The next morning Scarlett woke up to Dean kissing the back of her neck.
"Are you awake baby?" He asked.
She rolled over to face him. "I am now." They kissed.
"This is great."
"What?"
"Waking up with." "I forgot how nice it is." "Come here." He kissed her.
"Dean I have to pack."
"Ten minutes Scar."
"Ten minutes, that's all."
Fifteen minutes later Dean was walking Scarlett to the door.
"Wanna come over tonight?" Scarlett asked.
"Yeah." "I was gonna ask you if I could."
"I'll leave a key at the front desk for you."
"Ok."
"Now comes the part I hate, lying to Seth."
"I don't really care this time around."
"Dean."
"I don't." "I love you." "If he happens to find out one day and can't accept it, I don't care." "I care about you and being with you."
"I have to go."
"I'll see you tonight."
"I love you Dean." He smiled and kissed her.
"Say that again."
"I love you Dean."
"I love you too Scarlett." They kissed. "Bye."
"Bye." She left.
Everyone went to Albany, New York. Later that night Scarlett was at the arena. She was in the hall and immediately felt guilty when she saw Seth limping toward her.
"Hi champ." Seth said.
"Hi." "How are you feeling?
"Good."
"Do you have a match tonight?"
"Yeah, i have my rematch against that jackass."
"Please be careful."
"I will."
She hugged him. "I love you."
"I love you too sis." "Are you ok?"
"Yeah."
Scarlett was walking down the hall towards the Women's Locker Room. She saw Dean down another hall. She went down it.
"Dean come here." She said.
He went over to her. "Hi."
"I need you to take it easy on Seth tonight."
"Scarlett." He said frustrated.
"I'm worried about his knee." "Please Dean, for me "
"I won't go after his knee."
"Thank you."
"I wouldn't do it for anybody else."
"I know." "I have to go."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Scarlett and a few others were standing around watching Seth and Dean's match in the back. Midway through the match Seth snapped and got a chair, hitting Dean's knee with it again and again.
"Seth stop, please stop." She thought. After a few more seconds she turned and walked away. Sasha noticed how upset she was and followed her.
"Scarlett are you ok?" Sasha asked.
"No."
"What's wrong?"
"Dean's my boyfriend again." She said quietly.
"When did that happen?"
"Last night, we slept together." "I just couldn't watch Seth do that to Dean."
Later that night Scarlett was in her hotel room. Dean walked through the door. She hopped up as soon as he did. He a plastic bag in his hand.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"Yeah but thanks to your brother my knee is fucking killing me."
"Is anything torn or dislocated?"
"No."
"What's in the bag?"
"Your favorite ice cream."
"You remembered my favorite ice cream?"
"Yeah."
Dean had been there about ten minutes. They were sitting on the couch eating ice cream. Scarlett's cell phone started to ring. Seth was calling. Dean got an angry look on his face.
"Hello?" She said. "I can't I'm busy." "Bayley and I are hanging out." "Ok, breakfast tomorrow." "Have a good night." "I love you too." "Bye." She hung up.
"Asshole." Dean said.
"Honey."
"What?" "You saw what he did to my knee."
"I know."
After they were done eating they laid down on the couch. She was laying on top of him. Her arms were around her waist. She looked at him.
"I'm not hurting your knee am I?" She asked.
"No I'm fine."
"I'm sorry Seth did that to you."
"It's not your fault."
"Anything I can do to make you feel better?"
"Yeah, don't move." He kissed her. "Being here with you makes me feel better."
"If only everyone else knew how sweet you were."
"No one ever will." "As far as everyone else knows I'm an emotionless bastard."
"Not to me."
"What am I to you?"
"The man I'm in love with." They kissed. She laid her head on his chest. They fell asleep.
