Yes I'm adding more chapters. I said I might and my muses are hitting me up hard for more J
Ashley's heart did a few flips before landing in her stomach. Dear Lord help me stand on my own, she thought when he let her go. He looked down at her and she looked up at him. It was like that sappy part in the movies, when the guy and girl finally get together and the sparks fly and the world goes black.
"Excuse me? Why are you kissing my daughter?" Her mother's voice brought them out of their fireworks.
He blinked and looked to the girl's left, sure enough a woman who looked like an older version of her was scowling at him. He took a step back and heard a voice he really knew Joe.
"What the hell?!" Now Joe was convinced his boy had lost his mind. "Jon!"
"Where are you staying?" He ignored her friend and Joe.
"The…uh…the Circus Circus." Regan stuttered out.
Jon gave her a quick peck on the cheek then ran off before she had time to think. The crowd around her was staring daggers as they had realized who was kissing her. The line ahead moved and her mother grabbed her arm.
"Would you like to explain?"
"Sure as soon as I know." She said laughing.
She had dreamed of that kiss for years never expecting it to happen. She was just a girl from Texas and die hard wrestling fan. They entered the will call section and got their marching orders and went to their front row seats. Regan was still having a hard time breathing she took deep breaths but that didn't seem to help. It was as if he had actually taken her breathe from her chest. The lights went up and the matches commenced but she didn't watch any her thoughts elsewhere.
His music cuing brought her to the real world his question forcing her to think. "What's your name?" He asked as he passed her seat.
He paused long enough for the answer. "Ashley."
He repeated it as he winked and jumped in the ring and once again the world flipped upside down. Whatever she had done to get this she hoped it was at least legal if not good. She took a drink of water as she stared at the man in the ring. He did his promo and the other guy came out, she went through the motions of a fan but really her mind stayed on him. After the matches they were escorted backstage to the meet and greet area. He was standing there a bottle of water in one hand.
"Hi. I'm Jon, by the way."
"You're still on the clock." She reminded him playfully.
"Oh right." He held out his hand. "Hi I'm Dean Ambrose."
She laughed. "Hi Dean I'm Ash."
"Wanna have dinner, tomorrow?" He said leaning in for a picture.
"I don't think that was in my VIP pack."
He smirked and licked his lips. "Well uh that's something they don't advertise."
"Room 2201 pick me up at eight." She walked off to meet up with her mom.
Later that day she was getting ready when her mom put two and two together. "So Dean Ambrose is the guy you're going out with tonight?"
"Yes. Jon." There was a knock on the door. "Oh shit I'm not dressed yet."
"I'll get it."
"Mom I love you but please don't say anything embarrassing."
"Oh Michell." Her mother chided her using her middle name. "Go finish up."
She heard him greet her mom and her mother invite him in. They chatted while she rushed to get dressed in the bathroom. She gave herself a once over and brushed through her hair again. She walked out with a smile on her face but her stomach was a ball of nerves. He stood up when he seen her.
"Ready?" She asked.
"It was nice talking to you." He told her mom. To her he said, "You look good."
"Thank you."
The lifted up red Chevy he led her too wasn't a rental as far as she could tell. And the smile on his face when he got behind the said it was his. She tried not to laugh but he looked so damn cute it was hard not to.
"What?" He asked starting the engine.
"Your baby?"
That signature smile placed itself on his face. "Yeah just got h…it back. Plus I don't get to drive her much."
"You are too adorable." They past her car on the way out of the garage. "That's my baby. Her name is actually Baby."
He looked at the gold Xterra she pointed to. "Cute. Fits you."
"I know right?" She relaxed against the seat. "Where are we going?"
Not that she actually cared she was just curios. He smirked and said something about a local place he'd stumbled on a few months back. It sounded great to her just to get away from all the tourists. They talked randomly neither going to the questions they both wanted to ask. He finally parked and she was actually shocked to find he wasn't as bad as a driver as everyone thought wasn't the best but not terrifying. They got out and walked to the red door. Music could be heard outside but it wasn't blaringly loud, and the girl at the door got the biggest smile on her face when she seen him.
"Back again?"
"Yeah didn't get to finish that beer." He said as he walked passed her.
"Come here often?" Ashley asked.
"Joe and I were just here, actually. But we were going to be late for the show so I really didn't get to finish my beer." Jon explained.
"Oh, makes sense to me." She said sitting in the back booth he led her to. "So eight months huh?"
"What?" He asked sliding closer to her in the circular booth.
"You said 'you'd been looking for me' when you kissed me. It's been about right months since I've gone to any match."
He smiled shyly. "Oh yeah trust me I know. I was actually surprised when I saw you."
