It Could

Pairing: Buffy/ ?

Rating: G

Disclaimer: Buffy belongs to Joss and WWE belongs to Vince

Summary: Why is it that the one man she hates is the one she can’t stop thinking about?

“Girl you here?”, Buffy had been looking for her friend for the last ten minutes. She had got a message from her telling her to meet her in the café where she would be meeting her boyfriend. She had been seeing Nitro for about a month and it was going well although she had only agreed on a date to begin with so Melina and Joey would have other people to go out with.

She was only supposed to have been here for the summer but when she had phoned Giles and told him what had happened he had demanded she stay a bit longer as the Hellmouth was going through a quiet patch and the Slayer badly needed a break. She had got the job of walking Matt Hardy down to the ring after Vince had seen her single- handedly stop a fight between Taker and Randy Orton. He didn’t know one man who would go between those two but here was a girl who he wasn’t sure was even 5 foot get in and throw her weight around.

Of course when she had phoned home and told Xander he nearly had a heart attack when she asked Taker to talk on the phone to him. Of course it helped that she had him on her side. In fact she got on with most people apart from him. She didn’t know why but when they were introduced he had an instant dislike for her which suited her fine as she couldn’t stand the moody bastard either.

“Bring Bring” “Hello”, she answered as she continued her journey “I’m stuck”, the woman who she was searching for yelled into the phone “Bloody hell Mel calm it I ain’t deaf”, she sighed “What’s wrong. She found out the other girl had got herself locked in a storage cupboard. And it wasn’t exactly unsurprising it was typical of Melina.

She pressed speed dial and waited on her boyfriend answering “Hiya sweetcheeks, what’s up?’, one part of the tag champs answered. Buffy knen explained what had happened and that she would be later than she thought. They decided to meet later on that night.

“I could kill you Mel”, she groaned as she got to the storage room. Opening the door she turned the light on “You in here?”, her answer came when she heard the door shutting behind her. “What the ……….Melina is that you”, she screeched. “Yep I’ll let you out later I promise”, she shouted back. Buffy tried to break the lock but even with her strength it wasn’t going to budge.

“She just really pisses me off”, he growled into his drink. He Nitro and Matt Hardy were sitting in a bar talking about the fight he’d had with Buffy earlier that day. “it was both of you”, Matt shook his head as he disagreed with his friend. “Actually he started it”, Nitro defended his girlfriend. The other two men just stared at him. “You hit Buffy as you fell off the ring and you didn’t apologise”, he shrugged picking up his glass.

“I’m taking a leak”, he scowled leaving Matt and Nitro sitting there . The phone went Nitro answered had a quick conversation and shut it off. “That was Mel she’s got her trapped. “I don’t know if this is a good idea Johnny”, Matt raised his dissaproval. “Come on it’s obvious they both like each other so we are just pushing them along”, Nitro explained with no malice in his voice. He had known for a while that Buffy wasn’t really interested in him but it didn’t really bother him at least he’d got a few months of really great sex out of it. “I just hope you appreciate what I’m giving up mate”, he said to himself.

“Jesus this is too bright”, he moaned wishing he hadn’t had that last drink. “It’s all your fault bitch”, he said talking about Buffy. He washed his face and made his way out to the car where Nitro and Matt were waiting for him. Since Matt was the only sober one he drove them back to the arena.

When they entered the building they made their way to where Melina was standing “Hey could you get me a chair from out that cupboard please?”, she batted her eyelids at him. Shaking his head he opened the door and walked in and like before the door shut on him.

“Get the……….door”, Buffy said just as it slammed on him. “Good one”, she growled “Now we’re both stuck in here”, she threw at him. “Together” , she flung herself onto the only avaliable chair. “What do I do now”, “Well you could SHUT THE HELL UP”, he screamed at her.

Part 2

Summary: Buffy and her mystery man are stuck in the cupboard. Will they survive the night?

"Who the fuck are you talking to you arse?", Buffy screamed at him. It was bad enough that her supposed friend had stuck her in her but what made it worse was who she was stuck in the cupboard with. The one guy she hated most in the entire world. She still had the bruise that she'd got courtesy of him earlier that night. She looked over and he was still staring at her "Just keep out of my way idiot", she huffed as she slid down the wall.

He looked around the little bit of space that they had but he couldn't concentrate. He could smell her. He stole a look at her and saw her eyes were shut. It gave him a chance to have a good once over of her. God knows what he saw in her. She was the complete opposite of what he normally went for but he did want her. He would never admit it anyone but himself but it was true. He wanted to be the one to make her smile and be the one to help her if she hurt but he knew it was only a dream. Nothing would ever happen.

Her slayer senses told her that he was watching her without even having to open her eyes. He really got under her skin and she couldn't explain why. Sure she had had this type of relationship before with Spike but he was a hottie which is something you could never accuse the man in front of her of being but she knew where this was heading all the same.

"How do you think it's going?", Psicosis and Matt were sitting in the café with MNM. "Matt looked over at Nitro who had asked the question "God knows man she's probably killed him by now". "I still don't get why you are doing this though", he looked at the other man. Nitro shrugged "She's cool but it's just not right between us", he left it at that.

"Why do you hate me?", she opened her eyes to see him looking over at her. "Can you tell me",. "I don't hate you", she looked down at the floor "I just don't like the kind of person you are is all". He got up and moved to sit beside her. "That's not me Buffy", he looked at her "You don't know the real me just like I don't know the real you".

She looked up "Meaning". "Meaning the way you act with me gives you this image of being a hard faced bitch and I know that's not true", he put his hand on her cheek and started stroking it. "I know life's been a bitch to you I can see it in your eyes even when you try to hide it". She tried to duck her head down but he stopped her "You should never hide who you really are Buf especially from me baby", she knew he was going to kiss her but she didn't want it to stop.

"They've been quiet for way too long", Melina was worried that they had done the wrong thing. "Open the doors up Matt". He moved past her and opened the lock and took a glance inside the room before quickly shutting the door. " I'd give them some more time", before walking away

Confused Melina opened the door and saw Buffy and him snuggled up with only a blanket covering their modesty. Seeing the door open Buffy had immediately burrowed her head into his chest in embarrassment. "I'm so..sorry", Melina stuttered. "You wanna shut the door behind you" She looked up and straight into the eyes of JBL who had a grin on his face. "I guess you've solved the problem then", she grinned before shutting the door.
