The Sky Is Looking Great For April - A. Lee / D. Ambrose

Chapter 10

I change into my ring gear and get makeup and hair done by the time we have to go out there. I go out first skipping without my title. Who took it? Nikki and Brie come out and Nikki and I start off. Halfway through the match. I'm actually winning. Then Dean's music comes on and he skips out like I do with my title on his shoulder. I am about to get out and grab it when Brie rolls me up school girl style and I can kick out. Brie and Nikki both run out of the ring and to the ramp. I glare at Dean. Stephanie's music hits. "Dean and AJ. Since this week you like to cost each other matches why don't you get on the same page for this tag team match later on tonight." She says. Dean grabs a microphone and I take one from a sound guy. "I don't think that's an issue. Right AJ? I mean after all on our first date we had our.... Nevermind it wasn't PG." He says with a smirk as I glare at him. Blushing from embarrassment." "Where did you get my title?" I ask. "You know you really shouldn't leave things in your room and ask where I got it. It was sitting in a bag with a notebook. Cool drawings." He compliments. "I went looking around in your bag for that finding some really weird things in there." "That's what you get for going in my bag. What did you find? A ball of yarn?" He asks. "No. Why do you have that...no wait I found a picture of me with a lighter on top and one of my shirts with blue paint." I say. "I was gonna burn the picture, that paint and shirt is an idea that I have. So in other words sleep with one eye open. The yarn was for what every guy does late at night. Work on cats cradle." He says. I shake my head. "Instead let's make that match next." Stephanie says as Paige and Seth come out. She smiles at me. I get in the ring and Dean gives someone my title. I go into the ring with Paige. Dean stands on the apron. The bell rings and Paige and I lock up. After a few minutes Paige and are worn out so I tag Dean in. After a minute or two I want back in so when he's in this corner I tag him in without him wanting. I get in and get clothes lined by Paige and backed up into the corner. I fight back and kick her again and again and I go for shining wizard she kicks me in the head making me fall. I attempt to go to Dean in the corner but get pulled back. I kick her off and when I reach over for Dean who is dying to get in he steps off the apron and smiles at me and just kisses me between the ropes before leaving my title and leaving. I watch as he leaves wasting valuable time which in the end costs me. She rolls me up pinning me 1, 2, 3. She smirks and skips off. I get out of the ring walking across from Seth. I walk through the curtain and Dean is there. "Hey Babe. Missing this?" He asks pointing to the title. I grab his arm and attempt to pull him away from people. He cooperates me. I find an empty hall. "Give me back my title." I say. "I will if you listen and talk to me." He says. Anything worth getting my title. "Fine." I say. He smiles. "Why are you mad at me?" He asks calmly. "Why are you cheating on me?" I ask. "How'd you find out about that? Did she tell you?" "Yeah." I say lying. He told me so, that means it's sorta correct. "I didn't mean it. It was in the heat of the moment and I just kissed Paige. I didn't mean it, I was drunk." He says. "What? You didn't say this was about Paige. I thought you were talking about yourself and Renee." I say. "No, I am owning up to you right now. I didn't cheat on you with Renee. I did cheat on you with Paige. No one else. I was drunk. I know one thing I wouldn't own up to this unless I truly cared about you." He says. "I was so close to forgiving you after what you said last night. I just can't believe you. What did you even do?" I ask on the verge of tears. I know Paige and I had an argument last night but I didn't think she'd do this. "I don't know. All I know is I woke up naked next to her." He says. I walk away. I go into my locker room and cry a bunch. I never knew I could cry this much. After like an hour and a box of tissues I fix myself and go deep into the arena to find Roman. He finds me and says "Hey." I smile back but the smile doesn't quite reach my eyes. "What's wrong?" He asks. "Dean cheated..." That's all I get out without crying again. He opens his arms for a hug. I gladly accept it getting tears on his best. "Come on. Chill with me. Tell me what happened." He says leading me to his locker room. He sits me down and I look over and see Galina and JoJo. I'm about to ask but he shakes his head. "What happened?" He asks. "Dean cheated." I say as more tears fly out of my eyes. "Okay, with who?" He asks. "Paige." I say. "What?" He asks raising his voice a little. "I don't know. I'm done." I say. "Wait. He told you this?" He asks. "Yeah." I say as more tears come out but they start to slow down. "Wait I thought you two broke up?" Galina says. Roman playfully punches her in the arm. "Sorry." She says. "It's fine. I've shown up for what I need to. I'm going back to the hotel." I say standing up. "Wait. Before you go. Can I walk you to the car? I've gotta talk to you about something." He says. I shrug. "Yeah." I say. He gives Galina a kiss before getting up with me. We grab my stuff and I put on my glasses on. "Okay, what did you want to talk about?" I ask as we leave the building. "I wanted to talk about Galina. I want to ask her to marry me." He says with a smile. "Okay. That's great. What do I have to do with it?" I ask. "Well, I was going to ask her after the show tonight but I want to do it without JoJo there. Even though I love JoJo. I kinda want it to be just us." He says. I nod. "Okay, so your putting me in charge of her?" I ask. "If it wasn't a problem, yes." He says. "Now?" I ask. "After my match." He says. I shrug. "Yeah fine. I guess I'll stay till then." I say. "Great." He says with a smile. "Well, now I'm gonna sit in my locker room." I say as we walk back into the building. I go into my locker room and go into the shower as Roman goes back wherever. I get out and put on a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. There is a knock at the door. "Come in." I say. "AJ. I need to talk to you about Dean." I hear Paige say. "What?" I say annoyed. "I know Dean told you but I want to say more. We can hate each other for business but I can't have you hate me for Dean." She says. "Whatever." I say. "Listen, I didn't mean to end up with Dean like that." She says. "Well you did, you can have him then." I say harshly. "I don't want him. You do." She says. "Yeah. I do but not anymore. Now I'm asking you to leave." I say calmly. "Fine." She says and leaves. I've wasted too many tears on him and the sad thing is I still want to waste more. I turn on the TV and watch Smackdown. Titus O'neil vs Darren Young. I decided I wanted a cupcake so I make the walk to catering and eat my cupcake and head back to my locker room to get stopped by Stephanie. "AJ I need you in my office right now." I sigh but follow her. She opens the door and Dean, Seth, and Bray are in here. I stand up. "You can sit." Stephanie says. "I'd prefer to stand for an easy getaway." I say. "Something that I've noticed over the course of these two days is none of you are following the script." She says. "Bray was supposed to Sister Abigail AJ, That didn't happen. Seth was supposed to call out Dean, Dean never showed up. Dean you stopped Bray. AJ you just don't follow the rules." She says. "I haven't started a fight yet this week." I say. "You have caused the trouble. You and Dean are arguing on screen but still have eachothers back against a common evil." She says. "That was Dean's fault he brought it up." I say. "Not my fault you won't face your fucking problem like a normal person." He says. "It also isn't my fault you're my problem." I say. "Enough you're like 5 year olds. We get it. No one in this room likes each other." Seth says raising his voice. "Okay, Fine Seth and Bray thanks for coming you can leave. AJ sit." Stephanie says. Bray and Seth walk out smiling. "I don't care about what issues you all are having, but it's effecting my show. I am assigning you to a couples counselor tonight so you both can stay right here while we grab one." Stephanie says. She leaves and I text Roman.
