chapter 1

New Year's Eve, and everyone is at the house partying. It was kind of mine and Niki's way of getting ourselves out of our shells. To catch you up to speed, I had broken up with Andrew. Actually, just a week before. I caught the sorry son of a bitch on my back porch, making out with Stacy. Nice Christmas present, huh? Seeing that I was heading down the road to depression, Niki and I decided a party could lift our spirits.

As for Nikole, she was sporting a brand new 4 karat diamond ring. Monty popped the question on Thanksgiving. She had been doing the planning, and designing her dress since then. She needed a little break from things as much as I did.

As for the party, I played door hostess while Niki and Monty danced. It was kind of heart warming to see that someone's relationship wasn't turning to shit. Lady B was still with Duane. Bonnie and Trip were married, and her belly stuck out far enough that she couldn't see her feet. Their baby boy was due within the month. Dville and Raven seemed a bit on the rocks since Chris Kanyon came on the scene. Sandra kicked Jay to the curb. She had caught him with a ring rat. Lately, she'd been seen with Terry Gerrin (p.k.a. Rhyno). Lady Cat and John Layfield had fallen in love sometime over the summer. And, I must say, my love life improved a little that night.

A few single guys had caught my eye while I was at the door. Sean Waltman, Sean Morley, Chavo and Eddie Guerrero... I had danced with all of them by the end of the night. None of them seemed right. I guess my promise came back to haunt me, because the one I really kept my eyes on all night, was Adam. His smile seemed to have a melting effect on my insides. That was probably the reason why I couldn't come face to face with him. I didn't want to think of acting like a fool in front of a man I had known for six years.

When I went to the kitchen for a wine cooler, the idea of avoiding him went out the window. "Have you been avoiding me, Jade?" I went to stand from leaning into the fridge, and hit my head on the freezer door. I turned around to look at him, while holding the back of my head. He smiled at me. "No, I haven't been avoiding you." Blatant lie. "I've seen you watching me, but always going the opposite direction." I looked at my feet. "Maybe a little bit." "Why?" "I didn't know how to bring up that promise I made to you. About if Andrew and I ever broke up..." "I know which one."

He stepped close enough that I could smell his cologne. Drakar Noir; my favorite. With two fingers under my chin, he tilted my head up, until I was looking in his eyes. "All you had to say was 'remember that promise', and I will do the rest." His lips slowly came down on mine. My toes curled inside my boots once they met. Our kiss was interrupted by a throat being cleared. I looked over Adam's shoulder, and asked, "how the fuck did you get in here?" "I let myself in," Andrew said while staring at Adam. "It didn't take you long to go back to him. Did you ever stop screwing him?" "I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer. I never cheated on you." Andrew stared at me hard. "Yes you did." 'Open mouth; insert foot.' "I explained why that happened." "But you did cheat on me." "Yeah, ok. Whatever. I also told you not to come back."

As soon as I said that, my favorite 'goodbye' song came on; Ain't that Funny? by Jennifer Lopez. I sang him a few bars of it. "You see, it never had to be this way. You never should have played the games you played. Now I'm seeing that you're kinda lame. Knowing how the situation came. Ain't that funny, baby, that you want me, when you had me. Love is crazy. Now I can smile and say Ain't that Funny?"

"Why don't you just leave Jade alone. Go back to that bitch." Andrew stepped up until he was nose to nose with Adam. I ducked out of the room, to get some help. I grabbed Duane, Mark, John and Glen. The shit was just hitting the fan when we all entered the kitchen. Andrew called me a slut, which was the breaking point for Adam. He reared back, and punched Andrew square in the jaw. While he was stunned, Mark and Glen grabbed him from behind, and carried him to the door. The rest of us followed from behind. They threw him from the porch, onto the frost covered grass. "Go home and sleep it off," Mark told him. "If you want to come back to get your shit, call Jade, so she can have someone here with her."

I turned to Adam. "Are you ok? He didn't hit you did he?" "No. I'm fine." I turned around to look at Andrew again. "You can keep that bitch," he said to Adam. A movement in the street caught my eye. I smiled at Andrew, as I continued to sing Ain't that Funny. "Baby, is that your girlfriend? I've got my boyfriend. But maybe we can be friends. Na-na-na-na-na." Andrew picked himself up from the ground, and left with Stacy.

Adam put his arm around my shoulder, and guided me back in the house.

The next morning, the rest of the night was a blur. That didn't bother me at all, though. Waking up next to Adam made anything bad seem miles away. Well, atleast until I went down stairs. The house was a complete disaster. I wandered around the house, looking for anyone that was still there. I found Billy Kidman and his girlfriend, Jaime, sleeping in Joanie's old room, Glen was passed out on the couch, with Sharon in his arms, and when I went into the kitchen, Sandra, Niki, Monty and Terry were sitting at the table drinking coffee.

"Morning, guys," I said to them. I got groans in return. I poured myself a cup of coffee, and joined them. "Who's helping with the clean up detail?" "Jade, I just woke up, and I have a hang over. Don't make me work yet," Sandra said. "I'll buy breakfast and aspirin for anyone who helps." "Count me in," Adam said from behind me. He kissed me on the cheek, and went to pour himself a cup of coffee.

"Alright, I'm in," Sandra groaned. "But, can I get some more coffee in me first?" "Yeah," Terry agreed. "Ok, but the longer it takes us, the longer we all go hungry." "Get up, Sandra. Coffee's bad for you anyways," Niki said. Sharon and Glen stumbled into the kitchen. I gave them the same offer. They also agreed.

