Special thanks to Magikat409 and Guest for your comments. You guys are the best. Now here is Chapter 7.
Today was my birthday and normally I would normally treat this day like any other ordinary day, but this year was different. First I was woken up by Jon who was being like an annoying kid by poking me in the face. It was funny because I ended up waking up laughing because of it. Once we were both awake and had gotten ourselves ready for the day, we had a couple of interviews and a fan meet and greet signing that lasted for about two hours.
Now, Jon and I had arrived to a bar and grille restaurant that was also a pool hall that was nearby. Jon said he wanted to treat me to a few beers, wings, and some pool as a way to celebrate my birthday, which I was totally down for. I never turn down for wings, beer, and a game of pool. Jon ordered a big basket of wings for us to share and Budweiser, while I ordered Corona, which he made fun of me. I punched his bicep and he just laughed before grabbing his beer and headed to an empty pool table. I grabbed my bottle of Corona and followed behind him. Jon had already racked the balls up and was holding two pool sticks, smirking at me.
"You down for a game of pool?" Jon asked.
"I'm always down for pool." I said and took one of the pool sticks from him and the cue ball, placing it on the table.
Jon moved the rack from the balls as I was focusing my aim. I moved my left elbow back and pushed it forward with force so that I get the cue ball break up the rest of the balls. None of the balls went into the holes, which I was fine with because it's how I like to start the game.
"Step aside sweetheart, and let a man show you how it's done." Jon said and he sat on the edge of the pool table and made his shot, two balls going into the hole.
I rolled my eyes and walked passed him, letting my cue stick smack his butt, making him laugh. I walked over to where the cue ball was newly placed and looked at Jon. I smirked and hit the cue ball making three of my balls go into three separate holes. Jon's jaw dropped and I laughed at his reaction as he grumbled a few choice words.
"Let's make this interesting and make a bet, shall we?" He suggested as he stopped himself from making his shot.
"Okay what you got for me?" I asked as I folded my arms.
"If I win, you have to wear my merch to your matches until Survivor Series. Whether it's my shirt, hoodie, or even necklace. I don't care. Just wear it, and wear it proud." Jon said, giving me his stipulation.
I nodded, "Okay and if I win, you have to let me put makeup on you wear it all night long."
"Alright deal. Let's shake on it." Jon said, sticking his hand out and I grabbed it and gave him a firm shake. "Ready to lose and wear my awesome clothes. I mean I know you want to show the world how cool I am?" He teased as he took his turn, having another ball go into the hole.
I rolled my eyes playfully. "You say that now, but we both know that I'm going to win and have you beautified, by yours truly."
We continued to play pool while teasing each other back and forth. We decided to play three rounds since I won the first game and he won the second game. Jon and I took a break after the second game and ate some hot wings, while we just talked about anything and everything just like we do on a daily basis. People who didn't know us from Adam, would believe that we were the best of friends because of how easily Jon and I could talk to and joke around each other. However it was different when it came to our fellow colleagues of WWE. They look at us like it's impossible for a hearing person to have the conversations we have with a deaf person. Of course we didn't care what others think of us since they didn't matter to us in the first place.
After we finished eating our wings, we went back to the pool table and start on game three that will break our tie. I didn't care if I win or lose, because I was having fun and that's all that mattered. However, I wouldn't mind winning just to say I did. Jon and I were definitely being competitive in this final round of pool to the point it was ridiculous, but again we were having fun.
We were getting down to the end of the game and I was trying to get the eight ball in the hole before Jon did. It was his turn to shoot and I decided to tickle him, but it had no effect since the asshole isn't ticklish. Jon laughed and went back to focusing his aim. I walked back next to him and whistled, causing Jon to roll his eyes. Right when Jon was about to shoot, I hooked my fingers on the side of his lips, stretching it like he does to fellow superstars in his crazy matches. He hit the cue ball, but misses the eight ball and that was when I pulled my fingers away and acted all innocent.
"You cheated." He said and I shrugged like I did no such thing.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Good." I said and walked around him and got ready to take my turn.
"I think you do know what I'm talking about." Jon said as he turned me around to face him as he was smirking. His hands were on either side of my waist as he held his crazed look.
"I don't think I do, but please do enlighten me." I smiled and tapped his chest with the hand that was free of the cue stick.
"Well you, little lady distracted me and cost me my win." He said and moved closer to me, making my back hit the edge of the pool table, but I wasn't fazed.
"What are you going to do about it?" I taunted, but this made him smirk even more.
"This." Jon smirked before he leaned in and crashed his lips against mine for a kiss. I was shocked, because not only was this unexpected, but this was also my first kiss. I know, I'm twenty-four years old and never kissed a guy before, so lame. It's true though but Jon or anyone else don't have to know that.
I felt Jon's tongue grazed my bottom lip before his teeth gently tugged on it before pulling away. He smirked and then leaned towards my ear. "Awe you missed. Looks like it's my turn now." He chuckled and pulled away from me.
