Leather & Lace
Chapter

- -3 A.M.- -
Whoa…I never realized how old that job gets until I
get off work at 3 am like every morning…working the same endless, going nowhere
job for the last 5 years…getting over paid to keep a bunch of creepy men
happy…at least most of my regular weren’t that creepy…I get flowers and money
on a regular basis from them, practically nightly…
I wonder what would happen if their wives ever found
out they blow their paychecks just to keep me in my apartment and school???
I just walked into the diner down the street and
Helen and Albert are arguing again like normal…They are a 50 something couple,
who opened the diner 20 some odd years ago…and have been married for nearly 40
years…they were married straight out of high school…
I come to the diner every morning after work, I
study and do my homework, get ready for school…sometimes I’ll even fall asleep
with my head on the table…but they never say anything…they just let me sleep
until 7…and then wake me up so I’m not late for school…I’ve been coming here
every morning after work for the last 3 years.
My name is Karen Mitchell, I’m 22 years old…I’m 5’9”
and 125lbs. I have gray eyes and
brownish-blonde hair to 3 inches past my waist…I’ve been attending the University of New
York…I’m studying to be an Computer Engineer.
I live on my own in New York City…I live 15 blocks from work…and 20
blocks from the college campus…So I drive an Indigo Blue Toyota RAV4…everywhere
I need to go.
I left home when I was 15…My parents were constantly
fighting…and they didn’t realize they were pretty much making me crazy…I could
of sworn I felt myself going insane…Hearing nothing but them fight every day,
practically 24 hours a day…nothing but fighting and arguing…granted it was just
all verbal…but half the time I got caught between them, they try to make me
choose sides…
My parents married way too young…Mom was 18 and Dad
was 20…Mom was pregnant with me 3 seconds later…ever since I was 10…I only saw
them fighting…I didn’t have parents…I had drill sergeants…Cause it seems like
all they ever did was yell at each other…It was a miracle that I made it
through school without their help…it’s probably a good think I’m just naturally
smart…I think insanity hit their generation…How could they ever believe they
were sane enough to keep a marriage together as long as they had…
You know…if my parents ever grew up…they could have
a really great marriage…
I work at Leather & Lace a ½ Strip/ ½ Dance Bar 1
block from the diner…Now when I say strip…means all you see is…almost
everything…but still have enough left over to tease the imagination. So you see naked boobs, half naked asses
(usually belonging to the customers who’ve had WAY too much to drink…and have
brought it upon themselves to replace the dancing girls, with their wrinkled
old butts.) They usually keep thongs,
shorts or panties on…obviously the shorts are short enough where the ass hangs
out…and just enough to turn the guys on…and make them come back the next night…
When I’m not being a ½ naked hoochies,
I’m behind the bar, playing bartender…so whatever tips I get from dancing and shakin’ my money maker…and the tips from bartending…I get
to keep. As for Lou (Manager of Leather
& Lace) and Animal (Rotund Bouncer who keeps the guys in check and also
keeps their hands off of me and the other dancers )…They usually sit at the end
of the bar, drinking, shooting the shit (talking)…and sometimes quizzing me for
my tests and what not….
**Same Warning**
I was about 6 pages into my chapter when a bunch of
huge muscled men walked into the diner and sat at a big table 4 booths back
from me. Helen brought me over another
cup of coffee and said, “What do you have today honey?” I said, “Trigonometry…This course is going to
be the death of me yet…I swear if Professor Trion…doesn’t kill me with Computer
programming…then Professor Albee will get me with Trig.”
Helen laughed as she walked away…
I decided I needed a break…I walked over and popped
a quarter into the juke box…and pushed F15…My favorite dance, let yourself
loose, burn some energy song…Anastacia (I’m Outta
Love)…
I walked over and grabbed Albert and got him dancing
with me…Helen was laughing cause Albert was trying to keep up with me…and
Albert was just laughing cause he was having such a
good time.

Chapter 3
**Same Warning**
Glenn Jacobs had been wrestling
for the WWE now for the last 5 years…his character Kane was slowly but surely
making it’s way to the top of the pile…his best friend Mark Callaway who played
his on screen brother The Undertaker had been in the business for nearly 12
years strong…Mark always gave him peep talks, encouragement, advice when he
needed it the most…and also said if he kept busting his ass…he’d eventually
surpass the Undertaker character…
They had been best friends now
for 5 years, each been there for the other one through cheating wives and
divorces…Glenn was grateful for his friends in the WWE…but not as much as he
was grateful for Mark…who had essentially become more of a brother then a
friend.
Glenn looked across the diner and
had seen the young girl studying… ‘god she couldn’t be
any older then 19’ he thought… ‘what is she doing in a
diner at nearly 4 am…where the hell are her parents?’
