Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to the WWE itself, I only created Kelsey.

I was sitting in my hotel room after a house show when I got a call. It was Stephanie McMahon.

"Hello?" I said tentatively.

"Hey Kelsey, Its Stephanie. I know you already got your script for this week, but there has been a change in direction in your story line…"

"A change?"

"Well, Eve is going to be out for at least a month due to her injury. Obviously she was supposed to play a big part in your storyline so this changes things." I hadn't even thought of that. "I have somebody bringing the script over to your room now but I wanted to warn you. You might not like where this is going but we didn't really have a lot of time to figure out things." My stomach sunk. "But, I promise if you just stick it out for awhile we can figure out something else for you later."

"Okay, Thanks for letting me know about all of this. I'm sure it will be fine. I can make it work."

"Thanks for being so flexible Kelsey. Have a good night."

"You to!" I was full of dread. What was so bad that they needed to warn me in advance?

A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I answered it and I was handed a script. I sat back down on my bed to read it.

Things were about to get really uncomfortable.

Luckily, I got a much more welcome knock on my door. I opened it.

"Hey Blondie, why the long face? Aren't you happy to see me?" He winked as I let him in my room.

"Of course I am. It's just that I got an updated script shipped over a little while ago." I said scrunching my nose.

"Is it that bad?" He said laughing. I handed it to him.

"You tell me?"

"Yeah…I can see how that could be weird."

"Yeah" I said sadly. He put his arm around me.

"You know what you need?"

"What? A shot in the head?"

"No, a fun night. Lets go out dancing!"

"Can't we just watch movies or something?" I whined.

"Nope, dancing." He said decidedly. He picked me up, threw me over his shoulder and walked towards the door. "Lets go." I giggled and tried to squirm out of his hold. "That isn't going to work. You are coming out!"

"Fine! But let me at least change and put shoes on!"

"Deal." He finally put me down before primping in the mirror.

The club was in full swing when we pulled up outside. There was a long line outside. Dolph being Dolph insisted on trying to cut the line. He caught a break since the bouncer just so happened to be a wrestling fan who recognized us. He was always lucky like that.

We entered the club and immediately scoped out a table. Dolph went to the bar to grab us some shots. As we were finishing up our fourth shots, a few fans started talking to Dolph. I was feeling good so I decided to get out on the dance floor and dance solo for a bit. The music was fast and suggestive. I was having a great time talking and dancing with some girls out having a girls night. My mood was soaring. The women left and so I looked over to Dolph. He was staring in my direction. I smiled and motioned for him to come dance. He nodded, ended his conversation and headed over. He started dancing on his own but it was only a few minutes before his hands grasped my waist. We danced together playfully and flirtatiously as our skin slowly began to glisten with bodies touching and rubbing against one another. The alcohol did little to dissipate the sexual tension.

The D.J. began to talk so Dolph excused himself to go to the bathroom. The music was back in full swing before he got back. I was still dancing away, I was in my zone. A tall brunette man danced up to me. I laughed but he kept getting closer and closer. I backed up a little but he kept getting closer. As if on cue, Dolph reappeared. He came up to me put his arms around me from behind.

"Is this guy bothering you honey?" The guys smile disappeared.

"Honey? Is this your girl?"

"Damn right." I smiled at him, trying not to laugh.

"Dude, Im so sorry..I-I had no idea." He turned and left. We bust out into laughter.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome Blondie, That guy was a creep." I nodded. He released me from his grip. "Wanna get some drinks?"

"Absolutely." He grabbed my hand and led me to the bar. He ordered our usual, shots. We each took our respective shots.

"I'm going to go to the ladies room. If im gone awhile, don't be concerned, the line is bound to be a mile long!"

"I will be here waiting for you when you get back." I smiled and headed to the bathroom.

I finally made my way out of the bathroom and immediately began searching the crowd for Dolph. I didn't see him but sure enough he was where I left him, but he wasn't alone. There were two girls obviously throwing themselves at him while trying to out do the other. I rolled my eyes and approached them. He saw me and smiled.

"Here she is, my beautiful girlfriend, Kelsey!" He put his arm around my waist. The girls pouted.

"That's me!" I laughed, a little confused.

"They thought I was making you up. They wanted me to come back to their place but I

told them I couldn't possibly leave without my girlfriend." They nodded.

"You both could come if you wanted," the short one offered while eying Dolph.

"I don't think we can, honey. We have an early flight tomorrow." I played along.

"Oh yeah, in fact we should probably head back to our hotel pretty soon…"

"Bummer maybe next time," her friend mumbled. They finally left.

"I leave you for ten minutes and you manage to get chicks offering to take you home Ziggler!" He laughed.

"What can I say Blondie, I'm a hot commodity."

"Oh definitely. We really do have an early morning."

"Yeah, we should head home." He held out an arm and a grabbed it as we fought the crowd to go home.

Monday at Raw

I was finishing up getting ready for the show when Dolph came by my locker room. He was already in his gear.

"Hey Blondie," He smiled at me.

"Hey, what's up? I said, unable to stop looking at his abs.

"Well I didn't want to wait until after the show to see you. So I came to wish you luck."

"Aren't you sweet!"

"I try." He handed me a gift bag.

"For me?"

"Yeah. Open it." I looked inside was a picture frame with a photo of us inside. Dolph was standing behind me with his arms around me, our faces next to each other.

