A/N: I only own the OC

Thank you for reviewing.

"So you and Wardlow are talking?" Phil asked me. He was in town for a taping, and staying with me. I gave him a confused look.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"Daniel said he was in your office and it was pretty obvious you were flirting with each other." He said and I rolled my eyes. He was talking about when Daniel had stayed over night for his meeting.

"Yeah, well, Daniel told me that you were the reason no one wanted to date me while we were both in the WWE." I shot back and he looked surprised. He had been caught.

"Rae, I just didn't want some dumb fuck to hurt you. I knew most of those guys and I can tell you most of them weren't worth your time." He said and I sighed.

"I still wanted the chance." I said and he nodded.

"I will try not to be the protective older brother all the time." He said and I nodded.

"Thank you, now what the hell do you want for dinner?" I asked him for the 3rd time this afternoon.

Wardlow POV

I was backstage with MJF. We had to go out soon. I was glad when I was no longer going to be his bodyguard and take the title from him. He wasn't a bad guy, but he wasn't someone I cared for all the time.

"Gimme a second." He said when we walked towards the costume area. I saw Rae and smirked knowing he was about to get turned down. I watched as he tried to talk to her and she ignored him.

He walked back over and was clearly annoyed.

"What the fuck! All women want me." He said.

"Apparently not." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Ok, jackass. Give it a shot." He said to me and I shrugged. I walked over to Rae and she smiled when she saw me. She was in some black ripped jeans and a faded tye dye tshirt.

"MJF told me to see if I could get you to talk to me." I said and she smirked.

"Play along?" She said and I nodded. She instantly hugged and I hugged her back. He glanced over and he was pissed.

"Pretty sure he's got steam coming out of his ears." I said to her as she chuckled.

"Good. He walked over and tried to tell me that we were having dinner tonight." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"What about dinner with me?" I asked her and she looked surprised, but nodded.

"Yeah, just find me after the show." She said and I smiled at her.

"Gimme your phone." She said and I did it. She put her number in my phone, and sent herself a message.

"Good luck tonight." She said and I nodded before I walked back to MJF.

"Ass." He said before we got ready to go out.

Phil POV

I walked over to Rae's area and she was smiling.

"You, me, Joe... dinner." I said and she shook her head no.

"I made plans." She said and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"With?" I asked her.

"Wardlow." She said and I nodded.

"Don't... this isn't WWE and I am allowed to make my own mistakes." She reminded me and I put my hands up in surrender.

"Fine, but I get to be the big brother if he fucks up." I said and she nodded. I didn't want to overstep but I really wanted to have a conversation with Wardlow.

Jodi POV

I was done cleaning up and checking emails when I got a text on my regular phone. I looked and it was Michael. I told him I would meet him outside in a moment. I texted Phil I was going and he told me to have fun.

I grabbed my stuff and headed to the parking lot. I found him waiting next to his car. He had the trunk still open for my bag, and opened the door for me to get in.

"Thank you." I said and he nodded as he got in.

"You eat sushi?" He asked me as he set up his GPS. I didn't like sushi, but I would make my way through it. He seemed like a nice guy.

We talked about growing up in the Midwest on the way to the restaurant. He was from Ohio and I was from Illinois. He was actually easy to talk to about things.

We found a hibachi place which was better for me. He wanted to sit at the table to see them cook and do the show. We had a private table. The chef was really nice, and Michael was surprised when I caught the food in my mouth when the chef flicked it to me. He was fun to be around and we closed down the hibachi place.

"Thank you again for going with me." He said as he pulled up to the loft.

"I would invite you up but that would mean that I would be subjecting you to my brother." I said and he chuckled. He picked up my hand and kissed the back of it.

"Don't worry about it. I will see you at the next event... and don't forget you already told me we would go out to celebrate." He said and I smiled at him.

"Text me." I said and got out. I waved bye and went into the building. I walked in to Phil and Joe hanging out.

"Hey, he isn't a serial killer." Joe said and I smirked.

"Funny." I said and sat down with them. Joe stayed the night on the couch and I took them to the airport the following morning.

I went into work and saw some roses sitting on my desk.I put my stuff down and pulled out the card.

To a beautiful woman... you can do better than a bodyguard. See ya soon. ~ MJF

I sighed and threw away the card. The flowers were beautiful. He had sent me a mixed bouquet with roses. I put them on the other part of my desk, and opened my computer. I was less than thrilled when I saw I had a meeting with MJF. He really was good at getting on my nerves.
