The Darker side of the ring.

Chapter 1- A night to remember… or forget

John decided to surprise Jessica by taking her to clubbing, they would pop in and out of a limo and dance for a while at the establishment before moving on to another club. Jessica couldn't believe how much fun she was having as John smiled to his beaming date. She had never had such an adventure before and knew tonight would be one to remember.

John felt it couldn't go any better, they will hit up one more club before calling it a night, they were going until three in the morning now, and deep down he knew Kane would want his daughter back soon. Yet neither knew they were being followed…

They stopped at the final club. One John Morrison went to all the time. He got to bypass security and the bouncer who knew him back in the day. He introduced his lady for the night and they welcomed Jessica in the door with a smile. The place was packed and full of energy. The lights and sounds were something Jessica fell in love with and found herself caught up in the rhythm of the music. She wondered out onto the dance floor and found people were gathering around her as she swayed to the music. Into the Night was played, her body appeared to have a mind of it's own. John fell in love with her as she sparkled in the light and the fire in her eyes burned into his soul. He found himself drifting onto the floor and danced along with her, drawing in the crowd with their movements and how the music moved them.

The song ended as Morrison and Jessica found that they were given a great ovation. Jessica went to the bar and asked for a drink, she was given a glass of Pepsi. A gift from an admirer according to the bar tender, she was about to take a drink until John took it from her hand. "Did you order it?" he asked of her.

"No, it was…" before she could answer, Morrison sent the drink back. "Water, sealed!" he ordered the bartender.

"What the hell John, it's just a drink of pop!" she snapped.

"Please, trust me on this!" he begged of her. Jessica was upset since she didn't want to offend the person who sent her the drink. But John knew of people out in the clubs who are looking to satisfy something more than a dancing urge within themselves.

Jessica went with his suggestion though. She got her water and sipped on it throughout the night. When it was getting late John took her home, well, back to the hotel.

"I don't understand John, why did you take way the drink earlier?" she asked.

"I know this is going to sound weird, but there are reports in the paper that some people will send a nice girl like yourself a drink. Yet they will always slip you something else." He went on and warned her about the drugs that could leave her paralyzed for a while, in the mean time the drugger takes full advantage. "I've seen and heard it happen to nice girls. I promised your dad to watch out over you" he explained.

Jessica nodded to him and understood why he was so protective. He walked her back into the hotel and up to the room. They stood before one another, neither knowing if they should make the first move or not. At the same time both leaned into one another, they ended up head butting each other right on the foreheads rather than landing the kiss goodnight. But the incident left them laughing, "I guess we got to try that again another time?" she asked.

John was thrilled to hear she wanted to go out on a second date and agreed to the idea. They parted ways as Jessica went into her room, she felt such a warmth spread through her as she thought of John. She went to bed dreaming pleasant dream.

Elsewhere.

Matt Hardy stormed into the hotel disappointed. It almost worked. If it wasn't for Morrison he would have earned her trust by now. By now he would have Jessica in his room on his bed. By now, he would have had his revenge. Matt had followed them all night, wanting to even the score between him and Kane.

He just had to bide his time, just a little while longer until her guard is down and Kane let's his daughter have more freedom in the locker room. "Just wait for it Matt, your moment will come" he kept saying to himself. A ill smile came over him as he thought longer and longer about his revenge.