"I love this picture!" I squealed.

"I know you do. AND I got you this." It was one of his "It's not showing off if you back it up" shirts. I laughed.

"Thanks. So, what's with the presents Ziggler? Don't get me wrong, I love presents but what's the occasion?"

"I just wanted to do nice things!"

"Lies!"

"Okay, Okay! I need a HUGE favor." He laughed.

"I knew it! What do you need me to do?"

"Welllll…Next week the show is where my parents live so they want to come to the

show, and do dinner and all that. And while I was on the phone with mom, she was hassling me about my love life and to shut her up I told her I had a girlfriend…"

"Dolph! Please tell me you did not-"

"I told her we were dating, please don't hate me." He pouted. I sighed.

"What would I have to do?"

"Just pretend to be my girlfriend for like two days. Please, Please, Please!"

"Oh, Fine." He gave me a big hug that lifted me off the ground.

"Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. You owe me one!" I said as I rushed out of the room and over to the curtain for my entrance.

I stood backstage as the show's opening pyrotechnics and music started. I was waiting for my cue to go out on stage. Zack's music kicked off the show. He solemnly sauntered out to the ring. The crowd cheered as usual. He was a goof but he really did have a giant following as faces usually do in this business.

"As many of you might have noticed, Eve is not with me here tonight." The crowd booed. "Last Monday on Raw my beautiful girlfriend Eve was manhandled by my horrible ex during a match. She didn't deserve to be brutalized but such a vicious monster-"

My music hit, stopping his monologue. I smiled as I made my way down to the ring and grabbed a mic.

"A monster? Im far from it, but I am a wrestler, Zack, kicking ass is my profession. It's not my fault your little skank couldn't handle it." I smiled devilishly, "and she's hardly innocent and we both know it. She is sleeping with a married man. I'd say that's pretty damn deserving of a beat down to me!" The crowd roared.

"Who I sleep with is none of your concern!"

"It is until you sign the divorce papers, you stubborn ass!"

It was then that John Laurinaitis came out.

"You both need to knock off this nonsense immediately. You guys have been making a mess of each others matches for over a month now and I'm sick of it. RAW is NOT the place for you to be solving or airing out your marital laundry! You are husband and wife and you better damn well act like it!"

"Is this not how married people argue?" I quipped.

"Zack, you and your smart alec wife will be working together until further notice. You will attend each others matches, you will work together, and you will do it with smiles on your faces and leave the drama at home."

"You can't be serious!" Zack yelled angrily.

"I am and you will obey me or neither of you will get close to any titles anytime soon. Do you understand me?"

"Loud and clear" I said irritably. Mr. Laurinatis returned back stage leaving Zack and I. We both left the ring silently.

Once behind the curtain, I broke the silence.

"Zack," I began.

"What Kelsey," he sighed.

"Look, I-I-I just want us to handle this professionally okay. I wasn't really looking forward to this either. But we both are getting a huge opportunity being here in the WWE and I don't want to screw this up. This story line requires us to work together so we should at least be civil to each other back stage."

"Yeah, I agree. Its just not going to be easy, I mean we have so much history."

"I know, I'm just proposing that we try." He nodded. A few seconds of complete silence went by. "I'm sorry about Eve by the way.. It was a total accident."

"It's fine, her and I broke up a few weeks ago. She wasn't really cool with the whole I have a wife I hid from her thing." I laughed.

"Yeah I can't say that is much of a chick magnet, I'm sorry."

"Don't be, its really my fault, I really should have told her the truth. That superplex was clean by the way. Her injury was purely bad luck but she's going to be okay."

"Thanks Zack." We parted ways. I was so relieved.

After the show I headed to Natalya's room for a girls night. Things had gotten so hectic that we hadn't caught up much in awhile. We bought all kinds of snacks and stocked up on chick flicks, not too mention alcohol. We had just applied facial scrub to our faces when my phone buzzed. It was Dolph.

"Hey, I'm so bored with out you! =[". I couldn't help but smile.

"You better! :P" I texted back.

"Who are you texting missy!" Beth chided.

"Yeah, is it hottie husband or hottie boy toy?" Natayla teased.

"I do not have a boy toy! I have a best friend and yes it was Dolph," they laughed.

"Let me guess, he is trying to lure you away from us!"

"Jeeze Natalya, are you psychic?"

" I am a woman of many talents! But seriously, he always hogs you! He is not a great Kelsey sharer!" She pouted.

"Yeah I know, which is why were are having a girl's night. No boys allowed..so we can talk about them!"

"Speaking of talking about boys, Newbie, how is hottie husband?" Beth asked innocently.

"Well, I'm not completely sure to be honest. I talked to him after our little promo tonight. It sounds like he's willing to be professional about working together, which is great. He seemed a little down though. Him and Eve broke up and now he has to work with me pretty closely, so I think he's really as good as he can be given the circumstances."

"I would say his life is turning around, he gets to trade up eye candy!"

"Natalya! You are terrible! But obviously, upgrade!"

"Dolph has got to be jealous of you working with hottie husband!"

"I seriously doubt that. We are just friends he's never made a move or anything. We don't feel that way about each other. We don't hook up or anything. I will not be hooking up with Zack either for that matter. So no problems necessary."

"You guys are so into each other that you can't even see it!" Natalya said excitedly.

"Yeah, you are so delusional Newbie," Beth said shaking her head.
