Not too many things unnerved her, not with the life she lived... but this was one of them.
Amanda rarely felt any fear but the second she had found out about the storm, she took herself off of WWE's tour to help aid her injured boyfriend from hurricane Matthew's path.
The flight down to Miami had consisted of the two trying to lighten the mood by joking around like they always did, which had worked… but Finn knew from looking at her that Amanda was terrified.
"Best to stop listening to that." Finn says, shutting off the radio in the hotel room and cutting off the news report before snaking his arms around Amanda's waist, him wearing a pair of boxers and her in a white cami and stormy blue grey satin hiphugger panties with their hair slightly messy and Finn burrowing his face into Amanda's neck, lightly kissing it.
"Category 5… the last time one of those struck Florida directly…" Amanda says as she leaned against him, remembering what John had told her about hurricane Andrew since she was too young to remember it.
Her and her family had been on vacation then… and it had taken days to get back home after it obliterated the South Florida area.
Miami looked like a war zone afterwards and part of Amanda's mind was picturing it as the same, this hurricane was still too close to the coast… but Amanda reminded herself that the sunshine state had survived disasters before.
"We're safe here… the eye of the storm itself is slowly heading back towards the ocean, it won't happen again." Finn says, trying to ease his girlfriend's fears… it was working from what he could tell, she would've been a complete wreck if they had stayed in Orlando.
Calm was rare in situations like this, both knew that. Amanda turned around, stood up on her tiptoes and the two kissed when her arms were wrapped around him, Finn's right hand resting on Amanda's lower back and drifting a bit lower, Amanda letting out a slight yelp when he squeezed her ass.
"Damn you!" Amanda says as Finn laughed, the small brunette smiling despite trying not to and turning the radio back on as Lonely Is The Night by Billy Squier started to play.
"Made you smile at least." Finn says as they continued holding each other… and Amanda once again noticed the scar he had.
A part of her felt like she wouldn't entirely forgive Seth… she hadn't spoken to him since Summerslam when they argued backstage after the match and it got physical.
She wouldn't forgive herself for that, her and Seth had been friends for six years… she loved him to death, like her own family and he returned that sibling like love even if he went too far in protecting her at times.
But then Finn had walked into her life… and much like it was, it didn't take too long for Amanda and Finn to strike up a bond with each other.
One Seth didn't like, clearly… but neither knew how angry he truly was until the match.
Lightning and thunder sounded outside in time with the heavy rain after the two sat down on the unmade bed, Amanda jumping slightly and Finn lightly stroking her hair as he kept one arm around her back.
"Shh… it's okay, it's just a lot of noise." Finn whispered as Amanda noticed something… he was shaking too, although it wasn't as bad as she was.
"You've never been in a hurricane…" Amanda says as they looked at each other.
"Been caught in some hellish storms but hurricanes? Not once before this… you're right, it is damn scary." Finn says, his hands resting on Amanda's shoulders… right as the lights flickered for a few seconds.
Leaning in, Amanda pressed her mouth against Finn's and the two kissed again, their arms winding around each other again and bringing that sense of comfort to them as they fell onto the bed.
Their clothing was pulled off not too long after and they were getting lost in each other, the madness that had taken control of their lives since August fading away.
Lying there under the bedsheets and in each other's arms, the two were now content even as the storm raged on outside and had taken the power out with it.
Calm was a rarity… they wanted to enjoy it while it lasted.
