Chapter 11
Half an hour later, Jeff parked his car in Jessica's driveway and got out. He was pissed off with her for leaving, but what could he do. He wanted her safe and she went and did stuff by leaving the arena. Jeff walked up the path and up the front porch steps. He opened the front door and walked into the house. He headed straight for the kitchen and saw Jessica.
"You know I'm pissed right now." Jeff said.
"I know and I'm sorry you are mad but I needed to do this." Jessica replied.
"What exactly is this?" Jeff asked.
Well, you put off your plans and I made my own." Jessica answered.
"Jess, I want you safe and being at the arena would have insured that." Jeff said.
"Not really. Kurt has it out for me more than he did before. No matter what he's gonna find a way to use me against you." Jessica replied.
"Then tell me all you know." Jeff said.
"What more do you need to know about me." Jessica asked.
"Anything you want to tell me if fine." Jeff answered.
"A few years ago, I found out I'm related to Diamond Dallas Page. After I met him, out relationship got stronger then I met my dad and we didn't get on well together and I don't think we will. As Kevin told you I grew up in a foster home and being the quiet shy girl, they took advantage of me." Jessica said.
"So it was bad for you?" Jeff asked.
"Bad doesn't describe it. I was the oldest and had to take care of everything and everyone. They basically wanted a slave and got one for nothing." Jessica answered.
"That is definitely worse than bad." Jeff said.
"Things changed when they found out who my uncle was." Jessica replied.
"Jess, look things got better." Jeff said.
"If you say so." Jessica replied.
"So what did you make." Jeff asked.
"Nothing fancy, since I didn't have a lot of time." Jessica answered.
Jeff sat down at the table and Jessica set a plate in front of him. Jessica sat down and started eating.
"So care to explain the whole baby girl thing?" Jeff asked.
"Almost everyone calls me that. It started when I got here the first day. I ran into LAX and they always call me that. Kevin even calls me that and it just stuck. Now with Josh and Patrick, they call me whatever they want depending on their mood." Jessica answered.
"So what is the relationship with LAX?" Jeff asked.
"Just friends. But I do cook for them once a week unless it's a special occasion." Jessica answered.
"How did you get that job." Jeff asked.
"It's payment for them protecting me when I'm at the arena." Jessica answered.
They continued eating and nothing was being said. Jessica got up and started washing the dishes.
"Jessica, what's wrong?" Jeff asked.
"Nothing. I just want to have the dishes done before I go to bed." Jessica answered.
"But are you going after the dishes are done?" Jeff asked.
"Not just yet. I was gonna finish the dishes and then head outside to sit on the porch swing." Jessica answered.
Jessica did just that. She finished the dishes then headed outside and sat on the porch swing. Jeff soon followed.
"Jess, I know something's wrong. What is it?" Jeff asked.
"Nothing, I swear. I'm just a little tired." Jessica answered.
"I still want to take you out." Jeff said.
"I know but when exactly." Jessica replied.
"Soon, I promise." Jeff said.
"Won't it look funny that you and I are dating before the story line even goes that far?" Jessica asked.
"Maybe but I don't care." Jeff answered.
"So you gonna continue with it?" Jessica asked.
"What." Jeff answered.
"The story line." Jessica said.
"Only if you want to. I know you're not comfortable with doing it." Jeff replied.
"I may not be comfortable with it but I think it's a good way to see more of each other." Jessica said.
"I like the way you think." Jeff replied.
"So what else is planned for the story line?" Jessica asked.
"I was hoping you'd have some ideas for it." Jeff answered.
"Well next should be where I come to see you again and you're happy about it." Jessica said.
"We can start out in my office with some sort of conversation." Jeff replied.
"We can work on that later but now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed." Jessica said.
Jessica got up off of the porch swing and headed back inside and upstairs to bed. Jeff soon followed making sure he locked up before he headed to walked into the bedroom soon after Jessica had finished changing.
"Goodnight." Jessica said.
She got under the covers and turned out her bedside lamp. Jeff followed suit. They both soon fell asleep.
