After several minutes of walking around the arena, she still hadn't found any sign of Chris. 'Maybe he is avoiding me', she thought outloud. She immediately pushed that thought to the back of her mind and continued her search. She looked around and realized that she was standing right in front of his locker room door.
She hesitated for a few seconds. She knew there would be other wrestlers in there, none of which had any use in the world for her. That could be pretty intimidating. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. A few seconds later she heard Jay Reso. "Come in", he yelled. Jay wondered who it could be. Nobody hardly ever knocked, so it would have to be somebody who actually has manners.
Jay looked up and saw Nora walk into the dressing room. Several guys scurried to the back to get a towel. Nora glanced around the room and spotted Chris sitting down on the bench, but now he was in his street clothes. He had his hair back in a ponytail and he was wearing jeans and a black tank top.
She looked back at Jay. "Would you mind leaving for a while so I can be with Chris alone, please?" she asked quietly. Jay agreed, although he was very confused to why Nora would want to be alone in a room with Chris. Jay went to the back and instructed the other guys that they needed to leave for a while. One by one the guys left the room.
When everybody was gone, Nora sat down on the chair across from the bench where Chris was sitting. She looked directly into his eyes, then looked down a little and started to speak when Chris interrupted her.
"What did I tell you about looking down?"
Nora lifted her head back up. "Sorry", she mumbled.
Chris shrugged lightly. "It's ok. So, um..why did you want to talk with me alone? Other girls would just assume that I'd take advantage of them or something." He looked down slightly.
He was surprised to see Nora stand up in front of him and tilt his chin back up. "If I can't look down, then you most certainly cannot look down either. Besides, I realized that you aren't the kind of guy to take advantage of a woman, and I admire you for that. You're different from most of the other guys back here." She laughed quietly. "I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to get into one of the girl's pants."
Chris nodded slightly. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
Nora sat down beside him on the bench and turned sideways so she could face him. "The reason I came down here", she paused for a few seconds, "..is to ask you why you were about to kiss me." Chris was shocked at her question. He figured she would never mention it again. He shifted slightly because he was now uncomfortable. He couldn't really find the words to tell Nora that he had feelings for her, so instead he said, "I don't know."
She seemed a little upset a his answer, but she kept her confidence. She scooted closer to Chris and slowly started to lean in. He realized what she was doing and his heart just about stopped beating in his chest. This was definitely not his first kiss, so why was he so jittery? Chris ignored the fluttery feeling in his stomach and leaned forward as well. A few seconds later, he felt Nora's lips press lightly against his. He immediately responded and wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss more. Nora tugged gently as his ponytail and let her fingers run through Chris' hair. Chris slowly slid his tongue into her mouth, wanting to feel its warmth. Nora moaned quietly then pulled Chris closer to her and gently circled his tongue with hers. After several moments of heated passionate kissing, they both pulled away, breathless.neither of them knowing what to do next.
"Wow," was all that Chris could manage to say.
Nora blushed slightly. "You can say that again."
Chris took a deep breath and held both of Nora's hands. He remembered that they had the next few days off. "If you don't have any plans, I was wondering if maybe you'd want to come back to Canada and spend some time with me. I'd really like to get to know you better. I could show you around and take you to dinner, if you agree of course.."
Nora put her finger gently over Chris' mouth. "I'd love to spend time with you, Chris." He smiled and pulled her into a hug. This was definitely a good day for both of them.
