”You'll be fine, you're 'The Blessed One', 'The Headliner', 'The TWiSTeD High Commander', 'The Most Influential Icon in Sports Entertainment this Millennia', you got this. Don't second guess yourself, don't overcomplicate things, just go out there and do what you always do and be yourself, there's nothing to be scared of, nothing to be apprehensive about, this is your night.”
“But it's been a long time, and let's be honest it didn't work out that well last time did it? There are so many variables, so many things that can go wrong, it's not just your average night, this is an opportunity that only comes along so often, and for some they never get the chance, it's once in a lifetime, almost. So much is riding on this, so much is at stake, what if I do the wrong thing, what if I fuck it all up, I don't want to end the night as a loser.”
“Stop thinking like that, when does Travis Roberts fuck anything up? Never, you know why? Because it's impossible, anything 'The Blessed One' chooses to say or do is clearly the most practical and logical response in any given situation, no matter the result, no matter what anyone else says, 'The Headliner' always makes the right decisions, always does what needs to be done. Even if the everyone else is too stupid to see it, there is no disputing the actions of 'The TWiSTeD Guerilla'. ”
“That might have been true once, but does it still hold true today? The scene has changed so much, the jungle has grown into something I have only fleeting experiences of, I'm not sure I'm that ready for this, it'd not s challenge you can mentally prepare for, there is no obvious path to success, I might as well be going in blind. Why am I putting myself through this?”
“Because you know it will be worth it, and you know you won't fail, you can't fail. You know the best outcome for this is for 'The Blessed One' to be successful, no matter what is put in front of 'The Most Influential Icon in Sports Entertainment this Millennia' he will prevail, and prevail with magnificence.”
“But this is different'

Superbowl Sunday
Superbowl Sunday
We are once again in the home of 'The Blessed One' and has become the norm he is not alone. His front room is emptier than it was a month prior during his NYE celebrations, but the large table we saw at Christmas is not, it is filled to the brim with a feast of delectable goodies, from burgers to cheesecake, from yams to shrimp, potato chips to caviar, the group has been well catered for.
The group are all sat around Travis' enormous Tv watching the game. NBK is howling with delight every time he sees someone take a nasty looking hit, Victoria has commented on the misogyny that is explicitly on display each and every time a cheerleader has come into shot, and eD continues to ask questions about the rules and why there are so many commercial breaks.
Travis is sat looking dejected on the sofa, his disappointment stems from the fact the Seahawks are running away with the game, it's nearing halfway and the prospect of a shutout looks more and more likely. However Travis is not a Denver fan, he has met Peyton Manning on a number of occasions but was not impressed, his discomfort stems from something else. Namely a she-witch who married one of his best friends, cheated on him after mere months of getting married (which he didn't find out about until after they divorced years later), and then spread lies that he split up with her when she was in the midst of a cancer scare. Said She-Witch was from Seattle. Fuck the Seahawks.
One person conspicuous by there absence is Forewell Boding, who had stated he had no interest in watching an event that was designed to pull the nations attention from the yearly culling of super intelligent canines that the government routinely undegoes. So he had taken to wandering around The Blessed Ones abode, and had come across the master bedroom.
An oak four poster bed sits in the middle of the room, a writing desk faces the wall/window, a chaise lounge sofa just to it's side. Forewell, being a curious fellow, can't help but take a look inside. His eyes are drawn to a beside table and a magazine folded in half to mark an article. Forewell picks up the magazine and glances at the cover, and is shocked.
The title reads 'Middle Aged Milf', and despite a title that suggests a bottle of hand lotion should be near by, the contents are far less explicit, but possibly more toxic to humanity. This is a magazine written for women, by women, and aimed at the go-getters aged 30-50. Forewell shudders and then looks down at the article Travis had left open.

Seven tips for stepping back into the singles jungle.
Seven tips for stepping back into the singles jungle.
Don't Succumb to Fear.
Let's start with the obvious one shall we? Fear. There's no point in denying it, ignoring it will do no good, but trust us when we say if you face fear head on, you'll come out the other side a changed person. Fear is the reason it takes so long for so many of us to get back out there, fear that it will all happen again, just as it did before, the dread that our hopes and dreams will be crushed once more if we open ourselves up to the possibility of love. Don't let that fear defeat you.
