I hope hope you guys are still enjoying this one! I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I'll be changing the rating for this story to M. As the chapter after this one has decided to get a bit smutty.
At the arena the next night Ravyn attaches her fluffy leg covers. She hadn't told anyone about her first class adventure with AJ the day before, not really sure how to even bring it up. She brushes the memory from her mind and finishes pulling her gear on. JJ bursts into the room a few moments later.
"Hey they changed the card around again," her friend announces bubbling with excitement.
"Are we even on it?" Ravyn grumbles. "Or did I get dressed for nothing?"
JJ snickers, "Yes, you guys are on it. Tyler has a match with Dolph."
"A singles match?" Ravyn watches JJ nod.
"And even better," JJ smiles. "I'm valeting Dolph for the first time!"
A huge grin breaks out across Ravyn's face, "Yes! It's about time that you guys are on TV together. I mean, the fans have known for weeks!"
JJ blushes, "I'm nervous though."
"Don't be," Ravyn snorts. "You'll just have to watch out for the crazy Dolph fan girls."
"Oh my god, stop," JJ rolls her eyes and giggles.
Ravyn smiles, "It'll be nice to have you across the ring from us though."
"Maybe this can plant the seeds for our feud when you return in a few months," JJ suggests.
"That would be amazing," Ravyn admits. "There's no one I'd trust more to get back in the ring with."
The girls finish getting dressed as the show begins. Everyone meets up in gorilla as the show goes to commercial. Breezango's music plays first when they return from the break. Ravyn steps out from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the ramp as they usually do. The boys stand to either side of her, leaning close to all fit into the frame of Tyler's phone. They both kiss her cheeks at the same time, then turn to give the camera a sultry stare. Ravyn adds a sassy wink before they begin their way down the ramp to ticket the front row.
As they reach ringside Dolph's music hits. Dolph bursts from behind the curtain energetically. He pauses to look out at the crowd and then points back towards the curtain. JJ emerges from the back wearing her long lime green and pink tights and one of Dolph's new shirts ripped up fashionably. The crowd erupts as Dolph slips an arm around her waist and plants a quick kiss on her lips. They continue down to the ring for Dolph and Tyler's match.
The bell rings and the fight is underway. While the guys battle in the ring Dango and Ravyn do their best to distract Dolph and let Tyler get the upper hand. JJ keeps them from being too dastardly though. Any time they go to interfere she's there to stop them. Ravyn decides to write JJ a cease and desist ticket. She hands her best friend the slip of paper with as much sass as possible. JJ glares at the ticket and rips it up right in front of their faces. Ravyn lunges at her, but Dango is there to hold her back. He's got both arms linked securely around her waist as she furiously swipes at JJ.
"Stop resisting!" He yells with authority.
It takes everything the girls have not to break down into giggles right there. Somehow they manage to keep their composure. The same cannot be said for Tyler who is hiding behind a face full of his own hair while Dolph has him locked into a submission hold. His body shakes with laughter as he taps out. Dolph gets the victory and celebrates in the ring with JJ while Dango and Ravyn help Tyler to the back. They come through gorilla to hear murmurs of bad weather. They think nothing of it as they split off to change, meeting up shortly after at catering.
"Hey have you guys seen the weather report?" JJ asks no one in particular.
"Nope," Dango shakes his head.
JJ looks concerned, "Nattie says were supposed to be getting a blizzard or something."
"Well, as long as we can get to the hotel tonight we should be fine," Ravyn rationalizes. "The roads should be clear enough to get to Edmonton tomorrow. We all know they won't cancel the show for anything."
Tyler smiles, "A little snow has never stopped us Canadians before."
JJ rolls her eyes as they head out to their cars. They're all treated by significantly more snow than they had anticipated. Five inches of fluffy white powder has already accumulated on their vehicles. They set to work clearing them off and slowly begin the journey to the hotel. Upon their arrival they see the staff hard at work making sure stranded travelers have a place to stay. By now the snow is coming down even harder. They venture back down to the lobby after checking into their rooms just to watch the snow. Now that they'd reached safety the child in each of them seems to break out at the sight of the snow falling. Before any of them can really stop it a snowball fight breaks out near the front doors of the hotel.
