Chapter 22 Mixed emotions

Jamie let out a breath of frustrated air, she liked the way it felt so much she did it again. Another long afternoon and she was still stuck with Drew Mcintyre going over stuff she had already written on her hand. Drew honestly believed he was doing the right thing by going over it. As his scottish accent washed over her Jamie couldn't help but think of John, he had been acting funny even if he said otherwise. Jamie (to a degree) could see it, she just wished that others would stop counting her out because of her brain.

"Look whatever your name is, I know how to do my job so shut your damn pie-hole and get me some energy" Jamie finally snapped at the sinister scottsman. Drew looked at her somewhat stunned, of all the words they had exchanged Jamie had never shown any sort of anger and this just confused and enraged him at the same time.

"Jamie" he started noting her drooping eyes. Drew figured she was tired and he knew that when women got tired they got cranky, half a brain or not.

"Jesus on toast I don't need your life story, just get me some energy" Jamie snapped again.

"You want an energy drink?"

"Yes"

"To give you more energy?" Drew was trying to figure how that worked into what he was saying.

"Nah to give me less energy, I'm on an energy diet. Of course to give me more energy"

Drew sighed, taking the young girl by the hand he pulled her out of the room "Alright I'll get your drink and then you can concentrate on what I'm sayin, deal?"

Jamie was no longer listening, shaking out of his grip she marched her way right up to John. "We need to talk"

"Can it wait, I don't have much time" John answered noting that Jamie should be working or at least thats what Drew was furiously mouthing behind her back.

"You have to make time, this is important" Jamie stomped her foot at him. She needed to get this out before she forgot. Drew threw his hands up in frustration "Fine talk to her then can we get back to work?"

Jamie looked at her hand, her list alreay almost completed, "I only got one more thing to do and as long as I do before the show ends I'm safe and I have a reminder in place to make sure I do it and where are we on the energy?"

Drew just shook his head walking away leaving John to deal with his girlfriend.

Johns POV

Jamie pulled me into an empty room and made me sit on the bench, she failed to notice Kofi sitting there as well. "We have to talk" Jamie started as she paced the room. Kofi tried not to laugh as I gave him the signal to run and to run fast. At least he could leave. Jamie noticed him slip out the door letting us be alone. "Why was he in here?"

"Its his locker room Jamie" I pointed out trying not to laugh as she looked at the sign on the door.

"Would you look at that" Her face bursting into that beautiful smile as her fingers traced over his name. Shaking herself she shut and locked the door. This was the worst time to feel turned on. "Anyways we need to talk" Jamie said seriously pulling out her pink diary covered in orange Cenation logos. I had never read it but I knew it was her way of remebering what her days were like previously, she wrote in it everyday at the same time. Flicking to a random page she held it out to me to see, it was blank but the number had been circled. I was starting to think I had missed some sort of annversairy. "Tell me what that number is"

"Nine"

She flicked through the book again "And this number?"

"Thirteen. Jamie what is this about?"

"I really thought it was longer" Jamie frowned at herself as she put the book back in her pocket, "For four days you have been acting weird and don't tell me you haven't because I know you have. If I notice it then you haven't been very subtle"

I was lost for words at my own careless mistake, I knew Jamie was smarter than people realised but I still tried stupid tricks so she wouldn't see that I was still digging about her accident amonst planning other things.

"Well why have you been acting weird. Is it another woman?" Jamie gasped in horror "Oh my God! Your getting Centon action and your not telling me because you know I would interrupt and tell shiny man he's doing it wrong! Oh how could you John!"

I burst out laughing, I couldn't help it. Her little conclusion was too funny to ignore. Jamie however looked at me annoyed "And now your laughing at me."

I held up my hand as I kept laughing, to her credit she waited patiently as I finally calmed down. Pulling her into my lap I kissed her temple lovingly. "You totally have the wrong end of the stick"

"Which end do you have?" Jamie asked confused, guess it was her way of saying well tell me the truth.

"Jamie do you know what tomorrow is?"

"Thursday?"

"Yes its also the day we get to go home for a few days"

"Oh I like home" Jamie bounced in my lap, seriously it wasn't helping my not get aroused state.

"So do I. The reason I was acting funny was because I wanted to ask you something but wasn't sure how to" I had planned to ask her this but I just made it out to be a big deal so she wouldn't know I was snooping, I knew she wouldn't like it if she knew I was doubting her heroine.

"What did you want to ask?"

"I was going to ask you to move in with me. So my home would become our home"

Her eyes widened about ten inches as my question sunk in, I found I was holding my breath as she pondered her answer. "Are you serious? You want to live with me?"

"Yes, yes I do. I hate it when we're at home but your not in my bed I mean house"

Jamie giggled "Yes I will move in with you"

"There is something you should know though Jam"

"What?"

"As my partner slash housemate you will be subjected to being molested anytime day or night."

Jamie looked at me for a full minute before throwing her arms happily "Sweet! Lets start now!"

Raven looked down at the bit of paper in her hand, the words seemed to just scream off the page. She had finished with her bounty for the day and had come home to collect the mail. She regretted ever opening it because it only held bad news. Sighing she pulled out her lighter and began to burn it, if only she could burn the evidence that she ever exsisted but she knew that was impossible even for someone of her skills. Of all the crap to pop up, this decided to rear its ugly head. At last the paper disappeared into ash and Raven put her lighter away. Outside the rain began softly and Raven just looked at it for a moment. Pulling out her cellphone she made that text, the one she was trying to avoid. Instantly she got one back and Raven hated it that it bought a smile to her face. Pulling off her shoes and socks she grabbed her keys and headed into the rain. Raven could of easily drove but walking seemed to give her a chance to think, her thoughts all consumed with her latest decison and Randy. Hopefully no one would hold it against her. Fifteen minutes later and soaked right to the bone she found herself staring at his hotel room door. Gathering all her courage she knocked gently on his door and in a few seconds she was staring into the cold blue eyes of the Viper himself.

"Raven" He looked at the small soaked girl in surprise, he wasn't expecting this but he was glad for it.

"Hey I really need to ask you something" Raven looked at him hoping deep down that he would he say yes. "Can I be selfish, just for tonight?"

He just looked at her oddly "Sure"

Raven lent up and kissed him passionately her tongue prying open his lips with skill. Randy forgot all about her weird question, just happy to have her in his arms he pulled her into the room letting Raven knock it close with her foot.
