It's nine in the morning and we're ready for tonight's airing of RAW. Wade was sitting and talking with Otunga and Tarver about tonight's lineup. Skip was on the phone doing god-knows-what. I was on the couch with Justin and Heath as I was laying upside down writing up a list of superstars and divas currently on the roster. The room was not quiet by any means. There was music blaring, the TV was on, the guys were talking, and I had my headphones on.
"JEN!" Heath called poking me. I jumped up, nearly dropping my laptop.
"The hell is it Slater?!" I asked him as I balanced my laptop on my stomach and I was propped up on one elbow. "I was doing something!"
"Chill!" Justin said with a laugh as he placed a hand on my shoulder "Wade was just calling you!" My face turned red as I turned to look at the leader of our group. He chuckled when he saw my blushing face.
"So Jen," Wade questioned in his smooth British accent "What exactly were you coming up with on that little laptop of yours?"
I smirked and sat up, getting a comfortable spot in between Heath and Justin. "Come, come gentlemen and let me show you exactly what I was working on!" The guys came and gathered around the couch where I had names written down on my google drive.
"It's the WWE roster?" said David giving me an odd look.
"Well you don't need a Harvard law degree to see that!" I shot back at him. Heath and Justin chuckled.
"The reason I have this stuff typed up with WWE groups on here is because we all know that doing the 8 on 1 attacks are getting boring," the group nodded "So I decided we could have a good time with this. We choose a group to attack, and that's what we're doing tonight!"
There was silence for a moment before Justin piped up. "I think it's a great idea!" he chirped.
"So do I!" Heath added "Those singles attacks WERE getting a bit boring!"
We turned to look at Wade who was leaning over the back of the couch. "I like it," he stated with a smirk. "Now just who will we be ambushing?"
I smirked, a devious look in my eyes. "Aww man! We know that look!" Skip laughed from behind me. I got excited. Everyone in the locker rooms knows that when I get my sights set on something - like the rest of the Nexus - I don't stop 'till it's done. AND that includes tonight.
"Well for one thing, these bastards are taking up the NEXUS' ambush time. It's as if they're trying to replace us," I stated angrily "And god knows what happens when anyone gets any member of the Nexus angry!"
"All hell breaks loose!" Darryn stated.
"Exactly! When we get mad, there are no more devils down in hell because they're all up here baby! So who agrees that we should go after-" there was a knock at the door. I stood up and in five strides, I was at the door. I flung it open.
"Ugh! Somebody say NASTY!" I yelled before attempting to slam our locker room door. A black boot stopped it before three large men strode into the room. I retreated back to the couch where the rest of Nexus was up and ready to fight.
"Aww. Look at this. The slut surrounded by her boy toys," a sly voice said, getting chuckles from his stablemates.
"What the hell do you want Rollins? Can't you see that we're in the middle of something?" Wade spat at the head of the intruders.
"Well honestly, we thought you all were trying to figure out who sleeps with broad-chested over here." said Dean pointing to me.
"You shut your mouth Ambrose!" I shouted at him, advancing towards him. Justin put a hand on my shoulder but not before I could get a punch in at the greasey haired leader. We didn't care that the camera crew was there for promo-shooting. I was seething when Skip and Wade finally let go of my arms.
"What I was going to say," said Dean jerkily as he wiped blood from his nose "Was that you all better not try anything funny tonight. Tonight, is the Shield's night."
Seth stepped up a bit and shot daggers at me. "And that involves you too princess, we know that at points you go... out of your way to do certain things."
"Just don't do any of your Nexus shit," Roman added in his deep booming voice. "Tonight, we bring justice to the WWE, and that plan will go un-interrupted." The three men then left our locker room with the camera men behind them. I turned to look at my team.
"So are we agreed?" I asked them, still furious about what just happened.
The guys smirked, knowing exactly what I meant. "We're all doing this JJ," said Tarver "We're tired of those guys doing what WE do best!"
The team cheered at this note as Wade decided to make an announcement. "Alright team! We have tonight's attack ready, and it's only," he checked his watch "9:37! Excellent work Nexus!" the team cheered again. "JJ, make sure there's nobody waiting at the door."
I strode across the room and landed at the door, peeking outside of it. The only people I saw out there were Cody Rhodes, Sandow, Nikki, and Brie. I looked at Rhodes and winked before going back inside.
"The only people that were out there were only walking past. Couldn't give us a second thought." I said as I skipped back to my place in line.
