Chapter 17
"Matt you came!" Mercina said as she wrapped her arms around her husband and daughters.
"Of course I did! I got the girls and got on a plane as soon as I found your note!"
Mercina grabbed her card-key and the family walked to Matt's room.
*In Matt's hotel room*
"Matt I left because I couldn't handle the fact that you lied, not that you knew, but that lied to me. I didn't want you to come home and the two of us get into a big fight in front of the girls."
"Mercina, I said that I was sorry!"
"I know that you did, but knowing me, I would have blown up at you anyways." Mercina sat on the bed, "My friend Katie has been wanting to meet you and the girls, so I'm going to her room with the girls and then when you are dressed you can find us in room 278."
"Okay."
Mercina took Rose and Brandi out the door and down the hall to Katie's room. She knocked on the door, and Katie opened the door.
*In Katie's hotel room*
"Mercina? Are these yours?"
"Yup!"
"Where's Matt?"
"Getting dressed."
"So he actually found you?"
"Yeah!"
Katie was holding Rose, when there was yet another knock on the door. Mercina put Brandi on the floor, and opened the door, Matt stood on the other side fully dressed.
"Katie I would like to introduce you to my husband Matt. Matt this is Katie." Mercina said as Matt stepped over Brandi and shook Katie's small hand. Katie gasped holding Matt's hand. Mercina rolled her eyes. Matt sat down on the chair across from the bed. Mercina stepped over Brandi and was about to sit on the bed when suddenly Matt pulled her onto his lap.
"So Katie, how has practice been?" Matt asked the shocked girl.
"Um, good."
"Matt, why am I sitting on your lap?"
"Because it has been a long time since you have, and I missed it."
"Katie? Do you mind if I leave the girls here for a little while? I haven't seen my husband in over a month."
"Sure! Have they eaten?"
"No," Matt answered.
Mercina stood up and took Matt's hand and they walked out of the room, to Matt's room.
*Back in Matt's room*
"Matt I want to talk about us and our marriage."
"What do you mean? Do you have something on your mind?"
"Yeah. I do."
"Oh? And what is that?"
"Well I think that we are apart way too much and when we are together all we do is have sex. We never talk."
"And you see that as a problem?"
"Frankly, yes I do! I know very minimal about what is going on when you are on the road, and the girls are growing more and more distant from you. They see their uncle more than they see their own father!"
"I don't understand."
"Matt, I love you, but I don't know…"
"Are you saying that, you want to…?"
"No!"
"I'm trying to say that I want to stop having sex for a while so that we can talk more, and maybe learn more about each other."
"Oh, I thought that you wanted to leave me."
"No! Never! I would never leave you! Like I said in our vows "'til death do us part.""
"That's great! That's the best thing that I have heard since Vince saying that Jeff and I get the titles back!"
"You do?"
"Yeah!"
Mercina started to sing a song:
*The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love
The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night
While you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love
The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eagle heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
My one and only love*
"What song was that?" Matt asked when Mercina was done.
"It's called, "My One and Only Love", it's by Sting."
"That's a great song!"
"Matt I love you."
"I love you too."
