Endlessly ( A Dean Ambrose Story)

Chapter 8: Gym Time

The next morning I was unbelievably sore. Luckily we had today to rest. Tomorrow we shoot Smackdown. So we all decided to hit the gym. I tried to back out but Joe insisted that working the sore muscles would help.

We made it to the gym. Not the free one at our apartments, oh no! The one where Joe has a membership and costs $20 to spend just a few hours! This is where we butt heads. He has no rational way of spending! He'd rather go to a fancy dinner than have a home cooked meal! He'd rather spend a fortune at the movies when we have Netflix!
After paying the lady at the front desk, I put my headphones on and headed towards the punching bags. I took up boxing and kickboxing and did that for 6 years. I loved it! It was a great stress reliever.

*** Dean's P.O.V***

Me: So you give me shit about never working out with you guys, and when I finally do join, you two are 30 min. late!

Roman: Sorry man! I couldn't get Colby up. You didn't spike his drink did you? He was out cold! LOL.

Me: Ha ha very funny. No little man just can't handle his liquor. Well I'm here so step on the gas brother.

Roman: Alright, alright. We're on our way.

I put my phone back in my pocket and sat in my car waiting for the other 2. I thought about leaving and just heading to the desert but I decided not to. Roman and Seth finally made it and we walked into Gold's Gym.
I had just got done with chin lifts and decided to join Roman who was doing jumping jacks.
"You done already?" Roman asked in between jumps.
"Nah just taking a break."
Just then I spotted her. Annaleigh. She was hitting the punching bag left and right. She was no stranger to boxing. I couldn't help but watch her and be mesmerized. Suddenly 3 men approached her. I could feel a sudden sting of jealousy forming. I figured one of them was her boyfriend. Considering how the blonde one ogled her, my guess is that it's him.
"Will you just go talk to her?" Seth asked walking up to Roman and I.
"Who?"
"Who? What do you mean who? Annaleigh! You've been staring at her for the past 5 minutes." Seth answered.
I just shook my head. I knew I was caught.
"Nah. I'll pass."
"What? Why?" Roman joined in.
"Because she has a boyfriend." I answered.
"How do you know?" Seth asked.
"I don't. But seeing how that blonde guy is looking at her and acting around her makes me think he's with her."
"Only one way to find out." Roman said smiling.
"Nah man. I'm good." With that I went back to working out without another word to my brothers.
***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
"Dang! Calm down there killer!" Tyler said laughing as he, Joe and Jacob were walking up to me.
"Sorry-I just-can't-stop-once I started." I said in between breaths.
"See? I told you working out would remove your soreness." Joe said proudly.
"Oh yea! I just imagined your face and my arms just started flying!" I teased. Tyler and Jacob laughed. Joe however, didn't think it was funny.
"Smart ass" He grumbled.
"So we're ready to grab something to eat. Want to join?" Jacob asked.
"Are you serious?! We just got done working out and you want to throw that away for grease?!" I asked dumbfounded.
"Well they have salads." Tyler answered.
"Yea... greasy salads." I argued.
"Well then... where would you like to go?" Tyler asked.
"Let's go to The Venetian."
"Okay."
"Dang. A hearty burger sounded good too!" Joe said.
"Hey it's your arteries."
We were about to leave when I got the sudden urge to look to my right. There he was looking at me. My knees suddenly felt weak and my breath caught. I smiled and waved. He returned my smile and gave me a nod. There was something about Dean that made me feel something I haven't in a very long time.
