Chapter 5

:: Airport, 9:30 a.m ::

"Are you sure you don't have any flights to Raleigh today?" Jeff asked, as the lady nodded. "Yes, I'm sure. Why would I be lying to you?" she asked back meanly. "Well, thanks anyway," he said, as he turned around. "Wait, I'm so sorry. There is a flight going to Raleigh today. I didn't see it on the computer. I can put you on standby and see what happens," she replied, as he nodded. "That would be good," he said, as the lady handed him a piece of paper. "Take this to gate B2 and give this to the person working the counter. They will then give you a standby ticket," she explained. "If you don't mind, I also need one for my girlfriend," he said, as the lady handed him another piece of paper with writing on it. "There you go. Have a nice trip," she replied, as he thanked her. He walked over to where Sapphire was sitting and handed her one of the papers. "We're on standby, but I think there is a good chance we'll get on the plane," he said, as she half-smiled. "Cool," she replied shortly. He noticed the look on her face and frowned. "Are you sure you want to go back to wrestling this soon?" he asked, pushing a lose strand of hair out of her face. "Yes, I'm positive. I need that atmosphere soon," she answered, nodding. "But Vince told me and Trish that you could take a week or two off," he said. "No, I want to go back as soon as possible," she replied, as he blew out a breath. "Fine," he said as he picked up his bag and swung it over his shoulder. She got up from where she was seated and grabbed her bag also. "Okay, I'm ready," she said, as they started to walk to the gate.

:: Raleigh, North Carolina, 4:50 p.m ::

They did get on the plane and now were driving to the arena where RAW would be at. "That was a long flight," Sapphire said, yawning. "Yes it was. I'm tired myself. But you don't have to worry, Vince wont make you do any wrestling tonight. He doesn't even know we're coming yet," Jeff replied, as she laid her head against the window. 5 minutes later, they were at the arena and talking to none other than, Vince. "Are you sure you want to come back now?" he asked concerned for her. "Jeff asked the same question. I do want to come back. I'm positive," she answered truthfully. "Okay. You can start next Monday," he said, as she smiled. "Thank you so, so much. Can I still travel with you guys even if I'm not competing?" she asked, as Vince nodded. "Of course you can," he answered. "Another thing we wanted to let you know was that Trish went on to Toronto to see her grandmother," Jeff said, as a big smile appeared on Vince's face. "I know, she called me earlier. She also told me you two got together. Congratulations. It's about damn time," he replied, as they both smiled as well. "She doesn't keep her mouth shut, does she?" Sapphire asked, as her cheeks started to redden. "Well, I have to go to a scene with Dwayne, but I'll talk to you two later," he answered, as he walked away. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thanks for being here with me this whole time," she said, as he kissed her. "Well, well, well. How cute. After a funeral, two people get together. Was that part of your plan, pretend your mom died, so you could get Jeff into bed?" Allex asked, as Sapphire balled her firsts. "Allex, why don't you go pick on someone that really cares about what you say. Because frankly, we don't care," Jeff answered, as he went back to kissing Sapphire. Allex looked at them in disgust and walked away madly. Once they knew she was gone, they broke off laughing. "What a bitch," Sapphire said, shaking her head. "Oh I know. I don't even know why she's here in wrestling. Everyone hates her," he replied, as she sighed. "And to think she and I used to be best friends. I hope you don't think that I got with you because I need someone to hold on to," she said, as he pulled her close. "Of course I don't think that. I'm in love with you and you are in love with me and that's all that matters. Allex doesn't know what she's talking about," he replied, reassuringly. She smiled and smelled the wonderful scent of him. "I'm so happy I have you with me," she said, as he held her tight.
