Mark awoke and sighed. This is the part he hated. He had to get her up and get her out of here. He hoped she wasn't one of those females that thought because they slept together they had a relationship now. If she started that shit, he was just going to have to be blunt and tell her it was just a good screw and to leave it at that.
Danni was the best lay he had had in a while, hell a while, he couldn't remember better. He figured he would give her a couple of hundred dollars; she looked like she could use it.
Mark turned over to wake her and his eyes widened. She was gone. He felt the bed, it was cold she had been gone for a while.
Well that's real nice, Mark thought, take off without saying bye or kiss my ass or nothing.
Mark lay on his back angry with her.
"Oh Mark, why are ya angry this takes care of the problem, ya was worried she was going to be hung up on ya, obviously not, she sees it as just a good screw, ya should be happy" That little voice said.
"Oh shut up." Mark growled to himself.
Mark ya really got to stop talking to yourself. Mark thought.
It really was for the best. So she took off she was like him, no strings, no regrets. That suited him fine. How many times have you snuck out of bed and left someone laying there like a thief in the night he thought.
"Yea Mark don't feel so good to be on the receiving end, does it?" his little voice said.
Mark sighed and got up to shower. He had to get on the road.
Hell he wouldn't mind having another piece of that once in a while and then he grinned. Hell they worked for the same company. It wouldn't be like he would never see her again. Mark started whistling and jumped in the shower.
Little did Mark know that fate works in strange ways and it would be months before he would run into Danni again.
Danni banged on Jeff's door. The door flew open and Jeff was standing there in his boxers looking half asleep.
Danni grinned and stepped in the room and closed the door.
"Hey Trish." Danni said smiling at the blonde laying in Jeff's bed.
"Hey Danni." Trish said setting up.
"What in the hell is so important this early in the morning?" Jeff asked.
Danni went and dropped in the bed beside Trish.
"I'm leaving." Danni said.
Jeff sighed and fell in the bed beside her.
"Danni cant you ever just stay in one place, you can't run away from yourself you know." Jeff said.
"I can try." Danni said quietly.
Jeff reached over and pulled her into a hug. He wished she could put her past behind her and settle down, fall in love, have a happy life.
Danni pulled back and kissed him.
"Can you tell Vince for me?" Danni asked.
"Yea, I will." Jeff said fingering her wild hair.
"Thanks big brother." Danni said smiling.
"Take care of your self little sister." Jeff said smiling back.
Danni hugged Trish.
"Take care of Jeff." Danni said.
"I will. You take care of yourself, and call us." Trish said.
"You guys don't worry about me. I'll be back soon enough." Danni said.
Danni hopped up and left.
"I thought she would stay longer." Trish said.
"It's Mark. She went to his room last night. I could see there was an instant attraction between them. She's scared by what she's feeling, so she going to run away from it." Jeff said.
"What about Mark?" Trish asked.
"Who knows with him, he's been so weird lately." Jeff said.
Mark arrived at the arena the next day trying to figure out how to look for Danni without appearing to look for Danni. He went and hung out around the Tech van for a while but he didn't see her. Soon he gave up and went to the cafeteria to get bottled water. He saw Jeff sitting at a table and went over.
"Hey Hardy." Mark said.
"Mark, how are you." Jeff asked.
"Fine." Mark said.
To Jeff he looked edgy.
"So I haven't seen Danni around today." Mark said trying to sound as uninterested as possible.
Ah ha thought Jeff, Danni had actually got under the Deadmans skin.
"Uhh she took off, she does that, she never stays in one place long." Jeff said.
Mark was shocked. She just took off. He couldn't believe it.
"Oh well, I was just wondering, I'll see ya around." Mark said hurrying off.
Jeff grinned. These two stubborn people had got more than they bargained for.
Mark liked Danni. Danni liked Mark. That's why Danni had taken off, she was scared.
"I'll be damned." Jeff said to himself. He thought about calling Danni and telling her to get her ass back here, but she had to figure things out on her own. He figured he would let it ride a while before he tried to talk to her.
