Chapter 1
“Lexy...Hey Lexy,
can you hand me that brush?” Samantha said, working on Trish Stratus’ Golden
blonde locks…I leaned over and said, “Here, you go Sam…” handing her the brush
as I finished putting the purple hair dye in Jeff Hardy’s hair… I said, “Jeff,
are you sure about this babe?” Jeff looked in the mirror and said, “Absolutely
sweetie. It’ll look good…” I said, “Naomi is going to kill you…” He laughed and
said, “Nah, what’s the point of her dating me if she doesn’t get the full
effect of the dyed hair.” I giggled and said, “True.”
Sammy said, “Lexy, that’s the second time
I saw you out in La La land…wanna fess up to what
you’ve been off in space thinking about all day?” I ran a brush through Jeff’s
hair and he said, “She’s been fantasizing about screw my brains out, cause I’m such a stud.” I bopped Jeff on the head with the
brush and said, “Oh you’re so good, how’d you guess I
wanted you to take me here on the make up and hair counter?”
Jeff smiled and said, “Just a feeling I had…by the way Happy
Birthday Alexandra...” I smiled and said, “Thanks.” Jeff said, “So how old are
you now?” I said, “Jeffrey Nero Hardy…you’re not supposed to ask a lady her
age…or her weight...ever!” Jeff said, “Oh, she pulled out the full name…I wish
I knew you’re full name…you’d be sorry then...” I
said, “Alexandra Marie Shaw. I’m not ashamed of my full name…It sticks after a
while.” Jeff said, “Oh, I could call you AMS…for short.” I said, “No.” Jeff
laughed, when Matt and Amy walked around the corner and Jeff had me on the
ground sitting straddled on me tickling me…
I was laughing so hard and I said, “Uncle…Uncle…stop…stop…RAPE…RAPE...” Glenn
and Mark walked over when they heard me…by that time Jeff was sitting on the
floor next to me, and he was helping me up…My hair was all over the place…I sat
up and Mark said, “Was that you darlin’ ?” I said, “Yea, I was being attacked
by the tickle monster…” Mark said, “Hell, you scared us to death..” I said, “I’m sorry boys…” Glenn gave me his hand and
pulled me up to my feet…Jeff stood up and said, “I gotta get going…thanks
again…and Happy Birthday again sweetie”… He kissed my cheek and ran down the
hall to catch up with Matt and Amy…I said, “Bye, have a good match.” He waved
and then jumped on Matt.
I said, “So are you boys ready for hair and make up?” Mark and Glenn sat down…I
was doing Glenn and Sammy was doing Mark…Sammy said, “So you was about to tell
me why you’ve been spacing all day?” I said, “Oh that’s right…My best friend is
coming into town later tonight, in fact she should be here any minute…” Sammy
said, “Which one is it?” I said, “Allecia…my twin
sister.” Glenn said, “So in other words she’s as gorgeous as you are right?” I
smiled and said, “No way, she’s a hottie…she’s a
model for
Glenn said, “So is she single?” I said, “You know, I dunno, because last time we talked was a year ago, and she
was dating some over dressed snob from
Chapter 2
I’ve been working for the World Wrestling Federation for the last 3
years…I’ve loved every minute it of it…I do hair and makeup with Samantha, who
got hired the same day as me. Today just happened to be my 22nd birthday…My name
is Alexandra…I’m about 5’10” and 125lbs…I have sea blue eyes and the brightest
red hair…that goes all the way down to my waist…when I’m working I usually keep
it pulled up into a hair tie…but today I left it down…The only difference
between me and my sister was, Allecia had jet black
hair…and it was to about the middle of her back…but other then that, everything
else was the same…
Mark and Glenn were a couple of close friends who were
wrestlers…Mark is the Undertaker, and Glenn is Kane…they played brothers on TV,
and were brothers off TV…Mark had his dad’s last name Calloway and Glenn had
their mothers last name Jacobs, since their parents divorced when they were
younger.
I had just finished putting the dark circles around Glenn’s eyes for
his Kane mask when I heard someone said, “Ms. Shaw, I do declare you get more
beautiful every year. Happy Birthday you Siamese bitch.” In the best Scarlet
Gone With The Wind voice… I turned around and came
face to face with my sister…I said, “Ally…” I ran over and we stood there
hugging…and tears were sliding down our cheeks… I said, “Happy birthday.” We
didn’t want to let go…She said, “Yea, you too kiddo.” We both let out a heavy
sigh…and then parted…
I looked over and Mark, Glenn and Sammy, were watching us… Sam said,
“I have never seen two people get so emotional over a reunion.” I took her hand
and we walked back over into the little office…and I said, “Yea, but most
people aren’t as close as Ally and I…Ally, this is Samantha, Mark Calloway and
Glenn Jacobs…” Ally said, “It’s nice meeting all 3 of you.” As she shook their
hands…she said, “Just wait until the girls at the next photo shoot find out I
actually meet the Undertaker and Kane, their gonna
freak out.” Glenn said, “If you’d like we could sign some autographs for you to
take back with you when you leave…” Mark said, “Absolutely..”
Ally said, “Thanks, you guys are so sweet…”
I sprayed down Glenn’s hair to make sure it was nice and soppy wet,
and then scrunched it to make the curls come back…I said, “Okay babe, you’re
ready to rock and roll…” Glenn stood up and said, “Thanks sweetie.” I nodded
and said, “Yup, no problem…” Sam said, “Can you finish Mark, I need to visit
the little girls room…” Ally said, “Yea, uh me too…” I said, “Okay.” Sam took
Ally with her and they were gone for about 15 minutes…
I was running my fingers through Mark’s long dark hair…I said, “God
I love you’re hair.” He smiled and said, “Thanks…most of the women I date, hate
how long my hair is.” I said, “I can’t imagine why…I definitely think you’re
dating the wrong kind of women, you need to find someone whose
going to love everything about you, and stop dating those chippies.” Mark
started laughing and said, “Chippies?” I said, “Yea, you know little tarts…hoochie's…mongrel’s…” Mark laughed even harder…
I smacked his shoulder and said, “Stop laughing at me.” He said,
“I’m not laughing at you…I’m just laughing at how the words you use describe
every woman I’ve gone out with in the past.” I rubbed his shoulder and said,
“Oh, sorry.” He said, “Damn woman, your viscous.” As
he rubbed his shoulder where I smacked him…I said, “Stop it, you’re a
wrestler…if you can’t take me smacking you, then how do you make it through one
match with Glenn or one of those other Neanderthals?” Mark said, “You smacked,
they punch, well they fake punch…but some of it is actually felt,
besides my shoulder has been bothering me…”
I said, “Then why haven’t you taken some time off, you know you should.” Mark said, “Every time I start to, the
pain goes away, so I shrug it off.” I said, “What’s the pain feel like, does it
burn or does it just hurt?” Mark said, “It burns like a mother.” I said, “It
sounds like you ripped a muscle…it might just be trying to heel on it’s own…you should really have an MRI done on it.” He said,
“What if I need surgery?”
