Fighting for The Eradicator

Champion

Cassandra POV
"Yes" Was all that she said as we pulled apart and we stood in the middle of my office.I stood there speechless as i looked at her face, She looked so tired as she had dark circles under her eyes. "Well." She looked at me as her face started to display nervousness. I smiled at her " well let me know your schedule, and we can pick a date out. Ill plan everything so don't worry, I'll make sure that the champ will have a good time." I snickered over to her as I walked away to grab my things to get ready to leave. "Here, put your number in my phone." I handed her my personal phone as she grabbed it smiling while doing so. She types on my phone as a small laugh escapes her lips, and hands me my phone back. "Hey I have to go get changed into something not my ring gear, can i walk you out to your car or take you back to the hotel by any chance?" I take my phone from here as I smile, nodding my head to her. " Go get changed, I'll be waiting here for you okay." I make a hand motion to push her out of the office and towards the locker room. I looked down at my phone to see that she texted herself so she has my number but she also labeled herself " Your Fav Nightmare" I rolled my eyes at the name and decided to work on this weekend's match schedule since it's the Monday after mania Raw. I pulled out my tablet when I heard boot stomping coming to a halt in front of me. " I want a rematch this monday against AJ styles and you better give it to me." I could hear the venom in his voice as I knew who it was. I looked up to see no one other than Edge looking at me with annoyance. " Well, how's the injury, are you even able to wrestle. I'm not placing you out there if A you are injured and B you think by speaking to me with disrespect is going to get you anywhere." I only stared at him , crossing my arms over my chest as I leaned back in my chair. This man has the nerve to waltzs in here and demand a rematch like hes the fucking king. He only scoffed as he paced back and forth in front of my desk. " My shoulder is fine, just twisted it the wrong way, that's all. I ask for the matches and you are supposed to hand them to me, Im a fucking hall of famer, I can do what I want, when i want , and talk to whoever how I want." He stopped back in front of me, waiting for my answer back to him. I rolled my eyes and scoffed, which only made him more angry, as he slammed his hands on my desk causing me to jump at the action. " No Edge, until I see that you are cleared by medical, you aren't getting that match. Im not playing these fucking games with you. When are you going to learn that I'm YOUR boss. Like it or not, I'm in charge of creativity, not you or anyone else. What I say goes, and that's final." I stood my ground with him once again as he looked at me like he was going to jump across the time. "Listen here you little" he couldn't even finish his sentence as Demi interrupted him. "I'm no expert on the situation here, but what I do know is that's not how you speak to a woman , let alone a woman in power Edge. Do you talk to your wife like that.?" she stood tall, as she puffed out her chest to look more intimidating. Her eyes were bright as they stared daggers into the back of the Edge. He turned around to only smile at Demi, throwing her off a bit. "Rhea, kiddo listen. I like you and you are on my good side. So I highly suggest that you stay on that side and not get involved with her, okay." This only caused Demi to laugh as she looked over at Edge with her arms crossed. " You're not my father nor are you my mentor. So if you cause a problem with Cas over there, you cause a problem with me." He rolled his eyes, stomping out of my office to only turn around to look at me as I stood behind my desk. "I wonder how your father feels about you going after his prized wrestler, better yet I wonder how your mother feels about you being with a woman." I looked at him wide eyed as I felt the anger rising to my face, I walked over to the door quickly as Demi grabbed me , keeping distance between us. "Listen here, You don't get to just walk in here thinking that you can ruin my life in my career. Also who i choose to date and be with is my fucking concern, you dont have the fucking right to bring in my parents. Now get the fuck out my office." I spat at him as Demi pulled me away from him by wrapping her hand around my waist. He scoffed as he walked away waving his hand in the air. I turned around breaking free from Demi's grip she had on me, as she followed close behind me. " So what was that all about with him? I've never seen him act like that to anyone." I sighed as I placed everything once again into my bag, as I grabbed them to walk out of the office. " It's a long story with him." She nodded as she grabbed her bag and then reached over to take mine as she walked me out to where all the rentals and personal vehicles were. " Well we have a long ride back to the hotel, care to share ?" I looked at her as she genuinely wanted to listen and get to know me. I found it sweet and endearing as not many people like to do this anymore, the hookup culture is nothing but growing anymore. We walked outside as a cool spring breeze hit the both of us, it felt refreshing and calming. I followed her as she made her way to a gray chevy truck as she threw both of our bags in the back seat and made her way over to my door. Which earned me a smack on the hand because I tried opening