As you can see, there is some tension brewing in the otherwise cool calm and collected friendship circle, well between two of the members at least. Danielle and Daniel, finally unable to see eye to eye? It was bound to happen, yet even though she created such a violent predicament for herself. Danielle was unable to see what was unfolding before her very eyes. In the back of her mind everything was still fine, there was no “trouble in paradise” and what was said on Twitter was nothing more than just a light-hearted jab towards her fun-loving boss.
Boy was she wrong. Dani’s playful words had ended her in a world of hurt a place very few returned from without a scar or two. She didn’t realise the disrespect that she had thrown towards her boss, why would she? Dani didn’t know the real Daniel, she didn’t know the other side of London Underground, that being said she didn’t know anything about a code, nor that she had broken it. All she thought was that she and her boss were finally in a place where they could share some laughs, exchange some witty jabs and move on with what they were here to do… and that was work.
As Danielle tended the bar on this quiet afternoon, it was unknown to her that Kenz, Charley and Os had managed to slip Daniel out the secret exit, so his path didn’t have to cross hers. The lord only knows what he would have done, if he walked past her bright smiling face at a time like this. Daniel was fuming, and the sight of her blinding white teeth would have been the fuel to the fire, causing a catastrophic explosion. As Dani ran over the list to send off for next week’s liquor order, she was oblivious to the fact that her other boss had made his way down from the offices and was making powerful strides in her direction.
Dani finished up the order form, before she flipped the pages back down on her clipboard her attention quickly shifted to the lingering feeling that someone was standing behind her. It wasn’t a feeling that was new to Danielle, since her history with her abusive ex it was hard to shake the unsettling feeling of always known when someone was in her bubble. Turning around swiftly, she pulled the clipboard into her chest as if to conceal herself in some sort of invisible safety net before a loud sigh escaped her nude painted lips.
“Jesus are you trying to give me a heart attack?” she smiled, so her boss knew she was having him on.
Nick just smirked down towards her, there was something about that smile that was always plastered on his face that Danielle couldn’t put her finger on. It was a mixture of mischievousness, with a slight douse of sexy, underlined with a glimmer of malice. Nick was the cool, calm but he was the dangerous type. The bad boy her mother had always warned her to steer clear of, sure Dani didn’t know much about him, but truth be told she didn’t have to. She saw the way he looked at all the female’s he fancied, the way his eyes lined them up like they were just his next meal, however it wasn’t entirely his fault as Dani had witnessed grown women fawn all over him since the day, he walked in the front door of the Golden Ring Casino. Nick had that gentleman charm trapped inside a vessel that wasn’t hard on the eye, making him the ultimate catch.
“Nah, that would mean I’d have to do paperwork.” He said with an assertive smile that somehow even radiated from his clear blue eyes. “We do however, need to talk.” The smile fell from his face within a blink of eye, implying that this was serious.
Nick ushered Dani out from behind the bar, as the two walked off towards the small meeting room that was shut off from the general public. They used this room to run over new promotions with their staff, training updates and just general meetings on how the Casino was going, what needed to change, what was working. There was graphs on the wall that tracked people’s sales, It was one way to keep the staff motivated and on task when they stepped into work each and very shift. Nick held the door open for Dani and watched as she walked into the room, uncertain of where this was going or what she had done wrong all she could tell, was that this was going to be a serious conversation. She heard the door click shut behind her, as Nick motioned for her to take a seat. Doing as she was instructed Danielle, found the closest chair and plonked herself down into it, before her eyes wandered over to see her boss.
“Did I do something wrong?” Dani asked as her eyes shifted around the room, unsure of what she had done.
“That depends on who you ask, Danielle.” He turned to look towards her, his blue eyes were narrowed as he scanned her up and down. “Have you?” His accent made that sound more cheeky than serious.
None of this was making any sense, but Nick had a method to his madness, he waiting to see if Danielle felt guilty for anything to see if she would rat herself out. Yet as time ticked by, nothing came out of her mouth as she was none the wiser about what Nick George was going on about.
“Come on Dani think?” He prompted her. “There’s nothing grinding away at you?” Nick questioned as he finally took a seat in front of her.
Dani just thought about it some more, but nothing was coming to mind. “I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong? I mean, Daniel hasn’t brought anything to my attention?” Danielle said while screwing her nose up as she gave that question some more thought.
