Nate and Abby arrived at the House of Blues Nate was talking to the bouncer and he walked them through a door that most of the people here were not going through. She looked at her brother who just nodded that it was all okay. The bouncer left them on the second floor there quite a few people up there mingling, but not as many that were upstairs. Nate had went to get them some drinks when she felt someone come up behind her Abby thought her brother was just back already. "What kind of drink did you bring me?" Abby asked.
"Well normally I like to get the woman's name before I get her a drink first."
Abby whipped her head around and her eyes widened, "Sorry, I thought you were someone else."
He smiled at her and questioned, "Ah so you're taken?"
She smiled and shook her head, "Not taken, here with my brother."
"Oh well in that case." He plopped down in one of the chairs across from her, "I'm Dean."
Abby smiled and spoke, "I know."
Dean narrowed his eyes at her and responded, "You seem to have me at a disadvantage you know me, but I still have yet to learn your name."
Abby smirked, "That is because I am having too much fun with you not knowing mine."
Dean pushed his tongue into his cheek as he locked onto her gaze and they just stared at one another before someone walked up and interrupted their little exchange. "Hey the show hasn't even started yet and you're already hitting on some pretty lady."
Abby arched an eyebrow, but didn't remove her gaze from Dean's. "Oh now you're really not learning my name if I am only one of the many you'll be having tonight."
Dean remarked, "If you tell me your name you could be the only one."
Abby gasped, "Really? I could be the only one. Wow what a life accomplishment."
The friend that walked up that Abby had yet to look at yet, laughed. "Wow I like her. Someone to keep you in your place."
Abby removed her gaze from Dean's and looked over at the friend and suddenly her face went white as a ghost which Dean caught. Seth smiled at her, but didn't noticed her expression because he was pulled away by someone else who joined the group.
"Abs I got you a Blue Moon." He placed the beer in front of her and spotted Seth. "Hey man."
Seth stated, "Hey Nate. Dean this is that guy I was telling you about in the gym."
Dean moved his gaze from whom he got a semi name out of Abs and looked up at the man Seth was talking to. He smirked, "So you are the one to put Seth's crossfit time to shame." Dean extended his hand to Nate. "Nice to meet you."
Nate shook his hand back and said, "Yeah back at you. Is my sister making nice?"
Dean smiled at her and he said, "She's playing hard to get with her name, but I'm assuming Abs is short for something and not just talking about your Abs."
Abby remarked, "I'm sure assuming has gotten you in nothing but trouble in the past and probably in your foreseeable future."
Dean laughed, "Oh you have captivated my attention, honey."
Abby rolled her eyes at him as they were joined by someone. Seth stated, "Roman come meet the woman that is giving Dean a run for his money."
There you have now Abby was in the company of all three members of The Shield. Roman smiled at her and spoke, "What's your name sweetie?"
Dean leaned back in his chair and stated, "Yeah you're not getting a name."
Abby smirked at him and looked up at Roman, "It's Abby."
Dean's mouth popped open while Nate and Seth were snickering behind them. "How come you told him?" Dean questioned.
"Because he is not looking to get into my pants" Abby remarked.
That caused Roman to let out a big ole laugh. "Baby girl is right. A woman knows and all you have to do is ask."
Dean exclaimed, "I did ask!" He glanced over at Abby and she was making this strange almost in awe face. He had to ask, "What's with the expression?"
Abby smiled and spoke, "It's always been my wish to hear Roman call me baby girl."
Dean groaned and the other three laughed. Roman stated, "Glad I could fulfill a wish tonight baby girl."
Dean replied, "Dude go get your own girl."
Abby's head snapped towards Dean and asked, "Who says that I am your girl?"
Dean replied, "I saw you first."
Abby scoffed while standing up and grabbing her beer. She looked at the guys around her, "I'm going to see who I can pick up you boys have fun." With that said Abby left the group of guys.
Dean watched her leave and he muttered, "Challenge accepted."
Seth hit him in the head and Dean gave him a dirty look, "You do know her brother is standing right here."
Dean looked up at Nate and Nate said, "Good luck." Dean smirked and got up and followed in the direction Abby took off in.
Roman asked, "You guys here for Wrestlemania?"
Nate answered, "Yeah my sister runs a blog and got offered a job opportunity, so this week is like an interview for her."
Seth questioned, "And you take pictures right?"
Nate replied, "Yeah I take the pictures and you have seen the sass she puts that into words and captivates her audience."
Roman laughed, "I imagine that she does. So does she have a workout skill that will wipe out Seth here also?"
Seth pushed Roman and Nate laughed, "She may be able to keep up with you, but she won't do what I did." They all laughed.
Meanwhile downstairs on the floor Abby was going to the people when someone grabbed her hand. "Hi aren't you a pretty little thing."
Abby rolled her eyes and spoke, "And aren't you a washed up wrestler whom is just the no good general manager now."
He smiled at her and said, "Oh! You know who I am great."
Abby replied, "Yeah I do and it's not going to help your case. I'm not interested."
He still held onto her hand and spoke, "Sweetheart I don't think you know the opportunity you are about to turn down. I could give you so many hook ups this weekend as long as you give me some hookups back."
