Ok so I've decided that for some of the guys I'm gonna use their rings names because it's just easier for some I'll use their real names :)
"Don't look so nervous" Adam laughed patting my back as we were walking through the hotel reception and into the bar.
"That's easier said than done" I said trying to keep composure. We walked into the hotel bar. It was reasonably quiet; the only noise was the clinking of glasses and gentle chatter from the few people that were sitting around.
"WADE…MY BOY!" Adam shouted across the bar causing everyone to stop and turn to face us.
"Adam…Where have you been all afternoon?" A man, who I could only assume was Wade, shouted back as he walked towards us.
"I had to pick up the newest diva from the airport" Adam explained giving Wade what I called a 'man hug'.
"So that's who you are" Wade winked with a sexy smirk. His gorgeous black hair was gelled back and his green eyes were sparkling with every ray of light that hit them. He was heavy set and his muscular body was obvious underneath his shirt that had a few buttons undone at the top to tease at what may lay beneath. I'm not against it. I began to wonder if it was a requirement for every man that was employed by the WWE to be good looking. I felt my stomach begin to do backflips as I registered his accent. He was English. Better say something before I look stupid.
"Yeah…Hi" I managed to get out.
"Are you not going to tell me your name?" He asked holding out his hand for me to shake.
"Sorry" I laughed shaking my head in disbelief at my stupidity "Scarlett Pearce" I introduced myself shaking his hand.
"Wade Barrett" He grinned.
"Can you believe she doesn't watch WWE…She watches TNA" Adam piped up in disbelief.
"I think we can soon sort that out" Wade smiled a jaw droppingly gorgeous smile as he patted my shoulder causing me to blush as I felt my knees weaken at his touch. I quickly regained my composure and followed them to the bar.
"Let me introduce you to everyone" Adam smiled "Guys this is Scarlett" Adam said before he introduced me to everyone one by one "This is Kelly" He smiled pointing to a small girl with long blonde hair.
"Hi" She smiled brightly.
"This is Eve" He announced pointing to a small girl with long dark brown hair and a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Hello"
"The rest of the girls will get here in a minute…They take forever to get ready" He joked rolling his eyes. "And this is Heath" He spoke wrapping an arm around a tallish man with shoulder length ginger hair.
"Hey" He grinned pulling me into a hug and catching me completely off guard.
"And this good looking man right here is Justin" He joked.
"Yo" He smiled a man with jet black hair and tanned skin smiled shaking my hand.
"Is this everyone?" Adam asked Wade.
"Uhh…Yeah…Well apart from John and Phil" He explained. "Everyone else either couldn't or wouldn't come" He added with a slight chuckle.
"Ok then" Adam shrugged "Anyway. Scarlett do you want a drink?" He asked "I'm buying" He added with a cheeky smile.
"Ermm yeah ok then" I agreed before thinking about my choice.
"I'll have a Stella" Wade said placing a hand on Adams shoulder.
"Cider for me please" I grinned laughing at the shocked looks on the faces of the people that heard what I had said. "Yes I drink Cider" I laughed rolling my eyes.
"Wow girl…We're going to have to get you out partying with us" Heath chuckled wrapping his arm around my shoulders and giving me a hug.
"Heath…You party like a girl I bet she could drink you under the table" A deep voice came from behind us. I spun on my heel to look and see who it was. A large man with huge muscles stood infront of me with a smile on his face.
"Hey I'm John Cena" He introduced himself wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
"Scarlett Pearce" I smiled as Adam handed me my Cider and Kelly pulled me to the side with the rest of the girls "Ermm Kelly what…?" I began to ask.
"You should probably keep away from Wade" She warned as all the other girls nodded. The look on her face made me believe her something about it told me she was just trying to help me out.
"Why?" I asked confused.
"Alicia Fox…That's why" Kelly stated simply and before I could try and get a better explanation out of her Adam called me over to where he was standing with…Wade. I smiled a goodbye at them before walking over to the two of them leaning against the bar, as I stopped infront of Wade and Adam I felt the girls eyes all on my back.
"What's with them?" Adam asked gesturing to the girls behind me, I turned to find them still staring at me and muttering amongst each other.
"Uhhh…It's nothing" I sighed shaking my head and choosing not to say anything seeing as Wade was right there.
"If they're giving you any trouble let us know…They can be..." Wade paused for a moment obviously choosing his words carefully "…Territorial" He chuckled.
"They're not giving me any trouble but thanks" I smiled.
"So who's this then?" A man covered in tattoos, gelled back jet black hair and a lip ring.
"Scarlett Pearce" I introduced myself feeling more comfortable around everyone now, they were just so welcoming.
"Phil Brookes" He responded shaking my hand as he asked the person behind the bar for a Pepsi he must of seen the look of confusion on my face because he let out a slight chuckle before explaining why "I'm straightedge" He winked I must have still looked confused because he explained further "I don't drink, Smoke, do drugs or have promiscuous sex" He winked.
