April's POV backstage after the match
When I walked through the curtain Roni was not where I left her before our match. It's weird because I don't know where she'd go being she doesn't really know her way around here.
"You did great out there babe. Yoou looked so sexy." See look Zack is here to greet Zivile, but my other half is nowhere to be found.
"Well thanks I try!" She grinned before leaning in to kiss him. I had to look away from that because I don't want to see that. I know we've both gone our separate ways and moved on but it still hurts. I know I have Roni now but I don't think I'll ever get over anyone having Zivile the way I had her. Am I jealous? Yeah a little bit, but I have to remember I did this to myself and it's too late to try and fix it. Do I wish she didn't end up with Zack? I mean she can do better, but the guy makes her happy and that's all I could ever ask of anyone who were to date here in the future. Do I want her back? I want a lot of things but why waste my time one someone who doesn't want me? I'll probably never completely get over her but I'm done mopping in the dark. I found a new light and I'm going to stay with it as long as I can.
So speaking of my new light I believe I have a turtle to find. Doing an entire scan of the gorilla position she really isn't here so I have to go looking. I want to say I'm surprised by her disappearing but after the way we ran from Vinny I'm not surprised.
"Excuse me have you seen my girlfriend? She's taller than me, beautiful hazel eyes, wearing a turtle costume." I asked about random group of stagehands. They all shook their heads no. "Okay thanks." And with that I kept on walking looking for my sexy turtle.
"Hey Aj!" I heard call from behind me getting me to turn around.
"Oh hey Paige what's up?" I asked stopping so she could catch up to me.
"Well first good job out there I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching you do commentary."
"Oh thanks!" I smiled but then suddenly she pulled me in for a hug.
"I never got to thank you for helping me debut back in April. Hunter told me it was your idea to have me debut. I know it was just a day on the job for you but it was the night my dreams came true and I owe it all to you." She murmured still not letting me go. Hearing her say that tugged my heartstrings a little bit so it was only right that I hugged her back.
"Awe Paige stop." I spoke trying not to get emotional.
"I'm not going to lie you're one of my role models. You showed the world that the Divas are more than just pretty faces and hot bodies." After that she pulled away but she's still standing pretty close to me. "Gah I'm sorry if I'm ruining your celebration with my sappy thank you but I feel like I owe you one. You-"
"Shh Paige please don't cry you're going to mess up your makeup." I cooed pulling her in for a hug. I know I'm confused too I never thought I'd ever have WWE's rough and tough Brit crying in my arms. "You don't owe me anything you earned your keep here and that's all you need. All I did was show you to the world and you did the rest." I then let her go and used my hand to wipe away the tear on her cheek. "If you're going to be a diva you can't cry. Crying is a sign of weakness and someone will try to use it to their advantage."
"Sorry I.. It's just not everyday that you can say you're living out your childhood dream.. And you helped me be able to do that. Thank you Aj." She smiled. I don't know if she knows this but she looks so adorable right now. But I'm pretty sure she's straight and has a boyfriend just like I have a girlfriend.
"You're welcome Paige now give me a hug because you got me all emotional and shit." I grinned hugging her and she hugged me back.
"Ahem!" I heard causing us to break our hug and look at them. "You guys going to kiss now too?"
"Roni it's not-"
"Don't worry about it." She interrupted me before turning around and walking away. Paige is giving me a weird look because we did nothing wrong.
"I'll catch you later Paige." I murmured before following in the direction Roni went. I don't know what her problem is but I'll be damned if I lose Roni over a meaningless hug. "Roni!" I spoke loud enough so she could hear me being she's quite far down the hallway. But she's still walking like she didn't hear me, if she wants to play that game then fine we'll play. "Veronica Clemenza if you don't stop right now you can forget sleeping with me tonight!" I spoke louder to make sure she heard it and everyone who is nearby. She didn't stop walking in fact I think it made her walk faster. If she wants to walk faster then so will I. Following behind her I'm not sure where she's going but I'm getting really annoyed with her right now. "Stop!" I growled running up to her and grabbing her wrist stopping her from being able to keep walking. "What's your problem?"
"Let me go." She spoke in a low tone.
"Not until you let me expl-" Before I could finish my sentence she grabbed my wrist and drug me into a random room. "Owe Roni what-"
"What part of you're mine and I'm not sharing don't you understand?!" She snapped.
"Would you relax it was just-"
"Aj I'm so dead ass when I say I don't have time for these little games-"
"Are you fucking kidding me?! It was just a goddamn hug! Stop acting like I made out with the girl!" I yelled. I'm so annoyed right now why is she so mad at me for hugging Paige.
