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

Chapter 48

I got ready for Smack down and we left. We sat in the Shields territory. We waited till we were needed which I lived. I was behind the scenes watching everything come alive. Then it was our turn to go out there. I couldn't have been anymore nervous. Not even when I had my first match, or when I was younger and all the hardships that my family and I had to face. I am pretty sure Dean noticed. He holds his hand out for me as we sit there waiting to go out there. I rest my head on his shoulder. We wait another minute before walking out there. There are four contracts out there set on a long table. We all take our seats. I sit next to Seth, and Dean. Dean sits next to Roman. The Authority's music hits and Stephanie walks out holding hands with Hunter. They step into the ring. Stephanie smiles at us. "Look at what we have here. The rebels of the WWE. How exactly did you get into my building on Monday?" She asks. "We aren't sell outs. We aren't telling." Roman says. "Well, one of you is a sell out. Isn't that right Seth?" Hunter says. "How do you and AJ get along? After all the arguments dealt with while in the Authority." Hunter says. We shrug. "AJ, and Roman you two are never ever seen with each other. Why's that? What are you hiding?" I look to Roman. "Oh no. They will find out our secret." I say sarcastically to Roman. "Just sign it." Seth says. Stephanie says to us "We are supposed to do a thorough background check, so you can be hired." I roll my eyes. "Background check, I have worked here for about 8 years and they have worked here 6 years. I think that's unnecessary." I say. "Policy is policy." She says. "And business is just business. They say not to mix pleasure with business, I think you might just be mixing." Roman says. "How about this. If we can sign your contracts we will drop everything, all issues once held with you. We just hope you do the same." I stand up. "So, you will drop EVERYTHING? EVERY little detail. Drop Dean and I, give me my title shot which I still deserve, give Dean the title shot he deserves, drop the sellout stuff with Seth, and finding ways to annoy Roman?" I say. "If we are standing okay." She says. She stands up and continues "Only if you can do the same." "Weird how I used to idolize you, Kane, Randy, Hunter and pretty much any other super cool person in the locker room, but now I'm to the point where I question why." I say. They both glare at me. I sign my contract after everyone else. Stephanie signs mine last and she says "At the end of the night, the slate is wiped clean." We all nod and she smiles. Hunter moves the table aside and says "Alright glad we agree." Hunter turns around as Stephanie and I still make eye contact. All the other guys stand up, and that moment I'm not looking at Stephanie is when she slaps me..............hard. I spin around as I jump on her my feet are being lifted and I see Dean carrying me as I struggle. "Still crazy I see." She says. The C word. I've ALWAYS hated that word. I try and fight, scratch and claw against Dean to let me at her. "So glad we agree." Stephanie says. Dean pulls me out of the ring and says "Chill." I glare at them as we walk backward up the ramp. Dean puts one arm in front of me. When we get back there we all shower and Dean says "I'm hanging out with Lita and Christian tonight. Want to join?" "I think I'll pass." I say. Lita is an inspiration to me, even now...but she doesn't like me. While she was dating Punk, we were talking and flirting. Honestly, I could still see myself with Punk if he never asked me to marry him. Of course I wouldn't ever tell Dean that. I love Dean, but I'm scared to love him. The last time didn't work out, all the times I love it never works out. I'm just scared. "How come?" He asks. "Lita hates me." I say. He nods. He wants to ask a follow-up question. I can tell. He's just not. My phone vibrates. I check and see it's a DM notification for Twitter from a Jets Football player. He was the only guy I followed from them. I am giants fan. I bleed blue till the day I die. Dean was a Bengals fan. Game days were interesting. Seth was a Bears fan, and Roman was a Jaguars fan. I opened twitter and it said
Hey, I've got a game coming up on Sunday and I was wondering if you would watch from the sidelines. It was from Dee Milliner. I followed him because he was one of my friends old friend.
JoJo walks up to us with a microphone. "Congratulations on getting your jobs back." We all nod. "Thanks, very excited to be back." I say. "Are you sure that you are ready? Last we saw you two, you were injured. Seth with a broken collar bone, you with a separated shoulder. Caused by Becky Lynch and Finn Baylor." She says. "Injuries are injuries. We both will heal." Seth says. "Becky on the other hand wanted something, she got it...but with a price, so why don't I pay her back?" I say with a smile. "Dean, Roman anything you want to add?" She asks. "We are back, and we aren't leaving." Dean says. "And you can believe that." Roman says before we all walk away. "What's up in AJ land?" Dean asks. "Nothin much." I say. "How is it that everyone can party and drink, and then there is just you." Seth asks. I shrug. "Maybe because I'm a nerd, and I refuse to be anything else." I say with a smirk. "Deans a nerd as well." Roman says. "Not really." Dean counters. "Star wars, and Batman." Seth responds. "I like that. It's cool." He says. "I can actually have a serious conversation about Batman with him." I say. "How serious can it be?" Roman asks. "Dean, pass me the Batman comic. I would often say from in another room." I say. "I don't know where its at. I will say while reading it." Dean says. "I walk in there to take if from him and he spoils it." I say. They smirk. "You two are strange....to say the least." Roman says. "Thanks." I say. I kiss Dean on the cheek and say "Bye, love you." I walk away to go find Paige. She smiles at me. "Hi pumpkin. I want to help you win the title back." She says. "Wait really?" I ask. She nods. "Yes. Two months full of preparation. I helped you get here, now you will reach the top again." I smile. "When you win we will throw the biggest celebration." She says. "Sounds awesome." I say. "Sure does." Roman says from behind us. I pick up the Batman comic from behind me and it on the crate. Roman picks up my phone and starts taking pictures with it as I open the comic. He thought I didn't notice. I smirk at him and skip away with my phone. I open twitter and put one of the pictures up. I write SINGLE=COMIC BOOKS FOR DAYS. TAKEN=PERSONAL SELFIE STICK then hit tweet.
