It was back at the hotel after the event had ended that Amanda tied her hair back into a messy bun and washed her makeup off… she looked through her duffel bag for her pajamas and it was seconds after that Finn noticed the agitated look on her face.
"That's the way he wants to play it, huh? Fucking man child." Amanda muttered before slipping her sandals and shorts off and reaching under her cami, unhooking her strapless bra and removing it… and Finn noticing that she didn't seem bothered one bit being in her satin red hiphugger panties and white cami with him just a few feet away.
"He's an idiot… pulling that. I don't know what he's trying to prove, that he's willing to steal your clothes to stop you knowing me?" Finn responded, finding himself, strangely in his mind, unable to keep his eyes off of her for more than a few seconds.
"He is and he's pulled worse… one thing he can't stop us from doing is unwinding." Amanda responded, finding the bottle of Crown Royal and two shot glasses before pouring some of the liquor into them and handing one to Finn. "Finally, you're on the main roster…" She said as they clinked the glasses and then downed the liquor. "And you haven't taken your eyes off me…" She whispered as she felt his hand resting on her left side after they set the glasses down and she closed the bottle and put it away, Amanda standing back up to her tiny height.
"Put him out of your mind tonight… you need to." Finn responded quietly, leaning in and his mouth crashing against Amanda's… they weren't gonna hold it back anymore, both were adults and could do whatever they wanted.
Amanda slipped Finn's shirt off over his head and unbuttoned his jeans after he slipped his shoes and socks off, the clothes disappearing into the somewhat darkened room and the radio on, Five To One by The Doors playing after he pulled Amanda's cami off and ran his fingers over her smooth skin.
Drowning out the noise to the others was their intention when they were fully naked… but heading back towards his room was Roman and he heard the music as well as a lamp crashing to the floor.
Roman smiled to himself before heading towards his room as the noises got louder, Roman finding Enzo.
"Lose something?" Roman asked.
"Misplaced a box of Trojan condoms, can't find them anywhere!" Enzo explained.
"Having plans, were ya?" Roman questioned, Enzo looking at him for a moment as he processed the joke.
"Shut your mouth." Enzo responded, Roman laughing. "Besides, it's better safe than sorry regardless."
"Yeah… that's what was on Mandy's and Finn's minds." Roman replied.
"Bullshit… you serious?" Enzo asked with a smirk.
"Add music into it as well." Roman answered.
At the same time, Seth heard the music on the floor above him and turned to see Dean walk in.
"Hell of a party up there." Dean said before glancing into Seth's duffel bag. "You stole Mandy's pajamas?!"
"Yeah, And? If she's an honest girl without any bit of slut in her, then she'll come looking for them before she even considers getting into the same bed as that Balor." Seth responded.
"Well, I'm gonna go crashing with Renee tonight… these pranks are getting old, Seth." Dean replied, grabbing his things and leaving as Seth rolled his eyes.
The music continued for a while as Seth tried to settle into sleep… but by that time, he was singing.
"This is the end… beautiful friend, the end. This is the end, my only friend, the end." Seth sang quietly minutes after the music stopped and he finally settled into sleep.
Upstairs, Amanda and Finn were in each other's arms, relaxed.
"Surprised no one barged in on us…" Amanda said quietly as Finn's left hand rested on her right hip.
"I don't doubt that someone heard us at least… and luckily it seems, someone with a decently respectful mind." Finn replied, a light kiss planting on Amanda's shoulder afterwards.
"Yeah… and that's always good…" Amanda responded before they kissed and fell asleep, exhaustion setting in.
The next morning, Seth rubbed his sleepy eyes and noticed a slightly blurred female figure holding the grey flannel shorts and assumed it to be Amanda.
"About damn time…" Seth muttered before his vision cleared and he saw that it was Aestrid.
"Yeah… it is." Aestrid responded before she reared and hit a hard kick against Seth's side, shoving him out of the bed and down to the floor.
