Chapter Three

(What a Ride)

** I can't believe the way this day or this night has gone. It started out bad and then got even worst. I ended up a soaking wet looking rat on my ass in front of total strangers. Then with a kindness of those strangers when I figured all hope of a job today was over I got the job offer that is going to change my life. It is now sometime around eleven and I am now in a white stretched limo on my way home to my little apartment in the suburb of Chicago. One that as of this morning I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to keep much longer if I didn't get the job. Now I can afford to keep it and even get something bigger if I want to. But I think I will just keep it being I won't be home but for a few days here and there. Plus I love my landlady and she loves my son Chance. A man who I can not quit staring at most of the night is accompanying me home. In a way I feel that some where I have seen him before. But then if I did I can't remember where it would have been. I almost died when Linda asked him to see me home. I told her and Vince that I would be fine but they said that they would not have it, as I am the newest member of the WWE family. A Family now if that is something after all of these years. The only family that I ever thought that I would have was my beautiful blue eyed son. Mark told them that of course he would see me home so it was all decided even though I knew I would be fine. Now we are sitting in the back of this limo with some soft music going on the stereo heading toward my home. It's all set that I will bring Chance and me with the McMahon's at 10:30 tomorrow morning to sign papers and learn what I will be doing. Wrestling oh my god what do I even know about wrestling? I know that Mark say's his character is the Undertaker and that he is one half of the brothers of Destruction. But I can't even remember who he said the other half was. He keeps glancing over at me and I keep smiling back. Oh god I could really get into being with him but then as with my lack of being with men he would most likely run. Hell for that fact lets be honest I have only been with one man in my life. And I don't even know his name. Maybe if I asked he could tell me a little about the WWE plus it would take my mind off of him. **

Lilah: Mark?

Mark: Yes what can I do for you?

Lilah: Well I was hoping that maybe you could tell me a few things about the WWE.

Mark: Sure what do you want to know?

** God what do I want to know? Hell there is so much that I don't even know where to start. I sit there for a few minutes just trying to think about what I really want to know. Finally Mark just starts to laugh. He has one of those laughs that is deep and in his chest. The kind of laugh that is really very sexy. Damn this is helping at all I figure that if I could get him talking maybe that would help get my mind off of this hot almost seven foot man next to me. Finally I looked at him and smiled. I then asked the first question that I could form in my mind. I could have kicked my self when it came out of my mouth. He just laughed and then leaned down in my ear to answer me. My question for him was if it was hot to wrestle in black leather pants that Linda told me he wrestled in. His answer was that sometimes it was too hot just to sit in them so the best way not to over heat was to wear nothing underneath them. I am sure that I am blushing as I can feel the heat in my face. Thank god that it is dark in her. I can feel every hair on my neck stand up on end as I can feel the heat from his breath on my ear. He then reaches up and turns my face to his as I hold my breath. I want so badly to feel his lips on my but then I am also so afraid to too. I think he can feel me trembling because he smiles at me and lightly kisses me on the forehead. The touch of his lips on my body sends shivers of hot and cold through out my whole body. He then says the sweetest thing to me something that only one other man has ever said to me. And that is that he will never hurt me. That man is Chances dad and the man who changed my life forever by being kind to me. I smile up at him as he leans down and gentle kisses me on the lips. He then gentle traces my lips with his tongue till I open up to him completely. A shock runs through my body as if I have stuck my finger in a light fixture. Finally as we pull away I notice that we are almost to my apartment and I guess that I must have sigh to deeply because he laughs a laugh that totally fills the whole back of the limo. He then leans down and whispers into my ear something that both made my heart race and stop at the same time. He ask me if he could come up for awhile. My mouth should have said no especially since we would be seeing each other at work but for some reason my heart took over my mouth and I said yes. So we got out of the limo and Mark leaned over to the driver and told him that he was going to walk me up that he could take off and Mark would catch a cab in a little while. So as the limo drove away Mark and I went up to the front door of my apartment building. I opened the front door to the hallway and then turned to Mark after I had let him in. **

Lilah: Mark I have to stop and pick up my son. I hope you don't mind?

Mark: No not at all.

Lilah: Great.

** I just wish that I felt great because for some reason all I felt was nervous about him being here. Well I figured that after I picked up Chance I would make some coffee and then Mark, and I could talk a little. So we stop and I gentle knocked on Mrs. O'Mallory door. She answered and was mildly surprised at the man standing behind me. As we entered she all of a sudden seemed to recognize just who Mark was. Being the fan of the WWE that she was I wasn't surprised when she grabbed my arm. I turned toward her to introduce her to Mark. *

Lilah: Mrs. O'Mallory I would like you to meet Mark Callaway. Mark this is my landlady and best friend Mrs. O'Mallory.

Mark: Mrs. O'Mallory it's nice to meet you.

Mrs. O'Mallory: You're the Undertaker? Lilah he is the Undertaker?

Lilah: Yes Mrs. O'Mallory he is.

Mrs. O'Mallory: Dear how do you know the Undertaker?

