Look who's back, and since I stupidly pulled an all nighter last night, you benefit with a new chapter! Review and enjoy!
On the way to the Airport
"Why the hell is every vacationing superstar staying in St. Louis?" Randy asked agitated and annoyed by how his wrestling buddies decided that they were going to crash at Randy and Evan's house for the rest of their long overdue vacations.
"Lighten up Randy," Evan patted his brother on the back, "they are our friends after all, we're just helping them out when they need a place to stay."
"I'm pretty sure they all pull in more than enough money a month so that they can afford their own housing for their who knows how long vacation. Why do they have to ransack my house?"
"Our parent's house Randall," Evan put a firm emphasis on the word parent', "We're no better than they are. We're staying at our parents house while they are on a cruise in the Caribbean."
"Yeah except we legally own the damn house!" Randy opened the door to the driver's side while Evan hopped in shotgun. Evan quickly buckled in his seat belt before Randy's lightning fast motions put the key into the ignition with blinding speed, started the car, and already started out at a violent speed of 85 mph. Evan had been in the car enough times with Randy driving to know how dangerous he was.
"If you're so eager to not have them at our house, what's with the hurrying?" Evan inquired as he was suspicious as to why his brother would be so eager to pick-up unwanted guests.
"Because, I'm eager to have them help me hunt down Cena and corner him at the gym. John's leaving in an hour so I have to hurry or that boy will go into hiding so fast, the FBI won't ever find him."
"What's with the, 'John Cena must die,' attitude?" Evan was oblivious to everything considering that he was in the park talking to Tiffany all day until Randy told him to come with him to pick up the guys from the airport.
"John locked me and Kelly inside a closet together for an hour and a half so we could talk things through. Except, he forgot we were in there and instead made us wait until the janitor came in for work, and let me tell ya, that guy was not happy to see us in there."
"I could imagine. RED LIGHT!" Evan was quick enough to brace himself for impact as Randy quickly pressed on the brake and both their heads smashed off a part of the car. Evan's hands protected him from the full on damage of his head colliding with the dashboard while Randy's forehead bounced off the steering wheel. "I seriously recall this exact same thing happening just last week."
"Hey, like I said, I'm not the best driver."
"Clearly." The rest of the drive went a bit more smoothly as Evan opted to look out for red lights rather than look out the window. It was silent for a while until Evan brought up something. "So are you and Kelly BFFS again or what?"
"Well, not really. We're friends again and I'm semi-forgiven, but I have to rework my way up the ladder to best friend hood."
"You're making it sound like you were her ex-boyfriend who's trying to win her back."
"Look me and her are just friends remember, always have been and always will be. Furthermore, I think she has her hands full with daddy issues."
"Ah, right, our boss, or her dad is back in town. Why didn't you tell me anything about him? Here I was just sitting there all my life thinking her uncle was her actual father."
"Because Kelly told me all about him when he left and told me not to tell anyone, no exceptions, sorry Evan. And second of all, I had a personal talk with her father, and in truth he really isn't a bad guy. He had good intentions just, made bad decisions you know."
"Kinda like us back then?" Silence returned for a brief moment.
"Yeah, kinda like us back then. Is Tiff still mad at you?"
"No, we had a little talk in the park while you and Kelly were gossiping in your closet."
"It wasn't voluntary."
"Mhm, sure Randall, whatever you say."
"Stop calling me Randall, I know I'm older but it sounds weird and serious."
"But vipers are weird and serious."
"This is real life not a WWE gimmick." They drove into the airport parking lot and waited for only a brief minute before they recognized some 3 familiar faces heading towards the car. "How'd you find us so quickly?"
"Oi Raandy, I can tell ya car from a mile away. Yours t'is the only one that looks like someone wasted a few grand to pimp it out." The Great White smiled while putting his bags in the trunk poking a little joke at Randy's habit to spend quite a lot of money on his car.
"Glad to see your thick Irish accent and fiery red hair haven't changed at all since we've last seen each other."
"Let's cut the small talk and get moving." A cranky CM Punk quickly put his bags away and climbed in the back seat with Evan switching to the back so Zack could fit and Sheamus jumped into the front seat.
"Aw, is the Voice of the Voiceless cranky about his championship match loss?" Evan poked CM Punk on the side only to get a cold reception.
"Shh, better leave him alone Evan, or this broski is gonna blow his top." Zack warned.
"Orton this is the only time I'm ever gonna say this, but drive quickly so we can get settled and relax."
