Chapter Thirteen
(The Meeting)
* Well I made it thanks to Takers fast thinking he called and had the limo waiting for us as we got ready. It's also a good thing for him that he keeps extra clothes in his bag so at least this way we don't have to go to the hotel for him to change. He also turned on his cell and finally got the call from Linda to be here for this meeting too. God even though he is across the room talking to Ron and Vince right now I can feel him staring at me through the corner of his eye. And Damn it if I'm not doing the same damn thing. Oh well I guess that I'm just hooked. I need coffee so at least why I get it me back will be to him. We are waiting on Linda who had to take a phone call. There are about twelve of the writing staff here along with Vince, Linda and J.R. plus Taker and me. Wow to think just two day's ago I was a part time worker who didn't know were next months rent was coming for but now. SHIT. Damn it Mark you just scared me to death and now every eye in the place is watching me. And you are standing there smiling down at me as I try to get my heart for racing right out of my chest. Of all things pinching me god I am so going to get even with you. *
Mark: Are you ok Lil or did something happen?
Lilah: No nothing happened just spilled a little coffee is all.
* A little damn I damn near spilled half the cup. And you are still standing there with that damn smug smile on your face. Well Big guy lets see if you still have that smile on your face later. *
Mark: Are you sure you kind of jumped and swore?
Lilah: Like I said just spilled some coffee on myself is all.
Mark: Maybe you shouldn't be drinking caffeine.
Lilah: That's right or maybe I should get more sleep at night.
Mark: Well maybe..
* Oh thank god Linda just came in and asked if everyone would have a seat. It seems as if something has come up so this has to be a fast meeting. I'm glad because I want to see Chance as soon as he gets here. Which should be sometime with in the hour. I really missed him being this is only the second time that he has stayed anywhere without me. And the first time was with Mrs. O'Mallory when I was studying for my writing finals. I talked to him this morning and he was having a blast with Ricky and Glen. I'm glad because I know that he needs men in his life too. Oh shit Mark has just but his hand on my knee making me jump and once again spilling my coffee on my hand. He is laughing and once again I am blushing and on top of that everyone in the room is watching me. *
Linda: Are you all right Lilah?
Lilah: Oh I'm fine just spilled a little coffee is all.
* Don't look at him because if you do you are only going to start blushing even more. And damn it how the hell do I get him to move his hand without everyone noticing where it is resting. Good Linda get down to business so that I can get out of here. Oh my god tell me that not what I just heard. Now everyone is looking at me and I can feel my face getting hotter and hotter. I know that they are waiting for me to respond but I'm not sure if I can. *
Linda: Lilah?
Vince: I think that we shocked her dear. Mark what do you think could you pull off as if you and Lilah are involved out there?
Mark: Well Vince I can do anything that you want but what exactly are you talking about?
* Oh I am so going to kill him. First they want us to seem as if maybe we are having a relationship. Oh god that is what we are having. But anyway I don't know if I could do that in front of the cameras and now he wants Vince to go into what they want. I am so going to kill him when I get him alone. *
Vince: Well Mark and Lilah it would have to be some small things like little looks, kisses, hand holding and things like that.
Linda: I think that in most cases we would leave it up to Lilah and you Mark as to how you want to play it. That is if Lilah is willing to do it. I really think that Glen is right and that you to have something out there in the ring.
* Glen? God I am so going to get him too. He knew that Mark and I have a thing. Shit and now everyone is waiting for me to talk and I'm not even sure if I can. And damn it Mark still hasn't moved his hand and I can feel the heat of him right though it. Damn well here goes nothing I guess that I will just let my heart talk and not my head. But I think I will put Mark on the spot for a few seconds first. *
Lilah: Well Linda I really do like playing Velocity but I'm not sure if there are any sparks between her and The Undertaker. I mean maybe Kane but Taker.
