The next morning I was paying for my "good time." The boys were nowhere in sight. Mad at me no doubt. I laid in bed and thought about last night. Dean defended me... he didn't have to but he did, and then made sure I was alright and safe. I smiled at the thought of it all. Little by little I was liking him more. I knew I had to talk to him before the show; to thank him.
I managed to get myself out of bed and shower up. I decided to go laid back until the show. After I had pulled my hair in a ponytail and tried to cover up my hangover face with makeup, I was ready for the day. I took 3 Tylenol out of the medicine bottle and chased them down with a can of tomato flavored V8. I made my way to the lobby. The boys were still not in sight and neither was Dean until I saw him in the gym with Roman and Seth. I gathered my courage and made my way towards him.
When he noticed me he smiled. That smile kills me everytime.
"Hey! How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Like crap." I said laughing. "Listen, I wanted to thank you for last night. You defended me when you didn't have to."
"It's no problem. I know I look like a jerk but I don't tolerate a man putting his hands on a woman."
"There you are! What are you do-" Tyler stopped mid sentence when he saw who I was talking to. His eyes filled with anger and his body tensed up. The Shield stood up and it was an immediate stand off.
"You have no business talking to her." Tyler said getting in Deans face.
"She's a grown woman. I think she can make that decision on her own. Or do you have some sort of ownership over her?" Dean said stepping up to Tyler.
"Okay guys! This is not the time or place to let y'all's egos get out of control." I said stepping in between them.
"Don't think for a second that I don't know what you're doing and don't think I won't drop you right here right now. Cross our path again, or talk to her again, then you'll see what we're capable of. Let's go Anna." Tyler warned.
"Dean I'm so-"
"NOW!"
I felt helpless. I've never seen the boys like this! I left with them so that I didn't start a fight. I turned around to see a pleading look for me to stay in Dean's eyes, but I didn't. I couldn't.
***Dean's P.O.V***
"Dude we should've just kicked their asses right then." Seth said as we were getting ready for Smackdown. We heard a knock on the door. I walked over and opened it to see a member of Creative standing there.
"Hunter needs to see you guys in his office in 15." He said then left. Now what?
We walked into Hunters office and low and behold, look who we see: The Beverly Hillbillies. I guess Hunter felt the tension in the room because he looked at both parties and said,
"Enough. I know you guys got off on the wrong foot but we see a great opportunity here."
We all looked at each other and then back at Hunter.
"Outlaws, you no longer have a feud with the Wyatt's. Instead, we've decided our best bet would be you 3 feuding with The Shield."
"Now hold o-" I started.
"Let me finish Ambrose. What you guys had... the chemistry... it was amazing! The fans loved it and so did I! This could benefit all of you in the long run. And ultimately, it's what's best for business."
"How long?" The dude with the beard asked.
"We'd like this to be leading up to Over the Limit." Hunter answered.
"3 Months?!"
"Yes. We plan on building up the rivalry here in the next few weeks leading up to Over the Limit. There, we thought title shots would blow the ratings out of the roof. Dean, you'll defend your United States Champion award against Jacob here, and Seth and Roman will defend their Tag Team Championships against Tyler and Joe. Guys I know it's alot to take in and absorb and it all happened very fast but this will be good! I promise! What do you say?" We discussed it some amongst ourselves and decided that this could be a fun opportunity so we agreed. The 3 Stooges agreed also.
"Perfect! The feud starts tonight with The Shield calling out The Outlaws."
We left the office in a somber mood to get ready for tonight.
***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
I decided to join some of the girls in Catering.
"So how long have you known the Outlaws?" Nikki asked.
"We're all best friends.Practically grew up together." I answered. Curious as to why these girls are so interested in my boys.
"Man, they are dreamy! If I wasn't married I'd definitely would hit up the scruffy one!" Eva joked. "He'd definitely hit you up too!" I thought. Nattie joined in, "Yea he is! But the blonde one is cuter. Not to mention very down to earth. What's his name?" She asked looking at me.
"Tyler."
"No the Scruffy one looks like he'd be a protector more than the blonde. No offense!" Nikki said apologetically looking at me. It was awkward talking about the boys to these girls.
"So are you dating any of them?" Brie asked.
"Me? Nooo! Just really good friends." I stated.
"Are you seeing anyone?"
"No."
"Really?! You're really pretty! I figured you'd be off the market!"
"Nope... not yet."
Just then the boys walked in. Thank God!
"Excuse me." I said as I left to greet them.
"So how'd it go?" I asked.
"Well... we have a new feud." Joe said.
"Really? With who?"
"With your precious boy toy." Tyler said coldly.
"Tyler..." I didn't want to fight, but he spared me by walking off without letting me get a word in.
"Don't let it bother you Anna. You know how Tyler feels about you and you know how he gets when he feel threatened." Joe assured. I did know. In fact I knew all too well about how Tyler felt about me, but I had hoped he would have moved on by now.
"Yea I know... He just doesn't have to bite off my head!"
"I'll talk to him. But we've gotta run. See ya at the hotel!" Joe said waving.
"Later. Good Luck!"
It was time for the main event here on Raw in Omaha, Nebraska. I had already had my match for the night. I had to face Summer Rae... piece of cake! I was pretty tired but I decided to stay and watch the match between my boys and The Shield. Needless to say I was nervous for both my boys and The Shield. The Shield started the main event with a promo. On the mic was of course...Dean.
"Listen up! Listen up! What I'm about to say better sink in because I'm only going to say this once. We have a new group thinking that they own the place. It's time you wake up boys! You don't own anything... you haven't even made a dent compared to all the ones we've made. The Shield however, does own this ring. The Shield have been unstoppable since the first night we entered this building and we don't plan on changing that! Not for anybody! We've plowed through every superstar that's been thrown at us and every WWE legend and Hall of Famer have had the same fates. This here is OUR yard boys, and believe me when I tell you that it's going to STAY our yard! You're going to have to learn how to run with the big dogs because what we say goes! And if that's not how you 3 play then I've got news for you. You won't be the Beverly Hillbillies for very long because trust me when I say this, you test us again or you step on our toes, we will make it seem like you guys never even existed in this business. And if you think... if you seriously think that we're just going to let you 3 posers walk in and take over you're wrong! It ain't happening! Not tonight, not tomorrow night, not ever! You boys don't realize how close you are playing to the fire until it's too late and you're already burned to a crisp. So come on out fellas and let's see who the dominate force REALLY is!"
Wow! Dean is amazing on the mic! Smooth, on point, and doesn't miss a beat! Completely mesmerizing!
Just then Joe, Tyler and Jacob walked out and just like that The Shield had done to them, they surrounded the ring like a pack of wolves. The boys put up a good hard fight but they were no match for Romans spears. The show ended with The Shield standing tall.
