She blows the sweet smelling smoke his way and he inhales. Jessica makes a face like they were the most disgusting thing she'd ever seen.
Jessica: "I hate smokers."
Roxy: "No you don't. You love me like a sister otherwise you wouldn't keep reminding me how dangerous these damn things are every single time I smoke one."
Jon: "I love a woman who isn't afraid of danger and loves to get physical. Why haven't we met before?"
Roxy: "Who knows? It was fated this way. Everything happens for a reason."
Jon: "I believe that too. So, since it was fated that we meet in an alley smoking. I think it's only appropriate that I ask you if you'd like to go with me to grab a beer or something later."
Roxy: "I would love to, but wouldn't Sammy get jealous?"
Jon: "Fuck Sammy. He's got a girlfriend."
Roxy: "A girlfriend? Are you sure about that? He has a reputation for taking ring rats home with him."
Jon: "So? He's got to do what he's got to do. We're not always around the same women twice. It's hard to have a relationship for any long period of time with anyone."
Jessica: "This fool has a rep too."
Mox starts smiling and flicks the butt of his cigarette into the gutter near- by.
Roxy: "Seriously Jess? Are you trying to kill my action here?"
Jessica: "By all means, Rox. Knock yourself out. If you're into crazy lunatics, he's all yours."
Jon: "You love me or you wouldn't talk about me."
Jessica: "Dude, I don't even know you. We wrestle the same circuit. That's all we have in common."
Jon: "Nope. We obviously have good taste in friends too."
He puts his arm around Roxy and she smiles.
Roxy: "He's got you there, Jess."
Jessica: "Well, I don't know about you, but I could use a shower and a change of clothes. I'm going to head back to the house. Are you coming or are you going to stay here and hang with Mox?"
Roxy: "I think I'm going to hang with Mox if that's OK with Mox."
Jon: "Yeah. Sure, go for it."
Jessica: "All right, I'm out of here then. I'll catch you later. You'd better call me or text me or something and let me know what's going on later. House rules if you come in after midnight."
Roxy: "Yes Mother. I'll let you know what I'm doing."
Jessica: "Thank you. You know Maddie and I worry when you don't come back to the house. I'm not trying to be your mother. I just give a damn about what happens to you."
Roxy: "Thank you for giving a damn. Tell Maddie to stand down."
Jessica: "All right, girl. I'll see you later."
Roxy: "Later."
Jessica gets in her car and drives to the house Maddie, Roxy ad her share together.
Jon: "So what's the chick's deal?"
He pulls out another cigarette and starts tapping it against the box. So, instinctively Roxy pulls out one of her own.
Roxy: "Who, Jess?"
Jon: "Yeah. What's up with Jess? Why is she all mother hen over you if I'm allowed to ask you that?"
Roxy: "Yes. You're allowed to ask me that and Jessica is like the sister I never had. We've known each other pretty much since high school and she watches out for me especially when new guys come around. We have each- others back like that. Maddie is like that too, but Maddie comes from a different place then Jess."
Jon: "I take it Maddie must be your other roommate."
Roxy: "Yes. She also is an independent wrestler. She goes by Madison "Main Street" Gilbert and we all call her Maddie for short."
Jon: "Ok, I know who she is. I didn't realize you all lived together and went to school together."
Roxy: "Like I said, they're like the sisters I never had. They were the only two females I knew who wanted to be wrestlers and actually helped me pursue my dream rather than talked me down because I chose a non-desk profession. Don't get me wrong, I have other female friends I just bonded more with guys."
Jon: "I know how that is. You just relate more to guys because women look at you as either competition or just plain weird because you're into something so tomboy."
He lights his cigarette and offers the lighter to Roxy who takes it and lights hers as well.
Roxy: "That's it in a nut shell and most guys look at me as a bad ass. They love the idea of being with the next WWE Diva until they actually realize what becoming the next WWE Diva entails and then it's "Why are you gone so many days? Why do you have to be away so much?" Blah blah blah. Or the other extreme end is your friend Sammy with his "You're a cheating bitch. Who'd you fuck to get on the roster?" or thinking just because I like to wrestle and I'm strong that I must be a lesbian. The sooner you guys realize that we women don't use our sexuality to get to the top, the better off you all will be and just because we are strong and muscular doesn't mean we don't like to roll around with men. I obviously love to wrestle both or I wouldn't be here."
Jon: "You wrestle both, but do you date both."
Roxy: "Would you like to go for a walk? I'm sure there's somewhere we could go hang out that's better than this alley."
Jon: "Yeah sure."
He puts his arm around her and she puts her arm around him like they've known each other for years.
Jon: "You know I do have a truck if you want to drive somewhere."
Roxy: "Good to know. I want to walk with you before I get into a truck with you."
Jon: "All right. There's a park up the street a little ways or do you want to go for a longer walk then that because I know a place that has trails we could walk and that place has street lights and stuff if we decide to hang out after the sun goes down."
Roxy: "I say we go to the place that has street lights and stuff so we can hang out after the sun goes down."
Jon: "That's my girl."
Roxy took a drag off her clove and attempted to try to smell what type of cologne Mox had on after the match because he smelled really good the closer she walked to him. He'd put on a black shirt to go with his jeans and he still had that leather jacket, but the rest of his gear was in his truck she assumed. So, there was just the two of them alone together walking down the street in Ohio. The night was very mild and a light breeze was blowing. She was glad she decided to shower and changed in that make shift locker room area because she'd feel really self- conscious about being this close with a guy fresh out of the ring. She wanted to grab his ass, but thought that might be a little forward for a first time walk, but the way Mox carried himself it wouldn't be wrong. He might just think she was after a dark spot to have sex if she led with an ass grab. He totally dropped the whole "I'm crazy as hell" act and seemed to be sober. She realized he only acted like he was drunk out there half the time.
