Hey all, sorry about the lack of update...for ages. There's no excuse, but i can make something up if you want. The first part in italics is the last bit from chapter 16, so you know what just happened.
Read and Review chickadees. xoxo
"Seriously no one likes your name do they?" I smiled. "Silly String, Hellover, Si, Elle, Squirt, Rainy Day."
"Dan also calls me S doll, Aunty Kimmy calls me Elsivador and some of my friends from school called me E-babe, from the whole E-bay era."
"What about your mum?"
"She called me munchkin, of course, and Edna"
"Why Edna?"
"Dame Edna Everage, her greeting is always Hell possums, and my mum used to call me possum so it turned into Edna."
"That's cute. You ready to go now?"
"Yep lets do this thing." And be incredibly early. He grabbed my hand and took me over to his corvette and we took off for my shopping spree.
When we pulled up outside the shops, the time on the dash said 11:30.
"Good timing Skittles, nice and early, but what am I gonna do for half an hour?" Jeff parked the car and opened the door.
"You Squirt? Nothing. We are going to get you a mobile, so I can keep track of you…and so work can reach you of course." A new phone. Sweet. Jeff took me into some phone shop, I really wasn't paying much attention. "Go crazy, pick one." Jeff said as I saw about thirty phones to choose from. I settled on a Sony Ericsson Z550i, believe it or not it was the plainness of this phone that made it stand out. A shoppy came over and he organized the whole deal for me.
"Ok, so all up that'll cost you 189.95." The shoppy, whose name ended up being Carl, said. What a boring name.
"Put it all on that one." Jeff said, pulling a card out of his wallet.
"No Jeff, you can't buy me a new phone."
"Why not? I'm going to annoy you twenty-four seven on it anyway." I rolled my eyes. He probably will too.
"Fine, you waste our money on me if you want to."
"I do." Evil ass, spending money unnecessarily on me. I took my brand new phone off him, programmed his number as well as the home number into it and went off, telling him to give my new number to Aunty K when he got home. He agreed and we left each other then.
"Bye Skittles, no trouble today." I said before he kissed me.
"No trouble for Skittles, I promise nothing for Itchweeed though. Have fun Squirt." Then he left. I wondered around for a while before my phone went off. I rolled my eyes thinking it was Jeff and answered.
"Hey Bitch."
"Ash Mash?"
"Yea, this is Ash, where are you Elsie?"
"Umm, I'm outside a shop called Hot Topic."
"Ok see you in like a sec." Then she hung up. I programmed her number in my phone and waited. I was waiting for literally a second before I was ambushed by Ashley, Mickie, Candice, Amy and Maria.
"Umm Hey guys."
"Hey" They chorused back.
"Hey Elsie, give me your phone for a sec." Mickie said, so I gave her my phone.
"What'd you want it for?"
"Putting my number in."
"Could you all do that please?" A mixture of sure, you bet and 'course were heard.
"And please don't call me Elsie, it's massively too formal."
"Ok, got any nicknames?" Maria asked.
"Tons, just pick anything you think suits me."
"Sounds good. So where do you wanna head first?" Candice asked.
"Umm I'm Australian. I have no idea what anything is round here."
"SO you're new to the states then? Ho long have you been here for?" Amy asked.
"Umm I got here Saturday, so that's what a week and a half."
"Seriously? I though you might've been here for a couple of months or something." Ash said.
"Nope, that's why I got a new phone. Eleven days, that's it."
"And you already landed Hardy, got a job and punched Jillian in the face…nice work." Mickie said, we all burst out laughing.
"Ok bitches, let's go shopping." I said to the group. "Just take me anywhere, if you find something that you think suits me just grab it and I'll try it on."
"Fun shopping you mean?" Maria said. Maybe she is a little hyper and looking at the words I could use I'm choosing to say naive.
The divas or as I think they are, professional shoppers, dragged me to every single store known to man. I had tried on every piece of clothing known to man. We were now sitting down getting some lunch.
"So Sizzle" Another new nickname, this one from Candice. "You got here nine days ago, but what's the Elsie ummm –
"Bremner" I inputted.
"Elsie Bremner story." She finished.
