Adventures of Chris Harris and Jessie Fisher

Prologue : Meeting You

April 16 , 2008 Denver , Colorado , ROH - After Jessie ' s Debut

" I can ' t believe I won my first match here in ROH . It was an uphill battle , but I got it done . " Jessica Fisher said . Jessica , normally called Jessie , got hooked with wrestling when she was in grammar school when a friend came to her asking if she would go with her to one of the local shows . Jessie went to the show , loved what she saw , and decided her career path would be pro - wrestling .

After high school Jessie went to the Booker T Wrestling Camp in Houston , Texas and he taught her everything he knew about pro- wrestling . She also just recently got back from a two year stay in Mexico where she was wrestling for AAA . Jessie had wanted to come back to the states about a year ago , but waited until she could find a good spot to wrestle and that is when an ROH agent called and wanted her to wrestle for them . So , here she is fresh off of her first victory with many more to come . Jessie even felt refreshed after the shower in the locker room . She decided to go ahead and call Booker to tell him the good news about her victory .

" Hello , this is Booker T . " Jessie heard her mentor ' s voice at the other end of the phone .

" Hey Booker , its Jessie , how are you ? " Jessie asked him .

" I ' m good kiddo . How about you ? " He asked .

Jessie looked up to see a guy with long , dark hair watching her through a pair of dark shades , he was sitting on a production crate .

" I can ' t complain . " Jessie answered Booker .

" How did your debut in ROH go , Jessie ? " Booker asked .

" Wow , word travels fast in the wrestling grapevine . I won my debut of course . You didn ' t think I would lose after I had such a great teacher ? " Jessie asked .

" I didn ' t think you would , but you never know these days . " He said sarcastically .

" Hey cut the sarcasm , that is suppose to be my job . " Jessie laughed .

" Yeah well I am the one who taught you sarcasm . " Booker chuckled .

" See I told you I had a great teacher , but I thought my sarcasm came from my Houston , Texas blood ? " She questioned looking back at the man watching her as the anxiety inside of her started to rise .

" That might be part of it , too . " Booker answered .

" How is Sharmell ? " Jessie asked .

" She ' s good , but she has me this Honey - To - Do list that is about seven pages long . " Booker chuckled again .

" Yeah , and I bet you get a good scowling if you miss anything , am I right ? " Jessie asked .

" You ' re right . " He answered .

" Mom has one for Ben that is just about the same size , plus a shopping list that is similiar in length , too . " She said ignoring the guy .

" Well , that sucks . " Booker said .

" I know , but mom does most of the cooking so I guess he has to do his share , too . But , anyway I need to go figure out when my next match is . So , I will let you go and get back to that To - Do list . " Jessie told him .

" Cut the sarcasm . " He said .

" Sorry , couldn ' t resist . " Jessie chuckled .

" I bet , well you keep up the good work and you will make it to the big time for sure , kid . " Booker told her .

" I will , bye , Booker . " Jessie said to her mentor .

" Bye , Jessie . " He said and then hung up the phone .

She looked back up at the production crate and the guy was now looking at the adjacent wall . Jessie walked over to him .

" Uhm , were you watching me ? " Jesie asked the man once she got to him .

" Yes , I was . Sorry , I didn ' t mean to stare , but I was watching your match earlier and was going to come and talk to you when I saw you come out of the locker room . But , you were on the phone and I didn ' t want to interrupt . " He said his voice was deep , but there was a hint of a southern accent to him except for the typical twang .

" So , you are a well - mannered stalker and not a creepy stalker . I feel much better knowing the difference . " Jessie rolled her eyes .

" Hey now I wasn ' t stalking , but wondering if you would want to go out and celebrate ? " He asked holding his hands up innocently .

" I don ' t even know your name and you are asking me out ? " She questioned him .

" Chris Harris . " He said holding his hand out .

" Jessica Fisher . " She said shaking his hand . He was muscular and his arm had a good amount of strength to them .

" So are you Wildcat , Chris Harris by any chance ? " Jessie asked him .

" Yes , I am . " He said .

" Former TNA and WWE superstar . Wow , and I thought I had credentials with a great mentor and being from AAA , but I can ' t even measure up to your standards , now can I ? " Jessie asked him .

" According to whom your mentor is ? " He asked .

" Booker T . " She told him .

