Chapter 1
Maggie was so excited to finally arrive in Florida. It was starting to get really cold in Detroit and she never was very tolerant of the cold weather. When she heard people say it just took time to get use to the cold Maggie would laugh in their faces. She had lived in Detroit, Michigan for 25 years and every winter she felt the exact same way. It was very hard to get use to negative degree weather with negative wind chill also coming into play on most days. But as she stood in the terminal of the Orlando airport she couldn't help but smile knowing that it was freezing back home.
She grabbed her carry-on and proceeded to find a cab. She didn't want to take a cab, but neither her brother nor best friend knew that she was down in Florida. She wanted to surprise the two of them. Thankfully it didn't take her long to find an open cab. Once she directed the driver where to go she sat back and enjoyed the peaceful drive. Florida had always been a nice place for her to come and unwind. She had been to Orlando on a few different occasions since her brother had gotten a job with Total Non-Stop Action (TNA) Wrestling. He had gotten her hooked on wrestling when they were younger and now she watched it as much as she could. She could still remember the first time she watched her brother wrestle. She had driven 6 hours with him to upper Michigan in the middle of March to watch a 5-minute tag-match. It wasn't a very long match, but his team had won. He had always been supportive of everything that she did and now she was able to support him on his wrestling career. She had seen quite a few of his matches throughout the years, but it never made it any less nerve-wracking for her. She had seen him hurt himself on more than one occasion, but it never stopped him from continuing on the path he was on. She didn't know if she could have been more proud of her brother.
"Do you know how much longer it will be?" Maggie asked the cab driver. She was getting anxious to get to the studio where TNA was filmed.
"Less than 5 minutes, I would guess." The cabbie said looking in his rearview mirror. Maggie smiled knowing how surprised her brother and best friend would be when she walked up to them.
As soon as the cab pulled up Maggie could feel the smile on her face grow. She was excited to see her brother, but she was a little more excited to see his tag-team partner. They had known each other for quite some time and had become really close quickly, but the last time she saw him there was a different kind of connection. Since the first time she met him she had a crush on him, but she always pushed those feelings away. Ever since she had known him there were always girls around him and he never seemed to be ready for a commitment, which was the one of the most important parts of a relationship in her eyes. But over the past few months things had started to change. He had gotten more serious when they talked and had even mentioned how he was looking forward to having a family in the future. At first it surprised her, but she took it all in. He had even asked her to dinner a few times over that period. The last time they had talked it became clear to both of them how much their relationship had changed.
"Miss," Maggie turned around to look at the cab driver as she got out of the cab. "Don't forget your bag."
"Thanks," Maggie said blushing a little at almost leaving her bag in the cab. The cabbie smiled and started the car. As soon as the cab was out of sight Maggie took a deep breath and went in to find her brother and best friend.