A hand passed in front of his
face and a voice said, “Hey Glenn…Ya big red retard…wake up…” Glenn looked at Mark and gave him the
finger…Mark laughed a little and said, “Where the hell were you?” Glenn said, “I was looking at that girl over
there…how old do you think she is?” Mark
followed to where Glenn’s finger was pointing and looked at the girl, dancing
with the old guy and said, “I dunno…19 Maybe 20…she’s kind of skinny…she could
be older…”
Glenn said, “Why is someone as
young as her in this diner at almost 4 am?”
Mark said, “Well…when we walked in she was studying…but all of our loud
asses…probably disturbed her...” Glenn
said, “Where in the world are her parents?”
Mark said, “Tahiti? I dunno
man…I’m not her keeper…Don’t go getting any funny ideas…” Glenn said, “No…I wasn’t…I was just curious I
guess…”
Their food arrived and the boys
started eating…the young girl had sat back down and had actually fallen asleep
with her head on the table…Before Glenn knew it…they had all finished
eating…and the lady who’d taken their order walked over to the young girl and
said, “Karen…Karen honey wake up…classes started in 45 minutes…you want some
coffee to go?” He watch the young girl
jump up and started combing her hair and trying to get woke up and said,
“Yes…please Helen…”
Glenn watched as she ran past
there table into the ladies room…and then ran back out…shoved a laptop, and 3
thick books into a backpack and slung it over her shoulder…put her sunglasses
on, grabbed her car keys…Leaned over the counter and gave the guy and the lady
both kisses on the cheek and holding up the coffee cup said, “Helen, Albe…you’re lifesavers…see you at 3 am tomorrow…” They both said bye and Glenn watched as the
petite brunette walked out of the diner and got in the blue RAV4…and took off…
Glenn walked over to the older
couple and said, “Where can I find her later?”
Helen looked at the giant man who was asking about Karen and said, “May
I ask what you want with her?” Glenn
said, “Yea…I think my friend may have dinged her vehicle when we were parking
and I wanna make sure her vehicle is okay.”
Helen crooked her finger at the giant until he bent over to hear was she
was whispering…Helen whispered, “I know you didn’t hit her vehicle…but I’ll
warn you right now…please don’t hurt her…she’s like a daughter to us…” Glenn said, “I would never think of hurting
her…”
Helen grabbed a napkin and wrote
something on it…and handed it to Glenn…he looked at it…It said:
The Leather & Lace Club
Mon, Wed, Thur, & Sun.
6 pm – 3 am.
Helen said, “That’s where you can
find her…Any other time she’s at home or school.” Glenn said, “Thank you…very much.” Helen nodded to him…she’d always seen Karen
studying and keeping up her study’s and grades…but dating was never a subject
to her, but Helen had always secretly wanted Karen to fall in love…and
hopefully this huge giant would be the one to help in that subject.
Chapter 4…coming soon.
Chapter 4
**Mild Language**
Glenn and Mark found The Leather
& Lace Club without any problems…They walked in and the club was fairly
big…The first thing that came into view for the guys was the half naked girls
on every stage, dancing, wiggling and shaking everything they could to please
the gentlemen all seated in front of their stages…
Mark said, “Are you totally sure
this is where that young thing we saw last night is going to be?” Glenn said, “That’s what that lady wrote on
the napkin…” Mark said, “She could have
been pullin’ our dicks man…I don’t think that girl is
old enough to work here…” Glenn suddenly
stopped and Mark ran into Glenn’s back…and said, “What the…”
Mark saw what Glenn was staring
at…it was the young lady they’d seen the night before…Mark said,
“Is it my imagination or is that little girl we saw last night dancing on that
stage over there with nothing but a pair of shorts and a smile on?”
Glenn couldn’t even speak…his
voice box wouldn’t work…he just nodded yes…Mark said, “I thought so…Wow…she’s
not shy at all…” Glenn still unable to
speak just shook his head no. Mark
walked around and propped his elbow on Glenn’s shoulder and said, “So what do
you think we outta do?” Glenn said,
“Call Vince and have him come down here immediately…She’s got a flawless body
and legs that don’t dare to quit…she could be a fuckin’ diva.”
Mark said, “I don’t know about
this…Vince would have a cow if he even knew we were in a place like this…” Glenn said, “Mark…Stop being a pussy…you’re
supposed to be the friggen bad ass man…”
Mark said, “Okay…fine…You dig your own grave…I have one of my own
already.”
Mark pulled his cell phone out as
the two watched the girl finish up and then give all the guys hugs, as they
tucked money into her shorts, and handed her flowers…
Vince answered, “Is someone dead
Mark?” Mark laughed and said, “No
sir…but we found something you might be pretty interested in having in your
company.” Vince said, “Oh really…how
much interest?” Mark said, “Well…I’d say
close to 95%…she’s gorgeous, long legs, and she’s intelligent.” Vince said, “A girl?”
Mark said, “Yea…Glenn and I
spotted her last night…and we asked around about her…she works at a place
called The Leather & Lace Club…she’s also attending The University of New
York…she’s studying to be a Computer Engineer…from what information we’ve
gathered about her…she has nothing but impeccable grades…her intelligent puts
Steph and Shane to shame.”
