Chapter 7
After kissing Jeff goodnight, Shane and Terri walked slowly back to Matt's just enjoying the quiet time together. They took a moonlight swim together once they returned and then laid in the living room talking quietly to each other.
"So are you excited about Friday?" Shane asked, referring to her first day with the WWE.
"More nervous I think. I mean I've been working so hard for so long, but what if I am not good enough, Shane? Then what?"
It was the first time all day that she had seemed unsure about anything, especially herself, it caught him off guard! "What do you mean, not good enough? Where did that come from?" he asked as he put his arm around her to comfort her, he was surprised to find that she was shaking. "Baby, what's wrong?" he asked quietly.
"I am sorry Shane, I don't want to ruin the great day we have had together." She replied in a shaky voice.
"Terri, please tell me what's wrong." He said as he pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her.
"My last relationship wasn't the most healthy. My boyfriend was abusive, both physically and mentally. He wasn't very supportive of my wrestling, actually he wasn't very supportive of anything I did. I guess when you hear you are worthless enough times, you begin to believe it!"
He couldn't believe what he was hearing, for 2 reasons. One Terri seemed like too strong and confidant a woman to tolerate that kind of treatment, and two because it was like he was describing the way Kathy had treated him. "How long did you stay?" he asked at last.
"Too long. Almost 2 years. It took one final beating where he broke my nose and my wrist before I finally got up the nerve to leave. That was six months ago, but I still can't shake all of the old feelings and habits." She couldn't believe that she was telling all this to Shane, she hadn't told anyone what she went through with Tom, but she had a sense that he understood, and it felt so good to be in his arms, she thought as she snuggled closer.
"Terri, do you trust me?" He asked. When he felt her nod he said, "Then listen when I say that you are smart, funny, beautiful..you are so much more than good enough!"
He felt her relax in his arms, he looked down at her and saw the tears in her eyes. He leaned down to kiss her and felt her move to meet his kiss. When their lips met it was like an electric shock went through them both. It was strong enough to make Terri's eyes pop open, she had never had that feeling from a kiss.
It started as a soft, gentle kiss, they both pulled away and gazed into each others eyes, and for a brief moment time seemed to stop, and in that instant they both felt the connection between them.
They leaned in and shared a deeper, more passionate kiss; it was what they both needed!
When the kiss was over Terri snuggled close to Shane. "Thank you Shane. Would you mind if I slept down here with you tonight? And if it isn't too much to ask, would you hold me for awhile?"
"I wouldn't have it any other way beautiful." He replied. He reached over and grabbed the blanket to cover them, laid down and gathered Terri to him, kissing the top of her head in the process.
"You really are my superhero!" Terri said sleepily.
The both fell asleep in a matter of minutes. Terri feeling safer than she had in a long time and Shane falling for the woman in his arms!
