Disclaimer: Since giving Brock Lesner back to the WWE, I do not own
anything pertaining to the WWE, but I do continue to borrow him frequently.
Especially from 9pm Friday night to 3am Monday morning.
AN: Well after a hellish week that included me breaking my computer at work and a bad case of writers block, here I am once again. Thanks for being patient! Thank you again for all the reviews. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Enjoy. ~ audacious
"And so that is my story," I finished to Brock and Rick who had come in half way into my account.
"Wow, I'm sorry I missed that. I would have kicked their honky asses and then I would have gone karate kid on 'em too," Rick declared posing with a leg in the air and then started making kung-fu noises.
I grinned and looked up at Brock who had been resting his chin on my head, "You know I'm really gonna miss this kid."
"Miss him? What do you - You mean you're gonna do it?" Brock's confused face lit up, "Honest? You're not playing with me or anything?"
"No I'm not, I mean yes I am," I said, "Aw hell. Yes I'm taking it, No I'm not playing."
Brock's arms grew tighter around me as Rick started jumping up and down.
"Oh Lord girl, it's about time you left the nest! And may I just add that you wont be needing these anymore!?" and with that he picked up the pile of papers on my desk and threw them into the air. The three of us watched in silence as they floated down to the floor.
"Well, I wont be needing them," I said "But you sure as hell will be, I'm naming you as my replacement."
Brock and I laughed as Rick looked at the floor with a sigh, "Well I guess I'm just going to half to hire a good looking young stud to pick these up for me." And his face lit up with the possibility, "and then can I fire anyone who pisses me off?"
"You'll be the boss. Knock yourself out!" I said laughing "Brock give me about 5 minutes to go resign and then lets go eat. The thought of quitting has given me an appetite."
"Won't it take awhile to write your resignation letter?" Brock asked
"Hell no, I've had one on file since I started here. I keep having Rick re- type it for me." I said unwrapping Brocks arms and crawling off the couch. Walking over to the file cabinet in the corner, I called out to Rick who had gone to his desk no doubt to put a want ad in the paper, "Rick? Would you please call some movers and tell them to come and pack up my office? I want everything gone by the time I come back from lunch, have it delivered to my house." Finding my letter I looked at Brock, "OK, be right back."
"You want me there for back up?"
"If I'm not back in 5 minutes." I said with a wink and walked out the door to my boss's office.
"Is he in Grace?" I asked his secretary barging past her
"Yes but he is in a meeti-"
"OK I'll just let myself in then" and continued through
"Maggie what the hell? I'm busy here"
"Fine then I'll make this short and sweet, Paul I quit. You can take your little agency here and shove it up your rear. It'll make a nice addition because I think your soul is up there too." Through his sputtering I continued, "I have made Rick my successor, part of my contract gives me the power to do so, here is my letter of resignation, and if you do anything to undermine me or Rick, I will come back here and slap a discrimination and sexual harassment suit on you so fast your head will spin. And I have proof. Good Day Gentlemen." And I strolled out the door. "See you later Grace"
"Good for you Maggie," Grace said with a huge smile.
I grinned at her over my shoulder and headed back to my office where Brock was standing there with my coat
"Ready?"
"You better believe it mister."
As we went through sales Brock felt the urge to flex and growled again just for good measure.
"Ok all right I think they go it. Your tough they're not". I said laughing under my breath
Brock just smirked and growled at a salesman who dared to make eye contact.
"C'mon Caveman, "I said while taking his hand and dragging him out the door "You're car or mine?"
"Ummm.I think we both need to drive, I have a couple appointments afterwards."
"Cool. How's Mill Street Sound?"
"Sounds great." **
"Ok", I said once we got to the restaurant, gave our orders, and let Brock sign a couple of autographs, "What exactly is this job? And what will I have to do? Do I need to sign my soul away? I just got it back a little while ago from the government who was holding it hostage for my student loans to get paid back. I was sort of starting to get attached to it again. I'd hate to give it up."
