Secret Life

 

 

Chapter 1


I guess every one really leads a secret life…and I’m no exception…there are a lot of things that people don’t know about me…I just recently started working for the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment)…I started off working at Titan Towers with Stephanie McMahon on a lot of the executive things…but then about 3 weeks ago they moved me into writing scripts for the wrestlers, so now I’m on the wrestling tour with them…The only ones who really know my whole story is the McMahon family…they helped me when I needed it the most…


When ever anyone saw me, I constantly had a cell-phone and a laptop with me at all times…those two items were never seen being out of my hands…especially when I was away from the hotel…I guess I’ve really been running my whole life…ever since I can remember…I took off at 15 and just haven’t been able to stop running…along the way I’ve lived in California, Michigan, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma…currently I have an apartment in Chicago, Illinois. I know you’re wondering why all the traveling and moving around…and why all the secrecy…but with everything that has happened, it’s the best…I’ll get into why in a little while.


My name is Nina Chambers…well for now it is…My real name is Maxine Stone…but like I said before the only people who know my real name are the McMahon’s. I’m 21 years-old…I have bright red hair down to my waist…it used to be short and blonde, but with all the traveling and moving around from one place to another, I had to change it, so I dyed it and let it grow longer…I have dark blue eyes, but I usually wear green, purple, gray, or brown contacts outside of the hotel room…I’m 5’9” and 125-130 lbs…I try to keep myself in shape, I love jogging in the mornings, and when I’m at the hotel I usually get up around 4:30 and go jogging for 30 minutes, it burns off stress and fear…I usually go to the gym about once a week with Stephanie…she decided to come on the tour with me, to help keep me company…

It was nice to have someone to talk to all the time…she was a nice girl and we got along really well, after having been through hell in a hand basket, any type of friend was great…we had a nice friendship thing going on…she loved to ask questions, which didn’t bother me…I knew she was just curious about everything and I was glad to answer…she was never nosy enough to ask too many personal questions, that she knew I probably wouldn’t answer or would try like hell to avoid answering…

So I’ve been working as a writer for the WWE for the last 5 months, and I’ve become friends with quite a few of the wrestlers, almost all of them…There were still a few of them who I hadn’t met and wasn’t really sure about meeting them…but it was all good…I had just recently started a script dealing with a feud between Mark Calloway (Undertaker), Glenn Jacobs (Kane), Dwayne Johnson (Rock) & Steve Williams (Steve Austin)…Well little did I know, but Mark and Steve hadn’t gotten along for years upon years, since they had both been signed to the company…

The story with that was Mark had been dating a lady for a while, when Steve showed up like some knight in shining armor and swept her off her feet and they had gotten married…which really pissed Mark off, which is understandable…which meant that the writers kept Mark and Steve away from the ring at the same time…if one was down there, the other was not written in…and vise versa…it was just basically for the safety of the other wrestlers and for the fans.


Apparently, they had actually let them fight it out one night and both were then put on the injured list for a year…they had broken arms, ribs, punctured lungs, broken, fingers and toes, a broken nose…Steve had some missing teeth…and missing hair, which is why he shaves his head now…it was just one big bloody brawl mess...they were both sidelined with tons and tons of injuries…that it actually took them a year to fully heal..


 Chapter 2


When I went to Vince with the idea, he loved it, they hadn’t been in the ring together in years, and it was time for them to stop acting like children, settle their problems, and get on with life…when he told Mark and Steve the idea…obviously not at the same time…Mark went crazy…he was royally pissed off…Steve was just okay with it…he had actually missed being in the ring with someone who he had at one time favored as a really good friend…


I was sitting in my office at the arena, working on the script with Stephanie…when some one banged…I’d say knock, but that wasn’t a knock…someone banged on my door…Steph said, “God Lord, Come in.” The door swung open and Mark was standing in the door way, Steph said, “Uh, Nina, I think it’s for you.” I looked over and said, “C’mon in Mark.” Brushing off the threatening tone in his glare. He walked in and Mark said, “Steph, would you let me and Ms. Chambers have a moment please?”


Steph scooted out of her chair and then out the door…Mark closed the door and I said, “I’m guessing from the looks you’re giving me that you’re not liking the new story line right?” Mark said, “You got that right.” I said, “Really, you know what I have to say to that?” Mark said, “No what’s that?” I said, “Tough.” Mark looked over the rim of his dark sunglasses and said, “Excuse me?” I said, “You’re excused.” Mark said, “Do you know who the hell I am?” Raising his voice, obviously getting more pissed at every word. I said, “Ask me if I care?” Mark walked over and leaned over until he was in my face and he said, “I’m telling you…I’m not even going to warn you…I’m telling you right now, this little story line you’ve got going…is not going to happen…I don’t care if I have to take 3 months off, or if I have to beat it into you…but it’s not going to happen…”


I said, “Time out…do you really think I’m scared of you? Because I hate to burst your bubble…I’m not…You don’t put fear into me…I’ve been through enough in my life, that you couldn’t even begin to give me fear shivers…so go and boss someone else around…and if you take 3 months off, the script will be waiting to be put in your hot little hands when you get back…so have a nice vacation but when you get back, be prepared to become an adult and cut the shit. I’ve already got Vince’s approval for it, so guess what, whether you want it to or not….it’s going down big man…” Mark backed me into a corner…and said, “And I’m telling you don’t piss me off…I’m not going to do the fucking story line, so work on something else…because I refuse to do it…” I said, “Make a bet.”


Mark picked up my laptop and threw it across the room and into the wall and I watched as it crumbled into a million pieces…as he was walking out the door he said, “Can’t write it if you don’t have your precious laptop…” I said, “I hate to burst your bubble again, but story lines are saved on disks…you know the little pieces of plastic that are inside the laptops…and yours wasn’t in that laptop…so it really doesn’t matter what you did to it…you’ll never find the disk…and you will be doing the story line.” I just had to dig my heels in a little deeper…I should of kept my big mouth shut…remember when I said I wasn’t scared of Mark…well until he got up close and personal, I wasn’t…now I WAS!!!


Mark walked back over and grabbed me by the throat and held me like 3 feet off the ground against the wall by throat. I was deifinitly having some problems getting some air…Mark said, “I’m not doing the God damn story line and I’m telling you now, change it with someone else, or I swear you’ll be sorry you ever crossed me…” About that time, Stephanie and Vince walked in and Steph said, “Oh my god Nina..” Vince said, “Mark, put her down now…or I swear you’ll be fired so fast you’re head will spin.” Mark reluctantly put me down, and I was trying to catch my breath as Mark walked out and he said, “You remember everything I said.”


Chapter 3


Vince followed him out and bitched and yelled at him the entire time…Mark was forced to buy me a new laptop, and to also stay away from me…Vince told him whatever the writers did was always cleared through him, and since he was pretty much the boss…Mark had to do it…3 weeks later Mark was forced to do the story line…and in the back of his mind he was trying to figure out a way to pay me back…he wanted revenge so bad he could practically taste it…


Glenn said, “Mark, I think you should just leave her alone…Nina got everything approved through Vince, and besides it’s not like she knew what was going on with you and Steve…she found out after she wrote the story line…” Mark said, “Shut up…man you become a girl more and more every day…that bitch could of put someone else’s name in it…she could have changed it…” Glenn said, “Yea, but it would of only worked with Steve…you guys have crazy ring characters…and the story line would of only worked with you and Steve…it all went off without a hitch…you guys didn’t kill each other…and you don’t have to wrestle anymore…”


Mark said, “I don’t care…there’s just something about her that’s got me in deep thought about her…I mean don’t you ever wonder why she never sticks around after the tapings, she never does anything with any of the wrestlers…she doesn’t talk about a past…like she doesn’t have one…she’s got way to many secrets…something is up…and I wanna know what…” Glenn said, “Dude, maybe she prefers to keep her life private…maybe she doesn’t want to deal with any of us…maybe she’s just interested in one thing only…writing…” Mark said, “Glenn…everyone of the wrestlers have asked her to join us when we got to the bar, or when we plan on doing lunch or dinners…she didn’t even go to the McMahon x-mas party and every one goes to that…it’s like she’s got some social disease…she’s like the big ice queen around here…the ice bitch from hell…she’s just so wrapped up in fucking with peoples lives for a story line…well maybe it’s time someone fucked with hers and see how hot she likes it.”


