I took a deep breath as I handed in my exam and walked out of the room. My score on this test would determine whether or not I was about to become a Registered Nurse. I was incredibly nervous even though I had breezed through the exam.
"Hey baby, how did your exam go?" I answered my phone as I walked to my car. I was seriously considering taking up smoking. I wouldn't find out for two weeks what my final score was and I was freaking out even though I knew this stuff inside and out.
"Quickly." I huffed in to the phone. I felt breathless even though I hadn't been doing anything but sitting down in a giant hall with other students.
"Well that's a good thing isn't it? You sound awful." I can hear Colby's frown through the phone and I sigh. I should be happy that I got exam done without hanging myself from a ceiling fan.
"I'm just stressed and I miss you. When are you coming home?" I whine in to the phone and he chuckles.
"Babe, it's Friday I'll be home tonight." He laughs.
"Good." I grumble.
"Hello?"
"Rubie? Hi this is Stephanie Mc Mahon." I'm surprised to hear from my boyfriends boss and a little confused. I wonder if my travelling with him is distracting him or something.
"Hi Stephanie, to what do I owe the pleasure?" I ask curiously as I put down the bowl full of dog food for Kevin and throw the can in the trash.
"Well I've been talking to Colby for the past few weeks, he was saying that you've just finished your degree." She says. I'm now more suspicious than curious about what Colby has been saying about me. "So I thought I'd just give you a call and touch base on a few things. I'll cut to the chase, basically we're looking for a travelling nurse." I'm so glad I hadn't take a swig of my tea because it would have been all over the floor.
"I'm sorry?" I'm more than a little overwhelmed.
"As you know we have a medical staff on hand at every event and one of our nurses has just left us to start a family. So we're searching for a nurse to put in her place and I was hoping that you'd pop by my office on Monday night and have a chat to me and some executives about the role. You know just to see if it fits your qualifications and experience. Plus Colby practically begged me to hire you so he can see you everyday." She laughs and I roll my eyes.
"That sure sounds like something he'd do." I mutter in to the phone and put my cup of tea back down on the table. "I'd love to come and discuss it with you, it sounds like something that I'd be really great at. I've completed all my course work, my work experience is done and I'm just waiting for my exam results to come back in a few days." I start smiling like an idiot because that would be the best job ever.
"Fantastic if your results aren't in by Monday don't stress, I've met you before I'm quite confident that you're going to pass your exams with flying colours. The job is busy because obviously there are a lot of people on the roster but not all of them are active every night and not everyone gets injured. I'll explain more about it when I see you Monday. Have a good week alright?" She says brightly and I can tell that if I get this job I'm going to enjoy working with her. She's amazingly kind to me, she's already helped me financially and now she could possibly be offering me a job. So after I get off the phone to her I dial Colby's number to tell him that he's the best boyfriend ever.
"Hey baby," He says cooly when he answered.
"You are the best boyfriend ever." I say loudly in to the phone as I again pick up my cup of tea and walk through the kitchen and over to the living room and sit down on the couch.
"I know I am but could possibly be more specific about why I'm so amazing right now?" I asked and I just imagine his confused face which is adorable, it's almost as adorable as his concentration face when he pokes out his tongue. Which I tease him about every time we get new furniture and he has to build something.
"I just got a call from Stephanie McMahon about a nursing job." I tell him and sip on my tea.
"Fuck me she actually she called you? I thought she just said that to get me off her back." He laughed loudly in to the phone. "Did you get the job?" He asks curiously.
"I don't know yet I have to go meet with her on Monday night." I tell him. "Why didn't you ask me about this before you asked her?" I'm not mad at him but it would have been nice to have some warning before he went and started volunteering me for jobs.
"It just came up in a meeting and I just kept bringing it up. Do you know how amazing it would be to have you on the road with me all the time?" He muses in to the phone and I can hear his grin. But I can see where he's coming from and being on the road with him would be far better than staying home and working in a hospital five days a week and hardly ever seeing Colby at all.
"That would be pretty great wouldn't it?" I smile in to the phone.
"Rubie Louise, that would be the best. Have you got your results yet?" He asks.
"Nope not yet, I'm hoping they come through before Monday." I tell him and kick off my shoes and tuck my feet under my butt. "Aren't you supposed to be working?" I ask curiously.
"I've got a few minutes for the one I love." He chuckles.
"Aw you're so cute!" I coo in to the phone and he laughs loudly. "How's your day going anyway?" I ask him curiously. It's Thursday afternoon and tomorrow night is his last night on for the weekend, I'm actually quite excited because tomorrow they'll be in Iowa for a house show. It then dawns on me that he might come home later tonight.
"It's going alright now. I went to the gym with Joe this morning and kicked his ass and now I'm talking to my beautiful girlfriend." He chuckles in to the phone.
"If there's a house show in Iowa tomorrow night does that mean you're coming home tonight?" I ask him with a hopeful grin.
"Certainly does mean I'm coming home tonight. I'll be home around nine, I was thinking we get some DVD's and I'll pick up some dinner on the way home." He says and I smile. He's so considerate.
"Will you bring chocolate and ice-cream?"
"If that's what you want." He laughs. "I love you Rubie." He sighs in to the phone. "I really hope you get this job, I hate being away from you." He sighs again and I frown.
"I hope I get it too, I kind of like the idea of working with you." I giggle.
"You can stitch me up after Brock Lesnar beats me up." He says.
I laugh loudly. "You're a toss! But I did like how you casually mentioned me in your promo on Smackdown the other night."
Monday night came quicker than I had wanted it too and I had all my paper work sorted, I had passed my exams and my practical assessments with flying colours and with a little bit of sweet talking I was able to fast track my certificates so that if I was successful with the position that I was being interviewed for I could just hand over my diploma for their files. The weekend had been amazing because I had a little bit of extra time to spend with Colby because he was home for the show in Iowa.
"Are you nervous?" Colby asked as I walked out of the bathroom after doing my hair and make-up. I was so nervous for this meeting with Stephanie because this could be the start of a new career that would take me around the world with the love of my life. I was nervous, excited and downright scared!
"Incredibly nervous." I say but manage to smile at my loving boyfriend as he stands up from his seat on the bench and walked over to me and engulfs me in a warm hug. His hands run up and down my back and he kisses my cheek softly.
"You don't need to be nervous baby, you look amazing and I know you're the person for the job." He says in to my ear and instantly my nerves float away. What more could a girl ask for? This man man loves me more than I have ever been loved in my life. He tells me I'm beautiful all the time, he kisses me when I wake up in the morning and kisses me before I fall asleep. He knows what I like, he makes me laugh and most importantly he makes me happy and he believes in me.
"I love you so much Colby, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." I mumble as I lean my head against his chest and hug him tightly.
The time comes for my meeting with Stephanie so off I go to her office with a gut full of butterflies and knock on the door. Stephanie answers the door and there are there other people with her in the office. Two of the men are executives and the other man is the doctor that I'd be working with if I got the job.
Stephanie sat down and explained to me the expectations of the job, she explained that I would be working with Chris the doctor to keep all the talent healthy and happy. I would also be working with some other people with the drug testing every now and then.
They asked me all the appropriate questions regarding the job and after about half an hour of chatting and explanations Stephanie spoke. "Rubie we'd really like to offer you this position."
