Lover's Pentagon

Help Wanted?

Kathrine's POV

The weeks seem to be flying by! It was time for Monday Night Raw again! This time is different because I have a match against Becky Lynch. I did my usual before the show. I went to hair and makeup, put my gear on, and hung out with The Judgement Day in catering while I waited for Becky and I's time slot to arrive. We were the third to last match of the night so my anxiety was through the roof. It was my first singles match back in over a year. It was easy to not be nervous during the rumble since more than just 2 people were in the ring. Fewer eyes on me if I possibly mess up. I had to remind myself that I knew what I was doing and so did Becky. If a move gets botched, both of us will recover!

Rhea's POV

I could tell Kathrine was nervous. I've always known about her anxiety issues and she's usually able to manage them on her own, but right now she seems to be having a hard time with it. I text the boys in a group chat without Kathrine letting them know what I'm seeing. We came up with the idea to wait in our clubhouse that WWE puts together for us every week. She hadn't been to the clubhouse yet so hopefully us giving her a small tour of it will help get her mind off of her match for a bit.

We showed her everything we had in the clubhouse! She eventually played darts with Damian. Well, more so she attempted to play darts while Damian showed her how to throw the dart correctly. Before we knew it, Triple H came knocking to grab Kathrine for her match. I went with her while the boys stayed behind. I gave her some encouraging words before she headed out to the ring. I watched as Becky made her entrance, then Kathrine. The both of them were kicking ass! I looked away from the screen in gorilla for literally 2 seconds when all of a sudden I saw Damage Control making their way through the audience toward the ring. Not only were they teasing Becky but they were also teasing Kathrine! I gave Triple H a look that I wanted to go out there to help Kathrine. He leaned over to talk to the producers and gave a nod letting me know I could go out.

I didn't want my music to play and possibly distract Kathrine so I just walked out. Everyone was confused to see me. I mean, people knew that Kathrine and I were best friends in real life but they weren't expecting me to come out. Once Damage Control saw me they, stopped messing with Kathrine and focused on Becky. After a few minutes, Bayley jumped up on the apron and started trash-talking Kathrine and Becky. Iyo and Dakota joined Bayley. I slid into the ring to protect Kathrine. All 3 of us stared at Damage Control as they continued to run their mouths. The 3 of us then looked at each other and proceeded to kick all of Damage Control off of the apron onto the floor. Kathrine and I stayed in the ring while Becky beat the shit out of Damage Control on her own. Once Becky was finished, she rolled back into the ring. When the ref's back was to us, I handed Kathrine a pair of brass knuckles to use on Becky. So when Becky turned around, she got a face full of metal fist! Kathrine made sure to hide the knuckles before she pinned Becky. Kathrine had her down for the 3 count and won!

I slid back into the ring and gave her a big hug! I held up her left arm while the ref held up her right, signifying Kathrine as the winner! The ref and I let go of her arms and we hugged again! "This is a bit unusual for Rhea Ripley" "Helping Kathrine Victoria pick up a win? Now that's different" "Maybe Rhea and The Judgement Day have plans cooking up with Kathrine?" "I guess we'll have to wait and see," the commentators said back and forth. Everyone was surprised to see me helping Kathrine but they also enjoyed it! Maybe Kathrine should join The Judgement Day for the faction part of it!

Kathrine's POV

I thanked Rhea for helping me as soon as we got to gorilla. We walked back to the boys and I was greeted with congratulatory hugs from each! My first singles match back was a success! The Judgement Day still had some story stuff to do before the show ended. While they were taking care of business, I made my way to my dressing room to change out of my gear. I took my time getting unready.

I was playing some music so I couldn't hear if someone was knocking on my door. I was lost in putting away my makeup for touch-ups when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see it was Dominik. "Aren't you supposed to be heading to gorilla right now?" I asked. "I don't have to be there for a few minutes. I wanted to check on you. Your anxiety seemed pretty bad earlier." "Yeah, it hasn't gotten that bad in years. Thanks for helping get my mind off of it though." "Anything for you Hermosa!" "Hermosa means beautiful right?" "Yup! And that's exactly what you are. Beautiful."

Dominik got close to me. Like really close. He put his hands on my waist. I felt my heart beat faster and louder. Even though there was music playing on low, I bet he could still hear my heart beating. We just stared at each other. Our lips got close, dangerously close. As much as I do want this, I'm still unsure of my feelings. Anything physical with any of them needed to wait until I talked to Mrs. Brooks. I looked up at Dominik with unsure eyes. Before I could pull away, he grabbed my face and held it close to his with our lips just inches away from each other. I closed my eyes just in case he leaned in but he didn't. He let go of his hold and planted a kiss on my cheek. I opened my eyes to see him smiling. "Like I said, anything for you, Hermosa!" I stood in place in shock as I watched him leave my dressing room. What the hell just happened?

Dominik's POV

I closed the door to Kathrine's dressing room behind me and headed to gorilla. I could tell she wanted to kiss but something was holding her back. She looked unsure. Maybe going in there was a bad idea. But I could hear and kind of feel her heart. It was beating hella fast and hard. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea.

"What's got you all smiley?" Damian asked breaking my train of thought. "I just went to go check in on Kathrine. Make sure she was ok from earlier." "Is she?" asked Finn. "She is! She definitely is!" I looked at my partners as we stood in silence. "Oh my god! Something happened between you two!" Rhea stated excitedly. "Maybe... maybe not." "You're not gonna tell us?" asked Damian. "Hey, you guys are on 30 seconds." Triple H said as he walked by us. "Guess it's gonna have to wait anyways," Finn stated in an annoyed tone.

Kathrine's POV

Victor: Hey KV! The owners of the 2 houses you've been eyeing have agreed to a private showing! The first one is at 1 and the other is at 2 on Thursday. Are you going to fly back with The Judgement Day tomorrow?

Kathrine: Yes, I'm flying with them tomorrow! Thank you for getting those times for me! Do you think I could bring them with me to the showings?

Victor: Seeing how it's a private showing, I think you can bring whoever you want! Have you told them you're moving to Florida yet?

Kathrine: Not yet but since they're coming with us, they'll definitely know before we enter the houses!

Victor: Alright then. See you guys on Thursday!

I packed up the rest of my stuff and watched the rest of Raw. I don't know if Dominik told the others about our little interaction but what I do know is I need to keep myself composed. I need to focus on this move! The last time I lived in Florida was when I was 18. When I first signed with WWE. When I was 20, I decided to move back to LA and live half there and half in Florida just to make it easier on my schedule. I lived in LA and Florida back and forth for 2 years. I think it's finally time to move back out there. Not only am I going to be closer to WWE stuff and the business I have going on in New York but I'll be able to be closer to Rhea, Damian, Finn, and Dominik! The houses I'm looking at are 15 minutes away from where they are! I know they'll be happy to hear that I'm moving back to Florida! I can't wait to be close to them, in many different ways!

A/N: Happy Mania week guys!!! As I said in my post yesterday, I'm gonna try to post a couple of chapters this week in honor of Wrestlemania being this weekend!
