CHAPTER 70

''Faith! Faith over here!''

I could hear Deans voice calling me, but I couldn't see him, as the Chicago airport car park was packed out with people!

What was going on...I thought, scanning my eyes round the sea of people for him.

Just then my cell began buzzing...''Hey Dean, where are you? I can't see you anywhere'' I moaned, still looking round the busy airport for him.

''Turn to the left...no wait that's your left, my bad. Okay so turn to the right'' Dean said, and I felt like I was doing an Irish jig with all this turning back and forth ''...okay, now you see that sign that reads 'lost and found?'' he asked.

''Uh huh'' I said, looking over at the big lettering on the sign post.

''Well, you found me kiddio! Look down'' I could see him waving away at me in his usual white tank, leather jacket, and skinny denims.

''Dean!'' I I waved back, so see him at that moment so we could get out of this maddening at the airport. Closing my phone, I quickly grabbed my suitcase,and made dash for it through the crowds!

''Soooo sorry dollface'' he said, rushing over to grab my suitcase as I neared him ''I couldn't get the car any closer with all these people around'' he told me ''anyway, how ya doing, you ok?'' he asked, hugging me warmly.

''Yeah, I'm goodthanks'' I said hugging him back ''but what's going on why its so busy?'' I said, staring my eyes round at the crowds.

''Bomb scare'' Dean said.

My eyes widened! ''What?!'' I gasped, looking at him horrified!

''I'm only joking doll!'' he laughed ''It's the day after Earth Day, and people are still bustling about, and campaigning and stuff'' he shrugged.

''Oh yes of course'' I nodded ''jeez two weeks out of commission and I've practically fallen off the face of the earth...no pun intended'' I chuckled, making Dean chuckle too ''still through, that wasn't funny!'' I said hitting him hard ''you have a sick sense of humour Ambrose you know that? I dunno how Paige puts up with you sometimes'' I laughed in disbelief, at the same time wondering what dark secretes she knew about him behind closed doors...

''Aah, she's used to it'' he winked playfully ''so, how was your flight doll? You hungry? Cause I gotta cuppla pizza slices in the car if you want...'' he grinned opening the door for me.

''My flight was good thank you...the food however wasn't'' I moaned, tuning my nose up at it ''so yes please as I'm actually starved right now!'' I smiled, and quickly jumped in.

''Pizzas on the back seat'' he pointed, as he ran round and got into the driver's side.

''Aw thanks Dean'' I grinned, taking a huge chunk that had extra cheese and pepperoni on it ''mmm....yummy!'' I said, wolfing piece after piece inside my mouth.

''Its good right, I got it from 'Ginneys' I thought they only had the one in Cincinnati. And I ate like six slices in like the space of 5 minutes'' he stated happily.

''Oh I love Ginneys! They catered for us once at a Christmas par....'' my voice quickly trailed off at the memory.

''You ok Doll?'' Dean asked looking across at me concerned.

I quickly brushed that night to the back of my head, and put a brave smile on my face ''oh yeah, I'm fine'' I told him ''I guess I just got a little homesick for a second there''

''Aww boy, I know how that feels'' he nodded ''and hey, don't tell Roman, but we sooo gotta fist bump for being from the best state in the US right?!'' he smiled extending his fist to me.

''Go Ohio!'' I grinned, fist bumping him back.

''Yeah that's right baby!' he cheered, reaching over and grabbing himself another slice of pizza from the box on my lap, and shoving it ion his mouth ''That's seven slices now'' he chuckled, with his mouth full.

''Dude, that's not something to be proud of'' I laughed at him ''I'm just surprised you haven't made yourself sick already'' I teased ''seriously, how does Paige cope with you'' I giggled.

''I can eat anything doll, I'm Dean Ambrose, and my girl loves me'' he said proudly.

''No, you're just crazy, but yeah she does love you'' I smiled ''speaking of, uh...Paige she mentioned she didn't actually see you that night in the hospital, you know when you flagged me down on the road'' I said casually.

''Man you ladies love to gossip huh?'' Dean chuckled, looking sideways at me.

