I'll leave the AN for the end and let the chapter speak for itself. Enjoy
"I mean seriously, who cheats onthat?"
Eva Marie glanced up from her Twitter feed just as Randy passed through the aisle of the first class plane they were currently on.
"He's one of the biggest Superstars in the WWE and she cheats on him with Jericho. He's hot and all, but it's Randy Orton."
"She's not even that pretty if you ask me. How the hell did she mange to back him and Chris?"
Eva tried to tune her out, but her mouth was going a mile a minute. Now she was getting annoyed. It was like she had developed a mini obsession with the photographer's relationship "Jealous much?" Eva asked
"Not in the least. I could totally have either or if I wanted."
Eva let out a snort. It was no secret that the Diva had already earned a reputation as a notorious flirt in a matter of weeks, shamelessly flirting with even the married Superstars. She doubted that any of them would give her so much as a polite hello without her thinking they wahavi her. She decided to put her earbuds in, hoping she would catch the hint and shut up.
She didn't
This was going to be a long ass flight.
Yelena felt like pure, grade A shit. She had never been so hung over in her life. She woke up and realized that she had slept in her clothes. She laughed at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her hair looked like a bird's nest and her makeup was all over the place. She stripped out of her cut out dress and fishnet stockings that she didn't remember owning.
She shook her head. Rosa had to be behind that.
She popped a few Aleve for her splitting headache before hopping into the shower.
It didn't make her feel any better. While she was in there, she tried to pull memories of last night out of her hammering head. She couldn't remember anything. It was all a blur. It was like someone had taken an eraser to her brain and she couldn't make out the remaining impressions.
She didn't force it. Her head hurt too much. She got dressed. She had to check out in the next hour and she and Rosa were going to grab breakfast before their flight.
Surprisingly, Rosa was already waiting in the lobby.
"How did you make it down here before me?" Yelena asked
"I woke up early and went to the gym." she said, handing her a bag from Starbucks "How much did you drink last night?"
"For once, more than you did. I can't remember shit." she said as they went to the front desk to check out
"So... I'm guessing you don't remember a taking shot out of Alicia's boobs?"
Yelena turned to the Latina, her eyes wide in horror "No!"
Rosa laughed, pulling out her phone "I think I took a picture."
Randy wanted to know what the hell was everyone's problem was.
He walked the busy halls of the arena, trying to figure out why everyone was watching him. Had he screwed up something? He couldn't think of anything negative he'd done lately.
He pushed open the locker room door and greeted everyone. As he was pulling out his gear for the night, someone he never expected approached him
"Hey man." Johnny Curtis, better known as Fandango greeted
Randy nodded in greeting and turned back to gathering his things, but noticed that the rookie was still lingering "Can I help you with something?" he asked
Fandango, leaned against the lockers "No, I actually wanted to let you in on something."
Randy raised an eyebrow. He didn't really know the guy, so he was a bit curious as to what he was going to tell him "I'm listening."
The rookie scratched the back of his neck "Your uh... Your girlfriend, she stayed behind in the last city?"
"Yeah..." Randy said, motioning for him to continue
"She went out with Rosa. She got pretty wasted..." he dragged
"Spit it out Curtis." Randy said flatly. He was slowly going into defense mood. What the hell was going on? Yelena didn't know Fandango personally as far as he knew so what was this about?
"There's a rumor going around that she was being pretty friendly with Jericho."
Randy was about to open his mouth to deny it, shut it down completely, but something stopped him in his tracks and he thought deeply about it. Yelena didn't really know Chris. As a matter of fact, she wasn't his biggest fan as far as he could tell and Chris... Chris was Chris.
But he always seemed too damn interested in his relationship.
"Look Orton, I'm telling you this because someone has to have the balls to do it.
Randy sat down, palming his face as the gears turned in his head, trying solve the equation, but there were so many missing variables. And in the back of mind, he was pissed off.
"Thanks for telling me. I appreciate that."
"No problem." Fandango said, leaving the Viper to his own devices
The harder he thought, the more pissed he became. He wanted to choke the shit out of Chris, whether the rumor was true or not. Lucky for the the Fozzy singer, he was nowhere to be found.
Good. That gave him enough time to gather himself before he talked the person that mattered.
Yelena.
Yelena and Rosa dropped their things off in their hotel rooms before going to the arena. Randy wasn't there, so she assumed he was already at the arena so she sent him a text, letting him know she was on her way.
She didn't get a reply and they arrived at the arena, going their separate ways, Rosa to the Divas Locker Room, Yelena to her station. She was surprise to see Randy waiting for her
"Hey." she said, setting her bags down to hug him
He wrapped his arms around her
"How was the interview?" she asked
"Its was okay. You look tired. Long night last night?" he asked casually
"Yeah, and I'm paying for it."
