Chapter Six:

Brooklyn woke up to the sound of loud laughing. Groaning, she opened her eyes only to immediately shut them again.

"I shouldn't have drank" she said to herself. Slowly opening her eyes, she let them adjust to the light before getting up. Her head was pounding and the laughing was not helping. Going into the bathroom, she saw her make up was all smudged. She grabbed her make up wipes and cleaned her face before going to investigate the loud laughing.

"Hey, look who's up." All three men turned to see Brooklyn slowly making her way out of hers and Jon's room.

"Who was just laughing?"

"Me why?" She glared at Colby.

"Because your fucking loud as hell and woke me up."

"Aw does the poor baby have a hangover? Ow!" Brooklyn smiled as Jon hit him.

"Making fun of Brooklyn isn't allowed Lopez." Colby pouted as Jon pulled Brooklyn down into his lap. She immediately let his embrace warm her.

"You okay darlin?"

"Yea I just have a headache."

"Want some water baby girl?"

"Yea." Joe nodded and grabbed her a bottle of water before pouring himself more coffee.

"Thank you Joe. Why can't you be nice like Joe" she asked looking at Colby.

"Because I'm like the annoying little brother, they aren't nice."

"You're older than me."

"Then I'm the annoying older brother. You'll live." She shook her head and sipped on her water. The ringing of someones phone made Brooklyn cover her ears.

"Make it stop!"

"That's your phone sweetheart."

"Oh." She set her water down and slid off Jon's lap, making her way back into their room.

"Hello?"

"Hi sweetie."

"Oh hey mom, whats up?"

"I was just calling to let you know that when you get to the arena, you have a photo shoot."

"Why?"

"Your the new champion. You okay, you sound exhausted."

"We went out last night."

"Oh so your hungover. Hold on someone wants to talk to you."

"HEY B!" Brooklyn closed her eyes as her head pounded and her father laughed.

"That's so not funny."

"Think of it as payback for hitting me hard last night."

"I told you I was going to. Besides its not like you guys are gonna have more kids."

"Brooklyn Elizabeth!" Brooklyn laughed.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'll come see you guys when we get to the arena."

"Okay. BYE SWEETIE!" Brooklyn cringed and hung up the phone while her parents laughed.

"Jerks" she said as she plugged her phone back in and went back out to the room.

"Who was that babe?"

"Mom. I have a photo shoot when we get to the arena."

"A nude one?" Brooklyn blushed and hit Jon in his chest making him laugh.

"We're gonna go to the gym, you two joining us?"

"I'm not. I don't feel like throwing up."

"I'll stay too."

"Why aren't you going?"

"Cause I'm gonna nurse my girl back to health." Brooklyn smiled and layed her head on his shoulder as the other two fake gagged before leaving.

"You could have gone. I'd be okay on my own."

"I know but I didn't want to. Wanna go get some breakfast downstairs?" She shrugged.

"Sure. So uh, how bad was I last night?"

"Well you laughed the entire time I walked us back here. Then you tried unzipping my pants when I tried to help you change." Brooklyn blushed and covered her face with her hands.

"Don't be embarrassed babe. I told you not until you were sober and you said fine and went to sleep."

"I am so sorry." Jon laughed and pulled her hands away from her face and gave her a kiss.

"No need to be babe. I know most people wouldn't understand wanting to wait but I do and I respect it. But I have a question."

"Yea?"

"Did you make Randy wait?" Brooklyn took a deep breath.

"No. No I didn't make him wait. But after what he did, I find myself not wanting to move so fast anymore."

"Hey I understand babe. I was just curious. So shall we go to breakfast your highness?" Brooklyn giggled and nodded. He cupped the back of her neck and gave her a sweet kiss.

"I just have to change."

"Allow me to take you." He stood up with her still in his arms and carried her to their room all while she was laughing.

"Alright Brooklyn can we have one of you with the belt around your waist?" The photographer's assistant rushed over to help her do so. She had been in her photo shoot for thirty minutes and was so ready to be done. Her head was still pounding and she just wanted to go and snuggle with Jon.

"Perfect Brooklyn, perfect. I think we're all set."

"Perfect, thank you." She unsnapped her belt and shook hands before walking off. She was just about to turn down the hall to the shield's locker room when she was pulled back.

"What the hell?"

"Relax B, its just me." Brooklyn rolled her eyes and turned her head.

"Get it through you head Randy, I don't want to be around you. I'm not in the mood so let me go. Now."

"I saw you at the club last night, you looked beautiful."

"Thanks my boyfriend thought the same thing." It was his turn to roll his eyes.

"When are you gonna realize he isn't good for you?"

"Probably when pigs fly. I'm happy Randy, can't you just be happy for me?"

"No, I can't. We would be a much better fit B. We had fun together."

"Yea until you used me and got the title then turned into a giant douche bag. Let me go, now." He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off.

"I believe the lady asked you to let her go." Both turned their heads to see Colby standing there.

