The Teen Intern

Jon Reaches Out To Des

Chapter 4:

Desiree was standing centimeters away, with a camera, from a toned, shirtless and sweating Shield, who is posing for a photo with a WWE fan girl, whom looked about fourteen years old.

"Alright, say cheese!" Desiree instructed.

The Shield and the fan put on smiles for the camera well, at least Colby, Joe and the girl did. I wish I could say the same thing about Jon, but nope.

The camera flashed as Desiree looked at the picture just like what she expected, Jon's pose was strange, weird, or whichever word you would like to call it. Des believes that's his way of being dorky. So, she couldn't careless.

"Desiree."

She looked up to Colby in response to him calling her name.

"Did you get the photo?" Joe asked her.

Desiree looked at the photo again. "Yeah, the picture turned out well. I got the magic camera touch." she smiled proudly as the fan girl walked to her to claim her camera, so she could look at the picture Desiree took.

Des handed the camera back to the girl. "Thank you for taking the photo." the girl said, before being escorted away from the area by her father. Just the sight of the girl and her father bonding made her wish that she could have that bond with her own father.

"Des." she heard Joe's voice from behind her, which snapped her right out of her mind and back to reality. When she made eye contact with him, he approached her closer. Joe had confusion on why Desiree held her gaze at the girl and her father.

"Want to tell me why you held that gaze at them?" Joe said, talking about the fan girl and the father that was with them moments ago.

Desiree was shy and socially awkward. She had never opened up to anyone about her anorexia nervosa and her daddy issues. She was very guarded. Was she ready to open up to Joe and the others about her issues?

"I don't think I'm ready to open up. It's not you, but these are things that I have to think over and take under consideration." Desiree tried to explain in a way that Joe could understand.

Joe understood and nodded. "I can understand. I just want you to know that if you want to open up about anything that I'm always here to talk."

Desiree smiled. It was nice to see that Joe cared about her and what made her comfortable. "I would hug you, but you're all sweaty." Des giggled as she motioned her hands in a circular way around the area of sweat on his chest.

Joe giggled along with her. Joe thought that Des was adorable and unlike Jon, he was happy that she was here interning for them.

"You owe me a hug eventually." Joe joked as he went to follow Colby and Jon to the showers of the GYM.

"So Desiree, we unfortunately know nothing about you. Tell us somethings about yourself." Colby asked her when they grabbed a seat outside of the café; they stopped to get a rest.

Desiree stopped to think about some interesting facts about herself. What made Desiree Paige interesting?

"My middle name is Marie. I'm eighteen years old. I'm going to be a freshman in college. I'm a average straight A/B student. I'm socially awkward. I've never had many friends. I'm a WWE fan girl. "Desiree listed as she thought of what else to tell them.

The Shield looked at Desiree with that same blank facial expression. Desiree was only going to be a freshman and she's eighteen? They all thought that she was at least nineteen because she looked older than what she told them she was.
