Annie and Dean had finally made it back to his home up in Las Vegas. She had been staying there for the past few days just so she could mentally take a break from everything that has happened. It was a rough couple of weeks for her and emotionally, she wasn't sure how much more she could stand of it.

Ever since Dean asked her to move in with him, she really hasn't given him a straightforward answer. It's not as though she was leading him on, it's only because since they really haven't been dating for that very long, she didn't want to rush things. But with all she had been dealing with, the company of Mr. Ambrose was well needed.

She also didn't want to be alone to deal with her father's mental fucked up abusive treatment of her. If she had to be honest, she felt like being away with Dean was the escape she needed.

The stress was taking a toll on her so bad that she was even losing weight. The last doctor appointment she had, she was told that she had lost over 10 pounds in the last 3 months as well as part of her hair was slightly breaking off but not to the point that she was bald.

Anyway, Dean didn't force her or pressure her about the move in, but rather suggested she stay with him to get away from all of the emotional pain and heartache of losing her mother.

She knew Dean meant well but it was truly hard to move on when she was so use to being around the one person she was ever close too more than anyone. She barely had any friends herself. Before she met Dean, she was use to being the loner and always on her own, no matter how hollow she felt inside.

Later that afternoon, She decided to go take a hot shower, wanting to wash the whole week and all her emotions down the drain. After she finished, she stepped out the shower, brushing her hair as she ignored the dark circles under her eyes, knowing it was because she was sleep deprived.

She stepped into the guest room, pulling out a black and gray striped cardigan sweater, a thin black tank top shirt, and a pair of black jeans, slipping on some socks, letting her hair air dry.

She wanted to explore Dean's place for a bit but from what she had seen so far, he seemed to be a very simple man with very nice tastes. Of course, she couldn't help but smile seeing different pictures of his Shield brothers and some people he knew when he had wrestled back in the Indies. She walked around some more, seeing that even though some things Dean had gotten were very expensive, at the same time he didn't overdo it. He didn't go all out just to impress anyone. It was either take it or leave it.

She heard the door open and there was Dean himself as he had set his bags down, bringing in some food for her to eat.

"Hey there doll face.' He smiled at her, his blue eyes reflecting his worry for her.

"Hey there, dummy." She said with a smile this time, reassuring him that she was teasing and not being insulting or difficult.

At least not right now anyway.

"I stopped by Chan's Sushi and brought us something to eat." He closed the door as he set the food down as Annie helped to set his bags near the couches.

"Thanks Dean but you didn't have too. Bad enough I feel like I'm overstaying my welcome..." She grabbed some plates for them to eat

"And I'm going to tell you once again so you better get it through that thick head of yours.." He looked at her dead in the face. "You are not overstaying your welcome. You need to get away from all of this. Take some time to take care of yourself. And I'm not going to let that rotten piece of shit talk down to you any kind of way and make you feel as though you don't have a fucking life to live."

"But Dean, it's just difficult.." she sighed as they sat down next to each other as they made their plates, the smell of the Spring rolls making her stomach growl, ready to just devour it in whole. "He was my mom's and my financial hold. He was the one paying the bills and helping my mom pay for all the medical bills and doing all of her copayments when I barely had enough to get by. Hell, before I could even take care of my mom, or in this case before I was financially able to take care of my mom, he was the breadwinner. It doesn't change the fact that I still hate him but I kind of owe him."

"I get that and I respect that. But honestly, you don't "kinda" owe him anything. Not one fucking thing, Annie.." His tone was serious now, even setting his food to the side. "I don't appreciate the way he talked to you at the funeral and I apologize for doing it at the wrong place and wrong time, but I'm not sorry that I punched his teeth down his throat and I would do it all over again because to me, you are worth it."

Annie couldn't hide the surprised look on her face, even if she wanted too. She was so surprised that Dean cared so much for her, despite how difficult she has been with him lately, especially with often shutting him off emotionally. She doesn't mean to do it intentionally but it's always been her defense to protect herself.

There was still so much she hasn't told Dean yet but she was grateful with how patient he was with her, especially with the fact that she was indeed a virgin anyway.

She smiled at him as she reached over and pecked him across the cheek and softly on the lips. "Thank you."

Dean returned her smile, stuffing another sushi roll in his mouth. "No problem buttercup. Now you better eat or I'll have to spank you."

Annie gasped, giving him a half glare even though she thought about just for that second. She wondered how Dean's touch would feel like and what he would be like if they had sex.

