For the purposes of this fic…Edge never retired…Happy days! Sorry for the bad title...I'm terrible at thinking up titles lool
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the storyline and the OC.
Authors Note: Ok so I hope everyone likes this fic because I have loads of ideas for it so I think it could turn out really good…I hope lol. I know it's quite a big age difference between them but they're both over 18 so yeah never mind :) and for anyone reading my other story Retirement doesn't always mean the end well there isn't long to go with that but my dog at my memory stick (No seriously -_-) so I have to re-write the last few chapters. As for my story 'Family' I've deleted that because I wasn't entirely happy with it and I've lost everything I've written I will repost it at some point when I've re-written it and decided that I like it :)
"Scarlett…It's a pleasure to meet you" Vince smiled shaking my hand.
"You to" I smiled, in all seriousness I had only ever heard his name. I was an avid TNA watcher and WWE had never appealed to me but when I was offered a contract by Vince to be a diva it wasn't something to be sneezed at. The problem was I couldn't name any superstar on any roster, I was completely WWE illiterate. I didn't even know who the current champion was.
"If you'd like to take a seat I want to go over a few things with you" He smiled sincerely as he motioned for me to take a seat in the chair on the other side of the desk he stood behind. I did as I was instructed and sat down with an innocent look on my face, or what I hope was an innocent look, and waited, nervously picking at my nails, for Vince to begin. "Ok so I'm offering you a one year contract" He must have seen the disheartened look on my face because he quickly explained himself "Don't worry it's just procedural we do it with every prospective new talent…it's just to make sure you're up to it" He smiled "This is what I'm willing to pay" He stated as he handed me a piece of paper with a six figure sum on it, my mouth fell open at the sight of it and I felt like bursting with excitement "Of course you'll get bonuses for pay per views, photo-shoots, appearances and what not" He added waving his hand dismissively.
"This is great even without the bonuses" I whispered incapable of talking normally.
"Then I think we'll get along famously" Vince smiled standing up and holding his hand out for me to shake, I did as I was supposed to and he guided me to the door. "You'll fly to Denver tomorrow morning someone will stop by your apartment to pick you up and drive you to the airport to make sure you get on the private jet safely and your mentor will meet you at the airport in Denver" He announced as we got to the door "Unfortunately I don't have any idea who your mentor will be as that's all John Laurinaitis's call" He added.
"Thank you" I gulped "Bye" I said as Vince shut the door and I walked down the endless maze of corridors to the door that lead outside into the beaming sun of Stamford Connecticut. "Alright then Scarlett…No biggie you've only got a contract with the WWE" I breathed as I began to slowly walk down the street on wobbly legs.
The buzz of the alarm on my phone woke me from my deep sleep at around 6am I'd packed the night before so all I had to do was get ready and then check I had everything, I had two hours do this before I needed to be downstairs where I was being picked up. So I walked into the bathroom and had a shower, as the water hit me and washed over my body it felt as if it was washing away all the nervousness I had been feeling since I had woken up. I wrapped a towel around my body and padded back into the bedroom to find something to wear on the nearly three and a half hour flight. I eventually decided on a pair of leggings, a white vest top with a long red and black chequered shirt undone with a pair of white plimsoll shoes. I walked over to my almost bare make-up table and put on a minimal amount of make-up and chucked my dark brown hair up into a scruffy ponytail. I walked around the house one last time checking I had everything before going downstairs where I had arranged to meet whoever was picking me up.
"Scarlett Pearce?" A large man asked in a black suit and sunglasses, I nodded sheepishly as he took my bags and loaded them into a car then opened the back door of the car for me to get in.
"Thanks" I uttered as the nervousness that the shower had washed away crept up on me again. The car ride to the airport was thankfully quite I wasn't sure I was up to speaking, I was far too anxious. Once the car came to a stop I got out and the man handed me my cases before guiding me through the airport and onto the private plane without speaking to anyone. Once boarded I sat back in the chair with my I-pod in my ears and my kindle in my hands and pushed my unease I was feeling to the back of my mind. This was the beginning of my new life and I couldn't wait to get in the ring and start fighting.
"You need to walk to the arrivals where someone will be waiting for you with your name written on a piece of paper" The captain explained as he approached.
