Endlessly ( A Dean Ambrose Story)

Chapter 14: Double Date

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

"So you were on a date?" Seth asked.
"No. It was just friends." I said.
"Dude, it was just you and her! It was a date!" Seth argued.
"It wasn't a date!" I said officially pissed off.
"Alright you two knock it off." Roman said sternly. We had just left our last interview and were heading back to the hotel.
"Who are you guys talking about?" Leighla, Seth's fiancee asked.
"There's a new Diva at WWE and she's caught the attention of our very own Ambrose, but he won't man up and her his." Seth said with a smile growing on his face.
"Jon, you've met someone?! I thought I'd never see the day!" Leighla gushed.
I honestly couldn't understand why it was so fascinating that I, Jonathon Good, liked someone.
"I'd like to meet her." Leighla said smiling gently.
"Yea! Bring her along! We could double date." Seth said.
"Seth, I never want to hear those words come out of your mouth ever again!" We all laughed.
"Alright I'll ask her." I said defeated. Seth grabbed his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Yes, earlier I called to make a reservation for two. Yes ma'am. I'd like to add two more please. Thank you! You too. Bye."
"Reservation?!"
"Dude relax! It's on me. You need to step up your game some anyway."
We arrived at the hotel, and I saw Annaleigh talking to Nikki Bella, Eva Marie, and Nataylia. I was so nervous, but I walked up to her. Shaking, I managed to get the question out.
"Hey Annaleigh."
"Hey Dean!"
"Listen, um... I was wondering if um... I made a reservation, well not me Seth did, but I was wondering if you'd like to um... go to dinner with me. Us! Dinner with us." Wow... nice job idiot!
"Sure! I'd love to go!"
"Cool. I'll pick you up at 8 then."
"Okay. See you at 8 then."
***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
"Did that just happen?! Dang! Miss Annaleigh has got a date!" Eva teased.
"With Dean Ambrose no less!" Nikki added. "You better dress hot! Dean Ambrose doesn't just ask anybody. Or anyone period. He must really like you!" This made me smile. I knew I was starting to like him too, but I had no idea about how he felt.
"I just realized I have nothing to wear!" I said starting to panic.
"Relax. I have the perfect dress! I bought it not too long ago but in the wrong size, and Nattie has a ton of shoes." Eva suggested.
I followed the girls and tried on a beautiful lilac dress that had white, laced roses on the bottom corners with a belt to form a good fit. I decided that this was the dress for tonight and I found the perfect shoes to match! I ran to my room and hurried to get ready.
"Where are you going all dolled up?" Tyler asked.
"It's not what, more like who." Joe teased. I rolled my eyes. "I'm just going out with a few friends."
"So a date." Joe answered.
"No. Just a few friends going out to eat."
"Who are these friends of yours?" Tyler asked.
"Dean, Seth and I guess Roman." I answered.
"Wait... The Shield?! Dude we're in a feud with them! You can't side with them!" Joe yelled.
"Yea you're fraternizing with the enemy!" Jacob included.
"You do realize that you're not ACTUALLY in a feud right? It's just a storyline." I explained.
"I don't like how Dean looks at you." Tyler said looking at the t.v.
"You don't like how any guy looks at me Tyler." I fired back.
"Ouch... burn!" Joe teased. Tyler gave me a hurt look but his attitude was seriously getting old.
"Look, I appreciate the concern, but I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. And I'm allowed to have friends. Anyways, how do I look?" I asked. Tyler, Joe, and Jacob looked in my direction and all said that I looked beautiful. Now it's just the waiting game.
***Dean's P.O.V***
"Man this is too much." I said messing with my suit.
"It's a date. You have to look sharp!" Seth said.
"But a suit? A reservation? Why not just a normal dinner and a movie? That's more practical." I suggested.
"Dude you can't take a girl like Annaleigh to a dinner and movie. You've got to impress her." I shrugged it off. There was no point in arguing.
I picked Annaleigh up and she looked stunning! She smiled at how I was dressed. I felt sheepish. She swore I looked great, but I felt silly. We met up with Seth and Leighla and got into the limo. Yep. A bit overboard.
We made it to the restaurant and found our table. We ordered our wine and dinner. We spent most of the time talking and laughing. I couldn't take my eyes off of Annaleigh. Her eyes, her laugh, her smile... everything about her was beautiful and the candlelight was illuminating that beauty.
"So Annaleigh, what made you want to get into wrestling.?" Leighla asked.