"Hmmm." he nodded, staring down at his shoes as he leaned against the wall "So... I've been hearing things." he started
"Things like what?" she asked, confused
"About you." he said simply
She arched an eyebrow "About me? "
"About you and Chris, actually." he said, folding his arms across his chest
Yelena's heart stopped. No "What?" she croaked
"People are saying that you were being all too friendly with him last night."
As if like a message from god, images of her kissing someone flashed on her mind. Oh god. What had she done?
Randy said nothing, watching her
"I..." she started "Randy... I"
"I'm trying my hardest not to go find him. Its not going to be pretty if I do, I swear. I'm trying to be rational about it and talk to you first before I beat the shit out of him. What. The hell. Is going on Yelena?" he demanded
"We were drunk." she blurted out
Randy's blue eyes screwed shut and she saw the vein on the side of his neck pulse "So what you're telling me is you kissed him."
"No... He kissed me." she half lied, her fingers finding the sunflower pendant around her neck, twisting it nervously
She was digging herself in into a hole that was slowly turning into a pit of no return.
Anger flashed across his face "That's all I needed to know." he said, pushing off of the wall
"Randy please!" she cried, grabbing his arm "Its okay. Chris was drunk and being a douche, I handled him. Don't do this. You can't afford to get in any more trouble." she said, talking him down
"I don't give a fuck. He disrespected you. And he waited until I wasn't around to do it. I'm going to fucking kill him." he said, continuing on his warpath to the Locker Room.
She moved in front if him, pushing against his chest to stop him "Please Randy. I can't let you get suspended. Not over me. He's not worth it."
Tears were gathering. How the hell had she been so stupid? She had screwed up. She had lied. And now Randy wanted to rip Chris to shreds. She had hoped it would never come to this. A confrontation between the two would only lead to one thing: the truth. The thing that terrified her the most
He slowed when he saw her tears
She took his face in her hands "He's not worth it. Please Randy." she begged "Please don't do this."
His blue eyes bore into hers and she felt like he could see straight through her. She hated herself for doing this. She was racked with fear. Her heart constricted in her chest and it was becoming harder to breathe. What had she gotten herself into?
The tense set of his shoulders visibly slumped and he sighed heavily "Fine."
Yelena huffed in relief, wrapping her arms around him once more "Thank you."
Randy did the same, placing his chin on top of her head, in deep thought. Something wasn't right here. And he'd be damned if he was just going to let it go that easily.
The tension between them was high for the next few days.
Randy was distant although Yelena could tell that he was trying to act as normal as possible. He was trying so hard, but a small part of her knew that it was no use
Things would never go back to normal. Things would never be the same again.
She avoid Chris as usual for fear of killing him on the spot. Because of the bullshit he pulled while she was drunk off her ass, people were whispering and she felt like shit knowing that Randy had to deal with it everywhere he turned. The gossip was wounding his pride and there was nothing she could do to lessen the blow.
Lucky for Chris, he was touring with the Smackdown roster, which gave Yelena a sense of peace. She hoped that this mess would have blown over in Jericho's absence and it would be a thing of the past by the time the went on the over seas tour and the two brands blended together for two weeks.
So she kept her head down and her mind on her work, which seemed to be piling up with neglect. Of course her mind strayed to one thing that she wanted to know: Who the hell had started the rumor that seemed to have spread like wild fire? She couldn't think of anyone who had it out for her other than Chris himself, but she knew he wasn't that bold.
But them again, she swore that she would put nothing past him.
She was packing up her things when the senior adviser of the photography department, George, approached her and gave her the absolute worse news she didn't need right now. She was to fly out to Ohio last minute and do the Total Divas shoot early since majority of the casted Divas currently at the Smackdown taping and Steph wanted it done before the European tour.
She wanted to scream. If she had to fly out there, there would be no need for her to return and do the rest of the shows for the rest the week.
Which meant she would be stuck with the Smackdown roster until they went over seas.
Just her damn luck.
She wasn't looking forward to telling Randy that she would be anywhere around Chris right now. So much for letting the situation blow over.
She waited until after the show to tell Randy and the annoyance was clear as day on his face.
"Should I have to worried?" he asked as he watched her pack her things from the bedroom door on his bus
"What is there to be worried about?" she asked. She already knew where this was going
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about Yelena. Should I have to worry about Jericho trying to shove his tongue down your throat while I'm not around?"
"Randy, seriously? This shit again?" she asked, rolling her eyes. Why couldn't he just let it go? She sure as hell wanted to.
"Because shit isn't adding up." Randy said lowly
Yelena froze before dropping the shirt she was folding into her suitcase, turning to him "What do mean?"
"What I mean is do I have to constantly think about him trying anything or you liking it?"
"Why would you even think something like that?" she asked, her face softening "I told you a thousand times that it meant nothing."
