Dean was bored out of his mind and was obviously never going to sleep. It was already morning, he decided to go for a walk. He pulled on his sweat pants, shoes, and jacket making sure he had his headphones on then headed out. The beach seemed like the place to go. He was in… With her long blonde hair up on a ponytail and feet buried in the sand the young wrestler look up at the rising sun with her head on her arms. Dean had finally arrived at his secret spot on the beach only to see someone was already there.

"Damn it."

He walked over anyway and decided to ignore the girl. Maybe she wouldn't talk to him anyway. No one ever did. Sighing to herself softly as she layed back just as someone sat by her. Looking over at him she sighed and looked back up at the sky. He leaned back and groaned, the ocean was calming him. The usual anger he felt was gone for the moment. He could feel himself relaxing completely,

''I didn't think anyone knew about this spot.''

He turned slightly, eying the girl by his side.

Angel smiled and looked over at him.

"I used to come by here when my job took me around here. I haven't been here in years. It's so pretty huh"

She stated looking back up at the sky but sat up and extended her hand

"Angel"

Dean nodded,

"It's very nice. I like to come out here a lot. Get away from everything for a while."

He extended his own hand shaking hers,

"Dean."

"It's very nice to meet you. It's very relaxing here. I hope you don't mind me hanging out in your spot"

She said with a smile. This is what she needed, interaction, because she knew she was close to closing out everyone again.

"It's very nice to meet you. It's very relaxing here. I hope you don't mind me hanging out in your spot"

She said with a smile. This is what she needed, interaction, because she knew she was close to closing out everyone again. He returned the smile, though it seemed strange to him. He hadn't smiled in what seemed like a long time.

"It's cool…I shut out people too much anyway. It'll do me some good to talk to someone other than my friend."

Seth was the only person who could stand talking to him even though he couldn't understand why, he appreciated it.

"I was actually feeling kind of miserable this morning. That's why I'm here."

Nodding softly folding her hands together and looking over at him.

"I wouldn't mind listening to you. From what I've been told I'm a good listener"

She stated hoping that the superstar would accept talking to her about things. Angel knew that they just met but somehow felt like he would be easy to talk to, and vise versa

"Honest to God, I have got nothing worth talking about. I drink beer, usually grumpy, and wrestle, that's about it. I'd rather you did the talking. Tell me about yourself. I'm sure you have better things to say than I do."

He leaned back on his arms looking up at the sky then shutting his eyes, listening to the ocean. He was hoping she'd be alright with the way he was. He wasn't good at these kinds of things but he wanted to be.. She just shrugged laying back down looking at the clouds.

"Me, nothing really. I'm just Angelina Love. Former TNA Knockout. All I do now, is wrestle independents and drink"

Angel hated how she was, but with no stable friends, why wouldn't she be. Taking a deep breath she looked over at him, then back at the sky. She knew that on the outside was a ruff and hard exterior, but inside was dying to talk to someone about it all.

Dean smiled, now this was his kind of girl. Wrestling and drinking, what a good combination. He turned to her,

"Well I like the sound of that."

He took a good look at her then turned back to look at over the water. He wrapped up his headphones around his phone shoving it into his jacket pocket. She smiled softly and looked to him

"I bought the club downtown for my dad a few years back. It's pretty cool."

Angelina sat back up again crossing her legs and turning to him.

"Tell me something about you."

She smiled softly and looked to him

"I bought the club downtown for my dad a few years back. It's pretty cool."

Angelina sat back up again crossing her legs and turning to him.

"Tell me something about you."

He sighed,

"What would you like to know?"

He paused for a moment trying to figure out something to say so she wouldn't lose interest completely.

"I really don't have anything other than I'm from Ohio, Cincinnati to be exact. I'm uh, twenty-seven and well I'm pretty much a boring guy."

He looked down at the sand around his feet. Nodding softly, she knew that wasn't all he had, but there was still time to get to know him. Over time he would start to trust her.

"You're in WWE correct?"

"Yeah, I sure am."

He formed a smile, looking at her again.

"I-uh, I was going to take off this jacket and lay back on it but I realized I don't have a shirt on underneath. Do you mind? I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything…because it's not like that at all. It's just getting kind of warm under here."

