Eve's advice rang in his head as he walked out of the arena and into the parking garage.. he found Zara talking to AJ and to Kaitlyn of course, and scowling for a moment, because he hated both of the women she was talking to, he knew that they were Z's best friends, they'd see right through him and say something to her, fuck this all up for him..

He forced himself to not scowl as he walked towards her, leaned against the black 2012 Dodge Challenger, and clearing his throat, he said quietly, "About earlier.. I wanted to apologize, Zara. It's just.."

"You're an asshole?" Zara inquired, her brow raised, trying to figure out if he were really sorry, or just saying he was sorry to make her think he was a nice guy. But she couldn't outwardly tell by the expression on his face or his body language, so she sighed and said "Sorry, that was bitchy, it's just.."

Jack started to point out that yes, it was bitchy, and then stopped himself again, Eve's advice ringing in his ears. He pretended to look sorry for being a jerk earlier, making all those sexual gestures towards her (he kind of was, knowing what he knew about her now, thanks to Dolph giving him an ear full and a threat that Jack was pretty sure came directly from AJ, Dolph's current 'girlfriend') and then finished with, "It's just you're so damn pretty.. And I get carried away, Zara, I really do. Has nobody ever told you that?"

Kaitlyn eyed Jack suspiciously. Normally he was rude, offensive and a bit of, no, strike that, a huge asshole. Was he really being sincere? Even she couldn't tell if he were lying to her younger best friend or not by just looking at him so she elbowed AJ who was texting Dolph to ask what the hell happened to the "talk" they were supposed to have, even asking if she'd have to get Big E to do it or do it herself.

The two of them worried about Zara, because she really was the baby on the roster, at 22, she was the youngest Diva on the lineup currently, so nearly all of the friendlies, Natalya, Kaitlyn, AJ and Layla of course, worried about her, because they knew that Eve could really give two shits less about her younger sister, or so they all thought..

At least she'd never acted as if she liked Zara.

In fact, AJ often said that Eve seemed almost jealous of Zara, and blamed Zara for her father's marriage ending, because if Zara's mother hadn't shown up with Zara, her own would never have known what happened behind her back.

Zara raised a brow, her fingers running through her hair as she shook her head and said "No, they haven't. But you can cut the crap now, because I'm not." as she looked at him, confused. What was with his moods tonight? One minute he was being a borderline possessive and slightly rough yet not overly abusive jerk and then he'd do something like this.

"It's not crap, hon, it's me being honest. Why would I lie to ya?" Jack said as Kaitlyn and AJ spoke up starting to name off reasons as they stood in front of her, arms crossed, Kaitlyn pointing to his vehicle and telling him to get lost.

Jack glared at them but held his calm.

Meanwhile, Eve saw Zack coming out of the men's showers and headed him off, practically pinning him in a doorway as she looked up at him and raked her hand through his hair, giving him a soft smile. She knew he went insane for those.

"I missed you."

"Yeah? Well I don't miss you." Zack muttered as he looked at her, surprised that he wasn't nearly as hurt as he had been when they'd broken up, when he caught her with John Cena.

"Not even a little?" Eve pouted as she looked at him, sighed and then hung her head, pretending to be hurt and ashamed of what she'd done to end things between them then.

"Actually, not at all, lately."

Her head shot up as he looked down at his phone, laughed at something and then slid it into his pocket.

"What was that?"

"This chick, she's on Twitter, her name's ZackRydersAnon.. She sends me these cute messages sometimes. People do want me, Eve, and I didn't realize that until I finally got rid of you." Zack said as he smirked at her, satisfied that he'd put her in her place, hurt her like she'd hurt him back then. Eve's face indicated that his words had in fact hit their intended mark, and he leaned in and said "Oh and by the way.. McMahon told me he didn't tell you to valet for me, so whatever it is you're up to? Don't even try it. This ship sailed." before walking away down the hallway.

Eve glared at his retreating back and then grumbled. She should have known he'd go and talk to McMahon when she came down to the ring side earlier and told that lie. Next time, she'd have to be more careful.

"I'm not under your skin yet.. But I will be Zack.. I know what you like and what you want. And one way or another, I will get you back. Zara's not nearly enough woman for you." Eve muttered as she laughed and added under her breath, "Even if I don't really want you back you loser, this is worth it if for nothing more than to watch my little sister finally realize that she's not always going to be the center of attention."

She turned on her heels and walked away, going out to her car. On her way out, she happened to see Zack standing against his SUV, arms crossed, watching Jack Swagger, who apparently, was taking her advice and pouring on some of that 'good ol' boy' charm as she'd suggested to him earlier. Zack, she noticed, looked like he wanted to bash Jack's brains in, and Zara looked like she'd puke at any second, and kept shooting looks at Zack when noone was looking..

"This has to work. I will NOT let my little sister take what belonged to me first. I won't."
