BABY, I

Chapter 9.

I had been running for weeks and coming up with any excuse I could to dodge Nia and get out of this title match and it worked for a little but my time had ran out.

It was me vs Nia Jax tonight for my women's championship and I could not concentrate. Do you not see how big she is compared to me? And I'm someone of much confidence, (rightfully so) but I'm also reasonable. I know that if anyone could take this title away from me.. It's her, I know that for a fact. She has amazing athletic abilities plus her size, I only had 1 out of the 2 of those things. I pulled on my bright pink, green and black attire as I pulled my title over my shoulder. My eyes looked through the mirror at my own reflection as I let the image sink in because after tonight.. I wasn't so sure that I would be holding this title, much less holding anything after what Nia would do to me.

Exhaling, I made my way to gorilla pacing as I waited for the current match to finish. It was Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens and they were killing it out there. The crowd was amped and loud, my heart rate immediately sped up as I felt the energy radiating off the crowd.

I'm a woman of transparency, meaning I am very incapable of hiding my true emotions. I can't fake it for sh*t because my facial expressions always give it away. A look of worry and fear was plastered all over my face as I thought about all the ways this match could go wrong, I grew more concerned as I focused not on what could go wrong but how I would win?

Schoolgirl pin is out, rollup is out, ddt is out, insult-to-injury is in but not as effective, my best bet is the Sparkle Splash and Nia knows me too well. This meant I had to be innovative and creative in the ring, I had to be unpredictable and I had to prove everyone wrong.. Including myself. But I can't come up with a new finisher in just 9 minutes, I had to do what I did best.. Improvise.

Thousands of thoughts ran through my mind as I thought about a way to finish the match, nice and easy, unpredictable and clean. But my strength didn't match up to hers so I was screwed. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I saw an all black-haired Seth approaching me.

Staring at him with an over it expression, I folded my arms and watched as his bigger frame towered over me. "What the hell do you want, Tyler?!"

"Geez, what shitted in your coffee today?" Seth asked with a half-amused look on his face.

Rolling my eyes and scoffing, I marched away from him but he followed close behind. "Wait." He called. Turning around hesitantly, our eyes locked and I could see his beautiful brown eyes pleading with mine.

"So you're facing Nia tonight, huh?" He asked nervously as he scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah.." I trailed off.

"Good luck." He stared at me intently and I could sense tension and awkwardness amongst us, it broke my heart to see how things had changed between us.

Nodding, I bit down on my lip as I leaned back against some crates. "Thanks, I appreciate it.. I need all the luck I can get."

"Come on, you don't need that much.. you're Alexa freakin' Bliss, you got this." He shook me gently by my shoulders as I broke out in a smile.

"After this match I'm gonna be covered in blissters and bruises." We laughed together, but I was serious. Soon silence fell over us and we stood in each others presence a moment longer.

Before I could react, Seth pulled me towards his chest and wrapped his arms around me but I didn't fight him off.

"Awh, look at the happy couple of cheaters." Nia said in her absolutely obnoxious voice as she approached us.

I wasn't one for foul language but this chick was pissing me off. "Fuck off, Nia."

"Oooh. Language, Miss Bliss. Looks like I'm gonna have to fix that dirty little mouth of yours before I take that title." She smirked as she towered over me. I began seething at the thought of ripping her face off.