Vince sounding surprised said,
“Oh really? And where did you say this
club was?” Mark proceeded to tall Vince
the directions and then hung up…Mark said, “Well…you’ve got it…Vince is on his
way down here…You do realize Vince is going to kill both of us for picking up a
stripper?” Glenn said, “Once he sees
her…he’s gonna be thanking us…Hell we should get some huge ass bonus for
finding her.” Mark said, “Sure…I’ll
stand by and watch you try to collect for that one.”
They watched as the petite
brunette emerged from the side stage door clad in jeans, a black tank top and
black steel toed boots…and had pulled her long hair up into a pony tail. She walked over and took her place behind the
bar and started helping with the drink orders.
I was sitting on a stool behind
the bar, while Animal was quizzing me on my computer knowledge…I felt like
someone was looming over me…and when I looked up, two huge guys were standing
in front of the bar…I pulled the pencil out from behind my ear and tossed it at
Animal and said, “Animal…mark that spot or you’ll lose it…I wanna make sure I’m
prepared for my quiz tomorrow.”
Animal chuckled and said, “Yes
ma’am…You know me so well Nerak…” I
laughed at Animals pet name for me…it was just my name spelled backwards…I
said, “Yea well working with a person for 5 years will do that to ya.”
I walked over and said, “Can I
get you boys a drink?” As I smiled…
Chapter 5
**Same Warning**
They were gigantic…probably both
nearing 7 feet tall…and both probably between 300 – 325 lbs…both had long hair
pulled back in low pony tails…one had fiery red hair with Emerald green
haunting eyes that could stare a hole through someone and also had tons of
tattoos all over his arms…and the others hair was dark brown with curly
ringlets all over, and Deep sea blue orbs that seemed to stare into my soul…no
tattoos…at least none that were visible from where I was standing.
The tattooed one ordered a Jack
& Coke and the non-tattooed one ordered a beer…I set the beer on the
counter, and poured the Jack Daniels in a glass and set it down and handed him
a can of coke…and said, “Here…you get to make it as strong or light as you’d
like.” He nodded at me…and said, “Can I
get you guys anything else?” The one with
the curly hair said, “Yea…Are you even old enough to be working here?” I said, “I hope so…I’ve been here for 5
years…you guys must be new…I’ve never seen neither of you here before.” They both nodded…
The one said, “My Names Mark
Callaway…this is Glenn Jacobs…” I smiled
and shook their hands and said, “Karen Mitchell…” Animal walked down and said, “Nerak these
boys bothering you?” I patted animals
shoulder and said, “Easy boy…the were just introducing
themselves.” Animal sized the two men up
and down and said, “Make sure that’s all they do…you know Lou doesn’t like you
girls getting friendly with the customers…”
I said, “Animal…Do you see Lou around here anywhere?”
Animal looked and shook his head
no…I said, “Well, then chill out…besides…these guys don’t look like they are in
the right place anyways…” I looked at
the guys and they both nodded…Animal went back over
and sat at the end of the bar…I said, “I have to apologize for Animal…he’s gets
super protective over me and the other girls when the managers not around…So if
you guys don’t belong here…what are you doing here?”
The guys named Mark pointed to
the man named Glenn…
Glenn said, “Actually, we were
just looking for you.” I said,
“Why? I’ve never seen either of you
before…neither of you are a regular of mine, I don’t do personal or private
parties…and I don’t have sex for money…”
Glenn said, “Actually you have seen us before…We were at the diner last
night…we were the loud guy of guys who disturbed your studying…” I said, “Oh…the big guys…now I remember
you…but you didn’t disturb me…I needed a break…So why were you looking for
me…and how did you find me…wait…lemme guess…Helen…she game you the name of this
place.” Glenn said, “I guess that’s her
name…all she gave me was this.” He
handed me a napkin and I laughed and said, “Yup, that’s Helen’s
handwriting…she’s such a little stinker.”
Glenn said, “Listen…we work for a
big company…our boss is on his way down here right now…he’s been looking for
someone with your look…” I smirked and
said, “Yea…what’s my look?” Mark said,
“Beautiful, gorgeous body, flawless beauty…”
I said, “Nothing for Nothing…but that ain’t me…I might look the picture
of perfection…but I have a mouth like a sailor when provoked…and I usually run
on pure caffeine…Coffee, Pepsi, Tea…”
The 2 giants laughed.
Mark said, “Can I ask a personal
question?” I said, “Sure.” Mark said, “Aren’t you kind of skinny?” I laughed and said, “Well…I have a high
metabolism…I’m constantly on the run and on the go…want a break down of one day
in my life?” Glenn said, “Sure.” I said, “Mon, Wed, Thur,
& Sun. I work from 6pm to 3 am…I go to school every day except Saturdays
and Sundays, from 3 am to7 am I’m at the diner studying, doing home work or
sleeping on the table…School is from 8 am to 12 pm…On the days I work from
12:30 to 4:30 I sleep…then I work out for 30 minutes, shower and back to work
and start the process all over again.”
