Longer than normal chapter. If you want certain things for the characters to do please tell me so I can try and fit them in with what I have planned.
Jenny sat alone in her hotel room applying eye liner. It was 7 o'clock and Zack had made dinner reservations for 8. Jason and Phil had left for their matches and weren't going to be back until after 11. The restaurant they were going to was a small Italian restaurant with great reviews. She checked herself in the full-sized mirror. Her hair was straightened and styled, her dress clung onto her body in a flattering way and her heels emphasized her height with the tights showing off her lovely curved legs. Her lips where a luscious red, and eyes were highlighted with eye liner. She looked beautiful. There was a knock on the hotel door before a 6 foot Zack walked in.
Zack was wearing dark blue jeans that clung onto his waist. A white shirt button up shirt with a thin black tie, underneath a black blazer. He looked as good as Jenny did.
"You look beautiful." Zack whispered in her ear. "Everyone is going to be so jealous of who I'm going on a meal with."
"Wait until they see who I'm going with." Jenny winked.
"You ready to go ma'am?" Zack took a bow and offered his hand.
"Yes I am sir." Jenny took his hand as they both walked down to his car together.
"How have these past few months been?" Zack asked
"You've been with me, it's been busy." Jenny replied.
"You know what I mean. How are you emotionally?"
"I'm fine. Why would you ask?"
"I'm concerned. I notice the panic in your eyes when you hear footsteps coming towards you at shows or when someone knocks on your door."
"I'm not panicked about Matt, Zack. He's my past."
"Have you heard about who he is supposedly dating?"
"Who?" Jenny got a small stab of jealousy.
"AJ Lee."
"Eugh. I don't like that girl."
"She's tolerable." Zack laughed. "We're here." He got out the car and walked around to open her door.
"Thank you." Jenny got out and walked into the restaurant.
"Hellooo-." A high pitched noise came from behind them. "I will be your waiter for the evening." It was a tall blonde haired lady.
"Hey there." Zack winked before realising he was with Jenny. "Where are we sitting?" The small stab of jealousy that Jenny felt got bigger.
"Over this way." The waiter winked back. "I'm Lexi."
"Hello Lexi." Jenny said in a stern voice.
"This is your table," Lexi pointed at a table with the number '7' on it. "I will be back with your menus."
"What were we talking about?" Zack asked.
"AJ." Jenny gave a crooked look.
"Oh, yeah. I really don't mind her. I can't say I'm her biggest fan but I can't say I hate her either."
"I can say she doesn't like me."
"I'm sure she's fine with you. She'll be staying away, especially if the thing about Matt is real."
"He can date whoever he wants to." Jenny shrugged.
"True."
"Here is the menu," Lexi gave the menus to them. "Any drinks?"
"Red wine please," Zack said. "You Jen?"
"Orange juice." Jenny smiled. "Can I also have the penne followed by tiramisu please?"
"Me too." Zack handed the menus back.
"I'll be back with your meals." Lexi took the menus.
"How are you doing, seeing anyone?" Asked Jenny
"No, not really. But there is this one girl."
"Oo. Tell me about her."
"Tell me about you first. Are you ready to start seeing someone?"
"Me? No. I don't know how I can handle getting hurt again."
"What if this person doesn't hurt you?"
"Like you said, it's a 'what if'. I can't take that chance. Now tell me about her."
"Well, she-. Where to begin. I've known her for years, but only just gotten to know her closely."
"And how is she?"
"Special."
"Asked her out?"
"Your meals." Lexi handed the dishes over. "I'll be back with your desserts." Lexi winked at Zack.
"She's got it for you." Jenny laughed.
"Yeah, well I've got it for someone else." Zack winked.
"You never told me who."
Zack thought for a moment. "Maybe another time. And talking about admirers that guy has been staring at you the whole time we have been here."
"Yeah, well all he'll be able to do is look."
"Your effect on men should be a classed as a crime."
"You're lying. How's the food?"
"Nice, not like the food in Italy though."
"I've never been, is it good?"
"Beautiful, a bit like you in that department."
"You're making me blush."
"Desserts." Lexi placed the tiramisu in front of them before stroking Zack's shoulder.
"That'll be all, thanks." Zack said awkwardly.
"Ask her out for the night." Jenny laughed.
"I'd rather not."
"I love this tiramisu."
"It's nice. You nearly finished?"
"Yeah, I'll pay."
"Hey. It's my treat." Zack insisted.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
Zack paid for their meal and took Jenny's hand outside. He closed the door behind Jenny and stepped into the driver's seat. Their journey back to the hotel was filled with laughter and discussions; they managed to get back before 10 o'clock. Jenny stepped into the shower before Zack so she put a film on by the time he came out. By the time the movie was finished it was half 11; Zack had fallen asleep and Jenny wasn't far off. She stared at his calm face. It was oozing innocence and love; just what she desired.