I said, “Ahhh…poor boo-boo…want me to come
sit with you…and take care of you when you get out of surgery.” Mark said,
“Yea, if you wouldn’t mind.” I said, “Mark, I was kidding.” Mark said, “Well.
Hell, I wasn’t…You know I wouldn’t trust anyone more then I would you.” I said,
“How about this…I’ll make a deal with you…you go have the MRI done, and if you
come back and tell me you have to have surgery, I’ll take time off work with
you and take care of you while you’re out.”
Chapter 3
Mark said, “Are you serious?” I said, “Yes, why wouldn’t I be…Mark,
you’ve been nothing but sweet to me for the last 3 years I’ve been here…you’re
a really great friend…so do we have a deal or what?” Mark said, “Absolutely.”
He stood up and shook my hand and said, “I gotta get going…” I said, “Have a
good match and tell Glenn I said the same for him as well.” Mark kissed the top
of my head and said, “We’ll do.” And walked away…
I stared off into space and said, “God, I could really fall in love
with that man.”
Mark was walked down the hallway thinking about Alex and said,
“Christ, I could really fall in love with that woman.”
Glenn walked out of the dressing room and said, “What woman?” Mark
said, “Nobody…by the way Alex told me to tell you to have a good match.” Glenn
said, “She’s awful sweet isn’t she?” Mark said, “Yup that she is.” Glenn saw
the twinkle in Mark’s eyes and said, “It’s her…it’s
Alex…you’re got a thing for Alex.” Mark said, “What? Are you completely crazy?”
Glenn pinched Mark cheek and said, “My big bro is in love with Alex.” Mark
said, “Dude, I am not, and if you pinch my cheek again, I’ll shave your head
and you can be Angle’s sidekick.” Glenn said, “Ouch, she’s really got a hold
over you.” Mark knew there was no denying it to his little brother who knew him
way to well…If anyone knew him better then himself, it was Glenn.
A couple of weeks later, I noticed Ally was spending more and more
time with me on the tour…and she finally told me she was dating Glenn…I was
happy for them, they deserved to be happy…One night I was packing up my stuff
cause the tour was getting ready to leave for Chicago…and Mark came in and sat
in the chair and I said, “Hey boo-boo, what’s up?” I continued packing and
handed my stuff to the road crew guy who put it on the truck…and then noticed
Mark had been quiet the whole time…
I sat down in the chair next to him, and touched his forearm…and
said, “What’s wrong Mark?” Mark felt something warm on his forearm and travel
up to his elbow, he looked up and Alex was staring back at him and he said, “I
had the MRI done.” I said, “And?” He said, “And they’re doing the surgery in 2
weeks. I’ve never had to have surgery before.” I said, “What’s the estimated
time they gave you until you can get back in the ring?” Mark said, “4 months.” I
said, “That’s not bad…it could be worse…they could have to amputate your whole
arm.” Mark laughed and I said, “See I knew I could get you too laugh…” Mark said, “I’ve never had to have surgery
before…especially not for any of my previous injuries…” I said, “Mark, Honey,
unless you wake up and your arm is missing, I really don’t think you have
anything to worry about…I mean it would really be a bitch if you woke up and
both your arms were missing…let alone just one.” Mark laughed again..
I said, “C’mon, I’ll buy you a beer you look like you could really
use one.” I leaned over and kissed his cheek. Mark thought he was going to pass
out and fall out of the chair…
Chapter 4
We went back to the hotel and went to the bar and actually ran into Glenn
and Ally, so we sat in the booth with them…Me and Ally with our strawberry
margarita’s on one side and Glenn and Mark with their beers on the other
side…Mark really hadn’t said much, he just sat there quiet nursing his beer.
When Ally and I got up to use the rest room…Glenn said, “Bro, what’s wrong with
you tonight?” Mark said, “Alex kissed me.”
Glenn said, “WHAT?” Mark said, “On the cheek…dude I thought my cheek
was on fire.” Glenn said, “Man you’ve got it bad for her don’t you?” Mark said,
“Yea, afraid so…but I’m 10 years older then her, do you know how messed up
people would think that is?” Glenn said, “You should know Alex better…she
thinks Age is just a number…give her a chance, you’ll never know if you don’t
say something to her.”
When we got back to the table the guys were ready to leave, Ally
said, “Would you and Glenn mind walking ahead, I would like to speak with Mark
alone?” Glenn and I shrugged out shoulders and got on the elevator…when it came
back down and they got on…Mark said, “Okay, Ally what’s this all about?” Ally
said, “Do you like my sister?” Mark said, “Does it show that much?”
Ally said, “I hate to tell you this, but you should give her a
chance…she might just surprise you…my sister has the uncanny ability to be
gorgeous and not even know it…she’s been offered hundreds of job offers to be a
model…hell she was even offered to be made a playboy playmate, and turned them
down flat…I was never ever offered playboy…”
Mark said, “Why the hell didn’t she go? She could be making so much money
instead of being here.” Ally said, “Alex is the type of person who is totally
in love with her job, just like you are…you love wrestling…she loves making you
boys look pretty…she describes you as the sweetest bunch of guys she’s ever
meet in her life.”
Mark said, “So what is this, the big sister talk?” Ally said, “No, I
just think you should know she’s had her heart and jaw broken by guys
before…she’s had a rough life…when we were 18, I was in Paris getting my
modeling career started, Alex was home and witness out parents getting into a
horrific accident and then had to watch them be burned to death…Last year when
she was with the creep Brian…she decided she’d had enough of him being drunk
all the time and broke up with him, before she could leave…he decided to beat
the crap out of her…and in the process broke her jaw…why do you think she came
to work with her jaw wired shut?”
Chapter 5
Mark got a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach and said, “She
told us she was in a car accident and broke her jaw by hitting the steering
wheel..” Ally shook her head no…and said, “Nope, and
now that little punk is serving prison time…I think it’s like 6-18 months.”
Mark said, “That’s all?”
Ally nodded her head and said, “Yea, she had a great attorney, but
apparently assault can only be proven with a witness…at least if he tried to
hurt someone else he’s got a record now and he’d do more time.” Mark said, “If
I ever see that little prick again, I’ll kill him.”
Ally said, “That’s the other reason, I know you like her, is because
you’d do anything for her, a couple of months ago she was sick with that virus
that was going around…I called her and said, I was going to take a break to
come take care of her, and said, she no cause you was taking care of her.” Mark
said, “I remember that, she was so sick, I remember her teeth chattering so
hard, mine were hurting for her.”
Ally said, “I’m telling you…you should talk to Alex…I bet you’d find
out some things about her you’ve never known.” Mark ran his hand through his
hair and said, “I don’t know, I don’t wanna run off and tell her how I feel
before I think about it…” Ally said, “What a fabulous idea…by the way
Deadman…if you break my sisters heart, I’ll break you’re neck.”
Mark said, “Big talk coming from someone who’s a foot shorter and
200lbs light then me…” Ally said, “Hey I might be small but it doesn’t mean I
couldn’t do damage, besides Alex taught me how to fight.” Mark said, “Alex, doesn’t fight.” Ally said, “Oh ye of little
knowledge…” When the elevator stopped and they walked out they were laughing
hard.
