Chapter Two
--------------------------------------------------
"Wake up, Tess." Mark said the next morning, shaking her shoulder lightly. She grunted and rolled over. Mark shook her again and she reluctantly got up. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and walked over to her suitcase. She pulled out a pair of jeans and a light pink t-shirt, and headed towards the bathroom. After taking a hot shower and drying her hair, she returned to the room to see Trish and Amy sitting on her bed.
"Hey, chick." Amy said. Tess smiled and ran a hand through her hair. "Mark already left, but he left this here for you. He said you could spend however much you wanted to."
"Great. I could use some new outfits." Tess said, picking up the platinum card with a grin.
"Well, c'mon then, lets go!" Trish said, standing up. They walked out of the hotel room and over to the elevator.
"Morning ladies. You're all looking lovely as usual." Chris said as he walked up to them. They were waiting for the elevator.
"Hey, Chris." Trish said. Amy nodded her hello.
"Aw, no hello for me, Tess?" he said with a smirk.
"My father told me to stay away from you." She said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Always do everything daddy says? I thought you women could think for yourself..." he muttered as he rolled his eyes. Tess glared at him and stepped up in his face.
"I can think for myself, but if my dad tells me to stay away from you, I'm going to stay away from you. I don't want to be around assholes like you, anyways."
"Keep telling yourself that, little girl. Watch your back." Chris said, then walked off.
"Is he always so damn annoying?" Tess asked, turning back to Trish and Amy.
"Yes. You sure as hell told him off, girl." Trish said, laughing. The elevator dinged and the stepped into it, pressing the button for the first floor. A couple of floors down the elevator stopped and the doors opened, letting two guys walk in.
"Hey Adam, Jay." Amy said to the two.
"Hey ladies. Who's your friend?" one of them asked.
"This is Tess Calloway, Mark's daughter." Amy introduced them.
"Glad to meet you. I'm Jay Reso, or Christian." One said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you."
"And I'm Adam Copeland, also known as Edge." The other said. Amy, Trish, Adam, and Jay talked about that nights show until the elevator dinged, and they all got out and went their separate ways. Tess and the girls spent hours at the mall before returning to Amy's rental.
"God, that was so much fun." Tess said with a huge smile on her face.
"We'll have to do it again sometime. I'm off a few days next week, maybe we can do again then." Amy said. "Are you off then, Trish?"
"No, I have autograph signings and appearances all next week." Trish replied.
"That sucks." Tess said. They arrived at the arena a few minutes later. Tess got her bags out of the car and walked in through the back door, making her way to catering. She spotted Mark and Paul, and walked over to them.
"Hey Daddy, Paul." She said with a smile, setting her bags down and giving her father a hug.
"Did you have a good day, Tess?" Mark asked. Tess nodded. "You can drop your bags off in my dressing room. I have to go now, I have a match first." He said as he walked off. Tess gathered up her bags and made her way to Mark's locker room. She dropped the bags off inside and walked back out.
"Hey gorgeous." She recognized Chris say behind her. She rolled her eyes and turned to face him.
"What do you want, Chris?" she asked.
"You know what I want. Stop with the cold front, I'm not gonna hurt you." He took a step closer to her. Tess glared at him.
"I know you're not gonna hurt me. You're not going to do shit to me." She growled.
"Stop being such a bitch, Tess. I know you want me." After he said that, he pressed her hard against the wall by her upper arms and forced his lips on hers. She struggled underneath him, but he was too strong for her. His tongue poked entrance in her mouth, and that's where she took her chance. She bit down on his tongue and pushed him off of her. She heard Chris yelling after her as she took off down the hallway, and ducked into the closest room. She was relieved to find the room empty, and slammed the door shut. She sank down against the wall and pulled her knees up to her chest. She felt tears burning beneath her eyelids as she wrapped her arms around her knees, and allowed them to fall.
"Tess, are you alright?" she heard a concerned voice ask a few seconds later. She blinked up through her tears and saw Rob kneeling down beside her. "Come here," he said, gently helping her up and leading her over to one of the benches. "Tell me what happened." She brushed her tears away with the back of her hands and retold the story to him. She was crying again by the end of it.
"It's not fair! Honestly! I've been here one damn day and I'm already being harassed!" she said, brushing her tears away again. Rob wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a comforting hug.
"It'll be okay, Tess. Don't cry, please. I'm gonna talk to your dad about this, he'll rip Chris's face off. And I promise you this, I'll be here to keep him away from you as much as I can, alright? If I'm not here, Adam or Jay or Paul or Glenn or someone else will be." Rob said. Tess wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him close to her.
"Thank you so much Rob, I really appreciate that. I don't know what Chris's problem is, but I'm scared of what he can do." she said quietly.
"It's not a problem. You've only been here a day, girl, but you got people to really liking you." he said with a smile. She returned the smile slightly.
"See, there's that pretty smile we all love." Rob said. He then stood up, and took her hand in his. "C'mon, lets go find your dad and tell him about this." they walked out of the room and over towards catering, where Paul and Dwayne were talking. Rob led Tess over to one of the moniters.
"My dad's still in his match," she said, looking into it. He was in a match against Glenn, and right now, Glenn was beating the hell out of him.
"It should be over soon, your dad is supposed to win." Rob said. They watched until the end of the match. Soon after, Mark came back to catering.
"Mark, we need to talk." Rob said, standing up. Tess stood up next to him.
"About?" Mark asked.
"Chris. He was harassing Tess earlier."
"What? I'll rip that little punk's head off of his body..." Mark said in a low voice.
"He pushed me up against the wall and kissed me, and I bit his tongue and ducked into one of the dressing rooms. Rob calmed me down." Tess piped up. Mark nodded.
"I told Tess that I would always try to be there to keep Chris away from her, and that if I couldn't be, someone would . I also think we need to train her a little bit, just so she can have some self defense other than biting tongues." Rob said.
"I don't know about that, Rob. She could get hurt." Mark replied.
"We take that risk everyday, Mark. I think we should let her decide if she wants to or not."
"I think it would be a good idea, Daddy." Tess said. "I was thinking about asking you if I could anyways. I've been watching you and Amy and some of the other wrestlers, and it seems really fun." Mark looked at her intently.
"Are you one hundred percent sure about this, Tess? It's hard work, and it's risky." he said.
"I'm positive." she replied.
"Alright," Mark nodded. "Ask Trish or Amy if you can borrow some workout clothes for tomorrow, we'll get you some stuff of your own over the weekend."
"Thank you, Daddy!" Tess said with a huge smile on her face as she kissed her father on the cheek. She then ran off towards the locker rooms to tell Amy and Trish.
"I'll help you train her." Rob said. Mark nodded.
"Thanks. And I also really appreciate you helping to look after her."
"It's really no problem at all. She's a sweetheart." Rob said, before walking off towards his locker room.
