[Chapter 9] Summerslam Part 2
***Aug 24th 2002***
She never left her room, so she never got to know Shawn was waiting for her first at the restaurant and then at the bar. Charly spent the most lonely night ever all on her own in her hotel room listening to her "playlist 92" and refuses to let the memories go. "I should leave, he doesn't want me to be here." she muttered to herself while starting to pack her belongings again, when it knocked on the door.
"It's open." she said as her voice cracked.
Shawn entered the room and saw Charly packing her bags again. "No, stop it." He tried to get a grip on Charly but she managed to avoid his touch.
"Just let me be, you don't want me to be here? Ok, no problem I am leaving."
"Charly, please. Stop this. I am sorry… "
"What? You made yourself very clear yesterday. So I have no intention to bother you any longer."
"Please, Charly, listen to me. Forgive me, please I was stupid."
"I really came here to watch my Nr.1, because you are still my Nr.1, but no I will not stay and listen to such assumptions you made. Just because it is easier for you."
"Charly, please, I really am sorry, I should have listened, but…."
"You know what, I am such an idiot… how could I think you maybe would be happy to see me. Maybe you would be happy to know that your son is your biggest fan. But what the heck did I think to show up after 10 years and be welcome, after what I did."
"Honey bee, you didn't do anything."
"Oh you mean now it's ok that I didn't follow you… can you please make up your mind and stick with it?"
"Please Charly don't leave. Talk to me, please."
"Why should I, you are not even willing to listen. How could I be so stupid and think I would be able to protect you from a misstake. How could I assume that you would be Shawn's safe place in case something happens to me."
"Charly, please let's sit down and talk."
"Oh, now you want to talk, oh mhh let's see Shawn….. I don't wanna talk anymore, I am done.. I am leaving you to your career as I did 10 years ago, but this time I am leaving for good. I don't know yet what to tell your son, but I will figure something out, maybe he will understand."
Shawn took his phone and made a call. Tears rolling down his face. Desperate to get help.
"Paul, please she is on the way out of the hotel, please help me stop her."
"What happened, Shawn…? Shawn?"
"Not now Paul, just help me, please."
Charly took her luggage and left the room. Made her way to the elevator and down to the lobby. " I am checking out, now!" "Uhm Miss, but you have to pay..""I know, I am checking out." " Ok, one minute. Here Miss, wishing you the best and thanks for your visit."
When Charly turned around and started her way to the entrance, first she saw Paul, then Kevin, Scott and at the end Mark joined too. They would never let her pass this door.
"Mark, please get out of my way."
"Charly, c'mon give him a chance, wasn't easy for him either the past years. Losing you, the back injury, the divorce and now…"
"Mark, just let me go. I can't help anymore."
"CHARLY….NO!."
She heard Shawn screaming through the hotel lobby. As she turned around, she saw him, the great HBK sunk down on his knees in the midst of the lobby, crying and begging her to stay.
"Charly… please … stay.. I… I love you. Always did…. still do… please, don't go."
Charly watched him sinking on his knees, helpless looking to Paul and the others…
"Charly go… go to him.." Mark said.
Charly left her bags behind, running back to Shawn, sinking on her knees in front of him. She couldn't help, she had to kiss him, could bear seeing him like this.
"I.. l love you too babe, never stopped." She whispered softly in his ear, she kissed him again, her lips settled softly down on his slowly parted them and let her tongue softly slid into his mouth, he answered the kiss, he pulled her close and held her tight as if he would never let go of her again.
"Let's see if I can get my room back."
"No.. you are staying with me."
The guys had closed up to Charly and Shawn. "Take him, go… we take care of this." Kevin said and looked at her luggage. "Thanks, Kevin." Charly took Shawn and they made their way back, but this time to Shawn's room.
"Babe, let's go."
Back in Shawn's hotel room, Shawn crashed down on the couch, still sobbing. Charly took a seat beside him, kissed him gently on the cheek. Shawn looked questioningly at Charly, then on her shoulder, stroke as gently as possible over her scar.
"What happened?" he asked her.
"Oh, this? uhm… yeah… where shall I start…" Then she started to explain to Shawn. " Yeah and I ended up, with a replacement of the shoulder and the hip, as a fused neck and lower back… " As she looked at him, she saw how angry he had become.
