CHAPTER 2
After much debate, Olivia agreed to call off from her job on Tuesday so she could be Seth's special guest for Monday Night Raw. Robin didn't have much of a debate with herself. She knew she was going. It was a matter of being able to call off or having to tear herself away Dean super early in the morning to commute back for work. Luckily, both women were able to get Tuesday off and a half day off on Monday so they could get ready.
"Robin, hurry up! The driver is at the door!" Olivia handed her bag over to the driver and gave herself one last glance in the mirror by her front door. She searched her entire closet for something to wear before settling on her tight fitting jeans, a black Marvel Comics graphic tee and her black ankle boots.
"I'm coming! Just…one…more…minute…" Robin danced in the mirror in an attempt to pull her super tight jeans over her hips. "Got em!" She buttoned up her jeans and tousled her hair to make sure it had the volume she liked. She focused her attention on the "Glam" t shirt she cut into a v neck and decided she needed some jewelry. After throwing on her largest pair of silver hoop earrings and a small star pendant necklace, she was ready to go.
"I can't believe the guys sent a limo for us." Olivia said while looking around at all the amenities of being the lady friend of a WWE Superstar.
"Girl, they insisted! They even wanted to pay for our room, but I told them we could take care of it." Robin reached over to grab a bottle of champagne she had just spotted. "I didn't want there to be any expectations since they're paying for everything."
"Great idea! I mean-don't get me wrong. I like Seth, but I don't want things moving too fast."
"You just like him?" Robin teased as she fanned herself with the note that was attached to the bottle of champagne.
"Yes, I like him! What is that tone about?" Olivia playfully tapped Robin on the arm and tried to fight the blushing of her cheeks.
"Mmhmm, I'll leave you alone for now, Liv!" She opened the note and a smile immediately spread over her face. "Listen to this, Liv…To Liv and Robin: Cheers to a great night ahead. Can't wait to see you!"
"Aww that's sweet!" Liv returned to a contemplative gaze out the window.
"Oh wait there's more. PS. I can't wait to taste the champagne on your lips or anywhere else it might end up!-Dean." Robin laughed heartily knowing the first sweet part of the note was solely written by Seth. The last part was classic Dean.
The women arrived at their hotel around 6 pm and had just enough time to freshen up before heading over to the Wells Fargo Center. Olivia was a lot more nervous than she showed. She actively fought to keep from thinking about Seth. She had convinced herself that he was a pro wrestler with girls in every city. There was no way he could genuinely be into her.
Robin on the other hand knew Dean had girls in every city, but didn't care. Dean was the type of guy you didn't try to keep on a leash or he'd end up resenting you. She figured she'd have as much fun with him as she could for the time being. After all, it was the best sex she'd ever had!
"Name please." The attendant at the box office exemplified the typical lackluster customer service experience you'd expect from someone who hated their job.
"Olivia Thompson and Robin Kendall." The lady typed their names into her system and looked up at them as if she were examining them from head to toe.
"Here's your tickets and backstage passes." She lazily slurred something into a walkie talkie summoning a rather large man wearing a dark blue blazer and khaki pants. "He'll take you to the backstage area. Please keep your passes with you at all times and enjoy the show." The large man introduced himself as Larry and told them to follow him.
Walking by the thousands of eager fans filing into their seats, Olivia's nerves started to get the best of her. She exhaled deeply with each door they walked through anxiously anticipating the moment when she'd see Seth.
"You cool, Liv?" Robin noticed her friend looking a little nervous and took her arm to give her some extra comfort. "Once you see him, you'll be good." Robin winked and gave Olivia a knowing smile. Even though Olivia was reluctant to admit it, Robin knew Seth was more than just some wrestler to her. You don't know someone since the 2nd grade without picking up a thing or two about them.
"Okay ladies, here we are." Larry left them at the last secure door in the hands of another security guard who was checking backstage passes. "Please keep your pass with you. It'll allow you to reenter the backstage area after the show. Have a good night, ladies." They showed their passes to the guard and walked through the door not knowing what to expect.
Bursting through the double doors, the women expected to see stars milling about, but it was quite desolate. They walked a few feet to the nearest women's bathroom to regroup before they saw Dean and Seth.
"I'll text Seth to let him know we're here." Olivia pulled out her phone while gently pulling at the loose curls that framed her face.
"I sent a text to Dean when we left the hotel. So they should know we're here by now." Robin touched up her makeup and reapplied her sheer pink lip gloss. As the ladies primped themselves awaiting a response from either of the guys, they heard someone moving around in one of the stalls. As the toilet flushed and the door flew open, they noticed it was Renee Young. Olivia silently mouthed "It's Renee Young!" to Robin as Renee moved to the sink to wash her hands.
