Chapter 6.
Jessie looked at the interior of the hotel as they made their way to the check in desk, it was really nice. It wasn't like a posh hotel but it also wasn't too shabby either. She stood behind Randy and John as they checked in. After they checked in and received their room keys they made their way to the elevator. Jessie wasn't particularly looking forward to this part but knew that she had to do it to get to the room.
"Who you rooming with tonight babygirl" John said making conversation with Jessie since he saw that she was a bit uncomfortable with being in the elevator.
"You" she said watching the numbers which seemed to pass by very slowly. Randy sat down the bags. He picked her up and made her look at his face.
"Look at me and not the numbers. Concentrate on how hot I am" Randy said with a cheeky smirk. Jessie laid her head on his shoulder and concentrated on keeping her breathing normal. Randy rubbed her back lightly.
Finally the elevator got to the floor they were on and Jessie practically jumped out of the elevator. John and Randy knew it wasn't funny so they didn't laugh at her reaction. They just set off to their rooms. John and Jessie went into theirs to put their stuff away while Randy did the same in his. They met up in the hallway and made their way back to the elevator. There was a show that night so they had to go to the arena. Jessie sighed as she stepped on the elevator. When they got on Jessie moved over to Randy and put her head back on his shoulder. He just smiled and wrapped his arms around her. The elevator ride seemed to go faster this time and they were back on ground floor before Jessie knew it.
When they went out in the lobby a loud male voice said "well if it aint Cena and Orton the two slackers off".
Randy and John turned around and Randy said "Jindrak shut up just cause your like a billion hours early to every little thing doesn't mean John and I are late".
Jessie just stood there while the 3 guys talked among themselves. Finally Mark, who was facing her way, noticed her "hi sweetheart do you want an autograph or something" he said whipping out a pen from his pocket.
"Dude no that's my daughter" John said pulling Jessie to his side and hugging her to him.
" Since when do you have a daughter that looks to be about 11" Mark said kind of eyeing Jessie up.
"I'm 14 actually" Jessie said while at the same time John said "long story and shes 14". They looked at each other and laughed. Mark just shrugged and nodded.
"Oh dudes I'm glad your here actually. Maven left me when freaking Christy needed a ride. He just needs to tell her he has a crush on her and get it over with. So anyways I need a ride".
"Sure" John said "we're leaving now though so I hope you got everything" Mark jogged over and grabbed a small duffle bag that matched the one Randy was carrying. He nodded to them and the foursome made their way out to the car. When he saw the car Mark couldn't help but cringe.
"It's the only one they had, it will get us to and from where we need to go and that's all that matters" John said, not even looking at Mark as he unlocked the doors and climbed in the driver seat. Randy got in the passenger seat as usual and Mark and Jessie climbed in the back.
On the way to the arena Jessie stole quite a few glances at Mark. He had always been high on her WWE crush list and now that they were in close proximity she couldn't help but look. She inconspicuously tried to sniff him but couldn't smell anything but her own Deep Red by Hugo Boss perfume. She sighed quietly and turned her attention to the scenery as John, Randy, and Mark talked around her. She had noticed that both Mark and Randy were semi dressed up in button up shirts and dress pants while John had opted to just keep wearing his jean shorts and Chicago Cubs jersey.
They arrived at the arena a short time later and Jessie was glad to be out of the car. She had gotten over her uneasiness about riding in one but she still wasn't totally comfortable with being in one for a long period of time. They made their way inside and Jessie looked around in awe. The backstage area was very intriguing to her, she had always been intrigued by the behind the scenes of things and this was like the Holy Grail for her. John, Randy, and Mark made their way over to a big erasible marker board and Jessie stood behind them confused.
"Damn Randy we got a lot of work tonight two promos, a confrontation in the ring, and a match. What the hell why are they deciding to give us a story line now, whose gonna watch Jessie while we do all this shit" John stopped his tirade and looked at Jessie "sorry for the cursing baby girl I kinda forgot you were there".
"It's ok, my ex baby sitter was worse, I've heard it all" Jessie said, shrugging.
"Well John since it looks like I have nothing to do I can watch Jessie, Maven and I were gonna play a basketball game because he's got that concussion, you know, and I can take her with me, I can give her the dirt on you two knuckle heads behind your backs" Mark turned toward Jessie and winked, letting her know that he was just joking.
"Jindrak
don't you dare corrupt my kid while I'm gone I'll string you up by
your bal--toes" John cast a
sideways glance at Jessie who
was trying not to laugh at him.
"She'll be fine or have you forgotten that I have a kid of my own? Marcus has turned out pretty well if I do say so myself" Mark gave John an annoyed look.
"That's cause he's mostly with his momma" Randy threw in, smirking at Mark. Mark stuck his tongue out at Randy and John laughed at his childishness.
"Baby girl" John said turning toward Jessie and putting his hands on her arms "will you be ok with Mark? You can stay with one of the divas if you prefer".
Considering that the only divas Jessie liked were Trish and Victoria, who would most likely be busy that night, Jessie decided to delcine that offer. "I'll be ok" she said simply, deciding that telling John that she'd rather douse herself in lighter fluid and light herself on fire than spend time with most of the divas wasn't such a good idea. John nodded and kissed her forehead.
"I'll be back to get you at the end of the show. It's easier than taking you back to Mark each time I have to leave" Randy came over and hugged her, and he and John left to go who knows where.