Mark said, “You need to eat
more…” I said, “Eat more? I could eat
the both o you under the table and I wouldn’t gain a pound…I out eat Animal
have the time…I think I have a animal of a tapeworm in me, eating everything I
send down…it comes alive mostly after work and after school…” They both laughed again when a man who was
probably about 6 inches shorter then both men walked up and said, “Okay…I’m
here…Let’s get down to business.”
Chapter 6
**Same Warning**
Mark said, “Vince McMahon…Karen
Mitchell…Karen…Vince McMahon…” I shook
his hand and almost went into complete shock…I said, “Vince McMahon…WWE…that
Vince McMahon?” Vince smiled and said,
“Yes little lady…that’s me.” I said,
“Wow…it’s an honor to meet you…how’s Stephanie and Shane?” Vince said, “You know my son and
daughter?”
I smiled and said, “Yea
slightly…Stephanie did her computer business courses with me at the University
before she went to Boston…and I actually dated Shane for about a year and a
half…” Vince said, “I never met
you…” I said, “Nope…every time we’d set
up dinner or something…WWE business would break the plans.” Vince said, “You was
the Karen he dated that he wanted us to meet so badly…he told us you was
working as a stripper to pay your way through college.”
I said, “I can’t believe he told
you that…I told him not to tell you that…I didn’t want you think I was some
kind of bad person.” Vince said, “No of
course not…he sat us down and explained it…I’m just sorry we never had a chance
to meet before now.” I smiled and said,
“Yea me too.”
Vince said, “So…you’ve met two of
my biggest superstars…they found you…and said you should be given a job
immediately…Would you like to be a valet for the company…and as soon as you
graduate college…I’ll move you into our Engineering department.”
I said, “You’re serious…I can
quit my job here and go on the road…and do my college classes online?” Vince said, “Absolutely…If you’re as
intelligent as these 2 seem to thing you are…then you’ll be running the Head
Computer Engineer…in no time…What do you say?”
I smiled and said, “Oh my GOD!…Yes.” I threw my
arms around his neck and said, “Thank you so much..”
Vince gave me a hug and when I
pulled away he saw the tears sliding down my cheeks…Vince said, “Oh
goodness…why are you crying honey?” I
said, “No one has ever given me just out of the blue…for no reason…I’ve had to
work my ass off for everything…even my acceptance into the University…I even
had to prove to the owner I could strip without it bothering me…”
Vince said, “You don’t have to
prove yourself…Mark and Glenn said you was beautiful…and they were right…the
male fans need some eye candy…and since you’re not shy…you can be their eye
candy until you graduate…” I said, “I
won’t let you down Mr. McMahon…I promise.”
Vince said, “Just call me Vince…we aren’t very formal at work…and I
don’t you won’t let me down…so you don’t even have to promise…I have complete
faith in you…Call my assistant in the morning…she’ll have the contract dawn
up…and she’ll tell you where to meet me to sign it…Just so you know…when we
leave here in a week…I’ll want you to come with us…”
I said, “Yes sir.”
A week later, when the WWE pulled
out of town…I was with them, every step…
**Wrestlers Real Names Used & Mild Language**
The first couple of months went really well…I was
actually assigned to walk Glenn out…It’s weird to see him as himself and then
see him as Kane when he’s in the ring…One night before Monday Night Raw…I was
sitting in the Diva’s dressing room getting dressed…Every outfit they had for
me was red and black to go with Glenn’s Kane costume…
Tonight it was Red plastic pants with black Flames
up the sides of the legs, and Red plastic steel toed boots, plus a Red plastic
tank top with black flames all over it…My hair was a complete curly mess…I
walked out of the Divas costume room and said, “Heidi…this outfit is
dangerous…I’m really glad I haven’t gained any weight.” Heidi laughed and said, “Why honey?” I said, “Cause I’m not getting anything extra
in these pants tonight…” We both
laughed…
There was a knock at the door…Heidi walked over and opened
it…and it was a delivery guy, she signed and took the long white box…she said,
“Karen…this package just came for you.”
I said, “Me? No one knows I’m
here.” Heidi said, “Someone does
obviously.” I walked over and we sat the
box down on the table…and I lifted the lid and gasped in shock…I said, “Oh my
god…” There was
a dozen long stem Purple colored roses in the box with white tissue paper
around them and a card…that said:
Glad you came to the WWE…
~Your Secret Admirer
Heidi said, “Whoa…Karen…A secret Admirer. How Romantic.”
