Chapter 33

On Monday we left for Raw together with most of our wedding guest. Some had left on Sunday already, but Joe, Colby, Bryan, Claudio and Jon left together today. And I was with them.

I was really excited about this trip. I was never on tour with Jon and the guys and we would try to figure out if this could work.

On the plane to Greenville Jon and I had the first real chance to talk about everything.

"It is all really unreal to me still." I looked at my wedding ring, twisted it around my finger. The ring was small, no real eye catcher at first sight, but it was beautiful. And it had cost a fortune. But it didn't look it at first. It represented us really well. By now Jon was wealthy, not rich, but he had saved a lot of money over the years and the last year with the Shield had made his nest egg grow even more. But he still walked around most of the time in cheap shirts and a jeans. Everything luxurious in his life was not flashy but low key fancy. Okay, his car was flashy. But the ring. Nope. Not fancy at first sight.

And apart from that we lived a really down to earth lifestyle.

So, now in the relative quiet of the plane it all came crashing down on me.

"It is real Sam. Us. This." He looked at his ring, really simple and I guess he hated wearing a ring, but not this one. This one had a meaning, even to a guy like Jon who didn't give a fuck about labels and customs. But this ring he wore with a certain amount of pride.

"To be honest: I have no clue how a marriage works Sam, so please bear with me while I figure this out."

I laughed out loud. "Neither do I but between the two of us we will make it work."

I leaned over and kissed him. When I leaned back I kept his face in my hands and looked in his eyes.

"You know how it works Jon. Damn you BOUGHT us a house. You, the born nomad, who never even signs long term lease contracts bought a house."

Jon touched his neck, visibly uncomfortable with what I just pointed out.

"You bought us a home." I whispered and kissed him again.

"Even if we move and travel all the time, we have now a place where we can always return to. Thank you my husband."

"It makes me itchy on one hand. We own a freaking house now, but on the other hand it is like you said. We got one constant in our lives now and even if everything around us changes all the time, Tahoe is a constant now. Like you."

He kissed my hand and gave me a secret smile.

"Is it morning already?" asked a startled Colby who sat next to Jon and had been asleep for the last hour. Now he looked around wide eyed.

"Relax pup, still an hour away from the airport." Jon told him and Colby relaxed back in his seat, grinning to himself about us newly weds.

We arrived in Greenville and Colby went to rent a car and I went with him.

"We basically take any big car, we are not picky. It has to be big enough for all our stuff, so any van or SUV should work fine. We got a Jeep today. We don't take a hotel at the first town of the tour but in the second because we go there directly after the event that night."

"Got it." I said and pretended to write everything down.

What I really did was practicing my new signature.

Samantha Good

"What are you writing down there?" Colby took my notebook away from me before I could react.

"That's a whole fucking page with your signature. You plan to become famous?" "Nooo. I have to practice for all the paperwork I have to do. By the way. There will be probably someone calling you from the USCIS to verify that the marriage is no green card scam."

"Oh let them call. I will tell them the truth." He laughed evilly. I boxed him in the arm as we walked to the rental car.

"Don't worry Sam, when they talk to the two of you they will find out that this is a love marriage. Have no worries."

We packed our stuff in and Colby drove to the terminal to pick up Joe and Jon who were swarmed by fans.

Colby helped them getting their stuff in and once the doors were closed Jon of course had to bitch.

"What the hell took you so long. We were practically eaten alive out there. You simply can't go out in public with the big guy, he draws too much attention!"

"We had a quickie on the backseat." I pointed out.

"Good thing Colby is so flexible the little ninja." Jon mumbled and I turned around from the front grabbing his hand. "I'm making fun, you know that, right?" "Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here so calmly."

"Who made her ride shot gun anyways?" Joe said from the backseat and I grinned.

"Backseats are a bit tight, huh?" Colby grinned and drove us to the arena.

"I ride shot gun next time." Joe pointed out and Colby made a horrific face.

"What? No!" First: I like Sam up front here with me. Second: They are newly weds Joe, you really want them on the backseat together, at night?"

Joe glanced from Jon to me, I could feel his eyes bore into my head.

"Good point. Put them both in the front and let us sit in the back Colby."

"Oh yay, fun! Rolleigns slash!" I clapped my hands and smiled and got a "SHUT UP!" from all three guys.

We arrived at the arena and got out of the car.

We were behind a fence, and there were a handful of people waiting. We had kept the marriage quiet for now and wanted to wait for a while before telling the fans.

