Phil POV
I had taken the pictures of Jodi and she sent them to everyone. Everyone loved them, except Dave; I knew that it bothered her that he didn't like them.
"What's wrong?" I asked her after she talked to Mickie.
"Nothing." She said and I just looked at her.
"So, maybe I shouldn't have said yes." She said and I pulled her into a hug.
"Why?" I asked her as I left one arm around her; I wanted to hold her close.
"He doesn't seem happy about my tattoo and I don't know, maybe I really am just a commitment phob." She said and I laughed at her.
"Jodi, do you love him?" I asked her and she sighed.
"Yeah." She said.
"Then that should be enough." I said and she looked at me.
"Thanks, Phil." She said and I hugged her.
"How is Mickie going to take this?" I asked her.
"I think she will be happy." She said and I looked at her.
"Nervous to tell her?" I asked her and she sighed.
"Nope, she is the easy one; I was worried about telling two people." She said and I was confused.
"Who?" I asked her.
"You and Cena." She said and I knew why she would be worried about telling John.
"Me?" I asked her.
"Yeah, face it Phil, we have history and I value your opinion." She said and I smiled at her. She was right and I held her opinion higher than most other people.
"Well, what did you think I was going to say?" I asked her.
"Tell me I was an idiot and beg me not to marry him." She said and smiling. She was right; that's what I wanted her to do.
"Fine, don't marry him." I said and she looked at me strange.
"Fine, Phil, how do you really feel?" she asked me and I looked at her. I wanted her to be happy, but I really didn't think that she was happy.
"I just want you to be happy." I said and she pursed her lips together; she knew I was now avoiding telling her the truth.
"Fine, well, when you grow some I hope that you tell me the truth." She said and got off the couch. I groaned and went to stop her. She was running up the steps and I went to stop her, but tripped so we both ended up lying on the steps.
"Are you ok?" I asked her and I just looked at her.
"Think so." She said and I just smiled at her.
"Sorry." I said and she nodded.
"It's ok, now let me up." She said and I sighed.
"No." I said and she looked annoyed.
"Why not?" she asked me.
"Because you ran away from me." I told her.
"You wouldn't tell me the truth; you have lied about how you really feel since I told you the other day." She said and I sighed.
"Why does it matter?" I asked her.
"Because you are a friend, Phil." She said.
"So is Matt or Randy." I said and she groaned; it kind of turned me on.
"They aren't you; Phil, you are important to me. I feel closer to you then I do most people; I guess that you don't feel the same." She said and she looked sad. I hated it when I hurt or upset her.
"No, Jodi, I do feel the same; I would hate to ever lose you. I just don't want tell you the truth because I feel selfish or stupid." I said and she nodded.
She flipped us over and I watched as she got up and walked away. I hated it when she didn't talk to me; I just didn't want to be the one to ruin her happiness, if she was happy. I just laid there and I sighed as I heard her door shut.
I got up and went downstairs to work out; it always helped me to think. I was killing the punching bag and it wasn't helping at all. I gave in and picked up the phone; I needed some advice.
Mickie POV
I was at home with Kofi when my phone rang; it was Jodi.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey, I need time with my best friend tomorrow." She said and I knew that something was up.
"What's wrong, babe?" I asked her.
"I will tell you tomorrow." She said and I knew it was serious if she needed to talk to me about in person.
"Alright, we will go out tomorrow after the show. How do you like your tattoos?" I asked her.
"I love them." She said and I was glad; I knew that the scars bothered her.
I talked to her for at least an hour before we both got tired. I went to bed with Kofi was on the phone with someone.
Kofi POV
I was downstairs when Mickie started to talk to Jodi. I was watching TV when Phil called.
"Yeah." I answered.
"You gotta second?" he asked me.
"Sure, Mickie is on the phone with Jodi… wait isn't she at your house?" I asked him.
"Yeah, she is." He said.
"What did you do?" I asked him and he laughed.
"I wouldn't tell her how I really feel." He said.
"About what?" I asked him. I knew Jodi better now and I knew that she didn't get annoyed easily.
