Chapter 18
Author's note- Thank you to my reviewers. I hope everyone enjoyed my pick for the guy.
The whole wrestling world was buzzing about the fact that Christian had been the one attacking Jake. The story was so big even Edge had referenced it on Monday night Raw saying when it comes to titles his family does what ever it takes to get them. Jake had gone into training the day after Impact. Going so far as to paste a picture of Christian on to the heavy bag he would work out on.
Meanwhile Christian had stayed off the raider in the few days since Impact. TNA management didn't know what to make of the situation. They knew they had contractual obligated to give Christian the title match but they won't sure they were going to keep Jake and Christian apart until then. Because everyone knew Jake was out for blood.
Jake was in the small backyard behind his house deep in thought. "Lousy SOB Christian. When I get my hands on him he is going to wish he had stayed with Vince," Jake thinks. Traci comes out and taps him on the back. "Jake you need get going so you can make it to that autograph signing," Traci says. "Yeah just what I need to do is go have a bunch of people ask me about the Creepy Little Bastard," Jake says. "Jake don't let the CLB ruin your time as world champ. Go out there and enjoy being with your fans," Traci says.
"Yeah you're right," Jake says heading inside. "So are going to be home for dinner or just go some where after the event?" Traci asks. "Well AJ and the Naturals are both doing the same event so we were just going to go to that dinner Andy loves," Jake says. "Alright see you when you get home," Traci says. Jake gives her a kiss to say goodbye.
Christian was in his home talking to his wife on the phone. "So have you been out since I left or are you staying in," Christian's wife Denise asked. "No I haven't really been out. I mean I really don't want to deal with the idiots that come up demanding to know why I did it," Christian said. "Alright well I'll be home tomorrow," Denise says. "Yeah I love you see you tomorrow. Look Denise be careful you never know where so drunk fan boy will recognize you," Christian says.
"Honey with the expectation of that time with Abyss no one has ever harassed me. Hell none of the fans even recognize me after my face was on TV," Denise says. "Look I just have a really bad feeling," Christian says. "Fine I'll be careful," Denise says.
Later that night AJ and Jake were at a diner. Chase and Andy had been dragged off by Shane Douglas. "Man I am so glade I never had manger," Jake says. "What do you can Traci?" AJ asks. "My wife, I mean besides she isn't like a manger, manger," Jake says. "Yeah I know what you mean. Vince Russo drove me insane," AJ says.
"He drove a lot of people nuts. You ever seen his days in charge of WCW," Jake says. "I was there," AJ says. "Yeah but that was after he got fired. You were in WCW when it was breathing its last breaths," Jake says. "Yeah it was but none of the wrestlers would have believed it," AJ says. "You this is why I love having you for a best friend because you and Traci are the only people that aren't asking about Christian Cage," Jake says. "I know you'll take care of him soon enough. Just leave enough for me to some payback," AJ says.
"Yeah well we continue this after I get back from the restroom," Jake says standing up. "Yeah knowing you are going to the chef and having him mess up my order," AJ says. "I will I still have to get you back for that water gun stunt a while back," Jake says heading for the men's room.
AJ goes back to eating his meal when the door swings open. Three women two with black hair and a blond walk in and take a table. "That blond looks real familiar. Now where the hell do I know her from," AJ thinks.
A waitress goes over to the woman's table and blocks the blond from AJ's view. Jake comes back and sits down. "Hey when that waitress moves I want you to take a look at the blond at that table," AJ says. "AJ I'm a happily married man and you well I guess your not so happy if you checking out blonds," Jake says. "I'm not looking for a date. I just know I have seen that woman before," AJ says.
"Maybe she was in the audience and her face just stuck," Jake says. "Now that you mention it I think I have seen her at the tapings but there is something more," AJ says. "Alright as soon as the waitress moves I look at her and put you mind at ease," Jake says.
The waitress moves and Jake sees who it is. "AJ think real hard about who that woman is. Think back before I joined TNA," Jake says. "Oh man that's, that's," AJ says. "Yeah that's Christian's wife," Jake says. "Do you think he is here?" AJ asks. "No it looks like she is out with her friends," Jake says. "You want do anything?" AJ asks. "Yeah finish my burger," Jake says.
Jake and AJ go back to eating. A little while ladder Denise who hasn't even looked at them yet comes up to them. "Excuse me do have any salt our table is out?" She asks. "Yeah here you go," Jake says handing it to her. "Oh my god you are… Look Jake…" "I don't want to hear it. I don't care what excuses you husband has. Or how he justifies the crap he pulls. Just tell him this I will get revenge! I am going to fight with everything I have to keep my world title! And when I'm done he is going to have to wear that mask full time!" Jake says with anger in his voice before leaving and slamming the door.
