Chapter Seven

Okay guys this really interested:)

Things between my mom and Jon seemed to be blossoming every day after that. They were together almost all the time when he was in town and on the phone when he was away. For two straight months he was all she could talk about and I was so happy for her. As for me, I was going on summer break soon, but first I had to attend a evening dance with James . I felt weird attending a dance that really wasn't mine but hey, at least I got a chance to experience it before my time.

"He's wearing pink mom, can you believe that?" I asked her.

She smiled at Jon who was riding in the front seat with my mom. "Well from what I hear real men wear pink." She said.

"Or gay men..." Jon said.

I giggled and my mom shook her head, "Why do you think they are gay babe?"

He shrugged, "I don't know, maybe because pink is for little girls?"

I laughed, "He's got a point there, but since when do you judge someone based off of the color they wear?"

"What you mean?" he asked.

"Well, people say it's unfair to judge other based off the color of their skin so why is it ok to judge a man who wears pink?"

He looked at me and then at my mom, "You've got one smart daughter you know that?"

"Oh yea I know. This girl gets straight A's on all of her report cards."

"Is that right?" he said.

I nodded, "Yep that's right sir."

We pulled up to the mall soon after that. Jon decided to stay in the car since he didn't want to be spotted by any fans.

"Oh please, I'm more of a celebrity in this place." I told him.

He chuckled, "How do you figure?"

"I'm in here all the time shopping and working." I said.

"Working huh? And what exactly is your job?" he asked.

"I work at the WWE merchandise store. It's pretty sweet," I said.

He smiled, "Well in that case, maybe I will come in with you girls."

Jon remained behind us while we walked through the mall looking for a dress shop. I couldn't help but smile knowing that Dean Ambrose himself was behind us. This was truly a dream come true, although, lately he had been acting weird around me whenever my mom wasn't around. Besides the wink I received the night after Raw, he had been calling my cell phone and talking to me for a few minutes before calling my mom...weird. Then he had picked me up from school one day and took me out for ice cream without my mom knowing. Sure I was ok with him wanting to get to know me but...this was a little weird to me.

"Ok, I'm so not wearing this..." I said when I came out of the dressing room. My mom had picked out a short pink dress that looked like it was more meant for Easter than prom.

"Why not? It's simple and pretty-"

"-She looks like Shirley Temple..." Jon said with a smile.

I put my hands on my hips, "Oh ha ha, very funny."

"Alright take that one off and try on the one Jon gave you." My mom said.

I nodded and headed back into the dressing room. The dress Jon gave me was light pink and very full like Cinderella's but I really loved the corset top it had. There was also a little half jacket that covered my shoulders for whenever I got cold.

My mom smiled really big when I walked out wearing the dress. "That is gorgeous,"

"See, I told you I had good taste in dresses." He said.

She smiled at him, "I love this one,"

"Are you sure?" my mom asked.

I looked at myself in the mirror once more and then nodded, "Yes I'm sure."

"Yes! You owe me twenty dollars." Jon told my mom.

She shook her head and then turned to him, "How about I pay you back in kisses?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "Sounds good to me," he said as he kissed her lips.

"Hey! Cut it out! I'm a child you know!" I said as I walked toward the dressing room.

My mom giggled, "Listen to her, she acts like she's never seen two people kissing before."

Mark laughed, "Yea I know, and I'm sure you've kissed plenty of guys in your day Ashley."

"Shut up Jon!" I yelled from the dressing room. I heard them both laugh.

Once I was dressed in my normal clothes I hung up the dress and carried it out to my mom. She gladly paid for it and then we headed back to the house so I could start dinner. I promised my mom I would cook for her since she bought my dress...nice huh?

Once I hung up the dress in my room, I was about to head downstairs to start dinner when I saw Jon standing in my doorway. I jumped a little, "You scared me,"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to come up here and talk to you for a second. May I come in?"

I nodded and sat down on my bed while he took a seat in a chair. He looked around at all my posters with a smile on his face. "Wow, I'm loving the room darlin' it's really something."

"Thanks, and you just sitting there makes it complete." I said.

He laughed, "That's true, but I wanted to come ask you something but I'm not too sure how to get it out."

I shrugged, "Just take your time. I won't take anything the wrong way trust me."

"Alright fair enough...how do you feel about me and your mom possibly getting married?"

I thought about it for a second, "I don't know, I mean I have no issues with you being around at all so...I guess if it makes her happy then I'm happy too."

He nodded and then looked at me curiously, "Now why don't you tell me how you really feel."

I looked at him completely confused, "What do you mean?"

"Oh don't play dumb with me Ashley; I can see it in your eyes."

"You can see what in my eyes," I said still not getting the gist of what he was saying.

He smiled, "You're jealous of your mom aren't you?"

I started laughing as if he told a very funny joke...which he did. "That's funny Jon, but no I'm not jealous of my mom."

"I think you're lying." He said.

I looked at him still giggling, "Ok Jon the joke is over now. I like you and all but not in that manner."

He licked his lips and got up still looking down at me. "We'll see about that." Without another word he turned and walked towards my door. Before he left he looked back at me and winked. This time, that wink sent chills down my spine but I didn't let him know that. Oh man, what was I going to do? Why would he think I was jealous of my mom? I was all for my mother's happiness especially after the divorce of my and my father. What in the world was Jon thinking?

I sighed and went to my bathroom, suddenly feeling hot. I splashed cold water all over my face and dried it off before heading downstairs. The entire time I was cooking dinner, I kept thinking about that conversation. I decided to forget about it and just focus on dinner

"So where is James going to school at in the fall?" my mom asked when we were at dinner.

I shrugged, "I'm not sure, he hasn't really talked to me as much lately."

"Why is that? Did you two have another fight?" she asked.

I nodded, "Something like that,"

"Awe I'm sorry sweetie, maybe things will get better."

"I hope so but if not, I guess I'll have to suck it up and move on." I said before taking a bite out of my lasagna. I tried hard to avoid eye contact with Jon but he made that hard since he chose to sit across from me. I got some fresh air once the house phone started to ring. "I'll get it."

They both watched me as I got up and went to answer it. I stood with my back to them so I wouldn't have to look at Jon.

"Hello?"

"Ashley? Hey it's uncle Roman."

I gasped, "oh my gosh I haven't heard from you in ages! How are you?" I asked.

"Oh I'm good I just called to tell you and that sister of mine that I'm joining the WWE and I'm moving back to Florida."

I turned and looked at my mom, "It's uncle Roman."

Her face lit up, "What?"

I nodded and then told him to give me his number so I could call him back. I missed him so much and I sure was happy that he would be around more often.

"Oh Jon, Roman is my older brother." My mom told Mark. "I haven't seen him since Ashley was ten though."

"Wow, well that's sounds good." He said.

"Yes it is good. Now I don't have to stay in the house all the time right mom?" I said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes, "You are definitely right. You barely leave the house unless you have to work or go to school. Since summer break is coming up maybe you can babysit Jojo for Roman."

I looked at her like she was crazy, "Me babysit? That's funny mom."

"Why?"

"Because it is..."

She laughed, "jojo is a good kid. She will listen to you."

"If you say so." I said.

Once dinner was over I took all of the dishes and began washing them while my mom and Jon watched a movie in the living room. She wanted me to join them after but I was too tired and I didn't feel like looking at Jon for the rest of the night. He really had some nerve accusing me of being jealous...then again who wouldn't be jealous?

P.S Real Men wears Pink❤