Abby tried to pull back her hand and laughed, "I'm still not interested in any hook ups that would come from you. Besides I have my own hook ups."
Brad asked, "Please I bet it's some c plus player. I am so much more."
Abby questioned, "You want a hook up?" Brad nodded yes and he leaned closer and she grabbed his arm with both hands and twisting her body from the hold it held on her. Without any warning she twisted it behind the Brad's back and then used her legs to kick Brad's legs out from under him causing him to lay out flat on the floor. "Brad meet the floor, floor meet Brad. There's your hook up I hope you're very happy with one another."
She was very aware that she probably had the entire room's eyes on her now. She looked up seeing her brother and the two Shield members looking down at her. The Shield members were smiling at her. She looked at some of the people around her when a bouncer walked up and said, "I think it's time for you to go."
Abby didn't get a chance to say anything when the bouncer was ready to show her the way out. "She's actually with me. If you want to show someone out it should be this f plus player." Dean wrapped an arm around her shoulder and looked over at Brad who was on the floor groaning. The bouncer picked him up and they connected eyes. "I would say I am more of an A plus player don't you think Brad."
Brad didn't say much as he was escorted out of the building. Dean turned back to Abby and asked, "Want to go back upstairs? I think there are too many snakes down here."
Abby smiled and asked, "So then I will only have to deal with one?"
Dean smirked, "Honey, I am a hound of justice I am anything but a snake."
Abby smiled, "I will give you that one."
Dean placed his hand on her lower back and guided her back upstairs. Once appearing upstairs Roman asked, "You okay there baby girl?"
Abby smirked, "Of course just clearing the club of some trash."
Seth remarked, "Brad Maddox is definitely trash." The two of them looked at one another and Seth couldn't quite place it but there was a familiarity to her. "Have I met you at an event before?"
Abby shook her head no, "Nope I have never met you before tonight." Abby looked pass him and caught Nate's eyes. She looked back and said, "Excuse me I need a breath of air after all the excitement." Abby turned to head back down the stairs.
Dean and Roman both caught the little exchange that just happened and curiosity was up on both of them. Roman nodded to follow her, but Roman didn't need to do that he was already planning on following her. He found her outside sitting on a bench. He walked over sitting down beside her and asked, "Everything alright?"
Abby looked up at him and he looked genuinely concerned. She didn't answer right away, but then nodded while answering, "Yeah I'm fine. Things just got stuffy in there." She looked over at him and caught his expression. "You don't buy that do you?"
Dean smiled and remarked, "Nope." That right there set Abby off she started to crack up laughing. "That is a beautiful smile. It's growing on me."
Abby smiled and spoke, "Thank you."
Dean was taken back and stated, "Wow no smart ass remark back"
Abby replied, "Obviously you couldn't hold back the remark."
"It's in my nature." Dean stated. He stood up and offered a hand, "Come on."
Abby arched an eyebrow and asked, "Where?"
"Just trust me." He spoke.
She took his hand and followed him as he guided them through the French Quarter. Once they stop she turned and looked at him and asked, "Is this where you turn on the romance portion of the night to try to get me to stay the night?"
Dean chuckled, "No this is the part where I thought you could just use some time away from the chaos. Now are you coming on with me or not?" Dean climbed into the ferry and Abby followed in behind him.
Once the ferry ride got under way Abby realized they were being taken away from the crowds and the lights. Dean had been quiet since they got aboard. She turned and looked at him with a smile, "You're right this is nice."
Dean questioned, "Can I get that in writing that you said that?"
Abby laughed, "Don't wreck the moment."
Dean arched an eyebrow and puzzled, "You and I are having a moment?"
"Yes so don't be an ass and wreck it." Abby stated.
The silence flooded over them again until Dean asked, "So what's the deal with you and my brother?"
Abby questioned, "Your brother?"
Dean answered, "Seth." Abby looked away from him. "When he first showed up at the table you turned awfully white and then when he asked if he had met you before there was something between you and brother. Seth may have not caught it, but I did."
Abby noticed how even after stating all the suspicious events that have happened tonight he still didn't ask another question. She pressed her lips together. She looked back at him and asked, "So what exactly are you asking?"
Dean said, "You don't have to tell me anything, I'm just looking out for my brother."
Abby spoke, "I'm not looking to hurt him. I didn't even want to be here where he was tonight. Stupid Nate. I know I'm not making sense to you, but it's just personal. I just need some time."
Dean nodded and replied, "Take all the time in the world and if you don't want to tell me you don't have to. I just…"
Abby finished, "You're just looking out for your boy. I understand that." She paused for a moment. "Is that why you came after me?"
Dean shrugged and said, "Maybe a small part of it, but you're a challenge for me Abby. You're not giving in easily like most girls do. I'm not used to this…you intrigued me."
Abby smiled at him and remarked, "I plan on keeping you in check."
Dean arched an eyebrow and asked, "So you plan on keeping me around do you?"
Abby chuckled, "At least for this week. How does that sound to you?"
Dean answered, "Sounds good to me sweetheart." They smiled at one another.