God, she had told the lie so many times,she was starting to believe it
Randy stared at her for a full minute before he dropped it "Yeah... Yeah okay." he said, turning to leave
"Randy." she called, crossing the small space to him in seconds. She pulled his arm to turn him, taking his face in between her hands, pulling his face to hers for a kiss
"Please don't make this into something its not." she told him "The only person I want is you. No one else. I love you. That means you're stuck with me. Deal with it."
He let out a light chuckle and kissed her again "Lucky me." he joked half heartedly
She smiled and swatted his chest before going back to packing.
When she was finished, he helped her pile her bags into the trunk of Rosa's car. Rosa would be the one taking her to the airport since RAW was moving on to the next city tonight.
She wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his neck. This was the part she dreaded most, leaving him
"I love you." she muttered into he crook of his neck
"I love you too." he told her
She sighed in relief, hearing those four words and stood on her tip toes to press her lips to his. This wouldn't be as horrible as she thought. Sure she would be away from him, but at least she would be able to keep an eye on Chris instead of worrying about Randy.
"I'll see you next week." she told him as she got in the waiting car, trying not to feel worried
Randy watched them pull off before climbing the stairs of his bus, feeling her absence immediately. Of course she always seemed to leave a few things behind. A book she was reading on the nightstand, a forgotten earring in the bathroom. He smirked when he saw a scrap of orange lace peeking out from under the bed. Sure he hated to see her leave, but reuniting was always the fun part.
Yelena drew in a deep steady breathe. She had been standing outside the arena's back doors for ten minutes now, trying to gather her courage to go in.
The next few days would be hell being too close for comfort to Chris. She never knew if he would have a ballsy moment and do something stupid or jeep his distance. The next few days could make or break her and she was honestly afraid.
"Man up." she said out loud to herself "Don't be a coward."
She hadn't realized just how long she had been standing there until someone spoke behind her, making her jump
"Why are you standing out here in the cold?" Wade asked, adjusting his bad on his shoulder
"No reason." she told him, shaking her head to clear her thoughts
Wade shrugged, opening the door and gestured for her to go in first
Looks like she didn't have much a choice now. She forced her feet to go forward, crossing the threshold, holding her breath.
She chatted with the Englishman before Wade waved a goodbye as he headed to the locker room and she was alone
She pulled her hat down further over her eyes. She could do this. She could get through the next few days without running into Chris if she was careful enough. If she ran into him, so what? She would continue ignoring him like nothing had ever happened. As long as she steered clear of him, hopefully he would do the same.
...
Thursday
On the day of the Total Divas photo shoot, Yelena walked into the building the event would be held, feeling lighter than ever. Avoiding Chris had been easier than she thought, considering he was booked with numerous appearances and signings the past couple of days. Now all she had to do is get through tomorrow and they would be off to Europe and she'd be back in Randy's arms. She laughed at how she missed him so much already and it had only been three days. Thank god Rosa would arrive tomorrow and they would be flying to Europe together.
She dropped her things at her station and shrugged out of her coat, noticing a beautiful glass vase filled with sunflowers. A little white envelope was attached to the neck of the vase to a yellow bow with her name on it
She couldn't help the grin forming on her face. Apparently she wasn't the only one missing their significant other after three days.
Inhaling the sweet scent of the flowers, she plucked the envelope off the bow and opened it.
I'll be seeing you soon
"Awww those are pretty!" Brie Bella said, appearing at her side with her sister Nikki and Nattie
"They are. Who are they from?" Nattie asked, leaning down to get a whiff.
"Like you don't already know the answer to that" Nikki smirked "They're from her boo."
"That's unique. Usually guys just keep it simple with roses, but I love how he switched it up." Brie said "I love sunflowers."
"We know, you hippie." Nikki said, rolling her eyes
"I do too. Sunflowers are my favorite." Yelena told her
"Gosh. Randy sent you flowers just because. I can't even get TJ to rub my feet." Nattie joked
"Yeah Randy knows how to spoil his girl." Nikki said in approval "Did she show you the necklace he bought her for Christmas?"
The two Divas shook their heads
"Show them!" Nikki insisted
Yelena brushed her hair back with her hand, fixing the little sunflower pendant so it was in the center of her neck
"That's so cute!" Brie said
"It's pretty." Nattie said, touching the pendant lightly with her finger
"Try pretty expensive. It cost him over five grand." Nikki boasted
Yelena raised an eyebrow "How do you know all this?"
"Randy asked John if he knew a guy that could have it costume made. John told me about it." Nikki shrugged
Wow. Randy hadn't told her that. She inwardly beamed that he had put so much thought into and made her present so special.
"Ew, here comes the newbie." Nikki muttered, her attention turned to vivid red head coming their way
The "Newbie" as Nikki called her said hey to her before turning to the Divas "They need us in hair and makeup."