Lilah: Because I got a job with the WWE and Mark here was nice enough to show me home.

Mrs. O'Mallory: Dear you went for a job with that new soap? How in heavens name did you get a job working for the WWE? And won't that mean that you will have to travel?

Lilah: Yes it will mean that but I can take Chance with me plus I can afford to keep my apartment. Plus think of all the fun that Chance will have.

Mrs. O'Mallory: Oh my god dear he will just loves it.

Lilah: Speaking of Chance I better go and get him so that I can get him to bed. We have to be at the All State Arena before 10:30 tomorrow plus we will be heading out onto the road the day after tomorrow.

** I head in and pick my sleeping son up for the bed in the spare room leaving Mark standing there talking to Mrs. O'Mallory for a few moments. I come out with Chance in my arms to see that Mark has Mrs. O'Mallory laughing so hard that she has tears in her eyes. As I head to the door Mark leans over and whispers something into her ear and then kisses her on the cheek. He then opens the door for me. I turn to her so that she can kisses Chance on the head and then she kisses me on the cheek. I almost drop Chance when she whispers into my ear that I should keep this man around. As I step out of the door Mark reaches out and takes Chance from my arms explaining that he would carry him for me so that I could open the door. Which makes sense as usually Mrs. O'Mallory would open it so that I could carry Chance. So I open up the door and flips on a light so that we can see and then leads Mark to Chances room. As he is laying Chance down he wakes up and looks into Marks face. Being afraid that Chance would be scared I lean forward so that he can see me. But to my surprise my son who is normally shy grabs Mark around the neck and kisses his cheek. He then says hey Mommy he's the Undertaker. And I tell my excited three-year-old son that I know. He then kisses me and lies down to go back to sleep. Well I figured that as soon as I turn around Mark would find a reason to leave. I mean I am sure that he doesn't want to hang around with a woman with a child. So I cover up Chance and turn on his night-light so that if he need me he can see. I then turn on his radio that he sleeps with going. I turn around to see Mark hanging around leaning on the door frame smiling. We walk out into the hallway as I close the door he leans in and kisses the back of my neck. As I turn around I know that I am going to do something I have only done once in my life before because I know that I am going to have sex with this man if he still wants to after. After this is going to be the hard part because this time at least for me is not just for the touch of another human but for him it might be. This is a chance that I am willing to take even though I'm not sure why. I slowly put my hand against him because I know that he should know a couple of things first. **

Mark: Lilah?

Lilah: Mark, there are two things that I think you should know and then if you want to we still can.

Mark: Ok? Only two things that I should know?

Lilah: Well maybe three.

Mark Okay?

Lilah: I want first to tell you that I don't usually do this.

** Well that may not be true either because I did sleep with Chance's dad the first night I met him but the different is that with Mark I was hoping that this wouldn't be just one night. I do not know if Mark knew what I was talking about but he smiled at me anyway. I guess only time would tell if anything else would develop between us. But I knew if anything made him run it would be the other thing that I had to say. **

Lilah: The other thing is that being you are only the second man I have ever been with I'm not on anything.

** He did not say anything and once again I can feel the blush creeping over me. I quickly look down at the ground only hoping that he leaves quickly and that I don't run into him too often on my new job. All of a sudden he places a finger under my chin so that I have to look up at him. He smiles down at me and lightly kisses my forehead. **

Mark: Have you really only been with one man before? Your boys father?

Lilah: Yes.

Mark: Well I haven't been with anyone since I got divorce about a year ago so I don't have anything either but if we were careful?

** I know in my heart that I should say no but what are the chances of getting pregnant the first time twice? Plus I figured that if we were careful then it would be ok. I was so nervous that I couldn't even talk. So I just smiled up at him and he leaned down and kissed me with so much passion. He then picks me up in his arms and as he does the song Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss comes on the radio. This causes me to laugh as he goes across the hall to my room. He then takes me to my bed and after undressing each other we slowly make love to the wee hours of the morning. We were as careful as we could be but for me it had been a life time without someone touch and well for Mark it had been awhile too. Sometime before day break Mark got up and I called him a cab because as much as I would have loved to sleep in his arms I did not want to have to explain him to Chance. I also didn't want to have Mrs. O'Mallory look at me with distaste. He kissed me and told me that he would see me some time in the morning at the Arena. After watching him get into the cab I go into Chances room and pull up a chair and watch him sleep. I wonder if I some how shortchanged my son by him not knowing his real father. But it wasn't something that I did on purpose as I never expected to walk away pregnant the first time. Plus being I don't know the name of the man or anything about him I couldn't tell him to begin with. So then what could I do? It was not as if I was ever going to see him again anyway. Hell for all I know he could have been married or could be by now. The only thing that I know for sure is that like Mark, he was a kind and gentle lover. **

Author Notes: Please Read and Review because with out them I don't know if the story is any good. Also just for the record I don't own Kiss or anything to do with the song Rock and Roll All Night. Also please don't think badly of Lilah as could you help yourself if you could have Kane and Taker? And if you say yes I say you lie!!! LOL Just kidding.

Thanks
