Dean looked at the door that closed behind Chrissy for a minute with a goofy smile before finally walking away. He was almost at the locker room when he heard a voice demand "Hey Ambrose! We need to talk." 'Great. Just what I need..' he thought before turning around to face the man who called out to him.

"Yeah." Dean said to Seth, who was jogging up to catch the blonde. "Where have you been? You didn't answer any of my calls this past week." the younger man said. "What, are you my girlfriend now?" Dean teased. "No but I was worried about your shoulder idiot." Seth responded. "It's doing better. Chrissy has been a big help." the older man said. "The new girl? How did that go?" the two-toned man asked. "Great. Actually we spent my days off together." the blonde answered. "Oh, it's like that. No wonder you didn't call me back." Seth said with a nudge. "It wasn't like that. She's a really great woman." Dean told him. "Wait a minute. Is the great Dean Ambrose getting feelings for someone?" the younger man teased. "Yeah." the blonde replied simply. Seth looked at his brother's serious expression and said "Holy shit. You are! That's great bro, I'm happy for you." "At least you are. I have a feeling Ziggler is gonna be pissy about it." Dean said as the two entered the locker room. "Why would he care?" the other man asked. "Because he's her best friend. Actually, he's pretty much her only family. Like you and Joe are for me." the blonde explained. "Oh. You think he's going to give you shit about it?" the two-toned man asked. "I know he is, but she's worth it." Dean told him. "Damn, you got it bad." Seth said. Before Dean could respond, there was a knock on the door from someone else who needed to talk to him. It wasn't going to be pleasant either, for either party.

Seth opened the door to find Dolph standing there anxiously and let him in. All three men knew exactly why the older man was there and didn't need to exchange pleasantries.

"I'm just gonna say it. If you hurt Chrissy in any way, shape, or form; I will kill you where you stand with no hesitation. If you're just looking for an easy piece of ass, keep looking. She is not here for your amusement, so if you're not serious about her, just leave her be. Chrissy has been through enough without an asshole like you breaking her heart. Got me?" Dolph said. "I got it, but I'm dead serious about her. I wouldn't have protected her like I have if I wasn't." Dean told him. "We'll see about that." the older man said in a mocking tone. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" the younger man asked angrily. "I know your reputation Ambrose. I've seen how you treat women and I refuse to let you do the same to her." Dolph exclaimed. "You don't know shit about me, so shut your fucking mouth." the younger blonde spat out. "I know enough. So watch your step because the first time you fuck up will be the last." the Show-Off said as he got into the other man's face. "Keep waiting for that moment because it isn't gonna happen. I'm falling in love with Chrissy and I would be a major fucking idiot to ruin that. If I didn't care about her, then she wouldn't have been sleeping in my bed without me making a pass. I respect her too much for that." Dean said as he tried to remain calm. He really didn't want to get into a fight with the older man since it would only upset Chrissy, but it was getting more and more difficult.

Dolph balled his fist up upon hearing that Chrissy slept in the same bed with Dean, and without warning, he threw it at the younger man and hit him right above the eye. The younger blonde staggered back and his jaw clenched as he tried not to react. "Get the fuck out of here before I forget that you're Chrissy's family and kick your ass. Now." Dean said. Dolph finally realized what he had done and left without another word. Seth swore under his breath when he saw that the other man was starting to bleed. "Jon, you need to see the doctor. You're bleeding." the younger man said. "I'll be fine." the older man insisted. "At least let Chrissy look. Okay?" Seth suggested. Dean nodded his agreement and headed back to the trainers room.

Chrissy was finishing up with Sheamus when Dean stepped inside the room. "Got a minute darlin'?" the blonde asked. "Sure." she said before turning to face the other man. The brunette gasped when she saw him bleeding from a cut above the eye. "What happened?" she asked as she made him sit on the exam table just vacated by the Irishman. "Ran into a doorway." Dean fibbed. Chrissy raised an eyebrow at him and knew he was lying to her. "Wanna try another excuse?" she asked. "Fine. It was Ziggler." he mumbled. "Nick did this?" the brunette asked quietly. "Yeah.." Dean admitted. "That asshole! Why would he hit you?" Chrissy exclaimed as she grew more upset. "We had a disagreement. It's no big." the blonde said as he tried to shrug it off. "It is a big deal! You didn't deserve this did you?" she asked. "No. Don't get mad at him, he was only looking out for you. I understand." Dean said as he pulled the brunette against his body. Chrissy put her arms around him and hugged the blonde before whispering "I'm sorry.." "Don't say you're sorry. It's not your fault and I would take the punch again and again for you." he assured her. "You would?" she asked. "Every day." the blonde replied.

Chrissy unburied her face from Dean's chest and looked into his blue eyes. She saw the look of adoration in them and it was almost overwhelming. 'Screw it..' she thought before doing something surprising. Chrissy leaned up and pressed her lips to his in a gentle kiss. It startled him, but after a few seconds, Dean returned it eagerly. She started to pull away, but he tangled his hand in her hair to stop her from doing so. Dean finally swiped his tongue along her lips and she quickly allowed him access. Chrissy moaned as it grew more and more heated as their tongues explored the other's mouth. A few minutes later, Dean reluctantly broke the passionate embrace and his hand stroked her cheek while they caught their breath.

"Wow.." she whispered in disbelief. Chrissy had never felt a kiss that passionate before in her life and it blew her mind. "No shit." Dean said in agreement. He knew from that one kiss that he was sunk, that even if he didn't want to fall in love with the brunette, it was too late. "I need to fix your cut." she said as she finally remembered the reason he was there. The blonde let her go to get what she needed to treat him. When she was done, Dean gave her a quick, yet tender kiss before leaving the room.

A couple of hours later, Chrissy was finally able to take a break. Instead of going to catering to possibly find Dean, the young woman instead went to find a certain someone that she needed to talk to. She found him coming out of the men's locker room and exclaimed "What the hell is your problem Nicholas?" 'Damn it. She's pissed..' Dolph cringed as he turned around to face the music.
