Fic: Of Gorgeous Women, Teddy Bears and Pizza
Title: Of Gorgeous Women, Teddy Bears and Pizza
Fandom: Wrestling
Pairing: Alex Shelly/SoCal Val
Summary: Alex finds her gorgeous and can’t stop staring, Val finds it endearing, and needs some food.
Notes: I’m really sorry this sucks, I haven’t watched TNA in months because I always manage to forget its on. I did watch it online, so this is an extension of Val’s current storyline, I basically made up my own where her and whatshisface are feuding with Shelly and Sabin.

“You are one gorgeous woman did you know that?” Alex Shelly murmured to himself, gazing across the hallway at the redheaded beauty standing there. She was, he’d thought that from the moment he’d first met her. He knew it was a little creepy, the way his eyes were always drawn to her whenever she was in the vicinity.
He dragged a hand through what was left of his hair and let out a soft sigh, turning away. He had more important things to deal with than his own admitted crush against the beautiful SoCal Val, even if she amazed him.
“Not a good thing my friend, not a good thing,” Chris Sabin clapped him on the shoulder and squeezed lightly. “Not that I don’t think she’s beautiful too because hell just look at her, but I need your head in the game right now dude,” he dragged him into the guerilla position so they could get ready for the match.
He didn’t want to have to be hauling his tag partner backstage because he got distracted by some vixen, as some of the guys backstage liked to call her.
*~*~*~*~*
She never knew whether or not she should be flattered or frightened by him, but he was certainly the kind of man she wouldn’t mind being around. It was the reason why she found herself walking to his hotel room after the show with a small teddy bear clasped in between her hands, its head expanding dangerously as she squeezed it tight in her nervousness.
“Are you going to hand that over, or do you routinely pop the heads off of helpless little teddy bears outside people’s hotel rooms? What did me or young Jenkins there ever do to you?” Alex asked, having opened his door when he had heard someone stirring outside of it.
He had never in his dreams imagined that she would be standing outside his hotel room.
“Did you want to come in?” He tilted his head to the side, smiling when her cheeks flushed and she seemed to snap herself out of it.
“Yeah I do,” she stepped past him into the room and looked around. “So I brought you this, because I didn’t mean to hit you tonight, and even though it doesn’t look like you’re hurt because well…I’m me its my idea of an apology,” she nodded to herself.
This current feud she was in had left lots of opportunities for the two of them to interact, her being the bad girl against his tag team with her client.
“I’ve really enjoyed working with you,” she told him, shifting her weight from foot to foot as he took the bear from her and she was left with nothing else to do.
Alex nodded, studying the teddy bear he tossed it on the bed. “I’m glad you came here, I’ve actually been meaning to talk to you about something,” he told her, folding his hands behind him he moved closer to her.
“I’m sure you’ve noticed me watching you, and I’d like to apologize for it. I generally try not to scare the women who I’m interested in, but you’re here now so it must not be that frightening,” he continued, his voice soft as he practically babbled.
SoCal Val kissed him softly on the cheek, “I’m not frightened at all, so how about you treat a girl to dinner? I’d enjoy it if you did. Pizza perhaps?” She asked, smiling when he turned to look at her with amazement in his eyes.
“Damn, I knew you were my kind of girl,” Alex grabbed his jacket. “Let’s go.”
Val smiled up at him, nodding she followed him quickly out the door, happy that sometimes taking risks paid off.

I'm glad she wrote it for you, I just was bummed out, as I usually tell people I write things without communicating them properly.
But at the same time, I felt like if you asked for this from her then maybe it's because you wanted her to make up for me being bad.
no subject
I write things for people who ask for them, no connections and she specified the pairing.
She did say she loved the fic and Alli as I know her is a very honest open person and I would believe her if she said she loved it.
Perhaps since my fic was shorter than yours it took her less time to formulate a reply, as it is what I believe you referred to as a marshmallow or fluff without much plot.

But yeah, when I saw your fic on my flist it didn't necessitate a lengthy, thought out reply. No offense to you, of course, Ashley, but I thought "omg I loved it and I loved this about it" would do. I don't love one more or less, I just haven't sat down in my computer chair since like the 21st lol
no subject
1. it would allow me quicker writing time to do more ficlets and graphics and
2. because it's easier to read in a rush.
Being a writer on ff.net I'm always happy with something that is more than, "Write more plz."
no subject
But now I can feel okay enough to attempt to write another version of it instead of starting over.

Aww it's totally marshmellowly cute and you know it. :-p. I love marshmellow love.

When you came to my journal - yes, once, but when you wrote, I responded and it was a little putting-me-on-the-spot - I told you that I DID like it and I just needed time to FB and that I wasn't at my computer much (without the sob story/personal info of WHY I wasn't at my computer).
Rabid_R posted "who wants fic" many many many many many weeks ago. It was completely independent of wwe_divas. For you to assume it had anything to do with you is just silly.
To comment on a fic written for me seems passive aggressive because you knew I would see it, plus this isn't the place for this, PLUS you had already contacted me. Even if it was all because you were feeling insecure, this was really not the way to deal with it.
In fact, it was hurtful to me and to this author. Who wants drama in their fic journal?
And instead of giving me a chance to enjoy gifts that were supposed to be for me, you were only concerned with how it affected you. Even if that meant hurting me - you don't know me, and I'm a pretty sensitive person.
You need to (a) stop jumping to conclusions (b) stop assuming that things have to do with you when they might not (and in this case don't) (c) stop being insecure. Easily said than done, I know... but I really enjoyed your Trish/Jericho fic and appreciated that you wrote it. It IS GOOD. But all of this? Kinda necessary. And kinda hurtful.
I hope you get where I'm coming from... I'm not trying to attack, I'm trying to stand up for myself because for some reason you brought your issue with me here.

The wow I feel stupid kind in relation to seeing someone write what I wish I could have done right the first time.
It lasts and then it stops.
You seem like you go for brutually honesty- so do I, so yea I was just saying how I felt at the time to Ashley... and then I moved on like 10 minutes later.
I wasn't trying to create drama or fight with you or not fight with you. I was bummed, felt ashamed, embarrassed, and let it show instead of hiding it. I'm not spiteful though, or jealous, or sour.
And I'm sorry if you felt I was attacking you because I wasn't, I was attacking myself.

no subject
4.5 hours for a WEEK??? omg that's insane :/ I'd be pissed if that was one shift. Maybe everyone will need you to cover their shifts :)
