Faded

thirteen

My heart is pounding and my mind is racing, I still haven't processed the fact that I'm the WWE Women's Champion. A few moments ago I got my plates placed on the belt, one says 'Italian Princessa' with the Italian flag behind it and the other says 'Adriana' in red, white, and green glitter. I'm still in my ring gear as I walk over to the television, a group of various divas and superstars jump out from various hiding spots, "Congratulations!" They all yell and I put my hand over my mouth.

"Aw you guys, thanks." I smile as Finn Bálor comes up to me and hugs me tightly, "You deserve it kiddo, you did great out there." He says as I hug him back. "Thanks Finn." I laugh and the pull away from him, "I'm gonna let you go because Eric's going on now." He says and I smile before running over to where Eric and Bill are standing.

"Babe!" I yell and run up to him as he turns around, a smile spreading on his face as I stop directly in front of him. "Did you pray?" I ask and he chuckles as Billy makes the sign of the cross, "Yes Addi." He smiles and pecks me on the lips before wrapping his arm around me.

"Did you know that Eric almost started crying when you won." Billy smirks and Eric's cheeks turn red, "Aw babe, really?" I ask and put my arms around his neck. "Maybe." He huffs and I smile, "Okay maybe a little." He says as I laugh slightly. "I love you." He laughs before pulling away from me as his entrance music plays, "Good luck, I love you." I say as he and Billy grab microphones and head out to the ring.

I smile and cross my arms over my chest before turning around, "Adriana, I'm glad I found you." Stephanie says from beside me. "Hey Stephanie." I say, a confused look on my face as she grabs my arm and leads me towards the end of the hall. "We've changed the storyline, you've gotta go out right before the match ends and watch them win. After JoJo announces their win, you'll go into the ring and grab both of their hands putting them up in the air before making out with Eric. Okay?" She says as I raise an eyebrow.

"Goldust and R-Truth will go out and distract Primo and Epico, Billy will catch Primo with a boot to the face and then they will win via pinfall." She adds as the bell rings and the match starts, there's a television beside us and I turn my head to watch. "You're not going to take out the title by the way, it'll just be you." She says and I look back at her, "Sounds good Stephanie, thanks." I smile as she nods and walks away.

I turn my attention back to the television as Eric tags in Billy, "Come on B." I say and fold my hands together. Billy drops an elbow on Primo before putting a cover on him, Epico climbs into the ring and breaks it up. Eric joins and kicks Epico in the stomach, then goes to throw him out of the ring but Epico reverses it and throws Eric out of the ring, "Damn it babe." I say and put my hands by my mouth.

Billy quickly clotheslines Epico and then my arm is grabbed, "Time to go." A random voice says before I'm pushed out of the curtain and onto the stage, the crowd begins to cheer again as I wave and stand at the top of the ramp. Billy goes to throw Primo out of the ring, but instead he goes out of the ring and R-Truth climbs into the ring with his phone in hand.

Goldust follows on the outside of the ring as Truth attempts to catch something, he carefully climbs out of the ring and Goldust pulls him towards the ramp. Primo yells at them in Spanish as Billy gets back into the ring, Primo turns around and Billy kicks him in the face. He falls to the ground and Billy gets down to put a cover on him, "1,2,3!" The crowd counts with the referee as the bell rings, signaling the end of the match.

Eric climbs back into the ring as JoJo begins to announce their win, "Here are your winners, Enzo Amore and Big Cass." She says into the microphone as I walk down the ramp. Billy and Eric stare at me as I climb into the ring, a bright smile on my face as I grab both of their hands. I throw my arms up, theirs coming up with mine. Eric looks at me with a confused look on his face as we put down our arms and I turn to face him, "Congratulations babe." I whisper and a slight smile appears on his face.

Thank god I had my hair and makeup redone, I put my hands on the back of his neck as he goes along and continues to stand there. The crowd goes silent and I lean into him, our faces inches apart as he slyly winks and continues to lean closer. Our lips meet and it feels like the crowd is on pause, he puts his arms around my waist as we make out in the ring. I put my arms around his shoulders as we continue for another minute before pulling away from each other, I smile as we back up slightly and he rubs the back of his neck.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, Enzo and Adriana. Your new relationship goals." Billy says into his microphone from earlier as I laugh and roll my eyes, the crowd going crazy. "Answer us this Adriana, is it official?" He smiles into the microphone again before holding it out for me, "Maybe, maybe not. You'll find out soon enough." I smirk and the crowd once again roars. Billy winks and nudges Eric before we all climb out of the ring and back up the ramp, I stop at the top and wave to the crowd before we walk backstage.

I turn to Eric and hug him tightly as we both laugh, "I'm gonna take a guess and say that we've got our storyline." He says as I continue to laugh, "You guessed correctly." I say and he pulls back slightly. "God I love you so much." He says and smiles at me, "I love you too." I smile back at him as Billy chuckles.

Cutest couple of the year award goes to Eric Arndt and Adriana Demarco.
