Jamie

Dave said his goodbyes and closed the door and moments later I flopped on the bed, I couldn't believe what had happened earlier. He had kissed me, he had seriously kissed me and it wasn't that bad… Actually it was fantastic! I had never been kissed like that before; so gentle and so completely, perfect. Whenever Conner had kissed me it was forced and horrible, he was rough and only ever cared about one thing; his own pleasure. But with Dave it was different; if I never kissed another person I'd die happy having been kissed by David Bautista. I felt my lips once more, I could still feel his lips against mine, before rolling over grabbing my cell phone and absently dialling my best friend's number.

"Thanks for calling as soon as you landed like you PROMISED. I've been worried sick!"

"Ah yea, sorry. But you will seriously never guess who just left my room"

"John Cena?"

"He's on Raw"

"Randy Orton?"

"Once again he's on Raw"

"Sandman?"

"Do you even know which show I work on?"

"Yes! You work on Smackdown but 90 percent of Smackdown tapings have ECW afterwards"

"Very true but this is my second week and last week it was a Smackdown only show. When would I have had time to meet Sandman?"

"Between landing and NOT calling me perhaps?"

"True but just remember I have much better taste than you"

"HEY that was low! So what was Dave doing in your room?" Alex asked, showing that she knew really did know who had just left my hotel room, she always did.

"I'm not fully sure but I don't think the impromptu tonsil hockey match was part of the plan"

"He kissed you?" Alex asked in shock, she was so easy to get a rise out of. Having been her friend for many years I knew the easiest way to get her to bite.

"No he kissed Eli… Yes he kissed me!" I replied sarcastically. Alex may have been my best friend but she could ask some really blonde questions. I suddenly found myself being deafened by Alex's squeals of delight.

"GAH MY EARS!" I screamed attempting to be heard over my friend's squealing. This caused Eli to turn from the TV show he was watching and put his finger to his lips shushing me.

"Eli, watch your show!" I growled struggling not to laugh at my friend or my son.

"So tell me everything"

"Hey now I'm not one to kiss and tell"

"BULL! You tell me everything, the second you get the chance. Jamie you honestly can't keep your mouth shut when it comes to your love life."

"It was months before I told you anything about Conner"

"Yes but Conner was a bloody asshole that was taking advantage and then threatening you, you should have left the prick long before he had a chance to get his filthy hands anywhere near you"

"Hey watch it Conner gave me the best gift I've ever received"

"Mommy what did he give you?" My son asked, I looked over and noticed that he'd left his spot in front of the TV and was now sitting on the bed beside me.

"Hang on a sec Alex" I sighed turning to my young child,

"Eli, mommy's talking to Aunt Alex and what does that mean?"

"That I have to sit quietly and watch TV like a good boy. But mommy I want to go see Davie 'Tista again!"

"You'll see Dave soon, you are going to spend the evening with him, now go sit down so that I can finish talking to Aunt Alex," I sighed, momentarily feeling as though I was being replaced but I was also relieved that my son seemed to have found a new friend. I just prayed that letting Eli get close to the man wasn't a mistake, if Dave let Eli down there would be hell to pay and my son would be heartbroken.

"Sorry Al,"

"You know you'll have to tell Eli about his father one day," as Alex said this I felt my blood boil and headed for the bathroom where Eli wouldn't be able hear me.

"I don't have to do anything."

"I found telling Jimmy about his dad made it easier, plus it gave him a chance to get to know his dad"

"Look you made your decision about your son and I made my decision about my son. Besides the situation between Bryan and you is completely different to the one with Conner and myself. You thought you had found your perfect guy and it turned out he that was, if you two just weren't so damn alike! I was prepared to settle for imperfection, I thought I loved him, when really I just loved the attention. When Eli is older and if he wants to know about his father I will tell him, but right now I don't think my three year old son really needs to know about that part of our lives."

"I guess your right; it's your decision to make. So tell me, what happened with Dave?" My best friend asked subtly changing the topic, I was more than happy to allow the topic change and I began to divulge every minute detail of what had occurred barely an hour earlier.

"So now I'm confused; how am meant to act around him now? Should I pretend like nothing happened? Or should I act differently? Does he expect me to sleep with him?"

"Yes"

"Yes what?"

"Yes, he expects you to sleep with him"

"Why?"

"He's a man, it's a given"

"So every man expects a woman to sleep with him?"

"Yep"

"Is there any exception to the rule?"

"Only one"
"What?" I asked hoping that Dave would fall in the exception.

"They're gay," her straight out reply caused me to snort out a laugh.

"Hey, I need to pick up Jimmy from Bryan's. Look don't stress, just see how he behaves and if he pretends it never happened then you pretend it never happened. Do whatever you're comfortable with and if he tries to sleep with you and you don't want to don't let him! You deserve better than some guy that tries to jump into bed with you. Just remember he's not Conner"

"Yea, I've got to head to the arena myself. Thanks for your help Alex; you always know what to say. I just wish you could be with me on the road"

"Take me and Jimmy with you next week"

"If you're a good girl I just might. I'll see you tomorrow, give Jimmy a hug for me"

"And you give Eli one for me," she sighed and ended the call. I hit the red phone button and pull myself to my feet remembering that I had left my son alone in the hotel room where the very sugary leftovers from earlier were now sitting on the table.

