Shivers * WWE Fanfic

55

When I wake up I check the time even though I already know what time it is. It's 6:30 a.m. Dean got me used to waking up so early.

He's basically still my alarm clock because I still wake up early. My eyes feel heavy and they hurt. Probably because I didn't get enough sleep.

I look at myself in the mirror and sigh at the reflection. After I brush my teeth I grab a pair of jeans and a t-shirt to go get some breakfast.

Usually I don't eat breakfast because I'm not really a morning eater. Today seems to be different because I'm actually starving.

I decide to walk down the stairs to the cafeteria because it's a form of exercise. When I get there I'm thankful there's not a long line.

After I get my food I sit on a booth far away from people. I'm also not very social. I tend to be a little shy.

I'm in the middle of devouring my food when I see a pair of hands puts a plate down in front of me.

I look up and see Roman. He takes a seat in front of me and smiles. "Good morning. How's your knee?"

I grab a napkin and wipe my mouth and swallow all the food in my mouth without chewing.

After almost chocking I grab my orange juice to try to feel better. "Woah. Slow down with the food. We have plenty of time." He chuckles.

I blush awkwardly and clear my throat. "Hey. My knee is good. Thanks for asking." He starts eating grits and looks up at me.

"By the way congratulations on your win." I smile proudly, "Thank you. Congratulations as well on your United States Championship win."

"Thanks. I'm hoping I can become the World Heavyweight Champion again." He takes a small sip of his orange juice. "I'm sure you can do it."

He keeps eating his food and I can't help but to stare. Im not touching my food anymore because I don't want to look like an animal eating in front of him.

"Aren't you going to finish?" He asks pointing at my plate. I just nod my head and take a small piece of egg and put it in my mouth.

"Oh look there's Dean." Roman says. I turn around quickly and see Dean. He gives me a look and then glances at Roman.

"What's up man?" Dean asks as he approaches the table. "Nothing much. Just eating breakfast." Roman replies.

Dean looks at me and I look at my plate. "Why don't you join us?" Roman suggests. "Sure why not."

Dean sits beside me and pushes me to the end. "You're squishing me." I mumble and he turns to look at me. "Good."

We stay silent for a while which makes it a bit awkward. I take a sip of my juice so it doesn't look like I'm doing nothing.

Dean finally speaks up, "So what were you two talking about?" He glances at Roman and then at me. "Just talking about our wins."

"Ohhh. And that's it?" He asks glancing right at me. "Yeah. Pretty much." I reply. "I also asked her about her knee because she scratched it the other day." Roman says as he puts a spoonful of grits in his mouth. He seems to love them.

"That's right. Clumsy Aj always hurting her knees." Dean says looking at me. "Well you know what they say women do have stronger knees than men. If you know what I mean." Roman says with a smirk.

"What? I ask stupidly. Roman starts laughing and Dean looks at me. "Aj no. Don't even ask." Dean says.

"I remember when I used to be innocent." Roman says. "Your innocence is long gone." Dean adds.

"Well yeah. Can you blame me?" He takes a sip of juice. "No of course not." Dean replies looking at him. "What about you Aj? Have you lost all of your innocence?"

I look up to Roman who is waiting for me to respond. "I don't know." I answer. He smiles, "Definitely innocent."

"Is that a bad thing?" I ask and he shakes his head. "Oh no. It's a good thing. It's actually kind of sweet."

We look at each other for a few seconds and Dean clears his throat. "Well I have to get going. I'm going to workout. See you later Deano. Bye Aj." He gets up from the table and picks up his plate and cup.

"Bye man." Dean says. I simply wave goodbye and watch him walk away. Dean keeps eating his food without looking at me.

"Do you like the food?" I ask trying to make a conversation. He shrugs his shoulders and keeps eating.

My heart aches for a millisecond. "Are you okay? Last night when you left you seemed worried." He ignores me and keeps chewing. This time not only my heart aches but my chest as well. "So are you going to run this morning? Because I am. If you want we could run together."

Dean looks up at me with a serious face. "Why don't you ask Roman to run with you? You two seem pretty close." His voice is bitter and he has never talked to me like that.

I look down at my lap and my chin starts quivering immediately. He has scolded me before but it's usually about waking up early or doing stupid things. He has never actually talked to be with biter in his voice.

"I need to go." I say trying to move but I can't because I'm on the inside of the booth. Deans face expression changes when he seems me.

"Aj-" I cut him off. "I need to go. Let me get out. Please." He gets out slowly and I grab my plate along with my cup.

I walk away quickly putting the dirty plate and cup where they belong. "Aj wait!" Dean says behind me.

I rush to the elevator and start pressing my floor number. My heart is racing and I want to get away from him. He managed to hurt my feelings and I don't want to talk to him right now.

He door is about to close when he puts his hand in front of it. I get out and walk to the staircase.

"Aj stop running away from me." He says behind me. "I don't want to talk to you." I reply.

He rushes in front of me and doesn't let me get by. "Please listen to me." I try to move by him but he grabs me by the waist.

I freeze at his touch and everything seems to slow down. "I'm sorry." He says looking me in the eyes.

"Why were you being mean to me? What did I do?" I whisper. "You didn't do anything. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have acted that way." He says quietly.

We keep staring at each other without breaking eye contact. "Do you forgive me?" He asks slowly. I nod my head and looks relieved.

"Thank you." He whispers. "Thank you." He says again as he grabs my hand tightly. I can feel his heart beating and I'm sure he can feel mine.

Our pulses seem to beat together and we look at each other for what seems forever. His mesmerizing eyes shake my soul and make me shiver.

He sighs and pulls me in for a hug. He kisses he top of my head and my soul feels heavy. It makes me wish he would hug me everyday and kiss my head everyday.

I wonder what would it be like if Dean fell in love with me? Would I glow in his eyes? Would I be beautiful to him? Would he think of me nonstop like I do? Would he miss me with every atom of his body?

If only he'd love me back, I'd love him forever.