"If I should get a grip on this guy, he will wish that he never would have touched you."
"You won't, he is in prison and he will stay there."
"Honey bee? Do you think it's possible you can forgive me one day?"
"I already have, I just can't be angry with my Sexy Boy."
It knocks on the door. "Come in, it's open." Charly called.
Shawn was still sitting on the couch. The guys came in and gave Charly the luggage.
P: "What's up, Shawn?"
"This was really last minute."
M: "And what are the two of doing now?"
"Do you really think I will let her go again? No I will not, we will work this out"
K:"Eh boddy, lunchtime. Are you coming?" Sound ironically, cause Kevin knew that Shawn surely will not come and have lunch with guys.
"Do you really think? No, we will have our own lunchtime up here. Let's see where it leads us."
P:"Seeing the two of you tonight?"
"Yeah, for sure." Charly answered before Shawn even could say something.
"Charly?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't want to go, I want to be with you, here."
"Oh no babe, we are going tonight and we will have some fun."
Shawn smiled as Charly gave him that look .. we will not sit here like an old couple.
As they went to the party later that evening, Charly directly left a message to the DJ. She grabbed Shawn's hand and dragged him on the dance floor. Charly made this party a memory celebration, except from the karaoke show. As 10 years ago when their final song started, she pulled Shawn in her arms and started to dance.
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
She couldn't keep it back any longer and whispered in his ear " I love you, Sexy Boy." Shawn wrapped his arms around her and smiled. As they left the party, Charly was in a highly funny mood, ok a little drunk maybe but happy.
Finally arrived in the hotel room, Charly started to pull off Shawn's clothes.
"WOW, someone here is really impatient." Shawn said surprised. But he couldn't keep it back and started to pull off Charly's clothes.
"Shut up and fuck me instead, Sexy Boy." Charly encouraged Shawn to speed up a little.
"As you wish Honey bee." He laughed, lifted her up and carried her over to the bed. As he lowered himself Charly groaned into his kiss, when his lips were crashing down on hers.
Her tongue parted his lips, his mouth opened up and her tongue slid in teasing his. He moaned as she teased his chest with her nails.
"Take me, now please…. Shawn… please…"She looked at him pinning his eyes.
"Honey bee..let me take care of you" He said while lowering himself between her thighs and buried his hardness in her with one hard and deep thrust.
"Shawn… Oww baby..." Charly groaned as Shawn took her,hard and deep.
Her hips met his, encouraging him to thrust harder and faster.
"Yeah, Honey show me..." Shawn had to move faster as his own body demanded release.
"Honey wanna cum? With me?" Shawn whispered in her ear.
"Yess…" She wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed her hips harder against his, she trembled as she climaxed.
[Shawn .. POV]
I looked down at the woman in arms, I was more than lucky today. Will be the perfect day tomorrow to wake up beside my beauty.
[Charly .. POV]
I love you. My last thought before drifting into dreamland.
*** Aug 25th 2002***
[The Match]
Charly was sitting ringside, as she promised Shawn, nearby JR and Jerry at the commentators table when put on the video to go through the rivalry between those former best friends. Charly had goosebumps not because it was Summerslam, no because she was afraid, afraid something would happen to her Sexy Boy. Memories came up, memories of the moment she saw Shawn hitting this corner of the casket. And then in March 1998 her guy was gone. Since this moment 1609 days have passed where Shawn hasn't wrestled officially, and Charly couldn't be more nervous or anxious then that.
Then Shawn's music hit and he made his entrance. Between glitter and pyro Shawn entered the ramp down to the ring. In jeans, cowboy boots and a shirt (Philippians 4:13). Charly felt the same butterflies as she did 10 years ago, my guy, my man, my Sexy Boy. First he was just standing between all the pyro and as he entered the ramp the crowd was going absolutely nuts. On his way to the ring he showed off as there had never been a break. Before he entered the ring he came by Charly, placed a kiss on her lips, whispered I love you and then he went through the first and second rope to show off in the ring as he used to do back then. It was a Street fight match, un-sanctioned. Oh boy hopefully nothing happens.
You really could see how much this meant to him, to be up there, in one of the corners and taking the crowd's reaction in, you could see how much he missed this and how much he loved this. Then Hunter's music hit as Hunter made his way to the ring, you could see the anger, the hate in his eyes, the eager plan to put Charly man into a wheelchair and finishing him off once and for all.
