Title: It's Just A Crush
After Smackdown is over I go to find my uncle. He informs me that we are going to drive to the next city tonight so we don't have to worry about it in the morning, we can just sleep in. When we walk outside Mark is already leaning against the car. " It's about time the two of you got here. I was just going to leave both you're sorry asses." I throw my stuff in the car and go smack Mark on the arm. " You would never leave me here. I bring too much joy into your life." I look at Mark fully expecting him to say something back to me kidding around but instead he wraps his arm around my shoulder. " You're right darlin, I don't know what I would do without you. Now get your cute ass into the car." I smile at him and climb into the backseat.
Mark climbs into the drivers seat and pulls out of the parking lot. He tells me we have about a four-hour drive ahead of us. " So does that mean considering the way you drive we'll be there in two hours?" He glares at me in the rear view mirror and my uncle starts cracking up. " Go ahead Glenn keep laughing. Just remember she's your niece so you need to keep her in line." Now it's my turn to glare. I jump when my phone starts to vibrate in my pocket. I look at the caller id and smile. " Hey handsome, what can I do for you?" I hear laughter on the other end of the phone. " Well Chloe since I have an audience I don't think I can tell you what I would really like for you to do for me. Besides Hunter is giving me some pretty scary looks. Anyway the reason I called is because after tomorrow night we all have three days off. I'm heading home to Texas and I'm inviting some people down for a party. I wanted to ask you before you made other plans. So sweetheart think you can handle the heartbreak kid for a few days? Oh and before you answer Hunter has told me to tell you he will also be at the party, in case that will help you decide."
I start laughing. " Well Shawn I was going to say yes I'll come but since Hunter is going to be there I think I may have to turn down the invitation." I listen as Shawn repeats what I said to Hunter, and then I hear some colorful language from Hunter. " Shawn tell him I will be there before he has a coronary." Before Shawn hangs up he tells me to also extend the invitation to my uncle and Mark. I hang up and slide my phone back into my pocket. I relay the message to Mark and my uncle about the party. When I look up I see Mark's eyes staring at me in the mirror. " Mark I think it would be a good idea if you kept your eyes on the road and not on me. Even though I have to admit I am pretty damn sexy." When my uncle starts to laugh I lean up and smack the back of his head. " I'll have you know that Jimmy Johnson thinks I sexy. Hell we even, oh wait you weren't supposed to know about that, never mind uncle Glenn." My uncle turns around in his seat to look at me. " Chloe Thompson I suggest you finish that sentence right now or you will be sorry." Damn it I've just dug myself a pretty deep hole. I look up and notice Mark trying to look like he isn't listening to every word being said.
" Well you see uncle Glenn, um you know Jimmy and we were both at this party one time and um he gave me a ride home and well uh." My uncle's stare doesn't waver and he just continues to glare at me. " Wait a minute I'm twenty years old I don't have to explain myself to you. What happened between Jimmy and I is nobody's business." My uncle gives a big sigh before speaking. " Your right Chloe it is nobody's business but I've always hated that kid and the way he stared at you. You're old enough now to make your own decisions about the men you see but so help me if any of them make you cry I will make them cry and beg for their mommy's, got me?" I lean up over the front seat and give my uncle a kiss on the cheek. " Oh course uncle Glenn, besides who in their right mind wouldn't be afraid of Kane and his big bad brother the Undertaker?" I look at Mark out of the corner of my eye to see him smiling. I feel pretty tired so I ask the guys if its ok if I go to sleep. I know all about the code of the road and you're not supposed to fall asleep but I just feel so out of it. Mark tells me to lie down and get some rest.
I start to wake up and snuggle into the warmth I feel. When I feel someone run their hand through my hair I open my eyes. I wake up to see Mark staring at me. I look down and realize we are both in a bed and I am lying with my head on his chest. I sit up and realize we have already arrived at the hotel. " How the hell did I end up here?" I smile the twinkle of amusement in Mark's eyes. " Well darlin, once we got here I tried to wake you up but you weren't going to budge. I debated on whether I should leave you in the car but I just didn't have the heart. So while Glenn checked us in I carried you into the lobby. We're in your room right now. Glenn is in our room; he was so beat he went right to bed. I told him I would stay with you till you woke up so you wouldn't freak out and now that you have been informed I can go to bed."
Mark gets up out of the bed and leans down to kiss me. I arch my mouth up to his but instead he kisses me on the forehead. When I open my eyes I start to blush when I realize what I just did. Mark runs his finger down the side of my cheek. " Now baby I thought we decided to work on being friends right now and if I were to kiss you right now the way I want to kiss you it would be anything but friendly. Now go get ready for bed and I will see you in the morning." Once Mark approaches the door he stops walking and just keeps his hand on the doorknob. He doesn't even turn around to face me. " Um before I leave I just wanted to say something. When we go to Texas for Shawn's party I was wondering if you wanted to stay at my house with me. You don't have to answer me right now you can sleep on it. Goodnight Chloe." With that said he opens the door and walks out, never looking back at me.
Review as always.
