All of Me

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I only own Jess. And I really own the story, too. Other than that, I got nothing.

"So, exactly what is this whole plan with the Nexus?" Jess asked the three members of The Shield with whom she was sharing a Ford Explorer with, as they travelled to the location of their next show. Jon was driving. Jess was in the passenger's seat. Joe and Colby were sitting in the back of the SUV.

"Well, Wade Barrett is going to reform the Nexus, as a way of trying to sticking it to us for being a better faction than they were. And they'll come after us, and we're going to feud," Jon responded with a shrug, nonchalantly.

"But aren't there a bunch of them?" she asked.

"Well, it isn't going to be all of them. Ryan is sticking with the Ryback character. Daniel Bryan is way too big to get back into that. Husky Harris is Bray Wyatt now. It's just gonna be Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Darren Young, and David Otunga," Joe replied.

"Okay. So how's that going to work with three guys and a chick?" Jess questioned.

"It'll be fine. Besides, you'll be around, but no one is going to hit you or anything like that. It'll be alright," Joe assured her.

"I met Stu earlier today. He seems very nice," she told them.

"Stu Bennett? He's awesome. Really nice guy," Jon said.

"Yeah. All of the Nexus guys are cool," Colby chimed in.

Jess nodded. "A lot of people seem really cool."

"Yeah. There's a lot of great people in the WWE," Joe told her. "It makes it a lot easier being on the road all of the time. At least we get to hang around people that, for the most part, aren't complete douchebags."

"I love you, guys. You're great to work with and so much fun to hang out with. Not to mention, I have a huge crush on one of the wrestlers. That Dean Ambrose guy is just so hot and out of his mind. I mean, I couldn't possibly get any luckier than to work with him. He's a hot nut job," she said, winking at her boyfriend.

Jon grinned and pulled her hand into his, interlocking their fingers, affectionately. "You're the best, baby."

"I gotta say, I don't know if I've ever seen a couple more perfect for each other," Colby said, as he watched the two.

"Aw thanks," Jess said, smiling.

"You two have been together for a long time, right?" Joe asked.

"Four years," Jon replied with a nod.

"Shit. Four years?! When are you two getting married?" Colby questioned.

Jon and Jess looked at each other and shrugged. "I dunno. I mean, I want to at some point in the future, but right now, I'd just rather Jon focus on his career. And, you know, I'm curious to see where mine goes. We're both still young, so I don't see any point in rushing into something like that," she explained.

"Wow. Most females are desperate to get that ring," Joe commented.

"Jess isn't most women," Jon pointed out.

"Yeah. I'm happy with Jon. I love our relationship. And for now, I don't see any need for it to change. I can wait. It doesn't bother me at all."

"Wow. Bro, hold onto her. You found yourself a keeper," Joe told Jon.

Jon laughed. "Man, you don't have to tell me. I've got the greatest girlfriend ever. I'm never letting her go. I want her all to myself."

Jess smiled. "Good because I'm not going anywhere."

The next day, everyone was at the arena preparing for that evening's taping of Smackdown. Jess was sitting on a large crate, reading Hunter S. Thompson's The Rum Diary. Joe, Colby, and Jon were all working out their spots for the taping.

"Hey Jess. How are you doing?" the familiar voice of Stu Bennett filled her ears.

"Hi Stu. I'm doing well. How are you?" she asked, looking up at him.

"I'm good. What are you reading?" he questioned, leaning on the crate upon which she was sitting.

"Oh. One of my favorites. Maybe you've heard of it…they made it into a movie. It's called The Rum Diaries by Hunter S. Thompson. He also wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That's the one most people know," she explained, as the look on his face was one of confusion.

"I know Hunter S. Thompson. He's actually my favorite writer," Stu told her, shocked that the woman who had been stuck in his head since their meeting, the previous day, was a fan of his favorite author.

"Oh really?" she responded, a smile forming on her lips.

"Yeah. That's so funny," he commented.

"Oh? Is it? He is pretty popular, ya know?" she quipped, teasingly.

"It is. I had no idea that you were a fan of my favorite author. It's nice to have something in common with such a beautiful lady," he complimented her.

Jess blushed a bit, folding the edge of her page down and shutting the book. "Thank you, Stu."

He smiled. "What else are you into?" he questioned.

