Earlier, 11/4/15...

"Damn, it's cold out here… your little face is turning red from the wind." Finn says, him and Amanda walking through the snowy streets after having gotten ready for the day and eaten breakfast.

"I'm no fan of cold weather… but it's beautiful here, Finn." Amanda says, her right arm linked with his left one as the two stopped at the top of a hill, their thick jackets blowing slightly in the wind and Amanda's black cable knit hat nearly falling off.

"I've spent the majority of my life here, lass… it is beautiful but it can get cold, come here." Finn says, wrapping his right arm around Amanda and pulling her into his arms for a hug.

Amanda rested her head on Finn's right shoulder as he kissed her on her forehead.

And because of them getting lost in the comforting embrace, the two were unaware of the paparazzo hidden nearby with the camera.

"We stay out here longer, we'll freeze… come on." Finn says as they let go, his left hand gently wrapped around Amanda's wrist as the two left.

Reaching the arena, Seth and Baron stopped the rental car and Seth checked the Irish Daily Star website… and his expression changed from calmed to angered, Baron seeing the photo of Amanda and Finn and the headline WWE Diva And NXT Rookie: Innocent Friendship Or Hidden Romance? and taking the phone out of Seth's hand before Seth crushed it.

"Let them explain the truth when you find them later, you know tabloids don't explain the full story." Baron says, Seth letting out a low growl but nodding in agreement.

At the arena later with her back taped up under her Balor Club tank top, Amanda made sure that everything was set out tonight for Seth's match against Kane when her tablet chimed and she picked it up, answering the video call.

"Still early enough over there, kiddo?" Tommy greeted, Amanda smiling with a slight chuckle… but Tommy's smile dropped off of his face when the ECW original saw her slightly swollen face. "Oh, damn… Seth?" He asks, Amanda nodding as she quickly pursed her matte nude lips together.

"And now I have to keep order in his match tonight…" Amanda says, trailing off slightly and Tommy knew why.

"Anything that happens that's out of your control, try not to beat yourself up for it, okay? Everything happens for a reason, Mandy… and I don't want to pry into it but are you and Finn seeing each other?" Tommy says, Amanda turning a bit confused.

Sent to her was a link and Amanda used the split screen feature to pull up the website, reading the article and comments… as she expected, most were from teen fangirls bashing her for it.

Amanda jumped slightly as she heard a knock at the door… only to turn when it opened and see Finn.

"Don't scream… I'm not in my Demon King persona yet, there was just… well, let's call it a minor mishap." Finn says, Amanda nearly laughing when she saw the paint splattered onto his arms before she turned back to Tommy.

"I better help him scrub that off. Call you later?" Amanda says.

"Stay safe, you two." Tommy says, the video call ending and Amanda setting the tablet down and guiding Finn towards the bench, Finn sitting down as Amanda disappeared, returning with soap and paper towels.

"Minor mishap, Finn?" Amanda asks as she carefully scrubbed the paint off of Finn's arms.

"Okay so Sasha and Becca... they might've drank one too many red bull energy drinks, found the paint and started throwing it at random people. And when I tried to settle the two down..." Finn says.

"You got caught in the crossfire. It happened to me once when I was helping Jeff with his bodypaint before a show only that was Hornswoggle and Rey Mysterio after one too many Monster energy drinks." Amanda says.

"From what you've said before, Shawn and Hunter are worse." Finn says, memories of the Spirit Squad being covered in green paint creeping into Amanda's mind and her laughing as she finished scrubbing the paint off and stood up so Finn could change his clothes, Amanda turning around with her eyes closed… but sneaking a small peek at him over her left shoulder.

There were times that she couldn't help but look at him… and then lightly twirl a strand of her hair after turning around quickly when he caught her watching.

"Naughty little lass." Finn says in a slightly teasing tone after he finished getting dressed and turned around, snaking his right arm around Amanda's shoulders and the left around her waist, letting his hand rest on her right hip before his fingers trailed up her side in a tickling manner and evoking a soft laugh from her.

Stepping back from the cracked open door and stopping the recording, Alexa saved the video and smirked evilly before heading to Seth's locker room.

She had overheard him saying earlier during a conversation with Roman that he needed more proof… and now she had it.

Present time…

"This the article?" Finn asked after finding Amanda's tablet and finding the article sent to her.

"Yep… and…" Amanda says, pulling up more tabloid articles on her phone… she was trying to hide it but Finn could see it was easily etched into her facial expression, the beginning of a migraine.

Both set the electronic devices down and Finn pulled Amanda onto the couch with him after she slipped her black stiletto heels off, his left arm wrapping around her slender shoulders and his right hand rubbing the back of her tensed up neck and head.

His fingers ran through her hair, lightly massaging her scalp… the Demon Mistress closed her eyes out of pure exhaustion and letting a sleepy yawn out, leaning against Finn.

Amanda gave into it and turned her small body onto her left side, closing her eyes and Finn kissed her on the right side of her head as his right arm now snaked around her waist.

"I don't blame ya one bit, love." Finn whispered, closing his tired eyes too.

Neither were in it for the fame… they both loved the industry and it turned into their livelihood.
