Angel's Light II
The next morning Molly awoke in a wonderful mood, even for her. And the reason for that lay, still sleeping, next to her.
***********************************************
She had been attracted to Kane from the time she had first entered the WWF, he had an incredible body and awesome strength, yet at the same time he possessed a gentle heart and caring spirit. She had been certain that there was no way that he could have feelings for her, however. He was one of the top wrestlers in the WWF and, she had assumed, must have had lots of more experienced women after him. She was just some wet-behind-the-ears newbie.
She had been thrilled to find out that Lita, who had gone out of her way to befriend Molly, was also good friends with Kane. Molly had constantly begged Lita for information about Kane...what was he really like, what were his favorite foods, hobbies, anything she could think of to ask. And Lita, for her part, answered all Molly's questions with incredible patience. From time to time she would try to encourage Molly to tell Kane how she felt, but Molly just couldn't muster the courage to do so.
Molly hadn't realized at the time that Kane had been asking Lita the same questions about Molly. He too, however, ignored Lita's urgings to tell Molly his true feelings. Finally Lita had gotten sick of it, and had devised a deviously simple plan for getting the two together.
She had made a breakfast date with Kane for eight am one Monday morning. She had asked Molly to join her for breakfast that same day, at the same restaurant, at eight fifteen. When she and Kane had gotten to the restaurant she had picked a two-person table facing the door. Thus, her seat would have a clear view of the entry while Kane would have his back to it.
She and Kane had engaged in idle conversation as they ate, until Lita saw Molly come in. When Molly had gotten within hearing range, Lita had asked Kane, "So when are you going to grow a set and ask Molly out on a date?"
Molly had frozen, glaring at Lita from behind Kane's back. Kane, still oblivious to Molly's presence, answered, "I've told you, Lita, there's no point." The weariness in his voice had jerked at Molly heart, and her gaze flew to the back of his bowed head, "She's talented, beautiful...she deserves someone like Jeff...not some freak of nature like me."
To hear Kane talk about himself so derogatorily had made Molly's blood boil. Not even thinking, she had rushed up behind Kane, placed her little hand on his shoulder, and demanded, "What do you mean, some freak of nature? I'll have you know that I think you are the most handsome man in the WWF!" Then, deciding that as she had already come this far she might as well go for broke, she continued, "and as far as deciding who I deserve to be with, I think I am quite capable of making my own decisions, thank you. And I've decided on you."
Then what she had just said and done hit her, and she turned and made to leave the restaurant. Kane, however, had had other ideas. Reaching out quickly, he had gently but firmly grabbed her arm. Molly couldn't bear to look at him, too embarrassed over what she had said, and instead fixed her gaze on his hand.
"Molly," Kane had begun hesitantly, still not quite believing what he had heard with his own ears. "Umm...would you like to...I mean, that is...err..."
"Oh for heaven's sake, Kane," Lita had broken in, "would you just ask her out already! She's going to say yes!"
Looking into Lita's encouraging face, Kane had finally taken a deep breath and blurted out, "MollywouldyouliketogooutwithmethisFridaynight?"
Molly had ceased her efforts to worm out of Kane's grasp and had finally brought her eyes up to meet his own uncertain ones. Then she, too, had looked over to Lita, who told her, "Go on already, girl."
She looked back at Kane and said, "I would love to."
All three of them then burst out in huge, goofy grins...none bigger than Lita's. "Finally," she had said with relief, "I was getting sick of listening to the two of you pine over each other. Now, if you'll excuse me, I promised Matt I'd have breakfast with him." Then she got up and made her way out of the restaurant, leaving Kane and Molly to their own devices.
***********************************************
Molly still couldn't help but smile as she thought about she and Kane's first tentative steps towards a relationship. What had blossomed had been far more rewarding than either of them had ever hoped for.
Molly glanced over at the clock and realized, much to her dismay, that the alarm would be going off in a couple minutes. They would need to get up and start getting ready to head to the airport if they were going to make their flight to the next venue.
She got out of the bed, shivering as the cooler air of the room hit her, and went over to the alarm clock. After turning it off she went back to the bed and leaned over Kane, giving him a light, teasing kiss. "Come on, lover," she said, "time to get up."
Kane didn't budge.
Somewhat concerned, she had shaken Kane's shoulder and once more told him to get up. Still, Kane didn't respond. Now deathly worried, Molly had reached a tentative, shaking hand to Kane's neck and searched for a pulse.
When she felt the steady beat beneath her fingers she slumped in relief. Worry still ate at her mind, though, for Kane had yet to move. Not knowing what else to do, Molly reached for the phone and called Lita's room.
"mmlow..." greeted Molly when the other end was picked up.
"Lita?" Molly had asked, her anxiety building.
"un mnit," the voice replied.
Finally Lita's familiar voice had come over the line, "The world had better be ending," she grumbled, never a morning person.
"Lita, it's Molly," Molly had blurted out, "you've gotta help me. There's something wrong with Kane. He's breathing and has a pulse and everything but I can't wake him up. I've tried everything. Please, Lita, I don't know what to do."
This news jolted Lita awake as little else would have. "Hang on," she told her friend, "I'll be right there. In the meantime, you'd better call 911 and get some professionals there."
"Right, thanks Lita" Molly said as she hung up the phone, grateful that someone could think straight. All she could think of was how Kane was just lying there on the bed...not moving...she shook her head to rid it of the negative thoughts that were invading it. Picking up the phone again, she dialed 911 and gave the operator all the information she asked for.
The next morning Molly awoke in a wonderful mood, even for her. And the reason for that lay, still sleeping, next to her.
