A/N- Sorry, I know this took forever, but I am unsure of how long I want this story to be. Originally it wasn't supposed to be more than 10 chapters, but I can see it's going to way passed that. Next part shouldn't take as long.

"CAYYYYYYLLLIIIINNNNNN!" Chris stood beside the bed, yelling at the sleeping figure. He was unsure of what time she joined him, or why, but he didn't have time to question it.

"I'm going to murder you."

"I love you too, babe. But right now, you have to get up, get dressed, and get out." Chris was blunt and he knew it, but he didn't have time to be nice.

"And why is that." He knew that question would be next, but he didn't quite have an answer for it.

"Uhh....Jay wants to take you somewhere." Chris lied.

"CHRISTIAN??" She squealed. It had been two days, and Chris was rather annoyed at her adoration of his neighbor.

"His. Name. Is. Jay."

"Who cares. So where are we going?"

"I'm not going. It's just you two. So go get ready." Without wasting any more time, Caylin rushed to the shower. Meantime, Chris dialed Jay's number.

"I need you to take Caylin out for the day." Chris said as soon as Jay said hello.

"You know, ever since you have been home, I haven't slept in past eight." Jay mumbled.

"Please Jay. I'll repay you....well, no I won't. But I need her out of the house so Cody and Ted can decorate."

"And what do you plan on doing while all this is taking place?"

"Ordering those two assclowns around. Now, I already told Caylin you wanted to take her somewhere, so you have to."

"And where and I supposed to take her?"

"Your bedroom. I don't know, just take her out and show her the town. Don't bring her back until five."

"Chris..." Jay was ready to protest, but of course, didn't get the chance.

"Thanks. I'll send her over when she is done Giver her two hours, she takes forever to get ready. Remember, five o'clock." Chris hung up the phone and looked at the clock. He had an hour before his two worthless assclowns were set to arrive, so he decided to get online. He smiled as soon as he connected. She was online, too.

KingOfYourWorld: Haven't talked to you in a while.
CanYouSayCay: I took your advice and called him up that night.
KingOfYourWorld: And what does that have to do with you not being on here talking to me?
CanYouSayCay: He has been keeping me busy/annoyed/irritated/entertained.
KingOfYourWorld: Likely excuse.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
CanYouSayCay: Yes, it is so exciting I can barely contain myself.
KingOfYourWorld: I think you have been around this Chris fellow too long.
CanYouSayCay: Tell me about it.
KingOfYourWorld: Trouble in paradise?
CanYouSayCay: I slept with him twice......
KingOfYourWorld: Was it good?
CanYouSayCay: NOT SEX! I mean, I slept in bed with him, twice, when I didn't have to.
KingOfYourWorld: Why?
CanYouSayCay: I have no idea, I'm just glad he hasn't questioned me on it.
KingOfYourWorld: So has anything new happened?
CanYouSayCay: I met this guy....
KingOfYourWorld: I need a name!
CanYouSayCay: Jay

KingOfYourWorld has signed off.

Chris reread the conversation. Again, again, and again. He knew Caylin liked Christian, but he didn't know she liked Jay. She didn't even know him, how could she like him? They only spent two days together! He wasn't sure why he signed off like he did, but he really didn't want to stay on and talk to her. He ignored the pang in his chest and closed his computer.

He quickly showered and got dressed before walking downstairs, seeing Caylin in the kitchen. Attempting to cook.

"The egg has to be out of the shell before you can fry it." Chris offered his help as he sat down at his table.

"Very funny asshole. I know that. How do you keep the egg from breaking as you cook it? This is ridiculous!" Caylin was becoming frustrated. She already went through six eggs and still couldn't cook one the right way.

"The skillet is too hot." Chris didn't even have to look at the setting on the stove to know she had it set on high. He could tell by listening to the egg hit the skillet and basically frying itself to death.

"Do I have to flip it?" She asked a few minutes later, watching the egg sizzle. Who knew cooking was so damn hard?

"That usually helps." For the first time, she took in his attitude. He sounded mad or annoyed at something.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked him, turning away from the stove and facing him. He was fine earlier.

"Nothing. Hurry up, Jay's waiting for you." Caylin watched him walk out of the room. Something was definitely wrong. She didn't have time to really find out though, as she was already late meeting Jay.

Cody and Ted stopped walking as soon as they were inside Chris's house. Chris was sitting there on his chair, watching TV. He didn't even look at them, or even say hi. Cody was used to that treatment, but Ted wasn't.

"Maybe he didn't hear us come in." Cody offered an explanation.

"No, I don't think so."

