Chapter Fifty - A few days later
As Mandy awoke she had nervous energy running through her body. She couldn't believe that today she'd be in a match for the women's title. As she lay thinking about it Adam watched her closely. Finally it became too much and he started laughing. Quietly at first before getting louder and louder. Mandy rolled onto her stomach and look at Adam and said,
"Hey what's so funny?"
"You are..." he said as he pulled her closer and kissed her softly, "you are so adorable"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah you sure are" Mandy smiled and looked at the alarm clock on Adam's side table. A look of shock feel across her face
"Shit"
"What's wrong?"
"Its 10am already ... I've gotta get moving. I have to get to the arena"
"You don't have to be there for another 2 hours ... that gives us plenty of time" Adam said with a grin on his face
"I was going to get there earlier"
"What and leave me all by myself?"
"I'm sure you'll be able to cope"
"I don't know about that"
"Oh will you be lonely without me?"
"Of course I will and I thought we could get some early celebrations in"
"Ooh what are we celebrating?"
"I'm sure by the end of the night we'll have a few things to celebrate"
"So you think we both have a chance of winning the titles?"
"Oh but of course - especially you with the women's title"
"Fingers crossed - and you with the IC belt ... and also Matt and Jeff with the tag team belt"
"Yeah I guess we'll just have to wait and see ... won't we" Adam said before letting out of bed.
"Hey were do you think your going?"
"Well you said you were going to the arena ... so I thought I'd make us both some breakfast"
"Oh there's plenty of time fir that ... why don't you come back to bed"
"Gee I don't know..."
"Oh come on ... I'll make it worth while for you" Adam laughed before jumping on top of Mandy
"Mmm I love the sound of that" he replied
At around 12 Mandy and Adam arrived at the arena hand in hand and headed straight for their locker room to get changed. Once changed they headed to the ring where they met up with Jeff and Matt. The four of them warmed up and practiced some moves before the crowd was allowed inside. Before they headed back to their locker rooms they took one last look around the empty arena taking in the atmosphere that was around ... even though the crowd wasn't inside yet.
On the walk back to their locker room, Mandy, Matt and Jeff stopped outside Adam's locker room. They guys wished each other good luck in their matches before waiting for Mandy. She turned to them and said,
"Hey guys I'll catch up to you"
"Ok but don't take too long. We still need to discuss a few things before the show beings," Jeff said smiling
"Ok I'll be in shortly ... I promise"
"You better otherwise we'll have to come and drag you back," Matt said before the two brothers walked off to the locker room. Mandy and Adam in the meantime, talk for a bit before kissing once more.
"Good luck in your match ... I'm looking forward to you kicking Regal's ass" Mandy said before laughing softly
"Thanks gorgeous ... best of luck in your match also... I'll be cheering for you from back here."
"I'm sure you will be. But hey I better get back to the boys ... I don't really want them to come and drag me back" Mandy laughed
"I can so imagine them doing that"
"Me too and that's what I'm worried about"
"How about one last kiss before you leave me?"
"I'm sure I could manage that!" Mandy said leaning forward and kissing Adam softly. When they parted they heard someone saying,
"Mandy ... we're coming to get you"
"Dammit ... I'm so going to kick their ass"
"You better wait till after the show ... coz you don't want to injure them or yourself before the show"
"Ah good point ... once the shows over they are both going down" Mandy laughed and kissing Adam quickly on the cheek, "See you after the show" Mandy said before running down the corridor.
"Bye ... and remember don't hurt them until after the match" Adam called out
"Ok" Mandy called back before turning the corner into her locker room. As she did so she laughed to herself about how funny the whole situation was.
Allie was backstage with Vince making last minute arrangements and changes to the show. They were both running around the place like crazy people because the stress of everything was catching up to them. As the show kicked off Allie went and knocked on Mark's locker room door. He opened it up and invited her in.
"Hey Allie ... you look stressed, why don't you come in and take a load off?"
"As tempting as that sounds Mark I'll have to take a rain-check ... I just wanted to stop by and wish you luck before your match."
"Thanks. So we still going to Vince's after the show?"
"Yeah of course. But I think I might go back to your place and change first ... if that's ok with you?"
"Yeah that's cool ... how about you come back here after the show and we'll head back together?"
"Sounds good to me ... look I've gotta run ... see you after the show"
"Ok don't work yourself too hard" Mark joked
"I'll try not too ... oh and they are ready for you and Devon at the curtain"
"Ok thanks"
"It's cool," Allie said before rushing off down the corridor to let Matt, Jeff and Mandy know that they were needed by the curtain also. She knocked on their door before opening it slightly.
"Hey guys ... your needed now"
"Oh My Gosh this is so exciting!" Mandy said with a smile plastered on her face.
"But Mandy your title match isn't until later tonight"
"Oh I know but it will give me the opportunity to get a feel for the crowd ... and possibly even get some warm up down"
"Well best of luck to you all and I'll be back later to let you know when your title match is Mandy"
"Ok thanks Allie." Mandy said before Allie left and continued on her way. As she did so she bumped into Lily who seemed to be in a bit of a rush.
