I've finished typing two chapters two days ago, Hows everyone? enjoy this chapter. All mistakes are mine.
AJ Lee was in the backstage with Summer Rae, a quite odd pairing, but Summer is actually one of her friends in WWE she got to know the Blonde Diva when they got assigned to the same ride every time they had to go to the next venue. It was Monday, that means RAW! AJ really doesn't care about the other matches that's on the line up for tonights show, she only cares about watching Paige against Becky Lynch. She was greeted by a lot of Superstars, but she hasn't seen Seth, Roman, and Dean she's excited to hang out with them. Paige promised her that she'll tell her closest friends all about their relationship that's why AJ didn't tell Summer or else she'll ruin her girlfriend's idea. Summer told her that they actually missed having AJ in the Main Roster especially her crazy Character, AJ laughed when she heard this. It felt great to know that all of her colleagues are missing her presence, she thought some of them hates her she's happy that she's wrong. Summer excused herself from AJ since her upcoming match with Charlotte will be up next, and the crew already called her to get ready. AJ was thinking about going into the catering she's been waiting for Paige's match for like thirty minutes now and she's hungry she can't wait any longer. She got up from her seat when Roman Reigns appeared.
"Hey, Paige wanted me to give you this." Roman handed her a burger and a bottle of water. "She's also sorry that her match will be a little late because Becky is being a pain in her ass and she ordered me to accompany you." Roman then took the chair that Summer Rae previously used. AJ nodded, she's wondering what happened to Becky? why would Paige say that she's a pain in her ass. Paige might be totally mad, she wouldn't say that kind of statement if the situation isn't serious. AJ knew Becky and Paige are close friends way before they both got signed to WWE, as far as she can remember Becky wrestled with Paige and the Irish Lass acted like a manager to Paige and Sweet Saraya. Both women knew each other very well outside and inside the ring so, why are they having a problem right now? Roman fakes a cough causing AJ to remember that she has a company and she should start a conversation with Roman.
"You're a great friend, Roman. thanks for saving me. My girlfriend forgot to feed me before we came here. I'm starving!" She giggled. AJ bite her burger thinking what to say next.. She doesn't want to bore him, she wanted his approval. She heard a lot of things about him from Paige, it's just that she's actually nervous to start a conversation. AJ didn't have a chance to get to know Roman back then because she's always in her little world. Plus, she isn't a big fan of The Shield, she hates the concept, she thought that the three men are full of themselves. 'Where is Paige when I needed her?' AJ thought.
"It's my pleasure to feed you, you're making our princess happy, you deserve the special treatment." Roman gives her a genuine smile. "And Paige yelled at me when I told her that I'll go change out of my gear first, she said, you're more important."
AJ realized that Roman is still wearing his in-ring gear, looks like he just finished his match. "Oh. I'm so sorry-"
Roman looked at her and let out a laugh as if she has two heads, she raises her eyebrow before taking another bite of her burger.
"I'm just joking, AJ, but she did yell at me. Anyway, thank you for loving Paige. I haven't seen her so happy since her past relationships its her story to tell, but really thank you. Paige changed in a better way, we can all see that. It's all because of you."
AJ was now curious about this 'past relationship' that she obviously have-not heard from her girlfriend. She can ask Roman to give her a hint, but like what he said it's not his story to tell. She won't rush or force Paige into telling her, when she's ready AJ knows she'll come around and she's going to wait no matter what it takes. Its a previous relationship which gives her the assurance that she don't need to worry, she's the current girlfriend now and she will never let go of Paige. Now and the future is all hers. Past is past.
"I love Paige so very much, Roman. She changed my whole life, when I first met her back in NXT she captured me with that smile of hers that I tried to ignore. She's the NXT Women's Champion the inaugural one, she's ruling NXT while I'm the Divas Champion. I wasn't scared she'll take my place I was scared I'll fall for her because we already have that special connection the first time we saw each other. Then, after a few months of knowing her I know it did happen. I'm completely crazy in love with her. I fall hard, you get what I'm saying?"
"You don't mind that I recorded that right?" Roman raised his phone, he then saves the audio before hearing Paige's entrance theme. AJ just nodded she's doesn't have a choice since Paige is already making her entrance plus, all the things that she said is true and she's not ashamed of it.
"Aww. She's still skipping, my pumpkin." AJ said dramatically. Roman just laughs at her as they watch the match. AJ noticed that Paige is mad and Becky is a little aggressive towards her girlfriend. Becky slapped Paige causing Paige to yell at her asking what her deal. The match goes on for ten minutes when the referee saw that Paige got a busted lip and there's already blood stains in the mat. 'What's going on?' AJ thought.
