A Diva's Dream (WWE Fanfic)

One More Time

After our match the trainer was checking out Eva Maria and Heath Slater for possible concussions.

"Believe me, you're not gonna find anything up there in either one of them" I commented walking past them, side by side with Matthew.

"Come on, Vanessa, you can't be so mean all the time" he struggled to hold in his laughter. It honestly broke my heart that I had to see him go, but I know that whatever he decides to do in the future, I will support him 100%.

As we walked down the corridors I heard someone call out to Matt, and we turned to come face to face with the one person I always try to avoid.

It was Seth Rollins, the one person that made it impossible for me to focus.

"Hey Matt, I'm glad I caught you" he smiled, without acknowledging me. 'I get it I'm shorter than him, but I'm not invisible!'

"Hey Seth, what's up?"

"Look, man, I just wanted to thank you. You're the one that convinced me to come to the WWE and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you" they had one of those man hugs and I just looked away awkwardly. 'Bromance'. Then I heard Matt mumbling something, which I couldn't exactly make out. He knew I had a crush on Seth ever since he introduced me to him after he was signed to the WWE. It was during a training session Matt and I were having, I had been practicing his shooting star press and I got distracted when he came over after his workout. His two toned hair tied back and his flawless muscular physique covered in sweat made me distracted, and I lost all my concentration. I ended up miscalculating and completely crashed and burned. Ever since then I went out if my way to avoid him to prevent any more accidents.

"So you really went Airbourne on Health Slater?" Seth looked my way with a smirk making me blush.

"Umm, yeah..."

"Well it's about time someone put that dork in his place" he and Matt laughed while I just chuckled nervously. 'Way to go Vanessa, making yourself look like a total idiot'.

"Well look, Seth, we're going out to eat, why don't you join us?" He winked at me and I glared at him. 'Matthew Joseph Korklan you are a dead man!'

Before I even had time to object, Seth responded "Yeah sure. I'll meet you guys in the parking lot in an hour" and before I knew it he was gone.

"Are you kidding me Matt?! What the hell are you thinking?!" I barked at him nearly leaving him deaf, but he burst out laughing. 'That's it... he's completely gone mad...'

"I'm thinking you should get over yourself and actually talk to the guy" He shook me slightly as if to snap me back to reality.

"You're insane! I can't make eye contact with the guy!"

"Vanessa, you're the toughest girl I've ever met, you flattened a guy out with no hesitation, and you nearly snapped Eva Marie's head off with your new finisher, but you can't even go up to the guy you like?" I hate to admit it, but Matt was right. I felt weak around Seth, I couldn't speak, I couldn't think, simply because being around him was overwhelming. "Look Vanessa, what's the one thing I've always told you?" he looked at me with seriousness in his eyes.

"Don't hesitate"

"Exactly, so if you like the him, go for it, he's not gonna bite" he smiled reassuringly.

"If this goes south, I won't let you forget" he laughed knowing I wasn't serious as I headed to the Diva's locker room to get showered and changed.

Matt had texted me that we were going to Chili's, which made up for the whole setting-me-up-for-disaster situation. Still I had to trust Matthew and I wasn't going to refuse since it would be one of the last times I would see him in a while.

After blow drying my hair, I slipped on a white Sullen shirt with a black plaid shirt over, a pair of faded gray skinny jeans, and custom Vans to match the angel on my Sullen shirt. 'I mean we're not going out to eat someplace fancy' I thought to myself and I applied some simple eyeliner and mascara.

As I walked out of the locker room Matt was leaning against the wall waiting for me. "You ready?"

We headed towards the parking lot only to realize it was hotter than expected. "Ugh stupid Texas weather!" I guess Matt found it funny how easily I got frustrated as I rolled up the sleeves of my shirt and tied back my hair in a half-assed bun.

"When did you get that?" Matt pointed to the back of my neck.

"Oh the crow tattoo? A couple days ago while I was here in town" I smiled proudly only to hear Seth's voice behind me.

"Looks nice"

"Thanks" I smiled. 'Wait did I just say something without making a total fool of myself?'

"Well come on let's go" Matt unlocked the car to his rental and we headed to my favorite restaurant. It would be nice to spend some time with my my best friend one more time before he goes.
