Hey everyone, it's already the 13th chapter of this story I intended to write in only 6 or 7! Thank you for your reviews and following.

In the next days I'm thinking about re-writing the first chapters as I'm not really satisfied with them. Let me know what you think.

Chapter 13

Mina was in Hunter's office with the creative department and top-level superstars, presenting them her ideas for Summerslam. She had worked hard to gather all the ideas and arrange them into costumes that would be both epic to see and easy to remove for the matches. She had studied everything; from the material she would need to every superstar's entrance to make sure all the costumes would fit perfectly. Hunter was expecting a lot from her and she wanted to make sure to show him she could do better than the last Wrestlemania where he had praised her for the costumes she had created. She nervously waited as they were looking at her sketches. Hunter raised his head towards her.

- "It's settled then. Mina, we agreed on all your ideas. You can start crafting right now, let me know if you need anything more, I'll make sure you are provided everything you need." He warmly said.

- "Thank you, Boss" Mina politely answered. "I will go to my workshop and get everything started, tell me if you need anything."

Hunter had become much warmer with her over time. At the beginning, he was harsh and cold, thinking he didn't have the choice but to hire her since she had the support of his number one faction. He quickly changed his mind seeing how serious and talented she was, becoming more polite and friendly towards her. However, in front of other office workers, he would keep his serious tone. She entered her workshop and started to craft sewing patterns for what would be her main task for the next month.

Days and weeks passed at a rattling pace as she spent almost all her time creating outfits for Summerslam. She would just spare some time to go training with her friends early in the morning, unable to spend more time with them between the shows. At the beginning she was terribly tired as she couldn't sleep correctly, having dreams about Damian and pleasure. One night she surrendered to temptation and started to rub her clit, feeling a pleasure she only dreamed about tearing her belly. Day after day, she kept exploring her body with her hands, looking for more and more pleasure, feeling strong of being in control of her own body and ecstasy. She felt changed during the day, where she would be more jovial, smiled more, feeling more at her ease with her body. Mina, who would always stay discreet, avoiding violent gestures, stay in the shadows in this world of light, suddenly became a sparkle fluttering in the performance centre and lighting every arena she was in. Hunter had made her appear in more segments, wanting to show more of the backstages and creative work behind WWE. Her friends had praised her a lot about these changes in her behaviour and mood, especially Finn, who felt happy to see her open so much. Damian also spent as much time with her as he could, drowning in her happiness and being more and more demonstrative with her, he started hugging her for no reason, holding her hand just by pure pleasure and let his lovely caring side be seen. She had talked with Rhea about her personal life during one of their girls' talks in the hotel rooms, when the wrestler guessed the reason of her changes just by the way she was smiling. She had advised her to buy some toys to diversify the pleasures, arguing that she enjoyed using them with Dom when they wanted to be naughtier. She had ordered a couple of dildos and vibrators online and started using them more and more often, rediscovering the sweet sensation to have her clit rubbed by something else than her fingers and to feel her vagina being filled again.

Her nights went shorter as she spent more and more time working and rediscovering pleasure and thinking about sharing her life again with somebody. Every morning she would try to mask her dark circles with makeup but had to admit she really needed sleep. Even Hunter had reassured her by saying that when she would have finished, he would give her some days off, admitting she was doing the work of three people on her own. When the fitting day finally occurred, she was exhausted but proud of her job. The wrestlers came in her workshop one by one to try on their outfits and test them to be sure their entrance would be flowless. Seth and Becky would even hug her tight and give her a nice bottle of wine to thank her for the attires, especially the little cloak she had made Roux to match both her parents' colours. Of course, some other athletes weren't that nice and considerate, seeing her as a shadow-working minion, Liv Morgan even accusing her to make preferences, as Rhea's attire was more sumptuous than hers. Mina couldn't tell her that it was simply because the Judgment Day's universe was closer to her personal preferences than hers. Liv tried to mess up with her by pulling her hair when Bailey came in to stop her just in time, avoiding a fight. Thankfully Bailey was the last wrestler to deal with about the Summerslam attires and she was easy going enough to allow her to rest her mind. It had been decided that everybody would make an appearance on the Monday Night RAW that occurred that day to make their promo and carry the storylines. With some luck, there wouldn't be too much repair to do and she would be able to fix the last details on the attires she was currently working on.

