Chapter Three.

"I haven't heard much from you the last few days. since Tuesday everything good?" Paige asked as her and Dean sat together backstage at Raw.

"I'm good" Dean answered

Paige shot him a look

"Seriously Paige, I'm good" he repeated "I'm frustrated with this injury, but otherwise I'm good"

"Is that why you left the bar so early last week?" she asked

"just wasn't feeling it" Dean replied

"So, had nothing to do with Nikki and Randy?" she asked

Dean glared at her "Nikki and Randy? why would that have any effect on me"

"Don't try to play me Ambrose" Paige said

"I'm not playing you" He defended

"I saw you, the way you cringed at them being together, the way you look at her sometimes…" Paige trailed on

"You're delusional" he laughed it off

Paige raised an eyebrow to him "Dean Ambrose, how long have I known you?"

"Too long" he joked

"Eight years' you ass" she said kicking him under the table "I think after eight years, I know when you have your eyes on someone… especially because it doesn't happen very often"

"Nikki is hot, smoking hot, but that's as far as my thoughts on her go" Dean denied

"sure, well I'll be sure to be here to say I told you so" Paige smirked

"Why are we friends?" Dean asked

"Cause you love me you idiot"

Nikkis' POV

"How'd your date go last night?" Nattie asked Nikki as they stretched at the arena

"Great, we went to this cute restaurant Tarbell's" Nikki told her

"OH! Tyson and I have gone there, great food" Nattie said

"and even better wine" Nikki laughed

"Are you and Randy serious?" she asked

"No I wouldn't say that" Nikki told her "we've only had a few dates"

"Ah, Brie is under the impression you have a thing for Dean ever since he helped you out the other night" Nattie blabbed

"Dean? He's hot, doesn't come off as the dating type though" Nikki said

"You're probably right" Nattie agreed

"You're up next girls" a produce instructed them

The girls nodded. They were teaming with Brie to take on Aksana, Layla and AJ. Aksana of course, who she had plenty of personal problems with.

"Promise not to kill her?" Brie half joked

"nope" Nikki responded

"And making their way to the ring, Natalya and The Bella Twins" Justin Roberts announced

Deans POV

"Nikkis match is on" Paige said to dean as they sat with Cesaro, Seth and Roman.

Dean glared at her

"There's a monitor free over there" Cesaro pointed "Let's go watch"

Paige tugged at him

"Bries drop kick has gotten really good!" Roman noticed

"Has, Training with Bryan has really helped" Cesaro agreed

"Oh boy" Paige said out loud as Nikki and Askana were alone with each other in the ring

"what?" Seth asked

"Personal" Dean shared

"You know?" Paige asked him

"yeah, overhead it the night I Luke was giving her trouble and I gave her a ride to the hotel" Dean told them

"I think I heard a rumor" Cesaro chimed in "Didn't Nikki catch Luke with Askana while they were together?"

Paige nodded

"SHIT" she exclaimed

Everyone looked at the monitor as they showed the replay of Aksanas knee came down on Nikkis eye, stiff, hard and fast. Nikki could finish the match and get the pin on Aksana but it was clear she was in a lot of pain as the ladies tried to celebrate their victory. As soon as they got backstage Niki and brie headed straight to the trainer's room.

"Nattie" Paige called her over "is she okay?!"

"I don't' think so" she frowned "Aksana came down on her eye, hard. She's in a lot of pain"

"Where is he going?" Roman asked realizing Dean has snuck away and was half way down the hall

"I think I have an idea" she smirked

Dean almost didn't realize what he was doing until he realized he was headed straight to the trainer's room.
