The girls were in the gym working out and talking about everything as they all caught up with each other Leila was on the treadmill getting her cardio in. She plugged in her headphones and seem to melt away. Her mind raced with all the thoughts of what happened last night and what it meant. Finally, her brain started to settle down and she zoned out and ran her 5 miles. Trish was keeping pace with Leila as they ran side by side. Trish was a bit amazed that Leila was keeping a steady pace as she finished mile after mile. Leila finally started to wine down to a slow jog and then walk. She took off her headphones.
"That was enjoyable," Trish said to her with a small chuckle.
"Sorry, I was not planning a long run, but once I started to zone out it was nice."
"Yeah, you must have had a lot on your mind."
"Yeah I do"
"Want to share some?"
"A lot of it surprising has to do with the Mark" She paused
"I saw the scene last night. That was risky, but it seems to be done with tastefully and also with emotions."
"Yeah, well there was a lot of emotions there." She paused again and spoke softly "A lot of people don't know that Mark and I know each other very well before he got famous."
"Really? He never said anything"
"We dated for years... the only reason that we broke apart was that he was leaving for wrestling camp" She pressed the button to finally stop the machine. " He broke up with me and it was not done in the nicest way"
"I heard that story from a few of the guys," Stacey said joining the conversation.
"I am surprised he told anyone" Leila got off the treadmill and started to wipe it down.
"Any breakup is not good. It is always hard on one or both parties." Trish said
"Yeah and the breakup and how he mocked that I felt that he and I were in a relationship was what hurt so much that when I got paired with him made it even worst. I remember everything that we use to do and expect to turn it on and off here."
"Why do that?' Stacey asked "I think you two just need some hard, kinky, fifthly sex" Leila started to laugh at Stacey and knew that would be his answer either way.
"That is not the way to settle everything," Trish said, "I think to talk to him about it honestly open and see where that takes you"
"Your both right," She said " Well, I got to get going since I have to get to the next city to have 2 more autograph sessions. See you girls in the next city." Leila walked out of the gym and went back into her hotel room to take a shower and get ready to leave.
Glen and Mark chatted as they finished breakfast. "Did you see Leila today?" Glen finally asked
"No, I am not sure what to say to her after yesterday" He paused
"Well are you two a couple again?"
"Why would we be a couple again?" Mark asked and Glen started to laugh at him.
"Your not innocent and I know it... if not everyone in that wing" Mark stopped even chewing the food in his mouth. "Look, I am not going to say it in front of Leila, but it was the best outcome to what the position you two were put in."
"Yeah," Mark said and began to chew his food finishing his breakfast. "I guess I should find her to make sure she is ready for the flight. The three of us are linked together for a while and now the flights and rooms are matching so it will be easier."
"Good" Glen paused "If you're going to go find Leila I would try the gym she tries to get a workout before leaving normally"
"Thanks" He paused and realized he did not know the new Leila as much as he thought. Mark walked into the gym and the girls were in there talking and bouncing around. "Hello, ladies. Was Leila down here already?"
"Oh yeah," Trish said " She ran a nice 5 miles. Her pace was nice and I could keep up. She said she was going to go clean up and get ready to leave."
"Thanks, how long ago was that?"
"About 15 minutes," Trish said " Hey Mark... I think you should be back with Leila. She is a good girl"
"Yeah tell me about it," He said and turned and walked out of the gym and headed to Leila's room. He got to the room and knocked on the door. He did not hear anything and knocked again. Finally, he heard the door start to unlatch. Leila stood at the door with her wet hair dripping on the towel that was wrapped around her.
"I am not running late. Did the flight get change?" She looked at him with her brown eyes big and innocently looking at him.
"Can I come in?" He asked and Leila stepped aside to let him in. She closed the door behind him. She held onto the towel as she walked around him back into the bathroom to dry off. She closed the door a bit so that she had privacy yet they could talk.
"So, what is going on?" She asked him as he peak through the door
"I wanted to talk about last night" He paused and noticed that Leila froze in the bathroom not moving as she waited for what he was going to say next. "What Vince did was inappropriate, but I believe it helped us a bit."
"How did that help?" She questioned as she slowly starting to move again in the bathroom. Mark peaked in and seen that she put on matching bra and panties as she moved to the mirror and put her hair up in messy bun curls falling down the sides.
"I want to be back with you" He just spilled it out and she opened the door and stood in front of him in her bra and panties. She looked at him her eyes lost unsure what to say to him.
"I- Um-" She tried to get words out, but couldn't.
