Well here is the second chapter! please review and let me know what you think!!
Thanx!
1 week later:
Taylor stood there in the front of her apartment door. She just arrived to the apartment complex that belonged to the OVW. All the Trainees where given residency there. She wasn't sure if she should knock or not. Her roommate had already been training for a month. Taylor knocked on the door.
A few moments later the door opened and a beautiful brunette stood in front of her.
"Hey you must be Taylor!" She smiled and opened the door wider. The apartment was small but very fun. Ryan obviously had good taste in décor. The living room was alive with bright greens and orange with hints of red.
"Well this is your new home away from home!" Ryan said as she lead Taylor farther into the living room. "I hope you don't mind but I had all of your stuff put in your room."
"Oh that's great! Thanks." Taylor smile rather awkwardly. She wasn't quite sure what to do. She wanted to go and get her room together, but she didn't want to be rude and just blow Ryan off.
"Well I'm sure you want to get settled in. My rooms on the left of the bathroom and yours is on the right side." She said as if reading Taylor's mind.
"Yeah I'd rather get it done and over with." Taylor laughed.
"Oh before you go I was wondering if you were interested in going to the taping tonight? Everyone's gonna be there and I'm sure you want to meet some people before you get started tomorrow." Ryan added as Taylor headed to her room.
"Yeah that would be great."
"Cool. We'll leave here around 5:30."

Taylor made sure to dress up for the event, but she also made sure that she was comfortable. She chose a simple pair if low ride hip huggers with black heel boots and a OVW tank top that was black with gold lettering. The shirt had been a gift from Ryan as a welcome to the gang offering. Taylor could only hope that everyone else would be just as welcoming.
The gym was full when the girls walked through the doors. And the load noise of men all around them was overpowering at first compared to the quiet outside. Taylor tried to take everything in but it was just do much to digest at once.
"Kind of overwhelming huh?" Ryan laughed at the sudden nervous look on Taylor's face.
"Just a little."
"Don't worry you'll get used to it. Just wait until its your first time performing." Ryan laughed.
"I cant wait." Taylor said sarcastically. She was really petrified of the thought of going out and being in the ring.
"Hey Ryan! Over here!" Taylor heard a mans voice call from in front of the ring. Ryan grabbed Taylor's arm and pulled her through the crowd. The man was tall and handsome for the most part. He had short dark brown hair and brown eyes and talk about muscles. He was definitely with the wrestling group.
"Randy this is Taylor, my new roommate that I was telling you about."
"Nice to meet you." Taylor stuck out her hand and shook Randy's.
"You to." He smiled. He had a good smile.
" Well. Since we're here we should probably save our seats." Ryan plopped down in her chair and patted the seat next to her. Taylor sat down and the lights started to go dim. All of a sudden Taylor felt breathing on her neck and noticed someone leaning in between her and Ryan.
"Well well. Look what we have here. Fresh meat. So is this the new girl we all got the big lecture on?" A man with bleach blonde hair that hug in his eyes practically drooled on Taylor's shoulder. She raised her eyebrows in both confusion and disgust. What in the hell was this guy talking about? Why would they talk to the whole group about her?
"What do you mean by lecture?" Taylor looked from the new mystery man to Ryan and then back again.
"Ryan didn't tell you?" The blonde looked amused.
""Tell me what?" Taylor felt panicky.
"That we all got a warning not to get in your way and that you're a number one priority for the company. They want you bad up on the big top. After all you are the famous Taylor Quinn. Bikini model turned diva. Hello you were on the cover of sports illustrated swimsuit edition! Everyone knows who you are!" The man said. Taylor blushed. It was true that she was all of those things that he had said but she never thought of herself as famous. She was just a girl who worked hard to get where she wanted to go.
"Jesus Todd cant you just leave her alone. Don't you think the transition here is hard enough without you breathing down her neck. Give her some space and let her enjoy her first night." Randy snapped at the blonde.
"Fine. What ever you say captain." Todd said sarcastically and sat back in his seat.
"Don't listen to him. Some people just get a little uptight when people like us practically have a guaranteed spot on the roster." Ryan whispered to Taylor.
Taylor didn't quite know what to think about what just happened. She didn't want to be treated different from everyone else. No one had said anything to her about having a guaranteed spot.
"I guess there's a lot I need to catch up on." Taylor replied.
"More than you want to know." Randy laughed.
"I don't like the sounds of that." Taylor looked at him nervously.
"Well just because some of us are practically guaranteed spots on the roster it means we have to train twice as hard as everyone else and lets just say things can get pretty intense around here." He winked.
"Great." Taylor sighed and turned her attention back to the center of the room where a short chubby man was entering the ring.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Let's get the show on the road and get the matches started!" He yelled into the microphone. The gym filled with cheers.
"First up we have the Prototype and the Crusher!"
Loud hip hop music filled the gym and a man came running out to the ring dressed in nothing but jean shorts and sneakers and a Boston baseball cap. Taylor's breath caught in her throat. She this pull to him. He was gorgeous! Muscles and ripped abs. He looked so serious at he stepped through the ropes and stood in the center of the ring with his hands held high. Next to her both Ryan and Randy were cheering him on.
"Let's go John!" Ryan yelled over all the noise. He looked over and waved to them. Then he looked over at Taylor and stopped for a moment and then smiled. Her heart stopped. He had the best smile she had ever seen. She smiled back.
After intensely watch the match between the two men that had Taylor biting her fingers and her heart rate three times the normal speed, it finally ended with John winning with a tap out.
"Come on. We'll go introduce you to more people." Ryan stood up.
"Sure." Taylor nodded even though her eyes were still focused on the man that took her breath away as he left the gym.

