Author's Note:
Guten Tag meine Lieben :D
I hope you all had a nice few days since my last update.
The part in Germany where I live has been pretty much been terrorized by thunderstorms over
the last few days which had been annoying but.. yeah, 'yay' for a very German-summer...
Once again I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to my lovely reviewers, especially
to ThisIsNot-Music and aliveagain!
THANK YOU, to all who have put my humble story onto their favs as well.

until my University starts again in a month to get myself a new functioning version :/

The receptionist at her hotel luckily was nice enough to extend her stay, despite the groaning cue of people behind her who apparently all wanted a room as well – one of the rooms Faye first intended to only stay two days in. Yet with her change of schedule she had to stay for an additional three days to be part of the staff meeting that was held today.
Oh how a call of Vincent McMahon's secretary could work wonders. Faye had to do her best to hide the evil smirk that dared to form on her lips at the sudden change of the receptionist's attitude when her colleague had nudged the platinum blonde skinny shoulder, who's faced then turned from 'no way in hell we are able to extending the stay for you' to 'you are so very welcome to stay as long as you want' as soon as they heard that none other than one of Stamford most prominent and wealthiest residents would pay for the rest of her stay.
Faye had been lucky enough to had packed enough of clothes anyway, since she hardly ever could manage to pack 'little' to wherever she decided to go – so the worry of eventually getting out of clothes was already crossed of her list.
Added only by the nervous rummaging in her stomach at the thought of attending the staff meeting in nothing more than one hour, and thirty minutes. As soon as she had calmed down from her giddy state of happiness and her grinning so much that her cheeks had hurt two days ago, it was replaced by the nervous flutter in her lower regions, similar like a student who feared going to school for the first time. Since actually that was what she would be – the new kid. The new kid that was hoping from the bottom of her heart that she wouldn't be making a fool of herself during the first encounter with those she was going to spend most of her time with during the next... well, at least the whole next year.
She could roll her eyes at quotes like 'just be yourself and you'll be fine'. 'Why thank you Captain obvious,' she had thought mockingly at the words of her former SHIMMER colleague which she knew should be nothing but reassuring, but this was always easier to be said than done when you weren't in a situation like this yourself.
Faye quickly tugged the gray oversized wool cardigan she wore a bit closer to herself as she opened the entrance door of her hotel, shuddering a little as she stepped out, greeted once again by a lot of wind as she hurried down the stone stairs towards her cab.
She wore jeans that where slightly more loose fitting than the ones from two day ago, which basically fit her like a second skin, the blue color was purposely fading already and the fabric was rolled up at her ankles, exposing a nice pair of black heels. She somehow had the feeling that there was probably no way to get around the fact that she would be someone of rather small height among... well, rather tall people to put it lightly.
Together with an form-fitting black V-neck shirt accessorized with her favorite necklace and her hair reaching her chest in soft waves she looked good. Not over dressed but simply – good.
"East Main Street, WWE headquarters, please!" she told the cab driver as she sat down, smiling politely at his questioning glance he send her through his rearview-mirror. Lucky for her the driver seemed to realize that she wasn't exactly in the most talkative mood, looking straight out of the window after she told him her destination, and thankfully he seemed to respect that as well. She truly hated nothing more than people who tried to get a conversation going despite her obvious 'I'm so not interested in anything you have to say to me right now' state.
The motor engines started with a familiar hum and Faye let herself sunk deeper into the leathery seats of the bright yellow vehicle and let her mind drift away. Haltering at the next red traffic light she grabbed her black bag – which was one of her favorites – pulling out her new deep red blackberry bold to check her inbox, smiling slightly as various unread messages appeared on her display.
Keeping my fingers crossed love – kick their ass 3 Jamie (call me when u have time)
The message from her brothers girlfriend Jamie Szantyr read out.
Faye had to admit that she had first had questioned the relationship of her brother with the former TNA woman's champion a lot and did not really know what to think. After what Faye had heard, Jamie seemed to have gotten over the breakup between her and Gregory Helms a bit too fast but hey – who was she to judge?
She knew that it was a mistake to judge her character only on what she had seen about her on TV and the short backstage greetings they shared whenever she decided to visit her brother. Faye knew that constantly traveling probably had bound them together- after all there must be a reason why many, many wrestlers found permanent companions in the women they where on the road with. 275 days a year on the road, away from the family made it a difficult task to maintain a relationship outside of the business, she knew that.
