| *Chapter 18* One night during Raw I was watching Trish's match. Her relationship with Hurricane was coming along well. They were not necessarily a couple romantically, but they were always together onscreen. All of a sudden I heard someone walk up behind me. I turned around to see Vince McMahon standing there. Now, I have been in the WWE for almost 2 months so I was used to seeing and talking with Vince, but it still sometimes takes my breath away. Vince said, "So Jessica, how do you feel about starting that fued with Trish now?" I was a little taken aback. "Now?? Well, I'm ready. If you feel now is the time and Trish is fine with it, let's do it!" "That's just what I wanted to hear. I want you and Jeff to fued with Trish and the Hurricane for a while, and then we'll make it just you and Trish. But I would really like to develop your relationship with Jeff. I know we've touched lightly on this before, but I'm more serious about it now. Just hear me out, OK?" Both Jeff and I agreed. "I think the fans are starting to wonder how long you two can stay friend before jumping into bed with each other. Personally, I would like to see you two onscreen as a couple. I think the fans would like it. Every girl would want to be you Jessica, and every guy would want to be Jeff. It would keep the fans itnerested in your relationship. And I think it would work better with you and Jeff as a couple against Trish and Shane. It would give you that stronger bond. What do you guys think?" "I think it's great Vince." Jeff said, which really took me by surprise. "How about you Jessica?" Vince asked. ""Ummm, yeah. If Jeff's cool with it then so am I." I couldn't believe I had just agreed to that. But Vince seemed really happy, and it sounded like he had plans for this storyline. After Vince left Jeff and I talked about the idea. Jeff said, "Hey I think it'll be great for our characters." "Yeah I'm cool with that. I'm wondering what I'm gonna tell Shannon." I said. "Oh are you guys still dating?" "Well yeah. Actually..... you know I'm not sure!? The last time I saw him in Louisville he made it sound like we were still gonna be together. Man I'm actually confused!" "Well when was the last time you talked to him?" "Umm, I think it was about 3 weeks ago..." "It's been a while." "Yeah." "I'd say that's your first clue right there. Maybe you should call him and straiten everything out. You have to have a clear conscience before we can progress with this storyline." "Yeah I know. I'll call him after Raw tonight. It's just we don't talk about wrestling a lot, it makes me feel uncomfortable because I know how much he wants to be where I am." "Well I know Shannon well, and he's not the type to get jealous. Even if you are having an onscreen relationship for your character. I think if you guys decide you still want to date then there's no one else he'd rather have you with on TV then me. Ya know what I mean." "Yeah. Thanx Jeff, I'll definitely call him tongiht and figure this all out." "Hey no problem babe. What are friends for?" He smirked at me in his adorable way and we hugged. |
