8/13/15, NXT Taping set to air 8/19/15…
The lights flickered black and red, startling Kevin as the former NXT champion climbed halfway down the ladder… when the lights returned, he saw Finn on one turnbuckle and Amanda on the other.
He charged at Finn and a fight broke out, Kevin screaming out after Amanda jumped onto him and put him in a chokehold and falling to his left knee, his vision blurring after his attempts to get her off of him by grabbing her had failed and resulted in her biting his right hand.
Kevin shook himself back into awareness and slammed the small brunette into the sharp edge of the ladder, Amanda falling to the mat as Finn charged at Kevin.
The fight continued and Kevin fell after being dropkicked as Amanda picked herself up with Finn's help, Finn cradling Amanda's face in his hands.
"Grab the ladder." Amanda whispered, her and Finn doing so and charging at Kevin with it, the front of the ladder hitting the turnbuckle as Kevin ducked out of the ring and up the ramp.
With the ladder positioned closer to the ropes, the two climbed up it with a microphone in Amanda's right hand and Finn holding his NXT Championship before Amanda handed the microphone to him.
"At TakeOver, not only am I gonna beat you for the NXT Championship… I'm gonna kick your ass and shut your mouth!" Finn responded angrily before dropping the microphone and Amanda glancing at him.
Finn climbed down the ladder after a towel was handed to him and he helped Amanda down before he pressed the towel to her mouth, helping Amanda out of the ring and taking her to the backstage area, the two reaching the trainer's office.
Amanda wasn't talking and carefully helping her open her mouth, Finn quickly found out why.
"It's left behind in that ring… could've been worse though, nothing feels broken." Amanda managed to say, Finn reaching his right hand up and lightly rubbing the top of Amanda's head as Dr. Amann pulled on a pair of latex gloves and walked over before carefully opening Amanda's mouth.
"These things happen but I doubt it was accidental… gonna put you on antibiotics and prescribe painkillers as well but eventually to get that fixed, we're gonna have to put a post in there to put a new tooth in." Dr. Amann responded after putting gauze on the wound, Amanda holding it in place as Finn lightly rubbed his left hand up and down her back before wrapping his arm around her back and leaning her against him.
It could've been worse but it didn't lessen his anger towards Kevin.
At the same time, Kevin was in Hunter's office and Hunter was livid.
"Just because you have some problem with how she used to be doesn't give you the right to treat her like that! Mandy's a human being, you idiot!" Hunter yelled, Kevin looking at him after bandaging the bite on his hand.
"When she proves to me that she's even half decent, then I'll consider backing off! Until then, if you want me to stop… well then you're just gonna have to show me to the door. And how would the fans react to that, do you think?" Kevin growled in response.
"Now I'm starting to see why you left Ring Of Honor and through your claims of Cornette freezing your contract there." Hunter replied.
"And how would your father in law feel about Mandy, the so called golden girl of this company, fucking getting into bed with Finn and then flushes her career down the drain the moment she ends up pregnant?! It's gonna happen and she's gonna take this whole company down with her!" Kevin yelled before he left, not waiting for an answer from Hunter.
Hunter took the chance to close his eyes and try to calm his nerves, hoping to keep his blood pressure from going up too high.
But he felt like it wasn't helping…
Present time…
It was morning when Amanda opened her eyes, seeing that Finn was awake and him kissing her on the top of her head… they had spent the night at his apartment, having thought it was best to avoid all the loudness of a hotel and the paparazzi most likely gathering outside of it as it was just before 10 in the morning.
Not that they had avoided them as they left Full Sail University last night but it was an attempt at some privacy before NXT TakeOver Brooklyn and Summerslam, which were over a week away.
"Sleep okay, Darlin'?" Finn asked, Amanda nodding as they continued to hold each other.
It was later at Full Sail University when they were practicing their Demon & Mistress entrance for Summerslam that Amanda slipped, Finn catching her by wrapping his arms around her back.
"You okay there, Darlin'?" Finn asked, his right hand resting on the back of her left leg and left arm remaining wrapped around her back as her hands rested on his sides… her heart raced as he held her left leg up to his right hip, Amanda hearing Finn's heart beating quickly too.
And neither were sure if it was from the adrenaline or how close they were holding each other.
"Yeah… I'm okay." Amanda responded, her voice with a slight rasp to it.
But someone was watching from a distance… and took a picture before leaving.
