Annaliese sat in the folding chair beside Mark as he did the autograph signing

Annaliese sat in the folding chair beside Mark as he did the autograph signing. Apparently, multiple people had spotted Annaliese as Vince's adopted daughter and wanted her autograph as well so she now had a spot beside Mark to sigh for people. Only problem was, Mark and Annaliese were getting rowdy while sitting beside one another. Rowdiness only equaled trouble for the two adults.

Annaliese smiled at the little boy who stood in front of her and Mark. "Well ain't you cute."Mark said with a deep laugh that seemed to send chills through Annaliese's body. She coughed and shifted in her chair, getting a look from Mark that told her to stop. She rolled her eyes and smiled at the little boy again. "What can we sign for you sweetie?"She asked, holding her hands out for the little girl's items. "Well…I don't have anything…"he said, with a look of pity on his face Annaliese felt bad for the little boy and stood up. "You and your mommy come behind this desk."She said, nodding at the mother that stood close to her son. Annaliese took Mark's bandana from his head, flicking his ear when he went to voice his complaint. She handed the bandana for him to sign before unzipping her Edge hoodie. She signed the white R on the hoodie before switching with mark and signing the Bandana. She handed the little boy both items and smiled at him. "There ya go." "wow! My friends are never going to believe this"He said excitedly. "Well tell them you got these personally from The Undertaker and Annaliese McMahon themselves." "Yup. Tell them the Undertaker comes after non-believers."Mark voiced his opinion. Annaliese shook her head and pinched Mark on his arm before smiling at the mother. "Have a good day."She said only to get pinched on the thigh by Mark.

She glared at him and smacked his arm, sitting back down and crossing her arms. "This is so the last time I ever come with you to a signing." "No it ain't. We have another in a week but with Glen. Hey, Ain't you my assistant? You're suppose to remember these things. I'm paying you too damn much"He said, glaring down at her. Annaliese stared at him like he grew three heads and shook her head. "Stupid ass."She mumbled as she went back to signing things. The two continued to pinch each other through out the signing, getting laughs from the audience around them. "Stop you're blowing my Deadman composure!"He whispered harshly to her. "Ooh big word for you ain't it?"Annaliese said starting to laugh but yelped when he pinched her thigh again.

Mark was dieing from laughing so hard as they walked into the hotel lobby. Annaliese was slowly getting pissed off at this. "Shut up Mark!"She yelled at him, walking towards the elevator. "Aww, Come on now Anna. You gotta admit that was hilarious. You just stood up, slipped and bam!"He said, starting to laugh harder. Annaliese, being her clumsy little self had stood up ready to leave the signing when her foot got tangled on Mark's chair. She tried to yank her foot out and unknowingly hit her soda, spilling it all over herself. Mark obviously found it funny while Annaliese was slowly getting annoyed. They stepped into the elevator and she hit the 3rd floor button hard, looking away from Mark with an annoyed expression on her face. She glared over at Mark as he tried to stop his laughter when they both heard a loud bang and the Elevator shake a little that made them stop what they were doing.

"What the fuck just happened?"Annaliese asked panicking a little bit. Mark grabbed the emergency phone in the Elevator when the lights in the elevator started to flicker a little. Mark got to the front desk to ask what was happening, only to get told that the power keeps flicking, just before the phone went off. Mark hung up the phone and rubbed a large hand over his face. "They are getting a electrician over to help with the power as soon as they can."He muttered, sitting down on the floor. Annaliese groaned and sat down as well. "I guess now isn't the best time to tell you I'm kind of claustrophobic in rooms that have no windows huh?"She said, trying to play off like it wasn't a big thing but it was already getting to her. Mark shook his head and leaned back, closing his eyes. Anna looked around the Elevator nervously and took out her cell phone, trying to see if there was any service in it but there wasn't. For a pricy hotel, the service was pretty shitty. She was getting fidgety as she started playing with all the buttons on her phone.

Mark peeked open his eyes to see her messing with her phone. He knew that whenever she got nervous she tended to start playing with whatever was in her hands. He patted her knee gently. "Come here."He said, patting the floor between his legs. Annaliese looked at him for a second before willingly going over to him. She sat between his legs, her heart beating faster against her chest as she tried to control her emotions and the thoughts running through her head. Mark took her lengthy blonde hair and twisted it so it was in a bun. He gently rubbed her arms as she started to play with his jeans and sighed. Annaliese sniffled as she gripped his jeans gently. "Close your eyes pretty girl."He said, using the name that normally annoyed her to death but at the moment, she found it relaxing. She did what he told her to do, breathing through her mouth as she tried to calm down. Mark bought her back against him and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, holding her gently. He started to sing gently in her ear, trying to get her relaxed as possible until they were able to move. "So maybe you could walk with me a while,And maybe I could rest beneath your smile. Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold 'Cause it's a long trip alone"Annaliese relaxed in his arms, breathing calmly as she just focused on his voice. The only thing that didn't calm down was her heart beating against her chest as he did sing one of her few liked country songs.

