Disclaimer: I don't own the people in this story, but you all knew that already.
A/N: Well, after almost a week, here is the latest chapter in this story. I hope that you enjoy it, and make sure to check out Someday, if you haven't already.
"Do you have all of your stuff? You didn't leave anything vitally important?" I asked her, still trying to shake off the effects of my dream. Amy smiled and shook her head.
"For the tenth time, no, I didn't leave anything." She said. "You'd better hurry up and find Vince before he leaves, though, otherwise you could be in some deep crap." I nodded and handed her the key card for the room.
"Go and check out, and I'll meet you in the lobby, all right?" Amy nodded and headed in the direction of the lobby. I turned to go the other way and find Vince.
It didn't take me any longer than a few minutes to find his room, but when I did, I had the sudden sensation that someone was watching me. Before knocking on the door, I looked around me slowly.
There was no one even in the hallway, so there was no logical explanation for the paranoia, but I still couldn't shake the feeling. I raised my hand to knock right as the door flew open.
"Ah, there you are, Chris. I was about to leave without you." Vince said, smiling. I lowered my hand. "Walk with me." He said and we both walked down the hallway at an ungodly slow pace. I sighed and kept his pace. "With this job, you might not be able to wrestle too. There simply might not be enough time for it."
"I can multi task, Vince. There's no problem there." I said, reminding him of how I juggled wrestling, TV spots, and a band. Vince nodded.
"Very true. Meetings for this are not really scheduled. I simply call everyone up when I feel like there needs to be a meeting." I nodded. "Your job will be to simply accept or reject the ideas for storylines that are placed out on the table. You may also present your own ideas for everyone else to vote on." We came to the elevator and he hit the call button. He turned to face me.
"You'll do fine, Chris. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask." I nodded.
"Thanks Vince." I said and headed for the stairs.
"Don't like elevators?" he asked me. I stopped and turned to face him.
"Let's just say that I don't have much luck with elevators." I told him, and continued to the stairs.
As soon as I walked out into the lobby, I spotted Amy. She hadn't noticed me yet, and it seemed like she was desperately trying to get away from whomever was talking to her. I soon realized why.
Glen was talking to Amy, as he had been doing recently since there was a rumor that they were to start a storyline with their characters, Kane and Lita. I quickened my pace to get over to her.
"So, what are you doing tonight, Amy?" Glen asked her. Amy looked around again for any idea on an escape plan and she saw me. The relief on her face was evident.
"Chris is taking me out to dinner," she said as I walked up. "Right Chris?" I nodded.
"Sure am, why?" I asked, playing dumb. Glen gave me a glare, and for a moment I thought that he was going to start choking me. Even if he did, I could easily overpower him.
"Glen was just wondering what I was doing tonight," Amy said, linking her arm with mine. I nodded.
"Ah, I see." I said, looking at her and winking with the eye Glen couldn't see. "Well, we need to be getting along. We'll see you at the next house show, right Glen?" I asked pleasantly.
"Sure." Glen said and walked off. I stood there for a moment, and turned to Amy.
"That was awesome!! Thank you so much!!" she gushed. I held up my hands for her to stop.
"You realize that now we're going to have to at least act like we're going out?" I asked her. She shrugged.
"So?" I smiled.
"I didn't know if you were going to be okay spending your time with me." I said. She smiled.
"I think I could spend forever with you." She said. The smile left my face. I turned to look out the window of the hotel lobby, ignoring Amy's questions about what was wrong.
"I could spend forever with you." A voice echoed. I began to lower my eyes to the floor. I knew that voice well.
"I could spend forever with you." Adina told me as we lay on the beach, watching the sunset over the ocean. We were both fairly young, but older than most in our village when they married. I turned to face her.
"It's nice to hear you say that because I was actually going to ask you to marry me tonight." I said. She turned to me with a look of shock on her face.
"I thought you would never ask, Khalon." She said, then leaned over and kissed me.
"So, I'll take this as a 'yes'?" I asked her, smiling. She grinned.
"Yes." She said and leaned back in to kiss me again.
"Chris?" Amy asked gently. I looked away from her.
"Yeah?" I whispered.
"You okay?" she asked. I nodded.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'll be fine." I said, and wondered. I wondered if I really would be fine. I wondered if I was losing my mind.
Then I wondered if the past was ever going to stay there and stop haunting me.
