Amaya was in the bathroom finishing up. Roman was able to snag a ticket to Vegas with them. He also had to be the one to tell Dean that he was coming.
"Ready to go?", she asked.
He nodded and stood, grabbing their bags. Getting to the lobby, Dean was looking at something on his phone. He lifted his head and had to do a double take. His eyes on Roman.
"Surprise, I'm coming with you", he said.
Dean raised a brow.
"You'll need more hands to set up your place", Roman said, trying to ease the tension.
He was going to get an ear full from Dean once Amaya wasn't around or maybe a couple of angry text.
"I invited him, sorry. I didn't think it would be a problem. We are hanging out with your friends and I know you would never leave my side, but just a familiar face", she said.
"Why didn't you call Brie?", Dean asked.
"Brie and Seth were going to visit his family, remember", Amaya said.
"What about Nikki?", he asked.
"She and John were going to one of his movie premiers or something", Amaya said.
"Kaitlyn?", he offered.
"Her boyfriend proposed so they are on an engagement honeymoon, she called it", she said.
Roman smirked. Dean was trying to get her to spill the beans on their relationship. It wasn't working, Amaya looked up to Dean too much to tell him.
"Your sister and Punk?", he asked.
Amaya sighed.
"I said yes to helping you so I could get away from them, remember", Amaya said.
Dean nodded lightly.
"Is it a problem Dean?", Amaya asked.
"Its not a problem, he can help me lift the heavy stuff, because I don't feel like doing it", Dean said.
Roman caught that and he nodded. The heavy stuff was punishment. Amaya smiled at Dean and took his arm.
"Let's catch our flight", she said.
"April, we should really let her do this", Phil said, as he followed her and the manager around the empty apartment two doors down from them.
"She's busy helping Ambrose", she said, looking around the empty bedroom.
"Yeah, but you're worried she'll fall in love with Vegas and that's why you want to get this place for her", Phil said.
"One bedroom is good for her, right?", she asked, ignoring what he just said.
He rubbed his eyes.
"Its just her, yes?", the manager asked.
April nodded as they walked into the kitchen.
"She'll love this counter space, she likes baking", April said to the manager.
"She'll also love being able to look for her own place", Phil said.
"This is perfect for her. She's not a pack rat, so she doesn't need much room. The view is amazing, she can sit outside and look at the lights.", April said, once again, ignoring him.
The manager nodded and looked between them.
"I can hold it till she gets back next week. You guys have lived in this building for a while now. Bring her by to look at it", the manager said.
Phil was going to say that was a good idea, but April shook her head no.
"We'll take this one", she said.
The manager looked at Phil and back to April.
"Don't mind him, he's just the muscle", she said, before looking back around the place.
Phil shrugged and nodded at the manager. There was no talking her out of this. Amaya was going to be pissed.
Landing in Vegas, Roman and Amaya followed Dean towards the rental cars.
"Get in Yaya, we'll put the bags in the back", Dean said.
"Actually, I'm going to get a coffee real quick. You guys want one?", she asked.
They both nodded.
"I'll be right back", she said, already knowing how they take it.
Once she was far enough away, Dean turned towards Roman, who finished putting the bags in the back.
"Here it comes", he said.
"Are you crazy? You have to go home Roman. What is Valerie going to think?", Dean said, trying not to shout and attract attention.
"I actually told her that you asked me for help", he said.
Dean groaned and slammed the trunk shut.
"Roman, stop putting me in the middle. I don't want to be apart of this, this isn't right", Dean said.
"I've already told you Dean, I love Amaya. I want to be with her. I'm only with Val till after WrestleMania, then it's over.", Roman said.
"Then why can't you wait to be with Yaya till then?", Dean asked.
"Because I can't stay away from her, I need to be around her. I've told you this already", Roman said.
Dean noticed Amaya coming back. Someone stopped her to ask for a photo, he looked back at Roman.
"Don't let my friends catch you, because they all know you're engaged and the last thing I need is Valerie and everyone else thinking I'm okay with what you're doing", Dean said.
"Only behind closed doors", Roman said.
"And not my doors. You want to cheat, do it behind hotel doors and don't tell me either", Dean said.
Roman chuckled and nodded.
"Yes sir", Roman said.
Amaya smiled at them and handed them each their drinks.
"Yes, coffee", Dean said, before taking a drink.
He screamed a bit.
"Hot, damn that's hot", he said.
Amaya and Roman laughed.
"Let's go take a look at your place", Roman said.
Dean tossed him the keys and Roman caught them. Dean directed Roman where to go and where to park once they pulled into the apartment building.