"Perfect," Wade said rubbing his hands together "Well men, and JJ, since we have everything down and set, we can go off and do whatever in New York City! Just be back here by the time the two-hour bell rings! If you never hear it, you're late!" the team cheered at this and we walked through the back hallways, still as intimidating as ever.
I was the last one to leave the locker room, as I acted like I was putting something away. "We'll wait for you at catering, love." Wade said before slipping out the door. When I was sure the coast was clear, I shot up like a rocket.
How dare they go and barge into our locker room like that! You don't see US going into THEIR locker room and interrupting their stuff! I picked up a chair and threw it, screaming in rage. I heard a Nexus member say/yell something before I heard a few pairs of footsteps coming back towards the locker room.
I ran over to the mirror to fix my hair and makeup and act like nothing's wrong. The door slammed open to reveal Justin, Heath, and Wade standing there, looking like guard dogs. I put on a fresh layer of lip gloss.
"What the hell happened?" asked Wade. "We were in catering and we hear this blood piercing scream coming from down this way!"
"Skip told us he thought it was you!" Heath added in.
I shrugged. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
We heard Justin's voice from across the room. "Well I think this smashed jar of hair ties and broken steel chair do know what we're talking about."
They turned to look at me. "Oops?" I said, partially shrinking back. The three of them burst into a fit of laughter at that.
I grabbed Justin and Heath by the hands as Wade tagged along behind us and ran through the halls towards the doors, giggling like mad.
"Jen!" Justin laughed as he ran up next to me "Where are we going?!"
I giggled again. "You'll see!" I said as we started running down the streets of New York City. We all had our Nexus drawstring bags on our bags and finally had to stop at a red light.
"Now, will you tell us?" Heath panted as the four of us caught our breaths.
"Yes, Jen." Wade panted, doubled over "You get crazy ideas, but you normally tell us. Will you tell us now?"
I laughed at the sight of three of the toughest men in the WWE doubled over after running a few city blocks. "We're going to a certain store..." I hinted teasingly. The three looked at each other and then looked at me, all sharing the same confused look. I laughed again. "You'll see when we get there! And we can walk the rest of the way, deal?"
The guys nodded as we had the sign to go. We walked down the streets of New York city and getting stares from the die-hard wrestling fans passing bye. I blushed, realizing that I was in my booty-shorts and cut-up Nexus shirt with a sports bra underneath. Oops! This city is amazing, though. The sights, the sounds, the people. We're normally cooped up on our tour buses (the Nexus shares one huge bus!) and at the most, we walk around the arena. The lights and everything were just beautiful, even though it's 10 in the morning. I finally lead the guys to the place where I wanted to go... which is odd because we're all adults.
"Toys R Us?" Wade asked raising an eyebrow "Are you serious?"
I giggled. "Yes! I read that they have the new series of WWE figures!"
"Come on Wade!" Heath said resting his arm on my shoulder. "It should be fun!"
"Yeah Wade," Justin chimed in, holding a side-stitch "You don't always have to be so uptight!"
"I had a surprise for a few WWE fans too!" I whispered excitedly. I love seeing the kids of the WWE Universe... although the people our age and older are cool too. But seriously... The looks on the kid's faces when they see us!
I leaned over to Justin. "Don't tell the rest of the guys this, but I kinda booked the four of us here for autographs. I just thought it'd be cool!" I
whispered.
He nodded with a smile. "I totally agree with you!" he replied enthusiastically. This is what I love about the guys. I could have the wackiest idea EVER, but they would still back me up. Well, maybe not David but... You know.
We walked inside and we just stared in awe. I haven't been here since I was like, thirteen? Well, I obviously forgot how amazing this place was. The ferris wheel right in the center was amazing. Everything here was just so... big!
"You guys the Nexus?" a young store attendant asked us. We turned to face her. A pretty girl, brown hair wavily falling onto the shoulders of her Toys R Us shirt.
"Yes we are ma'am!" Heath said as he stepped forward.
The girl blushed. "Right this way! There's an entire WWE section up and to the right. At the end, there's a table for you guys." she said, leading us up an escalator. Heath was striking up a serious conversation with her, both smiling as Justin, Wade and I walked a few paces behind them.
"He seems to be getting along with her pretty well," Wade said with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes. "A little too well for a member of the Nexus! We typically don't get along too well with 'outsiders' as you put it!" Wade rolled his eyes.
"You always WERE a sassy little minx now, weren't you?" he replied with a smirk.
