Chapter Two:
" Fuck" I groaned as I sat on a bench in Adam and Jay's dressing room, the jump from the ropes had been a bit further than anticipated and I ended up landing straight on my shoulder, bruising it
" I still think this is my fault" Jay sighed, handing me an ice pack, I sent him a small smile as I put it on my shoulder, hissing as the cold air hit my shoulder
" Reso it wasn't your fault, it's wrestling our job is to get hurt" I explained, grabbing his hand and lacing our fingers together
" I'll go and get you some more ice Kay" Adam smiles, leaving the locker room with a wink
" I think I should make it up to you. Seeing as I was the one who suggested it" Jay says, sitting beside me on the bench
" And how would you do that Reso?" I asked with a raised eyebrow
" I'm gonna take you out tonight, for dinner a-as friends of course" Jay mumbles, running his fingers through his overly long hair
" Aww you're stuttering, you're so cute" I gushed, pinching his cheek in my left hand
" Of course I am, i'm alone in a room with a cute girl" He smirks.
This was how conversations with Jay and I went, the back and forth flirting has been happening since he ran into me in the week of his debut. Since then we've developed a friendship, something that could turn into something more but most likely never will.
He doesn't feel the same way that I feel about him, I feel a connection when he laces our hands together, he probably thinks he's just holding one of his closest friends hands.
I promised myself I wouldn't fall for a dumb wrestler when I joined this company but fuck was I wrong, I fell head over heels for a guy who bashed into me and ended up falling on top of me.
" Kay? Hello? Earth to Hardy" Jay laughs, bringing me out of my thoughts
" Huh, sorry what's up?" I questioned, wincing as I removed the pack from my shoulder
" I was saying we'll leave in about an hour" Jay smiled, rubbing his neck
" I'll grab some clothes off Amy then" I smiled, swinging my sneaker clad foot
" Need some help getting down?" Jay asks with a smile
" Do you mind?" I questioned as he jumped down from the bench
" Of course not" He grins, scooping me up in his arms, one arm around my neck and the other on the small of the back.
I let out a soft giggle as he brought me towards the dressing room Matt, Jeff and Amy were in. He kicks on the door making me giggle loudly, the door opens revealing Amy with a smirk on her lips
" I'll pick her up in an hour" Jay smiles, setting me down on the floor. I quickly got dragged into the room by an over excited Amy
" You're going on a date with him?" She exclaimed, making me quickly cover her mouth with my hand
" Shh! I don't want Matt and Jeff to go all ' big brother'" I hissed making Amy nod
" You're going on a date! You've been waiting for this for months" Amy whispers to me
" It's just a dinner, he's taking me to apologise for everything with my shoulder"
" Still, it's the two of you! Alone!" Amy grins
" I may have to borrow some of your clothes too, all I brought was sweats and a tank top" " Sweet, come on!" Amy smiles, grabbing her bag and directing me to the bathroom
I rolled my eyes as I jumped ontop of the counter, watching as Amy rummaged through her bag, bringing out a wine coloured jumper and a denim skirt
" Here, put these on" She smiled, throwing the sweater at me
" Aye aye Captain" I grinned as she rolled her eyes playfully at me

I paced back and forth in the locker room, my converses squeaking with each turn I took
" Kayla, Kay, Honey, calm yourself down you're making me tired just watching you" Amy laughed, setting her hands on my right shoulder
" I'm just nervous, what if he stands me up?" I questioned as a soft knock appeared on the door making Amy smirk
" You were saying?" She grins, opening the door to see Jay in a button down and jeans
" Amy hi, is Kayla ready?" He asks in a nervous tone. Amy smirked as she grabbed me and pulled me into view. My brown eyes as wide as they could be
" Have fun you two, but not too much" Amy winks as I walked out of the room, tugging on my sweater
" Y-You look beautiful" Jay stuttered out nervously
" You don't look so bad yourself Reso" I smiled, linking our arms together " So where are you taking me?"
" The place just across from here. I-Is that okay?" He questions me, playing with my fingers
" Of course, any place with food is good with me" I smiled brightly making Jay shake his head at me
The dinner went perfect, Jay and I spent all night just talking and holding hands from across the table, the way that he was talking was different, he complimented me more and made sure everything was okay
" So this is it huh?" I laughed as the two of us stood in front of the hotel
" I-I guess so"
" C-Can I do something I might regret?" I questioned
" O-Of course" Jay stuttered out as I stepped closer, wrapping my arms around his neck. Before I could lean in, Jay cupped my face in his hands and quickly pressed my lips against his.
I melted into the kiss, running my hands over the hairs on the back of his head
" Is that what you wanted to do?" Jay asked, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear
" Y-Yeah"
