It's been a week since I joined Team Taz, I just couldn't stand tagging with Kris Statlander anymore. We came down to the ring for Ricky's match against Sammy Guevara, in the middle of the match Ricky came over to me putting his arm around me and he put on a headset making sure it was on right before he started talking;
"You see I'm beating up this idiot, he didn't follow the advice we gave him so he's getting his ass whooped" he says taking off the headset kissing my head then goes back to the ring
"I wish you would stop doing that" I said to Ricky shooing him off
Ricky continued to beat up Sammy as Taz praised him and Brian Cage nudged me;
"You know he's never going to give up on you right?"
"His ego is too big not to unfortunately" I roll my eyes
In the middle of the match Ricky got out the ring coming over to the announce table to annoy me so I hid behind Hobbs while I kept saying "no" making Hobbs laugh. Ricky shrugged getting back in the ring to continue the match as Tay Melo got on the apron
"That's all you Ana" Dante joked
"Of course it is" I mumble to myself moving from behind Hobbs going to the ring where Tay was
I pulled Tay off the apron getting into her face as we started to argue with each other, Vivianne came over to me backing me up which distracted Sammy letting Ricky get the roll up victory
He rushed out the ring before Sammy could hit him and Ricky put his arm around my shoulder again laughing at Sammy, I moved Ricky's arm off of me as I went backstage following behind team Taz
"My nail broke" I showed Vivianne; the only member of Team Taz I really talk to
"Don't worry about it I can pay for it to get it fixed baby" Ricky said flirting with me
"Will you leave me alone"
"It's alright you haven't warmed up to me yet baby" he said putting his arm around me
I move his arm once again walking away to the Team Taz locker room by myself
When I heard the door open I grab my sandal turning around pointing it at the door because I could already tell it was Ricky;
"Oh my days Richard!"
He put his hands up in defence, "don't worry I'm not here to flirt I'm just here to get my suitcase just like you"
"Then start packing it" I say pointing my sandal at him then at his suitcase
"Okay baby" he winked
I walked over to him to smack him with my sandal but he grabs my hand making the sandal fall onto the floor, he started to hold my hands for a few seconds stepping closer to me but I move from him when I heard the locker room door opened. I picked up my sandal swatting it at Ricky but he ducks and laughs
"You better leave me the fuck alone Ricky"
After the show we all packed up and headed our separate ways; I left with Ricky, Vivianne, and Brian. When we got to the hotel we all walked to the elevators but Brian and Vivianne didn't get on; Brian stopped Vivianne from getting on and I could tell what he was trying to do
The elevator started to go up a floor but got stuck between the second and third floor which made the lights go out; the only thing that gave us light was the moonlight shining in from the elevator windows;
"You've got to be kidding me, ugh!"
"What? You don't want to be stuck with me?"
"Ricky working with you is enough"
He came over to me backing me against the elevator wall as the moonlight from the side windows of the elevator shined on his chest, I looked at his chest as it shined from the moonlight but I guess I was starting for too long because he tiled my head up by my chin so I could look up at him. He was standing a little too close to me as he leaned down putting his hands on my waist but I was too nervous to move, I didn't know what to do so I just continued to stand there. He leaned down kissing me as I put my hand on his stomach letting it rest there as I kissed him back
When the elevator finally opened we were greeted by Brian and Vivianne so I moved from Ricky walking out the elevator;
"Imma fucking kill you Cage" I said rolling my suitcase to the room then slamming the room door behind me with Ricky following behind me
"Ana" he says coming into the room closing the door behind him locking it before he sat down next to me
"No Ricky"
"Listen to me" he said pulling me to him as he sat down on the one bed
"Let's talk"
"There's nothing to say Ricky"
"Ana we kissed so there is a whole lot to talk about"
"I don't want to talk about it" I go to move but he grabs my wrists lightly having a grip on it
"Ana stop and look at me"
I looked down at him
"Look I know you don't like me but we really need to talk about it, okay?"
I nodded
"Do you have feelings for me?"
