm was raised in victory.
.
She took to the corners, raising her arms in the air celebrating her win.
As she returned to the ring again, she looked over to the referee attending to the defeated diva.
She scowled.
Scarlett pulled the ref away before proceeding to stomp the defenceless diva, all the while berating her for losing.
.
"You are nothing Eve." She yelled, "Just another pretty face who doesn't belong here."
.
Suddenly Scarlett was hit from behind, momentarily dazing her.
She she turned to see who it was, she received a slap in the face, followed by a few more to her head.
The redhead pushed the assailant away, before raising her head to get a look.
The perky blonde sent the redhead a glare, but even then she still looked about as intimidating as a hiccup.
Scarlett shook her head.
.
"And you... You, Kelly are another one who doesn't belong here."
.
Kelly stood her ground, though her trembling lip gave away a sign of fear.
"I'm coming for that title. You don't deserve it, you only want it because it's shiny." She mocked before exiting the ring.
.
She walked up the ramp backwards all the while keeping her eyes on the blonde.
She pointed to the Divas Championship which Kelly was clutching, and mouthed 'Mine', before exiting through the curtain.
.
.
.
As soon as Scarlett got backstage she was tackled by a familiar pair of blondes.
"That was awesome." Natalya yelled and she hung on to the redhead.
"Thanks Nattie." Scarlett giggled as the blonde released her.
"Yeah little Red, I've got to hand it to you, I didn't think you could be convincing as a heel. What with you being so sweet." Beth said pinching Scarlett's cheeks, "But I have to hand it to you, you were a queen bitch out there."
"Thanks Beth, you must be rubbing off on me."
"I've never been so proud." The tall blonde mock cried.
.
The three females made their way to catering. Scarlett wasted little time in downing a bottle of water as soon as they arrived before taking another bottle and sitting down at the table the two blondes were at.
.
"So, do you know where this storyline is heading yet?" Nattie asked.
"Yeah, maybe you could join the Divas of Doom." Beth added.
"I don't know yet. I'm fighting Nikki Bella next week, and interfering in Kelly's match with you Nattie. But after that, I haven't got a clue. I'm going to be fighting Kelly for the title I know that much but I haven't been told when that will be, if I'm going to win or what's happening afterwards."
"It won't be at the Elimination Chamber, you would have had your script already." Nattie spoke.
.
Scarlett let out a small sigh.
.
"Hey it doesn't have to be at a Pay Per View, you could have a title match on Raw." Beth said, trying to perk the redhead up.
"Yeah, you're right." Scarlett smiled a little.
"And you're going to win."
"How could you possibly know that Nattie?" Scarlett asked.
"Because." The Canadian smirked, "If Kelly retains, we riot."
"Yeah, and use her as a battering ram." Beth added.
.
Scarlett looked at the two blondes and smiled.
"I love you girls."
"You love girls?" Came another voice.
.
The three females turned to see Phil, Miz and Kofi standing behind them.
"Yes Miz, the thought that you were part of the male gender sent me over the edge." Scarlett replied.
"Cool. Any sleep overs planned?" He asked pulling a seat out and sitting down.
.
Phil's hand made contact with the back of Miz's head.
"Behave Mizanin."
.
The six of them chatted for a little while before Scarlett stood up.
"I'll catch you all later" She said before kissing Phil goodbye and exiting the room.
.
She made her way down the corridor, upon hearing her name being called she stopped and turned to see Phil jogging towards her.
"Hey, what's up?" She asked.
"Nothing. Just thought I'd walk you to the locker room." He said taking her hand.
"Um.. I'm not going to the locker room." She replied, stopping. "I have one more thing to do then I'm done for the night."
"Oh, where you off to then? Sexy photo shoot?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"Not quite. I have to do a run-in, in about five minutes."
"Orton's match." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah, then I am all yours." Scarlett smiled, leaning up to kiss him on the nose.
"Oh no." Phil replied pulling back against him. "You can do better than that."
.
The redhead grinned as she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought his lips down to meet hers.
"There." She panted, "Now, I've really got to go."
.
She blew him as kiss as she sprinted down the hallway.
.
.
.
.
Orton got to his feet and began stalking Evan Bourne.
He had that look in his eyes, that look that told the world that he was clearly in Viper mode.
Orton began pounding the mat with his fists, as the younger man pulled himself up. As soon as Bourne turned, Orton pounced going for an RKO, but Bourne anticipated and instead hit the viper with a lethal kick to the skull. Orton fell to the mat and rolled to the corner to safety.
