The next morning, I did sleep in, but not too late. I did start to stir and I shifted, my hand moving to find the spot next to me empty. I open my eyes slightly to see Dean not there. I didn't hear any water running, and the door to the bathroom was open. I start to look around, only to hear the door to the room open and Dean walks in with breakfast.
"Morning sunshine." He grins.
"So that's where you went. I was beginning to wonder." I say, after sitting up and stretching.
"Yup. I figured you would be hungry when you got up."
"Smart."
Dean sets everything on the table and starts to set it all up.
"I was getting ready to like snuggle with your pillow just seconds before you walked in." I remark as I climb out of bed and walk over.
"Oh really." He says amusedly.
"Yeah, I noticed you weren't there so..."
"Well here I am now." He chuckles, giving me a kiss.
"Exactly, and I don't have to snuggle a pillow."
"Nope." He replies, wrapping me in his arms.
"So, want to make a gym trip today?" He asks.
"Sure, I could use the exercise." I agree.
"Plus if I have a match tonight, I'm definitely gonna want that gym time." I add.
"Right. After breakfast then?"
"Sounds like a plan."
He nods and gives me another kiss. Then he lets me go and the two of us sit down to eat.
"Got the favorites I see."
"Of course."
"I can get used to this every once in a while."
"I think I can handle that." Dean chuckles.
"You know, I wonder if I'll be notified early if I have a match or not. I'd like that to happen, so I can have the whole day to mentally prepare."
"That would be nice."
"But I know how Creative is and they usually change the scripts before the show. Sometimes even at the very last minute."
"Yeah. That does happen."
"I would like to face someone challenging though."
"Right. I know how boring it is when you're against someone who isn't a challenge."
"Exactly...and you have to drag the match out, because you want it to be good."
"Exactly." He nods.
"If I have to go into another match and face Aksana again, I'm gonna go crazy. She's been here since she was on NXT Season 3, when it was the competition show, and she still has not improved."
"I feel bad for you girls that work so hard for having to deal with the ones that are shallow."
"I honestly think she's beyond shallow." I snicker.
"Seems that way." Dean chuckles.
"Should've just left her hair blonde. Dying it black can't hide the fact of her lack of smarts."
He snickers and agrees.
"But of course, being put in a match against her, usually is just to make her look good. I don't like it, but I gotta do it. I've had a fair share of losses to her, that I wasn't too happy about."
"I can't say I would be either."
"She just...irks me."
"Probably irks a lot of people."
"Haven't heard a lot of people complain, but that's because most of the people who like her, I don't like."
He nods, chuckling a bit. A while after that, we finish the breakfast and he throws everything away. I go into my things to find gym clothes, and once I have them, I go into the bathroom to change quick. When I walk out, Dean is in gym clothes as well and he's throwing a few things into a gym bag.
"You know, if I do find out early if I have a match tonight, I think while we're at the arena maybe we could get some in-ring practice with each other. It's been a while since we've done that anyway." I remark as I get my gym bag together.
"That sounds good. Yeah it's been a long time." Dean smiles.
"This is gonna be fun." I smirk.
"Definitely." He smirks back.
"Don't have to worry about going easy on me either. I can take what you dish out."
"I know."
"Only hoping you don't get distracted." I say with amusement in my voice as I pull on a hoodie.
"I will try my best to stay focused." He laughs.
"We'll see about that." I grin as I grab my bag, before turning around and ruffling his hair a bit.
He messes with mine in return.
"Not the hair."
"You started it."
"You're just lucky my hair will be tied up when we get there."
Dean just laughs.
"Ready to go?"
"Yup all set."
I grab his hand and the two of us leave the room, headed for the gym. With Cara and Seth, he was still sleeping, but she was awake this time. And with the grip he had on her, she couldn't really move much. So she had to lay there, not that she minded. She nuzzles his neck a bit and lays one hand over his heart. She feels his heartbeat under her fingers and she smiles softly. When she glances up at him, she sees that his hair is a mess and can't help but giggle. The sound makes him shift and she goes quiet, not wanting to disturb him. Even though he did shift, he didn't wake up yet, and went still and sleeping peacefully. She sighs in relief and lays her head back down. It isn't until much later where he finally starts to stir.
"Morning." She mumbles.
"Morning." He says with a slightly raspy voice.
"I think you were more tired than me this time."
"I wonder why." He smirks.
She blushes.
"You started it."
"It's fun. What can I say." He chuckles.
"Mmhmm. You're insatiable." She teases.
"Yeah, maybe." He nods.
"Can't say I mind."
"Of course not."
"I'm betting that I've probably lost that weight that was being stubborn." I say amusedly.
"And that's a good thing."
"Very good. I have you to thank for that."
"You're welcome." He grins.
"I think having you as a gym buddy is pushing me into probably the best shape I've ever been in."
"Aww. I feel special."
"You are." She smiles softly.
"And so are you."
"Romeo."
"Always."
"I love you so much." She kisses his jaw.
"I love you too."
"How about a nice hot bath? I bet that Jacuzzi tub will feel pretty fantastic." She suggests.
"That sounds like a great idea."
She slips free of his loosened hold and puts on his discarded shirt. She disappears into the bathroom to start the water. Once the water is started, she comes back out into the room, telling him that he can come in since it'll be ready soon. He nods and gets up. She leans on the door frame, watching him.
"Enjoying the view I see." He chuckles.
"Of course. You do it to me too."
"That I do." He nods.
"Like now." She says amusedly as he eyes her legs.
"Can't help myself."
"I know." She giggles, stepping back into the bathroom.
He follows of course, stepping into the bathroom after her, still staring of course. She giggles quietly as she checks the water.
"Ready yet?" He asks.
"Yes." She nods, turning the tap off.
She reaches over and turns the jets on.
"You first." She adds.
Seth nods and gets into the tub. She takes off his shirt she put on and climbs in herself, sitting between his legs. She leans back against his chest, sighing contentedly.
"So relaxing."
"Mmhmm." She agrees.
"Should do this a lot more."
"Sounds like a plan." She giggles.
"What would you like to do after this?"