"SHIELD! SETH! ROMAN! DEAN!" the girls screamed when they saw the Hounds and I looked at Jon. "You normally walk right in?" "Yup. They can get really crazy." He told me and I couldn't really see the harm in 7 girls and 3 guys behind a 7 food high fence.

"SAM!" One girl shouted and I had to turn around. They guys were mostly deaf to those calls and Jon swore silently.

"I..." looking at him I knew I had made a mistake by reacting and Jon looked at his partners. "I will teach her, I swear. Do you mind?"

They both shock their heads and all four of us walked up the fence.

I later learned that they normally don't react to the calls because if they do look but don't walk over fans usally thought they were rude for not coming over. Well, on that first day I didn't know any better.

They boys started on one end and I walked up to the girl who had shouted out to me.

"Oh hey Sam. I'm Chelle. It is so cool to meet you." she said and was bouncing up and down.

"Hi Chelle, nice to meet you, too." I replied a bit out of words.

"They came to us because you told them to, right? Thanks. Jon is my favorite, you know? Look." She opened her jacket and she wore a "Explicit Mox Violence" Shirt."

"Wow, long time that I saw one of those." It was Jon and Chelle was bouncing up and down even harder.

"I got it ages ago at a CZW event. Jon, us Indy fans, we are all so proud of you. Can we make a photo?" "Yeah, sure." he replied and I took the camera from Chelle.

"This will look really awkward because of the fence." I said but Chelle didn't care.

"Thank you so much, both of you."

Jon walked up to the next girl, who proudly announced that her name is Sam, or Sami, as well.

That's what made me walk up to her.

"Nice name." I pointed out and the girl smiled. "Yeah, it's like Sam and Dean from that TV show, Supernatural." she grinned and Jon flashed me a smile. That was the reason he picked the name Dean Ambrose from the suggestions WWE had for him.

"What do you have there?" my husband asked and pointed to the folder in her hand.

"Oh, I am an artist, I draw stuff, you want to take a look?"

"Sure."

Soon all three guys and the fans looked at her artwork and were impressed. The guys even signed an especially beautiful drawing of them and made Sami's day.

Jon and the rest said their goodbyes and we went inside.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." I said again and again. "But you know, I was one of them. Well I didn't stalk anyone, I didn't wait in front of arenas, but I know how it is to be a fan. And every little bit counts for them."

"Well, your intentions are good Sam, but those guys out there, they meet famous people regularly. They wait in front of every hotel and arena they can travel to. They are pros, just like the people at the airports. You rarely meet a fan by chance." Colby pointed out. "Chelle and Sami were really happy to meet you and I will look for those who meet you by chance and make their dreams come true. "

"That is a noble plan." Someone said behind me and I turned around to come face to face with Stephanie McMahon.

" I wanted to be among the first to congratulate you on your marriage. Jon, Samantha." She shook our hands. "Thanks." Jon mumbled and put his hands back in his pockets.

"I wanted to talk to you Samantha. Jon when you join us in the TV office after you got your stuff out of the way?" "Sure."

Jon grabbed his case and my bag and left me with the daughter of the fucking owner of the company.

Okay Sam, straighten your back this counts.

"Come with me." I followed Stephanie through a maze of catacombs, until we arrived in the TV office, which was her real office on the road.

Oh joy, guess who waited in there? Yes, The Game. Okay, Now I was intimidated.

"Please sit. Hunter, this is Samantha Good."
"Oh yeah, right. Congratulations Samantha." "Thank you Hunter?" I asked and he smiled. "Hunter works fine, Paul is okay as well. We wanted to talk to you a moment alone if that is okay."

"Umm, sure." I answered him but I had an uneasy feeling about this. Not because I had to face the Authority alone, but that they didn't want Jon in on this.

Hunter nodded and started: "Okay. We don't take outsiders so easily backstage and behind the scenes of this business. Usually they stay on the sidelines still glancing in from the outside. Jon asked us a while ago, if we think we could work out a job for you. The guy has balls, he basically wanted us to invent a job for you. So we did. Because we appreciate your influence on Jon. He is not always the most popular guy backstage and he is not always the easiest guy to be around. You grounded him and we see that and support that. He also is not good with new people, he hates PR stuff as you know. So, we are thinking about letting you do the Shields PR work, accompany them to interviews outside, managing their schedules and stuff. We already talked to Joe and Colby because it would affect them as well and they agreed to it, no surprise there. If at one point the Shield splits, we have to go from there. It is a risky decision Samantha. If you bring any personal stuff on the job it would get really awkward.

