Alexis Nichole Jarrett had never been as nervous as she was at that very moment. In just minutes she would be facing Awesome Kong for the TNA Knockouts Title. Her father and fellow Planet Jarrett members assured her that everything would work in her favor. Ever since she had turned heel she never had to worry about anything. She always had the boys to back her up, but this time it would be in a steel cage. Her first ever steel cage pay-per-view. Jim Cornett felt this would be the only way to keep Planet Jarrett from getting involved.
"We all know how good you are, you just have to show Jim and the rest of the world", said Eric Young.
"Are you trying to say my baby girl isnt good Showtime", cut in Jeff.
"No, no sir I was just saying it seems that Jim doesnt think that she is without us.. I kind of overheard him talking to Matt Morgan about it"
"AND YOU DIDNT TELL US?!" screamed an infuriated father.
"I'm sorry sir it just kind of slipped my mind until now"
"Don't let it happen again. James you take Alexis and start getting warmed up"
"My pleasure" smirked a cocky cowboy.
Alexis rolled her eyes and exited the lockerroom with James Storm right behind her. She knew he had a thing for her and as much as she wanted to be with him she had to play it off like she didnt. She knew it was in both of their best interests. There would be publicity and lies that would break them up and she couldn't deal with that. Not after what had just happened with Frankie Kazarian. She thought he was a good guy til a reporter cornered her and showed her the pictures of him and Traci Brooks.
"I know a good way to get you all warmed up" James chuckled after taking a drink of his beer.
"Look if it has to do with sleeping with you, Id rather remain cold" spat out a cocky Alexis.
James grabbed her arm and spun her around "Damnit Lexi why dont you just tell me why you wont give me the time of day"
"Because I cant James. You and I both know it wouldnt work.", she replied.
"But it will, Ive liked you since we were kids. It worked before why can't it now? Is it because of that asshole Kaz?"
She couldn't answer she felt a knot wadding in her throat and her eyes began to sting with tears. She tried to remain strong but anytime she heard his name it was like having her heart ripped out over and over again. James could sense she was hurt and if it had been any other girl he would have used this vulnerability to score but he couldnt with Lexi. He cared for her to much, hell he was actually beginning to think that he loved her. No matter how far she pushed him away he would always be there no matter what.