Brock laughed, "They actually gave that thing back to you? Mine must have gotten lost in the mail or somethin'. Ok now this job. it's basically what I told you already. Scheduling Hotels, airfare, and a little hospitality with the VIPs. You AND Grayson will get to travel with us as much as you like, and you'll get an expense account that's very generous. You'll have your own office at headquarters, a couple of people underneath you, a comfy chair. Whatever you want."
"Wow a comfy chair? If only you told me that first I wouldn't have had to think about this," I laughed, "So Grayson will get a tutor when we are on the road?"
"'Yeah, several wrestlers and crew members have their kids along at different times so Vince keeps a teacher around for them. And when Gray's not getting tutored he can hang around with me and the other guys or in your traveling office area."
"What if he gets in trouble. You know my kid. He attracts it."
"Well he won't get sent home and you won't get fired if that's what you mean."
"OK what should I do about a house? Are there lots of places out there? Or are we going to be in the ghetto living in a box?" Looking behind Brock, I noticed a couple of kids standing off to the side pointing at us and arguing with each other. I pointed them out to Brock "I think I see some fans."
Brock turned and waved them over "C'mon over. How you doin?"
"Are you really Brock Lesner?" asked the braver of the two
"You got it. What's your names?"
I sat back and watched Brock goof around with these two kids. He really was good at his job; his people skills have really come a long way. Brock got done signing autographs and the boy's father came over to collect them.
"You just made their week." I said
"Well you know I tend to have that effect on people. OK back this housing thing. There are a lot of options; I would recommend a condo for you two. Until you find one you like you can always live with me."
"Thanks, I think we'll take you up on that. You sure you won't mind us barging in on the single man and his bachelor pad?"
"Psh no. Like I have a social life. We can meet up with Vince at the end of the week He'll be back in Connecticut and he can get you situated with things. I'll give him a call tonight and let him know you are taking the job. I really am happy that you are taking this." Brock leaned over and took my hand in his, "I've missed you"
The light swiftly emerged in his eyes, and I really hoped it was the tray of Buffalo wings behind me.
"I've missed you to," I said with a smile, giving his hand a squeeze and then slowly withdrawing it trying to ignore the tingling feeling my nerves were feeling from his touch, "You said you had appointments? What do you have to do?"
"What? Oh yeah, just a couple of radio interviews on Sports Talk and the Coaches Show, and then I'm gonna head home and see the family. I'll be back on Friday. Do you want to fly out Saturday? We can have your stuff shipped out," He hesitated, "Is this moving to fast for you? Do you need to stop and think?"
"Are you kidding? I stopped thinking a while ago. Its good things are moving fast otherwise I would chicken out and go flip burgers at White Castle. Oh geez, I just realized I still need to break this to Anna and Grayson. How are they going to handle this?"
"I don't think you're going to have trouble with Grayson, Anna might not go for it right away. Aw geez look at the time,' He said glancing at his watch, "I need to go. I'll call you tonight ok?"
"OK sure. Have fun at the interviews."
Getting up from the table he leaned over and kissed my cheek, "I'm sure it'll be interesting." And with that he was gone.
I watched him leave the building; still reeling from what his simple kiss had done to me. I was so setting myself up for trouble. I just couldn't keep ignoring the electricity that was there whenever we touched. Two people should not have that much charge between them, right? And now I was going to go live with him? Wouldn't this just screw up everything? "What the hell are you thinking, Maggie?" I said out loud. A waitress two tables down looked up at me with a puzzled look on her face. "Sorry, talking to myself again. Could I have the check?"
She handed it to me; I paid and then left, walking towards my car. Well I just couldn't focus on that right now, I should concentrate on breaking the news to Gray and Anna. Yeah that's it. Repress it till you're forced to look at it. That's the American way. Besides, I need to have something to tell my shrink in a couple of years, right?