"I am not asking to jump right back to the way we were. I know you grew up and I have to learn all about you again, but I want too." He said and she looked at him studying a bit on what he was asking.
"I would like that," She said to him and he pulled her close and kissed her forehead.
Leila grabbed her bags out of the back of the car and started to walk into the airport to start getting ready for her flight. She stood in line and checked her self and her bags in. She took her to carry on and purse with her as she walked to the waiting area. She looked around for Mark and Glen and finally spotted them.
"Leila!" Glen called to her and waved her down. Mark turned around to see her coming at them and smiled.
"Sorry it took a little longer than normal for the car to be taken back" She paused and Glen hugged her and then Mark. "Well, this should be fun since, after all, I have not traveled with anyone since I started."
"Oh yeah, tons of fun" Glen made big eyes and laughed at her.
The three of them tried to make their way to the waiting area with little success as they got stopped several times for photos. The three of them started to do a pose now that Mark would stand on the right side of Leila and Glen on her left side. She would slide her leg up a little on Mark and place her head on his chest with her left hand. Glen would be tight up against Leila her bottom in front of his legs. The pose seems to be the best for everyone in the picture and of course, it allowed the fans to have every photo they would like. Mark and Leila cuddling like a couple and Glen being the protective brother. Leila heard the announcement over the speakers for their flight.
"We are going to late!" Leila said and turned to the fans "I am so sorry, but we are going to miss our flight." She excused the group and she picked up her bag and purse. She looked over at Mark and smiled "I am not sure if you can run, but right now might be a good practice"
"Your a brat," He said playfully and with that Leila was off. She ran down the airport hallways as she turned back a few times to see both Mark and Glen trying to keep up. She stopped at the check-in and quickly checked in and told the assistant that the two big men were with her.
"You both need cardio work" Leila giggled as they checked in and she started to walk into the boarding tunnel. The three of them got into the airplane and of course, someone spotted them. Leila sat at the window seat so the guys could just slide in. Glen sat down next Leila and then Mark on the aisle seat. Once the plane was up in the air and people started to move around. A man walked over to the group.
"I am sure you guys are extremely busy and tired, but would you mind," He asked and handed the group a magazine with a marker. Each one signed it as they talk to him for a bit. Leila kept looking out the window watching the clouds and blue sky passing them by.
"What are you thinking?" Glen asked softly
"There is always blue sky even in the darkness," She said and smiled at him and he smiled at her.
"Yes, you are right" He paused "Remember that... life on the road can be hard." She smiled and placed her head on the window and quickly fell asleep. Mark looked over and see that Leila was asleep and tried to pull his hat over his eyes to get some sleep too which did not last too long.
"Sir" A female voice interrupted him
"Yes," He asked and he did not move at all
"We are about to land can you sleep buckle up?"
"Sure," He said and put his hat back on and rubbed his eyes. He looked over at the other two still asleep. He shook Glen and reached over to touch Leila who woke up in an instance. He could tell she was on edge and didn't get good sleep. "Buckle up we are almost there," He said and they did slowly.
"How long was I sleeping?"
"I am sure, not long," Glen said and yawned. Leila laid her head on Glen's shoulder.
"Can I ask for a few more minutes" She joked and Glen just pushed her hair to the side rubbing her head. Mark watched how the two of them interacted. They acted like brother and sister laughing with each other and just enjoying the company.
Leila wore a cute little black skirt with a low cut black gem top as she waited in the lobby for the guys to meet her to go to the autograph session. Mark and Glen showed up and Leila smile as the group got together and then made their way to the autograph session. Glen noticed that the dynamics of the group had changed a bit. Leila and Mark were not
at each other throats. He was not sure if it was since they both got their frustration out or if this is how they act when they know they are on the same team. Either way, he was happy with it and wanted to enjoy the moment as it was.
The autograph session started out just like any other one that they had. The house music was playing Leila was dancing around. The line up was Leila, Mark and then Glen. Leila enjoys being the first one because she could talk to the fans and pick their brains before they just went on their way. There was a line of people waiting as Leila finished speaking to the one fan. A female fan came walking up to the table.
"Hi, How are you?' Leila said with a big smile and the female smiled back "Please pick which photo you will like" Leila said and waited "Its been a busy day here today. Thank you for waiting so patiently" The fan did not respond. Leila wiggled the marker in her hand like she normally did when she began to get nervous. The fan handed over the photo that she chooses. "You're very quiet. Who should I make it out too?" Leila asked and with that, the fan hocked a big loogie on her face.
