The Love of a Wyatt

Lunch with Muscle Mami

I get woken up by knocking on my door and men talking. I get out of bed and open the door to see Jess standing there.

" hey, can I come in for a minute?" she asked

 " yeah" I say stepping aside so Jess can enter. 

" what's up" I as sitting on my bed and Jess does the same.

 " I'm going traveling with Marcel, his taking me to Smackdown" she says with a sweet smile 

" that sounds cool, have fun" I smile. 

" thanks, I will be about a week so just survive until then" she chuckles

 " how will I?" I chuckle. 

" Jess, you ready to go?" we hear Marcel ask from the hallway

 " okay, I will see you later" she says and hugs me

 " yeah, have fun" I smile. 

Jess gets up from my bed and leaves. I walk up to the bedroom door and see Gunther and Giovani standing up the front door 

" hey" I smile at me 

" what's up" Gunther nods. We all say bye and I am left alone. I spend most of the day brain storming ideas on what I can change in my WWE persona. 

It's been a few days, I have made some progress but nothing sticks out. To get my mind away from it all I go to the gym. I walk into the building and it's pretty empty, this gym is where most wrestlers down at NXT use as it's close to the PC. I start my warm up and stretches and then go on the treadmill. Half way through I see the door to the gym open and I see the women's world champion Rhea Ripley walk in, she's wearing yoga shorts and just a sports bra and her black shoulder length her is up in a bun. Although, what surprises me is that she's all by herself and not with her group, she just ignores everyone and puts her airpods in and  she starts to work out. About half way through my work out and I am on the rowing machine next to the weights. I see someone walking up to me from the corner of my eye. 

" Abby, right?" I barely hear over my music. 

" yeah, hey?" I say taking out one of my headphone only to notice it's Rhea standing next to me.

 " sorry to disturb your sesh but do you mind spotting me, I wanna lift some weight but don't really want to ask one of the men" she pulls a face making me chuckle.

 " yeah sure" I smile and stand up. 

We walk to the weight bit and she sets up her weights to 50kg. 

" don't you want to warm up first" I chuckle a little 

" this is my warm up" she smiles at me.

 " oh" I simply say.

 Rhea begins her work out and half way through she changes the weights to 50kg to 75kg and I'm blowen away by how strong she is. I couldn't help but watch as her muscles in her arms tense as she lifts the weight and untenses as she brings to down again. Rhea does her last rep and the sets the bar back down on it's resting place.

 "that was impressive" I tell her 

" thanks" she chuckles 

" what you doing after?" she randomly asked 

" uhm, go home, shower and eat I guess" I say with a shrug 

 " wanna grab a bite to eat with me?. I'm kinda bad at eating and things like that after the gym" she chuckles lightly and her cheeks turn more pink then they were before. 

" babysitting the women's world champion wasn't on my bingo card" I chuckle

 " sooo, is that a yes?" she asked hopefully " sure" I playfully roll my eyes. 

" so where do you wanna go?" I ask as we leave the gym.

 " there's a little café just down the road which is pretty good" she smiles at me. 

" lead the way, champ" I smile sweetly at her and she laughs. We walk and talk and before too long we reach the café. Rhea walks in first 

" Demmiiiii" a older man cheers 

" I was wondering when I am going to see you next" he says hugging her 

" hey Jo, how are you" she asked hugging him back

 " I'm okay dear, take a seat I will be right over" he smiles. We find a seat and we scan the menu as we talk. Jo comes over and takes our orders. 

" do you come here often?" I ask 

" yeah, I live around here so I come here quite a bit" she says sipping her drink.

 " so what's your story, Abby" she asked and there was something in the way she said my name.

 " uhm, there's not much to tell really. I grew up not far from here, I started wrestling when I was younger and that's where I met my best friend Jes.. Tiffany and we both got into the WWE around the same time, we live together, train to together, were pretty much joined at the hip" I tell her 

" Tiffany, as in Stratton. Tiffany Stratton the walking barbie doll?" she questions

 " yeah, that's her" I chuckle 

" I mean, I wouldn't of thought you guys was be best friends" she chuckles

 " how comes?"  I question 

" well your like me, gothic, emo, black everything right?" she asked and I  nod yes " and like I said, she's a walking Barbie, bright colours, long blonde hair, thick with make up, she's the total opposite of you" she chuckles " I'm not saying it's a bad thing and I bet Tiffany is a wonderful person, I just wouldn't of thought you two would  gel" she says. 

Me and Rhea eat and she tells me about her family in Australia, she has a younger sister called Calista. Rhea also has two dogs called Barry and Luna and she was showing me a puppy that she is tempted to get. I have to admit it's been fun hanging with Rhea for a while, she's not as intimating as she is on screen, off screen she's very chilled and relaxed and smiles a lot more. We go and pay and then we leave the café. 

" well, it was nice having lunch with you, Rhea" I smile at her

 " please, call me Demi and yeah it was nice" she smiles. We hug and she goes to walk off but stops and turns " I'll see you around, Abigail" she smirk in her old fashion Rhea Ripley ways and I swear my knees buckled. 

I get home and shower and as I get out of the shower, Jess facetimes me.

" hey" I answer 

" what's up, girl" she chuckles 

" how's Smackdown been?" I ask and Jess tells me all about traveling and where she has been and what she has done and she looks really happy. 

" anyway, enough about me. What have you been up to?" she asked 

" just the usual shit really, just thinking of some character changes, I went to the gym today and had lunch with Rhea" I tell her 

" wait, wait... you had lunch with muscle Mami?!.. I want all the tea" she says way too excitedly 

" yeah, I helped her with the weights and when we finished she asked if I wanted to get lunch with her so we went for lunch" I say like it's nothing      

" wait... she asked you!. this is huge" she says all excitedly 

" it's not like that Jess" I chuckle 

Me and Jess spend some more time just talking and then I go to sleep, for some reason I can't not get the way Rhea called me Abigail out of my head.
