Peppering kisses kissing my neck wakes me up. It takes a moment for me to realise where I am and my insides flutter as I remember last night. My eyes slowly open as Colby's lips find my sweet spot. "Good morning to you." I moan.
Colby hovers above me. "I couldn't help myself, seeing you lying next to me only wrapped in the sheet."
I chuckle. "Not that I'm complaining but why are we up so early?"
"Because we have to get up." he answers. I pout which he laughs at. "You're cute when you're tired."
"I'm more than cute."
He chuckles. "That you are." he agrees and kisses me softly.
"Thank you for last night." I thank.
"You're welcome."
"I don't know how you are going to top that."
"Just you wait, I have many surprises."
I sit up on my elbows. "Like what?"
"If I told you it wouldn't be a secret."
"Please?" I plead.
He chuckles loudly. "Sorry."
"Fine." I pout. "What time do we have to check out?"
"In about half an hour."
"What on earth could we possibly do in that time?" I wonder fluttering my eyes.
His eyes darken. "I could think of some things."
"Care to enlighten me?"
"Let's take this somewhere hotter." he suggests and scoops me up and carries me into the bathroom.
Half an hour later I am showered and ready to go. Colby walks out of the bathroom ready to go. "Ready?" He asks.
"Let's go." We gather our things and leave the room. We arrive at the airport and I am dreading it. "I don't want to leave."
He chuckles. "I'll see you on Monday."
"That's not the same."
"What are you doing next weekend?"
"Nothing why?"
"Jon, Renee, Joe, Galina and I are going to vegas, I would like you to come with me."
"What's happening in Vegas?"
"Just a weekend away before we start the homestretch for Money in the Bank."
"So like a couples weekend."
"Yes, I would like us to go together."
I smile. "I'm guessing your okay with people finding out now."
"I am. I don't want to hide you, I want to show you off."
I grin. "Well if you want to show me off, I better go on this trip then."
"Really?"
"Yes it'll be fun." I accept. "I hate to leave but I have a flight to catch." He pulls me close to him and kisses me passionately.
Monday comes around and I arrive at the arena. I walk into the locker room and see Nikki, April and Saraya setting up. "Hey." I greet them.
"Hi." They respond.
"How was your weekends?"
"Good, got some sleep." Nikki answers.
"Same."
"Have you been to Corano yet?" April asks.
"No I was about to go now."
"Let's go." Saraya urges.
We arrive at talent relations and find Mark and Paul. "Ladies, welcome, please take a seat." Paul urges.
"Tonight is three weeks until Money in the Bank and there's a lot happening during that time." Mark addresses. "Tonight, AJ will have a match against Layla, with both Paige and Sarah on commentary."
"Seth will be out there too." Paul continues. "And after the match Sarah is going to attack Paige and AJ."
"That's all for tonight." Mark finishes and then he looks to me. "Serena, could you please stay back? We want to go over The Authority segment?" Once the ladies have left they turn to face me. "There is also going to be an opening segment with The Authority tonight which you will be apart of."
"What's happening?"
"The segment will set up the mainevent for the evening which will be a tag match between Randy and Seth Vs Dean and Roman." Paul explains.
"Sounds fun. Is that all?"
"Yes." Jane answers.
I arrive at hair and make up to find April, Nikki and Saraya. "Hey." I greet.
"What are you doing tonight?" Nikki asks.
"I'm opening the show."
"With The Authority?" Saraya asks.
"Yes and then our segment after that."
"Any special scenes with Seth?" April asks.
"Thats still being decided."
"So how was your date?" Nikki pipes up.
My eyes go wide. "What date?"
"The one you didn't want anyone knowing about." Saraya answers.
"It was fun." I answer casually.
"What did you do?" Nikki asks.
"Went to dinner and Colby hired out a thempark."
"He what." Saraya shrieks.
I laugh. "He went all out."
"Did you fuck?" Nikki blurts out.
"Nicole." We all scold.
Nikki grins. "She isn't denying it."
I turn my head and they catch me. "You did it, didn't you?" April asks loudly.
"Quiet down." I hiss.
"OMG you did."
"Alright cut it out."
"How was it?" Nikki asks.
"I'm not answering that." I reply and turn to face Amy. "Amy please hurry up with my hair and make up so I can get away from these woman."
Once my hair is straightened and my make up is done: a bold red smokey eye with a red lip. I change into my outfit for the night; a red leather crop top with a gold flower in the centre and diamonds scattered and black leather pants with knee high boots.
"You look beautiful baby girl." Sandra compliments.
"Thank you Sandra."
"You're welcome, have fun tonight."
I head to catering where I take a seat and grab some food. Suddenly someone's hands cover my face and I gasp but I hear the familiar chuckle. "That was mean." I scold as Colby removes his hands and sits down next to me.
