Chapter 57 : Flowers & Friendship
"Tell Seth, I don't care."I sigh shaking my head whilst looking over at Dean, Then to Seth. I didn't give two shits if I was being childish, I still wasn't talking to him. At least directly...
"She doesn't care."Dean sighs, Looking at Seth with a sympathetic smile.
Seth shakes his head with a small sigh,"Fine... Tell her that, I understand why she's upset. But I think she's going a little far."
"I am not 'going at little far.' I have every damn reason to be pissed."I burst out, Letting out a deep breath.
"I know you do, But I don't want this to ruin our friendship."He says looking at me straight.
"Me either."I groan."I really don't mean to be such a bitch. I just don't understand why you did it..."
"I... I don't really know."He says rubbing his head."It was late... I guess I was lonely."
"You were lonely...?"I nods, Gritting my teeth tightly to stop myself from saying anything I couldn't take back,"You slept with my Ex Best friend because... You were lonely."
"I have no other explanation."He nods,"So, I guess so."
"Okay."I say quietly, Looking over at Dean and trying to stay strong.
"Okay?"Seth asks trying to look into my eyes as I continued to nod and avoid eye contact.
"Sure. I guess."I say with trying to put on my most sincere smile. It really was not okay. It was the opposite of okay.
"Are we good now?"He asks, Pushing up his largely rimmed glasses and finally making eye contact again.
"Listen. I accept your crappy apology."I say looking up at his little innocent smile.
"You do?"He asks.
"I'm not done."I sigh, pressing my lips together , "I accept your apology but I don't know whether we are at a 'good' stage yet."
"Oh."He sighs, Taking a step towards me,"How exactly are we gonna get back to where we were?"
"Sethy..."I sigh with a sympathetic smile,"You have to figure that out."
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Shut up, Roman."I say trying to sound angry but failing and cracking a small laugh.
"He's practically disabled and he's getting more than me."He sighs, Shaking his head,"That's messed up."
"I'm still mad about that."I say, Cracking open my locker room door."Seriously, How the hell aren't you pissed at him?"
"Who said I'm not?"He sighs, Pulling a strained smile.
"Be honest."I say as I stretch my neck,"Am I being too harsh on him?"
"I get why you're still upset, But we all make mistakes and I guess this is another one of his big mistakes."He says with a little shrug.
"I guess."I sigh, Rolling my eyes a little. It was inevitable, I had to forgive him at one point.
"So, Dolph told me that Vicky was looking awfully friendly with Hunter and Steph."He says, Raising his eyebrows and looking for some reaction in my face.
"Great. Ro, I really, really couldn't care less who she's getting friendly with."I sigh loudly, Frowning at him.
"Who's getting friendly with who?"Brie asks, Wrapping her arms around my neck.
"It doesn't matter."I smile, shaking my head and turning around to face her.
"Vicky?"She says with a little sympathetic smile. I nod and she gives a little sigh.
"You have a match tonight?"I ask her, Trying to change the subject.
"Nope, Do you?"She asks.
I nod and pull a face."I have to defend this baby,"I sigh pointing to my newly cleaned title,"Against Becky Lynch."
"Oh."She frowns,"Hunter must really not like you right now."
"That obvious?"I chuckle dryly.
"I speared Him and I'm pretty sure, He likes me more than you."Roman admitted , Whilst the corners of his mouth rose into a smile.
"I guess I got to him."I Shrug, Wiggling my brows.
"I should ask you, But I don't want to stress you out."Brie fidgeted, Pressing her lips together.
"Shoot..."I nodded, Biting the inside of my lip.
"What's your plan for The Rumble?"She asks, Pursing her lips.
"I'm not sure... I'll probably just wing it."I sigh with a half-smile.
"Wing it?"Roman asks.
"I've thought of everything else. She knows all my strategies. So, Maybe I should just... Not have a strategy."I smile, Looking at them both and smirking.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Here."I smile, Passing Dean the tape.
"Thanks."He smirks at me, Struggling to find the end.
