Hey guys, starting a new story that I have wanted to do for awhile. It will be a Paige/Ambrose story in the end and possibly other ships. Now this story is very Anti-Del Rio and some may see it as Anti-Renee, this is for the purposes of this story only. If you have any suggestions, feel free to pass them along but otherwise I hope you all enjoy.
Del Rio calls Paige Carino; it's Darling in spanish
Things were going good for Dean lately, he was the WWE champion, he was dating Renee and they had moved in together, and he actually liked the way his life was going. Things had never been this okay with him and it was a strange feeling. He walked down the hall drinking his water bottle when Renee ran up to him, the cameras following her.
"God damn show" he mumbled before she crashed into him with the biggest grin on her face.
"Dean! There you are, I was looking everywhere for you. I want to talk to you about something" she said as he nodded slightly
"We can do it later, I really don't want to do this right now" he said knowing that his privacy meant a lot to him and the fact that she had them on a reality show and had him reluctantly go along with him made him very uncomfortable.
"Come on Dean" she said slightly motioning to the cameras knowing that they were rolling.
"I have something I need to do, I'll talk to you later" he said walking away not looking back to see what Renee would do with the cameras on her.
He walked down the hall into the catering area where Seth and Roman were sitting eating their food and having a conversation about how their match was gonna end.
"What's up man? You look…. Down" Roman said taking a bite as Dean sighed sitting down.
"It's that stupid show, the damn cameras are everywhere and she wants me to do stupid shit for the show to make it seem like we aren't boring" he said as Seth started to laugh.
"Well she isn't boring, seems like she's using you for ratings though" he joked as Dean shook his head before looking around to take his mind off of Renee.
"I don't know how anyone else does it, she wants me to be crazy all the time. Like the other day she asked me to sing some random song while making breakfast because it's what the fans would expect I would do. I ended up not making breakfast, taking the dog, and going for a walk" he said as Roman looked concerned.
"Dude have you told her? I mean maybe she thinks you are as on board about this as she is" He said as Dean nodded repeatedly.
"I've told her over and over again that I'm not releasing my entire life out for the world to know. Yeah that show is there but I don't want them in the house while I'm in my pajamas feeding the dog" he said as Seth shrugged.
"Well maybe she doesn't get it. She seems like she's enjoying the attention this show has brought to her" he said before Dean put his head in his hands.
"Fuck I don't know" Dean said as there was a crash and all three of them looked over, Paige was on the ground the two plates she had dropped and Alberto Del Rio was behind her acting like it was her fault.
"Well at least you don't have to fake a relationship for the show" Seth said as they kept looking to see what would happen.
"What are you an idiot? Do you not know how to walk? What the fuck is wrong with you Paige?" Alberto yelled threateningly as the locker room went to move. Dean was up first knowing that his mother had gone through something similar with his father who he did not know. He refused to sit around while this happened to someone else in his life.
"Leave her alone" Dean said as Del Rio smirked at him surprised that Dean would be the one to stand up to him.
"Why? She is an idiot, a clumsy, fucking idiot" he said as Dean shook his head leaning down to check on Paige until he saw Seth and Roman coming close to check on her.
"What because she tripped carrying your shit? You didn't look too quick to help her carry everything." Dean said as Paige shook her head wishing that this hadn't gotten as much attention.
"Dean it's fine, really" she said as Del Rio shook his head looking insulted and ready to fight.
"No Carino, it's not okay that he didn't mind his own business" he said as Paige grabbed Dean's shoulder trying to pull him back before Del Rio hit him in the face. Dean snapped attacking Del Rio as Big Show and Kane pulled them apart with Triple H walking in
"What the hell is going on here?" he yelled out as everyone stopped in their tracks knowing that Hunter wouldn't let this happen.
"Ambrose, Del Rio in my office NOW" he said as Big Show and Kane walked them into the office making sure that they didn't kill each other on the way.
Once they had left, Paige looked up at Seth before biting her lip and looking like she was going to cry.
"Damn it" she mumbled finishing picking up what she could as Seth knelt down to help her.
"Paige, are you okay?" he asked as Roman moved next to him concerned in the change in Paige.
"Yes, I'm fine. He's going to be fired and it's my fault. He's going to make sure I know that and never forget it" She said moving around quickly to throw the stuff away and gather her bag that had fallen down on the ground.
"What do you mean make sure you know that?" Roman said looking at her with even more concern in his eyes.
"Nothing… okay I mean nothing by it. Thank you for helping me" she said quickly to the two before hurrying off. Once Paige was out of the area, Seth shook his head before looking over at Roman
"You don't think?" he said as Roman nodded with a sick look on his face. It was obvious with how Paige was acting that it was true.
"Yeah… I think so" he mumbled as Seth and Roman cleaned up their mess and made their way down the hall to Triple H's office to check on Dean.
"So what was that about?" Hunter asked Alberto and Dean who were sitting in front of him. Big Show and Kane were still in the room watching them to make sure nothing happened.
"Well Ambrose stuck his nose in my business where it doesn't belong" Del Rio started as Dean shook his head in denial.
