A few weeks later…
'We went out that night, now it's your turn to enjoy a night out kids. Your friends Pamela and Rami should be there to help you get ready soon. Love ya both and have fun. ;)'
Amanda and Finn exchanged startled glances at each other, having found the note after getting back from the airport and neither had any idea where Heather had disappeared to but had a feeling that they'd see her again… they had a feeling that Finn's parents had been thinking of getting them from going stir crazy in the apartment.
Of course, calling Bayley and Sami by their real names implied some seriousness.
"Yep… my parents already love you like you're their daughter in law." Finn says, Amanda nodding in agreement… and smiling slightly.
"Wakey up, sleepyheads!" Both heard Bayley say in a loud and chipper voice.
"Yeah, come on! Date night awaits you two!" Sami exclaimed.
Amanda walked over and opened the door, her and Bayley hugging before she and Sami hugged.
"Come on you, let's go!" Bayley exclaimed happily, Amanda and Finn kissing before Bayley basically dragged Amanda out the door and to the Camaro.
"What took you so fucking long to finally hook up with Mandy?" Sami asked after the two left and he closed the door.
In all seriousness, Finn wasn't sure how to answer that question or if he even knew the right answer… from the first moment he had met the petite brunette in the Performance Centre, Amanda had awoken something in him that he hadn't felt since his relationship with Aileen had started out.
Finn looked right at Sami, finally explaining it…
July 28th 2014, WWE Performance Centre…
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knocking around my door
I don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, I said get way
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come hanging around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
The knock on the now opened door made Amanda jump and turn around, seeing two people.
"See, she's got a lot of energy, Finn." Hunter says, Amanda turning the radio off… but her eyes never drifted away from Finn.
She tried to speak but her voice wouldn't obey her and a shy laugh escaped her mouth instead.
"Aw, don't go shy now, lass. I won't bite you." Finn says before the two hugged, Amanda looking at Hunter.
'You plotting something, pal?' Amanda mouthed.
'Who, me? Nah.' Hunter mouthed back… but a subtle wink followed before Finn and Amanda let go and Finn turned to Hunter.
"Hunter, she's adorable. Where did you find her?" Finn says, Amanda trying her hardest not to blush.
"I met her back in 2001, her brother used to bring her to some of the events… now kids, talk and get to know each other." Hunter says before leaving, closing the door behind him and his footsteps echoing down the hallway.
Finn and Amanda sat down on the couch, Amanda still trying to find her voice… but something about his blue eyes made it hard to speak.
"Take your time, luv." Finn says.
"When… when Hunter said that someone new was signing with us, I didn't know what to think… I tried asking him but he reassured me to be patient, that it would pay off in the end." Amanda manages to say, Finn's right hand resting on her left shoulder.
"He also said you were reinventing your wrestling style before getting back in the ring. I know how to help out with that." Finn says, him helping Amanda up to her feet and the two heading into the main room of the Performance Centre.
Once in the ring, the two shook hands as a sign of trust… and Finn snuck behind Amanda, carefully locking one arm behind her back.
"Now you're a lot smaller than my usual opponents and it's our first session so I'll go easy on you-" Finn starts to say, letting out a startled yelp when Amanda pulled his left arm and got out of the hold before running at the ropes and bouncing off of them with ease and launching her body at Finn, knocking him down.
"I'm tiny but Rey Mysterio is one of the ones I've learned from." Amanda says with a slight chuckle, her shyness gone as she had Finn pinned down like she was straddling him.
"Very well played, Mandy." Finn says… before overpowering her and locking her left leg around his waist.
"Hey, my legs don't bend like that!" Amanda said through her laughter, Finn laughing too…
Present time…
"And you know the rest from there, Sami. I was surprised when she overpowered me at first." Finn says.
"She's little but that works to her advantage. That and growing up with five older brothers helped out." Sami says.
"Five?! Mandy said she was the youngest of her family and I've met John but… the other four, they're gonna kill me when they find out that I'm dating their baby sister." Finn says.
"Nah, they ain't gonna kill ya… they might give you a talking to about not messing with their little sister's heart but kill you? Not unless they feel reason to." Sami says.
"Very reassuring." Finn said sarcastically.
"Relax, pal." Sami says.
It was about seven in the evening when Finn, dressed in a pair of black pants, black shoes and a black buttoned up shirt, had finished rolling the sleeves up to just past his forearms when a knock sounded at the door and he walked over, opening it… a flash of brick red on her nails was what first caught his attention.
Stood there was Amanda, dressed in a black low cut dress that stopped at the middle of her thighs with lace paneling in the chest and back. She had on a pair of red stiletto heels on, her long curly hair in a high ponytail and her makeup in a subtle smokey eye look and berry colored blush on her face along with a subtle berry lipstick… and the familiar scent of black orchids.
Finn smiled and held out his left arm for Amanda, who linked her right arm into it and entwined their hands before they left in the Altima.
'Bayley, you have a wicked mind.' Amanda thought as Finn's right hand rested on her left thigh at a red light and the two kissed.
She knew to never let Bayley's smile fool her.
