Chapter Six

(The Lunch with the Boys)

** Wow I have just read through all of the Undertaker story lines not realizing that Mark had been with the WWE or F as it was once called for over ten years now. They have changed his characters in so many ways it was wonderful just to read all of what he has done. I was going to start in to Kanes lines, which didn't have anything to do with Marks though they did cross quite a bit since Kane had joined. All of sudden I felt as if all eyes in the room were on me for some reason. I could feel that I was starting to blush and wondered why. As I started to look up I knew that he was there some where in the room too because I could almost feel him. I also knew that he was watching me to see if I knew he was there. I looked up and smiled at him as he came over and sat on the edge of the desk where I was working. He glances over to the computer to see what I was working on, and sees that I was just finishing up looking up his story lines since he came to the WWF as Mean Mark. His smiles gets even bigger and I can feel myself blushing once more in his presents. He leans over and whispers in my ear that I look good in pink. This of course only causes me to blush even more and a deep red I am sure by the heat I am feeling. A few of the people in the room look away trying not to laugh. I really appreciate it, as this is only my first day and I really didn't want to be the person with things for people gossiped about. I also notice that a few of the woman in the room are looking at me with dislike which I was sure was because of the attention that Mark was showing me. Oh well it's not like that the first time someone decided not to like me either. Hell my own Momma never liked me and she is the one that had me. But then I wasn't going to dwell on the bad at least not right now with Mark smiling down at me. He then does something that I could hit him for if I was the type to hit someone. But growing up the way I did I just wasn't going to fall into being a hitter. But like I said I wasn't going to dwell in the Bad. So I didn't hit him but could have because as he goes to back up from my ear he slowly leans forward and kisses my lip's gentle. I was so startled that I still don't remember if I kissed him back. On of the girls on the other side of the room went into a coughing spell which caused me to jump and him to roar with laughter. I tried to give him my most disapproving look that I have. It's the one that I use on Chance when he won't eat for me ore is throwing a temper fit for something in public. This only seemed to make him laugh even louder. Then it dawns on me to look at my watch and I see that I am now already five minutes late for having lunch with my son on his first day. I jump up out of my chair and would have run right past Mark if he had not grabbed my hand stopping me from going. I looked into his eyes as his question took the form of words. **

Mark: What?

Lilah: I didn't realize what time it was and now I'm late because I was supposed to pick Chance up and take him to lunch.

Mark: Ok then let's go and get him.

** I looked at him and couldn't believe what a sweetheart he was. So I walked over to Ron with Mark in toll to tell him I had to go and have lunch with my son. Ron laugh and told me to go ahead and then afterwards to just come on back. He also told me to tell the center from now on to bring Chance here at meal times to me so that this way I'd never forget about him if I got busy. I thanked him and start to walk away only to turn back to ask how much time we got for meals any way. He said normally about an hour for lunch and an hour and a half for dinner. He also told me that we didn't punch a clock around here. Then he did something so sweet because he said that being this was my first day to take an hour and a half for both meals so that I could get Chance used to it. Everyone around here was being so nice I almost felt like crying. Maybe this was what a family was supposed to feel like. So Mark walked me back to the center where the kids stayed. Occasionally we would cross paths with someone and Mark would always take the time to stop and introduce them. Some were wrestlers why others where staff. By the time we got to the center I was fifteen minutes late and there was only three children left there. One was Chance one was a little girl who's Mother came rushing in all in a flutter. She stopped and Mark introduced her as Ivory. She is one of the female wrestlers, which Mark told me are called Divas. She asked me if I was the girl who was coming in to valet for Mark. I told her no that I was a new writer. She said that I could have been the valet because I had the look. I thanked her and Mark just kept smiling. He also said that most of the Divas are really nice and nothing like their characters. The other child who was left was the boy whom Chance had seen at the beginning of the day and whom he was still play with. When the other little boy had seen Mark he came running over yelling at the top of his lungs. Uncle Mark! Mark bent down and picked him up and was swinging him around till he yelled stop. Chance came over and looked up at Mark and then hide behind my leg. He was peeking out look at Mark and his new friend but yet as if he was star struck. Which I could understand feeling because I too am still a little star struck and having a hard time trying not to be looking at him all the time. Finally he turns to Chance and me so that he can introduce the little boy in his arms. **

Mark: Lilah and Chance right?

Lilah: Yes Chance is right.

Mark: Well I would like you to meet the might midget Ricky.

Ricky: Uncle Mark don't.

Mark: Don't? Aren't you the might midget Ricky?

Ricky: No I'm the extreme highflying Rick. And I already know Chance he's my new friend. We are even going to both be wrestlers when we get old. I'm going to be like you and he's going to be like dad. But I think that he is afraid of you. But he said that his Mommy is a friend of yours.