No one is safe. Wrestlers, ring crew, announcers. Anyone that comes into range is treated with a barrage of poorly aimed snowballs. Most fall harmlessly at passerby's feet and everyone has a good laugh. Ravyn lobs another snowball at Dolph who takes the hit square in the chest. He retaliates with two launched back at her in rapid succession. She's hit by the first but the second goes sailing by her, shattering on the shoulder of AJ Styles. Ravyn covers her mouth in shock. Dolph starts to apologize.
"Don't," AJ stops him. "Just don't."
Still cranky, AJ disappears into the lobby. The rest of the exchange confused shrugs and return to their game. The cold finally starts to get to them a few minutes later and they have to head back inside to change into dry clothes. After changing into something warm and dry Ravyn decides to go back down to the first floor to see what the vending machines have to offer. Finding nothing worthwhile she wanders back to the elevator. She arrives to see a frustrated looking AJ already waiting for the elevator himself. Ever the southern gentleman when the door opens he gestures for her to get on first. They both reach for the same button, she recoils her arm, letting him tap the eleven. They stand in an awkward silence waiting for the doors to close. When the doors begin to shut Ravyn pipes up.
"What the hell is your problem with me?" She finally gets the courage to ask.
"My problem?" He sneers. "My problem is you parading around like a freakin harlot. Kissing both of those guys every night. Sleeping with them. I've seen you coming out of their rooms..."
She cuts him off, "So you just assume that I'm fucking them too? I though you'd be smarter than that," she pauses. "Why the fuck does it matter to you who I kiss anyways!?"
With lightning like quickness turns to face her, slamming his hands onto the elevator wall on either side of her head. Seeing that she's startled AJ sighs, "Because I freakin like you okay?" Not the response she expected. "And every time I see you kiss them I get so angry and jealous. I want to be the one kissing you!"
Flustered and a bit surprised she shoves him hard in the chest with both hands, "What's stopping you then!?"
As if he had been waiting for permission seconds later their lips crash together. He wraps a hand behind her head gently as their kiss deepens. His body presses against hers, pushing her against the cool steel wall of the elevator. The panel beeps as they pass each floor. Their steamy make out session ends as they near the eleventh floor. AJ breaks away from her but keeps staring into her eyes. They move to opposite corners of the small space just before the doors open. Not sure how exactly to react, but knowing she wants more, Ravyn diverts her eyes from AJ. Dolph and JJ are waiting for the elevator upon the doors opening.
"Hey friend!" JJ greets her cheerfully. "There's a twenty-four hour pool and hot tub here! Come swimming with us."
Ravyn smiles, "Aww thanks. But I'm a bit sore." She rubs her shoulder for emphasis. "I think I'm going to get some rest."
"Aww okay, " JJ sympathizes. "Feel better friend!"
Dolph and JJ exchange brief hellos with AJ before stepping onto the elevator themselves. The doors close behind Ravyn as she steps off. AJ is already twenty feet down the hallway. He stops at the door of his room looking through his wallet for something. Ravyn passes him and reaches for the handle of her room a few doors down. He shoots a quick look her way before disappearing inside. She lets herself into her room and leans against the back of the door, not realizing she had been holding her breath. A tidal wave of emotions hits her as she tries to figure out what had just happened. She runs a hand through her hair and squeaks in fright as the hotel phone starts to ring. Startled by the harsh sound of someone calling her room phone she cautiously walks across the room. Before picking up she hopes to herself that is isn't some crazy fan calling.
"Hello?" She says quietly.
"They're down at the pool. Probably not for long," she recognizes the southern drawl immediately. "If you'd like to pick up where we left off I'm in 1138."
He hangs up before she can respond. Her mind races trying to make a decision. Should she stay or should she go?
