Eva tapped on her cellphone as a smirk worked its way on her face. If Eva could sum up her time in the WWE with one word thus far it would be "perfect." Utterly and completely perfect. She had worked her way up despite small mishaps along the way and had gotten herself noticed. Which, if she was being honest with herself, wasn't a hard thing to do. She knew of her looks. WWE loved women like her. Pretty, determined and exotic.
And, apparent to her, superstars liked that too. Specifically, mister Baddest Man Alive himself, Dean Ambrose. She had, had her eyes on him since her fiancé called it quits. Or well, since she called it quits. She wanted to be a wrestler and he was, well, getting in her way. And, come on 2 months and already she was going to marry him? Why hadn't someone smacked her earlier? So, she had a peaceful lunch with him that quickly turned loud and ugly. He didn't understand. But Dean, a fellow wrestler, he'd understand perfectly and she'll understand him. Coworkers feared him but she didn't. She found his lack of remorse to be interesting and frankly the belt around his waist was also quite eye catching.
So she figured she could try and flirt with him and see where things would go. That's what drove her to even give the man her phone number. That and knowing that maybe, just maybe, he could get her a bit further in her career. Divas getting screen time was vital, she realized that quickly, and she's ready to do what she has to do. Even if it mean she'd have to maybe get comfy with a wrestler and see where things can go from there.
She wasn't heartless, no she was just smart. She hadn't just blindly chosen Dean for this. No, she had attraction to him. She made sure she had that because sure she could use his fame for herself but she wanted to make sure she liked it while she did it. Granted, a relationship wasn't what she was after but she knew a quick hit and quit wouldn't get her anywhere so she had decided to do this carefully. Keep him interested for a few weeks; use those weeks to hint at her want for more time but not give him anything just yet. And then he'll have to tell Hunter about her need to be on TV more and get a storyline.
Then, if he was lucky, she'll give her all to him and maybe they'll get a storyline together. A storyline with thee Dean Ambrose would all but ump up her popularity in the WWE Universe. Maybe they could be a power couple and she'll be invincible. Even more invincible than The Shield's current girl. Katherine…no that didn't sound right. Was it Kathy…? Whatever. Eva thought.
Eva brought a manicured hand through her fiery red locks as she placed her other hand on the door of the Diva's locker room. Pushing it open she was greeted with the sight of her fellow Total Diva's co-stars talking away.
"Hey bitches." Eva greeted, letting the door close behind her as she walked to her cubby. A chorus of hellos were spoken her way as she dug her hands into her bag and fished out her ring gear.
"Hey Eva." JoJo greeted happily as she made her way to her bag. Eva smiled at JoJo briefly. A quick thought of her past friendship with the young woman worked its way into her mind. It was nice until JoJo decided to become immature and grow jealous of Eva. But she figured that was the name of the game. It wasn't her fault JoJo couldn't seem to get attention by anyone for longer than 5 minutes but she wasn't ever going to say that out loud of course.
"How are you?" JoJo asked as she sat on the bench still in her street clothes. Poor girl, maybe she'd be in ring gear by now if she hadn't decided to work in NXT more than the main roster.
"I'm good…great actually." Eva answered as she slipped her foot into her boots.
"Is it because of Dean?" JoJo sing-songed as she poked at Eva's side.
"JoJo! Shush!" Eva whined exasperatedly. "And yes. We've been talking more. He says he wants to take me out."
JoJo raised her eyebrows in excitement as she grinned at Eva. It made JoJo's childlike features seem even more youthful. Shame looks like that don't make it here. Eva thought before deciding to play along with JoJo's excitement and letting out a giggle of her own.
"You said yeah, right?" JoJo asked.
"Of course." Eva answered nonchalantly. "After Smackdown he's taking me out to the bar."
"The bar?" JoJo made a face as she spoke it.
"Yeah." Eva rolled her eyes. "You wouldn't understand, minor. It's something casual."
JoJo stuck her tongue out at minor before standing up and shrugging. "Well…let me know how it goes, alright?"
"Sure."
"I'll see you later; gonna go hang out with Naomi for a while." JoJo waved as she walked out of the locker room.
Eva made her way to the mirror, passing by The Bellas and Natalya speaking enthusiastically about something Eva couldn't find herself being interested in. Any other day she'd gladly jump in and inhale all the gossip she could but tonight she had other things in mind.
She ran a brush through her red hair as she smiled at her reflection. She knew at some point she'll be able to brag about her time with Dean and get everyone in the locker room jealous of her being with such a high demand character like Brie and Nikki were. Dean Ambrose was her ticket to everything in WWE and she was his ticket to a good time.
And, as if Dean could read her mind, his name flashed with a text on her phone.
Can't wait to see you tonight doll face.
Eva smiled at that, placing the brush on the sink as she quickly texted him back.
Same here cutie.
"Eva!" A voice called behind her, she turned around to see Natalya standing with her arms crossed with the Bellas behind her.
"What's up?" Eva answered, trying to sound chipper as they had smiles on their faces.
"We were thinking about training before our match together." Natalya spoke. "And since you're part of this match we think you should come with us."
Eva looked between the three before nodding. "Yeah, sure." She said as she took her brush and shoved it into her bag.
"Let's hurry this up." Nikki snapped her finger as she opened up the locker room door. "John and I have a special training session that I do not want to miss."
"God, Nicole!" Brie rolled her eyes as she walked out. Eva could only chuckle at the Bella's antics as she walked out with them.
