Couple of Hours Later

Jaelyn

We made it back to my house. Marcel rode with me because he got an uber. Bridgette went with her dad and Gracie.

The twins are taking their little naps. Marcel and I are laying down in my room. "Thank you for coming to Universal Studios to meet my kids," I said.

"You're welcome. Thank you for inviting me. I had fun with you, the kids, Bryson and Gracie," he said.

"I'm glad you had fun," I said. "At least we got to ride some rides together. Especially the Jurassic Park ride with the kids. Did you have fun?" he asked.

"I had fun," I said, yawning. "That's good. Maybe on one of our off days, we can go back, just us," he said.

"Well, I'm gonna close my eyes. I'm worn out and tired," I said. Marcel nodded. "Okay, schön. I'll be here with you," he said.

"Do you have to be home or anything?" I asked. "No. I would rather be here with you," he said, stroking my hair.

I nodded. "Good, I really love having you here," I said, smiling. "Go to sleep, schön," he whispered.

I nodded, laying my head on his chest and closing my eyes. Marcel kissed my head, holding me close.

Few Days Later

I'm at the Performance Center for NXT. Fergal's getting his rematch for the NXT Championship against Karrion Kross.

I got called to William Regal's office to talk about NXT's episode of NXT tonight. Apparently, the producers want to speak about what role I am playing for his re-match.

I knocked on the door. "Come in," someone said. I opened the door. I see Coach Bloom, Sara Amato and the talent relations.

"Hello," I said. "Jaelyn, come in," Sara said. I nodded, shutting the door. I went into the conference room, sitting in the chair.

"So what's going on for the NXT Championship rematch?" I asked. "The role you will be playing in the NXT Championship match...," Coach Bloom continued.

---

I leave the conference room. I sighed softly, smiling. "I wasn't expecting this," I said. I headed to the women's locker room.

I see Cassidy there. "Hey, twin," I said. "Hey. How did the meeting go?" Cassidy asked. "Well, the producers wanted to talk to me about my role during the NXT Championship rematch tonight," I said.

"Tell me," Cassidy said. I smiled, whispering to Cassidy what I'll be doing at that time. "Oh shit. Finn Balor won't expect it," she said.

"I know. I'm kind of nervous," I said. Cassidy nodded. "You'll do great," she said. "I better tell Bryson a code word so Bridgette and the twins don't see it," I said.

I grabbed my phone, texting Bryson. 'Tonight's NXT is gonna be Sour Gummy Worms'. I sent the text to Bryson.

Cassidy nodded. "So how was Universal Studios with Marcel?" she asked. "It was fun. The twins got to meet Marcel for the first time," I said.

"Oh, how did that go?" she asked. "It went well. Irelynd waved at him. FJ was being the shy twin as usual. They end up warming to him. Bridgette was happy that I am happy," I said.

"Did Bridgette ask him questions?" she asked. "We were having too much fun and the kids were worn out and we were as well," I said.

"Was it just you two and the kids?" she asked. "No, Bryson and Gracie were with us. They invited me to come with them," I said.

Cassidy nodded. "What did he think of your kids?" she asked. "He likes them since I like him. It's someone that they're gonna have to get used to," I said.

"I thought Fergal didn't want the twins to meet Marcel?" Cassidy asked. "Well, the twins told me that Sierra's met them already," I said.

"Oh shit. Did you talk to Fergal about it?" Cassidy asked. "He told me and I'm not happy about it. So if he can bring Sierra around twins, I can bring Marcel around the twins. That's only fair," I said.

"That's only fair," she said. I nodded. "Yes it is," I said. "Does he get three and a half days with the twins?" she asked.

"Well, I am not sure what brand he's going to be on the main roster. Once we find out, then we'll see what the judge has to say," I said.

"That's good," she said. I nodded. "At least we got it arranged," I said. "So when are you and Marcel going out again?" she asked.

"Maybe later tonight. I know Fergal's gonna want the twins after NXT," I said. "What if he finds out about you and Marcel going on dates?" she asked.

"To be honest, I really don't care what Fergal thinks. He can do whatever he wants and I'm gonna do whatever I want," she said.

Cassidy nodded. "Well, I'm gonna find Marcel and tell him about my role in the NXT Championship match," I said.

"Okay. I'll see you in a bit," she said. I got up, leaving the locker room. I grabbed my phone, texting Marcel.

'Hey, can you meet me outside?' I sent a text to Marcel. I got to Bryson's messages, seeing his reply; 'Okay, thank you for telling me'.

My phone vibrated, seeing a new message from Marcel. 'Yeah, I can meet you outside. See you in a second. Everything okay?'.

I replied; 'Yes, just meet me outside'. I locked my phone, heading outside. I sat down in the parking lot.

I see Marcel coming outside. I look up, waving. Marcel nodded, walking to me. He sat down next to me.

"Hey, beautiful," he said, hugging me. "Hey," I said, holding him. "How are you? I missed you," Marcel said.

"I missed you too," I said, smiling. "So why did you want me to meet you outside?" he asked. I start telling Marcel what is going on for the match.

"Ohh?" Marcel asked. "Yeah," I said. "I wonder who pitched that distraction part?" Marcel said, looking at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused. He looks at me, smiling. I looked at him. "Wait, you didn't?" I asked.

Marcel looked at me with his signature smirk he does. "You pitched this?" I asked.

"Yes. I pitched it. Plus, there's times we've been a part of a storyline where we meet each other, you watch my matches, I watched yours and every time we cross paths, something gonna happen and now it can," he said, smiling.