"Hmm... well breakfast for sure."
"Right, of course."
"Other than that, I'm not sure. I suppose we could go to the gym if you wanted to get a workout in before the Smackdown taping."
"We can do that."
"I don't have any other ideas."
"Hmm maybe we can go to the arena early, hang around...can show you more of my ninja skills as you would call them." He chuckles.
"That sounds fun." She giggles.
"I thought you would agree." He grins.
"You know me well."
"Yes I do."
"I'm pretty sure that I won't have a match tonight."
"Eve's probably insisted that you don't face her again tonight."
"That wouldn't surprise me."
"But that'll just leave more time for us tonight."
"That's the best part about it."
"I couldn't agree more."
She giggles as he starts kissing her neck.
"Like I said, insatiable."
"Another thing I can't help."
"I know Romeo." She giggles, squeezing his thigh gently.
"Of course...you don't help sometimes either." He chuckles.
"Backatcha mister. You drive me crazy too."
"I think I know that."
"Last night was such a time."
"It was, wasn't it?"
"Mmhmm." She murmurs, tilting her head to give him room.
"I thought so."
"Like now." She mutters.
All he does is grin against the skin of her neck before continuing to kiss along it.
"You know this will lead to skipping the gym and a late breakfast if you keep doing...that..." She starts to pause at the end when he begins to nip and suck.
"Oops?" He remarks, pausing for a second.
"You aren't sorry."
"Maybe not."
"Maybe?"
"I just know what gets to you. And it's fun...for me."
"Uh-huh."
"I will keep in mind breakfast and the gym, don't worry."
"If you say so."
"I promise."
"Alright."
"I'll try not to be too distracting." He smirks.
"Hah, you already are."
"My bad."
"You're so proud of that." She says amusedly.
"I am."
"Silly."
"I'll show you silly."
"Oh boy."
"You're in trouble now."
"Sorry?"
"Not gonna work." He chuckles, moving his mouth back to her neck.
"...darn."
He snickers against her neck and she giggles. While he does that with her neck, his hands start to wander as well. She squirms, soft noises escaping her. He just grins against her neck, that reaction being what he wanted as he continues, and she squirms more. Seth goes back to nipping and sucking at her neck. She gasps, tightening her hold on his thigh. After hearing and feeling both those things, he decides to continue, intent on leaving another mark possibly. He knows though that she'll be annoyed if it's big and too dark to cover so he chooses to leave a decent sized light mark beneath her ear. Once he feels that it's going to be forming, he presses a light kiss to the spot before moving away from it. She lays against him for a moment before spinning around. She straddles his lap and gives him a look.
"My turn."
"Uh oh...apologizing won't work for me either will it?"
"Nope."
"Was worth a shot."
"Sure." She shrugs before nipping at his ear.
"Just keep in mind...of breakfast...and the gym...like I did."
"Mmhmm." I mumble absently, moving to his neck in search of a good spot to leave a mark.
His arms have since moved and wrapped around her, holding her tight against him in response. She giggles softly and she gets a soft groan in response. She smiles slightly which only widens when she feels his pulse racing. She sucks gently, knowing she can only leave a light mark. She soothes the area with her tongue before leaning back.
"It'll do."
"The things you do to me."
"Right back at you." She smirks.
"Love you."
"I love you too. Ready to get dressed?"
"Yeah...I'm relaxed enough now."
She laughs softly and climbs out of the tub. She picks up a towel and starts to dry off. As he gets out himself, she grabs a towel for him and hands it to him. He takes it to dry off himself, before wrapping it around himself. She secures her towel as well and we go to get clothes on. They manage to get clothes on with no problems, and she goes back into the bathroom to hang up the wet towels. She does basic hair and makeup, knowing she'll have to do it again after the gym. The only thing she has left to do is put her shoes on and she does that once she comes back out, finding a pair and sitting on the end of the bed to put them on. They get their jackets on and picks up their gym bags. Then they head out to the car. Once in the car, they head off to find a place to eat at. They found a place not too far away, and head in, not having to wait long to be seated. They put their orders in and settle in to wait. She snuggles against Seth's side.
"So after tonight, we have a couple days to ourselves before being on the road again."
"Thank goodness for that."
"So we can go home for those couple of days."
"Sounds good." She agrees.
"At least it won't take long to get there. Just a few cities over."
"Right."
Not too much longer, their orders come to the table after the drinks were brought over. They start eating, stealing from each other's plates like they always do.
"Yours is good." He nods.
"So is yours."
"This is a good place. Might have to come back and try lunch or dinner."
"Oh for sure." He agrees.
She smiles and kisses his cheek.
"Probably not today, because of how busy we will be, but definitely during the week."
"Right. Sounds like a plan."
"It's worth the drive definitely."
"Mmhmm. For sure."
She ends up finishing her food first, leaving only him to finish his.
"Hungry?" He teases.
"Shut up." She swats his arm.
"It was really really good." She adds.
"Sure." He chuckles.
"It was."
"I know. I just like teasing you."
"Just like I like teasing you."
"Yes I know."
It isn't too long after that where he finishes as well. They both wait for the bill and once it comes over, he pays it and then they both get their jackets on and head out. Seth then drives them to the gym. They go get changed into their workout clothes and then meet up at one of the machines.
"We can work together, instead of alone in separate areas this time."
"Sounds like fun." She giggles.
"It will be. Don't get too distracted now."
"Back at you mister."
"I'll do my very best."
"Sure." She laughs.
"As will I." She adds.
"Right. Okay, hop up. You first on this one." He says.
She nods, doing so. She goes through her sets with his encouragement. Once she's done with her sets, he goes through his. Then they move to another machine and repeat the process. They're too busy teasing and encouraging each other to pay much attention to the people around them.
"You're doing great." He grins.
"Having you here is helping."
"Good."
"How are you doing?" She asks Seth as they switch places.
"I'm doing good." He nods.
"Not working as hard as usual huh?" She teases lightly.
"Well that's because we're switching back and forth with each other."
"I think that it's because you don't want to over do it after last night." She smirks.
"That may be part of the reason."
She laughs.