"I've been a fan of the sport since I was 8. So I decided to pursue a career in it." She answered.
"Is it what you expected?"
"I honestly didn't know what to expect. I had a very open mind. It's still so surreal to us."
"Us?"
"My friends and I. We started together and got hired together."
"Wow! I bet that helps having them."
"It does! It's nice to share this adventure with them."
"So where are you from?"
"Texas."
"Wow! You're a long way from home."
"Yea but it's a nice change."
"So are you single? Married?" I almost choked on my drink. What was Leighla thinking?!
"No. Not married." Annaleigh answered.
"So boyfriend?"
"No."
"Kids?"
"No no kids. Maybe someday though." She answered with a laugh.
"So are you interested in someone?" Leighla asked with a smile. I knew what she was doing. Curious as I was, I had to put a stop to this.
"Uh..." Annaleigh said with a shy laugh.
"So... are we ready to go? We have a long day tomorrow. We should turn in early." I intervened. Annaleigh smiled at me with relief.
We left the restaurant and headed back to the hotel. I walked her to her room and was confronted by one of the Outlaws.
"So what's your plan Ambrose?" The blonde asked.
"Plan?" What the hell is he talking about?
"Is she your plan?" He asked nodding towards Annaleigh.
"I don't have a plan."
"Uh-huh. I see what you're trying to do. Your dating her to throw off our game. Well, let me tell you something, it won't work! And I'm not going to let you hurt Anna in the process." He continued.
"What's your problem?!" I'm starting to get pissed.
"YOU'RE my problem!" He said getting in my face. "You're going to stay away from her."
"Hillbilly, she's a grown woman. She can think and do for herself. And as for me, you don't know a damn thing about me or what my intentions are! So you need to get the hell out of my fa-"
"ENOUGH!!!" Annaleigh got between us. "We're not doing this! This is stupid! Wake up and realize that this "feud" thing is just a stinking storyline! Meaning... NOT REAL! Get over your egos! Dean, thank you and goodnight! Tyler, leave him the hell alone and get inside! Let's just drop it!" With that she went inside while her friend and I had a stare down. I knew what this was about, I'm not stupid. Hillbilly liked her... alot. And I am a threat. But if she shared his feelings they would already be together.
After the confrontation I made my way back to the rooms.
"That was a long goodbye." Seth teased.
"Don't start assuming. Nothing happened. Her hillbilly friend kind of ruined the moment." I explained.
"What'd he do?" Roman asked buffing up.
"Oh just that I'm using Annaleigh to get to them and that I need to stay away from her...blah blah blah."
"What?! You're not going to listen him to him are you?" Leighla asked.
"Why are you so worried about what I do with Annaleigh?!" I asked annoyed.
"I'm not! It's just I know you like her and I honestly like her for you. You're different around her. You smile more, you stare at her in admiration... you're happy. I haven't't seen you like that in a long time. She's a good girl Jon. You need that. I just don't want you giving up before you even try." She said in a friendly tone.
"Yea! She's be a nice little addition to The Shield family." Roman added with a grin. I shook my head. These guys never let up.
I took a shower and laid down. As I as about to turn off the light, my phone went off. I looked and saw that I had a text and looked at the clock. 11:45pm. Curious as to who would be texting me this late at night, I opened my phone to see what it said.

Unknown Number: Hey! It's Annaleigh. Thank you so much for tonight! I had a a lot of fun!

Me: Anytime. I'm glad you had fun., I did too.

Annaleigh: Listen, I 'm really sorry about Tyler. He had no right to talk to you the way he did.

Me: It's no big deal. Guys like him don't scare me.

Annaleigh: I know but still. It was uncalled for and embarrassing! It's just that he likes me and can't get it through his thick head that I don't feel the same way.

Me: Ha. I figured that was his problem. It's okay really. I'm not bothered by it.

Annaleigh: Okay good. Well anyways, I'm about to head to bed. Just wanted to say thank you for tonight and apologize about Tyler. Goodnight Dean! Sweet dreams!

Me: Goodnight to you too, Annaleigh. Sweet dreams too.

Annaleigh: Oh hey! Are you heading back home for your days off?"

Me: Yea.

Annaleigh: Cool. Us too. Maybe we could hang out and do something.

Me: Sure.

Annaleigh: Okay night!

So she did know that he liked her. Wait... She texted me! And here I thought she didn't even remember I put my number in her phone. I went to bed that night happier than I've been in years.