For all the sway that fear can have over you, for all that it can make you believe it is in charge of you, this is simply not the case. You are superior on ever level to this emotion that keeps you trapped in the past, forever obsessing over a life you should leave behind and think little of, you are its master, without you fear would not exist.
If you want to move on with your life, if you want to experience happiness and joy again, you have to accept that fear is nothing without your fuel, and can only impact you if you make the mistake of believing the whispers and fallacies it presents to you.
Fear is weak, you are strong.
Be Wary of Naivety.
As big a threat to you is naivety, don't fall into this trap. Be very careful of just how much trust you put into other people at first, you've been through a tough time and there are plenty of people who will try to take advantage of your perceived vulnerability. We don't call it the 'Singles Jungle' hyperbolically, there are some serious predators out there who will use you for their own ends without considering what effect it may have on your life.
They may tell you that they are the producers of a string ofhit TV shows, or that they are working their way up the ladder at a Multinational Company and only take orders from their equivalent of Bill Gates, they could even come across as a sweet guy who just wants to be there for you and support you through life’s difficulties. Taking claims like these at face value is the quickest way to a broken heart, or far worse.
You're a strong independent woman, you don't need companionship to 'fulfil' you, you don't need a partner to make you 'complete', and never let anyone think you do. If you believe in yourself, the way you act and carry yourself will fend off the opportunists and unsavoury attention. If you don't any achievements, any happiness you do achieve will most likely be overshadowed by the men you will be tied to.
Have Fun...But Not Too Much
No-one wants to go on a date with a bore, especially a divorced bore, but you tread a very fine line. First impressions count, and if your too busy cracking jokes and showing how much 'fun' you are, it could hurt your chances of snagging the perfect catch. It's very easy to come across as someone with no direction, no focus and at this stage in our lives ladies that will not get you the attention you want.
If you act like a buffoon and happen to meet the perfect partner, you could do damage that could take months, even years to repair. You could lose your shot at a real, substantial relationship if your date considers you to be too 'free spirited', it might have been perfectly acceptable when we were younger, but now acting that way will, at best, lead to a series of one night stands and regrets. How can you expect to find someone to treat you like a real person, if you don't act like one.
Don't take your eyes off why you're doing this, and don't forget that our clocks are ticking girls, we don't have the privilege of infinite time to spend convincing the 'One' that we aren't actually a direction-less mess, with no serious thoughts on the future or goals that are worhwhile. Don't waste the time you get.
Don't Play Mind Games
Go into every date the way you want any potential relationship to move forward, honestly and faithfully. Don't try to hide behind a mask of cleverly conceived words and riddles to make yourself seem unique and mysterious. No one wants to play games like that, and no-one is going to invest their time and energy into someone who does. By closing off too much, and making your date second guess you will only lead to an impression that you can't be trusted, or even worst, have a terrible secret hidden away.
The main objective of any date is to get to know the other person, to find out if this is someone you want to spend more time with. If you make your date work too hard to discover anything genuine about you, they will quickly lose interest and won't be calling you back . This isn't Hollywood girls, the 'Enigmatic Beauty' isn't looked at with romantic eyes, they are viewed with suspicion and caution.
There are only two types of women who conceal their true selves and play games with any , arguable, benefits to their careers or lives. Spies and Prostitutes, and neither career is advanced by having a strong and stable relationship.
Try Something New
This is your chance to recreate yourself, to make up for any mistakes you have made in past relationships. Human beings should be ever evolving specimens, learning from our biggest disappointments and successes and using them to shape who we become. Nothing should ever stop us from growing.
Some people find this harder than others, we here at 'Middle Age Milf' have met many men and women that don't seem to have changed since they were 17 years old, and they will have had plenty of opportunities to do so. There are few bigger opportunities in life to make something better of yourself than coming out of a serious relationship and starting afresh, don't let it slip you by.
This is your chance to be the person you've always wanted to be, the time to be proud of your passions and find someone who shares that same drive. Otherwise, what other options do you have? Continue on like you have for as long as you can remember? How did that work out for you last time? The harsh reality is, you made a choice at some point that lead you to reading an article on how to start dating after divorce, the only question is what choices will you make now you have another chance?
Don't waste your chances, before too long you'll find they've all but dried up.
Don't Somersault Before You Can Walk
We all want to fall head over heels in love, we all want to find the right person to share our lives and the good and bad with. The feeling that makes you want to cartwheel across the floor, urges you to run ad hump and leap with joy, is an addictive emotion. But it rarely comes easily. If you expect to find love on your first date, you are only going to be disappointed. The dating game is full of twists, turns, uneven surfaces and harsh terrain, it has to be navigated carefully, but if you do navigate it, often it's smooth sailing ahead.
