The next morning Amelia woke up. She showered and met Paige for breakfast in a café in the hotel.
"How are you today?" Paige asked.
"I've been thinking a lot today."
"About what?"
"Dean Ambrose asked me out last night."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"What did you say?"
"I said I wanted to think about it."
"What's there to think about?"
"I don't know I've been doing alright on my own." "I mean Dean's cute and everything but I just don't know if I wanna put myself back on the market." "Plus if I started dating someone that would take time away from babysitting Clara."
"Plus Dean isn't John." "Is he Amelia?" She said smiling.
"This has nothing to do with John."
"Come on just admit it." "You are holding out for him."
"No I am not." "This is about me and my free time and whether I wanna start dating again."
"That's what you say but what you mean is, what if you start dating Dean and John suddenly thaws."
"No."
"Yes."
"Paige this has nothing to do with John."
"I don't believe you."
"Why?"
"You're lying."
"No I'm not." "Other then a friend I do not like John."
"I think you're afraid."
"Of what?"
"That John would reject you."
"Paige John and I are friends."
"Whatever you say."
After breakfast Amelia packed her bags and got on a plane to Chicago. Later that evening Amelia was watching Clara for John. It was ten o' clock at night when he came back. Amelia was watching TV.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." "Everything go ok?"
"Yeah." John paid her and sat down beside her. "John can I get your opinion on something."
"Sure."
"Dean Ambrose." "What do you think of him?"
"He's a good guy."
"He asked me out last night I said I'd think about it."
"He asked you out?"
"Yeah." "I just." "I don't know if I wanna start dating again." "I'm happy with my life the way it is." "If I started dating someone that would cut into my time with Clara." "I don't know what to do." "Dean's a nice guy." "What do you think?"
"I think you should do whatever you think is right." "If you wanna go out with him go for it." "If you don't think you're ready then you shouldn't."
"I think I'll need to give it a little more thought." "If I ever do end up with a boyfriend we have to get you a girlfriend so we can double."
"Maybe."
The next night at the arena Amelia was standing by her workstation. John came walking passed in his new shirt.
"Nice shirt John." Amelia said.
"Thanks." "You should meet my designer." "She's awesome."
"Is she?"
"Yep."
"Good luck out there."
"Thanks."
When it was time for Amelia's break she went and found Dean.
"Hi Dean." She said.
"Hi."
"I've thought about what you asked and I'm sorry but I have to turn you down."
"Oh damn." "That sucks."
"I'm sorry." "I just don't wanna date anyone right now."
"Well if you ever change your mind let me know."
"I will."
