Chapter 7: Two Different Worlds?
The next Friday morning Ashley arrived at the airport to catch the flight from the last house show's city to Smackdown! along with the other superstars. After the check in she waved at a few guys of the blue roster reaching the waiting area for the boarding; but just when she spotted her tag tram partners and was going to join them, someone grabbed her arm.
"Hey you!" Layla greeted her friend with a smile linking arms with her.
"Hi!" The dirty diva smiled as well, removing the ipod's earplugs from her ears. "What's up?"
"Not much… but let's talk about you instead!" She replied with a huge grin.
"And what makes you think that I have something interesting going on?" Ashley said with a laugh as the two divas kept walking around the airport's shops.
"You've been quite busy lately, haven't you?" The Extreme Exposé member pointed out with an allusive smile.
"Not so much actually…" The dirty diva said with a puzzled look, "Just the same routine, you know… house shows, training, gym-"
"-dates with rated R superstars." Layla completed for her with a smirk.
Ashley rolled her eyes, "Here we go" she thought, "I should have known what this was all about."
"So?" Her friend pressed her on.
"So what?"
"Oh c'mon, I want the spicy details!" Layla grinned.
"The spicy details of what?" She almost laughed.
"Of your night with him, c'mon!"
"L, there are not spicy details to talk about… or details of any kind for the record."
But the black haired diva seemed to think differently since she shot Ashley a knowing look and smirked, "Are you sure? We're friends, you can tell me!"
Ashley rolled her eyes. "Of course I'm sure! There's nothing to say, he was an asshole as usual, he pissed me off and I left him in the middle of the dinner. And btw I also lost my favorite bandana in the process. Are you satisfied now?"
"Well," Layla shrugged and giggled "it's okay if you wanna tell this as official version but that's not what I've heard."
The self proclaimed dirty diva looked at her friend like taken aback for a moment, "What I've heard?" She repeated in her mind. Why on earth there were gossips on her and him? "And what have you heard?"
"Well… rumors are that the day after he was seen leaving your room early in the morning and you were barely clothed."
"I can't believe it," Ashley opened her mouth in disbelief, "there are rumors about me and him! Why? How?"
Layla shrugged matter-of-factly as she was talking about gossips between Brad and Angelina. "So you're not denying this, right?"
"What?" The blonde yelled as a huge grin was curving her friend's lips, "Stop it, it's not like it seems! He just stopped by to make sure that I got his flowers and-"
"-You're admitting that he left your room the morning after, that's awesome!" The diva giggled interrupting her, "And he even sent you flowers, how romantic! I'll make sure to correct the official version with this detail! See you later girly!" And with that she happily stormed off without giving Ashley time to properly explain and leaving her quite speechless in disbelief for the absurdity of the situation.
"If you love me please kill me now." She dramatically said heavily collapsing on one of the leather sofas in the waiting-for-the-boarding-room next to Paul and Brian.
"Why?" The blonde asked with a laugh.
"I just tried to explain to Layla that I didn't spend the other night with the jackass as apparently the rumors said," she rolled her eyes "yes, the rumors. And don't even ask why there are rumors about me and him cause I don't get it neither. And anyway she just left still convinced of the contrary. …That girl has the vice of pairing me up with any guy on the roster. Unbelievable."
"Oh, sorry." Paul said trying to hold a laugh.
"C'mon, laugh." She rolled her eyes tiredly motioning with her hand to go ahead and the two guys burst into laughter.
"Sorry," Paul repeated "it's just so absurd, you know!"
The dirty diva nodded and couldn't help to laugh a bit herself.
"Anyway," Brian beamed, "we actually have news to cheer you up! C'mon tell her." He nodded at Paul as Ash turned her head from him to the other, eyes widened for interest.
"Well…" He chuckled.
"C'mon!" She pressed on lightly punching him on the forearm.
"Ok, ok I tell you!" Paul beamed, "Tonight you get back into the ring. In action. With us."
"OMG!" She squealed literally throwing herself into his arms, "I can't believe it!"
Brian happily smiled, "Yes, Teddy called yesterday to give us the news. You're not completely cleared for a full match, you know, but they think that a bit against Cherry could only do you good."
"But that's great!" She giggled finally setting Paul free and hugging the other member of the high flying team instead. "Wait!" She said after kissing him on both cheeks, "You said that he called yesterday… why are you telling me now?"