Her first time went down south ever since the death of her newly wedded husband, due to unfortunate circumstances. She had felt guilty over his death, even though she had no control over it and never knew of his condition, she still felt responsible.

After they finished their sushi and their beers, Annie asked Dean if she could be shown around a little bit more around his home. It was big but it wasn't a mansion or anything lavish and over the top. Even in this expensive home, it was still more of Dean's nature; Simple and to the point.

So Dean gave her a small tour to everything that consisted of his home. Annie couldn't help but giggle at Dean's attempt to make her laugh.

"Boom! Over here you got the hallway. Ghosts usually pop out or maybe there may be a two pound Gorilla might be in my closet. Don't be surprised if one day you find Sasquatch in there."

"Seriously? You're still on this Sasquatch thing?" She still giggled, sipping her beer as they made their way down the hall.

"Yes I am, ma'am." He winked at her. "Don't worry, if you find him in here one day, I'll scare him off with my horrible singing." He responded as he tickled her side just a bit.

"Oh shut up, I bet you sing better than anyone." She complimented him. "And actions speak louder than words you know."

"You're right, it does." He grinned, side eyeing the way her curves fit perfectly in a pair of black jeans she wore. Her damp hair was starting to curl up. He didn't say anything, not wanting to strike a nerve but he's noticed that she's been losing weight and knew it was because of all the stress she had been dealing with. He couldn't imagine having to take care of someone else with a disability and has been doing it for so long that they were losing themselves, their confidence and everything that was a part of them as a person. Not having any freedom and not doing anything for themselves.

Dean opened the door to his bedroom, which was amazing and Annie couldn't help but stare in awe at his room, especially with how detailed it was and the colors of it being a dark shade of gray and midnight blue, as well it matching the covers of his California king.

"It's beautiful." She couldn't help but smile at him as he shrugged a bit.

Well, it's boring to me, but I like that you like it." He smiled. "Maybe with you around, it won't be as boring as it is when I'm by myself."

Annie sat down on the bed, as he opened the door to the balcony, letting a nice breeze come through as he started to pull out some cigarettes, pulling out one as he started to light one up, inhaling the nicotine into his lungs, breathing it out through his nose as she watched him for a moment.

He went over to her as he let her take a hint. She accepted it as she put her lips on the cigarette, the orange glow lighting up at the end as she inhaled it, the smoke filling her lungs, letting it all out; All of her anxiety, all of her stress, and everything she felt bottled up.

Nicotine had a way of helping her in certain ways.

Dean couldn't help but watch her. "I'd never thought a woman like yourself could make cigarette smoking look so fucking sexy.."

Annie smirked as she smoked once more before handing it back to him. "Well, I am full of surprises."

"Indeed you are buttercup. You are playing a dangerous game..." The blue in his eyes getting into a darker shade.

"And what would that be.." She was started to get nervous yet she was also turned on.

"Teasing me and thinking that I won't do anything about it." He walked to her, going over to whisper in her ear. "I'm a patient man, but I'm tempted to just do other things to have you wet for me, begging for more."

"Oh trust me; I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve." She couldn't help herself as she teased him a little more.

Dean smoked the rest of the cigarette, putting it out into the ashtray on the dresser as Annie found herself scooting back on the bed as Dean grabbed her into a kiss, Annie moaning as she felt his tongue sliding right into her mouth. Dean couldn't help himself with the low groaning that was coming from him.

Dean and Annie really couldn't contain themselves as Dean was on top of her, their make out session was getting a little heated as Annie ran her fingers through his short dirty blonde hair. She was a little taken aback as Dean pinned her arms above her head, wanting to dominate as he kissed her. She whimpered a little as she could easily feel his erection through his jeans.

They kept swirling their tongues against each other, with Annie's breathing becoming a little bit shallow. She was really trying hard to be patient with herself but it was getting so difficult. Even though Dean wasn't forcing himself or pressuring her to take off her clothes, his mouth was hot enough to make her lose her mind. His hands would idly move up and down her body, palming her ass as he would squeeze it. She moaned softly as his mouth would travel over to the skin on her neck, his teeth biting and nibbling on her as she trembled underneath him. His kisses on her neck and then on her collarbone, slowly taking off only her sweater, it would just having her pussy aching and begging for it.

She wanted him to go a little further and she was almost at her breaking point with this.

Dean of course stopped as he planted one last kiss on her neck, but she gasped when he would pinch a nipple right through her blouse. She did a mock scowl at him but her moan escaped, indicating that she did like it.

