Rhea Ripley's annoyance

Wrestlemania

Evie woke up the morning of Wrestlemania, determined not to let the stress get the best of her and to just absorb the moment. She was excited to see her first Wrestlemania and hopefully look forward to more to come and to see Sarah who she hadn't seen in months. So much had changed in her life and she had Sarah to thank for it. 

She walked downstairs, still in her pyjamas thinking Rhea would be busy already at work or the gym in preparation for her Wrestlemania match against Charlotte Flair. Evie walked into the kitchen, he slippers dragging lightly on the floor and saw Rhea unexpectedly stood behind the counter making pancakes. 'Morning' Evie chimed at her, 'Hey' Rhea said focusing on her pancakes, Evie reached into the fridge pulling a carton of Orange Juice out. 'Want some oj' she asked, picking up on the American slang she never used whilst she lived in Britain. 'Yes please' Rhea replied, pointing to an empty cup, Evie poured her some and left it by her, taking a seat by the counter. 

'Excited' Evie asked, trying to see what Rhea she would be dealing with today. 'Lonely i guess' Rhea said, completely catching Evie off guard. 'Bet you feel the same though' she continued. 'How do you mean' Evie questioned. 'No family and not really anyone I'm close with' she clarified. 'Oh, I'm not close with my family, i know i should try cause they are all ive got but it feels impossible to do something they are proud of and i will be there and i will be proud when you win' Evie explained. 'Thanks, you should tell your family it will be televised tonight if they want to watch it' Rhea told her. 'I will do, you know the only reason i was rude to you when i first started announcing is because i though you hated me and i am happy for you when you win and i feel for you when you get hurt, i just don't show it because i thought you thought you didn't want to be associated with me.' Evie explained, sipping her orange juice. 'At first i didn't however now your tolerable, now call your parents' Rhea left no room for arguments, pointing to Evie's phone 

Evie picked up the phone slowly, spending as much time as possible messing. She opened a game and waited for it to load. 'She's not answering' Evie said to Rhea, who turned around and told her to show her the phone, sighing loudly at the game Evie was playing. 'Call' she instructed watching Evie call her begrudgingly, leaving it on loudspeaker. She picked up

Mum - Its early, your normally not awake, her mum said emotionlessly into the phone clearly busy doing something in the background.

Evie - Yes, well it's a big day at work. 

Mum - Okay, is there a reason for your call, I sent your stuff

Evie - Yes ive got it thanks, remember how i said that the show's get televised, ill be on tv if you wanted to watch me

Mum - Okay, she interrupted sounding like she didn't believe her

Evie - Its on Peacock, i think its channel 43 but if you search it you should find it, anyway its at 6-8 and its on tomorrow as well encase you miss it

Mum - Okay Evie 

Evie -  Do you think you will watch it, she said Rhea watched as she tried to hide the look of disappointment on her face as she knew her mum wouldn't bother 

Mum - If i have time i will see about it, anything else

Evie - No mum 

Mum - Bye 

The line cut off before Evie could say anything else, she took a deep breath trying not to show any emotion. 'See' she looked at Rhea who gave her a sympathetic glance before turning back to her pancakes. They spent the next few seconds in silence before Rheas phone began to ring, her theme tune alerting her of a call. 'Can you put that on speaker please' Rhea asked, Evie looked at the phone to see Rhea's mum coincidentally calling her. 

Mum - Hey doll, I know your probably busy preparing for tonight but wanted to say we are all so proud of you back home and sending you big hugs and kisses and everyone is coming round so know we are all watching you, how are you feeling

Rhea - I'm good thanks mum, bit nervous but I'm just excited

Mum - Aww that's amazing, ill go now because i know you will be busy but good luck even though you don't need it, love you sweet 

Rhea - Love you bye, she ended the call, turning to Evie who was clearly holding back tears

'Ive called an Uber, I'm just going to get dressed, see you later' Evie stood up and put her empty glass in the sink turning round and walking upstairs. Rhea contemplated whether she should go and see her or whether Evie just needed some time by herself, by the time she had come to a decision to go and check on her Evie walked back downstairs and walked outside, not even saying goodbye before she left, leaving Rhea feeling horrible about the situation that had just unfolded as she heard a car back out of the drive and speed off. 

Evie spent the rest of her day getting ready, practising her names and pronunciations so she wouldn't embarrass herself at Wrestle mania. By the time it was showtime she realised she hadn't had anything to eat at all today and jogged to the buffet, her gold heels in hand as she looked at the thin heel and realised it was going to be near impossible to walk in them. She threw a small pastry down her gob and ran over to the gorilla, knowing they would be wondering where she was. She met Corey and Kevin there, holding onto them whilst she put the shoes on and taking a step and nearly tripping. She took a deep breath and stepped forward in unison with the other announcers.
