CHAPTER ELEVEN; LINGER

    Summer Slam had come to Brooklyn, New York, and for Logan, she was dreading every minute of it.

These past few days had been nothing but pure annoyance, dealing with the interviews had her tired and she sure people could tell from the bluish circles that were present under her eyes. The host of the interview had asked her about the women's revolution, and how it felt to be a part of it. How she felt not getting a spot on Summer Slam, which she had been depressed about lately.

She had to be in Brooklyn for Sasha; giving her the support she needed.

Summer Slam was one of the biggest Paper-views of the year, and to not be a part of it made her upset, so she could imagine what Bayley was feeling right now.

The topic of Seth Rollins had come up from fans in the audience, asking if they were together which Logan had immediately shut down and told everyone that they were just good friends. She knew that they were only interested on her life, but honestly, it wasn't any of their business.

Now, Logan was parking her vehicle in the underground parking lot of the Barclay's center after just picking up some Starbucks for Seth, Renee and Sasha. Tonight, she had dressed up a little more than usual, her hair up in a sleek low pony tail with hair coming down to frame her face.

A strapless white bustier top covering up her chest paired along with some black skinny jeans and some glitter louis Vuitton's. She had to look professional since she had an interview with Corey Graves in the Kick-off which she was excited for.

"Just the woman I was waiting to see," Seth's voice rang out throughout the catering as soon as she stepped foot into the room. He sat beside Renee and Dean, while Sasha and Bayley were busy getting some food.

Logan slipped a huge smile on her face while holding up the tray of drinks, "I've brought some much needed refreshments," She told them and sat the tray onto the table in front of her. Renee reached for her Caramel Macchiato. "Thanks Lo. You're a lifesaver." She said with a smile.

Logan handed Seth his Lime Refresher while Sasha came up and took her Passion Tea. "Have I told you I love you?" She commented, taking the empty seat beside Dean. "No," Logan looked over at her after taking the tray to the garbage. "You wanna say it again," She took a sip of her tea.

"I fucking love you." Sasha said and when Logan sat beside her, she placed a kiss on her cheek. Logan smirked over at Dean, "See, I make straight girls turn lesbian while you make the girls go lesbian." She said smugly.

Renee let out a snort when she looked over at Dean, whose smug expression left his face at Logan's words. "You just think your top shit, huh?" Dean shot back at her.

Logan nodded while stealing one of his curly fries. "Oh, yeah." She smiled while putting the fry into her mouth; chuckling when Dean snatched his bowl from her grasp. "It's only a matter of time until Renee falls for my charms."

Dean rolled his eyes and scoffed at Logan's certain level of cockiness. The two of them were so much alike, that they couldn't be in the same room for more than an hour until both of them were at each other's throats.

"Oh, come on you two." Renee linked her arm into Dean's bicep when things started getting heavy between Logan and Him. "You guys are so much alike, it scares me." Seth shook his head while leaning back into his chair.

"He loves me." Logan looked over at Dean with a smile on his face while he shot her a glare. "Admit it, Ambrose. You fucking love me." She snatched the sunglasses from his head and started running from the catering.

She let out a roar of laughter when she heard Dean come running behind her. "I'm gonna kill you, Perris!" Dean growled from behind, his feet causing echoes throughout the hallway. "You gotta catch me, Deano."

This was like a game of parkour for the both of them. Logan jumped over equipment boxes that were still not put away since they have arrived an hour early at the arena. Dean caught up to the tiny Mexican, wrapping his arms around her waist and squeezing her. "You little shit,"

Together, they made their way back towards catering, the rest of the group waiting for the return of their arrival. "Show me the time!" Renee yelled out when Dean turned the corner and made himself known.

"You owe me fifty bucks, I told you Dean was gonna win!" Sasha yelled over at Seth with a smile when Logan came in last, her hand on her stomach as she was out of breath.

"We are starting off the biggest party of the year, Summer Slam with a little kick off interview with the lovely, Logan Perris!" Corey Graves announced to the entire world, the camera's now focusing on Logan who was sitting between him and Renee.

"Thank you for having me," Her voice came out sweet and soft, nothing like you might expect from the brutal ways that Logan performed in the wrestling ring. "Logan, please tell us what you are wearing, you look exceptional tonight!"

Logan stood up with a smile on her face and started gesturing towards her outfit, telling the camera whose name she was wearing, and they also scanned down towards her glitter Louis Vuitton's after a while, they got started on interviewing.

"So who are you rooting for tonight?" Corey asked, looking over at her with interest.

"Sasha. without a doubt. She's my best friend and I know for a fact that she will beat Alexa tonight, and take the championship tonight." Logan answered confidently.

"There are no hard feelings with your loss just a week ago when you faced with Sasha, only to tap out to the bank statement?"

Logan raised her eyebrow at his question. He sounded like he was trying so hard for something that shouldn't slip out; slip out. "Of course not." Logan shook her head, and just when she was about to open her mouth again, Corey cut her completely off.

