face she
recognized, but no such luck. She walked into the dining area and
noticed that the tables were set up in a way that reminded her of
the cafeteria at school. The food smelled fantastic, though, so she
knew it wasn’t the school cafeteria. She couldn’t make out anything
specific, but the aromas mixed together nicely.
    She heard someone call her name and she
turned to see Jerry Blake, a good friend of her father’s come up to
her. “Jerry, hi.”
    “I thought that was you.” He gave her a hug.
Noelle couldn’t help but notice the looks she was getting from some
of the people at the tables, they were definitely curious about
her. But she was surprised by the whistling she heard. She took
pride in her appearance, and always dressed in fashion. She had her
hair done and makeup applied, but she couldn’t compete with the
women here. So, she was sure she was mistaken about the whistles
she heard. “What are you doing here? Does your Pop know? He didn’t
say anything.”
    “I am starting my new job today, Jerry. He
doesn’t know I’m here. Do you know where he is?”
    “I’ll get him. Have a seat. Help yourself to
some food.”

    Jackson was at the table with his buddy, Mike
Campbell. Finishing off a huge plate of food, he told Mike a bit
about Scout. He hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her since
Friday night, and, since he considered Mike one of his best
buddies, he wanted to tell him about her.
    Mike was a lot like Chad in the sense that he
wasn’t after a serious relationship, so he expected Mike to not
quite “get” the excitement Jackson had over meeting her, but he
wouldn’t let it get him down. After he shared the details with Mike
that he wanted, he started to read up on his fitness magazines. As
always, Mike was sending text messages to everyone he knew, but it
didn’t bother Jackson. This was what they always did before
practice for the live show. They’d eat and relax, each in their own
way. They both looked up when they heard whistling.
    “Who’s that?” Mike asked.
    Jackson took a closer look. There was a small
built brunette talking to Jerry. He couldn’t make out who it was at
first. All he could tell was whoever she was she had long, shiny
brown hair. She turned when Jerry left her side. He smiled when he
saw her face. He took a closer look. It couldn’t be, could it?
“It’s Scout.”
    “Who?”
    Jackson rolled his eyes, “Thanks for
listening, Man. It’s my girl from Friday night.”
    “Whoa! What the hell is she doing here? That
is a little scary if you ask me.”
    “I’m about to find out,” Jackson said and
walked over to her. True, it was a bit weird that she was here, but
he was more curious as to why she was here. “Looks like you’re
lost,” he said as he stood behind her.
    She turned around quickly and, instead of
looking happy to see him as he had hoped, she looked confused,
scared almost. “Jackson!” She just stood there looking at him. Her
expression was beginning to worry him. She now looked disappointed
and scared.
    “I can’t believe this! How did you find me?
What are you doing here?” He reached for her hand, but she just
stood there staring at him with that look on her face. “Hey, what’s
wrong?”
    “I’m working here now, today is my first
day.”
    Now he understood why she didn’t seem happy
to see him. She was worried about them working together and dating.
He actually thought it was great news. “It’s okay. Honest. There
are no rules against workplace dating. Actually, that is pretty
much the norm here. Don’t stress it. It’s just no fun for me,
keeping you in the dark about what I do for a living.”

    Noelle couldn’t speak. She felt sick. Of
course he was a wrestler! How could he not be, with a body like
that? She had been around wrestlers her whole life! How could she
not have been able to put it together? Oh my God, she was all over
him the other night! Her father! He worked here too! He could never
find out. Knowing
