10/8/15, 12:35am...

"One down… now off with it, lass." Finn said with a slight smirk, Amanda setting the pool cue aside and looking at Finn.

"As you wish." Amanda responded with a small smirk, slowly slipping her tank top off over her head but she was still in her skinny jeans and motorcycle boots while Finn was down to just his jeans.

It had started out as a way to distract themselves from the chaos, the two had ended up at the Hideaway bar in downtown Orlando… one thing led to them drinking tequila shots, the tequila led to Finn suggesting that the two up the stakes in their usual night out.

Which had led to them in this, Amanda trying her hardest not to blush like a schoolgirl as she eyed Finn.

Crossfire by Stevie Ray Vaughan started to play from the jukebox as Amanda quickly composed herself before getting in another shot, the 4 ball shooting right into the side pocket.

"Your turn now, Balor." Amanda chuckled, Finn pulling his jeans off and kicking them aside which left him in his boxers before he got another shot in.

Amanda was out of her boots and socks as she once again quickly eyed Finn, absentmindedly biting on her lower lip and quickly pretending to focus on the game… but Finn noticed and smirked.

"Are you lappin' up some cheeky peeks, lassie?" Finn asked, emphasising his accent more than normal in a slight joking manner.

"I've… tried to be subtle about it…" Amanda manages to say, her voice partly stuck in her throat as she felt his right hand on her side. "It's… not easy to…"

"You don't make it easy either… to keep my hands off you." Finn whispered as he trailed his fingers up her side… before aiming the cue and pulling back, the 7 striped ball going into the corner pocket.

"Damn it, you don't play fair!" Amanda said, pouting slightly but removed her jeans anyway and doing so a little slowly as she knew that Finn would watch.

"Most times, I don't…" Finn whispered as he eyed Amanda up and down… he knew she was wearing the satin grey green push up bra and hiphugger panties just to get his blood running.

Lie To Me by Jonny Lang played on the jukebox as the door to the bar opened… and a chuckle distracted them, the two seeing Murphy and Alexa.

"Well it didn't take too long for you two to get each others clothes off… looks like Lexa was right." Murphy said.

"l don't see how it's any of your business, just a little dare is all… as for you, maybe you wouldn't be watching me like you are if your bitchy girlfriend wasn't so frigid." Amanda said, Alexa trying to slap her but Amanda caught her wrist and punched her.

Murphy and Finn were fighting as well after Finn had stopped Murphy from attacking Amanda… but then Murphy turned and bashed a bottle into Finn's head.

Amanda ran at the bar, jumped on its edge and Murphy screamed as he was tackled through a table.

"Lights out, fucker!" Amanda growled after she stood up when Murphy's eyes closed, Amanda running over and helping Finn up before seeing that he had a few cuts on him.

"I'm okay, Mandy…" Finn responded, handing Amanda's clothes to her as he shoved his own clothes back on…

Present time…

"Of course…" Hunter muttered as soon as he heard the strange mix of whispers and shouting at the WWE Performance Centre and stopped into the meeting room. "Hey, can you all get yourselves together and tell me what the hell is going on?! Bayley, no hair pulling and bitch slaps, kiddo." He said, Bayley reluctantly letting go of Alexa.

"They're overreacting, it's just a damn storyline!" Bayley explained.

"You're overreacting!" Alexa yelled before turning to her MacBook Pro and bringing up a clip from last week's NXT, playing it. "What do you call this?" She asked, Hunter seeing the clip was of Finn pulling on Amanda's hair as they walked down the ramp but not in a hurtful way and his teeth clipping the part where her neck and right shoulder are before the clip stopped.

"Scripted. Now I'm sure all of you who were on the roster back in 2006 and as well as fans of the WWE back then remember that the Kevin Thorn/Ariel storyline was similar to this." Hunter responded, most of the older wrestlers nodding in agreement. "Glenn, something on your mind, buddy?" He asked, Glenn Jacobs who was better known as Kane standing up.

"Look, I have no problem with this storyline or Finn being around Mandy… if one of my daughters brought a guy like him home, I'd be like any father would at first but accepting." Kane explained.

"Becky?" Hunter said after turning to her, Becky Lynch standing up.

"I've known Finn since I was 15, he's been like an older brother me and Mandy's turned into that kid sister role. As far as them working together and hanging around each other, I don't see anything wrong." Becky answered.

"They are too damn close for comfort and you know it!" Seth responded.

"Hey, just cause you don't like sharing Mandy with any of the other males in the company doesn't mean that there's any actual threat to her from Finn! And don't you dare bring that up because he's nothing like Randy or Cody!" Becky replied angrily.

"I was a young, stupid prick but at least I can admit it, Rollins!" Randy said.

In the main room of the Performance Centre, Amanda and Finn could hear the distant arguing become louder and Aestrid could hear it too as she walked in.

"Aw, damn it. Why do I have a feeling they set off Dad mode in there?" Amanda said, putting the barbells aside.

"Hunter's in that meeting room?" Aestrid asked.

"Yep. He's scary enough in that ring but piss him off about either his and Steph's family or their WWE family and he goes all papa bear." Amanda responded, trying her hardest not to laugh. "Get your fingers off my spine, Finn." She said, Finn lowering his left hand and lightly rubbing her sore right shoulder instead.

"You really should get this shoulder fixed up, lass." Finn responded, remembering how Amanda was sent flying into the barricade last week.

"I've had it checked, there's no damage to the rotator cuff or other muscles. Just aggravated the scar tissue damage from the old injury." Amanda said.

"Well that's good but you still need to take it easy." Finn responded as he lightly massaged Amanda's shoulders.

Amanda started to feel less tense… but she also thought back to the last time that things blurred.
