My eyes shot open and I looked at the clock on my bedside table. "7:32 AM."
The phone rang again and I picked up the receiver as quickly as possible to
stop the shrill noise. * God! I thought I was dreaming. * "Hello?" I answered.
"Hi, is this Sam?" I didn't recognize the voice and there was a lot of noise
in the background.
"Yeah, this is she," I replied.
"You're probably wondering who this is. I'm Amy...Dumas. You might know me as
the WWF's Lita."
That was enough to wake me up. I sat up in my bed. "Wow, Lita, I-I mean Amy!
Hi, how are you?" I stammered.
"I'm good, thanks for asking. I hope I didn't wake you up. Listen, Matt thought
that maybe we should talk I hear you two are thinking about getting together.
Just let me say that I didn't call to talk you into anything. Matt thought I
could tell you what it's like dating when you're in the business. Sam, I think
it's smart, what you're doing, seriously considering the reality of being
together.
"So, he talked to you about it?" I asked. * Why would Matt tell her? I wonder
how much she knows about us exactly. *
"Yes. I hope you're not upset. Matt and I are close. We tell each other almost
everything," she said, trying to gain my trust.
"That's fine. You guys are friends and I know Matt means really well," I
reluctantly responded. Truth is the idea that she and Matt had discussed our
situation distressed me a little. Maybe it was the fact that she was a woman
and so close to Matt, maybe it was that she wanted to talk to me about my
relationship with Matt. * Shouldn't this be between Matt and I? * Whatever the
reason, I realized Matt had good intentions and was concerned for my best
interest so I put aside my defensiveness.
"Matt is a great guy and I promise you he would never do anything he thought
might hurt you. You're very special to him, I can tell." Amy paused for a
moment, then responded to someone in the background. "Sorry about that, we're
at a photo shoot. Now back to the reason for my call. If you and Matt decide to
make a go of it, there will be some hard times. I won't lie to you, there'll be
a lot of hard times. He'll be on the road all the time, you won't see a whole
lot of him. If you're lucky, you might see him a total of a full two weeks out
of one year, and that's being really optimistic. Maybe you think you can handle
that, but add not talking to him and see how you fare. He'll promise to call,
and he'll bend over backwards to make sure he does. You won't get a lot of
sleep because the only time he'll be able to call will be late at night or early
in the morning. And then you'll spend a lot of those calls discussing how badly
he feels for waking you. After a while, he'll get up in the morning, go to call,
feel guilty for waking you and tell himself he'll call later in the day, and get
so wrapped up in what's going on that he'll forget. Do you watch WWF broadcasts?"
Amy asked, changing the subject...or so I thought.
"That will be the worst part...You'll watch his matches on t.v. and he'll pull
of some crazy 'extreme' move and you'll be stuck at home worrying about him
being hurt. Compound that with not seeing or talking to him and you could drive
yourself crazy with worry." Amy took a moment before begining again. There was
a difference in her voice, a kind of sadness tempered with concern. "Sam, I'm not
saying all this to freak you out or discourage you from being with Matt. He is so
happy. You should see his face when he talks about you. I want that for him,
really I do, but it wouldn't be fair to either of you if someone didn't explain
what you'd be in for."
"Amy, I understand that and I appreciate you being so honest with me. I knew being
with Matt would be difficult, but it's good to hear just how difficult." Honestly,
I wasn't sure I could handle all this. I already had a lot to consider and what
Amy was telling me wasn't really helping my decision making process.
"Should I continue?" Amy asked with a bit of caution.
"Yes, I need to hear it even if I don't want to," I replied.
"Okay, well Matt is part of one of the most popular tag teams in the WWF. People
will always be trying to get his attention, to get close to him. His fans want to
know every detail of his life. If you decided to be his girlfriend, that means they
will want to know every detail of your life. You may get calls and letters, some
from fans that are happy to see the two of you together and want to wish you well,
some from people that will hate you. You'll need to be prepared for that. As far as
I know, none of the fans have ever hurt anyone or anything like that, bit it's easy
to let those things spook you. If someone crosses the line, the WWF will make sure
it's taken care of, that you're not in any danger, and that it doesn't happen again.
Mr. MacMahon takes a personal care to make sure nothing happens to any of his
wrestlers or their family and friends. Well, that's about it...the cons of dating a
WWF superstar," Amy said with a sigh. "I hope that you won't make your decision
based solely on what I've said. I hope you remember how much Matt means to you and
that you can focus on the good parts of your relationship. I would love to see you
guys together. You seem to be very good for him."
"Thanks. He's been really good for me. I definately have a lot to think about. Thank
you for being so candid," I said. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. * Why does
this have to be so hard? *
Author's Note: Alright, y'all, what do you think? Should Matt and Sam
try to make it work? Let me know, submit a review!
For all you fans of Amy Dumas, I'm so sorry to make her the bearer of
bad news in this, but somebody had to do it.
