He's mine

Chapter 1

He's Mine

AJ Lee stood before the monitor backstage, a huge smile on her face as she watched her close friend Dolph Ziggler in a tag team match with Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton and Sheamus. He looked so cute out there in his zebra-striped trunks, the arena lights shining off of his tanned and sweaty skin. AJ found herself biting her bottom lip as Dolph did a few show-offy crunches next to the downed Sheamus. How she wanted to run her hand down those perfect abs...

"Making it anymore obvious that you have a thing for Ziggy, AJ?" her best Diva friend Haley asked, coming up to stand beside her. She glanced at the lustful look on AJ's face and laughed.

"He's just so...perfect." AJ sighed dreamily, not even bothering to deny Haley's claim that she had a thing for Dolph. Because she did. She definitely did.

Haley gave her a surprised look. "Oh, you got it bad," she smirked.

"About as bad as you have it for Orton." AJ retorted, tearing her eyes off of the screen to shoot a smirk of her own at her best friend.

"Yeah, but at least I have him already." Haley pointed out. "You need to go after your man, AJ. With looks like that, he isn't going to be single for long."

AJ sighed as she realized that Haley was right. She couldn't wait around forever for Dolph to come around. She would have to tell him how she really felt, and soon.

Dolph and Cody ended up losing their match after Randy RKO'd Cody. AJ waited by the tunnel entrance for her crush to emerge, her stomach doing nervous backflips. What if he doesn't feel the same way about me? She worried. What if he laughs at me or something? Deep down she knew that Dolph would never laugh at her for confessing her feelings, but she was nervous so she was also being a little bit irrational.

Randy and Sheamus exited the tunnel first, both of them giving her curious looks as they passed. Cody trailed a few feet behind, rubbing his head and grumbling something about how Randy hit him way too hard. He paid her no attention as he went by, and AJ was a little relieved by that. Cody had always scared her a little bit.

Finally, the sound of Vickie Guerrero's screechy voice reached her ears and AJ shifted from one foot to the other anxiously, knowing that wherever Vickie was Dolph was usually a few steps ahead of her. The woman seemed obsessed with him, and that had pissed AJ off on more than one occasion. It was also a well-known fact that Vickie hated her for all the time that she spent with Dolph, and the feeling was mutual.

Dolph emerged from the tunnel, and AJ was immediately captivated. He was so beautiful...

Dolph sensed someone watching him and turned his head suddenly, meeting AJ's wide-eyed brown gaze. He smiled brightly, happy to see his favorite person. "You waiting for me?" he called, walking over to her.

As AJ smiled back at him, she noticed Vickie coming out of the tunnel just behind him. Vickie spotted Dolph talking to her and narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, actually I was." AJ told Dolph. "I have to talk to you. It's important."

"Okay," Dolph said, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms over his chest, giving her his full attention. "Shoot."

"I, um, well I know we've been really good friends for a long time, and lately I've just been getting these feelings like I...um. What I mean is, I think that I'm-"

"Dolph!" a voice shrieked, cutting AJ off. Vickie came stomping over, her gigantic heels click-clacking on the floor. She shot AJ a cold glare and grabbed Dolph's arm. "We have to go, you're cutting a promo in a few minutes," she told her client.

"Oh shit, I forgot." Dolph groaned, slapping a hand to his forehead. He looked at AJ, his gorgeous blue eyes apologetic. "I'm really sorry AJ, can we continue this talk later?"
