"So remember if I text you 911 you have to call me right away and tell me someone is in the hospital." Lex went over the plan once more.
"Uh huh." Phil remarked as he signed his autograph to another promo photo. He had signed fifty so far and he still had another hindered to go through.
"Are you even listening to me?" she asked partially annoyed.
"Yes, 911. Call Hospital." She raised a brow. At least he got part of the message right. "Why are you going out with this guy if you are already making plans to blow him off?"
"Because he is the son of someone my mom works with and she practically begged me to. I guess the guy saw my picture and thought I was cute."
"Wait what picture? I have yet to see what you look like now that you are healthy again?" He asked a little miffed he still had no idea what she looked like.
"I am not really a picture person. I hate having my picture taken." she frowned. She really did hate having her picture taken.
"That is totally bullshit. I expect a picture message before this night is over or there will be hell to pay." he threatened.
"Well if you insist." she gave in.
He stopped signing for a moment. His eyes narrowed as he because very suspicious. She caved way too easily. "Why are you just giving in to my demands so easily. Usually I have to argue with you for about twenty minutes."
"You are right you deserve to see a picture. I promise to send you something after I get home from my date."
"Ya know it's gonna be late when you get back so feel free to take the picture in whatever you sleep in." he grinned.
"I sleep in my underwear and bra."
His grin grew larger. "Even better."
"You are such a pervert." she rolled her eyes disgusted with the whole male race. "How can you be one of my closest friends when all you think about is sex?"
"Like you don't think about it." he retorted back at her. "You make such as many sexual references as I do."
"I do not." She argued. "I am a proper lady." But even she could not keep a straight face and ended up laughing. He laughed at well.
"If that is so then I am an alcoholic."
"Oh my god the other day I was almost dragged into and AA meeting." she said remembering an incident that happened to her while at work.
"How the hell did that happen?" he asked mildly curious.
"Well I had just gotten off of the elevator and was heading back to the office. On Sunday mornings they have AA meetings in the conference room. So I was walking past the door to the room and the people standing in the doorway stopped me and were like come on Sweetheart it's time to start the meeting." she paused. "I was like excuse me first off I work here and secondly I don't drink or do drugs so therefore I do not need to go to your stupid meeting. I was furious. I mean seriously do I look like an alcoholic?"
"I would not know." Phil retorted.
"Shuddup."
"Very mature." he smirked.
"Well I have to go. Who knows maybe I won't need you to call me and I finally get me a little somethin."
Phil threw up a little in his mouth. " On the first date? No Lexie please don't be that girl."
"What girl."
"The type of girl who's self esteem is so low that she will have sex with a guy she just met to try and boost her ego even just a little bit."
"Mean." she replied somewhat insulted. "I know those aren't your usual types of girls but are you telling me that if one came up to you and was like hey you wanna hook up you would say no."
"Yes I would. Because I am not a one-nighter kinda guy. I like being in a relationship with someone. Besides I am a guy who has already had sex. The rules are totally different for guys anyways." he said. "Plus you are not that kind of girl. You are strong and smart and beautiful inside and out. You are the type of girl that the guy wants but knows he can never have so he settles for one nighters."
She smiled at his words. She knew there was a reason he was her friend. "Way to make a girl blush Punk. Now as much as I would love to spend the rest of the night chatting it up on the phone with you. But I have a mother to appease and you have to go out and wrestle."
"Yea I do don't I." he sighed.
"Please be safe out there tonight."
"I will I promise."
"Bye Punkers."
"Bye Loo Loo."

He was not sure why but the thought of her going out with some strange man bothered him. Why did she even need to date anyways? She didn't need a guy in her life, she had him. Well she didn't have him -have him, he reminded himself. He was just a really good friend to her. But still she didn't need any men in her life, all men were scum as far as Phil was concerned.
But he also knew that she needed to live her life. Eventually she would want to settle down and have a family, and he would be crazy Uncle Phil. He was ok with that right? Yes he was. She deserved to be completely happy with her life after all the sadness that had been over her for the past few years. He just wished there was some way to hit the fast forward button so he they could both skip all the loser guys she was going to have to date before finding Mr. Right.
It was later that night, he was just finishing taping his wrists for his match. His cell phone rang out letting him know he had a text. Smirking when he saw it was from Lex. 911 was all it read. With a chuckle he dialed.