****************************

Three hours later, we had all of the trash off the floor, so we decided to leave for food. As soon as I went out to the car, I noticed the car parked down the street. It was Andrew's. "Aw, shit." "What is it," Niki asked. "Andrew is down the street. I'm gonna take the bike out, and see if he follows me. If he does, I'll lose him. If he doesn't, I'll cook for everyone." "Ok. Be careful."

I got the old Pan Head out of the garage, and fired it up. I took off down the street, and sure enough, he followed me. I zig-zagged down the streets, and when I was out of his sight, I parked in an alley, until he passed. Then, I sped off to the house.

When I got back, Niki asked if I lost him. "Yeah, I did. Now let's go eat. I'm starving."

******************************

Unfortunatly, Andrew found us at the resteraunt. I saw him as he walked up to us. "I thought I got rid of you?" "I don't think you'll be able to do that again," he said while waving a wrench in the air. "So help me, if you did anything to that bike..." "What are you going to do to me?" "I won't have to do a damn thing. That's Mark's bike. I let him drive my van home last night."

Andrew's face went deathly pale. He dropped the wrench, and ran out of the resteraunt. "I think he just shit his pants," Adam said. Terry, Glen, Billy and Monty started laughing. "I thought you said you don't remember anything from last night," Sandra said. "I don't, but Mark called while we were cleaning up. He asked if I wanted to drop off the bike, or if I wanted him to drop off the van. I have to go see what that dick head did to his bike."

********************************

An hour later, I was standing in the garage with Mark, Sara, and Adam, looking at the bike. "You do realize I will have to kill him for this," Mark said. There were hoses pulled out, broken spark plugs, broken brake cable, and all of the lights were busted, not to mention the dented gas tank. "I can't say I blame you. If you need any parts, you can get them off of the Sportster." "Nah. I'll take care of it. But, we need a ride home." "I'll take you back to the ranch. I'll hold the bike until you're ready to get it."

Needless to say, it was quite interesting going back on the road. The first night, Andrew had a bad habit of trying to get my attention. "Jade, can I talk to you?" "What do you want?" "I just want to talk to you." He looked at Adam. "Alone." "Hell no. Whatever you want to say, either you can say it in front of Adam, or I'm not going to hear it."

He sighed before he started. "I'm sorry about what I did. I don't know why I even messed with Stacy." "Because she's a slut." "No, she's not. She just... I don't know..." "Look, I don't care what you see in her. You wanted her, you have the freedom to be with her. Now, if you don't mind, I have a match to get ready for. Don't darken my door step, don't come near me at the events, and for God's sake, let me be happy with Adam." "But Jade, I love you." "That ain't gonna work on me. I used to love you. I even gave you a second chance after you tried to kill me! But you did me wrong again, so go fuck yourself."

Mark popped his head out of his dressing room. "Something wrong out here, girl?" He looked at Andrew. "Come here, boy! I'm gonna teach you not to fuck with my bike." Andrew took off down the hall, and Mark gave chase.

********************************

After my match with Molly was over, I went back to the make-shift dressing room. I found a note sitting on top of my bag. It said:

I changed into my street clothes, and went to the docks. As I approached the production truck, I noticed that Adam wasn't around. "What is he up to," I asked myself aloud. The driver's door on the truck opened. I carefully climbed the steps, and stuck my head in. "Adam? Are you in here?" I heard a faint "mmm-hmm" from the sleeper. I got in, and closed the door. As I stepped through the curtain to the sleeper, two hands reached out, grabbed my hips, and pulled me in. I braced myself on his shoulders.

It was completly dark, so I couldn't see his face. As he kissed along my jaw, and down my neck, I tried to run my fingers through his hair, but there was something in it. I reached my hand up, and turned on the sleeper light. It was Andrew that held me in his arms. "GOD DAMN YOU, ANDREW!" I punched him. I tried to get out of the truck, but Andrew grabbed me, and pulled me back in.

The door to the truck opened. "Who's in here," I heard Mark ask. "Mark! Help me!" "Oh, shit!" Mark came through the curtain, and blocked Andrew's main escape route. He pushed me toward Mark, and tried to get out the emergency hatch. "Where do you think you're going?" I knew that voice. I thanked God for that voice. It was Kevin Nash. "He's not going anywhere, chico." I tensed when I heard the second voice. It was Scott Hall.

Mark pushed me behind him, and I escaped through the passenger's door. Behind Hall and Nash, stood the man that was my hero as a little girl; Hulk Hogan. I heard a commotion in the truck, and gasped as I heard Andrew yelp in pain. That drew the attention of the three that stood before me. "Jade," Kevin said. "Are you ok, little one?" "Uh... Yeah." My eyes were fixed on Scott, until Mark pushed Andrew to the ground through the emergency hatch. Scott picked him up from the ground, and held his arms behind his back. I slapped Andrew, then kicked him in the nuts. I repeated until Kevin came up behind me, and pulled me away. As he did, I yelled, "I told you to stay the fuck away from me! I don't love you anymore!"

I wailed my arms, and thrashed my legs trying to get to Andrew. To tell the truth, I wanted to kill him. "Jade, knock it off!" To keep Kevin from yelling in my ear again, I stopped. When I did, I paid attention to the fact that Scott didn't have Andrew anymore. One of the police officers had him in cuffs, and was leading him to the cruiser.

Kevin let me go. "You're not going to attack him while the officer has him, are you," he asked sarcastically. "No, I won't." Mark came over to us. "Are you ok, darlin'?" "Yeah, I'm fine, hun. I'm glad you were out here." "I'm glad I didn't give up looking for him." He kissed my forehead, then said, "I'll go tell the cops what happened on my end."