I walked over and said, “Okay, who are you and what have you done
with Mark? You do know him right…about 6’10” 325lbs….beautiful piercing green
eyes that could burn a hole in you if you ever pissed him off…he was seen here
early walking around like a shlump…”
Mark said, “Did you know you’re sister has one hell of a sense of
humor.” I said, “Of course, she’s my sister…” Mark said, “C’mon we need to have
a talk…” I said, “Can it wait, I’m beat…all I wanna do is get naked, take a hot
shower and go to bed.” Mark said, “Yes…Good night.” And kissed the top of my
head…I smiled and said, “Good night.”
I went in took a nice hot shower to relax me and then went to bed,
as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
Chapter 6
Two weeks later, I was sitting in room 325, hoping Mark’s surgery
was going well…I just had on levis, tennis shoes, and a red long sleeved cotton
shirt…I hated hospitals, always have…but since it was for Mark…then it was
worth it…
About two hours later, the doctor came in and said, “Mark’s surgery
went great, in fact it went better then we expected, instead of laying his
whole shoulder open, we went ahead and used the microscopic instruments…we can
release him in 2 days, and before you leave I’ll have someone show you how to
clean and take care of his bandages and stitches…In 4 weeks, I want him back
here so we can take the stitches out…then he will start some light physical
therapy and work his way up and in 3 months he’ll be checked again and
hopefully medically released to go back to work.”
I shook the doctor’s hand and said, “Thanks so much Dr. Iceberg. I
am sure Mark appreciates everything.”
An hour later they wheeled Mark in and I said, “He looks so pale.”
The nurse said, “Don’t worry honey, all surgical patients look pale and are
nauseas after surgery…he’ll get his color and lose the nauseas ness once he starts waking up in about a ½ hour. If you
need anything don’t hesitate to ask me or one of the other staff and well see
what we can do.” I said, “Thank you.” She said, “You’re quite welcome.” As she walked out the door…
About 45 minutes, the lump in the bed started moving around a
little…I stood up and touched his forehead. Mark opened his eyes and saw Alex
staring back at him…god, even when she’s in a hospital she’s beautiful Mark
thought to himself…I said, “Do you need something for the pain?” Mark said,
“No…no pain yet.” A couple of days later the hospital released Mark and he was
getting back to his normal self.
The first night I had to change the bandage on his shoulder, I
pulled the bandage back and got pretty squeamish. I made and face and Mark
started laughing at me…I put my hands on my hips and said, “Do you wanna be
here doing this by yourself Mark?” Trying to sound
threatening. Mark said, “No, I couldn’t help it the look on your face
gave you away, it was cute.” I said, “Yea, yea…bite me.”
I took the wet warm wash cloth and was lightly rubbing and dabbing
over the stitches to get the dried blood off, and I must of
hit a nerve, cause Mark sucked in a gasp of air…I scrunched my brow cause I
knew I had hurt him and said, “I’m sorry.” Mark said, “It’s
okay, I wasn’t expecting it.”
I put the cream on it and re bandaged it…and said, “I really am
sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Mark said, “I’m fine, my shoulder didn’t
fall off or anything…besides you know I don’t mind pain, it let’s me know I’m
still alive.”
Chapter 7
For the next 4 months, Mark and I had the best time together at his
Houston Texas ranch…we walked around his property and watched movies…we even
slept in his big ass king sized bed, of course nothing happened…but that’s the
way it was. Mark would lay in bed after Alex got up and would smell her pillow,
he loved the way she always had that certain scent to her…and never lost it…
I would get up and go down and clean up a little until the physical
therapist got there, he would only come every other day. So I would check the
schedule to see what he was going to put Mark through for that day…The
therapist told Mark to pick me up 10 times twice a day to keep his muscle
strong, after and in between therapy sessions. Mark said, “How is that going to
help? She weights less then her purse.” I smacked Marks non-hurt arm, and he
laughed at me.
After Mark got his medical release, the night before we were leaving
to catch up with the tour in Detroit Michigan. We were sitting in the living
room talking…Mark was on the couch and I was sitting on the floor with my knees
into my chest, and my arms around my knees…Mark said, “Remember about 4 months
ago I wanted to talk with you about something?” I said, “Yea…hey come to think
of it, we never did have that talk..” Mark said, “I
want to ask you something, and I want a truthful answer out of you.” I said,
“Okay Mark, go ahead.”
Mark thought ‘God I love the way she says my name’.
Mark said, “Ally and I had a really interesting conversation about
you that night on the elevator ride up…I was just wondering when Brian beat the
crap out of you that night, why did you tell me the next day that you broke your
jaw on the steering wheel in a car accident?” Mark stared at me, ad noticed as
soon as he mentioned Brian’s name, I had tears swelling in my eyes.
I looked at the floor and then looked back up at him and blinked,
which is when the tears poured out of my eyes down my cheeks…I finally said, “I
was so ashamed because I let him do that to me…I’ve taken dozens of self
defense classes…yet as soon as he threw the first punch, I was on the ground
trying to get away from him…and I tried to get away, but the more I tried…the
harder he hit me…all I had intensions of doing was to go in and break up with
him and then leave…If Ally wouldn’t have walked in I don’t think he would of
stopped…until I was dead.”
Mark sighed heavy and said, “Well you broke up with him alright, and
in return he broke your jaw…why didn’t you tell me? I can’t help you if you
don’t talk to me, Alex.” I said, “I didn’t ask for your help that night…I just
wanted to do it and get it over with…”
We sat there for a second and Mark got up and squatted in front of
me and whipped my tears away and said, “Are you ready for bed? We have a big
day tomorrow.” I nodded and said, “Yes.” Mark slid his arms around me and with
little to no effort stood up with me in his arms and carried me upstairs.
I changed into my t-shirt and shorts, and came out of the bathroom
and crawled under the covers with Mark as I shut the light off…Mark reached
over and pulled me over to be closer to him…I loved it!! Christ, I could really
fall in love with this man.
Mark felt Alex’s breathing slow and steady and knew she had fallen
asleep...Mark thought ‘God, I could really fall in love with this woman’.
Chapter 8
In the morning we caught the plane and got back to the wrestling
tour, we dropped out bags and stuff off at the hotel and then headed for the
arena…Mark went his way and I went mine and ran into Ally…she gave me a hug and
said, “Where’s Mark?” I said, “His dressing room, I assume…I’m not the man’s
keeper ya know.” Ally frowned and said, “Okay.” In a disappointed tone, knowing
Mark hadn’t told me about his feelings for me.
Mark ran into Glenn in their dressing room and Glenn said, “Bro,
it’s so nice to have you back…so did you tell Alex?” Mark ran his hand through
his hair and said, “I couldn’t…I tried so many damn times, I just couldn’t get
anything out…I mean shit…for the last 4 months we slept together in the same
damn bed, and I couldn’t even tell her.”
Glenn said, “HELLO? Did I just totally miss something? You slept in
the same God Damn bed with her for the last 4 months and you can’t even muster
up enough courage to just tell her you’re falling in love with the girl…”
Mark said, “I know I’m gonna have to make the first move, cause I
know she’s to shy to do anything. But I just don’t have the guts to do it…she’s
10 years younger then me…she’d never feel like that for me.”
