Chapter 23

-Mandy's POV

It took a lot of faith to believe what Adam had said, but I did. I probably shouldn't have, but I wanted to. Believing it meant that things would go back to normal. And things did go back to normal for a while. The pills weren't even an issue anymore. The next week Smackdown was in Nashville and everyone was looking forward to getting it over with because we had the weekend off. Torrie and I had a match against each other there which was great because we worked really well together in the ring. Afterward, we were both just sitting around the locker room. Torrie was sitting on her vanity counter reading a magazine and I was busy getting all of my stuff together when my cell phone rang. It was Adam.

"Mandy, I have a favor to ask...can you watch Danny for me tomorrow night?" I was surprised. Usually he would call Matt for that.

"Sure, what's going on?" I asked. He hesitated.

"Matt and Amy are going back to North Carolina after tonight and I have a date with Torrie," he replied. I couldn't believe this.

"Okay, you want me to watch your daughter while you take Torrie out on a date?" I needed to make sure I understood this correctly.

"Come on Mandy, I didn't mean date. It's a public appearance. We have to do it," Adam replied. I looked over at Torrie who was eavesdropping and laughing to herself.

"Yeah, okay. I'll be there," I sighed. After I hung up, Torrie let out a very sickening laugh. "You find this funny?"

"You are so jealous aren't you?" she asked. I shot her an evil look. "I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you. He'll probably end up talking about you the whole time like he always does. It's so boring." Thanks Tor, glad to know I'm boring.

"Ha ha, you are so funny," I stated not at all amused. I was however, interested in the fact that I was always on his mind. "So he talks about me a lot?"

"Yeah, he's so infatuated with you. He asks all kinds of questions about you," She replied but I cut her off.

"Like what?"

"All kinds of stuff. What you like, what you don't like, if you ever talk about him...that stuff," She insisted. I laughed. I never realized how much time Torrie and Adam must have spent together.

The next night I packed my bag for the next show because we had to leave early the next morning. I sat it on my bed and headed to Adam's. When he answered the door I was so taken back by his appearance. He was wearing a light blue shirt that was just tight enough to show off how muscular he really was, and his hair was tied back in a lose ponytail. I have to admit I was really jealous that it was Torrie going out with him instead of me. He kissed Danny on the forehead and me on the cheek and said that he would be back late. Once he was gone, Danny grabbed my hand and took me up to her room to play.

"Mandy?" she started, "Are you and Daddy boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked. I laughed to myself. Looking up at her, I smiled.

"I think so. Why do you ask?"

"Because, I like you, and daddy told grandma that he was in love!"