"I thought so."
"That's my bad." He chuckles.
"Yup." She giggles.
"Took a lot out of both of us last night."
"That it did."
"I'll try to go easy the next time."
"Nah it's okay. It was worth it."
"It was." He grins.
"Just need to make sure we leave a day for recovery next time." She giggles.
"Right right, of course."
He finishes and they move to another machine. As they walk he's playfully grabby.
"We're in public." She scolds him, laughing.
"So?" He chuckles.
"Do you really need to be grabby in front of all these people?"
"I suppose not, but you know me..."
"Insatiable, yes I know."
"I'll try to control myself."
"As long as you try."
"I promise."
"Good." She gives him a kiss.
As they're heading to another machine, that's when they spot Dean and I finishing up our time in the gym with the treadmills. Since we were finishing up though, we did start to goof around, reaching over and pressing buttons on each other's machines.
"I'm gonna laugh if one of you falls." She says loud enough for us to ear.
"He started it."
"Just saying."
"So how long have you been here?" I ask, as we take a break from our goofing around for now.
"A little while. You?"
"I have to say about an hour. Once we're done with these we'll be heading back to grab our things, get a quick lunch and head to the arena. Gonna have some in-ring practice with each other. You should come and see me beat him." I say amusedly.
"Sounds like fun. We planned on going over there early too." She giggles.
"Great." I smile.
"Oh please, you're not beating me. I mean have you seen me?" Dean remarks.
"Yes. And that's why I love you."
"Awww." She teases.
"And you get distracted easily."
"...maybe."
"You do. Dare I refer back to our workouts today? Spacey?"
"Touché."
"Can't help myself."
"This one can't either." She pokes Seth.
"Ooooh."
"Can't stop being grabby."
"Of course."
"So we'll see you at the arena then?" I say.
"Yup. See you there."
"Have fun messing with eachother's machines." She adds, laughing as they walk away.
"Oh we will."
"One of them is gonna fall." She snickers quietly.
"I know. I hope it's Dean." Seth laughs.
"He would be the one to fall. I can see it."
"Exactly."
"Because it hurts falling off one of those things, and he would never want her to get hurt."
"That and I know she's going to do something to distract him and make him fall."
"That too."
They pick their next machine. Seth nudges her to get on first.
"Always wanting me to go first."
"Ladies are supposed to be first."
"Well of course...such a gentleman...but you also like the views. Don't deny it."
He smirks and she laughs.
"I thought so."
"You can read me so well." He chuckles.
"I would hope so...knowing you for so long."
"Right."
"Plus I'm your girlfriend, I'm supposed to."
"Just like I'm supposed to be able to read you so well too." He nods.
"Of course."
"Love you."
"Love you too."
They get through that machine and one other before going to ride the stationary bikes. The bikes are close enough together that it allows Seth to grab her hand and hold onto it. At times, he brings her hand up to his lips and presses a kiss to the back of it.
"Romeo." She laughs softly.
"Always."
She smiles and squeezes his hand. In the meantime, after messing with each other's machines, I realized that it wasn't going to work. So I put my feet on either side of the treadmill where I would be safe and decided to try distractions while he still tried to mess with my machine.
"You're cheating." He says.
"I'm just stretching. You don't expect me to stretch on a moving treadmill and risk falling off do you? I could really hurt myself."
"I guess you have a point."
"I thought so."
"No cheating though."
"Now how would I cheat?" I grin.
"I know you. You'd find a way."
"Oh...you mean like this..." I trail off as I reach over and start being touchy with him.
"...Yes like that."
"Oops."
"Not fair."
"Oh...you haven't seen not fair yet." I grin as I carefully leave my machine and step onto his, my feet being on the sides and not the moving part, as I'm facing him.
"Uh-oh."
"Hi." I grin.
"Hi. What are you gonna do?"
"Oh, you'll see."
"Oh boy."
After waiting for a few moments, I then decide to lean up and press my lips to his. I catch him off guard and he stops to kiss me. He forgets the treadmill is still going and he stumbles, falling off.
"Oops. You okay?"
"Yeah, you trying to kill me sunshine?" He chuckles after catching his breath.
"I would never." I laugh, turning his machine off before hopping off.
"I think you owe me a proper one of those now that I'm not in danger of hurting myself."
"I won't argue with that."
Dean pulls me into his arms. I giggle and give him a real kiss.
"Better?"
"Much."
"Good. I think we can be thankful there wasn't a wall behind that treadmill."
"No kidding."
"Something I would never do if there was a wall there."
"Good because that would've hurt."
"Yes, I know. Even though you have been through worse, but still."
"Right."
"So, get out of here now?"
"Yeah, sounds good."
I nod, going over and shutting off the treadmill I was using. We grab our bags and then head out.
"Are you ready to get your butt kicked by me?" I ask with amusement.
"We'll see about that."
"I still firmly believe I'll either get you to tap out or I'll pin you."
"Keep believing what you want." He chuckles.
"Oh I will."
"You can pick where we go to lunch." Dean says as we get in the car.
"Alright." I nod.
"I'm hungry enough to not care what kind of food it is."
"Right, of course." I nod, as we pull out of the parking lot and head off somewhere for lunch.
We find a place that looks good and go in. The usual routine of menus and ordering takes place.
"After this, we can go back to the hotel and change, get our things together and head to the arena."
"Yeah." He nods.
"I don't think I'm going to dress up tonight." I say.
"Just casual then?"
"Yup."
"Well that's alright."
"It's just Smackdown anyway. I just have a match, not any promos or anything requiring nice clothes."
"Right."
"It's nice to be able to dress casual every once in a while."
"Of course. It's more comfortable." He nods.
"Exactly."
"Gets kind of uncomfortable wearing heels all night." I add.
"I bet it does."
"And I don't really dare take them off in the arenas, because I don't know how clean those floors actually are."
"Yeah." Dean cringes.
The usual routine of the drinks and such go about, before getting our food.
"Looks good." He remarks.
"Smells good too."
"That it does."
"Definitely worth having after the workout at the gym."
"Yeah it is. It's really good."