"Any closer and I'm pretty damn sure you would have been!" I don't know why but that triggered something in me and before I knew it my hand was crashing into her cheek. That shut her up and she's just standing there.
"How dare you! I think I've proved it time after time my loyalty lies with you. Right now you're acting like I just fucked the girl. All she was doing was thanking me for helping her make her main roster debut. But you wouldn't know that because someone likes jumping to conclusions." I snapped I know this isn't all that serious but if Roni and I are going to be a thing she has to get use to the fact that I'm going to be uncomfortably close to people and that includes touching and hugging them. "I don't know what the hell this whole jealous side is to you or where it came from. But what I do know is it's not going to happen again when you're backstage with me, any other place but in my workplace. I get where you're coming from but I don't have eyes for anyone but you Veronica. I've been there one time and I'm never going to do it again... Not to you at least you mean that much to me that I don't want to lose you over something so stupid like a hug." I murmured looking at her she isn't even looking at me she's just staring down at the floor. God this whole thing is so stupid. I'm literally pissed off over something that could have been handled ten times better. "Look you have to accept the fact that I'm going to have to touch and hug other people if you like it or not. That's what my job is, to play fight other women, sometimes men, and make a big scene about it. If you don't like it then Minnesota is only a few hours away by flight. With that I'm going to go you can come talk to me when this whole jealous phase is done because right now I'm down with you." It's as simple as that. I don't want to lose Roni but I don't have time to deal with her being so overbearing. She is still not looking or saying anything to me so I took that opportunity to leave. I don't want to be near her right now because what she did hurt my feelings and I'm over it. From there I went back to my locker room and began to pack my stuff up to head over to the hotel. I swear it's like she has a billion different sides to her and I don't know how I feel about them. She's so lucky I'm attracted to how adorable she is to me when we're alone, and those stupid eyes of hers because if I wasn't... I dunno but I guess that's just something you have to deal with when you have a past like mine and you're trying to move on.
*knock knock*
"Come in." I spoke loud enough that whoever is on the other side could hear it. The door then opened and in walked Zivile. Good thing because I'm not ready to talk to Roni right now.
"I just talked to Steph and she told me to tell you that we have to leave together to keep up with the storyline." She shrugged sounding not entirely to thrilled about it. That got me to stop unzipping my boots.
"What do you mean by leave together?" I asked because I'm not sure what she means by that.
"Well if the plan is to have Leanna back together what do you think?" Hearing that I just let out a sigh. I'm really not in the mood to even try and pretend I'm happy right now. Any other day I'd jump at the chance to hold her hand but today isn't one of those days.
"Kay." I said simply.
"What's wrong? What's upsetting you?" She asked coming over and sitting next to me on the couch.
"I don't want you to worry about me." I stated simply. I know she is just trying to help but she is probably the last person I want to discuss my problems with Roni with.
"Well we're friends Aj so I have a right to worry about you." Ugh that word is like knives on a chalkboard coming from her. Friends. I don't exactly know if I want to be friends with the only person I've ever truly loved. There's just so much history between us that if we hung out like friends feelings might return and I don't want that.
"Thanks but-"
"What'd she do? Where's Roni?" She interrupted me.
"I'm going to be honest with you I don't know. We're on two different pages right now and I'm over it. It's just funny how your past can affect your present and the people around you." I don't want to give away too much because it's really none of her business.
"Oh.. Where is she now?" I just shrugged my shoulders and went back to taking off my knee pads.
"Dunno."
"You want me to go find her?"
"That's probably the worst thing you could do right now. It doesn't matter we'll cross paths eventually so I'm not too concerned." Never thought I'd think this but I want her to go. I want to be alone right now.
"Okay well it's none of my business. But around what time are you trying to leave because between the four of us there are two cars. So it'll most likely end up being me and you in one then Zack and Roni in another."
"Yeah that's fine if I see her I'll let her know." I mumbled putting my boots and knee pads in my bag.
"Aj promise me you won't do something you'll regret. I can obviously tell she did something to upset you but you can't let it stop you from forgiving her. She's a better match for you than I ever could be and I don't want you to miss out on that." It hurts to hear her say that to me but to some degree she's right.
"I know I don't want to lose her she's making it hard to not want to give up. I'll be fine I promise." I half smiled trying to give her reassurance to my statement.
"Okay good because I still want my title rematch and you're not going anywhere until I get it." She smirked getting up and heading to the door.
