Title: It's My Time

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own the WWE or its Superstars.

Hours later I am at the arena getting ready for Smackdown. Once I got back to Mark's room this morning I didn't mention to him what I saw. I still think I'm in denial and if I talk about it out loud with someone then I am admitting its true. Thankfully Mark kept his distance this morning and didn't push me to talk. So now I'm getting ready for the Smackdown tapings. Luckily I've been able to avoid everyone this afternoon but my alone time is about to end. I have to go find Chris to go over tonight's script. I stick my head out of my locker room to make sure the coast is clear. When I see that it is I start down the hallway in the direction of Chris's room.

I knock on the door and wait for him to give me the ok to come in. I open the door and step inside. " Hey Chris, Um before we start talking about tonight I guess we should talk about what happened last night. Is that ok?" He grabs my hand and leads me over to the couch. " Jess before you start to say anything else I need to get something off my chest. Last night was really hard for me. Lately I've been having these feelings for you and I didn't know how to handle them. I'm not even sure what they are. Then last night we pretty much had to go at it on top of Steph's desk. I know you're with Hunter and I respect that. I also want to promise you that I will not use our current storyline to push myself on you, that's not my style all right. I guess that's all I have to say."

I sit there staring at him for a minute taking it all in. Yes part of me thought Chris was maybe attracted to me but I didn't realize he had feelings for me too. I admit when Chris kissed me last night I felt something but I also know it didn't feel anything like when Hunter kisses me. The thought of him still brings on that fresh wave of hurt and betrayal. " Chris I appreciate your honesty with me. I'm going to be upfront with you as of last night Hunter and I are no longer a couple. I'm not looking for a relationship right now, not saying that somewhere down the line I may change my mind but right now I want to be on my own. I hope you understand." Chris pulls me into a hug. " I know you aren't looking for a boyfriend right now but how about just having a friend?" I smile at him grateful for him being understanding. " Well a girl can never have too many friends. With that said let's go over what we need to do tonight."

About an hour after I entered Chris's room I step out. I can't hide out in there all night. Even though the thought is very tempting. I walk down the hallway not really paying much attention to where I am going till I bump into something. When I look up I realize I've walked into Hunter. This is just great. I just stare into his eyes not knowing what to say. I want to yell, scream, hit, and cry but what right do I have? I broke up with him and he broke my heart. Fair trade huh? " Jessica we need to talk. Something happened last night and I want you to hear about it from me first." Just as I am about to tell him I already know his dirty little secret Alexia walks up to us and kisses Hunter on the cheek. " Hello lover, I've been looking for you everywhere." Hunter quickly glances at me and judging by the look in his eyes I can tell he knows I've figured out the truth.

Hunter pushes Alexia away from him and tells her to get out of his sight. Of course never to be out done Alexia agrees to leave but not before leaving with a parting comment. " Jessica sweetheart, I guess we both know the truth now, he really is that damn good." Hunter grabs me as I lunge for her. I swear I've never wanted to hurt anyone as much as I want to hurt her right now. " Damn it Hunter let me go. She's had this coming to her for such a long time. Why the hell are you holding me back, oh wait, you aren't protecting me, you're protecting her, your new lady love right?" I let out a bitter laugh, trying to conceal my hurt. I feel Hunter's hands tighten up on me. " Don't Jess, don't sink to her level. If you hit her she will get what she has always wanted and that's you gone. As for your second comment she is not my new ladylove, as you like to call her. I admit we slept together last night but you don't understand the circumstances."

In that one single moment my heart completely shattered. He admitted it he slept with her. Should I be surprised? She is probably more experienced then me; she is more beautiful and sexy then me and definitely a lot less complicated then me. I feel the tears start to well up and I blink my eyes to make them go away. I refuse to start pitying myself just because he picked someone else. " Why Hunter, explain to me why her?" As he opens his mouth to answer me I put my hand over his lips. " Don't, I thought I wanted to know the truth but honestly right now I don't think I can handle it. Maybe another day, another time I will be strong enough but not right now." I stand there trying to compose myself. For a split second I thought I saw some kind of emotion run across his eyes but as I stare at them now they look completely expressionless. Fine he wants to pretend all of this is no big deal then I refuse to give him the satisfaction of letting him see me upset.

"Besides Hunter you don't owe me an explanation to begin with. I broke up with you, last night you were a free agent. And if I choose to invite someone else into my bed I shouldn't expect you to become angry with me." There that should show him that I could give a rat's ass what or who he does.

Hunter releases me and takes a step back. " Is that the way you want to play it Jessica? That's fine, because if you really think about it we were only together a few weeks. It's not like we had a real commitment. Besides at least now we can both focus on our careers, that's the most important thing right? Just remember if you ever need someone to warm your bed on a cold lonely night you have my number ok? See ya around kid." And just like that he walks away from me. I want to scream out to him that it always meant something to me. I want him to come back and take me into his arms and tell me he loves me and only me. How could he stand here and tell me it was nothing between us? Then again I just did the same exact thing to him. I was pretending but was he? As I watch him walk down the hallway I can't help but feel he wasn't being totally honest with me a minute ago.
