Brock walked Shelby back to her room. "I'll see you tomorrow." He said. "Okay goodnight." Shelby said. She walked in and jumped straight in her bed. She was so tired all she wanted to do was sleep. "Want to get in with me?" Trish asked. "I didn't know you were still awake." Shelby said. Yea, can't sleep." Trish said. "So want to come over here or not?" Trish said. "For a few minutes. We need to talk." Shelby said. She went over and climbed in the bed with Trish. Trish pulled her close. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing. You know I care about you Trish. You're my best friend. We just can't do this anymore." Shelby said. "This as in sex?" Trish asked. "Yea. Brock loves you and I know that you love him." Shelby said. "Yes I do. I want to be with him more than anything." Trish said. "Well there you have it. I don't think me and you doing the bump and grind is going to be conducive to a good relationship with Brock. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to share the woman he loves with a lover." Shelby said. "Yes I get pretty much the same feeling from him." Trish said. "Shelby you mean the world to me. I don't want this to hurt you." Trish said. "Trish it's been fun, it's been crazy, it's been great. But we both knew this wasn't forever. You are my best friend that aint going to change." Shelby said. Trish leaned over and kissed Shelby on her lips softly. "I love you Shelby." Trish said. "I love you too." Shelby said. Shelby got out of the bed and went back to hers. She laid there for a moment. "Trish?" Shelby said. "Yea?" Trish said. "I'm really going to miss your tits. I love them things." Shelby said laughing. Trish burst out in laughter. Shelby felt a pillow hit her head. "Go to sleep." Trish said still laughing.
Shelby was at the arena working on a computer glitch. No computer no show tonight. "Young lady what are you doing at work?" Vince said from behind her. Shelby stood up. "Hi sir." She said. "Drop that sir stuff and don't change the subject. Why aren't you in your room taking it easy?" Vince asked. "I'm fine really I wanted to come to work." Shelby said. Vince took in her black eye and split lip. "You look like hell. I'm really sorry about what happened Shelby. Eric has been fired." Vince said. "I know. It's not your fault." She said. "Does Brock and Taker know you're at work?" He asked. "Uhh well no. I left early before I seen anyone this morning." She said. "Yes I see. I bet you wouldn't be here if they had caught you sneaking out. Vince said. "Listen I'm really fine. I want to work." Shelby said. "Okay but if you get to feeling bad or anything take yourself straight back to your room. Understood?" Vince asked. "Yes Vince." She said grinning at him. Vince smiled. "I'll see you later." He said.
Trish was packing her bag to take to the arena when someone knocked at the door. She opened the door and Brock and Jeff were standing there. "Come in guys." She said. "Where's Shelby?" Jeff asked. Trish looked confused. "She's not with you guys?" she asked. "No." said Brock. "Well she left me a note saying she was going to see you guys this morning. I figured she was still with you." She said. Trish grinned. "That little brat. She went to work." She said laughing. "She's in no condition to work after what happened." Brock said. "I'm going to find her and march her ass right back here." Jeff said. "Guys leave her alone." Trish said. They just stared at her. "Shelby is a grown woman. If she feels like working , let her. You guys are going to drive her crazy if you keep overprotecting her." Trish said. "I guess your right, but she should have told us." Brock grumbled. "Yes and you would have gave her a hard time." Trish said. Jeff and Brock looked at each other Trish was right. "Well I'm heading to the arena anyway. I need to talk to her about something." Jeff said. "He's a man on a mission." Brock said. Trish nodded she had the feeling his mission was going to fail. Brock walked over to Trish. I have been dying to get you alone. I got something to ask you?" he said.
Taker walked in the cafeteria to get a bottle of water and seen Shelby drinking coffee and going over some papers. "What in the hell are you doing here?" he thundered at her. Shelby looked up at Taker. She had gotten used to the way he roared at people. "Well hello Taker, It's nice to see you too." She said grinning at him. Taker sat down. "Sorry I didn't mean to yell, but shouldn't you be taking it easy?" he asked. "I feel like working. If I stayed at the hotel I would do nothing but dwell on that shit all day." She said. "I guess I see your point." He said. "Can I ask you something without offending you?" Taker asked. Shelby looked up at him. "Yea I guess. What?" she asked. "What exactly is going on between you and Trish?" Taker asked. "We're friends." Shelby said. "I sure don't kiss my friends the way I seen you kiss Trish yesterday." Taker said. Shelby started laughing. "I guess your right." She said. She looked at Taker. "Trish and I were lovers as well as friends. She was there when I needed someone. I guess you could say Trish taught me how to love someone and trust someone and give them pleasure." Shelby said. "So are you two like in love?" Taker asked. "No. Trish is in love with Brock. She's my best friend. The sexual part is over. Brock is not going to share his lover with me, not in that way." Shelby said. Taker looked at her a little worried. "Are you okay?" he asked. Yea I will be. I'm going to miss her in that way. But she's still my best friend." Shelby said. She had played it off lightly with Trish last night, but the truth was she was going to miss being with her. She didn't want Trish to feel bad about anything though. Taker seen the sadness in her eyes. He took her hand. "If ya need a friend I'm here." He said. Shelby smiled at him. "Thanks." She said. Just then Jeff walked up. "Great you're both here. We need to all have a talk." Jeff said.
Trish looked at Brock. "What is it Brock?" she asked. "Trish we have known each other a good while. We have been friends for a while. I have these feelings for you I've never had for any one else. I love you. Will you marry me?" Brock said. Trish's mouth fell open in shock. He wants to marry me she thought. She had never expected this.