"Thanks for being a good little newbie and telling us veterans we're needed." Nikki said, brushing he off
Eva rolled her eyes and walked off
"You are so mean Nichole." Brie told her sister
"What? Its just a little hazing. And besides, I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. She's sneaky " Nikki said, narrowing her eyes at Eva's retreating form "She's been out of developmental all of four seconds and she thinks she runs shit."
"She's not that bad." Nattie piped in
"Oh please Nattie. She's not that bad because she's didn't go blonde like how she was suppose to. As long as you're the only blonde, that's all that matters." Nikki dismissed "Come on. Lets go rock this photo shoot. See you later Lena." the twin waved, Brie and Nattie said goodbye as well
Yelena helped with the set up so they could start.
After seven hours, they wrapped things up. Lena turned down their offer do go out for drinks. She was tired and all she wanted to do was turn in early for the night. Packing up her things and grabbing her vase of flowers, she said her goodbyes to the ladies and went back to the hotel. When she was showered and in bed for the night, she send Randy a text
Thank you
XYelena
For?
XRandy
Yelena typed a quick reply
For the flowers, I loved them.
XYelena
His response came almost instantly
... I didn't send any flowers
XRandy
What? What did he mean he didn't send any flowers?
Hmm... Well maybe they were from the crew.
XYelena
She was confused. If they would have been any other flower, she would have assumed they had been put there by a crew member as a nice gesture, but they were her favorite flowers, which is why she had assumed they were from Randy. She sent another text to ease the tension
Miss you anyway. Even if you didn't send me flowers you jerk ;-)
XYelena
Miss you too Sunshine. Love you.
XRandy
I love you too baby. Goodnight. See you soon.
XYelena
Goodnight.
XRandy
She closed out of her messages, her mind clouded with anger as she crossed the room to the dresser where the vase was housed, plucking the envelope up. She had omitted telling Randy about the card that was attached to the flowers because it all made sense now
I'll be seeing you soon
It was then she noticed that it wasn't signed. She was seeing nothing but red. Her blood boiled and in a fit of rage, she picked the glass vase up, marched over to the trashcan, stepping on the lever to make it open with her foot, and threw them away like she was trying to send them straight to hell. The sound of glass smashing to pieces rang in her ears as she tore the small card into little tiny pieces, tossing it in with the trash to join those damn flowers.
Satisfied, she crawled into bed, forcing herself to sleep.
Randy sat on a bench in the locker room, his arms crossed defensively. No one bothered him once they saw the look of agitation brewing on his face. They knew not to disturb the Viper when he was in a mood
And he sure as hell was in a mood today.
His conversation with Yelena played over and over again in his mind. Who the hell sent her the flowers. He wanted so desperately to believe that it was from the crew members, but he knew he couldn't.
He knew exactly who sent them to her and he was going to unleash hell when he saw him. Fuck the consequences. He be damned if he let Chris disrespect him
"Don't think to hard or you might hurt yourself." John said, dropping his bag on the bench beside The Viper
"Hey Cena." he muttered, palming his face tiredly
"You've been making that face since yesterday, what's up with you? John asked his best friend
Randy sighed "Yelena received flowers yesterday."
John gave him a look of confusion "Ooookaaaaay."
"They weren't from me John." Randy told him
"So who were they from?"
"She assumed that they were from her crew, but we both know that's not true
John raised an eyebrow "So who do you think they were from?"
Randy let out a sarcastic snort "I know you've heard the rumors that's been going around."
"I... Might have heard a few. You know how stories tend to get twisted." John said
"Honestly, I don't think that's the case with this one." Randy admitted
John sat down next to his best friend "What exactly are you saying?"
"Something isn't right. Nothing is adding up." Randy told him
"Have you talked to her about it?"
"She told me it was nothing. That Chris was drunk and being a dick. She claimed that she handled the situation, but I find it funny that Jericho decides he wants to stick his tongue down her throat while I'm not around and now this." he said, growing more agitated by the second. He got up and paced the tight space between the benches and the lockers "I think she's lying to me. Chris wouldn't be doing shit like this for no reason if he had nothing to fucking gain." Randy vented
"The perks of dating younger women. You never know what happened in their past until shit like this comes up. Why don't you just talk to Jericho?"
"Because John, if I see Chris's face right now, I might bash it in." Randy said testily "If I talk to someone, it definitely won't be him. Someone knows something. Maybe I'll ask Rosa. I'm sure Yelena tell her all her dirty little secrets." he said spitefully.
"You'll be better off asking someone else. Rosa lives by the Girl Code. She might be in everyone else's business, but disloyalty isn't her thing."