Since Faye was very close to her brother, Jamie had tried her best to get on the good side of the younger of the Harter siblings from day one, knowing how much the bubbly woman meant to her boyfriend.
And on the other hand Faye had to reconsider her opinion of the blond TNA Knockout who actually was an absolute sweetheart, which made her feel bad when she realized that she had misjudged Jamie completely. Now that Velvet Sky and her brother had been dating for various months- nearly a year already, they actually had grown rather close, much to Faye's surprise but also to her relief as well – knowing that her brother was dating someone who could keep up with him, understood him and was and was an absolute doll.
Go in there... LIKE A BOSS!
The second message actually had her laughing out loud for a second, which had the driver look at her strangely. Leave it to Mister Shelley to quote from one of her favorite The Lonely Island songs to make her feel better.
Faye absolutely loved the fact that when things got tough for her, she knew that she always had her family and friends to count on, something that was very important to her. She did not dare to imagine what she'd do without the huge support, partially depending her sanity on it whenever she was on the road. She was a very family oriented person who supported her friends with equal enthusiasm.
That Jamie and Patrick had written her now was probably her brother's doing after he had to endure another one of her nervous rants the evening before. What could she say? He was her older brother, she shared almost everything with him, and so it was Joshua who had to calm her nerves once again being the reassuring part after he had called her, trying to calm her down like the good older brother he was...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Well, Fefe, just look out for Phil, you do know him right?" Josh said after he patiently listened to his younger sisters rants, trying to hold back a grin while doing so. He knew his sister well enough to be unfazed by her ramblings that never- even after all these years- ever failed to amuse him. Why shouldn't they like her? Really, Faye wasn't a person who provided others a target to dislike her. At all. "While you do that you can remind him that he still owns me some money- I haven't forgot that bet!"
"Oh, wow Josh, that's very helpful," Faye replied sarcastically at her brothers mentioning of Phillip Brooks, "You know him, not me, I'm just the 'kid sister' you dragged along to your matches remember?"
Yes, Faye had once spend quite a lot of time backstage of TNA events when Josh had started out with the brand he now called a home – and yes through him she had got to meet a lot of their stars as well, always being the 'Little Sabin' to them. Not that she had complained about it, she enjoyed her time there very much until she got more and more busy when she had signed up with SHIMMER, yet she had always been a welcomed guest to the Nashville based wrestling brand. But starting off her WWE career with reminding one of the current biggest stars of the business that she was the little sister of his former colleague – not a very good idea in her eyes.
"And I've last seen him at Joe's wedding and that was like what? 4 years ago Josh!"
"So?" Josh replied nonchalantly as he yawned into the phone, a draining day in the ring finally tiring him out. "Joe's still close to him, heck- a lot of us are- there are no hard feelings because he went to get his fucking soul sucked out by Vince-"
Faye had to roll her eyes. She knew, should Josh ever have a reason to turn his back on TNA, going for the WWE would never be an option for him.
"We're still talking, Joe is always curious to know how you are doing so- one way or another I think he might have already heard that you signed your contract."
"Oh- oh, alright, so you say that I'm just going to walk in there like 'heey Phil, remember me? Remember your TNA time like what? 5, 6, 7 years ago? Remember Chris Sabin? I'm his sister! Now would you please protect me from the big, bad people here who are probably going to eat me alive?', seriously?"
"Why not?" he laughed merrily, "hail Sabin, remember?"
"Fuck you," Faye huffed at Josh, who kept on laughing at his own joke, letting herself fall back into the many pillows of her hotel bed "you are not even taking me serious here!"
"Oh Fe," he said after his laughter had died down "you are simply worrying a little too much sometimes," her brother said, running his hand through his newly trimmed short hair "just kick them in the fucking nuts if they don't like you! Period!"
"Hmmm," Faye let out with a long sigh, "I know, I know."
With a barely audible THUMP she let herself fall sideways into the soft cushions, her by now light brown hair spilling softly over the white blankets. "But what if they haaate me?" Faye asked in her best whiny voice, muffled due to half of her face being pressed onto the mattress.
"Oh, because that is so what is going to happen," he replied sarcastically making her whine again, "if they do- tell them that you have friends who uhm...who know how to hide bodies- that will most definitely make you the popular kid at school again!" Her growl through the fabric she lay on sounded far from annoyed like she intended it to sound like, yet she felt far too tied at this very moment than to come up with another witty response.
"Feeling better now?"
"...Yes?" was her muffled reply.
"Good! Now stop worrying- I need to get going now Fe, Jamie is waiting downstairs."
