Chapter 8: A Rated R Accident
"Do you think that my hurricanrana is still good?"
"Yeah Ash, as I said 5 minutes ago for the third time, I definitely think it is." Paul replied rolling his eyes but smiling.
"Sorry, I'm a little anxious I guess," she said with an apologetic smile.
"You'd better go now," Brian joined the conversation and chuckled, "before you start worrying about the colors of our outfits too."
"But I need to know what shape of blue they are!" She protested as Paul literally pushed her out of the locker room with a laugh.
"I'm sure anything you'll choose will be fine." Brian concluded amused.
As she closed the door behind her, she literally bumped into someone. "Oh sorry, I didn't… ah, it's you." She immediately changed tone when she lifted her eyes and saw who was standing just in front of her.
"I know you want me but try to contain yourself sweetheart, there's no need of run into me, you just have to ask." Adam said with his usual self complacent grin.
Ashley just rolled her eyes as he didn't move, not allowing her to too.
"And now I see why you're called 'the dirty diva'," he smirked nodding at the sign on the door that said 'Men's locker room'. "The dirty diva and the Rated R superstar… we're definitely meant to be, don't you think?"
She scoffed, "I don't know you but I don't have all night so"-
"So what?" He interrupted her with a grin.
"So would you please move and let me go?" She said matter-of-factly.
"I told you, you just had to ask." He smirked and finally moved sideways setting her free to go.
"Thanks a lot." She rolled her eyes.
"Very welcome, punkie." He grinned and extended his arm to open the locker room's door. "Now if you wanna excuse me I have to get ready for my match."
"Yeah and how are you going to win this time?" She scoffed, "With low blows or trying to sneak out of the ring and making Batista be counted out?"
"I'm the world heavyweight champion." He simply stated glaring at the diva.
"Yes, but you don't deserve to be." She glared back, "And now I have a match to prepare too. Oh and btw, if you wanna take a look of how real superstars win their matches… look at my boys later." She concluded and walked away as the now irritated champion slammed the door behind him.

"You look gorgeous, Ash." Michelle McCool smiled as the dirty diva was giving the finishing touches at her outfit, looking at herself in the reflection of the mirror. She was wearing a black tank top with '100 bad girl' printed on in white letters; blue fishnets sleeves; a black mini skirt and black & blue socks under her wrestling boots.
"Thanks," She smiled back to her fellow diva adjusting her cap backwards.
"Ash, are you ready?" Came Brian's voice from behind the locker room's door, accompanied by a knock.
"Yes, I'm coming!" She replied raising her voice to be heard from outside.
"Good luck then!" Michelle said giving her a quick hug.
"Thank you sweetie, I'll see you later!" And with a smile the punk diva left the women's locker room.
"OMG it's her!"
"Look at how gorgeous she looks tonight!" Paul and Brian respectively joked pretending to faint at her sight.
"Stop it," She rolled her eyes but couldn't hold a giggle, "let's go guys!"

…You better hold on tight cause I'm want to love you nice…
Ashley came out when her music theme started and did her rock on sign. It felt great to be there to finally compete again. She stopped just at the entrance waiting for her tag team partners who joined her as soon as her music faded into theirs. Ashley pointed first at Paul, than at Brian and then at the ring as their usual routine. The two guys rushed in front of her as she jogged down the ramp slapping a few fans' hands. When she slid into the ring the two high flayers performed their back flip coming down just next to her who then proceeded to slip their masks off.
"Are you ready?" Paul softly asked passing her by and placing an arm around her waist.
"Yep." She smiled back at him as their opponents appeared in their old fashioned car.
"It's Cherry's first time in the ring," Brian commented joining his two partners and friends, "but keep focused, don't underestimate her, 'k?"
"Don't worry, I got her." She replied staring at her opponent as Brian gave her a confident smile.
Soon the match began and it saw as usual Deuce and Domino trying to get the upper hand with their strength while Paul and Brian kept on taking them off guard with their high flying moves. After knocking both superstars down with two simultaneous drop kicks, Brian beamed pointing at Ashley who confidently nodded as Paul tagged her in.
The crowd cheered for the return of the dirty diva in the ring who started to hit Cherry with two clotheslines from one side to another of the ring; when the newest diva stood up again Ashley grabbed her arm sending her against the ropes with an irish whip and then followed her for a monkey flip. Cherry was able to push her away and advanced towards the center of the ring but the punk diva ran to the ropes first and then hit her with a perfect head scissors.
"Go Ash!" Brian jumped up and down as Paul clapped his hands.
Standing now in the opposite corner while her opponent was slowly standing up, she immediately went for a vicious spear that knocked Cherry down again.
"Cover her!" Paul encouraged his partner but apparently Deuce and Domino weren't of the same opinion cause they rushed in the ring breaking the count of 2. As one of them was now trying to hold Ashley and keep her away from Cherry, Paul and Brian jumped in the ring as well. A flying super kick to Deuce's head was enough to make him let go of the dirty diva and Brian rolled with him outside the ring hitting the superstars with a series of punches; in the meanwhile Paul ran to the ropes and flied outside the ring knocking down Domino who was trying to slide cherry out.
Ashley, now free, climbed the turnbuckle till the second rope, gestured from the tattoo on her elbow and delivered the starstruck. 1, 2, 3 and the match was over: the dirty diva was officially back and still kicking.
Paul and Brian ran to her literally lifting her up and spun her around.
"You were amazing," Brian beamed as Paul took her down and she giggled before hugging the blonde guy.
"I can't believe I'm back!" She said as they raised their arms together and kept on celebrating their win.
"Your ankle alright?" Paul asked after another hug and she nodded smiling. Then her partners gestured for the titles, she did her rock sign, and with that the trio disappeared behind the curtain.

