Chapter Fifteen: Jessica's P.O.V.

I was sitting in a chair with my headphones on writing random ideas in a notebook, when suddenly I felt a pair of strong arms around me. I nearly jumped out of my skin,

"Chill out, Jess. It's just me," Dave laughed.

"Oh my God, Dave! You scared me to death! Don't do that ever again!" I yelled, taking off my headphones.

"I must've made you mad. Your accent came out a little bit," he said, still chuckling. "So what are you doing here?"

"I kinda missed my flight this morning, so now I have to wait until the 2:00 one."

"Awesome. That's the one we've got," he replied, sitting beside me.

"Then why are you here so early?"

"You see, Randy and I have a thing for hanging out at airports for hours on end," he told me, causing me to laugh. "Actually, Randy read the times wrong so we're here for a good two more hours."

I closed my notebook and put it and my CD player into my carry on bag.

"Was that what's happening Monday?" he asked, indicating my notebook.

"No, that's just ideas that I might use later on."

"So what is happening on Raw?"

"You and Ric have a tag title match against Edge and Chris Benoit," I told him hesitantly.

"Let me guess, we lose." He could obviously hear the cautiousness in my voice.

"But if it raises ratings, I have to do it, Dave. It's not because I want you to lose."

"I know you don't, Jessie. And for you to keep the ratings up, you have to do whatever it takes," he said understandingly.

"How's Flair gonna take it?"

"Don't worry about him. I'll take care of it. Let's not talk about this anymore. How about you come sit with Randy an me?"

"I don't know," I said, cautiously, the only thing coming to mind was the last conversation I had with Randy Orton.

"He's not as bad as he seems," Dave said as if he were reading my mind.

"I know. I just… don't…" I said, unable to think of a good reason for me not to sit with Randy.

"Well, since you are incapable of making a good enough excuse, then there's no way I'm taking no for an answer," he smiled, picking up my luggage.

This was going to be interesting.