"Get up, Saraya! fight me back!" Becky Lynch then yelled. Roman and AJ looked at each other, this isn't a scripted match this is for real. AJ doesn't know what to do, she wanted to run up there and defend Paige, but she can't do that or else the WWE will assume she's back and AJ doesn't want Paige to get in more trouble. Roman and AJ continued to watch the exchange when Paige pulled Becky by the hair and slammed her to the mat. AJ saw that Paige whispered something in Becky's ear before hitting her to her body. A lot of referees came running to stop Paige they pulled her from Becky then Becky was about to jump again towards Paige. The Anti-Diva roll out of the ring before going to the other side and she went inside again, she gave Becky an 'Elbow Smash' the referees then pulled her away from Becky. It took a few minutes before they manage to get Paige into the backstage. Both women went off character during the whole thing, especially her girlfriend. AJ knew the script Becky was set to win the match, but that didn't happen considering both women wanted to kill each other.
Roman accompanied AJ to the trainer's office, where Paige is being checked with the medical. Roman and AJ waited outside, she's worried about Paige, she's confused about everything that had happened in the ring, and why did Becky call her by her real name? this is giving her a bad headache. After a few minutes, Paige walked outside as if nothing happened, she smiled at AJ and she hugged her.
"How's the lip, 'Raya?" Roman hit Paige in the shoulder to get her attention, Paige pulled back from the hug and looked at Roman. She was smiling, which is totally weird. Roman and AJ saw how mad she is when she's in the ring with Becky and now she's acting like an innocent criminal.
"I'm fine, kinda suck she hit me in the lip I can't kiss my girl right here." Paige smirked as she pointed to AJ. "Toby gave me a cream that I should put 'ya know. Kinda hurts to be honest." She shrugged noticing AJ is just staring at her. She nodded at Roman who understand what she wants and he walked away from them. Paige pulled AJ in the Women's locker room, she checks if anyone is in there luckily, they're all alone.
"What the hell happened out there, huh?"
"AJ-"
"Don't call me that." AJ warned as she stared at Paige with cold eyes. AJ is mad, she wanted to know every little detail on how that 'scene' started. She wants to know who started it first, why is Becky acting like she hates Paige for real, and why Paige acting like nothing happened.
"April, it's nothing. I was just teasing Becky it wasn't my fault that she can't take a joke," Paige walked towards her belongings she grabbed her towel and wipe her sweat. AJ knows she's lying, that's because her girlfriend can't look straight in her eyes.
"She hit you pretty hard, it doesn't look like her reason revolves in a joke, Saraya. Whatever. You can tell me when you're ready. I won't push the subject, but I'm totally upset on how you handle the situation." AJ walked towards her girlfriend and pulled her hand so, she was facing her.
"I'm so sorry if I let my temper get the best of me again, I wasn't really thinking back there. I'm not a weakling and I wanted Becky to know that if she wants a real fight I can give it to her. I snapped when I heard my first name, gave me more fuel to kill her which by the way I fail, but that elbow smash gave her a bruise so, I'm good.. I'll go take a quick shower and we can tell people about our relationship, I wanted to ask if you want to join me, but I can't risk getting us in trouble." Paige smirked, before giving AJ a smack on the lips.
AJ was outside the Women's locker room when The Bella Twins arrive, they both give her a hug and asked her if she wanted to go to the catering. AJ agreed and went back inside the locker room to tell Paige that she'll be in the catering with the twins. She's the one who chooses the table for them, AJ tap her fingers to the table as she waited for the twins as they get their snack. The Bella Twins took a seat opposite to each other, AJ looked at the twins, she enjoyed working with both of them, she remembers her last match it went well considering her team won and sharing the ring for the last time with The Bella Twins, Alicia Fox, Naomi and Paige gave her one of the memories that she will never forget and the experience that she will never dare trade for the world. A lot of people think she hates Brie and Nikki, but it's just a part of a storyline, AJ somehow wanted to change it before and she gave her own idea to spice things up, but creative turned her down. Believe it or not, she's friends with the twins, yeah they are not the closest, but still she trusts them. Being in a relationship with Paige just gives her another chance to make it up to the time that she wasted. Before, AJ only focuses, gives her hundred percent effort and time to Wrestling and meeting her loyal supporters. She doesn't have time to go out and enjoy her life outside the ring that's one of the many reasons she decided to retire and now, she'll open herself for her colleagues she'll get to know more of them outside the career path that they once shared.
"How are you? You look stunning, girl!" Nikki said, excitedly.
"Really? That's a huge compliment." AJ smirked at Nikki.
"Oh, please. There's no cameras in here, AJ. We don't hate each other, I'm being nice because that's who I am and god, you look good... totally good."
"I'm just playing around and thank you for your once in a blue moon compliment."
"I always compliment you every time we see each other. Duh."
Brie laughed at the conversation between the two women, she's enjoying the whole exchange she wishes Paige was here to witness this.