"They do have good food here. Been here a few times actually, that's why I picked it."
"Ohhh."
"When they have desserts though...the best."
"We could come back another day for dinner." He suggests.
"That would be great."
He nods and smiles when I lean over to kiss his cheek.
"Growing some scruff on your face huh?"
"Trying it out. What do you think?"
"It works for you."
"Good to know."
"Probably won't keep it too long, but still just trying it out." He adds.
"Okay." I nod.
"Well, I like it." I add.
"I'll keep that in mind." He chuckles.
"Things that normally don't work for other people work for you."
"Well good, I like being different."
"And you certainly are."
He grins triumphantly. We go back to eating and talking occasionally. When we finish, we do the usual and wait for the bill and of course he pays the whole thing and then we head back out to the car and to the hotel. Once there, we go up to our room so that we can change and get our things together. In the room, we take turns changing before packing our gear bags for SmackDown.
"Back on the road." I remark when we're both ready to go.
"Yup." He chuckles.
"After you." He offers.
"Why thank you."
"You're welcome."
Once we leave the room, it's back down to the car which we load up with our things, and then it's back on the road to go to the arena for the rest of the day until the tapings are over. At the arena, our first stop is the locker room for the Shield so we can drop off our bags. After that, we head in the direction of the ring. But it's not the normal way. He takes me a completely different way.
"The ring entrance is that way you know."
"I know. We're not going down to the ring that way."
I give him a confused look.
"I want to take you the way we go down." Dean explains.
"Ohhh."
"Is that okay?"
"Yes, of course."
"It's something new. Never walked down through the stands, always wanted to see how it was since you started doing it." I add.
"I figured, that's why I'm doing it now. It's safer this way when the fans aren't here."
"Right. I've seen they get pretty touchy with you guys."
"Yeah they do."
"You seem to be the most bothered by it, shrugging away from them when they do touch you and everything."
"I don't like strange people touching me when I'm trying to focus on my job." He shrugs.
"You're not strange, but you're the only exception as to who can touch me." He nods.
"Aww I feel special."
"That's because you are."
"You're sweet."
"Always for you."
I smile and give him a kiss.
We soon reach where he would be coming out with Seth and Roman if they have something planned for tonight, walking out to the top of the stairs, overlooking everything.
"Wow. This is cool." I say.
"Isn't it? Much more of a rush when all these seats are filled."
"Oh I bet."
"So, shall we head down there now?"
"Yeah of course."
We then start to make our way down the stairs. It takes a while since there's so many steps going down. But we eventually make it to the bottom and since the barricade was already set up around the ring, we had to hop that too. I jump it all dramatically, making Dean laugh. We only have to wait a little bit before those practicing in the ring to finish before we got into the ring to get our practice started. We start off seriously, helping each other improve on a few things. He did try and go for the pinfall early at times, but each time I would kick out of it.
"Gotta try harder than that." I smirk.
"Oh it's on."
"Bring it on." I challenge.
Now Dean tries even harder to pin me. But this time, I manage to reverse the pin attempt into one of my own, catching him off guard.
"One of us is going to win here..." I remark after he kicks out himself.
"Eventually."
"That's going to be me."
"We'll see about that."
"How's the practicing going?" Cara asks as she and Seth have now shown up, standing at the barricade looking on.
"Good. Haven't had a winner yet though."
"Aww you mean he hasn't gotten distracted yet?" She giggles.
"Not yet." I laugh.
"I refuse to be distracted."
"Suuuuuure."
"I say it's gonna happen." Seth remarks.
"Me too." Cara giggles.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence guys." Dean remarks.
"Aww poor you." I snicker.
He grumbles a bit. I hop up and sit on the barricade to watch. "No being grumbly you. This is supposed to be fun."
"Right. My bad."
"One more run through." I say as I climb to the top of one of the corners.
"All you gotta do is catch me. I promise not to hurt you. If I do, I apologize in advance."
"Alright." He says, looking a little wary.
"I know that look. Don't worry. It's just a crossbody."
"Okay."
"You know how to deal with that move. You'll be fine."
"More worried about you."
"I'll be fine. Trust me. You see me do this all the time."
"I know. Alright, do it."
I nod before standing on the top and jumping to perform the crossbody, landing on him and falling back as he catches me. I then sneakily go for the pin, using the ropes for leverage. Cara ends up counting, reaching three and I win.
"Cheat." He chuckles.
"Love you too." I grin, kissing him quick before rolling out of the ring.
"Cheeky minx." He says amusedly.
"You know it."
Cara gives me a high five as she gets down off the barricade.
"Now what are you two going to be doing?" I ask her.
"He said something about ninja skills." She shrugs.
"Crazy stuff then I'm guessing."
"Probably."
"This should be fun."
"Mmhmm." She giggles.
"Have fun."
"Oh I will." She says as Seth tugs her toward the ring.
"I gotta be in the ring for this?" She asks him in amusement.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Better to see everything this close."
"Alright. Goofball."
"Your goofball." He says as he kisses her cheek.
"Yes, mine." She giggles.
She then steps off to the side where she would be safe in the ring, while he starts to do some of his crazy ninja-like stuff. That included, using the ropes, jumping off the corners, everything. She watches him with a smile, giggling quietly.
"Oh, there's something else. I've been thinking on how I can go over that barricade..." He trails off as he exits the ring and goes back over the barricade, before hopping over it and rolling in like a ninja roll, before standing.
She laughs.
"That is so you."
"It definitely works for you." I remark.
"Very much so." She nods.
"I can see people just calling him Ninja Rollins after seeing that a few times."
"Yes!" Cara laughs loudly.
"Between that and coming out of nowhere in these assaults you do on the shows."
"Makes me think of the old school Pokemon games. A wild ninja Rollins appears!" She giggles.
"Aha, good one!" I start to crack up.
Seth and Dean laugh.
"And that's about what I got as far as crazy, ninja-like moves. Probably will come up with some more later down the road."
"Of course."
"Very impressive." She adds.
"Why thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Ready to head to the back now and wait until showtime?"
"How about going for a walk?"
"We can do that."
They get out of the ring and head up the ramp.
