"Stay down, bitch!" Seth yelled after kicking the steel steps, having not heard the sickening sound echo from Amanda's thumb, index and middle fingers… but Finn did and within seconds, his rage took over and he was attacking Seth.
Seth fought back and picked Finn up, powerbombing him into the barricade and Amanda's eyes widened in horror as she heard Finn's right shoulder snap out of its socket and Finn saw the tears streaming silently down the petite brunette's face.
Finn relocated his shoulder and stood up, running at Seth and attacking him before tossing him into the ring. Turning to Amanda after running over, he pulled the steps away and relocated her fingers and thumb.
"Your shoulder…" Amanda whispered as Finn crouched down.
"Mandy, don't worry bout me… get those fingers and thumb checked." Finn whispered to her.
"After you go in there and kick his crazy ass." Amanda said, the two sharing a quick kiss before Finn ran into the ring and she stood up.
The ending was improvised but Finn was handed the championship and him and Amanda hugged… but when they walked into the backstage area, Hunter ran to them.
"Kids…" Hunter said.
"His right shoulder…" Amanda responded, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Her thumb, index and middle fingers on her right hand…" Finn replied, his left arm around Amanda's shoulders.
"How bad?" Hunter manages to ask… but the looks in their eyes spoke volumes, the two felt like they had fucked up out there and Hunter took his surrogate kids into his arms, all three hugging.
To them, everything seemed to move in slow motion after that… the two were holding each other in the trainer's room once they were alone, their foreheads pressed together.
"Deep breaths… it's okay, we've dealt with worse." Finn whispered as tears fell down Amanda's face.
She didn't react fast enough and he had gotten hurt… and now she was blaming herself.
"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry, I tried to stop him but he… he just got so angry…" Amanda said tearfully as she started to ramble, the tears falling faster.
Within seconds, Finn's left arm locked around her back… he pulled her in close to him and their lips crashed together, Amanda reciprocating the kiss and her fingers running through his hair.
Two years, they had been wondering what it would be like to kiss each other, to hold each other in a more intimate way than friendship… now that moment was here.
Amanda pulled Finn closer to her despite the body paint and they were pressed together, Finn letting out a lower growl as he was reacting favorably to having her body pressed to his.
But he was also sore as hell and she was in a highly charged state… some self control had to be shown.
Their kiss stopped, both regaining their breath as their lungs screamed for air.…
Finn's eyes snapped open, seeing that he was unharmed.
'It was just a bad dream…' He thought, stretching back out in the hotel bed and looking out at the Brooklyn skyline… he wasn't settling back into sleep though and the brunette next to him knew it.
"Finn?"
Finn turned, seeing Amanda's sleepy hazel eyes looking into his blue ones.
"Sorry I woke you…" Finn whispered as Amanda lightly ran her right hand along his left arm… they never minded sharing a bed, it was just a human need to want to be near someone when asleep.
"It's okay… I wasn't that deep into sleep anyway. I'm nervous about Summerslam too and that never really goes away… it's…" Amanda responded, trailing off.
"The ladder incident last year… hey, there won't be any weapons thrown at you. No matter how angry Seth gets, I won't let him hurt you." Finn said, his left hand resting on Amanda's right shoulder.
"It's not me I'm worried about him hurting… he's been angrier since returning in May and you being drafted to the Raw roster in July and-" Amanda responded, starting to ramble.
But Finn's left hand rested on the side of her face now and she tilted her head to look up at him… leaning in, Finn pressed his lips against Amanda's as he ran his hand up the back of her head now and his fingers ran through her hair.
Both of their pulses started to race as Finn pulled Amanda on top of him, his hands resting on her hips and about to pull her red cami off… but a fist banging against the wall cut them off.
"I appreciate the need to get hot and bothered but I have a championship to defend at the pay per view!" Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin yelled.
"Yeah! Whoever it is, either wait or go use the fucking elevator!" Maryse shouted.
Amanda covered her mouth with her right hand to muffle a snicker as she settled back into Finn's arms, lowering it and entwining it with Finn's left one before they kissed again… it was a much gentler one this time as both were feeling exhaustion set back in.
They closed their eyes afterwards, settling into sleep… and feeling much better.
