Title: When Reality Strikes
The next morning I stand in front of the mirror checking out my outfit. I don't know what Amber is talking about it doesn't look slutty. When I hear a knock at the door I just swing it open. " So Erica have you finally gotten over your crappy mood from last night? Don't think I haven't forgotten you haven't told me what happened." I glare at her and go to grab my bag. " I told you I didn't want to talk about it so let's go before we're late and miss everything."
We take the elevator down to the conference room from last night where the signing would take place. After that we would be having breakfast in one of the ballrooms. As we stand on line I look for the woman from last night and when I don't see here I realize she must not have wanted to be embarrassed again. I can't believe he ruined her weekend. As the line starts to move forward I hear whispers of which superstars are here. So far I heard Triple H, Stone Cold, Brock, Trish, Lita, Chris Jericho, Ric Flair, Kane and lastly the Undertaker. Great now I have to pretend to be happy to see him. Amber turns around. " Did you hear what that guy said? The Undertaker is here. You can finally talk to him." I smile weakly at her and try to figure out a way not to curse him out when I see him.
Before we know it we are at the head of the line. For a brief few minutes I just enjoy meeting everyone and shaking their hands until I reach the end of the line. Amber is getting her poster signed by Mark and I am standing in front of Glenn. " It's very nice to meet you. I'm a big fan." Glenn shakes my hand and thanks me for coming. Right before Amber walks away from Mark she looks at me and winks. " Oh before I go. My friend here she thinks you're the greatest superstar ever. She's just too much of a wuss to tell you." Amber gives me one last glance and walks away. If looks could kill she would already be hitting the floor dead. " So is what your friend said true? Am I really your favorite?"
Any other time and I would of about just melted but after last night I just give him a cool glance. " My friend didn't get much sleep last night so she must have had you confused with someone else." Mark looks me up and down checking me out. " Are you sure about that darlin? Maybe I can do something to change your mind." Great now he's flirting with me when I am supposed to hate him. Just stay strong. " No I think you've done enough and my mind is made up." I grab my poster away from him and rush off to catch up with Amber. As I walk away I can feel his eyes on me.
Once we get to the ballroom we find our place cards and sit at our designated table. Five more people sit at our table and we all introduce ourselves. A short time later Stephanie McMahon gets on a microphone to thank all of us for coming. She says through out the breakfast there will be give-a-ways for special WWE merchandise. Then she says in a few minutes some Superstars will be coming in and you will have two Superstars join you for breakfast. As soon as I hear this I get a sick feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I glance at Amber and she keeps giving me coy little looks.
" So what happened when I walked away? Did you fall at his feet and tell him he's your God?" I take a sip of my water and lean towards her. " No I can actually say I didn't. In fact he was the one flirting with me. But I decided I just wasn't interested." Amber's mouth drops open and I can't help but think of a fish when you pull it out of the water. " What do you mean you weren't interested? Ok who are you and where is my best friend?" I shake my head laughing. " Listen I will explain to you why I'm not interested ok? Last night when I went over to say hi that woman beat me too it. Anyway she asked for their autographs and he totally blew up at her and embarrassed her. That's no way to treat a fan. I understand they enjoy their privacy but without fans he will have all the privacy he could need when Vince would fire his ass. So I'm still a little pissed about it ok?" She nods her head at me and tells me she thinks he's an asshole too.
She grabs my hand. " I am really sorry about this Erica. I know he was like your idol." I pat her hand. " It's all right Amber, reality had to set in sometime." We sit there for a few minutes getting to know the other people at our table. Stephanie gets back on the mic saying the Superstars will join us all at our table soon. Sure enough a few minutes later they all start to trickle in and I watch as they head off to different tables. That's when I notice Mark and Glenn haven't showed up yet. Then I glance to my left and see the sit next to me is empty. Ok god this is not one of the times to play a joke on me.
I close my eyes right tight, praying and hoping I don't see anyone with tattoos sit next to me. " Is this seat taken?" I glance up and smile when I see its Glenn. " Nope, in fact I think this seat may have your name on it." As he goes to sit down Mark comes up behind him. " Sorry buddy I think your seat is the one across the table. This seat has my name written all over it." Glenn looks like he is going to protest but instead walks over to the other side of the table and sits down. He shots me an apologetic smile. Once Mark sits down he leans over to whisper in my ear. " Looks like we meet again darlin."
