"To The Shield!" Seth called out, holding up his tequila shot in his hand. AJ, Dean, and Roman followed suit, touching each others shot glasses before pouring the sour liquid down their throats.
AJ and Roman screwed up their faces with disgust as the alcohol burned their throats, while Dean and Seth, who seemed unaffected, ordered more drinks.
"How do you feel about being in The Shield?" Roman asked, talking over the loud music. The four of them had gone for a drink at a local bar to celebrate their newest member. It was Seth's idea to do shots.
"Awesome." AJ replied with a huge smile, as Dean passed her another shot. She rolled her eyes and glanced at Roman as they both held theirs to their lips. In sync they drank their second shot with disgust, and slammed their glasses down on the table.
At that moment, a pair of pale hands covered Romans eyes, followed by a sweet "Guess who?". Paige was Roman's long term girlfriend, though it wasn't public knowledge. Paige had been offered the job of being the female member of The Shield before AJ, but she had rejected. She didn't want to mix business with pleasure.
Roman turned around, giving Paige a big kiss as he wrapped his arms around her. Awkwardly, AJ turned back to Seth and Dean, who were laughing about something that AJ had missed.
"Who fancies dancing?" The black widow suggested in an attempt to get the group together. They nodded in agreement, and the five of them headed to the dance floor.
The group began dancing together, all having a laugh and a bit of fun while they sipped on their alcoholic drinks. But it wasn't long until Paige and Roman had began to couple off, dancing closely and seductively.
AJ turned to speak to Seth, but the two-toned superstar had already began to flirt with a young blonde across the dance floor. She watched in amazement as the girl began to grind on Seth, before shockingly looking away. Turning to Dean, she raised her eyebrows and blew out a puff of air. He chuckled in reply.
"He uhh... he does that." He laughed, and AJ giggled a little, playing awkwardly with her hair. "Fancy another drink?" He asked, motioning to her empty glass. The brunette nodded and followed Ambrose to the bar, a little skip in her step. Taking her space next to him, she couldn't help but feel tiny in comparison to her partners. "Whisky on the rocks for me and uhh..." He turned to the black widow as he trailed off his sentence.
"Vodka coke?" She suggested to him, and he nodded towards the bar tender.
"And two more shots of tequila." He added, much to AJ's dismay. He smirked over at her as she rolled her deep brown eyes.
"You guys can really hold your liquor." She joked, though she couldn't understand why they didn't feel tipsy like herself.
"We're a lot bigger." He chuckled, handing her the two drinks. Downing his shot, he didn't even seem phased by the spirit, before he took a sip of his whisky. AJ hummed in response, and forced her third shot down her throat. She choked as the alcohol burned her throat, and Dean laughed at the brunette. "Slow down, trouble."
AJ looked up at him with a smile and began to sip on her vodka and coke. "You know, I never thought I'd be stood in a club, taking shots with cute Dean Ambrose." She slurred, leaning against the bar as she stared into her glass.
"Cute?" Dean scoffed, a smirk on his face. AJ immediately glanced up, her eyes wide. Had she really said that out loud? Her cheeks flushed red, and she glanced down in embarrassment, sipping again at her drink. "Most people think I'm unstable."
AJ's eyes flickered up to the United State's champion, as cocked her head to the side and smiled. "Me too." She sipped at her drink, holding her gaze with his beautiful blue eyes. Now it was his turn to turn away, a smirk across his lips.
Glancing over, AJ noticed Seth making out with the blonde from before. She felt somewhat protective over her boys, and didn't want Seth being taken advantage of.
Dean followed her stare and smirked a little. "He loves the attention." He told her, and AJ snapped her head back to look at Ambrose. "He barely ever takes them back to the hotel but..." He shrugged. AJ glanced back to Seth again as the blonde began to grind on him again, his hands exploring her body. "I don't see the attraction myself."
"She's pretty." AJ admitted, cocking her head to the side. Though she thought Seth could do better, the girl wasn't exactly ugly.
"I meant the whole different girl every night thing." He smirked. "But yeah, she's alright." He nodded in agreement, getting a little smile from AJ. "I prefer brunettes." He said, taking a sip of his drink as he failed to hide the smile on his face. AJ glanced up at him, watching him as he poured the cold glass against his lips. She couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but it gave her a warn feeling inside.
"I'm more of an... unstable kinda girl." She said, biting her lip as she smiled helplessly. His blue eyes met hers and he couldn't help but chuckle at her words, reaching up to brush his auburn hair out of his face.