So you have to check any argument out at the door and be a professional here. You don't know this business and we would like to leave the status quo as it is, you will train with the PR assistant who manages the boys right now and learn what there is to learn. We will put you through a couple of seminars, especially about how you put yourself out there. I saw your stunt outside today. They, the Shield, follows you which is good but those fans were tame. There will be fans who will call you names and I can only imagine Jon's reaction to that. But it is something you have to face anyway so I am sure you will figure it out. So let's try this out for the time being and you will get your chance in time. You haven't gotten your green card yet anyways, right?"

"No, we are waiting for the finalization."

"Okay. Good. So Samantha. All in all, your most important job is to keep Jon in line. He has potential if he keeps his focus. Take care that he does."

"Sorry to say that but you are wrong Hunter." He raised an eyebrow. "He is focused and he gives this 120%. He is good, he is clean and he trains harder than anyone I know. He could and would do this on his own. Don't belittle him. He is a selfmade man and he will make it, with me or without me. With me he just gets sex every night, that is all I do. He needs no one to keep him in line."

Hunter chuckled and there was a tap on the door and Jon entered.

"Ahhh, Jon, congratulations. We are really happy for the two of you." Jon entered warily and looked reserved.

"Thank you Hunter. You talked with Sam about the job?" "Yes, she will start training today and we will go from there. Everything is like we discussed. You should go and find Mark or Jane probably about the storyline for tonight."

Okay, and with that he dismissed us. Jon took my hand and we walked out of the office.

He dragged me to a quiet corner and sat me down on a box.

"Okay, what is this?" I asked.

"I heard what you said to them. That I would make it on my own. You belittle yourself Sam. I almost hate every single person who walks around here. You working with me, being my PR assistant, that will make my life easier. It will keep me in line. But..." he grabbed my left hand, kissed my wedding ring. "Thank you for your loyalty. And please never tell the Authority again that I keep you around just for the sex. That is ridiculous. I keep you for the sex and the house work you do." "Ass."I slapped his chest but kissed him deeply. "I love you too, you know." I whispered.

They guys had to do two interviews with local newspapers and I got to sit in and learn a bit about media and stuff. It was interesting but also so much new stuff, that my head almost exploded. Jon noticed and took me aside. "Why don't you find yourself a TV and watch our segment there. Take a brake Sam. No one expects you to learn everything in one day. Never loose the fun in this." He stroked my cheek gently. "I need to get ready. Go, enjoy yourself." "I will." I promised and went looking for a TV set.

I found one where Tyler Breeze already followed the live show.

"Hey Tyler." I greeted him and he recognized me. "Hey Sam. Nice to see you again. What are you doing here?" "I might have a chance to work for the company. As a media liaison for the Shield. I have a couple minutes off to watch their segment." "That sounds great. Congratulations." "Thanks." I smiled and that's when he noticed my ring. "Oh, what is that? Show me!" He grabbed my hand.

"You're married?" he asked astonished. "Yes, Saturday." I grinned like a maniac now.

"Then congratulations again." He hugged me.

"Thanks. Oh, there they are!" I pointed to the TV and got to watch an segment in the ring, where my guys trash talked Evolution. And God, Jon is so good on the microphone, it is fun to watch him.

"One day, I want to have the mic skills your man got. Truly amazing" Tyler said impressed.

"I will let him know...when his ego needs a boost." Tyler laughed and I grinned. He was easy being around.

"I am glad I found another friendly face around here."

"I would say everyone is friendly around you with three intimidating bodyguards." Tyler looked behind me and I turned around to find my guys smiling at me.

"You really ruin it for me making friends."

"Just looking out for you Sammy." Colby pointed out.

"Well, do it a little less intimidating." I pointed out and told Tyler goodbye.

"Tyler, huh?" Jon asked and I took his hand and squeezed it once. "I like him, he is nice. So be nice, please. And by the way: Back to business. Your match is the last one, and it's right after the Divas Match. You will have to leave for the crowd entrance when the Daniel Bryan segments ends. The Divas match is scheduled for 7 minutes so you have about 10 minutes to go to your spot."

Joe and Colby applauded. "Well, well. You did good." Jon kissed my temple softly. "So proud Sam." he whispered and I bowed.

And that's how my first day at the possible new job turned out. It went well but I knew there would be also setbacks. But I was willing to face the obstacles with Jon at my side.