Annaliese shivered a little as she felt his breath on the nape of her neck but remained where she was. He rubbed her arms that rested under his and sang in her ear, rocking her back and forth gently as she calmed down. Annaliese knew the song ended when he stopped singing. "Keep talking please."She asked gently, needing to hear his voice as reassurance right now. Mark nodded and started to tell her multiple stories of his wrestling career and his life before wrestling. "So you gave up basketball to become a big ole wrestler?"She asked, her eyes still closed. Mark chuckled and nodded. "Yup. Just think. If I hadn't become a wrestler, I wouldn't of met your bratty self, pretty girl."Mark said, his arms still around her and holding her against him. Anna laughed and shook her head. "I am not bratty Mark." She said, smiling. He kissed her cheek and patted her knee gently. "You have your moments little girl." Anna felt heat on both her cheeks after he kissed her cheek and knew she was blushing. She only hoped that his eyes were closed as well. They were enjoying each other's company at this moment. Just the sound of their voices and talking like they were friends.

Mark was laughing by the time Annaliese finished her story about how she got out of trouble with the cops one time by having Adam and Paul(HHH) with her in the mall. She was running around after a dare Edge had gave her and ran straight into a cop that was walking the mall. She tried to apologize and when Edge and Paul came running towards her, the cop stopped and started to apologize like a mad man. Mark shook his head and laughed. "You and Adam are crazy when you're together." "You should see Jeff around us, it's like all three of us are on crack sometimes."She said laughing at the memories. Jeff, Adam and Annaliese were pranksters and bestfriends when they were together. They joked continually and when a joke was being played, people knew where to look to automatically. Not to mention, the three corrupted other Wrestlers to get them in on the jokes as well.

Annaliese opened her eyes after a little bit of story telling and looked up at Mark with a smile. "Thanks for helping me Mark." He shook his head and stood up off the floor, helping her up as well. "Don't thank me. I didn't want to handle a death on my hands."he joked, flicking her arm gently. Annaliese grasped in fake shock and shook her finger at him. "ooh! I'm telling your mama next time I see her. Always picking on smaller girls."She said, laughing when he started tickling her sides. "You ain't ganna tell my mama nothing Pretty girl." He growled, Anna laughed, backing into the corner of the elevator and trying to get free from his hands. Mark grabbed her wrists when she tried to tickle him back and laughed, looking down at her. "Now now, you know better than to retaliate!" He said, acting like she had done something wrong. Anna laughed and looked up at him, smiling. Mark stopped laughing, noticing just how blue her eyes really were and how her blonde hair was more on the strawberry blonde side than icy blonde. He studied her face quietly, taking in every dent and mark on her face but he still came to one conclusion, she was beautiful. Annaliese did the same to him, noticing his hair had a red tinge to it a little bit and how his beard made him look all the more manly and handsome. She took in every little speckle on his face and still came to one conclusion that made their years of fighting seem pointless, he was more handsome than any man should be.

They continued to stare at each other. Their eyes traveling over each other's face, neither noticing they were getting closer by the second. Annaliese lifted her small hand and ran it over his cheek bone and then down his jaw bone, resting both of her hands on his chest now, feeling the muscle under his shirt. Mark trailed one of his large hands over her slim stomach and down the curves of her hips, resting them there. Their eyes connected, neither of them making a sound at this point. Annaliese looked up at him and slowly leaned up, brushing her soft lips against his. Mark stood still, watching her cautiously before leaning down and kissing her gently, his lips urging her to open her mouth. She opened her mouth a tiny bit, welcoming his tongue and kept kissing him, her hands gripping the front of his shirt as they kissed, neither caring about anything at the moment.

The moment was soon broken by the phone in the elevator ringing. The two pulled apart and stared at each other, mark backing up towards the phone and picking it up. Annaliese touched her lips that were swollen. It wasn't a painful swollen either, it was enjoyable. She had kissed plenty of boys but never had she kissed a man like that. She wanted to do it again and again. Annaliese didn't know what was going on and couldn't ask for an explanation from Mark either. The two had sat for two hours talking and ended up kissing in the end. It was just the situation right? No feelings were built. Oh god.She thought as the elevator shook once again and started up. Mark looked at her from across the elevator, both of them thinking the same exact thing. What the hell?
