**Chapter 3**

"Wake up sleepy head." she heard a voice call. She rubbed her eyes and stretched and saw three faces above her. She jumped in shock.

"Geesh guys!" She said, pushing Chris Sabin away from her and moving away from Scott and Alex. "To what do I owe the honor of being woke up by my three best friends." she laughed, sitting up.

"We just came over to see if Johnny was here." Alex said, sitting down casually eating a banana at the end of her bed. She kicked him in the thigh, pushing him off the bed and down to the floor. "Ow..." he said, standing up, rubbing his leg.

"I am here because of our meeting, remember. You have 30 minutes to get ready." Scott said. "I'll grab you breakfast from downstairs. What do you want?"

"Just a Muffin and some orange juice is fine. If I need to get ready you boys need to shoo." she said, herding the three men out her door. "I'll meet you downstairs." she called to Scott, closing her door.

Eliza didn't see Johnny until much later that day. He was in the ring with some of the trainees while Dutch Mantel was showing her some of the camera set ups. They smiled at each other, but kept to their respective duties. They kept catching each other stealing glances at the other the entire time they were in the arena together.

A short time later she was sitting in catering with Karen Jarrett, eating and just talking and catching up. Johnny and the new talent came in to grab waters and food and Karen noticed her eyes go right to him.

"I heard you guys had dinner last night." Karen said casually. "How did it go?" Eliza laughed.

"Man, I forgot how quickly word travels at a wrestling company." Karen smiled. Scott must have told Jeff, who told Karen.

"So, how did it go? Dish girl." Karen said, leaning closer.

"It was good. It was nice to catch up." Eliza said, trying to keep things vague.

"Catch up? That's it? I would have fucked him right here in catering if I were you." Karen said quietly laughing.

"Oh, don't think I didn't want to." she said. Some part of her mind had been on the thought of his hands all over her body ever since she had seen him yesterday. Hell, for the last four years that she had been sober. She knew that would have to wait, but the thought of him and her being like that again was driving her wild.

"Good for you, restraint and all that. I have none of that." Karen smiled. Jeff sat down and joined them. "Right honey?" she said looking at her husband.

"Whatever you say dear." Jeff laughed. "What are you girls talking about?"

"Oh, nothing, just catching up." Karen said, gently elbowing Eliza on the table. Eliza laughed and stood up.

"I think Dutch needs me to look at...something...um, yeah. I'll see you guys later." she said, pushing in her chair and heading away from the table before she could incriminate herself in front of her new boss. Jeff and Karen laughed and began talking with eachother. She walked out and started down the hall toward the production area. She was grabbed by the arm and pulled through a door. She gasped and prepared to defend herself when she saw the person who grabbed her. It was Johnny. He pulled her in and kissed her deeply, tongues intertwining. She leaned back onto the wall and pulled him close to her, feeling his body against hers. She had wanted this for the last four years of her life and finally getting it was more than she had anticipated. He pulled away from her leaving her reaching for him.

"I just had to do that." he said smiling. She grabbed him and pulled him in again, wrapping her leg around him, making it harder for him to get away. He pressed her into the wall and she could feel the bulge in his shorts growing. She began to reach for him so he could take her, right then and there in that empty room, but he broke away again. Stepping further away this time. She whimpered and he smiled. "Not here. Not like this. It's been too long and I want it to be special." he said, adjusting himself.

"I just want you to fuck me." Eliza said, reaching for him again. He laughed and stepped to the side, making her go behind him. She slapped him on the ass.

"Tonight. Meet me in my room. 415. Come as soon as you get back from here. I'll be waiting." he said, handing her a key card. She took it and put it in the pocket of her dress. He leaned in and kissed her again briefly before walking out the door. She sighed and took a moment to compose herself. At least she was going to another meeting with Dutch and Scott. That would throw some water on her fire pretty quickly she thought chuckling as she exited the same door Johnny just had, wishing the show was over already.
