Shawn sat home the next Monday getting ready to watch Nitro. He couldn't stop thinking about Whisper that whole week. He knew it was a school boy crush but she was so beautiful that he just couldn't stop thinking about her. That night he watched intently to see her. At one point he spotted her during a group dance and couldn't help the smile that formed over his face.

Every Monday for a month he watched Nitro intently so that he could see her. One morning his friend Rich Minzer called. Rich worked at Gold's Gym in Venice that Shawn frequently visited while in California. Shawn had previously told him about the woman on Nitro that he had seen.

"Hey Shawn it's Rich"

"Hey Rich, how is everything going?"

"Good and yourself?"

"Pretty good. My back is getting better slowly but surely."

"That is good to hear Shawn. Guess what? Guess who is out here?"

"I don't know. Who?"

"WCW."

"Good, tell Kevin and Scott I say hi."

"No, Shawn you don't understand. The Nitro Girls are here. Whisper is here."

"Get out man! You must be joking."

"Not at all, Shawn the TV doesn't do her justice. She is twice as beautiful in person."

"No way!"

"Yes way! Can I tell her you like her?"

"No, don't tell her I saw her on TV, she'll think I'm an idiot man!"

"I'll ask her if she'll give me her phone number for you."

"No are you kidding me?"

"Well, Shawn, wouldn't you like to try to meet her?"

"Yeah, but what are you going to do, tell her this guy saw her on TV? You will freak her out. Please don't say anything."

"Ok man, whatever you say."

"Thanks Rich."

"Yeah sure."

Shawn hung up feeling ok about the situation. However, unbeknownst to Shawn, Rich went and had a talk with another Nitro Girl. Her name was Spice and Rich told her all about the conversation between Shawn and himself. She thought the whole thing was adorable so she told Rich that they should convince Whisper to give him her number to give to Shawn. The pair walked up to Whisper and Rich introduced himself.

"Hello my name is Rich. I work here."

"Hello Rich, I'm Rebecca, but everyone knows me as Whisper."

"It's nice to meet you madam."

"Thank you, it is nice to meet you too."

The trio began to talk quietly about the situation. Rebecca hadn't dated in a while. She graduated college with a 4.0 gpa and immediately got into the dance scene with Nitro. Her schedule was so busy that she didn't have time to date. She figured giving her number to Rich for this Shawn guy was fine. "Why not?" she though. "If it's meant to be, something will happen."

Rich called Shawn the following morning with a smile plastered on his face.

"Shawn I have a surprise for you."

"What did you do Rich?"

"Whisper gave me her number."

"No man you didn't tell her what I told you not to did you?"

"No, I talked to Spice, another one of the Nitro Girls and then talked to her."

"Ok… I guess."

"Don't worry Shawn. Just call her and see what happens. Her number is 956-258-1469."

"Ok man, I will try."

"Her name is Rebecca by the way and she is not a wrestling fan so she doesn't know who you are."

"Is that a good or bad thing?"

"Good because if she likes you it won't be for the celebrity status, it will be for you."

"Good point. Ok man, thanks."

"No problem, see you later Shawn."

"Bye Rich."

Shawn hung up the phone and stared at the number that he had written down. He thought long and hard about calling her but couldn't bring himself to actually call her. "If she doesn't know who I am, then I have nothing" he thought. He couldn't even try to pick up the phone. "I don't know what I would say to her. I have nothing to use at all without wrestling."

A few days went by and he still hadn't called her. Rich called him back to see if he had even though he knew from a message on his answering machine that he hadn't.

"Shawn it's Rich."

"Hey buddy."

"Did you call Rebecca?"

"No…"

"Why not man? Seriously? I can't believe this!"

"Rich, I don't know what to say to her."

"Ugh Shawn you need to listen to this message that I received from Rebecca."

Rich placed the phone next to the answering machine and played the message.

"Hey Rich, it's Rebecca. Thanks for taking care of us out in LA. I just wanted to let you know Shawn didn't call. I appreciate you thinking about me in that respect. I guess it's not meant to be."

Shawn sat on his end of the line stunned. He knew he had to call at that moment. He didn't want to waste the opportunity.

"I need to go Rich, there is something that I have to do."

"Ok Shawn, good luck and talk to you soon."

The two hung up and Shawn immediately dialed Rebecca's number. "Oh man, I hope she's not home" he thought. He was so nervous that his whole body was shaking. The phone rang four times and much to his relief, the answering machine picked up.

"Hey, this is Rebecca. I'm not home right now so leave a message and I will get back to you soon! Thanks."

"Hey Rebecca, this is Rich's friend, Shawn. I would really love to talk to you. If you want give me a call back. My number is 546-876-9865."

He hung up the phone and sighed in relief. He was so nervous that by the time he had hung up he was sweating a little bit. He went for a swim to take his mind off of everything. When he finished he came back inside and took a shower then changed into his pajama pants. He was watching a movie that night when the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi Shawn?"

"Yes this is Shawn."

"Hi, this is Rebecca."

"Hey thank you for calling me back."

"Thank you for calling me first."

The pair continued to talk for hours that night. Shawn the whole time could not stop smiling. He fell asleep after the pair hung up and slept soundly dreaming about her.
