Chapter 29

So at 6:15 a.m., Paul and I went to breakfast…but it really didn't stop there…cause then we went to dinner that night…the lunch the next day…then we went to a few different places and had lunch and then dinner…we spent an obscene amount of time together, since he was there for the week…I think it was probably right after the 8 dinner, when Paul walked me to my apt door, and suddenly it wasn't two old friends having fun anymore…it got a serious tone to it…

Paul went to say good-bye to me, but the words wouldn't come out…instead he cupped my face in his massive hands and gave me an earth shattering kiss…I swear, just feeling his tongue move gracefully around inside my mouth to study it, was enough to make me weak in the knees…which is probably why it was a good thing that he wrapped his arms around my waist, cause I was just waiting for my legs to give out on me…and have my ass end up on the ground…

All I could think was 'GOOD GOD'…When we parted I said, "Wow."

Paul said, "Yea, me too."

I said, "So, now that you got that off your chest, you wanna tell me where we go from here?"

Paul said, "I don't know…I never intended to just kiss you without warning…"

I said, "Its okay…I mean, do you hear me complaining?"

He said, "No, I guess not…but you are right about one thing…where do we go from here..."

I said, "I don't know…but where ever we do…let's go slow…"

Paul said, "I fully agree, I don't want you to be a rebound…if this is something really serious between us…then let's not screw it up, by not understanding everything fully."

I smiled and said, "I fully agree…"

So we started dating a little…a little here…a little there…he would fly to New York to take me out for special dinner dates that were absolutely the most romantic things I had even been on with anyone in my life…I even told him he didn't have to fly out…Paul said, "If it's worth doing…then it's worth doing it right…and you're worth it."

This was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to me…

After 2 months of some shy-shy dating…we kicked it up a notch and got a little more serious…we were constantly on one big fun date, talking on the phone…I don't think two people spent more time talking on the phone then us…AT&T and Nextel were happy phone companies with our money in their pockets. A month later, I was back on the wrestling tour and by now pretty much everyone knew we were a pretty easy going couple…going every where…but constantly having fun, no matter what.

Paul and I would walk back stage hand in hand, and he'd pull me behind a curtain to steel a kiss…thank goodness, cause I really enjoyed his kisses…it was always so nice to know someone cared about me…you know other then me…