"I wouldn't miss that for the world. The people want a war and a war they shall get!"
"Okay so it's almost ten now you think you'll be ready in twenty?"
"Give me thirty I still gotta find Roni and tell her."
"Alright that's understandable see you then." With that she left closing the door behind her. I don't even know where to go to find Roni right now. My best option here is to finish packing our stuff and then go hunt down my turtle. Yes I'm still upset with her but in my head she's still my girlfriend and I don't want anyone else to have her. I mean she's definitely sleeping on the pullout bed with Vinny tonight but I still want her to come back to the hotel with me. So after getting all my stuff together I grabbed Roni's stuff and put it back into her backpack. She's a light traveler so there wasn't much for me to put in her bag. However I did happen to find Harold and I couldn't help the grin that came to my lips. I really do hope one day we'll be able to make a video together and in it we can kiss and hug and do cute couple things that couples do. The one video we shot together I had so much fun and I wouldn't mind doing it every time I get a chance to come home off the road. Thinking about it Roni is my nerdy chef and she has her moments but who doesn't. After all I'm not perfect and neither is she and that's why we work. Fuck I miss her.
Now is a better time than any to go find her. I'm not ready to forgive her just yet but that doesn't mean I won't still hug her. Taking Harold with me I headed out the room in search of my ninja turtle. If me and Roni are going to be a YouTube couple I ought to get into the habit of vlogging. Turning it on I turned it to face me. "Shh quiet I'm in search of a very rare species of reptile, the American Italian ninja turtle. There have only been very few sightings of it but I know it's close I can feel it." I spoke looking into it with my best Crocodile Dundee voice. Right now I'm just walking around looking for her. "She's a mean one but what are you going to do. Huh shhhh look look look! It's a wild Layla El in her natural habitat!" I grinned turning the camera and zoomed in on her. "We gotta be careful because if it feels threatened it will attack."
"What are you doing?" She asked giving me a weird look.
"Oh no it knows of my presence! I don't want any trouble just passing by." I whispered.
"Aj what the-" Before she could say anything else I took off running down the hall. Anyone else they'd chase me down but Lay knows I'm just being weird again and she's use to it.
"Barely escaped with my life there guys. I'm fine now I still have a turtle to catch. Let's get a move on." So from there I kept wondering around until I came about a hallway full of crates and among them is my rare reptile. "Shh rule number one of catching a turtle... I don't know how to catch a turtle." I murmured. That got Roni to look up at me and grin. "But for this one I'm sure I can convince her to come home with me." As I did that I turned the camera toward her. "See it's working."
"I'm sorry Aj." She spoke softly getting off the crate and walking towards me. I turned off the camera at this point because somethings just aren't meant to be shared with others. "I didn't mean to say what I said. I just-" I just hugged her because I understand what happened.
"Don't I understand and it's okay. It's just you know how hard it was to tell you about Zivile and all the pain I caused. I don't want to go back down that road not now not ever. The whole reason I wanted you to come on the road with me is to show you that I don't have eyes for anyone except for you."
"I know and I'm sorry babe I guess I overreacted. But in my defense I did tell you I'm not a big fan of sharing. I'm a jealous little fuck and I can't help myself. You're just so beautiful and I don't want anyone to realize it too because then I'll have to stab someone. I can't go to jail, how am I going to hold and kiss you if I'm locked up?"
"I promise to visit you." I giggled looking up at her and she's looking down at me. Since she's still in her ninja turtle costume her eyes are a hazel green color right now. I just wish she was still wearing the mask. That got her to wrap her arms around my waist.
"Well then I suppose I can share a little bit. But I'd rather have you all to myself."
"You do have me to yourself so you don't have to share. I don't want you to I like it when you spoil me. It's just you really hurt my feelings thinking that I would just go hook up with other women. Don't you trust me?"
" I trust you Aj I guess I kinda have trust issues being my dad always told me I can never fully trust everybody. I know you wouldn't cheat on me because if you did... You don't want to do that okay because it's not going to end pretty for the other person. Straight up I'm going to kill whoever the other person is, I know a lot of people. That doesn't matter I just want you to know that I do trust you it's just I don't like the thought of someone else touching the way that I touch you. So please Aj I'm begging you to forgive me and let me have another chance. I'm way too into you to lose you so quick." Hearing her finally admit to me that she's jealous is definitely another plus to her. It takes a lot to openly admit that you're jealous and yet she did it. That's just another step up on our path to my ideal relationship.