"Jon's looking for you Brooklyn." She nodded and ripped her arm out of Randy's hold before letting Colby lead her down the hall.

"Thanks for that Colby."

"Anytime. I may be that annoying older brother but you make Jon happy and I would like to think of you as a younger sister.

"Thanks Colby. He makes me just as happy." Colby nodded and Brooklyn smiled before they headed into the locker room.

"There you are babe, I was looking for you."

"Sorry. Randy stopped me." Jon tensed and noticed her arm was slightly red.

"What did he want?"

"Basically to talk shit about us being together."

"She put him in his place. Don't worry man." Jon looked at his brother.

"You heard them?"

"Yea, he actually was what caused Randy to let me go."

"Thanks man."

"Not a problem. But don't think this means I'll stop picking on you." Brooklyn smiled and nodded while Jon and Joe laughed.

"Please welcome my guest as this time, the divas champion, Brooklyn."

Brooklyn walked into the camera's view and smiled when she heard the crowd cheer.

"Brooklyn, everyone has been wondering why you did what you did last night at Extreme Rules." Brooklyn smiled.

"Its simple Renee, because I wanted to. I know most people won't believe me but I hated what my parents have been doing around here. How they have been treating everyone who does not agree with them. It was my father's turn to get screwed over and I did that."

"So how does Dean Ambrose come into play?"

"The way he stood up to my father was amazing. I knew what better way to get back at my parents then falling in love with one of the people they hate the most."

"So are you guys a couple?" Brooklyn smiled.

"Yes we are. I know what I said about him and that is true. I don't like Dean. I love Dean. Now if you'll excuse me Renee, I need to go find my man." She smiled warmly before walking out of the camera's view.

"So you love me huh." Brooklyn blushed as she walked up to a waiting Jon, who insisted on walking her to her promo in case Randy was still lurking around.

"Shut up." Jon laughed and wrapped an arm around her waist and leading them down the hall to catering. The grabbed their food before sitting down at their own table.

"You coming out with us tonight?" She nodded while chewing her chicken.

"Of course, gotta support my man." Jon laughed and kissed her hand.

"So uh, since we have a break coming up, I uh was wondering if you wanted to come to Vegas with me." Brooklyn looked at him wide eyed.

"R-really?"

"Yea I thought it would be nice. I understand if you don't and think this is to fast."

"No, no its not that its just when I was with Randy, he never invited me to his house. He either came to mine or we just didn't see each other."

"Well I'm not like him babe. I want you to come and be with me. What do ya say?" Brooklyn smiled and leaned in to kiss him sweetly.

"I'd love to." Jon let out a sigh of relief before kissing her again.

"Get a room." They broke apart and saw Brad and Nick heading towards them.

"What do you two want?"

"We came to see how you were feeling and to discuss prank week."

"I'm fine. My head hurts but I'll live."

"Good to hear. So about next week, we need to set the rules and boundaries."

"Okay nothing to do with removing hair or anything." Both laughed at Brad while Jon looked at them confused.

"What?"

"Oh you didn't tell him. Your girlfriend is evil. She and Nick thought it would be funny to put nair in my face wash so when I washed my face, my eyebrows came off."

Jon couldn't help it and started laughing along with Brooklyn and Nick.

"Okay agreed. I think we should do teams this month."

"Who would I team with?"

"Me darlin. You can team with me that is as long as your friends are okay with it." Brooklyn smiled.

"You guys good with it?" Nick and Brad looked at each other before leaning in to whisper something before sitting straight again.

"Deal but he must abide by the rules too." Jon held up a hand.

"Scouts honor. I gotta go babe, see you out there." Brooklyn nodded and smiled as Jon kissed her before leaving.

"So how have things been with lover boy." Brooklyn laughed.

"They've been good. I don't remember being this happy or relaxed with Randy. He uh, invited me to go to Vegas with him for our days off." Nick looked at her wide eyed as Brad spit out his drink.

"Dude!" Brooklyn laughed as Nick wiped some of it off of him.

"What did you say?"

"I said yes."

"Have you slept with him yet?" Brooklyn looked at Brad wide eyed as Nick shook his head with a smile on his face.

"No." Now it was both their turns to look at her wide eyed.

"Really?"

"Jesus what did you want me to do. Sleep with him on our first date?"

"You did with Randy" Nick said calmly, not wanting to anger his friend. Brooklyn nodded.

"Yea and look where that got me."

"B, you can't let one mans stupidity impact the rest of your relationships."

"So you want me to sleep with Jon?"

"We want you to be happy and put the past behind you. If that means sleeping with Jon then so be it but we want you to be at your happiest B."

"I am. I can't remember the last time someone made me feel the way he makes me feel."

"For what its worth, Jon told me he would rather get hit by a bus than hurt you."

"When did he tell you that?"

"Last night at the club. I told him how good he was for you and told him that you didn't need another asshole to hurt you in your life. I was being big brother basically." Brooklyn laughed and shook her head. She looked at her watch and saw she had to go.

