I place my bag on the bench in the locker room letting out a sigh. Liv looks at me with raised eyebrows. "What's going on?" She asks. I look at her with a frown "he-he told me he loves me" I whisper. Her eyes widen "oh girl you gotta tell him" she rubs my shoulder. I nod fiddling with my fingers.

We've got a mixed tag match tonight so I'll try my best to talk with him after. "I know I do, I just don't want to hurt him" I let out a sigh. She nods and nattie joins the convo "you've gotta make sure he understands because you still have the storyline" she reminds me. I nod and look around the locker room. Sonya looks at me from across the locker room. She nods over at me and I smile gently.

"So what exactly did he say?" Liv asks. I let out a sigh "I was falling asleep for a nap the other day and he whispered saying that he loves me" I respond putting my head in my hands. Nattie gasps "really? Do you feel the same?" She asks. I look at her and shake my head "I'm not IN love with him, and I don't see him in my future" I answer. She pouts "did you before?" She asks. I nod "yeah I did, I met his family too" I pout.

The girls give me advice on what to say to him after our match. "I'm going to go get my hair and makeup done, wanna come?" Liv asks. I nod leaving my bag in the locker room, walking with liv to the hair and makeup area. "I saw sonya nod at you, are you two becoming friends?" She asks. I bite the inside of my lip "I think so" I whisper. She looks at me raising her eyebrows "what's up?" She asks. "She uh she kissed me last week" I reply. Her eyes widen "what? Nooo seriously?" She asks.

I nod biting my nail "yeah, she did and I-I don't know what I should do liv" I answer. "Did you like it?" She asks. I nod slowly "yes" I whisper. She smiles jumping "okay you need to break it off with braun and figure your shit out" she tells me. I nod "I know but who would I travel with? I cant travel with him after" i ask. she rests her hand on my shoulder "I've got a rental and nobody to drive with so you can join me" she says. I smile "thank you" I whisper.

We get to hair and makeup and sit in our chairs. The match is in about 40 minutes and I'm extremely nervous about everything. I fiddle with my hands nervously as my stomach churns. "You'll be okay!" Liv tries cheering me up. I nod gently and scroll through instagram then move to looking at fans tweets, they're either about Sonya looking at me or braun and I's relationship.

Once my hair and makeups done liv and I walk around backstage, before we turn a corner we hear braun talking with someone. I stop her and listen in. "Dude she's been so distant lately, I told her in her sleep that I love her and she's been even more distant" he continues. Livs eyes widen and I put my finger to my mouth listening to the responds.

"Have you tried talking to her about it? Maybe she's scared of getting hurt" whom I'm assuming is bray responds. I bite the inside of my lip nervously, "I wouldn't hurt her though, maybe were moving too quick" he let's out a sigh. Before bray can say anything else liv and I walk around the corner. Braun looks over and I put on a fake smile acting like I didn't hear him. "Hey baby"i whisper getting on my tiptoes hugging him. He wraps his arms around my waist "hey beautiful" he whispers in my ear before kissing the top of my head.

Mandy comes up to us a few minutes later, "our match is starting in 5 let's go" she tells us. We both nod and walk behind her to the gorilla.  Braun grabs my hand kissing the back of it "we've got this" he whispers. I nod and smile "I know" I whisper back. Its us versing mandy and dolph which means sonya will be at ring side unfortunately.

My music starts up and I go out posing with braun. He chuckles and we look at each other before going down to the ring. We decide that the men will start us off so I stand on the ledge watching braun and dolph go at it. Brauns got the upper hand considering how big he is.