A soft "Uhuh" was enough of an answer to him at that moment. "Love you sis, don't do anything I wouldn't do," he said making Faye snort in response all of a sudden.
"Very helpful Josh because that's pretty much- everything!" he chuckled deeply and Faye rolled back onto her back, "alright, alright- say 'hi' to Jamie from me, I'm going to bed now! Love you too big brother, I'm going to give you an update tomorrow again!"
And with that she shut her phone, slowly falling asleep to the noises of the busy Stamford streets outside, enjoying the cool breeze her open window brought into her spacious room...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
She smiled as she recalled the conversation with Josh, quickly rummaging through her bag for her purse to pay the driver as they halted in front of the WWE headquarters.
He wished her good luck, like he could sense the nervousness she was feeling at this moment. She quickly wanted to made it into the inside of the building, so she jogged the last few meters instead of walking, reaching to pull out her blackberry as her other hand reached for the metallic doorknob. "Room 1030" she mumbled slightly as she pushed open the big entrance doors. This would be the room where the conference would be held but- in what direction did she needed to go she asked herself.
With a short shrug she decided to shorten her search by simply asking the receptionist.
"Excuse me please," Faye started with the most friendly smile on her face she could muster as she walked towards the blonde woman, "could you please tell me where-"
"Down the hall – the big room on the left." she was cut off by the the lady behind the table before she could even reach the reception counter.
'Oooh-kay' Faye mouthed as she froze in mid step, spinning slightly so she could simply walk ahead instead of walking towards the extremely busy receptionist. Busy enough not to be looking up from her fashion magazine that is.
'Rude much?' she thought, but kept on walking, hopefully into the right direction...
Walking down the said hall she slowly got a feeling of how freaking huge this building was.
Yes, it already looked big from the outside, but when she was here the last time she only walked around the entrance hall and the way to Vince's office. Now she walked down the long hall with the nice big windows on the right, the black flagged floor underneath her polished to shine – her heels echoing slightly. The walls looked white enough to give away the illusion of just being painted, and some of the leathery seats she passed looked to expensive to be sitting in.
She absently began to wonder what room on the left would be the one she needed to get into, when the formerly distant mumbling she heard from farther away began to get louder until she reached a big double door who's black sign next to it had 'conference room' neatly printed on it.
'That must be it' Faye thought as she heard muffled laughter from behind the door. She managed to push the heavy doors open enough for her to slip inside and closing them behind her without making them fall shut loudly. No need to have an overly awkward entrance just yet.
The room was bright, much brighter than the rather dark hall she just came from so she had to blink a few times to make her eyes adjust to the light. As soon as they did, her heart began to be pumping loudly again in her chest. The room was huge. Not exactly packed with people yet but she had a feeling that the big table's who where forming a big U a couple of meter's away from her, would be filled with people in no time.
Right now there where various groups of people who where all eagerly talking to each other – no one noticing the brunette who stood next to the door, looking around with wide blue eyes.
Faye took a few slow steps away from the entrance, not exactly wanting to bump into the next best person who would be walking to the door she was standing in front of.
'Oh damn' she thought, gulping loudly- there stood Randy Orton, looking intimidating as ever and ready to bite the fucking head off the poor guy who was talking to him. Or maybe it was his usual expression she did not know. But damn, that guy had one mean stare...
A high pitched laugh made her gaze turn to the left and she noticed a woman – who wore a ridiculously short dress – swoon over a guy with oddly colored shades, a purple bandana and an equally colored shirt, apparently rather full of himself now that he had the female cling on his arm like her life depended on it.
Shaking her head slightly she let her eyes look though the room again, not able to hide the small exited grin that was forming on her lips at the sight of so many well-known wrestlers. Ted DiBiasi Jr. grinning at something Cody Runnels had said, she saw one of her childhood heroes Darren Mathews, better known under his ring name of William Regal and then her eyes suddenly met the ones of no one else than Phillip Jack Brooks who – stared back at her?
Surprised she quickly looked away, not actually being prepared of finding him looking at her as well but- eventually looked up in his direction again.
He looked at her like he was trying to make up his mind about who the heck she was, confusion clearly written on his face. Then – all of a sudden something seemed to dawn on him, his eyebrows almost reaching his hairline. He quickly said something to the blonde woman that leaned next to him on the wall before pushing himself away from it and started to walk up to her with big steps.
"No way," he said loudly his broad smile not leaving his, definitely making a few people around the room look at her all of a sudden as he walked up to her "you know, I heard certain rumors, Joe had called me because Josh apparently couldn't keep his mouth shut- but seriously, you here now?"