A deep southern voice from behind us said, “What’s
romantic?” We turned and saw Mark
standing in the doorway…Heidi smiled and said, “Karen has a secret admirer look
at the flowers they are gorgeous.” Mark
walked over and looked in the box and said, “Nope…You’re gorgeous…they are
pretty…” Heidi patted Mark’s stomach and
said, “Charmer…How’s come you don’t do romantic things for me?” Mark said, “What…I chase you around the hotel
naked…” Heidi laughed and said,
“Romantic…not horny…”
I couldn’t help but laugh…Mark said, “Look you have
the new girl laughing at us now…” Mark
picked up Heidi’s left hand and looked at the engagement ring he’d given to her
a few weeks back and said, “Yea…it’s still worth it…” Heidi laughed and said, “You bet your ass it
is.” Mark looked down at her and said,
“You getting Sassy with me woman?” Heidi
squinted and said, “And if I am?” Mark
put his hands up in defense…and looked at me and said, “She’s short but
feisty…”
I said, “You don’t have to tell me…You’ve seen the
costumes she makes for me…she told me to get my fat ass in the dressing room
and change earlier.” Mark said, “You
don’t have a fat ass…” I said, “Hey…I
ain’t arguing with anyone who has a needle and scissors in their hand.” Mark smirked and said, “Well thought
out.” I said, “Yea.”
Glenn poked his head in the dressing room and said,
“Hey Karen you ready to go…go…WHOA…Where did you get
that outfit?” Heidi peeked around Mark
and said, “Where do you think dumby?”
Glenn said, “Whoa…I was speaking figuratively…” I put my arm around Heidi’s shoulders and
said, “Chill Girl…good lord…Mark please, sleep with her…she needs to get
laid.” Heidi jaw nearly dropped on the
ground, as Glenn grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the dressing room fast,
and helping me barely miss Heidi’s foot kicking me in the ass.
Heidi yelled down the hallway… “Don’t be Vulgar
Karen Marie…” I was laughing so hard
with Glenn…while making our way down to the titan tron curtain…Glenn said, “So
who got the flowers?” I said, “Me…that’s
so wild…I never got flowers before.”
Glenn said, “Why not?” I said, “I
dunno…just never did…Those were actually from a secret admirer…And they are my
favorite color purple…I love purple roses…I used to photograph them cause they are so beautiful.” Glenn said, “Well, I’m glad something made
you smile…you haven’t smiled in a week or so…”
I said, “Put your mask on silly. You look like a raccoon with that make-up
on.” Glenn said, “Gee thanks.” I smiled and said, “No problem.”
**Same Warning**
Glenn’s Kane music hit and we walked out onto the
platform…
“Oh my God…PUPPIES JR PUPPIES!!!!….” King practically screamed into the headset
mic. JR looked at King and said, “I wouldn’t
say that any louder then you have too…you’re forgetting Nerak is Kane’s
girlfriend…” King said, “I don’t
care…look at her…she’s so hot..”
JR said, “Well…folks…we have a nice match coming
up…it’s going to be the monster Kane against his own brother Undertaker.” King said, “Man, and Undertaker is in some
mood tonight…Kane came out here earlier demanding a match with his brother
cause he kept trying to go after Nerak…”
JR said, “Yea…but No one knows why he’s going after
her…Whether he’s attracted to her or he wants to hurt her or whatever…Kane
doesn’t like it when his older brother The Undertaker stalks after his woman
like lunch.”
Then the Undertakers music hit and Mark rode his
Harley out…while Nerak and Kane were in the ring…as Taker entered the ring,
Kane pulled Nerak behind him in protection mode…
Kane grabbed a mic and got nose to nose with his big
brother…and in his deepest Kane voice said, “I don’t know what you’re doing…or
what you think you’re doing…but you had better leave Nerak alone…This is you’re
only warning…if you go anywhere near her again…me and you will have problems
big brother.”
Undertaker swiped the mic from Kane and said, “I
don’t know who the hell you think you’re little threat is going to scare…but
boy…if you don’t take your head out of your ass…that little girl is gonna get
you hurt…she’s no good for you…she’s sneaky…and she’s a damn trouble maker…you
keep messing with her…she’s only going to prove to me that she’s full of
shit…she doesn’t really want to be with you.”
Kane looked at Nerak with a questioning gaze and
Nerak just shook her head no and touched his arm…Kane could feel the heat
rising in his arm from just one touch of her hand.
Kane looked back to Undertaker and said, “Brother
you’re wrong…Nerak would never hurt me…not the way you did.” Undertaker started to make a grab for Nerak,
when Kane stood in the way and said, “No…Nerak get out of the ring…” Nerak squeezed Kane’s hand and then walked
over and got out of the ring and stood in Kane’s corner cheering for him, as
the match began. Undertaker and Kane went at it for a good 15 minutes, before
Kane threw Undertaker out of the ring…and Undertaker started stalking after
Nerak again…Undertaker was counted out and Kane was the winner…
Undertaker grabbed her by the throat and pulled her
close to his face and said, “You better watch yourself…I know you’re only going
to hurt Kane…when you do…I’ll be there to hurt you.”
Nerak looked deep into the cold careless green orbs
of the Undertaker and boldly stated, “You’re wrong…I would never hurt
him.”
Undertaker didn’t know what to say after that…but
Nerak gave Taker a low blow and he let go of her…and Kane grabbed her hand as
they walked up the ramp and back to the back.
