Chapter Twenty-Seven: Jessica's P.O.V.

I walked slowly to my hotel room, thinking about Dave and what had gone on between him and Randy earlier. I couldn't believe how happy Adam was about the whole situation. As a matter of fact, he dropped me off at the hotel before heading to the arena to find out more. I swore he was worse than most women.

I had no sooner stepped in my hotel room when my cell phone rang. I looked at the Caller ID and recognized it as Dave's cell. I hurriedly opened it and answered.

"What happened?" I asked, immediately.

"Love the greeting," Dave said, sarcastically.

"Who cares about the greeting? Tell me what happened."

"Randy and I got into a fight. Not a big surprise, really, after all the arguments we've been in lately."

"How much trouble are you in?"

"Three weeks suspension without pay."

"Oh God, Dave."

"Don't worry about it, Jess. I was thinking of taking some vacation time anyway," he laughed. "Anyway, I was wondering if you'd want to come spend my suspension with me at my house in D.C. I mean you don't have to answer right now. It doesn't start until after RAW."

"I'll think about it," I answered but I inside I wasn't even considering the option of saying no.

"Fair enough. So would you want to catch a movie tonight?"

"Actually I was just thinking about hanging out in my hotel room. But you're welcome to join me."

"That sounds cool. What time?"

"Any time you want."

"Okay, give me an hour and I'll be there."

"See you then," I said and hung up. That's when I looked around the room and noticed that it was a mess and started to clean.

It had been nearly an hour since I'd hung up with Dave when there was a knock on the door.

"Hey," I said, expecting to see Evolution's Animal standing in front of me…but it wasn't. "Adam, what are you doing here?"

"Jess, there's something I think you really should know," he told me as I walked out into the hallway.

"Well, hurry up. Dave's going to be here any minute now."

"He's coming here? For what?"

"We're just gonna sit around and watch some movies, maybe order pizza. Why?"

"Well, it's just that you've been spending a lot of time with him and I…just…" he said, trailing off.

"Adam, I don't have time for this. Say what you need to and leave," I said, getting impatient. He seemed kind of taken aback by this.

"What's up with you?"

"Nothing. It's just that Dave will be here in like two minutes and if you want this plan to work, then you can't be here. That's what you want, isn't it?"

He scoffed and threw his hands in the air. "Forget it, maybe I'll tell you later."

"Thanks for wasting my time," I responded.

He slowly shook his head and walked down the hall without saying another word. I stood there thinking for a few minutes and couldn't help but feel that he didn't deserve any of that but the thought was immediately forgotten when a pair of arms wrapped around my waist.
