"You were late," he barked at me as soon as we were backstage and out of the limelight. He being Seth Rollins, of course. "I specifically told you not to be late."

"I'm sorry," I hissed with a shrug, innocently. Geez, what's his problem already?

I tried to walk away from him, but he pulled me right back to stand in front of him. I felt like I was getting grilled by the teacher back in school for sassing him or something. "Did I just catch attitude from you?"

He can't be serious right now. He just can't be. I gasped and pointed at myself in question. "You're kidding," I snapped with a rough huff of frustration. "You're the one with the damn attitude!"

"Hey!" he exclaimed, nearly scaring me, with his hand raised. He wouldn't actually hit me, would he? "Don't raise your tone at me, Ellis!"

"It's ELLIE," I growled back with wide eyes. If anything, I wanted to hit him. "It's Ellie Knight and you better start remembering my name for now on."

"Ellie? Seth?" A deep voice spoke and we turned in unison towards it, being Enzo Amore, himself, with Big Cass right behind his small figure. "Is there a problem here? I heard y'all arguing all the way over there. What's going on?"

As if on cue, he and I turned our attention back to each other with strict eyes. I huffed and folded my arms over my chest, not about to answer because I didn't have an answer. I fucking knew that I would regret this shit. Stupid Ellie!

"Sorry about that, Enzo. Ellie and I were just gushing over the match, not arguing," he lied, which surprised me completely. "It won't happen again. Sorry about that."

He nodded, not knowing that what she had just heard was a complete and utter lie; though, both him and Cass didn't seem to believe him. Looking at the both of us for a moment, he said directly to me, "Well, uh, Ellie, if you ever need us, let us know."

"Thanks, y'all," I thanked them with a small smile and they both nodded, then left.

When they were no longer in sight, Seth dropped his fake smile and returned back to his dirty and bitter one instead.

"Back to what I was saying," he picked back up where he had left off previously, "don't raise your tone at me again."

"Or what?" I spat, raising my hands at him. "You're not going to do shit and if you keep this up, I'll just tell Steph that it's over."

Again, I tried to walk away when he, once fucking again, kept me from going anywhere by taking my wrist and spinning me back around to face him. "She won't do that," he testified, easily overly cocky as usual.

"And why's that?" I questioned with my eyebrows raised to match my curiosity. "She said that if I had a problem with you, I could just tell her and it's over."

"Well, she lied," he tried telling me, but I didn't want to believe him. "This storyline isn't over until either she says so or I do."

"Hm," I hummed out, nodding my head unimpressed. That cocky asshole. "You're so full of your own shit that it isn't even funny anymore." A small pause to let that sink in, then: "Now, I'm going to walk away and you better not stop me again. Got it? Good! Bye!"

And as I turned on my heel, I made sure to leave him with the middle finger on my right hand and my own smug smirk. He rolled his eyes and huffed aloud. It was surly enough to take down the Three Pigs' house.

Now that whatever that was is now over, I can finally focus on getting the hell out of here for the night and away from the 'Big Bad Wolf' before he finds me again to argue.

As I headed into the women's locker room, most of everyone was there as I waved as they did to me. I spotted Lillie at the back of the room with our stuff already packed up and ready to go.

"Hey," she greeted me with her usual smile. "So, I watched and, I have to say, I already ship you and Seth together!"

To that, I rolled my eyes in ignorance and wished that tonight hadn't even happened, to be honest. "Yeah, whatever," I muttered, angrily. She gave me a questionable look, assuming that I was pissed at her, so I gave her every little detail that had just occurred.

She seemed annoyed by it, too, and possibly didn't believe me also. Either way, she still concluded: "I still ship y'all all the damn way, to be honest."

Lovely, I thought to myself as I had become annoyed by my very best friend in the world. Nevertheless, I had to shrug that off and be like a duck. What that means is to always let things just slide off my back like water does to a duck. My dad's always said it to me, that's all.

