Disclaimer: I only own my orginal characters and plot. I don't know own anything even close to being affliated with the WWE or anything else for that matter!! So, please don't sue me.
A/N: I don't know how many people actually like this story, but I'm going to keep updating anyway. Oh yea and I know this is sounding like the same sappy love fic that you've probably read a million times, but I promise it will be different. I'm just taking my time setting the characters in their place. Forgive me. So here's chapter 4…enjoy!
Glen took Cara to a small diner about five minutes away from the arena. The got inside and the place was practically empty. A gentle older woman brought them coffee and took their order. While they waited for their food Cara decided it was the perfect time to break out her plot ideas. "So I was thinking that next week Edge could interview you on The Cutting Edge. After he asks you some random bullshit questions, you could flip out knocking the stool over and get right in his face. You challenge him for the belt specifically saying you stool something that was very dear to me, now I want what's important to you. Glance down at the belt and that starts the whole thing" Cara explained not looking up at Glen until that moment. He had a sort of blank stare. "Hello…Glen did you hear me" Cara said waving her hand in front of him. "Uh…yup…I think it's a good start" he responded. He had been staring at her from the moment she started talking. "Well hopefully it will get you out of those dead-end storylines they've been setting you up in. I'd like to see your character get more air-time" she said not intentionally trying to inflate his ego. "Thanks...you know I really think this is a great idea. Not just because it centers around me but it's original and creative" he said genuinely complimenting her. "By the way your uncle wants you to meet him in his dressing room after the show tonight" Glen told her. "Why" she asked. "I'm pretty sure him and Sara are taking you out for dinner to congratulate you" he went on. "Oh…are you going to come" she asked shyly. "Do you want me too" he questioned flashing a slightly cocky smirk. "That's why I asked" she responded rolling her eyes in a joking manner. "Yea I'll go…sounds like a good time" he smiled at her. "Can I ask you a question…I mean you don't have to answer because its not really any of my business" she asked in a small voice. "Shoot" he replied blankly. "What had you so upset earlier on the phone" she pried. "Oh…well I guess if you don't hear it from me you'll hear it from someone else. My wife sent me divorce papers this morning and she decided to call and rub it in" he replied with a hint of anger building in his voice. "I'm sorry, you must really love her to be that upset" she said genuinely concerned. "No that's not why I was really mad. Things between me and her had been slipping for a while. Our phone calls became less frequent, and when we did get a hold of one another we had nothing to talk about. I knew it wasn't really there anymore, but I guess I just didn't know how to let it go. While I was on the road she had been cheating on me, and she told me that she was in love with the other guy" he said with that same anger building back up. "Wow" was all she could manage to say. "Yea I thought they always said that absence makes the heart grow fonder" he said almost in a sigh. "I guess you really have to be meant for each other for that to hold true" she said trying to cheer him up a little. "I guess you're right" he replied smiling at her. Their food came and they ate. Glen practically forced Cara to let him pay for the bill. They got back in the car and Glen put the radio on. Welcome To The Jungle by Guns and Roses came on and Cara changed the channel until she found Feel So Numb by Rob Zombie. Glen looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Hey no old people music while I'm in the car" she joked. "I'm not old and that is a great song" Glen replied smiling at her boldness. Then he changed the channel back. "What's wrong with Rob Zombie" she asked. "Nothing…I like this better" he responded. So she changed the channel back. "Hey" he piped up. So Glen changed the channel back and took Cara's hand and held it on the console. Cara was going to say something but she just giggled and left her hand resting in his.
Jeff was sitting in his locker room stretching for the show later, when his brother Matt walking in. "Hey man" Matt said from the door. "Yo Jeff anybody home" Matt laughed at his brother's spaced-out presence. He went over and tapped Jeff on the shoulder. Jeff practically fell over. "Holy shit man you scared the hell out of me" Jeff said clutching his chest. "What were you daydreaming about" Matt asked still laughing at his brother's reaction. "Nothing" Jeff responded. "That's one" Matt joked. "I was centering myself" Jeff said trying to convince Matt. "That's two…are you going to tell me the truth or do I have to beat it out of you" Matt jokingly questioned his brother. Jeff sighed the answered "Alright there's this girl, and before you say anything shut up." "She not just another one night stand kind of chick is she Jeff" Matt brought it back to a serious tone. "No it's not like that. She's beautiful…long blonde hair, deep green eyes, soft skin, gorgeous body, and she's funny too" Jeff said remembering every feature of her face. "Who is she" Matt asked. "Her name is Cara and she's a new writer" Jeff smiled. "Hmmm so she's smart too…well that's a good start" Matt quipped. "I wanna get to know her better…I mean all I got was a good look" Jeff said looking at his brother for advice. "So ask her out genius" Matt responded. "Yea no shit, but what if she doesn't like me" Jeff asked. "Are you kidding me…you must really like her to actually care about rejection" Matt joked. Jeff gave him a dirty look. "Ok ok I'm sorry. Look, just try to take it slow then. Ask her to hang out with a bunch of us. Then it won't seem so obvious" Matt suggested. "You know I think you might actually have a good idea for once" Jeff quipped. "Ha funny…I always have good ideas" Matt proclaimed. "Sure you do" Jeff said rolling his eyes. "I do" Matt said as they walked out of the dressing room and headed toward the gym.