Whilst you shouldn't dwell on the fact it has been a long time since you have done this, you should also have respect for the truth. Like a prisoner released from jail it will take you a while to find your bearings in the real world. Before your marriage you might have been successful on the dating scene, but that doesn't matter now, the scene will have changed, pitfalls will be around every corner, and if you don't tread carefully, if you act like you can handle the changes in your stride, you will have a harsh fall.
It will happen for you, you will be victorious in the dating game, but it won't happen instantly, you won't find the 'One' on your first big date. But don't worry, it may take time but it will happen, and when it does you'll feel like your on top of the world.
Beware of Vanity
Vanity is your biggest enemy, above every other threat you will face when you step back into the single jungle, this is the one that can deal you a fatal blow. Everybody knows just how unattractive an egomaniac can be, despite goddess like beauty if you come across as in love with yourself, no-one will think you deserve theirs.
We're not just talking about superficial vanity, the dangers of that are well known and documented, it's the deeper level we're talking about. It's so very easy after being through an unsuccessful marriage to think you know all the answers, that your past relationship failures and successes make you a qualified expert in the field. You know how best to handle love, because you know what you did right, and wrong, the last time around.
Don't be so vain as to think your date wants to hear all about why your past past partners were wrong, no-one wants to know about how you were slighted or betrayed. They don't care about who you used to be, it's not relevant to them, they want to know who you are now, and what you can become to them.
Vanity is the shield of the weak, it's only strength is confidence, often misguided and misplaced. However if you recognise the vanity, and can control and direct it to your advantage, a long and happy union may await. However, if Vanity overcomes you, your future is lonely and bleak.
Saturday 8th February
”It's not different, you will always be Travis Roberts, you will always be GIW's longest reigning champion, you will always be the most charismatic and charming individual in any room, probably city, that you're in. Nothing changes that, you Travis, are always 'The Blessed One'”
Travis takes a deep breath and opens the door of the limousine, and stood waiting outside of her condo building is the red haired beauty that is Claudia-Jean Jensen, looking more radiant than he remembered.
”Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit!”
Travis is speechless as he looks agog at his first date in over a decade, she blushes and steps forward to greet him.
~~~
Travis manages to pull some small talk out of his backside during the drive to the restaurant, he remembered to compliment her on how she looked, he even managed to shrug off the fact she didn't return the favour despite the fact he too had dressed up for the occasion. He even remembered not to state that “Travis Roberts was not meant to drive himself to places, 'The Blessed One' was born to be driven.” when CJ enquired about the limo, he passed it off as wanting to do something special for her. She blushed, he danced inside.
When they finally arrive at the restaurant Travis steps out of the limousine and it takes a few moments before people actually recognise him, as tonight Travis is not wearing the trademark Aviators, jeans and leather jacket he is so well known for, instead he is dressed in an expensive Tuxedo he purchased just for tonight (and she didn't even mention it). He helps her out of the car and they walk inside the restaurant.
As soon as they walk in the Maitre d' hustles up towards them.
Maitre d' – 'Ahhh, Meester Travus! So wonderful to see you again, and with such a spezimin of beauty. You're table iz right thees way.'
As the Maitre d' takes them to their table, candle lit next to the windows with a stunning view of the ocean, Travis is visibly annoyed with something. As they take their seats and CJ begins to look through the menu, Travis excuses himself politely and then strides back towards the Maitre d's podium. When he gets there he grabs the man, subtly by the arm, which takes him by surprise as if he had little or no peripheral vision and coerces him into the kitchen.
His eyes are bulging out, and he has even broken into a sweat as he slams the man against the wall.
Travis – 'Specter, what in the name of fuck are you doing!?!? Have you any idea what Travis Roberts will do to you if you screw this up for him?'
Nathan slowly peels off the fake moustache he has been wearing and raises his hands in the air.
Nathan – 'I'm not trying to ruin anything, I just didn't know how else to get in contact with you, I know your flying out tomorrow and then you'll be focused on the show.'
Travis gives Specter a look that suggests that he has not explained a goddamn thing.
Nathan – 'And the thing is, Infinity is just a couple of days away, and we haven't had a discussion yet.'