"No Ricky"
"Then why did you stand there when I kissed you?"
"You backed me to a wall and I had no where else to go"
"You could've asked me to move"
I stayed silent
"But you didn't, so my guess is that you're in denial about liking me"
I stayed silent again
"Am I wrong Nana?"
All of my close friends call me Nana but when Ricky called me it I started to get a weird feeling in my stomach
To what he asked me I didn't give an answer
"your arms are reaching and your eager heart is throbbing" he says tilting his head looking at me
"Exactly" he says when I didn't give an answer
He stood up making me stand up with him and he leaned down kissing me again, I once again didn't move. When he pulled apart he looked down at me "point proven baby girl" he said moving away from me and going to his suitcase
The Next Week
"You kissed Ricky?" Hobbs asked as him and I were the only ones in the locker room
I looked at him 'confused'
"Yesterday he and I went out for drinks and he told me"
"He kissed me Hobbs I didn't kiss him"
"Whatever you say Ana" he patted my back walking out the locker room once he put his suitcase down
After he left Ricky walked in after him so I turn my full attention to him
"Why are you telling Hobbs we kissed?"
"Because we did"
"He's saying I kissed you, you kissed me"
"We still kissed"
"You need to stop lying, who else did you tell?"
"What you mad you didn't kiss me first?" He joked
"quit doing that" I smack his arm
"What you like it?" He teased
"Ricky!"
He chuckled
"You think this shit is funny but it's not"
He walked to me putting his hands on my waist kissing me again, I put my hands on his sides kissing him back. He took my hand walking over to the couch that was in the locker room and he sat down pulling me onto his lap while his hands rested on my waist
"You gotta stop doing this Ricky"
"Hm?" He hummed looking at me
"You heard me, I don't want to get myself into this not knowing what I'm going to be dealing with or if I'm just going to end up getting hurt again Ricky"
"Ana, I like you I really do it's not just my character why do think I keep chasing you? Because I seriously do care about you Ana and I'm not saying that to keep you from getting hurt, I'm saying it because it's true" he pulled me closer to him making me lay on him as my head rested on his shoulder
I stayed there because I felt comfortable, I was starting to feel safe in his arms. I looked up at him as my head still laid on his shoulder as his arms wrapped around me
"I don't know Ricky"
"Why? Open up to me"
I was quiet for a few seconds thinking to myself 'do I really want to get myself into this?' 'Do I want to get involved with Ricky?' 'Do I want to date another coworker?'
"I don't know if I want to get myself into this I've tried this before and it didn't end well, I don't have good luck with guys"
"What makes you think I'm like them? I'm different Ana, you see how you feel calm now?"
I nodded
"So we both know you thought about dating me since Wednesday it's in your body language"
"How do I know if you're not just flirting with me and just want my body?"
"Ana what do I need to lie for? I would never use you like that you can even ask Hobbs he'll tell you I have genuine feelings for you and want you for you trust me you don't want me to ramble on and on about you"
"Don't fuck it up Ricky"
"You have my word"
What he said calmed me down, why was I seriously falling for Ricky?
We just sat there in silence as he continued to hold me, I move my head to his chest to listen to his heart beat calmly closing my eyes to hear it better
Viv's pov
I opened the locker room door quietly to see Ana sitting on Ricky's lap laying on him with him holding her, now that is cute. When. Taz and the rest of the team caught up to me I quickly closed the door
"I want a title match" I looked at Taz
That made the whole team do a u turn and go to Tony Khan's office, the least I could do was give Ricky and Ana some alone time
I wasn't a fan of aew when Team Taz were a thing but ofc I saw some (a lot) clips of them, so seeing Brian Cage coming for HOOK and his title and the promo having a bunch of Team Taz flashbacks is so chef's kiss, I feel like I am living an era that I didn't lived!
Also this match will be so freaking good for HOOK, because he will show everyone that he can still fold guys that are the triple size of him 😌
(Ps: it was so freaking hard to find this gif AHHH)
