Manzo's Retaliation

Chapter 3

I do not own anyone except my own characters from my own brain!

I would like to think that some days a girl can have a few hours' peace in the form of sleep… wrong. Found that out the hard way a week later on Monday when someone came knocking on my hotel door. 'Open the door. I know you're in there.' It was Nikki and probably company.

'I'm not home.' I called back before burying my head back in my pillow.

'Open the damn door right now or I won't tell you what I heard going around this morning.'

'How do always know things. I personally think you could be a gossip columnist and I've only known you a few weeks.' I said opening the door to her when I finished. It was just her witch I was pleasantly surprised about, easier to kick out to get back to my bed, Cause I'm such a lovely friend I guess.

This woman always made me feel crappy in the way she was standing right in front of me at eleven in the morning looking like she just came out of a photo shoot and here I was in my woolly pyjamas and probably greasy hair.

'That idea can be put on hold until I physically can't wrestle anymore.' She winked at me walking into my room. 'Now I want to know what Gossip you have to tell me.' She sat on my bed and patted the space beside her motioning me to sit beside her. 'From what I hear you've been holding out on my… bitch.'

'Don't even know what you're talking about so I don't know how I could have told you Nikki.' I said sitting down beside her but throw myself back on the bed so I was lying down beside her.

'How come Summer is going around saying your shacking up with Dean Ambrose?' She said slapping my leg. 'You're getting a piece of that and you've only been here a couple of weeks? I'm jealous I have to say.'

I said up a little quicker then intended… I got dizzy and not just from sitting up. 'okay firstly can I record you saying that to play back to John Cena…you know, Your boyfriend and secondly. What the motherfucking hell are you talking about? Shaking up?' I looked over at her smirking face with wide eyes. 'Explain.' I pushed.

'Well Summer is going around saying she say you and Dean being all cosy having dinner the last night.'

'Cosy? Dinner? It was a Diner in the middle of know where and the only reason it was just the two of us is because Roman was asleep in the car. And cosy? Seriously? That girl has such an imagination.' I scoffed.

'Well that's what she's going around telling people. I didn't say anything in your defence cause I didn't know anything about it.' Clearly making a jab Because I didn't tell her about the imaginary cosy dinner.

'She just walked in and made an assumption. Why is she wasting her breath putting me down? I would say something if they were still together but they aren't.'

'That's because they had a nasty breakup.' Nikki moved over to the vanity unit to look at her make up.

I stewed on that for a couple of minutes while she checked herself. 'What happened?' I asked making her turn around and smirk. I wasn't one for gossiping and she knew that but I wanted to know.

'He cheated on her… repeatedly.' She rolled her eyes. 'To be honest I don't know if I believe it, Summer went around saying it and he never denied it but something is fishy about the way it happened. It's not like they had a good relationship anyways because they fought a lot and with his history no one really questioned it when Summer said it.'

'Why don't you believe it?' I ask.

She got up from the chair and walked to sit beside me again with a fond smile on her face. 'Because I have known Dean for years, not close or anything but enough to know he's not the man he was in the Indies. He's grown and I just find it hard to believe. Wish other people had my mind of thinking because he is a good guy and I wouldn't put it past Summer making it up.'

'I don't know him enough to make a deal about this Nikki, all we did was stop for a snack on the road. The only reason I was with him at all is because Ro's a really good friend of mine and I travelled with him.'

'Well get to know him then, he's always with Roman so it's inevitable since they go everywhere together. He's a really good guy.'

'I'm here to do my job and do it well not to 'cosy' up to any co-workers other than Roman cause that man is just cuddly.'

'Childhood lovers?' she asked raising her eyebrows making me laugh.

'No, childhood friends, Family basically. Broke my heart when he found Jesse thought if I'm honest. Him and the Uso's were like my big brothers growing up.'

'That's so cute, couldn't think of better protection.'

'Don't even get my started on their dad's.' I smirked thinking of my precious extended family. I haven't been down in a few months to see them and I made a mental note to call Ro's mom later on.

'So how does a night out sound?' Nikki asked. 'A few of us are hitting the streets after Raw, wanna come?'