As soon as he walked off, Scott stepped up. "Jade?" He looked me over in shock. "Jade Marlaise?" "Actually, I use the last name Callaway. Mark is my ex-husband. How have you been, Scott?" "Wait, you two know each other," Kevin asked. "Yeah. We met while I was in wrestling school." I felt the heat rise in my cheeks, and a smile form on my lips. "You look so different..." He ran his fingers through my hair. "What happened to the blonde hair?" "I traded it in for black." He put his thumbs in his belt loops, and stood there looking at me. "You're still beautiful."

"Hey, what's all the excitement out here," Adam called from the hallway. I gave Scott one last look, then ran to Adam. I threw my arms around his neck. He put his arms around me, and said, "baby, it's only been three matches since we've seen each other." I proceeded to tell him everything that happened. When I was finished, he squeezed me even tighter. He noticed I was shivering from the wind blowing through the truck doors, and wrapped me in his coat. "Oh, baby... Let's go back to the dressing room." "I can't. I have to give the police my statement." "Ok. My match is coming up, so I can't stay with you." "That's ok. I think I'm in good hands with Kevin, Scott, Mark, and Hogan." He kissed my forehead, then my lips. "Stay with them, and I'll be out soon."

****************************

Standing in the docks with Scott and Kevin was no help in mine and Adam's relationship. The longer I stayed with Scott, the more my feelings for him came back. Evidently, Kevin could see it happening to both of us. "Ok. Normally, I wouldn't want to know, but what the hell happened between you two? You two look like you want to kiss or fuck." "We were seeing each other almost 8 years ago," I answered. "What? Wait a second..." "Kevin, meet the reason why I got divorced." Scott grabbed my hand, and brought it to his lips. He looked deep into my eyes. "I had every intention of marrying you. When I had to leave WWF, I thought I would never see you again." "When I found out you were married, I really didn't want to see you. You broke my heart, mi amor." "Mija, I'm so sorry."

Two big hands were laid on my shoulders, and gave them a brief massage. "Are you ready to talk to them, darlin'?" "Yeah, I am. Thanks again, Mark. I don't know what I'd do without you." "Don't let Sara hear you say that. She might think you want me back," he laughed. "Fat chance, buddy."

I laid awake all night that night. Even though I was in Adam's arms, I was thinking of Scott. I thought of how gentle he was when he took my virginity, and how our love making became increasingly wild as our relationship went along. He had taken the time to find every spot that made me cringe, sigh, or cry out his name. He was every bit the Latin lover he played as Razor Ramone.

He told the truth that day. I knew he wanted to marry me, but he didn't want to divorce his wife. I thought back to the ring he had given me. We laid in bed that night, and thought of who we'd invite to the wedding. I remembered my last words to him, after his wife had went to the school to find him. "Me has roto el corazon." Roughly translated, "You have broken my heart". That was when I gave him back the ring.

In an attempt to forget about Scott, I got up to go for a walk. "Where are you going, baby?" "I can't sleep, so I thought I'd take a walk. Sorry I woke you up." "It's ok. Be careful. I love you." "I will, and I love you, too." He quickly fell back asleep.

I walked around the outside of the hotel, then I went back in, and into the bar. I ordered a Jack and coke. Before I could even take a sip, Scott sat down next to me. "Couldn't sleep either, huh," I asked him. He pushed a few hairs off my shoulder, before saying, "no. So, who is your man?" "Uh... Edge." "Great wrestler." "Great guy. A single one, too," I said bitterly. "I said I was sorry for that." "No amount of apologies can make me forget how you broke my heart." "I know that. The last three times we've seen each other, you've told me. I can't help it. You made me...stupid." I couldn't help but laugh at him. "That's how I like to see you; laughing."

I sighed. "Laughs have been few and far between since Mark and I split up." "Doesn't 'Edge' make you laugh?" "Adam is incredibly funny. It's just that... He doesn't make me laugh the way you used to." I knew I was asking for trouble when I said that. "It almost sounds like you miss being with me." "I guess I do." "I am single now..." "I'm with Adam." He stared into my eyes, as our lips came closer and closer. I mentally shook myself. "Not here," I whispered. "What floor are you on?" "The fifth." "Adam's asleep on the seventh. Why don't we continue this conversation in your room?" He gave me his charming grin, and raised his eyebrows. "Ok."

Once inside his room, we picked up where we left off. His lips came down softly on mine. I felt just like I did the first time. Excited, scared, intranced, but most of all, in love. He trailed kisses along my jaw, down my neck, and across my collar bone. "Oh, Scott..." "Jade, let me make love to you." "I'll die if you don't."

He picked me up, and my legs instinctively wrapped around his waist. He carried me to the bed, and laid me down. He continued his sweet assault on my body, as he stripped off every inch of clothing I had on. I raised myself up, and tugged his shirt from his jeans. I pulled it off, and threw it to the floor. I let my hands roam over his soft chest hairs, up his neck, and along his stubble covered jaw. He kissed me again, but more urgently, laying me back down on the bed. "Scott, I want you now." "Tell me something, first," he said huskily. "Anything..." "Tell me you love me." "Oh, mi amor, I never stopped loving you."

He stood at the edge of the bed, and I crawled to him. I unbuttoned, and unzipped his jeans. I slid my hand in, and closed it around his length. I slowly stroked him, as I whispered in his ear, "I will always love you, Scott." He pulled his jeans and underwear down, and joined me on the bed. He laid me back down, and entered me. His strokes were slow, yet he completly filled me with each thrust. Our moans mingled in a long, deep kiss.

