Chapter 13

Alex's POV

One Monday night when I arrived at the venue for Raw, I was handed a copy of a memo to all Divas from Vince. I scanned it as I walked to the locker room. This year's Diva Search would be beginning tonight. And we were expected to be nice to the Diva Search contestants and show them around and stuff.

I said good bye to John, as he headed off to get himself ready. He told me to meet him outside the guys locker room when the show was over. The plan was for us to go clubbing with Mickie and her boyfriend Kenny, as well as Randy and Maria, and some of the other superstars and Divas.

I rounded the corner and found myself face to face with a really pretty blonde girl. She reminded me a little of Jessica Simpson.

"Hello." She said

"Hi."

"I'm looking for Mr. Mc Mahon's office, I need to sign in for the Diva Search." She drawled, she had a thick southern accent.

"I can take you there." I said to her. "What's your name?"

"Daphne." She said.

"Nice to meet you Daphne, I'm Alex." I said to her.

"Wait, Alex….as in Alex Payne…Mistress Payne?"

"Yup. In the flesh." I said to her.

"I'm a huge fan of yours." She said to me, with a big smile. She passed me her autograph book, and I signed.

"Oh! Thank you very much!" I smiled back at her.

"So where do you come from?" I asked her.

"Houston Texas." She said with an even bigger smile, evidently she was proud of her hometown.

"So are you excited about the Diva Search?" I asked her.

"Oh yes! I've always dreamed of working for WWE." She said.

We reached Vince's office, and I said good bye to Daphne there, telling her I'd probably see her around backstage and stuff. I wished her luck in the first round, and I couldn't help smiling as I walked off to go and dress for my Women's title match against Mickie James.

I quickly changed into my ring attire. Tonight it was a tight leather corset with a pair of black leather short shorts. I grabbed my riding crop out of my bag, and headed off to get my hair and makeup done.

I pulled out my phone while I was sitting in the chair getting my hair styled. I had to tell John all about Daphne…I wanted us to get to know her on a more personal basis. There was potential there for a great friendship.

I knew I was bisexual since age 16. John was one of the few people who knew. I had told him back when we were teenagers, and he had always been supportive of that. We even sometimes checked out women together.

I quickly composed a text message:

I'm bringing someone I want you to meet with me tonight. I'm pretty sure you'll like her. Her name's Daphne, she's one of the new Diva Search girls. I think we could all be very good friends.

I sent the message to John and was not surprised when he was quick to answer.

Sounds great! I'll see you both later. Break a leg tonight sweetie, I love you.

My match with Mickie went very well, and although I was very resilient, I ended up losing in the end. The title wasn't due to change hands yet. I made my way backstage and congratulated Mickie, telling her it was a great match.

"Thanks. See you at the club later?" she said to me.

"Yeah, John and I are both coming, we'll probably have someone with us too."

"Anyone I know?"

"You probably don't know her yet. Daphne. One of the new Diva Search girls."

"Oh well, I look forward to meeting her." Said Mickie.

Mickie really was a doll. She was nice to everyone, no matter what. I liked her a lot, and it was always fun working with her.

I headed back to the dressing room to shower and change into my outfit for the club.

I had chosen a red top, and black leather mini skirt to wear. I tied my hair back in a long braid down my back, and slipped on my knee high black boots.

I put on my perfume and my makeup.

Just then Daphne came in to the dressing room after her part of the show was over. She looked cute, wearing cut-off denim shorts with a D embroidered on the back pocket, and a little white shirt tied just beneath her ample bosom. Her blonde hair was in pig tails.

"Hey Daphne!" I said to her.

"Oh hi Alex." She drawled.

"So how'd it go?" I asked her.

"Pretty good. They cheered pretty loud for me out there. I sure hope I get lots of votes." She smiled.

" I think maybe you will." I said to her. I certainly knew who I was voting for. And I was pretty sure John would be too; depending on how things went.

"So Daphne, do you feel like coming clubbing with me and some of the other Superstars?" I asked.

"Oh my lord! Clubbing? With y'all?" she exclaimed as if it were the greatest thing to ever happen to her.

"Yeah, why not?"

"I'd love to!" she gushed.

"Great, so why don't you get changed and then we'll go and see if John's ready yet."

Daphne hurried off to get herself ready.

I couldn't keep the silly smile off my face as I was waiting for her. John was going to like her. I knew he was. He liked southern girls. He was like me, a sucker for the accent.

Daphne joined me a few minutes later, looking really sexy wearing a see through black mesh top over a pretty black lacy bra along with a pair of tight black leather pants. She was also wearing boots like mine. Her hair was down and curled.

"So what'cha think?" she asked me.

"You look hot!" I said to her.

She giggled.

"So shall we go and see if John's ready?"

"Let's!"

We hurried off to the male locker room, and knocked.

Jeff Hardy answered.

"Hey Alex. You lookin' for John?" he asked.

"Yeah. Is he ready to go yet?" I said.

"I'll go and get him. He just finished dressing." Said Jeff.

John stepped out into the hallway to talk to us, and I thought Daphne was going to faint.

"Oh my lord! You're John Cena!" she said to him.

"I am." He said, looking at me and smiling.

"I'm a huge fan of yours darlin' I thought that you and Alex together was only a TV thing. A storyline. I didn't realize there was any truth to it. When she said John, I just assumed that she had a boyfriend in real life named John too…" she rambled on. She went into her purse and pulled out her autograph book again. She passed it over to John, and he smiled as he signed.

"No sweetie. Alex and I are together off camera as well." He said to her.

Daphne smiled. "I'm glad. I think y'all make a cute couple."

"Oh really?" he said, with a wink in my direction.

"Yes." She said, smiling even bigger.

"So shall we head off then?" I asked.

"Yes. Let's go. Somehow I think this going to be the greatest night of my life." Daphne gushed.

John and I smiled between ourselves. This was definitely the start of a beautiful friendship.
