Chapter 6: Da's News and Bike Ride Home
Racheal p.o.v:
Once I was done with the shower and got dressed in a black tank that said 'The Judgment Day's Little Pup' in purple on the back and The Judgment Day symbol on the front right corner with a pair of black shorts. I put in my regular teeth and then put my fangs, which I took out before my shower, up along with my contacts. I brushed my hair before I opened the door and saw that Kim was just about done with getting Ben's makeup off, and I saw that Brutus was still in his spot watching her.
I gave him a pat on the head as I smiled.
"The shower is available now," I told them.
"Alright, we good?" He asked Kim.
"Yeah, you're good," she nods.
"Cool, thanks a lot," he smiles as he stands up.
"No problem," Kim smiled back.
Ben grabs his clean clothes for the night and begins walking to the shower.
"Just ease up on the flirting this time, Casanova," he mutters to me as he walks by, earning a well-deserved slap on the arm.
I rolled my eyes as I started getting my stuff together as Brutus stayed near me.
"Do you need any help with packing?" I hear Kim ask.
"Nah, I got it," I replied.
I also checked my phone and saw that Mami and the others messaged me in our little group chat. I miss them a lot. I did a sad smile as I read through the messages. All of them were about how much they loved the match and couldn't wait to see the next match. I wanted to video call them, especially since I am wearing a shirt they made me.
"I hope you don't mind if I make a video call real quick?" I asked. "You can still be here. I wouldn't mind introducing you to them."
"Um...." She shyly but cutely started to say.
"Don't worry, they might threaten you, but they mean well," I said with a soft smile, "They are just protective of me is all."
"Sure," she said nervously.
I smiled as I called them, and they picked up right away.
"Hey guys," I said excitedly, "I miss you all."
"We miss you too, our Little Pup," Mami said with a smile.
"We saw your match, and it was amazing as always," Luis said in awe
"It was badass," smiled Fergal with his thick accent.
Dom didn't say anything he just nodded with a big smile.
"Thank you, guys," I smiled as my chest filled with pride.
"So how are you enjoying it over there so far, Little Pup?" Asked Luis.
"Great," I happily said, "met some new people, like this adorable make-up artist."
I pan the camera over to her and she shyly waves.
"Her name is Kim," I said. "She did Bubba's make-up."
They all wave and say hi to her as well before I start introducing each of them.
"Kim, this is the Judgment Day of WWE. Fergal Devitt, aka Finn Balor; Luis Martinez, aka Damian Priest; Dominik Gutierrez or Mysterio; and Demi Bennett, aka Rhea Ripley. You know Buddy Matthews, right?" I ask and Kim nods. "This is his girlfriend."
"Right," she nods with a smile. "It's great to meet you all."
"And you're our little pup," said Mami.
Kim looked confused.
"I am close to them as you can tell," I said, "and was supposed to be part of their group, if the owner of WWE wasn't a total asshat, but they still consider me part of their group in an unofficial way."
"Aww, that's so sweet of you guys," she smiled at them as they seemed proud. "Honestly, y'all do look like a natural fit."
"Thank you!" Dominik called. "Glad someone else noticed."
Me and the group laughed.
"Bubba thinks so too, Dom-Dom," I giggled.
"Bubba thinks what so too?" He asked as he exited the shower, speaking of the devil, dressed in jeans, tennis, and a long-sleeved shirt with his glasses now on.
"Was just telling Kim about me and our Judgment Day pals," I explained to him.
"Ah, well, one look at that shirt and it's pretty obvious," he laughed before turning to Kim. "That's a one-of-a-kind shirt that they made specifically for her, too," he informed before walking into the camera frame. "Sup, guys!"
"Hey Ben," they said as Kim looked at him with a confused look on her cute face.
"I haven't shown her the back yet, Bubba," I giggled.
I then turned and showed her the back.
"So you're wearing the shirt we made you?" Demi excitedly asked.
I nodded with the biggest smile.
"You bet! How could I not?" They all grinned in return.
"Glad to know you're still thinking about us," said Luis.
"Of course, that'll never change," I promised.
"We miss you guys," Bubba added.
"We miss you too, lad, and great work for you also," Finn complimented his old protégé, earning a flattered smile.
"Thanks, Finn. How's business on y'all end?" He asked.
Demi smirked before she gave a clever response.
"Still treating us much better than it did either of you."