As if I would get a chance to reply, she jumped up and made a beeline for my suitcase probably to put together tonight's outfit because there was no way she would let me not go. Perks of being friend with Nikki Bella right?

'Nikki do I really have the option to say ''no'' to you?' I rolled my eyes.

'Not really.' She pulled a dark purple dress out of my suitcase. 'This is killer Hol, that's your outfit sorted and It'll go with them black heels you wore to dinner on Saturday.' She places the dress on the bag. 'Now I gotta go and get to the gym.'

'You have a full face of make up on.' I looked at her like she had two heads. 'I thought you were all dressed for the day.'

'Not, gotta get my sweat on and get ready for Raw, you really think I was going to wear this crappy outfit around today?' We looked down at her skin tight black jeans and Lace maroon top matched with Knee high boots. I would personally think that was dressing up…

'God you make me feel so lazy.' I flopped back on my bed. 'Get out before you give me a headache.' I shooed her away.

'Whatever, but I think that headache is because of a certain blond that has no idea to dance. And by the time Raw is over you will probably have a migraine so good look.' I didn't say anything in answer to her as she walked out of my room.

I didn't even want to think about what was going to happen at Raw. Was Summer going to say something to me? And if she did what was I supposed to say? Last thing I want to do is get in the middle of a lovers spat.

I walked backstage after my match later that night. I was in a dark match against Natalya before Raw filming started. Not what I wanted but I was happy with it.

'Brilliant Match Holly, you put me through my places.' Natalya high fived me and have me a small hug.

'That's the plan Nattie. It was amazing thanks so much, see you later.' I waved at her as I walked off.

I made my way to the locker room to shower and change for tonight. I was actually looking forward it. I wanted to get to know the other divas more. I was still worried about meeting Summer tonight but I decided I was going to put it to the back of my mind.

Half an hour later I was walking into catering with my dress on but I was wearing my flats because I knew my feet would get sore fast. I spotted the Uso's sitting with Naomi and walked over tothem with a big smile.

'USE!' I shouted before coming up behind the two brothers and wrapping my arms around both of their necks. Effectively knocking their heads together.

'Ah, sit the hell down woman. What you think your trying ta do, crazy. Trying to give us a heart attack that's what your trying to do.' I laughed when Jimmy want into his little ramble and sat down beside Naomi giving her a hug.

'You coming out tonight?' I asked Naomi ignoring the two idiots as they kept complaining and rubbing their heads.

'Nah, Goona have a nice night in with boo.' She smiled over at Jimmy.

'More alcohol for me.' I smirked.

'I've heard that before.' Jey said looked at his brother with his eyebrows raised.

'Ya, the morning of the night we had to go pick her ass up of the pavement because she couldn't even walk.'

'THAT WAS ONE TIME!' I defended myself.

'How do you know, you don't even remember.' Jimmy sniggered.

'You didn't remember that?' Naomi looked at me confused.

'I woke up the next day in my brother's bedroom not knowing how I got there and I thought I had only dreamed of these two idiots coming to get me, but apparently they picked me up, never let me live it down since.' I crossed my arms and frowned at the two laughing brothers. Naomi joined in. 'You're supposed to be on my side! Girl power remember!' I glared at Naomi.

'Marriage rules. She is legally obliged to side with me in these situations.' Jimmy Sniggered flashing his wedding ring.

'Okay I'm going.' I said standing up. 'I don't want to be around this circle of negative energy anymore.'

'Be gone.' Jey shooed me away as I walked away from the, Couldn't help the small smile that came to my lips at the idiot's banter.

I decided to start heading back to the divas locker room when I saw that Brie was finishing up her match, id meet them there.

'Wow, trying to impress someone?' A voice said close beside me. I squealed in surprise before looking up to see Dean standing over me with a big smirk on his face.

'Jesus Christ you idiot, I'm too young for a heart attack.' I slapped his chest.

He put his hands up in mock surrender with a shit eating grin on his face at my reaction. 'Sorry Princess, couldn't help it when I saw you coming down the hall. Who you trying to impress tonight? If it's me I'm flattered but I prefer a little less clothing.'