"These look pretty neat from outside", Amaya said, as they got off the car.
"You still have a chance to change your mind and move in with me", Dean said.
"She's not moving in with you", Roman said, chuckling.
Dean raised a brow before going towards where his apartment was. Amaya placed her hand on Roman's back, rubbing softly.
"Did I answer for you too quickly?", he whispered.
She smiled up at him. He leaned down and kissed her.
"He's not looking", he whispered, before they continued to follow Dean.
Getting to the apartment, they walked in. It was a perfect size for Dean. He showed them both rooms and the kitchen. Roman placed his hands on Amaya's hips every chance he got. Dean noticed, but didn't want to embarrass Amaya.
"We should bring in your bedroom stuff first, one room at a time", Amaya said.
Dean and Roman nodded, agreeing.
"I have to go get the truck from the moving company. Roman", Dean said.
Roman nodded as Dean walked out.
"We'll be back soon. Should we stop to get something to eat?", he asked, one hand wrapped around her waist.
She nodded.
"To make or drive thru?", he asked.
"Dean's first night in his new place, let's make something", Amaya said.
Roman nodded and Dean walked back in. He let go of Amaya.
"I meant lets go now Rome", Dean said.
"I was just asking if she wanted us to bring something back for her or make dinner", Roman said.
"Oh, shrimp linguini. You told me about it the last time", Dean said.
"Okay, if you don't mind stopping and picking up what I need. Also a few other important things, like coffee and toilet paper and coffee", she said, repeating the word coffee.
Dean laughed and nodded.
"Sure thing Doll", Dean said.
She texted him what she would need as they left. Once again, she looked around his place. Her phone rang.
"I was just about to call you April", Amaya said.
"Sure you were", she said.
Amaya laughed softly.
"So, I did something", she said.
"What?", Amaya asked.
"I got you an apartment, surprise", April said.
Amaya was confused before she replayed April's words.
"What?", Amaya asked.
"I got you an apartment. There was one open here in the building. Its two doors down from us...", Amaya stopped her sister.
"April...", Amaya said.
"I know, you're welcome", April said.
"April, I, I can't deal with this right now", Amaya said, hanging up with her sister.
Amaya leaned back against the counter and crossed her arms over her chest. She wanted to look for apartments and go through each one, on her own. Sometimes it annoyed her that April wanted to do everything for her. She loved her sister and understood why she did it, but sometimes she wished she would back off just a little bit.
April tried to call her several times, she hit ignore on each one. Her sister probably realized that after the tenth attempt, that she wasn't going to answer, so she had Phil call.
"Hello", Amaya answered.
She knew her sister was listening in and was probably mumbling insults her way.
"Hey Smalls, how's Vegas?", he asked.
Small talk, yup, her sister was definitely listening.
"Its beautiful, no tall buildings covering nature. Dean's apartment is big", she said, mostly to get under her sister's skin.
Phil chuckled, letting her know that April said or did something.
"Listen I know that you aren't happy with her right now, but she loves you and she knows how busy you are. She just wanted to get a head start on it, I don't agree either, trust me. Ouch, April", Phil said.
Amaya laughed softly.
"I'm not going to lie to her", he whispered.
She smiled. If she wanted straight up honesty, she went to Phil.
"I understand where she's coming from, I do. Its why I didn't look for apartments outside of your apartment range or out of the state. I just wanted to experience looking for a place on my own, to see if I could do it. I'm so afraid of everything and everyone, I just, don't want to be afraid anymore", she said softly.
The other line was quiet.
"I can't count on you and my sister for the rest of my life. You guys can't put your lives on hold for me.", she said.
"What I'm about to say, isn't coming from your sister. Its me and I want you to listen to me Smalls. My life isn't on hold, you add to it Yaya. I will always be here for you, even if God forbid, your sister and I end up separated, you are more than welcome in my life. I will make time for you, I have your back, I will drop what I'm doing to be there for you, always", he said.
Amaya wiped at the tear that slipped down her cheek.
"And I know that you feel the same way. If I needed you or April needed you, you would drop everything to be there.", he said.
"I would", she said softly.
"We love you Smalls", her sister said.
"I love you guys too", Amaya said.
"Have fun, okay. We can talk about the apartment when you get here.", her sister said.
It sounded like she was crying too.
"Okay", Amaya said.
Once they hung up, she left her phone on the counter and walked out onto Dean's balcony. The sunset looked absolutely beautiful and she smiled. She noticed the moving truck pull in and Roman get out. He looked up and waved.