"And I think I should go find out if I have a match or not." I suggest.
"Right." Dean agrees, following me.
After heading to the back from the ramp this time, we walk around the backstage area until we find who I needed to find. I was informed that I did have a match tonight, and it would be a tag team match. Me and my partner, who I would be finding out later tonight is, would be facing AJ and Dolph.
"Oh joy." I grimace.
"Gonna be in that ring with crazy." I remark.
"You have my sympathy." Dean says.
"Now I only wish that you were my partner in this match. But I know it can't happen because of many reasons."
"Right. I wish I could too."
"But I'll do my best I suppose with whoever they've picked."
"Of course."
"Well I suppose I can get her back for throwing that water bottle at my head the last time we encountered each other."
"That's true." He chuckles.
"Someone's got issues."
"That she does. You should be careful just in case."
"I'll do my best."
Dean nods and kisses the top of my head.
"Now let's go wander around before showtime, and when we both have to get ready for the night."
"Sounds good."
"Hopefully we don't run into anyone we'd rather not see."
"Yeah, not in the mood to deal with idiots."
"Well, we could always find a hiding spot..." I trail off.
"Now that is a fantastic idea." He grins.
"I knew you'd agree."
"Well of course."
"Lead the way...eager."
He gives me a half smirk and takes my hand. The two of us walk along, keeping an eye out for a good hiding spot.
"I think I see one."
"I see it. That'll work."
He then proceeds to tug me along and into the spot, before pulling me close to him. I giggle and snuggle into him happily.
"Been a few weeks or so since our last alone time backstage." I remark.
"That's too long."
"For you."
"Yes but you know you enjoy these moments too."
"I do."
"You miss these too, you're just being a tease." He chuckles.
"Maybe I am."
He laughs and kisses me.
"It's fun..." I mumble against his lips.
"Of course it is."
"But you know what happens when you tease me..." He trails off.
"Oooh, I'm so scared."
"You should be." He chuckles.
I just laugh.
"You'll see."
"Bring it on."
He just smirks and then goes back to kissing me, taking advantage of the time we have. In the meantime, Cara and Seth were still walking around the arena. She has her arms wrapped around one of his while laying her head against his shoulder.
"Just what we need before the show."
"Mmhmm. Relaxing."
"And we get to relax more during the show because you have the night off." He grins.
"Yup. I know you like that idea."
"I really really do."
She giggles quietly.
"I probably won't have the night off, but that's alright."
"I know but hopefully it's an easy night at least."
"Hopefully."
"If not then you can at least enjoy the fact that I'm wearing jeans." She teases lightly.
"Oh yes."
"And what nice jeans they are." He grins, leaning back to admire the view.
"Well good thing I wore them."
"Yes. I like the color too. Very bright."
"You know me and the color." She grins.
"Yes I know. I love how the blue makes your eyes pop."
"Why thank you."
"You're welcome." He chuckles, fighting back a growl as she kisses his ear.
"Do we have to go hiding for you not having to worry about controlling yourself?" She giggles.
"You're tempting." He says.
"I know." She smirks.
"Never fails."
"Nope." She laughs, which is followed by a squeal as he smacks her butt.
"Hey!"
"What? I couldn't help myself."
"Suuuuuure."
"Couldn't resist."
"Of course, you goof."
"Always yours."
"Yup, mine." She kisses his ear again.
"I think we should find a spot to hide in soon.." He trails off.
"Best get looking then." She laughs.
"Aha." He says as he finds one, tugging her in that direction and into it.
"What now hmm?" She teases as she lets go of his arm.
"I can be as touchy as I want until we need to get back to the locker room so I can get ready."
She giggles as he backs her into the corner with a look in his eyes.
"I know that look."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. I'm gonna get attacked and possibly leave here with a mark."
"And I can get away with it since you have the night off." He smirks.
"And what if I decide not to let you?" She raises an eyebrow.
"There are other things I can do."
"Touché."
"But you can't do much to me considering I'm needed tonight."
"So not fair." She pouts.
"And I apologize for it."
"You can make it up to me later."
"Already planning on it."
"You're such a good boyfriend." She pats his cheek.
"Yes I am."
"Love you."
"Love you too blue eyes."
"Now, where were we?"
"Your move." She says amusedly.
"I know." He grins, as his hands wander a bit before deciding to take her face in them and pressing his lips to hers.
She giggles and sinks into him, responding to his kiss. As she does sink into him, her hands rest on his chest. She drags her nails down his chest. When she gets to the bottom of his shirt, she can't help but to let your fingers slip under it, touching his skin. She feels him break out into goosebumps and she laughs against his mouth. But once he does get used to her fingers being there, she starts to be touchy with him. He takes his hands from her face and begins to be grabby himself. When she starts to get touchy, he takes her hands and holds them against the wall. She whines, trying to move her hands.
"...not yet..." He mumbles.
She tries to pout, but he gently tugs on her bottom lip with his teeth, causing her to make a squeal/moan sound. He smirks and does it a few more times, getting the same reaction out of her. She gives up on trying to free her hands, too distracted by what he's doing with her lip. He continues with that for a while before moving on from it, trying his luck as he goes towards her neck. She teases him at first by scrunching up her neck so he doesn't have the room.
"...oh come on..."
"Nu-uh."
"There are other places."
"I know this is your favorite though."
"It is." He nods.
"I think I need to be convinced."
"Hmmm..." He trails off as his hands wander along her sides before going over her hips and reaching her legs. She unconsciously holds her breath, waiting to see what he does. That's when he moves his hands to her back pockets, putting them inside. She relaxes a little bit, giggling quietly.
"I really love these jeans on you."
"I can tell."
"Hope there's more of these."
"Lots more."
"Oh good."
"You know I love jeans. I used to feel someone watching me years ago when I wore jeans like these. Now I know exactly who it was." She laughs.
"Guilty as charged." He chuckles.
"I knew it."
"Again, couldn't help it."
"I know. You're still not marking my neck yet."
"Give it time."
She gives him an amused look before reaching up to play with his ponytail.
"Because we do have plenty of time for that."
