Chapter 4

"Taylor!" Eve called out.

"Hey. What's up?" Taylor asked.

"So there's a rumor going around here that you and Ted arrived from the airport together." Eve answered.

"Yeah. He gave me a ride to the hotel. Not a big deal." Taylor responded.

"Ok. Just thought you should know." Eve stated.

"Thanks. I have a meeting with Stephanie I need to get to." Taylor responded.

"Dinner, tonight. Invite Ted." Eve stated.

"Alright." Taylor responded.

Taylor headed straight to Stephanie's office and knocked on the door. As she waited for Stephanie to answer, she sent Ted a text about dinner with everyone that night. He text her back agreeing to dinner, but after dinner he wanted just him and Taylor alone in his hotel room with a movie. Taylor simply sent him a winking smile in agreement.

"Taylor, come on in." Stephanie stated when she opened the door.

"Thank you." Taylor responded.

"I'm glad you could get her so quickly. I wanted to talk to you about a new storyline." Stephanie stated.

"Ok. Who is involved?" Taylor asked.

"Well, for starters you and DiBiase. I want to start it out as you are his valet and his is yours. Backstage he becomes protective of you and it eventually leads to a staged passionate kiss." Stephanie answered.

"Ok. Does Ted know about this yet?" Taylor asked.

"No. I wanted to meet with you first and see if you were okay with it." Stephanie answered.

"Ok. Well, it sounds good to me. I have no objections." Taylor responded.

"Great. I will talk to Ted and get things set. I will give Ted the script and please work on it tonight." Stephanie stated.

"Will do." Taylor responded before leaving the office.

Taylor headed over to wardrobe and talked with Julie about her outfits for Monday Night. Taylor requested her usual shorts and halter top for her match and a plaid pleated mini skirt with a matching button-up shirt for the rest of the show. Julie told her that she would have everything ready to go.

Later that afternoon at the hotel, Taylor was in her room relaxing and talking to her younger sister, Annie. Taylor was the second of 5 children. She has an older brother, Nick, then her, then Annie, then Greg and Brian. Annie was talking to Taylor about the wedding coming up.

"So are you still coming to the wedding alone?" Annie asked.

"No. I just haven't told him about the wedding yet. I still can't believe that my baby sister is getting married in less than a week." Taylor answered as there was a knock on her door.

"I know me either! So who are you bringing to the wedding?" Annie asked as Taylor let Ted into her room.

"Someone from work. Don't worry, he's a good man." Taylor answered as she smiled at Ted. "But I need to get going. I have to rehearse a new script."

"Ok. Love you sis. See you on Tuesday." Annie responded.

"Love you too." Taylor stated as she hung up the phone.

"Replacing me already?" Ted asked with a smile as he pulled Taylor close to him.

"I couldn't replace you. That was my sister." Taylor answered before kissing Ted.

"How many sisters do you have?" Ted asked.

"Just one sister and three brothers. Speaking of my sister, it totally skipped my mind, but she is getting married on Friday and I would love for you to be my date." Taylor answered.

"I would love too. Would you be my date for Mike's wedding?" Ted asked.

"Of course." Taylor answered.

Ted made sure that the door was locked before picking up Taylor and placing her on the bed. Ted laid on top of her as they started to make out and strip each other of their clothes. As Ted and Taylor made love to each other that afternoon, Eve and Layla heard moaning coming from the room. They just smiled at each other and kept on walking.

That night at dinner, everyone was sharing stories from their week off. Taylor and Ted were seated next to each other and Taylor kept running her hand up and down Ted's thigh making him want her more. After dinner, Taylor and Ted headed to his room to start working on the script for the show the next day. Once they had the script down, Ted ordered a movie and they curled up in bed for the rest of the night.

The next evening, Ted escorted Taylor to and from the ring for her match against Natalya, which she won. Taylor had just enough time to change clothes before escorting Ted to the ring for his match against Wade Barrett. Ted lost his match and Taylor escorted him backstage where the cameraman was waiting for their onscreen spot.

"Ted, what Wade did to you out there was wrong." Taylor stated.

"I know. But what can I do. I fought my best and my hardest." Ted responded.

"I know you did. And I am proud of you for that." Taylor stated as she moved a little closer to Ted.

"Thanks. You know, having you out there and around me, makes things so much better." Ted responded before they shared their first onscreen kiss.

Once the scene was over with, Taylor and Ted showered and changed clothes before heading back to the hotel. Taylor headed to her room and packed up before heading to Ted's room. Ted had just finished packing when Taylor knocked on his door. Ted let her in and she set her stuff down.

"Are you almost ready to hit the road?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah. But first there is something I've been wanting to do for a few hours now." Ted answered as he pulled Taylor in his arms.

"And what is that?" Taylor asked.

"This." Ted answered as he claimed her lips in a passionate kiss that lead them to making love before leaving the hotel.

Taylor and Ted drove towards Las Vegas where the Stokes family lived. Taylor thankfully had her own place as did her brother Nick and sister Annie. Taylor took over driving about 4 hours before they reached Vegas. Once they pulled into Vegas, Ted woke up from his little nap just as Taylor pulled up to the Las Vegas Police station.

"Is everything ok?" Ted asked confused.

"Yeah. My older brother works for the Las Vegas Police Department." Taylor answered. "I told him I would stop by when I got in."

"Oh ok." Ted responded.

"Come on." Taylor stated as she smiled.

Taylor and Ted walked into the police department and headed to the elevator. Taylor pushed the down button and soon they were walking into the Las Vegas Crime Lab. Taylor walked up to the front desk and smiled at the receptionist.