"Well I was born in Bathurst Australia, me and my mum lived in Tuena until I was eight, then we moved to the city, Brisbane I mean, not Sydney. Where we lived till my Uncle cut the brakes of her car, and she died, I was 10." I said in one breath. "Then about a fortnight later I went and lived with my Gran, she lived in Brisbane so it was ok, but then we moved back to Tuena. Then at fifteen I moved back to my old house, which I won now."
"I'm sorry Sizz." Looks like Sizzle, or Sizz would be my nickname from the divas.
"It's fine Micks" Wonder what their reaction to the whole story would be.
"So why'd you come out here?" Amy asked.
"Well I'm staying with my Aunt and cousins, I come visit them whenever I can, which isn't often."
"I can imagine." Maria said. "I have enough trouble visiting my family and they live in the same country."
"Aunty K, Dan and Andy move a lot." I added. "SO it's not always the states."
"Why do they move so much?" Mickie asked.
"My uncle, the one who's responsible for mum's death, he's been stalking them since the twins were three."
"That's harsh." Ash said.
"Yea, but that's life. Anyway, the moved in next-door to Jeff and he got me the job, so here I am, in a shopping centre surrounded by divas with a million and one bags." A wave of aww's were heard at the mention of Jeff's name.
"So ladies, I think Sizzle here has more than enough to make Vince happy with the effort. Now I think it's time to go back to the hotel and personally I think it's time for a fashion show of Sizzle's new wardrobe." Ash said, strangely enough all the divas agreed.
"You guys are gonna make me no matter what I say aren't you?"
"Pretty much." Amy replied.
"Fine just let me call Jeff and tell him. He's my ride after all." I hopped up and went over to a quiet corner and called Jeff.
"I don't deal with cobs or earthworms."
"That is the weirdest way to answer your phone." I said laughing.
"That's why I did it like that. It usually gets rid of fans and telemarketers."
"Clever boy."
"Very, now what can I do for you Miss no actual name?"
"Original. But ash invited slash, is forcing me to go to her hotel room and give a fashion show of what they picked for me to buy. So I'm going to be there. How are you and Matt doing?"
"Good. He's come to grips with things, basically he caved before he left the other day, he said the way we looked at each other was enough for him." That's seriously sweet.
"Aww that's cute. Say hi to him for me then. I'd better go though babe, Amy looks like she's about to grab me and pull me to the hotel."
"Bye Squirt."
"Bye Skittles." I hung up and walked back to the divas. Who had divvied my bags between them and were stood up to leave.
"Let's go bitches." Ash said as we walked out of the shopping centre. We opted to walk to the hotel since it was like a ten-minute walk, then they got into the lift.
"Ash what floor?"
"Four why?"
"I'm taking the stair, always have always will. I'll meet you up there."
"Ok room 408."
"Thanks." With that I was up the stairs in a heartbeat. I'll always choose stairs over lifts and escalators, my friend Mandy has a lovely companion in Trandel, her wheelchair, she was in a major car accident and lost all feeling in her legs. And she told me one night if she could wish for anything it would be o be able to climb stair for a whole day and nothing else. Ever since then, whenever I'm not with Mandy I've taken the stairs.
"Ok, 401, 402, 405, there, 408." I said to myself. I heard a noise behind me and turned to see the divas come out of the lift. "Sucked in I beat you bitches."
"Shit you're fast."
"I take the stairs…a lot. I'm used to it."
"That's amazing, why did you take the stairs though?"
"Appreciation."
"Of?" Amy asked.
"My friend." I told the divas about Mandy and Trandel.
"That's so sweet." Ria said. We walked into Ash's room, which she had gotten out of sharing somehow. The divas squeezed onto the couch and shoved me into the bathroom with the mountain of bags. First one I went for was Victoria's secret, I really need to get one of my own bras on, since I was in a major rush this morning I just grabbed the closest thing, which happened to be Ash's. I put on a black and purple lacy set. Put on some black skinnies and a black and purple corset top. I added some knee high black suede heeled boots and went out to face my audience. I was greeted by wolf whistles.
"Girl, you're majorly HOTT." Mel said, clearly she was invited and came when I was in the dunny getting changed.
"Thanks Mel"
"No wonder we're calling you Sizzle." I walked towards the couches, did a runway turn laughing all the while then walked back to the bathroom.
