Wednesday 28th March
''I did tell them six, right?''
''You did.''
''Did you also hear me warn them that I'd kill them if they were late? They know I've got to do that stupid press conference at twelve... fuckers.''
Alexa rolled her eyes and leaned her head back against the seat, sighing impatiently as Jon chuckled beside her. They were parked just outside of the FCW arena, waiting for Colby and Claudio to arrive before they headed to Miami.
''I'm sure they won't be long.'' Jon told her as he leaned over, pressing a kiss to the side of her neck.
''What are you doing?'' She arched her neck, giving him room to trail his lips up to her ear. ''Didn't you get enough of that yesterday, Romeo?''
''I'll never get enough when it comes to you.''
Her breath hitched as she felt a his teeth nipping her earlobe as his hand moved across to gently squeeze her thigh. ''Jon, they could be here any minute.''
''So?'' He murmured, pulling away from her slightly before capturing her lips.
Things got slightly out of hand and within a few minutes, he had somehow managed to pull her out of her seat and tugged her leg over his lap so she was straddling him. She let out a soft moan as his hands worked their way under her shirt, burning hot against her skin.
''BOO!"
Alexa let out a shriek as something suddenly slammed into the car door, her and Jon both turning their heads simultaneously to find Colby and Claudio laughing at them through the window. She scrambled off of Jon's lap and out of the car as quickly as she could, lunging towards the two men. Claudio had the good sense to jump out of her reach but Colby wasn't so quick and received a light smack upside the head.
''You guys are assholes!"
Claudio laughed as he stepped towards them. ''You should have seen the look on your face.''
''For a second there, we thought we might need to get a hose on you two.'' Colby quipped, darting out-of-the-way as she reached out to hit him again.
''I knew it.'' The Swiss smirked, holding out his hand. ''You owe me twenty bucks, Lopez.''
With a roll of his eyes Colby slipped a note from his wallet, but before Claudio could take it, Alexa sprung forward and snatched it from the other man's hand.
''Hey!"
Jon looked between them in confusion. ''What's going on?''
''Claudio placed bets with everyone over whether or not we were banging.''
Claudio had to good grace to look embarrassed. ''Not 'banging' per se...''
A smug grin curled at her lips as she shoved the money in her pocket and shook her head, tutting. ''I should make you walk to Miami.''
''You wouldn't, you like us too much.'' Claudio shot her a charming smile as Colby gave her his best puppy dog face.
''Just put your shit in the trunk.''
The two men did as she asked, tossing their cases in the trunk as she moved around the car to jump back into the driver's seat.
''So, are you two, like, official now?'' Colby asked as she slipped into the backseat.
''Yep.'' Alexa nodded, grabbing the cord from the glovebox and attaching her iPod to the car speakers.
Claudio grinned behind her. ''That's great, guys.''
Jon and Alexa shared a small smile as Colby poked his head forward between the seats. ''Hey, who said you get music duty?''
She cocked an eyebrow at him. ''Driver picks the music. Deal with it.''
''But-''
''If you don't shut up, I'll put Lady Gaga on shuffle for the journey. I know how much you love her.'' Alexa grinned triumphantly as Colby let out a groan and flopped back in his seat. ''I don't know why you're complaining, you don't even know what I've got on here...''
''The fact that you even have Gaga on there does not bode well.'' He grumbled.
She quickly scrolled through the playlists and when she got to her driving mix, hit the shuffle button. Pearl Jam's Alive started playing and she glanced up in the mirror to find Colby nodding in approval. Smirking at him, she buckled up and pulled out of the parking lot
''Dude, you're singing the wrong words!''
''No I'm not, I'm making a remix.''
Claudio had been asleep for the past hour and not even Colby and Alexa's rousing rendition of Sweet Child o' Mine had stirred him. Jon laughed at the bickering pair, shaking his head. ''Hey, Lex, can I drive?''
''No.''
''Then would you?''
Her eyes focused on the road and she swore, seeing that they were starting to veer off into the next lane, quickly turning the wheel to the right. She snorted when she saw Claudio jolt awake, his head banging lightly against the window. ''Sorry, Claud.''
''That's alright... was that you I heard singing?''
''Uh, yeah.'' She replied, feeling a blush creep up her neck.
''You've got a really nice voice.''
Alexa shot a smile at him through the mirror. ''Thanks.''
''I'm surprised Vince didn't try to cash in on that and make you record an album or some shit.'' Jon laughed.
Colby snorted from the back. ''Yeah, do you remember when Cena released his? What a joke.'' He stifled a laugh as he leaned between the seats. ''Hey, remember back when John was still doing his 'Thuganomic' gimmick? And Lex had a rap battle with him?''
