Thank you to Alexandria M, jessica619, corbettluv, DeeMarie426, 'Guest' and justkimmy for reviewing :)

Laying in bed, Leah snuggled up to my side as we were still tangled up in the sheets. I smiled at her and kissed her head as we laid in bed. I've kept her up all night, and it wasn't slowing down at all this morning either.

"What has you so happy that you've been making amazing love to me the past few days?" Leah asked me when she looked up at me.

"I don't know." I told her as I gave her a kiss and playing with some of her hair. "I just think we need to keep celebrating your birthday, even though it's been two weeks since it's passed."

She giggled and snuggled closer to me. "You're a mess."

"Yes, but you love this mess that I call me." I told her as I streched my free arm and propped it under my pillow.

I got her to straddle me and when I pulled her down to kiss me, it turned into another round of love making. When we were done, we got dressed and went on our way to the mall. It was the weekend, but we wanted to the mall anyways to see if we could find some new pair of gloves to last us the rest of the winter.

Walking through the mall, I heard Leah whimper softly and pull on my arm. I figured that she may have been cold and put her hand in my pocket. Leah suddenly pulled me quickly into a store and took me to the back of the store to where the dressing rooms were at. Looking into her eyes, I knew that something wasn't right.

"What's wrong?" I asked her as I saw her eyes going all over the place.

Leah hesitated to say anything but knew that I was going to eventually ask her again. "He's here."

Wondering who she was talking about, I realized exactly who when I saw the same look in her eyes as the last time. But this time, it was mixed with frustration.

"Why is he around here all of a sudden?" Leah asked. "He used to hate coming here."

"He probably wants to come here because he thinks he'll see you again." I replied.

She rolled her eyes at the thought of what happened the last time they saw each other. When he came into the store, she pulled me into one of the dressing rooms and locked the door. Seeing her take her coat off, I did the same and put it up on the hook.

Leah mouthed that it was him when we heard a man's voice getting close to the room we were in. I grabbed her behind and picked her up, letting her wrap her legs around my waist. After a few minutes, I put her down before we grabbed our things and walked out. Looking around, Leah couldn't find him anywhere, so we began to leave.

"Leah?" Someone asked. We turned around and it was a man wakling up to us.

"John, what the hell do you want now?" Leah asked.

I looked at him and stood slightly in front of her when he stepped closer to her. "This is the guy you were talking about?"

She nodded when I looked at her. "That's my mom's husband."

"Is there a problem?" He asked in a Southern accent.

"This is the same guy that I saw my mom fuck on three different occasions." I said loud enough for both of them to hear.

Leah gasped and held on to my arm. "Are you serious?"

O.O

"He's lying to you, darlin'." John told me. "Don't believe him."

Dean looked at me and I knew that he was telling me the truth. "He's being honest, I can tell when he is. I always knew that you were capable of cheating on my mom. There was a part of me that was hoping that you would be the one guy to finally treat her differently. But you just proved me wrong, like you always have."

"Let's forget all about this little conversation." John said. "Come with me and let's get reaquainted again in the bedroom."

Just as John grabbed me, Dean shoved him with enough force to send him stumbling back. I quickly stood in front of Dean to keep him from doing anything else.

"Try to put your hands on her again!" Yelled Dean as he tried to get past me. "I'll be damned if I let you do anything to Leah!"

"Dean!" I exclaimed, wanting him to calm down as he kept trying to get past me as John regained his balance. "Let's go."

I heard John begin to laugh. "Tell your little boyfriend that I need to show him how a real man looks and how a real man handles his thing."

"He's a hell of a lot more of a man than you ever were since the day that I met you." I snapped at him. "Why don't you just leave me the hell alone?! You've caused enough trouble for me. I don't need you causing anymore damage."

John snorted. "He's just a little boy. What's a boy going to do for you that you feel that I can't?"

Dean rushed passed me, but was quickly stopped by Roman whose huge frame did a better job at keeping Dean from physically doing anything when he came out of nowhere and almost tackled Dean.

"You don't know what the hell you're getting yourself into." Dean told John as Roman continued to hold him back. "That girl right there is my everything and I will NOT let you or any other guy do her harm, do you understand me?!"

Roman was able to get a firm grip on Dean and pulled him aside leaving me alone with John and the audience of shoppers that were there watching the whole thing. I quickly left and followed Roman seeing that Dean was fighting him back on this.

"Dean, that's enough!" Yelled Roman, making him stop yelling and stand there before pacing back and forth. When he saw me, I quickly walked into his arms and happily sighed at the feeling of being in his arms.

Looking up at him, I saw him struggling to calm down. Dean pressed his forehead against mine as his hands continued to take in all of me, as if I had been gone for days.

"I'm okay." I whispered to him, as if answering a question he had in that head of his.

"I love you." Dean whispered in my ear before digging his face into my neck.

I smiled and kissed his ear. "I love you, too."