Paige is making her way to the catering, she packed all of her things the show is about to finish. She's excited to finally confess her relationship with AJ to her best friends and co-workers. She isn't thinking twice anymore, she's ready, she's prepared she isn't scared she's just happy that she's finally able to do what's right for their relationship and she can't wait to kiss, hug, hold AJs hand in public. Her phone rings she saw that Roman sent her an audio she ignored it thinking the guys are messing with her. Paige was smiling and about to turn to the right when someone pulled her and pushed her hard into the wall, she tried to get out, but she failed.
"Why the hell you blow up our match? We're scheduled to go against each other and you didn't show up!" Emma yelled, before letting go of Paige.
"You don't have to push me! What the hell is wrong with you? Is this still about me and AJ?"
"Don't bring her up! I'm here to ask you why you didn't show up?!"
"Tenille, Please. You're my best friend, I miss you so much I don't want us to brawl. I'm sorry if I didn't show up I forgot the match."
"You forgot? But you didn't forget your match opposed to Becky? Are you serious?"
"Let me make it up to you. I'm knackered, I don't want any arguments at the moment. Please. Don't you miss me?"
Emma just looks at her, Paige nodded with a sad smile before walking past Emma, but Emma holds her hand and pulled her again.
"I miss you too." She pulled Paige into a tight hug. She can't stay mad at Paige. They were like real blood sisters and she loves her so much.
"How about you and the girls hang out with AJ after I tell them? you know, get to know her, the real her-" Paige paused when Emma gave her a confused look. "I'm telling the others about our relationship before you decided to snatch me. Come with me." Emma smiled and nodded her head before hugging her best friend for the second time.
AJ and Brie was still in the catering as they waited for Nikki, who left them when she saw her Superman which by the way is the top Superstar and the face of WWE. AJ smiled, remembering that she had the privilege to work with John Cena and Daniel Bryan. The good old days, where she is always involved in a Romantic storyline. She didn't complain, she didn't think twice every time Stephanie McMahon or Paul Levesque gave her the script. She has learned a lot from the Superstars that she worked with, they help her to be better at her craft.
"Now that my sister is gone, I want to tell you something really important." Brie looked around to see if there's people near their table or if someone can hear them. There's a few Superstars who walked past them, not even bothering to look at AJ and Brie. The younger Bella Twin pulled her chair closer to AJ, AJ almost laugh at the sudden movement, but she waited Brie to start informing her about the 'Important thing' that she needs to know.
"The day you told me everything regarding your relationship with Paige, You assigned me to look after her and to see if you have some competition in here. Bad news is, I think there is." Brie said, as she looked around again. "I really don't care about her friendship with a certain someone, but these past few days I realized there's something strange between those two. The wink that she gives Paige when she thought no one notices, the hug that takes longer than a casual hug between friends, she kisses Paige on the cheek before or after a match. Believe it or not, I asked Roman if there's something going on between them, but Roman assured me its just a very different type of friendship, but he said there's nothing to worry about."
"I appreciate that you're reporting to me, but who are we talking about?" AJ said, calmly. She started imagining things, mostly about what she can do with whoever is flirting with Paige. 'I can beat the hell out of her until she dies or I'll just suffocate her in her sleep... tonight.' AJ thought.
"It's Sasha Banks. She's a bit flirty around Paige." Brie noticed that AJ is staring intently at something or someone when she looked at her right there she is. the one and only. Sasha Banks with Becky Lynch. Brie grabbed AJs hand, giving her a warning look.
"How about we go against those two? Becky went off-script during her match with Paige she doesn't deserve to be here! She's unprofessional and Sasha.. What can I say? She has a good taste, but I don't want her near my girlfriend. I can finish them both tonight." Brie laughed a little, it seems like AJ is in her character and she's ready to attack Sasha and Becky and locked them up in a 'Black Widow'
"Relax, AJ. Let's wait for a few days you haven't witnessed the way she acts towards Paige, you're the only one who can tell if someone is flirting with your girl because you'll get that feeling right?" A bundle of different feelings jealousy, hurt.. the list goes on and on. Brie knew that kind of feeling because she got Daniel Bryan for a husband and every woman want to throw themselves to the YES Man. AJ wasn't really paying attention to her friend, she's staring at Sasha plotting a bunch of ways to kill and torture her. She wasn't even sure if Sasha loves Paige the same way that she loves her, but she doesn't care. She doesn't want any other girl kissing her girlfriend after and before a match that's her job not Sasha's! 'Who does she think she is?' AJ thought before looking at Brie.
"We can drop her body somewhere, Brie. Don't worry too much I'm good at eliminating my rivals." AJ said, in a sarcastic tone when her phone vibrated. It's a message from Paige asking her to come to their Hotel room and bring the twins with her. AJ informed Brie that they needed to go back to the Hotel she knew what will happen next when they got back to the Hotel. Brie told AJ that she'll go find Nikki and she'll be right back. This is it! Paige is making a huge move for the both of them this is what she wanted she's super excited. AJ once again looked at the opposite side of the catering area, she looked at Sasha. 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' AJ smirked, before walking towards where Sasha is.
What do you guys think? Thanks to all the reviews! Much love.
