John goes to the back room of his tour bus and smiles at his love laying asleep. "Wake up sleepy head."

Celeste's hazel eyes slowly flutter open and she smiles. "Good morning."

"Good morning." He slips his arms around her back and nuzzles her neck, then gently rolls her over and holds her close. They kiss as he carefully climbs on top of her.

She pulls back her head back against the pillow. "Whoa, easy big guy."

John groans! "Woman, you drive me crazy." he says, rolling off of her.

"Hey it drives me crazy too. But…" Celeste sits up and flashes her engagement ring in his face. "If we make it legal we can do it whenever we want."

"I told you…schedule the wedding for our next weekend off." he responds. "Now get up. We're in Stamford. Remember Vince said he wants to talk to you about something."

"Yeah, I'm anxious to find out what it is."

Celeste and John head to the boardroom to meet with Vince McMahon and the creative team. Upon entering they also see Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. "Interesting." Celeste thinks.

Vince begins the meeting. "Now that everyone's here let's get down to business." He opens his notebook. "Celeste...you're going to be Seth."

"What?!" Celeste and all three Shield members exclaim, confused.

"You're splitting up the Shield?" Celeste asks. "Their storyline is still getting interesting.

Vince sighs, annoyed "How many times have I told you people I don't like being interrupted? Let me explain." Everyone quiets down and waits. "Celeste will be joining the Shield. I'm choosing Seth as your boyfriend because I think you two will look the hottest together." He looks toward Dean and Roman. "No offense."

Dean replies, "None taken."

Roman just laughs.

"You don't have an issue with your fiancée having an onscreen romance do you John?" Vince asks.

"No. Why should I? I mean I've got this angle with AJ." John smiles at Celeste. "I'm good with anything that might boost Celeste's career." Celeste smiles back at her fiancé. "Well… I'm okay with it too." She turns toward Seth. "How about you? I don't know you that well, but from what I've seen from FCW and NXT you're an awesome talent."

"Yeah. I'm cool with it." Seth answers.

"Well, you'll be getting to know each other pretty well." Vince states. "You'll be kissing in a few hours. Here are your scripts." Celeste, Seth, Dean and Roman are each handed a papers as Vince stands. "Meeting adjourned."

As Vince and the creative team exit the room Celeste leans toward John and whispers, "Did he just say "kissing"?"

John nods. "Yes."

"You sure it's cool with you John?" Seth inquires.

"Yeah, it's fine." John replies. She puts his arm around Celeste's waist. "I know my little woman loves me. Just like she knows it's nothing when I kiss AJ. Business is business. And you may thank me. She's a hell of a kisser!"

Celeste shoots him a death glare.

Seth laughs. "Cool. Well see you in a few hours then, Celeste." She just smiles nervously. After the Shield members leave she slaps John on the chest. "'It's fine'? What if it's not fine for me? And what's this about him thanking you?" she exclaims.

"I was teasing. What's wrong?" John asks bewildered.

"I've never had an onscreen kiss. And I'm still not completely confident in my acting skills."

"Aren't you the same woman who was General Manager for the night several months ago and gave Chris Jericho hell?"

She laughs. "Yes. That was pretty fun."

"It was great!" he states. "If you can cut a promo with Jericho, you can do just about anything. Come on. Let's go back to the bus and check out the script."

On the bus

"Under the mistletoe at the Christmas party. How appropriate." Celeste states.

"Are you still nervous? John asks.

"Yep."

"I got an idea." he proclaims."Let's hear it." she says.

"You gotta do camera blocking to set up the shot."

"Yeah?" She wonders where he's going with this.

"Just kiss him." he states matter-of-factly.

"Excuse me?" She's shocked by what her fiancé just said."Kiss him! I mean if you do it off camera you won't be so nervous about it on camera."

"You have a point. Hey, now don't tell me you practiced with AJ before your first onscreen kiss with her." she teases.

"Oh absolutely not! If you recall…" He leans his face down toward hers. "I practiced with you."

She chuckles, "I remember."

"So you wanna practice?" he asks.

"Sure." she replies before kissing him.

"Ready to set up your scene?" Stephanie McMahon asks Celeste. Celeste takes a deep breath and sighs, "Ready as I'll ever be." She nervously walks toward her spot.

The Shield walk up to her. "Okay…" Stephanie says. "I trust you all know your lines. So we'll just make sure the camera gets the mistletoe in the shot." The three men each smile at Celeste as she looks them over. Her eyes move over Seth's head to the mistletoe. She replays the conversation with John in her mind.

Seeing the mistletoe on the camera Stephanie states, "Okay good…Whoa!" To everyone's surprise Celeste grabs Seth's face in her hands and presses her lips to his. She pulls away and notices everyone, namely Seth himself staring at her in shock. She giggles.

"Wow! John was right. You are a hell of a kisser." Seth proclaims.

"You could have saved that for later." Steph clarifies.

"I know." Celeste begins. "I was nervous. So, John suggested I just go ahead and kiss you." she says looking into Seth's brown eyes.

"Okay." Seth responds. "Did it work?"

"Yeah, I think it did." Celeste answers.

"Great, Celeste may I speak with you privately for a moment?" Steph ask.

"Sure." The women step out into the hallway.

"Just a few points. Take a bit longer to look over Roman and Dean before kissing Seth. And…maybe be a bit more aggressive with the kiss. We want you looking powerful if you're going to join the Shield." Steph asserts.

Celeste feels her face getting hot. "Um…okay. Sounds great. I'll do it."

"Good." Steph walks away.

Celeste starts to head to the hair and make up department. "Hey." She turns to see Seth behind her."Hey."

"Sure you're over your nerves now?" he asks.

"Um…getting there." she replies.

"If you aren't comfortable maybe we shouldn't…"

"No! It's a good idea. I just…" She sighs. "Confession?"

"Yeah, shoot."

"You know how AJ doesn't seem to have a problem making out with half of the roster?"Seth nods. "Yeah."

"Well I'm not like that at all. You're only my third." Celeste declares.

"Third? I didn't realize you'd had other romantic storylines." he responds, confused.

"No, I mean you're only the third guy I've kissed…EVER."

Seth is taken aback. "Whoa. Really?"

Celeste glances down then back up. "Yeah. I'm serious. I gotta get to hair and make up. See you later."

Seth waves goodbye to her, his hand slowly lowers and he ponders what he's just heard.
