Chapter 16

-Mandy's POV

One week later, we all had some time off because Raw was presenting a pay-per-view. Everyone, of course, went home. I hadn't talked to Adam or seen Danny since the Salt Lake City show. Despite having two houses, Missy had sweet-talked me into coming with her to Tampa. Not to mention the fact that Adam lived there too.

"What do you want to do today?" Missy asked flipping through a magazine. I joined her on the couch and scratched my head.

"I don't know," I replied. I was still a bit mad at her since the Charlie incident. After all, she was the one who had pressured me to go out with him.

"Mandy, how many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry? If I had known he was like that I never would have made you go with him. Besides, Brock kicked him out of his locker room and now he has to room with Albert," Missy laughed. I smiled myself. It was well known that Albert wasn't exactly the most hygienic person around. Even though he was a nice guy, it definitely was a punishment to have to share a locker room with the man.

"I know, but Adam defended me and even now you still want me to forget him," I announced. She put down her magazine and turned to me.

"I'm not telling you to forget him. He's shown his true intentions. I just don't like the type of people he associates himself with," Missy assured. I shook my head.

"I'm not saying that they are the best people, but I'm not with them, I'm with Adam," I replied. She grabbed my hand causing me to look up at her face. I saw a look of concern.

"Mandy, I think they are a package deal," She sighed.

"I've been seeing Adam for a few weeks now and never once have I come into contact with them while on a date," I protested.

"Just don't get messed up in their shit," She insisted, "that's all I ask."

"In case you have forgotten, you are the one who is easily influenced. Do I have to remind you of your gambling addiction?" I shot back. Truthfully, I was surprised at the fact that she would even assume that I would take drugs. I had always been completely against the stuff myself.

"I hardly see playing carnival games a gambling addiction," She announced. I laughed, yeah, playing carnival games until you've spent every penny you have. She went back to reading her magazine. Just then, my cell rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Mandy, its Adam," He responded.

"Oh hi. What's up?" I asked. Missy perked up a bit and I mouthed the word Adam to her and she rolled her eyes and continued reading.

"Well, I kinda need your help with something...."