He held his head, his face showing utter shock at the younger man's actions.
He stood upright and growled as he attacked Bourne.
The high flyer side stepped the viper, sending him into the ring post.
.
Bourne took his opportunity to get as many shots in as possible, he sent left and right arms to the back of Orton, kicking furiously, desperate to inflict as much damage on the stronger man.
Orton gave a shove, sending Evan flying across the ring.
He then sent a beckoning motion to the empty ramp as Bourne hit him with a dropkick.
As soon as Orton was laying flat on the mat the younger man climbed the turnbuckle and set himself up to go 'AirBourne'.
.
Suddenly a red haired figure came running down the ramp with a chair in hand.
Scarlett, still dressed in her red tights and black leather wrestling top, jumped up on the apron and hit Evan Bourne in the back with the chair, a crunch of metal could be heard throughout the arena as the man fell from the top rope and the referee called for the bell.
Bourne lay on the mat as the redhead climbed through the ropes and swung again.
.
Scarlett stepped over him and moved towards the viper who was now sitting in the corner, she extended a hand and pulled him to his feet.
He wrapped an arm around her waist as he wiped at his lip, checking for blood.
He reached his hand down to hers and took the chair from her grip, then he shot a look at the fallen superstar in the ring, a smirk slowly creeping onto his tanned face.
.
The Viper stepped closer to Bourne, the redhead still firmly attached to his side, he let go of her to raise the chair high before he sent it crashing down onto the unmoving body.
He then repeated the process.
.
"You think you're so tough?" He yelled as he delivered another chair shot.
*SMASH*
"Think you can get the better of me?"
*SMASH*
"You think you're special? Think you can fly?" He laughed as he hit the fallen man one last time.
*SMASH*
"Well you're not the only one who can fly."
.
.
The Viper turned to the redhead and motioned for her to go over to the corner.
She looked at him with a furrowed brow.
Again, he pointed at the corner, the look in his eyes said there was no arguing with him.
The redhead nodded and made her way to the turnbuckle.
She climbed it as the Viper positioned the body of Bourne beneath the corner.
She stood at the top, looking uncertain, she bit her lip as Orton yelled "Do It" at her.
.
In one swift motion the redhead jumped into the air and rotated her body a perfect 360 degrees, pulling her knees to her chest before hitting the other body with a thud.
The Viper quickly pulled her up and against him, smiling down at the man being attended to by medics.
The couple exited the ring as the officials shooed them, Randy making sure to grab his Championship belt, which he managed to keep thanks to the disqualification clause.
As the pair retreated up the ramp, the smirk still etched on the Vipers face, he pulled her close and planted a kiss on her lips before the two exited through the curtain.
.
.
.
.
Upon entering the backstage area, Scarlett slipped out of Randy's grip.
.
"Hey, what's the rush?" He asked, "You fancy maybe getting a pizza and watching a movie?"
"I'm busy." She replied over her shoulder.
.
Randy stuck a hand out and lightly placed it on her shoulder, causing her to stop.
"Would it help if I said please?" He smiled.
"Get your hands off her Orton." Came a growl.
.
The two turned to see Phil glaring at the St. Louis native.
"Butt out Punk."
"Would it help if I said please?" The Chicago native smirked, mirroring the taller man's words.
"Private conversation, Punk."
"Conversation, over."
"I believe I was asking Scarlett a question, not you."
"And I believe she gave you an answer. She's busy." Phil replied his icy gaze never leaving the viper.
"I'm just trying to be friends." Randy spoke looking at the redhead.
"She has enough friends."
"I wasn't talking to you."
"And she's not talking to you."
"Why do you have to keep poking your nose into my business?" Randy asked frustratedly.
"Why do you keep harassing my girlfriend?"
"Ex-Girlfriend."
"No, girlfriend. Present tense."
.
Randy stopped and narrowed his eyes at the other man.
"You took him back?" The champion asked as he turned to face the diva, who remained quiet. "After everything?"
"Yeah, so now you stay the hell away from MY girlfriend."
.
Scarlett stayed silent as the two men argued right in front of her. She watched as they spat insult after insult, and threw glares back and forth before she threw her hands in the air, turned heel and left.
.
"See what you did now, you upset her again." Phil spat as he watched the retreating form of his girlfriend.
"Me? Maybe you should take a look in the mirror. I may be annoying her with my persistence, but at least I'm not treating her like an object."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Forget it. Why don't you go see if YOUR girlfriend is OK?" Randy said before he took walked off.
.
Phil stood alone for a moment before taking off in the direction the redhead had left a few moments before.
.
