(Un)Break me - Rhea Ripley x reader

Ideas down the drain & swearing

Fuck this.

Rhea's POV

It was only 5:30AM but since I had so much to do today, I had to leave early. I wake up before Y/N and leave some coffee ready in the kitchen before kissing her goodbye. She always smiles in her sleep when I do that.

After going to the gym, I went to a meeting I had scheduled with my lawyer to see how the whole contract update situation was going.

"Please tell me you have good news?"

"Unfortunately, I don't. Do you remember how we talked about contract updates?" I nod. "The agency is not giving in and neither is Jennifer or WWE, for that matter. They don't want any of their employees that are not wrestlers dating you."

"Shit." I pull my hair in frustration. I was positive this was going to work. Even if her agency didn't let her back in, I was hoping that WWE could have her hired as photographer or something.

"I'm sorry."

A couple seconds of silence reign between us before an idea pops in my head.

"Ok but, question, now that there isn't any contract tying her, I suppose I can be open about our relationship, is that right?"

"Well, yes. She's technically a stranger to both of the companies now, but be aware that it may make things harder for her to get a job." I hum in response. Fuck, back to square one. Unless...

Unless I get through Jennifer, and Triple H myself, leaving my lawyer out of it. I can work with that.

"Just one more question, there's nothing saying I can't have a real relationship, right?"

"Not in your contract, no, but your P.A will not be the happiest." What the fuck? I know Jennifer is annoying to deal with but the way he said it made me think there's something I'm not aware of. Either way, I brush those thoughts to the back of my mind, focusing once again on the important matter. 

"I have to talk to Triple H."

I thank my lawyer for his work and go find the head of creative. We talk for a few minutes and he is still very hesitant about letting me make Y/N and I's relationship public on Raw. I know it's a long shot but I have to at least try.

"I don't know, Rhea, it really won't go well."

"What they did to her was unfair."

"No, it wasn't. There was a contract and she broke it."

"She didn't break anything!"

"Rhea, why don't you take a breather?" When I notice he isn't bulging, I simply take a deep breath and nod.

"Ok. Thank you for your time." I reply simply before leaving. I was frustrated to say the least, both of my ideas went down the drain in the span of a few hours.

It is so annoying. Everything I do with Dom, Cathy, Samantha (or anyone, really) is for entertainment only, this is my job. WWE has wrestling and storylines, it's not a secret to anyone but a lot of people seem to have forgotten my job and my personal life are two separate things. That's where things got messy, I guess. I may have to work to separate it a bit more. I just don't know how, all I know is I won't get past Wrestlemsnia without letting the world know I'm taken.

Fuck this .

Once I get out of the office, I check my phone only to find out notifications from Y/N, which calmed me down almost instantly.

"good morning from your favorite baes"

(view once image attached)

sent 11:04AM

It was a picture of her still in my bed, with Barry, Luna and the laptop playing Criminal Minds all on top of her. A smile forms and I reply immediately.

"Hey babes!!"

"Why would you send it in view once, though?😭"

"You two look so cute, I wanna save it"

"nope, not happening, my face is all weird"

"Come onnnnnnnnnn"

"Please?"

"I love your face"

"nope :) "

"You're mean"

"haha"

"i didn't save the picture though"

"sorry love"

"looks like you'll have to wake me up to see it irl next time😈"

"I can't. You know I hate waking you up"

"You deserve all the sleep in the world, Princess of Undersleeping"

"i'd give up some sleep to be with you, though"

I roll my eyes in an 'ugh I love her so much' way before seeing Priest passing by. I catch up to him and we chat a bit. He asked me how things are with Y/N so I told him that we were getting back on track, that the fog was gone.

"I suppose that's why you two lovebirds have been too busy to answer me about dinner tonight?" He wiggles his eyebrows and I punch his arm.

"Shit. I totally forgot to tell Y/N, but let me ask her right now." I motion for my phone.

"Btw"

"Priest invited us to a get-together  at his place tonight

"How do you feel about going?"

"Let me tell her something." I can barely hit send before he reaches for my phone, making me curious with what he'd tell her. Damian then presses the record button:

"Y/N, guapa, hey, Damian here. I made my cookies and cream cheesecake, it would be a shame to throw it away."

I laugh and he hits send. It's not a secret to anyone that she has a sweet tooth. Y/N'a response comes almost immediately.

"that's a low blow, priest."

"we are going."

"Don't feel pressured by that bastard"

"It's ok if you don't want to"

"no it's fine! let's go!"

"it's been a while since i last saw people"

"also i've been dying to try that cheesecake, it better be good otherwise he might have to sleep with one eye open"

I show Priest the message and he laughs. He records another audio: " Done deal"

"It's up then"

"perfect"

"i'll pass by the supermarket and get something for us to take"

"love you"

"Love you too"

"Ttyl"

Y/N liked your message

We chat a little longer and I tell him about the situation.

"Rhea, I can see why they think Y/N is not good for your image, but to be honest, she's good for you, of course she has her issues, we all do, but I haven't seen you this happy and lightweight  in a while. Even if it's not a forever thing, why shouldn't you do something if you feel like it? You clearly love each other and no one else beside you has a say in your life." I hug him and he messes with my hair like an older brother would.

Right then and there I knew what I was going to do to let everyone know she's mine, regardless of the possible backlash.

Fuck this. Fuck them. Fuck everyone else.