Travis looks at Nathan like he's just told him that hot dogs make the best form of defence against gorilla attacks.
Travis – ''The Blessed One' can only apologise for him forgetting all about our pre-Pay-Per-View chats that we have absolutely never had in the history of 'The Headliners' storied career.'
Nathan raises his eyebrows and leans in.
Nathan – 'I know, but this Pay-Per-View is different?'
Travis once again looks at Nathan like he just strode out of Wal-Mart naked, covered in peanut butter and declared himself the reincarnation of John Candy.
Travis – 'Travis Roberts is well aware of what the upcoming Pay-Per-View entails, he came close to winning the Global Challenge once before. However what 'The Most Influential Icon in Sports Entertainment this Millennia' fails to see is how you can offer him anything that could possibly help on Monday night.'
Nathan – 'Well maybe not on Monday, but afterwards, when you win, I'm sure I can be of some use. Isn't that why you brought me along when you re-entered the company, for a moment like this?'
Travis – 'Travis Roberts was under the impression that he had no choice but to let you tag along after eD foolishly lost half his agency in a game of 'Go Fish' with you.”
Nathan visibly deflates, like someone who had hoped for an anthology of Oscar Winning Films for Christmas, but instead received a comprehensive Adam Sandler boxset. He looks at Travis with puppy dog eyes.
Nathan – 'You mean you haven't considered me for the Creative Director position?'
Travis just smiles.
Travis – 'Of course Travis Roberts has considered you, he'd be foolish not to.'
A look of relief sweeps over his face, like realising that Grown Ups 2 was not included in the boxset.
Nathan – 'So should I start looking for apartments in Chicago?'
His voice so full of hope.
Travis – 'Like everyone else you're just gonna have to watch the PPV'
~~~
After the rocky start to the evening the date starts to settle into a nice flow. The initial conversation revolves around favourite movies and music, Travis almost falls in love instantly the moment CJ mentions her favourite film is Spinal Tap, and then they spend the next twenty minutes interspersing there conversation with quotes from David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls.
And the evening continues on in such a fashion, both parties leaning in towards one another laughing and talking, clearly enjoying one another’s company. So wrapped up in one another they barely notice their plates being cleared, or food being delivered to their table, their eyes lay firmly on one another. So enamoured by one another they barely notice that their next bottle of wine seemingly floats at the side of the table, Travis without looking tastes to his satisfaction and then pours his date a glass.
From Beneath The Tray – 'DA' PAUILLAC IMPERIAL, 2005, DAT BE A BALLIN' CHOICE MA NIGGA...UH...I MEAN A FABULOUS WINE SIR, ENJOY YOUR MEAL...'
As the tray waddles off away from the couple it takes a few moments for Travis' ears to catch up with his infatuated brain, and when it does panic crosses his eyes, when CJ enquires if everything is all right, he once again excuses himself, and as calmly as possible starts to chase down the waddling waiter. He follows behind him cautiously until they turn a corner out of view of other diners and as they do Travis draws his leg back and then punts the waiter through the air and through the door to the bathroom. As the tray crashes to the floor Travis dives in.
When he does Boss Penguin rolls around on the floor frantically, flippers flapping in the wind, his eyes look towards Travis.
Boss P – 'YO, HELP A NIGGA GET UPRIGHT HOMIE?'
Travis grabs him with force, squeezing him hard as he lifts...
Boss P – 'WATCH THE FEATHERS BRO''
Travis dumps him on the tiled bathroom floor and then leans down and puts his nose right against his beack.
Travis – 'You better have a damn good reason for being here'
Boss P – 'OF COURSE I DO NIGGA, YO' REALLY THINK DA BOSS WOULD WORK IN DA SERVICE INDUSTRY FOR EVEN ONE MINUTE IF IT AIN'T IMPORTANT! PLUS I DIDN'T NEED TO GET NO UNIFORM.'
Travis – ''The Headliner' thinks over the course of our relationship it has become quite clear that what the two of us consider important wildly differs. For a start 'The Blessed One' isn't a big fan of fish.'
Boss P – 'WELL YO' SHOULD BE HOMIE! DAT SHIAT IS DA' FOOD FOR DA' BRAIN, YA HEAR? WHY YO THINK DA' BOSS IS DA' SMARTEST BIRD YO' EVER MET?'
Travis shrugs.
Travis – 'Travis Roberts has always put it down to too much LSD in his youth...'