The wind blew my hair in my face. "Shit, this wind," I said, stroking my hair. "Oh, your fake lash is caught," he said, getting it out.

"Thank you," I said, smiling. "You're welcome," he said, poking my nose. I chuckled softly. "Does it hurt your nose when I poke it?" he asked.

"No, it's all healed but I wear the mask while I train, workout or have a match," I said. "Good idea. I hope you use it on Candice LeRae for breaking your nose back in September last year," he said.

"Ohh, I will. That'll be my receipt for breaking my nose on purpose," I said. "You are one tough chick," he said.

"Correction, one tough bad bitch," I said, smiling. "Even better. Let's go do some training," he said.

Karrion Kross w/ Scarlett vs Finn Balor w/ Jae Bella
NXT Championship

I am at ringside for the match. I see Scarlett getting on the ring apron to distract the ref. Kross attacks Fergal from behind.

I quickly ran over to where she's standing, grabbing Scarlett by her leg. I pulled her off the ring apron, going face first into the side of the ring.

(Vic: Jae Bella pulling Scarlett off the ring apron, now brawling it out.)
(Beth: Jae Bella showing Scarlett no fear.)
(Wade: Fearless like her sister Nikki Bella.)

She covers her face as I pounce on her, throwing rights at her. I got up, throwing her into the announce table.

Scarlett groaned. I hear the crowd cheering for me. I went back to fighting her. Scarlett slaps me, scratching my face with her claws.

The crowd oohed. I grabbed my face, quickly turning to her. I showed the rage in my eyes with blood on my face. She starts running away.

I ran after her, chasing her away from the ring. (Vic: Scarlet running away.) The crowd cheered as Scarlett and I ran.

I kept chasing after her towards the doors. We stopped running, breathing. "Great job on the brawl, ladies," the producer said.

"Thank you," Elizabeth and I said. "That's good," the producer said. Elizabeth and I hugged each other.

"That was a good brawl, Jaelyn. I hope I didn't cut you with my nails," Elizabeth said. "I'll live. Just little scars but it's worth it," I said.

"That it was. By the way, you have a friend behind you," she said. I looked behind me, seeing Marcel.

I smiled softly. "He's a real cutie," she said, smiling. "That he is," I said. "Well, I'll leave you two alone," she said.

"Thank you. Bye, Elizabeth," I said. "Good luck on the distraction," she said. I nodded, going to Marcel.

"What did you think of the catfight?" I asked. He smiled softly. "I loved that catfight," Marcel said, smirking.

"Oh I bet you did," I said, smiling. "I did. Is your face okay?" he asked. "Just a little scratch but I'll live," I said.

"Should we practice on what we're gonna do?" he asked. "We don't need to practice as long as it's still PG," I said. Marcel nodded.

*near end of the match*

The Balor and Kross match is still going on. Finn's got Kross in the sleeper, ground on the mat. I am seeing it on the monitor.

I see the Finn turned it into an arm arm, trying to get Kross to tap out. Marcel and I are waiting. "Oh, play Imperium's theme," the producer said.

Imperium's theme plays. Finn gets distracted. "Marcel, go," the producer said. Marcel walks onto the stage, puts his arms behind his back.

(Vic: Wait a minute. It's Marcel Barthel.)
(Beth: What's he doing out here?)
(Wade: Maybe he wants to see the match up close.)

Finn looks at Marcel. "Come on, coward!" Finn mouthed. I stood by the stairs. Marcel smirks, moves his arm, pointing towards me.

He motions me over. I nodded, walking up the stairs. (Vic: What is he motioning for..) I walked onto the stage.

(Vic: Uhoh, its Jae Bella)
(Beth: Jae Bella's back)
(Wade: Why's Jae Bella with Barthel? I thought they're just friends.)

Finn looks on. Marcel grabs my hand, making me face him. I looked at Marcel. "Don't touch her," Finn mouthed.

Marcel strokes my hair, and we kiss each other deeply. We're keeping it PG. The crowd goes insane of mixtures of cheers and boos.

(Commentators: Oh... my... god!)

"What the?" Finn mouthed as he saw us kissing each other. Marcel lifts me off my feet, holding me as I slip my tongue in his mouth.

(Wade: Looks like Jae Bella has moved on from Finn Balor.)
(Beth: She has been through hell with her marriage to Finn Balor but she has indeed moved on.)

Marcel puts me down as we break the kiss. Karrion Kross does a forearm strike to the back of Finn's neck, then beating him down.

Kross puts Finn in the Kross Jacket. Finn's slowly fading. The ref grabs his arm as Finn passes out, his arm doesn't move.

"Ring the bell!" the ref said. Kross lets Finn go. "Here's your winner and still NXT Champion, Karrion Kross," Alicia said.

Marcel and I walked away, going to the gym on the PC. I sighed in relief as we did that. "That was an adrenaline rush. At least we didn't kiss each other in the sacred ring," he said, smiling.

"That's true or Walter will get mad," I said. He nodded. "At least, I won't manage you guys or be a part of Imperium," I said.

"That's true. It would be nice if you did but it's not a good idea," he said. "Well, you guys kicked Alexander Wolfe out. I think you guys are better with just you, Fabian and Walter. Plus, you guys didn't need him when you fought the Undisputed Era and before he joined you guys out of nowhere," I said.

"I agree," he said. "Jae Bella, Marcel Barthel! Where the hell are you two?" Marcel and I hear Fergal calling for us.

"Oh, shit, that's Fergal," I said. Marcel and I quickly got outside so Fergal got to us. We left the Performance Center parking lot, continued to run off the grounds.