"Hey sorry about that Al" Lily said in between long harsh breathes
"What's the rush Lily?"
"I wanted to see Jeff before his match and wish him luck"
"Oh they've just been called to the curtain ... so you better get a move on"
"Thanks Allie ... see you later ... at Vince's party?"
"Yep"
"Excellent ... see you then" Lily called as she ran down the corridor towards the curtain. As she did so she heard his music hit. She rounded the corner and called out his name. He turned around shocked but at the same time really delighted that she made it in time. He rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I thought I'd miss you" he said softly
"So did I ... best of luck in your match"
"Thanks Lily..." Jeff said before being dragged away and pushed out the curtain. All they could do was wave to each other and blow kisses.
Around 15 minutes the boys returned to their locker room victorious after beating Mark and Devon for the tag team title. Mandy was happy because she got in some warm up like she hoped, after Stacy tried to interfere. All and all it was a great match enjoyed by all. They had little time to celebrate though because Mandy's women's title match was coming up following Adam's match against Regal, which was next. Before she returned to the locker room Mandy went and wished Adam a final good luck and gave him a special good luck kiss before leaving him to finish his preparations.
When Mandy returned to the locker room she couldn't sit still because she was too nervous. She started passing around the room but was told to sit down or else to go for a walk to calm down. So Mandy tried sitting down but it didn't help so she walked to corridor until Allie caught up the her and told her it was time to go out to the ring again. Mandy's hands were trembling so much and she found it hard to concentrate at the job at hand. However, once she remembered Matt and Jeff were in her corner she calmed down slightly because she knew they'd be for her. Once she calmed down she started to perform a 100% better and gained the upper hand in the match, Finally she executed a DDT and covered Trish for the three count to win the title off her. Matt and Jeff jumped into the ring and hugged Mandy and the three of them went off up the ramp to celebrate, but not before Matt and Mandy exchanged a heart felt kiss which made the crowd go wild.
Once back in the locker room Lily congratulated Mandy on her win. Mandy thanked her and also the guys for being there for her. The guys and Lily were so excited about the happening of the day so far that they decided to go down the corridor to catch up with some of the other superstars. They asked Mandy if she'd like to join them, but she declined saying she was going to take a really long hot shower and get changed.
"You sure?" Lily asked
"Yeah but thanks anyway." Mandy said
"That's cool..." Lily replied
"You know where to find us if you want us though" Jeff added before the three of them left the room. Mandy got changed out of their ring attire and wrapped her towel around herself before heading to the showers.
After spending a good 15 minutes under the hot running water, Mandy dried herself off and wrapped the towel around her body again. As she opened the shower cubicle door and stepped out she felt something strange under foot. She bent down to discover a trail of rose petals leading towards to lockers. She followed them unsure of what she'd find. As she reached the end of the trial she looked around the room and was a little confused for a minute, until Adam appeared.
"What..." she started before he put a finger over her lips to stop her from talking. He then got down on one knee and said
"Mandy I've loved you since that very first night ... you answering the door dripping wet and with a towel around yourself. I've known since that very night that I never want to be apart from you ... and although we've had some rough patches we've managed to overcome them. This has made us a much closer and more open couple. That is why more than anything in the world I would love it if you'd do me the honour of marrying me. What do you say Mandy ... will you marry me?" Adam produced a small box from his pocket and opened it slowly to show a gorgeous engagement ring. Mandy stood stunned at what she'd just heard and could see. When it register what had just happened Mandy started to cry.
"Your not going to make this easy are you?" Adam joked and pulling her down gently so that she could sit on his knee. He then wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. Mandy lifted her head so that she looked Adam in the eyes and said,
"I'm sorry ... but you know how emotional I get"
"Yeah I should have planned it" Adam said smiling, "but you haven't answered my question"
"Of course I'll marry you Adam ... I couldn't think of anything I want more than to marry you" Mandy said before Adam pulled her in again and kissed. Adam took the ring out of the box and carefully slid it onto Mandy's finger. As she did so Mandy lost balance and ended up falling on top of him, sending them both to the ground. Thankfully the ring stayed safely on Mandy's finger.
While still lying on top of Adam, Mandy looked down and said,
"You sure do know how to top off a terrific day don't you?"
"Well what can I say?" Adam said smiling and pulling her in closer
A few minutes later Mandy and Adam where interrupted by the locker room door opening and Matt returning to get changed.
"Hey sorry guys I didn't mean to umm ... I'll go..." he said turning to leave
"Please don't..." Mandy said sitting up and adjusting her towel.
"You sure coz I can always go down the hall to change"
"No really Matt its cool ... I should probably get changed myself" Mandy said smiling. Adam got up off the floor and held out a hand to help Mandy up. As Mandy stood up Matt noticed the ring on Mandy's finger.
"Is that what I think it is?" he said pointing to Mandy's finger
"Yeah it is ... Adam just proposed to me"
"Congrats guys" Matt said walking over and hugging them as a show of his support.
"Thanks Matt" Adam said
"It means a lot to us" Mandy added
"No prob" Matt said picking up his towel and started walking towards the showers, "now if you'll excuse me I'm going to take a quick shower"
"Ok ... see you soon," Mandy called before Matt disappeared into the back section of their locker room. She then turned back around to look at Adam and wrapping her arms back around his waist and smiled.
