If there was one thing Amanda Rose Cena hated, it was waiting for news about an injured friend.
Waiting in the backstage area of the Barclays Center, 26 year old Amanda shuffled her left foot back and forth. She also hoped Randy wasn't giving the doctors a hard time and hoped that he didn't have a concussion.
"Hey. There you are, little lass." Amanda heard, looked up and saw Finn Balor… the new WWE Universal Champion. "Any idea on how Randy is? Brock was like a wild animal out there." He says.
"No idea yet… I just hope he's not being stubborn!" Amanda says, loud enough for Randy to hear.
"Oh, ha fucking ha, princess!" Randy says from inside the medical room, Amanda shaking her head and snickering. Amanda yelped out in a startled manner, the tiny brunette looking… and realising that Finn had just tickled her, judging from the mischievous smirk on his face.
"Oh, really huh?" Amanda says as Finn walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, lightly brushing her tank top up a bit.
"Amanda, no one's too old for the tickle monster." Finn says before tickling Amanda, who couldn't hold in her laughter anymore.
Amanda turned back to look up at him and being ten inches shorter than Finn, looking up over her shoulder at him wasn't easy… but Finn saw that he had made her smile, Amanda's hazel brown eyes sparkling a bit like they did when she would smile.
"Everything alright out here?" Both heard, Amanda turning around to see Sami Zayn.
"Yeah… just playing around." Finn says, lightly tickling Amanda's sides again before letting her go as Randy walked out.
"You doing okay?" Amanda asks.
"Yeah, no concussion… you worry too much." Randy says, Amanda lightly hugging Sami and Finn before she and Randy leave.
Once they were out in the parking lot, Randy pulled Amanda aside.
"What happened when I was away from the ring? Amanda, are you attracted to Finn Balor?" Randy asks.
Amanda's face turned a light red… because she wasn't so sure herself. Finn could be very charming and Amanda thought of him as a good looking guy... but she's never had much luck with relationships.
"Ah, you like him!" Randy says in a teasing tone, Amanda lightly shoving him.
"Look, while you've been away, I've been lonely without you. You're my friend, Randy, and I missed you…" Amanda says.
"I missed you too. But it's good that you formed new friendships." Randy says, lightly hugging the tiny brunette.
The two let go, going to find John and Nikki's RV… but Amanda was still thinking about how one of those friendships could turn into more.
"Hey, there you two are! Look who decided to join us!" John says after he and his little sister hug, Amanda seeing Sami and Finn nearby.
Everyone sat down, Amanda next to Finn after getting two beers, handing one to Finn.
"A few hours of rest and relaxation… and then we get to entertain the fans again." Finn says, lightly resting his hand on Amanda's left thigh as they drank their beers, Amanda resting her hand on his hand.
"These fans are crazy… but I wouldn't change it for anything." Amanda says.
"You better not be getting handsy with my baby sister, champ!" John says.
"Shut that hole in your face, John!" Amanda says, Finn chuckling as well as John and Randy.
"He better be good to her." John says quietly, Nikki lightly nudging him.
"She's not a baby anymore, John." Nikki says.
"Yeah… but she'll always be my little sister." John says, carefully watching Amanda and Finn before lightly kissing Nikki.
