BOBBY’S POV

I hate these production meetings. The last thing I want to do is spend more time with him. I’ve known about them for a while now. I’ve known about the secret glances, the midnight rendezvous, and the nights he’s left me to hold another in his arms.

I don’t even know what keeps me around. I guess it’s the hope that he’ll turn into the man that I was committed to several years ago. Besides, when I took those vows, I meant them. I guess I’m the only one that did. I can remember it like it was yesterday. We stood in front of a minister of God, and swore to be faithful to each other. Oh James, how soon you forget.

I didn’t forget though. I promised to love, honor and cherish you, through the good times and the bad. That’s what I intend to do. We’re just going through a bad time right now. I just can’t believe that he would leave me alone most nights to stay with him. Why him? What is it about him that keeps James mind occupied? I guess it could be his childlike charm, or maybe it’s his blue eyes. Hell, I don’t even like the kid and I can tell that you could get lost in his eyes.

What really kills me though, is the fact that it seems like James can’t wait to get away from me on some days. He’s always making some kind of excuse as to why he has to go places. Like last night he told me that Chris was having some personal problems and needed to talk. That’s funny, I saw Chris before we went to the arena yesterday and he seemed fine to me. But James, supposedly, stayed with Chris last night to help him through some deep emotional problem. I’m not stupid. I know where he was last night. That fact is written all over his lover’s face.

CASSIDY’S POV

I know what everyone thinks about me. Everyone thinks that I’m some kind of home wrecking slut. Well, I’m here to tell you that I’m not. I can’t help it if I’ve fallen in love with a married man. I can’t help it if he’s fallen in love with me either. I just wish that James didn’t have to rush home to the little ‘wifey’ every night.

Just one time I’d like to know what it’s like to wake up in his arms. Last night he even left me. He’d told Bobby that he was staying with Chris because Chris was depressed. After we made love he left me saying that he should really stay with Chris so Bobby didn’t get suspicious. He was free and clear all night long and he still didn’t stay with me. I can only sit here and imagine what his face looks like with the early morning sun shining in on it. It must be a beautiful sight to behold.

Another thing I’d like to find out is what it would be like to be called Cassidy Storm. But, again, that privilege goes to Bobby Roode. Oh excuse me, I mean Bobby Storm. That’s been his name for the past three years now. I should know, I was in the wedding party. James and I weren’t attached then, we were just friends. Our friendship didn’t blossom into anything more serious until about a year ago.

I don’t know why Bobby is sitting there looking at me like he wants to kill me. He couldn’t possibly know about us. We’ve been very careful. And even if he did know, I don’t know what he’d be so upset about. It’s not like James takes that much time away from Bobby to spend with me. I mean, the major days I spend alone. Christmas, Valentines, Thanksgiving, New Years, and countless others I spend totally alone. All I get from James is the occasional night.

BOBBY’S POV

I can’t believe that little ass hole has the nerve to be looking at us. I’m sitting here next to James and he’s looking at both of us. Albeit, the look he gives me is considerably different than the ones he gives my husband. He looks at me like he wishes that I was dead. Don’t get me wrong, too much more of this and I could grant his wish easily. But that would leave him free reign to be with James and that’s not gonna happen. I’d rather live in an eternity of hell than to give that little fucker one thing that he wants.

The look he gives James, though. Wow! I don’t see how James thinks he's hiding anything from me. I have eyes, you know. I see the way that he looks at James and I see the way James looks at him. It’s obvious there’s something going on there. I just wish that James would look at me like that from time to time. The way he looks at that little shit makes me sick to my stomach. There’s such passion and fire in those looks. I’m sure if I looked a little deeper, I’d see love buried in there somewhere. I just can’t bring myself to look that deep.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the kind of guy to just lay down and take this. I’ve asked James if he was having an affaire before. He swore up and down that he wasn’t. Told me that I was the only one in his life that mattered. He even went as far as placing his hand on mine, so that our wedding rings were touching, and told me that ours was a never ending love. Just like the ring symbolized. Bull shit. His idea of never ending and mine are two totally different things.

CASSIDY’S POV

I don’t know why he stays with Bobby. He says that he loves ME. Yeah that’s right. Me. Not him. I have to cut him some slack right now though. This whole Team Canada versus AMW thing is causing enough turmoil in their relationship. I’m sure it’d get really ugly, if James was to leave him right now. So I’ll patiently sit back and wait. I know he’ll leave him when the time’s right. I just pray that’s sometime real soon.

You can’t blame me, though. I mean what would you do if you had a guy telling you how wonderful you are, on a daily basis. He tells me that he needs me. I’ve never been needed before. I’ve always been the little plaything that could be thrown away at whim. He hasn’t done that yet. He says he wants to keep me forever. That makes me feel so secure, that I couldn’t possibly leave him. He knows that I’ll be here when he tells Bobby about us. I’ll be here to take all that pain away from him. After all, Bobby is his husband. I’m sure there is some feelings there.

Last night, when he came to me. I was having a bad night. They haven’t been using me in the shows a lot and I was feeling pretty down about myself. Do you know what he said? He said that he believes in me. That I can do anything I set my mind to. I think I fell even deeper in love with him than I already was. I don’t think he realized though, that he gave me a goal. I can do anything I set my mind to, huh? Well, just this morning, I set my mind on getting those two apart. I just don’t know how I’m gonna do it.

JAMES POV

Oh what a wicked web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. That just keeps running through my head. I didn’t plan for any of this to happen. It just did. I didn’t go to Cassidy, that first night, expecting to sleep with him. Bobby had the flu about a year ago and he didn’t want me to get sick, so he sent me to sleep in Cassidy’s room. I’m not blaming Bobby here. That’s just why I went to Cassidy’s that night. I don’t even know the events that followed. I just know that when I woke up, Cassidy was in my arms. I couldn’t believe it. I slipped out of bed without even waking him up, and went to Bobby. Sure enough I was sick a week later, but I didn't care.

Everything was cool for a while after that. I avoided Cassidy at all costs. Afraid that my actions or even the slightest glance would give my heart away. You see, I fell for Cassidy that night. Just the touch of his skin sent a fire through my body that I’ve never known existed. So I avoided him, praying it would go away. I thought I had it taken care of, until the night of that benefit show we were booked at.

Cassidy and I were booked in a benefit, somewhere in Indiana. Bobby was originally gonna tag along, until he was booked in a show in Georgia. That left me and Cassidy alone for the first time since our adulterous night in his hotel room. To make a long story short, let’s just say he touched me. There went that damn fire again. I couldn’t bare to sleep with him that night, though. After we had sex, I got up and went to my room.

I felt guilty for about a two months. Then I just stopped. I still love Bobby with all my heart, and no matter what I tell Cassidy, I could never leave my husband. The problem is that, I love Cassidy too. And no matter what I tell Bobby I could never leave my lover either. I know I’m skating on some very thin ice here. One day Bobby’s gonna find out, and he’s gonna leave me, or one day Cassidy’s gonna get sick of waiting and he’s gonna leave me. I just don’t know what to do. Either way, my heart’s gonna break.

BOBBY’S POV

I don’t care what that little shit thinks. I’m never leaving James.

CASSIDY’S POV

I don’t care what it takes. I’m gonna get James away from him.

JAMES POV

I can’t live with it. Tonight I’m getting both of them together and I’m telling them how I feel. I have to. I just can’t go on like this.