"You can't tell Mickie, but Jodi got engaged to Dave; she asked me my real opinion and I wouldn't tell her." He said.
"Wow, um, what did you say when she first told you?" I asked him.
"I told her congrats, but I didn't mean it. I mean she sat here and told me that she doesn't know what she wants to do because apparently, Angie, Dave's ex warned her about Dave." He said.
"What do you mean warned her?" I asked him.
"She told Jodi to read his rook if she wanted to know how he really was… I mean we all read the book because Dave gave us all one, because he thought we cared." He said. I remember Dave giving me a book and I just looked at him like he was crazy. I did read it though, as a bet to say that I could read it faster than Randy, I won.
"I guess it changed Jodi's opinion?" I asked him.
"I guess so, I mean she is stuck on 'what if Dave turns into that?', she must not like what she read…" he said.
"Well, I mean he basically came off a male whore… I mean we all heard the rumors about him doing plenty of people in one night, but in the book he talks about some of those moments where he cheated. I mean, sorry, but if I heard someone talk about how many times I cheated on my ex-wife or how much I liked sex; I would be leery too." I said and he sighed.
"Yeah, I know, plus it's like it's him telling her without actually saying it to her." He said.
"So… seriously, why didn't you tell her how you felt?" I asked him.
"Because, if she really is happy I don't want to ruin it, plus it feels selfish. I know that I have Amy, but Jodi is the girl that I always wanted one shot with. I just don't want to make her break up with him because of my stupid feelings that will never come true, because I am happy with Amy." He ranted.
"Then tell her as a friend." I told him. She obviously cared how he felt, because she got upset when he wouldn't tell her. He sighed and I knew that he was having an internal fight, but he needed to tell her as a friend.
"Phil, you want her to be happy, right?" I asked him after a minute.
"Yeah?" he asked me.
"Then fucking tell her! She cares about you and cares about your opinion. I mean if she asked me I am going to tell her she can do a million times better." I told him and he laughed.
"Fine, I will go talk to her." He said.
"If you don't and I find out that you didn't; I will kick your ass for her." I said and he sighed.
"Thanks, Kofi." He said.
"Bye, Phil." I said and walked into the bedroom.
I slid in the bed beside Mickie and she snuggled into me. I wanted Jodi to be happy, but I just didn't think that she was going to find it in Dave or Phil.
Phil POV
I walked to Jodi's room and knocked softly; I didn't get a response. I peeked in and she was asleep on her side. I walked over to her and sat down beside her; I could see that her cheeks were wet. I felt like an ass; she was upset now.
Dave POV
I was sitting at the condo and drinking Jack on the rocks; I had just had a minor fight with Jodi. I really didn't like her tattoo on her back and I told her that I didn't. I wasn't going to lie to her. I sighed as I thought about the fight and then she told me that she wanted to look at houses in Florida. She kept talking about wanting to start a new family. I was too old for kids… maybe I was stupid for falling in love with a 29yr old.
I fell asleep that night and got up the next morning to fly out to Houston; we had two shows in TX and then onto wherever. I couldn't wait to talk to Jodi, but I remembered her telling me that she was going out with Mickie tonight. I would probably grab a beer with Hunter and avoid Savannah.
Jodi POV
I woke up the next morning and got ready. I didn't want to talk to Phil or Dave, just Mickie. Phil got up and the ride to the airport was a tense one. We got checked in and went to wait at the gate. I sat down and Phil sat next to me; I didn't have anything to say to him.
"No." he said and I looked at him.
"What?" I asked him.
"No, I don't think you should marry him." He said and I nodded. I turned back to my book and I heard him sigh.
"Jodi, I don't want you to be unhappy; I read Dave's book and I know that him being with so many woman and even saying they were his drug of choice scares you. I think that you could do so much better." He said and I looked at him. I had tears in my eyes and I just hugged Phil.
"We got into a fight last night after I got done talking to you. I love him, but…" I was saying and Phil just held me closer to him.
"Jodi, don't worry your friends with help you figure everything out. I promise." I told her and she nodded.
We got onto the plane and I fell asleep on Phil's shoulder; I needed to talk to Mickie.