Glenn said, “Since when did you become the shy one in the family?
You’re supposed to be the God Damn undertaker for Christ sake … you know the
freakin’ lord of darkness … Deadman Inc…Just friggin
tell her.”
Mark said, “Damn it Glenn lay off…I can’t tell her right now…this is
crazy, I’m going to the hotel to take a nap before my match tonight…you got me
all aggravated and flustered…you fucker!” Mark left and slammed the door as
hard as he could, which made Glenn jump, he knew he was slowly getting through
to Mark…
Two people who were clearly destined to be together, couldn’t find
their way to each others hearts, but they could stand and breathe the same damn
air every where they went.
Glenn knew he had to give Mark a little more of a push, but next
time it would be a huge push just cause he knew the more he pissed Mark off the
closer Mark would get to tell Alex how he really felt about her.
Chapter 9
I was walking down the hallway later that night, and felt an arm
reach out and grab me and pull me into a dark dressing room, I couldn’t see
anything…All I heard was a voice say, “You FUCKING BTICH!!” I got punched in
the face a couple of times…and then kicked a couple of times…and then I heard
the door open and close. I got up and walked around a little, I could barely
see, my vision was extremely blurry…
I ended up walking right out the back door and off the curb…the
arena didn’t have a parking garage, and it had started raining…I was soaking
wet and I could barely make out a light…I didn’t know what it was too though…I
was standing in the road that led out of the arena…I was about 10 feet from the
back door and noticed the light was getting closer…and stopped about 5 feet
from me…I looked up towards the sky and fell back onto my ass…and sat there…
Mark was pulling up to the back doors and saw Alex standing in the
rain…and thought ‘God, she’s even gorgeous soaking wet’. He stopped about 5
feet from Alex, and saw her fall down on her ass…He put the kick stand down on
his motorcycle…and walked over to her…
When I saw a figure come closer to me, I freaked out and was trying
to back away from it, and a voice said, “Alex…Alexandra…calm down, it’s me
Mark…” I looked up and Mark pushed my hair out of my face and noticed the white
of my eyes were blood red and looked as it my blue eyes were floating in pools
of blood…Mark said, “What the hell happened?”
I threw my arms around him and said, “Some one attacked me in a dark
dressing room, I couldn’t see who they were…” Mark noticed I was shaking…Mark
picked me up…about that time, Glenn walked through the back door cause he had
heard Mark’s bike, and came to talk with him…Glenn said, “What happened?”
Mark said, “Someone attacked her, she’s a mess, grab my bike, I’m
taking her down to the medical room…” Glenn said, “I’ll go find Ally…”
Mark walked down the hall with me, and I just kept my eyes closed
the whole time and Mark said, “It’s okay baby girl,
you’ll be fine, I promise…we’ll have the doctor take a look at you you’ll be
fine…” I just held on tight to him and didn’t want to let go of him…he was so
gentle and comforting…
Mark laid me on the exam table and started to leave me in there with
the doctor alone, and I grabbed his hand and said, “Don’t leave me please.”
Mark grabbed a stool and sat up towards my head, he held my hand while running this fingers through my hair…and petting me trying to keep
me calm…
I could feel Mark’s sweatshirt was soaking wet…and I said, “I’m
sorry you got wet…” Mark was whispering in my ear and said, “It’s
okay baby girl…don’t worry, I have dry clothes with me…I promise it’s okay.”
Glenn and Ally sat out side and waited for the doctor to walk
out…when he did, I was sitting up and I started crying and Mark was holding me,
while I cried on his shoulder. The doctor said, “She’s banged up and her ribs
are bruised, nothing broken, who ever hit her…hit her hard enough to where they
busted a couple of vessels in her eyes…she should go to the Emergency room,
they have specialists on call and can fix those blood vessels before it gets
any worse.”
Ally said, “Thanks doc.” Ally ran in and hugged me so tight…Glenn
told Mark what the doctor said, and Mark picked me up and I said, “Where are we
going?” Mark said, “The ER, to get your eyes looked at…” I said, “No, you
can’t, you’ll miss you’re first match back…”
Mark said, “It doesn’t matter, this is more important…Glenn call
Vince and let him know where were going, so he can fill the spot.” Glenn
whipped out his cell phone and told Vince everything. I said, “Yea, know my
legs aren’t broken, I can still walk on my own.” Mark said, “You took care of
my sorry ass for 4 months, it’s my turn to repay you.”
I said, “We shouldn’t even be having this conversation…you’ve been
dying to get back in the ring for the last 4 months…you need to put me down and
march your ass back down to your dressing room and get ready for that match.”
Mark said, “Hush up woman, we’re not discussing this
anymore.” I said, “You are the most stubborn man I’ve ever known in my life.”
Glenn and Ally were laughing under their breaths…Mark said, “Oh and you’re
not?” I said, “Nope, I’m not a man.” Mark said, “Funny, smart ass. Just shut
it, cause we’re going right now, not later, but
now…and that’s final….point blank and period. End of discussion.” At the
hospital, the ER doctor called the specialist who froze my eyes and fixed the
damage…
Chapter 10
Mark, Glenn and Ally, didn’t leave me alone for the next 4 weeks,
while my eyes and I healed up…I finally had to shove all of them away from mine
and Sam’s work station before they’d leave me alone.
Later that night, Mark plopped himself down in my chair and was
watching me closely as I did his hair and make up…Sam went for a potty break.
Mark kept staring at me and I said, “What?” Mark said, “Did you know you’re
beautiful?” I said, “Mark, have you been drinking or are you just losing your
mind?”
Mark said, “No, I haven’t been drinking, and of course I’m losing my
mind…by the way, I think I’m falling in love with you.” I almost fell down but
sat my butt in the chair next to him and said, “Excuse me?” Mark said, “Let’s
recap shall we? We’ve established you’re beautiful, I’m not drunk but I’m
losing my mind, and I happen to be falling completely in love with you.”
I stood up and said, “That’s what I thought you said.” I turned my
back to Mark and stared at the counter…Mark stood up and said, “So is it a bad
thing?” I said, “What you falling in love with me?” Mark said, “Yea…” I said,
“Of course not.” Mark said, “Alex…look at me please.”
I turned around and Mark touched my face and pulled me into a lip
burning toe curling passion filled kiss…I thought I was going to die right
there in that man’s arms…My hands slowly slid up his arms to his shoulders and
around his neck, as his arms snaked their way around my waist…I could feel one
of his huge warm hands on the middle of my back…
When we part, all I could do was stare at Marks emerald green
eyes…and I touched my lips…and then did the only thing that could come to mind,
I bolted…I ran down the hall and went into the ladies room…almost knocking over
poor Sam…
Mark returned to his dressing room looking and feeling
defeated…Glenn had Ally on his lap and said, “So what’s up bro?” Mark said,
“Well, good news, I finally confessed to Alex that I loved her…Bad news…after I
kissed her she bolted.” Ally laughed and said, “Don’t worry Mark, once what
ever said to her sinks in, she’ll realize she’s wanted this forever…and come to
her senses.” Mark said, “I really hope so.”