"Okay I accept your apology I still think Ron-J deserves to have a chance." I smiled before she leaned down and kissed me. I know I say it all the time but I wouldn't mind having Roni on the road with me a lot more often than not. "Kay now come on let's go to bed I'm tired."
"I need another minute." Then she reconnected her lips to mine. I really do love being in the spotlight when it comes to her. As much as I'd love to stand here and make out with her we gotta get going.
"Babe stop we gotta go. Zivile and Zack are waiting on us so we can leave." I managed to get out pulling out of our kiss. That got her to let go and give me a strange look.
"Don't they have their own car?" I took this opportunity to interlace our hands and lead her down the hall.
"Yeah but today we have to exit through the back and fans sometimes wait there after the shows and I guess today is one of those days. So I can't walk out there holding your hand when in due time Zivile and I will be an onscreen couple again. By request of the boss lady it's best to start like Leeana got back together now so it's out there but not officially." I explained in the best way possible.
"Awe! Do you have to?" She whined out as we approached my locker room.
"I don't want to either but that's Aj Lee who is completely obsessed with Aksana. Aj is the one who is obsessed with you." I smirked knowing I'm confusing her.
"I will never understand this whole character persona thing." That earned her a kiss.
"Good I don't want you to." From there we grabbed our stuff and headed toward the back exit to the superstar parking lot. There we met up with Zivile and Zack. Then we decided who would take what car and who should go out first because we can't all go out at the same time. It ended up being Zack and Roni first, then Zi and myself following shortly after. I'm not going to lie leaving the arena hand in hand with her brought back quite the few memories. And the fans that were there quickly noticed it and seemed pretty thrilled that we were holding hands.
The next morning
"See right here you can use this to put different filters and stuff. So I can make it black and white, sepia, thermal, and stuff like that. But I don't like using filters because I think it ruins the clips natural colors."
"What if I want to add text?" I asked. When I woke up this morning Roni was already up editing one of her videos she previously shot before she left to come on the road with me. We ordered room service for breakfast and now we're just waiting for it to arrive. The whole process of her editing her videos confuses me because there are a lot of buttons and cursors that move and do things. I figured that if me and Roni are going to be together for quite some time it'd be pretty useful if I learned how to edit too. That way we can both edit together. So that's how we came to her explaining to me how it all works.
"You just click this button here and you get the text box creator thing. Then you just draw the text box and type. See." She then did as she said and typed over the text. "It seems complicated but you get use to it after a while."
"Yeah maybe I'll just leave the editing to you since you know what you're doing. When are you going to upload our vlogs?" It's a valid question and I want to know how her trip with me went.
"Umm probably next week when I go home. I want to put all the clips together into one video that way I won't have to upload load them everyday as they happened. Plus I never like having to wait to find out what happened next." She murmured doing stuff on her computer. "Why are you curious if Roni and Aj are dating for real?" She asked squinting her eyes at me.
"Well yeah obviously! I mean come on don't you think they make the cutest couple? That Roni girl is so cool, but Aj really complements her. I mean the video where they made the blue pasta was probably one of the funniest videos I've ever seen." I grinned honestly because I think it is.
"Yeah that's true I just hope that one isn't the only one they ever make together because they are gold together." She then smiled and gave me a peck on the lips.
"Something tells me it won't. Or at least I don't want it to be." I spoke in a questioning tone looking her in the eyes. She just grinned and laughed a little bit.
"I told you it's addicting. YouTube is a very dangerous place it can and will suck up hours of your life. But if you want to shoot another video with me we can."
"Oh I thought you'd never ask." I smirked. This time I get to decide what we do."
"Why do I get a bad vibe from how you said that?" That got me to laugh.
"Where's your phone?" I asked patting her pockets for her phone.
"Right here why?" Taking it from her I unlocked it and went to her Twitter. "What are you about to do?"
"Getting an idea for our next video. Smile!" I then held up her phone and snapped a selfie of us so I can post it. "Need ideas for a new video." I spoke out loud as I typed it in the caption.
"I bet you a good percent of them are going to ask for a girlfriend tag."
"Well then they will have to wait for it. Okay I sent it now we just have to wait."
"Wait you wanna shot it today?"
"Well did you bring your camera?"
"It's over there." She spoke pointing over to where our suitcases are.
"Okay perfect so then that's what we can do today since we have nowhere to be until tomorrow."
"Alright that's fine with me."
*knock knock*
"Room service!" Spoke a voice from outside the room.
