THE NEXT DAY

Katie and Wade were up early for the drive to Austin for lunch with Katie's parents; it was almost 7am. They each showered and got dressed before they packed up to leave. Wade pulled on a t-shirt and dark jeans with sneakers. Katie had on a pink tank top and denim short with sandals.

"We should just pack all of our stuff for Monday. We might be in Austin all day." Katie suggested. Wade nodded. "Will your parents like me?" Wade asked. Katie stopped packing and smiled. She draped her arms around Wade's neck. "I love you, so I'm sure they would at least like you." She said. Wade smiled and leaned down to kiss her lips. Katie smiled into the kiss and eventually broke it. "We should get going. The drive is about 3 hours; maybe 4 if we run into traffic." Katie said. Wade nodded and carried their packed bags to Katie's car.

Wade insisted on driving even though he had no clue where they were going. He put the address Katie gave him in the built-in GPS system. While he drove, he and Katie had a talk about their relationship and what they thought about the future.

"I think I fell in love with you when we met." Wade admitted. Katie blushed. "Really? I thought you were creepy." She said. Wade glanced at her and back at the road. "What? I did! Everywhere I went, you were right there. It was awkward, but you're so damn cute that I had to give you a shot." She said. Wade laughed. "This relationship might not last as long as I had hoped." He joked. Katie kept a straight face. "That's okay. I'll be 19 in a few months. I have the rest of my life to find someone." She said. Again, Wade glanced over at her. Katie smiled. Wade took a deep breath; he really thought she was serious.

Katie smiled in thought. "Wade?" she called out. "Yes, love?" he answered. "Do you really think this will last? I mean, there's such a big age gap and—"

"Age is just a number, darling. I love you and you love me. Age is such a small thing to define the status of a relationship." Wade said as he took Katie's left hand in his right. He pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it gently. Katie smiled lovingly and nodded. "See? This is why I call you Prince Charming." She said. Wade shrugged and smirked arrogantly.

All was quiet until Katie spoke again. "I really do love you, Wade. Thank you for all that you do with and for me." She said. Wade smiled. "No need to thank me, love. I do what I do because I want to." He said. Katie nodded and smiled. The rest of the ride was filled with Wade and Katie sing along with the radio and them having meaningless conversations.

Eventually, Wade pulled up to a fairly large house. "This is where your parents live?" he asked. Katie nodded. "Yep. This is home." she said. Wade was in awe of the home. There was a multiple car garage, but Wade decided to park in the space in front of the garage; he helped Katie out of the car. They decided to leave the bags inside.

Katie nearly dragged Wade to the door; he was afraid to meet her parents for the first time. She laughed at his nervousness and knocked on the door. The door opened and a woman about Katie's height stood on the other side; the two women could easily be mistaken for sisters or even twins. "Katie! I'm so glad you two could come!" she said excited. Katie smiled and hugged the woman. "Mom, this is Wade. Wade, this is my mom." Katie said, introducing the two. "Hello, Ma'am." Wade said as he shook the woman's hand. "Oh, please, call me Michelle." Katie's mom said. "Okay. It's nice to meet you, Michelle." Wade said with a smile.

Michelle smiled and waved the two over towards the kitchen. They each sat on stools behind the bar that was situated in the middle of the large kitchen. "Can I get either of you anything to drink?" she asked. "Water is fine for me, mom." Katie said. "Water for me as well." Wade said. Michelle nodded and poured three glasses of water. "Where's Daddy?" Katie asked. "He went out to the store. He should be back any minute." She said. Katie nodded.

Michelle handed out the glasses of water and focused on Wade. "He's cute, Katie. Good job!" She said. Katie saw Wade blush for the first time. He laughed a little. "Thank you, Ma'am. I can see where Katie gets her beauty." He said. "And he's a charmer. You've won me over, Wade. Now you've got to get past my husband." Michelle said. Wade chuckled nervously.

At that, the three people heard the garage door opening. "That's him now." Michelle said. Wade took a deep breath. Katie rubbed his leg under the bar. "It's going to be okay, babe. Just call him 'sir' and be polite." Katie instructed. Wade nodded and waited impatiently. He focused on the door that was being unlocked from the other side. The door opened and there stood Katie's dad. "Hey, Pumpkin!" he said excitedly. "Hey, Daddy!" she said with a bright smile.