Chapter 11
For the next week I avoided Mark like the plague. He even did me the
favor of avoiding having to come to the Make up and hair station so he wouldn’t
make me feel uncomfortable…Sam and I were sitting in the room and had just
finished up with every one’s hair and make-up so we turned the radio on to
listen to some music while we cleaned up…
The radio DJ for Sacramento California (cause that’s where we were)
came on and said, “I just got a really strange quest to play a love song for a
young lady names Alexandra Shaw…It’s from your friend Mark…he said listen to
the word of the song, and you’ll understand how he truly feels…So here’s
Michelle Branches New song called ‘I’d rather be in love’.”
My eyes were huge and Sam came over and we stared at the radio
together while we held hands…The song started:
I cannot help it
I couldn't stop it if I tried
The same old heartbeat
Fills the emptiness I have inside
And I've heard that you can't fight love,
So I won't complain
'Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?
'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you
Turn out the lights now
To see is to believe
I just want you near me
I just want you here with me
And I'd give up everything only for you
It's the least that I could do
'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you
And I feel you holding me
Why are we afraid to be in love?
To be loved
I can't explain it
I know it's tough to be loved
And I feel you holding me
Oh, oh
And when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I’d rather be in love
Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love
Yes, I'd rather be in love
Oh, I'd rather be in love with you
And I feel you holding me, oh
Jeff, Matt and Amy busted through the door and Jeff said, “Holy
shit, did you hear that Alex…on the radio?” I said, “Yes, I did…”
We stood there for a second and I said, “Where is he? Where is Mark
right now, has anyone seen him?” Amy said, “Yea, he just went out for his Match
against Paul (Levesque) and Stephanie…He’s been dreading the match cause, she’s
supposed to crack him over the head with a metal chair tonight.” I said, “Good
lord.”
Sam, Matt and Amy stayed while Jeff and I took off to the back
curtain area…and stopped in front of the monitor…we were still pretty far from
the curtain area…but I wanted to check to make sure he was okay…Stephanie had
already smacked him with the chair, but something went wrong, cause he was
supposed to put his arm up and not have gotten hit, but he was laying in the
middle of the ring and his head was bleeding…
Jeff said, “So let’s get one thing straight, you love Mark?” I said,
“Yea, I’ve been in love with him for a while, but it was never really apparent
like this year…This isn’t in the script is it…he’s not supposed to really be
bleeding is he?” Jeff looked down and said, “No.” I grabbed his arm, and had my
mouth covered…and tears were swelling in my eyes but they wouldn’t fall…Jeff
tugged on my elbow and said, “C’mon, they’ll take him to the medical room…”
We took off running again and ran past the curtain area…and I could
see drops of blood on the floor…Glenn and Ally were sitting outside the medical
room and Glenn grabbed my waist and said, “Mark’s okay Alex…they are stitching
him up now…Mark just forgot the chair shot was coming…he forgot to put his arm
up…he’s going to be fine though.”
The doctor came out and left the door open, I walked in and closed
the door behind me…Mark said, “Alex, are you okay…” I shook my head no…I was
trying everything in my power to not cry…he looked pitiful, he had blood all
over his shirt and his head had stitches…and a bandage over it, but I could see
it was still bleeding pretty bad. I walked over and stood in front of him and
started to touch him, but pulled my hand away…
Mark said, “Sweetie it doesn’t hurt that bad…I’m fine…” I finally
blinked and tears flowed down my cheeks…and I stood on the step on the exam
table to be up level with him…and I threw my arms around his neck and he held
me while I cried…I said, “I’m so sorry.” Mark laughed and said, “For what baby
girl?” I said, “I am so in love with you, and I wanted to tell you, but when
you said that a week ago, I was just in total shock…I never meant to run…I
wanted to go back, and by the time I did you was gone.”
Mark said, “It’s okay baby…did you just say
you were in love with me?” I looked at him and nodded and said, “Yea, I love
you Mark.” Mark said, “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for you to say
that…” I said, “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to say that to you…” Mark
said, “I love you.” Mark whipped away my tears and kissed me again…I thought my
whole body was going to light on fire…you know like the Drew Barrymore from
Fire Starter…
Chapter 12
**NC-17**
Mark and I have been happy together for the last year…when ever we
have time off, I go with him to his ranch in Houston…and we just enjoy all the
time we’ve got together…When we are at the ranch, we are usually making love,
of course the best part about that is, finding new and interesting places to do
it…with as big as the property is, it’s actually pretty easy to find the
different places…of course neither of us are very shy when it comes to making
love…every once in a while I’ll blush at something Mark will say or do, but he
just laughs at me, cause he knows in some ways, I still have an innocent side
to me.
We had actually been off for the last 3 weeks for Christmas…Glenn
and Ally were staying with us in Houston…They had actually eloped about 6
months ago…My sister is so not into wasting time with things.
It was actually the first time in our lives as sisters that I could
really see her truly happy…every other guy she’s dated and tried to get serious
with never made her smile every day of her life…but not with Glenn, that boy
strived to great lengths to make her smile and laugh every single day they were
together and still does, even after they were married…
When my sister wants something she gets it…referring to them getting
married after only being together 2 months shy of a year…but I know they’ll
make it, love is on their side.
I actually woke up first and just laid in Mark’s arms, I was tracing
his tattoos on his forearm with my fingertips and nails. I knew the minute Mark
was awake, his grip around my waist became tighter, cause he knew I would be
getting up soon, and wasn’t about to let me escape this morning from his bed.
Especially not after last night and the wild love making that went on under
those covers…man if walls could talk…Mark kissed my ear and neck, knowing full
well if his tongue got anywhere near that little spot behind my earlobe, I
would go buck wild on him…
I loved the feel of his go-tee on the bare skin of my neck…I moved
my head to the side a little more, granting Mark excess to what ever he
wanted…Mark slid his hand up the t-shirt of his that I was wearing, and I could
feel my skin starting to light on fire with just the warmth of his hand on me…
The softness of his hand sliding up my stomach and ribcage and going
straight for what he wanted to feel, he cupped my breast as I could feel my
nipple slid between his fingers, and he applied a little pressure knowing
exactly what sort of response he would get from me. I let out a little moan and
Mark emitted a deep growl from the back of throat as he continued to kiss my
neck. My hand went back and caressed his thigh and slid down and rubbed up
against his ever present hard on, pressing into the back of my thigh.
Mark let out another growl as I ran my finger nails up the length of
his hard on, Mark moved around and pushed my knees apart with his knee…and slid
his body between my thighs…we were kissing so passionately, my nails were
digging into his shoulders and back…and he started trailing kisses down my body
stopping to pay some attention to my breasts and nipples, as he played with
them in his mouth, his hands slide down to my ass, and pushed me up in the bed
and his head was between my thighs, he was blowing his hot breath on my
clit…and it was making me go crazy…
He slid his hand up and placed it on my stomach and kept me still,
cause he knew I was going to buck…he slowly slid two fingers into my wetness as
he licked my clit like crazy…making me moan out his name in pleasure which just
made him grow harder…my hands were clenched to the sheets on the bed, and Marks
hand on my stomach left and found mine, and I let go of the sheets, and we
laced our fingers together and held on tight, cause I was slowly going over the
edge, and he knew I was enjoying every minute of it. I hadn’t climaxed yet, and
Mark was doing his damnest to make me cum.