"I have to go guys, I'm going out to the guys match. I'll see you later." The all hugged before she walked off to her locker room. She chnaged quickly before heading to the gorilla.

Brooklyn made it to the gorilla in time for the shields match to start.

The shield were in the ring, getting ready to go against Kane, Mark Henry, and Sheamus. All heads turned towards the ramp when Diva by Beyonce played and Brooklyn sauntered her way out onto the stage. She was wearing a shield crop top, dark skinny jeans and her knee high boots. She smirked at the boys before sitting at commentary.

"Hello Brooklyn, nice to have you here."

"Thank you King. Its always nice to be out here with you guys."

"So Brooklyn the question on everyones mind is why." Brooklyn laughed.

"Didn't you see my interview earlier Michael? My parents are screwing everyone who doesn't agree with them over so it was time for them to get a taste of their own medicine."

"And how does Dean Ambrose fit into all this?" Brooklyn watched as her boyfriend clotheslined Sheamus and smiled.

"We fell in love. Is that so hard to believe that someone would fall in love with me Michael."

Michael started fumbling his words, making Brooklyn smile.

"I think what he means is that just last week you told us you did not like Dean and he would never have a chance with you."

"I had to say that stuff. It wasn't the right time for us to come out about our relationship so we had to keep it on the down low. Like I said earlier, I didn't lie. I don't like Dean, I love Dean."

Brooklyn watched as Mark threw Dean out of the ring. She got up to check on him when Mark came over to her.

"Move little girl." Brooklyn smirked at him.

"What? What's so funny?" Pointing behind him, he turned around to be met with a superman punch from Roman. Smiling, Brooklyn knelt down to check on Dean.

"Are you okay?"

"Fine darlin. You look hot." Brooklyn blushed and helped him back up before he got back into the ring.

"If I must say so, you and Dean look good together Brooklyn."

"Think you King, I agree completely."

"Have you talked to your parents?"

"Nope and I don't need to. When they decide to stop being power hunger wolves and be the parents I know, I will talk to them." JBL shook his head and the other two stayed quiet. The shield ended up winning and Brooklyn turned to the three announcers.

"Well its been fun guys, see you next time." Taking off her headset, she grabbed her title and slid into the ring. Dean immediately lifted her up and spun her around before giving her a kiss. They broke apart before heading backstage.

"Good job out there guys."

"Thanks baby girl." Brooklyn smiled as Jon wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his chin on her shoulder.

"Are you guys excited to go home this weekend" she asked as they started walking back to the locker room, her and Jon holding hands.

"Yup, we wanna see our girls. How bout you, we hear you and Jon are gonna have some fun." Colby and Joe wiggled their eyebrows, making Jon laugh and Brooklyn blush.

"I hate you guys."

"No you don't. I quote "I don't like Dean, I love Dean" Colby said, imitating her voice, making her blush again.

"Fuck off two tones." Colby playfully glared at her while the other two men laughed.

"You've been hanging around Jon to much."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No" Jon said at the same time Colby said "yes." Brooklyn rolled her eyes and entered the locker room. They all changed before heading to the hotel.

"You looked very sexy tonight babe." Brooklyn blushed as her and Jon layed in their bed watching a movie.

"Thanks. I thought you would like it."

"Oh I more than liked it. You excited about Vegas?" Brooklyn looked up at him and smiled.

"Yea, I am. Your gonna have to show me around."

"You've never been to Vegas?" She shook her head and Jon smirked.

"Well then I will be more than happy to be your guide your highness." Brooklyn smiled as Jon leaned down and kissed her before they settled back into watch the movie.

All though her eyes were on the screen, her attention was elsewhere. The conversation with Nick and Brad playing over and over in her head. She knew that what happened with Randy, shouldn't affect her relationship with Jon.

"What are you thinking about babe?" Brooklyn snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him.

"Nothing. Just about how I said I wanted to wait a month."

"Okay, what about it? Do you want to wait longer?" Brooklyn smiled softly and reached a hand up to stroke his cheek.

"No, no I don't want to wait longer. I was actually thinking about forgetting about the whole month thing." Jon looked at her wide eyed, trying to contain his excitement. He had never done this for anyone else but with Brooklyn, it was different. He wanted to do everything to make her happy and comfortable but now hearing she doesn't want to wait, made electricity course through him.

"Really?"

"Yea. I can't let past bad experiences rule my life. I know you are nothing like Randy, so I feel comfortable enough to take the next step. That is if you feel like it too."

"Of course I do babe, how could I not. Especially with how you dressed tonight." Brooklyn giggled and Jon kissed her palm.

"So. Now?" She laughed again and shook her head.

"Sorry cowboy but no. I'm tired and we have an early day tomorrow. What about when we are in Vegas." Jon smirked.

"That's fine. I'll have you all to myself then." She blushed and leaned up to kiss him before laying her head on his chest.

Brooklyn felt happiness course through her. Not even with Randy did she ever feel like this. Closing her eyes, she started drifting off to sleep, thoughts of the upcoming days going through her head.
