Lost, Confused, Unkind (Sequel To "Freaked")
Chapter 17
I had no chance to speak to Jeff alone for a good few hours! We'd arrived in Boston, checked in at the hotel & then headed straight to the arena. Once we got there the guys were straight into work so I was left to my own devices once again. I sat in one of the empty seats in the arena to watch them going through their match plans. I still felt uneasy, as thought I was being watched constantly & I was so convinced that I kept turning around to check behind me! I sat alone for around 15 minutes before a familiar and more than welcome face wandered up the steps towards me!
"Hello again!"
"Hi Dwayne!" I beamed, so glad of the company!
"Mind if I join you?"
"Please do!" I gestured to the empty seat beside me, "I was starting to feel a little isolated with all these empty seats around me!"
Dwayne smiled, "Yeah it can get like that I guess when Matt's working! I know what it was like sitting here injured, that was bad enough!"
"Yeah I can imagine it was a little worse then me whining on about being lonely!" I smiled & he laughed.
"So how long are you in America for?"
"Oh a couple of years! If I ever go back at all!"
Dwayne raised his eyebrows, "Oh I see!" he grinned, "You and Matt erm.." he winked & I realized what he meant & laughed!
"Married? Good God no! I doubt that very much! It's kind of early days to be going there!" I laughed & looked out at Matt in the ring getting what looked to be a severe beating from his younger brother! "No I mean I don't really want to go back to England, I don't have that much to go home for!"
"No family? Friends?"
"Well yeah but…..oh it's a long story! Stuff….well stuff happened y'know?"
He nodded, "Hmmm I know stuff & boy do I know how it can happen!"
I laughed & he just smiled at me & winked. "What time is show time tonight?" I said trying to change the subject.
"Around 7:30 I think!"
"You got as match tonight?"
"I do indeed!" he smiled, "You met Brock Lesnar? Big guy, HUGE guy? Looks like the Russian from the Rocky movies?"
I laughed, "Yeah I've met Brock alright! I kinda bumped into him!"
"Ah right, well it's not him!" I laughed even harder! "I'm wrestling Kurt tonight!"
"Oh right!" I said, still giggling! "Nice guy Kurt!"
"Nice gu…NICE GUY!?"
I nodded, "Yeah he's…"
"Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! WOAH!" I sat back in my seat, a little shocked at first, until I realized I was about to be treated to one of the Rock's famous promos!!
"See it's like this! Kurt Angle…the world's biggest piece of Olympic crap the world has ever seen! Is tonight about to get the BIIIIGEST beating the world has ever seen!" I bit on my lip to try to stop the smile that was threatening to show!!
"Kurt Angle, you can drink all the milk you want! Eat vitamins like Paul Heyman eats M&M's but the fact of the matter is this….Kurt Angle.." (He whispered the 'Kurt Angle' part & I bit on my lip for reasons known only to myself & God! Damn this guy was gorgeous!!)
"…When you step into the ring tonight The Rock is gonna turn you upside down INSIDE out! You won't know your head from your ass, which is a problem the rest of the world has had with you for a looooong time!" I burst out laughing at that point!!
"My God! I wish I'd had the damn camcorder!!"
He laughed! "So you think it's ok then?"
"Well yeah I think it's…"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!!"
I jumped & then laughed so much tears ran down my face & my cheeks ached!! "Enough! Enough!" I said through my laughter!
"Ok ok I'll put him away until showtime I promise!" he smiled.
"Aww man it's been a long time since I laughed so much I can tell you that!"
"Well if you're going to be on the road for a while we can do it on the camcorder sometime!" Then his eyes widened, "The promo! I mean The Rock thing! For Jake!"
"I knew what you meant!!" I giggled.
"What's goin on up here?" Matt said as he came up the steps wiping his face on a towel.
"Matt! Hey man how's it goin?" Dwayne stood up & they shook hands.
"Hey Dwayne!"
"Yeah Dwayne's here now but if you'd come up here about 2 minutes ago you would have been shaking hands with The Rock!" I laughed. Matt leaned down & kissed the top of my head.
"Oh right! That's what all the giggling was about up here! Man I hate that guy!" Matt smiled, "Rocky gets all the chicks!! You should keep him under control around Bec in future Dwayne!" Matt winked!
"Yeah yeah!" Dwayne waved it away, "I'll keep taking the pills I know! I know!!" we all laughed.
"Listen Bec I'm gonna go & take a shower ok?"
"sure Matt no worries!"
"Yeah well if you guys are finished down there I guess I should let Rocky out of his box for a practise run!" Dwayne stood up. "Oh by the way Bec where are you sitting for the show?"
"Um I don't know I just usually find an empty seat!"
"Right well you're sitting right down there at ringside to keep my guest company!" he smiled.
"Sure! Great! I hate sitting on my own anyway! Who's your guest? Your wife?"
"Nope, Brendan's in town so he's coming along to watch me in action!"
"Oh right, who's Brendan?"
"Brendan? Brendan Fraiser? Y'know the guy? He was in the Mummy, Mummy returns…."
My jaw dropped, "California man, Monkey Bone, Blast from The Past, Bedazzled, Geaorge Of the Jungle….."
"Oh great!" Matt rolled huis eyes, "I've lost her now!!"