"Good thing we came early."
"Very good thing."
She bites her lip when Seth pulls her flush against him.
"Convinced yet?"
She shakes her head.
"Looks like I have to try harder then."
"Mmhmm."
"That won't be a problem."
"Oh boy."
He does absolutely everything he can to get her convinced. Since she was relaxed, he could go for her neck and he does after a few moments, going to his favorite spot. Her head lolls to the side and her hands drop to his shoulders, nails digging in slightly. He smirks against her skin, before starting to work at the spot, wanting to mark her again. Her nails dig in more and she tries to muffle herself in his shoulder. When he feels that a decent one would be forming, he moves away from it and back to her lips, where he leaves a lingering kiss before pulling away with a satisfied look. She leaves her face in his shoulder for a minute. Then she leans back and grabs his face in her hands, pulling them down. She crushes her lips against his and kisses him hard and intensely.
"You are so lucky...that I have the...night off..." She says between breaths after she ends up pulling away.
"You're also lucky...that I can't... mark you." She adds.
"That's me...lucky." He chuckles.
"You have no idea how bad I want to drag you to the hotel right now." She mutters.
"Oops?"
"Yeah oops." She says dryly.
"Sorry?"
"No you're not."
"But you still love me."
"Very much, you insatiable goof."
"Yours."
"Mmhmm." She sighs, leaning into him.
The rest of the time left, he decides to stay in the hiding spot with her, being affectionate and whatnot. He was keeping in mind of the time, and when it was getting somewhat close to showtime, they had headed back to the locker room so that he could get ready. They get into the room and she flops onto the couch while he goes to the changing area.
"So, you have a match tonight I see." She remarks as I'm already changed into my gear for tonight.
"Yeah." I nod.
"What kind?"
"Tag team."
"Do you know who you're tagging with?"
"No, seems like I'll find out when the match comes up. But it's against Dolph and his crazy girlfriend."
"Oh jeez."
"Yeah, that's gonna be fun." I say sarcastically.
"You have my sympathy."
"I'll be happy to get that match over with."
"I would be too."
"Normally I would be all for a match against her, but...not when she's as crazy as she has been."
"Yeah. Who knows what she could do."
"Just try and be careful." Roman nods.
"I will." I nod, giving him a smile.
Not too long after that, Seth comes back out and takes his rightful spot on the couch next to Cara. She snuggles in close to him.
"Sere has to face off against crazy tonight." She tells him.
"Oh yeah? Good luck." He says to me.
"With Dolph and Big E. out there, I'm gonna need it. Won't put it past them to try and get involved...especially Dolph since he's her tag team partner."
"That's true."
"Don't know who my partner is yet though."
"Let's hope it is someone decent."
"I really hope so."
"It is Creative though. They're such jerks that they'd probably pair you with one of AJ's exes." Cara muses.
"Which is only four...and we can only rule out one...and that's Punk because he's a heel."
"Right."
"That leaves John...but he's not here tonight. Kane...ugh. And Daniel...just no."
"I wouldn't put it past them."
"If it is Daniel, I don't care if it's a loss for me, I'm walking out on him...no way am I teaming with that barnyard animal."
Cara makes a noise, snickering. That in return causes the rest of us to burst out into laughter.
"I had to." Cara grins.
"Of course."
"It was too good to pass up.
"Exactly."
"But if it is him, I can't blame you if you walk away."
"Right." I nod.
"I'd probably do the same if I had to team with Wade."
"Thankfully you don't have to worry about that...given the character differences."
"For now."
"Well let's hope it really stays that way."
Booker T kicks off the show, welcoming everyone to it before promising to kick off 2013 with a bang. He says that anything RAW can do, SmackDown can do better. With that said, he then announces the opening match of the night.
"Instead of having a non-title match, we're putting the title on the line. The Big Show will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio in a Last Man Standing match. Oh yeah. Now things are just getting hot around here on SmackDown guys. I told you we was gonna kick it off and we was gonna kick it off live."
But just then Big Show, comes out, after hearing the news of having to defend his title, outraged.
"Here comes a tantrum."
"Booker, you're not fooling me with this crap. You're really not. This is a personal vendetta that you have against me. Are you bitter? Are you angry at me because I'm still in the game? I'm the World Heavyweight Champion and you're back there pushing papers, sitting at a desk? Is that what this is about? What's wrong with me as the World Heavyweight Champion? You have a problem with me as the World Heavyweight Champion. Why Booker? You need a new hero...I see what you're trying to do. You want these people here in Miami to embrace Alberto Del Rio. Is that it? Because of the high population of Latino people in Miami, you think...that's nothing to cheer about. Because of the Latino population here in Miami, you're hoping that by making me compete against a Latino like Alberto Del Rio, they're gonna get behind him? Alberto Del Rio is not in my class. He's beneath me. You can't give people like this a hero. There are no Latino heroes. I'm advising you very strongly...to make a good decision right now. You need to change your mind. Let me express it to you a little bit better huh?" He says as he pushes Booker into one of the corners, but before he could speak again, out comes Del Rio and he takes Big Show out with an enziguiri and knocks him out of the ring.
"Good riddance to you whiney."
"No kidding."
"I don't know who's worse as champion...him or Del Rio."
"Both are awful."
"Exactly...I mean is the title even worth caring about at this point? I don't think so."
"I know."
"And that's sad really."
"Very."
"One of you three should have it...at least it would become relevant again."
"That would be great." Cara agrees.
It soon came time for the first match of the night. It was a non-title as Randy would face off against Cesaro.
"Boring."
"And unfortunately we're going to have to leave you for a bit." Dean remarks.
"Awww."
"It'll be quick. Be back in just enough time to walk you to the curtain for your match." He reassures me.
"Okay." I nod.
During the match, Randy was poised for victory as he set Cesaro up for the RKO, but that's when the guys come out from the crowd, Seth being the first one to attack like always. Randy tries to fight them off, but the numbers game gets the best of him. After the assault, came the Triple Powerbomb, in usual fashion.
"Nice."
"Sorry Randy."
"Only not really."
"At least they broke up a boring match."