"Well" Mark said looking at Jessie "it's just you and me kiddo. Let's go find Maven, do you want to play basketball with us or just watch? I mean when its just me and him it can get kind of intense but if you wanna play we can just do a few games of horse or something, my son always likes to play elephant, says it gives him more of a chance to win. I let him win anyway though". Mark laughed at this and Jessie smiled.
"No that's ok" Jessie said trying to not sound like a school girl to Mark "I'm not really a sports kinda girl. Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those girly girls that won't break a sweat but sports just really aren't my thing. I love to watch though. I used to go to all of my High School football and basketball games. I never really got into professional sports all that much but High School games alot of fun for me to watch" Jessie knew she was rambling a bit but she found Mark very easy to talk to.
After a few minutes of Mark and Jessie walking down the hall talking a voice called "about time, Mark, I've been waiting here for like ten minutes".
"Oh be quiet baldy I'm here aren't I" Mark asked Maven, rhetorically "besides I had to make sure I didn't have anything to do tonight and I had to bring John's little girl with me too so that's what kept me".
"Since when does John have a little girl" Maven said eyeing Jessie warily.
"Well as he told me its a long story, that we'll probably hear later on sometime" Mark pulled Jessie gently to his side "anyway this is Jessie, Jessie as you probably know this is Maven, don't worry though he's not as rude as he comes off".
"Hi" Maven said shaking Jessie's hand "sorry if I seemed rude I just haven't had a good day so far".
"It's ok it happens" Jessie said shrugging it off, people were allowed bad days and she still thought Maven was cool and hot, he was wearing a pair of grey dress pants and a dark blue button up shirt.
"OK
anyways let's get to the game" Mark said walking over to a door.
Jessie walked behind Maven and
stepped in the room behind them.
It was like a big game room. There was a full basketball court and
various other sports equipment laying on the sides.
Jessie saw a folding chair off to the side and sat down in it. Maven jogged over and got the basketball from the far wall. He carried it back over to where Mark was and put the ball on the ground. Mark and Maven both started unbuttoning their shirts and took them off. Jessie had to keep herself from falling out of her chair. The image before her was very freaking hot. Maven and Mark played around a few minutes before Mark called over to her "so anything you wanna know about your dad, we know a lot of dirt".
Jessie snapped her attention off of looking at their sweaty bodies to Mark's words "well anything you'd like to share I guess, I wanna hear as much as I can". Jessie didn't really know what to ask, she wanted to know it all.
"Hmm lets see" Mark said doing a jumpshot and yelling 'woo' when the ball went in "well he can be a bit of a party animal but I expect that'll taper off now since he has you to look after, umm he hasn't really had a serious relationship in the time that I've known him not cause he's a player or anything, I just think he hasn't found the right girl uhhhh when it comes to work he's on a permanent coffee break hahahaha just playing, oh and he like has this serious crush on Trish Stratus, he gets all stuttery and red around her its so freaking funny".
"Hey remember when we were at that club and John was walking with his drink and he saw Trish and tripped..." Maven couldn't talk anymore he was laughing too hard.
"...and spilled it all over that chick and she slapped him really hard and he tried to help her wipe it off and she thought...he was...feeling her up and...kneed him in the groin" Maven and Mark both collapsed in a heap of laughter, Jessie didn't see what was so funny but let them have their fun.
After the laughing fit Mark and Maven continued with their game. Jessie actually got into it and mentally started keeping score. Mark was wiping the floor with Maven when the door opened and John and Randy came in.
"Yo we are finally done" John said pretending to collapse from exhaustion. Everyone laughed at him and he stood up, taking a mock bow.
"You gonna join our game or is it time to blow this joint" Maven said pausing his shot.
"We got like half an hour" Randy said starting to take his shirt off. Jessie didn't know how she'd keep from passing out with all these shirtless hotties around. John whipped off his jersey and tossed it over to the side where the pile of shirts was apparently designated to be. John and Mark teamed up to take on Randy and Maven in the game. Jessie went back to watching intently and found herself starting to cheer for John and Mark out loud.
"Hey"
Randy said mid shot when he heard Jessie shout 'go John and Mark "why
aren't you cheering for
Maven and me" he put on a fake pout
and Jessie laughed at him.
"Umm because they're ahead by twenty points maybe? I mean why would I cheer for a team that's basically gonna lose" Jessie laughed at Randy's shocked expression and laughed even harder when the ball slid from his hands, rolling across the floor a bit.
"Ok then well, we'll see who has the last laugh when the game is over" Randy said picking the ball up and shooting it, it sailed over the rim and hit the wall behind it. He tried not to look embarassed but a red hue stained his cheeks anyway.
Thirty minutes later the game ended and the final score was John and Mark 150 points, Randy and Maven 80 points. Jessie smirked and said "haha" to Randy. He dropped his shirt, which he had been bent over to pick up off the floor to put back on, and chased after her. Jessie foresaw his actions and took off running. She had been on her track team in school and easily ran the length of the room as Randy trailed behind her at a small distance. After about ten minutes Randy stopped and bent over to catch his breath. Jessie saw that he had stopped and leisurely jogged around the room, a cocky smirk on her face.
"She's so your daughter" Mark said looking at John, John just smiled and nodded his head. After Randy got his breath back he went over and got his shirt, tugging it on. He told Jessie he would get her when she least expected it and she just simply smiled innocently at him.
After the guys had their shirts back on and the sports gear put up they all headed out. Jessie stood between John and Mark on the way out, glancing at Randy every once in a while making sure he wasn't gonna leap for her when her defenses were down.