"Thank you" I nodded sheepishly as I picked up my luggage.
"No worries" He smiled patting my shoulder and walking away. I did as I was told and walked through to arrivals where I scanned the mass of people all doing their thing busily. After a moment I spotted a man leaning against a concrete pillar holding up a piece of paper that read Scarlett Pearce in scruffy handwriting. He had shoulder length wavy dirty blonde hair, piercing green eyes that would make any woman swoon, he looked as if he hadn't shaved in a few days giving him a rugged look that worked on him. His muscles were huge I could see that even under his black and white chequered shirt. With the shirt he wore a pair of blue denim jeans and black trainers. To put it simply he was gorgeous.
"Hi" I said with a false sense of confidence. He bit his lip to hide one of the sexiest smirks I had ever seen as he looked me up and down with piercing green eyes.
"Adam Copeland" He smiled holding out his hand "You probably know me better as Edge" He added with a wink.
"Scarlett Pearce" I replied shaking his hand "And actually no sorry…I watch TNA" I replied awkwardly as I picked at my glittery black nail varnish I had put on the night before to pass away time.
"To each their own I guess" He shrugged taking my case and dragging it to a black Mercedes. I got in the passenger side and looked out the window. "Nervous much?" Adam laughed sitting in the drivers side.
"A little" I smiled shyly.
"Come on no need to be shy" He smiled slapping my arm playfully "And I should probably mention that we have to share a room because John Laurinaitis wants us to maybe be in a storyline together so we need to get to know each other well" He explained as he started to drive.
"Ermm…" I stammered at the news of having to sleep in a room with this totally gorgeous man.
"It's ok" He laughed "I haven't even checked in yet so when we get there we need to check in" He added turning a corner.
"Ok" I whispered picking at my nails.
"Do you always do that when you're nervous?" He asked keeping his eyes on the road.
"Do what?" I asked looking up.
"Pick your nails" He smiled stopping the car.
"I don't know" I shrugged getting out. Adam got out soon after and handed me my luggage. "Thanks" I smiled pulling it into the hotel reception and waiting for Adam to join me so we could check in.
Adam opened the door to the room and we both entered it, it was like nothing I had seen before. The main room consisted of a kitchen area, a TV, sofa and a table with chairs.
"I just got a text from Wade we're going to have a few drinks in the bar with some others…You fancy it?" Adam asked pulling me from my thoughts as he headed to the bedroom where I assumed there would be two separate beds. I was wrong. I followed him into the room about to answer his question when I stopped in my tracks looking at the double bed at the back of the room. "I'll get that sorted" He sighed seeing my face "If that fails I'll sleep on the couch" He offered putting his case against the wall and going to walk out.
"No…I don't want to cause any trouble I'll sleep on the sofa" I suggested turning to walk over to the sofa.
"You're English?" He said tilting his head with a smirk.
"Yeah" I nodded confused "What…" I began.
"Sorry…I've only just realised your accent" He laughed "Anyway the way I see it is we have three options, try and get another room, I sleep on the couch, or we sleep in the same bed" He announced. I sighed and tried to suppress a laugh.
"If I'm being honest…I don 't care" I shrugged "I've slept in the same bed as guys before and it's been perfectly fine" I shrugged hoping he wouldn't take it the wrong way, at first he looked at me in shock for a moment before answering.
"I was thinking that but I didn't want to freak you or anything" He said rummaging through his suitcase looking for something to wear.
"It's only whilst we're here" I shrugged sitting on the bed.
"Are you coming out for drinks or not?" He asked looking at me.
"Ermm…Yeah ok…I could do with a drink and I should probably get to know people" I smiled looking through my bag for something wear. Eventually I decided on a pair of black leggings with a plain long bright yellow/green top and a pair of long leather black boots. I walked out of the bathroom once I had re-done my make-up and my scruffy ponytail, Adam was sitting on the bed waiting for me as I exited the bathroom I grabbed my leather jacket and gave Adam a confused look while he began scratching his stubble and let out a small laugh. "What?" I asked.
"You look nice" He smiled as he stood up and walked out with me smiling shyly and following closely behind.
