Chapter 7 Jealousy

Everyone got used to having Jamie around, it took her almost a month to settle into a routine of her own, John really enjoyed having his buddy back and since the first day they had been having lunch together everyday and John found he couldn't let her go again. He was torn between new love with Liz and old love with Jamie. John had never been so confused. On the cloudy Monday just after lunch Liz cornered her boyfriend, tears threatening to pile down her slender cheeks.

"We need to talk John"

"Sure what about?" He took her hand and kissed her knuckles.

"You've been having an affair" She said evenly trying not to meet his eyes but not quite suceeding. John just looked at her baffled.

"No I haven't and you know I haven't"

"Yes you have you've been having an emotional affair with the new girl"

John just looked at her confused "What are you talking about Liz?"

"You have been spending alot of time with the new girl, damn it John I'm your girlfriend not her"

"Yes I'm aware of that, I still have no clue what your talking about"

"You've been avoiding me to spend time with her"

John sighed, so she had noticed "Liz I'm not having anything with Jam, we're friends and thats it" John wished it were more but his conscience just wouldn't let him let go of Liz. John didn't know what he wanted if he were honest.

"Do you promise your not having an affair with her?" Liz looked up at him sadly.

John kissed her cheek "I give you my word I'm not cheating on you with Jamie, we're just friends. She's my buddy thats it"

The day continued on as normal and Jamie was busy going through her list.

"Hey Jamie can we talk?" Liz asked popping her head into the Divas locker room. All the Divas were away training so Jamie decided to get some down time while they were away.

"Sure sparkle sparkle" Jamie grinned moving her papers.

"I wanted to talk to you about John"

"Is he ok?" Fear lept into her system, she loved John with all her heart everyone knew that except John of course.

"He's fine" Liz soothed before puffing out a steam of air. "I wanted to ask why your hanging around my boyfriend so much"

"Because we are friends, did he ever tell you about the time we played hide and seek?" Jamie smiled at the short memory her brain managed to hold. "We had so much fun that day"

"I'm sure you did" Liz gave her a fake smile "I wanted to ask you to stay away from him"

"But why?"

"Because he's my boyfriend and not yours"

"But why?" Jamie asked again still confused at what she was telling her.

"Because I don't like it"

"I'm confused"

"Jamie I'm saying stay away from my man"

"For how long? Cause I gotta go near him to give him papers and to poke him"

"Why would you poke him?"

"Why not poke him, thats like every girls dream, to go up to John Cena and poke him"

Liz just looked at her wondering how the conversation took this kind of turn "Your saying you wanna poke my boyfriend?"

"I'm saying the entire world wants to poke him he's so pokeable" Jamie laughed before turning her attention to the tattoo on her arm. "Pretty"

"Jamie focus. John wants you to stay away from him"

"I'm still confused"

"John's a little soft when it comes to this issue so he asked me to talk to you, he's really uncomfortable with how you hang around him all the time, at first it was alright but John's getting a little annoyed with it"

"He's annoyed with me?"

"Yeah, he's getting to the end of his patience" Liz lied straight to her face. It was much easier lying to Jamie than it was explaining her jealousy.

"I understand now" Jamie smiled again picking up her stuff "And I think I need to have a chat with a certain pokable champion and I don't mean the manager of farmers"

Before Liz could stop her Jamie was off out the door hollering for John.

"There you are Mr Man" Jamie finally located John in his locker room of all places. "We needs to talk and don't tell me you don't have time because you do"

"Ok Jam, what did you wanna talk about?"

"If you didn't wanna hang out with me then why do you always ask me to lunch"

"Jamie what are you talking about?"

She stomped her foot inpatiently "You know what I'm talking about John, your groundhog told me"

"What did she tell you"

"Everything! Well except why I couldn't poke you but she told me everything else" Jamie had to pause and think about what she just said hoping it made sense. "Yeah that made sense"

John tried to take her hand but she wriggled free, in a heart beat her hand flew up catching him right across the face.

"If you ever lie to me again I'll get a bar of soap carve it into a drink and throw it in your face" Jamie snapped stalking out of the room. She had no idea why she was so angry but she figured it was justified.

John went to find Liz after Jamie had slapped him. He was so angry, mainly at what Liz could of said to her but a little at Jamie not talking to him properly. Instead she slapped him with a vengence, she may of been small but Jamie sure could slap. John figured she learnt from her aunt Stephanie.

"What did you tell Jamie?" John demanded once he found his girlfriend.

"I didn't tell her anything" Liz said sweetly, hoping that John bought her lies.

"You didn't tell her anything about me?"

"No, why would I and it's not like she would believe me anyway" Liz wrapped her arms around him "Is everything alright?"

"Jamie's mad at me and I don't know why"

"Who knows, that girl never makes any sense." Liz went on "Its like she's got brain damage"

John didn't know why but he took that simple sentence as a cheap stab at his friend. Shaking out of her grip he stalked away from his girlfriend in hopes that Jamie would still talk to him tomorrow.