Boss P – 'BITCH YO' BE TRIPPIN'
Travis – 'That's what 'the Blessed One' thought, but then other people started seeing you too.'
It's at this point the door to the bathroom swings open and a legitimate waiter has clearly been sent to see what all the commotion is about, when he walks in to see a Professional Wrestler towering over a Penguin his brain can't quite comprehend what he's seeing. Travis spins round.
Travis – 'We're having a private discussion.'
Travis states this firmly and narrows his eyes as he looks at the waiter, who is smart enough to move on and ignore what he has just seen, even though it's a hard image to forget. Travis turns his attention back to the penguin.
Travis – 'So? Why are you here?'
Boss P – 'CHILL MA' NIGGA, DA' BOSS AIN'T TRYIN' TO COCK BLOCK YO' OR NUTTIN''
Travis – ''The Headliner' does not have all day? He'll quite happily pluck your feathers and get them to serve you up as a rare delicacy.'
Boss P – 'A'IGHT A'IGHT, NO NEED TO GET YO' PANTIES IN A TWIST, JUST WANTED TO HOLLA' AT YO' ABOUT DA CREATIVE DIRECTOR SPOT DAT IS 'BOUT TO OPEN UP'
Travis throws his head back and exhales deeply, wishing he was able to light up and almost panicking when he realises how long he's gone without a pre-rolled.
Travis – 'Not this shit again, does nobody respect the sanctity of a 'Headliner' date? More to the point, does no-one have 'The Blessed One's cell number? Are you being serious?'
Boss P's eyes narrow.
Boss P – 'DEADLY, YO! IT'S TIME FOR DA' BOSS TO GET BACK IN DA' BIG TIME, YO' KNOW DAT DA FANS BE SCREAMIN FOR SOME P, WHEN DEY SEE HIM DA NIGGA'S GET ROWDY, DA NIGGARETTE'S GET WET!'
Travis rolls his eyes and starts to turn on his heel and exit, before he can Boss P flies himself across on his belly and grabs hold of his ankle with his flippers.
Boss P -'PLEASE, YO GOTTA HELP ME, SOME BIATCH IS TRYIN' TO STEAL MA' GIMMICK?'
Travis stops and looks down raising an eyebrow quizzically.
Travis – 'Travis Roberts was not aware that Danny Devito had put the prosthetics back on and joined UGWC...'
Boss P – 'NO, DAT' GIAN DOUCHENOZZLE, HE TRYIN' TO PASS OFF HIS WHACK ATTEMPT AT IMPERSONATING DA BOSS AS HIS OWN WORK. HOW ELSE AM I GONNA PUT DAT BIATCH IN HIS PLACE?'
Travis – 'You want 'The Blessed One' to name you Creative Director to mess with one of Jet Somers' fan boys?'
Before Boss P can respond, Travis turns and heads out of the door.
Boss P – 'JUST THINK ABOUT IT!'
~~~
We rejoin the date and Travis and CJ re still smiling and laughing, their desert plates pushed to the side and both still focusing singularly on the other.
CJ – 'So come on, tell me about your job.'
Travis – 'Right now it's not important, you don't want to hear about that.'
CJ – 'But I do! The way my sister talks about you, you're this larger than life legend, with an incredible passion for what you do...and I like a passionate man.'
An electric pause hangs in the air before Travis responds.
Travis – 'Thing is, when I start talking about it, I have the tendency not to stop.'
CJ - 'I really want to know, haven't you go a really important night on Monday? Vix said it was so important I couldn't keep you out too late, and it would be a terrible shame to not even know the reason why our evening will be coming to a premature end?'
Travis smiles as he takes in her red headed beauty in another scintillating moment of silence.
Travis – 'You think I'm that easy?'
He raises his eyebrows.
CJ – 'No..'
CJ looks at him with a smile that beams confidence.
CJ - 'I just know I'm that good.'
Travis likes this girl.
CJ – 'So come on, what's so important your going to miss out on a fantastic night with me?'
Travis – 'The Global Challenge, an eight competitor, one night, tournament that's held annually?'
CJ – 'Like the Play-Off's for Wrestling, in one night? That sounds like hard work.'
Travis – 'It's one of the toughest prizes you can achieve in this game, and it's one that I came so close to a few years ago.'
Travis looks away from CJ for the first time since we rejoined the couple and he stares out of the window.
CJ – 'That does sound important.'
