Author's Note - Yeah, another at the beginning. Sorry 'bout this one. But I just realized how utterly boring RVD seemed in this story... So, I've taken it upon myself to put some life into him. Let's all say Yippee!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
The second I got into the room, I collapsed on the bed. I felt like laying here all day, which was probably exactly what I was going to do. I was waiting for Rob to tell me he was gonna go somewhere, but, well, it didn't happen. It was just too quiet for me. Soo...
"Hey, wanna play a game?" I asked him.
"Sure. What game?"
I grinned mischeviously. What game, you ask? Muahahah. Why, the kinkiest of all games...
"Twister!"
Not even I know how we got into the positions we were in as the game progressed. Rob was bent over backwards, his hands and feet in a line sort of, like it you even breathed the slightest bit he'd simply tip over. Me, on the other hand. Well, I was underneath him, my arms and legs intertwined between his. Odd positions, huh? Now... How to spin the little spinnny thing.
But before I even got to spin the 'ittle spinner, I guess Rob had sensed defeat.
"Mommy!" he shouted out of nowhere.
His 'outburst' made me jump, which was enough to throw off my balance and make me fall. Since I was under him, though, and I'd pretty much crashed into him... He just had to fall i right /i on top of me. Damn Rob, you weight too much, lose some muscles or something! Well, I was tempted to say that at least.
"Sorry," he chuckled as rolled off of me.
"Cheater," I spat mockingly at him.
He arched an eyebrow at me. I didn't even know he could do that Rock thing with his eyebrow! But I just glared at him.
"Cheater, cheater, cheater," I sing-songed until he finally grabbed me and started to tickle me.
It didn't help much that I was ticklish almost anywhere on my body. Oh, why me? I tried so hard to push him off, but he was relentless in his onslaught of tickles.
"Say please and I'll stop."
"Please!"
"Not good enough... Say pretty please," more tickling from him, this time around my ribs.
"Pretty please!"
Tears were streaming down my face by this time. I was laughing that hard! I wanted him to stop, but at the same time if felt great to laugh. I don't remember ever laughing like this with Chris.
Chris.
I suddenly become unaware of Rob tickling me. Couldn't even feel it. Chris had found his way into my head. I don't ever recall even playing around with him like this. Just jokes.
By now Rob had stopped tickling me. I think he knew what I was thinking about.
"Don't dwell on him, Kat. Just try to forget. It'll be a lot easier on you if you don't think about him."
"Oh shut up. Like you even know what it's like!" I didn't mean to yell at him so coldly, but, well... I couldn't help it.
"Actually I do."
I stared at him a moment, waiting for him to explain.
"I got divorced about a year ago. My wife had gotten tired of me being on the road so often. She said I was never home, that I was never around when I needed her. I guess she eventually got sick of me 'never having time' for her and asked for a divorce. I had no choice but to grant her the divorce. It hasn't been easy, ya know, to forget her. It's painful to think about it, about her. So I try not to. Wrestling keeps my mind off of her. But when I finally thought about it, I realized that she wasn't the one for me, me and her just weren't meant to be together. So maybe you and Chris weren't meant to be together either."
All I could do was nod, half in agreement to what he said, half in sorrow for him. He'd been married. And his wife had gotten sick of the wrestling life that he lived. Why'd she even marry him if she couldn't deal with it? But maybe Rob was right. If her and Jericho were meant to be together, he wouldn't have, you know.
"Kat?"
"I was just thinking..."
"And?"
"I know you're right. It just may take me a while to really realize it."
"Nah, you'll realize it sooner then you think."
"Yeah... Riiight. Anyways, I know you're part of the ECW group ; so exactly what all did you do back when ECW was around?"
I could have sworn Rob's smile reached from ear to ear. Looks like he may like to brag a bit. Oh well, I've got all the time in the world.
"Well..." he began as he put an arm around my shoulder and led me to the couch.

A/N - Okay, so this chappy was pretty boring too... Sowry. :-( I'll do better next chapter. Trust me! *sly grin from the author* But that's only if you're nice and review.
