Chapter 7
Sighing as I snuggled down into my hooded sweatshirt as I sat upon a picnic table in the backyard, I needed to chill out. “Man she gets to me every time.” Feeling a pair of arms wrap around me, leaning against a muscular chest. “Thought I would find you out here. John told me what happen.” Dave commented. Sighing a bit, “You heard didn’t you?” “Unfortunately I heard the whole conversation. You alright?” Nodding my head some, “Yea I’m fine. She just loves to get us going then leave. I swear she does it for spite.” Dave chuckles deeply, “For as long as I’ve known you and John, she always gets you.” “Yea I know. I hate it.” Dave laid his chin upon her shoulder, “Relax. You handled her better than I would have.” Giggling a bit, “That’s true. You probably would have thrown her out the door.” “You got that right.” Silence over took us as we sat there, just enjoying one another’s company. “I heard you and John had a good conversation earlier today.” I commented. Dave sat up as I turned and looked to him, “He told you huh?” Nodding my head some, “Mhm. I’m happy the two of you get along. Cause if we get serious, I don’t want you two ending up killing one another.” Dave nodded his head some as he kept one arm wrapped around me, “I’ve got something to ask you.”
Turning myself as I sat indian style on the picnic table top, so he had my full attention. “What’s on your mind?” Dave sighed a bit, “We’re all heading on the road tomorrow, until about Christmas time, then we have two weeks off. I was hoping you would join me?” Sighing a bit as I lowered my head as I looked to him, “I don’t know Dave. I’ve got to look for a job.” “That’s also what I wanted to tell you. You’ve got a job.” Lifting a brow in question, “What are you talking about?” Dave chuckles a bit, “He didn’t tell you did he?” “Who?” “Your brother.” Shaking my head, “Uhh no. What’s going on?” Dave sat up from laying on his back, turning his full attention to Jessie. “We pulled together and got you a job with the company. You’re my PA. You’ll be working with me, but working for the company itself.” A surprised look came across my face, “You’re kidding?” Dave shook his head, “No I’m not. Things are getting hectic lately. I’m having a hard time keeping track of everything, so John and I came up with an idea of bringing you on as my PA. You can help the other guys out too. We didn’t know if you would do it or not, but mostly I want you to travel with me.”
I didn’t know what to say to what Dave had told me at first, then I was finally out of freeze mode and got my voice back. “I.. I don’t know what to say really..” Running a hand through my hair as I looked to him, “I’ll do it. I can’t sit around here by myself anyways. Mom’s gonna be with Layfield while he travels. You’ve got yourself a PA David.” He smiled broadly, “You don’t know how happy I am to hear that Jessie. But you will be traveling with your mom. Layfield and I are on the same brand don’t forget.” I rubbed the back of my neck. “Oh yea I forgot.” Dave chuckled, “But you will be seeing your brother from time to time. Just a fore warning.” I rolled my eyes, “Like I care.” Dave chuckled a bit, “Come on let’s head inside, get you packed and then relax. We’ve gotta get up early for our flights in the morning.”
Nodding as Dave got to his feet, picking me up into his arms as I wrapped his arms around his neck, legs around his waist. Our lips crashed in a gentle, passionate kiss. It felt like the numbing cold melted away and nothing but us and our body heat was there. Slowly pulling back as we looked into one another’s eyes. “Or we could do something else..” I whispered into his ear. Dave lifted a brow and growled a bit, “You read my mind.” Giggling as I was placed upon my feet, we headed inside to get our gear together for the morning, then spent the rest of the night making love.
****************************************************
Things were really hectic like Dave said. The last Pay-Per-View of the year was happening before the holidays, so the guys could off on their two week break and tapes would show while the rosters took a bit of time off. Sitting in front of a company laptop, going over schedules and making calls. I finally finished with the last schedule, putting my cell phone down upon the table top as I removed my reading glasses, rubbing my eyes. “If any changes happen, I’m gonna kill the script writers.” Hearing a knock on my office door as I lowered my hands, leaned back in my chair as I bellowed, “Door’s open, but your life is in your hands.” The door opened as my brother walked into the room, “Is that anyway to talk about family?” He answered as he smiled to me. “Yea it is.” Slowly getting to my feet as I wrapped my arms around his neck, “How you doing?” John returned the hug, “Alright. I had to come and see you and mom. The brands are together for the Pay-Per-View tonight.” Pulling back from the hug, “I knew that. I figured I would be seeing you sometime.”
“Keeping busy I see?” He questioned as I nodded. “Yea that and more.” John chuckles as I walk over to my chair, plopping into it. John taking a seat upon the love seat that was in my office. “So how are you and Dave doing?” Smiling broadly as I answer, “Fantastic John. Everything between us is awesome. Let me tell you, I’ve never been happy. Why ask?” “Because I ran into Dave and he wasn’t too friendly.” “You’ll have to excuse him. He has a big match tonight. He’s nervous and trying to concentrate on the match. He’s getting a title shot.” John nods his head, “Is that it? I thought it had something to do with you.” Shaking my head, “Nope. He’s been like that all day. I just take it with a grain of salt. I’m use to it.” Picking up my ringing cell phone, “Talk to me..” Motioning to John to hold on a minute. Picking up a nearby pen and sliding a yellow legal pad to myself as I made notes, “Yep... Mhm.. For tomorrow? I don’t know if I can get something like that together at last minute, but I can try. Yea.. Drop it by my office, I’m here. Thanks..” Shutting my phone as I sigh. “Work never ends huh?” John questioned. “Never. I have to make sure everything is together for a couple of signings, one is last minute. Dave isn’t gonna be happy.”
John lifted a brow, “Why would you say that? Dave doesn’t mind doing them.” “I know, but with Randy Orton?” John lifted a brow, “Who’s numb nut idea was that?” Shrugs, “You got me. But if Randy is hurt tonight against Taker, then it’s just Dave. I hope Taker murders him.” John chuckles, “You are starting to sound like a fan of the sport.” Giggling as I leaned back in my chair, “I always have been. We were growing up bro. It never left the blood. I watched it secretly.” Rolling my eyes as the sarcasm is heard. John sighs as he stands up to his feet, “Yea yea yea. I get it. I’ll let you get back to work. Don’t forget to watch my match. I’ve got a title shot myself tonight.” Nodding my head, “I wouldn’t miss it. Seen mom yet?” Shaking his head, “No I haven’t yet. I was about to go find her. Know where she is?” Thinking for a few minutes. “Either she is with the divas helping them with fashion tips for their outfits. Layfield got her that job or she is with Layfield. But..” Looking to my watch, “Right now Layfield is in a last minute meeting with Michael Cole. He hates those things so stay clear of him for ten minutes after that. So check with either Ashley or Mickie James. She’s probably with either of them if not they’ll direct you.” John nods his head as he opens the door, “Alright. I’ll talk to you before I leave the arena tonight.” Nodding my head, “If I’m not here, then I’m at a monitor or at Dave’s locker room.” John nods his head as he leaves on a hunt to find Evelyn.