Which just totally set a plan in motion…I was sitting back stage when Steph walked up to me…she looked around and noticed no one was around and said, “Hey Maxine…this mail was sent to my apt…I wanted to make sure you got it…” I smiled and said, “Thanks Steph…I know how much of a burden this is for you and your family…but I really appreciate it…and I’ll be out of your hair in a while…hopefully…the FBI is still watching my apt in Chicago, and I’m not allowed to go back yet…” Steph said, “Speaking of which, have you heard anything…I mean they didn’t catch you’re step father yet did they?” I said, “I talked to the detective earlier, and he said nothings changed…”


Steph said, “Oh…was it that really cute one Duane Austin?” I sighed and said, “Yea, he’s got on great voice girl…and that boy is so hot he could melt the rubber on my tenny shoes.” Steph laughed and she said, “Well don’t worry, you know as long as you’re with us, you’re totally safe…I mean, you don’t do any TV spots, so no one will see you…so frets…besides dad is liking the way you’re writing, and said after all this crap is over for you, he’d like to actually make you a permanent writer on the staff..” I said, “Wow, that would be great, but you know I already have a job in Chicago…I just happen to be dead in Chicago at the moment.” Steph said, “You look really good for a dead chic.” We both started laughing so hard…


Little did we know, but Mark, Glenn, Matt and Jeff Hardy, Amy Dumas (Lita) and a few other wrestlers had over heard our whole conversation…they were really pissed about it…they figured they had been lied to this whole time and that I had been lying to them about everything…so they decided to take matters into their own hands…

 

Chapter 4


I had recently started a story line involving Mark making a fool out of one of the female wrestlers for sleeping her way to the top…but Steph and I hadn’t really figured out what female wrestler we were going to pick for it…the night came to do the story line, but we still hadn’t found one…we were standing back stage with everyone…and Vince was down in his office and me and Stephanie were going over everything, when Mark said, “Well, it seems since you wrote it…and you’re never on camera…it should be you…” I said, “Umm, no I can’t…I’m not allowed to be on camera…” Stephanie said, “Absolutely not…she’s a writer, not a wrestler…” Mark said, “Well, I think we should make an exception for tonight…” All of the other wrestlers standing around started agreeing…and I said, “No.”


Mark said, “Yup.” Mark grabbed my hands and threw me over his shoulder…I was trying to kick and hit my way out of a bad situation that was about to get worse…I said, “Stephanie you have to go call Detective Austin…Right now, tell him, I need him and explain why and where…I’m about to be outted on national television…” Stephanie nodded and took off to her dad’s office as Mark carried me out and down to the ring…stood me in the middle of it, and I was trying to keep my head down and my hair in my face…but Mark was pretty adamant about making sure the camera guy got in the ring to get a shot of my face, he started shoving me around the ring and hurt my back…as he went on with his script going off his lines…letting everyone know who I was…he didn’t give my real name…but it was bad enough my face was going to be on TV.


The fear started rising up from my toes and just started going up through my veins through my whole body…I knew, I absolutely knew my step father would see me, and I’d have to be on the run one more time…fearing him was the only thing I hated more then anything in my life…all the running, and moving never bothered me…some place new every 18 months wasn’t always that bad…but I thought that once I got this job, the whole moving from town to town every week, would be even better…as long as I never had to go back to Nebraska…


As soon as Mark was moving around the ring…I walked over and sat in the corner with my knees in my chest and my head down, the tears we falling slowly…I didn’t want to be on the run again…I wanted this to be something permanent for me…I was so tired of packing up my life and living out of boxes for the last 7 years…not being able to have friends, because I never could get quite close enough with anyone, before I was whisked away to another state…


The camera guy was still in my face, cause Mark threatened him and made him do it…I looked up and my face was on the titan tron…Mark looked up and saw the tears sliding down my cheeks…and knew that wasn’t part of the script and realized he just screwed up…he then looked over at me and I moved around and got out of the ring…walking pretty slow, cause my back was bothering me from when he was shoving me around…he watched me walk up the ramp…and back behind the curtain…

When I got to the back, I was met by Stephanie and Vince…they came to ask if I was okay, and I told them that my back was bothering me…a couple of minutes later, Mark walked back and just looked at me in the medical room as the doctor examined my back…he found I sprained all 5 of my lumbar vertebra’s from being pushed around…he told Vince about it…and Vince looked at Mark who was by now pretty much ashamed of what he’d done. The other wrestler’s started thinking the same thing, they shouldn’t have done it…


 Chapter 5

 

Stephanie walked into the medical room and said, “Nina, I got a hold of Detective Austin, but he can’t get to us for another week, they found your step father…and they don’t want to lose him, and also said if he comes after you, not to worry, cause they will be right behind him…he also said, if you need anything to give him a call…” I said, “Okay, thanks Steph. Thank god this is almost over, I can try and have a normal life again…” Steph said, “Will you ever go back to Nebraska?”


I said, “I don’t know…I think after this is all over and done with, I’ll take a small vacation, somewhere in a state I haven’t been…I mean I’ve covered more ground in 7 years, then the damn railroad…I might go back to visit my mothers grave…and get things out of storage, but I know I’ll never live there again…it was bad enough the first 15 years of my life…I’m not about to put myself through some special torture…I mean I think being on the run for 7 years is torture enough.”


Mark said, “Why were you on the run in the first place?” I said, “It’s a damn long story…one I could probably tell you, but right now, the doc is going to stick a needle in my spine to give me something for the pain…” Stephanie stayed and held my hand, she knew I hated needles with a passion…


When I walked out of the office…I had an ice pack actually taped to my back around my waist…All of us went back to the hotel and I told everyone to just come to my room and I would let them know what was happening…Everyone sat down, as I sat in the huge over stuffed chair in the corned and pulled all over my hair over my shoulder to rest in front of me…I hated sitting on my hair…it was a pain…


Amy said, “So why have we been calling you Nina, when we heard Steph call you Maxine?” I said, “We’ll, it’s just one of the many ‘names’ that the FBI gave me in my running…I’ve been on the run for the last 7 years of my life…When I was 15, my step father went on this crazy drunk rampage one night…he tied me to a chair in his and my mothers room, and tied her to the bed…and raped her in front of me…then he toyed with both of us for a while…he ended up shooting her in the head, and obviously killing her…I had my mother’s blood all over my t-shirt and shorts…My step father passed out and I actually untied myself and ran as fast as I could 6 blocks down in my bare feet and blood soaked pajamas to my cousins house around 3 am…the cops went over and picked up my step father…and found my mother…3 days later I buried my mother, and was sitting in a chair for the DA, testifying against my step father…”


Amy said, “Holy shit…So how did you end up here?” I said, “After the jury and judge found him guilty, they were in the process of transporting him to a state prison in Nebraska, something went really wrong, all of the inmates hijacked the prison bus, and escaped, everyone but my step father was captured within 3 hours…he started sending me death threats, he even signed them with his name, he didn’t care if the police knew or anyone…that’s when the state handed my case over to the FBI…every time I move to a different state, it takes him about 18 months or sometimes less to find me, and start sending death threats again…every time he’d send one, I’d have to be moved again…I have had 24 hours surveillance since I was 15…that is until I started working here, they figured if I was constantly on the move, he wouldn’t be able to find me…that’s why it was so easy to say yes to the job, because it was something I didn’t have to do in front of a camera, but I got to do the one thing I loved, write…I actually have a permanent job writing for the Chicago Sun Times, but it had to be put on hold cause someone broke into my apt, and they thought it might have been my step father, after they searched through the apt, they found his finger prints all over every thing…he didn’t even try to hide that it was him.”

Chapter 6


Mark said, “He doesn’t sound like a very bright guy.” I said, “You’d think right…on the contrary…he’s highly intelligent, he used to work for the secret service…he used to have access to tons of things, including FBI cases…he still has a friend there, all his other friends were found leaking him information about where my safe houses were and what state I was living in at the time…they were all thrown in prison for aiding a criminal on the run…they have one more guy in the system they are trying to find…but so far it’s no use…I feel like I’ve been running my whole life…”


Glenn said, “In some ways you have, I can’t imagine being that young, and running to save my life…I mean, how in the world have you done all of this without just giving up?” I said, “I honestly…don’t know…that’s why I freaked out tonight when you guys wanted Mark to take me out in front of the fans where the cameras were…because I know if he sees me, he’s got a ticket to find me anytime.”


Mark sighed heavy and said, “I wish you would of said something sooner to all of us…I would have been a little more inclined to leave you alone…I mean shit…I put your life in danger…here this whole time you’ve been here, I thought you was this massive Ice queen, because you never wanted to do anything with any of us…but the whole time you was just trying to keep your sanity and fear level down…by just sticking with one routine…Maxine, I’m sorry…” I said, “Don’t worry about it Mark…You are the most amount of people I’ve ever told this too…before tonight, the only people who knew were the McMahon’s, cause they were helping me…it felt really good to get all of this off my chest…I’ve been carrying this with me for 7 years…I haven’t been allowed to tell anyone…and at this point I figure who cares, if he wants me that bad….he can always find me…there’s really no place to hide me…”

The detective working on my case called my cell phone and I talked with him for a few minutes and found out that they were just about to snatch my step father, when one of there guys screwed up and he bolted and got away…


We all sat there talking for the rest of the night…Mark was pretty quiet…after everyone left Mark and Glenn stayed to talk some more with me and Steph…Mark said, “I have a thought…I don’t know how good it is, but it’s a thought.” I said, “Okay, what is your thought.” He said, “What if you stayed at my ranch…it’s in Houston Texas…no ones ever there, but me, and I’m barely there because of being on the road…it’s 25 miles out of town, it’s hard hardest thing to find with directions, and even worse without directions…unless you’ve been there once before…I can leave you money and credit cards…you can use my truck to get back and forth…I have a guy who comes once a week to mow the 75 acres of grass…there’s horses, you can ride them…the house is huge…no one for mils to bug you…”

I looked at Stephanie and she said, “You know Max, that wouldn’t be a bad idea…I’ve been to Mark’s ranch before…it’s gigantic…even if anyone found you staying there, they would be looking for days upon days throughout the property to just actually find you…” I said, “I dunno…”


