Maria took a deep breathe before knocking on the hotel door. The door slowly opend and she gave a small smile as she was pulled into a comforting hug. She held onto Chris as tightly as she could. He looked down at her and smiled
"Missed you Ria" he told her.
"Missed you too" she said with a smile as they walked into the hotel room.
"I got your favourite film out" He told her with a smile.
"But you hate My fair lady!" she exclaimed
Chris just shrugged "Well you're the one who needs cheering up"
Maria just smiled as she looked about the familiar surroundings. Sure it was a different hotel and a different room but being there with Chris on a friday night made it feel like home. It was what she was used to. She grinned at the clothes lying about everywhere.
"That poor maid, she's gonna have some job to do after you leave" she commented.
Chris smiled at her.
"Come here" he said patting the space next to him on the bed.
She got in and rested her head on his shoulder.
"So how are you feeling?" he asked
"Honestly things aren't so bad" she replied
He raised an eyebrow at her.
"But you've had a terrible time!" he exclaimed
Maria just smiled at him
"Just shut up and watch the film" she told him.
"Yes mom" he laughed with a mock salute. Maria swatted him on his arm before getting comfortable.
As soon as the film was over Maria walked across to sit on one of the chairs. Chris walked over and joined her.
"So explain" he told her.
"Explain what?" she asked
"How things aren't so bad" he replied
"You know it was just a few months ago when i was asking myself will things get any better, no one respected me at all and i was single." she said
He sat and waited for her to continue.
"Well now i'm still single, and so many bad things have happend since i asked myself that question, i broke my ankle, i broke up with Randy...twice, and we aren't even on speaking terms anymore."
"And you're ok with that?" he asked in disbelief.
Maria nodded.
"Yeah i am, so not everyone respects me, but i've got some great friends you and Christy, Stacy. It's all i need, it's not like i can have it all" she replied
"Yes you can Maria, you can have whatever you want" he told her firmly.
"No i can't have everything i want, this isn't some story Chris it's real life, i'll never have everything i want, but for now i've got everything i need and that's ok with me" she said with a small smile.
"Well i'm glad you're happy now Ria" Chris said with a grin
"I'm glad to Chrissy" she said grinning back.
Chris' face turned serious.
"Didn't we talk about the Chrissy thing" he said
"Why yes we did didn't we Chrissy" she said with an innocent look.
"That's it!" he exclaimed
Maria squeeled and jumped out of the chair as Chris chased her about the room. He shoved her onto the bed and started tickeling her which she hated.
"Ok...i'm...sorry" she shouted through giggles.
"You know what you have to say" he laughed
"Chris Jericho is the greastest wrestler in raw and in the world" she said quickly.
Chris let go and smiled down at her. They locked eyes and Chris lowered his head slightly...
