Well, I know that people have been waiting for this for a while now, and I told ya'll I'd update my fanfics, so here's Chapter 3 of Misunderstood!
Chapter 3
Flashback- Melina's POV
Okay, so it was a Monday just like any other Monday back then, me and Victoria had lost yet ANOTHER match to Candice and Mickie, which everybody saw coming. So me and Victoria were walking backstage getting a few compliments on how good we did in the match, so that kind of cheered me up considering that we had to build up Candice, yet again. But suddenly, Mr. Mcmahon stopped me in the hall and asked me to meet him in his office in about three minutes. So I grabbed my belt off of the counter that I had it lying on while talking to Maria and walked to my dressing room to change into something more professional, plus I was sweating. So after wiping my forehead off with a towel and changing into some jeans and a white t-shirt, I walked to Mr. Mcmahon's office. I knocked on the door just to make sure that nothing was going on that I didn't want to see. He called for me so I opened the door, and guess who I see, Candice.
" Melina, thanks for coming, have a seat." He said like I had a choice of coming or not.
So I put on my best smile and sat down with the title in my lap comfortably. I looked over at Candice just to see if I could get a hint at what this meeting was about but of course, she was caking on more makeup on her face so I couldn't get a clue what this could be about. I looked back at Vince and he had his hands folded on the table and sat up a bit which meant that this was something serious. I was thinking that he could possibly be firing me, but then again, why would Candice be here? So I tried to block out those thoughts and listen to him talk.
" Okay, so I know that you're wondering why exactly I called you here, so here it goes. Melina...we're gonna have you lose the womens title to Candice."
I absoloutely could not believe it. I could not believe he had said those words in chronological order. Okay, maybe losing the title to Mickie, great, Victoria, even better, but CANDICE?
" We want this to happen at the Night of Champions, so I want you two to do the best that you can possibly do, and make this fued work, get the fans really involved. Of course...I'm not worried about YOU Candice, but Melina, I want you to step it up, take this whole thing to another level."
I was seriously thinking "what the hell?!" ME step it up? If anybody should have to "step it up" it should be the tramp that's sitting next to me. Out of all the people that I could've lost the title to, it HAD to be her, of all the people. Me and Candice never really did like each other, it wasn't even love/hate anymore, it was just hate for each ohter. I look over next to me and Candice is looking at me with a smile on her face, I instantly knew, she planned this. I knew that there was no way that the creative team could be THAT stupid to the point where they'd give her the title before me or Mickie. My goal at that point was to figure exactly what was going on, and how she got the title shot, but at the same time, I was afraid to find out because I knew that this girl would do ANYTHING to get ahead here.
"Melina? Melina?"
I snapped out of thought and saw Mr. Mcmahon looking at me with a sort of worried/your weird expression on his face. "Yeah?"
"Are you okay? We lost you there for a minute." he said with that laugh of his following it, I hated that laugh.
"Yes, I'm fine Mr. Mcmahon, and I'll be sure to 'step it up' for ya on the Night of Champions." I had to spit out with the biggest fake smile on my face that I could give.
He gave me a thumbs up as I walked out of the office and started to talk to Candice again, I couldn't make out exactly what they were talking about in there, nor did I care...at the time. So I walk back to my dressing room and start to pack up to get ready for Melbourne, Australia, which was where our next show was going to take place due to the fact that the place in Oregon we were supposed to go to were having some huuuge weather problems. I get everything I need out of the locker room and start to walk to my car when I start to hear little laughs coming from where else, but Mr. Mcmahon's office. So in curiosity, I stop real quick and put my ear to the door and I can hear more clearly.
I could hear Mr. Mcmahon whispering something to someone, who I believe was a female, and some small giggles. I drop my little gym bag full of stuff on the ground slowly and I start to listen even harder.
" You know, you're gonna make one hell of a champion when you win at Night of Champions." I heard Mr. Mcmahon whisper in this odd, sort of sexual voice. And at that moment, I knew exactly who he was talking to, it made me want to throw up a bit, actually, no, I DID throw up a little bit in my mouth.
Curiosity struck me even more and I decided to take a peek inside to see what was going on. I pushed the door open as soft and as slight as I could, and what I saw shocked me to no end. Mr. Mcmahon was behind Canidce, not only as close as he could get, but he was groping her all over the place, and I literally mean, ALL over the place.
"Hold on, HOLD ON!"
Current Time
Melina sighs a little bit and looks at her friend who scooted back after she heard that last bit of the story. "Yes Beth?"
"Tell me you aren't going to say what I think you're gonna say next."
"Well, if you mean that Candice went down and slopped allllll on, over, and around Vince, then I won't say a word."
"UGGHH! Waay too much information Mel." said Beth with a disgusted look on her face.
"Well, you're the one who wanted to hear the story." said a chuckling Melina.
"Yeah, well, I get the point now, thanks. You tell anyone besides me about this?"
"I told John, but as usual, he just told me to stop 'hating' on Candice and just worry about my up coming matches and training."
"Damn, he never believes a word you say does he?" asked Beth in a more serious, concerned voice.
"Well, he does, but lately, we've just been growing apart. I mean, there's talk that my additude is bringing him down in the WWE rankings, and I guess that's starting to piss him off in a way." Melina said in a very sad, depressed voice.
"No, no, now don't you cry. You know that it's not your fault that he's going down in the ranks. Who said that?"
"Damn wrestling news sites..."