My next outfit was a hot pink mini with a black halter that had 'secret' in hot pink across the chest accompanied by fuzzy pink boots from a store called Sweet soles. Once again I was greeted by wolf whistles and catcalls. That was their reaction to every single outfit I bought.
"Hey Sizz, let's see what was in the Vikki's secret bag." Kelly Kelly yelled to me, after joining the show half way through. The other divas agreed one way or another. So I put on a white rob the hotel left for the guests and exited in the black and purple combo. I stopped outside the door, undid the tie, and in a very Candice fashioned opened the rob revealing my new lingerie. The divas screamed and whistled louder than before. Yea right they're just being supportive.
"Hey what'd you get her for BnP matches?" Mel asked them. What BnP matches are I don't know.
"I think I chose a black set with a red cross on the bra." Ash interjected.
"Let's see it them Sizz." I walked into the bathroom and changed into the lingerie that Ash described, it was hot. I walked out wearing the set Ash got for me. Expecting the divas to be whistling and such I was surprised to hear nothing I opened an eye to see not only Ash, Mickie, Candice, Ames, Ria, Mel and Kelly but also Randy, John and Shawn. CRAP!
"Wow little dude, wow." Was John's reaction.
"Elsie you look…wow" was all Randy could manage and Shawn rushed over to me and put his leather jacket over me. I would've laughed but I was blushing so much I doubt I could.
"Thanks dad." I managed to say after a bit. Not actually realising I had called Shawn dad, which is weird in itself because I had never said the word, not once in my life.
"You're welcome sweetie." He said, either not noticing what I'd done, trying to ease the situation or was prepared to play that role for me. I'll ask him later. Paul walked into the room where you could cut the tension with a knife. Randy and John were still in a frozen state over my BnP state, and the divas over the whole Shawn dad deal.
"What's happened in here?" Paul asked Shawn.
"Just a little BnP bonding." Shawn replied. Which appeared to be the code for acting normal again.
"BnP…that reminds me, Vince reckons it'll be easy enough to put Hellover here in a BnP match against Jillian on Monday."
"Me…Jillian…Monday" I asked, squeaking the last part.
"Yea, you'll be fine, just wear really right clothes." Paul replied.
"Oh Sizz, wear that fist outfit…you truly do sizzle in it." Mel added. I nodded and headed back into the bathroom to change into my normal clothes. I came out to find just Ash left.
"Hey Ash Mash, do you know where Paul and Shawn went?"
"They went to Shawn's room." I opened my mouth. "403." She added, answering my unasked question. Just as I was about to leave my phone rang.
"Hello"
"Hey Squirt, listen Matt and I are thinking of having some bro time, is it possible maybe for you to stay with Ash? Kimmy already said it was fine with her."
"Umm yea sure. I'll see you tomorrow." I said before hanging up. "Hey Ash, can I stay with you tonight? Jeff can't come get me and I have no other way of getting home."
"Sure poppet."
"Thanks Ash, it means more than you know."
"It's fine, now go talk to Shawn." Damn mind reader.
"Just gotta make a quick call first." I dialled home, after like three rings Dan picked up.
"Hey BanDana"
"Silly string, what can I help you with?"
"Umm nothing, it's just I'm really sorry Dan, I can't get a lift back tonight, are you busy tomorrow afternoon?"
"That sucks, but no, tomorrow is good."
"Sweet it'll be just you and me all afternoon I promise."
"Alright, see you then S doll"
"Bye BanDana" I hung up and spun around to see a really annoyed Ashley.
"Elsie" Crap first name shit. "I'm gonna ask you for an honest answer here."
"Ok Ash. You're letting me stay honest I can do."
"Who was that you're spending the whole afternoon with tomorrow, sounded like a guy."
"It was. It was my BanDana" I replied. Then realising she had no idea who I was talking about, and from her face I could tell she didn't think it was a cousin relationship between us.
"Mmmhmm" was the only noise Ash made.
"Yea, BanDana. My cousin Dan." Ash let out this huge breath and smiled.
"Sorry Sizzle it's just he way you were talking to him."
"That? That was nothing you should see me and Andy, the one from Raw, we talk and no one seems to understand us at all…it's really funny." I said putting my phone back in my bag. I was about to leave when Ash called me back.
"Here take my key, I'll go down to reception and get another." She said as she handed me her key.
"Thanks Ash." I said and left for Shawn's room.
