Present time, November 7th 2016…
Monday night finally rolled around and Amanda was adjusting her cropped black lace top.
Amanda readjusted her black leather ring shorts before pulling her leather jacket on and leaving it unzipped before she ruffled her curls a bit and sat down, pulling her socks on before pulling on her knee pads.
It was as she was tying her black ring boots that she heard a knock at the door and stood up, opening the door and letting Devan in.
"You holding up okay, Tiny?" Devan asked, Amanda nodding. "Be careful tonight… and try not to piss anyone off with the way you and Finn walk out there."
"We'll try." Amanda explained, absentmindedly smacking her glossed berry lips together before she and Devan hugged.
The two let go and Amanda headed to where Finn was, Finn smirking as he felt Amanda's arms wrap around him and turning to her, his arms wrapping around her before they kissed.
"Have some decency, there are others around here and some are small children!" Corey called out, covering his four year old daughter's eyes before Amanda zipped her leather jacket up.
"Daddy, why is she dressed like that?" Isabella asked, Corey picking the small blonde haired girl up into his arms.
The best way he could explain it was that Amanda was playing dress up, Isabella seeming less than satisfied with that but accepted her dad's explanation before heading off with Chris Jericho after he walked over.
"Let's go find Mommy, okay?" Chris asked, Isabella smiling brightly and glancing at Finn, mouthing 'Kiss Mandy again!'.
"Sorry, Corey." Amanda responded as the two hugged for a few seconds.
"It's alright, kiddo. She's just curious, that's all." Corey replied before heading back to the commentators table.
'Curiosity leads to trouble at times.' Amanda thought, hoping Isabella never ran into any ghosts.
When Raw was on, Becky Lynch waited patiently in the ring... before hearing No More Tears by Ozzy Osbourne play and seeing Amanda up on the stage, her jacket unzipped as Finn was behind her, his hands on her hips as she turned and gave a wicked smile at him.
As they walked down the ramp, Finn got onto his hands and knees before standing up and walking again… only this time, it was with Amanda on his shoulders.
"Whoa! If he ain't careful, she could fall!" Corey exclaimed, having not been told about this beforehand.
Amanda was stood on the ring apron before getting in the ring and turned, Finn already in the ring and pulling himself up to her by her legs, his hands gripping the waistband of her shorts as they kissed.
Seth was watching backstage and growled a bit as to him, it was in a rough and possessive manner.
And he was fuming about it, Devan seeing that Seth's eyes were narrowed after he walked over.
"Ain't we supposed to stay in the family friendly guidelines?!" Seth demanded.
"That's not the real reason you're fuming, Rollins." Devan replied, smirking as Seth glared at him.
Devan knew from that glare that he was right in some ways and he thought back.
January 22nd 2016, NXT Taping set to air March 2nd 2016…
Catching him was the easy part… but the way she turned around after a barely audible pain filled groan indicated to him that she had hurt her right side, Finn brushing his left hand against Amanda's ribcage as she looked up at him.
"I'm okay, get back in there and finish that match." Amanda whispered, Finn kissing her on her forehead before running in there and continuing the match with Rich Swann.
But Amanda noticed it, how aggressive Finn got with each move… she noticed his face turn a light red with anger.
Finn had hit the Coup De Grace, which was how he was supposed to finish the match… but he noticed that Amanda was still rubbing her right side and picked Rich up, hitting him with the 1916 DDT, pinning him before Amanda slid into the ring and the two hugged.
"Damn, man, all this over an accident?!" Rich managed to ask after Finn had won the match and the cameras weren't focused on them, him, Finn and Amanda all on their feet and Finn glaring at Swann before looking at Amanda, his glare melting into a concerned look.
"An bhfuil tu ceart go leor?" Finn asked as his hands cupped her face, Amanda nodding as their foreheads were pressed together.
If anything, she was more startled than in pain.
"Ta me ceart go leor." Amanda replied, her hands on his sides before the two hugged.
In the backstage area, Amanda managed to pull her Balor Club tank top off and Finn saw that her right side was bruising. He grabbed a nearby Ziploc bag and opened it, putting some ice in it before zipping it and lightly putting it on her injured ribs.
"Rich is one of our friends… he's not too happy right now." Amanda responded.
"It was an accident, yes. But you're hurting… and it angers me when you get hurt, Mandy." Finn replied, his left arm encircled around Amanda's waist to hold her up.
His hand rested on her waistline, the thumb of it lightly stroking her skin.
Amanda rarely saw Finn get so fired up that sometimes she forgot that he had a temper… she knew that he would calm down just as quickly and that gentleness of his would come back.
But only if she was around… the door opened and both heard "Really, Balor? Pawing at Tiny in your locker room? Save it for the bedroom!".
Finn put his jacket on Amanda and both turned, Finn seeing Devan and Amanda lowering her head to try to hide the light red coloring in her face.
"Hey, Devan…" Amanda mumbled, fumbling slightly with the zipper to try to hide her white satin and lace push up bra.
"Hey there… should I get on out of here or are you two up to drinking?" Devan replied, asking the last part which made Amanda look up at him in confusion.
"I thought you didn't drink." Amanda responded.
"Not normally but I did just sign with the company." Devan replied, Amanda turning surprised before the two hugged.
But she flinched slightly as his left hand absentmindedly brushed against her ribcage and the two let go.
"Sorry… that was a hell of a blow out there." Devan replied.
"It's okay." Amanda responded.
Finn and Amanda each got cleaned off and ready to go have fun…
