Okay, before we get on to the next chapter, i got some things to say about Raw tonight. #1: Why is Y2J being such an assclown and beating the crap outta John all of the time? Doesn't he have a concert to be at so he doesn't have to be on Raw? #2: What happened to Dave was a complete travesty! If stupid Ric Flair wouldn't have gotten into the ring, then Dave would have seen the pedigree coming and conquered it. But no, Dave was too busy killing Flair AGAIN to notice stupid Trips behind him! GRRR! It makes me so mad! Okay, I'm done ranting and raving. Just one final thought onthe matter: The Beast better be unleashed again this Sunday at Vengeance! On with the next chapter:

Chapter Seventy-Six: Dave's P.O.V.

I jumped slightly from the leather couch in Evolution's locker room, as my cell phone wet off in my back pocket. I looked around, making sure that the room was empty before I took it out and flipped it open. I went immediately to my inbox and read the message. It was from Jessie. I stared at the number and it was indeed her cell number.

She wanted to talk. Right after the show. This was incredible! But unfortunately, I had to suppress my excitement as to not let on to Paul and Ric that something good actually happened to me. I got up from the couch and walked down the halls, thinking of what I was going to say to her. She was giving me another chance; I couldn't afford to screw it up.

I stopped walking when I heard Adam and Jason Reso talking.

"So, is Jess coming clubbing with us tonight?" Jason asked.

"No, she says she has a whole bunch of things to work out for Vengeance this Sunday and that she needs space to do it," Adam replied, disappointment in his voice.

"She works extremely hard. No wonder she had the breakdown she did the other night."

"I know. But, between you and me, Jay. I don't think it was her job that caused that. Dave was at that club, too."

"You think that she still has feelings for him?"

"I don't know. But I hope she doesn't because someday soon, I'm going to ask her to marry me."

My jaw dropped in shock. He was moving really fast with her, which meant that I needed to get Jessie back tonight.

"Are you serious? That's great, man," Jay told him. "But you've only been going out with her for like two months. Isn't it a bit soon?"

"Jay, I've been friends with her for over two years, I think I know her well enough to ask her to marry me."

"Alright, Adam. Whatever you want to do, you know I'll support you in it."

"Yeah, I know. Well, I've got a match that I have to get ready for, so I guess I'll meet you after the show."

"Sure thing," Jason replied, as the two went their separate ways.

As soon as my match was over, I went straight to Evolution's locker room to change. Fortunately, neither Ric nor Paul were there…until I was ready to leave.

"Whoa, big man. What puts you in such a big hurry?" Paul asked as I began to walk out of the door, but he blocked it.

"Gotta get back to the hotel," I answered quickly.

"Why do you have to do that?"

"What is this? Twenty questions? I have some business to take care of," I replied, getting aggravated.

"Business? With a woman, I presume," Ric cut in.

I decided to go along with it. After all, I was going to talk to Jessie and she was, indeed a woman. "You know it. I don't want to keep her waiting any longer than she already has."

"Alright, big man. I guess we could let you off on that one," Paul smiled and let me leave.

I smiled brightly as I walked down the hallway, out to the parking lot and out to my rental. The grin never left my face as I drove as fast as the law would allow to the hotel. I checked the message once more to make sure I was in front of the right door. Room 315.

I took a deep breath before knocking. A few seconds later I heard the door knob turn and there she was, in front of me. Looking as beautiful as ever.

"Jessie," I breathed softly.

"Come on in," she told me. "We have a lot to talk about."
