"You haven't even asked her out yet

"You haven't even asked her out yet?!"

"Not yet."

"Are you fucking insane?! By the way you two act you should already be boyfriend and girlfriend! Jesus Christ Matt…"

Matt laughed at his good friend Shannon as he taped his wrists. Shannon was just yelling at him about his situation with Janessa. No, they weren't going out yet. They could if they wanted to. Matt wanted to ask her out so bad. But he didn't know if he was ready yet; or if Janessa was either.

"It's all a matter of time Shannon."

"Dude, in your situation, you don't NEED time. Janessa doesn't need time! She likes you! End of story!"

"How do you know that?"

"Are you serious dude?"

"Would you hurt me if I was?"

Shannon grunted loudly as he cursed to himself. Matt laughed harder as he threw his tape in his bag. Of course he wasn't serious. He knew Janessa liked him. He lust loved pissing Shannon off. It always made his day. Shannon glared at Matt and sighed.

"She went out on a date with YOU. She ditched Helms to see YOU. She made out with YOU on your kitchen floor covered in blue Dawn soap! What does that tell YOU?"

"That could mean anything. She could just be flirty…"

"No one is that flirty Matt. Trust me…"

"Hold that thought!"

Matt rushed out of the room past Shannon and out the door. He ran down the halls before being pulled back by Shannon. Matt fell to the ground hard but jumped up.

"What's the hurry buddy?"

"Janessa is interviewing John. I told her I would watch her and then we could hang out afterwards."

"You sap. You're wrapped around her finger."

"I don't mind that."

Matt smiled as he pushed his friend away and ran down the halls again. After a while he finally reached the interviewing station. He saw Janessa standing in the spotlight getting some last minute makeup touch-ups. She looked over at Matt and waved frantically. Matt laughed as he waved back at her. The producer snapped his fingers and her head instantly turned toward him. He counted down from five to one and the interview started.

"Ladies and gentlemen it is my honor to introduce the WWE Champion, John Cena."

John came on set and smirked at Janessa. Matt saw Janessa hold a giggle in as she took in a breath before speaking. Matt couldn't help but feel jealous. Did John always have to be so flirty?

"John after a brutal attack on RAW this past Monday and being forced to kiss King Booker's feet, you will be teaming with Lashley and Batista to take on King Booker, Finlay and William Regal. What are your thought's on tonight's match?"

John looked off set, then looked back with his smirk plastered on his face as he aimed it toward Janessa. Matt saw her force her smile to not appear on her face as she tried to stay in character.

"You're a pretty little thing. You new around here?"

"Yes sir."

"Don't go getting hurt now. I would hate to see your pretty face getting bruised in a match."

John lifted Janessa's head up with his thumb as he looked her in the eyes. Matt wanted to interrupt the interview and spear John away from his girl. Well…technically Janessa wasn't his girl yet. So she was available to anyone; including John Cena. The thought of Janessa with John made Matt be confident that he had to ask Janessa out tonight.

"Thanks John. But why don't you answer my question about tonight?"

"Right. My match! Sorry…got lost in your gorgeous eyes. Anyway! Tonight I will have Lashley and Batista against Booker and his so called 'royal court.' Well their gonna get a royal ass kicking tonight. You see, Lashley is a dominator. He was undefeated for a long time and he probably still would be if Finlay didn't interrupt in his match at King of the Ring. And Batista has so much power and strength he could snap anyone in half if he wanted to! So tonight…we put all feuds aside. Because tonight…I'm getting revenge."

John stared into the camera with an intense look until the producer told him that they were off air. Janessa finally smiled as she looked at John. Matt was about to walk up to her until someone walked up behind him and rested their elbow on his shoulder.

"She really is a beauty isn't she?"

Matt scowled as he turned around to face Gregory. He was looking at Janessa and grinning from ear to ear. Matt pushed Gregory's elbow off his shoulder and stood in the way of his sight of Janessa.

"You have no right to say that about her."

"Why not? She's not yours. She's not anyone's. That's why John is hitting on her right now. Hell…I could have her."

"I'm pretty sure that after your disaster date she wouldn't consider you."

"That's just one date. I can always make it up. I'm just here to warn ya Hardy. If you don't snatch her soon she'll lose interest and move on to someone else."

Matt snarled as Gregory smirked at him and walked away. Matt looked back to see Janessa talking to John. John was holding onto Janessa's hand while he talked to her. Matt could hear Janessa laughed as John kept talking. Gregory was right. Anyone could have Janessa. And if he didn't act quickly, Janessa would be gone like that. Matt was about to walk up to her until Janessa started walking toward him. She smiled back at John and waved good bye as she approached him.

"Oh my god I didn't know it would be that hard to interview John!"

"Yeah must have been…what were you talking about?"

"He wanted to take me out tonight. What else?"

"What did you say?"

"That I had other plans. We might go out another time if he comes back. Or maybe after No Mercy…oh well. Ready to go?"

"Ummm…yeah sure."

"Great! Let me get my stuff and I'll meet ya by the exit?"

Matt nodded as Janessa smiled and walked off to her room. Matt watched her walk away down the hall and around the corner. He was finally convinced. Matt needed to get a hold of Janessa. If they didn't go out she would go out with John sometime and fall head over heels with him. Then he knew he would lose her for good. If not John then it would be another star for sure. Matt sighed as he walked toward the curtain for his match. Would Janessa get bored? She really wouldn't go out with anyone else would she? Matt shook his as if to get the thought out of his mind. Tonight when they would go out he would ask her out for sure. Any later and he would lose her for good.
