Smackdown Tapings

October 29, 2013

Tampa, FL

He had seen many things in his life, but what he was witnessing now was something he couldn't stand to watch. It had been months since everything was out in the open, but it still took some getting used to. He frowned as he continued to watch, wondering when this was going to stop. Things had to be done and at the rate this was going, they'd never finish.

"Still at it?" Roman asked as he walked up to Seth, standing next to him as Roman adjusted the tape on his hands.

"Mhm." Seth nodded as he tilted his head and continued to watch. "Is it going to be like this all the time?" he sulked.

Dean heard him and turned to face him, smirking. "Nobody told your weird self to watch us make out." He snorted as he kept an arm around Ally.

"Yeah, who does that?" she teased.

"Well you guys are out here in the open." Seth frowned. "…and like, you need air to breathe. All that kissing is not normal."

"We're a new couple. Get used to it." Dean smirked.

Yes, it had been a few months since their first date and many more followed over the months, but finally in July, Ally and Dean officially became a couple. At work, they were very professional and weren't too affectionate behind the scenes, not wanting to get in trouble. In the privacy of their locker room however, it was an entirely different story. It was three months into their relationship but they still acted like "newlyweds" in a sense. They couldn't stop from kissing one another, which in turn grossed out Seth. Roman was already used to it at this point, having to see them constantly in the locker room and while driving with them, but not Seth. He didn't think he ever would. It was all in good fun though. Seth, along with Roman, were glad that Ally and Dean were together and seemingly happy.

"Be nice." Ally laughed as she swatted Dean on his abs. "I'm sorry Seth, we'll cool it down." She said.

"Thank God." Seth sighed. "Now that you two have come up for air and we have Dean's attention, let's go." He told Dean.

Dean nodded and kissed Ally once more. "I'll catch you later."

She nodded after returning his kiss. "Have a good match guys."

"Don't we always, babygirl?" Roman smirked as she rolled her eyes and watched them walk away to head over to their entrance spot.

As soon as the guys left, Ally started walking over to catering. She was still working with the boys but had to fake an injury after being "speared" by Roman the week before. She didn't mind it because she was exhausted from all the media runs she did earlier, but she felt weird not going out there with them. Ally would be alright though, it was only for this week. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing and she smiled down, already knowing who it was.

"Hello my dear." She greeted.

"Hi Pumpkin!" Paige greeted cheerfully. "You're still coming on Thursday, right?"

Ally nodded, even though Paige couldn't see it. "We sure are. You know I love a good Halloween party, especially if you're throwing it."

"Ugh, don't remind me. I don't know why I volunteered myself. I have so much crap to get for the party but I hardly have the time."

"Woman, I said I would help you. I have to talk to Dean but I think we're planning on driving to Orlando tonight, so I can help you get stuff tomorrow if you want."

"That would be wonderful, but only if you're going to be in town."

"I'll let you know for sure, but most likely I'll be there tomorrow." Ally said.

"Sounds good." Paige said. "Did you decide on a costume yet?"

"Ugh, no." Ally chuckled. "Dean doesn't want to do any couple costumes, but I think I can change his mind."

"By giving him sex? You cheeky thing." Paige teased.

Ally chuckled and shook her head. "We haven't even gotten to that stage yet."

"Why not?"

"I just don't want to rush into it or force it. If we're in the mood or whatever and it's going to happen, then hey it'll happen."

"Pruuuuude."

"Shut up." Ally laughed. "I'm sorry I didn't sleep with him on my second date like you did with Seth." She teased.

"It's the CrossFit body, I'm telling you! Did I tell you he has the greatest hip dents? He's sensitive there too because when I was-"

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew." Ally groaned. "Stop please." She said as she continued walking down the hallway.

Since Ally was distracted by Paige's grossness, she wasn't paying attention to the people around her and didn't notice that John was coming her way. She realized it when she bumped into him and sighed to herself.

"Hey, let me call you back. Something's come up."

"Okay. You alright?"

"Yeah, I'll call you later." She said and before Paige could ask her anymore questions, she hung up.

"Paige?" John asked.

"None of your business." Ally said and moved to the side to walk around him.

"You're seriously still mad at me?"

"…are you seriously still asking me that? John, what you attempted to do was disgusting and I will never not be mad about it."

"Then why didn't you say anything to your boys? I've been waiting for them to rip me apart." He said.

Why didn't she say anything? Well for one, it wasn't to protect John that was for sure. She didn't say anything because she didn't want Dean, Seth or Roman to get in trouble. If they found out, she knew exactly how they would react and she didn't want that for them. They weren't even on the main roster for a year yet and if any drama happened, she knew they'd be punished. There was no way she would allow it.

"You don't need to know why I haven't said anything. Just know it wasn't to protect you. I would have gladly watched on as they beat you down, but they won't be. It's my business and I would appreciate it if you would just let me continue moving on with my day and pretending this never happened."

John snorted and rolled his eyes. "If you say so. I know why you haven't said anything and I get it. You don't want them knowing your feelings for me. I know though and it's okay, that's all that matter." He winked as he brushed some hair away from her face.