"Well, I read a lot. I listen to a lot of music…watch a lot of movies."

"Oh? What kind of music are you into?"

"Um…I really prefer rock. The good stuff, though. I like some punk rock like Social Distortion. I like some alternative like The Smiths. And some of the just plain old bad ass rock like Guns N Roses," she explained.

"Are you bloody kidding me? You've got to be joking."

"I'm not sure if you're making fun of me or what. Jon teases me for a lot of what I listen to. But it doesn't bother me. I'm dedicated. I have a tattoo in honor of Guns N Roses."

"Seriously? Where?" Stu questioned, his interest in her multiplying quickly.

Jess hopped up off of the crate and turned around. She pulled the back of her shirt up and pulled her pants down a bit, revealing the two guns intertwined with red roses.

"Holy hell. That's really nice," he complimented. She turned around to face him.

"Thanks. I take it you're a fan."

"Yeah. I love Guns N Roses and The Smiths…I'm just impressed that we seem to have a lot of things in common. That's really cool," he told her.

"Yeah. Definitely," she agreed.

"Oh! By the way, you were great last night. You looked great out there. I mean…you always look great but last night…two thumbs up."

"Thank you," she responded, the heat flooding her cheeks, as her eyes looked down at the floor. The butterflies he was giving her were out of control.

"I'm really looking forward to the whole Nexus and The Shield storyline. We can definitely hang out more."

"Yeah. It'll be a lot of fun."

"Hey babe. I was looking all over the place for you," a female voice spoke, as seconds later, the Diva known as Alicia Fox appeared next to Stu.

"Hey Tor," he greeted, as she wrapped her arms around his torso, as she stood at his side. "This is Jess. She's dating Jon Good."

"Oh! You're Dean Ambrose's famous girlfriend! It's so great to meet you! She stuck out her hand. "I'm Victoria. You can call me Tori, though."

Jess shook her hand. "It's really great to meet you, too."

"So, Stu told me that his reunited Nexus is going to be feuding with The Shield. That's pretty awesome."

"Yeah. I'm definitely excited about it. Should be a lot of fun," Jess agreed with the woman she was feeling strangely jealous of.

"I heard you can wrestle, too. Why haven't you gotten any Diva matches set up?" Tori questioned.

"I dunno. I'm not really doing the Diva thing yet, I guess. Probably because I'm still really new here. Besides, I don't want to take the spotlight away from Jon. He's been working so hard for so long to get here," she explained.

"Aw. Well, I hope you eventually come onboard with us. It'd be great."

Jess gave her a smile. "Yeah. I'd like that."

"Alright. Well, we've got some business to attend to. I'll see you around, Jess," Stu said, giving her a wink that went unnoticed by his girlfriend.

"See you. Again, it was nice meeting you, Tori."

"You, too."

The women exchanged smiles, as Stu and Tori walked away. Jess watched them for a few moments before sitting back down and re-opening her book, though her thoughts were completed distracted by Stu. And it was driving her crazy.

"Wow. So that's the famous Jess, huh?" Tori spoke, as she and Stu made their way down to catering.

"Yup. I met her yesterday. She's really very sweet," he replied.

"Yeah. I feel like I know her already…after hearing Jon go on and on about her for all of this time."

Stu nodded. "She's a really cool chick, if you ask me."

"Seem so. We'll probably be seeing more of her once the storyline gets underway, too."

"Probably."

"Maybe we could double date or something one of these days," Tori suggested.

"Yeah. That'd be a great idea," he agreed. "You should talk to her about setting that up the next time you see her."

Tori smiled. "I will. It'd be so much fun!"

Stu gave her a smile. Truth be told, he would use absolutely any excuse to be near his co-worker's girlfriend. He hadn't been able to get Jess off of his brain for more than a rare fleeting moment.

Stu couldn't get that face out of his head since he first saw it the day before. He was already complete smitten with her. Those brown eyes staring in to his made his knees go weak. The way she smiled, the sound of her voice, her scent…everything just drove him completely crazy.

He knew this wasn't good. He had been with Tori for over 2 ½ years. Stu truly loved her. But there was something about Jess that made him absolutely crazy. He couldn't help it. She turned him into complete Jell-O whenever she was around. He wasn't sure what he wanted from her…other than to spend as much time with her as he possibly could.