"Oh yeah. Well lucky you I actually saved the money to come." She teased him.
"I am one lucky man then." Jon took a drink of the beer that the waitress had just brought him.
They ordered and talked about random stuff. When their food came it was barely touched. It wasn't nerves that kept them from eating it was the fact that they couldn't stop staring at each other. But the time they picked up their forks again it was cold. He laughed.
"At least you got that beer." She joked as he threw some money on the table.
"Let's get outta here."
As they started to walk away from the table he slid his arm around her shoulders. He was shocked to find she fit into his side perfectly and he smiled down at her. She looked up and he took the chance that she wouldn't beat the shit out of him and leaned in for a kiss. It was quick and sweet but left them both wanting something more.
"Where to now?" He asked when they were in his truck.
"I'm the tourist, remember? You tell me." She joked. He started driving away from the city. And after a few minutes of no signs she asked, "Okay where are you taking me?"
"Scared?" She seen his signature smirk in the light of the only car that passed them.
"I can handle myself, just wanted to know so I can get back." She laugh.
He just laughed as he drove father and farther out of the city. About an hour later they were at what she thought was a trail of some kind. He smiled as he jumped out of the cab. Ash followed him but not trusting a place she didn't know.
Jon shook his head. Coming around the truck he held out his hand. "I have a flash light if you want it. But the terrain is pretty flat."
She looked at their hands. "I'm fine."
"Good come on."
An hour or so later they were standing on top of mountain. He stepped up behind her and turned her to the right just as the entire strip lit up. Ash gasped and looked back at Jon the city lights reflected in his eyes which made her smile wider.
"This is amazing." She said turning back to the city. "I can't wait to move here even more."
"You want to live here?" Jon asked setting on a blanket he'd brought with them.
Ash set next to him. "Yep. We were here a few years ago. I fell in love with the people and the city. I decided then that I wanted to be here as much as possible." He caught her be surprise when he leaned into her, kissing her. When he raised his head she gasped for the breath he had not allowed her to take before he kissed her.
"What was that?" She asked breathlessly.
"I don't know." He admitted with a sweet smile.
"Okay then." Jon sighed almost frustrated. "What?"
"Nothing, really. It's just with you I'm totally at a loss for words."
She looked at him, her head cocked to the side. He thought he had it bad? She couldn't even breathe willingly when he spoke or when she looked at him. She laughed and confessed just that. He shared her life and laid back resting his head on his forearms.
"Well I say we have a problem." He said staring up at the sky.
She settled on her side beside him. "And what would that be?"
He rolled his head toward her. "I can only think straight when I'm kissing you."
"That's not a problem, Jon. That's a confession."
He rose up to his side and leaned into her. "Problem. Confession. What's the difference?"
He lowered his head and she met him half way. Jon put his hand on the back of her head then pushed forward with his body. She trusted him not to let her hit her head on the hard ground. After a few minutes he rose up and looked down at her his clear, baby blue eyes a little darker than before. The wind picked up a tad and blew her hair into her face. She removed her arms from around him and wiped it away from her face.
He looked at her with a deadly serious look that made her squirm a little. "What? What are you thinking?"
He set up. "Just wondering how far you'd actually let me go."
She smiled. "There is a down side to your brutal honesty, isn't there? And a little honesty of my own. I'm not sure I'd make you stop."
He stared at her almost in shock. "I'm sure you're that type of girl."
"I'm not. But, and at the risk of sounding cliché, I have thought about this for so damn long. It's like it's a dream. I'm in my favorite place with the guy of dreams. How could I say no?" Ashley said setting up too. "Oh my gosh look falling stars."
Jon looked up in time to see a massive amount of falling stars flying in the sky. He grabbed her and laughed as he fell to his back. They laid there, her head on his shoulder and her right hand over his heart. She woke up suddenly when there was a huge boom in the distance.
"Oh damn." Jon said yawning. "Damn pirate ship."
She laughed. "Pirates in the desert. Who'd have thought it? Ouch."
"Yeah sorry the ground gets hard after a while." He said stretching out is massive body. "Wanna get out of here?"
"Where to?"
They decided to drive around for a bit and then he'd drop her back at the hotel. After driving around the city until almost two am he parked in the loading zone of the Circus Circus. Jon turned toward her wanting to ask for her number. They sighed in unison as she opened the door.
"Will you stay the night with me?"
The look on his face when she turned said that hadn't been what he'd intended to say. "What?"
"Fuck it." He said almost completely to himself. "Will you stay the night with me? I'm off tomorrow and I really don't want to let you just yet."
"Um…what the hell? Yes I will." She jumped back into the cab and he took off.
