KEN ANDERSON WAS LIVING A GOOD LIFE WORKING FOR TNA AND MARRIED TO A WONDERFUL WOMAN. BUT WITH ONE ACCIDENT CAUSING THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE THROWS EVERYTHING THE PIECES AND KEN DECIDES THAT LEAVING HIS LIFE BEHIND AND MOVING TO A NEW CITY WHERE HE KNOWS NOTHING AND NOONE IN IT, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE MEETS A SPECIAL WOMAN WHO NEEDS A LITTLE SAVING HERSELF?
CHAPTER ONE- "A NEW TOWN AND NEW LIFE"
Ken Anderson walked through the arena of the small venue getting ready for his next TNA performance. He was trying really hard to hold the sadness back. It had been three months since his wife died in a car accident and it was hard for him to deal with. They were married for a only a short time, but he thought that he was going to be able to start his life and get things going. He thought he met the girl of his dreams. He took time off to reflect on what he wanted to do. It had finally come to him just a few short days ago. He was going to leave the wrestling business to take time for himself. The loss of his wife took everything out of him. It was hard enough when he blew his chance in the WWE, but now he had nothing…just a nice house a few hundred dollars in his wallet. It was time to make a change and figure his life out.
"Ken, you really should think this over before you leave." Dixie Carter called after him. "Listen Dixie, I thank you for the opportunity and helping me live on my dream. But I really have nothing left in me right now. I have thought this over for three months straight." "But do you really think that your wife would have wanted you to do this?" "Probably not, but I feel it's my only choice right now. I'm not going to sit around month after month hoping that im ready to come back before it turns into a year and it's practically pointless for me to come back. I just have to do this. I'm so sorry." "Ken, I wish you good luck, please take care of yourself. Call me if you change your mind okay?" "Thank you Dixie." He walked off into the distance no longer to be seen.
*FOUR MONTHS LATER*
Ken was grabbing the boxes out of the small moving truck. He had pulled up in front of a little one story house in a quiet neighborhood. It had been a couple weeks ago that he sold his big house not needing the space any more. He grabbed all of his belongings and started driving south eventually making his way into a small suburban town in Pennsylvania. He just wanted to get away from everything and everyone and be to himself. He was gathering one of his boxes when it dropped on the ground. He was about to pick it up when a woman approached him and started helping him. He could tell by her attire that she had been jogging. She had her blonde hair pulled back in a tight pony-tail and was wearing a flattering matching blue jogging outfit that complimented her very delicious curves. "Here let me help you with that." "Thanks." She looked him up and down and noticed his larger then normal muscles. He was wearing a basic grey t-shirt and faded blue jeans. He had dirty blonde hair that was kept fairly short. He had a very nice smile that was surrounded by a five o'clock shadow. She grabbed the box from the ground and he grabbed another box from the truck and they both walked inside his house together. "So what's your name?" "Ken Anderson, what's your name?" "Andrea Monahan, so what brings you all the way to Pennsylvania from Wisconsin?" "How did you know I came from Wisconsin?" "The license plate on the truck." "Oh…" He suddenly felt like a dummy. "Yeah, I just hopped in and drove. I sold my house and my big expensive car. I was planning on going out to town and finding a different vehicle. I don't need anything special. Just a reliable car or truck to last me a few years." "Well you've found the right girl. I actually work at the car dealership. I'm the secretary at the desk. If you drop my name maybe they'll knock off a few hundred. They are cool with negotiating." "Wow thank you so much, I really appreciate it. That's very nice for you to do that to someone you don't know." "Well of course I know you, your Ken Anderson." She gave him a silly smile and he couldn't help but laugh. They continued to place the boxes in his new empty home. "So do you have any kids or anything like that?" He had to take a second to hold back the hurt of the memories that flowed through his head. "…No, I don't have any kids and I'm not married either, how about you?" "I just live with my boyfriend and I have my golden retriever Gustav. We've been living here for about two years." "That's cool, you don't have any kids?" "No, I want to get married before I have kids. I hoping that my boyfriend will pop the question soon because we've been together for just over two years but he just cant seem to make the commitment. He asked me to move in with him but there is just something about his behavior. It's like he's in his own little world or something…wow, I'm so sorry I just totally went off on you. I didn't mean to do that to you." "It's okay, have you talked to him about this?" "Yeah, he just gets upset. I don't know what to do." "Well, just watch his behavior closely and maybe it'll just come to you and you'll figure it out." "I sure hope so, hey there's going to be a big party at the city hall this weekend. This is a small town so we're big on getting everyone together. Summer is almost here and we like to bring out the alcohol. All the kids go to the high school and hang out there with the few chaperones who don't like the alcohol. You should come so you can get to know everyone, this really is a nice town. Plus there are a lot of single girls in the town who I'm sure would love to meet you." "Oh I don't know about the whole dating thing right now. Wouldn't want to start a bad reputation in the beginning." "You raise a good point, but I do have to warn you to avoid Mandy Jacobson, she's the town slut. I'm not a mean person who likes to talk bad about people but she stole two of my boyfriend in high school and has slept with three husbands in this neighborhood alone. These men have admitted it so it's not gossip. One thing I do is only speak the truth. So will you go? You can meet my boyfriend Johnny and all my friends." "You know, that sounds like a nice idea…what time?" "Friday night at the city hall, it starts at eight o'clock." "Great, thanks again for all your help. I think I'll stop by the dealership tomorrow and check out what kind of vehicles you guys have." "Oh good, I work the morning shift until about three. If you show up then I'll sweet talk them for you okay?" "Thank you so much, that really is too kind of you." "Not a problem Ken, I better head back to my house. I have to go feed the pooch and Johnny should be home soon, take care." "Goodbye Andrea." He waved to her and walked back into his house.