"You need any help?"I ask, Enjoying watching him struggle.
He frowns at the tape and sighs as he finally finds the end,"I'm good."
"So, I was wondering... About your match."I start, Batting my eyelashes a little.
He cuts me off,"You are not coming out with me."
"Why not?"I whine,"I'll just be there for support."
"Nope. You have a title match tonight."He says, Finishing taping his first hand.
"I will be fine. I promise..."I pout at him.
"What do you think, Romes?"Dean asks him.
"I think I feel very uncomfortable."He says leaning back into the sofa.
"Should she come out with me?"He asks rolling his eyes.
"Why not?"Roman sighs,"It's not like she's gonna hit him with a chair."
"I'll think about it."Dean sighs, Looking down at me.
"Thanks."I smile and kiss his lips for a second."I won't do anything, Okay?"
"Sure."He sighs, Wrapping his other hand with tape.
"I finally know how Seth feels around you guys."Roman groans.
"Shut up Ro."Dean sighs, Sitting down on one of the chairs.
"Is it wrong is I wear one of your shirts?"I ask.
"To the ring?"He asks, Laughing a little.
"Yeah."I say quietly,"Why are you laughing at me?"
"I'm not laughing."He smirks.
"Fine."I sigh shaking my head,Going and finding a DA shirt."I'm wearing it."
"You go for it."Roman sniggers.
"I will-"I start but get interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Dean, You have a promo."A producer says walking in.
"Okay, Thanks."He sighs, Standing up and pulling me up with him.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Please welcome the Intercontinental Champion, Dean Ambrose."Renee smiles as He walks over to her."Dean,Tonight you defend your Intercontinental Championship against Kevin Owens, This rivalry between the two of you has gotten out of hand. What can we expect from you Tonight."
"Kevin Owens said He was going to drive me to an actual asylum, In order to get back the intercontinental Championship."He says calmly, Looking over at me for a second," Kevin Owens has put me through tables, He has bounced steel of my back. Kevin Owens has hit me in places, I didn't even know I had places... and look at this face. doesn't this face look, Pretty well adjusted, To you?"
Renee nods with a little shrug, Clearly blushing.
"Kevin Owens says... 'He's a Prizefighter', Talks a big game about being 'A Prizefighter'."Dean smiles, Clenching his fists,"Baby tonight. This is a prize, So let's fight Owens. Let's fight Owens Fight."
Renee nods and smiles as the camera stops filming, Before sending me a smile and walking off.
"Baby?"I frown, Raising my eyebrows and elbowing him.
"Jealous?"He smirks, Rubbing his ribs.
"You're flirting. Of course I'm jealous."I sigh, Frowning at him."Apologise."
"Sorry."He smirks, Looking down at me.
"Hmm."I smirk back and pout, Tapping my lips.
He sighs and gently kisses my lips."Better?"
"A little..."I sigh, Rolling my eyes,"We both have title matches tonight..."
"I know."He sighs, Rubbing his head,"Your's is in a minute."
"Shit... Really."I groan, Frowning at the thought.
"Yeah, I checked earlier."He says, Watching me as I smile.
"Aww... You are too adorable."I smile. He really was too damn cute.
"I am."He smirks.
"Calm Down... Don't get too cocky."I say with a little laugh.
"Don't know if that's possible."He sighs, As a small smirk appears on his face.
"Hi Dean... Emily."Stephanie says walking over to us.
"Steph."He nods at her then smirks at me, As she suddenly stops in her tracks.
"Oh, I forgot to wish you good luck in that little 'Title' match."She says sarcastically.
"Yeah. I really appreciate your husband setting that one up for me."I breathe deeply, rolling my eyes.
"No problem, I'll let him know you'd like one next week as well."She smiles, Practically grinning at my heart faltering.
"You... You let him know."I say quietly, Looking at her as her eyes burned into me.
"I will."She says quickly as she begins to walk away.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The Bell quickly rings and I push Becky into the corner, Before she easily pushes me away and to the floor. I send her a quick smile as I return to my feet. She quickly grabs me by the hair and smacks me with a few rights to the face, Then rolls me up.