my own door. Once we were both in, she made her way towards the hotel, as the GPS said we'd be there in 45 minutes. " So tell me, what's your story with him?" I looked out the window and then over to her as she paid attention to the road and would look at me briefly. " Well, I kinda need to give you my life story then." She only looked at me and smiled as this was something that she's been waiting for. " Well, I started working with the company at a very young age, started from the bottom and I worked my way up. When my father and Grandfather were both speaking of stepping back from this position they needed someone that they could trust to run it. I stepped up and told my dad that i was ready for it and i wanted to responsibility. He was hesitant at first but soon enough he let me follow him around and learn the job itself. I'm the youngest director that the WWE universe has ever seen or had. So when it was finally released that I was taking over, it upset a lot of the wrestlers. My father still plays a vital role in a lot of things as he helps create storylines and who should have the titles and everything, But he lets me have the final say." I paused as I looked over to her, making sure that I'm not overwhelming her with everything that I am saying. She looks at me giving me a reassuring smile and nods at me to continue. " Edge has always given me a hard time since then , but he's made my life absolutely miserable when he found out that I am openly gay. He loves to stare at me in disgust or makes shitty comments like you saw. I challenge him alot and he hates that I don't bend over backwards for him like my father does. I want the new generation of wrestlers to have the chance to hold the title and become the front face of the company. So he's mad that I will choose Damian Priest , or Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and others to have more titles and storylines than him. The crowd loves edge and I'm glad they do but lately he hasn't been performing in a manner where I think he deserves the title." She hummed in response as she was thinking of a question to ask me. " So why did he say the comment about you dad and your mom at the end?" I wiped my hands against my pants as they were getting sweaty, I don't really talk about my relationship with my parents as it is kinda rocky. She must have noticed because she reached over, holding my hands in hers as she rubbing soothing circles with her thumb. " Hey it's okay, You don't have to talk about it if you aren't ready either. There's no pressure or judgment from me, okay?" I now see why my father has always spoken so highly of her to me. She truly is the sweetest and most respectful person I've met. " No , it's not that at all, I mean eventually you'll find out about it so might as well tell you. I came out when I was 20, My father is nothing but expecting of me and the company loves me being openly gay. My mother and I have never really gotten along since I turned 18. She didn't want me to work in the company, she wanted me to go to college, and go be a doctor or something. Then when I came out it drove a wedge between us, as she believes that this isn't what she envisioned for her daughter. She's a great mom and I know that she truly wants what's best for me. It's just hard for her to understand my life and the lifestyle I want to have." She kept my hand in hers as she continued to drive, as I finished talking she let out a sigh of her own. " I'm sorry that you had and still have to deal with all of that. It's not really fair that you are getting the brunt end of the stick when you are just doing your job. As wrestlers, we never understand the corporate side of things and it's frustrating when things never go our way. But now I can understand why and the reasons behind them. Edge has no right to treat you with such disrespect because he's mad that he's not winning. Nor should he be using your sexuality against you." She pulled into the back of the hotel as we didnt want to be swarmed by fans in the front. I smiled as she looked at me, it was like she knew what to say and how to say it in these situations. I felt extremely comfortable around her and talking to her about my life story, I'm usually pretty closed off with people. She just has this vibe that I can't really explain but I enjoyed being around her. She jumps out of the truck as she makes her way over to me and opens my door, giving me her hand for assistance. " What a gentleman you are Demi" She just smirked as she grabbed out bags and started walking to the hotel. Once we entered the hotel, we saw that Becky, Liv , Damian, Charlotte , as well as Bayley and Sonya were all at the hotel bar. " OH CAS COME OVER HERE." I looked over as Charlotte waved her hand to me. I looked over at Demi who seemed to be more focused on someone else. Demi close behind, we walked over to the bar as Charlotte pulled me into the biggest hug of my life. "Oh my sweet love how i missed you, it feels like forever" I embraced her back as we stayed like that for a moment before she let me go. Charlotte was the first wrestler that I met and ever since then we have been best friends since. " Oh Rhea , congratulations on winning tonight, you absolutely killed it out there. Good for you." She looked over at Demi who smiled, saying thank you as well. " What are you two up too, care to have a drink with us" Priest leaned over asking us , I looked at Demi as she smiled. " Sure, I think after