"Oh"

She laughed softly and shook her head. Of course yet again, she wasn't someone's type.. Angelina kept the smile upon her face though and nodded.

"Of course you can take your jacket off."
Looking up at the Shield member, he wasn't a bad guy as he seemed to make himself out to be. So far he wasn't too shabby at all. He took off his jacket and laid it down so he could lay back. He crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes. He was kind of sleepy now, having stayed up almost twenty-four hours now but he knew he couldn't fall asleep he had somewhere to be tonight.

"So what are your plans for today?"

She shrugged softly and looked over at him with a smile.

"May go get some drinks, may watch Smackdown. Not completely sure"

Angelina stated closing her eyes as well stretching a bit. He groaned, stretching himself to wake up.

"You should definitely watch Smackdown. It's going to be entertaining tonight."

He winked at her, not knowing if she knew much about The Shield. Their plans to make another statement had him excited.

"As long as you stop that annoying Cena and Rybitch, I am 1000000% okay with whatever you do"

She stated with a smile glacing over at the young star.

"But you're the shield. You, Seth and Reigns, no matter what will steal the show"

She stated mocking Ziggler, He laughed,

"Rybitch? Perfect. That will be his new name from now on!"

She'd mocked Dolph perfectly too and that made him smile even more. She proved him wrong, knowing about them made things easier for him to feel comfortable.

"Angelina..''

He turned on his side facing her,

"Why did you come out here by yourself? You don't seem like the loner type…like me."

"For a while I closed everyone out, because my ex shattered my heart."

She stated looking down.

"I don't talk to many people. Especially now that I'm no longer in TNA. I haven't seen Jamie or Madison in forever."

Angel shrugged softly and looked at him with sad eyes.

"I've been staying here for the past few weeks"

She admitted looking down at her feet in the sand. Angel just admitted to being homeless, a multitime women's champion was homeless and it made her sad. Dean didn't know whether he should comfort her or stay where he was,

"I'm sorry to hear that. Where have you been staying?"

He could remember a time when he was homeless and struggling, he shook the memories from his mind.

"The big tree"

She said with a small smile. Angel actually loved the tree. She really didn't know what to say next. She didn't even know why she told Dean, Angel didn't want him feeling sorry for her. She didn't want anyone to feel sorry for her.

"But no, biggie. I've done it before. Always surviving"

She stated with a shrug, He smiled,

"Seriously? Sounds better than what I had once upon a time ago…"

He paused, had he really just said that?

"Uh, so why the tree? Not judging or anything because I know what that's like but I know for a fact there are some real cheap apartments around here. I used to live in one before I was hired by WWE."

She looked down at her feet as she moved them from side to side.

"No work.. Which means no money. I have this phone cause of Ash. Which is amazing"

Angelina said as she tossed it in the air, and catching it as it fell back down. He watched her toss her phone and then as she caught it he smiled.

"A pretty woman like you can't get a job? What is wrong with the world?"

He'd hoped she'd smile again because it was a beautiful sight. Giggling softly, she smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"You are very nice to say that. But yeah, I've filled out an endless amount of applications. They either said I had too many tats, or my reputation was a little too hazy cause of the BPs, or they weren't hiring."

She stated. But she wasn't gonna let it get her down, well not in front of Dean at least. He touched his cheek where she'd kissed him, frozen for a minute.

"Uh, we-well if you ever need anything…"

He paused and smiled at her.

"You can call me."

He offered her his number, waiting to see how she would react. Hoping she wouldn't take it the wrong way. Smiling softly she handed her phone over to the young man to put his number in it.

"Also need a contact picture. You can take it with me"

She stated with a smile upon her face. Finally someone who she got along with. She smiled in the picture and then snapped another one real quick with her kissing his cheek. Angel giggled softly saving them both to her phone.

"Did you want one of those?"

The kiss on his cheek sent chills through his entire body, he had to take a deep breath just so he could speak.

"Actually I was wondering I could get a picture of just you for my phone.."

He smiled shyly at her hoping she'd say Yes.

Smiling and blushing the young woman nodded.