"You wanna spend the day with me and the guys?" Asked Roman. When I tried to pull back, realizing that he was talking to Dean, he pulled me right back in and wouldn't let go. Staying in his arms to keep him calm, he poked his head up and looked at Roman and nodded.

"Leah can stay with me." Said Trinity with a smile as she walked up to us with Jimmy and Jey. "We could have some girl time."

I grinned and looked at Dean. "You gonna be okay?"

Dean thought for a moment. "I'll be good."

We shared another 'I love you' and a few more kisses before I went with Trinity. On our way to the food court, we bumped into Vanessa who was with some of her friends. She walked up to Trinity and I with a smile on her face.

"Don't tell me you're still going to stand by a tempermental guy, like Dean." Said Vanessa.

"Today's not the best day to test my patience." I told her. "Besides don't worry about Dean. He's not your boyfriend. Why do you care so much about what he says and does anyways?"

Vanessa looked at me. "Because he's not good for you."

"Yes, you've told me that already." I replied. "What I don't get is why you waited until we started dating to be against him. You could have told me whatever problem you had with him before it happened, Vanessa. Don't you find it weird that you wait until that happens to say something, because I sure do."

She said nothing as she stood in front of me, still. "You don't know the things that man has done for me since we met. You just see what he shows you. Don't get it twisted, Vanessa. You may know him longer than I have, but I know him better. I'm the one that has conversations with him at three in the morning because we can't sleep. I'm the one that sees the real him that nobody else does, because they're too busy worrying about the cover of the book that he shows. Dean is an amazing man and I'm not going to give up on him just because you don't like him."

I walked away with Trinity, leaving her standing right where she was. Looking around, I was glad to not see John anywhere, but I was still upset about seeing him. I know that it's been a few months since I had seen him, but still. John was the reason for why I was kicked out of the house a month before the school year began. I don't know what he's doing that has my mother seeing him as a damn saint.

O.O

I was still ticked off about what had happened earlier, but I was beginning to cool off. I just wanted to know that Leah was okay and that the asshole of a guy didn't do anything to her while I wasn't around.

Roman and his twin cousins were three guys that I could always count on for some guy time, and just in general. They were all good guys and I know I've been in need of some good people in my life.

My phone vibrated and when I looked, it was Leah. She had sent a picture of her pouting and saying that she missed me. I couldn't help but smile at the pout that she always gave me that I couldn't ever resist. I missed her so much and it's only been a few hours. I don't know how I ever made it through those three and half weeks of her not being around.

"Ambrose is completely in love." Said Jimmy as they all looked at me. "It has to be Leah with that smile that he has."

I chuckled and made a face. "Yes, I'll admit that I'm in love. And maybe it's true that I'm wrapped around her finger, but I wouldn't change a thing."

Eating another slice of pizza, I finished watching a movie with the guys when Leah and Trinity walked in through the door. Not being able to take the stupid grin off of my face, I pulled Leah into my arms and spun her around. Hearing her giggle was music to my ears as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

After putting her coat away for her, Leah grabbed my hand and stood by my side with a smile on her face as we saw everybody having a good time. When everybody left Leah went to go take a shower, but came out quickly and into my room a few minutes later.

"Dean, I wanna cuddle." Leah told me sweetly. "Please?"

I pulled the covers back on my bed and let her get in first. Wrapping her up in my arms, I gave her a few kisses before turning the television on.

"Do you feel better from earlier?" She asked me softly.

I nodded. "I just...he put his hands on you and all I saw was red. I don't know what I'd do if I let something bad happen to you. My first instinct was to try to protect you."

"I'm not mad at you for acting the way that you did." She told me as I felt her fingers on my chest. "I'd want to protect you too."

Feeling my fingers curl her hair, I played with it and watched her smile happily.

"How many times did you see him with your mom?" Leah asked.

"About three times." I replied. "But it was after I met you. I didn't know that that he was your step-dad."

She stayed quiet for a bit. "It's okay. Let's promise that we won't ever do to each other, what our parents did."

"I promise, baby." I told her, looking into her eyes.

"I promise, too." She replied.

We shared a kiss and I tickled her a bit, making her laugh. She quickly cuddled back up to me when I was done. Even when she fell asleep about an hour later, I smiled at Leah's peaceful face. I never knew that one could feel so much love for another person. It made you feel like you were on top of the world but it scared knowing that they have your heart in their hands. I didn't want anyone else with my heart. I only want her.

A/N: Both John and Vanessa aren't going to let up anytime soon. What did you think about Dean going all protective mode for Leah? She really has him wrapped around her finger, doesn't she? *In a good way, of course lol*

Another thing, Roman Reigns last night on Raw throwing that block to Seth, almost catching him in the head? I think it's time that WWE lets him get a bit of revenge while Dean is out for another few weeks. It gives Roman a chance to get at Seth.