"Oh right ok then" I nodded finally understanding.
"But that doesn't mean I don't go out partying with everyone" He announced "It is piss funny seeing this lot drunk" He added as I see Wade approaching, I quickly made an excuse to go and walked over to Heath and Justin.
"Hey girl" Heath smiled.
"Hey" Justin smiled.
"Hey…Ermm I was wondering if you guys could explain something to me" I mused.
"What is it?" Justin asked.
"Who's Alicia Fox?"
"Oh…" Justin grimaced.
"Steer clear of her…She's bad news" Heath informed me running a hand through his long hair. "Why do you ask?" He inquired.
"Earlier the girls pulled me aside and told me to keep away from Wade because of Alicia Fox…They just didn't say why" I shrugged.
"What I will say is if you and Wade do decide to start something…Keep your eyes open and don't let her know your weaknesses. She'll use it against you" Justin explained patting my arm.
"Thanks" I sighed "We're not going to start anything…What the girls said just confused me a little" I explained.
"Hey guys" Wade smiled as he stood next to me.
"I'm gonna go and talk to Adam for a while" I smiled walking away.
At least two hours passed and Adam was chatting away to some of the others whilst I sat on a sofa towards the back near a window. I sat thinking about what the girls had said earlier for some reason it was bothering me more than it should.
"Why are you over here on your own?" Wade asked sitting down next to me placing an arm on the back of the sofa behind me.
"No reason" I shrugged with a laugh "Just thinking"
"What about?" He asked curiously.
"Just this place" That was half true, I had been thinking about that before my mind wondered to the conversation with the girls earlier.
"Why do I get the feeling you're not telling me the whole truth?" He asked with one of the sexiest smirks I had ever seen. I laughed looked away from his gaze. "I'm not going to force you tell me but you've kinda been avoiding me since you spoke to the girls…If what you spoke about was me…I'd like to know" He explained, I sighed knowing that he had a fair point.
"They told me to stay away from you" I blurted out hoping this conversation wouldn't be as awkward as it could be.
"Why?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.
"They didn't say why…When I asked why they just said Alicia Fox" I shrugged.
"Shit" He groaned clenching his fists in anger.
"Sorry" I uttered.
"What are you sorry for?" He asked raising an eyebrow but before I could answer he carried on "Look, Alicia is my ex and she still doesn't like me talking to other girls" He explained clearly agitated at what he had been told. "Especially not beautiful ones" He added with a slight blush as I giggled in embarrassment.
"I don't want to get in the way of anything" I explained shaking my head.
"You wouldn't be" He reassured me. An awkward silence fell between us as we both thought about what to say next, Wade eventually decided on trying to make me laugh. "What did Hulk Hogan ask in Arts and Crafts class?...Whatcha you gonna glue, brother?" I burst into fits of laughter and began to hold my sides "Once you start making jokes about wrestling, you know you've hit rock bottom" He quipped. I laughed at his lame attempt at a joke and looked up at his face, I was about to talk but something stopped me, I'm not sure what it was but for a moment we sat in silence, Wade with his arm around the back of the sofa behind where I was sitting, looking into each other's eyes. I began to get lost in his eyes but I was distracted by him lifting my chin gently with his finger and placing his lips gently to mine. "Sorry" He apologised awkwardly as I pulled away, remembering what Kelly and the girls had said a short while before "I promised myself I wouldn't do that" He said shifting so there was a small space between us.
"It's a lot to deal with on my first day here" I admitted with a smile "Let's just give it some time, get to know each other first, then we can go from there" I suggested before kissing his cheek and walking back over to Adam.
"Hey…I'm going to head up to the room" He smiled as he see me approach.
"I was about to say the same thing" I yawned. We said our goodbyes and walked back up to our room.
"You had a good time?" Adam asked as we entered the room.
"Yeah" I nodded as I picked my Giraffe print pyjama bottoms and a black vest top out of my suitcase. I got changed and re-entered the bedroom to find Adam sitting on the bed in a pair of tracksuit bottoms, and nothing else. My eyes widened at his perfectly toned body and tattoos going up his arm. He really was gorgeous. As I entered the room I noticed his mouth drop open slightly in shock causing me to smile a little. "See you something you like?" I laughed laying down on the bed in a ball.
"Well…" He joked laying down next to me. "So you and Wade huh" He giggled wiggling his eyebrows up and down suggestively.
"I don't know" I moaned rolling over so I was no longer facing Adam as I began to blush a little.
"So you like him?" He asked.
"He's definitely good looking" I admitted picking at my nails again. "What does it matter to you anyway?"
"It doesn't" He shrugged "Did the girls tell you about Alicia?" He asked rolling over so he was facing the ceiling.
"Yeah…In a way" I shrugged mimicking his moves and staring at the ceiling to.
"What do you mean?" He inquired.
