Title: When Reality Strikes
"Oh look we're landing, you better buckle up." Mark pulls away. "I hope you don't think this means I will forget about this. In fact I can't wait to see Glenn to tell him you have naughty dreams about me. I'm sure he will get a kick out of it." I turn my head away so he can't see my blush. Amber had always told me I talked in my sleep but I never believed her. I look at Mark out of the corner of my eye and I can see the smirk on his face. He is going to be more obnoxious then usual now. Once we land I push him out of the seat so we can get off of the plane. When we get off I see a man holding up a sign with my name on it. "Hi I'm Erica." The man asks to see my ID and I show it to him. "Mr. McMahon sent me to pick you up and to bring you to the arena immediately. Follow me."
We go get my luggage and Mark trails behind us. Once we get outside the driver opens the door for me. When Mark goes to take a step into the car I stop him. "I'm sorry Mr. McMahon sent this car for me. He didn't mention anything about you." Mark starts to growl at me so I push him into the car. I love annoying him. "I'm impressed Vince never sends limo's to pick people up from the airport. He must really like you." The driver presses for the partition to go down. "Miss, Mr. McMahon requested that a bottle of champagne be on ice for you. If you look into the compartment to your right you should find it." With that said the partition goes back up. I lean over and open the compartment and sure enough there's a bottle of champagne. Mark takes it and opens it up. "Wow he must really love you to do this." I take a sip and look at Mark. "What's not to love?"
Mark starts to laugh. "Hmm maybe I can ask him to make me a list. But if he needs a list of reasons to dislike you then I'm your man." I lean over and pinch his cheek. "Come on admit it, you missed me. I know you did." Mark smacks my hand away. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about." I take another big sip of my drink and giggle. "I don't care what you say you missed me." After another two glasses I'm really feeling happy. I motion for Mark to lean over. "I'll let you in on a little secret. Even though you annoy me I missed you." Mark takes the glass out of my hand and places it in a holder. Before I know what's happening Mark is pulling me into his lap. "You're drunk." I start shaking my head. "No I'm not." And then I start to giggle.
Mark chuckles and then smiles at me. I lean up and whisper to him. "You look very sexy when you smile. But you know what I think is even sexier? When you get all dark and angry with me. It makes me hot." Mark leans forward and kisses me gently on the lips. "You're not going to remember any of this later are you?" I nod my head at him. "Probably not. Why?" Mark puts his hand in my hair and pulls my mouth towards his. "I don't need you yelling at me for doing this." We kiss for so long I have to pull away to get air. Mark starts playing with my hair. "And since you won't remember any of this I can let you in on a little secret too. I did miss you and I'm glad you're back. You get to me in a way no woman ever has and I can't get you out of my head."
I smile and pat his cheek and fall asleep. When I come too Mark is shaking me telling me we're at the arena. He helps me out of the car and we go inside. Mark walks with me down to Vince's office. I tell him I will catch up to him later. Before I go in Mark stops me. "Do you remember anything that happened in the car?" I scrunch up my nose and tilt my head. "No everything seems kind of fuzzy. Should I remember anything?" Mark looks relieved and tells me no. I knock and go into Vince's office. He welcomes me back and I thank him for the limo. I take out Mark's schedule that I had worked on in the car on the way to the airport. "I've fixed everything so if you want to look it over here you go."
Vince takes it and checks it over. "You're amazing. And now that I have you here I want to apologize in person for what happened. You are feeling better right?" I nod my head. "Well now that I have you in front of me I have something for you." Vince pulls out a folder and hands me the papers. "I want to sign you to a full time contract. Feel free to look it over." I sit back in the chair and read through it. Everything seems on the up and up so I sign my name on the dotted line. Vince shakes my hand. "Welcome back to the WWE Erica." I thank him and leave.
On my way down to Mark's locker room I hear my name being called. When I turn around I'm crushed into a bear hug. "Hey Paul. I'm guessing you're excited to see me?" He puts me down and looks at me. " Are you here to stay this time?" I loop my arm through his and we walk down the hallway. "I'm sorry to say all of you are stuck with me. How have my girls been doing?" Paul takes me to the diva's locker room and tells me he will see me later. I knock on the door and peek my head in. When Trish and Amy see me they yank me into the room. "I'm so glad your back." I hug Trish and then Amy. We all sit down talking for a while and then I tell them I better go check on Mark.
When I get down to his locker room I walk in and see him and Glenn. Glenn rushes over and hugs me like Paul did. When he puts me down I see the dark look on Mark's face. Before another fight breaks out I step away from Glenn. "I'm heading down to the cafeteria to eat. Care to join me?" I agree to go with Glenn and turn back to Mark. "Want to come with us?" Mark shakes his head. "That's ok I have some stuff to do." Glenn and I leave and I stop and tell I will catch up with him. I run back to the locker room and Mark is sitting on a bench facing away from me. I walk up behind him and lean down to whisper in his ear. "I know why you don't want to have lunch with us. It's because I affect you so much." Mark tenses up. "What the hell are you talking about Erica?" I make sure to go stand next to the door before I talk. "Well you said so yourself I affect you in a way no woman ever has. Oh and you missed me, we can't forget that part." Mark stands up and comes towards me. "I thought you said you didn't remember what happened in the car?" I pull the door open and get ready to run. "I lied."
