It's Been A Long Time... [Desperate Measures Sequel]

Seventeen.

The end of the show was as planned, a mass brawl. I found myself leaving before it happened, I didn't want to be involved in any of it. It wasn't like I had anything to fight for being on this brand. 

Heading to the hotel I went straight into my room where I grabbed my bags before putting in any loose clothing. I looked at myself in the mirror before I shook my head at my dreadful reflection. I was looked so bad, my hair was a mess, my skin looked pale, maybe it was the stress of today that was effecting me. 

My attention was drawn to the door where someone was now banging on it. I hurried over, I guess I had a lot of explaining to do to AJ. I yanked the door open almost ready to just blurt it all out but instead I found Dean on the opposite side of the door. 

"What do you want?" I asked him as my eyes widened. 

He pushed passed me, letting himself into my room. 

"Oh just come in," I sarcastically said as I closed the door behind him before turning to look at him. "Can I help you?"

He stood next to the bed I had slept in before he spoke, "Are you avoiding me Tasha?"

I didn't believe I was, I just hadn't really seen him. "Not particularly." But I was mad about what the twins had said. "Here's a lovely little quote I heard the other day," I told him as I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms over my chest. "Dean is over that little bitch." I said in a voice imitating Brie. "Isn't that just the cutest?"

Dean's jaw fell open as he looked at me. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh sweetie," I rolled my eyes. "Either you are a really good actor or well you are bullshitting me."

He walked towards me, little steps. "It's not like that Tasha." He tried to touch me, I just wriggled away from his touch and moved away from him. 

I shook my head, "It's none of my business." I looked at him, his eyes on me as I spoke my next words. "I don't care who you fuck." I smiled at him, "It's not going to be me." 

Dean didn't come towards me any more, he stayed still awkwardly looking at me. "Tasha, I don't know what you think you heard-"

Letting out a sigh I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't want to hear you lies any more." I grabbed my bags from my bed, pulling them across my body ready to leave. "I have some where to be."

He reached for my wrist, grabbing it before I could get to the door, I looked down at his hand on my wrist before I looked up at him, I waited for him to speak. "I-" He rubbed the back of his neck before he let go of my wrist. 

"Thanks." I said before I left the room leaving him in there on his own. 

I left the hotel, dropping the key in at the reception before I got down to the hire car where the lads were waiting for me like we had planned. I walked up to the boot and dumped the bags into the boot before I headed down to the drivers side. The lads were already in the car waiting for me. 

"Natasha!" I heard someone shouting my name as I opened the driver's door. 

Looking up and towards the hotel I saw Dean who was walking towards me, a quick pace of walking. 

"What's the hold up?" AJ asked from the passenger seat. 

I looked in the car at AJ before shrugging. "I have no idea."

Looking back to Dean who was mere inches from me he didn't stop, he just walked close to me, before he closed the door and pushed me against the car his lips meeting mine. As much as I wanted to fight it, he seemed to have something over me. I melted at his touch as he ran his tongue along my bottom lip causing me to open my mouth a little, a little surprised at how forward he was being in front of people. Our tongues met as his hands tangled in my hair, just holding me close to him.
