Chapter 19
It's Monday Night Raw after the pay-per-view…I just saw Mark and Sara walk into his dressing room hand in hand…When Mark saw me, he winked at me and I hid a smile towards him, cause I saw Sara watching me…I walked into Trish and Marks dressing room and She said, "So are you wrestling tonight?" I said, "Yea, it's against Lisa (Ivory)…we have everything worked out…" Trish said, "Good…so have you heard from Paul since last night's pay-per-view kiss?"
I said, "Yea, actually he asked a few questions, but I did most of the talking…" she said, "So did you work things out?" I said, "I dunno…I guess you'll find out as soon as I do…I told him what I thought and what he could expect if he get himself pulled together so I'd hopefully like to hear something from him tonight." Mark said, "Do you think he'll show up?" I said, "I don't have a clue…you guess is pretty much as good as mine." Mark said, "Do you want him to show up?" I said, "I would love it."
We sat there a little while longer just talking…my locker room was down the hall, and I said, "I'd better go get ready for my match with Lisa." Trish said, "I'll walk you down, Mark is leaving for his match against Glenn, so I don't want to sit in here by myself…" I laughed and said, "Okay…" Trish gave Mark a quick kiss and we were walking down the hall way…I didn't even notice the shadowy figure standing down the hall in front of my dressing room…but we were still like 60 feet away, but Trish saw him right away…and we were talking and the closer we got the more apparent it became that she knew who it was…Trish was in the midst of a sentence when she figured out who the shadow was…and just sort of stopped in her tracks…
She was saying, "No Sammy is doing really good, she's getting so…" I said, "She's getting so? Try finishing the sentence this time…Trish… {noticing she wasn't next to me, I looked behind me and went back}…Trish you okay?" She said, "Michelle…look." She pointed down the hallway, and I followed her finger…and there was Paul, in his jeans, steel toes, GAME t-shirt and his ½ jean, ½ leather jacket on…his hair left down still wet from an obvious shower…his chest was a little bigger, obviously from still going to the gym while he was gone…I said, "You'll forgive me for leaving you here right?" Trish said, "You gotta do what you gotta do girl…" I ran down the hall towards Paul and about half way there, Trish yelled down the hallway "WOO…GO GET HIM GIRL!!"
The tears build up in my eyes and when I got to him, we threw our arms around each other and he just held me…he leaned over and picked up me to be level with him, and I touched his face and said, "Are you really back?…for good?" Paul said, "Yea, I'm back, if you'll let me back in your life…I know I've been missing for a long time, and I don't want to be missing anymore." That's when the tears were released and they slid down my cheeks, Paul touched my face and said, "What are the tears for?" I said, "I've just missed you so much, you'll never know how much."
Paul said, "I think I have a small idea…I love you so much Michelle, promise me, you'll never leave me, no matter how bad it gets, even if we are fighting, we'll always make sure we say sorry before we go to sleep that night…I can't bare to have to live my life without you…I would have no life without you…cause you are my life." I said, "I love you Paul." He said, "I love you too Chelle." We stood there kissing in the hallway and I could hear Trish down at the end of the hallway screaming and whistling…when everyone saw us down there, they started whistling too…Just feeling Paul's hands on my body felt good, and I practically melted away in his arms.
Things were definitely different between me and Paul…we did a lot of talking the first couple of weeks after he got back…Paul said he should of never left and should have also just let me help, cause he knew I could of helped…The first night we made love again, I ended up crying…I freaked Paul out, and he said, "What's wrong baby…Are you okay?" I said, "Yes…I just feel weird being with you again after all this time we've been apart." Paul caressed me in his arms and tried to make me more comfortable.