30th September 2004 - Smackdown!
''Who's this, Tazz?'' Michael Cole questioned, hearing the unfamiliar music blast through the arena.
The crowd was silent for a moment before loud cheers went up, Sierra emerging from behind the curtain with a grin.
''It's Sierra, Cole!" Tazz told him, confusion lacing his tone. ''But she's drafted to Raw, what's she doing here on Smackdown?"
The other man shrugged. ''I'm sure we'll find out shortly.''
The woman in question sauntered down the ramp, clapping the hands of a few fans as she went. She smiled at the warm reception and climbed into the ring, grabbing a microphone from one of the men at ringside. She paused, waiting for the cheers to die down, before moving it up to her lips. ''Hello Texas! It's great to be here tonight, but I'm pretty sure you're all wondering why I'm here.''
''Two weeks ago on Raw, Sierra lost a match.'' Cole informed the audience. ''The stipulations of the match were that if Sierra were to lose, she had to leave Raw while Triple H remained the World Heavyweight Champion.''
''Obviously, I'm not drafted to Smackdown... But, Teddy Long made me a pretty sweet deal, and, as from tonight, I'm an honourary member of the Smackdown roster.''
''Well, I guess Raw's loss is Smackdown's gain.'' Tazz commented over the loud applause of the crowd.
''I-''
So... you think you're untouchable...
The cheera got even louder and Sierra turned around, finding John Cena making his way down to the ring. Raising an eyebrow, she crossed her arms over her chest, shooting the man an unimpressed look as he slid into the ring.
John did his Word Life sign before asking for a microphone. ''Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!" He started, moving around to circle Sierra. ''What do we have here?" He asked, looking her up and down. ''You're kinda young to be in this ring, unless of course, you're representing playboy magazine."
Rolling her eyes, she mouthed. ''Shut up!''
''Ooooh, a feisty one too.'' A shit-eating grin appeared on his face. ''Okay. Welcome to Smackdown-'' He cut himself off when he saw her hold up her hand. ''You wanna say something? Alright. Ladies First.''
''Listen, I heard you talk a lot of trash here on Smackdown. Wonder what kind of trash you talk, gimme the lowdown.''
John laughed. ''You rap? Well, Listen, this ain't nonya business, you're just a girl maybe even less.''
''Hey, I did my homework. If it wasn't for your bling bling on WWE you'd end up a sales clerk.''
''Listen miss-I-got-my-tits-''' John started.
''Listen here, I'm not the bitch.'' Sierra interjected.
''You think you got guts-''
''I know. I know. SO CHOKE ON THESE NUTS.'' She faked a yawn before continuing. ''Is that the best you got for me? You ferret-faced CLB.''
''CLB. No I'm not-''
''I know your game and how you play it. I know you're nervous, you just can't say it. You think you're so great as a matter of fact. You're just some white dude pretending to be black. You know that I have the game. But you don't clearly know my name. I'm Sierra, the new bitch on the block. When you rap around me, it's you who sucks. So stop being an arrogant prick, with a giant MOBY DICK!''
Tazz chortled from ringside. ''Oh my God...''
''I.. wait, you think I got a Moby Dick?'' He asked seriously.
''I know everyone's in favor of you, John Cena. The next US Champion of this Arena. I agree one hundred percent... but you still owe thirty bucks for that g-string rent.''
He looked at her, impressed. ''You're a pretty good rapper for a girl.''
''The one and only in the world.'' She told him smugly.
''I mean, you got the looks AND the body. Way, way hotter than Scottie 2 hottie. Welcome to Smackdown, Sierra."
Sierra waved her hand in front of her face, in the same way he usually did. ''Well, you can't see me 'cause I'm already gone. One more thing, go ahead and sob.'Cause I already cancelled all your daily blow jobs.''
The crowd cheered and she looked over at John expectantly.
He fumbled around for words before letting out a laugh. '''Well, it seems that I've actually been punked out by a girl... Seeing as how I lost and all... what's my consolation prize?''
Sierra dropped the microphone to the canvas, rolling her eyes as she walked over to John, stopping right in front of him. She teasingly leaned forward like she was going to kiss him before she turned at the last second, her lips landing on his cheek. She walked over towards the ropes, sending him a wink before hopping down off the apron and walking up the ramp.
''Oh my God...'' Alexa groaned, remembering exactly what he was talking about. ''I think that was the single most embarrassing moment of my career... and I've been in mud wrestling matches, so that's saying something!"
Colby and Jon were sniggering while Claudio just looked confused. ''What are you talking about?''
The two-toned man turned to face him with a laugh. ''I'll find it on YouTube, I'm sure it's on there somewhere...''
''How do you even remember that?'' She quirked an eyebrow at his reflection in the mirror. ''It was years ago...''