"Very true." Cara agrees.
"I'm glad my match is next. I can find out who my partner is."
"Good luck, hope it's someone decent."
"I hope so too." I nod.
"Hopefully Creative was nice."
"Guess we'll see in a little bit."
"Right."
It took a few minutes for the guys to get back. But Roman and Seth sat back down, Dean didn't because we had to go right out to the curtain to wait for my match. They wish me luck and then Dean and I head out of the room.
"Get this done and over with."
"Right."
"Hope to find my partner there waiting, instead of having to wait until I go out there."
"Yeah, that'd be nice."
"Good thing we did that practice today."
"We should do that more often, it was fun." Dean chuckles.
"It was. Maybe, just maybe I'll let you beat me next time."
"We'll have to see."
We make it to the curtain so that we could wait for however long we had to, and instead of seeing who my tag team partner would be, it was Dolph, AJ and Big E. standing there waiting themselves.
"Damn." I mutter quietly.
"So you'll be finding out who it is when you get out there it seems."
"Which is so unfair."
"Unless they happen to show up between now and the time you have to go out."
"True."
"I just don't like standing here waiting with her over there."
"I know. Try to ignore her. You can concentrate on me."
"That won't be a problem."
"I didn't think so." He chuckles, pulling me into him.
"She's staring isn't she? I can feel it."
"She is."
"...nosey." I grumble.
"Ignore her." He kisses your head.
"I'm trying."
Dean kisses my lips next. He holds the kiss long enough so that I would be more focused on that, but just until Dolph's music starts to go off and the three of them have disappeared. Dean pulls away and leans his forehead against mine.
"Better?"
"Much. And it served a double purpose. Distracting me and giving me luck for the match."
"Exactly. Glad I could help."
"You're always a help. But more so tonight, because I'm gonna need the luck."
"Would you like some extra?" He asks, chuckling.
"Normally I would say yes, but I don't think we'll have time." I remark as Dolph's music fades
"Darn."
"I'll be here watching, and waiting for you when you come back." He adds, just as my music starts.
I nod.
"Love you." I say softly.
"Love you too sunshine."
I grin before heading out to the ring, doing the usual. I wait at the bottom of the ramp by the ring as my music fades and I wait to see who my partner would be. I keep saying in my head for it not to be Daniel. The wait feels like forever, but then I sigh in relief when it's not Daniel, but Zack.
"Thank God." I mutter.
When he reaches me, I can't deny him the fist bump he goes for, before we both get into the ring. The match we've decided would start off with Zack and Dolph. They circle and lock up and Zack ends up in the corner thanks to Dolph. Dolph has to back away and he goes to cheap shot him, but Zack ducks and moves. Dolph comes at him and he just ducks again and turns, Zack hitting him with a dropkick. Dolph gets right back up and Zack hits him with an arm drag takedown. He does take a few hits here and there, but comes right back with his own. That's when Dolph gives up and has had enough, tagging in AJ. She comes inside hesitantly, and Zack comes to tag me in, just before AJ could go after him and I clothesline her. I start to drag her over to the middle of the ring so I could do a move off of the ropes, but she starts squirming around and then starts to bite my hand. She latched on pretty good and it took some time, but the ref got her to let go.
"You bit me!" I say in awe, holding my hand.
I then head towards her since she's near the corner and I start wailing on her for biting my hand. But in usual fashion the ref has to pull me off.
"But she bit me!"
I growl and go towards her again and go to pull her out of the corner, but somehow she turns around and she latches onto my ear like she did my hand, biting that too. She then grabs my neck as I'm checking my ear, and she hits me with some kind of DDT from the ropes and covers me to win the match.
"Damn." Dean mutters backstage, watching me with a frown of concern.
While I roll out of the ring and onto the floor, Zack is also attacked by Big E. and Dolph. It takes me a while to get to my feet, but when I do, I make my way to the back. Dean is right there waiting and he pulls me into his arms.
"You okay?"
"My hand, my neck and ear hurt. She's like a vicious animal...biting me like that. She really latched onto me too."
Dean grimaces and checks me over.
"I'm no stranger to biting people in matches. But I never latched onto people like she did." He remarks.
"Because she's crazy." I grumble.
"Hey, you okay? Got concerned when she starting biting you out there." Zack asks when he finally comes to the back, with help of course.
"Yeah I should be fine. Thanks for asking. How about you?"
"I should be fine too. I'll probably be just sore...the usual."
"I know the feeling." I agree.
"It was fun teaming with you though." He says as he starts to walk away, heading for the trainers clearly.
"You too." I call after him.
"So, you think we should head in that direction too? Or do I look alright to you?" I ask Dean.
"I think you'll be alright. If you feel any worse later, then we'll get you checked out."
"Well...if you don't have anything else to do tonight...we could head back to the hotel..."
"That sounds great." Dean agrees.
"I'd much rather be there for the rest of the night than here. I see AJ, I'm gonna end up showing her who's really crazy."
"I'd get a kick out of that but yeah, let's go."
"Of course you'd get a kick out of that." I laugh as we start to head back to the locker room.
"What can I say? You're hot when you're angry." He chuckles, shrugging.
"Touche."
He grins and kisses my head.
"Especially the crazy angry...like in the past." I remark.
"Yes." He chuckles.
"When we get back, you can go in and change first." He nods.
"Aww, such a gentleman." I smile.
"Always."
I lean up and kiss his cheek. When we reach the locker room, we head inside. He goes to sit on the arm of the couch as I go in to change and he waits.
"She alright?" Roman asks.
"Yes, she should be fine." Dean replies.
"That match...I just...AJ...she's not crazy. She's psycho." Cara adds.
"Definitely seems that way."
"And AJ seemed to be enjoying it too." Seth continues.
"Another sign of being psycho." She mutters.
"And she didn't even care about her wardrobe malfunction either for a moment."
"That was awkward." Roman shakes his head.
"I would highly advise her to not where those cut off shirts anymore if I had a say in the matter."
"There's a thing called double sided tape." Cara remarks.
"Which she clearly doesn't believe in."
"Apparently."
