"By signing this contract, you two understand the circumstances? At the Royal Rumble, it will be 'The Boss' and the current Raw's Women's Champion, Sasha Banks, versus 'The Dark Angel' Scarlett Knight," Stephanie announced to all of the WWE Universe. Sasha was on one side while I was on the other side of the table, that stood right in the center of the ring. "Are you ladies ready to sign?"

Sasha just stood, stroking her title over her shoulder, while I smirked and brought up my own mic to my lips. "I'm ready to sign, Steph, because I'm an actual lady. Can't say the same for Sasha, though," I spat and earned some boo's from the crowd.

Sasha let out a loud, fake laugh before she brought her own mic to her lips. "You think you're real funny, don't 'cha, Scarlett?"

To that, I nodded and exclaimed: "You wanna know what I find humorous? Is when I beat you at the Royal Rumble, you stuck-up bitch!"

"Hey, hey, hey," came Stephanie's warning tone when she placed her arms out in front of us from attacking each other. "It's time to sign this. Wait until the Rumble to fight. C'mon, Sasha, you first."

With that said, Sasha leaned forward, taking the provided pen in her right hand, and began to sign the document. She signed it, surprisingly enough, without any sort of hesitation. She placed the pen down, just in time for Stephanie to spin the whole contract over to me, where I then signed it perfectly.

"Alright, then that's it!" Stephanie cheered, hopeful that this was the end until the next pay-per-view. "At the Royal Rumble, it will definitely be Sasha Banks versus Scarlett Knight in a falls-count-anywhere, anything goes, match!"

The crowd cheered, having this finally concluded. Sasha, however, didn't seem to see this as the end when she lifted the mic to her lips and hissed out: "Oh, and, by the way... How's Lillie doing? Is she okay, Scar?"

She didn't have to say anything else when I threw myself over the little table in between us, tackling her to the ground. I was on top of her, hitting her wherever and whenever I could. We twirled around quite a bit before somebody was ripping us apart.

Some security was holding Sasha back and some were doing the same for me, but the man that stood between us was who I wanted to attack now. He tried to restore order in the ring, but all I wanted to do was hit him right where it all hurt at. Yet, I couldn't – due to our on-screen storyline where we're lovers and all that nasty ass shit.

Even though I was horribly mad at Seth at the moment, I wasn't going to let Sasha win that easy tonight. So, loosening up the security from holding me, I dove right into Seth's arms. On the outside looking in, it looked like he had saved me from the big bad wolves while I was this damsel-in-distress princess and he was the chosen prince.

Yet, although it sickened me to do it, I had to make this all seemed real. So, pulling Seth's head towards me, I drove his lips right into mine. Though, it was a bit sloppy at first, he soon made up for it only seconds later. He gave so much into this little kiss that I was nearly taken back by it.

Willingly, we removed ourselves from the ring before slipping backstage. There, I threw him off of me. "What the hell, El? What did I do?!"

"Go straight to bloody hell, Lopez!" I growled, pointing my index finger directly in his face. "You know exactly what the hell you did!"

He raised his arms in surrender and his mouth wide in disbelief. "No, I'm swear that I don't," he tried saying, which was starting to cause people to look at us.

"Come here," I demanded, taking his wrist tightly into my hand and began to run to his dressing room. Since he has a private room, I didn't want to have to go into the women's locker room.

Once we were in his own private room, I shoved him inside and locked the door behind us. "It's because of you that Lillie is currently injured," I accused with my finger, once again, directly in his face. "You told Sasha that you kissed me and that's why she did what she did to us!"

His face fell, all while he was still in much disbelief. "Are you fucking kidding me, Ellie?" he breathed out, shaking his head. "I didn't tell her a damn thing. The bitch makes up stories in her head. I don't love her, Ellie."

"Then, why the fuck is she still coming after us for?" I asked, really trying to get down to the bottom of things. "What happened between you two?"

With the question lingering into the air, he found a chair and sat down in that. Then, signaled for me to sit across from him, which I did and awaited for more information. "Okay, I'm going to tell you what happened between me and Sasha, alright? But, don't ask any questions until I'm officially done. Okay?"

I nodded and sighed, immediately regretting my decision. Only reason why is because, deep down, I didn't know if I was officially ready to hear the truth. The whole entire truth, that is. What was there to be said that I didn't know already?

"When Sasha isn't being an obsessive bitch, she's actually pretty cool and laid back," he started off saying, which immediately made me roll my eyes to. "We met years ago back on the NXT scene. I didn't think much of her at first until she somehow got my number from someone else and started to text me a lot. I told her that I didn't like her like that, but I appreciate all the attention I was receiving from her. Well, she didn't like that too much. As a matter of fact, she went to a whole new level of getting my attention."

He sighed, trying to process what he has already said. He, then, continued: "She had hit the limit when she started to send naked photos of herself to me. I was totally confused as to why she wanted to do that when I didn't even really want anything to do with her at the moment. Alas, I finally agreed to see her in person after all that to try to speak some sense into her. After all that, we went back to her place and I slept with her. I don't know why I did, but I did and there's no going back, either. So, then, I finally agreed to date her. We dated on-and-off for over two years before she cheated on me a couple of months back, and I finally ended it. She thinks you're the reason we broke up, because of the storyline, but you're not. We broke up months before the storyline between us started."

And, alas, I had so many questions as to why, first of all, Sasha would cheat on him after being so obsessed with him like she was. So, I asked him and he answered with: "Well, because she seen me flirting with somebody and she nearly had a panic attack about it before she slept with some guy to get back at me." Oh...?

"Well, then, that's it, huh?" I squeaked out in question, finally taking a deep breath afterwards.

Through my dimmed eyes, I seen him nod and all the anger that I have felt for him the past two weeks finally began to fade away. And, alas, I slowly leaned up into his view and, with a gulp, asked: "And how do you feel about me, then?"
