Okay, everybody, I finally got back from Canada at 5:30 this morning after getting stuck in a blizzard for two and a half hours in Pennsylvania. But that just gave me more time to write more. I did have my parents tape Wrestlemania 21 and I have to say it was absolutely amazing! Adam, Dave and John all won! Unfortunately Randy didn't but seriously, who expected him to. Anyway on with the story.

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

I woke up the next morning, cradled in Dave's arms. I had never felt as comfortable as I did when he was holding me. I opened my eyes and noticed I was facing his bare chest. 'Is this man built or what?' I thought to myself.

I remember after Dave had agreed to stay with me for the next couple of days, he called to room service and ordered some champagne. We kind of got a little carried away with that.

That's when realization hit. If he had his shirt off, what else was also off? Did something happen the night before that I didn't remember?

I looked under the covers, hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief as I saw that I still had on my pajamas and Dave had on a pair of boxers. I couldn't help but notice that they had 'Sexy Beast' written all over them.

I chuckled to myself and laid my head back down on the pillow.

"Do you find something funny?" Dave asked, his eyes still closed.

"Just the fact that you think of yourself as a sexy beast."

"Two questions for you Jess," he smiled and finally opened his eyes. "One, doesn't everyone think I'm a sexy beast?"

"At least the majority of your female fans."

"And, two, why were you looking at my boxers?"

I didn't know how to answer him. I didn't want to offend him by saying that I was afraid that we had gotten out of control and had sex. Luckily, I didn't have to answer due to the phone ringing. I reached over to the nightstand and picked up the phone.

"Jess, it's Adam. I was hoping we'd get a chance to talk, since you decided you wanted to blow me off for Evolution's asshole."

"Good morning to you too, Adam," I responded.

"Well, Jess, how do you expect me to react? Last night you didn't want anything to do with me, someone who's been there for you fro two years, because you had some stupid plans with that jackass."

"Adam, seriously, shut up!"

"He's still there, isn't he?"

I didn't answer.

"Jess, when you come back to reality and figure out that Dave Batista doesn't give a damn about you and you are only with him to tear Evolution apart, give me a call because until then, I don't want anything to do with you if this is how you are going to act," he said and hung up.

I put the phone back on the hook as tears welled up in my eyes.

"Bad conversation?" Dave questioned. I had almost forgotten that he was there.

"Yeah, but it's no big deal," I told him.

"Jess, you're about ready to cry. If it's doing that to you, it has to be a big deal. Now, what's going on?"

"Adam's just upset with me. I don't know what the hell his problem is."

"Does it have to do with me being around you all the time now?"

I stayed silent. I didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him yes but I also didn't want to lie to him.

"Jessie, come on, answer me."

"Yeah, it does. Adam doesn't think that you're the right person for me to be around," I replied and couldn't help think that if that was the reason for the way he was acting, why he proposed this whole idea in the first place. I shrugged the thought off and continued. "Obviously what he doesn't realize is that I'm a grown woman and that I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself."

"The few times I've been around Copeland, I've noticed that he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed," Dave told me. "So does he think he's your protector or something?"

"I guess so. More of like a big brother figure but sometimes he gets a little too overprotective."

"Well, I can see his point. I wouldn't want you to ever get hurt again. I mean, after hearing about your past anyone would be like that."

"Dave…you're the only one that I've ever told about that. I haven't even told Adam."

"I can't believe you only told me. I've only known you for like five days and I know more about you that you're best friend of two years."

"Some how, Dave, you've opened me up. Maybe it's by telling me how beautiful you think I am and showering me with compliments. But by doing all of that, you've really built up my self-esteem. And I really, really appreciate it. Adam just doesn't realize that you've helped me open up."

"Well, he's just going to have to suck it up and move on because we're rooming together now."

"I know, I just wonder how he's going to react when he finds out that I'm going to be with you for three weeks."
