~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I sit here at the end of the bed, and you dare ask me this question? You ask me what I think is Tori's best asset? How could you ask such a thing? How can you make me pick only one specific feature? I scoff at you, for Tori, or any woman for that matter, you can never pick just one asset. Everything about Tori is magical, her body, her mind, even her shadow. But then again, a guy like me would say that right?

With the kind of monster I am, it would be a miracle that I even had a girl right? But I do have a girl, no correction, I don't have a girl, I have a goddess. That is what she was in my eyes. I may hide my face behind a mask, but I can still see the world. And the only thing I saw in the world was her. I didn't care about anything else. I didn't care about all the shit that was happening around me, I didn't care about the drama, the bad news, or even the good news. All I saw was her. That exotic smile of hers, that seductive look in her eyes, the strong hold of her body. Yes, everything else was a blur, but she was the only concrete image in my mind.

Now back to your question. If I must choose one asset, I think her best feature is her gentleness. What, you laugh at me? Ok, I'll admit, if someone put the word gentle and Tori in the same sentence, I probably would have laughed. Tori being gentle would have seemed like saying Molly was a dominatrix. It was that different. I never liked Tori, hell I never liked any woman. Back in my day, I kept to myself, I wanted to be alone. The only person I let in was my brother the Undertaker. I used to think he was the only one I could trust. He was my blood, so he was literally the only person who would understand my pain.

But after meeting Tori, I found out that that revelation was wrong. I was a monster, driven by anger and rage, fury and no remorse. I didn't care if women and children were in my way, I was destructive. But then there she was. I wanted to beat her for being in my way and as a matter of fact I did. I was going through a bad depression bout at the time and Vince told me to just kill anything in my path. I beat the crap out of wrestlers and I scared backstage workers, and when that didn't satisfy me, I got angrier. And for some reason, I just went to the ring during her match and I grabbed Sable, that bitch and choke slammed her.

It didn't satisfy me, so I grabbed Tori as well. Instead of kicking and screaming, she just looked at me and said to me that I should do what I think is best. I remember cocking my head to the side and listening to what she had said. I didn't care so I just choke slammed her, not once, but twice. Later during my match, I got the crap beat out of me by Triple H and Shawn Michaels, and the whole DX. I sat in my hotel room, and she knocked on my door.

She tended to my wounds when I wouldn't let anybody else touch me. I thought it was odd, hours earlier I assaulted this women and now here she was, taking care of me. Her touch was gentle, but hands were soft, but she didn't speak. Maybe she was afraid, or maybe she didn't know what to say. I didn't care, I wasn't much of a talker anyway. Everybody else thought that I couldn't even speak. When she was finished she went to take my mask off. I immediately pulled back, not wanting to let her see my horrid face. But her gentle voice assured me it was all right.

After much persuasion I let her take off my mask. I had closed my eyes tightly, afraid of her reaction. But she didn't scream or cower, and I didn't hear her gasp. I had opened my eyes and she was still there, a smile on her face. She traced my scars lightly and whispered that I looked adorable. I think I was blushing because I was turning red. And she bent forward and she kissed me. A woman, an actual woman had kissed me. I felt loved, I felt privileged to be in the presence of this woman.

Ever since that day, I tried to back away from Tori, but she wouldn't have it. She would come to me with that smile and assure me she cared out me. After a while I just gave in. She was gentle with me, which I thought was remarkable. Of all the divas, Tori was the least one I thought could be gentle. Sure, she was far from Molly, but she was nothing like Luna or Sable. Strange I always thought, a woman like her being gentle.

Her touch to me was like that of an angel. My brother laughed at me when I said that. I did after all consider hell the loveliest place on earth, and here I was talking about angels. These scars I have, she doesn't run away from them. She stays by my side and proudly says she is my girlfriend. I often lay in bed at night and wonder why she is with me. Why was she with a man that hid his face, when she could have one of the sexier men, like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Edge or anybody for that matter. At least they showed their face.

I had confronted her about it, but she just smiled and said she only wanted me. But I still pushed her and asked why, what was it about me that she wanted that she couldn't get from somebody else. I remember that day. Her tough façade aside, I lay on the bed and she straddled my hips. She had told me that she felt that I respected her and I assured her that I did. She told me that when I touched her, she felt protected, when I kissed her she felt complete and that she could feel that I don't look at her like a piece of meat.

It made me appreciate the things in life after my relationship with Tori. That smile she shot my way when I passed her set me at ease and a plain soft peck on my lips right before a match already made me feel like a champion. I may still hide my face behind a mask, but only I know how I feel when she is around me. I may still be insecure around other people, but around her, I am the king of the world.

In my opinion on of the best couples ever portrayed on WWE television. I was kinda upset when she left him for X pac, but she still kicked ass!
