Chapter 11:

Both DJ and Amanda were sitting in the VIP room watching RAW on the big huge 150 inch HD flatscreen TV. Even though Joe was cold towards her before his match, she was happy he made DJ happy. As promised, Joe did an extra spear just for DJ on Orton. After the match, he did a little celebrating and did a bump chest for DJ, then high fived the fans on his way back to the back. During this time, both Colby and Jon came by to talk to her. At first, they were denied entry until Amanda said it was okay.

"Uncle Seth! Uncle Dean! Did you see Roman beat Randy Orton? Huh? Huh?" he said excitely. Both men chuckled and gave him a fist bumps, then both bent down. "Hey buddy, our real names are Colby and Jon, so if you want to call us that instead, that will be okay. And yes, we did see our buddy beat the so called Viper!" he said in a light voice.

DJ looked at both of them in confusion, "Which one is Jon and which one is Colby?" He stated as he squints his eyes and pointed at both of them.

"Well, I'm Colby, " the two toned uncle said.

"And I'm Jon" the wild haired one responded.

"Okay, hi Uncle Colby! Hi Uncle Jon!" DJ says in a very funny childlike voice. He really has grown to love these two as his uncles over the past week.

They both fist bump DJ and then stood back up, Colby spoke up first, "Hey buddy, can we talk to your mom alone for a moment?" DJ looks in confusion again, but Jon stepped in, "What Uncle Colby is trying to say is would you like to sit over there and watch Sin Cara beat Bo Dallas while we talk to your momma here for a few moments?" DJ nods and heads over to the big TV while Amanda steps closer to both Colby and Jon.

"What's up boys? And Colby, why is your neck so red?" she asked not wanting to really know, but wants to know.

"Well, seems Joe kinda of lost it with me earlier tonight in the locker room when I asked how lunch went. He literally went off on me and if it wasn't for Jon walking in on it, I may not even be standing here." He said as he rubs his neck.

Amanda looks down, knowing she was the reason he got hurt and almost badly from what it sounds like, "I'm so sorry". Colby lifts her chin up to where his eyes are, "It's okay, we just want to know what happened and why he snapped like this. Truth be known, we have never seen him look like this before. It is like he is a whole new person that he kept hidden."

Amanda looks at him and faintly smiles than looks at the security, "Boys, I am going to step right outside this door, please keep your eyes on my son." Both security officers nodded as she looks over at her son. "Bubbe, I will be right outside with Uncle Colby and Jon, okay? You be good and if you need anything, just open the door and I am right there". DJ looks over at his mother, "Okay momma!" Then turns back around and continues to watch his favorite wrestler win the match.

Jon opens the door and both Amanda and Colby walks outside the door as Jon shuts it behind him. She instantly crosses her arms and rubs them in nervousness. Jon steps over this time, "Sweetheart, no one is gonna hurt you, please tell us what happened. I usually don't go into other people's business, whatever happened is affecting him both personally and professionally and we need to make sure we are aware of what is happening so that it doesn't affect his career and others around him, so we can protect him somehow," as he puts his arms around her and she leans in.

After thinking for a few minutes and sighing, she begins to tell her story.

After Raw, and after meeting countless of wrestlers for the next two hours, both Amanda and DJ heads back to the hotel they are staying. They found out that most of the wrestlers are staying on the same floor as they are so DJ asked if he could stay with his "uncles" for the night. Both Colby and Jon said it was okay to give Amanda a little break with some peace and quiet, to think about the advice they gave her about Joe and where to go from there. After some convincing, Amanda agrees as long as they didn't hire any strippers are take him anywhere, (LOL), and they were only three rooms down from hers. So it made it easier in case DJ forgets where he is at and they can get her if she is needed.

Amanda took a shower, got dressed in her pj shorts and night shirt, and sat by the window, looking out over the strip. It was beautiful sight to see all the lights light up everywhere. She could even see Treasure Island and the water show they provide. A single tear falls down as she remembers the events of earlier today. She could deny it all she wants, but in truth, she was so attracted to Joe in such a way that no matter what she says or does, it comes back and makes her body feel on fire. But she is just a lowly housekeeper for a hotel, why would a mega star in the making like Joe be so interested in her? In her mind, she has nothing to give him, and after her relationship with Kevin, she wasn't sure she wanted to anymore. More tears starts to fall as she heard a gentle knock, she quickly wipes her eyes and gets up, thinking its DJ, and answers the door. She is shocked when she sees who it is.

"Joe?" she asked shakily, "What are you doing here this late?"

