Ch.3
Ali sat on the trainer's table, sipping her cotton candy frap from Starbucks. She laughed at her phone as she went through more creations of mixing Starbucks drinks, like a vanilla frap with raspberry, simple and genius.
Her phone started to ring; I'm a bird mother f remix. Ali bobbed her head like a cockatoo to the beat and sang with it, not realizing it was her phone going off. "I'm a bir-bir-bir-bir-birbirbir-bird mother f!"
"Nice moves, but might want to answer your phone Aria" Joe chuckled as Ali sprang off the table and answered her phone, face red hot. "He-hello?" she breathed out.
"Hell is this Ali?" The big man's raspy voice came through that phone.
"This is she" Ali calmed herself, twirling her hair, ignoring that Joe was still in her doorway.
"I didn't interrupt anything…did I?" Vince all but held back his chuckle.
"No sir! I just, well to be honest, love my ring tone and started jamming." Ali's face felt hotter and she couldn't help but wonder if it was from what Vince implied or that Joe was staring her down, even though she tried to ignore his curious smile. She didn't mind him there, it felt normal to her.
"Alright, if you say so kiddo. In two days' time the roster will be in your town, and I was wondering if you would like to meet for a business meeting over coffee, just the two of us."
Ali eyed Joe and gave a slight smile before she answered, "I would like that, I know a great place. It is in Leduc County but none the less, good place. I can text you directions once we set a time and place?" She bit down on her lip nervously at Joes eyebrow raise and the lopsided smile returned. Inside Ali swooned a bit.
"Sounds good, I will text you when I land and hopefully you can meet me right away. If you want a rough estimate, 8 o'clock." Ali could hear the Million Dollar Princess in the background trying to gain her father's attention.
"Eight sounds good, see you then and good bye Vince." Ali was the first to hang up and looked dead into Joes eyes who was still there at this time.
"What can I help you with Joe?" Ali was proud that her voice came out even and calm.
"Well, I was here cause my knee is still sore but caught you on the phone. Date?" Joe took a step closer.
"Sit on the table, now what would make you think that?" she tried to keep her heart from pounding, but when he walked past her and his very firm arm brushed against her breath, she had to hold in the breath that threatened to leave her body in a gasp.
"The blush on your face and-" Joe was cut off by Ali's phone again.
'OH! That's ma jam! That's ma ja-'Ali checked the caller ID, seeing it was Tamina, she thought she would understand if she didn't answer and thus pressed the silence button.
"Sorry about that but no not a date, an interview." Ending with that comment Ali got to work on checking out his knee cap.
"You can answer that you know" Joe just huffed a breath of air as she applied pressure to the bone. "Shit tits!" Joe yelled and Ali started to hysterically laugh.
"Oh…My…God. Joe! Did you just- hahaha oh my god, shit tits?" Ali gently prodded the knee and could feel a slight and irregular bump.
"Shut it and never speak of this." Joe smiled then added, "Please?"
"Maybe, I want you to go to a doctor and check this out; I think it may be cracked." Ali then went over to the phone in the office to make a call and get his appointment booked, as to make sure he actually goes.
After she got off the phone, she handed him a slip of paper for the details for his appointment and walked him out of the office.
"Good luck with the interview Aria. And once again, please don't speak of my phrase." Ali chuckled; it was almost a plea coming from Joe.
"Don't worry; I have said some pretty damn stupid things in my life, and thank you. I would also much appreciate it if me having this interview didn't leave us? If it goes well I would like to tell people myself and not rumors." Ali thought back through stupid yet funny things she had said, and rumors.
"Did you hear about Ali and Joe? What a skank. Sleeping with my man!"
"Oh Summer I agree with you. She needs to learn her place."
Ali stood at her locker, the door hiding her face. It was the night after the Monday after the party. The girls that wanted Joe for his status or body were all jealous and as soon as Twin1 and Twin2 found out, along with Tamina; everybody knew. She was worried about things anymore. This wouldn't bug her that much but the fact that Joe still hadn't shown up and the Samoa clan was off on the road for WWE, she was alone.