"Stop right there, those people are stupid, you know what's true." Beth said putting a hand on Melina's shoulder.
"But that's the thing, I don't anything anymore. Think about it, if Candice blew off Vince and got her run as women's champion, what else could be going on around here? For all I know, she could be blowing him off right now just to get me fired. Hell, she's the one that probably told him to fire me if I touched her again, even if SHE was the one who started all of it."
Beth couldn't say anything at that moment because she knew, Melina was right. Melina stood up off the couch, grabbed her gym bag that was sitting on the floor, grabbed her other things, and walked toward the door way.
"Wait, where are you going?" asked Beth before she could leave.
"Home, I'm exhausted." Melina said while she made her exit out of the locker room with Beth on the couch concerned for her.
Melina pulled her iPod out of her bag, turned it on, and started to listen to "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne. She didn't know what it was, but something about that song always calmed her down in some odd way, even if it was meant to be some what of a sad song. She mouthed the words until she got to the door leading to the parking lot, but she didn't open it. Even though her iPod was loud, she could still hear someone yelling her name behind her. She rolled her eyes and looked behind her to see John Cena, with no shirt on (nothing new), approaching her all sweaty, she hated whenever he'd do that in the diva's lockeroom. Finally he got to her and took a couple of breaths before he started talking again.
"Hey, you leaving?" he asked still taking deep breaths.
"Well, I have a bag, my iPod screaming in my ear, and I'm going toward my car, where else would I be going, to Denny's?" she asked with a little bit of humor so that it didn't sound as bitchy as it would've. Thank god John started laughing, she didn't want two people on her badside.
"Nice one, I love Denny's."
"Typical men, always thinking of food, chicks, and muscles," thought Melina to herself almost laughing a little, but then she still noticed that John was still in front of her. "Oh, I'm sorry, blanked out there. You wanted something, right?"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You have Maria's phone number right?" he asked wiping a little sweat off his forehead.
"Umm, yeah, it's somewhere stored in my phone, let me see if I can find it." Melina answered pulling her headphones out of her ear and dropping her gym bag to the floor, but quickly remembered that it wasn't in there. "Shit, sorry, I left my phone in the car, could you wait here for a second?"
"Sure, no prob, I'm signing autographs after so I'm not going anywhere."
"Cool, I'll be right back." Melina said pushing the door to the outside, pleasantly surprised that it was quite warm outside.
She turned the corner to the side of the arena where she had parked while looking through her bag to find her car keys, which she did when she almost dropped her mascara into a hole in the ground. Luckily she caught it, grabbed her keys, and looked up. She had to stop and look again, she could not believe what she was seeing. There he was, her own boyfriend, on her car talking...to Candice Michelle. Melina noticed how lovey dovey they seemed around each other and started to feel that Latin spitfire come back out, but she calmed herself down and just walked toward her car, wanting to make it known that she was coming, just to see their reaction so she'd know exactly what they were talking about. She pushed the unlock button on her little portable car thing that she'd gotten a couple of days ago and laughed sneakily when she saw John jump and smile when he saw her. He was still smiling when she walked up to her car, looked at him, and then looked at her putting on the fakest smile she could.
"Oh my god! Hi guys, what are you up to?" Melina asked in the fakest voice that she could possibly put on.
"Baby! Hey! You know, we were just talkin..."
"About what?" Melina asked not even letting him finish his sentence, and then looking at Candice who was just observing for a moment.
"Um, yeah, I think I hear someone calling me, John, I'll see you later." she said with a seductive, yet secret smile, which also made John smile.
When Candice was away, Melina hit John in the head and he instantly grabbed his head and started rubbing it.
"DAMN! What the hell was that for?" he asked rubbing his head even harder realizing that she infact had been going to the gym.
"You know what the fuck that was for, are you cheating on me?" Melina asked ready to strike again.
"What, baby..."
"Don't call me baby, that's convincing me even more that you are." Melina asked really ready to hit him again.
John sighed, stopped rubbing his head, and grabbed Melina by her hands. "Look ba...Mel, I'm not cheating on you, you know that."
"Then what the hell was that all about?" Melina asked almost wanting to pull away from him, but she loved the way his hands were so big and strong, yet soft and comforting at the same time.
"Me and Candice? That was just her talking to me about a storyline she had in mind involving me and her."
Melina rolled her eyes and chuckled a little bit. "John, do you really expect me to believe that?"
"Yes because it's true. Mel, look, you know that I wouldn't do that to you, I love you too much. Plus, even if I was cheating on you, why would it be with Candice? Everyone knows she's been around with everyone in the lockerooms." John said, with Melina almost convinced he wasn't lying. But something in the back of her mind was still thinking that something was going on. "So what's up? Are we cool again?" he asked hopefully.
"Well, I gotta think about it more, but you're cool, FOR NOW! I swear to god John, I find out anything's going on...well, let's just say I'm not afraid to lose this job anymore." Melina said opening her car door, grabbing her phone, pecking John on the cheek, and walking off to give Cena Maria's number with the thoughts of John cheating on her with Candice still in her mind. She hadn't realized at first, put Melina had actually starting to shead a tiny tear in her right eye while she was talking to John.
Well, hope you guys enjoy reading this. :) By the way, to avoid confusion, the other John is Johnny Nitro, his real name is John Hennigan, so no, Melina's not talking to Cena the whole time. Reviews would help, and again, thanks to the people who have already read/reviewed :)
