It was a rainy Thursday night and Brittany and her best friend Theresa were watching Thunder.
"Wow. Billy Kidman is looking good tonight," Brittany said.
"Who's he wrestling," Theresa asked from the kitchen. She was popping some popcorn.
"Don't know yet," Brittany said entering the kitchen. "It went to commercial." Just then a bright streak of lighting shot across the sky and thunder boomed. Brittany jumped, "God I hate storms!"
"Grow up, Britt," Theresa giggled.
"Do you need any help," Brittany asked as she shot Theresa a dirty look.
"Yeah. Grab some sodas from the fridge. The popcorn is all done."
" Crap. No sodas. Are there any in the fridge in the garage?"
"I think so I'll go check."
"No you made the popcorn I'll get the sodas. You go let me know what I miss."
"K," Theresa said heading into the living room. Brittany went into the garage and put on the light. She hated storms, they always made everything seem so dreary and creepy. Even with the light on the garage seemed spooky.
She made her way to the fridge and got out four cans of soda, but she was in a rush to get back to the living room so she dropped a couple. "Clutz!! I am such a damned clutz," she said bending over to get the soda. Another boom of thunder and lightning lit up the sky. Brittany got startled again and cracked the back of her head on the cabinet next to the fridge.
As she slipped into blackness she heard Theresa yelling, "Oh my god! Britt you gotta see this match!"
When she regained consciousness to her surprise she heard loud cheering and whistling. She also heard a man's voice.
"Are you ok," the voice asked. Brittany opened her eyes and was shocked to see Billy Kidman stading over her with a sweet look of concern on his face. "Are you ok? Do you need a doctor?" "I think I'll be ok," Brittany said getting to her feet. She was kinda wobbly so Billy helped her get her balance. "What happened? My head is killing me," Brittany asked him rubbing the back of her head.
"I'm not really sure. I was on the top turnbuckle about to do the shooting star press to Juvi when out of the corner of my eye I saw you fall. I thought maybe someone got you from behind, but there was no one at ringside. I lost the match, but I don't care. I was worried about you," he said and helped her walk to the backstage area. "Maybe we can look at the monitors when they show a replay." They made their way to the back and found a monitor.
From the replay it appeared that Brittany tripped over some wires, fell backwards and hit her head on the metal guardrail. She was wearing black boots with big spike heels on them so her balance was a little off.
"No wonder my head hurts so much," she said still rubbing it. "I wish you hadn't seen me at my most clutziest."
Billy just smiled at her and said, "I've seen you do worse, hun." She thought this was kind of odd because as far as she knew she had never met Billy Kidman before. Then it dawned on her, why else would she be at ringside? Of course! She was some kind of valet to Billy Kidman. Her head was reeling as well as throbbing as he guided her to the locker room area. She could not believe that she was Billy Kidman's valet. He was her all time favorite wrestler.
"I'm gonna go shower and change into my street clothes. Maybe you should go to your locker room and change out of those shoes and into some decent clothes," he said.
"What's wrong with my outfit," Brittany asked and then caught her reflection in a mirrored surface. "Oh," she said blushing. She was wearing a white bra top, tight, denim short shorts, and the black high heeled boots. Her long brown hair was pulled back in a tight braid. The outfit looked good on her trim athletic body, but it was a lot less than what she was used to wearing. "Where's the ladies locker room again?"
"Down the hall, second door to the right. Want me to help you to the door?"
"No. I'll be fine Billy. Thanks," she said and headed down the hall.
"Meet me in my locker room in about a 1/2 hour ok. It's the last door on the left over here ok," Billy said. Brittany waved an ok and walked slowly to the end of the hall. Along the way Buff Bagwell passed her.
"I saw you take a nasty spill. Are you ok," he asked her with his adorable smile.
"Yeah. I'm ok. Thanks for your concern," she told him.
"Oh ok cause if you weren't I would have carried you to the doctor," he said and smiled at her again. All she could do was giggle. She could not believe it, Buff Bagwell was flirting with her! She thanked him for being so sweet and he flashed his famous smile one more time and said goodbye. She finally made it to the locker room and found a locker marked "BRITTANY" in big black letters. She opened the locker and found what she assumed was her bag and got out a powder blue T-shirt and jeans and white sneakers. She then took a shower got dressed and headed for Billy's locker room.