"Earth the Aria! Hey! Aria!" Ali snapped out from her memory, Joe's firm grip on her shoulders, lightly shaking her. That didn't bug her-but the fact that his nose was inches away from hers did.
"Joe, I am fine but…your face is really close and..." Ali trailed off. Goddamn being so, so tempted.
He backed up a few steps, still eyeing her. "Alright. Well goodnight."
"Goodnight." Joe shut the door behind him and Ali slunk back deeper into the trainer's room. Grabbing all of her things and cleaning up. She was ready to go home. And to be quite honest with herself, leave this dreary cold town that was too dry in the summer and bloody cold in the winter. She really hoped she could go on the road with her friends.
Ali picked up her phone and swiped across the screen on the miss call, to return Taminas call.
"Hey Ali li li li" Tamina snickered at the nick name.
"Fuck. Seriously Tam?" Ali huffed in frustration.
"Yes ma'am. How are you and why didn't you answer my call!"
"Sorry I was with Joe, knee thing, you know, doing my job." Ali locked up the trainer's room and started to head for her car.
"Well that must be fun. Alone with Anoa'i." Tamina plopped down on her couch and snuggled up against the warm body beside her.
"Shut it Tam. I gotta go, driving time! Miss you Snuka." Ali unlocked her car door and slipped in, waiting for her friends reply.
"Miss you too Al, we have things to talk about, call you later" Tamina hung up and looked into the eyes of her movie watching partner. "You haven't told her yet?" The mysterious man asked the women lying with her head on his chest.
"Not yet Chick Magnet, just wait till she comes here." The so called chick magnet sighed and pressed play for the movie.
Ali was driving in her car, back to her room. Phone plugged into the auxiliary cable; blasting her music. As I'll Be Your Man by James Blunt played, a smile formed on her face and she sang along.
"Slide over here let your hands feel the way, there's no better method to communicate." Feeling a bit more confident and into the song, she turned up the volume and sang louder.
The song lasted the rest of the way home and put her in a better mood. Sometimes it just takes the small things.
Still humming the tune, Ali stopped at her door and fished out her keys.
"Great voice ya got there darlin'." Ali's neighbor commented as he walked by to get to his own door.
"Shhh no I don't" Ali retorted back.
"Well then don't sing in a hotel hallway?" Ali laughed at that. "Good I make ya laugh"
"Yea yea, thanks Dean." Ali couldn't find her keys so she sat on the floor and dumped her purse contents onto the ground, digging around to find the un-findable key card.
"Need help? And if ya don't mind me asking, ya work here so why are ya in a hotel?" Dean asked pointing towards the Edmonton Eskomos employee card that was clipped to her belt loop.
"No I think I'm good haha. Well I travel with them in the season plus exhibition games and spend some of the off season in Pensacola to visit friends and I used to live there so yea." Finding her key card she slipped it into the slot, waited for the light to turn green and opened her door. Propping it open and shoving her things back into her purse.
"Makes sense" Dean smiled at her small struggle of trying to fit a book back into the overstuffed bag.
"Yea, what about you, you've been here for a couple of weeks yet never leave much from what I've noticed" Ali blankly stated, smiling to try and make her statement more friendly.
"Ah well ya see I am waiting for my soon to be boss to arrive in this here town, had to meet him 'ere. Signing a contract, ya know?" Dean smirked at her
"Good luck then, I gotta go make dinner." Ali paused for a moment. "If you don't mind grilled cheese you can join" Ali grabbed the end of her hair and started to twirl it, lighting biting her bottom lip.
"As long as I don't have to cook!" Dean started to walk over and held the door wider for her to walk through following her in.
Ali smiled and walked in, Dean following. She was glad he didn't say no. Yea she didn't know the guy all too well but she was twenty two, time to take some chances and have fun right? Right.
