The Teen Intern

Desiree Does Pensacola

Chapter 9:

"Listen Desiree, I can't keep saving your ass every time that you can't find an excuse to tell about your eating disorder and why I'm around you a lot." Jon lectured the intern when the Smackdown taping ended and Colby and Joe where nowhere in sight. Jon wanted to have a discussion with Desiree about RAW last night and her confrontation with Colby and Joe—the same confrontation, where Jon saved her from admitting the truth for a second time.

"I'm not used to people confronting me. I was frozen and didn't know what to say without having both our asses on the line." Desiree argued to him.

Jon held his forehead, feeling a migraine coming to him. "I assume that Colby and Joe are getting suspicious of our…" Jon paused, trying to find the correct word to name their newfound relationship. "…deal and we can't let that happen. So, this is what I was thinking, you go back to one of their hometowns this week and maybe that would clear any suspicion that one of them might have of us."

Des frowned at Jon's suggestion. This would be the first time that The Shield would get two days off this week and part their own ways. She really would have liked to travel with Jon to Cincinnati. But, he did have a point; she needed to clear the tension that she may have with Joe and Colby. And besides, ever since Jon saw Des trying to make herself throw up, they have been at each other's sides nonstop. Maybe two days away from Jon would be the best for everyone.

"If it's best for everyone, I'll do it." Desiree put on a fake smile for Jon.

"That's my girl." he patted her on the back in encouragement.

Desiree had one question on her mind?—would she go to Pensacola or Buffalo? Is she going with Joe or Colby? Is it Roman or Seth? Which Tag Team Champion will get the intern for two days? Oh how this will be fun to decide!

Jon and Des heard a door open and walked in Colby and Joe. "I somehow knew that the two of you would be here." Joe put down his luggage.

"What were you guys talking about?" Colby asked them as he put down his luggage.

"Debating, who I should stay with." Desiree answered. "Who do you think I should stay with?" she asked them.

"I don't mind getting her for two days. Someone's gotta watch Kevin and the other dogs. And Leighla has wanted to meet her." Colby insisted.

"I don't mind getting her for two days. Kyla would love to have a little playmate around." Joe insisted.

Joe, Colby and Des looked at Jon. For the men, they were waiting for him to put in something that would convince them that he should have the teenager for two days. Desiree secretly wanted Jon to say something that would result in him claiming her—that wasn't going to happen.

Jon looked at the three individual in the room and smirked. "You guys are on your own. See ya on Friday, Desiree!" and as fast as he gets out of ring rats bedrooms, he was out of the door, luggage in hand.

Desiree was now left alone with the Tag Team Champs. Colby and Joe were having a stare down. Apparently, the last man standing would get Desiree. Why can't men fight over her in Grand Rapids?

"Joe, we can settle this like gentlemen." Colby began.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" Joe guessed, a smirk forming on his face.

"Damn right." Colby smirked at him.

Desiree looked at these guys in strangeness—the sixteen year old was the only adult in this room. She was getting a little fussy now right now not because it was late; it was because she didn't know who she was going with. She's going to decide herself.