John walked beck to the locker room on a cloud. Who was that girl sitting next to Randy and Ryan? Was that really Taylor Quinn? She looked more beautiful in person. He was definitely going to have to make a move.
"Dude! Did you see her?!" John's friend Kyle said as John walked through the locker room door.
"Huh?" John snapped away from his thoughts.
"Taylor Quinn! She was sitting in the front row next to Ryan!" Kyle laughed.
"Yeah I saw her. How could you not see her." John laughed.
"True. Some of the other girls have a bet going about how long they think she's gonna last. You going to get in on it?" Kyle asked as John crossed the room and opened his locker.
"Nah. I think she's gonna stick around." John answered. He grabbed a clean t-shirt and pulled it over his head.
"What makes you think that?"
"Who knows. Maybe she'll have a lot to stick around for." John laughed as he walked back out the door.

"Hey Orton! You shaking in your boots yet?"
Taylor turned and saw John walking towards them. He was still in his jean shorts and sneakers but had put on a white t-shirt that showed off his nice tan muscular arms.
"Oh yeah. Real scared." Randy laughed.
"Now now boys. We all need to play nice." Ryan played into the conversation. "John. This is my new room mate Taylor Quinn."
"Hi." John smiled and stuck out his hand.
"Hey." Taylor smiled back and shook his hand.
"Man you look even better in person." John laughed.
Taylor blushed. It wasn't the first time she had heard those words out of a mans mouth. But for some reason hearing them from him felt different.
"Jeez John. Give the poor girl a chance to breath." An older man with dark black hair laughed as he stepped into the group.
"Hey Conner. What's up?" John laughed.
"nothing. Just thought I'd stop by and introduce myself to Taylor here since we're gonna be working together and everything." Conner looked over at Taylor with a smirk that rubbed her the wrong way.
"What do you mean by working together?" Ryan asked with a worried look.
"Well, I'm Taylor's new trainer."
All of a sudden Taylor's cell phone began to ring. She pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the caller ID.
"Sorry, I have to take this." Taylor said and turned to walk away.
"Taylor." Conner grabbed her wrist and stopped her. "Meet me at the gym. 5:30am sharp. Don't be late."
"No problem." She pulled her wrist free and walked away.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey daddy. What's up?" Taylor answered her cell.
"Nothing much sweetie. I just wanted to let you now your mothers on a roll again and don't take anything she says to heart if she calls you."
"What's the problem this time?" Taylor sighed. Her mother was anything but a mother to her. She was always gone when she was a little girl. Now as an adult Taylor couldn't seem to get away. Every time she took on a new project or job her mother was there to judge her. She called her a tramp, slut, and whore for modeling and competing. She could only guess what she had to say about her now.
"well, she's basically ranting about the usual. I just don't want you to let her ruin this for you."
"I know Daddy. I wont let it happen. I'm just going to do what I want and make it work. You'll see. Everything will be great."
"I believe in you baby girl. don't you forget it."
"I wont. Love you."
"love you to."
Taylor hug up the phone and took a deep breath. She was already worried. She could imagine what she had to say this time.
"hey. You okay?"
Taylor turned and saw Ryan walking towards her.
"Yeah I'm fine. Where's the guys?"
"Finishing the show. I thought we could head back. You have a really early start tomorrow and with Conner as your trainer your going to need all the rest you can get." Ryan laughed.
"Great. I cant wait." Taylor sighed. Together the girls headed back to their apartment.
How will Taylor's first day go? Will John make his move or will someone try and beat him to the punch? Please Review and let me know what you think!!