"Hi ladies! Did I hear that you guys were looking for Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose?" Renee checked her bright red lipstick in the mirror before grabbing a paper towel.
"Yes, hi Renee. I'm Robin and this is my friend Liv. We were invited backstage by Seth and Dean, but we're not sure where to find them." Renee's sweet smile faded as Robin explained who they were.
"Oh…ok. Well, I can help you find them if you'd like." She opened the door to the bathroom and gestured for the women to follow her. After making a few turns, they were in the catering area where a few wrestlers were sitting at long rectangular tables. "There they are." Renee pointed down to the end of one of the tables where Dean and Seth were sitting with Cesaro, and Roman Reigns.
"Uh oh! Here comes trouble!" Dean shouted as he shot up from his seat nearly knocking over a member of the production staff. He walked towards the women and was followed by Seth. After Dean's boisterous greeting, Renee stood there to see which of the women he would embrace. "Hey doll. What's shakin?" Dean put his hand on Robin's waist and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. Seth walked up to Olivia and wrapped his arms around her waist while simultaneously planting a kiss on her forehead.
"I've been thinking about doing that all day, Liv." Seth's brown eyes seemed to gleam as he rested his forehead on Olivia's and stared directly into her eyes. It would be easy for a girl to get used to this.
Shortly after the two couples embraced, Renee asked to speak to Dean alone. Robin didn't think anything of it until she heard their slightly raised voices around the corner and she decided to take a peek.
"What the hell is this? You asked me out to dinner not even a week ago, and now you've got some other chick backstage with you?" Renee screamed at Dean with her finger pointed in Robin's direction.
"I called you and you blew me off. I can tell when someone sends me straight to voicemail." Dean seemed to look right over her head as if he was already over this conversation.
"What are you talking about? You never called me! What number did you call?"
"It doesn't matter, Renee. The moment has passed. Maybe we'll grab dinner another time. I don't have time for this right now." Dean headed back to the catering area leaving Renee speechless before she just walked away in the other direction. Robin jumped from the corner so Dean wouldn't know she was listening.
"Hey is everything cool, Dean?" Robin asked with a false sense of innocence drawing a laugh from Olivia and Seth who just saw her eavesdropping.
"Everything is great, doll." Dean wrapped his arm around Robin's waist before blatantly staring down her shirt.
"Do you guys want to watch the show from back here?" Seth asked once again touching Olivia's hair. "We have to get ready, but you're welcome to sit and watch on the TV near the Gorilla Position."
"As awesome as that sounds, we love the crowd experience!" Olivia's eyes brightened as her love for wrestling became apparent to Seth.
"Yes, we're real wrestling fans!" Robin chimed in before planting a kiss on Dean's lips in hopes of Renee Young coming back around to see it.
"Is that right?" Dean flashed a sinister grin at Robin. "Well, that just made you even sexier!" He kissed her on the cheek before suddenly turning and walking down the hall. "Come on, Rollins. It's Showtime!"
"We'll see you guys after the show." Seth kissed Olivia one last time before he followed Dean down the hall.
The women headed for the door towards the regular admission area where they had originally come in. They had just enough time to grab a beer and find their seats before the opening pyro went off. Getting to boo and cheer with the thousands of other fans was exactly the type of experience Olivia and Robin cherished. As a true wrestling fan, there was nothing like feeling the energy of the other wrestling obsessed maniacs around you. Having seats right at the barrier allowed them to clearly see the deliberate winks from each of their guys. This was officially the best night ever!
Around 10:45 before the crowd was released, the women decided to make their way backstage. Brimming with the excitement of having just seen their first live Monday Night Raw, they flashed their passes at the guard and ducked into the bathroom to check themselves before seeing Seth and Dean again.
"Renee Young isn't in here, is she?" Robin laughed checking under the stalls.
"I don't think so. What was the deal with her earlier?" Olivia reapplied her lip gloss as she noticed a slightly different look on the face of her friend. It was pensive…almost worrisome.
"I don't know, but she better keep her claws off of my man while I'm around!" The look was clear to Olivia now. It was jealousy! She'd never seen Robin get jealous of anybody. She knew Dean put it on her, but he must've really had a magic stick if he had Robin acting all possessive.
"Oh, wait! Now Dean is your man?!" Olivia interrogated Robin with childish glee. She had never heard Robin claim a man before. She was used to Robin being a free spirit.
"Wait, you know what I meant, Liv!" Robin hung her head in embarrassment. "Let's get the hell out of here." Robin rushed towards the bathroom door to escape Olivia's knowing glare.
