"I just don't know if I can conduct myself on this case the way I should conduct myself on this case." Jami said, taking another long drink from her cocktail.

"Jami, that doesn't even sound like you." her best friend, April chuckled as she slammed the last of drink down. "Besides, what could this guy possibly do to you to get your panties all in a bunch? He's just a guy."

Jami snorted, before rolling her eyes. It had been yet another long week and while for the most part it was her normal routine and schedule with patients, the one case that nagged and pulled at her of course, was the one and only, Joe Anoa'i.

His appointments were going well, and the medication he opted for as his treatment was finally regimented into his schedule, so things were on the up and up from the medical standpoint. However, what started as harmless flirting here and there was up and down, just like a rollercoaster.

Sure, it was all probably harmless enough to him and it probably meant even less to him, but Jami had these odd feelings stirring deep within her with every smirk or chuckle, with every touch or even when he was within feet of her in the same room. She was trying her hardest to keep things at a professional level, like she did with every other patient. Maybe a friendly tone was the norm, but with Joe, she could see the lines becoming blurred very easily, at least for her.

"Ape, you have no idea. To some he may be, but I'm telling you! Since the divorce, I have felt nothing for anyone, and it's been how long?" she asked, shaking her head. "I'm not saying I'm in love or anything, but simply feeling anything for anyone is… is…." she started, but her thoughts became muddled and she trailed off.

"Feeling is ok, Jami." April quickly recovered for her. "That is human nature. It's just no one has struck your attention since your divorce, but I'll be honest. I'm kinda glad someone has come along and made you feel something…. anything, because I was really beginning to not only wonder, but worry, too."

"I guess no one has peaked my interest, and honestly, I don't know why Joe does, either." she said, feeling the frustration build within her. "He makes me so angry sometimes, like how we first met. And then, along comes karma and smacks me in the face."

"Well, maybe you were a little too hard on him, honey." April laughed.

"No, he was an asshole." Jami shot back. "Well, at least I thought he was an asshole. Hell, I don't know. It was probably me having a bad day and it was innocent enough, ya know?"

"Yeah, probably so. You can jump to conclusions sometimes." April remarked. "And, imagine what Joe must have thought about this little 5 foot nothing spouting off like that." she finished, leaning back and laughing.

"So, you take his side and you've never even met him!" Jami said, catching her friends' eye and winking. "Yeah, yeah. I know."

"Well, honestly what if he does feel something, too? I mean, it could happen. Why else would he be kissing your cheek and whispering sweet nothings in your ear?" April shrugged.

"It wasn't sweet nothings. He was simply saying he wanted to start the treatment we had discussed." Jami fired back.

"Oh, yes. I will make a note that the next time I see one of my patient's, I'll whisper their BP and stats in their ear." April said sarcastically. "Can you see AJ now? He'd throw a fit."

"Actually, I do see AJ now." Jami said, pointing her finger past April. "Look whose here."

April turned in her chair and noticed her husband entering the sports bar. She jumped to her feet and squealed, running to the smiling man whose arms were outstretched. Jami watched as the two embraced and for a small second, she was slightly jealous. April and AJ had been together for what seemed like forever and they both were very dear friends of hers. They had been there for the ups and downs of her marriage as well as the breakup and the divorce. It hadn't been easy on she or her kids, but she was so very lucky to have these two in her life because they immediately came to her side whenever she needed anything.

"Hey, Jami. How's it shakin'?" AJ asked, quickly hugging Jami, his usual smile plastered on his face.

"It's shakin', man. I think your wife is trying to get me drunk." Jami responded, with a small smile of her own. "No, I'm having a great time. After the week I've had, I needed this, for sure."

"So, babe, what are you doing here?" April asked AJ, as they made their way back to their table.

"Well, I wasn't going to do anything but a guy from work called and asked if we could catch a bite to eat. I made sure it was okay with the nanny and decided to come out. I didn't know this is where you two were going though." AJ responded, kissing his wife on the forehead.

"Oh, I thought I told you. I'm sorry." April said. "So, who is your friend? Is he single or married? Any kids?" April quick shot her questions, looking directly at Jami with a smirk.

"Whoa! Slow down! Are you going to make a dating profile for him or something or is it you whose interested?" AJ said, with a small, yet playful pout forming on his lips.

"Nah, he couldn't keep up." she said, nudging her husband in the side. "I was asking for our very single friend seated across from us."

"Ape, I appreciate it, but I'm capable of getting a date if I wanted to. I'm just…." Jami said, taking a small sip from her glass. "….not ready."

"He is single though. He just recently went on hiatus for a bit from work for personal reasons, but he's a really good guy." AJ responded.

"Oh, who is it?" April asked.

"You remember Joe, right?" AJ asked. "I mean, Roman." he said, correcting himself, knowing full well his wife was more acquainted with his colleagues by their personas as opposed to their actual birth names.

"Ah, Roman Reigns. Yes, I do know who you're talking about now." she replied, looking in Jami's direction again.

Jami stared past both her friends at the door to the establishment. She felt the heat build in her cheeks, her palms becoming sweaty and for a moment she wasn't sure if it was from the alcohol or the man who had just entered the sports bar.

"Um, AJ…" Jami started, her eyes never leaving the doorway. "…by chance, is your friends name Joe Anoa'i?"

"Yeah, it is." he answered her, a bit of shock evident with his response.

April and AJ both turned slowly to the direction of where Jami's gaze was held. April instantly figured the entire scenario out and leaned back in her chair in a fit of laughter. AJ was clearly still slightly confused. But, for Jami, and Joe, too their eyes locked and that stare hadn't been broken. Joe finally got a smile across his face and walked towards the table.

"AJ, April." Joe said, vocally acknowledging them both, but still, his eyes still locked with Jami's. "And, what do we have here?"

"Oh, um, Joe, this is our friend…." AJ started, before he was cut off by Joe.

"Jami. Yes, I know who she is." Joe retorted, a smile playing on his features, shaking his head knowingly.

"How the hell…." AJ started, before his wife grabbed his hand leading him towards the bar area.

"Let' just let these two talk for a few, ok, babe?" April said, before leaning into Jami.

"You ok?" she asked, as Jami slowly shook her head. "Ok. We'll be right over at the bar if you need me."

"Ooo… ok." Jami stuttered on her words.

Well, shit, Jami thought.