"You said it yourself Punk, don't complain about it later." Randy gave everyone in the back a sadistic smile and Sheamus immediately put his hand on his head, to express more of a "not again" expression. Everyone knew this was going to be a scary thrill ride.
Kaitlyn walked out of the house and headed towards the park. She was originally supposed to go to the skate park, but her friends Justin and Derrick bailed on her at the last second. She sat down at a park bench and sighed. She was bored out of her mind with absolutely nothing to do, even though these last few days were the most hectic of her life. She plugged in her IPod and put in on shuffle as she didn't have a particular artist or song in mind. She closed her eyes and almost fell asleep until someone shook her shoulder.
"Excuse me?" Kaitlyn opened her eyes to see 2 women in their 20s standing in front of her. They other woman's mouth formed words, but Kaitlyn couldn;t hear her so she took out her earphones.
"Sorry, what did you say?"
"I said could you possibly give us directions to Mr. Bourne's house? If he lives in this area at least."
"By Bourne, do you possibly mean the most dumbest person in the world Evan Bourne by any chance?" The two girls looked at each other with almost amused looks on their faces.
"See Layla, I told you other people besides me and Sheamus thought Evan was an idiot."
"Whatever AJ, Evan's a nice kid, and he's just as smart as his brother. Evan's strong suit is more science than math." Kaitlyn just sat their hearing these two chatter for a while, thinking to herself where in the world had she heard the names AJ and Layla before. Then a lightbulb lit up.
"Excuse me, but um, would you two happen to be working for the WWE?" They paused for a second and looked at her, then back at each other.
"See AJ, I told you we should've worn disguises."
"Oh what's the worst that could happen. One girl recognized us, big deal, is she going to take out a knife and stab us?"
"I hate to interrupt, but did you ask for directions? If so I can just lead you guys to his house."
AJ smiled at her. "Why thank you. We'd really appreciate that. Are you sure it won't hindrance you, uh..." AJ paused not knowing what her name was.
"The name's Kaitlyn, and no it won't at all, I live next door to that dumby and his brother. Come on, follow me." She hopped off the bench and started walking towards Evan's house which wasn't really far from the park. She could hear the two adults behind her discussing new WWE plans, and backstage stuff they really shouldn't be telling a 14 year old, but like AJ said, what was the worse that could happen? Right before they stepped on Evan's lawn they saw a car coming at full speed on slamming on the break to make a sharp right turn and slowly drive into the driveway. "Speak of the devils, that's them." Sheamus quickly got out of the car and hugged the ground.
"Oh, sweet mother of Jesus, I'm so happy to be back on the ground alive." He wasn't the only one. Evan and Zack followed suit and they both fell on the ground at the same time.
"I know I'm used to being called Air Bourne and known for being a high-flyer, but dear god after a ride with Randy, I'm a bit more comfortable grounded."
"Totally agree with you broski."
"Wimps." Punk got out of the back seat and opened the trunk. "But I do agree with them a little. Orton, you should learn to slow down just a bit. You're gonna get a ticket one of these days, or worse." He took out the suitcases and threw them to the respected owners just as they were getting up. "Now if you little ladies don't mind, get up and take you crap off my hands."
"Yeah yeah fella, just let me regain my footing." As Sheamus stood up he was instantly greeted by Kaitlyn's presence when he turned around.
"Oh my god, it's Sheamus. My name's Kaitlyn and I'm a huge fan, can I get your autograph?" Her eyes beamed with joy as he chuckled a little bit.
"Why of course sweetheart. What's your favorite maneuver of mines?"
"The Brogue Kick and the Steamroller, they look so cool!"
"Better give her one so she can stop bugging me Sheamus." Evan interjected. "Even when i was in the hospital she kept bugging me, telling me to get her an autograph. Kids these days."
"You know this girl, eh, Evan?"
"Course I do, she's my neighbor and my best friend's little sister."
"Still bigger than you small fry!" Kaitlyn stuck her tongue out at Evan and he just shrugged it off and went to greet Layla. AJ ran off to help Punk with the luggage.
"Hey Layla, haven't seen you in a while, how have you been recently?"
"Hi Evan. So kind of you to ask how I've been when you're the one who was involved in a stabbing. I'm fine, but we've been worried sick about you! Are you okay?"
"Well, I'm out of the hospital so that should mean something, but after all I just got out of a car with Randy as the driver. I might just go back in to get my heart checked."
"Oh shush Evan. Don't want to jinx that now would we?"
"No, no we wouldn't, hey don't take this the wrong way, but why are you and AJ here? Shouldn't you be oh I don't know, working on the road with the WWE?"