As they walked out the door, Olivia was walking backwards refusing to let Robin off the hook. Robin simply shook her head to let Liv know she wasn't getting anything else out of her. In a split second while Robin placed her hand over her face to hide her embarrassment, Olivia turned around and walked into what seemed like a brick wall. It took a few seconds to realize she was feeling beautifully toned abs instead of bricks.
"Oh my Gosh, I'm so sorry." Olivia's eyes slowly traveled from his chiseled chest to his full black beard and ultimately met his striking green eyes.
"No worries, love." He smiled sending chills throughout Olivia's body. Robin tried to elbow Liv to snap her out of her daze. "What's your name, beautiful?"
"Uh-Olivia. I'm Olivia." Her neck was still stretched to take in his full 6'7 frame.
"Hello, Olivia. I'm Wade-"
"Oh she knows who you are, Wade Barrett." Robin interrupted still trying to get her friend to speak more than two words.
"Oh a fan, are we?" The British accent slipped from his smiling lips and forced Olivia to once again focus on his mouth.
"Yes, I'm a huge fan of yours, Mr. Barrett." Olivia managed to regain control of her body and seemed more comfortable now that the initial shock was over.
"It's always great to meet a fan." He took the towel from his shoulder and wiped the sweat from his face and chest. "It's especially nice when they're as beautiful as you." Robin caught a glimpse of Seth and Dean making their way towards them. She tried to get Olivia's attention, but she was engrossed in her conversation with Wade.
"Hey Liv. What's up?" Seth placed himself between Wade and Olivia. He wrapped his arm around her waist before addressing Wade. "Hey Wade. How's it going, man?" Wade got the message Seth was trying to send, but figured he'd rather find out directly from Olivia if Seth was anybody to worry about.
"Hey Seth. I was just talking to the lovely Ms. Olivia." Wade walked around Seth and stood on the other side of Olivia. He stood so close to her that she could feel his gorgeous abs rising and falling with each breath. Dean walked up and kissed Robin on the forehead before settling in for ringside seats with his hands resting on her hips.
"This looks interesting." Dean whispered into Robin's ear as he pulled her into him and away from the potential action.
"Well, Olivia and I are about to go to dinner. So, you'll have to find someone else's girl to practice your tired, British game on." Seth pulled Olivia onto the other side of him and he was now face to face with Barrett. Other wrestlers that were walking by started to notice the tense situation.
"Everything cool here, fella?" Sheamus asked Wade as he walked by catching the tail end of the conversation.
"Everything is fine, Big Red. Now, move it along." Dean barked as he pulled both of the women out of the way. Olivia and Robin clasped arms as the situation seemed to escalate pretty quickly. Before either of them realized it, Seth punched Wade in the face and they were fighting on the floor. Never wanting to feel left out of a fight, Dean punched Sheamus to keep him from getting involved and they were soon rolling around on the floor before a group of wrestlers and security guards broke the whole thing up.
"Come on, break it up." Roman Reigns came to the front of the crowd to grab Rollins and Ambrose like the big brother that he was to them. After the other wrestlers managed to pull Wade and Sheamus off to another area, Roman wrapped his arms around his brothers with a slight smirk on his face. "You crazy assholes love a good fight, don't you?"
Seth went over and draped his arm around Olivia in an attempt to apologize for the fight. He gave her another gentle kiss on the forehead and they walked down the hallway.
"Sorry about that, Liv." He checked his nose to see if it was bleeding as he packed up his stuff in the locker room alongside Dean.
"Fuck that, Rollins. That prick got what he deserved!" Dean shouted erratically accidentally scaring and arousing Robin at the same time.
"It's ok, Seth. Are you alright?" Olivia cupped Seth's face with her hand and examined his face.
"I'm fine, baby." He smiled at her concern for him and kissed her hand.
The four of them made their way to the arena door where the limo was waiting for them. On the way out, Robin caught a glimpse of Renee Young talking to one of the guys on the production staff. She squeezed Dean's waist extra tight and stopped to run her fingers through his messy hair before planting a kiss on him that almost made him blush.
"Whoa, what was that for, doll?!" Dean pulled her in close as if he were going to rip her clothes off right then and there.
"You're just so damn sexy. I couldn't help myself." She said with a sly smirk as her eyes slid to Renee in the corner. Dean followed her glance to Renee and laughed to himself.
"Easy there, tiger. I'm yours for the night." He winked captivating her with his sparkling blue eyes.
"Oh, I know. I just want to make sure she knows that you're mine…for the night." Robin winked back at Dean before blowing a kiss and waving goodbye to Renee Young. She sauntered out of the arena ahead of Dean leaving him speechless. He rubbed his chin as he followed after her knowing Pennsylvania had just become his new favorite vacation spot.