Before she could even response with something simple as a 'hello' she found herself in a nearly bone-crushing embrace and lifted of the ground for various seconds. "I had always pictured 'Little Sabin' joining the TNA ranks like her older brother had done" he grinned down on her as he released her from the hug, making her cheeks flare up slightly at her former nickname.
"Man, I haven't seen you like you where what- this tall?" he said with a grin, holding his hand up to a height that resembled her own – minus the heels she wore. Well duhh, she rolled her eyes at his teasing and kept on smiling.
"It's good to see you again as well Phil," she with all honesty. Heck- she was more than surprised that he appeared to be so thrilled to see her – for what reason whatsoever, but she wasn't one to complain about it, better than him acting the opposite in fact. Maybe she had left a better first impression during her TNA visits than she had first thought she had.
"I heard the WWE has been good to you" she said smiling up to him. Of course she had followed the career steps of some of the former TNA stars, CM Punk being one of the most prominent ones over the last few years. "Oh, you know," he replied, shrugging lazily, "I think it was about damn time!"
She had to grin at his bold statement- he was never one to beat around the bush, so that was something that hadn't changed over the years. His appearance hadn't changed much either, sure, he wore his hair shorter now, and definitely a few more tattoos decorated his arms now, but he still wore that odd lip piercing and that smug smile of his.
"The WWE, Faye?" he asked still slightly bewildered, "how come?"
She shrugged slightly, "did you needed a reason for leaving the TNA other than a change of scenery?"
"Hmm," he let out, scratching his chin slightly, one eyebrow raised as if he wasn't fully satisfied with her answer.
"Anyway, have you met anyone else here already?" he then asked, rubbing the knuckles of his right hand absently, his eyes quickly looking around her.
She shook her head, making her now slightly wavy light brown hair bounce a little, "no, I just arrived, I didn't exactly wanted to jump into the middle of the room screaming 'Hey, I'm the new girl, nice to meet ya'll' "
"Well that would have been fun!" he said with a grin, but quickly held his hands up in defeat as she gave him her best 'oh, really?'- look. "Right, I can already introduce you to that lady over there though," he said as he guided them towards the blonde he had talked to before, and who had been watching them with a raised eyebrow from her secure position near the wall.
"This is my girlfriend, Beth Carolan" Phil said as they reached the slightly taller woman, the smile on his lips widen even more, "or- Beth Pheonix depending on when you are asking her that!"
Faye swallowed slightly and tried her best not to be starstruck as she shook Beth's offered hand despite the rather strong handshake she received. Of course she knew who Beth Pheonix was. Heck, this woman could probably beat up half of the male rooster of the WWE if she wanted to, not even mentioning the woman's division.
"Beth, this is Faye," Phil introduced her with putting his hand on her shoulder, "she's the new one Joe mentioned!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Faye exclaimed with a broad grin, not really caring that she only got a rather tight smile in return – this was Beth fucking Pheonix. Her face probably dared to split in half at any second because she couldn't help but smile. If she ever needed reason to watch the WWE woman's division on television, it always had been this woman. The Glamazon. 154 lbs of muscles Faye tried her best not to be intimidated with as she stood right next to her.
And someone who was apparently dating none other than Phillip Brooks himself.
Now, Faye didn't know him that well, but she had heard enough rumors of him having a longer list of lovers that Santa was having names on his naughty and nice list combined. Chiseled features, a boyish charm combined with a lot of tattoos seemed to work wonders on many women- but hey, he seemed rather smitten with the blonde woman next to him. And Beth- well, she was staring at Faye with an unreadable expression clouding her angular features.
"Where you signed anywhere before?" Beth suddenly asked with a raised eyebrow, probably halfway expecting her to say no. The Glamazon's scrutinizing glance, making Faye shift her weight from one foot onto the other yet she met her gaze confidently.
"Yes, I was actually. I've been with SHIMMER for the last 3 years to be honest and with the Ohio independent Circuit two, almost three years before that" she replied and suddenly watched Beth's expression lighten up at the mentioning of her former home-brand.
"SHIMMER? That's good!" the taller blond smiled, nudging her boyfriends shoulder slightly, who had been watching the interaction between the two women in front of him silently, "mean's she can wrestle!"
Phil just shrugged lazily, putting an arm around his girlfriend's shoulder. "Ahhh you know," he drawled purposely, scratching the back of his head with the hand that wasn't securely attached to the hip of the blonde woman next to him, "I haven't expected anything less really!"