He shrugged, not meeting her gaze. ''I guess I just have a good memory.''
Jon snorted, shifting in his seat to face the man behind him. ''More like you used to have a massive crush o-''
''Jon!'' Colby cried, his face flushing a deep red as he reached forward to clip him around the back of the head.
''I don't blame him, I used to be pretty hot back then.'' She teased.
''Used to be? Babe, you're still hot. In fact, I think you've probably got even hotter, if that's possible.'' He chucked lowly, watching as she turned as red as the man in the back.
''Just to be clear; I didn't have a crush on you, Lex.'' Colby told her seriously. ''I was just... a fan, I guess? I don't know, you were, are, one of the only female wrestlers in the WWE that really stood out to me. You weren't just there to be eye candy and I liked what you did in the ring, probably because it was pretty similar to what I did.''
She smiled warmly. ''Thanks, Colb, that means a lot.''
''So, how was it?''
They had made it to Miami about an hour before the Wrestlemania press conference started, leaving Alexa more than enough time to shower and change. There had been one slight panic when she realized that Phil was nowhere to be found; instead of booking a hotel room, he had offered her one of the bunks in his bus which she had happily accepted. Luckily, Jon and Colby had let her dump her bags in their room and use their bathroom.
An hour after she rushed out of their room, she returned, flopping face-first onto one of the beds in the room. ''Apart from some woman offering Phil a hundred bucks to take his shirt off, pretty boring.''
Jon smirked over at her. ''Nobody asked you to take yours off?''
''Sadly, no. I would've happily done it though, it was sweaty balls hot out there.'' She groaned. ''What time do you guys have to be at Axxess?''
''Not for a couple of hours yet.'' He replied, glancing down at his watch. ''Why?''
''Just wondering if I'll be able to squeeze in a quick nap.'' She murmured from the pillow.
''Why don't you just stay here?'' He suggested, the bed sinking slightly as he sat beside her. ''Technically, you don't even have to be there, you haven't got anything going on until tomorrow.''
''I know, but I want to watch your match.'' Alexa grumbled petulantly.
He quickly slipped off his jeans and slid into the bed, tossing back the covers and patting the spot beside him. ''Come here.''
She tucked her legs under the sheet and shuffled over, pressing her face into his neck as he wrapped his arms around her. ''Mmm, you smell good.''
A low rumble spread through his chest as chuckled. ''If you want to sleep then go for it, I'll wake you up when it's time to go.''
''Urgh...Colby, what the fuck, man?''
Alexa didn't know how long she slept, all she knew was that she was woken by a sudden weight falling on her legs. Jon's husky voice told her that he must have fallen asleep at some point too, the same thing having just woken him. Glancing down, she stifled a giggle; Colby had obviously returned to the hotel room and found them and was sprawled across them, his head resting on her thigh and his lower body covering Jon's legs.
''I hope you guys aren't naked under there.'' He told them. ''Otherwise this would be awkward.''
''We're not naked.'' Jon growled. ''Get the fuck off.''
Colby nuzzled his head against her thigh. ''Nope. I'm actually pretty comfortable here.''
Alexa smirked as the man next to her huffed in exasperation. ''Well, two hot men in my bed... guess I can cross that off my bucket list.''
Jon smirked, his mouth opening ready to make some crude comment. Colby, anticipating this, swung his arm up to slap his hand over the other man's mouth. He missed completely and his hand ended up landing on Alexa's chest, much to her amusement.
''Colby!'' She snorted out a laugh as Jon quickly shoved his hand off of her. ''You totally just got to second base...''
''Shit, sorry.''
''It's cool, next time you can buy me dinner first.'' She teased.
Jon raised an eyebrow, glancing down at the man with a playful look of warning. ''There better not be a next time.''
Alexa chuckled and pushed herself up to plant a kiss on his cheek, Jon had other ideas. He slipped his hand into her hair and gently captured her lips; she felt her eyes flutter closed as she let out a contented sigh.
"Let's keep it PG kids." They reluctantly pulled apart at the obnoxious voice, turning to glare at Colby who was beaming at them. ''Oh, hey, did you tell Lex your news?''
''No.'' Jon shot him a glare. ''I was waiting until later.''
''What news?'' She asked, looking curiously between the pair.
''I had a meeting with John Laurinitis today. He wants me to start travelling with the main roster and do some dark matches before the shows.''
She let the information sink in for a few seconds before beaming at him. ''That's great!''
''I'm super jealous.'' Colby told him with a smile.
''It's a start.'' Jon said cooly. ''It doesn't mean anything, not yet.''
''Just do your thing, man. They'll see how great you are and then you'll be on the main roster in no time.''