Travis – 'It's one of the things I promised myself I'd achieve, but it's so much bigger than that this year, it's not just about me this time, so much more is at stake.'
CJ – 'What do you mean'
Travis – 'It's not just my legacy, my history that is in the balance this time around. You see, the winner also gets to choose a new Creative Director, that's the person that decides who gets exposure, who gets the spotlight, they basically steer the direction of the show wherever they see fit.'
CJ considers this, looking genuinely interested, much to Travis' internal surprise.
CJ – 'That does sound like an important position'
Travis – 'It really is, and it was the bright idea of another of our bosses to put the direction of the company in the hands of whoever wins this tournament, and if you only knew the other competitors like I do, you'd really understand how grave a situation this company could be in.'
CJ – 'Enlighten me.'
Travis' jaw drops...
Travis – No, I've bored you enough already, you don't need to hear about my worries.'
CJ – 'You'll soon know me well enough to know I only ever say what I mean.'
Travis – 'Only if your sure.'
CJ – 'I'm sure.'
Travis – 'Well first there is Eden, she's a young girl, former world champion and she has a great deal of heart. Vix looks up to her, and in the ring I'm not sure there has ever been a better role model for your sister. Out of the ring however she seems to have a habit of making questionable decisions, especially when it comes to professional, and dare I say it, personal relationships.
Travis – 'Then there's KVK, this dude can really handle himself in the ring when he wants to, but even if he does take the Global Challenge seriously, it doesn't mean his judgement will be clear. From what I can tell this is a man who has had a history of following, often being a reliable right hand man, whether it to an egomaniac, or the wives of the leaders of a motorcycle club, I dread to think what he would do given the chance to make a decision that impacts so many others.'
Travis – 'There's also this kid JK, he's been around for a while, but he's still a kid. He goes through phases but he clearly hasn't found his own direction yet, which is understandable in one so young, but not the qualities of someone you want handling the potential future of your company. Are you sure this isn't boring you?
CJ shakes her head without taking her eyes off of Travis'.
Travis – 'Then there is Raenius, the less you know about him the better I think, it's probably safer you that way. Phrixus Deimos, he calls himself Fear, would probably have the most intellectual of choices, but it's unlikely to be anything that would propel the company forward. He's a man who lives in the past, dwells on things that he should just leave alone, and eternally obsesses over things he cannot change. He has no real idea how to shape the future, only how to rectify the past.
Travis – From what I've seen of Remi Monroe he's one of the most athletic youngsters to break into this profession in years. But for each of the amazing moves he posses, he also has a flaw in his character to match. Possibly the most entitled person in the industry, and if you get to know it better you'll see what a statement that is, and prone to satisfying his urges however and whenever he pleases. It wouldn't surprise me if he chose some vapid adult film star to lead us forward.
Travis – 'People say that Alan Wallace has a lot in common with me, and it is fair to say we have a similar style in our work, and much of the man they call Vain's mannerisms match my own. The thing is, much like Phrixus for too long he's looked back, and it's meant he's been just behind the curve since he returned, it wouldn't surprise me if he started Lucid Dreaming just a couple of months after I did. Who knows, maybe Vain's pick would be something along the same lines of my thinking, it just might take him a little longer.'
Trvais – 'So you can see what a dark place the company is in, it's fate lies in the judgement of these people...'
Travis stops talking and he looks out of the window once more. As he stares at the night sky and the waves lapping at the beach, CJ looks at him, smiling before she has a question.
CJ – 'But aren't you also entered in the tournament?'
Travis snaps his attention away from the view and back to her eyes...
Travis – 'Yes.'
She smiles and leans across the table and gives him a soft kiss.
CJ – 'Then everything will be OK.'
~~~
The limo is pulled to the side, and Travis walks CJ up to the doors of her building she turns and puts her arms around his shoulders.
CJ – 'We talked about my family, but not about yours?'
Travis visibly stiffens up and becomes uncomfortable for the first time tonight.
Travis – ''The Headliner' cut ties with his genetic relations years ago, and has nothing to say about them.'
CJ just tilts her head to the side and gives him a comic frown as if to say poor baby, before giving him a long and passionate kiss.
CJ – 'Sure you do..'
She turns and open her door, before turning back.
CJ – 'Family isn't just about blood, it's the people you share those special moments with, like birthdays, Christmas...and Superbowl Sunday.'
And with that she disappears into her building, leaving Travis awestruck on the steps after a night he never expected.
