Jon and Brianna left the arena and made their way to a little 50's diner that was down the street from where they were at.
"So, what kind of music are you into?" He asked as he stopped at a stop light.
"I like a lot of Classic Rock. Van Halen, AC/DC, Led Zepplin,Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi. I'm not really all that picky when it comes to music though. If it has a good beat and a good message, I dig it." She replied cracking the window a little bit.
"That's cool, Sounds like we like a lot of the same bands. Are you into Avenged Sevenfold or Five Finger Death Punch?" He asked as he drove through the stop light that had now turned green.
"Yeah, I like some of their stuff. Like I said, I'm not really all that picky. Can I ask you something?" She questioned now looking over at him.
"Sure, what's on your mind?" Jon asked as he pulled into the parking lot of the diner. He shut the car off and looked over at Brianna. He admired her dark brown eyes, her chest nut brown hair, and her real beauty. He always found it sexy whenever a woman would embrace her natural beauty, and Bri did just that.
Brianna could feel his eyes on her. She was wondering exactly what he was thinking, Jon was very hard to read that was something she figured out rather quickly. Even though the young hippie had only known him for a shot amount of time, she felt like she had this connection with him, a strange spiritual and hopefully soon to be physical connection with him. Shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts she turned her attention back to Jon.
"Nevermind, forget my question it's stupid and none of my business." She took off her seat belt and stepped out of the car.
Once Brianna was out of the car she stretched her arms and looked around. Jon soon followed her and went into the diner with her. Everyone there greeted the two of them with open arms.
"Dean! We're so happy to see you in here again, last time you had a few women with you." An older woman stated with a grin as she showed the two of them to a booth near the back.
Brianna sat down across the table from him.
"I take it you come here a lot?" She questioned as she picked up the menu and looked through it.
"I try to come to this place everytime I'm in town. It's been a few years since I've been here though. That older woman, Betty, she's always here. I came in here one night, pretty shitfaced. I think it was back during my Indy days or somethin' anyways, I had a few skanks with me. A blonde, a red head by the name of Reby Sky, and a brunette. It was late and I wanted a hamburger and this was the only joint open besides McDonald's, and I didn't want some processed shit, I wanted real meat. So, me and my entourage of skanks came here. Betty was as sweet as could be to me, and ever since then I've kinda just made this my go to spot." Jon said as he picked up his menu and looked through it.
Bri smiled at him and closed her menu. "So, I think I'll be getting the grilled chicken salad with a chocolate soda."
Jon looked over at her and chuckled. "A salad, really? I don't understand how you survive being a hippie and eating salad and all that shit. I'll be getting a bacon cheeseburger minus the onions some fries and a strawberry milkshake."
Bri let her dark brown hues lock on him as she shook her head.
"I do just fine. I don't cut meat totally out of my diet I just choose healthy options like free ranged chicken or organic things. I like my food to be fresh. You do know that all that stuff you ordered is bad for your health, right? I mean I'm not one to tell you how to live your life or whatever, I'm just saying there might be certain people on this planet who want to see you hang around for awhile." Brianna was rambling that was something she had a tendency to do when she was nervous around people. Usually, whenever she met someone new she was shy and quiet but, around Jon she was outspoken and talkative, which was a bit unusual for her.
Jon flashed Bri that ever so smug smirk of his before replying to her. "Are you saying that you want to see me around more, Brianna?" He questioned as he leaned against the table and let his blue hues scan her up and down.
"God, she's so beautiful." He thought to himself as he leaned back in the booth they were in.
Brianna wanted to kick herself for flirting with Jon. She had just gotten out of a relationship with Bryan and part of her felt guilty for even thinking that she and Jon could be an item. Sure, they were going to be one on national television but, Bri was longing for that love and passion in her life again. Snapping from her thoughts she let her dark brown orbs lock onto his blue ones before replying to him.
"Don't flatter yourself, Jon. I hardly know you." She smiled softly as Betty took their order.
After the two of them finished eating Jon went over to the jukebox that was near the back of the diner. He turned on a classic Elvis song "Love Me Tender" He knew exactly what he was doing as he shuffled over back to the table and stood in front of Bri.
"May I have this dance?" He asked as he held his left hand out to her.
Jon's weird behavior seemed to attract Brianna even more to him. He was a mystery and she was bound and determined to figure him out, even if it killed her. Looking up at him, another soft smile formed on her lips as she placed her petite right hand into his dry cracked hand and stood up from the table. "You may." She stated as they walked over towards the back of the diner hand in hand.
~Brianna's POV~
I can't believe I'm slow dancing with him. I feel so... guilty, but, at the same time it just feels right. There's something about Jon that I can't quite place my finger on, that attracts me to him. I'm not sure if it's his bad boy persona, his devilishly good looks, or his weird personality but, whatever it is, I'm hooked and I need more of this dangerous man they call Dean Ambrose.
