"I'm so glad we have off til Sunday." Ariela said as she finished zipping her suitcase.
"What are you doing over the break?" Dean asked as he continued folding his clothes.
"It'll be my first time off since I started here so I'm probably going to go home." She shrugged "Yourself?"
"Probably head to the town survivor series is at. I don't feel the need to go to Vegas." Dean said as he closed his suitcase.
Ariela nodded. She knew Dean lived by himself in Vegas and didn't really have much family.
"Dean?" She called him.
"Yeah?" He looked up at her, confused slightly by her tone.
"Do you maybe wanna come travel with me?" She asked. "We don't have to go to my house because it may be awkward for you but we could go to like New York or something?"
Dean smiled at her. "I'd love that. Are you sure you don't want to visit your family? You don't have to stop anything for me."
"Its okay. I will call them. They'll understand. " She reassured him. "Plus, we should get to know each other since we will be touring together for a while. And we have a storyline together so it could make it more realistic if we know things about each other."
Dean sat next to her as he finished packing. "I'd love to go to New York with you."
Ariela smiled at Dean. "Great. I'm going to order the tickets."
"You don't have to buy mine." Dean tried to stop her but she disagreed.
"Shush boy. Relax a little." She rolled her eyes before a smirk took over her face.
Dean rolled his eyes but layed down next to her on the bed. He stared at the ceiling as she ordered their tickets.
"Done." She patted his knee before getting up. "The flight is at three."
"Its 1." Dean chuckled.
"Shit let's go check out and go to the airport." She tried to drag him out of bed which was impossible because he was twice her size.
"I'm hungryy." Dean dragged out the y as he smirked.
"I will leave you here in St Louis, Jonathan." She put emphasis on his name.
"Okay okay mom. I'm coming." She smacked him on the butt for his smart reply. "Hey watch it! No no area."
"What are we five? Your job is basically being close to people's areas." She laughed as he gagged.
"I'm quittng." He said.
"Oh no! The great Dean Ambrose can't quit! Oh what will we ever do?! We can't survive without the greatest!" Her voice dripped with sarcasm.
"Its great to know you think so highly of me sunshine." He rolled his eyes.
"You know it buttercup." She smiled at him as she dragged her suitcase out the room.
"Honey." He challenged as they made their way in the elevator.
"Baby cakes."
"Sweet cheeks."
"Love bug."
"Okay enough with the names. We sound like Hunter and Stephanie after they have sex and try to rub it in our faces." Dean said.
Ariela burst out laughing as the entire lobby looked at her. She held onto Dean for support as she laughed. Dean smiled at her as he dragged her towards the check out.
"The fact you know that makes it funnier." She wipes a tear from her eye as Dean checked them out.
She was about to laugh again before Dean covered her mouth."Save it for New York princess."
She pouted jokingly before her and Dean got a cab to the airport. This should be fun, Ariela thought as she smiled at Dean.
■■■
"Dean I swear I'm going to hurt you." Ariela whisper-shouted.
"What's that sweetheart?" Dean taunted.
"IM GOING TO HURT YOU!" She yelled as she snatched her phone away from Dean.
They had arrived in New York sometime around dusk there and where just now checking into a hotel. She asked Dean to hold her phone for her as she went to the bathroom. When she came back out, he was going through her photo album from highschool. Not only did she look horrible in highschool, her photos with her friends were quite embarassing.
"I hate you so much." She blushed as she trudged over to the elevator.
"You love me sweetheart." He smirked.
She growled almost at him and his eyes widened. "Okay okay I'm so sorry! I should've asked. Forgive me?"
She hummed in response as a cocky smile spread across her face. She had just made Dean Ambrose apoligize.
"You're evil." He realized the smug look on her face.
"You love me sweetheart." She mocked as they walked into the room they shared.
Dean glared at her playfully. Ariela smiled in return as she layed down on the bed.
Dean layed down next to her. "Excuse me sir, your bed is over there."
"But you're way more comfortable." Dean sighed as he layed his head on her stomach.
She didn't bother trying to get him off so she let him lay there. She ran her hand through his hair and surprisingly found it almost fluff like. She began to play with his hair as her eyes began to feel heavy.
"You bring out the best in me." Dean said as he held her free hand that wasn't in his hair. "You make me happy. You make me feel safe from myself."
Ariela didn't say anything. She knew he had more to say.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is I like you. Alot." Dean let out a breath of relief as he finally let that off his chest.
Ariela stopped playing with his hair as she let the words sink in.
She always felt happy when she is with Dean. She felt comfortable around him and felt like she truly could be herself around him. She's never felt so safe. She was never able to trust someone so much as she can with Dean.
"I-I like you too." She admitted.
Dean sat up and turned to face Ariela. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he snaked his hands around her small frame.
"Joe was right." Dean chuckled.
"About what?" She asked as she layed back down as he layed next to her.
She layed her head in his chest and he immediately wrapped an arm around her.
"That we'd end up together."
"Ugh he's gonna rub it in our faces for weeks." Ariela groaned.
"We aren't together though." Ouch. "But I'd like to change that. Would a beautiful women like yourself company me on a date tomorrow?"
"I'd love that." She hummed in response.
Dean realized she fell asleep after that and he to soon fell asleep himself.
The two both fell asleep with smiles on their face that night. They were both happy with where they were at in their life in this moment.