“And when was the last time you spoke to Daniel?” Nick went on to lead her down the path he wanted.
“Hmm.” She had to think back as it had been a while. “Well, the last back and forth was on Twitter the other day, apart from that it’s been radio silent on his end.” Still the light wasn’t being turned on for young Danielle. “But you know how he get’s when he is busy.” Laughing it off Dani didn’t think much about it.
Moving forward in his chair, it was hard for Nick not to feel sorry for her, she had no idea that Daniel was walking on eggshells around her because her was furious at her.
“Think again.” Was all Nick could offer as he cupped his hands together.
The sound of his rings clinking against each other as he moved his hands over one another, as if to add to the suspense was enough to drive Dani crazy.
“Just tell me, what have I done?” She pleaded. “I wanted to make it right.” The honesty was dripping from her tone.
Nick could tell by the innocent glow on her face that she was clueless and now it was up to him to have awkward conversation with her about her “wrong doings.” He wasn’t used to being gentle in these type of predicaments, as normally when someone disrespected his boss there wasn’t this grey area of trying to iron out the creases, there was just a reaction normally a very violent reaction. So, this was new to him, having to try and let Dani in on what she had done wrong, all the while keeping his and Daniel’s secret. It wasn’t going to be easy, but Nick knew if he didn’t step in and try and fix this only time would tell how much this had grinded on Daniel’s nerves. The next twenty minutes was spent carefully going over the code that Danielle had just broken, why it shouldn’t happen again and plans of how to fix it.
~~
The following day was rough, after a shitty night’s sleep from tossing and turning thinking about Daniel being irate with her and there was nothing she could do at the moment as he was still screening her calls. To listening to the furniture being moved in the next bedroom over, Dani was aching from head to toe, her head was pounding as she got up for her morning run, hoping that the intake of fresh air would be enough to settle her nerves. It hadn’t but she had to pull herself together as she had training with Gabriel in two hours-time and she had made a promise to him weeks ago to never come to training with a clouded mind. That’s how she ended up almost killing herself last time, the lack of sleep made her sloppy and that made her dangerous to be around in the ring.
Danielle spent the two hours before training wisely as she popped into the shops to pick something up, before she woke herself up with some coffee. It wasn’t long and with some retail therapy under her belt and some caffeine in her system she was ready to go.
Training was running smoothly, everything was going to plan. Gabriel had taken Dani through her drills, they had moved on to finding some new moves for her to unleash inside the six-sided ring that would take her opponents off guard. That’s what the fans seemed to be loving about her, the fact that Danielle could stand across the ring with a veteran like Amy Marshall who everyone had written her off. I mean there was no way that a rookie was going to beat the likes of Marshall? And, yet Danielle was able to do just that, by taking the Hall of Famer off guard.
It was her element of surprise that had the fans guessing what she was going to do next and that’s why the loved her, that’s why they rallying behind her because she wasn’t your typical bombshell. She was growing right before their very eyes and that made the fans feel as if they were on this journey with her. It was something special that Danielle could share with her fans and it was something, that was being absorbed like a sponge to water, she was flourishing.
At the end of her session Gabriel wanted to try his luck on helping Danielle accomplish one more goal, he knew that since she stepped foot into his gym that she had been dying to climb those ropes and do something spectacular. The desire to be a high flyer was just bubbling away under her skin, but until she learnt the basics there was no way Gabriel was going to risk it. Even with Danielle’s extensive gymnastics training and cheerleading history, it still didn’t over shadow the fact that when you’re green in this sport, you’re green. However, Gabriel was going to give her a little taste of what to expect in the months to follow, if she wanted to be a high flyer, she was going to have to learn how to take a bump from higher distance or otherwise, she was going to end up like a frog and end up just falling with a splat. If she wanted to master the air, she was going to have to learn some precision or like a drunken dart, she could be flying anywhere.
He was thorough when he took her through the motions, he was calm and clear on his instructions. Gabriel knew there wasn’t a chance in hell this was going to land smoothly on the first attempt he wasn’t an idiot, but he needed to see where the starting point was and well… it was more the to the right. Danielle followed Gabriel’s instructions to the letter, but once she was up in the air, a hint of fear kicked in and the visualisation of the landing zone, quickly took a turn to the left. A sick thud echoed around the gym as Danielle’s thigh slammed into the steel ring steps on impact. Silence quickly followed as Gabriel just rushed over towards her, making sure his student wasn’t broken.