"You're a fucking slut!" The fan screamed and Leila went to go after her. The loogie running down her side of her face and in her hair. Mark grabbed onto Leila and stopped her from going over the table after the woman. "You should be a shame of yourself! Flaunting what God gave you in front of millions of people! What example are you showing our daughters?!"
"An example!" Leila started to yell back at the woman and Mark pulled her hand and shook his head 'no'. She kept quiet and Glen stood up and got some paper towels to clean her up. "Security get her out of here!" Leila screamed in frustration and stormed off Glen following her knowing there was damage control to do behind the fans. "She fucking spit on me!" She yelled behind the curtain.
"Lower your voice. Its wrong we all know that but lets clean you up and finish this up" Glen said and took a paper towel and wet it with some water and started to clean it out of her hair as she cleaned it from her face.
"I am not a whore" Leila finally said after a few moments of silence between the two of them.
"I don't think you are." He said and stopped and looked at her "There is going to be plenty of people with opinions good and bad that want you to listen to them" He paused "Some people just need to learn how to express them." Leila listens to Glen. She enjoyed his words of wisdom when he spoke to her. He was an unbiased opinion of everything and always allowed her to make her own decision, and she loved that about him. "Come on you look good," He said giving her a hug and the two walked back.
"All better?" Mark whispered into her ear and she nodded yes and sat back down. This time between the two guys. The rest of the autograph session continued as she tried to enjoy her self.
Leila danced around the back a bit as she asked the guys"Can we get some food before we go to the meeting?"
"Yes," Glen said and he looked at Mark.
"I am not opposed, but we are not sitting down it is going to be a fast drive through," Mark said to them and it was agreed.
The group pulled up to the fast food restaurant and the drive-through had a line out the door. "I will go in," Leila said before anyone decided to change the idea.
"Don't be long we have to get to the meeting with Vince?" Mark said and looked at Glen as Leila closed the door. "I don't think this is going to go well"
"Yeah me either she will end up chatting or having the whole place wanting pictures"
"I am giving her 5 minutes and then I am going in," Mark said and leaned in the head back. The two started to chat as they watching the people. "That is it. I am going in" Mark walked into the restaurant and there was Leila having men googling all over. "Leila lets go!" Mark called and everyone turned around to look at them.
"Sorry, duties calls" She giggled as she took her bags of food and headed towards Mark. Mark held the door open and she passed underneath and Mark took the opportunity to smack her butt with delight. He knew that everyone in the restaurant was watching them. She brought the food back to the car and started to feed Glen as he drove. "Thank you for stopping. I was getting so hungry."
"Yes and hungry for attention," Mark said to her and Glen started to laugh.
"I doubt that she needs more attention."
"I could tell you what attention I want..." She said softly enough that she knew that Mark heard what she said as he smirked. Leila laid her head against the window as they made their way to the meeting.
The three of them started to walk into the office as Mark placed his arm around Leila's back and landed against her hip. Glen noticed the two but did not say anything to the two of them. He wanted to see if they would start showing more of a relationship then what they were before. They sat down in the office as they waited for Vince to come in. Leila laid her head against Mark's shoulder.
"Thanks for waiting," Vince said as he walked in and sat down in front of the group. Leila sat up straight in the chair "So, first thing first. I need all of you to get new pictures. I wanted several types taken." He said looking up from the papers on his desk "Mark please have patience and allow the photographer to do what they get paid to do." He shook his head and looked back down at the paper. "Halloween is only a week away and there is a taping the same day. So, you need to all show up for the taping. I will let you know what is going to happen that night. After the taping WWE is going to have a party and open to the public. I want the three of you to be in the lobby for a small autograph or more greet session and then roam around the party and the fans."
"Security is going to be higher than normal since there will be alcohol?" Mark asked an honest question about such an event.
"Yes there will be marked and unmarked security in the club, but as always don't lose control," Vince said. There was silence between the group and Vince."I am surprised" Vince finally said and looked at the group "I was expecting you all to fight back."
"No," Glen said "We understand, but once Halloween event is over. Can we have some time off?" Glen wanted time to just relax and not run place to place. Leila started thinking sometime off sounds like a good idea. Leila looked up at Glen and then at Vince as she waited for his response.
"Deal," Vince said and stood up sticking out his hand and Glen stood and shook it and Leila and Mark followed Glens lead. The three of them then left Vince's office.
"That was a good idea," Mark said and patted Glen's shoulder and then placed his hand out to Leila to take it and she did and Glen smiled at the two of them.
