Chapter Sixty-One: Jessie's P.O.V.

The night before Wrestlemania

I brought the last box from the moving truck into Dave's house. Who knew I had so much stuff?

"That it?" Dave asked, walking up behind me.

"Yeah, finally," I sighed, looking around his now cluttered living room. "It's a good thing that you have so much extra space. I don't know what we'd do if you didn't. Now, all that's left to do is unpacking it all," I said as Dave collapsed onto the sofa.

"But that can wait until later," he smiled.

I chuckled before walking over to the sofa and lying on top of Dave.

"Doesn't it feel perfect, laying her like this in OUR house?" Dave asked.

"You bet. It can't get any better than this," I answered.

"And let's hope it doesn't get any worse."

But it would get worse. A lot worse.

The next morning, we caught a flight to New York City for Wrestlemania. We arrived there at around noon and immediately headed for Madison Square Garden.

Most of the Superstars from both Raw and Smackdown were already there, including Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero and John.

Dave and I saw the three chatting and walked over to them.

"Dave, man, how's it goin?" Eddie asked him.

"Pretty good. You gonna keep that title tonight?"

"Yeah. You better watch. You're gonna love the way it plays out, holmes."

"Speaking of titles, did you hear that Johnny-boy here is gettin' the U.S. Title tonight?" Rey asked, joining the conversation.

"John why didn't you tell me?" I questioned, looking at him with a bit of surprise.

"I didn't want to make it seem like I was bragging, so I just kept it to myself," he answered, standing up from the table. "Could I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah, sure," I told him before turning to Dave. "I'll be right back."

John made sure we were far enough away down the hall that Dave wouldn't here us."

"I heard you're moving to D.C," he said, starting the conversation.

"Yeah, I set the last box in the house last night, but don't worry. I'll still come visit you. And I'm sure Dave wouldn't mind if you came over."

"Yeah, I know. But I'm not worried about any of that. I'm worried about your relationship with Dave once you get settled in with him."

"Why would you be?"

"Because part of keeping a good relationship with someone is not keeping any secrets from them."

I knew where he was going with this and I sighed. "John…"

"No, J, listen to me," he interrupted. "You need to tell him about that scheme you had before you fell for him. He may be pissed off at first but he'll appreciate your honesty in the long run."

"But John…you see…I can't," I stammered.

"You still have the intention of breaking up Evolution, I know. I've learned to read you like a book, J. You can still do that. Tell him, he'll understand that you need to do it for ratings."

"But, I didn't want to do it for ratings. I wanted to do it because I hated them and I hated Stephanie McMahon for not even asking if I had any ideas on what should happen. I couldn't very well do anything to her without losing my job. So, I did the next best thing, I went after her husband's career the first chance I got. And in order to do that, I had to get with Dave. That's the only reason I'm with him now," I said, tears welling up in my eyes.

"That's not he reason why you're with him now! You're with him because you love him, J. And if he truly loves you, he'll put that stupid scheme behind him and continue to love you."

I nodded my head slowly. "How do you all of this?"

"I knew you were going to ask that," he said, chuckling to himself. "Let's just say I've had my share of so called "love.""

"Really? I've always wondered why you don't have a girlfriend."

"I don't have enough time to pay as much attention to a girl that I know she needs," he replied, looking at his watch. "Hey, I have to meet up with Show about our match."

"Okay. Thank you, John, for listening to me," I said, giving him a hug.

"You're welcome, anytime. Now, promise me that you'll tell him tonight."

"Okay, I promise," I said to him as he walked away.

I sighed and turned back around to go back to Dave, but as soon as I had, I was knocked back to the ground.

"Sorry about that, Jess," Paul apologized and helped me up.

"It's okay," I told him, surprised.

"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with Cena. And just so you don't feel as bad, Dave has been keeping a couple of secrets from you also."

"What? Dave wouldn't do that to me. "

"Oh really. Believe me, hon, you don't know Dave as well as you think you do. But just in case you change your mind and want to hear about these secrets, come to Evolution's locker room after you walk Dave to the curtain. Trust me, you'll be glad you did."
