She sighed. The last day they got to spend together for the entire week, without having to worry about going to work, or being on time. Of course this week would be different. They were going to Chicago. The city Chris had debuted in. The city where they spent a romantic getaway.
Trish stood up off the couch and walked towards her and Chris' bedroom. After taking the suitcase out of the closet, she put it on their bed and unzipped it. As she began to put the stacks of clothes in, she smiled as she came across Chris' things. He had neatly folded them like she asked and had left a note for her on top.
'Trish, I love you Baby. Though we can't come home Tuesday, we're going to have a great week. Trust me."
She put it back down on the bed and continued to put the clothes away. When she was finished she zipped it back up and took it downstairs. She placed it by the front door so she knew where it would be when it came time to leave. Back in the living room, Chris was taking a short nap on the couch. Trish walked over to where he was laying and put her lips to his forehead. She pulled away to brush the hair out of his eyes, and then put a blanket over him as he slept.
"Just like a little baby." She said softly.
"Oh yeah, well you're just like a mother." He said, as he opened one eye.
"When do you wake up?"
"Oh, it might have been when my gorgeous blonde girlfriend kissed me. But I'm not sure, because I was dreaming about this beautiful babe, and..."
"Very funny Chris."
"Lay down with me?" He asked with his bottom lip out.
"For a little while, Babe. Then I've got to go shower."
"Oh, can I join?"
"Only if you're going to be a good boy. We have to leave for the airport in 2 hours."
"Oh yeah. Well I'll think about it. Just lay down for a little while, I need a hug."
"Fine." As she laid down, he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.
"I hope you know that now that you're down here I'm never letting you go."
"Oh really, then you can explain to Mr. McMahon why we were late, or you can take the blame for us getting fired."
She pressed her lips to his gently and then tangled her fingers in his hair. After the kiss, she wrapped her legs around his waist, and kissed him again. She sucked on his bottom lip for some time, and then finally broke the kiss.
"Mmm, I love you."
"I love you more." He kissed her again. "You know, you forgot a very important day this past week."
"I did?"
"Yep. What significant thing happened one year ago?"
"You turned 33?"
"Hah, no. It's not November."
"I don't know Chris. I don't like this game, just tell me."
"Go turn on the V.C.R and press play."
"Okay..."
She let go of her grip, and went to the T.V. As she pressed play a video of her standing in the ring about to be attacked by Steven Richards began to play. And it all came back to her.
"Oh..my."
Trish sat there and watched as Chris came down the ramp and attacked Stevie. Then after he threw them both out of the ring, he went to check on Trish. A single tear then slid down her cheek as the tape ended.
"Yes Babe, it's the anniversary of the first time I went out there just to save you. The start of something that turned out so pure, and beautiful."
"But.."
"Oh yeah. And everything that's happened up until this point now, has made us ten times stronger." He walked over and knelt in front of her. "Trish I love you with all my heart. You are my soul, the very best friend I've ever had. And without you in my life, I would be so lost."
"Shh." He pressed his index finger to her lips. "There has been so many things that have happened in our relationship, that I regret to the fullest extent. You are absolutely beautiful, and I would never ever try to hurt you again. I want to spend the rest of my waking days with you. Trish Stratus..Will you marry me?"
"Chris..I-I don't know what to say."
"Oh."
"No, no, it's not bad Sweetie, I just, am so shocked. I just...Yes, I will!"
"I love you so much." He leaned forward, and pressed his lips softly to hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck for a minute, and then leaned back.
Chris took the ring box out of his pocket, and then took the ring out. She down at it, and traced the diamonds. He slid it on her finger, and then kissed it to add a more special meaning.
"You make me, so happy."
"And you make me smile. You're so perfect. Everything about you makes me just tingle with excitement."
"Chris!"
"My heart! And other things, but let's not go there now."
"Christopher, I love you."
"You too Baby. Let's go take our showers, so we can go."
"One will be so much easier and quicker."
"Fine...sounds perfect to me."
He helped her to her feet, and she placed her hand inside his. Gripping it tightly he led her up the stairs to the bathroom and shut the door behind them. As he watched her turn on the shower, he smiled softly to himself. This is what he'd wanted...
...For one whole year.
This story is now complete. I hate that I can't update this story enough, and I just have been so busy so I'm ending it right here and now. I enjoyed writing it, and I enjoyed reading the reviews you all gave me. Thanks a lot. It kept me writing! So...I'm not sure how much more I'll be writing here due to the fact that I hardly have time to get on the computer at all! Cheerleading starts, and a lot of family crap is going on. But I may get a few more stories up before I call it quits. Hope you enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Remember my motto: Chris and Trish for life...haha. --Dakota Stratus