"Of course. Anything you want"

Angel stated softly, making sure her hair was alright. Putting on a smile for Dean ready for her picture

Dean was nervous as he focused his camera on her, she was beautiful. He took the picture and although it was blurry he saved it. He smiled and put his phone back into his pocket. He was staring at her quietly,

"Don't forget if you ever need anything…"

He paused still not able to tell her what he wanted to say.

Wrapping her arms Round the wrestler in a warm hug. In all honesty she needed somewhere to stay but she would never ever ask that. Angel liked dean and knew she would make sure she would stay in his life weither he liked it or not.

"I will call you, same with you"

It had been so long since he'd had a hug. He put his arms around her squeezing her tightly to him but then the feelings he was having scared him. "Sweetie I have to get going. I'm running on empty. I need some food and some sleep before tonight."

He held her at arms length and smiled,

"Call or text me..okay?"

Nodding softly the young woman smiled.

"Of course! And you know where to find me. If I'm not here I'm at the club don't the road"

Dean stood up and started to wipe the sand off of his body. He was staring at Angelina smiling. "Alright sweetie, it was nice meeting you. Really…" He lingered wondering if he should kiss her at least on the cheek but he still had no idea if she was feeling the way he was.

Thinking for a moment the young woman took a deep breath sanding to her feet.

"Hold on Dean"

Angel called out before getting in front of him and kissing his lips softly hoping he wouldn't reject her.

When she'd kissed him he wasn't expecting it. At first he didn't know what to do with his hands but then he placed his them on either side of her face kissing back. Her lips were so soft, he wanted more but he wasn't going to push it. After a moment he pulled away staring into her eyes. Without another word he turned to leave forgetting his jacket on the sand. He needed to get away, he was confused and scared of the feelings he was having for this woman.

Looking down at her feet she sighed feeling bad for doing what she did. She left like she made him uncomfortable. Looking around she picked up his jacket and folded it on her arm.

Walking over to her tree the young woman sat down and leaned on it and layed the jacket on her lap.

[text] you left your jacket. Sorry if I made you uncomftable… Wasnt my intention.

Dean was half way to his house by now when he'd read the text from Angel.

'Crap…I knew I shouldn't have run like that. Now she must think I'm some creep.'

He went inside and opened a beer chugging down as much as he could. He took a deep breath and replied.

[Text] No beautiful, I'm sorry it wasn't your fault. I just panicked. Please don't think you did anything wrong. Keep the jacket as a gift.

Taking a sigh of relief, the beautiful blonde thought for a moment before texting back.

[text] It'll keep me warm tonight! And take as much time as you need. I'll still be here. Wither you like it or not, you aren't gonna get rid of me

He smiled, not really sure why she was staying in a tree when she could have asked to crash at his place. He wasn't going to push it with her just yet because he felt it might have been too fast.

[Text] Who said I wanted to get rid of you? I really hope you stay warm tonight. I hate that you're out there freezing…

Angelina was one of those people who hated asking for anything. She would walk 10 miles to get somewhere instead of asking someone anything. That was just her.

[text] Don't worry. If it gets too cold I'll go to the club and hide out one of the offices. They let me stay there when it gets too cold.

Dean was backstage in the locker room area getting dressed in his Shield attire. Wondering if tonight would go as planned. He checked his phone to see if anyone had called or at least text him. 'Nothing…' He put his phone on the counter…

[Text]: You're gonna do great tonight.

Dean heard his phone buzz and turned to grab the it. He read a text from Angelina and smiled. He typed in his reply with a smile.

[Text] Thanks beautiful. I hope you're doing well, are you?

Smiling softly at his quick responce. Angel adjusted herself on the barstool and texted him back.

"Aw. Thanks! Your pretty handsome yourself! I'm just sitting at the club. I told them to change the tv in the lounge to Smackdown when it comes on :)"

He was grinning while he replied.

[Text] Now you're just being silly, I am not. Glad you'll be able to watch, I'm a bit nervous now.

His heart was beating fast at the thought of tonight. He had no idea what this feeling was..

Reading the reply she got up from her seat and walked to the lounge and sat on the sofa, smiling as she replied.

[text] aw, why is that? And I is not being silly ^_^ you haven't seen me silly :P

The young woman closed her phone after replying, looking up at the ceiling, closing her eyes and pressing the phone against her chest.
