A/N/DISCLAIMER: Another chapter for you! This one is kind of short so sorry about that. Expect frequent updates from this story at the moment as I have alot of stuff written for it already. As always I own nothing apart from Jersey. Please read and review!

I also just wanted to say that I wrote this before Eddie's untimely death but decided to keep his involvement in the story as I enjoy writing what I believe he was like and what a wonderful friend he must have been. R.I.P Eddie!

Oh, and if you're interested I've just reposted chapter one of "Trials of Love" all rewritten and such. I've also added a chapter to Wedding Planner II.

SMACKDOWN TAPING in HOUSTON, TX : August 3, 2004.

Pushing her Gucci frames to the top of her head, Jersey took in a deep breath. Here she was in Houston, precisely 197 miles from San Antonio where hours before she had been enjoying RAW -- And enjoying Randy.

Her call last night had been to Eddie Guerrero: A key player on WWE's Smackdown show and one of her closest friends. She had known Eddie and his family for a long time and knew that if she ever had a problem or needed them than she could always depend on them to be there for her.

Case in point; she had a problem. She needed to get away from Randy.

Eddie was completely unaware of her relationship with Randy and it was something that she planned on keeping a secret. She knew that if he had any idea of what they had been doing than his Latin temper would most definitely be let off of its leash and pointed in the Legend Killers direction. Instead, she had convinced Eddie that she wanted to travel with him for visiting purposes and had took the three hour journey to meet him there in Houston, home of tonights Smackdown taping.

After checking with security, Jersey took some directions off of the guards and made her way towards the mens locker room, stopping once she finally reached it. Without thinking of knocking, she pushed open the door and walked inside, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets when she got a look at what was infront of her.

John Cena had just walked out of the shower room and was in the process of wrapping a towel around his waist, not quick enough for Jersey's wandering eyes. "Impressive," She grinned.

John looked up to meet the blue eyes of a beautiful blonde haired woman. He recognized her straight away from her television show and noted how much hotter she looked in real life. "Thanks," He smirked, maintaining his composure despite the pool of drool that was beginning to form at his feet. "And may I ask what Jersey Stratagias is doing in the men's locker room ogling my goodies?"

"Actually-" She trailed off, not knowing his name.

"John," He finished for her, smiling.

"Actually John," She repeated, resting a hand on her hip. "I'm looking for Eddie Guerrero, have you seen him?"

If by magic, the locker room door swung open and the man himself of question walked in. Upon seeing Jersey his face lit up, a wide smile spreading across his face as he caught the petite girl in his arms for a hug, lifting her off of her feet.

"You made it," He said, placing her back down and stepping back to take a good long look at her. "And you brought some new features." He finished, raising a brow.

Jersey blushed as he pointed to her chest. She'd recently had her breasts enhanced from a B to a sensible C cup. She'd always been very self conscious of her chest, so once she was able to afford it she took the plunge and got the surgery that she had so desperately wanted. "Um, yeah... But it's been so long, Eduardo! I'd even started to forget what your smile looked like..."

"All the brighter now you're here, Mami. It's going to be great having you on the road with us."

Johns mouth dropped open. She was going to be traveling with them? What was this? Christmas? He couldn't wait to tell Randy about this one. He was going to be so jealous.

"Yeah, I'm so excited." She smiled. "But are you sure I wont get in the way?"

"Of course not," He insisted, putting an arm around her. He took the opportunity to look at John who seemed to be in a world of his own. "I take if you've met John?" He said, whispering in her ear. "Be careful around him, okay? He has a reputation with the women. He's also good friends with Randy Orton. I'm sure you've heard all about him."

She swallowed hard, managing to shrug. "Um. I've passed him in the halls once or twice."

He nodded his head. "Well I'm glad you've stayed away from him. He's even worse."

She felt a pang of guilt hit her. She'd never lied to Eddie before, but deep down she knew that keeping her fling with Randy from him would be a good thing. He would be absolutely devastated if he knew about them. She was actually surprised that he had not found out already. She knew Randy had blabbed to a few people, some of which didn't know how to keep their mouths shut.

