The box was a bit heavy, making me wonder what was inside it. I could also smell the faint scent of leather, clothes perhaps? I sat down between Jeff and Dave and proceeded to open the box. There was no card, only another rose. This time it was red and had a black ribbon tied around its stem. Who sent this?
Inside was a pair of black leather pants with a leather vest to match it. The pants had a scythe on the sides; the vest matched it with a scythe on each side. There was a t-shirt inside as well. The back of it had a classic rendition of the Grim Reaper, with the scythe and his skeletal hand reaching out towards you. "Your time is up. Time to pay the price… with your soul!" Was on the front in bloody writing. I remember saying this! Whoever sent this knew this quote from the 80s when I first said it.
"Did one of you send this?" I asked them. They shook their heads and Jeff sorted through the box, inspecting everything inside. He had a curious look on his face, as if wondering the same thing I was. I wouldn't be surprised if Shawn or Ric cent this, maybe even Paul. I'll have to ask them; speaking of Shawn, where is he?
"Where's Shawn?" I asked Jeff.
"Jericho kicked his ass at one Night Stand, remember?" Dave replied.
Crap! How could I have forgotten about that? That would explain why I haven't seen him. He's supposed to speak next week, now that I think on it.
"Right. I remember now." I told them before I was lifted out of our booth. The box luckily was on Jeff's lap, so nothing fell.
"You better remember me Anna." Shawn's voice floated into my ears. I turned around and he enveloped me in a hug. Wait!
"You shouldn't have lifted me up! You have hurt ribs remember?!" I exclaimed at him. He smiled at me when I slapped him lightly on the chest.
"You aren't helping any by hitting me either. A little pain is worth being able to surprise you." He told me, then motioned to someone. His wife, Rebecca, walked up to us and also gave me a hug. I knew her well, ever since Shawn introduced me to her years ago. I smiled at them both, happy to see them together. Shawn and I were both honest with her and told her of our years together. Actually, I told her just two hours after Shawn did. She was fine with it, saying she trusted us both. Those years were the best; it's never a dull moment with Shawn. I could remember when we broke up too. We both were fine with just being friends, and we both thought it would be better that way. Ever since, there have been no secrets between us. If I need to talk to somebody, I talk to him first.
When he met Rebecca, I knew he was happy with her. His soul was bright, which means it is joyous and content. I was glad he found her; he said all I had to do was find someone too. Easier said than done Shawn. I asked them how they were doing and how everything was going.
"Did you two send me a new outfit for the ring?" They shook their heads and I led them around to our booth. Once they sat down, Jeff handed them the box so they could look. Rebecca was looking through it with a frown on her face, while Shawn was grinning.
"We may not have sent it to you, but it's certainly something I would have sent you!" Shawn told me, grinning even more.
"Did Paul send it?" Shawn shook his head.
"He always tells me when he is going to send you something, so he can get my opinion on it."
"Well, looks like you have a secret admirer." Dave's statement had us all wondering who actually sent it.
A/N: I've only had a few people comment about the flashback chapter, the one where we get a look into how Anna's career started. If you want them in this story or in a side story, please let me know! Please remember to review!
