Chapter 8
Adam's POV
"What do you mean? What's the other part of the surprise?" asked Mandy as she searched my face with her eyes for the answer.
"I'm spending the night with you tonight and tomorrow we are going to drive to Vegas together. I'm getting the Championship tomorrow and I want you to be there, backstage," I explained. She smiled and kissed me gently on the lips.
"I really miss you," She whispered. I held her tightly.
"I know, I miss you too!"
"I can't wait to see everyone again!" she stated suddenly excited. Raw was being held in Sandy, Utah and Smackdown was being taped the next day in Las Vegas, Nevada so it was within driving distance. After Mandy and Trish got changed, we all went back to the hotel for the rest of the evening.
Back at the hotel a bunch of us filed into Trish's hotel room. Mandy collapsed on the couch and I sat next to her. She shifted and rested her head on my lap. I knew that she was completely exhausted so I ran my fingers through her hair and tried to make her as comfortable as possible.
"Hey Tish, move your ass! Other people want to sit on the couch too," Chris teased as Mandy moved her legs enough to let Chris sit at the end of the couch. Once he was settled, she rested her feet on his legs so that she was still taking over the entire couch. I smiled at the sight of her in her navy blue cotton shorts and an Edge Army tee.
"So Chris, I trust that you are watching out for my lady since I can't be here," I stated to one of my best friends. I had been watching Mandy and Chris on TV every week and it was really interesting to see how each of their characters had developed, and they had on screen chemistry that was unbelievable.
"Oh yeah man, Tish and I get along...famously! We take care of each other!" Chris assured me. Mandy laughed a little bit and kicked him in the arm.
"Is something wrong?" I asked her wondering what was going on. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Oh no, we just have a very interesting relationship," She replied.
"Yeah, we mess with each other a lot. She's a very...fun loving person!" Chris insisted. I smiled again. It was great that Mandy got along so well with my friends over at Raw. They were very different from the people I used to hang out with at Smackdown. They were a better crowd. They weren't into drugs or alcohol, but they certainly were an acquired taste.
"I'm glad you guys like each other so much! I must admit, I was a little worried about you guys not getting along. I know you're not the easiest person to develop a friendship with, Chris," I teased. Mandy started laughing again. Trish and Jay just kinda looked at each other like they were in shock.
"Oh please, Mandy and I...just...adore each other. Don't we Tish?" Chris asked. I looked down at Mandy and waited for her to answer, still wondering why it seemed that the whole conversation was a joke.
"Oh yeah Jerky, I love you to death!"
