Part 10.
"So who's meeting us here?" Bill asked.
"I don't know." Lita answered. "But my mom promised that someone would be here." She looked around, lugging her over-sized backpack behind her.
"Amy!" A voice called out from behind them.
At once Lita spun around, and was wrapped up in a huge hug by a younger woman.
"I missed you." Lita told her, letting go and pushing the younger woman away to get a good look at her. "You'r so grown up now."
"I am eighteen." She answered, rolling her eyes. "And I see you left my birthday present behind."
"No, I've got it here." Lita told her.
"I meant Shawn Michaels." The younger woman arched her eyebrows.
"Bill, meet my little sister Elka. Elka, my boyfriend Bill."
"Bill Goldberg?" Elka's eyes widened, then she shrugged. "I guess you'll do."
"Elka!" Lita admonished her.
"I was just joking." She answered. "It's nice to meet you."
"Like wise." He replied.
"I brought mom's car with me, so there's heaps of room for you and all of your stuff." Elka told them. "We'd better go and find the rest of your luggage so that we can beat traffic."
As they drove to Lita's place, the three chatted.
"I didn't know you had a sister." Bill told Lita.
"I'm adopted." Elka told him. "Mom, dad and Amy adopted me when I was just a baby."
"That explains why the two of you look nothing alike." He said out loud.
"Have you been to Miami before?" Elka asked Bill, as they stopped at a set of traffic lights.
"I live here." He answered with a smile.
"So I needn't bother with the scenic route then?" Elka asked.
"So this is your place." Bill said to Lita as he dragged her suitcase in from the car. "It's great."
They were greeted by the sound of barking and pattering paws. "Hey Lulu." Lita bent down to pick the grey and black spaniel up and cuddle her. She turned to Bill with the dog still wrapped up in her arms.
"You know what I really want?"
"About four hours of solid sleep?" He asked with a grin.
"You know me too well."
At the restaurant Bill and Lita had chosen, they sat nervously, each worried at the prospect of meeting the other's parents.
As they sat there, both sets of parents made their way over to the table, Lita's parents with Elka in tow.
"Hello darling." Lita's father bent down to kiss her.
She reached up to hug him, then stood. "I guess we should make some introductions, then." Lita said simply.
"Mom and dad, this is Lita." Bill began.
"I'm William senior." Bill's father began, "This is my wife Alexis."
"It's nice to meet you both." Lita told them, shaking their hands, and then turning to her own parents. "Mama, dad, this is Bill."
Her father extended his hand to Bill. "Antoine Dumas, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Alejandra Dumas." Mrs. Dumas introduced herself. "This is our younger daughter Elka."
"You both have lovely names." Alexis told them, "All three of you do in fact."
"Lita isn't my real name." Lita told her as they sat down. "It's just a nickname. No one calls me Amy anymore."
"Amy is lovely too." Alexis told her.
"Thank you."
"Have we ordered yet?" Elka asked.
"We waited for everyone else to get here." Lita told her, chiding her younger sister gently.
"So what do you do Lita?" Alexis asked.
"I'm a wrestler."
"Do you enjoy it?" William asked her. "Bill does."
"It's my job, of course I enjoy it. If I didn't I wouldn't do it." Lita told them.
"It's good that you've got a job you like." Alexis told her. "How long have you been in the business?"
"A pretty long time now. I don't remember exactly, I've worked for too many different companies."
"Amy was out for fifteen months with a neck injury." Alejandra told them.
"What did you do?" William asked.
"Broke it." She replied simply.
"You broke your neck?" Alexis stared at her.
"It's fine now. I'm even competing again."
"But still, a broken neck. Doesn't that make you worried about competing again?" William asked.
"Before I was allowed to make my comeback I had every kind of test and scan done on my neck to make sure it had healed properly. I'm fine, if I wasn't, there's no way that the administration would let me get in the ring." Lita told him.
"But they let people wrestle with pulled hamstrings or torn quadriceps." He argued.
"Dad, people aren't always as badly injured as we play up to be." Bill told him.
"Like Test, I couldn't believe what he did to Scott Steiner, making everyone believe he'd done his knee, then cheating that match." Elka fumed. "He's a jerk."
"He's a heel at the moment, despite being a jerk on the best of days, that was actually scripted." Lita told her younger sister.
"He's still a jerk."
"So who's meeting us here?" Bill asked.
"I don't know." Lita answered. "But my mom promised that someone would be here." She looked around, lugging her over-sized backpack behind her.