"Very well done." Someone clapped as soon as they reached the backstage.
"What do you want?" Ashley asked with her hands on her hips as Brian protectively placed an arm around her waist.
"I'm just waiting for my match sweetie," Adam innocently smiled, "and btw I did as you nicely suggested me early… so now I know that 'real superstars' win their matches letting a diva finish the opponent." He grinned and passed them by. "Good job guys, you should be really proud of yourselves."
Ashley grabbed Paul's arm who was stepping forward towards the champion, "It's not worth it, c'mon." She said and they walked on as the diva gave a last annoyed glare in direction of the smirking superstar.
"Oh crap!" She exclaimed 10 minutes later when she found her duffel bag outside the women's locker room.
"What?" Brian asked.
"Kristal and Jillian are inside," she explained collecting her belongings, "so I'm kinda banned from the locker room," she added rolling her eyes. "Do you think I could take a shower in the men's locker room again?"
"Sure," Paul chuckled, "like the other time… just wait for the main event's guys to be done and then it's all yours."
"Thanks guys, you're my saviors!" She giggled.

A half hour later the dirty diva was hanging out in the backstage when she spotted Batista, fully dressed, walking in her direction.
"Hey Dave," she smiled.
"Hi Ashley, congrats on your match. You're still improving, I see." He said with a smile as well.
"Thanks! And btw I'm sorry that he retained the title." She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, me too… and with another cheap shot of course," he shook his head, "but I'll be champion again, I swear."
"I hope so," she smiled giving him a quick friendly hug before he kept walking on. "Oh Dave," she called him back.
"Yes?"
"You were in the main event… so now the locker room is empty, right?"
"Yeah, they should have all been ready before me." He nodded.
"Ok, thanks! See ya around."
"Bye Ash."

10 minutes later Ashley slowly entered the men's locker room making sure that it was actually empty. It was actually so but she didn't notice that in a corner there ware still a gym back and some items on a bench. Then she took off her in-ring outfit and, wrapping herself in a white towel, proceeded to the showers with a bottle of shampoo in her hand. She shook her head and smiled seeing that one shower was till going and thinking that one of the guys had forgotten it on; so she went directly to that spot.
"Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed as she noticed that actually it hadn't been forgotten but the superstar was till there! "Oh my! I'm so sorry!"
"What the hell are you doing here punkie?" Edge snapped back before smirking amusedly, "God, I know you want me so bad but couldn't you resist just a few minutes to jump in there like that?"
"Stop it," she said immediately looking away, her face a vivid red after instinctively staring at the naked rated R superstar in front of her.
"I told you that I understood why you're called 'the dirty diva' but I'd never guess you'll go this far." He continued visibly amused by the situation.
"Shut up," she rolled her eyes and turned her back at him.
"C'mon, you stalk me in the showers and then you tell me to shut up? It's a little bit rude, don't cha think?" He grinned finally covering himself with a towel.
"I didn't know obviously that you were here." She snapped back turning again to face him and caught up in the argument accidentally let go the towel. "Oh gosh," she yelled grapping it when it was already on her stomach and covering herself up, immediately blushing.
"I think we're fairly equal now." He laughed while she was visibly embarrassed. "Btw punkie… I have to say it, nice… spear out there." He concluded with a grin, both knowing that he wanted to say something about her exposed flesh actually.
Ashley glared at him, her face still red.
"What?" He innocently asked, "I'm quite flattered that you decided to use my trademark move, we should train together sometime, don't cha think?" He said with an allusive smirk.
"You're such a pig." She scoffed.
"Coming from the one who just stared at me naked…"
"I didn't stare."
"Yes, you did." He grinned.
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did."
"Well, maybe accidentally." She finally gave up blushing.
He obviously smiled in an 'I knew it' way, "It's all yours now sweetheart." He gestured to the showers and passed her by.
Ashley shook her head… why among all people she had to find right him naked? And why he had to notice that she was staring at him? Ok, she was actually staring… but it came kinda naturally… he was so sexy under that water that… "Hey," she called him interrupting her own thoughts.
"What? You'd like to invert roles now?" He allusively raised an eyebrow.
"Can you avoid telling this to everybody, please?" She asked knowing how much he would have enjoyed relating this accident to the whole locker room.
"That's a hard request, punkie." He commented turning to face her.
"C'mon, please?" She hoped that her puppy eyes would work.
"I tell you what… we make a deal. You do something for me and I forget this little accident, 'k?"
"And what do you want from me?" She skeptically asked raising an eyebrow.
"I have to think about it and then I'll let you know." He smirked.
"Fine, but we make the deal only after I accept what you're going to propose me… if I accept, of course." She rolled her eyes.
"As you wish." He innocently smiled.
"Fine, and now can you leave me? I have to take a shower too." She said with a hand on her hip, still holding tightly the towel with the other one.
"Geez baby, relax." He said amused before leaving her.
Hope you liked it! I've not decided what Edge is going to decide in exchange of his silence lol, so if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know thanks : )