A few moments after, I walk out with my bag, ready to go. Dean nods and then heads in himself to change.
"Heading back?" Cara asks me.
"Yeah. I stay around any longer, I'm gonna spot AJ and the next thing you know, you'll be hearing a lot of screaming going on." I nod, laughing a bit.
"Of course." She says amusedly.
"Plus, no need to really stick around. Got nothing else planned out for the show. And what they did is all they had tonight."
"Right." She nods.
"And my neck is kind of hurting too so I wanna rest comfortably."
"Well I hope you feel better after a good night's rest."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. If you need anything, let me know."
"I will."
Dean soon walks out with his bag in hand.
"All ready."
"Alright. See you later guys."
"Bye."
We head out the door, and make our way through the halls until we reach the exit and head out to the parking lot.
"Can't wait to get comfortable and rest."
"I bet."
"I think we should go back Vegas for the time we have off until we're needed back on the road Friday. I'm sure it'll be just you and me, since Cara and Seth will probably be at the condo in Florida."
"That sounds great. Some real alone time."
"Exactly."
"Consider it done."
"Good. When we get back and I'm relaxed, I'll book the flight for tomorrow." I nod.
"I'll do that. You just relax." Dean shakes his head.
"If you say so. Even though I'll feel better once I take aspirin."
"I just want to take care of you." He shrugs.
"And you can. I do the same for you afterall. I appreciate it." I say before getting into the passenger seat.
"I do too when you take care of me. I'm just returning the favor." He says as he starts the car and drives to the hotel.
"Of course." I nod, grabbing his free hand and lacing my fingers with his.
"It'll be nice for it to be just us. Traveling in a group doesn't really allow for much private time."
"No, not really." I agree.
"I'm looking forward to that now."
"So am I."
Dean brings my hand up and kisses the back of it. It doesn't take too long to get to the hotel. We do the usual when we get back, heading in and up to our room. While I change in the bathroom he gets the flight booked for us.
"We're good to go. I chose a later morning flight so we could sleep in a bit." Dean says as I come out.
"Oh good."
"I figured you wouldn't want to get up early."
"Right, of course. And you're right."
He nods, chuckling as he goes to change himself. While he does that, I climb into bed and crawl under the covers as I wait. He doesn't take long. He comes out and puts his clothes away before getting in bed. I reach over and turn the light off before snuggling into him.
"Night sunshine." He kisses my head.
"Night."
It doesn't take long for the two of us to drift off after the long night. Seth and Cara didn't stick around the arena too much longer themselves. Since he was already changed out of his gear, he was already set to go himself. Again Roman stayed around because The Rock was there for SmackDown so he was going to hang with him for the rest of the night. They say bye to Roman and head to the car.
"Can't wait to go back to the condo this week on the next couple days off."
"I know. Warm weather."
"Exactly."
"The beach." She smiles.
"The best part."
"You're just saying that because you like seeing me in a bikini."
"So I am." He grins.
"Insatiable."
"Love you too."
"I'm looking forward to having the place to ourselves."
"I bet." He nods.
"You and no shirt." She smirks.
"All the time..."
"Oooh I can't wait." She giggles.
"I can tell." He chuckles.
"And I can wear what I want." She grins.
"You can."
"I get to torture you." She laughs.
"Touche."
"Oh this is going to be fun."
"A lot of fun."
"Mmhmm." She giggles, brushing up against him flirtatiously.
"Youu."
"What?" She asks innocently.
"Now you wanna act all innocent. I see how it is."
She just laughs.
"Just for that...I get to plan overnight how to get you back tomorrow."
"Sounds like fun."
"Oh it will be."
"Bring it on lover boy."
"Oh I will...tomorrow." He smirks.
"Waiting...bleh."
"Well I suppose there's something we can do, that will hopefully hold you over until tomorrow..." He says as they reach the car.
"Do tell."
"Maybe undress each other and pick out what to wear to bed if anything?"
"I like that idea."
"I thought you would."
"You know me well."
"Yes I do."
She smiles and steals a kiss before they drive off to the hotel. When they get there, he grabs his bag from the trunk before locking the car and they head and up to their room.
"Boxers for you my ninja. For me, well I think you'll find something in here." She says, tapping a suitcase with her foot.
He hasn't been allowed to see the contents of that particular suitcase before so he looks mildly interested.
"Oh really?"
"Mmhmm. Help yourself."
He grins and goes over, unzipping the suitcase and opening it to find what's inside. His eyes go wide at the sight of quite the variety of sleepwear.
"You know that girls day that Sere, Nattie and myself had, where we went into that one store? Well that's what I got from there."
"Wow."
"Though there's also stuff I've had for a while in there too." She says.
"Have fun looking through everything." She adds with amusement.
"Oh I will." He says.
She goes into the bathroom to take off her makeup and let her hair down. Once she does that, she comes back out to see that he's picked something out for her, as he's sitting on the end of the bed with it in his hands as he was waiting for her.
"Wow, you picked faster than I thought you would." She giggles.
"Just went through everything until I saw one I really liked. This one."
She takes off her shirt and throws it at him, laughing as it lands on his face. She takes what he picked out and starts to change.
"That's 10 points for me." She says in between her laughter as he removes the shirt from his face.
She holds her sides, laughing at the look on his face.
"Haha."
"I couldn't help myself."
"Of course not."
She takes the shirt and puts it away, still giggling quietly.
"Still find it amusing."
"Mmhmm."
"Now, I've changed...your clothes just need to come off." She adds.
"Right." He says absentmindedly.
"Need help with that or do you got it?"
She giggles and smiles mischievously.
"Well you are pretty distracting right now..."
"I'd love to help." She says amusedly. *
She moves in close and starts to help him out of his clothes.
"There. Much better." She says once the clothes are off.
"Thank you." He chuckles, kissing her head.
"You're welcome." She pats his chest before moving around him to climb in bed.
He gets up and goes over, getting the light, before climbing into bed next to her.
She snuggles in tight against him and sighs contentedly.
"Back home tomorrow."
"So looking forward to it."
"So am I."
She leans up and kisses him lightly.
"Night love."
"Night."
