The next morning I woke up,for the first time in a long time,happy. I slept quite contentedly. The only thing that nagged at me was that I wouldn't sleep in Dean's room because of what people would think. I made the resolution to myself to stop giving a fuck what other people thought of me.
I was in such good spirits that not even the annoying task of packing up my hotel room bothered me. After double checking that I had packed everything,I opened my door intending to go have breakfast. When I opened the door Dean was standing there poised to knock.
''Good morning.'' I smiled.
''Good morning,love. You left this in my room last night.'' He handed me the bra I had been wearing.
''Oh,thanks. I was about to go down and get some breakfast,come with me?''
''I'd love to.''
Dean and I took the elevator down to the dining room,got some food and sat down at a table for two.
''So,Jane,aren't you worried someone will see us together?'' Dean said jokingly.
''No,I'm not. I've decided not to care what people think of me anymore. The reason I didn't want people seeing me leave your room was because I didn't want people to think that I'm a slut. I didn't want them to think that I was the new girl who was only there to bang the Superstars. I know that I'm not like that and if that's their judgment,so be it.''
''Well said,babe. I'm proud of you. You'll be a lot happier not giving a shit,trust me,I am.''
''Anyway,last night was amazing.''
''It really was. I had a hard time sleeping because I wanted you next to me,though.''
''Sorry. I promise,next time I'll stay.'' I smiled.
''Good.''
We finish our breakfast and go back to our respective rooms to get our things. We had to leave in an hour to be on our way to Las Vegas. As I was leaving my room with the luggage cart to go to the lobby,an annoying voice stopped me dead in my tracks.
''Hello,Jane. You and Dean looked awfully happy at breakfast,both of you wearing an afterglow of sorts.''
''Hello,AJ. I trust you remembered to pack your anti-psychotic meds,at least,I hope you did.''
''I get it,because I'm crazy. I'm not gonna let someone like you calling me crazy bother me,Janie.''
Her calling me 'Janie' made me want to bitch slap her,but I refrained.
''What do you want,AJ?''
''I just wanted to let you know what you're getting into with Dean Ambrose.''
''What the hell are you talking about?''I said tiredly. Just being in the same room with AJ wears me out.
''Oh nothing. Just that Dean has some anger issues.''
''I already knew that.''
''Really?Well did you know that there was a Diva about to come to the roster before you? Yeah,she was very promising at NXT...until she started dating Dean. She started showing up a little limpy,like it was hard for her to walk. One day she showed up with big bruises on her shoulders,about the size of a man's hand.''
I just stared at her,not sure what to make of her story.
''Then one day we heard a little commotion in their hotel room. After a long night of sick,sexual torture,she decided to start fighting back. She tried hitting Dean with a chair,it only made him angry. He punched her repeatedly in the head before she got free and left. She never told anyone else what happened so Dean never got fired.''
''Are you done?''
''Just one more thing. See,I know Dean's sick,dark side,I've been at the mercy of it. I took the same sexual torture that poor girl did,only I enjoyed it.'' She said with a sick smile.
''I don't believe a single word you say,AJ.''
''Well you better believe,honey.'' She said and skipped away. I wanted to go after her and beat the living shit out of her but I kept my anger in check.
I continued downstairs and went out to put my things in the bus.
''Hey Jane,we're about to head out,you wanna ride with us?''
''Oh hey Kaitlyn. That depends will AJ be with you?''
''Oh God no,it's just me,Nattie and Tyson.''
''Yeah,umm,just let me go say bye to Dean...even though I'll see him in a few hours.''
''Go on.'' Kaitlyn laughed.
''Hey! Roman,do you know where Dean is?''
''Yeah I think he's upstairs,he forgot something in his room.''
''Thanks Ro.'' I ran up to Dean's room and knocked on the door.
I heard a little yelling and then something hit against a wall. After a minute of Dean not opening the door I opened it myself. What I saw was Dean sitting on the edge of the bed with a towel wrapped around his hand.
''Dean?''
''Oh,shit,Jane,hi.''
''What happened?''
He sighed.
''My home in Cincinnati has been foreclosed.''
''Oh god,I'm sorry.''
''See,every month I would send money to my mom,to help with rent and food and I also sent my mortgage payment,she told me if I sent her the money she would go pay it for me. Turns out she's been using the money to gamble and score coke with. That was her on the phone. I can't believe I was stupid enough to trust her. The wall took the brunt of my anger,by the way.''
I went over to him on the bed and hugged him and kissed his cheek.
''She's your mother,it's your instinct to trust her.''
''Yeah but with her I should've known better,if I couldn't trust her as a kid I don't know what made me trust her now.''
''Well,you're a big time wrestler now,you can buy a new house.''
''I know,it's just that that was the first stable investment I ever made.''
''I'm sorry.'' I said again.
''The second stable investment I've ever made,of course,was you.''
''Oh Dean.'' I said with a smile.
''It's true. Anyway,we probably ought to be going.''
''Yeah,Kaitlyn's waiting for me,I'm gonna ride with her,Natalya and Tyson,I came up here to tell you bye.''
''Oh,okay,you'd better get down then. I'll see you in Vegas.'' He kissed my lips and I got up.
''Wait,Jane?''
''Yeah,Dean?''
''Thanks for being there for me just now,it meant a lot. I...I love you.''
''Oh Dean,I love you too.'' I walk back over to him and wrap my arms around his neck and kissed him.
''So,that's that,I'm in love. I hope it doesn't turn out the way all my other relationships have.''
My mind went to that possibly made up girl AJ was talking about.
''It won't,sweetie. I promise.'' I kiss his lips again and go down downstairs to leave for Vegas.