Mark: Yes she is a friend of mine Ricky. Her name is Lilah and Chance you're not afraid of me are you?

** Chance just tightens his grip on my leg as Mark leans down and tries to talk Chance out from behind me. He is being so sweet and Chance is slowly starting to warm up to Mark and is slowly making his way around my leg to stand in front of me. But he is still holding on to my pants leg. Mark puts Ricky down next to Chance and for the first time I notice how much alike they both look. Chance is smaller but they have the same dark reddish curls to there hair. Both of which could use a hair cut too. And they both have the same intense blue coloring to their eyes. Mark notices too and smiles up at me telling me that at least Chance and Ricky don't have to look for their twins in life. Just as I am about to say that I guess not Charlene walks up to us. She tells Mark that Ricky Mom dropped him off this morning just as she was setting up for the day and she can't even find out if his Dad is here yet. Mark tells her that it's ok that we will take him with Chance and get him something to eat. She smiles and thanks us so that she too can go and get some lunch. Mark tells her that if she does see his brother to please let him know that we are in the Cafeteria. He then tells me that Ricky is Glen his half brothers child. I know from what I had just read before lunch that Glen plays the character of Kane his brother. I bend down to pick Chance up giving him a kiss while Mark picks up Ricky. We start to walk our way to the cafeteria so that we can have some lunch with the boys. Ricky is whispering something into Marks ear, which is causing him to grin. He shakes his head yes and then says out loud that yes he is right and I am very pretty. This causes me to blush, which is all I seem to be doing in the presents of him. I look down at the ground till he reaches over and puts a finger under my chin and slowly leans in and kisses me. We both stop moving and I slowly kiss him back till all of a sudden Ricky grabs onto Chance and they start messing around almost causing me to drop Chance. Mark reaches over and takes Chance from me and with a boy over each shoulder giggling we finally make it to the cafeteria. It is quite crowded as a lot of people take this time for lunch but we finally do see a booth over in the back corner so he takes the boys over and deposits them onto the seat together. After telling them not to move and if they behave he will get them a treat after lunch if they eat everything. He then tells me that if I watch our little charges that he will go and get the food. So I watch as he goes up and gets four cheeseburgers, fries and drinks. The boys are whispering back and forth and Ricky is pointing out which wrestlers are which to Chance. A few of who I can tell are checking me out. A blond with long hair stops at our table and says hi to Ricky. Ricky tells him hi Adam and then ask him if he is going to beat up his brother Jay tonight. Adam laughs and say maybe should he? Ricky says that he will think about it and let him know. He then looks over at me and ask Ricky who his friend is. Ricky of course tell him that his friend is Chance and that I'm his Mommy. Adam reaches a hand out for me to shake just as Mark returns with our food. I move over so that he can sit down. He looks up at Adam and then as nicely as he can tells him to go away. Adam laughs be does after welcoming me into the WWE. We sit there for the hour and a half before I have to return to work laughing at the boys and there silliness and Marks too. Mark tells me about some of the wrestlers who come and go and some even stop by to say hello to Chance and me. I do feel like Chance did this morning like we finally found a place that we belonged. Before I knew it time was up and I had to get back to work. I was going to take Chance back but Mark had talked me into leaving him with Ricky. He said that he was going to take the boys to find Ricky dad so that Glen would know that Ricky was there. He said that sometimes Glens wife who he was separated from right now would drop him off and not even tell Glen he was there. I could not believe that a Mother would do that. So I left Chance with Mark after giving him a kiss. Ricky wanted one too so I kissed his little cheek too. Mark then asked where his was and I wasn't about to give him a kiss in the middle of the cafeteria especially in front of all these people. So I told him he could have his later. Well I can not believe what he said to me right then. **

Mark: No.

Lilah: No?

Mark: No I want my here too.

Lilah: Mark please I don't think that would be right. Especially with all these people here.

Mark: I do. And so do the boys right?

Ricky and Chance: Yeah.

Chance: Yeah Mommy kiss the Undertaker

Ricky: Yeah kiss my Uncle Mark.

** The boys started to get a little loud and Mark just sat there smiling. Even a few of the other wrestlers in the room started to get in on the act. They start to chant kiss Mark Kiss the Undertaker. Finally I lean down and quickly kiss him on the forehead and then race for the door looking down at the ground. I'm afraid to look up because I know I am as red as can be. I swear I am going to get even with Mark for this one in some fun way. Everyone is laughing as I run for the door and right into a man or at least I think it was a man. It could have been a wall it was so solid. Well without looking up say I said that I was sorry and rush out of the room without looking back. I made it back to my desk in record time and started back into my work of the day. **
