Chapter 35
Finally Monday arrived which meant Raw was that night. When John and Lily arrived at the arena, they were informed that they would be doing a segment with Eve. Lily wasn't prepared for it but had no choice. She hated the Eve storyline.
"Princess, I know you don't like doing this storyline with Eve but we can't back out now." John told Lily.
"I know Dad. Don't worry I will get it right." She told him.
After going over her lines and the segment, John allowed Lily to walk around the arena for a bit. As she was doing just that she ran into Phil and his little brother.
"Hi Phil, Hi Seth!" she said smiling at them.
As she greeted them her eyes met with Seth's. They were so amazing to her and she just couldn't help but stare into them. Seth smiled back, not able to take his eyes off of Lilyana's. Finally, Phil broke the odd silence and brought the two youngsters back to reality.
"Hey there Kiddo, are you ready for tonight's show?" Phil asked.
That got them all talking and Lily found out Seth was staying for the show. She was excited. After about 10 minutes Phil agreed to let Seth walk around with Lily. He warned them both to behave and then headed off to take care of some things on his own.
The two kids stood there for a minute in awkward silence until Seth grabbed Lily's hand and started leading her around. They went to catering for a bit and got a bite to eat and some water. They sat and talked for a while and then decided to walk around again.
Eventually they found somewhere private to just sit and talk. They got to know each other better. They talked about their families, school, their dreams and future career goals. It turned out that they had a lot in common.
"I can't wait for the summer camp." Seth said.
"I kind of think it will be fun but I am not sure about being away from my dad that long." Lily replied.
"Hey don't worry about it. I will be there with you the entire time." Seth told her, smiling and reaching for her hand.
Lily smiled back at him and blushed a little. She liked the way her hand felt in his. They just sat there for a minute holding hands and smiling at each other. Suddenly Seth leaned in and kissed Lilyana, taking the girl by surprise. It was at that moment that they were interrupted.
Ted cleared his throat making the kids jump a little. Lily immediately let go of Seth's hand and moved away from him a little. She couldn't even look at Ted. She was so embarrassed and hoped he wouldn't tell her dad or Uncle Randy.
"Hi Ted. Seth and I were, umm, just talking." Lily said.
Ted looked at the girl and smiled.
"It's ok Lil Firecracker. I won't rat you out but you two better behave yourselves. You, young man, better not hurt or take advantage of her or else." Ted warned.
Seth squirmed a bit, feeling intimidated. Ted just laughed a little. Then he let Lily know that she needed to get back to the locker room to get ready for her segment.
"Thanks Teddy Bear. I will be there in a minute." Lily said giggling.
Ted glared at her for a second then smiled. He hated that nickname but couldn't seem to get Anna or Lily to quit using it. He warned them to behave once more and then left them alone, reminding Lily to get her behind back to the locker room quickly.
Seth took Lily's hand and looked into her blue eyes. He couldn't help himself, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Then, the two headed towards Lily's locker room. They held hands the entire time, only letting go when they reached their destination.
"Here's my number. Text or call me anytime." Seth said taking Lily's phone from her and putting his number in it.
Lily smiled and took his phone, putting her own number in it. They handed the phones back just as John stepped out or the locker room. Lily said goodbye to Seth and then followed her dad back into the room.
"Alright Princess, you need to get ready for your scene with Eve. I have to get out to my match. I love you Princess." John said hugging his daughter quickly before heading off to the gorilla area.
Lily got on her ring gear and prepared for the scene. She was supposed to be heading to ringside but is stopped by Eve. Lilyana takes a breath and then heads out of the locker room. She starts heading to the spot that Eve is supposed to stop her. John's match ends and he heads back stage.
At that point the screen in the arena shows Eve walking up to Lilyana. The entire WWE Universe is now watching the exchange between Eve Torres and Lilyana Cena.
"Well, well, if it isn't Daddy's little princess." Eve says snidely.
"What do you want Eve? I'm heading out to congratulate my dad if you don't mind." Lily says rolling her eyes.
"First of all, I don't like your tone little girl. Second of all, you and I need to have a chat. I know that you are used to being Daddy's princess and don't want to share the attention, but you better get used to the idea. I am the new woman in your dad's life and I will not be pushed aside for a stupid little girl, his daughter or not." Eve told her laughing mockingly.
Lily glared at Eve. Her hands both balled into fists and she was ready to hit Eve. Just as she was about to open her mouth and say something back, she saw Eve plaster a fake smile on her face. Lily turned around and saw her dad walking towards them. She too, put a smile on her face.
"Hi Daddy, great job out there!" she called out to him.
John smiled and thanked her, giving her a quick hug. He released her quickly so he could greet Eve with a kiss and an embrace. While he was holding Eve, his back was towards Lily. Eve gave her an evil smirk. After that, John released Eve and stood there holding her hand.
"So what were my two beautiful girls talking about?" John asked.
"Oh, nothing much, mostly girl talk. I was also giving Lilyana some wrestling pointers." Eve said sweetly.
Lily confirmed that Eve was telling the truth and gave them a fake smile.
"Ok well, glad to see my two girls getting along. Princess, why don't you go to catering or find something to do? I am going to spend some time with Eve." John said.
Eve smirked at Lily, while Lily tried to hide her disdain.
"Ok dad, see you in a little bit." Lily said.
As John walks away with his arm around Eve, Lily is shown glaring at their backs as the scene ends. After that, John came back and told Lily she did a great job. They hug and then head to their locker room to get ready for the next part of the scene and watch some of the matches going on.
A little later, the screen shows Lily in the locker room. She is in there alone. She picks up her phone and reads a text. Pissed off, she throws her phone at the door just as Zack Ryder walks in barely dodging the flying object.
"Whoa, Lil Broski, what the heck is that all about?" he asks the obviously upset girl.
Lily glares at him with tears in her eyes and just shakes her head.
"That hoeski Eve has to go, Broski! She is ruining my life. He is my Daddy. I am supposed to be his only princess but that hoeski is stealing all his attention from me." Lily tells him.
The rest of the scene was the two of them forming a plan to break Eve and John up. It ends with them heading out of the locker room to look for someone.
Relieved that the scenes were over for the night, Lily headed to catering to find her dad. Sure enough, John was waiting for her with Ayden, Phil, AJ, and Seth. They waved at her and she waved back. She grabbed a plate of food and sat down between John and Seth.
Everyone congratulated her on how well she did with the scenes. They talked while they ate but soon it was time to head back to the hotel for the night. John and Lily said bye to everyone and then headed back to their room.
Once at the hotel and in their room, Lily got ready for bed. It was long after she had laid down, that she was asleep. John smiled at his sleeping daughter and then got ready for bed himself. Before going to sleep, he sent a text to Ayden.
"Goodnight Beautiful! Sleep well and sweet dreams. I love you."
Ayden sent a text back to him and he smiled when he read it.
"Goodnight Love! My dreams will be sweet as long as you are in them. Sleep well. I love you too Babe."
Meanwhile, Randy was in his own room on the phone with his future wife. He and Sam were making wedding plans and talking about their day. Randy couldn't wait to make her his wife. Their wedding day was going to one of the happiest days of his life. Before they said their goodnights to each other, they had agreed that John would be asked to be his best man and Lily would be asked to be a junior bride's maid. They said their goodbyes and Randy went to sleep thinking of Samantha and their wedding day.