"Are you two just going to stand there all day or are you going to get this place ready? You only have four hours until Jay bring her back. People are arriving a little before that, and you two are still standing there wasting time. I'm not paying you to look pretty."

"You're not paying us at all." Cody reminded him.

"Cody Rhodes, I don't have time for your nonsense today. Ted, you decorate this room, Cody, you prepare the food. Oh, and put up any valuable Jericho memorabilia."

Three hours with no break was enough to bother anyone. Cody ended up doing just about everything that needed to be done while Ted and Chris ate, talked, and watched old wrestling matches. Cody cleaned, decorated, cooked, and put up all valuables. By four o'clock, everything was ready. Now all that was left to do was wait.

"Thanks for today, it was fun." Caylin spoke up as Jay and her drove back to Chris's.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Jay smiled at her. He took her to a few novelty shops in Tampa, and then of course to the zoo, at her request.

"I had no idea Tampa had a zoo that big."

"Did you keep count on how many animals you named Chris?" Jay asked, chuckling slightly.

"Only the gorilla, mule, and buffalo."

"And a whale and a hippo." Jay added.

"Sorry, they all resembled him." Even though she would never say it out loud, this was one of the best birthdays she has ever had, an no one even knew it.

"So, when do you guys have to head out?" Jay wondered.

"Tomorrow night is our flight out. But, Mr. Asshole might be going alone if he doesn't lose his attitude." Caylin thought back to their conversation earlier that day and still couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He had more PMS days than a woman did.

"Is he in the middle of another mood swing? He'll get over it, don't worry." Jay told her, knowing his best friend better than most.

"He better. Is Chris having a party that I don't know about?" Caylin asked as she saw all the cars surrounding Chris's house.

"I don't know. I guess we'll have to go in and look." He kept his smile to himself. They walked from Jay's driveway to Chris's house and walked in. Caylin could hear loud music before she even got near the door. The first thing she saw inside was a banner hanging that said "Happy 31st Birthday Caylin". She turned around and looked at Jay who just shrugged while smiling. Well that explains why he took her out for the entire day.

"Caylin! Happy birthday girl." Cody was the first to greet her upon entering the house. She looked around; it was packed. There had to be over sixty people here. As far as she could tell, they were all from work.

"Thanks Cody." Who did this? Who knew it was her birthday?

"There's the birthday girl." Caylin looked to her left to see a few of her friends.

"Hey Mickie. Uh, who did this?" She couldn't help but asking.

"Chris did. We got the invitations a few weeks ago." Mickie explained.

"Oh." She wasn't expecting that.

Within an hour, the party was in full swing, and the alcohol was starting to show on some people, such as Ted and Randy who were competing on the dance floor to the Macarena. Caylin was having fun, despite her hate for birthday parties. She talked to everyone, and everyone was having a good time. She still didn't see Chris to thank him yet, and no one had seemed to see him for a good two hours. After searching the house, she knew either two things. He left, or he was in his stupid secret room. His car was in the driveway, which only left option B.

"Alright....think Caylin. What is the combination to unlock the door?" She mumbled to herself as she stood in front of the door. If she punched in the wrong one, a loud siren was going to sound through the house, and she didn't want that.

"11...8....4....4...what was the last one......2." She hesitantly pressed the2, and let out a breath when no loud sound came about. She had the right code. She opened the door and stepped inside the room for the first time.

"Don't move until I turn the lights on." His voice stopped her, and she stayed glued to her spot. A few seconds later light filled the room, and she took in her surroundings. It was simply a bedroom, nothing to it. Why did he have an alarm on this room?

"Hey." She smiled at him, though he didn't notice it. He was laying on the bed with his arm over his eyes as if he was blocking out the light. It appeared this room was soundproof because she couldn't hear any music or people from downstairs.

"How did you get in here?" He asked her, his voice not exactly light.

"I entered the code thing."

"How did you know it. Jay doesn't even know it."

"I watched you punch it in when I set it off." She explained. He cursed himself quietly, how could he have been so careless?

"Shouldn't you be downstairs?"

"Why do you have an alarm on this room if all it is is another bedroom?" She asked, changing the subject.

"I like my alone time. No one can bother me in here. I come in here when I want to be left alone." The harshness in his voice was evident.

"I just wanted to say tha..."

"You can't take a hint, can you?" He interrupted.

"Sorry. I'll leave." She didn't say anything else, she just left. He cursed himself. He didn't mean to be so harsh, he just wanted to be left alone. Now her felt bad, great.

He felt even worse that he looked at her before she walked out and saw the tears brimming her eyes.

"Way to go jackass."
