The hotel was quiet as they stayed in the bed after getting ready for sleep, Amanda switching the Tv off the news station.
"I really hope Paul got out before the hurricane struck." Amanda said quietly, both having been concerned for their injured friend.
"You and me both… I'm sure he's alright. He'll be keeping safe somewhere." Finn replied.
"I know… and I think he said that the hip injury happened in April when the ring caved in… they should've reinforced it that night." Amanda responded before she looked up at him and gently connected their lips to each other's.
Down in the hotel bar, Enzo was downing shots and talking drunkenly to Cedric Alexander.
"I still can't believe that the pint sized, bluish black haired devil hit me so hard." Enzo slurred, Cedric getting him to lower the glass of whiskey.
"Pal, ease up on the liquor. You think more clearly when you're sober." Cedric said.
"I've just… got more than just the incident to think about at once is all. There's personal problems at the same time…" Enzo replied, letting go of the glass after placing it back down.
"Yeah, Liv kind of implied it on her Instagram account." Cedric responded, Enzo looking at him.
"She did?... putting it basically… I'm stuck between Liv, my partner of quite a while now… or this girl who's just… amazing. And she deserves way better than she's had in the past." Enzo replied, not naming Dianne as he wanted to keep her protected from angry others, at least for the time being while he was trying to make his decision.
"Well, you've got to fix it soon cause the Divas locker room is in an uproar and Mandy's name has already been assumed as your lady." Cedric said, Enzo spitting out the whiskey and his eyes widening in shock.
"Are you fucking serious?!" Enzo asked.
"Yeah… and you can probably guess who started that one off." Cedric answered.
"Damn, that Alexa is such a bitch." Enzo muttered before both saw Alexa nearby… and Enzo smirked and tossing another shot, Alexa shrieking in fright as it hit her Sorry Not Sorry shirt. "Whoops, too much to drink tonight!" He howled as Cedric laughed uncontrollably, Alexa storming over to them.
"You think you're funny, do ya?! What about when I start spreading the word a bit, shall we see what happens when Finn knows that you and Amanda have been shagging behind his back?!" Alexa shouted.
"Except it ain't true… I see Mandy as a little sister and I pissed her off royally and I'm sorry I did so, deeply sorry. But she and Finn? Well let me lay it out for you. Marriage, kids, grandkids… need I go on? So go scurry your little biscuit butt back to your table, eh wannabe Harley Quinn?" Enzo responded.
Alexa stormed off, Cedric and Enzo looking at each other.
"How does Murphy put up with her?" Cedric asked quietly.
"I have no idea." Enzo whispered before heading up towards the elevator.
The next morning, Amanda and Finn opened their eyes and Amanda saw the faint remnants of a mark on Finn's neck in the early sunlight.
"We really were wound up last night…" Amanda whispered.
"But not now… and that's good. That's the reason to do it… to let the stress out and just… love each other." Finn responded quietly, turning his head to look at her.
"That's what works when things like these happen." Amanda said as she felt his fingers run through her hair and lightly rub the back of her scalp until the door clicked and opened… and Roman immediately closing it as he dropped the spare key to the couple's room.
"You okay, Roman?" Dianne asked after approaching him.
"I accidentally mixed up one of my room keys with theirs…" Roman explained, Dianne putting it together.
"Right… well I hope you backed out quickly. Their moment shouldn't be ruined." Dianne replied.
"I did… damn, it's been a crazy few days." Roman said before leaving the key by the door and heading off, Dianne walking back towards her room and seeing Enzo passed out in front of the door.
"Yeah… it has." Dianne said, pulling Enzo up to his feet and shaking him.
"Hey, pretty lady." Enzo mumbled with his eyes half open.
"Come on you, get yourself out of people's sight." Dianne replied, helping Enzo into the room and down into a chair by the room table.
"I… am so drunk… I could kiss a horse!" Enzo slurred.
"You are very drunk, but you're not going near any unfortunate farmyard animals." Dianne agreed, stopping Enzo as he tried to get up again… and as she was so close to him, he shifted up and kissed her, Dianne backing up. "You haven't decided and I can smell the damn booze in your sweat, keep your lips off me!" She said, louder at the end before she sat on the bed.
"I decided on one thing, I threw whiskey at bitchy Bliss last night after she assumed it was Mandy!" Enzo exclaimed, Dianne laughing at the thought of Alexa's reaction after that.
"Okay, that I applaud you for…" Dianne responded… and only the stench of the drink kept her from a lapse of thought where she knew she would have moved over and kissed him on his cheek. She stood up again and headed over to the bathroom, opening the door. "Here… shower it off and sober up."
Enzo nodded and stood up, heading into the bathroom. When Dianne heard the shower going, she started to relax.
"I really hope he gets it together…" Dianne muttered.
At the SmackDown event for which Amanda had an appearance on, she called Paul Wight through FaceTime.
"So how are you, surgery go okay?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah. Still a bit out of it but I'm okay… you sound kind of rough though kid." Paul answered.
"Enzo and I got into a fight… I adore him to death but he drove me mad last night." Amanda admitted.
"We all have our moments… things will fix themselves soon, I'm sure." Paul replied, before both saw Dianne walking nearby, Amanda seeing her through the small image of her own camera feed in the corner. "She alright as well? Last I saw her, wasn't she having some sort of rash or irritated thing around her prosthetic?"
"Gotten rid of… go clear your mind." Dianne said, Amanda handing the tablet to her… but when she was a good distance from the locker room, she was grabbed and backhanded, seeing a furious Liv.
"What the hell was that about?!" Amanda responded angrily.
"Answer me straight… have you been fucking Enzo?!" Liv demanded.
"I damn well haven't! I did some damn stupid things in my younger years but now, not only would I never knowingly make someone cheat on their partner, but I'd also never even consider cheating on mine!" Amanda answered loudly, Liv letting her go and growling angrily.
"Obviously someone has… and Alexa said it was you, but on second thoughts what is her word ever worth anyway?" Liv said after a few seconds.
"It ain't worth a damn." Amanda replied, backing up a bit when Liv tried to touch her. "Just give me some time." She said, Liv walking away.
She was gonna kill Alexa one day…
