Summary: Lita looks back on the past and realises that Kane does care for her. Lita/Kane
Chapter 4
After saying goodbye to Lisa (Victoria), Lita looked around and saw that she was alone. She opened her locker, looking at the mirror enclosed on the inside of the door. Hazel eyes looked back at her, confused hazel eyes. She sighed after a while, running a hand through her hair, before hoisting her bag over her shoulder and limping out of the locker room, turning off the light after her, but when she turned around, her heart leapt up to her throat when she saw…
"Snitsky," she said coldly, her eyes slits as he grinned evilly at her, his rancid breath making her nauseous.
"Hello Li-ta…" He crooned disgustingly, before she tried to edge past him but he pushed her up against the wall, his hand on her neck, his other hand on her collarbone. "I remember I started something with you last time we saw each other…"
He grinned and chuckled softly, his finger running down her chest to her cleavage… She swallowed, wanting to knee him in the crotch but fear paralysing her…
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!" someone yelled in the background and Snitsky did just that, and Lita saw, with a smile that she couldn't contain, that it was Kane. He barrelled into the sadistic pervert, clotheslining him to the hard ground, causing his head to spill open slightly. Lita swallowed before looking up at her husband, pale eyes met hazel and it was at that moment that she realised that she was nothing without him.
"C'mon, I'll take you to the hotel," he said, his hand brushing against hers, the electric spark that she had felt so long ago still there. She bit her lip slightly before nodding.
The car ride was short as they got out of the limo that Vincent McMahon had given her, they exited at the Hilton Hotel where most WWE Superstars stayed. Kane helped her out, and she found she was lost for words when he looked at her in that caring way, she simply smiled before they entered the hotel, the receptionist looking in slight fear at Kane, before giving them the key to their private hotel room. Lita walked upstairs, passing Evolution's room where there was immense sounds of rock music heard and the sounds of girls giggling, it sounded like Hunter was having a pillow fight again, before they reached their locker room, Lita opened it, and sighed as she looked around.
They had two large rooms, the one to the right was Lita's and the one to the left was Kane's. She started to walk towards her room but stopped, finding her voice.
"Kane?" she said, her voice small and quiet compared to his. He turned around slightly.
"Yes, Lita?" he said, his voice slightly croaky again as though Lita was making him nervous. Ha! What a stupid thought that was. But it had merit. They were after all husband and wife. And as much as Lita didn't want to admit it, he was growing on her. She was growing fond of the Big Red Machine, something she would've snorted at several months ago.
"Th-thanks," she stammered slightly, "For everything." She smiled softly at him before walking to her room, leaving the Big Red Machine confused, yet pleased that she was coming around.
After Lita put on a nightdress, she climbed into her double bed, the cold night and the cold sheets making her shiver slightly. She sighed softly, her hazel eyes wide open, something not feeling right. Hearing the door open she didn't move, not even when the Big Red Machine joined her in the bed, his arms folding around her. She smiled softly, content as she went to sleep.