"Aksana?" Randy tried
"They're not really friends anymore remember?" John informed
"Then who would you suggest?" Randy asked
Phil chose at that precise moment to come into the locker room "Sup bitches." the Straight Edge Superstar greeted
Randy glanced towards John, raising an eyebrow and the Massachusetts native sent him a silent nod
Punk turned to the two, his brow knitting together in confusion at their stares "What?" he asked
"Can I ask you something?" Randy started, folding his arms across his chest
"What?" Punk asked again
"Has Yelena mentioned anything to you about Jericho?" Randy asked
Phil flinched at the mention of the Canadian "Other than what's been going on recently? No." he lied, hoping it came out smoothly and convincing. Damn Yelena for putting him in this predicament once again "Why? What's up?" he asked
"Chris sent her flowers yesterday." John informed him
"The dick. He always was hard headed." Phil muttered to himself
"I'm going to ask her one last time before I talk to him myself. And you're positive that you don't know anything? Nothing at all?" Randy asked, narrowing his eyes at the Chicago native
"Yeah man..." Phil lied once again, breaking eye contact after a few seconds as he scratched his ear
"Okay." Randy nodded in confirmation before turning back to Cena, continuing their conversation
Phil put his things away and quietly slipped from the room
"Fuck my life" he muttered to himself. All of this lying was going to come back and bite him in the ass sooner rather than later, he was sure of it.
Rosa squealed as Yelena launched herself into her arms
They were in the Biddle of the airport, but Yelena didn't care. She had missed her bestie.
"How was the shoot?" the Latina asked
"Besides Chris sending me flowers and me thinking they were from Randy? Fucking fantastic." Yelena said dryly
"Are you kidding me?" Rosa said, raising an eyebrow
"I wish I was. He's getting out of control. I swear he was the one who started the rumors." Yelena told her as they rolled their luggage to their gate
"I would be surprised. I still can't believe he pulled that shit at the club. He's a bold fucker."
"That he is." the photographer agreed
"Don't worry. I'm not going to let him corner you like that again. We're sticking together this week. If he tries anything, I'll fuck him up for you." Rosa promised
Yelena playfully put a hand over her heart "My hero." she laughed
"Anything for my best bitch."
The flight was gruesome, but when they finally touched down in the UK, they were beyond thrilled and filled with excitement. The RAW roster wouldn't be getting in until the early morning tomorrow, so Yelena didn't bother going to her own room. She would room with Rosa for the night.
Although it was a bit gloomy outside, the sun imprisoned behind the clouds, the two decided to start their London take over early, starting with their ritual of mani pedi and shopping. Yelena found a pair of Versace shoes that had to have been made by the man upstairs just for her. Rosa was in a mood that they did not have a pair in her size
"Lucky bitch." she said jealously as she watched Yelena swipe her credit card
"Where are we going tonight?" Yelena asked as they left the store
"There's this club us Divas always hit when we're here, you're going to love it. Getting shitfaced in Europe is much more fun."
They did a little sight seeing before grabbing lunch and shopping more to kill another three hours. As they were pushing the hotel's entrance doors open, they ran into Punk and AJ on their way out.
"Hey guys. Headed out?" Rosa asked
AJ smiled sheepishly "Yeah, to grab something to eat." she said, tucking a lock of sandy brown hair behind her ear, glancing up at Phil with a smile, who returned it with his signature goofy grin
None of it went unnoticed by Yelena. All she had to do was give Phil a knowing look and he mouthed "Later" to her
"Well have fun." she told them and they said goodbye
"They're cute." Rosa said when they were getting on the elevator.
"I always thought so too. They come from similar backgrounds and share the same interests, guess that's why they get along so well. I wouldn't mind seeing them together." Yelena said.
"Go get dressed. We're starting the party early."
Doing as she was told, she went to shower and pulled her outfit of choice out: a simple black long sleeve Bardot neck bodycon dress, which just so happen to match the god sent shoes she had bought earlier. She decided to only wear a little makeup, a stroke of winged eyeliner on her top lids, mascara and a deep purple lipstick
"How does this look?" Rosa asked
Yelena turned her gaze to the Diva and let out a shriek. Rosa was holding up a red bandage dress and was completely naked.
"Omigod Rosa! You cold have warned me!" Yelena laughed, holding hand up to cover the view of her best friend's nudeness
"What? We're girls here and I think I look damn good. I don't mind sharing it with the world "
"So I see." Yelena muttered, relieved when she wrapped a towel around herself
"I'm sure you look equally as sexy naked. So if you ever want to strut around in your birthday suit, I'm all for it."
Yelena snorted "Thanks you perv, but the only person I'm strutting around in my birthday suit for is Randy."
They met up with Alicia and The Bellas in the lobby and all five girls crammed into a taxi.
They arrived and Yelena slid out, tugging them bottom of her dress down. The line was pretty much wrapped around the building. Rosa went over to talk to the bouncer, who recognized her immediately, pulling her in for a hug
"Wow its pretty crowded tonight." Brie noted
"Yeah, twice as crowded as usual. They must have something special going on." Nikki said
Rosa returned "I got us in. We don't have to wait in that long ass line."
