Title: Now and Forever
I stop by to see Raul and he fixes me up. He can tell something is bothering me but I tell him I will speak to him about it later on. I walk down the hallway to the locker room I know the younger guys are sharing. When I knock John answers the door. " Hey John, is JD here I need to speak with him?" John turns around and calls out for JD. I can hear all of the guys teasing him about getting a visitor. When he gets to the door and sees that its me, he starts to look guilty. " Do you think I could speak to you for a minute?" I look at John as he leans against the doorframe, then I glance back at JD. " In private." He nods his head and follows me out of the room. I walk down the hallway till I find a quiet spot. Before I can open my mouth JD is already apologizing. " I'm really sorry about what happened in the car. I didn't mean to upset you or imply anything. It was just hard for me to believe Hunter would ever cheat on a woman like you. I know I was out of line so for that I apologize."
I lean against the wall and stare him down. " Ok let's say I forgive you for that. Care to explain to me why you lied to Hunter and I this morning?" JD looks stunned for a second but I give him credit for quickly recovering. " Ok I admit it, you caught me. I told Randy to go on without me because I did want to catch a ride with you and Hunter. I know I can learn a lot from him and I figured if I got some alone time with him then we would become friendly and I could ask for his advice in this business. I'm really sorry about lying to you guys. I will go apologize to Hunter now too." As I stare at JD I admit he does look sorry but something is still lurking behind those eyes. " Don't worry about Hunter, he doesn't need to know about this. But keep in mind next time I find out you have lied to either one of us then I will go to Hunter myself and I won't help you when he comes after you. Do we understand each other?" JD just nods his head at me and I walk away.
When I get back to my locker room Hunter is sitting on the couch. " Where did you go to get my water, the other side of the country?" I laugh at him and throw the bottle to him. " Very funny smartass, I had some business to take care of. My whole world doesn't revolve around waiting on you hand and foot." Hunter smirks at me and takes a sip of his water. " Hey you better watch your mouth or I will have to go find myself another fiancée." He leans back on the couch laughing. The rational part of my brain tells me he is just kidding around but my heart clenches up at the thought of him leaving me. Does Hunter love me as much as he says he does? I shake my head to rid myself of those thoughts. " How much time do I have before the show?" Hunter tells me I have 90 minutes. I go over and give him a quick kiss. " All right I will be back before then but I have two more things I need to go do. See you later." When I get the door I hear him call out he loves me. My hand tightens painfully on the doorknob. I call back an I love you too before I walk out of the door.
When I get to Stephanie's office I take a deep sigh and knock on the door. When I hear her tell me to come in I open the door. Her eyes meet mine at the same time. " I'm sorry." We both start to laugh as we said it at the same time. " Jess I didn't mean to upset you before. I know Hunter loves you more then life itself. I just don't want to see you get hurt. I know you don't have any doubts about the two of you." I take a seat in front of her. " I'm sorry for flipping out before too. I just don't like it when people question me. I was out of line." I look up at her. " Still friends?" She laughs and comes to hug me. " Always." She steps away and goes back to sit behind her desk. I stare at the floor for a minute. " Steph, um about what you just said, how you do know Hunter loves me?" Her mouth drops open for a second. " Jess, a blind man can see how much Hunter loves you. You can tell by the way he looks at you and the way he lights up when he speaks about you. I never thought I would see the day someone could get The Game to want to settle down but you brought him to his knees. Why now do you doubt him? If it's about what I said before I'm really sorry." I look back at her. " I don't know why I'm questioning it now and I hate that I'm doing it. He hasn't given me any reason to doubt him. I don't know what's wrong with me anymore." I start to tear up and Steph comes back over to give me another hug. " Listen, why don't you sit down with Hunter and talk this out. Don't let it bottle up inside it will only make things worse ok?"
I nod my head at her. " Yeah you're right. I will talk to him about it later on." Stephanie flips her hair over her shoulder. " Of course I'm right, I'm a McMahon." I smirk at her and leave. Once I leave her office I feel better that we made up. Now I just have one more stop to make.