Mark said, “Steph, if you want you could stay with her…” Steph said, “C’mon Max…it’s the best idea I’ve heard yet.” I said, “Okay, I’ll do it, but I have my own money…” Mark said, “Absolutely not, you don’t want anything to be tied to you…if someone sees money being taken from your account from a Texas ATM, they can figure it out fast. I’ll leave my credit card for you, and I’ll be by once a week to see if you need anything…”


I looked at Steph and said, “Let’s do this…”


Steph said, “Oh goodie a vacation.”  We looked at each other and started laughing sooooo hard…


Chapter 7


In the morning, Glenn and Mark flew with us back to Houston Texas…then we drove for like 45 minutes to Mark’s ranch…when we got there, I was in awe at the place…it was so beautiful…I said, “Oh my gosh Mark, it’s gorgeous.” Mark was carrying my bag and said, “So I take it you like it?” I said, “Like it? Good lord, I love it…it’s so beautiful.” Mark laughed and said, “Why does everyone say that…It’s supposed to look like a place where 16 men live…but every time a woman comes out here, they always says it’s beautiful…” Glenn said, “It never fails…”


Steph and I followed the guys into the house, and Mark gave us the nickel tour while taking our bags up to the rooms…Mark said, “There’s only two bedrooms, I figured if I ever got remarried and had kids I’d build onto it…but haven’t yet…so I’m going to put you in my room, since it’s got some homey touches, I want you to feel comfortable here…” I said, “I don’t know Mark, I mean, Me and Steph can always share the guest room.” Mark said, “No way, you’ll be fine in here…don’t worry about it…besides my bed is huge and it’s very soft, you’ll love it…I promise…”


I said, “Okay…thanks Mark. I really appreciate this.” Mark said, “No thanks necessary…I’m just sorry we got off to a bad start…I didn’t realize what a monster I was being until Glenn pointed it out…and I’m really sorry about everything…but now I think we can actually have a normal friendship…” I said, “I think I would like that.” And smiled at him… We were on our way back down to start some lunch when we passed the guest bedroom and Glenn had Stephanie in a mean lip lock…if you hadn’t noticed, Glenn and Steph had been dating for a while…Mark stuck his head in the room and said, “Get a room…” Glenn said, “I got one.” Mark said, “No, I meant one that isn’t in my house…” Glenn looked around and said, “Nope.” I laughed a little and Mark pulled the door closed and we continued to the kitchen. We made some lunch and talked a little more…


We were sitting at the table eating and talking some more…we were definitely getting to know each other a lot better…I was looking at all of his tattoos, when Mark said, “What?” I said, “I’m just admiring you’re body art.” Mark said, “My tats? Why?” I said, “Anyone brave enough to endure that kind of pain is pretty friggen crazy…I always wanted to get a tattoo…but I’m scared to death of needles…I would never be able to sit still long enough, unless I actually passed out…”

Mark said, “Well, you let me know if you ever really want one…I have a friend who does mine, and you never really feel it…you feel two needle sticks, one when the needle goes in, and one when it comes out…that’s it…even when he switches colors, you don’t feel it.” I said, “Wow, he must be really good…” Mark said, “Yea, he’s the only one I let do mine…he’s very clean…well you wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but he keeps all of his stuff clean…” I said, “That’s good.”


We talked a little more, before we walked outside and was walking the ground, and Mark took me out to the stable and showed me the horses…he said, “Don’t worry about feeding them, the same guy who cuts the grass, comes and puts a weeks worth of feed out for them…so just exercise them when you want to…the funny thing about these horses, is they are all named after someone from the company…so the names are easy to remember…” I laughed and said, “Cute…” I got to meet all 6 of the horses…Edge, Kane, Olympia (Olympic hero Kurt Angle), Taker, Trixie (Trish), and King (Jerry “The King” Lawler). By the time Mark finished telling me all their names I was dying laughing…Mark said, “Oh you think that’s funny…next time I buy another one, I’ll name it after you.” I said, “Yea, right.” Mark said, “You watch and see…” I laughed a little more as we were walking around the property…

 

Chapter 8


When we went back to the house, Glenn and Stephanie, still hadn’t left the guest room…we sat in the den watching TV…Mark was sipping on a long neck bottle of beer…and I was drinking water…Mark said, “I fear, I’ll need to buy a new bed for that guest room after tonight.” I laughed and said, “Yea, probably, but leave em alone…it’s fun being in love…” Mark said, “And how many times have you ever been in love?” I said, “With all my moving…not a lot…but twice…it was enough for me to enjoy it fully…and then move on again…it was nice while it lasted…”


Mark said, “Really…well I guess I actually did love my first wife…we just didn’t love each other enough to keep the relationship together…with me always gone, she was lonely, which obviously led to her cheating on me…and when she finally came clean about it…I really wasn’t surprised…and just decided to give it up…I think she moved to Michigan or some place like that.” I said, “I have never really had my heart broken…I mean, obviously I know what pain feels like, because of my mother…but I had to grow up fast, learning the love do’s and don’ts was obviously not an option in the schooling material…”


Mark said, “So, you’re what 21 right?” I said, “Yea…I’ll be 22 in about 8 weeks…and you?” Mark said, “Damn, the dreaded age question…okay, so since I’m about 3 days older then dirt…that makes me about 32…having just turned 32 a couple months ago…” I said, “That’s not so bad…I’m waiting to turn 30…I know I’m going to have some sort of mid-life crisis…” Mark laughed and said, “Actually, I bet you’ll be relatively normal at 30.” I said, “Oh, I don’t know about that…”


The more we talked…the more I was watching him…and looking at him closely…I mean here was this huge 6’10” man, who was 325lbs of beautiful muscle, tattoo covered arms from wrist to shoulder…plus one tat across his mid-drift that said BSK Pride…which I didn’t know what it meant, and wasn’t about to ask…and a tat of the Grim reaper on the back of his neck…He also had the most seductive, yet piercing Emerald green eyes…he had dark hair, it looked brown but I could of worn it had auburn or red highlights…and it was long down to the middle of his back, but he usually kept it pulled back in a braid…and his go-tee and mustache were a total turn on…any kind of facial hair, automatically did it for me.

 

We talked a little more and watched a little more TV…and then we got into a movie that was on TV, and we ended up falling asleep on the couch…I was laying on Mark’s chest, I wasn’t sure how I got there, but it was pretty nice…he had his arm around me…he actually woke up and looked down…and saw me…Mark moved around and picked me up and carried me upstairs and put me in his bed still in my clothes…

Glenn and Mark left the house about 4am, they had to catch up with the wrestling tour…on their way to catch up with the tour Mark was talking about Maxine to Glenn, telling him all he knew about her now…Glenn thought it was cute that Mark had finally taken an interest in someone, especially after the way things were left with his ex-wife.


Glenn called Stephanie later and told her everything Mark was talking about…and Stephanie said, “You know if we were really careful about this, we could actually get those two too hook up…they both need someone…and right now, they seem perfect for each other.” Glenn fully agreed…Thus started Glenn always talking about Maxine to Mark…and Stephanie constantly blabbing to Maxine about Mark…


The more time I spent at Mark’s, the more I never wanted to leave…no one knew where I was except the FBI, and this time the only one who really knew was the detective on my case…no one else…

 

Chapter 9


Mark and Glenn would come back once a week, stay for one night, and would leave the next morning, before we were even awake…it was nice to have someone to talk to other then Steph…we of course wouldn’t see her or Glenn for that day…but it was always nice to see Glenn for that two seconds before they did there sexual disappearing act. Mark and I would sit and make fun of them for hours…just cause it was hilarious…


A month later, one night after dinner, when the guys had just gotten back, it was probably around 6…and the sun was just getting ready to set…Mark said, “I have a great idea…go put some levis on with your steel toes and a hooded sweatshirt on…and meet me in the garage in like 5 minutes…” I said, “Okay.” I went up started and pulled my levis on, my steel toes on, and a black hooded sweat shirt on…I also pulled my hair up into a pony tail…I went back down and Mark was already in the garage when I walked in and noticed Mark had on leather pants, steel toes, and an Undertaker black hooded sweat shirt, with his hair pulled back into a tight braid and a black bandana over his forehead…I stood there and watched him as he uncovered one of his infamous Harley’s, the tank was black with lightening bolts on it…and on the side a bunch of little tombstones painted on it, and it said ‘Undertakers Bitch’.


I said, “Oh nice.” Mark smiled and said, “And you thought this was just part of the wrestling gimmick…” I said, “Good lord, it’s beautiful…almost more beautiful then the property it sleeps on…almost.” Mark looked up at me and shook his head…and said, “It’ll always be more beautiful then anything I own…” Mark got on and started it up…it had a lovely growl to it…Mark pulled out and put the garage door down and said, “So get on…” I smiled and said, “You got it.” I grabbed onto his shoulders and grabbed and got on…he flipped the pedals down for my feet…and I wrapped my arms around his waist…and we took off…


Mark liked how Maxine was holding on so tight to him…he could smell her perfume and was thinking how intoxicating it would be to have her laying on his chest again…he could never get that feeling off himself…he loved how he woke up and she was laying on him…


The faster Mark would go, the tighter I would hold on…it was so great…and his cologne was great…I caught myself smelling him so many times…it was crazy…when the sun had fully gone down and the moon was all the way out, Mark stopped by a field…the moon was full so it lit up the whole field…I got off and was moving around a little and said, “Where are we?” Mark said, “The back of the property…” I said, “All the way out here? Damn.” Mark said, “So you think it’s still beautiful?” I said, “You mean now that I’ve seen the front and back?” Mark nodded, I was standing towards the front of the bike, with my hand on the handle bar, just looking at the acres and acres of land…it was hilly and beautiful…I said, “Nah, I think it’s gorgeous now…” Mark said, “Is that an upgraded opinion?”