"That she was," said Justin from my other side "And she still is!" The Toys R Us attendant- Felicity, according to her name tag- showed us to our table, where WWE fans were already lined up, pictures and posters in their hands. I saw Heath slip a piece of paper to Felicity as she walked over to the ropes, waiting for it to be 10:15. I took out my iPhone and motioned for the guys to move in closer before starting a new Tout.
"Johanson." I said to the camera.
"Gabriel,"
"Slater,"
"Barrett."
"Your favorite Nexus members are holding an autograph signing at the Toys R Us in New York City until 1 this afternoon at the head of the WWE isle. Look at all of these people here to see US!" I turned the camera to face them for a moment before turning it back to us. "Later losers." I finished with a smirk.
Felicity opened the rope and in came the crowd of people. We all smiled and signed autographs and posed for pictures. There was one fan though, she was just amazing. She reminded me of a younger version of myself.
"Hi!" she squealed once she reached me. She slid me a picture to autograph. It was a photoshopped picture of the Nexus and let me tell you, she did an amazing job on it! And who else was in the front but Wade, Heath, Justin, and myself.
"Hey kid," I smiled "What's your name?"
She beamed. "Amber. Amber Dark." I looked up at her with wide eyes.
"Amber Dark, huh?" I asked. She nodded and I scribbled my name onto her picture. "That was always one of my favorite names. What a coincidence!"
She looked like she was ready to pass out. "You... I... Really?!" I nodded. "Wow! Hey, my friends and I are gonna be front row at RAW tonight. Do you guys have any big plans for the show?"
I smiled deviously. "Oh, we've got quite a plan for the show. Boys, get in here!" I called as I brought out my phone to take a picture. The guys and I crowded together and Amber leaned over the table. I took one with my phone, and one with hers.
"It was great to meet you, Amber!" I called to her as she was leaving "I'll keep an eye out for ya tonight!" She grinned and waved, meeting up with her friends at the end. I turned to Justin and Heath. "She was a really sweet girl," I said "She reminded me of myself!"
Heath scoffed. "Yeah, only in the ring, she doesn't act like she just came from a VIP trip to hell!" Justin and Wade laughed at that as we signed autographs for the last few remaining fans.
It reached one o'clock and Felicity closed off the ropes. "Well," Justin said standing up and stretching "I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving! Anyone know any good places to eat?"
We all racked our brains for a place to eat. We've been to so many places and diners in this country, it's hard to keep them all straight! I can only think of one place to go, but that wouldn't be exactly considered a "restaurant".
"What about Manko and Manko's?" Wade suggested. I rolled my eyes.
"Wade! That's in New Jersey! Don't you remember? Otunga came out to the boardwalk with his fries and got attacked by seagulls? I like to think of it as the reverse Nexus attack!"
The guys burst out laughing. "And then he yelled at us for not helping him!" Justin added.
"I say that the prick deserved it!" Wade continued on. I looked at our tiny group. There was a certain redhead that was missing here. Looking over Wade's shoulder I could see Heath and Felicity sitting together behind the table. I nudged the guys and pointed over to the love birds.
Wade and Justin rolled their eyes and I took a picture of Heath before sending it to him. "You 2 enjoyin your time? ;) Hate to spoil it, but we're starving!" I sent him. We waited a few seconds, still watching Heath and his lady friend, before he pulled his phone from his pocket. He read it and turned to us, blushing. We waved and he shoved his phone away. He stood up and gave Felicity a lingering hug before slowly making his way over to us.
"I hate you guys!" he said in a sarcastic/joking way. We laughed and continued walking.
"So Heath," I said slyly "What were you and Missy Flissy over there talking about?"
Slater rolled his eyes. "JJ, sometimes you can be such a little kid!" he said teasingly. I took that as a challenge. I dropped back from the group for a second before running forward and jumping on Heath's back. "JJ!" he gasped in surprise.
"I just proved you right!" I said in a sing-songy voice "I just proved to you that I can act like a little kid! You're welcome!" I finished with my best Damien Sandow voice. "Now off to find some food!"
Yay! Chapter two is back up! It's basically the same as in One Hell of A Rebel, but oh well!
So Monday Night Raw just ended and I liked seeing Randy working with Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns. They're all sexy badasses ;D
More chapters will be up ASAP! Possibly before I go to bed, I doubt it though. Low blood sugars and I've seriously had about two hours of sleep in the past day. Soooo, more in the morning!
Xoxo,
Taylor
