Love Games

Back In The Mix

*Dean's P.O.V.*

"You were great out there babe !" I cheered hugging Seth.

"I was, wasn't I ? Your rollup is what got us the win tonight !"

"Congrats on the win boys !" Carmella said as she and Miz joined our celebration.

"That's how many wins ? Four in a row ?"

"We beat Breezeango, The Bar, Bray and Matt and now The Revival. Next week it's the New Day and then it's the champs !" Seth told them.

"How are you guys celebrating to your title victory ?" Miz asked.

"You know I'm getting beer. Seth might just stay up all night kissing his belt." I joked.

"I know I'm kissing you for pinning Dash."

As Seth embraced me, Carmella walked away, but Miz stayed watching. I stared at him from the corner of my eye and had to stop Seth.

"Miz ? You okay buddy ?" I asked concerned.

"I'm good. Quick question: when you guys kiss, do the beards make it kinda awkward ? I mean really Dean, you're starting to look like a bush over there. And Seth, it's like a baby bird."

"Could you not watch us make out ?" I asked him.

"Yeah, it's kinda creepy and uncomfortable."

"Sure ! But seriously, do you ever accidentally touch beards with your tongues ?"

"Go before I kick your ass !" I yelled as he ran off.

"I know that's your friend, but sometimes he asks the dumbest questions."

As we tried kissing again, we were interrupted.

"Great match guys !" Stephanie yelled as we quickly let each other go.

"Thanks Stephanie. What are you doing here ?" I asked.

"I have a segment with the women up next. I'm happy you convinced me to keep the idea of making you two a tag team. They loved you out there !"

"Thanks. Maybe you should give us a real life storyline." Seth said seriously joking.

"Oh, you almost got me, haha ! Can't do that just yet !"

I wanted to laugh as Stephanie danced while rejecting Seth's idea. She couldn't make it anymore clear that she was a middle aged white mom.

"I'm trying you guys. Trust me."

As she left but before we could kiss again, a camera guy told us to take it somewhere else. Apparently, we were in his shot for an interview coming up.

"This sucks. We can't go anywhere back here without people telling us to more for an interview, photoshoot or a brawl." Seth complained.

"At least we're on TV and not dealing with AJ."

"True. I heard he was finally back on TV like a week or so ago."

"Time flies dude. I'm gonna shower and meet you back at the hotel." I said.

I kissed him goodbye, took my shower and got dressed. Walking around backstage, I felt like I was being watched. I convinced myself it was from getting trampled out of nowhere in the matches and that I was losing my mind. Luckily I wasn't seeing any ghosts on my way to the hotel.

"Let's talk about our house." Seth said as I collapsed on him in bed after finally making inside.

"Okay, but you have about five minutes before I pass out."

"Babe !"

"I'm kidding !" I laughed as he whined. "Talk to me, what's up ?"

"I was online and I saw a few cool houses."

"Well show me what they look like."

"This one is by the beach." he said flipping through his phone. "This one is in the inner city and this one is my favorite."

"You like that one ?"

"Yeah. I mean just look at it." he said mesmerized.

"If you like it so much, why don't you call someone tomorrow to show us the place later this week, like Thursday."

"Really !?"

"Yeah ! How bad could house hunting be ?"

Seth caught me off guard with a kiss as I closed my eyes to sleep. He laughed as he squeezed my cheeks and I laid across his lap. I knew he was finally happy like he use to be. No worries or anything, and I wanted to keep it that way. I tried getting up to properly kiss him, but I accidentally headbutted him.

"Shit Seth ! Are you okay ?"

"I don't think so." he said holding his nose. "Your head is fucking huge Dean !"

"I didn't mean to do that !"

"Shit, it's throbbing !" he yelled. "Damn it ! You better love me after this !"

"Cuppycakes, I do love y-"

I took a moment to glare at him and he soon started smiling.

"It's gonna take more than a broken nose to get me to say it."

"Haha ! You were close to saying it ! I thought you forgot !"

"You're so wrong dude. Go clean up, you're bleeding on the sheets !"

As he ran to the bathroom, I smacked him on the ass and laughed.

"Hey babe, your phone is ringing in here !" he said.

"Who is it calling this early in the night !?"

"I don't know, it says unknown !"

"Is it a 641 number ?"

"Nope. It's 555-0112." he responded.

"Uh, why is Peter Griffin calling me ?" I asked going into the bathroom.

"You've lost your damn mind."

"I'm serious, that's his number in Family Guy !" I said excitedly reaching for the phone.

"Wait ! Every phone number is real and leads to someone. Take caution." Seth warned me.

I answered the call but didn't say anything as I put it on speaker.

"Hello ? Hello ?"

I immediately hung up and dropped my phone in the sink.

"I think that was a debt collector. I borrowed $2,000 from Speedy Cash to get my wrestling training started. They found me. They want their money back !"

"After ten years ?"

We both laughed and just ignored the call. Seth picked me up and carried me back to the bed, dumping me in before he laid beside me.

"Thanks for being open to looking at houses with me." he said.

"We're a couple, that's what we're suppose to do. Now scoot over here. You know I can't sleep without you on me."