I said, “Of course…the only reason it’s so beautifully gorgeous…(Mark laughed at my mixture of the two words)…is because the first 15 years of my life was spent in a two story house, with a wonderful mother, a crazy drunk step father, in a rural neighborhood, with fifteen million neighbors who knew way too much about what happened in every house on every block…then I spent the last 7 years of my life in apartments…not knowing anyone…just going through college and working, sleeping, eating…and trying to escape my past…I absolutely love it out here…I wish I never had to leave…I mean it has really felt like an actual real home…I mean, having some place to put all your shit…” Mark said, “I can’t fully understand no, because I’ve never had to go through something like that, but I get the meaning behind it.”


I said, “I’ve really enjoyed talking with you…you’re a really great listener…even though I don’t get that whole camp counselor vibe from you…” Mark laughed and said, “No, I’m a good listener…hell I can listen to a lot of people talk…it just depends on if I want to hear them.” I said, “Well, that’s true too…” Mark said, “By the way, I heard you say, you wish you never had to leave…you do know you can stay as long as you like, even after they snatch your step dad…”


 Chapter 10


I said, “Wow…are you feeling okay? I mean being nice to me twice in a 6 months span?” Mark smiled and said, “Very funny…you kind of grew on me…besides you’re really doing wonders with those roses that are in front of the house…” I laughed and said, “Yea, well it helps if they actually get water…I mean when it’s not raining season…they are very beautiful…”


Mark said, “I used to hate them, cause my ex planted them…but after a while, I kept thinking it as the only thing nice she left behind…” I said, “Why, was there some bad things she left behind?” Mark said, “Yup…me…I was an absolute asshole for like 3 months straight at work, home, where ever….the poor fans that crossed my path those three months, had to of been terrified of me…” I said, “Hmm, that sounds vaguely familiar…” Mark said, “Yea, yea…gimmie shit, I don’t mind…I know I deserve it…”


I said, “I’m not going to give you shit anymore…you already apologized a couple of times and plus…well the whole letting me hide out at your house…sort of more then makes up for it…don’t sweat it anymore…I just like watching you squirm…” I started laughing and Mark said, “Oh really…” He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to him and started tickling me…and I was leaning against him dying laughing, trying to get away from him…but it was pretty much no use…I said, “Okay…Uncle…UNCLE!!” Mark was laughing at me and said, “No more making me squirm…promise?” I said, “Yes, I promise…” I was trying to get all my giggles out…I pushed my hair out of my face as I looked up at Mark’s eyes…they were gorgeous…

I smiled and Mark smiled back, I started to push off against his body, cause I was still leaning against him…but he pulled me back…I sat side ways on the bike, with my butt between his legs, and my legs draped over his…Mark wrapped his arms around me, and held me against his chest…I made no move what so ever to make him let me go…I felt so safe when I was with him…it was virtually impossible for me to be afraid…We sat there like that for a while…before Mark said, “You ready to go back?” I said, “Sure.”


I got up, and hopped on the back again, and wrapped my arms around Mark’s waist again…on the way back…I had my head laying against his back. His body radiated so much heat…when we pulled into the garage, we got off, and Mark was wiping the bike down, and I let my hair down out of the pony tail…we walked into the back door into the kitchen and came face to face with Stephanie and Glenn, in some lounge clothes…I said, “Wow…so how does it feel to be out of the cave at night?” Stephanie said, “Smart ass…so where have you two been?” I said, “Mark took me for a ride on his Harley…” Glenn looked pretty surprised and looked at me and said, “Oh he did?” Mark walked out of the kitchen bathroom and said, “Yes he did…” And gave Glenn a ‘shut up’ look…because Glenn knew Mark didn’t let anyone near his bikes…or on them…not even when he was married…he didn’t take people for rides…it was just the way he was about his bikes…


I said, “Why did you give him that look?” Mark said, “What look?” Glenn said, “Ha!…finally someone who sees everything…” I said, “You know the look…the shut up before I rip your tongue out look…” Mark said, “I didn’t give him any kind of look that said that…” I said, “Well, there was a look exchanged there…I’ll figure it out mister.” Glenn was laughing s hard…he couldn’t help it…The guy went in to check out the sports channel to find the scores for the day, which Stephanie came with me upstairs to talk to me while I took a shower…

 

Chapter 11


Steph said, “Ya know Max…you and Mark should get together.” I said, “Are you losing your mind?” She laughed and said, “No…it just seems to a lot of people that you and Mark are getting awfully chummy these days…” I said, “He’s a nice guy…not to mention sexy as hell…but why would he ever want to even think about me? I’m only 21…I haven’t even seen half the world like he has…I’ve seen enough to last me until next x-mas…but not nearly as much as I’d like to…” Steph said, “Girl, age is nothing but a number, I realize there’s 10 years between the two of you…but if you like each other and you care for one another…what’s the harm?”

I said, “You’re asking what’s the harm? What if I have to leave again…I can’t take Mark with me…he’s not my bodyguard ya know…and besides once I leave I’m not allowed to contact him ever again…which would really suck…cause we’d be right in the middle of this great relationship…and wouldn’t be able to speak ever again.” Steph said, “What if you guys got married…I mean…would they stop moving you then?” I said, “Married…please Steph let’s not jump the gun here babe…I mean I had the first romantic thing happen between us tonight, and now you’re talking marriage…”

Steph said, “What romantic thing…you didn’t tell me anything?” I was brushing the knots out of my wet hair and said, “We stopped on the side of the road to rest and we were joking around when he grabbed me and started tickling me…by the time he stopped I was leaning against him…I went to push off…and he grabbed a hold of me and pulled me back into his arms…and just held me there…it was so peaceful…and I felt so safe…”


Steph said, “That’s so romantic…and yet super sweet at the same time…” I said, “Let’s not forget one tiny…minor detail…sex…” Steph said, “Been there, done that…waiting for Glenn to recoup so we can do it some more…” I said, “Yea, well, I’ve never done it…I’m still a virgin…I’m the friggen oldest 21 year-old virgin in America…” Steph said, “I’m sure you’re not the oldest…what about Mother Theresa?” I said, “She doesn’t count…she’s dead…and neither does any other nun or habit wearing catholic…they took that vow…I didn’t…I’ve been trying to lose my virginity since I was 20…but I really haven’t found the right guy…” Steph said, “So let Mark help you make it lose it…”


About that time, Glenn and Mark walked in the bed room and Mark said, “Lose what?” We looked at each other and started laughing so hard…I looked at them and they looked pretty confused and I said, “See what you started?” Stephanie said, “I’m sorry…I didn’t realize that if I threw the name out there, he would show up in the wrong part of the conversation.” I said, “I didn’t expect him to show up at all for that conversation…” Mark looked at Glenn, who shrugged his shoulders and then looked back at us and said, “Are you ladies feeling alright?” I just shook my head and laughed a little…Steph said, “Yea, were just dandy…g’night Maxine…” I nodded and said, “G’night Steph…”


Glenn and Steph departed to their room…while Mark grabbed some sleeping clothes and left…he would sleep in the couch when they were in town for that one night…but always managed to leave me a note before he left in the early mornings…His couch was huge, so he never had a problem sleeping on it…


I went and laid in bed for like 30 minutes…and finally fell asleep…around 2 am…I woke up and went down stairs to get some water…I drank a small glass of water…and walked back through the den and saw Mark on the couch…I walked over and sat on my knees in front of him…he was laying on his side and he looked so peaceful…I whispered “Mark……Mark.” Mark moved around for a minute before his eyes shot open and he jumped up and said, “Are you okay?” I put my hand over my mouth to hide my smile and said, “Yea, I’m okay…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you…” Mark laid back down and said, “What’s wrong?”


I said, “I just realized something…” He said, “You mean…other then the fact that you just gave a 325lbs man a heart attack by waking him out of a sound sleep at 2 am…” I giggled a little and said, “Yes, besides that…” Mark said, “What’s that?” I said, “I forgot to say thank you…” He looked at me with one eye brow up and the other down and said, “For what?” I said, “For the ride tonight…I really enjoyed it…I usually have to go jogging for an hour to relieve stress…but you did it in 25 minutes…and I just wanted to say thanks…and I had fun.” Mark said, “No problem…anytime…is it safe for me to go back to sleep? I mean you’re not going to try and sneak attack me an hour from now right?” I stood up, leaned over and kissed Mark’s cheek…and said, “Yea, go back to sleep…but stay on your toes…If I sneak attack you…I guarantee you won’t hear me…besides I wouldn’t warn you before I attack…that’s half the fun of a sneak attack…”


Mark watched me walk away…then realized all I had on was a black lace tank top, and matching shorts…it was a tease outfit…you couldn’t see all the important parts…but it made you want to see them…it was a sleeping set I had found at Victoria Secrets.