Mina was packing her material, yawning in exhaustion and craving to go to bed for a much-needed sleep when JD knocked on her door.

- "I hope you don't want me to repair anything JD, I'm already packing" she said in a tired tone.

- "Don't worry Sweety, nothing to do with work" he started, showing his empty hands. "I just wanted to ask you on a date."

- "For the last time JD, I'm not interested. I like you as a friend, and, sorry to be blunt, but you are too much of a seducer for me to feel safe with you. I don't want our friendship to be broken because of a failed relationship." She said in one breath.

Honesty must have come with exhaustion in her case. She was not interested in dating JD or having a relationship with him, knowing very well that it would end up in tears and problems. She could trust him for everything but feelings, he was a seducer, a sex hunter, definitely not a lover. Besides, the idea of dating him felt wrong to her, a tall Puerto Rican man constantly popping in her mind each time JD had asked her out. Since that night he had told her he loved her, her mind wouldn't stop creating scenarios where he was not delusional. Over time she had started to admit she might not only feel friendship for Damian, even if he was complicated to understand, always looking like something was bothering him.

- "I get it Mina." JD said in a sad tone. "I would have loved to be the one to bring good love memory in your mind."

- "Come on JD, I'm not a teenager, I don't fall for this anymore" she chuckled.

- "Do you think you will be able to date someone while the last memory you have of a relationship are violence?" He said, a strange sparkle in his eyes.

- "What do you mean?"

- "Let's make a deal, Mina. Let me kiss you so in your memory your last kiss would not be with a jerk."

- "I won't kiss a friend" she answered with a puzzled look.

- "Just a kiss means nothing, Mina. It won't change anything between us. Let me just show you how sweet a little closeness with a man can be." He said while getting closer to her.

Without letting her the time to answer, he leaned to her face and captured her lips with his. She didn't move, surprise seeming to tie her body still. He was soft and gentle with his kiss, waiting for her to respond in any way. He was playing his last card with this deal, if she accepted a kiss, he could try to go further and maybe over time she would agree to be more intimate and have sex with him. She was definitely too complicated for him to want her as a girlfriend, but he still wanted her body anyway and if this deal could help her to move on her trauma, he would have hit two targets with one stone. On one hand, she would gain confidence in herself and pleasure, on the other hand he would be able to finally sleep with her without having to carry on a love story. But if she refused, he would have to give up on the idea to ever have her and maybe she would not trust him anymore. He tried to tease her lips with his tongue, wanting her to decide if he could go lips tasted delicious to him and he wanted more of her. He got his answer as she put her hands on his torso and pushed him firmly away from her.

- "Do not ever do that again" she said angrily.

- "Alright, Sweety. I won't bother you again." He said with a smirk. "May I ask you something?"

- "Go ahead" she abruptly answered, still shaken with what happened.

- "Does your heart already belong to somebody else?" he asked.

- "Yes." She answered without thinking.

A noise echoed in the corridor, surprising them both. He headed to the door as she hastily went back to packing her equipment, her hands shaking incontrolably.

Damian was struggling to remain calm and clenched his fists, hitting the wall as strong as he could. He was about to go to see Mina to have a little chat with her and when he looked inside the workshop, he saw JD kissing Mina. According to her opened eyes, he had taken her by surprise. His first reflex was to hide back behind the wall to try to forget what he had just witnessed. "Fuck! Tell me that's not true!" Trying to muzzle his wrath, he kept listening to what was happening inside the workshop. Apparently, Mina didn't agree to that kiss and was mad at JD. "Thank God!" Then he heard the words that would break him: "Does your heart belong to someone else? -Yes". That was too much for him, he hit the wall out of anger and started to run away from the corridor.

Following his habits and without thinking, he went directly to the club house, slammed the door shut and started tossing chairs across the room. Unable to think after what he had heard; he didn't see Rhea coming to him to grab his arms to prevent him from destroying something.

- "Let me go!" He screamed to her, trying to kick any object he could reach.

- "Not 'till you tell me what the hell is happening to you!" She shouted back, forcing him to sit on the couch.

- "This little piece of shit of JD kissed her!" he said while holding his head with two hands, pulling his hair.

- "Kissed who?" echoed Finn's voice in the room. When he saw the murderous look on Damian's face, he left the club house to try to find JD or Mina to understand what was happening.