Zack and Jenny were asleep in each other's arms before being woken up by Jason. It was time for them to fly to their new destination for the next couple of days. They both got ready grouchily and weren't looking forward to the 3 hour flight. All four wrestlers were out of the hotel by 11 AM. They got on the flight at 12 and arrived at their new hotel at 4 PM. Jenny was going to have her first T.V taping in exactly a week. Today was her trail run for her story line. Vince had changed it to her and Ryback feuding against John Cena and Jason. She was going to appear heel for her first storyline.
"Looking forward to tonight?" Jason asked as they were walked through the corridors of the stadium.
"Yeah, I've never actually met Ryan (Ryback) since he's been at the company so tonight's run through will be good." Jenny smiled.
"I think it will be good to." Ryan stepped next to Jenny and Jason.
"Hey Ryan." Jason gave Ryan a friendly hug. "You haven't met my little trouble maker yet have you? This is Jennifer."
"Hello Jennifer." Ryan kissed Jenny's hand.
"Hello Ryan." Jenny tip-toed to kiss his cheek but was still too short.
"You're a little cutie." Ryan winked.
"Yeah, she is." Zack swung his arm around Jenny's shoulder.
"I'll see you out there." Ryan shrugged and walked off.
"Way to scare the new guy." Phil laughed.
"What?" Zack scowled. "I was agreeing."
"Guys stop it. You two have a match to get ready for. Your title is on the line Phil." Jenny said.
"Fine." Zack stomped off.
"He's smitten." Phil joked.
"You too mister." Jenny pointed at his changing room as they walked past. Jason and Jenny approached the hall where most of the Divas and Superstars were sat chatting and eating.
"There are your two best friends." Jason signalled towards Matt and AJ. It was weird seeing Matt for the first time since the last events for Jenny, but it was weirder seeing him with AJ.
"I never knew that was his type." Jenny commented.
"Are you okay with it?" Jason gave a puzzled look.
"Even if I wasn't, what could I do?" Jenny asked.
"You have a point."
(During rehearsals for her first T.V. appearance in front of the audience. Ryback, Jason and John Cena are on stage too.)
"How wonderful is it to be in front of this crowd today." John pointed around the arena. The crowd gave a cheer.
"These people, really John?" Ryan played on his alter ego.
"Just because you are all alone." Jason 'Christian' laughed.
"Actually…" Ryan smirked as Jenny's music hit. She had decided to go with Fozzy's 'Let the Madness Begin'. She used the intro and the Chorus as her entrance. Also it would show her appreciation of Chris Jericho. Chris and Adam had been friends for years and she had grown close with him. As her music hit the audience made a collective gasping noise.
"He's not." Jenny said into the microphone. Her voice shaky with nervousness.
"And who might this be, do keep her to yourself." John encouraged. "She looks harmless."
"Oriana." Ryan narrowed his eyebrows. "You are mistaken."
"Is he keeping you captive?" Jason took the mickey out of Jenny's role. The crowd laughed along with him. They were all stunned into silence once Jenny kicked Jason across the head, knocking him unconscious. Jenny and Ryan walked off the stage together laughing to their microphones.
Around 2 minutes later John and Jason walked backstage too.
"Welcome to the team kiddo." John tapped Jenny on her shoulder before walking off.
"That went well." Jason said rubbing his head. "Easy on the kick next week though."
"Okay, I'm glad you liked it." Jenny smiled.
"Yeah, well done." Ryan gave her a small hug. "I can't wait to start working with you."
"You too Ryan, I'll see you tomorrow for our tag team match." Jenny waved as he walked away.
"How did you think it went?" Jason asked.
"Okay, I got really nervous and scared speaking though." Jenny shrugged.
"That'll get better with practice." Jason took the microphone off her and set it aside.
"Hope so," Jenny sighed. "Now go get ready for your onscreen match."
"I'll see you after the show." Jason walked off. Jenny wandered around the stadium wondering what to do for the next two hours. She decided to go find Phil as his match was last. They sat and talked for most of the time, with 10 minutes remaining till the match one of the producers called him behind the curtains. Jason and Zack were getting changed from their matches so all Jenny had to do was wait. She walked around for a while before sitting in a chair in the empty hall. All the Divas and Superstars were either getting changed, in the ring or on their way to the hotel. It was only her and Matt in that room; only she didn't realise.
"How's it going Jennifer?" Matt sat across from Jenny; startling her.
"Um- It's… Hi." Jenny was looking for the right words to say.