Ken was looking through his closet trying to find a nice shirt to go with his nice dark jeans for the party. When he got here his intention was to zone out into his own world and forget about everything yet he was already about to mingle with the locals. There was something about Andrea that was so inviting. There was just something so innocent about her, she was that kind of person that you wanted to be around. The positive person that made everyone feel better about themselves, she literally was the girl next door. He finally found a nice dark blue shirt and slipped it on before heading out the door with a bottle of grey goose vodka he purchased from the local liquor store for the party. He had gone to the dealership the other day and found a nice newer four wheel drive Ford Ranger that was for a great price and paid for the whole thing with the money he made from his expedition he sold a few weeks prior.
He pulled up to the city hall and there were already a lot of people there. He was hoping that Andrea was already there because he didn't know anyone else and didn't have anyone to talk to. He knew that someone was going to recognize him from his wrestling career. That was one thing he liked about Andrea, she had no idea who he was…or she did and chose not to bombard him with questions. He walked through the door and saw the table full of liquor and pre-made shots and drinks. As he was setting the bottle down he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around relieved to see Andrea standing there. "Hey there hansom, you have looks to kill glad you could make it." She gave him a quick welcoming hug. "Yeah, thanks again for the invite. I was sort of nervous about coming here not knowing anyone." "Oh don't worry sweetheart, everyone here is really nice you have nothing to worry about. I want to introduce you to someone, come with me." She grabbed his hand and pulled him over to this taller good looking gentleman. "Honey this is the neighbor Ken I was telling you about. Ken this is my boyfriend Johnny." Johnny shook Ken's hand. "Hi there, your that wrestler guy aren't you?" "Yeah, that's me." "You aren't wrestling anymore? Didn't you used to wrestle for that bigger company? The WWF or something like that?" "The WWE, yeah I was wrestling for them for a little while then I went to TNA. I don't wrestle anymore though." "Oh that's cool, so I heard you met my girl here the other day?" "Yeah, was literally moving into my house when I dropped a box and she came running while she was on a run. It was really nice of her." "Yeah she's nice to everyone, Andrea wants to save the world one day at a time I swear." "Oh stop Johnny." She playfully whacked him in the arm. "Hey guys, I just saw Sarah come in I'll be right back okay?" "Alright baby." She kissed Johnny on the cheek and walked towards the door. Both Johnny and Ken were standing there silent for a second when Johnny finally spoke up. "So have you checked out any of the prime meat around this place? There's a lot of good looking woman in this town." "…um not yet, don't know how I feel about dating right now." "Aw, some broad break your heart or something?" "Yeah something like that." He lied and shrugged it off hoping for the subject change.
After a little while, Ken had been introduced to damn near everyone in the town. Andrea was right to say that everyone was really nice and welcoming. He ran into the car dealer and asked how the Ranger was running. While he was talking to the car dealer, a very attractive brunette wearing a rather revealing top approached him. "Hey there cutie pie, would you like to dance with me? This is a great song to dance to." Ken took a second to register what was going on around him. He was voted the class clown back in high school and was very well known for acting stupid and doing a silly dance here and there. He didn't want to be rude on the first night of getting to know everyone. He placed his hand in hers and she brought him out to the dance floor. It was a hip hop song and she started to lightly bump and grind against him. He barely knew what to do. He hadn't dance like that in ten years since he was a young buck trying to get the girls at the local bar. He tried keeping his cool and hoped that he didn't look stupid.
Andrea was sipping on her fourth martini and chatting with her friends Sarah and Jaime. Jaime was looking around hoping to find her future husband when she spotted Ken dancing with none other than Mandy Jacobson. "Wow Andrea, I think your cute neighbor friend has already been spotted by the slut queen." "What?" Andrea looked over and noticed Mandy bumping and grinding all over Ken. "Oh no, she really doesn't waste any time does she? Look at the way she is practically having sex with him on the floor. I don't know if he knows that's her but I gave him fair warning." "Oh Andrea, when are you going to learn that he's probably just like the other guys and is going to sleep with her eventually." Sarah chimed in. "Why do you think I divorced Ryan. There was no way I was going to stay married to him after cheating on me…but no less with her of all people." "I don't know girls, he just seems different to me." Andrea said in a hopeful voice. The song had ended and Ken parted ways with Mandy and started to make his way over to Andrea after seeing her. The next song was a slower one.
