Title: It's My Time
Disclaimer: As much as I wish I did I do not own the WWE or it's Superstars.
Summary: Smack down night continues.
I find Chris in the ring still talking to Rocky. Gwen seems to be nowhere in sight. Thank God for small favors. Chris and I head into the back just to relax till show time. We're hanging out in his dressing room watching the first few minutes of the show on the monitor when all of a sudden he jumps up and tells me he just remembered something important he had to do. So he tells me to go get us some drinks and meet him back in here in about a half hour. I look at him strangely but agree and go in search of some drinks.
I find the catering table and grab us both some water. I jump when I feel someone slip their hands around my waist. " So what's a pretty girl like you doing here all by herself?" I turn around and see that it's Hunter. All of a sudden I am overcome with shyness. I don't know how to act or what to say after what almost happened in my hotel room. " Um hi. I have to get these drinks back to Chris. I'll see you later ok?" I try to step around him but he won't let me pass. Instead he grabs my hand and pulls me over to the corner.
" What's the matter? It's like you can't get away from me fast enough. Did I do something wrong?" I look into his eyes, he looks so concerned. I want to tell him I just don't know how to act around him. I've never really had anyone actively pursue me before. My eyes look past his shoulders and I pull my hand away from his when I see Miss Adams rounding the corner and Diana is following her. The last thing I need is to be caught talking to Hunter. Shit they've spotted us. Diana comes over and practically plasters herself next to Hunter. " There you are. I've been looking for you everywhere. You have to head out to the ring in a few minutes. And I know you need to get all oiled up. I'm more then willing to do it for you." She doesn't notice it but I do. The more she presses against Hunter the more he tries to cringe away.
I t urn when I feel a tap on my shoulder. " Now Miss Price what are you doing here shouldn't you be with your client? I thought I had warned you about socializing with the Superstars?" She raises her eyebrow at me in question. I hate to admit it but she's right. I'm not supposed to be so friendly with the Superstars. And just seconds ago I had Hunter's hand on me and it had nothing to do with business. " You're right Miss Adams. I had just come over here to get some drinks for Chris, I mean Mr. Jericho and I ended up talking to Hunter. I better get these drinks back. It won't happen again." She looks shocked that I didn't give her a smart mouth answer. I was tempted to but I bit my tongue. I cast my eyes downward and walk back to Chris's locker room. I don't even glance back at Hunter.
When I get back the sight of Chris almost bouncing off the walls greets me. He runs over and pulls me to the couch. " Are you sitting down?" I give him a look that says duh. " Ok baby doll get ready because I have some news that's really going to flip your lid ok? Are you ready?" I grab his hands trying to calm him down. " Alright. The reason I ran out of here before was because I almost missed my appointment with Vince. After being in the ring today with you I felt that I had to talk to him. And after some gently persuading by yours truly he has agreed to let you start formal training. What I didn't tell you was that today when we were in the ring I had asked Pat Patterson to come watch us and he thought you had real potential. So we both spoke to Vince and now you start training next week" He looks at me to see my reaction.
I stand up and pace around the room for a minute. I turn back towards him and jump on top of him on the couch. " Oh my god. I can't believe this. It's so unbelievable. I could become a Superstar sooner then I thought. This is so great. I don't know how to thank you." He's just lying there laughing at me. I must be acting like a crazy person. He sits up. " Well Jess there's one more thing I forgot to mention. Vince already has a storyline planned for you. You will get to become my very pretty "on-air" girlfriend. What do you think about that?" I get up and sit in his lap. " I think I can manage to pretend I find you marginally attractive. But will I have to kiss you?" He just shakes his head. " Alright I guess I could put myself through the torture of kissing you if it means I get to be on TV." I let out a squeal and proceed to run around the room for a few minutes in complete joy. I stop running and look at him. " Can I go tell Lita and the Hardys, oh and I want to go tell Mark too. Can I pretty pretty please?" He laughs and pushes me out of the door. " Just be back in time for when I have to go out there ok?"
I run down the hall and bang on the Hardy's locker room. Jeff opens the door. I jump on him and wrap my legs around his waist. " Guess what Jeffie? I start training next week. Isn't that great? I'm so happy." I hear a scream and before I know it Lita has me in a big hug. Jeff lets me down and Lita and I start to dance around the room. " This is so great. Maybe I can get Vince to put you and me in tag matches together. Jess I'm so happy for you. " Matt comes over and hugs me too. We make plans to go celebrate later in the week. I wave goodbye and run out of the door in search of Mark.
I knock on his locker room and Alexia answers. " Can I help you?" God what a bitch.
" Yes Alexia you can. Go fetch Mark for me. Thanks ever so much." She just looks at me. " He's not here right now so go away." She starts to slam the down shut on me when a hand from inside opens the door. " Hi Mark. Glad to see you are back from where ever you just came from. Can I come in I have something I want to tell you?" He opens the door and lets me walk in. He turns back to Alexia. " Your free for the rest of the night so go find someone else to bother. I don't want to see your face unless I absolutely have to. Got it? Oh and if you keep it up with this attitude of yours I will have to speak to you boss and I don't think you would enjoy that Darlin now would you?" She makes a huffing noise and grabs her purse and leaves. Mark slams the door. " Thank God she's gone. I've always been against violence against women but she was really trying my patience. Now little lady what do you have to tell me?"
" Ok this is pretty big. I got Chris to agree to train with me in the ring today. What I didn't know was that he got Pat Patterson to watch us. Then they both had a meaning with Vince. Vince has agreed to let me start training. And when he thinks I'm good enough he already has a storyline planned for me. I will be Chris's girlfriend. Isn't that great?" Mark smiles at me and nods. " That's it? I don't even get a hug. This is the biggest news of my life and all I get is a nod." He starts to laugh and pulls me into a hug. " Kevin was right you are a little spitfire aren't you? If that whole storyline with Chris doesn't work out you could always become my little American bad ass." There's a knock at the door. A crewman tells Mark he is on in five minutes. I walk with him to his bike.
" Be careful out there dead man ok? I'll see you later." He waves as I walk away.
I go back to Chris's locker room and grab my cell phone. I dial Erica's number. She answers on the third ring. " Hello?" I smile hearing her voice makes me miss her. " Hey Erica it's me." " Me who?" " Ha ha very funny. I forgot how funny you are." " Yeah ok so tell me what's going on. How is it? Are all the guys as gorgeous in person as they are on TV? Did you get into a fight with anyone yet? Have you hooked up with anyone?" I tell her to calm down and for the next 45 minutes I tell her about the past few days. I'm still laughing when I hang up the phone. She told me that if she was in my shoes and Hunter almost kissed her then she would of just ripped his clothes off and had her way with him right then and there. She wouldn't have cared if the hotel was burning down around them. Same old Erica. Nothing ever changes. I walk back out into the backstage area and walk over to Chris. His match is the main event for the night so I wish him luck and tell him I will go pack up his stuff so we can head back to the hotel right after since we have a early morning flight.
After the show everyone goes back to the hotel because of the early morning flight. I tell Chris I will see him bright and early the next morning down in the lobby at 6. His room is on the floor above mine so I get off the elevator and walk down the hall towards my room. I see someone sitting down on the floor in front of my door and as I get closer I groan. He scrambles to get up as I open my door. I walk in and turn back towards him. " Are you going to stand out in the hall way all night or are you going to come in Hunter?"
