Chapter 21

By the time the nest Monday Night Raw rolled around, I was missing Paul something crazy…I had left a couple of messages on Paul's cell-phone but never heard anything back…so I flew into Detroit, Michigan, and took a taxi to the arena…when I got there, the driver went ahead and took my bags and put them into Paul's limo…I walked all over the arena looking for Paul, but still couldn't find him…

I finally ran into Mark and Trish, and gave them both hugs…and said, "Have you guys seen Paul anywhere?" Trish said, "I thought he was down by the ring last time I saw him." Mark said, "No, I saw him in the gym." I said, "Well make up your minds people…" Trish said, "Check the ring first, and then the gym." I said, "If you run across him, just tell him someone was looking for him." Trish giggled and said, "Sneak attach, huh?" I said, "Of course, if you're going to go for it…go big." I walked off, when I didn't find him, I figured maybe he went with someone in a rental car to get food or whatever, so I went and sat in the Medical office, and got things set up and ready for later that night.

I had called Shane earlier and told him I was coming back but only as a doctor for a while, cause I really wasn't up for wrestling for a while…he said, it was fine and to let him know when I was ready to wrestle again. A couple of minutes later, Matt, Jeff and Amy (Lita) came in the medical office…Amy said, "Chely, girl someone said you were back and wanted to talk with Jeff." Amy gave me a hug as did Jeff and Matt…

I smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Hardy, why haven't you taken anytime off from this Fatigue bullshit?" Jeff said, "Oh man, how'd you know, you haven't even been here for a month…I knew I should of just told you before I got myself into any trouble…I should know better then to hide shit from you…" I said, "Okay that doesn't answer my question…c'mon sit down on the exam table." Jeff said, "I don't have time to take off…we just got everything situated with team Xtreme…and then to have to take time off for something that doesn't bother me…"

Me being the little devil I am, I said, "Oh really…not bothering you huh??" I felt his lymph nodes around his neck and applied a little pressure and Jeff said, "OUCH! MICHELLE THAT HURT..." I said, "Yes, well, the fatigue that doesn't seem to be bothering you just made you yell at me…so wanna try again?" Jeff said, "Okay, so sometimes it bothers me, but I was okay until you just did that."

I said, "Jeff, you need to take some time off, I'm serious, this Chronic Fatigue Syndrome isn't a deadly disease, but it can be a serious one if you don't get it under control, and I'd venture to say that since you're lymph nodes are so sensitive now, that you really need to take a vacation, fake an injury, whatever it takes…I know it's all about pride, you don't care if you're sick, but I do…I'm going to check you next Monday and if I haven't seen a drastic change, I'm going to recommend to Shane and Vince for some time off for you…you may get really pissed off and hate my guts, but I'm only looking out for your health and best interest…I'm serious Jeff…"

Jeff said, "Man what'ca gotta go to the big guns for? Vinnie doesn't need to know about this does he?" I said, "Only if you make me tell him…I'll bet money that he probably already knows you've got it, but he's not going to say anything to you until you say something first…nothing is more important than your health right now, nothing…if you keep this up, you won't be able to keep your head above water, and your mind on the game and I'm not talking about my husband…I'm talking about your focus on wrestling to the absolute greatest that you can…and if you're not wrestling at your best level, then you'll be more prone to injuries and accidents…" Jeff sighed heavy and said, "Why can't you be my friend instead of a doctor? You're so much more fun when you Michelle, and not Dr. Levesque..."

I laughed and said, "It's my job, I didn't go to Medical School to ignore a friends illness…Jeff, we've been friends for a long time, we were friends even before I married Shane…so you have to know I wouldn't throw these threats at you if it wasn't serious…I don't wanna see you fall off your game peak and get yourself hurt worse…just take care of yourself, that's all I'm asking…If I have to kick your ass around these damn arenas to get your attention then by all means, I will." Jeff said, "Okay I get the picture Dr. Levesque…" I said, "Don't start that…"

My cell phone rang and I answered it… "Hello?" Paul's disgruntled voice said, "Michelle Ann, where the hell are you? I've been trying to get a hold of you for the last 5 hours…and why aren't you at home?" I said, "Well if you'll take a pill, I'll tell you…I had some errands to run and stopped off to talk with a friend I hadn't seen in a while…I sent a surprise to you there at the arena…walk down to the doctors medical office, I had someone put it there for you.." As he walked down the hall, Paul said, "I'm sorry I yelled, I was just worried…I tried calling you at home and then on your cell and you never answered…I thought something had happened." I said, "It was my fault, I forgot to turn my cell phone on… (Big lie)" Paul said, "So I'm at the office, is it unlocked?" I said, "Of course, just walk in…" He said, "So what did you send me?" He walked in and I said, "Me."

He actually dropped his cell phone and walked over to me and immediately pulled me into a lip burning kiss…I thought my lips were actually on fire…Matt picked up his phone and put it on the counter with mine…Paul slid his hands down my thighs to my butt and picked me up by my ass…and I wrapped my legs around his waist…he tried walking to the exam table but couldn't see cause I was in the way of his vision…Paul said, "Baby I can't see anything…" I said, "You don't need to see…just kiss." Paul said, "That I can do." Jeff jumped off the exam table and steered us towards the table and then the 3 of them slithered out quickly and quietly, closing and locking the door behind them so we could have peace…

So we put the exam table to good use…more then once that night… (he he he)