Both of us gasp with exaggeration while I place a hand over my chest.
"Mami, how could you?!" I playfully retort while Bubba starts acting in pain.
"Oh God... that was too... oh my God!" He collapses to the floor while the Judgement Day starts laughing.
"Seriously though, it was great seeing you both back in a ring, we hope it continues, and do let us know if they're not treating you well either," Mami noted with sincerity. "That goes for you too, Kim. Treat 'em right."
Her tone was filled with warning, but Kim just smiled back.
"I will promise," she nodded.
"You guys get some much-needed rest," Luis said. "You deserve it."
"I agree," Mami said as the other nodded. "Alright, Little Pup, we will talk later alright?"
"Alright, Mami," I nodded with a smile. "I have lots to tell you later."
"I know you do," she smirks. "We love you, pup."
"I love you guys, too," I blew them a kiss, and Mami gave me one in return.
"Bye, guys," Bubba says.
They waved him bye too as we ended the call.
"I do miss those guys," Ben noted.
"Same here," I nodded before turning back to Kim. "We go way back with them; and sorry if they made you uncomfortable, they're just highly protective of us, especially me. They're a fun bunch, I promise."
"I understand," Kim nodded. "It's cool to have people like that, and they did look awesome, too."
"That they are," Ben nodded.
It was then we heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Me and Bubba both called at the same time, looking at each other and laughing in response.
The door opens and our parents are there with Gus once again. The security guard who had guarded our room earlier was with them, likely having escorted them here.
"Oh, hey!" I greeted them, not expecting them to come to our room but glad they did.
"Hello again," Bubba added with a smile.
"Thanks, Steve," Mum said to the guard.
It occurred to me we never got his name until now. He seems like a sweet guy and good at his job.
He nods to them before they enter the room. Gus and Brutus greet each other like they usually do before he gets greeted by us again.
"Hi, Gus Gus," I said first.
"Hey, floofy butt," Bubba cutely added as he loves Gus.
"Mum, Da, this is Kim, our makeup artist," I introduced and she shook hands with them.
"It's an honor to meet you both," she politely said.
"Thank you," Da nodded. "It's nice to meet you too."
"Aww, what a beautiful boy," Kim says to Gus as he introduces himself as well, much more friendly towards her than Brutus was.
Mum and Kim chat about Gus for a moment before she gives an opinion much like mine.
"I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you are adorable."
Kim giggled with a blush as we both laughed.
"I told her the same thing earlier," I noted and she laughed too.
"Anyway, I'll leave y'all to it and I guess I'll be seeing you two next week!"
"You bet," I smiled and Ben gave her a salute.
Kim grabs her bag and leaves, waving at everyone, especially Gus, as she makes her exit.
"She seems sweet, and very cute too," Mum adds.
"She is," I nodded.
"I thought she was cute too," Da stated, earning a scowl from Mum and a laugh from me and Ben.
"But anyway," Bubba suddenly calls, "we're cleaned, we're dressed, so what is the big news you had for us?" He asks Da and we both stand there, eagerly awaiting his announcement.
"Well, you guys might want to sit down for this before I tell y'all," he said with a smile.
We both hurriedly sat down on the couch, as we both wanted to hear the news. Mum and Da just giggled at our eagerness.
"Alright, before we saw you two, Tony came up to me and we talked. A few days ago, he called me and asked something of me and gave me time to think and talk to your mom about it, and today I gave him an answer," he said.
"What was it?" I asked wanting to know. "What did he ask about?"
"Well, he needs a little help managing some of the shows and gave me a choice of which one, since he knows about Iron Horse Wrestling Gym, he can help promote that and also let me focus on that when I need to," Da started to explain. "So, I help get some stuff off his shoulders a little bit. He mainly is still working on it, just with my help."
"So what was your answer?" Ask Ben.
"I agreed to the terms," he answers with a smile.
"You mean your part of the company now?" I asked with a smile
He nods with a smile.
"Oh my God!" I clasped it over my mouth with excitement.
"That's awesome!" Ben followed. "You're back in the game!"
"Back in? I was never out of it," Da replied with a smirk.
"Oh, excuse me," Ben held up his hands in surrender and we laughed. "Seriously though, it's gonna be great having you here, and getting to work with you no-less."
"Wait, so which show did you choose to run?" I curiously asked.
"Rampage, Friday nights!" He smirked.
"Of course," Ben smirked as well.