He rolled onto his back, bringing me with him. I rode him fast and hard, grinding down on his long thick rod. He sat up, and placed kisses all over my face, neck, shoulders, then captured my nipple. "Oh, baby..." "Relax, Jade. Cum for me." Once I did, he came soon after. He gave me a hungry kiss, and flipped me on to my back. When he ended the kiss, I said, "I forgot just how good you are in bed." "Then let me show you again." "I can't. I have to go back to my room." "Don't tell me this was a one night thing." "Why don't you come home with me on our next day off? We can lock ourselves in my bedroom, and have sex all day and night." "Ok. Wednesday, we go to Houston."

He kissed me tenderly, then pulled out of me. I got up, and put my clothes back on. Before I walked out the door, I said, "I love you." "I love you, too." I went back to my room, and slid in bed, without waking Adam up.

The next morning, Adam and I went to the resteraunt for breakfast, before we went to the airport. I hadn't said much of anything to him. I was actually worried about sounding guilty of cheating on him.

"Are you ok, Jade?" "I guess. I just keep thinking of last night..." 'and how I found comfort in Scott's arms, instead of your's,' I thought to myself. "Do you want me to come home with you, and help you get back on track?" "No. I think if I have some down time, maybe help Nikole with the wedding, it'll help me get things back in order." "Are you sure?" "Yeah. Just a little time away from men will help me a lot."

As I said that, I looked up. Scott and Kevin came into the resteraunt. They sat in the booth behind Adam, Scott taking the seat facing me. He winked at me, and smiled. I tried to keep the smile, and heat, from showing on my face. Thankfully, Adam didn't notice.

The waitress brought our food, and we ate in silence. Every now and then, I would look at Scott, and see him looking back at me. I put a show on for him with a link of sausage. By the look on his face, I could tell it had the desired effect. When I bit into it, he acted as if I had bit him. "What in the hell are you doing," Kevin asked him. Scott just pointed at me. When Kevin turned around, I waved at him. "Who are you waving at," Adam asked. "Kevin and Scott. I'm gonna go talk to them for a minute. I'll be right back."

I told Scott to scoot over, then sat. "Thanks for your help last night, guys." "Exactly, what help was that," Scott said in a husky tone. I elbowed him in the ribs. "Adam is right there," I whispered to him. "I don't care, mija. You admitted that you're mine last night."

"Uh... Hello. I'm here. Don't make me sick before breakfast," Kevin said. "Sorry, Big Kev," Scott said while laughing. "I'll see you guys later. Are you still coming tomorrow?" "Of course." "Great. Thanks again for helping Mark with Andrew." I kissed Scott's cheek, then went back to the table with Adam.

That night, as Adam and I were getting ready for the house show, I told him, "we need to have a talk after the show." "About last night?" "It has something to do with it." "Ok. We can go to the hotel and talk." "Umm... I think we should talk here." "Ok. After our matches." "Alright. You're up in 5 minutes." "Alright. I'm out of here." I finished getting ready for my match with Torrie, then went to look for Scott.

I found the nWo dressing room, and knocked. "Come in," I heard from the other side. "Is everyone decent?" "We have pants on so far," Kevin joked. As I went in, I saw Hogan lacing his boots. "Mr. Hogan, it is nice to finally meet you. My name is Jade." "Terry, and I'm glad you can smile after last night." "I think Scott has something to do with that," Kevin chimed in. "Speaking of Scott, I came in here looking for him." "Hola, chica."

He was coming out of the bathroom from taking a cold shower, dressed in his wrestling gear. "Baby, you're going to catch a cold doing that in the winter." "You can be my personal nurse," he said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Can I talk to you alone for a minute?" "Sure." He guided me into the bathroom, and closed the door. "Will you wait for me after the show?" "Yeah. What's up?" "I'm going to tell Adam, and get it over with." "Um... I'm sharing a room with Kev tonight..." "Nobody said we had to get naked, or have sex. We have all day tomorrow for that." "Let's ok it with Kev." "Let me handle that," I said with a sly grin.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I noticed that Terry had left. I decided to put a little charm into talking to Kevin. I sat on his lap, and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "Um... Big Sexy, do you mind having another roommate for the night?" He pulled me against his chest, and said, "I knew you'd come around, but what would Scott say about us sleeping together?" "Kevin! I meant me sleeping with Scott." "Oh. Ok. So, you two are getting back together?" I looked up at Scott, as he stood at the end of the couch. "I hope we're more than a three night thing."

"I have something to show you. I don't think Kev even knew about this." He reached into his shorts. "Will you keep that in there? I don't want to see," Kevin said. Scott pulled out the string, and attached to it was something shiny. He untied his trunks, and pulled the shiny piece off. "I've had this tied to my trunks since you gave it back to me." He handed it to me. It was the engagement ring he had given me eight years before. "Oh, Scott..." "Do you still want to marry me?" I jumped off of Kevin's lap, and into Scott's arms. "Will you have me, and hold me, and make love to me every night until we die from exhaustion?" "Yes." "Then, yes, I still want to marry you." "Even though I'm old?" "You're not old. No matter what age you are, you're my man, and I love you." Scott took the ring from my hand, and slid it on my left ring finger.

"You two are gonna make me sick again," Kevin joked. "Yeah, like I didn't have to sit through this with you and your wife," Scott shot back. "Ex-wife. We're not back together yet."

Later that evening, as I was in the ring with Torrie, my happiness went out the window. As I picked her up for a scoop slam, moans and whimpers came over the sound system. Then, I heard, "Oh, Scott..." "Jade, let me make love to you." "I'll die if you don't." The torture didn't end there, for a moment later, I heard, "Scott, I want you now." "Tell me something, first." "Anything..." "Tell me you love me." "Oh, mi amor, I never stopped loving you."