"You don't seem to be able to stop smiling now" Adam laughed
"Hey you would be to if you'd just had the most amazing day ... that seems to get better and better as time goes on ... oh but wait..." Mandy said trying to be as serious as possible before Adam pulled her in and kissed her again. When they parted Mandy said
"I should probably get changed ... or else I'll be in this towel all night long"
"And that's a bad thing"
"Maybe not to you but I don't exactly want everyone looking at me and I'm sure that you wouldn't either"
"Oh good point ... maybe you better get changed. Want some help"
"Adam I think I'm old enough to dress myself" Mandy joked, "but hey if it makes you feel any better you can always help me with my shoes..." Mandy said unwrapping her arms and walking over to her locker. She took out her change of clothes and started to get dressed.
Once changed she turned to Adam and said,
"So do you wanna help me put my shoes on?"
"I'd love too," Adam said gesturing for her to sit down while he crouched in front of her. He gently helped her put the shoes one. Once done they both got to their feet. Mandy packed all her gear into her bag before looking at Adam,
"Can we go and tell Allie and Lily to news?"
"Of course ... we should probably grab something to eat also"
"But aren't we going straight to Vince's from here?"
"Oh yeah ... I forgot about that"
"We are still going right?"
"Of course we are. I mean we'll want to show everyone our titles after all..."
"Is that the only thing?" Mandy inquired
"What else is there to tell people?" Adam said jokingly
"You are such a teaser aren't you"
"Yep that would be me," Adam said grinning cutely before saying, "come on lets go and find Allie and Lily."
"Ok" Mandy with an excited tone in her voice. She went to pick up her bag and belt when Adam stopped her.
"Allow me" he said picking up the bag and belt. The two of them were heading to the door when Matt returned from his shower. Mandy and Adam said,
"Hey we're heading off ... see you later at Vince's"
"Ok ... oh Adam, next time you well like doing something special for Mands, do you think you could refrain from putting rose petals on the ground? ... I mean don't get me wrong it looks good but there are all stuck to my feet now" Matt said laughing
"Sorry about that Matt ... I'll remember for next time"
"Thanks. And yeah see you later tonight"
"Ok bye" Adam said before the two headed out the door. Mandy looking up and Adam and said,
"Next time?" Adam could only laugh
As Mandy and Adam headed off down the hall looking for Allie and Lily, some of the superstars stopped them and congratulated both of them on great matches and wins. They thanked them before continuing on with their quest to find their friends. Finally they saw Allie, Lily, Mark and Jeff sitting down together in the cafeteria. They walked over together and said hello to everyone before sitting down at the table with them.
"Great matches you guys" Allie said looking over at Mandy and Adam who couldn't keep their eyes off each other.
"Thanks Al" Mandy said looking over at her momentarily before returning to look at Adam.
"What's with you guys this afternoon? You seem different some how," Lily said
"Yeah ... you guys won't stop smiling at each other," Allie added
"I guess you could say that today's turned out to be the best day..." Mandy said still looking at Adam. At that moment Lily looked down at the table to pick up her coffee, as she did so she noticed Mandy's ring.
"Ah do you guys have something you want to tell us?"
"Yeah I guess you could say that" Mandy said noticing Lily still looking at her ring, "Do you want to tell them or should I?" Mandy continued, looking at Adam.
"You should" Adam said softly
"Ok ... well a little while ago Adam proposed to me" Allie and Lily looked at each other before turning back to Mandy and Adam,
"Oh my gosh" Allie said still in shock
"Did you say yes?" Lily inquired
"I wouldn't be wearing this ring otherwise," Mandy said giving the girls a closer look. Everyone at the table congratulated Mandy and Adam. They spent the next 30 minutes talking about how great the news was. Finally they all decided to start making their way to Vince's place. Allie informed them all that it was going to be a great night because she'd helped him with the arrangements. Everyone laughed before they headed off to the car park. On the way, Adam stopped off at his locker room to pick up his gear before continuing on with Mandy.
As Mandy awoke she had nervous energy running through her body. She couldn't believe that today she'd be in a match for the women's title. As she lay thinking about it Adam watched her closely.

"Yeah I guess you could say that" Mandy said noticing Lily still looking at her ring, "Do you want to tell them or should I?" Mandy continued, looking at Adam.
"You should" Adam said softly
"Ok ... well a little while ago Adam proposed to me" Allie and Lily looked at each other before turning back to Mandy and Adam,
"Oh my gosh" Allie said still in shock
"Did you say yes?" Lily inquired
"I wouldn't be wearing this ring otherwise," Mandy said giving the girls a closer look. Everyone at the table congratulated Mandy and Adam. They spent the next 30 minutes talking about how great the news was. Finally they all decided to start making their way to Vince's place. Allie informed them all that it was going to be a great night because she'd helped him with the arrangements. Everyone laughed before they headed off to the car park. On the way, Adam stopped off at his locker room to pick up his gear before continuing on with Mandy.