'Ohh, someone's really get ballsy isn't he?' I smirked crossing my arms over my chest. I knew I shouldn't be starting the flirting with him in the hallways at work where anyone could happen upon us even it crazy blonde ex that was already spreading rumours about me. But I just couldn't help playing along with his banter. It was infectious.

'Gotta say I'm a little disappointed.' He kept going on as if he didn't hear me.

'I know I'm so sorry, I left my slutty nurse outfit back at home.' I said sarcastically rolling my eyes. 'I was kicking myself because I couldn't shove my boobs in your face.'

'Ahh so did you just admit you were trying to impress me and me alone?' He crossed his arms and gave me a crooked smile. 'Have to say what you wearing right now is doing a mighty fine job as showing your assets though.' He winked.

My face reddened at his words… ya… I slipped up there. I uncrossed my arms because I knew having them there pushing my boobs towards him was not a good idea, what the hell was going on with me?

I'm not saying I wore this to impress him, thought I have to admit it did cross my mind for some reason would dean like it on me. I know were just friends but friends can admire right.

'Stop twisting my words.' Was the only explanation I could come up with… and it was shit.

'Not going to lie I think you should defiantly pack the nurse outfit for next time.' He winked at me before obviously looking me up and down and spending an extra-long time passing my boobs. 'I'm taking it you're going out tonight?' he asked finally meeting my eyes and I had to stop myself from squirming under his intense gaze. Snap out of it Holly!

'Ya gonna go for a few with a couple of girls. Breaking me in I guess, new girls always get a little bit of shit and I'm still waiting for that to happen.' I laughed nervously.

I don't know if it was my imagination or whatever but something dark passed over Dean face at what I said, but as quickly as it came it was gone and he was once again smirking at me.

'Well have fun Princess, take it from me. Don't take any drink Natalya offers… or Nikki. The girls just want to see EVERYONE'S version of Brie mode.' I burst out laughing because it was NOT a sentence I thought I would ever hear coming out of Dean Ambrose's mouth.

'Laugh all you want but it's true.' He raised his eyebrows and leant down beside me to pick up his Championship and placed it on his shoulder in an almost cocky way. 'Adios Newbie, Till next time vixen.' He winked at me before moving away down the hall making me blush again. Damn him. 'Ohh.' He spoked up and turned to face me again. 'Be careful of any guys touching you tonight okay. I don't think I would be a fan of it. I can get pretty angry when I want to be.' He turned and walked away again.

I was confused at his words. Does that imply he's going to be out tonight too? I wouldn't be surprised. Ro always liked his nights out after wrestling. And what did he mean by other men touching me?

I decided to ignore it for now and made my way to the divas locker room. I made it just when Nikki and Brie were walking up to the door. 'Hey.' I smiled at them. 'Great match Brie.'

'Thanks. Becky got me bad on my shoulder though.' She said softly rubbing the area.

'Not a good enough excuse to get out of brie mode time,' Nikki piped up. 'Not get the hell in there and get dressed.' She pushed her sister and me into the locker room. 'Looking killer Holly, I send compliments to your wardrobe.' She winked at me and I rolled my eyes.

'Oh shit.' Brie said when he walked in. I looked around with my eyes wide. All my clothes were thrown around the room and my case laid open in the middle of the floor.

'What the fucking hell.' I said going towards my suitcase.

'Looks like your initiation has started.' Nikki said with an apologetic look. 'Sorry.'

'What the hell, throwing my clothes around the place? Talk about fucking childish like.' I huffed as I bend down to start packing some up and throwing them in the suitcase. I'll fold them later but they'll probably be really creased by then.

'50 bucks on who did this.' Brie said helping me pick up clothes.

'Ya, blonde, tall and dumb.' Nikki muttered.

I let out a loud breath and thought about all the things I would love to say to the tall blond dumb bitch right now. First spreading rumours about me and now throwing my clothes everywhere. Where were we High school?

'I just don't want to deal with that right now.' I said. 'I just want to get this all cleaned and get out and get totally Brie Mode.'

'I'm in.' Nikki grinned.

'But my shoulder.' Brie started to complain while rubbing her shoulder.

'Your in.' Nikki glared at her making me laugh.
