Right Where We Left Off

Chapter 9

When John and Paige arrived at the arena, they were once again running late. "Are you always late or am I just bad luck?" She asked as they were walking through the parking lot. She was a few feet behind John, walking a bit slower because she had her compact out and was putting some lip gloss on her lips.

"Neither. We just have to get into the swing of things." He said, holding the door open for her to enter the arena. She walked with him so he could drop his bag off in his locker room then she followed him to guerrilla, where he was about to go out to talk some smack to his opponent later that night. He dropped her off in front of a TV before walking further along to where he was supposed to be. She looked around and saw a few people moving quickly down the halls but that was pretty much it. She crossed her arms over her chest and walked back a few feet so her back was resting against the wall. She focused her attention on the TV and waited for John to go out.

"Hey, hey. Look who's all dressed up." She heard from her left. She turned and smiled when she saw Dave walking towards her with someone walking next to him. She pushed herself off the wall and met them half way, greeting Dave with a hug.

"I'm not dressed up." She said, looking down at her outfit.

"Sure you aren't. What's the occasion?" Dave asked with a laugh.

"I'm not dressed up." She said again. "There's no occasion."

Dave just shook his head in denial then gestured to his friend. "Paige, this is my friend, Adam Copeland. Adam, this is Paige, John's new assistant."

She smiled at Adam and shook his hand. "Hey, nice to meet you."

"Likewise." He said with an amazing smirk as he pressed a kiss the back of her hand. She was seriously wondering if there was something in the water here that made all these wrestlers incredibly good looking.

"So what are you guys up to?" She asked.

"We were just walking around, passing time." Dave answered.

"Are you wrestling tonight?" She asked.

"Well, I'm on smack down, which doesn't tape until tomorrow." Adam said, running a hand through his hair.

She nodded. "So you just come and hang out with the guys?"

"Pretty much." He answered and they laughed.

"I'm going to be on later tonight." Dave said.

She nodded and looked at the TV, where John was on. "Oh shoot! I'm missing it." She gave the TV her full attention and watched as John was talking to another wrestler. Once it was over and John went back stage, she turned and saw Dave and Adam were right behind her, also watching the show. "Sorry." She said, pushing her bangs out of her eyes.

"It's cool." Dave said, leaning against the wall.

"So how did you become John's assistant?" Adam asked curiously.

"I grew up with John and last week we ran into each other at our high school reunion. I have been looking for a job for a while but hadn't had any luck. John mentioned he needed a new assistant and I have experience in that so I took the job." She explained.

"Oh yeah? That's cool. Were you two good friends?" He asked.

"You could say that," She smirked and saw Dave smirk too. "We actually used to date."

Adam's eyes grew a bit wide and then he smiled. "Really? That's something." He had to admit, he didn't see that coming. "If you don't mind me asking, how long did you two date?"

"Three and a half years." John answered before Paige could as he approached them. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and smiled at the guys. "Hey guys."

"How you doing man?" Adam asked, reaching a hand to shake his hand.

"Doing good, doing good. How've you been? Haven't seen you in a while." John said with a smile.

"I'm doing alright. The last injury I had put me on the shelf for a while." Adam said sadly. "I'm back on smack down tomorrow night but I won't be in the ring for a little while." John nodded in understanding.

"Well I am going to go talk to Vince." John announced then turned to Paige. "You want to come?"

"To a business meeting? No way, too boring." She said. "Unless, I mean, you need me there." She added, almost forgetting she now worked for him.

He laughed. "No, you don't need to be there. Just stay out of trouble." He said and turned around to walk away. "I'll see you guys later." He said with a wave as he walked off.

"So Paige, you sure you aren't trying to impress anyone with that outfit," Dave said with a wink. "are you?"

She shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Now who would I want to impress?"

"I don't know, maybe a certain legend killer." Dave said and her eyes widened. She didn't think he would actually say that out loud, especially with Adam standing right there. She glanced at him and he looked confused.

"Wait, Randy?" Adam asked.

"Yes Randy. Dave thinks I was checking him out today," She said to Adam before turning her attention to Dave. "Which I wasn't. And, no, I'm not trying to impress him. This is just how I dress."

Dave nodded. "Uh-huh." He said before walking away. She shook her head at his retreating frame.

"You know, I'm sure he's just teasing you." Adam said and she turned to him, unsure.

"Are you sure?" She asked and he nodded. "Cause I would really hate for him to go spreading rumors and Randy finding out and feel weird around me."

Adam shook his head. "No, Dave's not like that. He doesn't spread rumors. Besides, most guys in the back know not to take the rumors seriously; most of them are bullshit anyway."

She nodded in relief. "Thanks." She said with a smile.

"No problem." He said, returning the smile. "Hey, so a bunch of us are going to a club after the show, you wouldn't be interested would you?"

Her eyes lit up. "Yeah, that sounds like fun. But, I'll have to check with John first." Adam nodded and she smiled. "Well, I better go find John, see if he needs me."

Adam nodded again. "Yeah, well I'll see you later." Paige started to walked away when he yelled her name again. She looked at him with a smile and he couldn't help but smirk back. "I hope you come tonight."

Her smiled widened. "Me too. Save me a dance." She said before walking away in a search to find John.
