A week had passed. Emily had made a new friend.

Flashback

Five Days Ago…

Emily was at the arena trying to get a Coke from the machine. She'd put her money but the Coke had gotten stuck.

"Oh come on." She said. Suddenly a hand smacked the machine and the Coke fell down. She bent down to get the Coke and turned around and saw Bobby Roode standing behind her. "Thanks Bobby."

"No problem, Emily right?"

"Yes."

End Of Flashback

Ever since then he would come up to her make-up table every day they would talk. She knew he liked her because he would flirt with her whenever they talked.

It was the afternoon. Emily went to AJ's room to hang out with her. They were sitting on the couch.

"So how much longer are you gonna hold out on me?" AJ asked.

"What?"

"Come on, tell me everything."

"About me and Bobby Roode?" "There's really nothing to tell." "We just recently started talking."

"Bobby Roode?" She said confused. "What are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You and John the night of the Hall Of Fame ceremony."

"How do you know about that?"

"So it is true?"

"It's true." "Who told you?"

"Randy told me in a text." "So?"

"It wasn't the first time it's happen." "We'd been drinking the first time to." "They were mistakes." "We both agree they were mistakes." "We're gonna stay friends."

"Why are the both of you in so much denial?" "You're crazy about each other and you know it."

"AJ come on."

"You know it." "I can see it in your eyes right now."

"For the millionth time, we're just friends."

"How was "just your friend." She said making quotation marks with her fingers. "The night of the Hall Of Fame ceremony?"

"Which time?" "We did it in the limo first."

"Who started it?"

"Him."

"And?"

"He's great." "He knows how to use all parts of his body well, if you know what I mean." She said smiling.

"Really?"

"Yeah." "The sex was great to."

"Why do you think it was so great?"

"Well we were both trashed for one."

"Or, you love each other."

"We do not."

"Is that why you're talking to Bobby?" "To cover up your feelings?"

"I only have friendship feelings for John." "I don't even know if anything's gonna happen with me and Bobby yet." "I know he likes me." "He flirts with me all the time."

"Do you like him?"

"He's cute and he's very sweet." "I guess we'll wait and see what happens."

That night John was having trouble sleeping. He'd been tossing and turning all night. He reached for his cell phone and dialed Emily's number. Emily couldn't sleep either. She was up watching TV. Her cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said

"Hi." John said.

"Hi."

"Did I wake you?"

"No." "I was up." "Is Penelope ok?"

"She's fine." "I just wanna talk." "How's your night been?"

"Uneventful." "I can't sleep."

"Me either." "I just have stuff on my mind."

"Me to."

They stayed up talking until two in the morning.

The next evening everyone was at the arena. Emily was at the make-up with Penelope. Emily had just done Naomi's make-up. Naomi left. Bobby came up to the make-up table.

"Hi Bobby." Emily said.

"Hi beautiful." "Hi Penelope."

"Hi Bobby." Penelope said.

"Well I have a match." I just wanted to say hi." He walked away.

Five minutes later John came to pick up Penelope.

"Hey Em." He said.

"Hi." Emily said.

"Ready to go Penelope?"

"Yeah." Penelope said.

John and Penelope went to his locker room to get his bags.

"Guess what daddy." Penelope said.

"What?"

"I think Emily has a boyfriend." John stopped dead in his tracks when she said that and turned around. "Are you sure?"

"Bobby Roode has been hanging around her a lot lately."

"Really?" "Bobby Roode huh?" He said with annoyance in his voice.

"Daddy are you ok?"

"I'm fine." "Let's go."

After his match Bobby was walking by the make-up table in his street clothes with his bag slung over his shoulder. He stopped.

"Outta here?" Emily asked.

"Yeah."

"That was a great match tonight."

"Thanks." "Emily, would you like to go out to dinner with me sometime?"

"Well…