"We would, if we weren't on vacation. Kharma came back and reeked havoc so we are able to take a vacation especially since the Punk-Aj-Bryan feud is over and I'm not champ anymore."
"Well I know that, but why are you at our house?"
"Oh Tiffany invited us, you know, your next door neighbor."
"You know Tiffany?"
"Yeah, before entering the WWE we had to take a lot of evaluations, I don't know why, but a certain amount of people did. I met her during a lie detector test."
"You're a WWE Diva not a drug dealer."
"Yeah, tell that to the WWE, but she was pretty nice and turns out she was helping my brother out with some issues so we quickly became friends. She invited me to stay with her and her siblings when I said I was going on vacation."
"Well isn't that nice of her." They were going to chat on and on for forever until Randy told Evan to get in the house to start unpacking. They quickly said their goodbyes as he ran inside and disappeared. Meanwhile, AJ and Layla were left with an over-excited Kaitlyn.
"Oh my god! I can't believe I got to meet Shemaus, CM Punk and Zack Ryder! I even got their autographs!"
"Well don't we seem popular..." AJ muttered to herself as Layla nudged her in the side. Kaitlyn looked up with them and handed Layla the piece of autographed paper.
"Now what's missing is both your signatures, then I can die happy." AJ seemed surprised while Layla looked like she was trying to hold back a laugh.
"Of course sweetheart. But first can you let us into your house, don't worry we aren't robbers your sister Tiffany invited us over and it's getting kind of hot out here."
"Yeah I know, Layla El and AJ Lee right? How can I forget? Right this way." She skipped happily to the door and stopped only to look fumble for her keys. Layla smiled at AJ and laughed.
"Happy now? She even does the same skip as you."
"I could die happy." AJ smiled back and both of them headed towards the door and stepped inside the house.
After they had finished all the unpacking and finally got settled in Phil (CM Punk) decided to sleep in his room him being cranky and Randy went to do some grocery shopping while Zack, Sheamus and Evan decided to go to the gym.
In the Car
"Its a lot more pleasant when you're driving instead of ye brotha Evan." Sheamus said with a sigh of relief from the front of the car.
"Unlike Randy I don't feel a need to go all 'Fast and Furious' on a local route and get myself killed."
"Was Randy always that dangerous?"
"No, but I guess it just developed when he made that whole 'Viper' character with all that aggression and anger management issues. By the way, do you have some weird obsession with sitting in the front of what?"
"No fella, as much as you two brothas are to chat with, it isnt as fun sitting in the back where an unconscious Zack Ryder could lean his gelled hair on your shoulder." With this Evan took a look at the back seat when there was a red light to see Zack snoozing and would have fallen down onto the other seat had the seat belt not been buckled on tightly. "See where I'm getting at?" Evan turned around and nodded towards Sheamus as the rest of the ride was full of mindless chatter and an occasional snort from the number 1 broski on the internet.
When they got to the gym and Zack finally woke up Evan and Zack went to look for Chris to ask to use the private ring in the back while Sheamus saw a familiar face snooping around. He walked towards Mike who looked a little bit suspicious hiding behind an elliptical machine. He patted Mike on the back only to have Mike jump about a mile in the air.
"Oi, what are you sneaking around ere for Mike?" Mike still breathing quickly managed to let out a sigh of relief.
"Dammit Sheamus, you scared the living crap out of me!"
"Well who'd you think I was fella? You shouldn't be afraid unless you've got something to hide there. Do you?"
"No not really, just waiting for someone."
"Who?"
"No one you know."
"Is it a girl," before Mike could answer Sheamus answered his own question with a laugh, "Pfft who am I kidding, you're too undesirable to get a girl."
"Ha ha very funny you jar of mayonnaise. But I would like to inform you it is a girl actually."
"Is it a hooker?"
"What no!" He smacked Sheamus on the arm. "She's not that kind of girl."
"First off, ow. Second, um how long have you known her?"
"A day." Sheamus couldn't help, but let a laugh escape him.
"Don't tell me you've turned in a Facebook douche. 'Omg I love her, heart with an unnecessary multitude of 3's.'" Mike gave him a glare while Sheamus was giving him an innocent smile.
"People said they hated you as a champion because you were too nice, I totally disagree. If anything, you're too mean. I have feelings too."
"Yeah, yeah sorry oh Awesome One. I gotta get going, but I'll see you around okay fella? You can tell me about your woman troubles then."