"I couldn't resist." He chuckles.
"You could've given me a heart attack."
"I would have done CPR."
"You ready for the show?" I ask.
"Yes, I hear we will be having a couple segments together."
"You heard correct."
"Nervous?"
"Always."
"You look great." He compliments.
"Not bad yourself." I retort.
"Still good about going to Vegas?"
I nod. "Yes."
"Well look what we have here." a familiar voice addresses us.
We turn to see Jon and Renee. "Hello." I greet them.
"I see you two can't get away from each other." Jon comments.
"We've only just seen each other."
"Well he hasn't stopped complaining." Renee mentions.
I turn to look at Colby and he hides away. "Are you talking about me?"
"Always." Jon answers.
I chuckle then turn to face them. "Can we help you?"
"We just wanted to say we're excited for Vegas." Renee expresses.
"Me too." I smile. "Thanks for letting me join."
"Like we had a choice." Jon laughs.
"Haha you're so funny." I mock. "Well I'll leave you guys, I have to go work on some lines with April and Saraya." I say standing up. "I'll see you at gorilla." I say to Colby and walk off.
Its time for the opening segment. "Hi Steph." I greet.
"Hi Serena you look great, are you ready?" She asks.
"Sure am."
Colby arrives and stands next to me. "Ready?" He asks.
"Born ready."
Triple H and Stephanie walk out and stand at the top of the ramp. Stephanie has an arm around Hunter's waist and Hunter is holding her close. They make it into the ring and the crowd boo them. "Don't they look phenomenal!" JBL admires.
The crowd quiets down and Triple H hands Stephanie a mike. "Welcome everybody to Monday night Raw." Stephanie says opening the show and the crowd cheers. "We are three weeks away till Money in the Bank." Stephanie expresses. "And we're going to be crowning a new champion." Stephanie predicts and the crowd boo. "We're going to see a Money in the Bank match that will be remembered forever and we're also going to see a triple threat match that will go down in history."
"As The Authority we want this business to survive and to do that we have handpick the future of this company and we found it." Triple H declares. "Now I want to introduce to you the members of The Authority that are going to rise to the occasion and show everyone how good they really are."
"Let's introduce to you the man that will walk out of Money in the Bank the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the Viper, Randy Orton." Stephanie introduces and the crowd give a loud mixed reaction as Randy's theme starts.
Randy walks out with a smirk on his face and makes his way down to the ring. He climbs in the ring and shakes hands with Hunter and gives Steph a side hug. He goes over to the corner and does his signature taunt and hops down. "You're right Stephanie, I will walk out of Money in the Bank a 13 time champion, and prove to you all why I'm the number one superstar in WWE." Randy declares and the crowd give a loud mixed reaction.
"Next, we would like to introduce to you, the man that will be the future of this company and the next Mr Money in the Bank, The Architect that dismantled The Shield, Seth Rollins." Stephanie introduces.
Seth's music blasts and the crowd boo instantly as he walks out and taunts the crowd with his arms wide and a huge grin on his face. "That's right I am the future." he declares as he makes his way down the ramp. Seth climbs in the ring and shakes Hunter's hand, quickly shakes hands with Randy and hugs Stephanie. "Wow, what an introduction." he exclaims as the crowd boo and begin to chant. "You sold out, you sold out."
"Don't listen to these people they are nothing." Stephanie laughs and the crowd boo as everyone in the ring chuckles.
"As much as I'd like to, I can't take all the credit for dismantling The Shield, there was another person that orchestrated the plan, and helped make it happen." Seth responds.
"You're right, and this person needs no introduction, but she deserves one." Triple H chimes in as the crowd boo. "Ever since this woman has stepped into this company she's made a name for herself and she's only just getting started." Triple H adds. "At Money in the Bank she'll compete in a triple threat match where she will be defending her Divas Championship and no doubt steel the show." Triple H exclaims. "So ladies and gentleman, I give to you, your Divas Champion, Sarah."
Immediately the crowd boos as I walk out with my title around my waist. "Here she is." JBL says excitedly as I stand at the top of the ramp and raise my title in the air with a grin. "She looks great."
I make my way down the ramp laughing as the crowd continue to boo me. I get to the steel steps and climb up onto the apron. Seth walks over to the ropes and sits down and opens them for me and I smile. "What a gentleman." I thank.
I get in and raise my arms in the air taunting the crowd further. My music dies and I grab a mike and take in the heat. Once it's quiet I raise the mike to my lips and just as I am about to speak the crowd chant. "You sold out, you sold out, you sold out."
I chuckle. "Everytime."
Seth walks up next to me and whispers. "They're jealous."
