"I can not believe she just went out with someone" John said as he paced the floor in his and Trish's bedroom in the hotel suite they had.
"Honey will you calm down?" Trish said in a soothing voice "you'll wake Kevin up".
"But my babygirl is out there with someone" John said "that you won't tell me who it is".
"Because I know that if you know who it is you'll go all insane and kick his ass" Trish said matter of factly "baby" she said in a soothing tone "its ok, its just a date you knew she'd start doing it sometime".
"But not this soon" John said as he sat on the edge of the bed. Trish came up beside him and rubbed her hands up and down his bare back.
"Honey" she said gently "she's 18. She's still your babygirl but she's an adult now. As much as you don't want to face facts she's growing up and there's another man in her life". John got up and got under the covers of the bed.
"I still don't like it" he said stubbornly as he turned off the light and closed his eyes. Trish sighed as she got into bed, she knew that if John didn't come around that Sylvain might find himself six feet under really soon.
"So Sylvain" Jessie said as she bit into her cheese burger, trying not to let anything drop out of it onto the plate "what makes you, you?"
"What do you mean?" Sylvain looked at her in question, fork loaded with scrambled eggs halfway to his mouth.
"Well" Jessie said, swallowing "what's your likes, dislikes things of that nature".
"Well in my spare time" Sylvain said "I listen to music, rock mostly old rock. I like Aerosmith. I used to read but I haven't got time now. I don't focus on things I don't like, it is not, how you say, healthy I don't think".
"Good point" Jessie said.
"What about you?" he asked her "what are your likes and not likes, cherie?"
"Well" Jessie said, thinking "writing and music mostly I like. I read some but I like inventing my own stuff better. There's just something about controlling people's lives that's really gratifying".
"Should I call you Hitler?" Sylvain joked, making Jessie smack him in the arm as hard as she could which really didn't hurt Sylvain.
"I'm not quite that bad" she said to him "and hey watch it bud I'll have you in a hardcore match with Big Show and Kane". Sylvain pretended to be petrified which made Jessie crack up laughing in turn making Sylvain laugh with her.
"What was college like?" Sylvain asked her, all of a sudden turning serious. He had never been to college and wanted to know what the experience was like. Jessie thought over it a minute, stirring her tea, trying to figure out the best way to describe it to someone who hadn't ever been.
"Well" she said finally "basically it was like we went to class and outside of that it was a big party. I mean it never got really wild but everyone had alot of fun being together and all".
"I wish I had went now" Sylvain said, a wistful smile on his face. He then smiled brightly at Jessie to cover up how he was feeling but Jessie knew that he had regrets that he had never went to college.
"So you were a male model" Jessie said, making Sylvain blush a deep red "man I'm on a date with a former male model" Jessie pretended to swoon, making Sylvain laugh deeply. Jessie noticed that he still had the cute blush staining his cheeks. "Did you enjoy it?"
"Well" Sylvain said "I needed the cash. It really was just a job, something that was easy to do that got me alot of money".
"So you didn't like it" Jessie prodded a bit. She was interested in learning everything.
"Non" Sylvain said "I didn't want to be just, how you say 'pretty boy'".
"So you got into wrestling" Jessie said, she was beginning to feel like Oprah Winfrey but she didn't care. Sylvain nodded as he swallowed his coke.
"Oui" he explained further "I found a guy who did the training and I paid him to let me join and I did that for a while and met Rene". Jessie almost asked who Rene was but figured it was Dupree "Rene's dad is a famous wrestler and he evaluated me and where I was at. He then contacted Mr. McMahon and we got sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling and the rest is history".
"Ahhh" Jessie didn't really know what to say.
"So what made you want to become a writer for our company?" Sylvain asked her.
"Well" Jessie told him "I love writing, basically. I went into college majoring in journalism and as it got closer to graduating time I contacted the WWE and applied for a position. I had been watching the show and I got mad at some things that went on and I knew that I had to do something about it, or at least try to. Its like dad, he's the WWE Champion yet he's hardly ever shown or mentioned. If it was HHH he'd be shoved down our damn throats. That's one good thing about him being fired, not to mention that he was creepy as hell".
"Speaking of John" Sylvain said, leaning forward in his seat "how is he as a dad?"
"Well" Jessie replied "he hasn't really gotten a chance to actually be my dad since I went to college. Before that he, well he wasn't really a dad either. I mean he was always there for me and all but I've never actually thought of him as the stereotypical dad. He's always been more laid back then what my image of a dad actually is. I figure that may change soon though".
"Why is that?" Sylvain asked "mon cherie". Jessie blushed, she loved when Sylvain spoke French to her.
"Well his babygirl is on a date" Jessie told Sylvain, almost bashfully "and I sorta didn't tell him, I just left".
"Ahhh" Sylvain exclaimed "the ol' daughter going on her first date. I should be afraid,no?"
"Well" Jessie said, pondering the answer "I dunno. I mean I've been through alot in my life since I've been with dad and he may not be too keen on letting me date right now, he may need a chance to warm up to the idea".
"Mon Dieu" Sylvain quietly exclaimed, seeing the pain written on Jessie's face "what have you been through?"
"Sylvain" Jessie said, a regretful tone in her voice "I can't tell you. I mean its hard to talk about regardless and I guess I just have trust issues and its hard for me to open up easily. I have to make sure, ya know".
"I will show you that you can give me your trust" Sylvain told Jessie "vous pouvez me fier".
"Will you take me back to the hotel?" Jessie knew she had put a damper on the evening and she wasn't exactly keen on trying to salvage it after bringing up her sordid past.