When she was about to respond, she heard another voice come from behind her.

"Is there a problem here?" She heard Seth ask.

John removed his hand and shook his head. "No, no problem at all." He said with a small smirk as Ally just glared at him. "I'm glad we had this talk, Allison. I'll see you around." John said as he nodded a goodbye to Seth, who was looking between the two and pushed past them to continue on down the hallway.

"What was that?" Seth asked.

Ally shook her head and shrugged it off. "It was nothing, just work stuff."

"Didn't look like work stuff with the way he was touching you."

"It was nothing, Seth. I promise."

"…he didn't do anything to you, right?"

Ally shook her head. "He didn't. I'm fine and I would love to forget this happened, so please don't mention this."

Seth thought she was acting strange and wouldn't question her about it anymore, however he would keep his eye on Cena a bit. Something wasn't right here.

"Anyway, you guys finished your match already?"

"We ended up not having a match, just attacked our opponent and that was it."

"So, the usual." She joked as she walked with Seth.

"Pretty much."

She snorted and they continued to talk about what the rest of their plans would be for tonight, along with Paige's upcoming Halloween party. As they walked into catering, she spotted Roman sitting at a table, already having a plate loaded with sushi and when she looked around for Dean, she found him. Only he wasn't alone. He was still in his ring gear and munching on some food while Nikki Bella was talking to him.

Ally never had a problem with them really, then again she never really spent much time around The Bellas, but something about Nikki rubbed her the wrong way. She had spoken to Brie from time to time, but they got along and she felt like if they hung around more, then maybe they could even become friends. Nikki though, no chance. She especially didn't like that ever since Nikki came back, she had been showing off her new….assets to whoever was around. Lately, it seemed to be that Dean was the one she liked to show off to and she knew that Dean and Ally were together. Ally didn't like that one bit.

"They're just talking." Seth said as he looked at Ally in amusement. It was funny seeing her get all jealous. He knew she was with the way she stood there with her arms crossed and a small frown on her face.

"I know." Ally said, putting on a smile. "It's all good." She lied, watching as Nikki tried to push her chest up closer to Dean, Dean not really acting interested.

"Clearly not. I smell jealousy in the aiiiiiir." Seth teased as Ally rolled her eyes and pinched his arm.

"And I smell the bleach in your hair. I'm going to get some food, I'll meet you at the table." She told him and walked off to get some food.

She didn't even glance over at Dean and Nikki anymore, just focused on loading her plate up with food. Nor did she want Dean to know she was even looking at them, he didn't need to know that Ally was viewing Nikki as some sort of threat.

After getting her food, she sat at the table with Seth and Roman, AJ joining them after. They talked for a bit until Dean came and took a seat next to Ally. "When did you get here?" he asked as Seth and Roman looked over at each other and tried not to laugh.

"Been here for a while." She answered as she ate a grape.

"Huh." He said as he shook his head and started to eat a chicken wing from his plate. "I didn't even see you walk in."

"Maybe you were too busy talking to Nikki." She shrugged as she finished her food and stood up. "I'm going to the locker room, I'll meet you guys in the parking lot later." Ally said as she grabbed her plate to throw out and then left, heading to the locker room.

Seth and Roman couldn't help but to let out a laugh as Dean sat there, looking very confused.

"Did I miss something?"

"Oh you poor thing." AJ sighed as she patted Dean on the shoulder. "She saw you talking to Nikki."

"…right." he said. "I still don't get it."

"Bro, she's jealous." Roman said.

"What the fuck for?" Dean asked. "Nikki came up to me talking about how she loved our work on screen."

"While pushing her boobs up and touching you." Seth added on.

"No she wasn't."

AJ sighed yet again. "You are so oblivious." She snorted. "While you may not have noticed, Ally certainly did and you just stood there and let it happen. Women get territorial with their men. Nikki knows you guys are together and she always seems to flirt with you whenever you're around, with or without Ally."

"She wasn't flirting." Dean shook his head, not getting this at all. "She was talking to me just like how you and Kaitlyn and all of Ally's other friends talk to me."

"I push up on you?" AJ asked, almost disgusted. "Because I know I would never and I barely have anything to push up against you." She said, earning a snicker from Seth. "We're her friends and we all get along, she knows we would never come on to you. Nikki is a flirty type and she knows this. Nikki doesn't care and doesn't really have any morals or shame on who or what she hits on."

"But why would Ally be upset? I don't like Nikki or care about her anyway. I'm with Ally because I want her."

"Then maybe you should tell her that." Roman said.

"This is so cute." Seth chuckled. "Ally is jealous and Dean is clueless. I wish you two would be like this more often and not make out all the time."

Dean threw a chicken wing at him and watched as it hit Seth in the eye, smirking at what happened. However, he had to make things right because he didn't want Ally to be upset. There was no reason to be jealous.

Paige's Condo

October 31, 2013

Orlando, FL

"So you just walked off and haven't brought it up since then?" Paige asked as Ally poured herself a drink.

