 Finally it was the day I have my meeting with Triple H and Stephanie. Needless to say I have a mixture of being overly nervous and excited all at the same time. We were now in Chicago, IL for Smackdown and today is actually starting off great. I got up early and was able to get my work out down in peace. The best part is I haven't had any encounter with neither The Shield or The Wyatts. Everything was gonna go smooth today, or so I thought.

 It was now 4:00 pm and I was ready to head to the arena

 It was now 4:00 pm and I was ready to head to the arena. I finished tying my Chucks and grabbed my black leather jacket and my bag for the show tonight. I got in the elevator setting my bag down I put on my jacket over my white tank top when I heard the elevator ding signaling we had made a stop on the second floor. As the door opened I pulled my phone out and threw my ear buds in so I could avoid awkward conversations and lets face it, over the past week I have had some weird ones. Looking at my phone I didn't care who had gotten on the elevator. All of a sudden my nose was filled with the smell of Men's CK1 Cologne and it was a heavenly smell at that. I feel my arm being nudged. Slowly looking up I was internally praying I wouldn't be met with the gaze of a Wyatt member or Shield member to ruin my good day. Instead I'm met with a Celtic smile.

 "Sorry Sheamus I didn't realize it was you" I smile looking up at the freakishly tall and pale man. Sheamus was really one of the very few male superstars that I could tolerate to be around or have a conversation with.

"It's okay lass, I was asking if you were on your way to the arena as well"? he says looking down at me.

"Yeah, Steph and Triple H asked that I come early to meet with them. Why do you ask"? I smile

"I'm heading the same way, they called asking me to meet with them. At first I thought I was in trouble, but now that I know you were called in i'm relieved" he chuckled.

I push his arm jokingly "hey whats that supposed to mean tough guy"?.

"Nothing, just that your never in trouble so this must be a good meeting" he smiles as the elevator dings as we arrive in the lobby. As we walk out the doors of the hotel lobby and begin to part ways going to our own vehicles he stops and say's "hey Alex, you wanna ride to the arena with me? I mean since were going to the same place and all".

"Aww that's sweet of you Sheamus, but I gotta stop off somewhere first and pick up some deodorant and shampoo. I'll see you there though" I respond.

"Oh that's why the elevator smelled funky" he jokes as I turn walking to my car and I hold my middle finger up flipping him off.

 "Don't make me brogue kick your arse" he laughs as he gets into his vehicle.

 I pop the trunk of my car and throw my bag in and close it. Now I don't know if it was the chill the wind packed or what, but the air.....Something just didn't feel right. I look around with my defensive walls up checking my surroundings for any sign of trouble. Nothing. I shrugged it off and hopped in my car cranking Avenge Sevenfold as loud as I can stand it and pulled out of the parking lot.

 I pulled into a parking spot at the nearby Rite Aid and picked up some necessities before heading to the arena. While I was in the shampoo aisle I was tapped on the shoulder, I turned and looked up and saw it was Sheamus. "Are you stalking me fella"? trying to do my best irish accent making him laugh a little.

"Nope, after you told me you needed deodorant I figured I needed some too" he smiles.

"So that's why the elevator smelled so funny" I laughed repeating his dorky remark he made earlier towards me.

"I saw you and decided to mess with you. See you at the arena" he says walking towards the front of the store with his purchases. He stops and turns around "Oh and if I were stalking you who could blame me, those dimples do it for me". He winks and turns to leave. *Holy fuck nuts Batman, was the celtic warrior just flirting with me?* I think to myself and I noticed in one of the mirrors the store had to catch possible shoplifters that I am blushing. I walk to the front with what I imagine as the nerdiest smile ever on my face.

 I arrive at the arena and head straight to The Authorities office and knock. I await for a moment anxiously bouncing on my toes some what. I look out the corner of my eye and I see Luke Harper approaching me with a glazed over look on his hairy face. *Fuck Fuck Hurry* I silently yell in my mind. When he got closer I shut my eyes tightly preparing myself mentally in case he tries anything. To my surprise he didn't do anything or and his face didn't even change, but as he passed he was whispering "Obey, obey, obey". Even though it was very strange I still let out a deep sigh of relief, I must have been holding my breath without knowing it. Finally the door opens and Steph greets me with a smile and invites me in. Triple H comes from around his desk and shakes my hand. "Come on in Alex" Motioning toward an empty chair. "I trust all of you know each other already" he says sitting on his desk. I look over and The Shield is also in the office with us and I notice that Seth is giving me a look of death and Dean has his dumb smirk on his face looking at me also. I hear Roman's voice talking to someone else in the room. I look in the direction of his voice and I notice Sheamus smiling. 

 I take the empty chair next to Sheamus. My stomach was full of butterflies after what had transpired between the two of us earlier at the store and I know I have to be blushing right now. Sheamus leans over as I sit and says "What smells so funky"? and we begin to laugh a little. Everyone is looking at us confused... "Ummmm" Steph says. "It's an inside joke" Sheamus informs them. Steph smiles shaking her head and with a giggle says "I think that's the first time I have ever heard you laugh Alex". Now Dean is giving Sheamus the same look Seth is giving me right now.

 "I suppose your wondering why we asked all of you to meet with us before smackdown" Steph says. I sit up because I have been dying to know what is going on the entire week. "Each of you have been chosen based on your ring and mic performance to go down to the performance center and stay for a week to work with uprising talent and to help us decided who is ready to make the move onto the WWE's main roster" she continues. "Now that also means while you are there you won't be working a show for the week" Triple H adds.

 Roman raises his hand and says "So will we still be getting paid". Everyone giggles and Triple H responds with "Well technically you will be working down there so yes you will get paid you dumbass".

" Anyhow" Steph says trying to get us to focus again. "Alex, we do have a woman who is about to move up in the roster so if it isn't too much trouble can you handle being her mentor and also helping out with the other talent as well"? she asks. I smile wide and nodding my head I ask "That's not a problem at all...Can you tell me who it is"?. "Well I think this could be sort of a surprise for you when you find out". *Damn I hate surprises* I say in my head. "Are all of you interested in doing this"? Steph asks us. We all nod our heads yes. "Good, then the week will start Monday" Triple H says dismissing us.

 We all exit into the hallway. I turn and look up at Sheamus grinning "This is gonna be awsome" I exclaim. "Tell me about it lass, too bad you don't know who the new girl will be" he says. "Well hopefully she doesn't smell funky" I laugh at our inside joke.

 Sheamus and I part ways to get ourselves ready for the show and The Shield go around me to get by.  When Dean walked by he threw his shoulder into me pretty hard. I grab my shoulder and say "Watch it asshole". He keeps walking looking back and loudly say's "Fuck off". I rub my shoulder and wince a little from the soreness. *I cannot wait until he gets what's coming to him one day... BELIEVE THAT* I say in my head watching all three of them walking away. I growl and head into the women's locker room area and change into my ring gear before heading over to hair and makeup for my match with Brie Bella. I can assure you I will be taking all of my frustration out on her tonight and her sister tries to get involved. At least I can get a break from all this shit while I'm away next week. At least I hope I can get a break.
