I woke up, warm and cozy in my hotel bed like I had many times before, but this time, I wasn't alone. Dolph's big, strong arms were wrapped around me tightly. I felt him stir. He stretched a little before giving me a little squeeze.

"Mhmm, Morning Blondie…" he murmured. I smiled.

"Good Morning," I said as I turned to face him, giving him a peck on the lips.

"See…I told you I'd be here in the morning," he said with a little smirk.

"I'm happy you are." He just smiled.

He got out of bed to go to the bathroom. I stole a glimpse of that perfect bare ass of his. I couldn't believe he was all mine. He disappeared into the bathroom and I snapped out of my stare. I sat up and slipped on some clothes over my naked body. I turned on my laptop.

My divorce was finalized this morning, as I instructed my lawyer to do. It had blown up on wrestling fan sites after TMZ covered it. My heart sank. I was hoping that this could blow over silently. I knew the likelihood of this happening was slim to none, but I had to hope. Unfortunately this wasn't the case.

"You really should just stay off the internet today Blondie. That stuff is only going to bother you," he said concerned.

"I know…I just can't help it. It's hard not to read what people say about you."

"It must be hard for you to have that be official."

"It's really bittersweet. Its sad that one chapter of my life is over, but I'm so happy to be starting a new one with you. I can honestly say that I'm glad things are as they are."

"I'm glad to hear that, Kelsey," he said kissing me again.

I refreshed my browser and a new article popped up. The headline read "Three's a Crowd". I sighed. The picture was one of the three of us together on a press day, smiling.

WWE Superstars Zack and Kelsey Ryder reportedly divorced early this morning. Last night's Wrestlemania featured the two of them and Dolph Ziggler. Kelsey cost Zack the title, double crossing him in favor of Ziggler. Inside sources say that their real life has influenced their on screen situations. Kelsey and Dolph reportedly have been coveting each other behind the scenes for quite awhile now, attached at the hip in an affair. Zack reportedly wanted to save the marriage but as the divorce filings show, she initiated the proceedings, ending the marriage. She was seen kissing Ziggler and leaving with him last night. I guess all is fair in love and war…and wrestling.

"Look at this crap!" I said irritably. He sighed.

"I told you, no more internet today. I don't want you upset. Let them think what they want to. We both know that we weren't in some sort of raunchy affair. What we have is real. We know it, Zack knows it, our friends know it. It'll all be okay," he said giving me a squeeze.

"I know….Its just hard going from WWE sweetheart to WWE harlot."

"You aren't a harlot….you just aren't coming out of this situation looking like the most innocent person, even though you haven't done anything wrong."

"I know, it just sucks," I pouted.

"I know it does. Do you know what would cheer you up?" He asked with a cheeky grin.

"What?"

"Taking a shower with me!" He said rather convincingly. I couldn't help but laugh.

"You know what…I think that would cheer me up." He scooped me up and carried me to the bathroom.

Raw

Dolph and I walked into the Raw arena together as we had a million times before. This time was different. He held my hand tightly, our belts hung loosely on our shoulders. People stared and whispered of course. I had expected this though. With Dolph and I finally getting together being paired with the finalization of my divorce with Zack, people sure were talking. Dolph and I parted ways to our respective locker rooms.

I set down my bag and changed into my brand new ring gear. In favor of me managing Dolph on screen now, I had to dress a little more like Dolph. I got to keep wearing corsets and wrestling tights but instead of purple and silver, my gear was pink, silver, and black. Some of my outfits even had zebra patterns kind of like his. I was excited for a change. I slipped on a pink and black corset and black pants. I definitely loved the pink. I looked at the clock.

"Shit," I whispered to myself. I was barely going to make it to my meeting with Vince McMahon on time. He was not a man you wanted to keep waiting. I scampered off down the corridor. I found his door and knocked.

"Come on in!" He bellowed. I stepped into his office and sat down across from him. "Kelsey Crawford! Nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you to, Mr. McMahon." I said with a smile.