"We need to talk Amanda and the boys won't let me in the room until we do. May I?" he asked politely.

Looking down, she steps aside and lets Joe in. As she shuts the door, she grabs a tissue and wipes her nose while sniffling. Joe, looking at her from the lights outside the window, can see she has been crying. He hated that and needed to get to the bottom of it. She walks over to the window and sits down and Joe follows her.

"Amanda, please tell me what is going on. What have I done that made you act this way towards me? Didn't the connection we felt last week mean anything to you? Cause it sure as hell did for me." he said as he sits down beside her.

Bringing her legs up on the chair, she wraps her arms around her knees, she closes her eyes as more tears fall. She opens them again, not looking at Joe, but looking out at the lights, she begins to respond.

"Joe, you really haven't done anything. I just want to know what in the hell you see in a lowly housekeeper who can never give you anything, on top of that, that's older than you and has a child who is almost a teenager. Truth is, you scare the hell out of me, that kiss you gave me earlier today was the first time I have been kissed in over three years. Yes, I have had sex with my ex from time to time, but never any kissing involved, I haven't even been made love to in almost 6 years. You made me feel things I haven't felt in so long that I am afraid that its all a dream that if I wake up, its not real. The connection we felt last week was one I have never felt before and when you wouldn't tell me why me, I figured you just wanted in my panties and I am not the one for one night stand."

Amanda couldn't look at Joe after saying what she felt. She wasn't sure if she could so she kept her eyes on the lights outside.

Joe, looking at her in shock at her admission, slowly got out of the chair he was sitting in and slide over in front of her chair and took his hand to her chin and brought her to look at him, she closed her eyes instead.

"Look at me Amanda," he said with authority, "Don't hide your eyes from me, I need to see them looking back at me when I talk to you, Please".

She slowly opens her eyes at looks at the grey eyes staring back at her. She gulps as she tries to breathe and listens to what he has to say.

Joe drops his hands to her hands as he sits on his knees. He squeezes them as he starts to speak.

"Amanda, first off, you are a beautiful woman who is raising a son on her own and doing a hellva job. I can honestly say that I have never seen Colby and Jon so smitten with him and they don't really like to be around kids that much unless they have their own." She chuckles a little.

"Second off, who the fuck cares what you do for a living? As long as your son has a roof over his head, food in his stomach and clothes on his back, then you are doing what any real parent does. Love them, provide for them, mold them. From what I can see, he is very respectful and very well mannered young man. Have no shame in what you do, just because you don't like the job, doesn't mean I think any less of you. You do what you do to survive in this world. Yes, I am extremely lucky to be able to do what I do, yes, I had it easy in one aspect, but I still have to struggle to prove I can do it on my own. Not easy, but that is what gets me through the day."

Joe pulls her hands to his mouth and he kisses it, making her suck in her breath...he puts it back down in her lap but not letting go.

"And thirdly, fuck the man who didn't want to treat you like a queen in bed, to make love to you, to kiss you senseless. It is his loss if he can't see what a wonderful person you are. From what I can see, you are beautiful the way you are. That kiss was too damn good!"

"But I am not a model type like the Divas look-" she tried to say as Joe puts his finger to her mouth, cutting her off.

"Enough. I don't give a rat's ass because I rather you be real than fake. So what if your boobs aren't big, which by the way are just the right size" he smirked as she blushes and tries to cover her chest. Of course, Joe stops her, "Don't, Don't hide yourself" he warned.

Not saying anything for a few seconds, Joe had an idea. "I want you to show you something real quick," as he gets up and holds out his hands.

Amanda thinks for a moment and then puts her hand in his and he gently pulls her up. He then walks her over to the full length mirror and has her stand in front of it while he stands behind her. She turns to look away, not liking what she sees. But again, Joe stops her.

"Don't look away, I want you to look at your self and tell me why you don't think you are beautiful. Because nothing you say to me right now or ever will convince me that you don't." As he inhales her scent from her neck, resisting the urge to kiss it.

Feeling somewhat defeated, she looks at herself, 'Ugh you look so ugly' she thought to herself. Fighting the tears in her eyes again, she looks at Joe in the mirror, "Please Joe, dont' make me do this..." she whispers.

"If you aren't going to, then I will, but you will NOT look away, I want your eyes on you in this mirror. I am gonna show you that you are, trust me?" he asked as he looked at her scared eyes.

Not saying a word, she slowly nods...

So how is Joe gonna show her that she is beautiful? Stay tuned to find out! :)