* Damn I can tell that both Linda and Vince are trying not to laugh. Oh well here goes nothing because Mark it's pay back time. Oh god he is looking at me with that damn twinkle in his eye. I started this but I know he is going to finish it. Oh well I might as well go ahead and do it. *
Lilah: I just don't know if The Undertaker could oh heck what is the word I'm looking for?
J.R.: How about light your fire?
* God everyone is laughing and Mark is so going to kill me but oh well. *
Lilah: Yeah Jim I guess that is what I mean.
Mark: Oh so you don't think The Undertaker could light Velocity fire?
Lilah: Well Mark I guess I just don't know if I'm that good of an actress. I mean I'm really just a writer and all.
* Oh my god please just open up a hole in the floor and let me fall through. I can't believe he is doing this. I can't believe that he just grabbed me and is kissing me right here in front of everyone. Hell I can't believe that I am responding. Umm. Wow. Shit. Oh god and now I'm kissing him back and I can't even stop myself. Oh no big guy I am not going to open my mouth for you and that wicked tongue of yours. And Mark I don't care how hard you nip or lick my lips. Oh my god every eye in the room is on us. I am so going to fucking kill him later. But shit he does kiss great. Damn Lilah concentrate already. *
Mark: I don't know I think we could pull it off what about you Lil? Or maybe there are some sparks for real.
* Oh great now everyone in the room is laughing. I hope I just pulled off the sweetest smile I could. *
Lilah: Well actually Mark, honey maybe I am a better actress then I thought.
Vince: Owww. Damn that one has had to sting Mark.
* Now everyone is howling with laughter. Oh god I am so going to get it just by the look in his eye. He smells so good to and I love that he is hugging me. Oh I can't believe that he just whispered in my ear that he is so going to tan my bottom later for that comment. Shit I wonder if he will? Who knows it might even be fun. Shit I have got to get away from this man or else get my mind out of the gutter. *
Linda: What do you think Lilah?
Lilah: Sure Linda I think that I can do it. If Mark wants to that is?
Mark: Sure why not it could be interesting for the bad ass to have a girl friend.
Linda: Good then Lilah you work with Ron on it and then get ready for tonight's show. Mark after they get tonight done then you and Glen can go over everything with her.
Mark: All right. Did you assign Lil a dressing room yet?
Linda: Oh damn I forgot. Would you and Glen mind if she shared yours?
Mark: I wouldn't mind and I doubt if Glen would. Glen has the boys so we will walk down and check.
Linda: Good. Then Lilah you get with Ron but Ron lets wing most of tonight just to see if they can.
Ron: All right Linda. Lilah why don't you meet me in about an hour in the writing room.
Lilah: Sure Ron.
Vince: All right then everyone get going and do what you have to do for tonight's show.
* Everyone gets up to leave but Vince stops me to tell me that Linda has hired a limo to be at my house tomorrow morning at 5:30 a.m. to pick me and Chance up so that we can meet the bus at the hotel. God I can't believe this is all happening but yet there is something else. Damn there is that old doom and gloom. I have got to learn to put it all behind me because it's not like there is anything I can do about it. I can see Mark standing just outside the door talking to Ron. He keeps glancing at me and smiling. I love that smile and can't help but smile back. Damn I really just wanted to go and see Chance but the girl from wardrobe just came and grabbed me before we could walk to Mark and Glen's dressing room. The head wardrobe person needed me to try on what Linda picked for me to wear just in case that they needed to do any adjustments to it. Mark is such a sweet heart he is going to get Chance and then bring him down so that I can see him after my meeting with Ron. We then will grab some dinner with Chance before I have to go and get my hair and make-up done for tonight. This day is starting to just fly by but then I guess that I will just have to live with it because I am loving it too. *
Author Notes: Please if you read it review it. I would really like to know if it is making any sense. This is a different writing style for me and I'm not sure that I like it. I am thinking of re-writing this story in a style that I think I do better. So please let me know what you think.
