Chapter Two

Warning: Language, sexual references, drugged-ness.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Cassie, the product of my imagination. As much as I'd love the rights to my three boys, I sadly don't have them.

After watching the beatdown of The Shield at the hands of The Authority, Cassie was worried. She knew just how much some of the bumps wrestlers took could hurt. And the bumps that Joe, Colby and Jon just took looked like they hurt.

It had been about a month since the Cassie started visiting Raw, and she began hanging out with Colby more. By association, that also meant that she hung out with Jon and Joe more.

She'd found out a lot about the three men.

First, Joe was a huge teddy bear. He was sweet, very smart, and soft spoken despite his deep voice. He was engaged to a pretty, curly haired young blonde named Adeline. He pretty much worshipped the ground she walked on.

Jon, on the other hand, was a ladies man, down to the letter. He had girls falling all over him 24/7, and loved it. However, she had seen a slow decline in that part of him. Instead, she watched as he began doting on her more and more. It was like she was a challenge that he desperately wanted to win over.

So, it was safe to say that she had a new group of friends she was happy to hang out with.

When Joe and Colby stumbled backstage, holding Jon up, his arms over their shoulders, his head was hanging low, lips parted as his eyes lolled around, dazed and glazed over.

Cassie made her way over, her blue eyes wide as they darted between Colby and Joe. "What happened?"

"Were you watching?" Colby asked gruffly, holding the side of his neck. "We don't even know what the hell happened. When we went to get out, he didn't even know what the fuck was going on."

Cassie frowned. She gently cupped Jon's chin, tilting his head up. His glazed eyes found her's. "Jon, do you know who I am?"

"Hey, doll face." His gruff voice said after a moment or two, a grin quirking up his lips. That had been his nickname for the little brunette as of late.

Cassie looked up at the other two men. "I think he has a concussion."

After being in the trainers for an hour while the three men were taken care of, Jon was able to walk on his own. He head doctor had given him a small dose of painkillers, because along with his concussion, he had several bruises and a large gas on his back from the fourteen men, and then the other three.

Jon was funny when he was drugged up.

Bracing himself against a wall, he winked over at Cassie. "Hey there, denim shorts." That earned a chuckle. "Come here often?"

"I work here, Jonathon." She walked over to him and took his arm, slinging it over her shoulders.

"Well hello there." He looked down at her and waggled his eyebrows, making Cassie laugh.

"Lean on me."

That statement started Jon singing a rousing rendition of the song as she led him down the hall, flanked by Joe and Colby. Cassie, Joe and Colby were all laughing as Jon looked down at Cassie and gave her a goofy grin.

"Like that, huh?" He asked, as they approached the car. When she let him go to open the door, he put his hands on his hips, swinging them back and forth. "You should see my naked performance." He said, winking at her again.

"I'm sure it's beautiful." She snickered. "Get in the car, Jonathon."

And he did, only with the coaxing that she sit next to him. He got inside of Colby's rental and scooched over to the left side, waiting for her to get in. Cassie tossed her duffle in the back before she got in beside him.

While Joe, Colby and Cassie discussed where the storyline would go from here, Jon had slowly started inching toward Cassie. She didn't notice, focused on listening and looking out the window at the night life. However, she felt him lay his head on her shoulder, and watched his eyes close. She saw a soft smile on his usually joking, cocky face, and couldn't help but smile.

He looked like a little kid.

She gently reached over and shook his shoulder. "Jon." She said softly. "Wake up." Another small shake and Jon's eyes fluttered open. She nodded to the hotel. She got out of the car and Jon followed, fumbling a bit. They all made their way into the hotel and upstairs, Jon relatively quiet. When they got to their floor, Joe branched off and went to his hotel room with Adeline, a makeup artist for the Superstars and Divas. Cassie went to hand off Jon to Colby, but he grabbed her hand, his eyes sad. He tugged her hand.

"Don't leave." He said, quietly. This was a stark contrast to his personality, usually cocky, brash with his emotions strictly controlled. There was emotion in his clear blue eyes, and she could tell that something in him really, really didn't want her to leave.
With a sigh, the usually tough-as-nails girl slowly nodded. "Alright. I'll stay."

The three made their way into the room. Colby gave Cassie a tight hug and kissed her forehead, giving Jon a fist bump as he headed to bed. Cassie sat Jon down on the couch, before she went and grabbed a beer from the fridge. She opened it up and took a long swig, before she set it back down. She walked back over to the couch and took a seat next to Jon.

He turned and looked at her, brows furrowing and squinting. Then, his face broke out into a large grin. He cupped her cheek and leaned close, making Cassie's eyes go wide. He ran his thumb along her cheek bone.

"You know, doll face," He said, quietly. "I'm glad you stayed with me." He let her face go and leaned over, wrapping his arms around her in a big hug. She laughed good naturedly and returned it tightly, putting her face in his neck. She breathed him in for a second and felt some feelings bubbling up that she couldn't ignore.

Did she…was she starting to…like Jon?