Brittany's head was still throbbing, but it was a dull throb and a lot less painful than it had been when she first opened her eyes. When she reached Billy's door she knocked, but there was no answer. She tried the doorknob, it was open so she went in and sat down to wait for him. Billy came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel.
Brittany took one look at him and said, "Oh my god! I'm sorry. I didn't know you weren't dressed yet!"
"What's the matter with you Britt? You've seen me naked," he replied.
"What?!! I've seen you naked," Brittany exclaimed. "Are we a couple or something?"
"We're engaged silly," Billy said looking concerned. "You know I think that bump on your head has affected you more than you think. I'm gonna take you to the emergency room. You need to see a doctor."
"No, Billy really I'm fine."
"I don't think so, babe. I mean we have been engaged for 6 months and a couple for the past year and a half and you don't remember any of it. You, young lady, are going to the hospital and that's that."
"Fine. Just because you are a couple of years older than me you think that you can boss me around," she said and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Now that sounds more like my Brittany, but you are still going to the hospital as soon as I get dressed," he said and ruffled her hair which she had taken out of the braid so that her long brown curls cascaded down to her waist.
As she sat and waited she was trying to absorb all the information Billy had just told her. "Me and Billy engaged? That can't be," she said to herself. Then she looked down at her hand and saw a beautiful diamond ring. "Ok. Don't freak out. This is your dream come true. You are going to marry Billy Kidman." She had to contain her excitement because Billy came out of the bathroom all dressed and ready to go. She couldn't help staring at him. He looked so good in his navy blue T-shirt and jeans and his wet, jet black hair was pulled back into a pony tail. "Ready to go," he asked. She nodded and got up to leave, but before she did she just had to do something. She walked over to Billy and kissed him softly on the lips. "Wow. What was that for?" "Just because," she said and winked at him. They went to the hospital and the doctor performed a CAT scan on Brittany. It turned out that Brittany had a slight concussion.
"This concussion could be the cause of her amnesia," the doctor said. "Just try not to do anything too strenuous. Since we don't know what caused her amnesia, I can't say if she will ever get back her memory. Just get some rest is all I can tell you."
They left the hospital and went to their hotel. It was about midnight once they got to their room and they had to catch a flight to Atlanta at 8am so they decided to try to get some rest like the doctor suggested, but Billy was worried about Brittany and sleep wasn't an option for him.
"You know I asked you not to wear those boots at ringside. I had a feeling that you would fall," he said to Brittany slightly annoyed. "I hate it when you dress like that too. I mean I know you are supposed to be my valet and you are just trying to match what I wear, but couldn't you wear your clothes a little more baggy?"
"Oh yeah. Imagine how distracting I would be wearing baggy shorts and a big T-shirt. You know why I dress that way, Billy, it was your idea," Brittany said defensively.
"It was my idea for you to wear tight clothing not bearly there, skin tight clothing," Billy said raising his voice a little. Brittany didn't like where this conversation was heading. Just then there was a knock at the door. It was Rey Mysterio, jr and Konnan.
"Hey guys. Britt are you ok? That was a pretty nasty fall you took tonight. Juvi didn't do that to you did he? Cause if he did I'll mess him up for you," Rey said.
"Yeah," said Konnan.
"You guys are sweethearts, but Juvi didn't touch me," Brittany said smiling at them. She didn't realize that they were all friends behind the scenes too.
"She fell because of those boots I asked her not to wear,"Billy said heading to the door. "I'm gonna go get some ice, Britt, I'll be back in a few minutes."
"What's with him," Rey and Konnan both asked after he left the room.
"I guess he didn't like my choice of outfits tonight," she said shrugging.
"Well, it was kind of skimpy tonight," Rey said and Konnan agreed.
"I don't see how it is any different from what I usually wear," Brittany said defensively. Meanwhile she was thinking how do I normally dress? While they were talking Billy came back with the ice and overheard her last statement.
"Hey guys, I think I need to talk to Britt alone."