In between licks, Mark’s deep southern voice said, “Alex, stop
fighting me…let it go baby girl…you know I love to hear you moan…” Just hearing
his deep voice, in between with what he was doing to my body totally threw me
over the edge, I said, “Mark….I’m….” and before I could get it out, Mark knew
exactly what I was doing…My fingers tightened around his…and he just let me
ride it out…so to speak.
Chapter 13
**NC-17**
I had my eyes closed and my hands over my face, and breathing
heavy…I felt Mark crawl up my body, and he said, “Alex…look
at me.” I slowly removed my hands and opened my eyes and he said, “Are you
okay?” I looked around and said, “Well, I’m not dead so, I guess so. Shit Mark,
You make me go completely insane.” Mark smiled and kissed me, I could taste my
juices on his tongue still…which turned me on even more…
We rolled over and I was sitting straddled on Mark, making sure to
rub up against his hard on, and he could feel how wet I was which made him
harder and managed to turn him on even more…I leaned down and was placing
kisses all over his chest…I licked his nipple and then blew air on it and
watched it go erect. Mark was just about to go crazy, and ran his hand through
his hair…Mark said, “That’s it. I‘ve had it.” I giggled as he practically threw
me over on my back, and started after me…as I was crawling backwards up towards
the head board.
Mark stalked after me on his hands and knees…When I bumped into the
head board, I stopped moving, and Mark grabbed my thighs, and pulled me down
around him, and he said, “I love you Alex…but you are a terrible tease.” I
giggled and said, “I love you too Mark…but live with it…cause
giving you something to chase is fun…” Mark said, “Oh make no mistake about it,
I love chasing you…just watch out when you get caught, cause
now I’m going to tear your ass up…” I said, “Yea, but I want you too.”
I bit my bottom lip and Mark kissed me deep and passionately as he
slid his huge hard on into my wetness. And I let out a little gasp, because
even with as long as we had been together, I still hadn’t gotten used to how
big he could get when I turned him on. After a couple of minutes of him letting
me get used to it, he started trusting into me…and I grabbed onto his shoulder.
Mark got a sudden surge of energy, and he sat up on his knees, still
partially in me, and grabbed my hands and pulled me up and I wrapped my legs
around him pushing him back all the way into me, he pushed me against the head
board, and held on to me with one arm and on the head board with the other
hand, and started going crazy thrusting in and out of me like an insane person
who hadn’t had sex in 90 years.
Just feeling him inside of me was way to much and was pushing me
slowly…I put my hand on his cheeks and he had this intense look on his face…and
we kissed and we were so close to the edge, with one final thrust of his
hips…we both climaxed together…
Mark laid back with me still in his arms and on his chest and him
still inside of me…We were catching our breath and coming down from the
clouds…I laid on his chest and I could feel him going soft inside of me, but
twitching from the intense climax we both had. When our breathing finally
regulated, Mark said, “Shit woman, are you trying to kill me?” I looked up into
his gorgeous emerald green eyes and said, “If I was, don’t you think I would
try a little harder and be more successful at it.”
Chapter 14
Mark patted my butt, and I moved off of him, and said, “Well, thanks
to you, I’m going to go take a shower now…if you don’t mind.” Mark rolled off
the bed behind me and walked behind me to the shower and took a shower with
me…he washed my hair and body and then helped me out and finished up by washing
himself.
I put on my khaki overalls, and a red long sleeve cotton shirt…I
left my hair wet and dangling in my face and walked down stairs only to find
Glenn and Ally sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee and talking…I walked in
and Glenn said, “So you are alive…I wasn’t sure you would be after the noises I
head coming from Mark’s room last night.” I blushed a little and said, “Glenn…get bent.”
I heard Mark laughing from the hallway…he walked in and I had to
exhale…he had on his black tight fit levis…and a black t-shirt on…and his hair
was in his face…Mark said, “Stop teasing Alex, Glenn.” I stuck my tongue out at
Glenn and he mocked me and Mark came over addressing me and said, “And
you…maybe we should be a little quieter from now on…”
And just to embarrass Mark, I turned to the sink to rinse the dishes
off and said, “Yes Mark, but it was you that said you liked to hear me moan…”
Mark’s eyes widened in disbelief in what I had just said and then turned 3
shades of red…
Mark said, “Alexandra.” I dried my hands off and walked over to him
and said, “Well, I’m just going off of what you said darling.” I kissed my
index finger and touched Mark’s lips with it…and walked right out the kitchen
and plopped down onto the couch in the den, leaving Mark standing there with a
look of shock on his face...I turned the TV on and flipped through some of the
channels, before stopping on HBO where the movie Bed of Roses had just started…
After I heard Glenn and Ally leave out the back door, I knew they
were going for there morning 2 hour walk around the property…not like they
would actually get a lot of walking done, because they barely ever made it from
behind the huge barn about 200ft from the back of the house…I looked over at
the door way leading to the kitchen and Mark was leaning against the door jam
with his arms crossed over his chest defensively…just staring at me…
I said, “Can I help you with something?” With a
sarcastic undertone. Mark said, “Yea, I would really appreciate it if
you would leave what I say to you in that bedroom…out of your conversations
with Glenn, Ally and anyone else.” He said it in a harsh tone…I sat up and said,
“What was I supposed to say Mark?” Mark said, “You say nothing. It’s none of
their damn business...”
I could hear his anger just rising to the top about what I said…I
said, “Sure, so next time he comments about our sex life, I just brush it off
like it’s no big deal…” Mark said, “Exactly.” I said, “Mark…you can get bent
too.” I shut the TV off and walked out the front door, pulling my Deadman Inc.
sweatshirt over my head, with my purse and keys in my hand…Mark watched out the
window as I got in my red (5 speed) Toyota RAV4 and take off…
Chapter 15
I hadn’t a clue where I was going, but I just wanted to get out…I
wasn’t sure if I was mad or upset at the fact that Mark got mad at me for
defending what Glenn said to me, which he shouldn’t have said in the first
place…It was like it was perfectly fine for Glenn and Mark both to embarrass
me, but I wasn’t allowed to say anything to them about it…I could of sworn
Marks skin was thinker then that.
I had been to Houston so many times I knew my way around to everything,
I went and walked around the mall for a while…I didn’t hear my cell going off,
and when I walked out to my vehicle…I checked my messages…and noticed I had
3…two were from Mark and 1 was from Ally…Ally said, “Lexy
girl…where are you? You have been gone for 4 hours…I’m starting to worry,
please call kiddo.” Mark’s messages said, “Alex, where are you…call me…” &
“This is a little childish for you to not answer the phone, are you 5
again…damn it Alex…call me.”
Okay my first thought was… “OH NO HE DIDN’T!”