''Well she said th...-''

''Did I really freak you out that much Faith? Jeez doll, you gotta learn how to chill a little'' he frowned ''it was a spontaneous thing alright, I wanted to see my girl before heading off to Canada for comic-con'' he told me ''unfortunately when I got there though she was sleeping. The doc said she was doped up on painkiller meds which makes you kinda drowsy, so yeah, technically she didn't see me alright'' he said sounding slightly irritated.

''Sorry Dean, I was just asking'' I said quietly.

''No, no I'm the one who's sorry...'' he said, rubbing my arm with a huge sigh ''...I shouldn't have snapped at you like that doll, I just miss her is all you know? And I was pissed cause I never thought to bring her a gift or something so she would know I came to visit when she woke up. Now I dunno when I'll get the chance to see her again'' he said sadly.

''Don't do that to yourself Dean, it's gonna be ok, Paige knows how much you love her, and she knows what it's like being on the road so...'' my voice trailed off when I saw his eyes watering slightly.

''You really love her don't her don't you'' I said softly.

''She's my everything doll'' he smiled back.

I wasn't used to seeing that side of him, as he was usually goofing around and telling jokes all the time, but the few times I did, I found it really sweet and humane. I didn't want to believe he was the kind of guy who could ever do anything like what happened to me, but at this early stage...I wasn't ruling anything out either.

''So what we listening to girl?'' he asked, changing the subject now.

''Country of course'' I said automatically.

''Country of course'' Dean said at the same time, and we both laughed.

''Country it is!'' he grinned, and turned on the radio, fiddling round with the tuner until he found the channel.

He then turned to me with a cute grin and said ''strap up kiddo, I'm taking you on the ride of your life!'' and with that, he put the car in drive and sped us out of the airport!

''Woa Dean! Slow down before you get us both killed!'' I yelled out to him, gripping the seat in horror.

''I live fast, and I drive fast, that's just me doll'' he shrugged ''besides, you already got a meeting with the grim reaper, or Stephanie as she prefers to be called these days'' he joked.

''Again, not funny'' I said, rolling my eyes playfully at him ''I'm so nervous to see her after what I did, you know? Plus Hunters gonna be there too Stephanie told'' I said with a sigh ''oh boy, I just wanna get the papers signed already, and get back in the ring you know?''

Dean nodded.

''So um, how's Summer? Have you seen her?'' I asked timidly.

''Seen her? You can't help but see her'' he chuckled ''she's had to wear one of those face compression things over the last two weeks, making her head looks like it was dressed by a Mummy'' he laughed loudly.

''That's not funny Dean'' I said hitting the side of his leg ''I already feel like shit for what I did to her, and it was all for nothing 'cause she was talking about Seth the entire time'' I said looking down with guilt.

''Oh yeah I heard'' he chuckled again, although making a face a thought of it ''well if you ask me doll, she had it coming'' he shrugged casually ''she's always been a bit of a mean girl, okay a lot, and people talk you know. I guess she finally met her match'' he winked over at me.

''I'm not a mean girl'' I protested ''I was protecting my relationship, and honouring Paige'' I said in defence.

''Either way'' he shrugged, then made another disapproving face as he said ''I honestly don't what Seth sees in her, apart from those plastic headlights she paid for, she's pretty much an airhead. Oh god, I hope they haven't done it in this car...eeewww! Or worst yet where I'm sitting'' he said, screwing up his face in disgust as he drove..

''Why would they do it in your car?'' I asked confused.

''I drive a Lamborghini Doll'' Dean informed me proudly ''this is Seth's car, he missed the flight with us this morning, so he drove down in his car all the way from Davenport. He and Roman got a meeting with Vince this afternoon, so he said I could use it to come pick you up, save money on getting a rental ya know''

''Yeah I guess'' I said, looked around...made sense I thought: blue leather interior, boobie medallion hanging from the rear view mirror, and a set of blue headphones on the dash...yep, this was definitely Seth's car alright.

''Oh man'' Dean carried on ''I can't wait to get in the ring and kick the crap outta one Luke Harper tonight! They had me waiting this long for my IC Title rematch, now I'm hungry for it, and that gold is mine!'' he said confidently.

I immediately joined in with his enthusiasm ''oh yeah I saw what happened, it was Rowan that jumped you right?''

