NOTE: I don't own any of the WWE superstars. I only own Ray and myself.

We got to the arena in about 10 minutes. By the time I got out of the car, my legs were shaking and wobbling.

"You drive like a speed demon," I said when I could finally speak.

"Not the only thing I can do fast," Taker said with a wink.

"Let's hope you can do it slow, too," I replied smartly. He couldn't reply quick enough. He just looked at me with one eyebrow raised.

Finally, he spoke. "You better stop talking like that. We still have a month, remember?"

"Shut. Up." I linked my arm in his and we walked into the arena. It felt nice to be holding on to him that way. He was so hot and I'd never imagined I'd be hanging out with him the way that I was...except maybe in my dreams.

"Well look who it is," came the voice I'd been dreading since I'd heard we were going to Jacksonville.

Taker and I both turned around to see a man. He was about 6'2" with a muscular build, hazel eyes, and dark hair.

I tried not to get all flustered. "Ray," I said in a cool voice. In my head, I though, Damn. My whole day just got ruined already!

"J," Ray said back. He pretended not to notice me holding on to Taker. "So how have you been lately, my little lady?"

"I'm not your lady," I snapped. "And things have been just great without you, thank you very much."

"Oh, you still have that smart mouth of yours," he noticed. "Better watch what you say to me, or I'll-"

"Or you'll what?" Taker interrupted, looking down his nose at Ray.

"This isn't involving you," Ray said to him. "Don't you have a wife and kids to worry about?"

"That's none of your business," Taker replied angrily. "While I'm with J, it's my job to worry about her. She is my business. Now what do you want?"

"J knows what I want. After all, she is my girlfriend," Ray said slowly.

"I am not your girlfriend, Ray!" I exclaimed. "I've been telling you that for a long time now!"

"No one dumps Ray," he said.

"I never dumped you because we never went out," I emphasized to him.

"Of course we did. No girl can resist me," he said. "I mean, look at me."

"Seems like J here did," Taker said. "And you have quite the ego."

"You don't know anything about me," Ray spat. "Or about my relationship with her."

"We don't have a relationship," I said. "When will you get that through your head?"

"Oh, around the same time you realize that you still want me," he said. "And you will, Baby Cakes, I'll make sure of that."

"Are you threatening her?" Taker asked, now furious.

"Yeah, and I'm threatening you, too, if you don't get out of my way!" Ray said bravely (and stupidly).

"I don't stand well with threats," Taker said, and before we knew what was happening, he had shoved Ray into the wall. Hard. Ray crumpled to the floor. "Come on, sweetheart, before I really lose my temper," he said to me.

"I'll see you around," Ray said from the floor where he'd landed. "I work here as part of the ring crew so that little thing against me will do you no good."

"Damn, that can't be good," I muttered as Taker hurriedly led me away.

"It sure as hell isn't," Taker spat. "Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?"

"That asswipe is not my boyfriend! We were friends for a while and when he wanted to take our so-called relationship to another level, I said no," I explained. "And then he started stalking me. If running away from him qualifies as a relationship then ok, I guess we had one."

"So he's a deranged stalker?" he asked me.

"Basically. He acts like one kiss made me his girl. He's the one who kissed me, and I didn't kiss him back!" I said angrily as I thought about all the hell Ray had taken me through.

"Just out of curiosity, how old is he?" he asked.

"27," I replied.

He raised his eyebrows at me. "And how in the world did you meet him?"

"Long story cut short, he was my 10th grade Chemistry teacher about 2 years ago," I said. "We always hung out, we flirted, I got good grades. But I actually did the work and earned my grades, despite the rumors. And I always told him that the flirting meant nothing."

"Is he still a teacher?"

"Nah, he quit after the first year was over. But we kept in touch," I said. "He was always so possessive, like we were actually a couple. I should've known he was bad news when he was my teacher when he would write guys up on referrals for just talking to me."

"Now that is just psychotic," he said. "Do you think he's dangerous?"

"Yes, definitely," I said. "I even had a restraining order put out on him. But he never cared about that. He would always take pictures while I was out with my friends and then he'd email them to me, just to let me know that he'd been there the whole time and I hadn't known..."

"We're going to talk to Vince," Taker said. When I went to protest, he gave me a look that silenced me completely. His green eyes burned like emeralds on fire. "This guy isn't going to be around here for long if I have anything to say about it."

I didn't argue with him. I knew there would be no use. Instead, I just concentrated on trying to keep up with his fast pace of walking. That man walked fast as hell when he wanted to!

When we got to Vince's door, Taker didn't stop to knock. He threw the door open, practically breaking it, and walked over to Vince's desk. Vince was in a meeting with JBL. JBL jumped up with his hands in front of him because he thought Taker would attack him.

"Mark? Something wrong?" Vince asked as Taker walked over to his desk.

Taker put his hands flat on Vince's desk and looked him in the eyes. "Damn right. We have a problem."

Seems like Taker is one determined man... We'll see! Next chapter coming someday soon.
