I woke up in the morning to someone knocking on the door. Paige answered it. Jon walked in followed by Joe.
"Hey Jon. Hey Joe." Paige said.
I sat up in bed and smiled at them.
"Hey. What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"Well, we were gonna go to the gym and Joe wanted to know if you wanna come." Jon said.
I smiled. "Sure. Just let me get dressed first."
"What about you Paige? You wanna come too?" Jon asked.
"Sure." she said.
I walked into the bathroom and changed into black yoga shorts that were really tight and short and a black sports bra. I put on a white loose tank top over it until we got to the gym. I put on my white Nike tennis shoes and then put my hair up in a high messy ponytail. I looked pretty hot.
When I walked back out, Joe's eyes just about popped out of his head. I chuckled and then grabbed my water bottle. We were ready.
"Don't you think you should put some longer shorts on?" Jon asked me.
"No. I always wear these shorts this short." I told him.
"Okay. Let's go." he said.

When we got to the gym, Paige and I went over to the ring to practice moves while the guys went to lift weights. After we were done practicing, we sat down in the middle of the ring.
"So I think Jon likes you." I said.
"What? I don't think so." she said.
"Did you hear his tone this morning when he asked if you wanted to come?" I asked.
"Yeah. It sounded friendly." she said.
"Yeah. 'Friendly'." I said.
"Oh stop. What about Joe? I think he likes you. He just about passed out when you walked out of the bathroom."
"I don't think so. He's just being friendly. I just met him yesterday." I said.
"Okay Katie. Whatever you say." she said.
"Hey ladies." I heard.
I looked in front of us and Bray Wyatt was there. "Hey." I said. I got up and walked over to him.

JOE'S P.O.V.
I was lifting weights with Jon and watching Katie and Paige workout. Katie was definitely hot.
"You like her, don't you?" Jon asked.
"Yeah. She's awesome." I said.
"You should ask her out. If anybody is gonna be right for you it's her." he said.
I looked back over to her and saw Bray talking to her. "Too late." I said.
I watched as they were talking and laughing together. It was like they were flirting with each other. Jealousy filled my entire body.
"Dude. You have nothing to worry about there. I mean, yeah Bray likes her but Katie doesn't see him that way. She just wants to be friends with him." Jon said.
"Are you sure? They seem to be really close to each other." I said.
"I'm sure they're just having a small conversation. Don't worry about it. But if you're gonna be like this every time, you definitely need to ask her out." he said.
"Maybe I will."

KATIE'S P.O.V.
We were done at the gym and decided to go back to the hotel so we could get ready for TLC. I did have a title match to focus on.
Joe was walking with me while Jon and Paige stayed in the car to talk.
"So don't tell me that you're one of those girls who doesn't realize when a guy is flirting with you." he said.
"Why? Are you trying to flirt with me?" I asked.
"No. Well, yes. I don't know. I'm talking about Bray." he said.
"Bray Wyatt. Yeah. I know he flirts with me."
"And it doesn't bother you?"
"No. He knows that I only wanna be friends. He has a way of disregarding that though. I have no interest in him." I said.
"Oh." he said.
"Were you jealous?" I asked.
"What? No. Of course not." he said.
"Uhuh. Sure." I said.
"Okay, I'm just gonna come right out and ask you." he paused. "Do you wanna go out with me tonight?"
"Are you asking me on a date?"
"Yeah. I am."
"Then sure. I'd love to." I said.
"Great." he smiled. "I'll pick you up at your hotel room? After TLC?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I should probably go get my stuff ready for TLC. I make my big return tonight."
"Yeah. Me too. I guess I'll see you there."
"Actually. Do you wanna ride with me to the arena?"
"I'd like that." I said.
"Great."
We went our separate ways and got our stuff ready. I met him by his truck and we drove to the arena. When we got there I got ready for my title match against AJ.
***
I was in the ring waiting for AJ to come out. Once she got out in the ring, the match started.
We locked up and I got her in a headlock. She hit my side until I let her go and then kicked me in the gut.
***
Towards the end of the match she had me in the Black Widow. It was so painful. I was yelling, screaming in pain.
"Tap!" she yelled.
I eventually got out of the hold but I was in so much pain. I didn't think I could move.
She got me up and I found enough energy to kick her in the gut and give her a Dirty Deeds. I pinned her and won.
I sat up, put my head in my hands and cried.
The ref helped me stand up and he handed me the title while raising my hand. I raised the title high above my head and then just stood there looking at it. This was a dream come true.
When I got to the back, the first person to give me a hug was Jon. He picked me up and hugged me while I wrapped my legs around him. I cried on his shoulder.
"You did it." he said.
"I'm so happy." I said.
He put me down and moved hair out of my face. He put his hands on either side of my head and smiled at me. "You've worked so hard for this. You deserve it." he said.
I cried in his chest. This was the happiest day of my life.
