⋆——————✧◦♚◦✧——————⋆
You stood backstage, waiting for one girl to walk through the curtains.
Paige.
She just won a match against Alicia Fox and after celebrating with the fans for 7 minutes, she made her way past the curtains.
"Y/n!" She called out for you, smiling as she noticed you waiting for her. "Hey Paige. Good match out there!" Paige smiled at your paise. "Thanks, and between you and me, it was pretty easy." Paige whispered the last bit, earning a laugh from you.
That made her smile.
You both kept eye contact, not once breaking away.
Unfortunately, the moment was broken apart with someone calling her name. "Paige! C'mere for a second!" Paige didn't look away immediately, but after a couple of seconds she gave you an apologetic smile and left. You stared at her back, watching as she left.
"Hey, what'chu doing?" You let out a gasp, jumping around to see Naomi standing there with her pom-pom in hand.
"Oh jeez, Naomi! You scared the day out of me!" Naomi smiled. "Staring at Paige again, I see." Your eyes grew wide as you looked at her. "Again? I don't even stare at her!" Naomi nodded her head, giving you 'the look.'
"Yeah sure. Whatever you say. I think it's pretty obvious that you like her. Just tell her how you feel, I'm sure she feels the same way." As Naomi spoke her mind you shook your head.
"No, no, I can't tell her. What if she rejects me? I'm totally not her type. She probably sees me as just a friend." You rambled, denying the thought of telling her.
Naomi frowned at your words, looking at you. "Hey girl, chill out. I'm sure she likes you back, but we'll never know if you don't confess. Now I'm not saying you have to tell her, but just think about it. Me and Cameron have a match, so I'll see you after that, okay?" You nodded your head, letting her leave.
The thought of telling her scared you, but at the same time it would answer your question.
-
Later on in the day you thought about all the possible outcomes that could happen if you told her the truth.
'Maybe she'll tell me she likes me back and ask me out.'
'Maybe she'll reject me and make fun of me with her friend, AJ.'
'Maybe she'll break off our friendship and never speak to me again.'
Although most were negative you found the courage to tell her.
You stood in front of the mirror, practicing your confession. "And I just wanted to know if you like me back." You finished speaking to yourself with a smile. "Alright. I can do this." You took a deep breath and opened the door to your locker room. "Let's do this."
You searched all around the arena for Paige, but still didn't find her. You were just about to give up and plan it for another day, but then you saw her talking to Rosa.
You made your way over with a smile. "Hey guys." You greeted the two, stealing the attention of Paige. "Y/n, I was hoping I would talk to you after earlier." You smiled at her words.
Paige completely ignored Rosa, deciding to talk to you. "Yeah, I really wanna talk to you. In private, please?" You asked, looking behind her at Rosa.
Rosa had an offended look on her face. "Um, we were in the middle of the conversation. Can it wait until later or next week?" Rosa butted in before Paige could speak.
Your mouth grew dry as you heard that, a fake smile appearing on your face. "Yeah, sorry. I'll talk to you next week Paige." You didn't let Paige get a word in before you left, leaving the two to talk.
-
You then tried again next week on RAW. All divas were called up to the arena early to discuss plans for the next month. After the small meeting girls began to leave, but you stayed back, waiting for Paige.
As if she could read your mind, she turned her head and made eye contact with you. With a smile, she walked towards you and you began walking to her, but Rosa slid in the way, blocking your view from her. "Paige! You look really pretty today!" A frown came to your face.
Now she'll definitely not talk to you.
You didn't stick around to wait on Paige, leaving the arena to go to the gym to train for your tag match.
After 2 minutes of Paige fake laughing and smiling at Rosa's boring conversation, she looked back at the spot you were once in, only to see you gone. She silently cursed at Rosa for taking up her time.
-
The tag team match with you and Natalya went well, picking up a win for you both. You took a quick shower and on your way to the parking lot, a call of your name stopped you. "Wait up, Y/n." You turned around to see Paige running to you.
Your mood boosted up at the sight of her. "Hey, sorry I haven't been able to talk to you a lot." You gave her a small wave, brushing it off. "Oh it's fine. You are Paige after all, many people want your attention." You both shared a laugh and decided to catch up on some things.
Although you two were alone for a couple of minutes, you couldn't find the confidence in you to tell her how you felt.
"Well, I won't keep you standing here. I'll see you next week?" You nodded your head. "Yeah, definitely. Oh, and I'll be watching Total Divas tonight!" Paige smiled even bigger at that. "I'm gonna put in a show of ya." You two said your goodbyes and off you went to your hotel room.
-
After doing your nightly routine you crawled up in bed, turning to Total Divas as promised. You ate snacks, while making small comments about events that happened, but then it showed Paige.
At first you smiled, but then Rosa came into frame. They started talking about something and then Rosa grabbed Paige by her cheeks and pulled her in for a kiss.
Your eyes grew wide as you began coughing up a skittle you put in your mouth. Paige's eyes were just as wide as yours as she pushed Rosa away. "Rosa, wha-" You turned off the TV before hearing what Paige had to say.
You knew something was up with Rosa. She was always interrupting your conversations with Paige, or was just trying to steal the spotlight, as if she was jealous of you and Paige's relationship.
Even though Paige pushed Rosa away, clearly not liking the kiss, you knew you had to confess.
Even if that meant she would be pushing you away.
-
Next week came around and the moment RAW started, you were on a mission. After having a long talk with Naomi on the phone you were confident and were not gonna back down.
You spotted Paige talking with Sandra about her ring gear and you couldn't wait until their conversation was finished. You need to talk now.
"Paige, can I talk to you for a minute?" Paige looked at Sandra and she excused herself. She had a concerned look on her face as she spoke. "Yeah, come on, let's go somewhere more private." She led you both to her car and allowed you to get in. "You wanted to talk to me?" Paige asked, giving you her full attention.
"So, I've been trying to tell you something for the past two weeks but we're interrupted every time, and now that I got your attention, I'm just gonna say it. I like you. I like you a lot. You're just so pretty, and talented, and such a good friend, I just fell in love with you. I didn't tell you because I was afraid of you rejecting me, but after seeing Rosa kiss you last night, I knew if I don't tell you now that you'll move on and that's the last thing I want you to do."
It was quiet in the car except for the sounds of nearby cars on the road. You began biting your lip, feeling nervous as she didn't say anything. "Paige? Can you say something? Anything?"
This time instead of someone grabbing her, she grabbed you, pulling you in for a kiss. You quickly kissed back, moaning at the taste of her lips. Her hand held your cheek gently as she deepened the kiss.
You two continued to lock lips for a couple more seconds before pulling back slowly. Unbeknownst to you both, someone, (Naomi) was snapping pics of you two, ready to post to social media.
You both were blushing furiously, her pale cheeks now having a shade of pink. "Will you go out with me?" You couldn't find the words to say yes, so you nodded your head. "Great, I'll pick you up after the show." And with that, Paige got out of her car and went back into the arena.