"Thank god!" Nikki huffed
Rosa linked her arm through Yelena's as they breezed past two girls trying to cut the line. One was bleach blonde, scantily clad in tight leather pants, her shirt so cut up it was hanging on by a thread, barely covering her enormous bust. The other one was a brunette with red clip-in extensions wearing a too short black strapless dress that was two sizes too small. They was arguing with the bouncer, clearly jealous the they had gotten to go in without a problem.
"How tacky." Rosa said loudly for them to hear
Yelena let out a chuckle, the two Brits giving the the evil eye
They're first order of business was of course, getting drinks. Nikki ordered a round of Jaeger Bombs, which made Yelena wince as she tossed it back. Rosa, always the party animal, ordered ever strong drink London had to offer.
Yelena turned some of them down. She already had a nice buzz going and wasn't looking to get completely wasted since they had a show tomorrow. Rosa, on the other hand, was bombed by the time they made it to the dance floor, a mix to Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" making the club go wild.
They worked up a sweat, dancing and Alicia snapped a few group selfie. She was actually having a great time. It was nice being out in a group instead of just her and Rosa. Not to mention this was her first time seeing Brie completely trashed. The more responsible twin was a drunken mess, tripping all over the place
"Is everyone having a food time!" the DJ yelled into the mic from the sky box
The club yelled on approval and the girls screamed along with them
"This is just the start ladies and gents, because we have Rock Royalty in the house tonight. Please give a nice warm London welcome to Fozzy's lead singer and front man, CHRIS JERICHO!"
And just like that, her night had turned to shit. What. The. Fuck.
The crowd went insane for him as he made is presence known
Rosa glanced at her worriedly, but she just rolled her eyes "I need fucking drink." she announced, headed to the bar
"HELLO LONDON!" Chris yelled "I'm so glad to be here in my favorite place. You all are awesome fans and, you guys know how partay!"
Yelena tried her hardest to tune him out as she ordered a strong drink. She smiled and passed the bar tender the money, climbing onto a barstool, turning it around to face the crowd
"There's nowhere else I'd rather be tonight than here. I see a few lovely ladies I wouldn't mind sharing my bed with tonight."
Every girl screamed in approval, but Yelena shot him a disgusted look when she locked eyes with him from above.
"WE LOVE YOU CHRIS!" a few groupies yelled, making Yelena want to vomit
"I love you too! Don't forget to check out my new album,Sins and Bones! THANK YOU LONDON!"
They crowd cheered him, a "Y2J" chant starting as he made his way down the stairs. Yelena's eyes never left him. That son of a bitch. Two girls met him at the bottom of the stairs. Yelena scoffed when she recognized the busty blonde and her companion. She was leaned in a little too close to talk to him and grabbed a passer by, handing him her camera. Chris stood in between them, draping an arm around both girls shoulder. The blonde boldly drew up a leg, hooking it around Chris, locking her arms around his neck for balance, smirking for the camera as the flash went off.
Yelena felt a rush of heat run through her and it wasn't from the alcohol. Slut. It was then Yelena notices that that she was wearing a "Fozzy" T-shirt. If it weren't so whorishly butchered, she would have known he was here from the start.
The brunette companion pulled a Sharpey from her purse and handed it to Chris. Yelena wasn't surprised when the little skank pulled the top of her press down lower, just enough that her nipple would be exposed and Chris signed her left boob. They thanked him before sashaying off
When they were gone, Chris turned and looked right at her before making his way through the crowd
She downed the rest of her drink, letting the burn radiate through her before getting up. She was a sitting duck if she stayed in one place for too long and after seeing him with those bimbos, she didn't want him anywhere near her.
She found Rosa and pulled her up from their table "Lets dance."
If she wasn't alone, then she wouldn't have to worry about Chris approaching her.
Or so she thought. How naive she was.
She was lost in the beat of Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" when Rosa wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close
"We have company." Rosa said in her ear, motioning with her eyes to the left
Yelena took a quick glance, her eyes instantly landing on Chris, leaning against the bar casually talking to to a guy, but he was openly watching her.
Yelena shot him a smirk as she continued to dance. Rosa caught on to what she was doing, taking her hand and twirling her so they danced back to back, matching each others movements. The strobe lights flashed as they danced, her skin turning from red, to blue, to green. She was tired of tip toeing around him when he obviously didn't give a fuck about the dumb shit he does to provoke her, so she was going to hit him where it hurt: in his pants.
Chris's eyes were glued on her. He had stopped listening to his friend as soon as she smirked at him. He watched her move her hips, hypnotized. The glow of the green lights illuminated her dark lined green eyes, making her look like every bit of the minx she was.
She was teasing him, which was a big mistake.
The song ended and they left the floor
Chris placed his glass on the bar, excusing himself before following the two to the other side of the bar
Nikki Bella was about to snap a picture of the photographer and he slipped beside her, wrapping an arm around her curvy waist and placing a kiss on her cheek just as the flash went off.