"Well all they told me was to back off of Wade because of Alicia….They didn't say why" I mused. "So I spoke to Justin and Heath about it…Then when I was speaking to Wade on the sofa he managed to get me to tell him why I had avoided him after I spoke to the girls, then he explained the situation with Alicia" I explained.
"So what are you going to do then?" He probed, I got the feeling that he was slightly more interested in the situation than he was letting on.
"I'm not looking for a relationship" I pondered "I only got here today and I want to get settled and start wrestling before I think of anything other than friendships" I told him.
"That's fair enough" He shrugged closing his eyes.
"Why do you care?" I asked.
"I'm your mentor…I'm supposed to look out for you I just want to make sure you're ok" He explained "By the way tomorrow we need to be up early because I want to see how you are in the ring" He added.
"Ok" I agreed wriggling under the covers and closing my eyes. After around an hour of tossing and turning I let out a deep breath and sat up. Sleep would just not come.
"Can't sleep either?" Adam asked sitting up.
"No" I huffed agitated.
"Come on let's watch a film" He suggested walking into the main part of our room and switching on the TV.
"Fuck me it's cold in here" I shivered wrapping my arms around myself. Adam laughed and walked back into the bedroom only to return a few minutes later dragging the bed cover behind him. I chuckled at him as he dragged the cover and I sat down on the sofa just as Adam plopped next to me and wrapped us both up to keep warm. "Thanks" I mumbled pulling it right up under my chin watching Adam flick through the channels for a good movie, after a moment of channel flicking he stopped on an old horror film. "Are you trying to give me a fucking heart attack?" I laughed.
"Yes" He stated matter of factly.
"Wow thanks" I mumbled pretending to be angry.
"I was joking" He sighed ruffling my hair before tapping my cheek with his finger.
"Go away" I grumbled leaning my head on the side of the sofa and slowly drifting into a deep sleep.
"Morning sunshine" Adam laughed as he noticed me waking up.
"Morning" I said through a yawn.
"Sleep well?" He inquired handing me a cup of coffee.
"Thanks…Yeah you?"
"Yeah not bad" He shrugged sitting down next to me with his own coffee.
"Sorry I fell asleep" I apologised sitting up and wincing as my back ached from sleeping in an awkward position on the sofa.
"No worries" He said waving it off as if it was nothing, it fell silent between us again before Adam noticed me rubbing my neck. "Come here" He laughed making me turn so my back was to him, I felt him place his strong warm hands on my shoulders and begin gently massaging them. His hands were soft and strong, I'd never had a massage like it, it was amazing every part of my body melted as he squeezed them making me feel entirely relaxed. I had to stop myself from moaning in pleasure as his strong hands worked at my shoulders. He stopped massaging and turned me back around before picking up his coffee again "Better?" He asked.
"Yeah" I smiled trying to regain my composure. "How comes you're not aching from sleeping on the sofa?"
"Because I didn't sleep on the sofa…I slept on the bed" He informed me.
"You didn't have a cover though" I pointed out.
"Don't matter…My back wouldn't have handled sleeping on the sofa so I had no choice" He shrugged as if it didn't matter.
"I'm sorry" I said feeling guilty "You should have woken me up" I said.
"No you looked peaceful" He smiled.
"Sorry…I should get ready" I spoke standing up and walking into the bedroom picking up some clothes from my suitcase. I quickly got ready putting on a pair of ¾ tracksuit bottoms and a white vest top along with my high tops. I put my hair into a messy bun and decided not to bother with make-up due to the fact I would more than likely sweat it off.
"What's your finisher then?" Adam asked jumping on to the ring apron and rolling under the bottom ropes.
"I don't really have one" I sighed getting into the ring.
"Course you do"
"Well it's always been my thing to just do TNA and WWE Superstars finishers" I admitted embarrassed.
"How did you learn the moves if you never watched the WWE?" He asked obviously trying to catch me out.
"The trainers taught me" I answered.
"Show me what you got then" He laughed, a small smile tugged at my lips and I had a glint in my eye as I quickly speared him catching him off guard as I drove my shoulder in his stomach and we both hit the mat. "What…The…Fuck?" He groaned lying on the mat and holding his stomach.
"Just because I didn't recognise you doesn't mean I've never heard of you" I smiled slapping his arm playfully. "I recognised the name Edge as soon as you told me it" I explained "Rated R Superstar" I grinned standing up and holding a hand out to help him up.
"You nearly snapped me in fucking half" He whined as he took hold of my hand stood up.
"Good…Don't mess with me" I joked. We went through a few more finishers I could do before sparring for a while so he could see what I was like at thinking on my feet.
"Are you Scarlett?" A girls voice came from ringside, we promptly stopped fighting for a moment to see who it was.
"Yeah" I nodded warily.
"Good…I'm Alicia Fox, can I have a chat with you?" She asked before turning her attention to Adam "In private" She added with a slightly obnoxious tone to her voice triggering me to instantly dislike her.
