Chapter 29
A scream was heard in the headset of every member of the production team. Dean had just won his first pay-per-view match ever since The Shield broke up and Emilia felt so happy and proud of him.
When Dean entered the backstage area, Emilia took her headset off and ran towards him. She jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Dean laughed and held her tightly. She kissed him in front of everyone and he kissed her back. He loved how comfortable she is now with them being affectionate in public together and he couldn't believe how she's able to be all over him when he's sweaty. She's changed so much - from being the timid Catholic to a vivacious vixen. Dean loved her just the same.
"You couldn't wait until I'm done taking a shower?"
Dean asked then chuckled. Emilia shook her head.
"Nope. Congratulations! You finally won a pay-per-view match."
"That I have. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Emilia grinned before slowly getting off of Dean. A camera man asked Dean to come with him so he could shoot a video of him for WWE's YouTube page. Dean agreed and petted Emilia's cheek before walking away with the camera man. Before returning to the production area, Emilia looked around the room. It was a mess - tables and chairs were knocked down and various objects were scattered all over the floor. The mess was a result of Dean's match against Luke Harper, which was a Chicago Street Fight. Emilia laughed before walking towards the production area.
After the interview, Dean went to the men's locker room to take a shower and change his clothes. When he was done, he put on a clean white t-shirt and a pair of jeans before slipping into his sturdy rubber shoes. He packed his stuff and got out of the men's locker room.
Dean leaned against the wall beside the buffet table which was placed near the production area. As he stared at his beautiful girlfriend from the other side of the room, Dean remembered how they made love for the first time two years ago when he won the United States Championship. The scene flashed behind his eyes and it was gone in just a second. He bit his bottom lip to suppress a smile and decided to distract himself by getting something to eat.
Because they have demanding jobs, Dean and Emilia were used to having long and stressful days. If they didn't have each other to hold at the end of the day, they'd surely crumble from the exhaustion and pressure. They were prepared for the worst, but so far, nor Renee nor Seth and The Authority had attempted anything to sabotage their relationship.
It was May and that night they were in Montreal. The crowd was energetic. Emilia tried to keep her face expressionless but she was having a hard time doing so because Dean has a match against Seth. She was sitting against a barricade, watching the match with wide eyes. She was out there near the ring instead of running things backstage because most of the crew that was with her were newly hired and she had been assigned to assist them.
When Dean won the match and turned the Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Payback into a Fatal Four Way, Emilia covered her mouth and clapped for him in her head. She thought it was about time he got in the hunt for the prestigious title.
After the show, Emilia took Dean to the nearest burger joint she could find because by the time the production crew had finished packing up, there was no more food left at the catering area. As Emilia ordered food for the two of them, Dean took pictures with fans who recognized him. After the third person who's walked up to him was done taking a selfie with him, he noticed that Emilia's phone was on the table and the screen was lit up. He took a peak at it and saw a picture of her and Seth together along with a message notification. Before he could examine it more, Emilia returned to their table with a tray full of food.
"I'm sooo hungry, I can't wait to stuff my face."
Dean laughed at her as he helped put down the tray. Emilia set her phone aside as she distributed the food. When she was done, she sat across Dean and did the sign of the cross before saying a short prayer. She grabbed the big burger from its basket and bit into it while Dean shoved a french fry into his mouth.
"When was the last time you talked to Seth?"
Dean asked. Emilia swallowed before answering him.
"Before tonight's show started."
"What did you two talk about?"
"I just gave him a brief description of tonight's venue and how the crew set everything up. Why?"
Dean shook his head as Emilia turned her burger around with her hands.
"Nothing."
It was clearly something to Emilia. She decided to let it go before taking another bite from her burger even if she noticed his jaw twitching and his forehead creasing. After what Dean told her, Emilia was now careful around Seth. She didn't wanted to do anything that could make Dean jealous, knowing that he's possessive of her.
The two of them ate in silence. Dean didn't want to think that Emilia was lying to him - he had to trust her because she's all he has aside from their son. But why did Seth text her?
Don't fuck it up, Dean.
Dean told himself as he stared at Emilia. She stared back at him as she chewed, and smirked even if her mouth was stuffed. And upon seeing that, Dean forgot about Seth's text message.
Author's note: Such a short chapter, ugh. Sorry! Anyway, I think WWE posted pictures on their website of babies dressed as WWE Superstars and guess what? There's a baby boy dressed as Dean Ambrose and when I saw it I was like, this could be Levi, hahaha. Thank you for all the follows, favorites, and reviews! - C xx