He shrugged again as Beth looked up to him in question.
"Her brother is one of TNA's finest," Phil explained with his trademark grin that hadn't change ever since she had last seen him. Faye's gaze dropped again as she felt the tip of her ears heat up again. 'So much for not bringing up Josh' she thought as she tilted her head with a small, awkward smile on her lips. "I remember her being backstage at TNA events a lot ever since Josh's debut so I guess it was just a matter of time for her to get into the business as well."
Faye nodded softly. "I've signed my first contract with 18 and have been training ever since."
"Plus- wasn't your crush on good old Joe one of the cutest thing's I've ever seen?" he mockingly rubbed his chin, laughing loudly as Faye gasped in surprise, her mouth open wide.
"What?" she almost shrieked, nearly chocking as he reminded her of her teenage crush on Samoa Joe Seanoa- who by now was a married man, and still a close friend of her brother and Phil. "I can't believe you brought that up, Phillip!"
Both of her hands on her heated cheeks, Faye tried her best to prevent her face to turn into the color of a tomato.
"I was like what? 16, 17? That's- a long time ago!" Faye tried to defend herself still trying to be serious despite failing to hide an amused smile as well.
It wasn't like something happened between her and Joe. Ever. He was 8 years her senior and just someone she had looked up to when her brother had first started to work for TNA, leaving her backstage whenever he fought in the ring and she visited him. He was someone had never made her feel unwelcome there like some others and never failed to make her laugh. He was very different in real life than the cocky and arrogant man he played in the ring, which somehow had resulted the tiny crush on him. At least she now looked back on it saying it was a tiny crush.
She now saw him as a good friend. Naturally. He was a married man now. And even if he wouldn't be- no. No. It was a teenage crush, something that made her embarrassed thinking back to it, but something that still seemed to amuse others. Like Phil.
Faye still stared at him with a very stunned and bewildered 'Oh no you did not' look, making Beth look at her with something that resembled... sympathy?
"Held any titles back at SHIMMER?" Beth asked after a while thankfully changing the topic, as her boyfriends laughter had died down. The blonde looking much more friendlier with the smile on her face now. Faye somehow had the feeling that with bringing up SHIMMER she had passed some sort of unspoken test with her, and it wasn't like she had wanted to get on the bad side of one of the WWE's most dominating diva's.
"A few," Faye replied with a matching smile, not wanting to get into too many details about how many championship titles she had held, "recently lost mine though, which somehow had the result that I signed up with the WWE? It still sounds very odd to me when I say it out loud!"
"Why not TNA?" Phil asked, still not able to get rid of the smirk of his. "Surely they would have wanted to sign you as well."
"Well, you actually addressed it already," Faye said, rolling up the sleeves of her gray cardigan slightly, making her bracelets fall to her wrist again, "TNA equals Josh being there, and Patrick and- all the others."
She sighed slightly before continuing.
"Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits, seriously, I-I wouldn't let anyone talk bad about them but-" breathing out loudly she bit her lip, "I just didn't want to start somewhere and immediately to be known as Chris Sabin's sister. I want to make a name for myself and not putting up with the possible 'only being hired because of her brother'-crap. And the WWE is giving me the opportunity to prove myself. So- that's why." Faye finished with a quick grin.
"Plus, Vince made me an offer I simply could not refuse," she shrugged with a smile.
"Welcome to the WWE then," Beth proclaimed sincerely after a few seconds of silence "I'm looking forward to see what you can do in the ring, we all know that it's time for us true wrestlers to kick some butt!" she said with a wink.
"Thank you!" Faye replied meekly, immediately feeling slightly better at her warm words, easing her nerves a bit.
"Alright," the blonde said, patting Phil's stomach lovingly before standing on her toes to kiss his chin, "I'm trying to find Nattie around here, we still have to discuss or storyline. And you be nice," she said, poking his side slightly, "no more embarrassing the new girl!"
"I'll do my best" Phil said sounding anything but sincere about it, quickly planting a kiss on his girlfriends head. With a quick wave in Faye's direction Beth turned and disappeared into the now rather busy crowd of superstars who had found their way into the lounge by this time.
"So, it's up to me now to introduce you to everyone, hm?" he said with a raised eyebrow, the smirk once again on his lips now that his girlfriend was gone.
"Why thank you Mr. Brooks, how very generous of you," Faye replied mockingly, not really caring about the former 'you're the new girl girl and he's a superstar so be respectful' arrangement she made with herself- he teased her so she decided to fight back. Plus he seemed like he could handle a joke or two, "I think I will able to do that myself as well!"