Shawn stands in the corner while Hunter enters the ring, his shirt in the right hand walking up to Hunter just to throw him the shirt in the face and starting to attack him with punches against Hunter's head. Pushing Hunter back in the corner where he placed a kick in Shawns stomach, which broke Shawn's attack and made it possible for "The Game" to throw Shawn out of the ring. But Shawn was as quick as always, back through the second and third rope just to attack "The Game '' with a shoulder block
And again punches against Hunter's head. After a shoulder block by Hunter both hitting the ropes several times back and forth before Shawn sent "The Game" out of the ring. A body slam from Shawn to outside of the ring and again several punches against Hunter's head. Hunter's knee in Shawn's stomach broke the attack and "The Game"planned to push Shawn into the steel stairs, but Shawn blocked the attack and Hunter went into ringpost instead. A closeline sending Hunter down on the ground.
Shawn searches under the ring for something, taking out a trash can and attacking Hunter with the lock. This attack was broken by Hunter due to Hunter's knee again hitting Shawn's stomach, lifting him up and bouncing Shawn into the security wall. Back in the ring "The Game" goes down first by a closeline, just to get hit by a trash can. Shawn then jumps from the top rope hitting down Hunter. Then there it came for the first time. Shawn clapses two times on his leg asking the crowd and putting himself in a corner to start "to tune up the band" for a sweet chin music, but Shawn is missing. Instead Hunter is catching him and lifting up just to give him a backbreaker.
Charly looks shocked as Shawn as he is writhe in pain in the ring. Hunter is giving Shawn a second backbreaker. The crowd was cheering for her Sexy boy. She was nearly crying, afraid that there will be damage not to repair.
But Hunter shows no mercy sending him back first into the turnbuckles and Shawn going down to knees. Sending several elbow drops on his back, he goes for the pin but Shawn kicks out on two. After a hit with a steel chair Hunters goes for the pin again and again Shawn kicks out at two. Pulling Hunter in to ropes Shawn puts a roll on and goes for the pin himself, but "The Game" kicks out on two.
***Time Jump to last minutes***
The crowd is cheering "Holy shit" as they watch Shawn deliver an elbow drop on Hunter lying on a table. Shawn takes the ladder back into the ring putting the ladder up and climbing to the top. He then looks around and gives the crowd a "I love each of you" and puts another elbow drop on Hunter's chest. Shawn takes his position in the corner and starts again to tune up "the band" for Sweet Chin Music, but when he wants to apply his misses Hunter. Hunter takes Shawn between his thighs and prepares for a pedigree but Shawn manages to roll Hunter up and goes for the pin. Earl Heppner counts 1… ; 2…; 3… and Shawn goes out as winner and his music starts.
While celebrating his win in the ring together with the crowd, Hunter is reaching for the Hammer , he smashes the Hammer once in Shawn's back to leave the ring with an evil smile. Charly as she already is a wreck, runs screaming into the ring and puts herself between Shawn and Hunter. Only to scream at Hunter: "C'mon Hunter hit me, but you will not hit him again. If you want to, you have to pass me first." Charly doesn't leave Shawn's side until they pass the curtain.
"For heaven's sake, check him out" Charly, still screaming, doesn't look at Shawn. Shawn was slowly sitting up and smiling at his lady, while she was on the way to going nuts. "Hi Paul, great work." Shawn is still smiling, thanking Paul for the amazing match. "What the heck are you doing here?" Charly shouting angry as hell on Paul. "Babe, Honey, everything is fine." Shawn tried to calm her down. " And I thought you're his friend?" Charly yelling at Paul. "Honey bee, everything is fine, you know the matches are scripted, you know that." " Shawn I would say the storyline works, when even your girl is going nuts." Paul couldn't help and started to laugh. "I told you it works, but I didn't guess that it would like that." Shawn said and smiled at Charly.
"You got me, both, ahh.." Charly smiling at Shawn punched Paul in the chest. She wrapped her arms around her man, "Welcome back Sexy Boy, I love you." Shawn looked into her eyes, pulled her close to him and before he settled his lips in a passionate kiss on hers, he whispered " I love you too."
