A/N: I own Persephone.

Thank you to Emmettluver2010 , Guest, and Yankees01 for the reviews and PMs. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

I smiled at Seth as he handed me a hot tea from Starbucks. I hadn't felt right in a few days since the nightclub incident. Seth hadn't let me out of his sight and while it was endearing... it was also smothering. Seth had told the upper management about what happened and they had issued a memo about being careful while out in cities. Renee had been sympathetic for all of a few hours before whining that she and Dean still weren't right.

"Thank you." I said and he kissed my forehead. He sat down with his coffee and smiled. I was working on the laptop to finish up Renee's schedule for the next two weeks. She was doing more in-ring interviews so I knew that she would want a new wardrobe so I schedule wardrobe time to figure all that out.

"Seth, we need a quick shoot." a production assistant said from the doorway to catering. He looked at me and I nodded. He really didn't like leaving me alone, but I wasn't afraid of anyone in catering. He quickly left and I continued on my work. Renee was out with Trinity for a Total Divas interview since we were in NYC, so I had quiet time. I was almost done when someone sat down.

"Done so quickly?" I asked and glanced up expecting to see Seth, but it was Dean.

"There is nothing quick about me." he quipped in a low voice. I quickly looked back down at the screen, knowing full well that I was beet red by now, and he smirked.

"Funny." I shot back as he ran his hand over his stubble.

"You know most people thank a man who saved them from bad things happening to them." he said and I looked at him with raised eyebrow.

"I would have sooner, but someone up and disappeared." I shot back and he smirked.

"Fine, you can make it up to me tonight. Guinness at the bar next to our hotel. See ya at 11, sweetheart." he said and left before I could say anything. I certainly would have protested that offer. I was starting to think that Dean just wanted to annoy me or pissed me off. We hadn't ever really gotten along, except the one night in my hotel room, and now it was like I was his personal joke of a friend.

The rest of the night went well. Renee was going out with Lana and Trinity. They were going to Instagram it so Paige could see it from her home since she had just gotten done with surgery. I had convinced Seth to go out with Kofi and E. They wanted him to come with and I promised him that I would be safe in our hotel room. I knew that I would be if I stayed in the hotel room, but curiosity got the best of me. I pulled my coat tighter around me as I walked out of the hotel. The bar was literally next door, and while it didn't look seedy, I knew that no other superstars would be there.

"I didn't think you would actually show up." a voice said as I walked past the small bar. I saw Dean smirking at me with two pints of Guinness. He picked them off the bar and motioned for me to follow him. He led us to a back booth that was very cozy... and I didn't really want to be that cozy right now.

He pushed the Guinness into my hand as he took a sip of his own. I took a sip and he smirked as he wiped some of the foam off my lip. I wasn't used to this and Seth was very touchy, so I wasn't sure how to react.

"Thank you, Dean , for saving me at the club that night. I have no idea how to you knew, but thanks." I finally said and he nodded.

"I didn't like having Seth thank me, but you are welcome." he said and I nodded. I knew that and Seth had tensions before, but I thought it had all disappeared. I had no idea that Dean could possibly be jealous of Seth.

"Are you and Seth still somewhat on the outs?" I blurted out and then shook my head.

"Don't... don't answer that." I said and he chuckled. I wasn't sure why, but Dean seemed more open tonight than he had been. I hope that didn't bite me in the ass since I had just asked that question. I hoped me would answer, but figured he would ignore it all together.

"I don't mind answering that... we aren't on the outs. I mean there is some contention, but that's it." he said and I nodded.

"I don't like that he is backed into everything." he admitted and I nodded. Seth had gotten pretty lucky when it came to the WWE.

"You will get your turn." I assured him and he chuckled.

"It's not about turns... he has things I want." he said and I nodded before looking at him and realized he was staring at me.

"I don't know what you mean... sorry." I said and downed more of my beer. I swear I had more in my glass a second ago. He shifted and now his face was inches away from mine.

"Yes, you do." he said as his nose brushed against my cheek. I froze because he had been this close before, but tonight he smelled so good.

"Sorry, Dean." I said and started to scoot away, but he caught me. I didn't want to cause a scene, but I wasn't sure what else could happen here. He was making me uncomfortable and he was much bigger than me.

"Persephone, you came here tonight... curiosity got to you and you just had to know what I wanted. I know that if you loathed me that much then you wouldn't have shown up." he whispered as he nuzzled the shell of my ear with his nose. I had no idea why, but what he was doing was doing something to me. I didn't want him to know that. I didn't want him to know anything, because now I wasn't sure of anything. I realized that a part of me wanted to be closer and a larger part wanted to be further away from him.

"I hear the change in your breathing, the small flush in your cheeks, and the fact that you haven't moved. You want to be near me. Seth just isn't doing it anymore, is he?" he asked and I quickly pulled away. He was smirking at me as I scrambled out of the small space he currently occupied. I needed fresh air and away from him. He was not going to do this to me. I threw a $5 on the table and walked out of the bar. I went straight to our room and locked the door. I couldn't believe that he had been right, but I wasn't about to tell him that he had been. I was with Seth and I was happy with him... Dean had nothing on me. He was with Renee and beside, I couldn't even stand him!

AN: What will happen?