I braced myself for the undoubtable mess I was about to face, not to mention my three year old who was bound to be on a sugar high. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath I opened the door to find the dishes untouched on the table and my son sitting cross legged on his bed staring intently at the TV,

"OddParents is on mommy," he announced not turning his attention away from the screen, I sighed in relief knowing that aside from Go, Diego, Go, Fairly OddParents was the only show that would distract my child from everything else, he probably hadn't even realised that I'd left the room.

"I can see that. Are you ready to go sweetie? We have to leave in 5 minutes"

"But OddParents is on mommy"

"I know, but mommy has to go to work and you're going to spend the night with Dave"

"I like Davie"

"I know you do. So you need to get ready so that you don't leave him waiting," I replied smiling as I knew the thought of seeing Dave again would get my son moving. A couple of minutes later I was, at my son's persistent demands, calling the cell phone of one David Bautista to ask if he would like a lift to the arena, he was flattered by the offer however he was already there having left early hoping to get a chance to workout before looking after Eli. I was slightly relieved at his response as I was still very confused by what had occurred earlier.

It didn't take me long to drive to the arena and was soon checking in with security before making my way to the men's locker rooms. I was outside the main locker room and just a few feet from Dave's locker room when 'King' Booker appeared,

"Jamison, it is so great to see you again. Is this your little boy? Elijah is it?" He cooed in a sickeningly sleazy voice.

"MY NAME IS ELI!" My son announced angrily glaring at the other man.

"Yea, whatever. So Jamison may I call you Jamie?"

"No"

"Cute, so anyway Jamie, I heard that Batista will look after Elijah…"
"Its ELI" My son growled once again causing me to adjust the way I was holding him.

"Yes Dave looks after Eli while I work, why?" I asked curtly not liking the way things might have been heading, I had always been cautious of men, but since my relationship with Conner I was seriously sceptical not trusting any man until they proved that they were truly more than some random sleaze.

"I thought that perhaps you could dump that boy on Batista for the entire and you and I could go out for dinner and have a bit of fun, if you know what I mean?" Booker asked running his hand down my arm, causing me to shudder in disgust.

"I'd rather eat glass"

"Oh come on, you know you want the King," he replied leaning in and pressing his lips against mine, they'd barely even touched before I roughly pushed him away.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, you're a married man"

"Ah just a minor detail, now how about you put that brat down and show the King some love," the man said once more making a move towards me.

"I believe I heard the lady turn you down!" A familiar voice echoed throughout the hallway.

"DAVIE!" My, close to tears, son cried out and I let out the breath that I didn't even realise I had been holding.

"Jamie take Eli to my locker room. I'll be there in a minute" Dave said patting my son's back slightly, I could only nod before following the man's dirrections. As I closed the door blocking us from Booker's vision I heard Dave saying how he had told Booker to stay away from me before hearing what sounded a lot like a body being slammed against a wall and someone yelping in pain.

"DAVIE!" Eli cried out in panic, terrified that the one being injured was Dave. I sat down and hugged my son close to my chest rocking him as he cried. I felt so guilty, I didn't mean for Dave to get caught up in my life or to see what was occurring with Booker, if Dave got hurt I would never be able to forgive myself

"Are you two ok?" Dave's deep voice echoed through empty room,

"DAVIE!" Eli cried jumping off my lap and running to the man, who, in response, picked my son up holding him close.

"Yea we're fine, just a little shaken. You didn't have to get involved, I could have dealt with that loser myself" I replied, my voice shaking slightly.

"I need to get to the photography area. I know you're meant to look after Eli but I think I'd rather keep him with me tonight."

"Are you sure? I would love to look after him and I promise you nothing will happen to the boy. I'll keep him with me and when I have my match 'Taker and Kane will look after him. He'll be 110 safe; no one messes with the brothers of destruction. Besides you can't work with a three year old running around."

"I don't know, I'd be much more comfortable if he was with me."

"I promise you that he'll be ok. Booker is bound to be on the way to the emergency room so he won't bug you tonight. Now let us walk you where you need to go." I sighed; I knew I that if I really put my foot down I would win the argument but Dave was right, I couldn't work with Eli running around and constantly wanting my attention. Based on Dave's comment and the way he looked, it was Booker's not Dave's body that we heard slamming against the wall. I couldn't believe that Dave would step in and defend me, someone he barely knew.

"Mommy please let me stay with Davie, PLEASE!" My son begged once more wrapping his arms around Dave's great chest.

"Alright, alright. But promise me nothing will happen to him"

"I promise on my life that your son will be safe. Now let's get you where you need to go," Dave smiled slightly squeezing my shoulder and directing me out of his locker room and down the hall.