In the morning the guys were off and running again…

 

Chapter 12


So the guys were gone again…while they were gone, Me and Steph did a lot of riding…just to have something to do outside of the house…every time the guys were back for the one night, after dinner Mark would take me for a ride on the Harley…I really enjoyed it…One night, I decided to wake Mark up again, because I forgot to thank him again, I always wanted to make it a point to say it, cause I knew he didn’t have to do this…


I really did feel bad about waking him up in a sound sleep…cause I’m sure it took a lot to wake someone that big up…I had on my exercise pants and a t-shirt of Mark’s…he hadn’t noticed I was wearing it…my hair was hanging down…and I walked down stairs…I went in and got some water first…I walked over into the den and was watching him…watching his chest rise and fall, it was almost like a dream…I sat on my knees again and before I could even say anything…Mark said, “So is this going to be a regular thing with you waking me up in the middle of the night?” He scared the crap out of me…I let out a little scream…and he jumped up and said, “What?” I smacked his leg and said, “You scared the crap out of me…you were supposed to be sleeping…”


Mark laughed and said, “Yea…doesn’t feel so hot does it…and besides I couldn’t sleep…well that and the fact that I just got back from the bathroom…” I said, “How’d you know it was me? It would have been some burglar or something.” Mark said, “I could smell you…” I said, “Smell me? What do I stink? I thought I took a shower before bed.” Mark said, “On the contrary…you smell really good…and I could smell the shampoo you use…that strawberry bullshit…” I smiled. Mark moved over onto his side to face me…and looked down…He said, “Is that my t-shirt you have on?” I laughed and said, “I was wondering when you was going to see it…I was in the middle of laundry tonight after my shower…and decided to wash the shirt I was wearing…but forgot you was here, so I couldn’t walk around in just my bra and panties…so I snatched your shirt that I had folded earlier…”

Mark said, “So, now that you got your sneak attack…well almost sneak attack over with…why aren’t you sleeping?” I said, “I couldn’t sleep…I’ve been having nightmares for the last 3 weeks…Now that I think about it…I haven’t gotten much sleep for the last 3 weeks since these stupid nightmares started…they always started about 6 weeks, before the anniversary of my mothers murder…I haven’t figured out why yet…I guess it’s just something my mind has to go through.” Mark said, “I can’t imagine the things you’ve seen…but I’m here if you wanna talk or anything…” I smiled and said, “Oh, like you haven’t done so much already…I’m not going to bore you with my life tragedies…” Mark said, “No, I’m serious…you yourself said I was a good listener…and I like to listen to you talk…so I don’t mind…” I said, “Thanks Mark.” Mark said, “Any time.”


I sat there looking at the floor for a couple of minutes…Mark said, “You look like you want to ask me something…so give it up..” I laughed and said, “No, you’ll think it’s dumb…” Mark said, “No, I won’t…I promise.” I said, “Well…would you mind, if I slept out here with you? That bed of yours is too big and way too empty to sleep in it alone…and Steph usually stays in there with me, when you guys are gone…It just kind of freaks me out…” Mark said, “I don’t mind…and it’s not dumb…” Mark pulled his blanket back and said, “C’mon.”


I smiled and got up and laid in front of Mark on the couch…he covered me up and then proceeded to wrap his arm around me…Oh my goodness…he was so warm…and I immediately fell asleep listening to him breathe…it was so peaceful…


Mark was shook awake a couple of hours later, Glenn was standing over him and said, “Nice…we’re leaving for the airport in an hour…are you alive?” Mark moved around a little and said, “Don’t wake her up…I’ll kill you I swear…” Glenn said, “What’s she doing down here with you?” Mark said, “I’ll explain later, when I’ve had more sleep and fully awake…I’ll be ready in 30 minutes…” Mark carried me upstairs and laid me in his bed and left me to sleep…and they were gone with the wind…like always…

 

Chapter 13


A week later and it was my birthday…Mark and Glenn came back to the ranch and stayed for 3 days…and brought some of the wrestlers with them, to help celebrate my birthday, it was a surprise…I didn’t know they would even be back for my birthday…Mark had Stephanie take me shopping for the morning…so I decided to go comfortably…I had on levis, a white tank top, and white tenny shoes…and when my hair was wet, I put a little gel in it to keep it curly and then pulled the sides up…when my hair was wet it had a million little spiral curls…there was not a strand of hair on my head without a curl.


We left…and while we were gone…unbeknownst to me, Mark and Glenn slipped like 15 wrestlers from the tour in the door, along with themselves…and got ready to surprise me…we did a lot of shopping…and when we came back…Steph said, “So did you have fun?” I said, “Yea…it’s been a long time since I went shopping…and after I get the bill, I know it will be along time until I go again…” We started laughing…

We walked up to the door and Steph pushed me in first and I nearly had a heart attack when every one jumped out and yelled, “SURPRISE!” I jumped back a little and said, “Holy shit!” Of course I dropped every single bag in my hand…Mark and Glenn were standing in the back of everyone…I made my rounds and gave every one a huge and said, thanks to them…I looked at Steph and said, “It wasn’t me…go yell at those two…they had this planned for the last couple of weeks…” I walked over and they both leaned down and I hugged the both and said, “Thanks guys..” They both gave me a kiss on the cheek and wished me a happy birthday…


We all partied and had a great time…after everyone left, we were all helping clean up…When everything was clean again, for obvious reasons Glenn and Stephanie disappeared yet again…Mark and I were sitting on the couch watching TV just relaxing and talking during the commercials…I said, “I can’t believe you guys planned the party without me knowing it…” Mark said, “You know, you don’t have ESP or anything…I love to do anything that has to do with surprising the shit out of someone.” I said, “It worked…I really loved it…” Mark said, “I’m glad…so you’re officially 22 now huh..” I said, “Yea…” We talked a little more…and I went a head and went to bed…


Of course, Mark’s night home wouldn’t be complete without a sneak attack from me…I went down and skipped the water this time…I just had on red cotton shorts and a matching tank top…and left my hair hanging again…I walked into the den and sat on my knees again…and touched Mark’s lips…they were so red and soft…I removed my hand and said, “Mark……Mark.” He moved around a little and said, “Can’t sleep…or don’t want to?” I said, “No, I just forgot to thank you again…” Mark said, “For what?” I said, “The party…I haven’t been able to celebrate my birthday in 7 years…and I have to say it was a great party…I just wish everyone else could of stayed longer…” Mark said, “They would of, but Vince was pretty adamant about them getting back to tap Smackdown…Otherwise they all would have stayed.”


I moved around and said, “If I ask you to do something for me…will you do it and not ask a bunch of questions?” Mark looked at me and said, “Like what?” I said, “See…no questions asked…” Mark said, “Okay, okay…sure I’ll do it and won’t ask questions…I promise.” I said, “Kiss me…” Mark looked at me but never asked or said a word…by now Mark was sitting up and scooted to the edge of the couch…and pulled me to him…and took my face in his huge hands…and slowly brought his lips to mine…and kissed me, as soon as he felt me relax into his arms, Mark deepened the kiss…and I could feel his tongue part my lips gently and slide into my mouth and so softly intertwined it with mine, when the kiss was over…he was pulling away as he ran his teeth off my bottom lip…

 

Chapter 14


I sat there looking at Mark and he said, “You okay?” I sighed heavy and said, “Yea…Thank you…I needed that…” Mark said, “Sure..” I stood up and kissed his cheek…and said, “G’night…and uh…thanks for the really great birthday…I’ll remember it always…” Mark said, “You’re welcome..”


Mark was in total amazement, he couldn’t believe Maxine actually asked him to kiss her…he really enjoyed the feel of her lips pressed against his…and hope she enjoyed it as much as he enjoyed just doing it.


Of course 2 days later the guys went back on the road as usual…


2 months later…Stephanie and I had been staying at Mark’s for 4 months…we really enjoyed it…but I think we were starting to get cabin fever…I was going off and riding the horses by myself a lot…Stephanie, kept herself occupied with a few hundred books…Glenn knew she loved to read, she when ever he’d come off the road he’d have a new book for her…she had a few stacks in the guest room…and had only gone through about 5 so far…


The day before the guys came back for their weekly check up with us…I had gotten a phone call from the detective working on my case informing me that they had indeed caught my step father and the judge had retried the case and doubled the first sentence for not only terrorizing me, sending me death threats, but for also high jacking the prison bus and running from the law for 7 years…so he was definitely going away for a super long time. The detective even said, I could go back to my apartment in Chicago, and resume a normal life if it was possible…


I had a lot to think about…like what I was going to say to everyone…if I was actually going to go back to Chicago and continue my job at the paper…or take up Vince with his offer to work for the WWE…Okay, so I had a shit load to think about.

