Priceless Sensation

NXT Athletes Hired Back, Ted & Maryse's Storyline

After a busy morning, we finally had the rest of the day off until having to leave before the show tonight. Since I didn't really have anything planned, Karissa decided to come to my room which was just down the hall and knock. I get up from the bed, after watching some TV and go over to the door opening it to find her there.

"Hey Air."

"Oh hey, what's up?"

"Not much. You?"

"Just trying to find ways to pass the time....not working out too well."

"I know the feeling."

"Well since you're not doing anything, wanna come to lunch?"

"Sure."

"Can't have you stuck in here the rest of the day." She laughs. 

"Right." I laugh too. 

I go around the room, grabbing what I would possibly need before shutting the TV off and heading out into the hallway with Riss.

"So how has your day been?"

"Pretty good...can't complain really."

"That's good."

"Been trying to keep my mind off of tonight...."

"I bet."

"Just think of that tag match we have tonight. We team with Nattie remember?" She adds. 

"True." I smile. 

"We get to beat up Tamina and LayCool...that's a bonus."

"Definitely."

"LayCool....what a joke." Karissa scoffs as we head into the elevator. 

"I know."

"How they became pros for the next season of NXT....I'll never understand."

"Me neither."

"I feel bad for the rookie who has them."

"Who knows, maybe they'll get a terrible rookie."

"I hope so." I laugh and Riss snickers. 

"They'll have their work cut out for them big time."

"Oh yeah."

Then when we get down to the lobby and out to the car, Justin is already in the driver's seat, ready to go. Justin and I greet each other and Riss takes his hand, lacing her fingers with his. He then pulls out of the parking lot and starts heading off in the direction to head to the place where she and him had chosen to have lunch at. We go in and get seated, ordering shortly after. After ordering our drinks, I was busy looking at what I wanted to eat and since we were sitting in a booth, all of a sudden I felt the spot next to me sink in and I look over. I almost regret that I did, because there was Heath and I mentally curse.

"Hey guys!" He says cheerfully.

"Hi Heath." Riss says dryly. 

Justin however greets him differently and they do a little handshake thing.

"Oh I'm great." Justin answers first.

"Not bad." Karissa continues. 

"I'm okay." I continue.

"You?" Justin replies.

"I'm great as well."

"Good man, good."

Riss and I just exchange looks. Then out of nowhere his arm goes behind me and I scooched forward a bit so that he wouldn't end up touching me. Riss just laughs inwardly and shakes her head a bit before sipping at her drink. Justin and Heath are talking a mile a minute while we just sit quietly. I then motion to her for the bathroom just so I can get away from Heath for a minute. She nods and we get up, exiting the other side of the booth.
