...Smackdown Taping...
-Backstage-
Shelby and Rosa walked into the building both pulling their bags along. Shelby sighed as she looked down at her phone. Dean had left a message.
Dean's Message:
We still need to talk Shelz please call me we can't leave things the way they are now.
Shelby put her phone in her pocket.
"Who was that?" Rosa questioned noticing Shelby glancing at the phone.
"Dean." Shelby sighed
"Oh I see... so what are you going to do about him?" Rosa asked
"I don't know Rosa.. I'm just so confused right now." Shelby sighed
"Yeah... the whole Wade thing doesn't help things either does it." Rosa shook her head damn her friend had one complicated life.
"No it doesn't... I don't know what to do Rosa." Shelby let out a sigh as she saw Wade walking their way. "Just great." Shelby shook her head
Wade smiled at Shelby and Rosa as he approached them. "Hello Ladies." Wade smiled
"Hey." Rosa and Shelby said in unison.
"I was thinking I could talk to my manager.. alone." Wade said
"Sure... I guess so." Rosa said "If you need me I'll be in the locker room." Rosa smiled and walked off.
Shelby smiled slightly at Wade. "What did you want to talk about?" Shelby asked
Wade looked down at his feet a second then back to Shelby. "I was wondering how your... uh... talk went with Dean last night?" Wade raised a brow.
Shelby sighed "Well... it went all right I guess.." Shelby said she didn't really think it was a good idea to tell him what happened.
"I see... you don't sound to convincing." Wade looked her up and down. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing... we just brought up some things maybe we should of kept in the past." Shelby said.
Wade nodded "I see."
Shelby looked up at Wade "Dean told me something last night... about you."
Wade crossed his arms over his chest and raised a brow. "Is that right?... what would that be?" Wade questioned
"He told me that..." Shelby shook her head and sighed "He told me that you... you admitted to him that you got creative to use me as your manager... that you were using this storyline to get close to me."
Wade sighed and uncrossed his arms running a hand through his hair. " He told you all of that?" Wade shook his head damn that man Dean Ambrose.
"Is it true?" Shelby questioned
Wade sighed and nodded there was no point in lying to her he just needed to come out with it now. "Yes.. it is.. in a way... "
"So this was a way to get in my pants?..." Shelby shook her head and turned around and started to walk away but Wade grabbed her arm and swung her around to face him.
"Shelby... that isn't my intention... I swear... I just wanted to get to know you... and I figured if we were working closely then we would..." Wade was cut off by Shelby.
"Why didn't you tell me... why did you keep this from me?... why wouldn't you just tell me you were the reason I was on the main roster?" Shelby shook her head
"I didn't want you to think what your thinking now... that I was just looking to get you in bed... because I'm not... I really do want to get to know you Shelby." Wade sighed "From the moment I saw you... I knew there was something about you... I can't explain it Shelby but I just knew there could be something between us... there is a connection Shelby I felt it from the moment I laid eyes on you..."
Shelby shook her head and looked up "I... I need to get ready for tonight..." Shelby shook head and walked away she needed to think right now.
Wade sighed and shook his head Wade clinched his fist as Dean walked up he wanted to punch Dean right in the face.
"What's the matter Barrett... you look like someone just stole your lunch money." Dean laughed.
"What do you want Ambrose?" Wade rolled his eyes.
"Shelby... " Dean said "I need to see her... where is she... I haven't been able to get ahold of her." He didn't want to let him know Shelby was dodging his calls.
"Well... she obviously doesn't want to speak to you... so you should back off." Wade said
"Why so snappy Barrett... oh... she told you about our little conversation didn't she?... did she tell you about the kiss too?" Dean smirked
Wade's eyebrows arched "What kiss?" Wade raised a brow
Dean laughed "Oh... boy well let me tell you.. she still has the softest and sweetest lips I've ever felt.. or tasted." Dean grinned "Not that you'll ever know anything about that."
Wade bawled his fist up.
"Oh... did I strike a nerve?" Dean laughed
"You did a lot more then that Ambrose... you think by tell Shelby that I got creative to bring her in as my manager is going to deter me... your wrong Ambrose... all that is has done is put it out of the way.. Shelby will see that I'm not after anything..."
"Just her panties." Dean said
"The only thing I want from Shelby is to get to know her better... she'll see that... don't you worry." Wade shook his head and walked off before he got to angry.
"You keep thinking that." Dean yelled after Wade laughing.