Dean nodded.

''Seriously though, if it was any of you guys that pulled a trick like that, there'd be all hell to pay'' I stated.

''Spoken like a true Shield supporter'' he winked, leaning over and fist bumping me again.

''Eva better not try any tricks in our matchup tonight'' I said, with a sour sting in my voice..

''Don't think she has a choice'' he said quietly.

''What's that now?'' I asked curiously.

We had just reached the Allstate Arena, where Dean turned into the car park, and slowed the car down looking for a space.

''Aww hell, you're about to find out in a few moments anyways, um...Eva Marie failed the companies 'Wellness Program' for like the second time while you were off, and now the WWE has had it with her now. Her contracts been terminated''

''Oh!'' I gasped in surprise.

''Yeah, that's why Nikki Bella got the win back on the Divas Championship two weeks ago. And because the show must go on, your match with her tonight now has a stipulation...you're gonna be in a 'I QUIT' match with Eva, which she will of course loose, justifying her departure from the WWE'' he said looking over at me.

''Well damn...'' I said looking at him in shock...okay, so that's why Stephanie changed the date on my match with Summer tonight...I thought.

''Right'' he said, looking over at my surprised face.

As much as I despised Eva, I had kinda gotten used to having her around, even if it was just to give each dirty looks in the locker room. I gotta admit...I felt bad for her.

''Earth to Faith? Hellloooooo?'' Dean said, waving his hands in front of my face.

''Oh sorry, I was just thinking about Eva I guess'' I said looking down

''Well start thinking about yourself girl'' Dean said rather seriously ''you got a lot riding on you tonight doll, with the boss and with the fans'' he said ''and speaking of, you better get in there, your meeting with Steph's in like what...ten minutes?'' he said looking down at his watch.

''Oh shoot, is that the time already?!'' I panicked looking down at my own watch...damn! I just realised I never got a chance to really do my little investigation on Dean. Oh well,no time now, I gotta get in there before Stephanie kills me for being late!

''Come on doll, get going, I'll catch up with you later ok'' Dean said ''plus I need to get Seth's car parked before all the spaces filled up'' he chuckled.

I nodded and quickly jumped out, where I was almost knocked over by an almighty gust of Chicago wind! My hair was flying everywhere, and I shivered loudly while I stood in the icy cold car park ''Brrrrrrrrrrrr.....hh...my..god...its freezing here!'' I moaned, rubbing my arms up and down.

''Kinda makes you wish you were in LA now right?'' he grinned, leaning out the window.

''No kidding!'' I said, rubbing my arms some more.

''Here'' Dean said, quickly unzipping his hoodie ''...take this''

''No, I'll be ok'' I smiled, waving my hands dismissively.

''Come on doll, just take it'' he insisted ''it's like a two minute walk from here to the entrance, and you'll catch pneumonia before you get inside!'' he warned.

''Aww okay, and thanks Dean'' I smiled gratefully, and quickly grabbed the hoodie from him before it blew away in the wind ''you're the best!''

''Yeah I know'' he teased, winking up at me again, followed by ''...see you in there!'' as he put the car back in drive, and sped through the looking for a space.

Oh no my suitcase!

''Dean?! Dean?!'' I yelled out to him.

''Don't worry...'' he heard him yell ''I'll bring your suitcase up to the locker!'' he said, waving his arm out the car.

''Thank yoooooouuuu'' I yelled back waving after him, then quickly pulled the hoodie on, and zipped it up over my head.

That's better! I thought, instantly warming myself in the large hoodie, while walking as quickly as I could toward the arena doors... hm...hm hm...hm...eww yuk....what's that smell? I thought, stopping to look around me...it smelt awful! And the same time, awfully familiar..

I looked down at my watch again...shit, just five minutes to go! I had no time to think about it now, because if I was even one second late, Stephanie would have my head on a platter!

The wind began picking up more strongly now, so I shoved my hands inside the pockets of Dean's hoodie, and started sprinting towards the arena doors.

What's this...I thought, pulling something out the pocket as I ran....

Suddenly my entire body froze! And I stopped dead in my tracks, looking down at the familiar mask in my hand....