"Ow, damn it!" Seth yelled as he stood up. "Ace, how the hell did you-" He said before seeing the room keycard in her right hand.
"Maybe I was wrong to think you weren't stupid as well as reckless… what the hell were you trying to prove, huh? Try and separate Mandy from him to protect her dignity as 'not a whore'?! Well… say and think what you want, but putting it blunt and brutal, you failed yourself." Aestrid responded.
"The music… you're fucking with me, right?!" Seth replied.
"They took Enzo's condoms to do it. Seems that you forcing her to be half naked in front of him… it only made them more heated for each other." Aestrid answered.
Seth muttered under his breath, Aestrid grabbing the pajamas.
"Think things through… and treat her better." Aestrid said before leaving. When the door closed, Seth flopped back onto the bed and looked out at the Massachusetts sky.
At the same time, Amanda opened her eyes when she heard her phone ringing and reached for it, seeing Vince's number.
"Mr. McMahon? What did you think of the draft lottery last night?" Amanda asked after she answered the call, Amanda not even trying to pull Finn's arms off of her… but Vince could hear Finn snoring in the background.
"Turned out much better than the one from five years ago… I'm gonna assume you know about the class action lawsuit though…" Vince answered.
"Was hoping it would've been dropped… just be careful, Kyros is a shark in that courtroom from what I've heard." Amanda replied, Vince letting out a light chuckle but he knew why Amanda was worried, Vince was nearly 71 now and showing signs that his age was catching up to him.
"I'm sure I'll be alright. I've met way worse people over the years." Vince replied.
"I know but it doesn't stop me from worrying about you. You treat me like I'm one of your grandchildren." Amanda said.
"I watched you grow up, Mandy… that's never gonna change but I'm gonna let you wake up fully." Vince responded.
"Tell the family I said hello. Love you, old friend." Amanda said quietly.
"Love you too, kiddo." Vince said before they hung up and Amanda set her phone down before turning to Finn, who lightly kissed her on her forehead.
"It was actually quiet last night… I thought we were dreaming." Amanda whispered before they kissed.
"Quite the realistic feeling dream, wouldn't you say?" Finn responded with a light chuckle. "Yeah… it was a perfect night."
"How every night should be." Amanda said before both heard two people in the hallway.
"Third room on the right… and he needs to grow up." Corey answered after Aestrid asked him where Finn and Amanda's room was.
"I'm gonna assume you just returned from the lobby and saw him down there?" Aestrid asked.
"Yep and he was livid. Last I heard, he was asking why John wasn't keeping an eye on Mandy." Corey explained, John walking over when he heard that.
"Because her feelings have picked a decent man is why. I've no reason to be… cautious about him." John responded.
"Then why in hell's name is Rollins going berserk?" Corey asked.
"At times, I think he was born crazy." John answered before knocking on the door. The door unlocked and opened, Finn having gotten redressed and Amanda covering herself before Aestrid set the pajamas on the chair.
"Returned and undamaged… though I'm good at sewing if there is any." Aestrid said.
"Thanks. Completely forgot about them last night." Amanda replied before Aestrid closed the door after walking into the hallway, Finn walking over and sitting down on the bed. "I thought John was gonna kill you." She whispered as Finn rested his hands on her face.
In the hotel bar, Seth had downed a little more of his Budweiser before he saw Emma.
"Drinking at eight thirty in the morning mate? What's happened now?" Emma asked.
"Amanda… I tried to get her to show that she isn't careless with Finn and she did the exact opposite… they banged the night away." Seth responded after a loud burp.
"As startling as it is, adults are gonna behave like that at times… drinking yourself senseless ain't gonna solve things." Emma replied, Seth seeing that she no longer had the diamond ring on her ring finger.
"You and Zack Ryder split? He's a fucking fool for letting you go." Seth said.
"It was the distance between him and me that was making things strained… so we ended it, no fighting involved." Emma responded, Seth handing her the third beer that was handed to him and the two drinking.