As I stood in shock, Torrie came up from behind, made me fall backwards, and rolled me up for the pin and win. By that point, I didn't care whether I won or lost. I was worried about Adam's feelings being hurt, Scott being upset, and finding out who had done something so cruel. But, the cruelty wasn't over yet. "Do you still want to marry me?" "Will you have me, and hold me, and make love to me every night until we die from exhaustion?" "Yes." "Then, yes, I still want to marry you."

My worry over Adam's feelings heightened when I saw him come out on stage. The crowd popped, but they wouldn't have, if they knew how serious this was. "What the hell was that?" I got a mic from Lillian. "That's what I needed to talk to you about. I'm so sorry, Adam." "You're right; you are sorry." "Excuse me, chico. What did you just call my fiance'e?" "Scott, please don't," I pleaded. "I won't hurt him - much."

As the crowd came to a confused silence, and Scott and Adam stared at each other, laughter came through the speakers. Then, I heard it behind me, in the ring. I turned around to see Andrew. "Life's a bitch, and then you're dumped by one." He dropped the mic, kicked me in the stomach, and gave me a power bomb.

I heard Adam and Scott hit the mat at the same time. Adam attacked Andrew, while Scott came to my side to check on me. "Mija, are you ok?" "I'll be fine, mi amor. Just let me lay here a moment." "I can't let you. They're fighting, and I don't want you to get stepped on. Wrap your arms around my neck." I did, and he lifted me off the mat, and carried me to the back. Vince was waiting for us. "I'm going out there to get Adam and Andrew. I want you two to meet us in my office."

Fifteen minutes later, Vince went into his office, followed by Andrew and Adam. I stood to get in Andrew's face. "All of you, sit your asses down," Vince yelled at us. We obeyed.

"Scott, you haven't even had a match since your return, and you're already causing problems." "He wasn't the cause of this. I am," I said. "Andrew is pissed because I dumped him. Scott and I got back together last night, and I hadn't told Adam. I was going to tell him after our matches tonight." "Jade, Jade, Jade... What am I going to do with you? How many times has your personal life interfered in my show?" "A few times with Mark, a few with Andrew, once with Bryan, and now this." "Why can't you pick one, and stick with him, like you did with Mark?" "I have. Scott and I are engaged, again." "One trouble maker deserves another," Vince mumbled.

"Look, you three have been enough trouble for me in the past three months," Vince said as he pointed at me, Andrew and Adam. "And you have a bad reputation of being trouble," he said as he pointed at Scott. "Sarge, JR, and myself will be keeping an eye on you four. One more incident, and you will all be suspended. Got it?" "Yes, sir," we all said. "Now, any anger toward each other that is left, get it out now, because this takes affect as soon as you walk out the door."

"Andrew, why are you screwing with my life? I dumped you, so you could be with Stacy." "Because I didn't dump you when you screwed Adam." "Geez, Andrew! First of all, the circumstances were different. I did it out of revenge, and a case of the 'hots' for him. Second, I apologized profusly for it. Third, remember our agreement that we all fucked up, and took a bit of the blame?" "Yeah. Atleast she thought she had a good reason to cheat on you. I didn't do anything to hurt her." "I'm sorry, Adam. Have you ever heard the saying 'you keep the first person you made love to in your heart'?" "Yes." "Scott has had a huge piece of my heart before I even met you two. So much, that I was going to marry him. Things happened, and we drifted apart. He went to WCW, and I came here. But, I never lost my love for him. When I saw him last night... To use Scott's words, he made me stupid. I forgot about you, and thought about how good he and I are together." A tear slid down my cheek. "I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but I want to be with Scott."

Adam stood, and took a step toward me. Scott stood, and took a protective stance. "It's ok. He's not an asshole, like Andrew." Adam grabbed my hands, and helped me to my feet. He petted my cheek with the back of his hand. "I forgive you, Jade. And, as long as you are happy, I am, too. Congratulations on your engagement." Adam kissed my forehead.

"Now, if we're done arguing, and apologizing..." "Hold on, Vince. I haven't had my say," Scott said. "Andrew, if you want to fuck with someone, go fuck that twig you call a girlfriend, because if you fuck with Jade again, I'll take suspension, just so I can kick your ass."

chapter 8

For hours after our meeting with Vince, Scott tried to cheer me up. I was happy that I had finally found out who I wanted to be with, but I was pissed at myself, because of all the trouble I had caused. Even when we went back to the hotel room, and watched a funny movie with Kevin, I let the guilt get to me. I guess it really bugged them that I was upset, because they had made a bet on who could make me laugh first. They took turns with their jokes, and teasing, but none of it worked.

"I know what will do it, " Scott said. He went under the blanket, and licked the ticklish spot on my hip. He had remembered that it was one of the spots that made me squirm. I jumped, but didn't laugh. "That's no fair. You can't do anything I can't," Kevin said. "If she won't argue, I won't." I pulled the covers up, so I could look him in the eyes. "Are you serious?" "Only if you want to." I bit my lip as I laid the covers over us again. I turned to Kevin, and he gave me this look... His eyebrow was cocked, and he just looked sexy as hell. I waved him over with one finger. He crawled out of his bed, and kneeled beside mine and Scott's. As Scott placed kisses along the inside of my thigh, Kevin grabbed my breast through my t-shirt. As Scott reached the ticklish spot again, Kevin tickled my nipple with the tip of his tongue. That's when I started laughing. "Ok, you both win." They didn't stop, though.

