All Bets Are On
Chapter Two
A roar of laughter came from a group of 18 men seated around a slightly too small table- every single one of them had a beer in hand. Not all of them got along, but it was a small sacrifice to pay for a bit of privacy and a laugh- every single one of them was willing to put aside their issues for the moment. Besides, with so many of them there, if one didn't want to talk to someone they didn't like, they didn't have to.
The table was headed by a group of five people, Randy Orton, John Cena, Ted DiBiase Jr, Hunter and Dave Batista who were all chatting amongst themselves. Dave seemed to be talking excitedly and Randy was nodding his head a little while the other three looked sceptical. That's when Dave stood up.
Just his large frame standing garnered everyone's attention and everyone in the room went silent. "Alright guys," Dave started, sipping his beer before placing it down on the table. "Has everyone already been introduced to Brecht?"
For the most part there was a general assent around the table. The people there, the majority of them anyway, had already met Brecht as she had been backstage quite a few times. In fact she got along famously with not only Batista, Cena, DiBiase Jr and Hunter but also Jay (or Christian). She was also fairly close with Nick (Dolph Ziggler) and John Morrison. That was just out of the group of men that were in the room, seeing as she got along with all of the boys from Carolina as well as Punk quite well.
"Well in that case, all of you know she's the newest addition to the divas." There was a slight rumble in response to this statement and Dave cleared his throat, "And we all know it's become a bit of a tradition to do some kind of hazing…" Again there was agreement from the crowd. The man smirked a bit now, knowing he was just about to give Randy the hardest bet of his life- he was quite confident he knew Brecht well enough to know that she would not give the 'Lady Killer' a second of her time if he tried his pick up lines on her.
"Well, I would like to bet Mr Orton over here that he can't get Brecht to date him for six months. The next catch being he has to make sure he doesn't fall for her, because when his six months is up he's got to break up with her in front of everyone." Dave was still smirking- doubting that Brecht would give him the chance to break her heart, so he wasn't even worried about the kind of effect this could have, though the woman's other closest friends obviously were.
"In fact, I'm so confident this won't happen… that I'm willing to lay a thousand bucks on it. Are you guys?"
There was quiet chatter for the moment, some looked concerned whether it be about Brecht or there money depended on which person. Eventually everyone agreed, seeing as Dave was close to her and he was willing to put his money on the line like this. "Good! Now lets have another round!"
When people shifted to go and get their beers, he smirked at Orton and sat to jot down everyone's names. "You've got your work cut out for you boy." He assured him, not paying attention to what Orton said next, busy writing.
His own name came neatly first…
Dave Batista
Ted DiBiase
Hunter
John Cena
Carlito
Cody Rhodes
Jamie Noble
MVP
Brian Kendrick
Mike Miz
Nick/Dolph
Adam/Edge
John M
Shelton Benjamin
Jack Swagger
Anthony/Santino
His only assurance that Brecht wouldn't murder him if she found out is that he would split the money with her when they won. He doubted that Orton could pull this off- obviously everyone in the room did. Even with the way Randy seemed to make girls fall at his feet… Dave knew Brecht was different.
If only he'd known about the other bet, perhaps he wouldn't have made his own.
Brecht, whilst she got along well with some of the people on this room, did not get along with others. She and Jamie Noble seemed to be the worst, glaring daggers at one another whenever they were in the same room for some unknown reason. If there even was one, nobody- including Ted and Hunter, knew about it. She also didn't seem to get along with Jack Swagger, the two were notorious for flinging insults at one another and not in a friendly, only joking sort of manner.
She didn't really talk to Carlito, Brian, Adam, Shelton or Santino so she didn't really have much of an opinion on them, no point judging someone you don't know she had thought. She didn't really talk to Mike 'The Miz' a lot either, but she knew more about him since she was friends with Morrison and the two tended to spend a lot of time together.
She wasn't very close with Cody, but she didn't have a problem with him either, since he was pretty close with Ted and she obviously spent a lot of time with Ted. If she wasn't with him she'd be somewhere with Cena, Hunter or Batista, or sometimes Jay. Maybe even one of the boys from North Carolina. She had also struck up a surprising friendship with Nick/Dolph and often talked to him when she needed someone outside of a situation to speak with.
She had plenty of people to turn to if she ever needed them.
Then there was Randy. It wasn't that she didn't like Randy, she just hadn't talked to him a lot. Even though he spent a lot of time around the people she considered her best friends, she really hadn't had a chance to just talk to Randy. Now she'd finally have the chance to draw her own conclusions.
Authors Note: I hope you enjoyed! I will try and get a photo of Brecht on my profile soon.