**Same Warning**
As we walked behind the curtain a stage hand threw
Glenn a towel as he pulled his mask off and was whipping off the make-up and
sweat…
Glenn said, “Well, that went really good.” I smiled and said, “You think so?” Glenn said, “Absolutely…You’ve been doing
really good.” I
smiled and said, “Thanks.” Glenn said,
“You’re welcome…you wanna go have dinner?”
I said, “Actually I can’t…I need to get back to the hotel and started my
school work…I have to have it all e-mailed in by tomorrow morning…and I still
have to read 3 chapters and write a paragraph on it…”
Glenn said, “Okay.”
A little on the dismissed side…I said, “I have a great idea though…how
about you come to me room and we can order room service and while we’re not
eating I can read…and then we can talk while we eat…but you have to promise to
leave so I can finish my work..” Glenn
smiled (Ooo I’d walk a mile for one of his smiles…Cheesy I know.) And he said, “Sure…Sounds like a good idea…I’ll
go shower and meet you in the parking garage.”
I said, “Okay.”
I went and showered and changed into jeans, and a
t-shirt and tenny shoes and pulled my hair up with a
clip.
I was sitting out back on one of the equipment
trunks when Mark and Heidi walked out the back door hand in hand…Mark looked
over and said, “Karen you need a ride?”
I said, “No sir…but thank you…I’m waiting for Glenn…We’re going to have
some dinner while I finish my homework.”
Mark said, “Okay…good match tonight.”
I said, “Thanks…I hope you’re recovering well from the um…low blow..” Mark said, “Don’t
worry about it honey…you stopped when you was supposed to…you didn’t even get
close…” I said, “Okay…I wasn’t sure…cause you kind of growled at me…so I wasn’t fully sure if I
stopped in time.”
Heidi said, “Mark growls at everyone…don’t worry
about it chickie…Besides…Any damage the boys
sustained…I’ll take care of the recovery.”
I couldn’t help but laugh…Mark swatted Heidi on the ass and said, “Sassy
little thing isn’t she?” I said,
“Yea…but you know something Mark…she evens you out perfectly.” Mark started laughing hard from the back of
his throat and said, “I guess I never thought of it that way.” As they walked away.
About that time Glenn came out and said,
“Ready?” I smiled and said, “Yup.” We went back to the hotel and Glenn followed
me to my room. Glenn ordered the food
while I started reading…and I actually got all 3 chapters read by the time the
food got there…So we sat down and ate and talked…I had also put my flowers in
some water…We had also done some talking while I was working on my paper on my
laptop…
Glenn got really quiet and I looked over and he had
curled up on the couch and fallen asleep…I smiled and walked into the other
room and grabbed a blanket off the bed and covered him up with it…I leaned down
and kissed his head and ran my fingers through his hair…and then went back over
and continued typing away…
In the morning around 7 am…I had just finished
e-mailing all my home work in…and went in and took a shower…when I came back
out dressed, Glenn was slowly waking up…I said, “Morning sleepy head.” Glenn said, “Oh my god…when did I fall
asleep?” I said, “Not to
shortly after we finished eating and I started typing my paper…” He said, “Why didn’t you just kick my ass out
to my own room.” I said, “Well…you
looked so cute and peaceful laying there sleeping, I didn’t have the heart to
wake you up and throw you out…Besides you didn’t disturb me…I worked completely
through the night and got all me stuff sent off this morning.”
Glenn said, “You didn’t sleep at all?” I smiled and said, “Nope…I’m sickeningly
cheerful for someone who hasn’t slept in 24 hours huh?” Glenn said, “Absolutely.” I said, “Well you better get a move on ya…we
have a flight at 9 and it’s almost 8 now…Mark already called here looking for
you and finding out if I was ready to go.”
Glenn jumped up and said, “Thanks for last night it was fun…I’ll see you
down in the lobby.” I laughed and said,
“Okay.” Glenn took off while I finished
packing up the rest of my belongings…including my flowers…I couldn’t throw them
away…they were too beautiful…and the made my suitcase smell
good…
An hour later we were all boarded on the plane to
the next town.
** Wrestlers Real Names Used & Mild Language**
2 weeks later, I was sitting in Mark’s dressing room
with Heidi who was measuring me for another costume the company was having her
make for me…I was only in my lace short panties and matching bra…Mark and Glenn
walked in and froze in place…I put my hands on my hips and said, “Do you mind…I
don’t feel like giving all of WWE a free show.”
They just stood there staring at me…I sighed and shook my head at
them…and walked over and closed the door…but I didn’t miss the few whistles and
cat calls from some of the guys out in the hallway…
I walked back over as Heidi got up and walked behind
Mark and Glenn who both just about shoot through the roof…They were howling and
rubbing they backsides…Heidi walked over…putting her straight pin back on the
wrist holder and chuckling a little…I couldn’t help but laugh also…I shook my
head at them and Mark said, “What the hell was that…Glenn did you feel that?”