Just my first thought…you know the jumping off point always starts with a first
thought…Just then my cell rang and I saw it was Ally’s cell number…I said,
“Hello.” Ally said, “Damn it Alex, where are you?” I said, “You know something,
I’m 23 years old…I don’t need a baby sitter…I can take care of myself. And you
can tell Mark, I’m not 5 again, I didn’t even hear my God damn phone going off
when you guys called.”
Ally said, “Alex, were just worried about you, it’s been 4 hours
since you left.” I said, “Yea, well don’t be…I’ve been to Houston enough times
to know where I’m going and how to get where ever I want to. By the way, I’m
not on my way back, I won’t be back for a while…so tell Mark to stop calling my
phone and leaving rude messages on my phone…cause it will only piss me off even
more.”
Ally said, “Okay Alex…but I know you’re not mad…you may be mad about
the messages, but I know you better then anyone does and I know your upset…and
you sound like you’ve been crying, you also sound like you’re going to cry
again.” Sometimes it amazed me how much my sister knew everything about me,
even when we weren’t in the same damn state…we lived apart for so long…and Ally
could still pick up on when I was hurting…Some times it really pissed me off
too…I said, “What’s your point Ally?” She said, “I guess I don’t have one.”
I heard Mark’s voice say, “Is that Alex.” Ally nodded and said,
“Yes.” I could hear Marks boots on the hard wood floors of his house and he
grabbed the phone from Ally’s hand and said, “God Damn it Alex, get back here…”
I said, “Mark, Stop yelling at me…I’ll tell you the same thing I told Ally, I’m
23 years old, I don’t need a baby sitter…I’ll also come back there when I’m
good and ready too.” And I smacked the receiver part of my flip phone shut…and
threw it in the seat next to me as I drove off…
I went down a country road, shifting gears as hard and fast as I
could…I was just trying to let some steam off…I was so frustrated…and Mark
yelling at me wasn’t helping…I hated it when he was mad at anyone he always had
this tone about his voice that could make any grown man cry…and would make
women cry 30 times just as bad…
Sometimes I think he forgets how his presence is scary…even to me,
and I loved him…some times he just got in his Undertaker attitude before a
match, and would actually scare the shit out of me…but I wasn’t so scared I
couldn’t approach him, cause even when he was in Undertaker mode…when I would
walk up to him, he’d smile at me…and kiss me…but as soon as I walked
away…everything was back to business…that was just the way Mark was…every thing
was fun and games until about 25 minutes to a match and then that’s when things
would get a little intense…yea right who am I fooling…they got a lot intense…but
that’s what I loved about him…he was a lover and a fighter to me…
Chapter 16
As I turned the corner, I looked down and noticed I had missed 5
calls…I checked through it, but no voice mail…and checked the number it was
Mark…I felt my heart soften and could tell my anger and frustration had left
me…I knew he was worried about me…that’s why he called…it was pitch black
outside…and he knew I hated driving at night…I pulled into the drive way and
noticed, the lights were off, except the kitchen, which meant either they were
all sitting up waiting for me to get back, or Mark was the only one waiting for
me to get back, and Glenn and Ally were sleeping.
I unlocked the door and walked in as quietly as possible, incase
they were sleeping, I didn’t want to wake them up…I heard voices in the kitchen
and was about to say something, when I heard Ally said, “Mark, you really hurt
Alex tonight…You seem to forget were twins and I can always tell when she’s
hurting…Alex is 10 minutes younger then me, so I always think of her as my baby
sister…even if we are the same damn age…when I was talking to her earlier she
had been crying…and sounded like she was going to cry again.” Glenn said, “This
is actually all my fault, I should of never said anything to Alex this morning,
I just love watching her blush…but I still shouldn’t have said anything to
her…I mean what you guys do in your room is private Mark…I’m sorry man.”
Mark said, “Don’t worry about it man…I should have known better then
to fall in love with someone 10 years younger then me…girls in there 20’s seem
to have more drama running over then, and I don’t need the drama…I love
Alex…but I seriously think our age difference is going to give us a problem for
the rest of our lives…if our relationship lasts that long.”
Ally said, “Mark, you’re not giving Alex, enough credit…she had more
maturity in her little pinky when she was 15, then anyone I knew at that
age…hell growing up she matured faster then I did…I was always boy crazy and
chasing the boys…not Alex, she was sophisticated…and would sit on the front
porch reading a book just watching me run around like a tom boy…she still
laughs at me about that…I don’t think your age difference is really the
problem…it was just the fact that she was trying to defend her self against what
dopey over here said to her, and you chewed her out for it…”
Ally sighed and said, “And I know you Mark…I know you have a bad
temper when provoked…but you shouldn’t have been so mean with her when she
fired back at Glenn and you…cause you embarrassed her just as bad as Glenn
did…My sister doesn’t take embarrassment as well as most people would, and she
gets defensive. People may say a lot of shit to you and her about your age
difference, but you know Alex wouldn’t care of you was 33 or 63…she loves you…and
when she’s with you, it’s the happiest I’ve seen her in a long time…no one will
ever be able to hold a candle to how happy you make Alex.” Mark said, “Just the
same…the age difference is going to end up killing us in the long run…I think
me and her really need to talk about this…and if us breaking up is what we
should do, then so be it.”
Chapter 17
When I heard that, my feet were stuck to the floor…and I couldn’t
move…tears were sliding down my cheeks…I wanted to run, but I just stood
there…I couldn’t believe, after all it took for me and Mark to finally get
together, he was actually going to just let our age difference be a deciding
factor on not to fight for our relationship.
I wanted to walk in there and choke him…or smack him around or I
don’t know something…but I just turned around and went up stairs and sat in the
bath tub full of hot water…I had my knees into my chest and my head resting on
my knees…and I couldn’t stop crying…I would calm down, but then my mind would
start replaying what Mark had said and tears would just slide down my cheeks
again…I wasn’t really making any noise…I just couldn’t keep the tears from
falling…
I sat there, and then I heard the threesome walking around
downstairs…Ally said, “Mark, Alex’s, Toyota is in the drive way, but she’s not
in it…” Mark said, “Did she come in and we not hear her?” Glenn said, “She had
to of, those are her tinny shoes.” Mark walked around looking for me…Ally and
Glenn went outside and checked in the barn…
Glenn said, “This really is my fault…if they break up…I’ll never
forgive myself…” Ally said, “Honey, you can’t blame yourself…Mark got mean with
Alex…he’s got to learn his bad temper will get the best of him every time….he
can’t yell at Alex…she’s so light hearted and a such a romantic…she’s the love
person in our family…she has always loved to be in love…and when she is, she’s
the happiest person…but she hasn’t been happy for a long time…that is until
Mark came around. He opened her up…and he made her smile and laugh
more in this last year, then she has in her whole life time.” Glenn said, “Yea,
but if I would of just kept my mouth shut…they wouldn’t have even been fighting
in the first place.”
Ally said, “Just calm down…they will be okay…this is Mark and Alex
were talking about, two people who were so meant to be together…they should
have a star named after them…they are soul mates… they complete each other.”
Glenn said, “Soul mates huh? So did you think were soul mates?” Ally smiled and
said, “I wouldn’t have married you if I wasn’t absolutely sure.”