"Ok we'll see you on the plane," Rey and Konnan said. They gave Brittany a kiss on the cheek and left.
"Ok, Billy, what's on your mind," Brittany said sitting on the bed.
Billy sat down next to her and said, "Ok, here's what is bothering me. When I saw you dressed so skimpy tonight I was kinda afraid that you might catch another guys eye and he'll steal you away from me. I don't want to loose you to someone like a Buff Bagwell or a Nash."
"Billy, don't be silly! I love you and no one can steal me away from you. Buff is gorgeous, but he's not my type and Nash is way too tall for me. Can you see us walking hand in hand? He's 7 feet tall and I am 5'9" besides that I am with you," Brittany said with hurt in her voice and tears in her eyes. She hated to get into arguments because she always began to cry. It was something that she had done since childhhood and nothing had changed now that she was 21 years old.
"I'm sorry, Britt," he said and embraced her. "I can't help being jealous and concerned especially since you wore that outfit tonight and then you fell and...." Brittany looked up at Billy and kissed him passionately. This was something that she had dreamt about since she became a WCW fan. "Ok. I'll take that as my cue to shut up," he said smiling at her.
"How about this, I never wear those little bra tops and short shorts ever again. I'll wear tight jeans and belly shirts and shoes with chunky heels or sneakers. What do you think?"
"Sounds good to me. You know we have to get up and pack for Atlanta in about 6 hours maybe we should get ready for bed," Billy said. "Ladies first," he gestured towards the bathroom. Brittany got her bag and went into the bathroom. All she could find was a big T-shirt, which she assumed was Billy's. So she changed into the shirt, brushed her teeth and went to their bed. She was slowly becoming aware that she was going to be lying in a bed with Billy Kidman and it took all her might to keep her composure.
"That's where my favorite shirt went," he said smiling at her. "It looks great on you, hun." he said and kissed the tip of her nose. He went into the bathroom and got changed for bed. When he got in bed he was wearing nothing, but a pair of black boxer breif undies. Brittany couldn't help, but stare. he looked great, better than she had ever imagined.
"I'm kinda tired so can we just lie here until we fall asleep," Billy asked yawning a little. Brittany was kind of disappointed that she wouldn't be able to live out her entire fantasy, but she thought there is allways tomorrow. "Sure, my head is kinda throbbing yet anyway." He laid down in the bed next to her and put his arms around her. She rested her head on his chest so thaat she could hear his heart beating.
"I was checking out churches for our wedding and I think we might be able to have the wedding in the one 5 blocks from our apartment. You know the one that you like so much. The one that looks like a castle. Remember," he asked.
"It sounds familiar," Brittany said through a yawn. She was begining to doze off. He kissed her forehead and continued to talk about their wedding. Brittany hugged Billy and said dreamily, "I love you." He felt so real to her and as he continued to talk about their wedding she drifted off into sleep. When she opened her eyes she was back in the garage and her head was throbbing again.
"Hey Britt you're missing the whole match," Theresa yelled from the living room. Brittany got up and dusted herself off. "It couldn't have been a dream. It was too real."
"What was too real," Theresa asked entering the garage.
"How long have I been in here?"
"Maybe 3 or 4 minutes. What happened? You look a bit dizzy," Theresa said helping Brittany walk a little.
"I'm not sure. I think I hit my head on the cabinet when I heard that thunder rumble and I had the strangest dream while I was out."
"Tell me about it during the next commercial. Billy is wrestling Disco, but it was at commercial. I think it's back now. I gotta see if Disco shakes his cute little ass again."
The girls got the sodas and headed into the living room to finish watching Thunder. at the commercial Brittany told Theresa about her dream.
"Wow girl! That was the best dream ever. I wish I could have a dream like that about Buff." Billy beat Disco and Brittany was happy not just because he won, but because for a few minutes she felt like she was really engaged to him. The best part of the dream was how real the kisses felt and they were even better than she had imagined they would be.
Later that night the girls lay in bed in Theresa's room chatting. Brittany suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion sweep over her and she fell into a deep sleep. The bump on her head a slight throb now.
The End