"You could never resist a good Friday night outing, especially with wrestling."
"True, but I'm also gonna be turning it into a two-hour show as well."
"Oh, awesome!" I exclaimed as me and Bubba grinned.
"Damn, it's gonna be great having you here!" Ben excitedly stated. "You'll fit great with Rampage."
"I agree," I nodded. "What about you, Mum? You okay with this?"
"Yeah, absolutely," she nods. "I know how big this is for him and I've missed seeing him on TV too. Plus, I'll keep helping to manage the gym whenever he's gone."
"Well, that's great, amazing even," Bubba smiled.
"Any chance you can squeeze us in for Friday?" I asked. "'Cause you know you can't manage your first show back without us being involved somehow."
Me and Bubba both giggled as Da grew a laughing grin.
"Been thinking about it. I'm sure I can find something for you two," he promised and I clapped before Ben and I shared a high five. "So, now that we've established all of our returns to the biz, you both ready to roll?"
"Sure," I nodded.
"Let's do it," Ben followed.
We gathered our belongings and followed our parents out of the locker room. Before leaving, however, I made sure to put on a jacket in case the shirt would cause any problems. It shouldn't, but I'll play it safe for now.
"Where are y'all's bikes at?" Da asked
"Hidden," Bubba said, "We didn't want anyone to see them."
"Yeah," I said. "Tony has a security guy near them to make sure no one steals or messes with them."
"Hmm, surprised neither of you have shown 'em off to anyone," Da noted.
"Well, we've been getting to that point," Ben joked and I giggled.
We head to our bikes with our parents as many of our colleagues and friends congratulate us on our debut and wish us a good night. When we get to our bikes, we thank the guards who were assigned to watch them for us before they part ways. Ben gets to talking with Mum and Da and I know how he likes to chat with them, so I go over to my bike, put on my helmet, and just start vibing to some music through the built-in headset. I continue enjoying the music for a short while until I receive a phone call. I look at the caller's I.D. and see it's Chris calling. I smiled before answering the call.
"Hey, if it isn't, The Ocho," I smiled. "What do I owe this wonderful call?"
I hear him laughing a bit and I imagine him shaking his head.
"Well, to be honest with you, I was wondering where you were," he said, sounding a bit nervous. I also heard a noise in the background, sounding like someone clearing their throat. "And maybe see if there is...um... well...."
He trails off. I just giggle at his antics.
'God he is adorable,' I thought to myself.
"Am I hearing this correctly? Is the oh-so-great and mighty Lionheart nervous?" I teased. "I never thought I'd see or hear the day that happens."
I enjoyed teasing him, it was fun. Of course, he teases me back, too. We always have fun together. I missed our fun time together.
He laughs.
"Mon Dieu, tes blagues et tes taquineries me manquent," he says.
I laughed.
"So you were saying, Mon loup," I smiled.
I am curious about what he going to say.
"What am I going to do with you, Mini Lionne?" He chuckled. "But I was wondering where you are and was wondering if you um wanted to hang out or something."
I perked up again from his offer.
"Hmm, I'm further back in the building near one of the exits and was getting ready to head to our home. If you want, you can ride the bike and let me backpack there?"
He laughed.
"I don't have a helmet though, baby girl," he laughed.
I blushed when he called me baby girl. Luckily, I am wearing the helmet and no one can see my blush.
"Da might have his helmet if you want to see if he is willing to let you borrow it?" I suggested. "Which he most likely will."
"Are you sure?" He asked, seemingly nervous again.
I nodded forgetting he couldn't see.
"Yeah, I wouldn't put it past him," I stated. "Da knows you, and besides, I am his princess. He loves to see me happy, and knowing I would love nothing more than to hang out with you does just that."
"Alright, Mini Lionne," he gives in. "Stay there and I will be right over."
"Alright," I said happily, "but before you go, I have to ask."
"Which is?" He wonders
"Are the others okay with this?" I asked. "If you want they can come over too; they can follow us and hang out."
I hear whispers on his end. After a minute or two, he answers.
"They said they are okay. They want to go rest up at the hotel," he answers, "and they think it's sweet that you wanted to invite them."
"Alright, if they are okay with it," I said, "I wanted to make sure they aren't left out or that I was trying to steal you away."
He chuckles.
"Sweetie, they are very understanding," he expressed. "They know we haven't seen each other in a long time and want to catch up but they do think it sweet that you want to include them."
