"Danni get down here." Bill called from the ring.
Danni rolled her eyes and trotted down to see what he wanted.
She jumped in the ring and walked over to him. He had been going over his match with Scott Steiner.
"Girl you are in so much trouble." Scott said winking at her and jumping out of the ring.
"What's up Bill?" Danni asked.
Bill grabbed the back of her over alls and set her up on the ring post.
"What's this I hear about you taking off?" Bill asked keeping his hands on either side so she couldn't escape.
Danni sighed and rolled her eyes. Over the past three weeks her and Bill had become close friends. But the truth be told, Bill had begun to fill in that shadow figure that Danni had never had in her life. If Jeff was her brother then Bill was playing the role of dad. She wasn't sure how they had fell into those roles but they had. Sometimes he really irritated her, but for the most part it made her feel good.
"Damn Jeff he just can't keep his mouth shut can he?" Danni said.
Bill put his nose right to hers.
"You won't be going anywhere. I'm too attached to you, so I guess I'll be keeping you around." Bill said.
Danni smiled first. Then Bill broke out in a grin.
"Yes sir, what ever you say." Danni said.
Bill kissed her nose and set her down.
"Now that we got that settled. Why are you wanting to take off anyway?" Bill asked.
"I don't know." Danni said shrugging.
"Don't know, huh?" Bill asked.
"Well Mark supposed to be back today and I'm kinda nervous about seeing him." Danni said looking down.
Bill lifted her chin.
"If Mark can't see how special you are to hell with him." Bill said
Danni hugged him.
"Thanks Bill." Danni said.
"Hey I'm just telling the truth. There's a ton of guys around here dying to date you, but you won't give them a second look." Bill said.
"Like who?" Danni asked.
"Well Matt Hardy." Bill said.
"Yuck." Danni said.
"Okay, RVD." Bill said.
"Huh uhh he's not my type." Danni said.
"Shawn Michaels." Bill said.
"Nope." Danni said.
"See?" Bill said.
"See what?" Danni asked.
"You won't even look at another guy, besides Mark." Bill said.
"It's not that, I'm just not interested in those guys." Danni protested.
"Okay Danni, but if that jackass upsets you, I'm going to hurt him." Bill said.
"You worry too much papa bear." Danni said teasing him.
Bill threw his arm around her.
"Nobody better not mess with my girl." Bill said grinning.
Danni just laughed. She was happy she had stuck around long enough to become friends with Bill.
Mark came in the arena. God it was good to be back.
"Hey Mark." Glen said.
"Hey man what's up?" Mark asked.
"Not much same old shit." Glen said.
"I hear you got Triple H for your returning match." Glen said.
"Yea, I got to go to the planning meeting here shortly and see what they got worked out for us." Mark said.
"Okay, I'll see you later." Glen said.
Mark walked to the back and found his dressing room to dump his stuff. He sat down and closed his eyes. He couldn't help but think of Danni. He wondered if she was working. Every night he dreamed of her sweet little body moving under his.
Stop it Mark he told himself. She has no interest in you or she wouldn't have left ya lying there. Mark told himself.
Danni was sitting in the cafeteria with Bill, Jeff, Trish and RVD. They were having some lunch.
"I gave her a good talking to Jeff she's not going anywhere." Bill told Jeff.
"Good I'm glad you can talk some sense in her she never talks to me." Jeff said
"Oh both of you be quite, I do what I want." Danni said elbowing Jeff in the side.
Jeff grabbed her and put her in a headlock.
"Now who's the boss brat?" Jeff asked laughing.
"Let me go Jeff when I get loose I'm going to kick your ass!" Danni yelled.
Trish, Rob, and Bill were laughing at them.
Just then Mark, Triple H, and Glen walked in and sat down. Mark saw her as soon as he walked in. If anything she was more beautiful. She had on a tank top and a pair of baggy over alls and her hair was wild and curly as usual.. Damn she looked good Mark thought. All right Mark get a grip and stop staring he told himself.
Bill finally got up and broke the two of them up.
"Damn kids can't take them anywhere." Bill said laughing.
He set Danni on his lap.
"Stay on this side of the table and keep your hands to yourself." Bill said.
Danni just laughed and grabbed her soda and took a drink.
"So what are we doing after the show?" Jeff asked.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going back to my room and going to bed." Danni said.
"Damn girl, your starting to act like and old lady." Jeff teased.
Danni threw a French fry at Jeff.
He just laughed and ate it.
"I'm tired and it's been a long day, Jeffy, unlike some people who only work 15 minutes a day, I have to do real work." Danni said.
"Hey I do real work, you try wrestling and I'll do your job for the day." Jeff said.
Bill rolled his eyes these two never stopped.
Mark was watching out of the corner of his eye. So she had hooked of with Goldberg. She worked fast. He was good and steaming and didn't really know why. Hell she wasn't nothing to him. He turned back to the guys and tried to ignore Danni.
Danni glanced across the room and her breath caught. It was Mark. God he looked so good. He heart beat picked up and she felt dizzy. What in the hell was wrong with her? Shit her mind was spinning. Maybe she should go over and say hello.
"Danni what's wrong?" Bill asked seeing the look on her face.
Jeff pointed to Mark and caught Bill's eye.
Bill looked over, oh he was back.
"I think I'll go over and say hi." Danni said standing up. Go ahead Danni it's now or never Danni told herself and started across the room.