There was a slight trickle of blood from her now scraped thigh, but Danielle couldn’t show her trainer that she was frightful. Dani quickly got back up to her feet, she looked down at the rip in her gym pants to see the graze. At first, she wanted to scream, then cry from shock but she held it all in as she tried to not cough from the sight of her own blood.
“You alright?” Gabriel offered her a hand, before he made her take a seat on the ring apron.
“I royally stuffed that up didn’t it?” She said defeated.
“Actually.” Gabriel said with a smile. “It wasn’t that bad for a first attempt.” He patted her on the back, letting his praise soak in. “You’ll smash it next time.”
Dani just took a moment to look around, trying to fight back the hot and cold sweats that were now flushing her body. It wasn’t that Danielle was a big cry baby when it came to pain, or blood it was just the overall shock that was numbing her at the moment. With more and more practice that would soon disappear and things like this would become second nature. After all she had suffered her fair share of knocks from gymnastics and cheerleading to last her a life time.
“Again?” She said with a smile.
Gabriel just gently shook his head from side to side. “Not today.” A chuckle soon followed before he looked down at her. “Were finished for today. You need to ice that.” Pointing towards her leg. “straight away. Go shower and I’ll have one of the girls bring some in.”
Gabriel helped Dani down from the ring apron and watched as she limped off towards the female bathroom to clean herself up. Before she reached the door, he called out to her.
“You did good today.” A smile beamed from his face. “I’m very proud of you.”
Suddenly the pain that was radiating from her left leg was nothing as the smile that took over Danielle’s face was enough to distracted her from what her body was feeling. Gabriel Stevens was proud… of her? Never in a million years did she think that moment would come.
~~
A few hours from the incident had pass, and Dani had found herself back at work, she wasn’t rostered on, but she wasn’t here for business, tonight she was here to either fix something. As she walked across the floor, she had a large black box in her hands, that was wrapped in some Union Jack wrapping paper. She thought it was either going to be a nice touch, or a little too much but that’s what Danielle was at times, she was a little too much for certain people to handle.
Making her way towards the stairs she manoeuvred herself up them the large package in her hands wasn’t making this easy as she could barely see where she was going but once she reached the top of the stairs, she quickly put the gift down before she adjusted her knee length black dress. With a very quick pep talk, Dani didn’t waste anymore time as she looked for Daniel’s office door. She wasn’t meant to be up here, none of the floor staff were this was for management only, but she needed to fix what was broken and she needed to do it in the only way she knew how with the element of surprise.
Approaching the door, she lifted her hand a gently knocked, it didn’t take long for a voice to reply from the other side “it’s open.” Stumbling in with her gift, Dani tried to not knock anything over as she placed it down on the floor. Daniel looked up from his desk to see Danielle’s bright smiling face.
“You’re not rostered on tonight.” Was all he could offer her, before his eyes went back down the stack of papers on his desk.
Danielle just made some nervous steps up towards him. “I know, I just wanted to catch you before rush hour starts.”
Daniel didn’t reply, he just looked up at her unsure of what she wanted but she could tell by the look on his face that his blood was starting to boil just from her being here.
“I would like to apologise.” She started off. “I didn’t realise that what I said the other day could be taken as anything other than a joke, however… they were and that was never my intention.” She was looking directly into his eyes as she spoke sincerely. “Sometimes I get gastro of the mouth and I say things, well in this case type things… without thinking of how others may see or hear it.”
Daniel still didn’t say a word as he just looked at Danielle who was almost shaking from her nerves.
“I truly didn’t mean any harm, nor did I mean to disrespect you…” A soft sigh escaped her glossed lips “You have literally given me the world and helped me when you didn’t have to, and I should have been more vigilant of my actions.” She bit down hard on her bottom lip. “I know I will never be able to say sorry enough, or like ever be able to repay you for everything you have done for me… but I hope… that this.”
Dani spun around to pick up her gift, she didn’t waste anymore of Daniel’s time before she placed it on his desk.
“I hope that this, shows you… just exactly what you, Os and the girls mean to me.” Her little voice was shaky as she tried to hold back her tears.