As the two of them danced together the smile on Bri's face never left. Jon pulled Brianna closer to him his arms moved around her waist as he loved the feeling of having a woman back in his arms again.
+Jon's POV+
I stood in the middle of the diner with Brianna in my arms as the two of us danced. I don't know what the hell came over me. I asked her to dance with me not thinking she would accept the offer, I thought for sure she'd turn me down or slap me across the face but, she was different. Definitely different than Saraya. I pulled her closer to me my arms wrapped around her waist as we danced. Betty and a few of the other workers caught us dancing together and I smiled softly and gave them a thumbs up as I embraced Brianna's scent of Warm Vanilla perfume, it was making me weak in the knees. What's coming over me? I just got out of a relationship, I can't be falling this fast. I make women fall for me not the other way around.
"You see that, Bill that's what young love looks like. I have a good feeling about those kids. " Betty stated as she watched Jon and Bri dance together.
Bill, the cook for the little diner smiled at his wife as he wrapped his arms around her and slowly started to dance with her.
"I remember when we young like that. I think I even did the same thing that Dean did. I asked for your hand and we danced for awhile. Those two kids are gonna make it."
As the song on the jukebox ended Brianna looked up at Jon still smiling. "Thank you, for dinner and the dance it was very sweet of you."
Jon looked down at her and smiled. Which was a first because he never smiled.
"No problem, And I wouldn't really call it sweet but, yeah its no problem, it's the least I can I do since we'll be working together for awhile. I guess we should get out of here and go to the hotel and get some rest before, we go and tape Smackdown."
Brianna sighed and let her brown orbs lock on him. She didn't want this moment to end, she loved being in his arms and inhaling his scent, she loved his smile, she simply loved everything about this moment.
"That sounds like a good idea. Um, I don't really have anywhere to stay. Bryan kicked me out and I don't want to stay with my sister." She stated still looking up at Jon.
Seeing those big brown eyes look up at her Jon sighed and ran his hand through messy brown hair. "I don't normally do this but, uh, you can stay with me if you want."
Hearing Jon's offer Bri beamed from ear to ear. "I'll just stay for tonight and I promise tomorrow I'll be in my own room. I don't want to be a bother to you."
Jon shook his head. "Brianna, if it was a bother I wouldn't have offered. So, you're not a bother, toots. Besides, I'd love to have some company besides a bottle of Jack." A sly smirk formed on his face as the two of them left the diner.
The Next Morning
Briana woke up around 5A.M. She wasn't able to sleep her mind wouldn't shut down. She kept replaying what happened between her and Bryan in her head.
*Flashback*
"I can't do this anymore Bri, Maybe three years with you is enough." Bryan stated as he began throwing Bri's make up and other items into her suitcase.
"Would you please, stop throwing all my shit around. And what are you talking about Bryan?" Bri asked confused as she picked up the items he had thrown into her suitcase and placed them back on the end of the bed.
"I'm talking about you never being here for me and only thinking about yourself. I never get to see you anymore and when I do we have to film for Total Divas. I just, I can't do it anymore." He said throwing her stuff back into her bag.
Hearing Bryan's words Bri grew furious. How could he say she was never there? How could he say she never cared about him?
"How dare you, Bryan! You must have forgotten how I quit my dream job for you. If I didn't care about you I never would of done any of that. As for Total Divas, you could of said no, I didn't force any of this on you."
"I didn't ask you to quit your job Bri. You did that on your own. Did you even stop to think about how your idiotic choices affect me? Did you ever stop to think about me rather than yourself? No wonder Nicole turned on you at SummerSlam. I would of turned on you too. I would of turned my back on you a long time ago. "
Bryan's words lit a fire inside Brianna and they hit her hard. Without thinking Bri slapped him hard against the face. After slapping Bryan she stood there in shock.
"GET OUT! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM!" Bryan yelled. "The wedding is off, I don't EVER want to see you again, Give me back my ring too."
Bri took her engagement ring off and threw it at him. She zipped up her suitcase and left the room in tears.
*End Flashback*
Getting up from the couch she had tried to sleep on she sighed and went over to the coffee pot that was in the room and turned it on. While the coffee was brewing she went over to the front of the couch and pulled her hair back. Once her hair was out of her face she began to stretch and do her yoga.
Jon woke up around 5:45A.M. to the smell of coffee brewing he stretched his arms and placed his feet on the ground. He got out of bed and rubbed his eyes as he groggily walked over to the coffee pot. He stopped dead in his tracks and smirked as he watched Bri do some weird yoga poses, she was very flexible, which was definitely something he thought could be useful if the two of them ever did hook up. She was in some position where both her hands and feet were flat on the floor. Her butt was in the air and Jon had to admit he was enjoying the view.
"Well, good morning, Brianna."
Hearing Jon's raspy voice Bri practically jumped out of her skin causing her to quickly stand up from her yoga position.
"You scared the piss out of me. How long have you been there?" She questioned as she felt her cheeks turn red.