" I don ' t know if I can measure up to Booker , but you are going to have to tell me over a cold beer why you chose Booker T ? Come on we better get there before closing time . " Chris said to her .

" Who is the designated driver ? " Jessie asked him .

" Hmm , how about a cab driver ? " He asked .

" Or we could drop my car off and walk . " She said .

" Sounds good , you are a smart lady . " Chris told me .

" You better believe it Kitty . " Jessie said . He stopped and looked at her .

" What ? " She asked .

" You called me kitty . " Chris said .

" Yeah , I know why ? You don ' t like being called kitty ? " Jessie asked .

" No , I don ' t . " He answered .

" Sorry , but what should I call you ? Chris , Wildcat , or would Cat work ? " Jessie asked him again .

" All three will work . Just not kitty or pussycat . " Chris said .

" Fair enough . I don ' t really like being called Jessica . " She smiled .

" What should I call you then ? " He asked .

" Jessie or Jess will work . I really don ' t have a name yet in wrestling . " She said .

" Okay , so , are we going to the bar or not ? " He asked .

" Let me get my stuff out of my locker and then go see the manager . " Jessie said walking back to the locker room .

Once we were done at the arena , we took my car to the hotel and surprisingly Chris was at the same hotel .

" Hmm , who would ' ve thought we were at the same hotel . I think there is some sort of conspiracy going on . " Jessie said .

" I just like good hotels , that have bed and breakfast . " Chris said .

" Well I like good , cheap hotels , with bed and breakfast . I don ' t want anything to fancy . Simplistic is my way of life and it will stay that way . Outside of traveling with wrestling my life isn ' t to drastic . " Jessie said as they made it to the bar Chris opened the door for her .

" Ladies first . " Chris smiled .

" You are going to be a gentlemen ? " Jessie asked .

" Always . " Chris answered .

" You know since I won the match , this means you buy the first round . Thats how it works where I am from . " She smirked at him .

" Really , where would that be ? " Chris asked .

" Houston , Texas . " Jessie answered .

They got to the bar , order beer for the both of them , and found a table away from everyone so they could chat .

" Houston , Texas ? I thought you said you lived simple ? Living in a big city isn ' t exactly simple now is it ? " Chris asked .

" I do live simple . Just because Houston isn ' t the smallest town to live in doesn ' t mean anything . I lived in a two bedroom house , plus kitchen , two bathrooms , and living room . My family is not that wealthy , infact my step - dad had to work double jobs just to afford the house and to feed us and my mom ' s school teacher salary isn ' t something to be amazed at either . Everything I have I busted my ass for and didn ' t come to me very easily , that includes my wrestling career and my families safety . " Jessie defended herself .

" Hey , no need in getting defensive , I was just asking . So , family safety ? What did you mean by that ? And you said you lived with your step - dad ? Where is your real dad at ? " Chris was curious and wanted to get to know this beautiful lady . She was very captivating to him and for some reason he couldn ' t take his eyes off of her .

" Uhm , I think that story is for another time . We just met and only five people know the whole story ; me , mom , my step - dad , Booker T , and Sharmell . So , wait until you have gotten to know me a little better . " Jessie shivered at the story .

" Its that bad huh ? " He asked .

" Yes , it is . " She answered .

" Fine is there anything else I need to know about you ? " He asked .

" Yes , next time you want to talk to me . Come and ask , I didn ' t like the whole staring thing back at the arena . " Jessie told him .

" Why not ? " Chris was watching her .

" Because I have bad anxiety attacks . If I feel like I am in danger or being hurt to much I start having bad reactions to it . Lets just say it came from a bad situation , my mom calls it a blessing , but for me its a curse . If I am in too much pain or danger my anxieties could cause my body to shut down into an overload mode kind of like a machine would . I would freeze up and wouldn ' t be able to function much , it would be a lot like me trapping my ownself into my own cocoon to protect myself . " She said honestly .

" I see . So , do I need to watch out for these anxiety attacks or what ? " He asked curious .

" I can handle them . " Jessie answered as she finished her first beer .

" I ' m impressed . " He said .

" By what ? " She asked confused .

" You drinking beer . " Chris smiled . When he smiled she felt the room light up .

" Why does it impress you ? I like beer , I can drink other drinks , but I prefer harder stuff . " Jessie said .

