Chapter 4.
As Gaby walked down the corridor leaving for the hotel, she noticed that the crew was starting to take everything down. "Good," Gaby thought, "No more cameras to worry about. She was still embarrassed about Eric & Coach walking in on their intimate moments.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the "Lionheart" Chris Jericho. What's up Irvine?" Gaby Said with a smile.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't my little Doc. How are you sweetheart?" He said as he gave Gaby a hug.
"What the hell do you mean 'Sweetheart'?" A voice boomed from behind them.
"Just what I said Junior. She's my little Doc."
"What the hell is he talking about, Gaby?"
"When you saw me earlier didn't you wonder where I'd been? Well, I used to work at WCW, & when it got bought out, I went to work at Shawn Michaels' Wrestling Academy, and I haven't seen Chris since WCW."
"Well, why did he call Doc?"
"Because I worked there as the medic. Everyone called me Doc. Except for Kevin Nash- he called me 'Babydoll' & & Chris called me sweetheart. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Yeah, actually I do."
"Well, I'm sorry that you have a problem, but your just gonna have to deal with it. Irvine was my best friend in WCW, & that's how I want it to be here. If you make me mad, & I want to talk to someone to about it, I have Chris."
"There are plenty of Divas! Why don't you talk to one of them?" Glen asked.
"Because none of them will call you an assclown & tell her that she can do way better than you!" Chris interjected.
"Oh, yeah, like who?" Glen questioned.
"Well, ME for instance." Gaby looked at Chris with a slight look of shock, she had almost forgotten that he was even there.
"What? What does that me-" Chris cut Gaby off before she could finish her sentence. "We'll talk later. I'm in room 453. Stop by." He whispered in her ear just before he turned around and left.
"What's your problem?" Gaby asked Glen.
"You're my girlfriend, & I should be the only one who has pet names for you."
"Well, I hate to break it to you, but everyone that is here from WCW, has a nickname for me, & anyone that knows me through Mark - which is pretty much everyone here- has a nickname for me. So, you're just gonna have to get over it."
"You know what, how about I get over us? Oh, wait, I already am!" He shouted back.
"Good! So am I!" She yelled back at Glen as she stormed out of the arena and headed for the hotel.
AT THE HOTEL
*Knock knock*
"Coming." Chris called from inside.
"Wow! I should come to your hotel room late at night more often!" Gaby commented when Chris opened the door soaking wet wearing nothing but a towel.
"Yeah you should. Come in and have a seat." Chris said with a laugh as he went into the bathroom and put on a pair of boxers. Gaby walked in and took a seat at the little table on the other side of the bed.
"I didn't think you'd be here this soon, so I took a shower." Chris said as he re-emerged from the bathroom.
"Yeah, I didn't either, but Glen & I got into a fight after you left, & we broke up."
"Really?" Chris asked excitedly. "I mean, that's horrible. Why?"
"Because people other than him have sweet nicknames for me. You call me 'sweetheart', Shane McMahon calls me 'sweetcheeks', Kevin calls me 'babydoll', and Shawn Michaels calls me 'Shorty'. He just couldn't handle it. So, when I got to the hotel, I already had my bags from the arena, by the way, can I stay here?"
"Well, #1, that is a dumb reason to breakup with anybody, and #2, of course you can stay here. What kind of best friend would I be if I turned you out on the street?"
"A pretty shitty one. Oh, back to our conversation from earlier. What did you mean?"
"What are you talking about?" Chris asked.
"Earlier when you said that you were better for me than Glen was."
"What are you talking about? I never said that." Chris said with a very confused look on his face.
"Oh," Gaby said sounding disappointed, "Nevermind."
"I'm kidding!" Chris said trying to cheer Gaby up. "I meant it. I am better for you than he is. I've liked you for way longer than he has."
"Why didn't you tell me?
"I didn't think that you felt the same way." Chris said as he looked down at his hands, a little embarrassed that he just revealed his crush.
"Hey Chris, you wanna know a secret?"
