***Chapter 10***
It's been two weeks since the last time I said anything to Paul, which was really unlike us, we were constantly talking, if not in person then on the phone…So the people who were writing my wrestling scripts decided they wanted me to win the WWE Women's Champion belt…No one knew except me and the girl who had it at the time, which was Molly Holly (Nora) …She had told my writer's she was tired of having all the responsibilities that went with having the title, and that she wanted me to have it cause I hadn't lost a match yet and thought I deserved it more then anyone. So Molly and me worked things out and decided we'd let it be a surprise to all the other wrestlers.
By now Trish and I were sharing a dressing room with Mark in ours…When we first got to the arena, I went in and took a shower, while Trish and Mark went to the gym for an hour…When I finished my shower, I had wrapped a towel around my body, it wasn't too big of a towel, just enough to cover everything…and it was a good thing I didn't bend over cause it would of left nothing to the imagination to anyone who would of walked in at the time.
I was standing in front of the full length mirror brushing my hair, when the dressing room door swung open and Paul walked in saying, "Hey, Mark I need my…" Paul looked up and said, "Oh God…" and covered his eyes…and finished saying, "I'm sorry Michelle, I was looking for Mark…" I said, "Don't be sorry I'm not…you already know I'm not a shy person, and I'm covered up, you can uncover your eyes." Paul looked between his fingers like a little kid and said, "Are you sure?" I laughed and said, "Yes…its fine."
Paul uncovered his eyes, and was just looking at me up and down, making sure to catch all the curves of my body. I said, "Yea, stare much Paul?" He said, "Hey, this is as close to nakedness I've gotten to you, I'm just taking it all in…" And gave a little grin. I said, "Yea, well that's not my fault…if you'd just make up your mind about us, we wouldn't be standing here right now, with you trying to use your non-existent x-ray vision, to see through my towel…If we were together liked I'd hope we would be by now, you wouldn't even have to deal with the towel." Paul said, "True, but I'm not going to rush into something I may regret later." I said, "I know I wouldn't regret it, I just wish you liked me as much as I do you…" Paul said, "C'mon Michelle, that's not fair…" I said, "Yea, but what's fair?"
We stood there in silence for a couple of minutes both looking at the ground, and I said, "If you'll excuse me I have to get ready for my match…Mark is down in the gym with Trish." I walked back into the bathroom and got into my ring attire. I went with the purple…good color…I heard Paul leave and close the door behind him…
The truth was, Paul had already made up his mind about us, but was really waiting for the right time to let me in on his decision…he wasn't sure if he wanted to tell me, or not.
Anyway, I went out for the match and ended up with the WWE women's title as planned…When I walked back behind the curtain, everyone was there to congratulate me, and give me a bunch of hugs…I walked down the hall with Trish, when we walked into my dressing room it was dark except for the light in the bathroom being on…there was a figure standing in the door way of the bathroom…
I knew exactly who it was, just by the outline of the physic. It was Paul…Trish was standing next to me and when she saw the figure she knew who it was too, and said, "I'll talk to you later Chelle." I said, "Okay Trish." She left and closed the door behind her, I reached behind me and locked the door, and put my belt down on the chair, and walked over to the bathroom hallway…I was standing close enough to Paul, that I could see his face and part of his body…
