( Should I keep this one or not? It came to me while listening to music and playing a video game earlier and I thought an Antidiva story would be a fun one to write.. Not sure who I'll eventually pair Laney with, but if you have suggestions (that are not Miz or Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston or cm punk, because I hate that bastard especially) feel free to leave them in a review. If I get enough reviews from people who like this and want me to continue it, then I'll write more.)
(Dunno if you guys caught it, but my oc is the younger adopted sister of Maxine, who I love and wish were on the actual WWE lineup. More about my oc's past, why she is the way she is will come out, only if people tell me they want to see more of this story. )
(Huge thanks to my reviewers. So glad you guys like this so far. Probably won't be your typical romance, because I love writing fights too. So there will be a lot of fighting in this too.)
Maxine groaned as soon as she saw the jet black convertible pull up next to her baby sister's rental car, and saw her sister nod.
"Little dragon, don't you.." Maxine started, but before she could get anything else out, her baby sister had mashed the gas, and gotten at least a good 2 to 3 second head start. " Damn it, Max.. Hang on. This fucker's gonna catch us.. Gotta smoke him, gotta smoke him." she muttered, her hands tapping impatiently on the steering wheel.
A few cars behind, Roman smirked. He'd noticed that Laney had a penchant for racing random people from green light to green light. Dean bit his lip as he chuckled coldly watching with interest.
The next green light was just ahead and Laney said "Fuck it. It's not like I've never been locked up overnight before.. Hanging on, sis?"
All she got from Maxine's side of the car were muttered obscenities as she stomped the gas one last time, held it to the floor.
They pulled into a parking lot as soon as she'd gotten rid of the wild hair, and Maxine reached over, punching her sister in the upper arm. "You could have gotten us both killed! Why in the fuck do you keep doing that?"
" It's a rush. You said it best, Max when you told me I love and am addicted to danger."
"Yeah, that is what scares me the most about you." Maxine said as they pulled into a parking spot, walked into the small cafe.
Taking a seat in the back, Maxine waved over a waitress, got menus. The sisters studied the menus in silence, but the second the waitress arrived, they managed to order the same thing without even knowing they'd do it.
They laughed and Maxine asked, "So... The nightmares.. Have they gotten worse? Because you look like you haven't slept in two days."
"Not really... I just haven't been sleepy, sis." Laney said as she looked down, anxious to get off the current topic and onto another one, as long as it wasn't men.
" That's bullshit, little dragon. What's going on?" Maxine asked bluntly, looked at Laney, holding her gaze, forcing her to look at her. Laney bit her lip and then said "They are getting worse. I can not only see everything over again, I can also hear and smell, feel things."
"And you haven't told me this before now, why?" Maxine asked in concern as she sipped her soda.
"Because I'm a grown ass woman, sis. I need to learn to cope with this shit on my own." Laney said quietly as she studied her black fingernails, looking at the faint scars trailing up her lower arm, trying not to think back to the night she had nightmares about so often or how she got the scars.
She never really liked talking about it, or anything that happened leading up to that night. She kept it all shoved down deep inside of her, let the rage she felt at all of it, her losses, the hatred for the person responsible for her losses consume her.
Made her a stronger person and a better fighter all around, she liked to tell herself. But deep down it was because she felt guilty she hadn't been able to do something to stop what happened, or save the people she lost that night, her mother, her baby sister.
She'd tried, and that's how she'd wound up burned on her arms and back.
Maxine snapping her finger in front of her face made her come back from her own thoughts and she raked her hands through her long black hair, biting her lip, eating her food quietly.
"You okay tonight?" Maxine asked, knowing fully well what her sister's answer would be, knowing full well that it'd also be a lie, because she hated getting emotional about anything.
"Yeah, I'm good.. So... What'd you think of the match tonight?" Laney asked, changing the subject.
" I was proud of you little dragon. You really went out there and beat that bitch down tonight. Then again, I knew you could.. And then we totally dominated in our tag match."
"That we did, sis." Laney said as they high fived and fell silent again. With them, they didn't have to talk to be around one another. That was the beauty of them being sisters.. They got one another.
" You impressed a guy in the green room too... But I'm not telling who." Maxine said with a smirk as Laney shrugged, blowing bubbles into her soda as she drummed her fingers on the table in time to Iron Man which was playing on an ancient juke box in the corner.
" Oh come on.. Do you just not ever even think sexually about any man?"
" Yes but.. It's better to think it, than to attempt it. I'd rather not have to deal with the man in the morning, or god forbid, every morning after."
Maxine chuckled, tore a piece of bread off and flicked it at her sister.
A few tables away, Roman and Dean, Seth sat talking quietly about their next plan of action, and watching the two sisters.
