Tapping my acrylic nails on my steering wheel, I let out a sigh. The traffic had been awful today, thank God I left so early, eager to get set up. Today, we meet our guests from New Japan. It had been just over a week since I was given my little file of names, and they will all be appearing on shows from tonight leading up to the Pay Per View.
I strode into the arena, pushing my sunglasses up onto the top of my head and pulled my case behind me. As I walked round the corner, I saw what I was looking for, a sheet of paper on a door that read "Glam Squad". To my surprise, the door was already open and upon entering I noticed Shana, already set up at a station, inspecting herself in the mirror "Someone's eager" I smirked, making her jump. She let out a sigh of relief and smiled "Hey, there's my top bitch". That made me chuckle "Well, you certainly made an effort today" I commented on her brown heeled boots, tight blue jeans and low cut white crop top, not to mention the perfectly tousled wavy hair, stunning natural makeup and pretty false eyelashes. "I have no idea what you're talking about" She replied, sticking her tongue out at me playfully and gestured to my own outfit "I see you're keeping it typically you, I like the blazer though" she said, pointing out the slight change to my normal work clothes. I always wore, black jeans, ankle boots, a simple vest top and my signature leather jacket, but I always like making sure people know I'm the boss. So today, gone was my usual jacket and instead, I wore a simple, smart/casual dark blazer with the sleeves rolled up to just above my elbows.
After an hour or so, the other makeup artists had arrived and started setting up as the arena started to buzz with the low rumbling of conversations, trainers, producers, wrestlers, medical staff and all other personnel that had arrived to the arena to prepare for tonight's Dynamite.
A satisfied sigh escaped me as I smiled at the room, some time had passed and all stations were set up, a few wrestlers were already in the room talking to the squad about makeup looks and skin care. My own station was set with a wide array of lotions, creams, sprays and many other products that I knew would be more than useful for the next few weeks. "Hey boss!?" Called Tanzi "Do you happen to have any more of that chamomile cleansing butter?" She asked as I spotted Darby Allin in front of her looking sheepish. I rolled my eyes, smiled and nodded, Darby was forever losing the makeup remover I had introduced him to "Who do you think I am?" I responded "Of course, I have a spare tin in the car for emergencies such as this" I called back grinning as I walked backwards out of the room, however as I exited the room by a few feet, still going in reverse, my back hit something firm with a thud. I span around quickly to see what, or who I had walked into.
"You alright darlin'?" he said, his deep voice catching me off guard "Yeah, I'm fine thanks, sorry for bumping into you, you okay?" I replied as casually as I could, looking into his blue eyes. " He smiled and it took my breath away "Don't worry about it love, I'm Will" He held out his hand, I instantly put my business head on "Sam, pleasure to meet you" I took his large warm hand and gave it a small shake, the cheeky smile not leaving his face. He glanced at the pass hanging from my belt loops "You a wrestler or crew?" He asked, but before I could answer, Shana was tapping my shoulder "Sorry to interrupt boss, but I need your help" she said, glancing at the gorgeous man in front of me who looked impressed as she called me boss, I turned to Will "Sorry sweet, clearly I'm in demand" I spoke before turning to head back into the glam room "Maybe I'll see you later yeah?" He called after me, I thought I could hear hope in his voice, "Well, you know where to find me" I said as I glanced back at him over my shoulder.
I cleared my head quickly before putting myself back in work mode, "Here" I reached into my pocket and threw my car keys to Tanzi "There's a tin or two in the white bag in the back of my car" I called, seeing Darby getting his face paint started, knowing he would be needing the remover in a few hours. I then set about helping Shana and overseeing everybody's work, though my mind couldn't help but wander and I found myself thinking about him. Will Ospreay. The Commonwealth Kingpin they called him. That smile of his melted me and I couldn't wait to see it again, I hoped he would come and find me.
To my delight, only an hour had passed before I saw him walk in scanning the room, his eyes stopped on me and he smiled that gorgeous smile. "Hey Sam" he said looking slightly nervous, which surprised me, I thought the confident champion would have no problem talking to women. "Hey, you found me, what can I do for you?" I asked him. "The lads said, you could help...... My chest is sore...and a bit dry" He said before taking off his shirt, much to my enjoyment, and I instantly saw what he was talking about "Shaving rash?" I asked raising an eyebrow, He nodded, clearly not wanting everybody to know he had shaved his chest "I don't do it often, I don't really need to but you know, big show" He said, nervously playing with the t-shirt in his hands, "I have just the thing, don't worry" I smiled, turning back to my station and digging in my bag for the bottle I needed "Here" I held out the bottle "Soothing Aloe Vera Moisturizer" I stated, but he didn't take the bottle, instead he spoke quietly "Can you do it? It's sore and you're hands are softer than mine" he laughed nervously, I nodded and smiled before uncapping the bottle and pouring the fresh scented lotion onto my hand, I tried my best to remain focused and professional as well as calm, as I placed the bottle down.
I stepped closer, smelling his after shave as I spread the lotion between my hands and gently placed them on his toned chest. As my hands slid over his firm pecs, I couldn't bring myself to look in his eyes though I could feel his gaze on me as a sigh of relief left his lips, the soothing lotion, obviously doing it's job. "There you go, that should help" I told him, grabbing a towel to wipe my hands, and turning to finally look at his face, his expression was soft, cute even "Thank you" He said "Maybe I'll wear a t-shirt when I make my appearance tonight". I nodded before hearing my name from one of the stations around the room "I better get back to work."
Will replaced his shirt "Thanks again darlin', us Brit's have to stick together" He smiled "See you later!" He called as he left. I went back to helping out around the room and as the night went on, I just kept remembering the feeling of my hands on his chest. The rest of the night went by quickly, I managed to watch Will's segment on a tv backstage, his cocky, confident demeanor very different to the cute, nervous man I had helped earlier, but I was more than a little disappointed that he didn't come and see me again. I didn't see him for the rest of the night, but found myself anticipating the next show, that meant I would get to see him again.