Words couldn't do justice to what happened between the three of us that night. Let's just say, 'Big Sexy' and 'Medium Sexy' make one hell of a tag team outside the ring, as well. When it was all over, though, we all agreed that it would never happen again. After Kevin went back to his own bed, I curled up in Scott's arms, laying my head on his chest. "I love you, baby." "I love you, too, mija. Sweet dreams."

*********************************

The next morning, I woke up when Kevin closed the bathroom door. When I looked up, I was looking into Scott's beautiful brown eyes. "Good morning, mi amor," I said with a smile. "What time is it?" "8:30." He pulled me towards him, until I was almost under him. "I could make love to you right now," he whispered in my ear. "We're not alone, though." "I know. What time do we take off?" "In three hours." "Let's go have a big breakfast. We'll need it for our plans today," he said with a sly grin.

He kissed my lips, and then my neck. He pressed his hips against mine, letting his erection lay over my slit. "Save it for later, mi amor. We need to get a move on."

********************************

As soon as we walked through the door of the house, we started making up for lost time. We dropped our bags by the door. His arms went around me, and he picked me up by my ass. He set me on the back of the couch, and placed kisses all over my neck, shoulder, collar bone, and finally my lips. "Will you take it to your room, Jade." "Shit! You just scared the hell out of me, Niki. I thought you were at school." "Day off. Who's the new guy?" "Nikole, this is my fiance, Scott Hall. Scott, this is my roommate, Nikole." "What did I miss?" "A really long story. I'll tell you later. Right now, Scott and I are going upstairs to live on the fruits of love." "Whatever. Just don't throw your 'peels' out the window. Monty's dog is in the backyard." Remembering the joke, I said, "God, Nikole! I have a trash can for those."

I jumped off the back of the couch, and ran upstairs with Scott hot on my heels.

I awoke early the next morning to Scott calling my name. "Jade, wake up." "Why?" "I have an idea." "What time is it?" "Six." "Too early for ideas." I covered my head with the pillow, and tried to go back to sleep. He took the pillow off of my head. "Why don't we get married today?" "Because in the State of Texas, you have to wait three days after you get the license. We don't even have a license," I mumbled. "So, let's go get one today." "Can we do it later? I don't think the courthouse is open now."

*****************************************

As soon as we had our license, Scott and I agreed on a date; the Wednesday afterward. We had gone back to mine and Niki's house, and worked on our short invitation list. Sandra, Terry, Lady B, Duane, Niki, Monty, Dville and her date (either Raven or Chris Kanyon) were on my list. Trip, Bonnie, Kevin, Shawn, Kari, Sean, Hogan, and Steve Austin were on his.

*****************************************

Once we went back on the road, Scott and I handed out the invitations before the show. Once that was done, we got ready for our matches. As I finished getting dressed, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" "Just some bad ass." "Come in, Mark." After he entered, he said, "hey, baby girl." "What's up?" "The word going around is that you're getting married again." "Yeah, I am. I'm kinda tired of being the ex- Mrs. Callaway." "Who's the lucky man?" "Hall." "You enjoy trouble, don't you?" "You weren't exactly innocent, my lord," I said as I gave him an evil grin.

He stared at me for a long moment. "You know, every time I start to miss you, I think of that time you got your revenge for what I did." "You don't miss me after that, do you," I laughed. He laid his hand on my cheek. "Baby girl, if you only knew..." I stood, then. "Well, there's no going back anymore, Mark. You have to think of Sara, and I have Scott." He sighed. "I know, but what we had was good." "I'll agree; it was good. But, I didn't make you happy like Sara does."

There was another knock on the door. "Who is it?" "Scott." "Come in, hun." The look of surprise on his face was almost priceless. "Uh... Hey, Mark." "Scott." I was kinda nervous having my ex-husband and my future husband in the same room at the same time. And, I deffinatly didn't like the way Mark said his name. "I have to go get ready," Mark said to me. "I just wanted to come congradulate you." "Thank you." He turned to Scott, and shook his hand. Before letting go, he said, "if you ever hurt her..." "I'll take care of him, the same way I took care of you; without anyone else's help," I interrupted. He looked at me, and nodded before letting go of Scott's hand, and walking out the door.

"What was that all about?" "An old story." I wrapped my arms around him. "We're supposed to be working on a new one."

Two days before our wedding, Scott came up with an idea to test our faithfulness. Instead of having a bachelor/bachelorette party, he was going to stay at my house with Niki, and I was going to stay with Kevin. I tried my damnedest to talk him out of it. There wasn't any doubt in my mind that he would be faithful. Niki wouldn't let him touch her. I was more worried about myself. Having already had sex with Kevin, only made it harder.

At the Smackdown taping that Tuesday, I pulled Scott away from Terry and Kevin long enough to talk to him. "Scott, I can't go home with Kevin tonight." "Why? Afraid you'll miss me?" "Yes, and no. I'm not sure I can pass this test. I think of going home with him, and then I think of what we did a week ago." He put his hand on my cheek, and smiled at me. "I don't want to cheat on you, mi amor." "I have faith that you won't." He kissed me softly. "I love you, Scott." "I love you, too, Jade."

*******************************************

The flight to Atlanta was the undoing. Talk about no restraint. As soon as we got to our seats, Kevin asked the flight attendant for a blanket. When she came back with it, he covered both of us. His hand went to my bare thigh, then went back and forth to my knee. I melted in his hands. His hand went to my center, and petted me through my panties. "Kevin, please..." "Shhh... Nobody has to know. Nobody..." After the plane took off, he whispered to me, "let's go to the bathroom." We joined the "mile high club". No easy task, considering the cramped bathroom, and Kevin's wonderfully large frame.