1.2
I kick out quickly and sweep her leg from under her, Making her face hit the mat hard. Still holding onto the leg, I kick her a few times in the mid-section before pulling her back to her feet, Then hitting her with a standing dropkick. She gets up quicker than I'd anticipated and hits me with a dropkick of her own followed by an arm drag. She then pulls me up and throws me over the ropes and onto the apron, She connects with a springboard side kick, Sending me crashing to the floor. Yeah... That sure wasn't fun.
Before I could even get to my feet, Becky tosses me back into the ring again going for a cover, I roll out before she hooks my leg.
She chases me around the outside until I turn and hit her with a big boot to the face, Before I pull her back into the ring and smack her head on the mat a few times, A few right hands for good measure, Then going for a suplex which she reverses with a straight shot to my face. She takes me down with a few arm drags and a quick roll up again.
1.2.
I quickly get back on the attack and put her in a headlock, She quickly counters by smacking my face into the top turnbuckle, Then a few elbows and a clothesline. I try to escape the ring again, But she grabs me and sends me flying with a suplex, Before hooking my leg again.
1.
Becky again pins my in the corner with some boots to the mid-section, I manage to catch on and counter it into a swinging neck breaker and a cover.
1.2.
I pick her up and suplex her once more, But this time I pull her up and hit her head on the turnbuckle. She turns and suplexes me again and another quick cover.
1
As I try to stand she pulls me down and into the Dis-Arm-Her.
"Tap!"She practically shouts in my ear.
"No!"I shout back, Pulling her over and rolling her up.
1.2
She kicks out again and reapplies the Dis-Arm-Her, Again shouting for me to tap. I shake my head and edge myself closer and closer to the ropes until my foot finally hooks it.
She groans loudly and hits me with a few rights which I return straight back. I get back up to my feet and climb up the ropes, watching her as she rose and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I hit her with a tornado DDT and go for a cover.
1.2.
She kicks out weakly and I pull her up knowing exactly what to do. Hoping that my win would send a message to Vicky.
1.2.3
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Surprise."Seth smiles as I bust in though the door, Still holding himself up with the crutches under his arms.
"What are you doing here?"I ask, Feeling a lot less annoyed than I was earlier,"I thought you were resting?"
"I wanted to come give you these."He smiles, Holding out a beautiful bouquet of red and white roses.
"How did you even get here?"I laugh,"I mean... No offence but you're a cripple."
"Uber is a great thing."He chuckles as I take the flowers from him, Before giving him a big hug.
"Sorry... About everything. I shouldn't have gotten mad."I sigh, Squeezing him a little but being careful not to do it too hard.
"It's fine. I should really be the one apologising."He says, Finally breaking the hug.
"You really don't have to. I was the one overreacting."I shake my head, Looking up at him.
He smirks with a quick roll of his eyes,"Do you like the flowers? I wasn't really sure which ones to get..."
"These are perfect. Thank you Sethy."I smile looking at them. They really were nice.
"Are we good again?"He asks sending me and innocent little smirk.
"I guess... But you should really thanks Ro, He was the one telling me to forgive you."I sigh placing the flowers on the table.
"I will, Don't worry."He smiles softly, Sitting himself down on the sofa and patting the seat next to him, Making me roll my eyes.
"Did you watch my match?"I ask him, Taking the seat and picking my flowers back up.
"Yeah, I did."He chuckles dryly,"How's the arm?"
"Sore actually..."I sigh, Giving it a little rub,"But it's fine."
"You should probably go and meet Dean."He groans looking up at the clock.
"Is it that time already?"I sigh, Slowly standing up and looking back at the flowers once again,"I would ask you to come but... You know."I say pointing at his leg.
"It's fine. I'll see you guys in a bit."He smiles, With a hint of sadness in his eyes.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Hey you..."I say, Skipping towards him.
"Nice shirt."Dean smirks, Holding in a laugh."You nervous?"
