'She Said to Me'
For: -
Pairings: Justin Gabriel/Layla, Evan Bourne/Gail Kim
Year: 2010

The annual WWE Christmas party was a break from what the Superstars and Divas put themselves through every night of the year. None of them complained about their job, but every one of the non-wrestlers knew how much it took out of them.

I saw you talking on the phone,
I know that you were not alone.
But you're stealing my heart away,
Yeah, you're stealing my heart away.

Justin Gabriel felt the familiar tug on his arm as his girlfriend pulled him over to their table of friends. She was quite strong for such a small woman and he was somewhat afraid of what damage her six-inch heels could do to him.

He greeted his Nexus friends with a handshake and the Divas at the table with a hug and kiss on the cheek. The Nexus were practically attached at the hip, even off screen, and he was grateful that Layla had become good friends with them also.

He sat down next to Heath; Layla sat beside him, holding onto his arm protectively. She didn't need to be like that, it was just in her nature. He looked around the room full of people, mentally taking note of whom he had to greet throughout the evening. His eyes landed on Gail Kim, who was speaking on the phone, and smiled when she waved at him kindly, having caught his eye.

He knew he was with Layla, and he liked her very much, but there was just something about the way Gail smiled and spoke to him that made him think that she could have been a better choice than Layla.

You're acting like you're on your own,
But I saw you standing with a girl
Stop tryin' to steal my heart away
Stop tryin' to steal my heart away

Gail stood near a wall, talking on the phone with her currently injured boyfriend Matt Korklan. He was supposed to be with her tonight, but weather had prevented a plane from being flown out of Missouri.

As she spoke to him, telling him that she wished he were with her, and him telling her that he wished he could be there, she let her eyes scan across the room. She was looking for Eve or Natalie, so when she got off the phone she knew where she was headed and didn't look lost.

However, her eyes met with Justin Gabriel's shortly after she had spotted Natalie. She raised her left hand and gave him a small wave, emitting a smile from the South African superstar. Even when she was talking to her boyfriend, Gail couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach every time he smiled and let his dimples show.

She quickly turned her head and looked away, preventing herself from blushing. She also hoped that Layla had been too distracted to see her wave at her boyfriend. The over protectiveness Layla exhibited was enough to make anyone back away.

"I really wish you were here." Gail said honestly into the phone, sighing. Matt sighed too,

"I wish I was there. I love you." He told her and she repeated the words. She did love him.

However, she may have felt something for Justin also.

Maybe it's the way you move,
You've got me dreaming like a fool.
That I could steal your heart away,
I could steal your heart away.

Layla had pulled Justin up to dance, much to his protests. He didn't have to worry, though. He just stood there and shifted from foot to foot as Layla did her professional looking dances around him, thus making him look good in the process.

At that point in time, he was the only male on the dance floor. The other men - save for Ron Killings and Santino – hated to show their dance moves in public unless slightly inebriated. Justin didn't mind, it just made him look that much better as the Divas swarmed around him and danced. Not with him – Layla would have pulled out some hair extensions – but close to him, they were dancing with each other.

He hadn't failed to notice Gail's presence on the dance floor, dancing lamely with Eve and Natalie. The three didn't seem to care what they looked like; they were more focused on having fun.

Despite being with Layla, his eyes had travelled many times up and down Gail's body, admiring it as she swayed her hips and moved her arms.

His mind snapped back to reality as Layla grinded against him. He'd have to keep his thoughts in check.

No matter what it is you think
I'm not the kind of girl to blink,
And give my heart away
Stop trying to steal my heart away

Gail had danced for around an hour and was exhausted. She had kept herself occupied by dancing with Eve and Natalie, changing partners when the two of them wanted to spend time with their other halves.

She had felt Justin's eyes on her most of the time she was dancing and wished he would just look away. He was with Layla and things were supposed to be that way, or he would have left her. She was with Matt, and the happiest she had been in months, if not years.

Just one look by the Nexus member made Gail feel uneasy. With one simple move he could easily make her fall in love. Not because he looked so good but because they had become good friends since he was moved to the Raw roster.

He knew a lot about her from their talks. With Layla on SmackDown and Matt out with an injury, Gail and Justin had had a lot of time to spend together. Sometimes she wished that wasn't the case, then her mind wouldn't be wandering away from her boyfriend. Until she remembered just how good a guy Justin was.

I don't know where we're going
I don't know who we are
It feels like we are flowing
High above the stars

She could once again feel his eyes on her and this time she looked up to meet his. He smiled kindly at her, making her smile apologetically.

She saw him excuse himself from the table and head her way, conveniently on the way to the men's bathroom. He stopped for what seemed like just a quick chat, but it had so much more meaning than that.

"We can't do this." Gail told him honestly. He looked at her and shrugged, a small smile on his face.

"I know we can't." He said in understanding, "Maybe another time." He walked off to the bathroom to cover his tracks.

"Maybe another time." The Canadian Diva repeated softly as Matt's name flashed on her mobile's screen.

I can feel your heartbeat.
Your heartbeat,
Your heartbeat.
