Athena paced beside the ring her eyes focused on the in ring action. She watched as Dolph dived onto Seth's back holding him in a sleeper hold and she found herself placing her hands on the mat shouting encouragement to Dolph to keep it locked in. She slammed her hands down on the mat as Seth's arm's flayed about in a desperate attempt to throw Ziggler off.
Seth finally broke free and Athena ran a hand through her tumbling auburn locks as they grappled back and forth before jumping up and down in celebration as Ziggler hit his famouser on Seth. He rolled Seth's legs up for the pin.
Athena bounced in anticipation.
Seth kicked out on two count and Athena slammed her hands down in frustration. She could hear the commentators talking about her, about how she was supposed to be supporting her 'boyfriend' Seth Rollins, and what was going through my mind by cheering on Ziggler.
The two fighting men struggled to their feet as Athena folded her arms across her chest and watched on with narrowed eyes willing the match to end so she could get a million miles of distance between Seth and herself.
Seth flipped off the ropes but Ziggler moved and Seth landed on his feet; Ziggler slid behind Seth and tried to roll him up for the pin. Once again Seth kicked out. As the two men got up Ziggler looked to hit the DDT but Seth caught him and lifted him high before running and throwing him into the turn-buckle.
Athena hissed at what she knew would be agonising pain.
Pulling himself up by the ropes Seth made his way over to Ziggler and began throwing heavy punches into his head, over and over again until the ref managed to get him off his prey. Seth dragged Ziggler to his knees and flipped him up as if he were going to power bomb him, only for him to run forward and throw him into the turn-buckle once again.
Ziggler fell forward on his knees and Seth seized the opportunity and rushed against the ropes running forward and curb stomping Ziggler's face into the mat.
Athena covered her mouth in horror as she watched on helplessly.
Seth fell to his knees and was about to flip Ziggler over for the pin when Dean slid into the ring, fists flying everywhere.
The bell rang as Ziggler was disqualified for Dean's interruption as Dean pummelled his fists into Seth's head. Athena watched with her hands on her hips, pleased Dean was getting the better of Seth.
Dean stood kicking Seth and at the first opportunity Seth pitifully rolled out of the ring as Dean's jacket fell down his arms as he stomped around the ring, his face screaming insanity.
Seth ran up the aisle screaming for Athena to join him.
"Come here! Attie," he screamed as he staggered up the ramp.
Athena stood at the bottom of the ramp, her eyes slowly flicking between Dean and Seth. She watched as Dean's cold eyes bulged from his head and he stared Seth down with murderous intent.
As Dean demanded a mic Athena remembered Steph's silent threat and slowly began to make her way up the ramp, walking past a panting Seth and disappeared behind the curtain without a backwards glance.

What was that consistent squeaking? And what was that slapping noise? Athena cracked a bleary eye and stared sleepily at the plain wallpaper of the hotel, shifting to pull the quilt tighter around herself she let her eyes flutter back closed.
For a second.
A loud wail forced her to snap her eyes wide open and she awoke fully with a start. Overzealous moans filled her ears and she sat up quickly, her mouth falling open in shock as she saw her hotel roommate, Alicia, panting whilst Curtis Axel pounded mercilessly.
"So I'm going to leave," Athena mumbled picking up her phone and rushing from the room, hearing the two grunting athletes laughing at her as she disappeared.
Closing the hotel door, she leaned against it whilst she thought of her next move. Naomi had a few days off and was back in Florida so she couldn't sleep in her room; Nattie would take her in, but she didn't know what room she was in and there was no guarantee that she'd answer her phone at, she checked her phone miserably, one A.M.
She only had one other option. Roman.
Athena knew he'd have no problem with her rooming with him for the night but he still shared a room with Dean and Athena had successfully avoided Dean for days. Since their kiss.
She groaned inwardly as Roman's phone went straight to voicemail, destroying her hope of him sneaking her in without Dean knowing. Athena began to stomp through the hotel heading to Roman and Dean's room; Dean wouldn't be there, she told herself. He'd be at a bar, or already in bed with some random skanky looking rat and she could pass by to bunk down on Roman's floor unnoticed.
Knocking the door hard she tapped her foot nervously as she waited for Roman to answer. A minute went by and she knocked hard on the door once again for the door to swing open seconds later.
Dean stood there smirking at her, his cold blue eyes sparkling and he stood in a pair of knee length dark shorts and was shirtless. Athena swallowed hard as her wide blue eyes trailed down his strong shoulders, across his broad chest, a dusting of light hair covering it, down over his rippling abs. His shorts hung low revealing two perfectly muscular sex lines and a trail of light hair teased its way from his bellybutton down into his dark shorts.
"Red?" Dean's amused voice snapped Athena out of her haze and she was suddenly aware that she was staring! She could feel her cheeks begin to burn as she snapped her blue twinkling orbs up to meet his entertained eyes.
"Is, uh, um," she stammered, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "Roman here?"
Dean pushed the door open wide and took a step back, silently inviting her inside. Hesitantly she stepped inside, letting the door close behind her. Dean scratched his head as he turned the television set off, drenching the room in silence for a mere second before the banging of a headboard ringed through Athena's ears.
"He's a little busy right now," Dean said smirking as he sat down in an armchair that faced Athena.
"Oh," Athena's lips pouted together. "I'll come back." She turned instantly and headed for the front door only for Dean to appear in front of her, his strong arm held out to stop her from opening the door.
"You haven't got any shoes on," he groused out looking her body up and down slowly.
