Such Is Life
Part 17
He dragged me to the door of the arena and we ran out into the cold air of the morning and screamed! We jumped up and down and shouted and cheered, we must have looked like esacped lunatics but we didn't care one bit at the glances from the people passing us, none of them mattered. Chris had his job and we were going to start living again!
He explained to me that Eric wanted him to start the following day and they would be moving on so we had to follow to the next town and he would pay for our hotel again that night! My head was spinning, I couldn't take it all in! Not only was he about to sign with WcW but he wasn't going to be developmental either, he was having 2 weeks to get back into the swing of things then he was going straight onto Nitro! It was unbelieveable! My Chris the superstar, I knew in my heart he was destined for it but nothing had prepared me for the feeling I had right then, I was so proud of him I didn't want to let him go when we got back to the car!
We went to the hotel and, as instructed by Eric, waited in the lobby for him to get there with the newly drawn up contract. We only waited about an hour when he turned up. He took us into the restaurant and bought us lunch, we were starving and had to eat our food as though we had had breakfast when in actual fact we hadn't eaten much for the last week. It was torture, I wanted to stuff it into my mouth and ask for more but we managed to keep it together long enough to get the contract signed and get back to the room. He'd given Chris $500 advance, $500 was the most money I'd seen since Shawn put the wad of notes in my hand, we felt like millionaires! If I live to be a hundred I have to say that day will always be one of the best days of my life!
Chris eyed the beer in his hand as though it was a gold plated bottle when room service arrived! I sat on the bed beside him as he drank it almost in one gulp. "Beer!" He smiled and I laughed.
"Yeah! How totally awesome is this man?" I lay back on the bed, with my stomach full for the first time in months and a contented smile on my face. "You did it!" I giggled.
"Yeah! Dig it!" Chris lay back beside me smiling. "Can you believe we are in a hotel room? A real hotel room and eating food and drinking Beer? Real god damn beer?" He laughed and rolled over on top of me! "Smell my breath!" he breathed on me and I wrinkled up my nose.
"EEEW! DUDE!"
"Yeah BEER man!" He kissed me and we both laughed again. "Do I smell like a drunk old man?" He smiled.
"Yeah you smell like my ..." I stopped and got up off the bed.
"What?"
"Nothing! You stink of beer there are you happy now?" I smiled, "Drunk old man!" I shoved him playfully."And what is this about us being engaged by the way!?" I laughed, "I almost fell through the damn floor!"
"Ah well yeah sorry about that! I just thought it would make me look more..."
"Mature?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Yeah I guess....and erm...it meant that I didn't have to actually 'ask' you!"
"Ask me?"
"Well I figured maybe when I get sorted we might be able to afford a ring and...."
"Be still my beating heart was that a proposal?" I laughed and Chris blushed slightly.
"Kinda, I mean if you want?"
I bit on my lip and smiled, "You're serious?"
"Damn serious!" He held me close to him as we stood in the middle of the room. "So," He cleared his throat, "Will you marry me? I mean eventually, well I mean.."
I burst out laughing, "Yes! Yes Romeo I will, eventually!" I smiled and he kissed me.
"For real?"
"No I'm kidding!" I slapped his chest, "Of course for real you dork!"
"Man this has been THE best day ever!" He laughed.
"Yeah it has hasn't it?" I smiled, "Now, I'm gonna have another one of those deep bubble baths! You comming in with me again?"
"Need you ask?" He jumped up and grabbed me around the waist as he carried me into the bathroom. As I ran the water he went back intothe bedroom and came back in with two bottles of beer which we opened as we soaked inthe tub. I'll never forget the words he said as we made a toast; "Here's to life and tomorrow we actually start living it!" How right he was.