"Nope." Ally said. "It was so stupid of me and I don't know why I let it bother me."

"Because it's Nikki?" Paige joked. "And because he's your man. I think any woman would get a little jealous when another woman tries to hit on their territory."

"He's not my territory." Ally snorted.

"But he's your boyfriend, your man, your babe, you bae, your muffin…"

"I get it." Ally interrupted.

"Right, sorry. So technically, he is your territory."

"I guess." Ally shrugged.

"I wouldn't worry about it though. We all know Nikki is a flirt and you said Dean looked like he was bored when she was talking to him, right?"

"Right." She nodded.

"So you're good. Dean only has eyes for you and he will always keep it that way. Especially since he knows I would kick his ass if he ever hurt you."

Ally let out a laugh and shook her head in amusement. "You're such a good friend, Morticia." She joked, referring to Paige's costume.

"That I know." She winked. "Now come along, we need to get our party on." Paige said as they walked out of the kitchen and went out to where the other guests were.

Paige headed straight over to where Seth was, handing him the beer she got for him. "Here you go, Gomez." She smirked as she kissed his cheek and he playfully kissed down her arm in response, earning a laugh from her.

And they thought Ally and Dean were gross as a couple.

Shaking her head in amusement and taking a sip of her drink, Ally watched on as the other guests enjoyed themselves, having fun on this holiday.

"I vant to suck your blood." She heard come from behind her as she felt somebody playfully bite at her neck.

"Dean." She giggled as she felt him wrap his arms around her waist from behind. "You know I'm Buffy tonight and I should totally attack you."

"You should but you won't because Buffy likes her some vampires." He smirked as he kissed her cheek.

"What a horrible Slayer." She joked.

Dean chuckled and tugged her closer to him. "Can I talk to you outside for a minute?"

She nodded and put her drink on top of the ledge above the fireplace, letting him lead her outside to the balcony, so they could have some privacy.

"Everything okay?" she asked.

"I should be asking you that." Dean said as he leaned against the balcony, turning to face her. "It has been brought to my attention that you may have been upset with me the other day."

She let out a sigh and shook her head. "It was stupid."

"I agree." He said with a nod, causing her to roll her eyes playfully. "But it obviously meant something if you were upset."

Ally didn't want to admit it but he was over here talking to her about it and she just wanted to squash this whole thing. "I was…jealous." She admitted. "I don't know why." She shook her head. "Well I do because Nikki is pretty much all over you and she knows we're together." Ally said. "I guess when I saw that you weren't paying any attention to me, I let it all get to my head." She sighed. "I'm sorry." She frowned.

Dean raised an eyebrow and shook his head, pulling her close to him. He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms around her. "Nah, you have nothing to be sorry about. I know if I were in your shoes, I'd react the same way."

Ally snorted. "You would kill."

"…okay, I would but I would be insanely jealous while doing so." He smirked as she let out a small laugh. "But you don't have to be jealous. I want you and with the way things are going, you're the going to be the only person I'll ever want." He told her as she smiled up at him. "And I know we're still fresh with this whole relationship thing but I don't give a fuck, you're what I want." He told her. "I may be oblivious and clueless when it comes to certain things, but I'm working on it. You just have to be patient with me because relationships are something I haven't really done before."

Ally nodded. "Well, we both need to work on things." She chuckled. "I'm just glad we talked about it because it was so dumb to make this an issue."

"No harm, no foul." He shrugged. "You just let me know if you ever feel like that again. I can't have my girl feeling like I don't pay her any attention or that I'm not interested."

"I promise I'll let you know if I ever feel a certain way."

"Good." He said as he leaned down to kiss her and then pulled away to get something from out of his pocket. "I got you something."

"Dean, you didn't have to." She shook her head with a smile.

"Eh, I wanted to." He told her, passing over her gift.

She held it in her hand, looking down as she saw that it was a necklace that had a pinky promise charm as the pendant.

"Surprisingly, Seth told me that I should get you something to show you how much you mean to me. I didn't think I needed to and figured I would tell you, but it didn't hurt." He said as he took the necklace and put it on her. "I guess it means that no matter what, we're stuck together and you're special to me. That I promise I'm not going to fuck this up between us." He told her with a small smile.

"Dean." She grinned as she touched the pendant and was just so touched. "Thank you." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss him. "You're so cute." She giggled.

"Ugh." He scoffed, jokingly. "I am not cute. Hot, handsome, cunning, sure. Cute? Gross."

"Shut up." She laughed as she kissed him again and he returned it, pulling her closer to him to deepen it.

"There you guys ar-OH MY EYES!" Seth groaned as the couple just paid him no mind and continued on with their kissing.

"Gomez, come on! Leave them alone." Paige laughed from inside, watching as Seth just frowned and walked back towards her.

"Yes, cara mia."

a/n: Seth, lol. Seems like he's a little suspicious of Cena, huh? Nothing against Nikki, I just needed some drama for the story before the big drama happens. Review? :)
