It hadn't been easy next morning to convince her to go tell Hunter and Stephanie about Randy's tendency to stalk her at work, but she knew it had to be done. Her bosses had listened, and most importantly, they had believed her. They had contacted the arena from the night before to get the footage from the security camera, and they had hit a dead end. The footage had mysteriously disappeared.

Dean took it upon himself to become her personal security guard every night. Roman and Seth followed their friend, but she knew he was the one pulling the strings on that one. She was grateful nonetheless.

For three days Randy had only set foot in catering to get food and drinks, and he quickly walked out of there everytime. Probably because Dean couldn't help but stare daggers at Randy and even adding a low growl. A rabid dog ready to attack.

It had been three heavenly days without Randy being able to get anywhere near her. Also three days where she had traveled with them on their bus. Three days in Dean's bunk bed. Three days of safety with three good men that were ready to protect her at all costs.

"It's bad for me to hang out with you so much," Dean licked the frosting of the cupcake. "Mmm, these banana/lime cupcakes are the best. Stop making them. I'm gonna end up fat."
"You'll still be hot," she winked.
"You'd date me if I was bigger?" He asked.
"Of course. I always go for what's on the inside," she answered.
"And that's why Randy could never get in your pants," he laughed. "He's the most ugly fucker on the inside. And on the outside too."
"Hey!" Roman looked up from his phone. "We're wanted in Stephanie's office."
"She texted you?" Dean asked.

Roman nodded and showed Dean the text.

"Let's go see what the princess wants then," Dean sighed.
"We'll be right back, Vivian," Seth said.
"I'll pack the remaining cupcakes for the road," she said.
"Could you peel a couple of carrots for me?" Seth asked. "Please!"
"Sure thing," she answered.

The three men walked into Stephanie's office three minutes later. Hunter closed the door behind them, locked it, and took out the key.

"Secret meeting?" Roman chuckled.
"Just playing it safe," Hunter said.
"So what's up?" Dean asked.
"I just figured we could talk a little," Stephanie answered.
"Talk? About what?" Seth asked.
"How are you all doing?" Stephanie asked.
"What is this? You didn't call us down here just to make small talk," Roman said.
"You're right. I'm just buying us some time," Stephanie answered.

Dean's palms became sweaty. Something wasn't right. He needed to get out of there. He needed to be with Vivian.

"No, no, no!" He tried opening the door. "Unlock it! Right fucking now!"
"Dean, calm down," Hunter said.
"It's a fucking trap!" Dean snarled.
"Yes, it's a trap, but not for you. We just need Randy to step over the line. We got eyes on her," Stephanie turned the laptop around. "Look."

They all looked at the screen that showed Vivian in the kitchen peeling carrots for Seth.

"We know he somehow got the footage from the other day. We also know they're hidden on a usb stick that's currently around his neck," Hunter said.
"Don't do this to her," Roman pleaded.
"We won't let him hurt her. We just need enough to press charges, or at least get him fired," Stephanie said.
"There he is," Seth said.

They all stared at the screen as Randy came into sight. They couldn't hear what he was saying, but there was no need. He expressed it all too well when he pressed up against her, and trapped her between his body and the counter. She tried pushing free, but he wasn't letting go.

"Fuck this!" Dean growled. "Unlock this door right now, or so help me god, I'll break it down!"
"Dean," Hunter tried.
"I warned you!" Dean growled.

He started kicking at the door. Seth and Roman quickly moved in to help him. A couple of hard shoulders into it as well finally made them break through.

"Idiots!" Stephanie hissed.

Dean took off running.

"You better pray that she's safe because we're not stopping him if she's not, and he'll come for your heads," Roman said.

Dean heard Randy scream in pain just before sprinting into catering.

"You stabbed me with a potato peeler!" Randy howled.
"That's my girl," Dean said lowly.

He ran towards them, and kicked the potato peeler that was sticking out of Randy's thigh. Randy howled even louder in pain but that didn't stop Dean. He jumped on Randy, raining down punches without stopping.

"Dean!" Roman's voice sounded. "Stop!"

Dean didn't stop. He felt hands on his arms, and he knew it was Roman and Seth trying to pull him off Randy. He grabbed the usb drive around Randy's neck and tore it off while he was being pulled back.

"Easy!" Seth said.
"If you ever come near her again, I swear to god I'll kill you!" Dean yelled.
"Down, boy!" Roman chuckled. "He gets it."
"Now we can't press charges," Stephanie said.

Dean hadn't even noticed that she and Hunter had arrived too until she spoke up.

"But you can still fire him, right?" He asked.
"Of course," she smiled.
"Good," Dean said.

He pulled himself free from Roman and Seth's grips, and pressed the usb drive into Hunter's chest.

"And if he ever tries reporting what I did, you got this to back up your case. I only did what any man would do for his woman," he said.
"Your woman?" Seth chuckled.

Dean blocked out Randy's cries. He stepped over the man, and walked over to Vivian that still stood pressed against the counter.

"You came," she said.
"Of course," he said.

He ran his fingers through her caramel brown hair, gently pushing it out of her face. He made sure her focus was on him while he used his body to shield her from Randy on the floor.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked.
"Yes," she whispered and nodded. "I'm ready."
"Let's go then," he said. "Oh, and one other thing."
"What?" She asked.

He pressed his lips to hers in a soft kiss. There was a sassy smile on his face when they broke apart. None of them spoke. She smiled back at him, knowing what unspoken words were in that kiss and that smile of his.

"You two better be fucking quiet tonight, or I'll be a grumpy bear in the morning," Roman said.
"Uh, my carrots," Seth stepped over Randy too. "Gotta have my midnight snack. Thanks Vivian."
"Stephanie! Hunter!" Randy whimpered.
"Right," Hunter looked down at Randy with an amused look on his face. "You're fired, Randy."