"Not long, I'll admit I was enjoying the view though." He replied with a smirk as he went over to the coffee pot and poured himself a cup if coffee.
Bri walked over to the coffee pot and she too poured herself a cup of coffee. She added some French Vanilla creamer and some sugar and sat down across from Jon.
"So, how'd you sleep?" She asked sipping on her coffee.
"I slept pretty okay, I would have slept better if I had someone to cuddle with though. Yeah, I'll admit it. I'm a cuddler you better not tell anyone though, I have a reputation to uphold y'know. How about you, how'd you sleep darlin'?" Jon asked as he drank his coffee.
"I didn't sleep at all really. I had a lot on my mind. Don't worry your secret is save with me. I'm going to head down to the gym, Do you want to come with me?" She yawned a little and took another sip of her coffee.
Since Jon had missed his workout the day before he was feeling a little off so he decided to join her for a work out.
"Sure just let me throw a shirt on."
Brianna bit down on her bottom lip as she watched Jon walk away to put a shirt on. She saw a big scar that ran down his back she was curious as to how he received such a horrible looking scar.
Jon turned to face her as he put his shirt on. He caught Brianna biting down on her bottom lip as her dark brown hues were glued to him. Instead of putting his shirt on he tossed it onto the bed.
"You know Brianna, we can always have our own little work out." He said smirking over at her as he shuffled over to where she was standing. Jon inched closer to her still smirking as he whispered into her left ear. "I bet you're a screamer, aren't you Brianna."
Bri grew weak in the knees feeling his warm husky breath near her ear. Her body was instantly covered in goose bumps which caused the young hippie to shiver slightly. She opened her mouth to speak but, no words came out. A sudden dryness gripped the back of her throat she took another sip of her coffee and closed her eyes.
"This has to be a dream. There's no way in hell that Jon is trying to seduce me. Of course, I have thought about it, but, who hasn't? Besides, he's Dean Ambrose why on earth would he want a woman like me?" She thought to herself as she opened her eyes and shook her head. Bri was finally able to speak although she was going to dread what she was about to say.
"Why me? What makes me different than all the others?" She questioned now turning to face him, boy what a mistake that was. As soon as the better Bella turned around she was face to face with his shirtless body and sweat pants that rode just a little too low. She bit her bottom lip again and shook her head.
"Fuck." She mumbled to herself.
Jon looked down at her and smirked.
"You're cute when you're sexually frustrated. And what makes you different than all the others? Well that's easy Brianna, you're real the others were fake. Besides, you and I have a lot in common, hell we even share a common enemy. Let's just say you keep me some what sane."
Bri smiled slightly at his compliment towards her. "Jon, as much as I would like to do this I just, I can't right now. I'm sorry, I just got out of my relationship with Bryan, and you and I, we hardly know each other, I just want to get to know you, the real you, not the-" Before Bri could finish rambling Jon's lips were crashing against hers. She didn't know how to react, she pulled away at first but, he suckered her back in and she kissed him back.
After a few minutes passed Jon broke the kiss and smirked at her. "You talk too much. And believe me when I say you won't be able to hide those feelings for me forever, Brianna. I see that look in your eyes you're falling for me, and you're falling hard."
As much as Bri hated to admit it to herself he was right. She was falling fast and hard for him. Her head was telling her it was wrong to be falling for Jon so fast but, her heart was telling her otherwise.
"Talking too much is a flaw of mine, especially when I get nervous. And don't be so sure Jon." Bri looked over at the clock and grew slightly panicked as it read 6:30A.M.
"Shit Jon, we're going to be late. Filming for Smackdown starts in about forty minutes." She set her coffee cup down and went over to her suitcase. She took off her shorts and put on a pair of jeans. Once she was dressed she zipped up her suitcase and looked over at Jon.
"Jonathan, hurry up! We're going to be late and I can't afford to get yelled at again."
Jon looked over at Bri and chuckled. "What did you call me?" He questioned now walking over to where she was standing. He towered over her not by much since she stood at 5'6" and he stood at 6' 4" but, it made him feel in control. He looked down at her and grabbed Brianna by the hair. He saw the fear in her eyes as he held her by the hair this made him smirk. "You're lucky I like you Brianna, I normally don't let anyone call me by my full name, It sounds so sweet and innocent coming from that pretty mouth of yours." Jon planted another kiss on her lips and then let go of Brianna's hair.
"Let's get a move on. I wouldn't want the perfect Brie Bella to be late." He smirked at her as the two of them left his hotel room and headed to the arena.
Today was definitely going to be a long day.
Authors Note: I do not think Bryan acts the way I made him act towards Brie, I just needed someone to be the asshole and he fit the part. I'm also sorry for the wait and longer chapter. I feel like the story is better with more detail. I will also be skipping ahead about a month or so into the story when I write the next chapter as I'm eager to get to the whole kidnapping thing and what not. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my story. Reviews and favorites are always nice.