"Oh Little Sabin," he sighed dramatically, "you are making things more complicated than they need to be!"
Her blue eyes narrowed visibly at the nickname she was trying to avoid at all costs and huffed, "would you please stop calling me that?"
"What?" he clearly wanted to see how far he could push her. Oh no, not with her!
"Well- that. You know what!"
"Little Sabin?"
"Phil!" Faye gasped. It took a lot of her self control not to slap his shoulder in that very moment – but she wasn't sure if they where on that kind of friendly level already...
"Faye!"
"Stop it!"
"Why?" Oh the nerves of him...
"Because it's annoying me"
"Oh, really?" he replied with a laugh, in a tone that made Faye roll her eyes as she realized that he'd probably call her this more often simply for the sake of teasing her.
"Seriously, have you always been like this?" she eventually said with a defeated sigh.
"You tell me, missy, you've known me for a while now, do you?" he said with a smile, crossing his arms over his chest so his fully tattooed arms where now visible.
"Oh well, let me think," Faye said, acting like she was in thoughts "I think I have to pass, it's not like I've paid much attention to you back then, you know?" she finally said with a smirk on her own lips.
"Miss Harter, my poor heart," he replied dramatically putting his hand over his heart and Faye was sure that by now they definitely had a few people watching them, "that was a low blow. Shame on you!"
Faye couldn't help but laugh out loud at his facial expression quickly putting her hand over her mouth to muffle her giggle. She realized that she actually was glad that he had started talking to her. God knows things could have turned out a whole different way with him ignoring her, or not remembering who she was since Faye actually wasn't vain enough to believe that someone like him could have remembered someone like her
They kept talking about her motivation for joining the WWE and she tried to explain that she hadn't been trying to get signed by Vince – it merely happened, thanks to her injury really. She knew that this was an opportunity that happened once in a lifetime, so she took it. He asked about Josh, so she told him that he was currently dating Jamie. "Velvet Sky Jamie?" Phil asked, Faye nodded, not really sure what to make out of the fact that he started laughing after that.
"Oh, there is someone you have to meet- you know, storyline wise and all that-" Phil suddenly said as his eyes where fixed on someone behind her. Turning her around by the shoulder he quickly started waving at a group of people who had just entered the room as well, "yo, Bryan, get over here!"
Apparently Phil already knew more about her storyline than Faye did herself, which was probably his girlfriends doing. Not that she cared about it much, but she could not help but feel a tiny bit left out as she watched the one who apparently was named Bryan walk over towards them since obviously had something to do with her WWE future...
She did not really wanted to seem impolite so she wasn't exactly staring at him, but she noticed the big, bold red letters forming Submissive Wrestling over his shirt and that he was slightly taller as he halted next to Phil- who seemed to tower over her despite her heels.
And to think that he wasn't even one of the tallest ones in the business...
"Hey man, what's up?" Bryan said as he shook hands with Phil who promptly switched sides so both of them where looking at her now- one with a curious, one with a smug expression on their faces. Totally making her feel comfortable...
Faye's eyes drifted back to Bryan, who just gave Phil a raised eyebrow as the tattooed Chicago native gave him a clap on the shoulder. Why did he seem so familiar to her?
"Good, good man. So listen, before anyone does- this is, wait- have you read your script?" Phil asked suddenly cutting of in the middle of his sentence, making the slightly confused blonde man next to him shook his head hesitantly, obviously a little bit freaked out at the enthusiasm the former WWE champion showed.
"Anyway-" he began began again and for a short moment Faye's eyes met the blue one's of Bryan, who looked like he was loosing the inner struggle with himself not to start grinning. 'Less shaggy hair,' Faye's thoughts drifted away again, her eyebrows still knitted oh so slightly 'more beard. Same grin...'
Holy shit.
"-I know you!"
Well, yes. This came out far more exited than she wanted to. At the same moment the words had left her mouth in a blur she had wanted to do nothing more than to bite her own tongue off seeing that both males looked at her like her suddenly had grown a second head.
'Good. Lord. Oh no I did not.' Faye thought as her eyes went wide with horror at her little outburst. Oh dear ground, please open and swallow me up right now...
Now she was sure that the people around her could probably watch how her cheeks flared up in embarrassment as she realized how utterly stupid this must have sounded...
She officially wanted to die when both Phil and Bryan suddenly began to laugh whole heartily.
Way to go Faye, way to go...
