Sami's POV:

"So, what was that all about?" I asked as Mox and I waited in the the comic book store parking lot. Jersey Devil had to run in and buy new comics and we both offered to come in but she said she wouldn't be long. And like idiots, we believed her. I didn't care because waiting on her is pretty much what I've been doing for awhile now. The radio interview was pretty successful and tons of fun. It was publicity not only for Dean and AJ but some for me as well. Which is always, I quote Triple HHH, Best for business. One thing, however, bothered me heavily about that interview and that was the last thing Moxley said about marriage and kids with her. It just didn't sit well with me.

"What was what about, Sami?" He turned around in his seat to face the back where I was sitting. "Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I'm talking about." "Sami, seriously." "The slick comment about the marriage stuff. What do you mean we'll see? Did you get AJ pregnant?" "Oh that. No, I didn't get her pregnant. Relax. We'll see means just that. We'll see. I mean who knows what the future might hold for April and I? The world is ours after all." "Do you hear yourself right now?"

Mox nodded and I shook my head looking out the window. It's not fair. He's never been the marriage type and kids? Simply out of the question. Now, because he has April in his life, everything has changed. Don't get me wrong, he's still crazy and unpredictable. Still talks to himself occasionally but now, he has no interest in stuff like strop clubs and getting wasted. It's like he does nothing without her approval or without letting her know what he's gonna do. I don't know it's weird. "Sami?" I paused then looked at him. Dean gritted his teeth as he spoke, "I know this is hard for you." "What?" "Being around not only us but other couples and seeing them all over each other. I know it's hard for you because you've been single for like a year and a half. But you have to understand that I'm in love with AJ and eventually, marriage will come up and kids will appear. You do know that don't you?"

Of course I know that. I have nightmares about it all the time. I don't want AJ with him, I want her with me. Mox is a great guy and all but I'm just a selfish, spiky haired bastard that just wants her to myself. That's terrible. That's terrible to think about but it's true. It's like I'm torn. I don't want to cause trouble and "take her" from him. He's my best friend. We've been best friends longer than I knew AJ and I've been through a lot with him. On tv, people see Dean Ambrose as a really messed up individual and in real life, Jonathan Good was no different. People always take from him. Steal from him. Drugs stole his mom. Cops stole his dad. His mom's boyfriend stole, literally, everything inside of their house. And now, Seth...Seth stole The Shield away from him by splitting them up and spitting in their faces.

And who am I to take part in the "Lets rob from Jon game"? I can't do that. Besides myself, Roman, AJ, and even Alicia (at times) is all he has left. I think he's still friends with Renee though but I'm not sure. Point is, I can't just have these feelings for AJ and act on them because I'd just be on the list of people who have stabbed him in the back. So, what do I do? Do I follow my heart and lay out my feelings or do I hold back and keep my best friends together? Option B sounds pretty reassuring don't you think? "I know that, Jon." "Sami, I know I seemed pretty harsh during the party about the pizza thing but it's not easy hearing that someone else is in love with my AJ. To know that it's just so easy to fall for her and that anyone can. Anyone can just....take her..I mean I, I don't know.."

I watched him as he sat straight and stared outside of the windshield. I couldn't read the expression on his face but his voice was calm and he seemed kinda sad. I listened to him say, "Aj, she uh, she just kind of happened. Like, I had no intention of ever actually dating her you know? I mean yeah okay I was attracted to her and whatnot but at the time, she was with Phil. They were in this picture perfect life and they were engaged for like, uh..four? Four or five months? A really long time. I was banging Summer and I knew that wasn't gonna blossom into anything else but I settled for less I guess you can say. And then suddenly, everything kind of shifted. I'm not gonna get into it because you know the story but the point is like..I didn't plan for this to happen and I don't care if it wasn't suppose to because that woman in the comic bookstore, your Jersey Devil, that's all that's left of my sanity."

You could hear the power of emotion in his voice as he spoke. Usually, when he's not in character, it sounds like he's just rambling on and on about stuff when he talks. But not this time. You can hear that he believes in every word and you can tell that he really, truly loves AJ. It's not like it was in CZW where all we did was bang numerous rats (groupies) and pray to God none of them ended up pregnant. We were pretty wild and we just simply did not care. It's like the Jon Moxley I knew grew up to be this very calm, relaxed guy instead of this pissed off, disrespectful cunt that he was. "I get it man. Love has changed you." "I know. It's fucking disgusting is what it is."

We both laughed a little harder than necessary and I reached punching his shoulder. "Sami, I have to show you something." "Dude, as gay as your sounding, I swear to god if you're about to whip out your dick I'm gonna kick your ass." He started laughing again and I smiled. That's the guy I know. Laughing at my pointless but funny comments. "Dude, no. Just wait. Look on the other side of you in that middle console type thing, lift it, and you'll see what I'm talking about." "I swear to god if this is a snake. You know how I feel about snakes." "Just open the damn thing, will ya?"

And that's what I did. I clicked the button then lifted the top of it. I gasped when I saw what he was talking about and, deep down, it pissed me off at the same time. "Is that-" Dean nodded as I reached and grabbed the black box at the bottom. "Open it." I didn't have to open it to know what it was but, because he asked me to, I opened it anyway. Inside of this little black box, was a diamond ring.

An engagement ring...
