Chapter 2
The next week, after a house show, the clique went out with a bunch of guys in the raw roster-well except for Jordan who stayed in the hotel. He hadn't been sleeping much recently and planned an early night (not that he would have went out if he wasn't tired). While he was in the bathroom, brushing his teeth, he heard someone come into the room. He simply thought it was Ted getting something he had forgotten and go back out, so he thought none of it. When he got out of the bathroom, he jumped when realised it was Mike who came in.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. Ted gave me his key…Nice legs" Mike smiled.
Jordan blushed. He was wearing an old t-shirt and a pair of boxer-briefs." I'd no be like this if I knew you were going to barge in" He went on to put some trousers on.
"You can tell all those lunges you do have paid off." Mike continued to tease Jordan.
"Shut up Michael! Why aren't you partying with everyone else?"
"I've had to do media promotion all day. I'm exhausted and I fancied having a night out with you."
"Or are you here to babysit me?"
"Jordan. I've been up since 5 doing interviews all over the city answering the same questions all day. And take a damn compliment."
"Sorry. It's just weird seeing The Miz not wanting to go out.
"Don't worry. I'll be back on the town when I get back to LA. The nightlife here isn't the same. What's it like in Daytona Beach?"
"I wouldn't know. I'm not 21 yet"
"You don't need to go to a nightclub just go to a you're 20, some places don't check for ID you can pass for 21. When we're in LA I'm taking you out. You love The Hills it'll just be like that. We should go to a gay bar! Me, you, Chris and Ted."
"No thanks Mizzy. Is there anything good on t.v?"
"Mike flicked through the channels."Oh my god. Layer Cake is on! You ever seen it?"
Jordan shook his head.
"Sit down. You're watching it. This is the best film ever."
Jordan sat on the couch as far as Mike as possible. He felt really awkward around Mike with. He was scared he'd do something stupid. He couldn't help but admire Mike's beauty. Everything about him attracted Jordan. His hair was perfect, Jordan and Mike always joked it was the best hair in the world. His dress sense was perfect as well. Jordan always thought a man looked great in a shirt and tie. Even Mike's imperfections were irresistible, like Mike not having a chin or when he was a little bit chubby. But Mike was more than just looks. He was always such a nice guy unlike his on-air persona but he was as funny as his WWE character. But Mike was Jordan's friend. His straight friend. He was the chick magnet after all. He knew Mike isn't homophobic but he didn't want to make him feel awkward and potentially ruin one of the few friendships Jordan had.
"Do I smell Jordan?"
"What?"
"You couldn't be any further from me. Don't be uncomfortable it's me. Mike. Mizzy. I've seen the way you sit with Ted." He stretches his arm out. "Come on. I don't bite"
Jordan felt a rush of excitement. He's always rested his head against Ted and as nice as that felt he always wanted to sit like that with Mike. He rested his head against Mike's chest"
"See not so bad is it?"
"Your boobs are hard! I knew you've worked out more but damn."
"They're called pecs and don't sound too surprised"
"Sorry it's just you were a bit…you had you're fair share of cellulite."
"I wasn't like Chris."
"Aye you must be glad he's the fat one. But there's nothing wrong having a wee bit of flab"
"More of there to like"
"Exactly"
Jordan didn't pay much attention to the film. He was just enjoying this moment. At least he could imagine he was Mike's boyfriend for the night.
"Jordan…do you find Daniel Craig hot?" Mike asked, quite unsure how Jordan would react.
"No." Jordan wasn't really in the mood for one of these conversations. "I said I didn't want to talk about…you know" Not until I'm ready to talk."
"But me, Chris and Ted have known for months before everyone else and you've said nothing. We've noticed you've been a little…different since we found out. It doesn't have to be a deep conversation just who you think is hot. What about Robert Pattinson?"
"Emm… not my cup of tea. Quite attractive but not as good as the all the hype he gets"
" What about… Zac Efron?"
"I never thought he was hot when he was in High School Musical but now with the shorter hair I've found him hotter."
"Justin Bieber?"
"Ewww he's like 12? He does my head in anyway."
"So Zack Efron's your celebrity crush?"
"Mmm I wouldn't say crush. He's hot and if he asked me out I'd say yes but I don't have any pictures of him or any of his films. I don't think I have any celebrity crushes. I like Giuseppe Rossi the football-soccer player but he's not exactly a celebrity."
"Do you have a type?
"Type of what?"
"Guy?"
"…Attractive." Jordan wasn't going to describe his perfect guy-his perfect guy is Mike.
"Have you ever liked anyone here in WWE?"
"What's with the 3rd degree Mizzy?" He sat up.
"I'm just curious. You never talk about these things while the rest of us are always talking about who we think are hot."
"I don't like talk about it because a guy who likes guys in wrestling= perv. I never used to fancy anyone when I 1st watched wrestling but I was like 8 and I thought boys were stinky then. I did love Sable though. When I started watching again in 2007, I've noticed there's more… eye-candy. "
"Like who?"
"Like Cody, Cena, Ryder and you" Jordan didn't mean to say that. It just slipped out. Thank God Mike couldn't see the look of horror on Jordan's face.
"You think I'm hot?" Mike sounded a little surprised.
"Well I'm being honest. You're a good looking guy. You're the Chick Magnet. Well more than a chick magnet. Bt we're friends now and you're just Mizzy."
"What do you mean just Mizzy? Am I not as good-looking in person? Someone out there better looking than me?" Mike was half joking but that comment bruised his ego.
"God people say I'm the biggest drama queen in the WWE. I didn't mean you're not hot anymore. It's just we're such good friends you know? Don't worry you're still so pretty" Jordan stroked Mike's face as a joke but it did give him make his pulse speed up. "And you've got the best hair I've ever seen. I'd be lucky to have you" Jordan lay back down against Mike's chest, thinking he got a bit carried away.
"Aww thanks. If I was to ever date a guy it would be with you. Any guy would be lucky to have you."
"This has to be the gayest conversation I've ever had."
"Then my work here is done. Soon I'll be getting you to spill everything to me"
"I'm Ted's bitch don't tell me I'm yours too."
"Mine. Ted's. Chris'. For someone who's so feisty you're different around us 3" They continued watching the film where eventually Jordan fell asleep and Mike carried him to bed. About 20 minutes later Ted arrived.
"How was you're night?" Ted asked
"It was good."
"How was he?"
"At 1st we thought I was here just to babysit him- which I can now see why he thinks that. It's cool we just talked and watched tv. I managed to get him talking about being gay."
"Talking about what?" Ted wasn't sure if he liked the sound of that.
"Nothing serious. Just like celebrity crushes and stuff like that. I still think he's still hiding something. But we'll get him soon."
"I hope he gets better. He's been under a cloud ever since we found out. And he's so reserved not wanting to talk about stuff like this."
"He's always like that."
"Maybe this is why. I wish he's go out with us."
"I know but maybe we should take it 1 step at a time. God we've adopted a 20 year old from Scotland. This is like some bad movie-3 men and a Scottish gay 20 year old."
"If he heard that, he would have kicked your ass."
"That's why I'm going to bed. See ya Ted"