" So , I got a redneck rebel on my hands . " Chris teased .

" Oh , so , now you want to tease me ? " Jessie asked as the bartender came around so she could order another beer .

" Hmm , you know , I knew somebody else who drank quite a bit of beer , but he was a wildass Cowboy so I knew kind of what to expect . But , you would definitely give him a run for his money , sugar . " Chris said .

" Who are we talking about ? " Jessie asked .

" Tennessee Cowboy , James Storm . " He told her .

" Ah , another wrestler from TNA . You know I am still kind of new to the wrestling world , so , I am not as familiar with the different companies as most of the other wrestlers . But , one thing I do appreciate and love is hearing old wrestling stories from some of the older guys and the legends of the business . I often asked Booker about some of his stories from when he was on the road and with WWE , WCW , and his short stint in TNA . So , you are going to have to bare with me when I don ' t know what you are talking about or who you are talking about . " Jessie informed Chris .

" Thats fine . So , who is your favorite wrestler ? " Chris asked .

" Sting would have to be my favorite of all time . I also like Hulk Hogan , Flair , Harlem Heat , Steve Austin , Lita , I am also a big fan of the American Dream , the Four Horsemen , and Macho Man Randy Savage . " She answered with a smile .

" Harlem Heat would be Booker T and Stevie Ray . " Chris said .

" Yep , I have to stay true to my Texas wrestling brothers . " Jessie smiled again .

" Fair enough . " He said .

" So , you asked me where I was from what about you , Cat ? " Jessie asked him .

" Fort Wright , Kentucky . " He answered .

" Explains the accent without the twang . " Jessie said .

" You think I have an accent . You have an accent . " He said .

" Yeah , I know . I also have a twang . All southerners have an accent Chris , some are just missing the twang that comes from the deep , deep south or from growing up in the sticks . " She informed him .

" Sure , what ever you say . " Chris agreed .

" Glad you agree . " She said .

" Oh , I hear some sarcasm in your voice . " He chuckled .

" Yep , I love sarcasm . It makes the world go round . " Jessie smirked .

" I thought I was the only one who thought that way . " Chris smiled again . Everytime he smiled it made her body go haywire .

" So , you use sarcasm too . This is going to be interesting . " Jessie said . She was now staring into his eyes they were captivating and strong . There was quite a steadiness to them , but also a gentle , soft , feature as well .

" What ? " He asked . She could tell he could see her watching his eyes .

" Nothing , just trying to figure you out . " Jessie said honestly .

" What are you try to figure out ? " She saw the curiousity in Chris ' s face .

" Whether I can trust you or not . I have trust issue on top of my anxiety attacks . I am also a worrier by nature and I am highly sensitive to people and other things around me . My sixth sense also keeps me very alert when I need to be . " Jessie answered his curiousity .

" I won ' t hurt you . " Chris said .

" Right . " She said and looked down at her phone .

" What expecting a phone call ? " He asked .

" No , just seeing what time it was . Its getting late and its been a long day . So , why don ' t we call it and get out of here ? " Jessie asked him .

" Okay , " Chris agreed . We finished our drinks , paid , and left the bar .

The walk back to the hotel was silent as he walked her to her door surprisingly .

" Hey , thank you for tonight . " Jessie smiled at him being polite .

" No problem . Its good to get out and celebrate a well earned victory . " Chris smiled back .

" I ' ll remember that . So , is this goodbye or will we see each other again ? " Jessie asked him .

" I don ' t think this is goodbye . In the wrestling world we often cross paths again when we least expect it . That is the beauty of the business we are in , but I don ' t know about you seeing me tomorrow . I have a long drive back to Fort Wright . I only had a break for two days . " He said .

" Yeah , I guess from Colorado it is a long drive . Well good night . " Jessie said sliding the key card in the lock and letting herself into her room for the night .

" Good night , Jessie . " Chris said her name after the door was closed .

" Wow , that was eventful . Chris Harris you are not like any other guy I have met or dated before . You have a smile that can light up the room and eyes that are so soft , but steady . I wonder what makes a guy like that ? What would make you so confident in your own shoes ? " Jessie asked herself .

Jessie got ready for bed and went to sleep after turning out the lights . That night she dreamed about him , it had been along time since she dreamed like this . The last time was when her dad was still around , but those were nightmares not dreams .
