AJ's pov

Butterflies. That's what I get whenever I'm around Dolph. Butterflies.

I am now dating the most amazing man on the face of the earth. A man who is so compassionate and sweet. A man who has this insane ability to make me smile whenever I'm down. A man who also happens to be extremely sexy.

I stretch out in the large bed after one of the best night's sleeps I've had in a long time. Dolph let me stay in his guest bedroom instead of paying for a hotel. Just another reason why he's incredibly amazing. Even though it was about 7 hours ago since we were in the pool together, my hair is still quite damp. A smile creeps on my face as I think about the kiss that we shared in there. He's such a good kisser.

Is that pancakes that I can smell? Is Dolph making breakfast? Oh my, this just gets even better. I grab a random t-shirt from my suitcase which happens to be Dolph's 'stealing the show' shirt and throw it over my body. As I make my way down to the kitchen to hopefully steal some delicious smelling pancakes, I notice a bunch of photo's in the hallway. Memories from all aspects of Dolph's life. There are a few pictures with Zack, some with his family, some cute childhood photos and then there are two pictures in particular that stand out to me. The first is a picture of him and Nikki, presumably on holiday. He has his arm around her and he looks so happy. Why does he still have photos of that witch? Don't get too worked up AJ, it probably doesn't mean anything.

The second photo that is hanging on the wall in a beautiful silver frame is a photo of me and him. A picture that I don't even remember being taken. I do remember the day that it was taken on though, and it was a pretty awesome day from what I can remember. It was just before we were taping the second episode of NXT season 3. Me, him and a few others were training in the ring. We both aren't looking towards the camera in this pic, but we're laughing as I had just had him in a headlock for about five minutes and he joked about almost being choked out. Ah, good times. It brings a genuine smile to my face to know he has this picture but still, why does he have that horrid woman on his wall now they're not together anymore?

I try to shake the image of him and Nikki all happy and together out of my mind as I trudge down his spiral staircase. The sight before me brings back familiar feelings that I felt last night. Butterflies.

Dolph is currently standing in the spacious kitchen cooking breakfast. Shirtless. The fangirl within me is having a field day right now. He notices me standing awkwardly on the stairs and smiles instantly.

"Hey babe, I made breakfast for you. Hope you're hungry."

Babe. Such a simple and generic word used by many people in modern day society. Yet it's a word that whenever it crosses this man's lips, it sends shivers down my spine. The fangirling gets worse as I realise that this is the first time he's ever called me babe when we're not in front of the cameras.

"I'm starving. It smells yummy by the way."

"Well you look pretty yummy in my t-shirt by the way." He says with a wink. He's such a tease.

I walk pretty swiftly towards the breakfast table and sit on the ivory chair. I can't seem to tear my eyes away from his perfectly chiselled body. What is wrong with me? I see this guy almost every night in nothing more than just trunks and yet at this moment he looks so damn good he should be arrested. I take a bite of the pancakes and holy crap, wow. He's a damn good cook. Is there anything this man can't do well?

"This is so good! Are you sure that you made it?"

He quickly turns around towards me with an extremely offended look on his face. "I am hurt by your words AJ! Pancakes are my specialty, of course they're good!"

"Okay, sorry. I think you're going to have to make me more pancakes in the future Ziggy."

He smiles at what I say and then finally takes a seat across from me.

"So I was thinking.. We had a pretty fantastic date last night, why don't we have another one today?"

I can't tell if he's happy that I mentioned the fact that I want to go on another date or if he's shocked that I wanted to go on one today. Damn, I hope I haven't scared him away.

"AJ I'd love to go on another date with you, it's just I have a day full of media and then we have raw tonight. There's not gonna be enough time I'm afraid."

"It's okay. It was just a thought anyway."

He leans across the table and gently places his hand under my chin. He moves his head closer to mine to leave a tender kiss on my lips.

"I do want to go on a second date with you though babe."

Today I've been so lonely. Shortly after breakfast I had to leave Dolph so he could go to his media day and I had to find literally anything to do. For the most of the day I've been training in the ring and hitting the gym. It's just not as fun when not that many people like you so you don't have anyone to go with.

I've been constantly thinking about how Dolph still has a picture of him and Nikki. It shouldn't bother me right? I mean he's clearly over her and he actually likes me. I don't know, it's just, if you break up with someone, aren't you supposed to remove the pictures of them? I can't shake this idea in the back of my mind that he may still have feelings for her. Well this sucks.

I'm stood by the titantron watching Chris Jericho make his way to the ring. The three of us are scheduled to go interrupt Chris and then an impromptu tag match will be made. The thing is, Where's Dolph?

Just as I wonder where Mr money in the bank has gotten too, his hand sneaks around my waist. At the slightest touch I can feel my body start to tingle.

"Hey gorgeous. You ready to steal the show with me?"

"As always. Even though you're going to lose the match tonight, I know you're going to put on an awesome show out there."

"I'll do my best. Hey look, you know how you said you wanted to go on a second date today?"

Oh did he have to remind me? I'm still kind of embarrassed about being the one to ask him. "Yeah, I remember. What of it?"

"Seeing as we're both the kind of people who don't get much sleep, how about we rent a room together and watch films for most of the night. I'll let you pick of course."

"Are you sure? What if you're too tired from your match?"

"Are you kidding? I spent fifty minutes in the rumble last night and still went out with you. I'll be more than okay to have a second date."

"Okay then. Watching films with you sounds great, but can I quickly ask you about something?"

"Sure babe. Anything you like."

There he goes again. Babe. He truly melts my heart. "I don't want to sound jealous or like a crazy obsessive girlfriend in any way, but this has been bugging me all day. Why do you still have a picture of you and Nikki on the wall in your house?" There. I said it. I hope he doesn't freak out on me seeing as we have a segment to do in a minute.

"Oh, that. I don't know I just have pictures of random moments that meant a lot to me." Meant a lot to him? So does she still mean a lot to him? "I was actually going to take it down because you know, I can't stand her anymore. I'm just not home much that's all, so I always forget."

"I'm not begging you to take it down you know, you can leave it there if you want I just thought it was pretty odd."

He stands directly in front of me and places his hands on my face. "I can tell what you're thinking AJ and you need to stop. I do not in any way shape or form still have feelings for Nikki. Okay?"

"Okay." Well that puts my mind at rest a little bit. Not completely though. "So we'll meet up after the show and have our second date."

"Yes and.." Big E walked up to us to stop our tender little moment. What a buzzkill. Dolph's theme starts to blare through the speakers of the arena and that marks our cue to go out and confront Jericho. Just before we walk through the curtain Dolph leans in close to whisper something in my ear. "and I can't wait."

Thanks for the kind reviews. They always put a smile on my face. You all rock!