I touched my lips as they were tingling but then got out of my fazed, but it was too late. Jon made his shot, the cue ball hitting the eight ball into the hole, making him the winner.
"Looks like I won. And that means you, sweetheart, will have to wear my little fashion line." Jon teased and I flipped him off.
"Cheater." I simply said and he just smiled, which I returned as I didn't take any offense to this. "But I'm not going to be a sore loser. Actually I'm excited to be sporting some Dean Ambrose fashion." I smirked as we grabbed our jackets and Jon paid the bill.
"What a good sport." He said as we began to leave the restaurant.
Tonight's WWE house show had ended, nothing really spectacular happened. I just had a match against Saraya, which I won. Of course I had a confrontation with Nikki, but I punched her in the mouth and walked out. Jon had a match against Cesaro, which ended up in a disqualification due to Windham (Bray Wyatt) getting involved and attacked him. And just before anyone asks, yes I wore a "Dean Ambrose" related clothing item to my match. In fact, I had bought few items from the merch stand because why not. I did get weird looks and questioned about it, but I just shrugged and gave them a smile.
Right now, Jon and I are heading to a restaurant that Trinity and Jonathan (Jimmy Uso) had invited us to join them for dinner. It was nice of them to invite us, so we decided to go. As we made the drive, I couldn't help but think about Jon kissing me earlier at the pool hall. I never thought that my first kiss would be that great and I just wish I had participated, but maybe there will be a next time. Jon pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant and shut off the car. I unbuckled my seat belt and took a last look at myself before my stomach growled. I chuckled and so did Jon since he heard it too. We got out of the car and headed inside. I began to feel like Trinity had something up her sleeves, but brushed it off.
The host greeted us and then guided us to the table that Trinity and Jonathan reserved, as we followed behind him. I saw Trinity and waved to her, but once we arrived to her table, I saw that Nattie, Rosa, Joshua, Brie, and Bryan (Daniel Bryan) were here too all smiling.
"Happy Birthday, Adrienne!" They all cheered and I stumbled back a little bumping into Jon from behind.
"W-what?" I asked in surprise, not knowing what was going on.
Everyone got up from their seats and gave me a hug, which I returned each and one of them. I looked at Jon and he just shrugged his shoulders but smiled before sitting down. Trinity came up to me to give me a hug.
"Happy Birthday, boo!" She said after she pulled back from the hug.
"Thanks. Did you plan this?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yes, well with Jonathan's help. I just wanted you to enjoy your special day with the people who care about you. And besides, no one should ever not celebrate their birthday. Oh and Ambrose here knew about this" She said and winked.
I faced Jon and punched his shoulder lightly before smiling and sitting down beside him. I was really happy that today has turned out pretty special. I mean with Jon and I hanging out at the pool hall to this surprise birthday dinner that Trinity and Jonathan had planned. Not only that, I was happy that I had people come out to celebrate my birthday with me for the first time ever. Even the fact that Nattie and Rosa had come although we were having a disagreement, it was nice that we could put that aside just have a nice time together.
The waiter took the menu from all of us after we had ordered our meals for the night and walked away. I smiled at the fact that everyone was enjoying themselves and I was too.
"Thank you guys for this. It's been a very long time since I had celebrated my birthday with anyone. I really appreciate this so much. Dean took me out earlier this afternoon and we played pool and now this. I must be one lucky girl tonight." I said and smiled, truly appreciating everything right now.
"It's no problem Uce. It's the least we can do for you." Jonathan smiled and Joshua nodded.
I looked over to Jon since he hasn't said much, but he would smile and squeeze my thigh to reassure me that he was fine and to tell me to enjoy myself.
"You should open your gifts now, girly." Nattie said as she and the other pushed their gifts in front of me.
"Awe you guys, you didn't have to get me gifts. This dinner party is just perfect alone." I said being completely honest.
"Oh hush you. Let us spoil you just for the night." Rosa teased and my cheeks began to feel hot because of me blushing.
"All right, all right." I smiled and began to open one gift at a time.
The first gift I opened was from Brie and Bryan. They got me some knitting needles and some fancy yarn. Knitting is one of my hobbies, so I was happy about this gift. Nattie and Rosa handed me their gifts which had lots of bath essentials since they knew I love me a nice bubble bath to relax. Trinity, Jonathan, and Joshua got me a bottle of Moscato wine and a little spa gift set. Next it was Jon who was handing me a gift bag. I was surprised only because he had already treated me earlier at the bar and grille with the pool table. I gave him a look and he nodded with a smirk, telling me to open it. I smiled and pulled out a grey slouch beanie, scarf, and some Batman comics. All of these gifts were fantastic and I immediately thank each and every one of them also giving them a hug. I also gave Jon a kiss on the cheek as my thank you, while everyone else wasn't paying attention.
Soon the waiter brought our meals out and we began to eat while chatting. Even Jon had participated a little more, which definitely made me happy. All in all this day has been one of the best days of my life in a long time. Hell, it was the best birthday I have spent in forever and I was just thankful to have friends to celebrate it with.