"Cause we didn't want to miss your reaction live." Paul grinned.
"You're so dead!" She announced with a smile 'attacking' again the black haired superstar.

Meanwhile, their 'battle' wasn't going unnoticed as sat a small table of the airport's café just in front of them, Adam placed down the book he was reading and rolled his eyes for the disturbing squeals. Then he lifted his gaze up on the scene in front of him and lightly sighed.
The blonde haired diva was laughing pretending to have one of her two tag team partners in a headlock as the other one tried to tickle her to make her let go of his friend. All the three of them seemed really happy.
At the sight of the scene Adam couldn't help but feel a little lonely… he wasn't really in good terms with the other superstars of the blue roster. Not that he was a bad person but people usually had a hard time trying to understand the difference between Adam and "Edge". It was the bad part of being a heel. And besides the entire roster was on Batista's side, looking at him like a cheating intruder. Without mentioning of course that Matt Hardy was on SD! too and because of their past together well known to everybody, the other guys weren't giving Adam exactly the time of his life. Yeah, he had made his mistakes of course, but the point was that nobody seemed to care to try to understand him behind his on-scene character. He was quite good with MVP and Mr. Kennedy but he couldn't help but miss his recent "Rated RKO" days with Randy or the good times with Lita by his side.
As he distractedly turned the little spoon in his now cold coffee, his attention was caught by the giggles of two divas passing by and waving at him. He automatically smirked and gave them a wink. Maybe this was the problem. He didn't bother to try to separate his character from the true himself, he acted just like he was used to and like anyone expected him too. It seemed that it was much simpler to be the jackass that anyone thought him to be… but anyway nobody seemed to complain.
He shook his head trying to forget these thoughts and lifted his gaze on the happy trio again. He couldn't help but smile noticing how different she was from Brooke and Kelly who had just waved at him. She was wearing a black tank top with something printed on it in white gothic letters, military green baggy pants on her wrestling boots and a black cap to complete her outfit. She was beautiful. Simple and beautiful. He was sure that she wasn't even wearing any make up, or at least a very light one, but nevertheless she was more beautiful than the other divas all hooked up even at that hour of the morning.
And then he saw her walking towards him. A little taken aback from his own thoughts he took on his shades trying to have his usual composure. She twisted her cap backwards and passed him by without even noticing him and went straight to sit down on a tool of the counter. He stood up and followed her.
"Hi punkie,"
"Don't call me like that."
He smiled knowing even from behind that she was rolling her eyes. "Don't be too happy to see me."
"Oh don't worry, I'm hiding my enthusiasm. What do you want?"
"A coffee thanks." He smirked sitting next to her.
She scoffed cause obviously it wasn't what she meant.
"You seemed very happy." He pointed out after a few moments.
"You were looking at me?" She raised an eyebrow.
He scoffed, "Your volume was too high quite making out with the midgets over there."
"Don't call them like that. And we weren't making out." She rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." He coldly commented.
"They're my friends and at least I wasn't drooling and flirting with the first two divas that passed me by." She rolled her eyes.
"You were looking at me?" He grinned.
"Oh, please." This was her time to scoff, "I was looking in the bar's direction."
"Are you jealous of me, punkie?" He smirked continuing as he hadn't heard her.
"Yes, in your dreams." She snapped back taking the two bottles of water and the chips that the waiter was handing her.
"Leave it." He offered as she motioned to take her money.
"No thanks, I don't want anything from you." She said placing 5 dollars on the counter and turning to leave. Then she turned again to face him. "And btw, be sure to check my match out tonight and you'll see if I could have won the championship from Melina." She said referring to their argument of the other day and left flicking her hair behind her shoulder.
He couldn't help but smile a little noticing how she was determined on the subject and then taking his money to pay the coffee from the back pocket of his jeans distractedly touched the bandana that belonged to her and turned his head to look at her.
She was walking in the middle of her two friends with her arms around their waists and their arms around her shoulders.
And in that moment brushing the soft pattern with his thumb he felt like he and her belonged to two different worlds and she was definitely out if his league.
I hadn't planned the outcome of the chapter in this way but i found myself caught in Adam's pov lol! hope you liked it! Next chapter: it's time for Smackdown! And something will happen between you know who...
