Shelby woke up with a start. She looked at the time. It was 8:30. She looked over and seen Taker sleeping on his bed with the covers tangled around his legs. She smiled and got up. She slipped her clothes on. She went over to the bed and kissed him on the cheek. Taker opened his eyes. "Sneaking out darlin?" he asked. "No I got to go do something and I got to get packed too." She said. "Thanks for being so sweet last night." She said. Taker grinned. "Yea just don't spread it around. You'll ruin my bad reputation." He said. She laughed. "Your secrets safe with me." Shelby said. "I'll see you later." She said "Bye Darlin." Taker said.
Shelby knocked at the door. Trish opened the door. "Shelby I was worried about you when I didn't hear from you last night." Trish said. "Sorry I was having a bad night. Listen we need to get together on this wedding thing. Brock was telling me it was in two days at Jeff's place." Shelby said. "Yea, I hope that's not going to be a problem for you since you two are having problems." Trish said. "No, I'll just ignore the jerk." Shelby said. "Umm listen I need to talk to your idiot boyfriend. Do you mind?" Shelby asked. "No. He's asleep but get him up. He needs to get packed anyway. I'm going to run downstairs for some coffee. I'll be back in a while." Trish said. Hope they don't kill each other Trish thought as she left. Shelby went over to the bed. Brock was asleep in the middle of the bed on his back. Shelby got on the bed and bent over and kissed him on the head. "Wake up sleeping beauty." She said. Brock looked up and smiled. "Stealing kisses while I sleep?" Brock asked. "Yea you're a lot nicer while your sleeping." She said. "Still mad?" he asked. "No, not really." She said. "Care to tell me why you were so pissed yesterday. I know it wasn't over a damn shot." Brock said. "I feel like your pushing me away from Trish like you don't want me around anymore." She said. Brock sat up and put his arm around her. "If I did or said anything to make you feel that way I'm sorry. I would never do that." Brock said. "I know I was just feeling kind of down yesterday anyway everything just hit me at once." Shelby said. Brock hugged her. "Friends?" he asked. "Yea. Friends." She said. "Good cause we're booked right next to each other on the flight to Charlotte." He said laughing. Shelby grinned. "I gotta go get packed see ya later." She said. "Bye little girl." Brock said.
Shelby walked down the isle of the plane toward her seat. Oh great Jeff was seated right behind them and was sitting with Stacey Keibler. She looked at the two of them. They were sitting there with their heads together talking and laughing. Big dumb jerk she thought. She walked past them ignoring them and plopped down beside Brock and Trish. "Hey guys." She said. "Hey girl." Trish said. Hey Shelby." Brock said. Her and Trish discussed the wedding on the flight. Trish wanted her to be the maid of honor for her. "I would love too." Shelby said. It was to be a small wedding. Jeff would be there and Vince. A few of Trish's friends were coming in as well as a few of Brocks friends but that was it. Her and Trish made plans to go shopping for a dress that afternoon. Shelby sat there listening to Jeff and Stacey carry on. She wanted to go back there and smack them both. Better she found out now what kind of guy Jeff was now she guessed.
The next two days passed in a blur between work and getting ready for Trish and Brock's wedding things were crazy. Trish and Shelby were in a spare bedroom. Shelby was helping Trish get ready. "You look beautiful." Shelby said. Trish looked in the mirror. "I guess I'll do." She said laughing. "You look stunning yourself. Jeff's eyes are going to pop out of his head." Trish said. "He only has eyes for Stacey now. At least he didn't bring her today." Shelby said. "He better not bring that bimbo to my wedding." Trish said. They both started laughing. "You ready." Shelby asked. "Yes." Trish said. They heard the music start. "Let's go friend." Shelby said. Trish grabbed Shelby's hand and squeezed it. Shelby smiled at her. "Let's go." She said.
Trish made her was down the isle on Vince's arm. She seen Brock standing there looking so handsome she thought she would never be this happy again. Vince walked her to Brock and he took her hand. Trish listened to the minister as he talked but her eyes were on Brock. She seen the love in his eyes and it took her breath away. She was aware of saying I do and Brock saying it too, but everything else was fuzzy. Brock pulled her to him and kissed her. It took her breath away. She was finally where she supposed to be.
Shelby hugged Brock and Trish. "You guys were great." She said. Jeff came over. "Trish you look beautiful." He said. "Thanks Jeff." Trish said. "Hey Jeff." Shelby said. Jeff completely ignored her. Shelby had enough of his shit. She turned around and walked out the front door. "Jeff…." Brock began. "No, let me handle this." Trish said. "Jeff why don't you stop acting like a two year old that's not getting their way. Shelby hasn't done anything to deserve that kind of treatment. Your being a first class jerk." Trish said. Jeff hung his head. She was right. His pride was hurt but that was no reason to act like he had been. He decided to go find Shelby and apologize.
Shelby had decided to go for a walk. She headed for the path that lead down to a little lake. It was a pretty nice day out, not to cold. She was walking along when she felt a hand across her mouth. "Thought you was safe huh Bitch?" a voice said. Shelby knew the voice it was Eric Bishoff. He started dragging her toward the woods.