Damian curled up on the couch, containing his rage and sadness. He explained to Rhea and Dominik, who had joined the conversation, everything he had seen and heard. JD kissing Mina, the dressmaker pushing him back and confessing she was in love with somebody else. Dom looked confused, he never had noticed his teammate's feelings for the long-haired woman, too busy to be the best version of himself to his beloved Mami.

- "What are you the most upset about?" Rhea started. "Upset! I'm not upset I'm pissed!" He thought. "Is it because he kissed her or because she is in love with someone else?"

- "Both. But knowing she is in love with someone hurts so much" he honestly answered, remembering hearing Mina pushing JD away from her.

- "Do you know who this someone is?" Dom tried. "Everything it tells us is that she is not in love with JD."

- "What do you mean?" Damian asked.

- "He is right" Rhea said. "That mysterious someone might be you, who knows?" She asked while patting his back.

- "In what world would that happen? It could be anybody, Randy, a referee, Roman or even Finn for what I know!" he shouted.

JD entered the club house and found his friends on the couch. He took a step back when he saw Damian's murderous gaze but Dom got up to grab his arm, telling him that he would be wiser to talk with Damian. As he approached the couch, Rhea and Dom left the room to give them some privacy.

- "Listen, man, I don't know why you are so pissed about but…" he started.

- "Shut up! Why did you do that? Why did you have to want her? Whe do you need to have them all?" He shouted, trying his best to contain his anger.

- "Ah.. I just tried my luck; you never said you were interested." JD nervously answered.

Damian felt his veins exploding and seized his neck with one hand. He knew it was true and that made him even more angry, both at himself and at his teammate.

- "She doesn't want me anyway. I will let her alone. Please, put me down" He pleaded, fearing for his safety.

- "I love her, you asshole!" Damian shouted, tightening his grip around JD's neck. "And you just ruined everything! You were supposed to be her friend and you betrayed her; how will she be able to trust anyone after this? If I lose her because of you, I swear that I will make sure you will never be able to wrestle again!" He said, finally letting JD breath.

- "I didn't know I swear" JD said, grasping for air. "If you had told me, I would never have tried anything with her. You know me man, I never touch a friends' girlfriend, only random girls."

-"She is no random girl" Damian said, sitting back on the couch.

Damian started to calm down, seeing honesty in his teammate's eyes. He wanted to hit him so badly but knew that it would be useless and cause troubles. He didn't want to show violence around Mina to avoid reviving her trauma regarding man's violence. He didn't want her to see him as a monster. Anyway, he knew that he would have to open to her soon, before it was too late.

Finn entered the sewing workshop with nothing but worry in his mind. He found Mina, feverishly tidying the place, sobbing quietly. Her face hidden behind her long hair tangled with numerous threads. He walked towards her, knowing that she would hear him come as there was no music playing on the radio for once. She faced him, lowering her gaze before taking refuge in his arms. He hugged her tight, guiding her to sit on the floor with him and stroking her head softly to give her time to calm down.

- "I know what happened Rapunzel." He said softly. "It is not your fault."

- "I'm scared Teddy Bear!" She said, looking at him with tears flowing on her cheeks. "I never wanted to cause any problem in the team."

- "There won't be any problem, Rhea got this, and believe me, she is able to make both JD and Damian fit in a get along T-shirt 'till all of this is cleared." He chuckled, trying to ease the atmosphere.

- "Damian? Does he know?" She asked, her eyes widening with fear.

- "He saw you guys" he confessed. "But don't worry, he would never be mad at you for something you are not responsible for."

- "And what if he does?"

- "And what if the world ends tomorrow? Stop overthinking and believe me. We got this and Damian would never do anything to harm you." He said while pushing her head on his chest.

Mina let all her worries leave her body through crying. They stayed like this for several minutes, until Mina felt ready to get up and wipe away her tears. Her makeup had been removed by her tears, letting her dark circles appear under her green eyes, puffed and reddened with crying so much. He got up and helped her tidying her workshop and getting ready to go back to the hotel. She was visibly exhausted by working so much and he had no doubt that any trouble could lead her to collapse. He knew too well how worried she was to cause any trouble to the team, feeling indebted for what they had done for her. She would do everything for them even if it meaned forgetting about her own needs. He gave her her purse and gently guided her towards the door when Rhea appeared.

- "Time to go and get some sleep" she said.