Both Jaime and Sarah couldn't stop staring at him as he was getting closer. He was definitely up for being one of the cutest guys in town. "Hey there, I thought since I already had the dance from hell you could help make up for it with a dance during this lovely tune." He said in a silly voice. Andrea lightly laughed at his humor. "I would absolutely love to." He grabbed her hand they walked to the dance floor together and got into position holding each other really close. While they were dancing, Sarah and Jaime were watching. "Wow Sarah, I don't know about you. But I think there might be some chemistry going on between those two." "Jaime, she's with Johnny and is very happy." "Listen, they may be together but he hasn't put a ring on her finger, plus he can be kind of a jerk sometimes. She needs a nicer guy who will appreciate her. Plus I totally take back the every guy thing because he called his dance from Mandy the dance from hell. I guess he just isn't that type of guy to go sleeping with the town slut." "Yeah you do have a point there, but do you really think it's a great idea to be stirring things up right now? He just moved here four days ago. Leave the poor guy alone." " I know but I'm just saying is all."
Meanwhile on the other side of the room, Johnny was standing there taking a shot of whiskey when his buddy Brad approached him holding the same bottle of whiskey. "Hey man, you see what's going on over there?" "Yeah dude, I've been watching it for the past two minutes. Who the fuck does he think he is moving into town and moving in on my woman." "You better do something about it man." "I don't know, not yet Brad. He's an ex wrestler and he hasn't been drinking that much. I don't want to get into a bar fight." "Oh come on man, you can take him. Your fucking taller than him." "I know I can take him. But I haven't gotten laid in like a week. Andrea and I haven't been working the same shifts and Mandy has been out of town all week." "Your still screwing Mandy? Have you caught a disease yet? You know I caught her practically having sex with your boy over there earlier." "Are you fucking kidding me? Now he's moving in on my bitch?" "You got to get your shit straightened out. You better marry Andrea before she starts falling for that Asshole, they seem to get along really well." "Yeah, that's a pretty good idea man. I'm going to go find Mandy, Andrea is too fucking drunk anyway." "Alright dude, don't do anything stupid." Brad joked as Johnny walked away.
The night continued on and Andrea kept sucking down the martini's having a really time. At this point it was about one in the morning and most of the people started to leave or were already gone. Ken was hanging out with Andrea and keeping an eye on her. It had been a while ago when they both realized Johnny had left. Ken couldn't understand what was with Johnny. He didn't like how he talked about other woman especially when he was with someone as great as Andrea on top of the fact that he must have left and without saying goodbye? What kind of boyfriend would do that? He was lost in his thoughts when he saw Andrea dancing alone on the floor acting silly. He walked over to her and grabbed her hand. He didn't have more then four beers the whole night but still had a really great time getting to know everyone. "Okay girly, we better get you home huh?" "Already? But Ken, I'm still dancing?" "Andrea, it's one thirteen in the morning and everyone is leaving. We should probably get you home in a nice comfy bed don't you think?" "…hmmmm…..maybe….okay fine let's go. Where's Johnny? He drove us here." "Johnny left earlier, I'll drive you home okay?" "He left? Did he say goodbye to me?" "No, I think he left hours ago. Don't worry about it I'll take you home okay?" "Okay, thank you so much Ken. Your such a great friend." "It's no problem." They gathered her purse and his keys and got in his truck and drove the five miles down the road.
While they were in the truck the radio was on loud enough for her to hear that Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. She grabbed the knob and turned it up singing along horribly but knowing all the words. Ken just looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. This was one of those moments where the person is looking like an idiot but you don't want to tell them because it's really entertaining but it's okay because no one else can see. He continued laughing as he pulled into his parking lot and walked around the truck to open her door. Luckily he was prepared to catch her because she almost fell out of the truck. He held her by her side and walked her to the truck and she was still singing. As they were approaching the house she let out an "Oh shit!" He looked down at her in shock. "What's that matter Andrea?" "I'm locked out of my house right now and I don't have my key. Johnny and I drove here together and he isn't home. Where the hell could he be? What time is it? I'm really tired." "Here, you can crash at my house okay?" "Huh?" He smiled at her and led her to his house. He unlocked the door and walked them inside. He helped her to the bedroom at the end of the hall that belonged to him. He opened a couple dresser drawers and pulled out a shirt and a pair of basketball shorts.
"Here if you can get into these, this will make your sleep more comfortable. I'm going to sleep on the couch. Just take the bed here okay? There's clean sheets and a nice warm blanket." "Are you sure Ken?" "I wouldn't have it any other way, sleep well. The bathroom is right there in case you feel the need to puke or something." "I hope not, goodnight Ken." "Night Andrea." He shut the door behind him and made his way down the hall to the couch. He grabbed a blanket that was sitting on the top of the couch and snuggled up trying to get comfortable. After about a half and hour of stirring around, he finally fell asleep.
