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

"Come one in. We have a lot to talk about," I told Dave and let him in.

"Are you sure this is the right place to be having this talk?" he asked, sitting on the bed.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you share a room with Adam, don't you?"

"Yeah, but if we're just talking it shouldn't matter, should it?" I questioned, sitting next to him.

There was an uncomfortable silence between us for a moment or so. Probably because neither of us knew how to start the conversation. I eventually got enough nerve and spoke up."

"Just so you know, I never cheated on you with John. He's just a really good friend. Nothing more."

"And I never used you for sex, Jessie. I don't know who you got that information from, but it's one hundred percent bogus."

"Paul told me."

"What?"

"At Wrestlemania, John and I were talking and I had told him what I was doing to you and John told me that I had to tell you. Well, after he left, Paul came up to me after listening to our whole conversation and said that you had some secrets of your own. So, I went to Evolution's locker room during your match and he told me all of that."

"That son of a bitch! He's a fucking liar!" Dave yelled.

"I know, Dave, but this isn't about Paul. It's about us."

He took a deep breath and nodded.

"Now, I don't know about you, but these past three months have been complete hell for me. I've missed you so much. Every time I would wake up next to Adam, I'd visualize that it was you. And, you know, when Adam first told me of his stupid plan to break up Evolution, I was all for it. Because I never expected to fall in love with you, but I did. And now, I almost want to think him for asking me to do that because if he hadn't, I never would've gone out on a date with you."

"I hope you know that I would've kept on trying until you said yes," he smiled slightly.

"I know. And I want you to know that I still love you."

"Then why are you with Copeland?"

"John asked me that exact same question and I'm going to tell you the same thing that I told him. Adam supported me through our break up. He had feelings for me even though I treated him like shit. So when he asked me out, I felt obligated to say yes. But I never have and never will love him the way that I love you," I finished, tears welling up in my eyes and beginning to fall.

Dave took his thumb and brushed them away. "Don't cry baby, please." He said as I nodded before he began to speak. "So far this conversation has been pretty one sided. Now, it's my turn. From the moment you left Evolution's locker room that night, I wanted you back. I was miserable. And you could tell it. I was half-assing my matches, I didn't want to show up at any of the events. Hell, half the time I didn't even want to work out. Then, a couple days after we broke up, Randy started to come and get your stuff. I would try and get any bit of information out of him that I could, but he would hardly tell me anything. He seemed to believe that I didn't care about you at all and that I was only trying to stir up trouble."

"And you can have Adam to thank for that. How he and Randy got so close so fast, is beyond me. But I guess they had a common goal: to keep you from hurting me."

"And I understand that. I also understand that Randy was mad at me because I didn't fully support his decision to want to leave Evolution. But what I don't get is why Randy is so pissed off at me for doing this to you, when he was in on the plan, too."

"He was?" I asked, surprised.

"Yeah, that's why he came to you and told you to go out with me."

"Then he's just as much to blame as you are."

"Kinda, he wasn't in on it as much. Paul was the mastermind and I was his puppet, to say the least. But anyway, the first time I asked you out was for me and only me, not for Evolution. The point is, Jessie, I love you. And I didn't mean to hurt you. Especially the other night at the club. That was all Paul and Ric's idea."

"Afterwards, I thought it probably was. You never were like them."

"And I never will be," he said and pulled me towards him. "From now on, I put you first, not Evolution."

And that's when it happened. He kissed me and I kissed him back.

Soon, clothes were thrown across the floor and we were in each other's arms. Dave pulled his lips away from mine and looked at me as I stared back into his dark eyes.

"You are more beautiful than I can ever remember, which was pretty damn beautiful."

I smiled as I felt my cheeks start to warm from blushing. His lips captured mine once again. We were so involved with each other that we didn't even hear the door open.