Kaitlyn sat on the bench in the Shield's locker room, her eyes lazily landing on Roman who was currently doing pushups on the floor. Her hazel orbs scanned over to Dean who was, once again, typing away on his phone to –who she can only assume –Eva Marie. She fought against an eye roll before looking over at Seth who was looking through his leather gloves. It always amused her that Seth seemed to have not one but three pairs that he'd shift through. Apparently he had a reason for wearing each one. She never asked but from what Roman has told her he looks for the one that "feels the luckiest" that day and wears it.
Seth looked between the three, rubbing his fingers over the leather before deciding on a pair. He tossed the other two into his bag and slipped on his gloves. He made quick fists with his hands before nodding in approval and zipping up his bag.
"What's the plan for tonight?" Kaitlyn asked as she stopped observing Seth and made eye contact with Dean. Or well tried to. The man was still engrossed in his cellphone "Dean!" She called out snapping her fingers.
"What?" He snapped, looking up at her.
"Stop texting the Little Mermaid!" Kaitlyn exclaimed as she rolled her eyes. "You guys are in the same building, just go find her."
"Nah. I'll be seeing her later tonight." Dean spoke confidently; quickly gaining the attention of his team mates –especially Seth Rollins.
"Dude!" Seth exclaimed with a sideways grin working on his face. "You're finally going to hit that?"
"Oh my god, guys really talk like that?" Kaitlyn asked, looking between the two.
"Yeah." Seth shrugged. "Don't be surprised, even your boy toy Roro spoke like that."
Kaitlyn looked over at Roman who merely shrugged. "What? I'm a guy, babe." Roman said as he sat up from his pushup position
"Whatever." Kaitlyn shook her head before looking over at Dean. "What are we doing tonight…for the show?"
"Screw the show right now!" Seth waved off. "Where are you taking her, man? Trying to go in for the kill?"
Kaitlyn gave an incredulous look to Roman. "He's worse than a girl!" She said, causing Roman to let out a laugh.
"That's why he's the first Diva of the group." Roman joked.
"I can hear you two, ya know." Seth cut in.
"I'm taking her to the bar." Dean said, answering Seth's earlier question. "I'm not going in for the kill or whatever just yet. You have to work into these things, Seth."
"I thought you were Mr. Hit-It-And-Quit-It. Always got the girl the first night." Seth raised an eyebrow.
"I still am but, she wants to take things slow. So I will." Dean shrugged. "I'm not one to rush the ladies."
Seth nodded at that. Despite being the kind of guy Dean was Kaitlyn could respect that he never pushed himself on any girl he would hook up with. He would always make sure the girl was interested and comfortable. He's still classified as a player of course, but he was a respectful one. One that knew how to play the game and remembered the rightful rules. But, Kaitlyn was tired of hearing of his plans with Eva. She didn't know what exactly her problem with the red haired woman was but she felt nothing but bad vibes from her. Hell, she wouldn't be surprised if she was using Dean for fame. Oh shit, hope I didn't jinx that. She thought to herself before standing up from the bench and slinging her Championship belt over her shoulder.
"Now if we're done being gossipy little teenagers, can you please just tell me the plan for tonight?" Kaitlyn nearly begged.
"I got us a match with CM Punk." Dean said. "The Usos are involved as well, but it's okay we can work through them, right Roman?"
Roman nodded as he stood up. "I can take them down." He smirked. Kaitlyn knew Roman and the Usos were cousins but sometimes she questioned if their fighting was general hatred over each other or if it was just family competition. She made a mental note to ask him of that later before nodding her head.
"That means I'm on commentary again, right?" She asked, making Dean shake his head.
"No, you can just stand on the sidelines." Dean said. "We might need you after we win anyways."
Kaitlyn nodded. She knew it was very much a "when we win" more than a "if we win." The boys were very persistent and she knew they could handle them. And, the last time she said "if" she was sure Dean's head was going to explode. He ranted on about "doubting" the group and how that wasn't allowed or something like that. All she knew was that she had a lecturing Dean and two very angered men at her that day.
"Well if you don't need me now, I'm going to catering." She announced. "Want anything?" She asked as she walked towards the door.
"A piece of that sweet ass" Roman muttered a bit too loudly, gaining a groan from the men and a surprised and flushed look from Kaitlyn.
"Get a fucking room, please!" Dean spoke with disgust in his voice.
Roman let out a slight chuckle at that as Kaitlyn shook her head at him. "How about I just bring water bottles instead and we'll talk about getting you that piece later."
"Alright, we're done with this." Seth shuddered. "It's like listening to my parents talk about this. Scarring."
Kaitlyn let out a laugh at that before leaving the locker room. Despite complaining about their small bantering and crude jokes almost every day; she did have to admit that having them around did wonders for her life. It was like having a small second family and, even though she hated to admit it, if it weren't for AJ she wouldn't have ever joined them. She wouldn't have ever seen that they were just regular guys. She wouldn't have become close friends with them and she wouldn't have ever ended up dating Roman Reigns. Maybe one day she'll thank the Pocket Rocket.
She knew that nothing could break them apart and that was something that would always bring a smile to her face. Those were her boys and they always will be and that was something she could believe in.
A/N: Second chapter up. I just wanted to say that this story will have a bit of side shipping here and there but this story is very much centered around the main plot that I've come up with. As in SHFMF we just focused on Kaitlyn, we'll be focusing between characters so it's gonna be even more fun because now we'll be in the minds of different characters instead of just one! Which means more drama around, which is exciting! Get excited! Haha. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and thank you to those who have reviewed/followed/favorite this story! I know SHFMF was a favorite of some, as it was mine, and I wanted my comeback story to be good! Anywho, hope you enjoyed! Please review? ^.^