I was out riding one of the horses again, when the guys came off the road…Steph and Glenn actually stayed in the kitchen with Mark and they talked…Steph said, “Maxine’s been really distant the last couple of days…I don’t know if something happened and she’s not telling me…or maybe something’s going on in her head and she doesn’t want to mess with it.” Mark said, “I wouldn’t worry too much, she’s pretty level headed, especially with everything she’s been through in the last 7 years..” Glenn said, “She’s an awfully sweet girl…too bad we can’t get Casanova here to make his move on her…” Mark said, “Okay…for the last time…she asked me to kiss her…I did…and then she just walked away…we haven’t talked about it since it happened 2 months ago…we talk about everything else…but the kiss…it was amazing…” Stephanie said, “I don’t know…maybe that’s what she’s been so silent about lately…but there’s no telling…”


When I got back to the house and put the horse up, I knew Mark and Glenn would be there…I took my slow ass time just walking to the house from the stables…I sat on the back porch looking at all the acres of beautiful green land…and watching as the very light breeze moved the trees and grass to one side a little…as I was sitting there, I head the back door open and some pretty heavy boots walking along the porch and up behind me…I knew it was Mark…


He was standing directly behind me…I leaned back with my head against his leg…and didn’t say anything…Mark touched my head…and I could feel the heat radiating off his hand…I almost wanted to cry…it had been exactly 7 years to the day that my mother had been killed…and it was weird that everything would come to an end on the same day…I was struggling to keep the tears from coming out of my eyes…The more love I could feel coming from Mark…and the more I thought about my mother…I kept thinking…my mom would love Mark…because he’s so sweet and gentle…

 

Chapter 15


I wanted to tell Mark that somewhere in the middle of the last 4 months I fell in love with him…but my mouth wouldn’t let it come out…I figured he could never feel that way about me…we had become really great friends in the last 4 months…and I didn’t want to do anything stupid to jeopardize it…I knew I could say it to Mark if I was really forced to…but just coming right out with the whole… ‘Hey how was your trip…hey guess what I fell in love with you’ yea right, I don’t see that coming off to well…I…in all honesty really wanted to tell him how I felt…I just couldn’t get the words out…I guess I could always write it down…but of course that always does lack the emotional side…I’ll have to tell him before I leave to go back to Chicago…but when…


Mark squatted down behind me…and I leaned back even further into his chest…we had this way of talking without actually saying a word…I swear half the time he could read my mind…Mark finally sat down, putting one leg on either side of me…and wrapped his arms around me…and I leaned in even more…he was so warm…and so gentle at the same time…We just sat there like that for a couple of hours…hell I could of stayed there all night…but Glenn and Steph came out and let us know dinner was ready…


After they walked back inside…Mark got up and said, “Are you coming?” I said, “In a little while…I wanna watch the sun go down…Thanks Mark…for everything.” Mark said, “Sure…no problem…” He could hear my voice crack…and came back over and squatted down to the side of me…and saw the tears sliding down my cheeks…and said, “What ever it is that’s making you cry…you know you can talk to me anytime…Steph told me you’ve been distant…I figure it’s whatever has you in tears right now…but either way…when you’re ready to talk…I’ll be ready to listen…”


I looked at Mark…his eyes were so hypnotizing…and I touched his cheek and said, “Thanks…I’ll let you know…” I sighed heavy…Mark leaned over and kissed my forehead and went inside…I had myself a long cry…I guess in some ways I grew up way to fast…but in others…I didn’t grow up at all…I missed my mother…and thought about her every minute of my life…and now with my feelings for Mark…I had been thinking about Mark more then my mother…and was feeling a little guilty about it…I mean how dare I let myself fall in love with someone who was so great…and leave my thoughts of my mother on the back burner…


I realize that the pain of watching my mother being murdered was always going to be there…but this thing for Mark was getting stronger…and was also getting harder to ignore, even more so when he could come home for his weekly check ins…I knew after I stopped crying I would have to tell him soon…otherwise he’d think I was just another emotional female…and lose interest all together…


So later that night I was laying in the bathtub full of warm water and bubbles…trying to get all the stress and tension out…when I got out…I had on navy blue cotton sleep shorts and a matching tank top…I dried my hair…I laid in bed staring at the ceiling…wanting to go down stairs and wake up Mark…but yet I wanted him to actually get some sleep…since I had such a horrible habit of waking him up…but then I couldn’t keep still any longer…I started for the door 4 times…before I finally walked down the stairs and into the den…and sat on my knees as usual in front of him…

 

Chapter 16


Instead of waking him up like always…I leaned over and pressed my lips against his…once he woke up and saw that it was me kissing him…he grabbed a hold of me and pulled me under his blanket on to the couch with him…he was laying half on me and half off me…and I could feel his hands roaming all over my body…he slowly ran his hands over my breasts and my nipples became instantly hard…then when he got to the bottom of my shirt, he slid his hands under my shirt, sliding the shirt up as he went and pulled it off…he slowly kissed down my neck…I loved the feeling his go-tee slide across my bare skin…it was pretty erotic…


His mouth met with my nipples and he was just ever so gentle with me…as he finished with my chest, he slid his tongue down my stomach and was sliding my shorts off with my panties…but didn’t touch my anywhere else…he moved my legs apart and was kissing the sides of my thighs…and left a hickey on the inside of my right thigh…really high…he kissed his way back up to me and we continued kissing again…then he stopped and got up…I watched him and he said, “Stand up.” So I did…but I didn’t take the blanket with me…Mark grabbed my clothes off the floor…and wrapped the blanket around me…and picked me up…and carried me up to his room…and closed and locked the door…


I laid on the bed still wrapped in the blanket…Mark got rid of his t-shirt…and then his flannel pants he slept in when he was on the couch…and everything else and was standing there in his total naked glory…wow that boy looks good with or without clothes…ESPECIALLY without…hehehe


He started unwrapping the blanket and as he was kissing up my stomach he said, “Are you sure you wanna do this? Aren’t you supposed to lose your virginity to someone you love?” I said, “How’d you know?” Mark said, “Stephanie…she can’t keep a secret to save her life…she told Glenn…and naturally he told me…” I said, “Oh…interesting…so…uh…how do you know I’m not losing my virginity to someone I love?” Mark looked at me and said, “Are you serious?” I looked down and then looked back up into his eyes…and said, “Yes.” Mark said, “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for you to say that…”


I was kind of shocked and said, “Why’s that?” Mark said, “Because I knew I loved you the first time we meet…” I said, “How so?” Mark said, “You defied everything I said…I told you not to write that story line…you did it anyway…I told you I wouldn’t do it…you said I would…and I had to…you’re the first girl on the stupid wrestling tour who wasn’t scared to death of me…and you stood there and got in my face as much as I got in yours…and as soon as you stood up to me…I fell in love with you…I probably should of said something sooner…but I didn’t want to scare you…” I said, “Thank you for telling me that…I think I love you more…”


I grabbed Mark’s go-tee and pulled his lips up to mine and we started kissing a little more passionately…and intense…very…VERY intense…Mark slid his body between my thighs…and was so careful about sliding himself into me…he didn’t want to hurt me…but knew it was going to hurt…I nearly bit off my bottom lip…trying not to let out a shriek…once Mark broke through my resistance…it didn’t hurt anymore…but it was just before that point that hurt like hell…as Mark was thrusting in and out of me…we were still kissing and holding onto each other…he wasn’t going fast…he was keeping it pretty slow so I could really enjoy my first time…


We actually managed to time it perfectly and climaxed together…I could feel him empty himself inside of my…and it was kind of gross at first and my first thought was Eww! (Really glad I didn’t voice that thought.)…cause I never felt that before…but after a couple of minutes…it was pretty warm…and the whole thing was incredible…


We were laying in his bed…and I was listening to his heart beat…and said, “Mark…” He was half asleep and said, “What?” kind of groggy…and I said, “The detective who was working on my case called yesterday…they caught my step father and he’s going to be in prison now for 60 plus years…he said I can go back to Chicago when ever I want and continue my job there and my normal life now that I have one…” Mark was a little more awake now and looked down at me and said, “Stay with me.”


I said, “I don’t know…why would I want all of this when I could go back to my crappy little apt and pain in the ass job…and go back to dating the jerk offs again…” Mark said, “Well, I could give you two choice as to why…one because I love you…or two because I love you and I just got you and I’m not letting you leave that easily…” I said, “Can I pick more then one?” Mark said, “Sure…” I said, “Okay, then I pick one and two…Mark I could never leave you…I’m way to in love with you…” Mark said, “Good…cause I’m not letting you leave…and besides I love you just as much…” We kissed a little more and fell asleep…


Chapter 17


“Oh my gosh Stephanie!…Are you serious?” I screeched…Steph laughed and said, “Pretty positive…I went to the doctor and everything.” I said, “Good lord…What is Glenn going to say? Pregnant…wow…Awww but it’s a baby…what could he say…” Steph said, “I don’t know…I haven’t told anyone else…so please keep things quiet.” I said, “Hey…you know…Researchers, they know what causes pregnancy now…” Steph laughed and said, “Girl…you’re so asking for it…” We both giggled…


It’s been 3 years…I’m 25 now and Mark is 35…we’re pretty happy…we’ve been extremely happy together…


We got quiet just in time, when Mark and Glenn walked through the door…to Mark’s dressing room, where we were sitting on a couch…facing inward talking…Mark came up behind me and kissed the top of my head…and I said, “What are you up to Mr. Callaway?” Mark smiled and said, “Nothing Mrs. Callaway…” That really did have a nice ring to it…


Oh side note: If I forgot to tell you…we got married 6 months ago…Just thought I’d throw that in there for you…it was actually a double wedding…me and Mark with Steph and Glenn…It was great!! The honeymoon was even better…two weeks…Hawaii…we never left the hotel room…when we go back, we really need to go sight seeing…but of course…I saw all I needed to see in that hotel room for two weeks straight…