The crowd quiet down and I face everyone in the ring. "Wow, Triple H, Stephanie, that introduction, I wasn't expecting that much praise, but you're right, I have made a name for myself, I've changed the game here, and once again, I'll prove to everyone here that I can back up my words." I respond and the crowd boo. "At Money in the Bank, I'll defeat Paige, someone who isn't worthy of being champion." I continue and the crowd give a loud mixed reaction. "And I'll again defeat that smurf, who thinks she can waltz back here and make it all about her. I'll defeat AJ Lee and show everyone here that I always have and always will be better than her." I finish and the crowd boo. "You don't agree with me, let me show you." I suggest directing everyone to the screen and it plays a series of videos of me winning matches against AJ. "There you have it folks, the proof is right there, AJ Lee could never beat me and she never will."
I walk back in line and stand next to Seth who puts his arm around my waist. The crowd notice this exchange and they. "Aww." "Seth and Sarah seem to be getting closer." Jerry notices.
"You're right Sarah, you are better and at Money in the Bank, we're going to show everyone here, that we are the future of this company." Seth replies.
"It's great that you two are on the same page, I don't doubt that you two will do great things, but now is the time to focus, you all have huge matches coming up and it's time to work towards them." Triple H advises.
"You three are going to be representing The Authority so make sure each time that you're out here, you're ready to fight." Stephanie finishes and the crowd give a loud mixed reaction.
"Now, we still have another three weeks before Money in the Bank, but right now, we have some business that needs to be finished." Triple H alerts. "There seems to be two superstars that have forgotten who we are, so tonight, The Authority is going to end what is left of The Shield."
"Tonight in the mainevent there is going to be a tag match where we are going to see the team of Randy Orton and Seth Rollins, beat and end Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns once and for all." Stephanie exclaims and the crowd boo loudly.
"Aww you don't like that." Seth laughs. "I've told you time and time again that Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns would be nothing without me, and tonight I'll end them." Seth promises dropping the mike as The Authority's music plays and we taunt the crowd.
About half an hour later I make my way to the gorilla where I find Saraya, April and Victoria. "Hey ladies." I greet.
"You looked hot out there earlier." April compliments.
"Why thank you." I thank. "You ladies ready?"
"Born ready." they respond as a pair of hands cover my eyes.
I shriek and the girls laugh. I turn around and see it's Colby. "That's the second time you've done that."
"You're just to easy to get, are you ready?" Colby asks laughing.
"Ready to beat these two up."
"You're loving being bad aren't you." April comments.
"I am." I grin as I hear my music start up and I grab Colby's hand. "See you out there."
Seth and I walk out to a reaction of boos. We stand at the top of the ramp and Seth twirls me out and back into him. We stare at each other and grin. "Don't they look great together." JBL admires.
We make our way down the ramp and around the ring. "And it looks like they are going to be joining us on commentary." Cole announces.
"It's my lucky day, we get to speak to these two talented people." JBL says excitedly.
Seth and I laugh as we hear the continued boos as we make our way to the announce table. "Gentleman." We greet in unison.
"Seth and Sarah welcome, please take a seat." Cole offers.
Seth sits down and I'm about to sit down next to him, but he pulls me onto his lap making me gasp and the crowd give a mixed reaction. "Easy tiger." I whisper.
"Couldn't help myself." he smirks as Paige's music comes on and I instantly glare up at the ramp.
The crowd give a loud mixed reaction as she walks out. "I see there's no love lost between Paige and yourself." Cole notices.
"You're damn right there isn't." I confirm. "I never liked Paige, never will, and because of her, I'm now in a triple threat match."
"Calm down sweetheart." Seth urges.
"It's hard when this was all her fault."
"I know but you have to stay strong."
"Seth may I ask why you are out here?" Cole asks.
We snap our heads in his direction. "Michael how dare you." Seth glares.
"Calm down sweetheart." I copy his words from earlier. He turns to face me and smirks as Paige arrives at commentary. "Why is she out here."
"Maybe she wants a closer look just like you." Jerry answers.
"She can watch from backstage, this is my time not hers."
"Paige, welcome." Cole welcomes handing her a headset.
"Gentleman, Seth, Bitch." Paige greets.
I lunge at her and the crowd gets loud as Seth holds me back. "How dare you." I shriek.
"What are you going to do about it princess?" Paige taunts.
"I'm going to destroy you."
AJ Lee's music blasts and the arena are on their feet. "Wow, what a reaction." Cole exclaims.
"That was nothing." I mumble and turn my attention to the ring as AJ climbs in and stands across from Alicia.
"We have singles action right now, the returning AJ Lee vs Alicia Fox, and joining us is Paige one of the challengers for the divas title at Money in the bank." Cole introduces.