"You know this is the first time we've sat down and talked properly. You know, since…"
"And there are reasons for that Matt."
"There shouldn't be."
"What do you want?"
"To know how it's going."
"It's going well, I like my new life."
"Is your new life you though?" Matt pointed at Jenny's hair. "Did you need to change this drastically? You were beautiful just the way you were."
"Yes. Now any more questions?"
"You don't have to be so rude."
"That could be said about you too."
"The past is the past Orry."
"You don't get to call me that anymore!"
"You're right. It should be your new boyfriend. What's he called, Zack? Or are you getting close with Phil? Either way, they don't deserve you. I do."
"What?" Jenny mumbled in disbelief.
"I'll have you back sooner or later; I'll show you how they can break your heart. And you know what the worst thing is? You don't even know he has your heart."
"I'm happy and single. I'm also planning on staying that way. What makes you think is get back with you then?"
"You're right; we should get back together now." Matt took hold of her hand.
"Never!" Jenny stood up. "I will never, ever be in your command again!" She walked out of the hall and through the hallway. Her feet lead her to the car, she was lucky enough to find Zack waiting for her and the others.
"What's wrong with you?" Zack nudged her.
"Men, I hate the whole lot of them." Jenny said through her teeth.
"What have we done now?" Zack raised an eyebrow.
"You expect us to be so forgiving and blind sighted to everything you do. And when you do realise what you have done wrong, you think all it takes is an apology to make everything better and for us to come crawling back to your arms." Jenny threw her fists around in the air.
"Who are you talking about?" Jason joined them in the car. He was sat in the passenger seat.
"Matt." Jenny narrowed her eyes.
"He's here?" Zack's voice went all stern.
"Were. He's probably gone crawling into his hotel room." Jenny shook her head.
"I thought I sorted that guy out." Phil said in a calm voice as he got into the driver's seat. "Want me to sort him out again?"
"Its fine," Jenny sighed. "I'll sort him out next time."
"There won't be another next time Jennifer." Jason said. "From now on you will not be leaving my sight; if you do there will be hell to pay."
"Jay!" Jenny moaned.
"No complaining young lady. You will either be with me, Phil or Zack. Nobody else! Understand?"
"Please!" Jenny carried on moaning.
"It's for the best." Phil backed up on Jason's point.
"Fine. I need some sleep so can we get to the hotel already?" Jenny whined.
"Here now." Phil stopped the car. They all walked up the stairs and into their rooms; Phil and Jason were sharing a room again and so were Zack and Jenny.
"Want to go for a walk or something to get your mind off the whole Zack matter?" Zack asked once they got into their room.
"I'll be fine Zack." Jenny lied. "Get some sleep."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Stop lying."
"Stop asking." Jenny kissed his cheek. "Goodnight."
"We're going out. Put on your jacket." Zack picked up his. They both walked out the hotel still arguing. "Let's get some alcohol in you."
"Eugh. Zack." Jenny complained.
"Come on, this bar doesn't look bad." Zack and Jenny walked into the closest bar. "What do you want to drink?"
"Nothing, please let's leave." Jenny pleaded. Zack looked deep into her eyes and gave in. they walked out of the bar and towards the hotel.
"What about a hug before we go in?" Zack asked as they stood outside the hotel.
"Okay." Jenny wrapped her arms around Zack's neck. He lifted her up and placed her legs around his waist. "Why can't all guys be as nice as you are?"
"They don't have you to be nice to." Zack complimented her. He had stopped turning but she was still wrapped around him.
"I'm not worth it. I'm a horrible girlfriend. Look what I lead Matt to do. I'm a horrible friend and a horrible sister. Look at the position I've put everyone in. I can't be trusted to be alone. The place I put you in. For all you could have known when you moved to North Carolina is that I'm not that impressive."
"Don't say that. I'm glad I moved. If I hadn't I wouldn't of gotten to know you the way I have now." Zack moved his head back so he was looking into her eyes while still keeping hold too.
"You don't have to lie about this stuff to me Zack." Jenny turned her head to the side. "You probably don't even like me."
Zack waited until her head was up. "I love you.".
Before Jenny could respond he moved them against the wall. His eyes still interlocked with hers, just like their bodies were, glistening in the moonlight. He pushed his lips against hers. All of Zack's energy was focused on this one kiss which only lasted for three seconds. Jenny put her legs down and pulled back.
"I-" Zack was startled and didn't know what to say. "Please don't leave."
All Jenny could do was stare, that's all she had power for. It took 10 seconds for what happened to sink in. She didn't know whether to follow her heart or to follow her head. Her final decision was to do both. Jenny got on her toes, kissed Zack's lips then ran off.
"Wow." Zack whispered to himself while holding his lips. "It's real."
