Think About It
Chapter 3:
Think About It
"You hang up, no you, you," Torrie was saying into the phone. Lita rolled her eyes. John and Torrie were in love and everyone knew it. Lita took the phone out of her friend's hand. "John, you guys are going to see each other any minute. Bye-bye," she said as she hung up the phone. Torrie pouted. "Okay, you guys officially make me sick," Lita said. "Well, Lita, as I recall you were exactly the same with Matt," Torrie replied. They both burst out laughing.
Suddenly, hands went over Torrie's eyes. "Guess who?" John whispered. He then whispered something to Torrie. As he walked away, Lita turned her head, questioningly. Torrie had a big smile on her face. "I think he's going to propose," she whispered to Lita. Lita smiled, but not a real smile. One of those smiles that someone gives you when they think something is wrong.
Flashback:
"Lita, I want to ask you something," Matt said to her, "But now's not the right time." Lita smiled, happy to see him again. She thought she knew what he wanted to ask her.
Later that night (not the end of flashback)
"Lita, remember I wanted to ask you something," Matt said to her. Lita smiled. 'This is it,' she thought. "How could you? Lita, we could have been together," Matt said, as a look of horror washed over her face. "Instead you came back. You care about your career more than me! Lita, we're over!"
End Flashback
Lita cringed at the last part of the flashback. She sat down unsteadily, a tear running down her cheek. 'That can't happen to Torrie,' she thought. She was breathing hard. 'Maybe John isn't Matt. Maybe he will do exactly what she thinks,' she thought. Then she saw Eddie walk by. "Eddie, I have to talk to you," she said.
"Torrie!" John shouted from the ring. From the locker room, Torrie stood up and walked out of the room. Suddenly a hand came down on Lita's shoulder. Seeing it was only Eddie, she put her hand on top of his and continued to stare at the television. "Do you think John really is going to hurt her?" She asked Eddie. Eddie looked at her. "No," he said.
Back in the ring, John said, "Torrie, I love you," taking her hand he continued. He got down on one knee and fumbled with something in his pocket. Lita and Eddie held their breathes. "Marry me?" John finally finished. A look of excitement flashed across Torrie's face. Lita sighed with relief. 'Happy endings, at last,' she thought.