Glen and Cara pulled into the parking lot. "Can I have my hand back now" Cara joked. "Nope" Glen replied with a sly smile. "Then how would you like me to get out of the car" Cara questioned. "Like this" Glen replied and in one swift motion he lifted her out of her seat, over the console, and into his lap. He opened his door and carried them both out of the car. "I guess you are pretty strong" she giggled. "What do you weigh like a hundred pounds" Glen joked. "No…a little more" she smiled. "Not much" he replied. Then Glen tossed her over his shoulder and carried her to the steps to get into the arena. He set her down on the third step. "Ha look I'm almost as tall as you now" Cara joked. Glen just smiled at her and stayed silent taking in all of her beauty. A small gust of wind blew a stray piece of hair into Cara's eyes. He reached his hand up and tucked it behind her ear, gently stroking her face as he pulled his hand away. Slowly they inched closer until he leaned down and captured her lips with his. It was a slow soft kiss and it started to intensify. Grabbing Cara by her waist he pulled her in closer and she put her hands around his neck to pull him in as far as she could. He slid his tongue into her mouth and she welcomed it. They stood like that for what seemed like an hour only to be interrupted by the door opening. "Oh my goodness…I'm so sorry" Kari pleaded and ran back inside. "I guess I better get going I have to start writing the scripts out" Cara said regretfully. "Yea I gotta get ready for the show, but I'll see you tonight" Glen smiled. He walked her inside to her office and kissed her on the cheek before heading off toward his dressing room.
Cara entered her office only to find Kari sitting on her desk with a "Cheshire Cat" like grin on her face. "Details" Kari squealed. Cara turned red and told her everything that happened during lunch. "Oh man he wants you" Kari gloated. All Cara could do was giggle and turn red. "My Aunt and Uncle are taking me out to dinner tonight, and he's coming" Cara blurted out. "I want the story when you get back to our hotel room" Kari said handing her a keycard. "What's this" Cara asked. "Our room key silly…I went by the hotel while you were out and checked us in. "Ok well my luggage is in my uncle's truck so I'll bring it in when I'm done dinner" Cara said. "Just throw it in my rental and Jay can carry it in when we leave after the show" Kari offered. "You sure" Cara asked. "Positive" Kari replied. So Cara went and got her uncle's keys off of her aunt and the two girls dragged Jay out to help them. "What am I the service boy" Jay joked. "No but I've been driving your ass around because you for got to rent a car. The least you can do is carry a few bags" Kari responded sarcastically. "Touché" Jay replied defeated.
"So how was lunch" Mark asked as Glen joined him in the gym. "Good" Glen said smiling. "Just good huh…are you coming with us tonight" Mark asked. "Yea I'll come by your dressing room right after I get a shower" Glen responded. "Did anything happen" Mark asked. "No…what is this high school" Glen questioned him back. "No but generally I'm going to think something's up after you walk in here like you just won the lottery" ark quipped. "Can't a guy just have a good day" Glen responded. "Not when his wife sends him divorce papers the same morning" Mark retorted. "Alright! I kissed her" Glen admitted. They headed out of the gym after an hour and went to get ready for the show. SmackDown went off without a hitch that night. On the next episode Cara's storyline was set to come into play.
"Kari Do I look ok" Cara questioned looking at herself in the mirror. "Yea you look just as good at you did this afternoon" Kari replied with an honest answer. Cara took her hair out of the ponytail and let the loose curls fly free. The girls finished watching the show on a television backstage. Cara gathered up her stuff, gave Kari a hug, and was on her way to her uncle's dressing room. Then someone stopped her. "Hey Cara" she heard a familiar voice call from just behind her. She turned around to see Jeff Hardy. "Do you have any plans tomorrow night" Jeff asked. "Not that I know of…why" Cara asked almost loosing herself in his charming smile. "A whole bunch of us are heading to a club and I was wondering if you wanted to come. It would be a great chance to meet a lot of people on the roster" Jeff tried to persuade her. "Could I bring Kari" Cara asked knowing that if she had her friend with her she wouldn't feel out of place. "Sure…we're going after the taping so I'll meet you at your hotel room around ten-ish" Jeff offered. Cara dug in her purse to find her room key. "Ok I'm in room 439" She said looking at the card. "Ok it's a date then" Jeff winked and walked off. Cara finally made it to her uncle's dressing room.