"Why would I be, It's your match."I scoff, Looking down at my shirt,"What's great is that if anything happens to you, I'm here to help."
"No. No you aren't."He says sternly, Shaking his head,"If anything happens to me, You are not getting involved."
"What?"I frown,"Are you actually serious?"
"Yes."He sighs raising his eyebrows."You are not getting involved, Okay?"
"So, You're telling me you'd rather lose that title, Than let me help."I ask, Completely dumbfounded.
"Definitely, If I can't retain a title on my own, I shouldn't have it."He sighs, Folding his arms and twitching his muscles."Would you really want a title you don't deserve?"
I frown and roll my eyes,"I guess not, But-"
"But nothing."He interrupts me as Kevin walks past with a smirk.
"Ay, Dean. Your Girlfriend ain't gonna be much help out there."He smirks, Quickly getting under both mine and Dean's skin.
He quickly faces me as Kevin's theme rings loudly throughout the arena. "You do nothing."
"I get it, Okay. I won't do anything."I sigh. Could I really promise that? Really?
We walk quickly up to the gorilla and watch Kevin as he slowly gets into the ring.
"So...Are we going out tog-"I start but get cut of by my own entrance. I quickly hitch my breath and throw back the curtains as I skip out, Waiting on the ramp and watching as Kevin sends me an ominous smile from the ring.
"Finally."I gasp as Dean takes a hold of my arm.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Good luck."I say stepping on the rope and kissing his cheek.
The bell rings and I quickly jump down, Watching as Kevin pushes Dean to the ropes we go. They move around the ropes and Kevin gets Him in the other corner shoving each other. Dean quickly takes him with a headlock, But Kevin fights back to his feet pushing Him back into the corner. Dean goes for Dirty Deeds early, But Kevin rolls out directly in front of me.
Dean sends me a look as he climbs back in and practically mauls him. Kevin counters a neckbreaker and then Kicks him straight in the face. Kevin begins to dominate the match, Until Dean tosses Him back first into the ring barricade, Before jumping back into the ring, back out and sending him into the barricade once more.
Dean gains control again with a side russian leg sweep on Kevin right into the barricade. He thens jumps off the ring apron and catches Kevin on the jaw with a big clothesline, Before tossing Him back in. Kevin catches Dean in the ropes and drops him with a quick DDT.
Kevin starts trying to wear him down with a headlock. He slowly fights back to his feet and getting in body shots. Kevin hits him with a straight right to the face and misses a senton splash.
Dean comes back with rights and kicks to his legs, Then again with a series of clotheslines, springboards off the corner, corner splash and running bulldog combo. He then goes up top, jumps, lands rolling through, and goes for a Dirty Deeds which Kevin counters.
Dean catches Him with a big boot, Kevin then avoids a tornado DDT and hits Dean with a release german suplex. Kevin connects with his cannonball a second time and goes for a cover.

1.2
They brawl in the centre of the ring, trading rights, Before Kevin drops him with a clothesline. Dean jumps out of the ring with a suicide dive sending Kevin over the announce table.
He stands on top of the announce table and jumps down picking up Kevin, Who counters sending Dean back first into the steel steps.

The Ref begins the count and I groan as I see them nearing the crowd.

They both being hitting each other with rights and lefts.
8.9
The referee reaches 10 and calls for the bell, They both hear it but continue to brawl in the crowd.
"Dean!"I groan as they head further out into the swarm of fans.
I roll my eyes and try my hardest not to fall as I climb over the barricade.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
45 days... It took me 45 days to update. Feel free to hate me, I understand...
Anyway, I know this chapter was way too long and clearly not one of a very high standard, But... I have decided *Drumroll Please* Next chapter will be at the candid 'Royal Rumble'. Yes, Yes, I know... I know.
I'm just really excited to go on the this and I have so many ideas, And I'm sure Vicky is bored with me going through scenarios with her.
So... Apart from that, The Royal Rumble sure is gonna be interesting and I'll give you a hint - A very big and game changing thing will happen.