Wade nearly screamed when he saw who stood before him; he almost fell off the stool. His mouth went dry as he stared at the man. He was one of Wade's idols. He looked up to him as a wrestler. Wade didn't know what to do or say. "Daddy, this is my boyfriend, Wade Barrett. Wade, this is my dad." Katie said as she introduced the two men. "Hello, Sir." Wade said as he shook the intimidating man's hand. Wade expected the man to insist on Wade calling him by his first name like Michelle had done earlier. Instead, Katie's dad just huffed at him.

Katie's dad stared at Wade as if he was studying him. "What happened to your nose?" he asked. "I uh, I used to be a bare knuckle fighter. I broke my nose doing it and I never got it fixed. It's like a badge of honor to me." Wade explained. Katie's dad sat expressionless. "What do you do for a living?" he asked. Too nervous to think, Wade answered truthfully. "I'm a professional wrestler; a WWE Superstar." He said. He didn't realize what he had said until Katie squeezed thigh. Katie's dad had found an expression to plaster over his face: anger.

"Can you excuse us?" he asked Wade. Wade nodded and went into the living room. Katie's dad turned to her; he didn't say anything. He just glared at her. Katie sighed and confessed. "I never went to California. I had an audition with WWE. I got the job and I've been wrestling with them for about a month now." She said. Michelle didn't seem very surprised by the news, but Katie's dad was livid. "I knew it! I told you to stay away from that business! Look what happened to Michael! He's dead because of it and if you don't stop, you'll end up just like him!" he said angrily.

"I am nothing like Mike, daddy! He died in a car accident! He's gone and we have to deal with it. He's not coming back! Wrestling didn't kill him, it's what made him feel alive. It was what he loved to do and it sucks that his life and career were cut short, but he's dead and there's nothing we can do about it. I am my own person, Daddy! I can do what I want when I want to do it and you're just going to have to accept it." Katie said. She stormed off to find Wade.

Katie found Wade sitting on a sofa in the living room. She cuddled up next to him as she sat. He wrapped an arm around her as she cried softly. Wade didn't say anything he just held Katie tightly in his arms.

Eventually, Michelle found the two in the living room. "Have you two eaten anything this morning?" she asked. "No, ma'am we haven't." Wade answered softly since Katie had fallen asleep. Michelle nodded and sighed. "I'm sorry for…" she started. "No need to apologize." Wade said. Michelle smiled and left.

As Michelle left, Katie's dad appeared; she stirred and woke up. Her dad gave a small smile. "I overreacted, Pumpkin. I should be more supportive of you and your dreams. I'm proud of you for doing that on your own, without my help." He said. Katie smiled. "Thank you, Daddy." She said. "It's good to meet you, Wade. Make sure you take good care of her out there on the road." He said. Wade nodded. "I will, sir." He said. Katie's dad smiled. "Call me Mark." He said. Wade nodded.

A few minutes later, Michelle finished making lunch so they all gathered in the dining room to eat. Mark blessed the food and they all ate. "So, how were able to get that job?" Mark asked Katie. "I just went to an audition." She said. "Really? That was it? You must have gotten lucky." Mark said. Wade chuckled. "The divas division needed the extra help." He said. Mark nodded. "When is your next show?" Mark asked. "Tomorrow, in San Antonio." Katie answered.

Mark nodded. "I would love to be there for support." He said. Katie was shocked. "Really?" she asked. Mark smiled and nodded. "Yeah." He said. Katie smiled. Mark turned his focus on Wade. "You said you were a bare knuckle fighter. How did you get into that?" he asked. "I stared back in 2002. I was in my early 20s; it was a good way for me to make extra cash. It paid pretty well." He said. Mark nearly choked on his food. "2002? How old are you?" he asked Wade without hesitation, he answered. "I'm 32 years of age, sir." He said.

Mark looked at Katie. "Really Katie? Were there no decent guys on the roster closer to your age?" he asked. "It's not a big deal, Daddy. He's only a few years older than me." She said. Mark counted on his fingers. "He's nearly 15 years older than you!" Mark shouted. "It's only 14 and so what? Besides, at least there's a responsible adult watching my every move while I'm on the road." She said. Luckily for Wade and Katie, Mark didn't catch the sexual innuendo. He seemed to be processing what she said. Mark nodded in understanding. "I guess," he said.

When everyone finished their lunch, Katie and Michelle took the dirty dishes to the kitchen so they could be washed. As they were gone, Mark and Wade continued conversing. "Do you love her?" Mark asked. Wade smiled lovingly as he thought about Katie. "Very much so, sir. I know you have reservations about the difference in age; but I'll tell you what I told Katie earlier today: age is merely a number. It's such a small thing by which relationships get defined. I don't see an issue with the age difference and neither does Katie." He said.

