Winds of Change
Chapter 1 : Road Buddies
Dallas, Texas - Bus Stop
" I will be glad once I am away from this rainy town, that all it seems to do is rain, rain, and rain some more. " Alyssa Joan Beth thought to herself.
After two years in a bad relationship with a guy who used her as a punching bag and allowed his buddies to use her in anyway they wanted, Alyssa finally had enough. She ended up in the hospital this last time with broken ribs, bruises, a concussion, and a black eye and the boy was now serving a prison sentence for abusing her which gave Alyssa the perfect opportunity to run without him trying to interfere. Alyssa was deep in thought when she heard someone talking to her.
" Uhm, excuse me ma ' am ? " said a male voice that made her jump.
" Yes , how can I help you ? " Alyssa asked the man being polite. He looked to be about six feet tall and well built without being overly muscular like a body builder, but you could tell he was tough. The man had a bit of a rugged look with long hair down past his shoulders underneath a Cowboy hat, he had shades over his eyes, a button down shirt, leather jacket, jeans, belt buckle, and Cowboy boots on as well.
" Didn ' t mean to startle you darlin , but I was wondering if I you would mind if I sit next to you while I wait on the bus ? " The man asked , he also had a southern accent with a twang .
" No , I don ' t mind. " Alyssa answered the man .
" Thank you darlin, by the way I ' m James Storm. " The man held out his hand with a smile.
" Alyssa Joan Beth, " Alyssa shook the man ' s hand, she could feel both the callouses on his hand and the strength in his arm.
" So , where are you from and where are you headed ? " Storm asked taking off his shades revealing a pair of blue eyes that were a lot like a stallion ' s eyes wild , but beautiful .
" I ' m from here in Dallas , but I am going to Orlando, Florida. " Alyssa said, at first she was going to tell him to mind his own business, but something about that smile and those blue eyes made her tell him the truth.
" Well, Alyssa Joan Beth, looks like me and you are going to be road buddies, I ' m headed to Orlando, Florida as well. " Storm smiled at her like they had been friends for years.
" No offense, but you don ' t sound like you are from Florida . " Alyssa looked at him.
" What makes you say that ? " James asked her curiously .
" You have a twang in your voice. " Alyssa said to Storm .
" Well , ya right, I ' m from Leipers Fork, Tennessee, but my job keeps me in Orlando most of the time. " James said .
" So , why are you all the way out here in Dallas if you work in Orlando ? " Alyssa asked .
" To help promote and spread the word about my job . " James said.
" If you don ' t mind me asking, what exactly is your job ? " Alyssa asked James just as a young boy about ten walked up to him.
" Hey, are you Cowboy James Storm ? " The young boy asked Storm .
" Yes , I am buddy, what can I do for you ? " Storm asked like it was nothing new for him, but Alyssa was confused .
" Can I get your autograph ? " The boy asked James.
" Certainly, so, you are a wrestling fan . " James said , Alyssa looked at him even more .
" Yes, I saw your match with Wildcat against Triple X last month . " The young boy said.
" Yeah, do you remember who won that match ? " James asked the boy as he signed a picture for the kid .
" America ' s Most Wanted , cause AMW are the best. " The boy said to Storm.
" That ' s right partner, " Storm said.
" So, is Wildcat here too ? " The boy asked .
" Nope , Chris was playing to long with the Catnip and got the flu . " Storm said .
" He ' s not suppose to be sick , he ' s suppose to be helping you . " The boy said .
" That ' s what I said and then hoped on a bus to come here so I won ' t catch what he got . " James laughed .
" Willie , come on . " A woman called to the boy .
" Coming mom , it was good to meet you and thank you for the autograph Cowboy, tell Wildcat to get better. " The boy said before running off to his mother with the signed picture from the Cowboy .
" You are a pro-wrestler ? " Alyssa asked .
" Yep, or as my mama use to say rastlin . " The Cowboy laughed .
" You wrestle for WWE ? " Alyssa asked .
" Nope, I do real wrestling darlin, not sports entertainment. I am a TNA Wrestler. " Storm said .
" Sorry, I haven ' t seen wrestling since I was little , I haven ' t done a lot of things that I would like since I was little . " Alyssa said looking at the floor .
Cowboy was looking at Alyssa for a little bit confused by her statement, but then the bus was called.
" All of those heading to Orlando, Florida, head to bus 132. " A voice over the intercom told them .
Alyssa and Storm both headed to the bus with the Cowboy still curious as to what Alyssa ment. Alyssa sat in one of the seats further to the back with Storm sitting next to her.
" You are going to ride with me the whole trip ? " Alyssa asked .
" Yep, I told you we were road buddies darlin. " Storm said .
" Uh huh , " Alyssa said looking out the window.
" So , what did you mean by you haven ' t done a lot of things that you would like since you were little, Alyssa ? " Storm asked curiously .
" Its along story, James . " Alyssa said .
" Its along trip, so , we have plenty of time. " James said looking at her with those blue eyes that seemed to make her feel like talking about anything with this man she just met.
" Tickets please . " The bus driver said at that moment.
Once everyone had given the bus driver their tickets, they were on their way to Orlando , Alyssa and Storm with their new road buddy.