Once she felt Daniele’s hands on the present, Danielle let it go. Spinning on her heels Dani went to exit the room. However, It didn’t take long for Daniel to unwrap the gift and soon enough he was holding a picture of himself, Os, Kenz, Charly and Dani inside the Steven’s gym standing in front of the ring. Just as Danielle was going to make her exit, Daniel caught her attention.
“Dani.” He called out. “Thank you.” He said with a nod.
Danielle just smiled, she wanted to ask if they were all good, but she thought he might need some time to process what she had just given him.

“Climax Control 223 is just around the corner and boy, did I win the tag team partner jackpot.”
The scene opens up to see Danielle Weston, inside the Golden Ring Casino dressed for in ring action, with her World Bombshell Championship draped over her right shoulder.
“You can’t get any better than Sam when it comes to inside that six-sided ring and on Sunday night I get the honour of calling her my tag team partner. It might be for one night only but trust me, I’m fangirling over here.” Dani says with a smile before she continues.
“On Sunday night Sam and I get to face Jessie Salco and Alicia Lukas, in a war of the brands.” A slight roll of her eyes helped kick off her attitude towards this. “Two sets of champions, looking to lock horns with another set of champions all so we can try and prove who the better set is.” She licked her lips. “Isn’t it obvious? It’s it clear that the more dominate brand is and forever will be Sin City Wrestling and yet, here we are… having to prove that in the main event?” Dani shook her head from side to side.
“Jessie, we aren’t strangers in that ring. We have faced each other before, in fact she is one the helped kick start the Dani Gold Rush that led me to whom I am today… your Sin City Wrestling World Bombshell Champion.” She tapped her title with pride. “I have no doubt that you’re going to come out swinging, but isn’t it evident? Your track record against Sam isn’t the best and I have no doubt that your run of bad luck will continue when you face us this Sunday.” A simple shrug of her shoulders was all she needed.
“You shot out early banging on about how you and Alicia are unstoppable as a tag team, rattled off some numbers about how many times you two have tagged together and how many times you have won. Big deal.” Dani just sighed.
“You have never had to face Sam and myself and just…” Dani paused to add some dramatics “Because we have never tagged together” Those words came out dripping with sarcasm, like a SpongeBob meme. “Doesn’t mean that we won’t work well in a team. In fact, I know that Sam and I have what it takes to beat you and Alicia… because you’re both so consumed by the past that you can’t see the future that is before you both.” Dani just looked down the lens of the camera.
“On Sunday night Sam and I will give you both just a glimpse of what it will be like having to face us when it comes to the merger of the titles. You see were not fighting to protect numbers of our past, were not fighting together and spruiking about our egos… we are fighting together to show you both and to the world that Sin City Wrestling is and will always been the elite brand.” She says with a smile.
“This match isn’t about us rattling off our accomplishments, this isn’t about us going on about histories that none of us in Sin City Wrestling really care about, this is about shutting up and getting in to do the work. This is about giving the fans the show they deserve. The main event they crave for. Yet you two just can’t shut up about the past, it’s all you do backstage on the shows and on Twitter” She made the talking sign with he right hand as she clapped it together like someone running their mouths. “That’s all you have done since you arrived here Alicia... is run your damn mouth about how great you are, and what you have done and blah, blah, blaaaaah…” She faked a yawn.
“Then you go and have the audacity to call yourself SCW? Here’s the kicker… in Sin City Wrestling we don’t bore everyone with words Alicia… we don’t run our mouths like you have been since you got here, we let our talent do the talking for us and on Sunday night you’re going to learn that you have a big mouth and you should have kept it shut… because the chance of your little team, beating Sam and I is next to none.”
The ringing sound of a slot machine going off in the background, was just at the right time.
“Both of your inflated egos will get in your way on Sunday night, leaving both of you with losses on your precious little records before you have to step into the ring with Sam and I to defend your titles and trust me, beating us won’t be easy… it’ll be impossible.” Dani said with a confident smirk.
“So, enjoy your last few weeks as champions girls, because when it comes to Inception neither of you will be walking away as the unified champion. This Sunday night will be a taste of things to come your way Alicia… first Sam and I will beat the unbreakable, unbeatable team of yourself and Salco… than at Inception III I’m going to absorb your title” Dani smiles proudly. “And with a bit of luck, you’ll finally shut the…” Ringing of a slot machine again. “Up.”
A simple smile and a wink is all Danielle Weston offered as the scene faded to darkness.
