''Come on,I have to go to the arena with you.''
''Dean,I can't let you do that babe,the doctor said you need to rest.''
''Fuck what doc Sampson said!''
''I want you there,too. Look,I'll call him and ask if you're okay to go.''
I call doc Sampson and he said it would probably be okay if Dean came. Thank God,I didn't want to keep arguing with him,and I wanted him there too. This was a big night.
We get to the arena,I give Dean a kiss and he goes off to find Seth and Roman. I was glad he had friends like them,I know he never had too many good friends growing up.
''Hi Jane.'' Stephanie smiled as she walked towards me.
''Hey Steph,it's good to see you.''
''Are you excited?''
''Beyond. I still can't believe I'm getting this opportunity so soon.''
''Well,everyone at talent relations really likes you and thought you deserved it. Dad likes you too.''
Holy shit,Vince McMahon? I had to stop myself from grinning like an idiot,I had to keep my composure.
''Wow,that's insane. I'm glad I'm doing a good job for this company.''
''Well,you should go start getting ready,I'll talk to you later.'' She said and walked away.
I go to the locker room and get my gear on. As I was rounding the corner to head backstage,AJ walked out in front of me.
''What do you want?'' I ask her.
''Oh nothing,just to wish you luck in your match.''
''Right. I don't need luck,AJ,I've got skills. I'm gonna kick Layla's ass tonight and when I finally get the chance,on whatever pay-per-view it may be on,I'm gonna kick yours for the Divas Championship. Believe that.'' I smirked at her and walked away. I was starting to act like Dean now,this thought made me smile.
I hang around backstage with Dean,the boys and Kaitlyn until my match. Seth and Kaitlyn really were a cute couple,and not just because they have matching hair.
I was warned that I had two minutes until I went out.
''Good luck baby girl.''Dean smiled and kissed me.
Kaitlyn hugged me and wished me luck. Seth and Roman gave me a fistbump.
I go stand behind the curtain,sending up a prayer. My music hits and I walk out. I couldn't believe the crowd was cheering for me,I still can't get used to it.
I get into the ring and throw up the horns,something I adopted from Kaitlyn. I also point a finger to the sky,thanking God for this opportunity. I look straight into the camera and smile and blow a kiss,knowing that Dean was watching me backstage. Then Layla comes out. I don't necessarily hate Layla,but I don't really like her either,so I had no problem beating the crap out of her.
Our match gets started. Layla starts off with her high flying jumping off the ropes stuff and knocks me on my ass. I get up and we have a standoff,neither one of us moving,then she slaps me. I kick her in the stomach and push her down into a headlock. Somehow she gets out of it and stands up and kicks my thigh. When she turns around from her gloating and smiling at the camera,I grab her arm and give her an arm breaker. She gets up and flees to the corner of the ring. Perfect. I run and jump with a Superman Punch Roman would be proud of.
With a sudden burst of energy,Layla gets away from the corner of the ring and attempts her Nasty Kick,intending on ending the match. However,I grab her leg mid-kick and counter with a headlock driver. It's over,I won. The crowd went crazy.
''Jane Moxley is the number one contender for the Divas championship!''Michael Cole exclaimed.
I was overcome with emotion. Dean,Seth and Roman run out from backstage and jump into the ring,Dean hugged me first,he actually picked me up and hugged me. Seth and Roman joined in,now a group hug. This brought tears to my eyes,the guys didn't really even have to be there tonight but they still came and they still ran out to congratulate me. I was glad that Seth and Ro came with the Dean Ambrose package,I knew they were two of my best friends. With Dean and Seth on either side of me,they held my arms up in victory,Roman pointing to me and yelling 'The next Divas Champ!'
Finally our mini in-ring victory party ended and we made our way backstage.
''Well,Jane,what do you have to say for yourself?'' Roman asked,smiling.
''I don't know,I'm speechless,I can't believe I won.''
''We knew you would win,babe.'' Dean smiled.
''Listen Jane,none of us are gonna be on Smackdown tomorrow since we'll all be headed to Iowa,my home state,of course. Kaitlyn and I are gonna throw you a victory party.''
''Aw,guys,you don't have to.''
''We want to.'' Kaitlyn said and hugged my neck.
''I'm so glad I have friends like y'all.''
'' 'y'all' ? What,does sweet sweet victory make that Southern accent of yours come out?'' Seth joked.
I just stuck my tongue out at him.
''We'd love to stick around but we have a date. We'll see you later girl.''Seth said with a hug.
''Bye guys!''
''I'm gonna get back to the hotel and start packing. Congrats again,Jane,you earned it.''
''Thanks Ro.''
So once again it was just Dean and I alone backstage. In a random moment of tenderness,Dean kissed me very softly,his arms wrapped around me. He propped his chin on the top of my head,us still holding one another.
''Roman was right,you do deserve this,honey,more than anyone else. I'm so proud of you.''
I pulled away from him and looked up at him.
''Thank you.''
''Have I ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?''
I shook my head.
''They are. They're like emeralds. I could spend all day looking into them.'' He said with another soft kiss.
''Listen,you go get changed and we'll head back. I'm going to express to you how much I love you.''
''Okay.''
I head to the locker room and change. I was looking forward to spending the night in bed with Dean,making love. I was glad that Dean has decided to show me his softer side,that side of him suits him well.
