MONDAY NIGHT RAW!

˚。⋆⭒ ˚。⋆⭒

Rhea's and I's flight to Cleveland is only about two and half hours, which will give me the perfect opportunity to catch up on some sleep while she listens to music and relaxes, preparing for tonight's show.

If I'm being honest, I always am, of course wrestling is the most amazing part of this, but I think one of the coolest parts of working for WWE is getting to go to the shows even if you are not on them. Thought I'm still gonna look good and shows out, of course.

I take some calming breaths as I lower my seat back and Rhea puts on her headphones... and I'm out, like a light.

"Hey. Hey." I hear a muffled voice, sounding off in the distance. "C. Crimson!" My shoulder's being gripped on as I'm shaken awake and I force my eyes open, jolting up straight.

I feel a sheen of sweat on my back, and forehead, as I find Rhea staring at me, brows twisted in worry.

I swallow. "Hmm? Are we there?" Water. I need water.

"Almost, are you alright?" She asks, stilling looking at me cautiously. God, I hate those looks.

I chuckle lightly. "Yeah, yeah, why?"

She nods. "Okay. You, uh, were starting to thrash in your sleep." She lifts my arm slightly before letting it slip back down. "And you were having a go at your arm." Her eyes point to fingernail markings.

Ohhh.

"Oh, yeah, just one of those falling dreams." I wave it off, lying through my teeth.

She tilts her eyes down, giving me a pointed look. "Crim."

"Rhe." I match her seriousness.

It's not that I'm lying to Rhea, I would never, ever. I'm lying to myself.

"Just looking out for ya." She says, dropping it, for now. Knowing her, it won't be dropped for long.

"I know, you big softy." I nudge her, grinning.

"Yeah, yeah." She wags her black-painted finger nail at me. "Only for you."

I blow her a kiss, my body, and mind, finally easing back up as the flight attendant's voice comes over the intercom... we're almost there!!

I enter the arena with the biggest smile on my face. I'm bouncing on the tip of my toes with anticipation.