Mark walked up stairs and walked past his room and noticed the light
on in the bathroom the door was cracked open a little…he walked in and opened
the door a little more and saw Alex sitting there…he walked in and sat on the
sink watching her stare off into space…he knew she had been crying…Mark said,
“So are you going to talk to me?”
I said, “What’s the point Mark…you’re just going to drop the
bullshit bomb and say our age difference is too much of a hassle to mess with
and then say something along the lines of ‘it was fun while it lasted…kid’.” He
said, “Where did you get an idea like that?”
I said, “From your mouth…I heard you, Ally and Glenn talking down
stairs when I first came back…I was so ready to just run in there and jump in
your arms…but as soon as I heard you say you should of known better then to
fall in love with someone 10 years younger then you…I knew it was coming. I
mean you obviously regret falling in love with me, and you can’t take my love
for you serious…Mark I love you…I don’t care that you’re 33…Hell I wouldn’t
even give a shit if you were 103…”
I moved around a little and continued, “I didn’t fall in love with
you because of your age, or you’re money, or your fame…And I sure as hell
didn’t fall in love with the Undertaker…there are so many things I love about
you and for some many different reasons…I could give a shit less about how old
you are…or who you are…I fell in love with you… Mark Calloway…the 6’10” 325lbs
Houston Texan…with a southern accent that sends chills up and down my spine
every time you talk to me…and who sets my lips on fire every time you kiss me…I
don’t think you’ll ever know exactly how much I really love you.”
Mark said, “I already know how much you love me…because I love you
just as much…I just hate fighting, I mean for the last 12 months that we’ve
been together, we have never had a fight until today. And that much wasn’t even
said. Alex, I love you and I want you to be part of my life forever and I
realize that Glenn and I started this day off really bad by embarrassing you,
which we shouldn’t have…at least he shouldn’t have…I know you can take it when
it’s just us, but I didn’t realize having other people around would make you
defensive…”
Chapter 18
***************************
I'd rather I chase your shadow all my life
Than be afraid of my own
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather not know
Where I'll be than
Be alone and convinced that I know
When the world keeps spinning round
My world's upside down
And I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you
And I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I wouldn't change a thing
***************************
I had my head down…Mark removed his shirt and then knelt down on the
floor next to the tub…and took the puff and put some of my strawberry scented
shower gel in it and started with my back, and washed around to my shoulder…and
took my hand, he opened my hand and held onto my fingers, and kissed the palm
of my hand…then washed down my arm and repeated the other side, and then washed
the rest of my body…
After he rinsed me all off, he pulled me up to my feet, and drained
the tub…he laid a towel down on the floor, and took my hand as I stepped out
and stood on the towel freezing…Mark started at my ankles and slowly worked his
way up my body and dried me off…when he was done, he stood in front of me, and
said, “Arms out.”
I put my arms out and he wrapped the towel around my body, then
picked me up and as he carried me out of the bathroom, he turned the light off…The
smell of Marks cologne, was heightened when he had his shirt off…I loved his
cologne, it just had that smell…you know the one…that makes all your senses go
absolutely crazy for what ever man is wearing it.
Mark walked with me into the bedroom, and set me on my feet, on
Mark’s side of the bed, and as he walked away he said, “Don’t move from that
spot.” I said, “Okay.” In a low tone. He walked away
and came back and had my red lace panties that looked like shorts from Victoria
Secrets, which he picked out one time when I went shopping…and one of his black
Undertaker t-shirts…He got down on one knee and had my panties in front of my
feet and said, “Get in.”
I cracked a smile cause I couldn’t figure out why he wouldn’t let me
dress myself…As I stepped in I held onto Mark’s shoulders for support…and he
pulled up my panties so they were on me…and then stood up, and said, “Arm’s
up.”
I put my arms up, and he put the t-shirt on me…and pulled it down
over all my curves…making sure to brush up against my nipples…which instantly
became hard…as soon as my shirt was on…he took my arms and wrapped them around
his neck, and he picked me up by my waist, and I instinctively wrapped my legs
around his waist. His hands were under my butt so I wouldn’t slide down...
I touched his face with my fingers…and ran my thumb across his red
lips…Mark finally broke the silence and said, “Alex, I don’t regret one second
that you’ve been in my life…I love you…I couldn’t ever love anyone else in my
life as much as I love you…no one…You complete everything in my life…when I’m
on the road and you’re not there, I get grouchy and temperamental.”

Everything I know has let me down
So I will just let go
Let you turn me inside out
Cause I know I'm not sure
about anything
But you wouldn't have it any other way
When the world keeps spinning round
My world's upside down
And I wouldn't change a thing
I've got nothing else to lose
I lost it all when I found you
And I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I wouldn't change a thing
***************************
Mark ran his hand down over his face and continued, “You can even
ask Glenn, he hates it when you take time off without me, cause I get my
attitude going much worse then it usually ever is…you calm me and relax me…and
you do things to me that make me go insane…like making me chase you around the
bedroom before, we make love…that drives me the craziest…but I love it…you
tease me in ways, I would of never thought would bother me, but when you get
down to business it makes me completely insane…and I love you for making me
feel that way…”
I said, “I love you too. And I’m glad I do all those things to you,
but if you really think the age thing is going to be a problem…and if you think
that it would be best if were to not see each other anymore, then…I’ll
understand.”
Mark looked at me for a couple of minutes, and said, “You couldn’t
get rid of me even if you wanted too. You could yell, scream, kick, throw shit,
but I would never budge.”
I giggled a little and Mark said, “See, I knew there was a smile in
your somewhere…I love it when you smile, and you should do it more often…I’m
sorry, I was so mean this morning, I was way out of line…I shouldn’t have
gotten so mad…and I didn’t mean to take it out on you, I know I should of really
been mad at Glenn for even saying anything in the first place…but just the
same…it’s not an excuse…”
I said, “Okay…I forgive you...” Mark said, “Just like that? Wow this
was easier then I thought…I thought for sure I’d have to do some groveling.” I
said, “Not a chance. But you will be on your knees begging later…I guarantee
it.” I smiled and Mark started laughing and said, “It’s a deal.”
Mark put me down and I sat on the bed and Mark knelt in front of me
on the floor but was between my legs. He said, “I was wondering something…” I
said, “Well you can wonder away or you can ask…”
***************************
Spinning turning watching burning
All my life has found its meaning
Walking crawling climbing falling
All my life has found its meaning
You and I wouldn't change a thing
No, you and I wouldn't change a thing
***************************
Mark nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll ask….” Mark dug in the front
pocket of his jeans for a minute, and pulled out a red velvet box, and opened
it and I thought my eyes were going to pop out…it was a 2 karat diamond ring,
cut into the shape of a heart on a silver band…
Mark said, “Will you marry me?”
All I could do was look at him…I blinked and tears rolled down my
cheeks…and I said, “Are you sure you wanna marry me? I’m so plain Mark.” Mark
said, “Hell yes…I don’t give a shit what other people will say…” I said,
“Yes…I’d love to be your wife…”
Mark slipped the ring on my finger and kissed me…He said, “I love
you Alex.”
I said, “I love you too Mark.”

The End….Maybe Sequel Worthy…