"I was defending Paige. She dropped his plate and he yelled at her, he called her an idiot, he didn't help her at all. He acted like she was the problem" Dean said as Hunter looked over at Del Rio questioningly.
"Well she did drop my plate but I didn't call her an idiot" he said defensively as Hunter looked up at Big Show to get some semblance of the truth.
"He did call her an idiot, she looked pretty scared too, almost threatened" he said as Kane nodded in agreement.
"I was defending her. She doesn't deserve to be treated like shit. He was the one who tried to hit me Hunter, you know I don't just go around getting in trouble. I had to defend myself" Dean finished as Hunter took a deep breath trying to take everything in.
"I want to speak with these two and Paige then I'll get back to you both about punishments" he said as he dismissed everyone as Dean shook his head. He was the WWE champion and knowing his luck he wouldn't be for much longer. He walked down the hall before he was stopped by Zack Ryder.
"Dean thank you for doing that. I was going to… you know she's Emma's best friend and… I.. thank you" he said shaking Dean's hand as Dean accepted.
"She didn't deserve it and she looked terrified" he said as Zack stopped shaking his head knowing that he and Emma had discussed what was happening with those two and what Dean said confirmed it.
"Emma and I think something is going on, she seems depressed and scared constantly. We thought he… he was doing something" he said as Dean looked disgusted. They both didn't want to say it, they didn't want to think about him laying his hands on Paige.
"She needs to leave him and soon" he said before shaking Zack's hand one more time and walking down the hall to his dressing room. The second the door opened, Renee was there with the camera crew filming.
"Why did you do that?" she asked glaring at him with the cameras in his face. He should've known that she would do this.
"Renee I'm not going to talk about this right now. I'm not in the mood for this" he said knowing he didn't want to broadcast Paige's business without her permission especially if he was wrong.
"No we are talking about this now, ARE YOU SLEEPING WITH HER?!" she yelled as Dean looked shocked that she would even assume that. She and Paige were friends from what he knew.
"No I'm not sleeping with her! She needed help, Roman and Seth were with me the entire time" he said confused why she would even ask that.
"Well why didn't you mind your own business? I mean I'm sure she can handle it on her own" Renee asked as Dean sighed looking down
"Sorry I helped someone I've known for a long time and who you are supposedly friends with" he said as Renee shook her head in disbelief.
"I don't understand Dean, why would you risk the title? You know they can take your title away for this and you don't seem to care" she asked sitting next to him as he looked up shocked at what she was saying.
"What?" he asked not believing that he had heard her saying what she did. She was more concerned about him losing the title than Paige's safety or what he thought was the right thing to do.
"I mean you worked so hard for this and you are risking it for no reason" She explained calmly as Dean shook his head knowing that he couldn't sit there and listen to her any longer.
"I'm not going to listen to this shit" he said grabbing his bag and title before walking out of the locker room slamming the door behind him. He walked down the hall fuming before he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Renee I told you…." he said annoyed as he turned around quickly. He stopped himself seeing Paige looking up at him almost scared of his reaction.
"Oh… Sorry, I thought you were Renee" he said as Paige calmed down and smiled up at him.
"I don't have the cameras with me and they aren't around, I promise" she said as Dean nodded knowing that Paige probably wasn't filming or at least not after what had happened.
"I just want to thank you… he gets angry sometimes but he means well. He loves me and sometimes I think he just gets frustrated" She said looking down at the ground as Dean sighed to stop himself from getting angry with her.
"Listen, if you ever need anything, anything at all, text me. I know you have my number and stuff, I mean it" he said making sure she knew that she had someone to help her if she decided that she was done.
"Thank you Dean, I'll…. Keep that in mind" she said hugging him slightly before walking down the hall back to Del Rio's locker room.
Dean walked into Seth's locker room and sighed sitting his stuff down near the couch before flopping down on the couch.
"Hey…. what's going on" Seth said before looking down at his stuff in disbelief.
"Dude, really you have your own" he added as Dean sat down on the couch looking a mix of angry and annoyed.
"Well I walked out on Renee in there, she gave me the third degree and got it all on camera. She asked if I'm sleeping with Paige or something" he said as Seth laughed in response.
"Yeah you aren't sleeping with her, you wouldn't know what to do with that" he joked as Dean rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, I don't know what's going on with Renee & I and you have a private locker room" Dean said as Seth sat down next to him not knowing what to say but knowing he would have to let Dean stay.
"Alright, I guess you can stay. I mean you are having a rough night and shit" he said as Dean nodded before looking up at the ceiling with a loud sigh.
"I should've never asked her to move in, you know kicking her out is going to be rough" he said as Seth looked shocked. He didn't think things were that bad with Renee that he could consider kicking her out of the house.
"Woah… wait you mean you are actually leaving her? Like for good?" he said in disbelief as Dean nodded and shrugging softly.
"Well… I mean if this camera stuff doesn't stop, yeah she's gonna have to get out. I don't have the sanity for this shit" Dean said as Seth sat back almost in shock that he was saying this.
"If this is what you want and she makes you that angry then I guess you can kick her out. It is a pain in the ass though, I had to do that with two exes, not fun" Seth said as he got up moving into the bathroom to change into his ring gear for his match leaving Dean on the couch to think.