"Yeah see ya later, fella." Mike using Sheamus' signature catchphrase walked off. Sheamus still laughing a little bit saw a familiar face and immediately started walking towards them wondering why she was there. "Hey little one, whatta ya doing here by yaself?" Kaitlyn looked up a little startled by Sheamus' huge size.
"I'm not here by myself, I'm here with Layla. AJ was supposed to come too, but she decided to go bother Punk instead."
"Really now? You're talking like you've known the girls for ages. You getting along with them alright?"
"Yeah I am, since Kelly is off hunting John, and Tiffany's been at work, I've talked a lot with Layla and AJ. They're so cool! They are the reason why i want to become a WWE Diva someday."
"Well doesn't that sound nice? Keep up the hard work and determination like that and one day you can achieve that dream ya hear?" Kaitlyn of course was overjoyed by one of her favorite wrestlers telling her that her seemingly impossible goal could be reached.
"I've got ya loud in clear fella." Sheamus couldn't help but laugh at this tiny teenager copying his signature phrase. Of course it was because of his accent and country of origin of all, but it still humored him.
"Where did Layla go? Surely she wouldn't think about leavin' ya hear alone and ditchin' ya?"
"I'm glad to know that you don't think of me that way Great White." Layla approached the two handing a water bottle to Kaitlyn while turning her gaze back towards the towering Irishman. "Or should I call you Stephen." She smirked playfully at him and he choked a bit on his own saliva. He was a little taken aback by Layla's sudden usage of his real name, after all, he was already so accustomed to being called Sheamus that by now it seemed like it was actually his permanent identity. Layla was the only one to really call him Stephen while everyone else just stuck to Sheamus for convenience. He was closer to Layla then he was with everybody else, they just, clicked for some reason. As one could say, they were best friends.
"I forgot to say 'hi' to you this morning when we were unpacking. Sorry about that one sweetheart."
"You should be Stephen, after me and AJ went through all the trouble of finding Evan's address too. We had to bother poor Kaitlyn here. Sorry about that by the way." She turned towards Kaitlyn who was sitting there peacefully and was caught off guard when she heard her name. She wasn't listening to their conversation. She was mostly examining their gestures and mannerisms, tone of speech, towards each other. She could tell they were really close.
"No problem, but just wondering something. You both tend to say 'sweetheart' when addressing others, and you act like a married couple. Not to be rude or too straightforward, but are you two dating?" Sheamus and Layla looked at each other. Their facial expressions turned serious and formed a glare. They looked back towards Kaitlyn and just as she was about to say something they started laughing.
"You're funny Kaitlyn. As much as I hate to let a fan down, no me and Layla aren't dating. We're just friends that's all, really." Layla elbowed Sheamus in the stomach and punched his shoulder.
"Well I don't know about you, but friends say 'hi' when they see each other, but I guess I'm not good enough of a friend for a 'hi' anymore Stephen. Is that how it is? Abandoning our friendship because I lost the Divas title and I'm not worthy of your friendship anymore." She a fake disgusted look at Sheamus while he stood back up and massaged his "wounds."
"I said sorry Layla! Really, I was just helping ole' Randy with some things, that fella can't handle even simple luggage. What do I have to do, get on me knees?"
"Oh I'm just kidding Stephen calm down. You see Kaitlyn, no matter how invincible he is on TV a small girl like me can take down the Great White like that." She started laughing and she hi-fived Kaitlyn. Sheamus just pouted.
"You see one day Layla, I'm gonna get you back one day, better watch out."
"Hate to break up the good conversation, but if you aren't dating each other, then who are you dating Layla?"
"I've been a Dibiase girl for about a few months now. But of course he's out because of an injury, I haven't seen him in a while actually." Layla looked a little upset and Kaitlyn regretted even asking for a few seconds before she turned to Sheamus. "How 'bout you then big guy?"
"Can't say I'm off the market, more like I'm just not open for business."
"Aw why? Got the hots for someone at the moment?"
"You can say so."
"What?" Layla looked surprised. "How could you not tell me Sheamus? Tell me who she is and everything about her right now! I command you!"
"Not telling. Anyways, I'd love to stay and chat, but I've gotta meet Evan and Zack in the back for some training. You ladies have fun though okay, don't get into trouble ya hear?" Both girls made an annoyed face.
"Yeah yeah, sure, but you have to tell us about her Sheamus. Sooner or later I'll know by my own means if necessary." Kaitlyn's facial expression turned maniacal while Sheamus just shrugged it off and laughed.
"Yeah sure, I believe ya Kaitlyn. I'll be going now, have a good day." He walked off not knowing that he'd soon regret not listening to Kaitlyn's careful warning.
