Aestrid had expected nothing less when she walked across the street and into Finn's apartment that morning, finding a passed out Enzo on the couch and a hungover Colin in the kitchen.
"Mornin, Ace." Colin greeted as he set up the coffee machine.
"Morning. They crashed out upstairs?" Aestrid questioned.
"Both were still a bit drunk so yep." Colin answered.
At the same time, Amanda was just opening her eyes… trying to move wasn't easy as she realised that Finn was holding her to his right side, refusing to let go.
Readjusting the Balor Club shirt she had thrown on last night, she lightly reached her right arm over and rested her hand on his left side. Finn reacted in his sleepy state by turning over to her and hugging her.
The embrace turned into Finn nuzzling his face into the part of Amanda where her neck and right shoulder met, Amanda letting out a small 'hmm' in response and arching her back a bit to get closer to him… the last time she had felt like this was back when she and Cody were first seeing each other.
But she didn't remember Cody or even Randy being a biter…
Amanda let out a sharp yelp and jumped off of the bed, Finn being startled into consciousness by it and sitting up… rubbing his eyes, he saw very thin trails of blood on Amanda's neck and turned horrified.
"Damn it! Mandy, I am so sorry, I swear I didn't mean it!" Finn apologised as he looked for a towel, finally finding one and pressing it to the wound. "You okay?!" He asked, his right hand resting on her upper back to hold her trembling body in place.
"Yeah… I'm okay…" Amanda managed to answer as her heart was still racing from the shock and the door was kicked open, Colin, Enzo and Aestrid running in.
"Uh…" Enzo starts to say, trying to put the words together.
"We'll be downstairs…" Colin said before gently tugging Enzo and Aestrid out of the room and closing the door behind him.
Amanda tilted her head to look up at Finn, him seeing that her face had turned a light scarlet.
"What the fuck, Finn? We've stayed by each others side at night before and you never once bit me!" Amanda whispered, feeling slightly embarrassed as Finn examined the wound in an attempt to avoid answering her. "Hey! We've got to talk about this!" She hissed, lightly swatting his right shoulder and him looking at her.
"And we will… when Enzo's not eavesdropping!" Finn said, the last part directed at Enzo as he knew Enzo had snuck back upstairs.
Enzo grumbled to himself as he walked back downstairs, Aestrid chuckling.
"Come on you, go stuff your gob and give them some moments of peace and privacy." Aestrid said, giving Enzo a light shove towards the direction of the dining room.
"He fucking bit her!" Enzo mutters, putting some pancakes on a plate.
It was a while before Finn and Amanda joined them downstairs, Amanda using a bandage to hide the mark and glancing at Finn.
"She was a fool, you're way too patient with her acting like she does, Finn." Amanda said quietly, Aestrid's head snapping up.
"Who?" Aestrid questioned.
"My ex… Aileen was upset when I asked her to leave Ireland with me. She felt like I was trying to abandon her by signing with the WWE." Finn said after a few seconds.
"Don't know what you've got til it's gone." Enzo said with a mouthful of food, swallowing it.
"And gone a bit…" Aestrid says, trailing off and finding a video on YouTube… she showed it to Finn and Amanda, who both turned red faced when Colin and Enzo saw that it was a video from last night at the bar. "Yeah… YouTube. In other words, a good sizeable section of, if not all of the world can see this."
"Hunter's gonna kill me…" Amanda mutters, Finn resting his left hand on her back. "I swore up and down that my wild child years were over and done with."
"Hey, I swore that I was done skating years ago. Yet I still kick around on boards made by the top designers and manufacturers, if anything more than I did before." Aestrid said.
"If Hunter's gonna kill anyone in a rage, he's gonna target-" Finn starts to say, cut off by the phone ringing.
But when Aestrid answered it, it wasn't Hunter.
"Hey, kid. Everyone okay over there?" Nathan asked.
"Just dealing with something unexpected, that's all." Aestrid answered.
"The video that's gone viral…" Nathan said, Amanda burying her face into Finn's left shoulder to muffle a scream and Finn holding her in his arms.
"Was that Mandy screaming, Ace?!" Sami asked in the background.
"Yes… does Hunter know about the video, has he seen it?" Aestrid questioned.
"Uh…" Sami said nervously. "They're trying to take it off WWE's social media accounts." He says after a few seconds.
"Yeah… we're dead." Amanda manages to say.
"No one's getting murdered, just stay calm." Finn said reassuringly.
"Getting murdered, that's usually my job." Aestrid muttered.
"She's most likely talking about the older ones who watched her grow up, they still see her as that kid." Nathan says.
"Oh.. well I wasn't." Aestrid replied.
Amanda headed into the kitchen, Finn knowing that she was gonna call Hunter… but from the look on her face, the call went straight to voicemail, Finn walking over.
"Yep… he's either in a meeting with the board or he pissed off." Amanda says after setting her phone down… but it rang loudly and she picked it up, seeing it was John and turning anxious now, sending him to voicemail.
"Hi, it's Mandy. Leave a message but don't yell."
"Mandy, pick up this damn phone right now! Are you out of your damn mind acting like that?!" John said angrily.
Thinking quickly, Amanda turned the phone back on sleep mode and Aestrid was chuckling nervously.
"Speaking of those on the warpath… anyone feel like calling in sick?" Amanda questioned.
"Forget sick, I'd more likely call in dying!" Aestrid said, a little quiet from the nerves.
"That ain't gonna cut it with them, Tiny." Colin says.
"Yeah…" Amanda muttered, looking up at Finn when his hands rested on her shoulders. "Any ideas?" She asked, trying to stay calm.
"Finding out how it ended up online. We can't hide forever, love." Finn answered, kissing Amanda on her forehead.