She looked back over at John who still hadn't said a word and proceeded to wave a hand infront of his face. He jumped, returning from whatever planet he had been visiting which made Eddie chuckle. He knew just what he was thinking; if he was ten years younger and didn't think of Jersey like she was his daughter than he would probably think it to.

"So," Eddie spoke up. "How long will you be traveling with us for, Mami?"

Jersey shrugged. She hadn't really thought about it. "I'm not that sure, Eduardo. We're not going to be filming again for awhile, so I guess I'll see what happens. I just wanted to take some time to chill out and be with those people that matter the most, you know?"

Eddie cocked a brow. He wasn't the slightest bit convinced by that. Jersey knew the business well enough to know that it was far from a place where you could "chill out". Infact, if anything time on the road would put her under even more stress than she felt already. "Than why not travel with RAW? Don't get me wrong, Princess. I'm overjoyed to see you, but you know more people, not to mention that your sister is there too. Why would you temporarily forget all of that and come here?"

She frowned. He knew her too well. "Maybe I wanted a change?"

"Maybe there's something you're not telling me?" Eddie retorted.

"Maybe I don't want to tell you?"

"Maybe you should consider telling me before I drag it out of you?"

"Maybe we should all stop maybe'ing?" John added, receiving death stares from both Eddie & Jersey.

"If you don't want to tell me, than thats fine." Eddie shrugged, giving in. "I'll go talk to the boss about you traveling with us. I'm sure he wont mind. You can room with me too. Maybe than I'll have a better chance of finding out just whats up with you, huh?"

"I doubt it," She mumbled.

She groaned in frustration as Eddie reached forward and messed up her hair. "I'll catch you later, kiddo." Eddie chuckled, kissing her forehead before turning his attention to John. "And you," He said, his tone changing. "Make sure you look after her, understand me Cena? And keep those hands to yourself. If not you'll have me to deal with."

He nodded. Satisfied with his warning, Eddie took off, leaving the two of them in an awkward silence. John scratched the back of his head while Jersey reached into her purse and pulled out her compact, applying some more gloss to her lips. "So," She finally said, closing the compact. "Are you a big superstar on this show, or what?"

Though Eddie's warning was still fresh in his mind, John knew he had to take his chance. With a line like that it would have been criminal for him not to hit on her. "You bet baby," He smirked, stepping closer. "I'm the biggest superstar you will ever meet."

A smile played on her lips. She knew where this was going. "Is that so?" She replied, sexual innuendo slurring off of every word that she spoke. "And are you flexible? Because wrestlers have to be flexible, right?"

He licked his lips. "You wanna find out?"

Taking a step forward, Jersey made sure the smell of her perfume was available to his senses. "Do you really think you could keep up with me John?" She said in an audible whisper.

"Oh baby, I'm positive. How about we-"

He was interrupted by "Goodies" which blasted out from her cell phone. Making distance between the two of them, Jersey reached for her purse and took out her T-Mobile sidekick which John noticed was decorated in pink diamonds, along with some white ones that sketched out a perfectly aligned Canadian flag in the centre. Checking the caller ID, Jersey felt the need to roll her eyes.

It was Randy.

She glanced at John who had his hands slung in his pockets and was gazing around the room and turned away from him. "Can I help you?" She answered in an annoyed tone.

"Jersey?" Came Randy's muffled voice. "Where the fuck are you? I woke up and you were gone. We were meant to go get breakfast this morning, remember?" He didn't give her a chance to answer. "Look, forget all that. How quickly can you get here? Orton juniors getting lonely, Jers. I think he needs some attention."

She rolled her eyes. "How about a week from never? It's over, okay? We're through. Whatever we were, whatever you wanted us to be, it's not happening. I don't ever want to hear from you again! I'm officially out of your life. Not that it should matter though, right? I was never a part of it to begin with. Cya."

She hung up quickly, tossing the sidekick back into her purse. That was a huge step for her and she could feel herself on the brink of tears. John came up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder, sending shivers down her spine. "Ex boyfriend?"

She looked up at him. "Something like that."