Ever since I moved out of my apt. and moved in at Mark’s request…how could you say no to those eyes?!?! We actually went to Nebraska 2 weeks before our wedding and had my stuff in storage sent to the ranch…and visited my mother’s grave…for a couple of days after we left I was kind of distant, but Mark was totally understanding about the whole situation…he knew it was hard for me to be leaving again…but he helped out by knowing exactly when to touch me…it goes back to that whole mind reading thing again…I swear he constantly knows what I’m thinking without me having to tell him…I really love that about him…


I stood up and sat with my knees backwards in the couch to face Mark…and wrapped my arms around his neck…I smiled and Mark said, “What’s on your mind?” I said, “Nothing special….just in deep thought..” Mark said, “Okay…” I kissed his lips and said, “C’mon, you’ve got a match…and Steph needs to talk with Glenn…” Mark wrapped his arm around my waist and lifted me over the back of the couch…and put me on my feet in front of him…We were walking down the hall and Mark was about to walk out for his match when we heard this loud…WOOOOOHOOOOO…


Mark said, “What in the hell?” I said, “Oops…Steph must’ve told Glenn…” Mark looked over the rim of his sunglasses and said, “Told Glenn exactly what?” I said, “That she’s pregnant…” Mark said, “Oh...good reason for the screaming…” I smiled and said, “Yea…I thought so…” Mark leaned down and we kissed several times…before he left to go do his match…Mark was walking away when I said, “Hey Undertaker…” Mark turned around and took his sunglasses off as he stopped and was looking at me…I lifted up my shirt and bra and flashed him…BIG TIME…I then quickly pulled my shirt and bra down…and acted as if I didn’t do anything…” Mark really couldn’t say anything…he was shocked I had done it at all…he just shook his head and walked out for his match and all I could do was giggle and yell, “Give them hell baby.” Mark went out there and beat the crap out of his victim and then came back and I was standing next to Steph and Glenn…and we were deep in conversation…


Mark walked over and said, “By the way…thanks babe.” I smiled mischievously and said, “For what Mark? I didn’t do anything…” Mark shook his finger at me and said, “You know good and well what you did…you know nothing’s worse or more painful then having to try and wrestle with an enormous erection.” I started laughing so hard I had to squat down before I fell down….


Stephanie looked down at me and said, “What happened?” Mark said, “Why don’t you ask the flasher here?” As he pointed down to me. Glenn said, “I would think it would be rather difficult to wrestle with any kind of erection…enormous or otherwise.” Mark said, “You just ain’t a shitten…” I couldn’t stop laughing…Steph said, “Okay chill out for a minute and tell me what happened…” I looked up and said, “I flashed him…I don’t know why I did it…I just called his name before he walked out and I gave him some full frontal chest nudity…” Glenn said, “Did I hear her right? Full frontal chest nudity…is that the same thing as boob flashing?” Mark said, “Hell yes…I was in total shock I couldn’t believe she had done that…anyone could of seen her…” I said, “That’s why I made sure no one was around when I did it…it was for your enjoyment only…”


Mark said, “Oh, I plan on getting some enjoyment out of them tonight…you gave me this thing…now you get to help deal with it…” As he pointed to the crotch of his black Levis…I don’t know why…but to me he always looked sexier in his black Levis…I said, “Well, maybe if you flash me, I’ll be a little more inclined to help you get rid of it…” Mark said, “Now there’s a thought…But I’m not about to do it in front of Steph and Glenn…”


Them being the smart asses they were both said “Thanks!” at the same time….


Mark said, “Smart asses…no wonder you two got married…you couldn’t keep your hands off each other…for a while…I thought you were sewn together…” Steph and Glenn said they were going back to the hotel to spend some quality tie together…and Mark squatted down in front of me…he pushed my hair out of my face and said, “I really enjoyed you flashing me…” I said, “I know…I could see…” Mark smiled and said, “You ready to head back to the hotel?” I said, “Sure…Let’s go.”


We took off for the hotel and needless to say I did end up helping him with that enormous erection…that just happen to be my fault in the first place…I swear…It was pretty nice though…we stayed in bed for the next 72 hours…just cause we had no place to go…it was great!


As it turned out, Steph wasn’t really pregnant, it was a false positive…but it was just as good a reason as any for her and Glenn to start trying to get her pregnant…they couldn’t wait to have a baby…

 

Chapter 18


One night Mark would be going up against Paul Wight (Big Show)…which worried me a lot because of Paul’s known ring presence…he always had a bad attitude whether scripted or not…he always put the other wrestler through hell before he eventually pinned them for the win…tonight was no different…it was a crazy match…Mark wasn’t really nervous, but he didn’t relish the fact he had to wrestle a guy who had a worse attitude then him…I was standing with him backstage…Paul walked past us and said, “Maybe you should give Mark a good-bye kiss cause the only person who will be walking through that curtain in 15 minutes is me.”


I walked over and stood looking up at him and said, “Is that supposed to be funny Paul? Because it’s really not…I see nothing funny about the statement you just made…” Paul’s wife Bess came over and said, “Paul, knock it off, leave them alone.” Mark grabbed my hand and drug me down the hall into an empty dressing room and said, “Maxine, don’t start anything with that man, I have to wrestle him in 3 minutes…I don’t need him to kill me let alone come after you for being a smart mouth…” I said, “I wish you would of let Glenn go down to the ring with you…you know Paul, he’s relentless…he won’t stop until you give up.” Mark said, “Max, no…I’m a big boy I can fight my own matches…” I said, “This isn’t a match it’s an ass beating…and you know it…you’re going to get hurt…” Mark was getting more pissed by the second…and said, “Stay out of it Max…I mean it...” I knew he was serious…he didn’t want me to interfere with his work…but I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach something bad was about to go down. I just knew it…Mark kissed my forehead and said, “I’ll be right back…I have to go take down a giant…” I said, “Be careful…I love you…” Mark stopped by the curtain before he walked out and said, “I love you too baby…”


I didn’t realize that was the last time I would hear that from Mark…at least not for a while…During the match I was watching on the monitor and I could see Paul talking a whole mess of trash to Mark…the match was supposed to be over in 15 minutes, but it ended up last 30 minutes…all the matches were backed up and every one knew that Paul was just basically torturing Mark in only the way Paul could…Glenn said, “What the hell is going on, why doesn’t he pin Mark already, he knows he’s supposed to win…” I said, “He’s doing it on purpose to prove a point that he’s better then anyone else…” Paul’s wife Bess was standing with us and said, “I’m gonna kill Paul. I swear to god.” Bess was getting pissed off cause Paul was being immature, Glenn and Steph were on the brink of running to the ring just to help Mark…the camera got a close up shot of Mark’s face and he’s eyes were all glossed over and his nose was bleeding…At this point, as soon as I saw the blood, I had tears sliding down my cheeks…Finally, Paul choke slammed Mark through two tables and then gave Mark his own finishing move the last ride (power bomb) through two more tables…Mark was totally out as in he was unconscious. Glenn and Steph ran out as Paul was walking back…Paul walked behind the curtain and leaned over to me and said, “See I told you I’d be the only walking through the curtain.” Paul turned and was walking down the hall with Bess bitching at him and I said, “Hey Big Show!” He stopped and looked at me…I gave him the finger and said, “If you can’t see this one…here’s another to go with it…” And basically gave him double the bird…


About that time Glenn and Steph came through the curtain with the EMT’s and had Mark on a stretcher…I rode in the ambulance with Mark and Steph and Glenn followed in the rental car…


All 3 of us were sitting in the waiting room waiting to hear something, a few of the other guys decided to join us also…Trish Stratus and her boyfriend Mark LaMonica (Bub Bub Ray Dudley) & Devon (D-Von Dudley)…


After being there for almost 2 hours the doctor finally came out and said, “Maxine Callaway.” I grabbed Glenn and Steph and we walked over and I said, “I’m Maxine…how’s my husband doctor?” He said, “I’m afraid I don’t know yet…he’s got several bruised ribs, and he’s beaten pretty bad, the problem is he’s still unconscious, and we can’t under stand why…there’s nothing internally wrong with him…he should of woken up an hour ago, but no such luck…he’s got a severe concussion, and honestly I don’t know if he’ll ever regain consciousness. If he’s got any other family, you might want to call them…” Trying to keep my composure I said, “Can I see him?” The doctor said, “Yes, he’s up in the Intensive Care Unit, only one person at a time please…I’ll warn you he’s got a tube down his throat to help him breathe once he regains consciousness we can remove it…he’s also on a heart monitor…he’s in room 1452…” The doctor walked away and I said, “Glenn you want to go see him first?” Glenn said, “No honey, you go…he’s you’re husband…” I nodded and as I was walking up to the room, I was crying cause I didn’t know what I would do if I lost Mark…but then in the back of my mind, I was getting extremely pissed off at Paul for pulling such stupid shit…

 

Chapter 19


Since the wrestling tour was in Sacramento, California for the next 2 weeks doing tapings, autograph sessions, photo sessions…all the wrestlers were staying at the hotel…I would stay with Mark at the hospital during the nights and most of the days…the only time I left his side was to go to the hotel shower and change and then I was back…a week later, Mark still hadn’t regained consciousness, and I was getting ready to go out of my mind…


Glenn and Steph both had a photo shoot to go to at the arena, so Glenn said, “Max, why don’t you come with us…The doctor and nurse said they’d call us if anything changes…” Steph said, “Yea, c’mon Max, you need to get out of here at least for a while…” I said, “Okay…” And we left…