"You're such a fucking asshole.." She breathed out. "Teasing me like this..."

"You ain't seen nothing yet, sweetheart." He gave her a dirty grin.

She had to lay on the bed for a minute, trying to catch her breath and to calm it down. "Still think I'm dead over here from what you did."

Dean couldn't help but laugh as her mouth was swollen, her hair was messed up, her clothes disheveled, and her nipple was now hard.

Living with Dean Ambrose was going to be quite unpredictable

They had gone out earlier as Dean had to do more training, as well as being stopped by fans, taking pictures and they definitely had to get ready for the upcoming Pay Per View that was coming in the very next month.

Dean had a match on RAW tonight and Annie decided to stay in the back and to watch him. She kind of felt out of place with the other divas but most of them made her feel very welcome, especially Paige.

"Hey, how are things going with you and Dean?" She smiled as Annie smiled, giving her a hug.

"It's been going pretty good. He's been very great ever since..well…my mom passed away." She sighed heavily.

Paige frowned. "I'm sorry about your mom. I can understand feeling that way. But don't let it get you depressed for long; After all, she would still want you to be happy and continue living your life."

"Yeah, as if I have a life at all." She muttered as Paige looked at her, confused.

"What do you mean by that?" She inquired.

"That's a long story I'll tell you for in another day." She smiled at her new friend.

"Well, you know I'm always here to talk if you need me." She smiled, giving Anna her cellphone number. "Don't be afraid to text me about anything, even if you just want to get shit-faced."

Annie laughed at that. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind."

As soon as the crowd cheered and got loud, she saw that Dean retained his title against Big E, she smiled, clapping for him.

"Sounds like a celebration will be in order.." Paige winked at Annie blushed. Of course, she saw the Bella Twins walk by, rolling their eyes as Paige flipped them off.

"Wow. They must've had a sip of Bitch Tea." Annie thought to herself, deciding to ignore them. She knew they thought she was just some gold digging ring rat but it was much further from the truth. In fact, not many people knew of her relationship with Dean except Paige and Naomi, who of course she was taken the night off.

Dean came back with Seth and Roman as they each grabbed some water, pouring all over themselves after a hard fought match which wore them down a bit.

"I'm going to go look for Annie. I think I saw her with Paige last time I remember." He told his brothers.

"Man, you and Annie have been pretty close as of lately." Roman commented, smiling for his friend.

"Yeah. She's actually an amazing woman. Hot head, stubborn, and unusual."

"Just how you like them." Seth added which made Dean chuckle.

"Yep. You know it. I like a challenge and I'm all for it." He smirked, heading out to find her.

He went to the café to find her but ran into Paige.

"Hey Dean, what's up?" She asked, biting into her sandwich.

"Have you seen my hothead buttercup." He chuckled.

"I think she went outside for a smoke." She nodded towards the back door.

Dean nodded, wanting to clean up for a few minutes before he went to go find Annie.

After he did what he had to do, he went to go find Anna before he had to go back with his Shield brothers later for their 6 man tag team match.

There he saw Annie who was smoking another cigarette and just looking up at the night sky. She eve saw a plane go nearby as she sighed heavily.

Dean watched as she pulled up on her phone, looking as though she was looking at different places as to where she wanted to go. He was close enough to where he could see what she was doing but quiet enough as to not startle her.

It looked like places of somewhere tropical and beautiful island and beaches.

She sighed once more, sounding sad. "A dream vacation for California is a waste of time. Never going to happen. My dad's right.."

Dean couldn't help but frown, seeing as how she had given up everything, even a dream vacation just because her responsibilities were seriously weighing down on her.

An idea went into his mind and he knew even though he had a very tight busy schedule, he could squeeze in some time to do something special for her.

He would get to work on it tonight as soon as RAW was over.

Annie was asleep in the guest room as Dean woke her up with some coffee. She sat up, grinning as she yawned a little, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"Thanks.." She yawned as she drank the coffee, feeling kind of drowsy.

"I hate to wake you up like this, darling but we got a busy schedule today and you're going to come with me.." He put her suitcase on the bed with his as well.

"Wait, what?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm not following you."

"We're going on a little impromptu trip, sort of." He smiled at her. "California."

Annie thought her eyes bulged big enough to where they would fall out. "You're serious." She stated.

He pulled out the tickets as Annie was even more shocked.

"Very, doll face." He stated. "Now hurry up and get packing so we can head to your dream spot. Our flight leaves in 2 hours."