"There she is my big time writer" Sara said bear hugging her niece. "For a petite woman you give strong hugs" Cara joked catching her breath. "Where's Uncle Mark" she asked. Getting out of the shower" Sara responded. They were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Honey can you get that I'm gonna go check on your uncle" Sara asked with a sly smile. Mark told her everything that happened between Glen and Cara, and she knew who was at the door. Cara answered the door and there he was looking even better than he did before, even though he was wearing the same thing. "Hey toots" Glen said as he walked into the room. "Toots??" she giggled. "Yup" he responded with smile. "Where is everyone" he questioned looking around the room. "Getting ready I think" Cara shrugged. Two minutes later Mark and Sara walked out and everybody left. "I'll follow you guys in my truck" Glen said to Mark and Sara who were walking just a few steps ahead of him and Cara. "You coming with me" Glen asked Cara wrapping his arm around her waist pulling her to him. "Yea sure why not" she responded and giggled. "I'm going to go with Glen you guys" Cara told her aunt and uncle. Mark and Sara looked at each other and smiled. "She's good for him. He's been miserable for the past year, and she makes him smile." Sara said watching the two get into his truck. "Yea I just hope he's good for her" Mark responded. "He'll treat her good and you know it. Just let them enjoy each other's company for now and see where things go" Sara reasoned. "Worst case scenario…he hurts her…I kill him" Mark joked. "If you beat me to it" Sara quipped.
"You know I'm sorry about earlier…I mean I wanted to kiss you but I don't want to rush you into anything or pressuring you into thinking I want something more from you. I it was just the heat of the moment and…" Glen rambled before Cara cut him off. "I kissed you back didn't I" Cara pointed out. "I like spending time with you. It makes it easy to forget everything else" Glen said in an almost shy tone. "I feel the same way about you" Cara replied easing his tension. She slid her hand underneath of his hand and intertwined their fingers. He lifted their hands up and kissed the back of hers. They reached the restaurant about 20 minutes later. They enjoyed the food and conversation for about two and a half hours before deciding to call it a night. Mark and Sara kissed their niece goodbye and said they'd call her the next day. Glen drove back to the hotel as he and Cara sat in a content silence once again holding hands. "I'll walk you up to your room" Glen said grabbing his bag out of the backseat. "Ok" Cara didn't argue. They got on the elevator and Cara let out a big yawn. "Tired?" Glen asked rhetorically. She nodded and he pulled her closer to him by her waist. She was facing him centimeters from his lips. She pulled his face down and gave him a small kiss on the lips. Then she rested her head on his chest. When the elevator stopped at Cara's floor they hesitantly pulled away and headed towards her room. They reached the door and she turned around to face him. "Thanks for coming tonight I had a really good time" Cara said with a comfortable smile. "My pleasure" he said returning her smile. He bent down to give her what he thought would be a small kiss, but she had other plans when she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in closer. He wasn't complaining he lifted her up off the ground and she wrapped her legs around him. He pushed her up against the wall and moved his hands downward towards her backside. Kari opened the hotel room door and her jaw dropped to the floor. She then smiled and decided to continue on her venture to get ice. "Hey sweets" Kari jokingly said knowing that Cara couldn't answer. Cara just waved at her. After another minute or so Glen and Cara broke apart. "I better get inside before she gets back" Cara said trying to catch her breath. Glen just nodded. "Alright I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight toots" Glen said planting a small kiss on her cheek. "Night" she said with a big smile.
Cara walked in the hotel room and pulled out her cell phone. She called her grandmother. "Hello" and older woman answered. "Hey grams how's my little man doing" Cara asked aching to see her son's chubby face. "He's fine baby. He fell asleep around nine o'clock tonight" she answered. "God I miss him, but we'll be heading home the day after tomorrow for a few days. I can't wait" Cara said excited. "Baby you'll get used to it…you're a working mother and he's in good hands" the older woman said comforting her. "I know Grams. Even though I'm only gone three days a week I still miss him" Cara said. "We all make sacrifices dear, but this will take care of you and Alex for the rest of your lives. Now you stop worrying, I'll give him a kiss for you. Now get some sleep it's late" her grandmother ordered. "Ok I love you Grams…goodnight" Cara replied. "Goodnight baby I love you too" she said hanging up the phone.
A few minutes later Kari walked in the room, with that same "Cheshire-Cat" grin plastered on her face. "Listen here sweets you lay down and get a good night of sleep, because tomorrow we're going to breakfast and I want to hear everything…although you might want to get a cold shower first" Kari said cracking up. "Wow…aren't you the comedian today" Cara replied sarcastically. "Goodnight girl" Kari said turning out the lights. "Night mama" Cara replied before falling into a deep peaceful sleep.
