Okay, here is the next couple. This one is Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae(ZigRae). I really love the idea of Summer and Dolph and still think WWE should have given them a chance, but they didn't and that will forever annoy me. So, here is their Christmas story. I'm not completely satisfied with how this one turned out. Something just felt off about this one to me, but anyway I hope you guys enjoy.
I apologize for any and all grammatical errors or mistakes in characterization.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the storyline
Summer tried to calm her nerves, but she just couldn't. This was going to be the first Christmas that Dolph and her celebrated together and she was freaking out. Well, technically they weren't spending Christmas together because they were going to be spending Christmas with their families, but they were celebrating together a couple days before Christmas. Summer was running around her apartment making sure everything was perfect. She had made dinner, which had surprised Dolph when she had told him since he hadn't been aware that Summer could cook. Not many people did and not many thought she knew how, but Summer was used to people underestimating her, it had been that way her whole life.
She walked into her room to her full length mirror to inspect her outfit once more. She had spent a half an hour deciding what to wear. She hadn't been sure if she should get really dressed up or be more casual. She had eventually decided on her red sleeveless blouse and her black skinny jeans. She did a little turn before deciding it would have to do. Before she returned to the kitchen she grabbed Dolph's present and placed it under her tree in the living room. She had spent weeks trying to find a present for him. Summer had no clue what to get Dolph since they hadn't been together that long.
One day when she had been at the mall looking for a present for Paige, she had found the most ridiculous looking Britney Spears shirt and knew Dolph would love it, but now standing in her living room, Summer wasn't so sure. When she had bought it she had been sure Dolph would like the shirt and find it amusing, but what if she was wrong? Panic started to flood Summer as she walked into the kitchen to check on the food.
God, what if he hates it? What if I just screwed up? I should have gotten a backup gift in case he hates that shirt. God, this is going to be horrible, Summer thought bitterly. Summer's self-doubt was cut short by a knock on her front door. Summer made her way to the door, looked out the peephole, took a deep breath, and then opened the door. Dolph was standing there looking great in a white v-neck shirt, a black leather jacket, and a pair of nice blue jeans. Summer smiled as she took the flowers that he handed to her.
"These are for you," he said as Summer moved out of the way so that he could enter the apartment.
"Thank you," she replied as she smelt the roses, "They're beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you," Dolph told her as he kissed her cheek which made Summer's smile widen.
"Come on, dinner's almost ready," Summer stated as she headed towards the kitchen. Dolph followed Summer to the kitchen and watched as she put the roses into a vase. Dolph felt his stomach rumble as he took in all the food. Everything smelt great and he couldn't wait to eat Summer's cooking.
"Are you hungry?" Summer asked him as she walked past him to place the vase on her small dinner table.
"Starving," Dolph responded as he came up behind her and hugged her. Summer leaned into him and sighed. She loved being in Dolph's arms.
"Did I mention already, that you look beautiful tonight?" Dolph asked as Summer turned in his arms.
"Yes, you did mention that and thank you," Summer answered him before placing a quick peck on his lips, "Now, sit down and I'll bring the food out."
"You don't want any help?" Dolph asked as he followed her.
"No, you sit," Summer ordered as she tried to shove him back towards the table. Dolph laughed at her attempt to shove him. Summer gave him a look before he lifted his hands in surrender and headed back to the table. Summer brought the dinner to the table, and they both sat down, and began to eat.
OoOoOo
"That was so good," Dolph complimented Summer for what felt like the billionth time, "Thank you for the dinner."
"You're very welcome," Summer said as she handed him his glass of wine. She sat down beside him and sipped her own glass as she snuggled close to him.
"This is nice," Dolph whispered as ran his hand up and down Summer's arm. Summer could feel goosebumps start to rise on her arm from the sensation.
"What's that?" Dolph asked. Summer looked at him before looking to see what he was looking at. Summer's eyes widened as she saw that he had noticed the present.
"That would be a present," Summer paused as she sat up and placed her wine glass on the coffee table, "for you."
"For me? Give it here," Dolph said as he looked eager to get his present.
"Okay," Summer said as she got off the couch to grab the gift. She handed the gift to Dolph and sat down beside him. She watched him closely as he unwrapped the present. Dolph tore the wrapping paper off and opened the box. He lifted the shirt out of the box and began to laugh. Summer wasn't sure if his laugh was because he liked it or if he thought it was stupid, but she felt her nerves almost suffocate her.
"Do you like it?" she asked him needing to know how he felt.
"This is the most ridiculous Britney shirt I've ever seen," he told her with a chuckle which made Summer instantly regret getting the shirt.
"I'm sorry," she apologized.
"Sorry? For what?" Dolph asked confused.
"For this stupid gift," Summer answered him.
"Stupid? This isn't stupid," He told her, "It's hilarious and I love it." At those words Summer looked up at him not sure if she had heard him right.
"You love it?" Summer questioned him.
"Yes, in fact," Dolph paused as he took his shirt off and then put the Britney shirt on. Summer tried hard not to burst into laughter, but was failing miserably. The sight of Dolph in a purple and pink tie-dyed Britney Spears shirt was just too much for Summer.
"I knew I could pull off anything," Dolph gloated as he started striking poses which just made Summer laugh more.
"You're a dork," Summer joked.
"Yes, I am," Dolph stated as he pulled Summer to him and hugged her, "Thank you for this. I do love it and maybe I can try to figure out a way to wear this on TV."
"That'll never happen," Summer said as she leaned her head against Dolph's shoulder.
"Is that a challenge?" Dolph inquired.
"Maybe," Summer replied.
"You just wait, Summer, within a month I'm going to be on Raw or Smackdown with this shirt on," Dolph swore.
"Okay, you have one month to pop up on TV with this shirt on," Summer challenged.
"Deal," Dolph stated as he held his hand out. Summer giggled before shaking his hand.
"Now, it's time for you to open your present," Dolph announced as he disentangled himself from Summer and reached into his coat, that was lying on the couch's armrest. He pulled out a package from the pocket. He handed it to Summer and she quickly opened it. It was a silver chain with a sun charm attached to it and Summer's eyes enlarged.
"Oh, Dolph, it's beautiful," Summer said as she took the necklace out of the box. Dolph took the chain from her and Summer turned so that he could put it on her.
"So, I take it you like it?" Dolph guessed as Summer turned back towards him.
"Yes, I love it," Summer replied, "But why the sun charm?"
"Well, because you're name is Summer and summer has to do with the sun and heat. The other reason I chose the sun is because the sun is bright and that's how I think of you." Summer smiled warmly at Dolph. It was the most touching gift she had ever recieved. Most people would be surprised that Summer would like something so simple since most thought she was really superficial, but she wasn't. Sure, she liked nice things, but that wasn't what was important to Summer.
"It's perfect," Summer murmured as she played with the chain, "Thank you." She leaned over and gave Dolph a quick kiss.
"No problem," Dolph replied, "And thank you again for my shirt and the delicious meal."
"You're welcome," Summer said as she wrapped her arms around him, "Even though my shirt seems kind of stupid now that I've seen how much thought you put into my necklace."
"Hey," Dolph grabbed her hands and made her look at him, "It doesn't matter what you get me. As long as it comes from you, I'll love it." Dolph kissed her at that moment and Summer felt herself get lost in the kiss. After a bit they pulled away to catch their breath and Summer leaned her forehead against Dolph's.
"Merry Christmas, Dolph."
"Merry Christmas, Summer."
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this. I'd like to write more Dolph and Summer in the future. Hopefully, I'll be able to come up with a story idea for them sometime sooner rather than later. Please leave a review and tell me what you thought.