"Not even a little bit. We saw your face afterwards, and someone was not happy."

Logan sucked in her cheek when she looked upon the big screen, looking at Logan's pissed off face after she had tapped out to the Bank Statement. She was feeling a little pissed off from this interview as Corey tried his hardest to put a wedge between them; digging for the dirt.

"Well, of course I wasn't happy, Graves. I had just lost a big opportunity in my career." She explained and straightened her posture since she started to sit back. "But, despite losing the match, Sasha and I remain friends but if that Championship is on her shoulder by the end of the night.." Logan looked over at Corey, who was nodding away.

"Friendship aside; I will be coming to take it off of her shoulder." Logan looked over at the camera and gave it a smug expression. "And besides, who doesn't want to see the Boss go one-on-one with the Queen of Monday Night Raw."

"And we look forward to see that championship around your waist, Miss Perris." Corey looked away from her frame and then smiled towards the Camera. "All of us do."

The rest of the interview consisted of what her thoughts were on the rest of the matches that were going to take place tonight, and who she thought would win and why. Corey Graves loved having Logan on the Kick-off since she was such a bubbly and humorous woman, she even cracked a few jokes, making Renee and Corey burst out in laughter.

Renee had asked her about her press interview that took place just a few days ago with Finn Balor, asking her what she thought of the Women's Revolution.

"To be a part of the Women's Revolution, it's amazing. We're changing the history of the Women's division in Wrestling Entertainment and we are showing people all over the world that Women can do what Men can too." Logan had answered her question confidently and Corey had agreed with her, loving the way she had answered that.

Now that Summer Slam was already a few matches in, Logan had been dismissed off of the Kick-Off, allowing her to catch up with Sasha before her big match, and hopefully she would get a chance to talk to Finn later tonight before he went on stage.

She wasn't sure what she was going to say to Finn, since he had seemed pretty pissed off with her the last time they had spoken, which reduced Logan's confidence. But she did realize that she needed to explain herself, and not just leave the poor man hanging.

When Logan spotted Sasha in the makeup chair, her pink and yellow gear already on her body with Bayley sitting next to her, both having smiles on their faces; Logan decided to make her presence known by calling out. "Hey, guys."

"Hey, girl. How did the interviews go?" Bayley looked over which made Logan notice that Bayley wasn't wearing her sling anymore, instead her shoulder was supported with red tape.

"Exhausting. You know that a fan had asked about Seth and I?"

Sasha let out a snort. "That's because they totally ship you guys together, like I do."

Logan glared over at Sasha which made Bayley laugh. "Anyways, I came to wish you good-luck tonight." Logan's eyes flickered back on Sasha and she straightened up. "Thanks," Sasha nodded her head, appreciating that both of her best-friends had her back tonight, and it also made her even more confident in herself to help her win this match and gain the title.

Logan bid her farewells to her two friends before heading off into the direction of Finn Balor's locker room. She had checked herself before leaving to go find him, Sasha had asked where she was heading after checking her appearance and when Logan had smiled slightly; Bayley knew right away that she was heading over to talk to Finn. Since her and Finn were friends, she knew about what was currently happening between them, and Bayley hoped that she would choose him since he was a great guy.

When she entered the locker room without knocking, she saw Finn standing over his paints, looking down them with an expression on his face. He must have just got out of the shower because of the white fluffy towel that hung around his neck, but his ring gear for tonight was already on his body.

Finn's eyes looked to the side when he felt a presence standing behind him, and when he noticed it was Logan who had walked in and not his artist, he immediately frowned; not wanting to add to his worries for tonight. "If ya ar' here to tell me what I think you're about to say, don't bother. I don't need that on my mind right now." His voice came out rather dark, not even looking over where Logan stood with her hands locked together in front of her.

"Finn-"

"Just get out, Logan." He cut her sentence off, not wanting to hear more of her excuses of why she had pushed him away. He was sick of her excuses. But Logan wasn't having Finn's attitude towards her, yeah, she was a bitch towards him and that gave him the excuse to kick her out of his locker room, but she wasn't leaving.

Logan rushed up towards him, grabbing hold of his arm and swinging him around. Finn was surprised of the nerve this girl had, but that look of surprise was soon replaced with a dark glare when he looked at her own firing, her eyes like a gun that shot a bullet through his. "Get the-" Logan cut him off mid-sentence by smashing her lips to his. He was shocked with her actions, needing to pull his thoughts together before gathering his wits and kissing her back a few seconds later. Finn pressed closer eagerly, while Logan wrapped her arms around his neck. She could feel each muscle contract as her hands roamed up, his skin on fire from her touch.

It was when someone had cleared their throat that Logan and Finn pulled away; both of them looking towards the doorway. "Am I interrupting something?" Finn's artist asked while holding some paints in his hands.

Logan cleared her throat. "No, I was just leaving actually." Logan took one look back at Finn before walking out the door to go watch the rest of Sasha's match.
