Tanq POV

12:00 PM

We're almost two hours into the trip to Reno and I've got my eyes glued to the window playing "I Spy" with myself out of boredom. Note: It's not fun. I hear the other superstars around me conversing and joking, but I just don't want to  participate. Instead, I'm pushing all the negative shit that's been happening recently to the back of my head and taking a moment to think about my plans for the new year. 2021 isn't over yet and there's still so much to do, but I've also gotten a lot done. I joined the WWE, became the RAW Women's Champion, and had an affair with Roman Reigns: not too shabby, don't you think? I do know that my number one plan for the new year is to break Charlotte's title record, but where do I go from there? I guess I'll just keep reigning. Oh! That's if I make it out of my match with the title at Survivor Series. Sasha's fully recovered from her minor injury and now that triple threat match I was supposed to have with her and Alexa is back on. It worries me, yes, but I can't allow myself to be shaken by it; I have to fight them and I HAVE to win. There are no other options, but I've got my work cut out for me, that's for sure. In the midst of my thoughts, I notice Joe poking my knee and I turn to look at him.

"Hello?"
"Yeah, hello is right. I've been tryna get your attention babygirl, where's your head at?" He asks me in a concerned tone.
"Everywhere, to be honest."
"Anything you wanna talk about? I'm listening."
"Nah, I'm alright right now, thank you though. Don't worry about it." I say and pat his knee softly.
"You know all I do is worry about you. You sure there's nothing you wanna get off your chest?" He asks again and I look at him and lean back in my seat.
"Well, not really; I mean I really was just thinking about how I'm TOTALLY RETAINING MY TITLE AT SURVIVOR SERIES ON SUNDAY!" I exclaim loudly, making Alexa and Sasha both turn around to look at me, their jaws dropped.
"Oh! I know she didn't!" Alexa yells out.
"Mmhmm, oh yeah she did." Nia chimes in from beside her.
"Don't start nothin' won't be nothin' shorty!" Sasha yells back at me.
"Hey, I'm not starting anything I know I can't finish, and I guarantee that this will end with me pinning both of you at the same time, say I won't." I brag and flip my long braid over my shoulder and chuckle as the other superstars begin to take their sides.
"I got money on T." Joe says raising his hand.
"Me too!" Dean agrees.
"We may not be talking right now, but my money's totally on Tanq." Seth chirps up with a raised hand and Alexa crosses her arms and pouts.
"No fair! Of course you guys are gonna bet on her, she got ya'll whipped!"
"Yeah, especially Rome, since that's her BILF and all." Nia snickers from her seat.
"BILF? Dafuq is a BILF?" I laugh out.
"You know, BILF: Bestie I Like to Fuck."

The bus erupts into "Holy Shit" chants in response to her unsolicited jab at the affair rumors circulating around Joe, Seth, and I. Yes, Seth got thrown into the mix; people won't stop tweeting. Here are some:

Ugh, I hate the Internet. Back to the action on the bus.

"Aye, I'm only saying what the twitterverse is saying!" She says defending herself.
"We're not fucking, Nia! " I shout and flip her off as she and Alexa continue to laugh.
"Oh my gosh, look at how red his face is!" Sasha adds in pointing at Joe.
"Because it's embarrassing, Sasha!" He exclaims and hides his face in his hands and I put my hand over my heart and gasp.
"Is the thought of having sex with me embarrassing to you? Am I embarrassing to you??" I squeal and he looks at me, his eyes wide and face even more flustered.
"What?? No, that's not what I'm saying! I'm sure sex with you would be gre—okay, wait." He says catching himself and leaning back into his seat as we all laugh at his reaction.
"I'm just saying that the RUMORS are embarrassing, NOT you." He finally replies.
"Damn right." I laugh out and the commotion calms down quickly.
"Y'all know I just like to fuck with you, right? I don't mean any harm." Nia says turning to look back at me and I wave her off.
"I know you don't, unlike certain people, but we won't get into that." I say and roll my eyes when I hear Seth and Joseann scoff.
