Chapter 20

Months past, Mark was champion and Royal Rumble was around the corner. Jessica had kept the secret. Vince or Shane would call her or the secret person. Rumors were all over the internet, but worst case was some wrestlers seemed to celebrar to early. Jessica was in the lobby at the time when Phil came in. Phil saw her and headed her way. He noticed she was on her phone and she let him know she'd be a minute longer. After she hung up and put her phone away, she looked at Phil.

"What's wrong?" Jessica asked.

"Nothing, just got in from a few errands." Phil answered.

"Okay." Jessica said.

"Are you okay." Phil asked.

"Yes and no." Jessica answered.

"So you gonna tell me." Phil asked.

"You know I have good and bad days. Besides I can't tell you everything." Jessica answered.

Before Phil could ask anything else, both their phone rang. Jessica moved away from Phil and listened as the other person spoke. Soon Phil got off his phine and waited for Jessica. She kept listening. Phil kissed her cheek and said he'd see her later. Jessica watched him walk away. She headed towards the elevator and got on. She rode all the way to the secret floor to go meet up with the secret person. She walked the hall and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened the door and pulled inside. Jessica was pulled into a hug.

"How much longer do I have to keep this."

"Just until Sunday night."

"I hate this, I can't tell anyone."

"I know just hang in a little longer."

"What other plans do they have for me."

"Jess, you play along like you have till then."

"Not much to play since no one sees my face once I'm down at ringside."

"Yeah but I bet they know who you are, otherwise they wouldn't like you."

"Yeah whatever."

"After the rumble you won't have to hide this from anyone."

"That's always a plus."

"Now go back to your man and make him happy."

Jessica left the room and headed back to Mark's room. When she unlocked the door, she headed inside. The room was to quiet but what did she expect when Mark wasn't around. She headed towards the bedroom and saw Mark. He looked at her.

"Everything okay." Mark asked.

"Yeah." Jessica answered.

"Are you sure." Mark asked.

"Yeah." Jessica answered.

"You know you can tell me anything." Mark said.

"I do have a few questions though." Jessica replied.

"Okay." Mark said.

"Do you have any idea what they're gonna do with me." Jessica asked.

"Not really sure until after Royal Rumble." Mark answered.

"What about us." Jessica asked.

"I love you but I have a feeling there's someone else." Mark answered.

"So all this wasn't even worth the effort." Jessica said.

"You needed to get over Matt and I helped so it was worth it." Mark replied.

Jessica gathered her things and then left the room. She headed towards Dave's and knocked on the door. Dave soon opened the door and let her in.

"So what happened." Dave asked.

"He just wanted to get me over Matt." Jessica answered.

"Just hang in till after Sunday." Dave said.

"So can I stay here or do I have to find somewhere else to stay." Jessica asked.

"You can stay." Dave answered.

"Thanks." Jessica said.

Jessica got comfortable. Dave sat down and looked at her.

"What did he say?" Dave asked.

"He wanted to help me get over Matt but he doesn't love me." Jessica answered.

"But there is someone, right." Dave asked.

"Yes." Jessica answered.

"Who?" Dave asked.

"Can't say until I see him." Jessica answered.

"You can tell me anything." Ddave said.

"I know but this is something I'm not really sure of." Jessica replied.

"Is he here." Dave asked.

"Yeah but not sure where." Jessica answered.

"Alright, get comfortable and then do something for you." Dave said.

Jessica took Dave's advice and got comfortable before she did something for herself. She first changed into comfortable clothes. She then got a keycard from Dave before she left the toom. She knew where she was heading after she got on the elevator. Soon she was walking down the hall towards the mystery room. She knocked on the door and was soon let in.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"What bout mark.

"He doesn't love me like you do."

"But we can't do anything until after tomorrow."

"I know but right now we could watch movies."

"We could but don't you think it's a litt on the late side.

Jessica turned around and left the room. She headed back the way she came but instead of going back to Dave's room, she headed down to the hotel bar. She wasn't there long when Phil sat beside her.

"What's wrong, princess." Phil asked.

"Don't call me that and nothings wrong." Jessica answered.

Without knowing, John walked up and hugged her.

"You and me are gonna go for a walk." John said.

John let her go and then he helped her up and they left the bar and headed out to the hotel garden. They walked for a few minutes before John wrapped his arms around her.

"Are you okay." John asked.

"Yes and no. Yes I am and no I'm not." Jessica answered.

"My guess is men problems." John said.

"Good guess." Jessica replied.

"So tell me about it." John said.

"How about not and say we did." Jessica replied.

"Alright, what do you want to do." John asked.

"Anything I'm just not tired yet." Jessica answered.

John just held her. He had to remember she was her best friend and he wasn't suppose to feel that way about her.

"John, what are you thinking." Jessica asked.

"That I shouldn't be thinking about you like that." John answered.

"But you are." Jessica said.

"Yes." John replied.

"But you still have your girl." Jessica said.

"No I don't, we broke up a couple of months ago." John replied.

"Why didn't you say something." Jessica asked.

"Because we were worried about you." John answered.

"No more worrying about me." Jessica said.

"So what's really the problem." John asked.

"You should have asked if the rumors were true first and yes they are. Otherwise you wouldn't know about that problem." Jessica answered.

"So did you want something from him." John asked.

"The way things are going, no I don't." Jessica answered.

"Okay." John said.

"What about you, don't you want that someone special." Jessica asked.

"Sure I do but I think I'm not looking in the right place." John answered.

"Then you need to look in the right place." Jessica said.

"And where would that be." John asked.

"If I knew, I'd tell you. All I seem to find is the bad apples." Jessica answered.

"So just between us, we'll hang out or whatever for awhile." John said.

"So where do you see this going." Jessica asked.

"Depends on how you'd feel about you and me being together." John answered.

"I don't know if I can think of you as that instead of my friend. If it happens, I just hope it doesn't get weird if we ever break up." Jessica said.

"That's a concern we'll have to face one day." John replied.

John continued to hold her as they continued talking. They both realized it was getting late but neither one wanted to leave.

"We should get some sleep." Jessica said.

"But you don't want to." John replied.

"No but we should. I have an early day." Jessica said.

John let her go and they walked back inside and walked through the hotel to the lobby. Jessica saw the girls and lead John far away from them. John understood perfectly. John lead her to the elevators and they got on. John hardly let her go. Once on his floor, John lead her to his room.

"You can come in and watch a movie." John said.

"Thank for the offer but I have to get back to my room." Jessica replied.

"I know you have an early morning." John said.

"Yes I do." Jessica replied.

"Did they tell you what you'l be doing." John asked.

"Photoshoot I think. I'm just told to show up at a certain time." Jessica answered.
