Maria's POV

I can't help keeping the smile off my face. It was after Royal Rumble and I was walking backstage holding the Divas Championship proudly. I had just won it from my match with Michelle and Layla. I can't help grinning like a fool. I entered the Divas Locker room.

"Hey you," I turned around and saw Michele standing there. Her face was really serious then it broke into a smile.

"Congrats, you deserve it, Ri." She said giving me a huge hug.

"Aww thanks! You're making me cry." I said as we broke our hug.

"Are you kidding me? Deserved? You earned it!" Beth said hugging me too.

"I guess those cuts and bruises from we were training together really paid off, huh?" Beth said grinning.

"Maria! Yay! You're the Divas Champ!" Kelly said bursting through the door and hugging me.

"Gosh, thanks girl!" I said

"Maria that bulldog broke my nose, I think." Layla said from one corner. She walked towards me.

"Just joking." She said laughing also hugging me.

"Where's our champ?" We all turned to the door and saw Mickie striding towards us. She hugged me as well.

"This calls for a celebration!" Kelly said clapping her hands excitedly.

"Damn, right." Brie said while she and Nikki hugged me.

It seems like I just sat through all the talking and all the laughing the Divas made. Mickie, who was sitting beside me, nudged my shoulder.

"You okay?" Mickie asked.

"Uh yeah." I replied snapping out of my trance.

"Cheer up, we're celebrating for you." She gave me a knowing look, I just smiled and she continued talking to Kelly.

Truth is, I'm thinking about what happened earlier tonight. I know John saw us. Perhaps, winning the Divas Championship wasn't able to erase the thought and the nervousness away. I was wondering if I may ever talk to him again. I'm just so confused at the moment. I don't even wanna think about it.

Someone walked through the doors. I looked up and saw that it was John. He looked around a bit and his gaze met mine. We stared at each other. He broke our gaze and walked the other way where Randy and the other guys were.

"I'm gonna go and get something to drink." I told Mickie. She nodded. I walked to the bar and stood. I don't feel like sitting.

"What is it gonna be for you tonight, beautiful lady?" Asked the bartender.

"Vodka tonic, please." I said and offered him a smile. He turned around and fixed my drink. Someone put an arm around my waist. I turned around and saw that it was Wade.

"Congratulations." He whispered in my ear and kissed me on the cheek.

"Thanks." I smiled at Wade and took the drink that the bartender placed on the counter.

"I knew you could do it." He said smiling.

"Well…." I said and laughed a little.

My eyes roamed around a bit and saw the Divas were on the dancefloor dancing wildly. I looked around and saw Randy talking to the other guys and my gaze fell on John, who was talking to Kelly.

I don't know, but this made me mad as hell. What the hell? John was laughing and Kelly was laughing too and she slapped his arm playfully. I know I have no right to get mad cause I also hooked up with another guy but it's making me mad.

"So, what's up?" I said to Wade.

"Well nothing much. Some of my guys are already drunk, I guess." He said scratching the back of his head and looking back to where his men are who were laughing loudly. I laughed.

"So, are we gonna celebrate tonight?" Whoa! Where did that come from? It's not myself talking. I suddenly turned from a bore to super flirty. Maybe it's the alcohol kicking in.

"Well, if you put it that way…" Wade said leaning his elbow on the bar and raising his eyebrow while smirking.

"Was just asking." I shrugged but I can't keep the smile off my lips. I looked back to where John was and Kelly had her hand on his arm and John was laughing.

"So, it's a shame that you didn't win the Royal Rumble match." I turned to Wade.

"Don't mention it." Wade rolled his eyes.

" That's alright. You're a great athlete and you're really charismatic." I gave him a look of sympathy.

"You think I'm charismatic?" He gave a snorted laughter.

"You don't think that by now I should know?" I raised my eyebrow. He just looked at me and grinned.

I took a drink and looked back to where John was. I almost spat my drink out when I saw that they were kissing. John and Kelly were kissing! I'm so mad as hell. How dare she? I thought she was my friend? She knew the drama that I had with John and Wade. Why would she do that? I'm mad at John too! I thought he loves me? He's a jerk! Like every other guy! I had to keep myself from marching over there and tearing her off him and slapping John in the face but then I thought of a better revenge on him. I turned to Wade and asked him

"Do you wanna go back to the hotel?"