It was only then that Athena realised what she was wearing. She'd rushed out of the room so quickly, she hadn't even bothered to put on a pair of shoes, or a bra. She wore a pair mid-thigh silk purple shorts and a thin white cotton vest that showed her hardening pink nipples treacherously.
Dean licked his lower lip slowly as his eyes brushed across her body and Athena folded her arms across her chest, covering her breasts, as she felt the burn of his stare.
"I had to leave my room quickly," she finally said. "We Divas are not high enough on the totem pole to have a suite with separate bedrooms and a living room, and Alicia decided to get laid." Athena paused for a second. "Whilst I slept in the bed next to her."
Dean chuckled darkly. "She sounds like my type of girl."
"She does, doesn't she?" Athena replied quickly.
Dean nodded his head towards the couch. "Come on, trust me, Roman won't be long," Athena stifled a laugh as she contemplated on staying and waiting for Roman to be finished with his date.
She really didn't want to have to go back to her room where Alicia and Curtis could still be at it, or have to have an uncomfortable conversation with Alicia as she got back into bed. But she didn't want to stay there with Dean either. The air within the room was filled with tension and she was waiting for some cruel remark to spill from his rosebud mouth.
Moving across the room she settled onto the couch slowly watching as Dean bent over and pulled out a beer from the mini bar. He walked lazily towards her and silently held it out for her.
"Thanks," she mumbled pulling the cap off and taking a small sip.
They sat in almost silence for a couple of minutes, the only sound in the room was the repeating banging of Roman's headboard and the occasional loud high pitched moan. Athena stared pointedly at her toes, her fingers gently tapping on her beer bottle as she willed Dean to disappear into his room.
Dean gruff voice broke the almost silence. "You've been avoiding me."
"I always avoid you," she answered quickly, feeling an instant blush creep into her pale cheeks. She looked down and started to pick at the label on her beer bottle uncomfortably.
A grumble of a laugh echoed out of his still bare chest. "You've been avoiding Roman, because of me then." He lounged back into his chair, taking a swig of his beer though his eyes washed hungrily over Athena.
"Bingo," she replied softly still looking down at her feet. "Listen," she said quietly looking up at him with wide deep blue eyes. "Thanks for making sure I got home okay the other night." He stared silently at her, his eyes giving nothing away. She pursed her lips desperate for him to say something. "And I'm sorry about what happened, after."
Dean smirked. "You ain't hearing no complaints from me, darlin'," she looked down and smiled softly to herself, embarrassment washing over her.
An aggressive wail rippled through the wall and both Dean and Athena turned and stared at Roman's bedroom door. "She's faking it," Dean said waving his hand in the air nonchalantly.
"How do you know?" Athena took a swig of her beer.
Dean smiled knowingly. "I know," he said cockily, stretching his arm around the side of the chair, his shoulder muscles rolling with every movement. "You wouldn't hear that fucking faking shit coming from my room."
"Oh yeah?" Athena said relaxing slightly. "I'm pretty sure I've heard something pretty similar coming from your room. Like pretty bang on actually."
"I didn't hear shit coming from your room when you stayed here," Dean responded quickly. "You and Rollin's sleep in separate beds?"
The tension filled the room once again at the mention of Seth's name and they both sat quietly staring at one another. Athena bit her lip nervously and began fiddling with the hem of her shorts as Dean licked his lower lip, his eyes locked on her.
"I am a God," Roman's voice boomed though the living room and Athena snapped her head to find him standing in the doorway, his hair a damp mess with his arms raised in the air in victory. "I am the King of doggie style!"
Athena burst out laughing and Dean let out a dark chuckle as Rosa Mendes slipped past Roman, her hand brushing against his chest as she past. "Later baby," she said her voice deep.
Instantly Athena covered her mouth, her eyes alight with laughter as Rosa closed the door behind her. "You and Rosa?!" She laughed loudly.
"What's with the judgment?" Roman said smiling.
"She's uh, well she's, you know," Athena stuttered.
"Spit it out, red," Dean grumbled.
"She's rough." Athena answered, instantly feeling guilty.
"She's bendy," Roman replied with a smile.
"Ewww, you're gross!" Athena said picking up a cushion and throwing it at Roman.
Roman stretched his arms above his head. "What you doing here anyway, baby girl?" He asked, looking between Athena and Dean.
Dean got up and disappeared into his bedroom as Athena told Roman about Alicia and her rude wake-up call. Roman laughed and said that she could crash on the couch as Dean reappeared from his bedroom carrying a pillow in his hand and a long sleeved shirt now covering his body.
He tossed the pillow on the couch and dropped down on it inches away from Athena. She could smell his aftershave and the smell of a recent cigarette omitting from his pores; Athena crossed her legs anxiously feeling the heat radiating from Dean's body.
"You can crash in my bed," he groused.
"No, that's okay." Athena shook her head quickly. "I'll sleep on the couch."
"I'm going to the gym in a couple of hours anyway," his blue eyes were wide and he nodded towards his bedroom.
Athena frowned uncertain of his intensions. Why was he being nice to her? Why was he offering his bedroom to her, when he could barely stand being around her? "Are you sure?" She asked, nervous it was some joke and she'd wake up in the middle of the night with him fucking some girl next to her or something. Probably Alicia.
He nodded slowly, his tongue poking slightly from his mouth.
"Okay," she said standing quickly. "Goodnight." She disappeared into his room feeling Dean's and Roman's eyes burning into her back.
