Hey guys! Thanks to the one person who gave me a review c: It's much appreciated! After a lot of lazy days I finally decided to write another chapter! I would agree that this is not some of my better work but I had the idea so I had to write it out! Please review, thanks!
Dani woke up to a blue sky patched with fluffy white clouds and rays of sunlight filtering in through her window. She sighed and stretched slowly, wincing as she moved her wrist. She swung her legs out of bed and walked to the bathroom groggily for a shower. She turned the handles on the bath tub and smiled as the warm water flowed down onto her bare body.
After her shower she quickly got dressed in shorts, a t-shirt and tennis shoes. She was ready for the brutal training that was ahead of her today. She ate a quick and light breakfast on her way to the gym, which consisted of some orange juice and a blueberry muffin. When she got out of her black Jeep commander she saw a few if the other 'apprentice' divas walking into the gym as well.
Dani slipped on a pair of dark aviator sunglasses and tied her hair up in a ponytail before grabbing her gym bag and walking into the gym. She walked to the front counter first and told her that she was here for the WWE divas training day. The lady at the counter looked to her disbelievingly and twitched her eyebrow upward.
"ID please?" The lady asked looking down at a piece of paper with the superstars and divas names on it. Dani pulled out her wallet from her bag and shook her head in annoyance "Will you please show me to the others now?" She asked slipping her wallet back into her bag.
The small, but fit lady nodded slowly with an embarrassed look in her eye. She walked through a door on the far wall of the large gym and Dani followed reluctantly. The door opened up to a large room used for personal training. There were separate rooms along the wall and Dani's eyes shifted to the other members of the WWE.
There were to be ten people at the training including herself, but she only saw eight. She sighed scanning the room for Mike or Cody and settled on her boyfriend. She sighed when she realized that Mike wasn't here yet and walked to Cody's side instinctively.
Cody gave a warm smile and a tender kiss on the cheek in greeting as Dani walked to his side. Dani gave him a quick hug and smiled. Cody looked down to notice Dani's taped wrist and his eyes widened "What in the world happened to you?" He asked.
Dani sighed and lifted her wrist looking at the bandaging "Oh this? I ran into someone last night and fell funnily." She said leaving out the part where the divas in the locker room literally attacked her.
"Ran into you as hit you purposefully or accidently?" Cody asked for clarification, a fire burning in his eyes.
"Accidently, of course!" Dani reassured him by leaning her head against his shoulder. She watched as the other divas mingled with the superstars hoping to get on their good sides and to even flirt with them a bit. Another diva walked in and went straight to Justin Gabriel, who was talking to a few other girls. Just then, Mike walked into the room and set his bag down with a deep exhale.
"Alright, is everyone here now?" Sheamus asked crossing his arms over his chest and picking up a top hat filled with the five divas names. He wiggled it slightly in his hand to mix the names a bit and nodded.
"Alright then, we'll start with Wade; pick a name from the hat." Sheamus said holding out the black hat to the English-man. Wade nodded with a smug smirk playing on his lips as he drew one of the folded papers.
"Jessica Bove." He said turning toward the divas. A black haired girl with curious, smoky blue eyes stepped forward.
"That's me." She said dipping her head to Wade graciously.
Justin Gabriel stepped up next drawing a name and reading it aloud "Sasha Millard." He said looking to one of the girls that he'd been talking with. He smiled at her and stepped back to his original place. Mike stepped forward and drew a name, his eyes scanning over the divas before reading it aloud.
"Danielle Nemeth." Mike said his eyes resting on Dani. He gave a playful smirk and stepped back to his position.
Soon enough, all the names had been picked and the superstars and apprentice divas walked to their training rooms. Dani and Mike had room five, which was towards the back of the gym. They'd picked up their things and began the trek to their training room.
"So, is your arm feeling any better?" Mike asked motioning down at Dani's taped wrist.
Dani raised her wrist and nodded slowly "Yeah, I guess you could say that." She said matter-of-factly. There was a long silence until they got to their door and Mike opened it for Dani like a gentleman. Dani dipped her head forward and walked into the room setting her bag down against the side wall.
Mike cracked his knuckles and rolled his shoulders back with a comfortable smirk on his face. "Alright, so I'm here to help you get into the WWE for sure and make sure that your contract is concrete." He said with a quick nod. "Basically we're going to just train for some matches and then do a bit of conditioning." He finished with a few stretches. "You may want to do a few stretched as well." He said with a cute little chuckle.
Dani smiled and sat down on the ground, Mike's chuckle replaying over in her mind. She smiled just thinking about being in the same room with him, and then snapped back to reality. What am I thinking? She asked herself with the shake of her head.
"Okay, so how about we run through a few scenarios first." Mike said standing straightly and running a hand over his slicked back hair. Dani and Mike sparred for the first twenty minutes of the training session and Dani quickly gained the upper hand. She was much quicker and agile than Mike was, so she had a good advantage to him.
Mike smirked at her progress and decided to try a few more complicated moves on her. He struck her lightly from behind and then wrapped his arms around her in a tight bear-hug. Dani struggled and tried to get him to release his arms. She struggled for a few seconds before turning to look him in the eye. Her head was pressed against his bare, chiseled chest and she breathed in the scent of his cologne.
"What are you going to do now?" Mike asked a playful smirk peeking from the corners of his mouth. Dani felt a slight attraction to the man that was bear-hugging her and she sighed quickly turning and pushing herself out of his arms. She smirked back "I'm going to do that." She said backing away from him so that she was out of his reach.
Mike had a devilish smirk playing out on his lips and he walked forward slowly. Inch-by-inch, he slowly got closer to Dani, but she backed up as well. Suddenly Dani hit a wall and sunk down against it.
Mike picked her up fireman-style and laughed "What are you going to do now?"
"I guess I'm not going to do anything." Dani said with a sigh. She wrapped her arms around his stomach so that she wouldn't slip from his strong grasp and chuckled.
After two hours of sparring and training, or playfully chasing each other around the room, each of the two were tired and ready for a break.
"You're pretty good at this." Mike said grabbing a water bottle and twisting off the cap. He took a long, much-needed drink and then exhaled contently. He leaned against the door of the training room and watched closely as Dani grabbed her own water bottle and her phone from her bag.
"Thanks, I try and have been practicing with the best." Dani replied looking down at her phone. Mike gave a suppressed laugh and sunk down against the wall so that he was sitting on the ground. There was a text message on Dani's phone from Cody so she checked it with a yawn.
Hey babe, how's it going with Mr. Awesome? –Cody
It's actually going quite… Awesome… ;) –Dani
That's good, can't wait to see you again! –Cody
"Who's that?" Mike asked curiously standing up and taking the phone from Dani. He smirked and held it above his head as Dani tried clawing his arm for the iPhone back.
Dani growled with good-intentions and literally began to climb up Mike's body to get to her phone. "It's just my friend!" Dani said with a sigh as she slid back down onto the floor in a failed attempt.
"A friend, who happens to be a boy?" Mike asked sarcastically beginning to read her conversation. "So you've got the hots for 'Mr. Dashing' as the divas call him?" Mike asked with a smirk.
"Maybe…" Dani replied taking her phone back and replying to Cody
Mike took my phone, sorry for not replying! Love you 3 –Dani
But did she really love him? Was the question Dani asked herself as she looked at Mike from across the room. She could still feel Mike's chest on her finger tips and his strong arms wrapped around her shoulders. She didn't know what she was feeling but she certainly knew that this was not the time, nor the place to be thinking about this.