Mark nodded. "I just want what's best for my baby girl. After losing Michael, she's all me and Michelle have," Mark said. Wade nodded. "I understand that, sir. I do all I can to love and protect her. Thank you for giving the chance to prove myself to you." He said. Mark nodded. "I trust Katie's judgment and if she loves you, I just have to accept it whether I like it or not." He said. "I'm sorry about your son. I can't possibly image what that must feel like." Wade said sympathetically. Mark ignored the statement altogether. "I planned on doing a little golfing today. I want you to join me," He said. Wade nodded. "Okay." He said. He was a bit confused as to why he ignored the sentiment, but he let it go.

Soon enough, Katie and Michelle returned. Wade stood as the women entered the room. He had made it a habit; it was part of his chivalrous habits. He smiled at Katie; her eyes lit up when she saw Wade. Michelle made note of the loving stares exchanged between the two. Katie walked up to Wade and reached in his pocket. "I need the keys." She said innocently as she purposely brushed her hand against his denim clad love muscle. He shivered at the contact. "Mom and I are going shopping and I need something to wear." She said. Wade smiled. "You look lovely as is." He said. Katie smiled. "Aww. Thanks, babe." She said as she pecked his lips.

Wade watched Katie walk out of the house as he sat back down. Mark didn't like the way Wade was staring at Katie, so he interrupted Wade's train of thought. "You might want to change out of those jeans. It's hot out there and you're going to melt in those pants." He said. Wade nodded and went out to the car with Katie.

She was bent oven in the trunk when Wade snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her neck. "Your dad invited me to go golfing with him today." he said. Katie giggled. "Go easy on him." She said as she turned around in his arms and draped her arms around his neck. Wade frowned. "Why?" he asked. "He sucks at golf. He only golfs to enjoy the outdoors; he's not good at it." She said. Wade nodded. "I'll keep that in mind." He said.

Katie smiled and ruffled Wade's hair. He took the hint and leaned down to capture her lips in a breath-stealing kiss. Their tongues never fought for dominance. It was like they were molded perfectly for the other. Katie broke the kiss and followed up with light pecks. "We should get back inside before someone comes out here." Katie said. Wade nodded and grabbed their bags from the trunk. When the bags were retrieved, Katie closed the trunk and followed Katie back inside.

Mark glared at the couple when they came back in. "Your mom said you two are staying the night here." He told Katie. She nodded and started to leave to go to her old bedroom, but Mark stopped her. "You two can stay the night on one condition: you sleep in separate rooms. I don't want none of what just happened outside going on in this house." He said. Katie blushed; she didn't think anyone saw them outside. "Yes, sir." She said.

"I'll show you to your room, Wade." Mark said. Wade nodded and followed Mark and Katie up the stairs. There were several guest rooms, but Mark took Wade to the room furthest from Katie's bedroom. "Here you go. Make yourself comfortable. Don't forget to change out of those jeans. We'll leave in 20 minutes." Mark said. Wade nodded. "Okay." He said. Mark left the room and closed the door behind him.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Katie, Wade, Michelle, and Mark were all gathered around the dining room table for dinner. Mark had blessed the food and they ate.

"How was golfing?" Michelle asked Mark. He glanced at Wade. "I lost." He said simply. Katie looked at Wade in disbelief. He shrugged. Katie chuckled and shook her head. "How about you? Did you enjoy your shopping trip?" Mark asked Katie. She nodded. "It was nice. I picked out a few new dresses and other things." She said. Mark nodded. "That's nice." He said. Mark and Wade didn't converse directly during dinner; the tension was thick.

When everyone was done eating, Katie offered to help Michelle with the dishes. "No, thank you, Honey. Just go on up to bed." She said. Katie nodded. "You and daddy have a good night." She said. Michelle smiled and nodded. "You, too. Good night, Wade." She said. Wade smiled. "Good night, Michelle." He said. Katie hugged Mark. "Good night, Daddy." She said. Mark smiled and kissed her cheek. "Good night, Pumpkin." He said. "Good night, sir." Wade said. Mark huffed. "Don't forget: SEPARTATE rooms." He said. Katie nodded and went upstairs. Wade followed.

At the top of the stairs, Katie kissed Wade good night. "Good night, babe." She said. Wade smiled. "Good night, love." He said. Wade and Katie obeyed her father's rule and went to their separate rooms for the night.