"Well, you know me and how I am," I chuckled.
"I know."
I can hear a smile in that. I just giggled.
"Alright, I see you in a bit big guy," I smiled.
"I see you in a bit, Mini Lionne," he returned.
We hung up. Then, I looked over and saw my family looking at me. I took off my helmet.
"What?" I asked.
"Were you talking to Chris?" Da asked.
I chuckled and nodded.
"Was it that obvious?" I asked with the biggest smile on my face.
They nodded and laughed.
"Plus, you forget you tend to talk with your hands, especially when you're really in a conversation," Ben laughed.
I laughed as I shook my head.
"What did he want?" Mum asked.
"Wanted to know where I was and to see if I wanted to hang out with him," I answered with a smile.
I was trying hard not to blush at the thought. Chris always seems to make me feel like this every time.
"Did you invite him over?" Da asked.
"Of course, but I also said you'd let him use your helmet..." I awkwardly informed nervously.
Da just laughed while Bubba shook his head.
"Lemme go see if I can find it."
Chris p.o.v:
After I hung up the phone with Racheal, I smiled and looked at my crew. They were all looking at me with smiles on their faces.
"What?" I asked, still couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
"It's nothing," said Sammy with a smile. "We just never seen you this happy before."
They all nodded with a smile. I just shook my head with an eye roll.
"Anyway, I am going to finish my stuff and make sure I don't forget anything," I announced. "You can go on ahead and meet Racheal and her brother."
"Are you sure?" Angelo asked while giving his hair a quick comb with the same comb I gave him as a gift.
"Yes, I am sure," I assured them. "Besides, you're gonna want to see their bikes."
"What time type of bike do they have?" I hear Jake ask.
"They have four bikes between them," I stopped and looked at them and laughed a bit.
"Yeah, it's two Harley bikes, and two what they call speed demons."
"Damn," Daniel said in shock and wondered. "Where do they keep them?"
"Well, they have one of each at the other's house," I replied. "Racheal has two bikes at his house and two bikes at her house; same for Ben."
"Do you know which they brought?" Asked Jay and I shook my head.
"Could be any of them, and they are all badass."
"I'll bet," said Daniel. "They both seem like the type of people, even though you wouldn't expect that from Racheal from the looks of it."
That made me laugh. The others seem to agree.
"Yeah, she likes that," I smiled.
"Alright, we head out and meet them," said Matt.
"I am going to stay here and help him out," said Sammy, which shocked me.
"Are you sure baby?" Asked Tay and he nodded.
"It looks like he might need some help," he said as he gave her a peck on the cheek.
A ping of jealousy went through me. I quickly hid it before the others saw it. I don't hate them being together but I envy them. I had been alone even before the split with Jessica. I was never truly happy with her, but I tried for about 15 years. I never realized her cheating and lying ways; nor the fact the twins were never mine.
She was cheating while I was gone and I never knew. It hurt when I found out and it hurt that Ash was in the middle of it; same for the girls, even though they weren't mine. I still saw them as such. I was a better father than their real father.
Racheal was and always will be my rock. She saved more than she will ever know. She will never know either.
I guess I must have been deep in thought. I felt a tap jolting me out of it.
"Sorry, wasn't meant to scare you," apologized Sammy. "You must've been deep in thought."
"I was, sorry," I apologized. "I have a lot on my mind."
"It's fine," Sam replied before asking. "No need to apologize. Was it about a certain White Wolf by any chance?"
I was thinking about it.
"No lying to me either," he said. "You've told me yourself, even when you told no one else."
He is right about that. He is the only one who knows my secret. A secret that not even Racheal knows about, which I hate keeping from her since she is my best friend. We connected on more levels right off the bat.
"Yes," I answered without any hesitation.
No use in lying to him about it.
"Everything was a shock to me. I knew it was bad for her over there but not bad enough for her to leave."
I sighed.
I sat in a chair nearby and put my head in my hands.
"Hey, you did everything you could for her," assured Sam. "There was so much you could but at least she is here now, away from there, and we love her and so do the fans."
He places a hand on my shoulder before he continues.
"I know you are happy she is here, and she looked happy to see you; I mean, I've never seen you so happy before."
"Yeah, she means the world to me," I said. "She helped me a lot, especially when I was going through the divorce, she dropped everything to help me and made sure it was in my favor."
