Chapter 27

Kitty's P.O.V, the next day

"All my life I've been good but now, I'm thinking what the hell..."

My ringtone wakes me from one of the deepest sleeps I've had in months. I'm still in my clothes from last night, minus the shoes. I don't even remember what happened last night.

And of course, it's work calling. It's still early though, right?

1 new voicemail

Mmm, no. Shower first.

I get a good look at myself in the mirror. I look like shit. Hair is a mess, makeup all run down my face. I remember walking up to the bar, getting a drink...Fergal was there too, right? Or was that just a dream? No. He lives right around the corner. He was probably there.

Why don't I remember though? I just ordered one drink. And had a little bit of wine an hour or two before. I couldn't have been that drunk.

---x---

"Good news! We're pulling you up to the main roster. There's a few exceptions that we need to go over when you come in this morning, but I'd rather do that in person. Congratulations!"

MY TIME HAS COME. That's enough to get my hungover ass in and out of the shower, gym clothes on, and in my car in ten minutes. I didn't even see Ace on my way out. Probably for the best.

Everything is finally, finally looking up. Perfect timing, too. I really needed a boost, because nothing was going right.

---x---

I sit down with Mark Carrano. He's super excited, which makes me think that good things are going to be discussed.

"You're going to be put into a trio, with two other women that haven't been pulled yet. It will be like The Shield, but with three fiery women."

Cool. Sounds good. Love it. Loving this concept.

"There will also be a story line involved."

Okay, cute. I can do story lines. I think.

"Which include Seth Rollins."

...

"You're kidding, right?" I ask, genuinely curious. Crickets can practically be heard. The man is not kidding. at all.

"I think it's best for busin-"

"I think, in best interest, that is a mistake." I get up, ready to leave, "You guys were ready to fire me, even suspended me, for something that HE caused. Now you want me involved in a story line with him? No. That's BAD for business."

I start out the door, hearing him say something. "We already spoke with him about it, and he's interested. The fans will absolutely love it."

Why? Why, why, why?

I reenter the room and sit down, willing to listen. I really just want to know why in Colby's right mind would he want to go through with this?

"You can refuse the offer. I'm not telling you that you can't. But this is also in your best interest. We don't have much planned for your character, and otherwise, a main roster debut isn't really in your future any time soon at this rate."

Then I guess I'm not really getting an actual choice, huh? He's basically telling me that my career will go nowhere if I don't take this opportunity. To be in a story line. WITH MY EX. Which, mind you, Mark hasn't told me what kind of story. But I have a pretty good idea. How can I turn down debuting on Raw? After only a few months? I can't.

"I'll do it." Mark gets up, reaching out to shake my hand. "On one condition."

"Anything."

"Someone has to tell him to keep the personal stuff out of it. I'm talking Twitter, Facebook, behind the scenes. Everything. If my personal life gets brought into it, I'm out."

"I'll give him a call later today and let you know." He hands me a pen and tells me where to sign on my new contract.

No going back now.

"Congratulations, Kitty Paine. You're now officially a part of the Raw Women's Division."

Ya damn right I am.