"Vin go get that please." Roni spoke looking at Vinny who's watching the sports channel.
"Yeah yeah I'm going now." He grumbled getting up and going to the door. It was then that Roni's phone began to be blown up with Twitter notifications.
"Lol someone said a strip tease!" Laughed Roni as she's going through the comments.
"Yeah right I'm not sharing your body with anyone. What else are they saying?"
"Umm someone said how to survive boring long road trips. That's a good one since you travel a lot." She looked at me as she said that.
"No there isn't really a way to make road trips fun."
"Here's your food guys." Spoke Vinny as he set down the tray with our breakfast on it.
"Kay thanks you're the best." Mumbled Roni not looking up from her phone. I was watching her scroll through the comments and I saw one that caught my eye.
"Babe I got it!" I grinned shaking her.
"What?"
"A breakfast Q&A with Aj and Roni. It's perfect because they have questions and we can answer them while we have breakfast. So in a way it's like they can eat with us." She's just staring at me. Well it sounded like a good idea in my head. Suddenly she grabbed me and pulled me in for a kiss.
"That's fucking a great idea. We can call it Breakfast with Ron-J!"
"See this is why we're perfect for each other babe lets do it!" I smiled back. And from there we set up and filmed our Q&A. It went exactly how I pictured it. But really I was enjoying having breakfast with my girlfriend. We didn't really answer that many questions because like any other meal we have together we were too busy messing with each other. I don't ever intend for them to go that way but Roni always makes fun of me while I'm eating and then I make fun of her and it's too late to go back. It's okay because I don't mind it. I'm especially enjoying everything we're doing together while I have her because she leaves me on Saturday and it's Wednesday. I want to spend as much time with her as I can.
After we finished recording Roni continued on editing and I just sat and watched her. That didn't last too long before I got bored and insisted that she pay attention to me. So that means nothing but Aj and Roni one on one time. Mostly it was her cuddling me as we watched tv. Every now and then she'll kiss me or briefly tighten her grip on me only to loosen it up again a few seconds later. I don't know what it is about her but I can just sit and cuddle with her all day long if she let me. It's weird because I've never been one for cuddling but the way Roni does it makes me feel... Warm inside. Like I shouldn't be anywhere else but with her right now. Oh fuck it who am I kidding anymore!? I think I'm falling for her and I don't think I mind it. To this day I'm still amused by the first time we ever met at that club. Had I not asked Lay I wouldn't have been a raging bull and I would have missed out on probably the best three months of my life since we started dating. I think it's pretty safe to say I'm rather content with my life right now.
First thing first, no I didn't forget about you guys on my holiday shopping list. I know I've been slacking for the past month but this is what I've been working on. Since its... Okay yes I know I missed the holidays by a few days but it's fine better late than never right? Anyway my gift to you is a double update! What the fuck are you talking about you crazy whore? You only posted one new chapter to this story, you're probably thinking right now. But obviously I'm talking about my other story Elephant Cupcakes! So that should be up later today or tomorrow but odds are it'll be later tonight. If you don't read that story you should because it's about people making cupcakes... Wait for it! That look like elephants! It's really boring I promise you you'll regret reading it. :) lol wut
Anywhore back to the story. Yes Ik kill myself for posting another Ron-J chapter. But you can not tell me you don't think Roni and Aj would make the perfect YouTube couple. Like on some real shit I'd probably be obsessed with them the most out of the LGBT community on YouTube. Plus it's cute that Roni finally admitted to being jealous... So basically what I'm saying is this chapter nothing really happened besides me wanting to write more Aj and Roni. Then that brings me to what one of you guys said to me. Roleeana... Yeah just let that sink in.
Ro-Lee-Ana. Yeah Ik it blew my shit too when I first read that. I don't do this often but shouts out to Jurasicfatt. Congrats bro you probably didn't think about it at the time but you unintentionally made me rethink the whole future of this story. Like I mean I thought I had it all planned out then you hit me with that. Like I read that before I went to work and it was all that I could think about the whole time. My manager is telling me to go put back a box of cereal and I end up in the dairy section looking at different types of whipped cream and who's idea would it be to use it between the three of them. Don't worry that isn't a bad thing you should be proud because nobody has ever been able to make me reconsider something in my stories so deep like you did. So I guess thanks but not really because now idk what my end pairing is going to be. I still love you.. But damn! Lol. Kay now I'm going to go feed my pet door Sonya. She's adorable I lover her so much. ~Joz #Fuckitup I don't even know anymore