Thinking about everything, she put everything on hold just to help me out. She has such a big heart. That is what drew me closer to her, besides her being headstrong, and honestly made me fall in love with her.
"She is my rock," I said. "I even got rid of Jessica's name I had tattooed on my ring finger, especially since I knew it would be hard to cover it up and I didn't want to see it anymore."
"It was for the best," Sam said, "but glad you got rid of it. From what I have seen, she wasn't good for you; Racheal is."
I sighed.
"You think so?" I asked.
"I know so," he answered. "From what I witnessed, you two fit, and she has a big heart. Also, from what you told me, the stories of the adventures you two had, which still can happen, you guys are just now reconnecting. You aren't backing out of this now. I'm not letting you. I will even help the best I can."
I laughed and shook my head. I got up before I spoke.
"What am I gonna do without you, my good friend?" I asked before I brought him in for a brotherly hug.
He returned it.
"Make a fool out of yourself probably," he answered with a laugh.
I laughed too.
"Now, we mustn't keep them waiting any longer," he said.
"Yeah, knowing Racheal, she can easily be impatient," I said, remembering how my Mini Lionne is.
She tries to be patient but sometimes she seems to lose that easily. Of course, I think it's cute when she tries, she's like a hyper wolf pup. She loves to play and be active.
We both grabbed our stuff and walked out to find the rest of our crew, hoping they found Racheal and her family. After a few minutes, we finally found them and saw them checking out their bikes and helmets.
"There you are!" Racheal calls once she sees us. "I was wondering when you two would show up after nearly taking forever."
"See what I mean?" I told Sammy and he laughed. "Whatchu guys think of their bikes?"
"Awesome," Jake replied.
"I want these bikes," Angelo added.
"And their helmets too," Matt added and we all laughed.
"Yeah, they are awesome," I said with a proud smile.
I still love how they are getting along.
"Yeah, we can communicate and listen to music through them as well," replied my Mini Lionne.
They all looked shocked by that.
"Really?" Tay asked.
"Yeah, they have headphones and communicators installed. It's a lot of fun and pretty useful too," Ben clarified.
"I'll bet," Daniel nodded with impression. "We should get those if we ever get bikes."
"I agree," Sammy nodded.
It was then that Tay came back up to hug her husband's side. They shared a quick kiss, but then it turned into a little make-out session. I turned away as that slight twinge of jealousy started to creep in again. I could see Racheal doing the same thing, just not sure why exactly.
"Mr. Jericho," Carlton suddenly returned with a helmet in his hand. "I believe you'll be needing this."
"Thank you, sir," I nodded while receiving the helmet from him. "With that settled, I think it's time we get going."
Everyone seemed to agree before wishing each other goodnight. A few handshakes, waves, and final congratulations later and my team went their own way.
"I'll take your luggage for you since we're all going to the house," Carlton kindly offered.
"I appreciate that, Big Mac, thanks. See you back there." He takes my luggage and heads back to his truck with Julie by his side.
I look back and see Racheal is already back on the bike waiting for me. I laugh before strapping the helmet on with Benjamin doing the same. I hopped onto the bike and waited for Racheal to get safely settled before I turned it on. Ben started his, then I saw him do something to his helmet and I heard his voice in my ear.
"Are we ready?" He asked.
I gave him a thumbs-up.
"Alright, just follow right behind me," he says.
He took off and I followed behind him. I missed riding, especially with Racheal. It feels amazing.
"This is great, isn't it?" I heard her ask through the headset.
"Yes, it is. I honestly miss this," I replied as I stayed behind Ben.
"I miss this too," she said and I could hear a smile in her voice and felt her snuggling more into me. I really enjoyed the feeling of her against me. Just feeling her body against me, it felt right.
A/N- what do y'all think? I put more history between Racheal and Chris and why they are as close as they are. I will start the next chapter when they get home and all that. Please leave a comment I would really love to know what you guys think so far, it would mean alot to me. And also all the info I have on Chris I get from his bio, I try to keep it as accurate as possible. I might change things like his age he is younger. Other than that I am trying to keep it as close to him as possible sometimes I don't know so if I don't then I have to make it up for the story that's it. It might be real or not, if anyone knows anything about him please direct message me and let me know I would be grateful for the info provided. Thank you guys love you all. Also if you celebrate Thanksgiving, then Happy Early Thanksgiving and if u don't then that's OK I hope y'all have a great night, day, and evening.
