CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Date: February 14, 2005

Day: Monday

Dear Journal,

Time is short tonight, and that's funny because I have so much to say! Today has been one of the best days of my life. When Stephanie first came out there during my match with Hunter, I was captivated by her presence. She looked so amazing, so beautiful. But everything that happened after that is what makes today so special for me. She told me that she loved me, and that she wanted to be with me forever. Forever! In the ring she was talking about how marriage was on her mind and everything, and then on the ramp she said she wanted to be with me forever. If she thinks that I didn't catch the subtle hints that she was dropping, then she doesn't know me very well...

She told me that she would get on her knees and beg me to forgive her. Now, the old me, the one who would insult her because I didn't know how to admit that I liked her... The old me would've said something along the lines of, "On your knees, eh Princess? Your customers tell me you're in that position quite a lot!" But the new and improved me, the one who's not afraid to tell the world that I love her... I didn't say it. Instead, I said that wouldn't be necessary. I had already forgiven her the moment she said that she loved me...

Poor Hunter. I hated him yesterday and I'm not particularly liking him today, but I pity him. Stephy and I gave him the roses and the chocolate that she bought me. No woman has ever bought me roses, so it kind of sucked to part with them, but Hunter needs them more than I do. He lost a woman as great as Stephy, and that makes me wonder, did he ever truly know what he had? If he did, I doubt he would've gone after Trish... But to be honest, I'm so glad that he did, because now Stephy is mine, and I'm never, eeeeever letting her go again!

I remember when we first came backstage, everyone kept coming up to us and saying that they knew we would get together someday. Stephy was just like, "Then why the hell didn't one of you assclowns tell us? Could've saved us a lot of time!" I thought it was so cute that she used my word. She makes everything sound adorable, even the word assclown... Truthfully, I wouldn't have needed anyone to tell me that I love Stephanie. I've known it since we met. Since that first day Vince introduced us and I shook her hand and felt the sparks fly... I knew that she was going to be someone special in my life. Looks like I was right.

But who am I kidding? I'm The King of the World! I'm always right!

Well, I've been in this bathroom a bit too long now. Stephy might get the wrong idea if I stay in here much longer, if you catch my drift. I've been done showering for about five minutes now, but I had to take the time to sit down and write. I am completely nervous now. Right after we got back to my locker room, I made her wait here while I left. She doesn't know where I went... I drove to this jewelry place and got my money back for that promise ring I bought yesterday. With the money back from that and a hell of a lot more money out of my pocket, I bought her the most beautiful engagement ring I could find. On the way back to the arena, I called that restaurant back, and luckily I was able to get my reservations back.

I have a great night planned for Stephy... I'm going to take her to the restaurant... They're going to shine a spotlight on us. I'm going to ask her to be my wife. I'm hoping she'll say yes. I might die if she says no. Wait a minute... Of course she won't say no! I'm The King of the World, and I bought her this amazing ring! She'll say yes, definitely, because this ring is fit for a princess...

She's still my princess, but after tonight, I have a feeling she's going to be my queen...

More Next Time (if there's ever a next time),

Chris

P.S. I'm going to have to take a little break from writing in this journal. If...no, WHEN...Stephy says yes, I'm going to be dishing out some large doses of Vitamin C every night, so I'll be a bit too busy to write...

A/N: So how'd you guys like this? It was actually pretty fun to write this. I can't believe I finished it already! Now I have to try to work on my other stories... Anyway, please review! Thanks for reading!