"So, what's the plan tonight?" Lillie asked of me as we started to exit the locker room and into the hallway.

I hadn't thought of it. Before all of the drama happened, I wanted to go out and celebrate my newest high-profile gig, but Seth obviously ruined that. However, I may want to now that I think about it. Lillie wants to play games and so can I.

"I have some friends I'm going to invite to go with us to dinner to celebrate," I smirked, not revealing my secret just yet.

Her smile dropped as it was replaced with confusion. "Who? Seth?"

"What? Fuck no," I stated, but straight away went back to my smile. "Go to the car and I'll meet you there in a minute."

I turned my back on her, but she grabbed my arm – automatically making me think of Seth – and said, "No way! You ain't about to go behind my back and, then, surprise me later when they show up at dinner."

"Fine," I sighed, rolling my eyes with a playful smile. "Let's go, then."

She's going to pissed, I thought to myself as we stalk our way towards the place I think they might be at. I knew that she wanted answered, but she would get them in due time.

When we were in the pool of all the Superstars and Divas – for most part, anyway. When I see the one small figure and the tall one beside him, I grinned and walked up behind them while Lillie stayed back at her post. Haha!

Since Enzo was the closest to my height, I decided to tap on his shoulder than Cass. He spun around with Cass and faced me with a nice smile. "Hey, guys, I just wanted to come thank y'all for earlier with Seth."

They smiled and nodded in union. "No problem, El," Enzo shrugged, nudging Cass in the arm. "We just wanted to make sure you were okay since it did really seem like y'all were arguing."

"We were," I deadpanned, not dare denying it, with a small shrug. "He hates me, I think."

"Don't say that," Cass finally spoke to me in his deep voice. "And even if that were to be true, don't let him bother you. He shouldn't determine your happiness."

"Awe! Thanks, Cass," I teased, touching his hand with a smile. Not to be a flirt, of course, since he's taken by Carmella. "So, you guys have anything y'all are doing tonight?"

Enzo and Cass exchanged a glance between each other and shrugged as their mental conclusion. "Nothing planned," Enzo squeaked out, obviously curious. "Why? What's going on with you?"

"Well, my friend, Lillie, and I" —I paused and turned towards Lillie, who was frozen as a statue far behind me— "wanted to go out and have dinner tonight at O'Charley's. Would you guys like to join us, maybe?"

They started to think about it, so I took that time to wave Lillie over to show her that the coast was cleared. She nodded and ran over.

As soon as she was standing next to me, Enzo opened his mouth and blurted out: "Wait, as a date?"

Lillie's face completely flushed and her cheeks were colored red. I chuckled, shaking my head. She looked right at me and lightly squealed, wanting to run and hide. I wasn't going to let her as I held onto her arm, so she wouldn't go anywhere.

"No, silly, not as a date," I giggled to what Enzo said. Then again... "Well, unless you want one with Lillie. I'll leave you to it!"

"Ellie!" Lillie squealed and that's when she took off, disappearing behind some much bigger guys like Sheamus and Rusev.

I'm giggling and so is Enzo and Cass, too. I shook my head and turned to them, smiling. I love teasing her!

In conclusion, Enzo nodded with a thumbs-up. "We'll go with y'all and meet you there," he agreed and turned around for a split second. Before he did, though, he nodded towards Lillie and winked. "Oh, and your friend, El, she's cute." Then, he and Cass exchanged a chuckle and left.

As soon as I turned around, Lillie was there like a sudden ghost. "How dare you, Ellie?!" I busted out laughing at her reactions. "Fine, be that way! While you were trying to set me up with the Sex-God, himself, I invited some more people to go with us."

Uh... "Like who?" I coughed out, my stomach in knots.

She took a new kind of stance with her hands on her hips and she smirked smugly from ear to ear. "Other than Roman and the Usos... I invited Seth Rollins!"

Fuck! I'm screwed...