"You mean future divas champion." Paige retorts.
I scoff. "In your dreams."
"Something to say princess." she yells over the table.
"Always crumpet." I retort and Seth chuckles.
"We also have the current Divas Champion Sarah and with her is Seth Rollins." Cole finishes.
"I think you missed something Michael. Seth is the next Mr Money in the Bank and future WWE World Heavyweight Champion and together we are going to rule this place."
"How rude of you Michael for forgetting such a crucial message, but thank you Sarah for adding that, it's what needs to be reminded, that we are the future of this company, and people like Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns will be nothing." Seth agrees.
"Wow." Paige scoffs.
Seth glares at Paige. "Got something to say."
Paige shakes her head and turns back to the match as Alicia takes down AJ. "Alicia fox with a massive closeline." Cole announces.
I clap. "Good job."
"You seem happy that Alicia is decimating AJ." Jerry comments.
"That's because I am." I say dryly. "God I feel so sorry for you JBL you're stuck with these two idiots."
"Don't worry Michael and Jerry, they have so much of an ego they can't see straight." Paige chimes in and I go to lunge at her again but Seth grabs me and the crowd give a mixed reaction.
"I'd watch it Paige, one more time and I might just let her go." Seth warns.
We turn our attention back to the match and it goes back and forth. "AJ hasn't skipped a beat." Cole compliments.
"God why is it always about AJ." I complain.
"Someone doesn't like it when it isn't about them." Paige comments.
"Of course I don't like it, it is about me, it's always about me." I retort. "I'm the Divas Champion, the best this company has ever seen, and what do I get for it, nothing."
"Oh my god not everything is about you, and at Money in the Bank I am going to be the one to dethrone you."
I start laughing as does Seth. "Oh you crack me up Paige, you've tried so many times, but you fail each and every time, and once again you're going to fail like all those times before."
"God your such a bitch." She repeats.
"Talking about yourself." I retort and Seth laughs.
"What are you laughing about sellout?"
"What did you just call me?" Seth asks.
"Didn't you hear me? I said sellout."
The crowd stir as they see Seth start to seethe. "I think you should back away right now."
"Why? What are you going to do?"
I turn my head and whisper something in his ear and he nods as AJ runs the ropes and locks in The Black Widow. "AJ has The Black widow locked in." Cole announces.
I slowly stand as the crowd cheer AJ on and just as Alicia taps I lunge at Paige tackling her off the chair and start unloading left and rights. "OMG Sarah just lunged at Paige taking her out." Jerry shouts as AJ turns her attention to the chaos.
"And here comes AJ Lee." Jerry exclaims as AJ climbs out of the ring.
She pulls me off of Paige and throws me backwards by my hair and the crowd cheers. "Don't you dare." Seth warns AJ.
AJ goes to attack me but I palm my fists together and hit her in the gut. "That a girl." Seth praises as AJ hunches over.
"Sarah is now back to her feet and has AJ right where she wants her." Jerry announces.
"You should have never come back." I shout as the crowd boo. I pull her up and ram her into the side of the ring and AJ screams as the crowd boo louder. "Aww poor AJ."
I hear a commotion from behind me. "Look out." Seth shouts.
Paige charges at me and at the last second I quickly move out of the way and Paige collides with AJ and they both fall to the floor. "Look at these two pathetic divas." I laugh and the crowd boo.
I grab AJ and roll her in the ring and do the same thing with Paige. "Sarah is not finished." Cole alerts.
I follow the girls into the ring as Seth slowly climbs the steps. I stalk them and as AJ is in the middle of the ring on all fours, I send Seth a smirk and run the ropes and deliver a curb stop. "Sarah just curb stomped AJ." JBL shouts.
I laugh as I look down at AJ and glance back at Seth and grin. "Seth is smiling, he loved that." Jerry notices.
I then look to see Paige on all fours. "Oh no, Paige is stirring." Cole worries.
I run the ropes and deliver a Curb Stomp to Paige and the crowd boo loudly blowing the roof off. I stand up straight and Seth hands me my title. I stand over the two fallen divas and raise my title above them. "Sarah just sent a message to her opponents, you do not make her mad and deffinately do not call Seth a sellout." JBL addresses.
"God she's smiling." Cole scoffs as my music blares.
Once back through the curtain I hug Colby. "Jeeze they hated me." I chuckle.
He laughs. "The heat you got was insane, you are becoming a very hated."
"All thanks to you and your finisher."
"You almost did it better than me."
I laugh. "Almost, I did do it better."
He hugs me and the girls come back through the curtain. "Damn I don't like that finisher." Saraya winces.
I laugh. "You okay?"
"Nothing neurofen won't fix."
