Mickie stared at the mirror fixing her hair, making sure that she was completely perfect for going out with Chris. She wanted him to be blown away. She was so happy when he had first asked her out, even though it probably wasn't a couple date. He probably thought that it was just something between friends. Well tonight she wanted him to think of her as more than a friend. She wore a short black tee showing off she tanned slim body with Levi jeans. She wore her hair the same style from Backlash. She finished her makeup as Maria came into the locker room.

"Well Miss. James don't you look all dolled up." Maria said noticing Mickie's attire.

"Well, I just wanted to impress Chris. He asked me out tonight."

"What?! Like a date?"

"No he asked me to fly to Japan with him. Yes a date!"

Maria hugged her friend. "This is great! I knew you two were going to become a couple."

"But, there's just something I'm unsure of."

"What is it?"

Mickie shrugged. "It's just…it feels like he just wants to like, hang out. Not so much go on a date, but just hang out. Am I overreacting?"

"Well, what did he say when he asked you?"

Mickie tried to remember what he said. "Um, I don't remember exactly, but I think he said something about going out and grabbing something to eat and," Mickie sighed as she remembered what he said next. "He said he wanted to get to know me better. This isn't a date. He just wants to hang out, probably for that stupid storyline." She truly wanted to date him deep inside.

"That doesn't necessarily mean that he wants to go out as friends. You never know."

"Please Maria. Has anyone asked you to go on a date to 'Get to know you better'?"

Maria didn't know how to reply.

"But whatever. It still shouldn't ruin my night."

"Yeah. You'll have a great time with him. And you looking like that will definitely make him glad he's out with you."

"Thanks Ria." The two brunettes left the divas locker room, and unfortunately ran into WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix. Both smiles on Mickie and Maria's faces quickly vanished as they stood a couple steps away from the Glamazon.

"Good evening Beth. Looking wonderfully shrill as always." Maria said to the blonde.

The insult failed to faze her as she turned her attention to Mickie. "Going out somewhere?"

"Yeah as a matter of fact I am."

"Good for you. I thought the day would never come when a guy would sink so low to date you."

Mickie refused to have Beth ruin her day.

"Beth, you know I understand you're jealous that the only guy you could get is Santino, but after I get done with my date with the World Champion Chris Jericho, I'll help you out. I'll give you a cage to hold that caterpillar above Santino's eyes."

Beth just walked away with a humiliated look on her face. Mickie and Maria just laughed and continued on.

They walked a bit further until they ran into Chris. He wore a white buttoned down shirt with the first three buttons undone and black dress pants. Mickie thought he looked amazing.

As he looked up and saw her, he stood dumbfounded. He thought he had never looked at someone so beautiful. He had never given this look to his ex-wife. He loved the work of art in front of him known as Mickie James.

"Wow, you look…wow." Chris said admiring the beauty in front of him.

"Told you." Maria whispered to Mickie as she left the two alone.

Mickie giggled. "Well thank you. You look 'wow' yourself."

"How bout we head out?"

"Sure." Chris held out his arm and Mickie took it. The two walked out of the arena and headed off to the many WWE superstars rental cars.

Chris and Mickie had an extraordinary evening. The two had so much in common, and they loved talking about their careers, relationships and storylines. Chris loved looking at the brunette across from him. She looked so beautiful, and he could look at her forever. As he gazed at her, she blushed. "What are you staring at?"

"What if I said you?"

"I think that would be pretty obvious."

He laughed. He has such a great smile. She thought.

"Now I think you're the one staring at me."

"Ok before we break out into a full out staring contest, there's just something I have to ask."

"Sure. Go ahead."

Mickie inhaled deeply. She looked down at the floor when she spoke. "What did you feel when you found out you were working with me?" She looked back at him after she spoke. She felt embarrassingly insecure. She just hoped that he would have said that he was happy that it was her.

"Actually, I was pretty interested."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, at first I was feeling iffy because of my whole issue with my wife."

"Ok."

"But, when I found out it was you, I thought how could I go wrong with such a beautiful diva? And I was pretty happy because you're one of those divas who actually is a great wrestler. No offense, but some of 'em who know like three moves…"

"Yeah I know who you're talking about."

"So I was pretty glad that I was paired with you Miss. James."

Mickie was glad of what Chris had said about her.

"Thanks Chris."

"Well, if I may ask, what did you feel when you found out about the storyline?"

"Well as a matter of fact I had no problem with it at all."

"And why is that?"

"Because you're pretty darn cute Chris."

He laughed. Yay, I get to see that smile. She thought to herself.

Their waitress came up to the table and asked if either of them wanted anything more.

"You want anything?" Chris asked Mickie. She shook her head no and he asked for the check.

"Oh, there's one more thing I have to ask you. What went on between you and Trish? Because when she was in the WWE she had a lot to say about you."

Chris rolled his eyes. "Aw great this again. I really don't want to tell this story."

Mickie pushed and pushed his buttons about it, until the check came to his rescue.

"Let me get this." Mickie leaned for the check.

"Not a chance. You gave me the honor of coming out with me, the least I could do was pay for it."

Mickie would usually put up a fight for paying the check, but his comment was enough to let him pay.

--

Back at their hotel Mickie and Chris reached their floor. They both dreaded this moment ending, but they both knew the date had to end. They walked to Mickie's door and Chris reluctantly started the goodbye.

"I had a great time with you Mickie."

"Me too. You were such a great guy tonight."

He thanked her, and she moved closer to him. "Thanks again for today. I'll see you tomorrow."

She stood up on her toes and kissed Chris's cheek. She started to pull away, until Chris's lips met her own.


So there's Chapter 4! Sorry I ended it on that note.