this weekend we all deserve one." She placed the bags next to the bar stool next to Priest sitting next to him, as I went and sat next to Charlotte. After a few hours and many drinks, Demi and I kept making subtle glances to each other as we talked to everyone. I'm guessing that Charlotte picked up on it as she pulled my attention back to her. " Okay spill, what's going on between the two of you. She's constantly staring at you and when you both walked in she stood behind you like a bodyguard." I choked on my drink a little as I looked at her, she raised her eyebrow at me waiting for my response. Looks like I'm not getting out of this one. " Let's just say that we are getting close, and that I asked her out on a date. She said yes too, by the way." I looked at her as I went to take a sip of my drink, as she looked at me shocked and her mouth wide open. " You asked her out, The nightmare, Rhea Ripley. As well she said yes, as she is making flirtatious eyes with you across the way." I licked my lips as I nodded to her. " Yeah Demi is actually super down to earth and just so genuine. I truly think that this one is going to work out." I was met with Charlotte spitting her drink out as she looked at me shocked, like a ghost hit her or something. " She lets you call her Demi? No one on the roster calls her that, she only lets people call her Rhea. Man , she must really like you then for you to call her Demi. I'm really happy for you though, You deserve this. So let yourself actually be happy with her and not be so guarded, okay." I was about to speak when I saw Demi standing next to me. " I'm sorry if I interrupted you or anything, I just wanted to say goodnight. I'm going to head upstairs for the night." Charlotte smiled as she looked at me giving me the look of go with her. " Actually i think i'm going to head upstairs as well, i'll walk with you if you want to wait a minute so i can cash out my tab." She smiled as i went to grab my card out of my wallet, Charlotte stopped me. " I got your drinks don't worry, go and ill see you tomorrow. Congrats again Rhea." I gave Charlotte one last hug as I walked out of the bar with Demi, who wrapped her arm around my shoulder. As we made our way to the elevator, she leaned down to my ear. " Are you feeling okay?" I could hear the tiredness in her voice and a hint of worriedness as well. The elevator opened as we both walked inside. "I'm okay, thank you for asking. Are you doing okay, it looks like you have some serious bruises." I pointed to her chest as she had a huge marking. " I'm okay and yeah Auska definitely got me good in a few spots." She laughed softly as she pulled me closer into her, as I rested my head against her shoulder as she laid her head on top of mine. The elevator stopped on our floor as the door opened. "I'm down this way." I pointed to the end of the hallway as she began to walk with me. We reached my door as I grabbed my bags from her and placed them by my door, as I reached into my wallet to grab my key. "Thank you for everything tonight, I really appreciate it. I hope to do this again." I stood in front of her as she looked at me, as I watched her eyes move from mine down to my lips and back up. I reached my hand up, as I wrapped it around her neck , pulling her towards me. I crashed my lips onto hers gently as we moved in sync. Her hands placed themselves on my lower back pulling even closer to her as mine stayed around her neck. She ran her tongue over my bottom lip asking for permission, I let her as I opened my mouth wider. She deepens the kiss as our tongues danced with each other, as we fought for dominance. I let her win as she gently pressed me up to the door of my hotel room , causing me to slightly moan into her mouth. She pulled away, allowing us to catch both of our breaths as she rested her head against mine. " Goodnight beautiful, I'll see you tomorrow." She placed one more kiss on my lips, before she walked away,heading to her room. Leaving me there speechless and smiling like an idiot. Once I'm in my room , I change out of my suit, putting it back in the bag, and putting an oversized T-shirt on. Grabbing my phone, I saw I had a few notification messages, the first one was from instagram. RheaRipley_wwe has started to follow you. Wow, that was quick for her to find my instagram. I looked at WWEs instagram story to see that they announced Demi as the new champion, I shared it with my story. I continued to scroll when I saw a notification that Demi tagged me in her story. It was a picture of her title with me in the background smiling at her. She must have taken that when we were walking back to my office after pictures . " The title isn't the only thing that I won tonight." I shared her story to mine as I placed the monkey covering their eyes underneath. I swiped out of Instagram and went to my messages to text Demi. " So the title wasn't the only thing you won tonight huh?" I saw that she immediately read my message and began to type. "Of course not, I think I won the greatest thing tonight." I laughed at her response, replying back to her, " Oh really and what is that?" I bit my finger nail as she was responding. " I was going to say I got a date with you but I think I'll take the win of having you moan into my mouth as I had you pinned against the door as I kissed you." I blushed at her response as I had to take a few deep breaths before I responded back. " Dont get used to it Ripley. Dream of me tonight 😘"