"So I heard about your divorce…it would have been nice to know this in advance but I think we can still make this work out. Luckily, we changed the outcome for last night, it definitely will make this transition cleaner."

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you. We just made sure to wait until after Wrestlemania."

"Are the rumors true about you and Ziggler? You are an item?"

"Yes...is that going to be a problem?" I asked nervously.

"Not at all! It actually makes this better for the creative team. You see, we want to use your divorce in storyline. Pretend you have been having an affair with Dolph prior to Wrestlemania. We want you out in the ring tonight." He tossed me a revised script. "I need you to go down to the ring tonight. You'll have a chance to 'defend your actions'. It'll be great."

"Okay that all sounds good. I can make this work, my private life has always crossed onto the on screen WWE universe anyways. I'm used to it."

"'Atta girl! Now you'll get to relish in all the boos! You and Dolph drew a lot of heat last night. It was fantastic. You are a surprisingly great heel."

"Thank you Mr. McMahon. I appreciate it."

"No problem at all. Well that's all I wanted to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll be on my way then." I got up and headed towards the door, I stopped and turned to face him. " ?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Why did you guys change the ending so last minute for Wrestlemania?"

"Well originally Zack was going to win… but after the Hall of Fame ceremony, we got a call. It was Zack. He asked if he could lose to Dolph. He's the one who pushed for the change. It was actually his idea for the kiss and start of a romantic story line at the end of the match as well. I thought it was strange but I knew it was going to go over great. It made a little more sense when I saw the reports on the internet this morning." I nodded.

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome." I turned and left.

I walked out of Vince's office with a feeling of complete amazement. I couldn't believe that Zack was behind this change. After almost ten years of knowing each other, he still had a way of surprising me. I had to shake it off quickly. I had to look over my new script rather fast. The interview was twenty minutes or so. I walked to Dolph's locker room.

"Hey babe," I said before kissing him.

"Hey Blondie, how was Vince?"

"He was good. He kind of scolded me for not telling him about the divorce before it happened and it the media."

"Yeah…are you in trouble?"

"No, he says that it works out for the best….I found out why the last minute change occurred for last nights match."

"What happened? Not that I didn't like the change, because in all honesty…it worked out really well for me. I got the belt and the girl," He said with a wink. I smiled.

"Zack requested it."

"Wow…"

"I know, I can't believe it. He actually asked for him to lose instead."

"I can believe it," Dolph said with a shrug.

"Really?"

"Yeah…well, he did it for you. For us, I guess."

"What do you mean?"

"Well last night Zack came up to me and uh…he kind of gave me his blessing to be with you. He knew how I felt about you and how you felt about me. He said he'd put his feeling aside so I could make you happy again because you deserve it. I didn't know he did this to…but he really wanted us to be together...on screen and off."

"He is something else," I said shaking my head.

"Yeah I know. I was so wrong about him. He's a good guy."

"He really is….did you seriously need a push from my husband to make this happen?" I teased.

"No…it was just the pep talk I needed to gather up the courage. I thought I'd screwed up my chance forever."

"You are adorable, Dolph." I said wrapping my arms around him and giving him a squeeze.

"I try my best," He said with a shrug and a smirk.

"I'm going to go walk around for a minute," I said moving towards the door.

"Are you okay?" He asked me a little concerned.

"Yeah, I'm great…amazing even. I just need a few minutes to just get my mind straight for our segment later," I said with a smile.

"Okay, Blondie. I'll see you in a few."

I exited the room, a smile etched on my face. Despite my divorce, I couldn't help but be happy. The last 24 hours had been absolutely wonderful and I couldn't have asked for anything more. If somebody had told me that my life would be as is is today, I would never had believed them. I walked through the corridors watching the people bustling about, preparing for the show that was just about to start. I saw superstars munching on food in catering. I stopped and watched the monitors. The introduction had begun. I took a deep breath. Tonight was a big night…and with the events of the last 24 hours, it was a bit overwhelming.

Thank you for reading! Please keep up reading =]
