Shane's birthday party was a surprise, I was to get Shane to the venue, the McMahon estate. That was easy, I told him we were having dinner with his parents. Marissa had stayed away from us, she avoided us at work. I went to every television recording, editing and hanging out with Shane. I love travelling with the Federation, it's fun and chaotic. Our relationship became very public to the company and friends. I had invited Sev, Paris, Becki and Charlotte to celebrate his birthday. I wanted my friends to see how right Shane and I are, I was hoping they'd accept it.
Shane drove the car into the driveway of the estate and looked at me.
"Kara, why are we here?" he asked.
"Because my darling, we are having dinner with your parents."
"As if." he retorted. "I know what your up to."
"You do?" I questioned.
"Yes, you and my mother have planned a surprise party for me. Do you deny that Ms. Maddox?"
"Act surprised."
"I can manage that." he replied getting out of the car. Inside waiting for us was Vince and Linda.
"Hello." they said opening the door.
"Hi Mom, Dad." Shane said normally.
"Hello." I replied
"Come on through then." Linda said as Vince took our coats. She showed us through to the dining room, where everyone jumped out at us. Shane feigned suprise very well and high fived the posse and the Hardyz. I kissed his cheek and went over to see my friends.
"Hey guys." I greeted.
"Hi Kara. Wow, you and Shane are official then?" Becki asked smiling. I cast my eyes back to Shane who was laughing.
"Yeah."
"Wow, little miss 'I hate men' is now involved with Shane O Mac. Girl, you get all
the luck." Paris said
"Hey, you and Sevvy have got the Hardy boyz haven't you. Which leaves the two of you." I said turning to Becki and Charlotte.
"Oh no, no way. No Kara you're not setting me up with a wrestler." Becki stated folding her arms.
"I know one you'll like." Sev said.
"Who?" Paris asked Sev came close to Paris and I.
"Bradshaw." Sev said causing Paris and I to laugh.
"No, I was thinking about Drew. He's sweet and quite Becki." I said.
"What about the height thing?" Paris asked.
"I've got it, Adam Copeland, Edge." Sev finished.
"Perfect, now Charlotte, what about Drew." Paris said.
"No, Drew is out." I stated flatly.
"Erm hello, we are still here." Charlotte said.
"Well, Becki come with me." I seized her arm and took her across the room to see Adam.
"Hey Canadian." I called out to him.
"Hey American." he replied, Adam and I always greeted each other by nationality. "And who is this?"
"This is Becki, and she's your responsibility for tonight." I passed Becki's arm to Adam and hastily walked away ignoring Becki's protests at been left with a sweaty wrestler.
"We should have so given her to X Punk." I said as I approached Sev and Paris. "Charlotte." I grabbed Charlotte and led her towards DX. She protested, but I blocked them out.
"Hey Mads." Joanie said. Everyone had adopted Jeff's nickname.
"Hey Joanie. Sean, this is Charlotte. Please look after her for me."
"We will." Roadie said.
"That means no practical jokes." I walked of to an:
"Ooh, Mrs O Mac." from Jean Paul. I looked around for Sev and Paris, Matt and Jeff must have taken them because that was where they were, locked in a lip lock with their respective Hardy. I smiled and joined Shane who was stood with Andrew.
"Hello sexy." Drew greeted me.
"Hey, this is my girl." Shane stated holding me around his waist. Soon, too soon it was time for cake. Linda brought it out with 31 candles arranged on the top. Shane blew them out easily and then seized the knife and sliced the cake. He then turned to me and placed a passionate lip lock on me. The whole room cheered except the one person who I saw as soon as he released me.
"Happy birthday Shane." she said.
"Thank you Marissa" he said.
"OK, Shane you can drop the bitch. I'm sorry; I should have paid more attention to you. Josh was a mistake, just as she is."
"Marissa, Kara isn't a bitch, you may be, but she isn't and so I expect you to treat her better than trash. Secondly, she is no mistake, but yours has cost you our marriage. I'll see you in court next week." he said pointedly.
"I'm gonna take you to the cleaners." she retorted.
"I don't think so, you have no proof that I've cheated on you. I have tens of photos and other evidence of your disloyalty." Marissa's eyes narrowed and then she was 'escorted' out of the house by Drew and Vince. I kissed Shane's cheek.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Let's party guys." he said and then led me to a chair and sat me on his lap. I gazed into his eyes and he'd made his choice, me.