Yelena shot him a menacing glare, but reigned her anger in, remembering they were amongst company.
Nikki and Alicia thought nothing of it, now recording a dancing Brie.
"Why is it that you seem to appear out of thin air when I'm intoxicated?" she asked him
"Why is it that you think you're so damn important to me?" he shot back "I'm doing an appearance for my band. I didn't know that you were going to be here." he reached a hand out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear "And drunk is the way I prefer you."
She smacked his hand away "Don't put your filthy hands on me. Why don't you go find that groupie bitch, I'm sure she'll be all to willing to let you sign other body parts."
"Ah, so you were watching me. Don't be jealous sweetheart, she's not my type." he said, grabbing her roughly around the waist "I think we need to talk."
She shoved him away "As a matter of fact, we do. Why the hell have you been spreading those fucking rumors about us."
He kirked an eyebrow "What rumors?"
"About that night in the club. Why are you telling people we hooked up asshole." she fumed. She hated when he pulled that "I don't know what you're talking about." bullshit. It grinded her gears
He scoffed "Yelena I'm much to old to be 'hooking up' with anyone. I'm not in high school. Anything I do behind closed doors is casual."
"So you haven't told anyone?" she asked
"Not a soul." he told her
"Bullshit." she said, calling his bluff "You had every reason to. I hope you're happy because Randy caught wind of it."
"What makes you think I give a shit? I didn't tell him. Its much more fun to watch you destroy your little relationship all on your own." he smirked "He won't think twice about dumping you after he finds out you're my sloppy seconds anyway."
Her hand reacted before her brain did. The sting of the impact vibrated deep into her nerves.
A few heads turned in their direction
Chris touched his now red cheek "You bitch." he swore
Rosa swooped in right on time and made her presence known
"Problem Jericho?" she asked, sizing Chris up
Chris laughed at the Latina "What, you gonna sick your guard dog on me?" he asked
"Fuck off Chris." Rosa barked, standing in between the two
"Or what Mendes?" Chris growled
"Rosa, leave it alone, he's not worth it." Yelena told her, trying to pull her away
Yelena was worried about the stares they were getting. If someone started pulling out phones, it would be all their asses when they got to work. Rosa stared the Canadian down for a few more seconds before letting it go "You're right." she finally agreed
"Come on." Yelena said, grabbing her by the hand.
"That's right, walk away. You're learning from the best Yelena. There's a reason your fiance didn't marry your crazy ass. You're nothing but a cheap ass blow up doll."
Yelena watched in horror as Rosa picked up a random beer bottle off the bar. As if in slow motion, she turned and smashed it against Chris's skull
Everyone around them gasped as he fell to against the bar, dazed and the Latina pounced, punching and kicking
Yelena stood frozen, not knowing what to do. When she finally snapped out of it, she grabbed Rosa around her middle
"Rosa stop!" she yelled, trying to get in between them, she winced when one of them twisted her arm painfully
Her plea fell in deaf ears as she kept swinging on Chris, who was trying to restrain her as best as he could. Security finally reached them and Yelena felt someone grab ahold of her, lifting her up
"Put me the fuck down!" she yelled, clawing against the beefy man's arm. Through the madness, she noticed Rosa was being held in the same position, fighting like rabid dog to break away
Chris was being retrained also
"You fucking cunt! You'll be sorry you ever fucked with me!" he yelled, his face covered with blood from the gash on his hairline
They were carried rather roughly through the crowd and was put on the sidewalk. Yelena had to catch her footing so she wouldn't fall on her ass in her shoes
"Leave before we call the cops." the security guy warned, tossing Rosa's discarded heels in the pavement
"Asshole! These are fucking Dolce! It would take a year of your sorry ass paycheck to pay for these!"
"Leave! Before I call the cops." he repeated sternly
Rosa gave him the finger before turning to Yelena "Lets go before I fuck him up next."
They crossed the street and walked. They didn't know where they were going, but Yelena didn't care
"That was insane." she said finally
"He deserved it." Rosa muttered
Yelena knew that talking about Rosa's ex fiancé was a low blow. Leave it to Jericho to hit you where it hurt the most
They flagged a cab and rode back to the hotel in silence, now completely sober.
At the hotel, they walked into the lobby barefoot, earning them weird glances at their disheveled clothes and hair. They made it to their room and it was when the door closed that Yelena let the events play out in her brain, tears filling her eyes
"What's wrong?" Rosa asked, sitting beside her on her bed
"Everything. This is just a fucked up mess. Everyone will be talking about it. The company will hear about this by tomorrow."
Rosa smoothed down her friend's hair "So what."
"I could lose my job Rosa. You could lose your job. And Chris... There's no telling what he'll do to get back at me."
"Chris wouldn't say a thing without having a finger pointed at his bitch ass too. He's not that thick in the head."
"But-" Yelena objected
"Listen" Rosa cut in "I went a bit over the top. I didn't mean to try and bash his itty bitty brain in, but he deserved it."
