Julian Tijerina and Maria are happily discussing the former's victory against LJ Summers just a few minutes ago as they make their way through the backstage area. El Guapo has one arm around her lovely lady friend who herself has an arm around Julian's waist. Both are smiling as wide and as genuinely as they can, clearly still at the mercy of their shared celebratory mood. Feigning a lengthy monologue, The Spanish Sweetheart plants a brief kiss on Maria's luscious red lips from out of nowhere, surprising The Spanish Spitfire who lets out a tiny yelp of surprised glee. Spencer Burke awkwardly arrives with a microphone and a camera man, though thankfully, the kissing didn't last longer than necessary.
Spencer Burke: Uhm, excuse me? Guys?
Julian, grinning, welcomes the interviewer with arms wide open, as if greeting an old friend.
Julian Tijerina: Spencer, my amigo! How are you this fine evening? You look good. So good.
Julian turns to Maria who is still smiling, although obviously not at Spencer Burke.
Julian Tijerina: Doesn't he?
Maria is caught surprised but only takes a second to regain her composure. Nodding her pretty little head, she satisfies Julian's question, which prompts El Guapo to turn back to their uninvited guest. Spencer, however, takes control of the situation, as he's getting paid to do so.
Spencer Burke: Congratulations on your win tonight, Julian. What's next for The Spanish Sweetheart?
Julian lets out a loud laugh before patting Spencer on the back. He places both hands on his hips and heaves a sigh, all while Maria looks on with crimson on her cheeks.
Julian Tijerina: It's...Julian, Spencer.
Hoo-lyan. Say it with me:
hoo-lyan.
Spencer flashes The Spanish Sweetheart with a stare of confusion. Despite that, he decides to play along.
Spencer Burke:
Jew-lyen?
Julian shakes his head, disappointment showing on his guapo face.
Julian Tijerina:
Hoo-lyan. Not
Jew-lyen.
Hoo-lyan. Like an owl.
Spencer just stares at Julian. His mouth is open, as if trying his best to mimic Julian's pronunciation of his name. Nothing is coming out of it, though, as the interviewer is somewhat afraid to continue embarrassing himself for nothing. Julian realizes this and shakes his head. He keeps his grin and overall positive attitude, however.
Julian Tijerina: Never mind. But
gracias for the congratulations. I did win tonight, didn't I? I beat LJ Summers, a giant Australian man who's more muscle than, well, man. I was actually worried at first. I mean, he did resemble a god, a myth, but then again, I am El Guapo so...
Julian turns to Maria and laughs with her. She flicks a strand of stray red hair from her face, placing it neatly behind her ear. El Guapo likes what he sees and winks at Maria who blushes in return. If her beauty wasn't that prominent, she'd have resembled a humanoid tomato right then and there. Spencer wasn't reading the moment, however.
Spencer Burke: Well, to be fair, LJ Summers did get distracted by John Blade and you did smash his head against the steel ring post...
Spencer is cut off by Julian walking towards him, destroying the very concept of personal space, and putting a finger on his lips. Everything went by so fast, Spencer wasn't able to anything but widen his eyes beyond anything he's ever had to. Julian starts to move his finger from Spencer's lips and across his cheeks, all while the interviewer just stare him in the eyes, confused and startled at the same time.
Julian Tijerina: I like you, Spencer. You and I could be friends. I mean, you could dress better, but I wouldn't completely rule out the two of us being friends. You seem like you just get hung up on details, though. That's not a very attractive trait.
Julian lets out another laugh and walks away from Spencer. He takes his place beside Maria, wrapping an arm around her, and kissing her on the mouth. He turns to Spencer again, grinning.
Julian Tijerina: You asked me what's next for The Spanish Sweetheart? Well, I'm not sure myself, but I'm thinking, Annie Zellor? Salem Cartier? Those girls are beautiful.
Julian winks at Spencer before walking away with Maria. El Guapo wipes his finger, the same one he touched Spencer with, on his tights while Maria looks back at Spencer and blows him a teasing kiss. Once again, Spencer is left confused, shrugging at the camera.