When we got to the arena, I was walking around with Steph, and Glenn was off at his photo shoot…We decided to sit on one of the big trunks in the hallway, while drinking coffee, when Paul walked by and said, “How’s lover boy doing?” And gave the most evil little laugh as he sauntered down the hallway, head held high in a proud moment…Steph said, “Max…what are you thinking? You’re making a face…and you’ve got bad thoughts just swimming around that mind of yours…” I got up off the trunk and ran down the hallway…Steph followed as quick as possible…I ran over and stopped Paul and said, “Let me make something really clear to you Paul Wight…Mark is my husband, not my lover boy, not my sex buddy, and certainly not my boy toy…he’s my husband…and for your information he’s still unconscious you asshole…it’s been a week and nothing…the doctor said if he doesn’t wake up soon, he’ll probably never wake up…now I know that Mark doesn’t mean anything to you, but he sure means a hell of a lot to me…and if you think I’m going to sit around and let you make jokes at his expense then you have another thing coming…” Paul smiled walked around us, and said, “It’s probably too late…he’s probably a vegetable already.” He laughed again…


I looked at Steph and she looked at me…we both had the same idea…we took off running down the hallway at Paul and both jumped at the same time and landed on him, we actually knocked him to the ground, I was sitting on his back, with my forearm against his head pushing his face into the cement floor, cause he was facing the floor…and Steph was sitting on his ass and had a hold of his feet, and he couldn’t move around that much…I said, “Ok…get this…if you ever do what you did to Mark to anyone else…I swear to god you won’t have time in your life to regret it…I maybe two and a half feet shorter then you and 400 lbs lighter then your fat ass, but I can fight…make no excuses about it Mr. Wight, you screwed with the wrong girls husband…don’t think for a minute I wouldn’t give my life up for my husbands…because that’s just how much I love him…how many people do you know would say that about you or anyone else in this god forsaken tour?” Paul said, “I swear if you two don’t get off me, one if not both of you are gonna be very sorry…” I said, “Swear all you want to…Look in my eyes and know I’m serious…don’t take anything I say lightly…because believe me, if it came right down to it…sir…and I use that term very loosely…I would do what ever it takes for my husband.”


Glenn, Mark L. and Devon walked around the corner and saw me and Steph sitting on Paul…they all 3 looked at each other and said, “SHIT!” They ran over and Glenn grabbed Steph and Mark L and Devon grabbed me…Paul turned over and sat up and he said, “You have a lot of guts for someone so small.” I spit in his face and jerked away from Mark L and Devon and just walked down the hall the other way…The guys looked at Paul and he wiped face off and said, “I guess I deserved that.” Steph said, “Not even close enough to what you deserve.”


Steph went after me and she said, “Damn that felt really good.” I said, “No, it felt great!” Glenn caught up with us and said, “Have you two completely lost your minds, do you even realize what you just did to Paul Wight?” I stopped and said, “Glenn, look in my eyes and ask yourself if you really think I gave a rats ass. That man tortured my husband a week ago for 30 minutes…you guys barely spend that much time ever in the ring in one night…let alone in one match…my husband…your best friend is laying in a hospital bed, and I could lose him…” The emotions had finally got to me and I lost it in the middle of the hallway…I sat down on the floor and said, “I could lose him Glenn…and so could you…we’ve only been married 7 months…What am I going to do without him?” Glenn and Steph both held me together while I cried…they helped me stand up and walked me down the hallway to the car, and we left…thus ending the lovely day out at the arena….

About 4 days later, every one was down in the cafeteria, and I was in Mark’s room, and was sitting in a chair, I had my hand on his chest so I could feel it go up and down…I had my head leaning to the side with my eyes closed…I hadn’t gotten any sleep since this whole fiasco happened, and I was trying to stay awake…all of a sudden I felt a hand on top of mine…and I looked over and it was Mark’s hand…I jumped up and he had his eyes open…I couldn’t really say much, I ran out and grabbed the doctor…who shooed me out of the room…

 

Chapter 20


I was sitting in the waiting room and Glenn and Steph walked in and I said, “You guys he’s awake.” Steph let out a heavy sigh of relief…and we sat there hugging, Glenn was bouncing around the room…and picked me and Steph up and swung us around…Glenn started calling everyone from the tour and was telling them the good news…


The doctor came back out and said, “Mrs. Callaway, you’re husband would like to see you right now…he asked that you come alone.” I said, “Okay…” I walked down the hall and into the room…Mark was sitting up and said, “Hey you.” I said, “Hey yourself.” Mark patted the bed, and I walked over and sat next to him and couldn’t help but have tears slide down my cheeks…Mark said, “Baby, I’m okay.” I said, “Yea, but you almost wasn’t…I almost lost you Mark.” Mark pulled me into him and we sat there holding each other real tight and Mark said, “But you didn’t and I’m still here baby…c’mon don’t cry…you know it breaks my heart to see you upset.” I said, “I’m sorry, I can’t help it…all I could think was what will I do without you…you have to promise me you won’t ever do that again…I love you Mark, I don’t know what I would have done if I would of lost you.” Mark said, “I can’t promise it won’t happen again…you know what my life is like…all I can promise is to be more careful. I love you so much Max…I’m never going to leave you again.”


2 months later, Mark was back to work…Monday Night Raw…the guys would be tag teaming again, it was noticed that the fans loved them better as a tag team then singles wrestlers. Mark found out what me and Steph did to Paul Wight and laughed at first and then tried to get all serious to talk with me about it, but couldn’t get the mental picture of me and Steph sitting on Paul in the hallway man-handling him…

When we got to the arena that night there was a card in an envelope in Mark’s locker…he read it and had this confused look on his face…I said, “What?” He said, “This is so weird…it’s a get well card from Paul Wight…” I said, “You’re kidding me right? Why would he send that to you? He’s the reason you had to get well.” Mark said, “Beats me..” I looked at it and said, “I’ll be right back sweetie..” Mark said, “Okay babe…I’m gonna meet you in the back by the curtain, were getting ready for our match right now.” I said, “Okay…” I leaned over and said, “Kiss.” And pushed my lips out…Mark leaned over and kissed me and I said, “Oh, I like…Can I have another?” Mark said, “You can have as many of those as you want those are free…” He leaned over and kissed me again, but this time grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him…obviously the kiss was a little deeper and a lot more passionate…


Glenn got really close to us and said, “Oh wow, Mark, what does that taste like?” We started laughing and Mark said, “Pretty good…” I moved Mark’s hair behind his ears and said, “How much did that one cost me, cause that was pretty good and I don’t want to run out of money before the nights up.” Mark said, “I’ll put it on your tab.” I said, “Okay…I’ll be right back.” Mark winked at me and smacked my ass as I walked out.

 

Chapter 21


I walked down to Paul Wight’s dressing room and knocked on the door, Paul said, “Come.” I walked in and he looked at me and said, “What you back to finish the job? You know I had to visit a Massage Therapist after yours and Steph’s sneak attack on me…” I said, “And what…you don’t think you deserved it?” Paul said, “No, I know I did…I just never realized how mean two small girls could be to a guy my size.” I said, “One question.” He said, “What’s that?” I held up the card and said, “Why?” Paul dropped his head and said, “I didn’t realize how much of an asshole I was being until you pointed it out to me that day, plus Bess pointed it out to me later when I told her you two jumped me…of course after she stopped hysterically laughing at me getting my ass kicked by two women she also said I deserved it..” I smirked and said, “Smart woman…” Paul said, “Also, it didn’t sink in fully…everything you said to me…you asked me how many other people do I know that would lay down their life for their husbands…I know one other, that is other then you…Bess would…Just like I’m sure Mark would for you and I know I would for Bess…anyway…nothing set in until I was going down the hall and I saw you crying…I didn’t know you guys had gotten married…let alone only being married for only 7 months…when I heard you crying…my heart broke and I couldn’t imagine what Bess would do if the roles had been reversed and it was Bess …and not you…” I said, “You know something Paul…you can be awful sweet when you want to.” Paul said, “Yea, well don’t let it get out, I have a reputation to keep up.” I walked over and pulled Paul down and kissed his cheek and said, “Don’t ever make me hurt you again…” I winked at him and we laughed…


I left and walked down to where the curtain was and Glenn, Mark and Steph were standing there…Mark said, “And just where were you?” I said, “Taking care of some business.” Mark said, “We’re getting ready to go out, stay out of trouble.” I said, “You’re kidding right…don’t you know who my husband is…The Undertaker…the biggest trouble maker in the WWE.” Mark said, “Hey, yea I think I heard of him…he’s this sexy hot looking guy, who’s married to the most beautiful woman in the world…” I said, “That’s him…” I smiled as I heard Mark’s music blast through the speakers and the fans went completely insane…I said, “Have a good match, be careful…” He said, “I will…” Mark pulled me close to him again and gave me another toe curling kiss and I said, “How much do I owe now? I don’t want my tab up too high…” Mark smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you can always use your Mark Callaway Credit Card.” I said, “Good, I’ll be charging a lot of frequent flyer miles on that bad boy tonight.” Mark kissed me one last time and said, “I love you Max.” I said, “I love you too, Deadman.”


The boys went out and wrestled like they’ve never wrestled before…and won the tag team title belts from The Dudley’s that night…all was as it should be…

 

The End.
