Shelby jumped in her car in a hurry to get home. Taker, Brock and Trish Would be here this evening. She was going to meet them at the airport. She was going to give Taker a ride cause he had his cars at the house, he didn't need a rental and Trish and Brock would follow in a rental. They were going to stay at Taker's house too. Shelby was so excited to see them. She had missed them so much. The last two months had passed swiftly. She had got the job teaching at the college and was very happy there. It was a good job with none of the drama of working for the WWE. Not that she didn't miss her old job. She did, but right now the calm pace of this job was what she needed. Shelby pulled into the driveway and hopped out. She had two hours to be at the airport. She had to get moving.
Shelby stood in front of the closet trying to decide what to wear. Come on Shelby she thought it's not rocket science, just pick something she thought. Her hand moved to some jeans but then she changed her mind. Hell it had been a while since she dressed up why not. She pulled out a short black skirt and a black midriff top that showed off her tattoo. She grinned she had been through a lot of changes in the last few months. She had got the tattoo on a whim. It was a dragon whose long tongue encircled her belly button. She had loved it when she seen it and it did look great. She got dressed and put on black low heeled sandals. She brushed out her long hair and let it hang loose. She checked herself in the mirror. Damn girl you look hot. Okay Shelby why are you dressed like this she asked herself. You're going to the airport to pick up 3 friends. Jeans and a t-shirt would have been fine she told herself. Well Trish hated to see her slouching around in jeans all the time, she would be glad to see her dressed up for a change. Shelby didn't question her self anymore. That sounded good to her. The truth was that Shelby was getting over Jeff slowly but surely. It still came up to bite her at odd times. But she was definitely better. Okay girl get your ass going she thought.
Shelby paced back and forth in the terminal. She was anxious to see her friends. Their plane had landed where the hell were they she thought?
Taker walked into the terminal with Brock and Trish behind him. He was anxious to see his girl. He hadn't realized how much he would miss her. Trish laughed behind him. "Taker you seem a little excited." Trish teased. Brock laughed it was obvious to him and Trish that Taker had it bad for Shelby. Taker just ignored them. "Mark!" Shelby yelled when she saw him. Taker turned and looked and his eyes about popped out of his head. Shelby ran and jumped in his arms. Taker caught her holding her tight. "I missed you." she said. "I missed you too Darlin." He said. Taker set her down. "Let me look at you." He said holding her at arms length. Damn if she didn't look hot Taker thought. "You look beautiful Darlin." He said. His eyes wondered down her body and seen the tat. "What's that little girl?" he asked rubbing his fingers across the tat. Shelby's stomach did flip flops at his touch. She blushed. "Igot a tat." She said. "I see. It's very….nice." he finally said. Shelby looked over and seen Brock and Trish and grabbed Trish in a huge hug. "Girl I missed you." Shelby said. "I miss you too Shelby and by the way damn you look hot." Trish said. Brock picked her up in his arms and spun her around. Shelby laughed and held on to his shoulders. Brock kissed her. "I missed my girl." He said. "I missed you too." She said hugging him tight. They visited a few minutes and decided to hit the rode. Taker followed her out to the parking lot. She flipped him the keys. "I drove your truck. You can drive back." She said. "You didn't park to close to someone else did you?" he asked looking worried. "I hope you drove careful I don't have a single dent on that truck and the paint job is perfect." He said rushing over to check it. Shelby rolled her eyes. He checked the truck from one end to the other. "You two want to get a room?" Shelby asked as she watched him inspecting the truck. Taker stood up. "Ya getting a smart mouth on ya girl." Taker said coming to stand over her. Shelby looked up at him. "I told you once before I aint scared of you." She said grinning at him. Taker opened the passenger door and picked her up and sat her on the seat. "Lucky for you there aint a dent on her or else you wouldn't be sitting comfortable for a while." He said. Shelby just stuck her tongue out at him. Taker wrapped a arm around her and hugged her. "Sassy little brat." He said laughing. Taker closed the door and went around to the driver's side and got in. They got on there way. Taker couldn't keep his eyes off her. "So how are you doing? Is the job still going good?" he asked. "Yes, I love it. It's a great job. I'm doing a lot better. I'm starting to have more good days than bad days." She said. Taker took her hand and squeezed it. "I'm glad Shelby. We all been worried about you." He said. Shelby held on to his hand. She looked at him and smiled. "I missed you so much Mark." She said. "I missed you too girl." He said. "Hey I got a surprise for ya." He said. "What?" she asked. "I'll be staying for a week. I got a little time off." He said. Shelby scooted over next to him and wrapped an arm around him. "That's great." She said. "Little girl if ya don't pull that skirt down ya going to cause me to have a wreak." Taker said chuckling. Shelby blushed and tugged at the skirt. She went to move back over. "Hey I didn't say you had to move way back over there." Taker said pulling her back next to him. Shelby said to hell with it and laid her head on his shoulder. Damn but she had missed him. "You look real pretty honey." Taker said. "Thanks." She said. "Mark can I ask you something?" she said. "Yea baby?" he said. "Are you flirting with me?" she asked. Taker laughed. "Well damn baby I knew I was a little rusty but if ya have to ask I need to work on my skills don't I." He said. "Uhh your skills are just fine. It's me that's a little rusty." She said. "Do ya mind I mean does it bother ya?" he asked a little worried. "No I don't mind." She said blushing a little. Taker grinned the next week was going to be real interesting.
