Britt stepped out of the salon after having her hair and make up done. She saw Ryback nearby. "I'm ready to head back up."
"Good. I have to join the others in setting things up. Paul agreed for you to go up to the hotel suite alone."
"Alright." She said as he nodded and walked away. She breathed a sigh of relief that she was alone now. She walked toward the elevator while trying to find her hotel room key. She wasn't watching what she was doing when she bumped into someone and in the process her purse fell on the floor dumping out the contents. "Oh I'm sorry. I wasn't watching what I was doing."
"That's okay." The stranger said to her. "Let me help you pick up your stuff."
"Thanks." She said as they both bent down to pick it up. "I should have been watching where I was going.'
"Well, yeah but I should have too." Dean laughed as he looked at her for the first time. He was taken back by how beautiful she was. "I'm Dean."
"Britt." She replied as she put everything back in her purse. "It's nice to meet you Dean."
"You too." He said as they both stood up. "So, are you in Vegas on business?"
"I live in Vegas well outside of Vegas." She replied. "What about you?"
"Business."
She smiled at the handsome stranger and then looked at her watch. "Well, I really should get to my hotel room. I have somewhere to be later and I still have to get ready."
"A date?" He asked a little disappointed.
"No, it's a business thing really. But I still have to look my best."
"I don't think you have to do to much work on that. You're beautiful."
She blushed when he said that. "Thank you but I did just come from the salon."
"Well, something tells me you're naturally beautiful. So I doubt the salon had to do much."
She smiled and blushed again. "Well, thank you for that. But I really should get upstairs. Maybe I will see you again."
"I certainly hope so." He said with a smile. She nodded and walked toward the elevator. He watched her walk away and hoped he would see her again.
She walked into the hotel and smiled. She wasn't expecting to meet someone in the lobby. She had been isolated in a way over the last two years. Only really coming into Vegas when there was a fight or for a supervised shopping trip. She checked the time. It was three hours before Paul would come and escort her to the fight.
Dean walked into the hotel suite of his boss. His mind still on the girl from the lobby. "Dean, get ready. We have to be there soon." Seth said to him.
"Right. Sorry." He replied and headed to get changed. He wasn't really looking forward to the fight. He hoped John would win his matches and make it to the final. Once he had changed, he joined the others in the main room and they all headed out. The fight was always held in an undisclosed location that they didn't know until right before the fight.
The car pulled up to the location and a valet opened the door. "Welcome Mr. Lawler." He said when he saw who it was.
"Thank you." Jerry said as he got out and his men followed. Each boss had an assigned seating section. Jerry took his seat with Dean on one side and Seth on the other. Jimmy and Jey were stationed right at the door. John was in a special area where all the fighters were.
"Jerry Lawler. Welcome." Vince said to him as he walked up.
"Thanks for the invite. I expect we will see some amazing fights tonight."
"I think so. Is your new fighter ready? It's been a while since you entered someone."
"I had to find the right one." Jerry replied. "Not everyone can replace Roman. He was the best. I don't think I will ever have another. But Cena is good. I have no doubt that he will perform well."
"We will see." Vince smiled and took his position in the center of the cage. "Welcome gentlemen. I would like to thank you all for coming tonight. We have an excited evening planned. Now, let's bring all our fighters out and they and you can see what they will be fighting for." Vince said as the door opened and all the fighters came in from the special location. They lined up and got ready to see not only the purse which was five hundred thousand dollars and they would see the girl that Heyman had chosen. Vince's associate brought a briefcase to him and Vince opened it. "This is what you are fighting for." He said as he showed each fighter the money. He smiled and closed it after the last one had seen it. "And for this." He said pointing to the other door as it opened it and Paul walked out with Britt. "Now let's get this fight started."
Dean looked at the girl and knew she was the one he met in the lobby. He couldn't believe she was the prize. He watched as she sat by Paul on the other side of the cage.
"First up, Dave Batista vs. Alexsander Rusev." Justin Roberts said as he announced the fighters.
Everyone looked at the cage as Dave and Alexsander stepped into the ring. The bell sounded and they both started punching each other. The room erupted with everyone rooted for their chosen fighter.
Dean watched the fight but he was really watching the girl across the ring. He couldn't understand how she got mixed up with this. And he didn't understand why he was so concerned with her. They had just met. He looked up as Dave made the final punch to Alexsander and was declared the winner.
"Winner Dave Batista of the McMahon Organization." Justin said as Dave's hand was raised in victory. He quickly left the cage as Alexsander was helped out. The next fight was up soon. "Next match, John Cena Vs. Antonio Cesaro."
Dean looked up as Jimmy came rushing over to Jerry. "We have a problem sir." He said to him.
"What?" Jerry asked.
"Cena can't fight. He's doubled over in pain."
"Damn it." Jerry said before turning to Dean. "You will have to fight in his place. I'm not losing this." Dean looked at him. "I know you don't want too but I need you too."
Dean sighed. "Alright." Dean said standing up. He hadn't fought in so long and he wasn't sure he would win but he owed it to Jerry to try. He headed to the back and got ready to take John's place.
Jerry watched as Dean entered the cage and Antonio did too. He hoped Dean won the match. His organization needed the win. The bell sounded and Dean and Cesaro started punching and fighting. Jerry held his breath as Dean took a few punches from Cesaro. It wasn't long before Dean came back and got Cesaro with a few punches. Dean threw one final punch and it knocked Cesaro out.
"Winner Dean Ambrose of the Lawler Organization." Justin said as Dean's hand was raised this time. Dean stepped out of the cage to get some water. He had just finished when he heard the ring announcer. "Now, the final match of the night." Justin said to the group. "Dean Ambrose of the Lawler Organization vs. Dave Batista of the McMahon Organization."
Everyone watched as Dean stepped in the cage followed by Batista. The bell rang and both men started throwing the punches. Jerry held his breath every time Batista got the upper hand on Dean. He wanted Dean to win. Batista threw another punch before Dean came back and started punching him. Dean threw the final punch and everyone grasped as Dave hit the mat out cold.
"Winner Dean Ambrose of the Lawler Organization." Justin announced.
Vince and Paul looked at each other and walked into the cage. "Congratulations Dean Ambrose." Vince said to him. "And for winning, the purse of five hundred thousand dollars and the company of the lovely Britt."
Britt stood up and walked into the cage with the briefcase. She was to present it to the winner. "Congratulations Mr. Ambrose." She said to him as she handed him the briefcase.
"Thank you." He said to her as he took the case. He knew Jerry would get a cut of it. He looked at Britt. He honestly wasn't sure how he felt about winning her. It was an unreal concept to him.
"Mr. Ambrose, you won the money and the night with Britt. There is a hotel suite in my hotel waiting for you to enjoy." Paul said to him. "Britt will be waiting for you in it."
Dean nodded and headed to shower and change. He handed the briefcase over to Jerry for him to take his cut. Now he would get the night with Britt and he was happy about that. Happy that no one else would get to be with her. He just felt overwhelming concern for her. And still didn't understand why.