On the way to his condo, he said, "tell me, why didn't we do this when you joined WCW?" "You turned me off by staring at my tits." "And now, I get you all night." He gave me his menacingly sexy smile. When we finally got there, we went inside, not even bothering to grab our bags. I don't remember seeing anything on the way in, except Kevin's chest. He carried me, by my ass, into his bedroom. He set me on my feet at the end of the bed. We slowly stripped each other of our clothes, taking time to touch and tease each other's bodies.

He laid on the bed on his back, and I laid between his legs. I took him into my mouth as far as I could, while I massaged his balls. "Oh, baby..." His moaning encouraged me to bob faster, and suck harder. He stopped me not long after. "Ride me, Jade." I straddled him, and slid down his length. He played with my breasts, as I got into a good rhythm. "Oh, Kevin..." He guided my hips faster and faster, until we came together.

I collapsed on him, laying my head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me, and chuckled. "Are you tired already?" "No. I'm cold. I'm using you to warm me up." "I'd turn on the heater, but you'd have to get off of me." I climbed off of him, and went into the bathroom connected to his room.

When I returned to the bedroom, the lights were out, three candles were burning, and a bottle of champagne with two glasses sat on the night stand. "Kevin?" "Just a minute." He came in a moment later with a bowl of strawberries. "You sure do work fast. What is all of this?" "Nobody's tried to romance you before?" "No." "Well, you will be tonight." "Do you think it's wise to romance your best friend's fiance?" "No, but then again, it wasn't wise for Scott to make you come." "I won't argue about that."

"You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?" He stated it more as a fact, than a question. "Maybe a little too much." He kissed me softly. "Don't worry. You'll still make it to your wedding tomorrow. But, if I was your man, I wouldn't trust any man to be alone with you, especially Scott." He gave me a feather light kiss, and said, "I love you, Jade." My mind screamed, 'OH, FUCK!'

What do you say when your fiance'e's best friend says he loves you? "Jade?" "I... I... Aye-yi-yi..." "Are you ok?" "Besides being shocked, yes."

I couldn't honestly say I loved him, too. Lusted him; yes, but it was too early for love, if it ever came. "Kevin, I..." "Shhh... I know you don't want to hear it right now. Just let me be Scott for tonight." "I don't want you to be Scott. I want you to be Kevin Nash; the man I want to make love to."

It was his turn to be speechless. I laid my hand on his neck, and pulled him down for a kiss. "Please, make love to me," I said to him. He wrapped his arms around me, and I jumped to wrap my legs around his waist. We laid on the bed, with him on top of me. He kissed me from head to toe, and back again. He took his time, not rushing anything.

This time when he entered me, it was like a whole new experience. His strokes were slow and deep. It was like he was focused more on my orgasm than his. In the heat of the moment, I whispered, "I love you, too, Kevin." "Oh, Jade," he moaned, before cumming inside me.

He laid down beside me, and took me into his arms. "Did you mean what you said?" "I... I don't know. I knew I lusted you, but love is a strong word." "I meant what I said. I love you, Jade." He kissed my shoulder before laying his head on the pillow, and falling asleep. As for me, I couldn't sleep. My wedding was less than 24 hours away, and I just told another man that I love him. And, the more I thought about it, the more I meant it.

I hadn't noticed, but I found myself sitting on the balcony, when Kevin woke up. "Baby, what are you doing up?" "My conscience won't let me sleep." "You're worried about Scott?" "Yeah." "Jade, I love you, but I don't want to come between the two of you. He's like a brother to me." "Kevin, I came to the conclusion that I meant what I said. I love you, but I also love Scott." "You don't blame yourself for this, do you?" "Hell no. I blame Scott. I told him I'd wind up in bed with you." "What are you going to do?" "I don't know. If I told him, it would break his heart. If I don't, he'll wonder what happened."

"It's cold out here. Let's go inside, and talk," he said. We went inside, and laid down in bed. He wrapped me in his arms, and I laid my head on his chest. "No matter what you decide to do, I'm behind it." "Maybe I should just tell Scott we need to hold off on the wedding. We just found each other two weeks ago, after being apart for eight years. Even if we hadn't fallen for each other, it's too soon to get married. In the mean time, we can see what happens between us. I don't really know you." "Do you think you could pull that off?" "Yeah. I can tell him I want to start all over, instead of picking up where we left off. He's understanding." "Scott must have changed alot. I don't remember him being that understanding." "You're right. Maybe I should just tell him." "Why don't you sleep on it? Maybe things will be clearer in the morning." I smiled at him. "Ok, baby." He kissed me softly, before we fell asleep.

That night, I dreamed of an elderly couple sitting in a porch swing, holding hands. The man appeared to be atleast 10 years her senior. The woman turned to the old man and said, "I still love you, Kevin." "And, I still love you, Jade."

I sat bolt upright in bed. I scared the hell out of Kevin in the process. "Are you ok? What's wrong?" "Let's just say that I know what I have to do."

As soon as Kevin and I stepped into the little chapel, I went in search of Scott. "Sandra, have you seen Scott?" "Not yet. Ask Sean." Sean was already trying to rush Kevin into the groom's changing room. I followed them.

"Jade, you're not supposed to see the groom before the wedding." "I have to see him, X. Before the wedding." "WE have to," Kevin corrected. Sean had shown us the door. Without knocking, I walked in. I came face to ass with Shawn and Trips. "Jade! Get out of here!" "It's not like I haven't seen your asses before. Besides, Kevin and I need to talk to Scott." "Baby, we're not supposed to see each other." "It's important." He looked at Shawn and Trips. "Can you guys give us a minute?" "Sure."