Yelena let out a snort, wiping her face.
"I'd do it again if it was called for because your my best friend. You never judged me like everyone else. Yeah, I hang out with the other girls from work, but I know they talk about me when I'm not around. You're like a sister to me and I'd do anything for you chica cuz I love ya."
Yelena hugged her "I love you too Rosa. I've never had someone bust an asshole in the head for me." she joked
"Anything for my best bitch." Rosa said with a wink "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shower. I fucked up my hand on Chris's perfect teeth."
"Go ahead, you deserve it. Take all the time you need." Yelena laughed
When they were in their beds, and Rosa turned out the lights, Yelena laid in the darkness, staring at the ceiling, her mind heavy
"Rosa?" she called softly into the night
"Hmm?"
"What do you think is going to happen tomorrow?"
"I don't know. We'll cross that bridge when we get there." she said
Yelena sighed. There was a few minutes of silence before the Latina spoke again
"I wouldn't take it back for shit, don't forget that okay?"
"I won't." Yelena promised. She snuggled deep into her covers and forced her brain to shut off, dreading the next day that was to come.
There next destination was Manchester and Yelena felt the tension in the air as they walked the halls of the arena. Ever eye in the building were on the pair, whispering
As she predicted, the events of last night had spread like the plague.
"Hey!" a voice called behind them
They turned and found Nikki and Brie, running to catch up with them
"What the hell happened last night?" Brie asked
"Yeah, we heard that a fight broke out and you two and Chris were in the middle of it." Nikki said
"Chris was being a dick, so I knocked his short ass down a few pegs." Rosa told them with a shrug
"We heard you hit him over the head with a beer bottle. There's pictures of you getting tossed out on your ass outside the club."
Yelena shot Rosa a worried glance "We'll catch you guys later." Yelena told them. When they were a short distance away, she had to ask "Do you think the suits know?"
"Anyone ever tell you that you worry way to much?" Rosa half teased
"How can you be joking right now?" Yelena asked flatly. Rosa was clearly taking this situation too lightly.
"Because I know that there are consequences for every action." Rosa said simply
It did nothing to comfort her. In fact it made things worse.
As if she had been summoned, Stephanie McMahon appeared out of a door just a few feet away, Mark Summers, the head of the Divas booking, right behind her "Miss. Mendes, just the person I've been looking for. Could you step into my office for a moment, I'd like to have a word."
Yelena's heart hammered as she looked at her best friend, who was as calm as ever.
Rosa patted her on the shoulder reassuringly and followed one of the Principal Owners of the WWE back to her office.
As they were entering, no other than Chris Jericho was making an exit. Time stood still as the Fozzy singer and the Diva locked eyes in a stalemate. If looks could kill, they'd both be going to an early grave.
Yelena winced when Chris smirked at the Diva before walking away.
The office door closed and Yelena raced to catch up with him. She waited until they were on the next hall over to grab his arm, turning him around roughly
"What the hell did you do?" she hissed at him
"I told her she'd be sorry." he shot back
"She could be suspended, Chris!"
"In case you forgot, she busted me across the head with a beer bottle. The bitch is lucky I didn't have her fired!"
"You are a unbelievable. This isn't about her, this is your sick way of trying to get back at me and for what?"
"Im not doing this shit with you." he just scoffed, trying to side step her, but she blocked his way
"No! I'm so sick of this shit. This ends now! I can't fucking live like this, Chris. What is going to take to get it through your thick skull that I don't want anything to do with you?"
"You and I both know that a lie." Chris dismissed
It was annoying Yelena to no end at how calm he was "Oh my god." she laughed to herself, running frustrated hands through her hair "Its like talking to a fucking brick wall. You're so fucking delusional."
"You're delusional if you think for one second this will ever end. It won't." he said, stepping towards her so he was glowering over her "I'm going to torment you every day of every hour until I make it clear to you that no other man can have you but me."
"I'm not your property. I don't fuckingbelong to you." she ground out angrily, not backing down
"The hell if you don't.You're mine, Yelena." he growled back
"And please by all means, explain why you would think so."
Yelena's heart dropped into her stomach as her eyes snapped away from Chris's to the direction of where the voice had come from. Turning around slowly, a small gasp escaped her mouth as she came face to face with a murderously angry Randy Orton.
OMG let me start by apologizing for the long wait! I've had serious writer's block and this chapter was very difficult for me to complete. I've hit the point in this story where things are getting harder and harder to complete because I can see the finish line and I want it to be done and there is so much more events that I want to happen so I have good and bad news: Good news is the chapters are going to start getting longer. Bad news is because chapters are going to get longer, it's going to take a little bit more time for me to post them. Thank you everyone who have been with me from the very beginning! I can't wait to read your reviews for this chapter. I'm working on the next one as we speak. REVIEW!