I laughed as hard as Heidi did…Heidi said, “It was
me sticking you in the asses with a straight pin.” Mark growled a little and said, “Why?” I said, “Cause you
guys act like you’ve never seen a half naked girl before.” Mark said, “I have, but just not in my
dressing room.” I said, “Sure…and what
did you do in here, before you met Heidi…I’m pretty sure you wasn’t planting
flowers.” Glenn said, “I think I’ll go
get ready for my match now…Karen I’ll see you down by the curtain.” I smiled and said, “Okay.”
About 30 minutes later, after I had gotten
dressed…There was a knock on the door and Mark went ahead and answered it…and
said, “Karen it’s another delivery of flowers for you…” I was completely shocked and said,
“What?” Mark said, “C’mon and see.” I walked over and signed for it again…same long
white box…I took the top off and they were the same long stem Purple roses…And
the card just said:
I saw your other flowers dying…figured you could use
new ones.
~Your Secret Admirer.
I said, “I don’t understand…who the heck would want
to send me flowers…” Mark said,
“Obviously someone…” I said, “Yea…but
who…it’s got to be someone from the tour…No one else I know off the tour knows
I’m here.” Mark said, “Well…obviously
you’ve got someone attracted to you…cause isn’t this the second time you’ve
gotten flowers?” I smiled and said,
“Yea…but who wouldn’t want to send me flowers…I don’t get it…I’m no body
special.”
Mark hooked his finger under my chin and raised my
head to meet his eyes and said, “You’re special to every one on this tour…and
don you forget that girl…and besides obviously someone thinks your
special…otherwise they wouldn’t have bought you 2 dozen red roses…within 2
weeks.” I pushed my hair out of my eyes
and said, “Okay Mark…I get it…Thanks.”
Mark said, “Sure…No go on you’re supposed to meet Glenn.” I smiled and took off out the door to meet
Glenn…
**Same Warning**
For the next 6 months…every two weeks I would get a
fresh dozen of Purple roses with a card always signed by my Secret Admirer…I
couldn’t imagine who it was…and why they wouldn’t just come to me…
One night after we got done with Monday Night Raw…Me
and Glenn were sitting in his room and we were watching a movie and had already
had some dinner…Glenn said, “What’s wrong Karen you look frustrated?” I said, “Oh it’s this whole secret admirer
thing…it’s making me insane and probably making the person broke…” Glenn said, “I think it’s sweet.” I said, “I think it’s sweet too…I just hate
for the person to be spending that much money on just me alone…I would think
they would want to spend it on something more important…ya know?”
Glenn said, “Well…obviously they think you’re important…otherwise
they wouldn’t be sending you flowers.” I
said, “I know…but goodness…for the last 7 months…every 2 weeks I get a
dozen…Roses are not cheap ya know…”
Glenn said, “True…so is it really bothering you who your secret admirer
is?” I said, “Yea…I just wish whoever it
is…would tell me…I’d really like to thank them for the flowers…but also tell
them not to waste their money anymore…”
Glenn said, “Well…I better get going…I know you’ve
got homework to do…so I won’t bother you anymore.” I stood up with Glenn and walked him to the
door. Glenn said, “Well…I’ll see you in
the morning…G’night Karen.” I smiled and
said, “G’night Glenn.” I stood on my
tiptoes and kissed his cheek. And closed the door behind him as he walked out.
I was about to lock it when there was a knock…I
opened it and it was Glenn…I smiled and said, “Forgetting something?” Glenn said, “Yea…you.” I said, “Me?
Glenn what on earth are you talking about?” Glenn started pacing the floor in front of me
and said, “I have to tell you something.”
I said, “Okay…so stop acting like an insane psycho whose been caged for
30 years and tell me.” Glenn kept pacing
back and forth back and forth.
I finally stepped in front of him and grabbed his
hand and pulled him over to the couch…and sat him down…I sat next to him and
pulled my knees into my chest…I said, “You’re not a murderer right?” Glenn said, “No.” I said, “A psychotic wrestler no one knows
about?” Glenn said, “Karen don’t be silly.”
I said, “I’m being realistic…I don’t know everything
about you Glenn…I know Mark is your best friend, you’re damn near 7 feet
tall…you’re the most agile wrestler in the WWE other then Mark…You used to live
in Knoxville, Tennessee…but because you and Mark are such close friends…you
guys live in Houston Texas now…You’ve been divorced once…oh lord…are you
needing to tell me you’ve gone and gotten married again?”
Glenn said, “No…not exactly…but I have sort of
fallen in love with someone who doesn’t know it yet?” I said, “Glenn…there really is no sort
of…It’s kind of like doing half of a circumcision…you either go all the way or
fuckin’ forget it…” Glenn said, “Okay…so
I’m in love with someone who doesn’t know it.”
I said, “Ooo…that should be interesting when you tell her…or is it a him? Lord it isn’t
Mark is it? I mean I could help you tell
if it was a girl…but Mark well he’s kind of hard to read on…on…well on things
of that nature.”
Glenn said, “Oh Jesus, Mary & Joseph…Karen it’s
you!”