Once they were gone, he said, "what's wrong?" "Scott, remember when I said I don't think I could pass this test?" His silence said it all. I didn't have to tell him. "You put too much faith in me. Kevin and I slept together." He sat in the chair, and stared in the mirror. "I'm sorry, Scott." "Just leave, both of you."

I walked into the chapel followed by Kevin. I stood before all of our friends and said, "the wedding is off. It's not because of Scott. It's my fault." With that said, Kevin and I left for my house. Nikole, Sandra, Missy and Lady B got to the house five minutes after we did. When they came through the door, I was sitting on Kevin's lap, while he held me.

"Jade, what happened," Missy asked. "I think it's obvious, Sis," Lady B said. "Te enamoraste de, Kevin," she asked me. "Si, mi hermana, but I didn't mean to hurt Scott. It just happened." "Do you love her?" "With all my heart." "Then, you two have my blessing." "Thank you, B," I said as I laid my head on Kev's shoulder. Sandra rubbed my shoulder. "Missy and I are next door, if you need anything." "Yeah, and I'll go over there for a little while, to give you two time alone," Niki said. "Thanks, ladies. I don't know what I'd do without you."

The next morning seemed much better. The night before, I had realized I gave Scott a taste of his own medicine. He broke my heart by not telling me about his wife, and I slept with, and fell in love with his best friend. The problem was we all had to be in the same building that night. It was the last house show before the pay per view, which was the debut of nWo on WWE.

I was worried about how our "love triangle" would effect our working relationship. Especially between Scott and Kevin. I knew I had to talk to Scott before the show.

When Kevin and I made it to the arena, I went with him into the nWo locker room. "Scott, don't yell at us, and don't walk away from me. I want to talk to you." "What is there to talk about? How you slept with my best friend? I don't want to hear it." "No. How I don't want us to fuck up our working relationship. How I'm sorry for what happened, but I wouldn't take it back. How I still love you, but you don't know anything about me anymore." "I don't want to hear it, Jade! Mi has roto el corizone!" I handed him back the engagement ring. "Ojo por ojo." (translate: eye for eye)

"And tooth for tooth," Kevin said. "You took my last girlfriend, and my ex-wife said you put the moves on her. Now, we can all say we're even. But, I don't plan on letting go of Jade." "No, we're not even. What about you getting back with your ex," Scott asked. Kevin smiled and said, "those plans fell through last week. Last Monday to be exact. Otherwise, I never would have touched Jade."

I stepped away from both of them. "Now, let's get one more thing straight. I will not be the cause of one of the best tag teams ever splitting up. Kiss, hug, shake hands... I don't care, but I want to know that you guys will still be partners and friends." "I'm not kissing him. He may try to "French" me," Scott said. I was releived after that. If he can joke, he can get over it faster. "And I'm not hugging him. He grabbed my ass last time," Kevin said. While laughing, I said, "then shake hands." They did. Before leaving the room, I kissed them both on the cheek. "I'll see you two later. Behave, children." "Si, mami." "Ok, baby."

No Way Out seemed to be a turning point for a lot of guys in the locker room. Half were upset because of the nWo "steeling" their lime-light. A quarter of them looked forward to forward to working with them, and the rest didn't care. Either way, Vince's "poison" had been injected, and everyone felt some kind of effect.

I ran into Glen in the hallway. "Hey, darlin', what's your view on the show?" "Hogan I can deal with. Hall is an alcoholic. Nash, I don't want him anywhere near me." "Scott is not an alcoholic. And what's wrong with Nash? The fake Big Daddy Cool doesn't want to meet the real deal?" He laughed. "Something like that. Stay sweet." He kissed my cheek, and took off down the hall. "Tell Sharon hi for me," I yelled after him.

"Are you ready, Jade," Kevin asked from behind me. "Yeah." "What's up with 'Kane'?" "I think he's avoiding you." "Why?" "Does the fake Diesel ring a bell?" "Oh." "I think he needs to see that you're a big softy." "A big softy, huh?" He leaned over, and growled in my ear. "I'll show you something hard later." That made me giggle. "Oooo, baby!"

"Take it to the hotel, will ya," Trips said from behind us. "Hey! How's Bonnie and 'Lil Trip'?" "They're both doing good." "Congradulations. Give them my love." "Thanks. I'll see you two later." He sped off down the hall.

"Have you ever thought of having kids," Kevin asked me. "After I retire, I wouldn't mind having one or two." "How about one of your own, and a step-son?" "Do you have a son?" "Yes." "Well, that would work. I love kids."

Famous last words of a fool. Three weeks later, the morning sickness began. I called the doctor, and made an appointment. The next week, I found out that I was pregnant. When Niki came home from school, I called her into the living room. "Niki, I'm pregnant!" "Oh, shit. Have you told Kevin or Vince?" "Not yet. I have no idea how I'm going to tell Kevin. We've only been together for a month..." "Tell me what," he asked as he came through the door.

"Kev, you should sit down." He sat, and asked, "what's going on, babe?" "Remember that talk we had about kids?" "Yeah." "I think we got started a little early. I'm pregnant." He went through a moment of shock, before a twinkle appeared in his eyes. "A baby," he said with a smile.

"Niki, can you give us a minute?" "Sure, sis. Congradulations." "Thanks." Once she ran up the stairs, I turned back to Kevin. "What do you say, Kev? Can you handle another little one?" He sighed. "It's early in our relationship for a child..." "Let's put it this way, whether we're together or not, whether we keep the child or not, I'm having this baby." He stood, and took me into his arms. He petted my cheek, and smiled. "Alright. So, we'll be parents..." I wrapped my arms around his neck, and said, "I love you." "I love you, too."