**Same Warning**
I threw my head back into the cushions of the couch
and groaned, “Oh!” and I swore I heard him say it was Mark…Then it hit me…he
said it was me…I picked my head up and said, “Oh.” A little
calmer…
I turned and looked at Glenn and I said, “Excuse the
witty come back but HUH?”
Glenn laughed at me and said, “It’s you. I can’t explain it…but it’s you…I’m the one
whose has been sending you the flowers…I sent them once cause I wanted to
welcome you to the company…but then I heard you say no one has ever given you
flowers before…and I couldn’t help but wanna keep sending them to you.”
I said, “You’re insane…Are you out of what ever is
left of your mind? Don’t get me wrong…I
loved the flowers, but…I…I…I’m just in shock now.” Glenn said, “You want me to leave?”
I was too shocked to answer…Glenn started to get up
to leave, when I grabbed his arm and said, “No!
Don’t go…I’m just shocked…I never imagined it would be you…Why me? There are at least 30 women who work here,
how did I get the attention?” Glenn said,
“Have you seen yourself? HELLO!…You’re gorgeous and beautiful, you have smile that lights
up any dull room and my heart…”
I said, “Yea, but why me…I’m so average…I’m by no
means anyone special…I mean c’mon I used to be a stripper for God’s sake…and
you’re such a great guy…you’re charming and funny…you can have any girl and you
picked me? I’m so honored…”
The realization finally hit me and I gasped, “Oh my
GOD…Do you know how much money you spent on roses…a dozen every 2 weeks for the
last 7 months….Are you crazy? I mean,
they were so beautiful and I’d never gotten flowers ever in my life…” I had a couple of tears sliding down my
cheeks…
Glenn said, “I never meant to make you cry…I’m sorry
Karen.”
I said, “Glenn…I’m not sad or mad cause it was
you…Just shocked that a guy…any guy would be interested in me enough to go to
all the trouble of doing the whole secret admirer thing…”
Glenn said, “Why, you’re a great person.” I said, “You’re such a sweet heart.” I moved around and touched Glenn’s cheek and
pulled him to me…and kissed hip lips very softly…he started kissing me
back…Glenn grabbed my hips and lifted me off the couch and sat me on his lap…we
wrapped our arms around each other and sat there kissing for a good 30
minutes…when we stopped we really didn’t have to decide on being a couple…we
just were.
Glenn ended up staying the night with me…and we
slept on the couch together…he kept me in his arms all night long…it felt
wonderful.

2 Years Later…
“Glenn if you don’t move your ass, I’m going to pop
this kid out on your leather interior.” I said, as another contraction ripped
through my abdomen. Glenn said, “Hold on
baby, we’re almost there…I promise.” I
said, “Next time I get married…I’m sewing my legs closed…nobody really gets
pregnant on their honeymoon wedding night do they?”
Glenn leaned over and said, “Elvis Presley got his
wife pregnant on their wedding night.” I
said, “Babe…you’re not Elvis, I’m not Priscilla, and I’m not carrying Lisa
Marie…Move your ass.” Glenn pounced on
the gas pedal and we were finally at the hospital after 15 minutes…and 20
contractions…
After 39 hours of labor, I finally gave birth to a
little boy…Patrick Michael Jacobs, all 26 inches was his father…I knew it…Blue
eyes and brown hair…yup I had a little mini Glenn to take care of…but it was
worth everything. Glenn was holding the
baby, and came over so I could see him…I planted a kiss on his head and a kiss
on Glenn’s lips and said, “He’s so beautiful.”
My eyes closed and the darkness surrounded me.
Glenn watched as the tried to resuscitate Karen…but
nothing worked…She died the same day Patrick was born…Glenn cried and cried…he
knew he’d have to be strong he’d have to raise Patrick…when Karen died…half of
his heart died with her…
6 years down the road…
Glenn walked over to the tombstone holding the hand
of a 6 year old brunette with big blue eyes…
Karen Jacobs
Beloved Wife & Mother.
Patrick said, “Daddy, why do we come here every year
on my birthday?” Glenn looked down and
saw Karen’s face looking back at him in the little boy…He ruffed his hair and
squatted down and pulled the little boy in front of him and said, “Listen big
man, I know you don’t understand right now…but someday you will…All you have to
remember is your mother loved you more then anything in this world…she’s an
angel now…and she’ll always be watching over us…she’s taking care of us…”
The little boy said, “You think so?” Glenn said, “Yea…I know so…you ready to
go?” “Yea…let’s go, we’re supposed to be
Auntie Heidi’s and Uncle Mark’s…They said I could baby sit the new baby.”
Glenn stood up and leaned over and kissed the head
stone and said, “I love you baby.”
Patrick leaned over and kissed the headstone too and said, “I love you
too mommy…See ya next year.”
As the 2 some walked away, they didn’t see the lady
in white standing near the trees crying…she uttered the words ‘ I love you too guys.’ And Vanished
as quickly as she had showed up.
Having the baby put to much
strain on Karen’s heart…no one even knew Karen had a bad heart…Because
underneath all the Leather and Lace laid a remarkable lady who had the power to
love everyone in her path.
