Tanya woke with a thud as Mark kicked the side of the bed she was sleeping on.
"Hello?" He mumbled answering his phone. Tanya pulled her face out of where it was planted finding she had crashed out face down in Adams crotch.
She blinked getting a bearing on her surroundings. Mark was arched between the two beds. Erica was on the floor with one leg on him and the other in his lap. She was mangled with one arm in her shirt and a red thong.
"What did they do last night?" She chuckled to her self. Mark flipped the phone shut and dropped it again. As soon as it hit the floor it rang again the noise was loud and obnoxious Tanya grabbed her head flinching.
"Hello?" Mark mumbled kicking off the bed grabbing it. Tanya flung off the bed snatching the phone from his hand.
"Do you know what time it is?" She yelled making her already painful head ach worse.
"Uh… Who is this?" A deep voice came from the other line.
"That isn't…Hey I asked you a question first! It's too damn early to be calling people don't you know that?" She yelled again grabbing her head.
"I'm sorry I didn't know four in the afternoon was early." The man said sarcastically. "Can I talk to my brother now?" He asked.
"Fuck off!" She yelled hanging it up and dropping the phone in Marks lap.
"Who was that?" Mark smirked, moving Erica so she was no longer flung over him.
"Your brother." She said quietly looking for Ashley who seemed to be missing.
"Where are you pants woman?" Mark chuckled looking at her. Tanya looked down spotting her black thong and shrugged.
"I guess we all were busy last night." She laughed.
"There you are." Tanya burst out laughing spotting Ashley lying face down on the fire escape. "Wake up!" She yelled pounding on the window. There was no movement. "Wake up, WAKE UP!" She yelled pounding harder on the window again.
The tiny auburn haired woman moved to her back and cracked an eye open.
"What the hell are you doing out there?" The brunette laughed.
"I got sick." She mumbled crawling through the small crawl space back inside.
"Why do you still have all your clothes on?" Tanya asked in a fake jealous tone.
"Cause we played strip poker. I won a lot." She laughed.
Tanya looked to the bed and noticed Adam was regaining consciousness. "I feel like I got hit in the face with a truck." He muttered sitting up.
"You're preaching to the choir." Tanya mused.
"Why don't you have pants on?" He asked, scratching his head.
"Oh that's nothing I woke up with my face in your crotch." She laughed. Adam blushed and shot his eyes to the floor.
"It seems you beat everyone last night." Mark smiled to Ashley as she spotted the nearly naked Erica still sleeping on the floor.
"Yeah I even beat you." She beamed, pointing to his shoeless feet.
"Well I'll be damned big bad Taker lost a card game." Adam laughed out right.
"Taker?" Tanya raised an eyebrow as she wandered out of the bathroom.
"It's a stupid joke." Mark said giving Adam an awkward glance.
"Riiiight." Tanya said raising an eyebrow. "So you wanna wake up Erica so we can eat and get back on the road?" She asked before wandering back in the bathroom.
Mark leaned over Erica and kissed her softly on the cheek "Wake up baby girl.' He drawled.
Erica cracked an eye open and closed it again. Then, she opened her eyes wide again noticing the large man leaning over her with a smile on his face. Without rationalizing, she started swinging at him.
"Not so fast mother fucker!" She yelled clocking him in the jaw before pulling her arm back in her shirt.
"Good morning to you too." He chuckled rubbing his jaw. Erica's face turned a dark color of red as she realized whom her attacker was.
"Sorry, I guess Tanya didn't warn you that I'm not the best morning person." She smiled hesitantly.
"It's okay." He smiled leaning in and giving her a small kiss on her lips.
"Alright who gave me a hickey?" Tanya blurted busting out of the bathroom holding up the edge of her shirt showing the small bruise on her hip.
"That'd be Adam." Ashley giggled. Tanya looked to Adam with a panicked look then back to her.
"What did we do last night?" She said an octave higher than her normal voice. "You guys made out a lot. Then you guys thought it was funny to give each other hickies." Tanya made a face like she just drank sour milk, and laughed walking in the bathroom.
"What was that face about?" Adam asked looking to Erica.
"I think that was her nice way of saying you're not her type." Mark smirked answering him.
"Where are my pants?" Erica gasped suddenly noticing a lack of clothes. Tanya wandered back out of the bathroom and chucked them at here head.
"Get dressed so we can get out of here." She chuckled pulling on her own.
The five got dressed and packed there the things and made there way to the lobby. "Jacinda!" Tanya beamed spotting the desk clerk as she walked through the door.
"Oh… hi…" She muttered taking a step back as Tanya walked toward her.
"I guess this is good bye." Tanya smiled offering her hand. The small desk clerk flinched visibly letting out a faint shriek as she ran into the back room. Tanya began laughing hysterically.
"I thought we were friends." She snorted leading the others to the lot.
"Where to?" Erica smiled to Tanya. Tanya took a deep breath, fishing through her pockets retrieving a pair of sunglasses.
"Left?" She shrugged smiling.
"Sounds good to me." The red head nodded pulling on her own sunglasses.
"Left it is then." The short brunette giggled kicking over her engine. The tall blond gave Mark a confused look then shook it off as the girls pulled a head.
"You comin?" Erica called over the roar of here engine. Both men nodded as the girls led the way. About a mile down the road Tanya spotted a small diner on the road and signaled for the rest of them to pull in as she turned. Tanya hopped off her bike and shook her head as the others pulled in.
"You guys are slow." She chastised.
"Sorry some of us aren't as good at kicking a hang over as others." Mark said walking into the diner hooking Erica's arm playfully as he walked.
"I feel like I should be skipping or something." Erica laughed.
"I do not skip." Mark chuckled.
"Where do you wanna sit?" Mark asked looking around at the nearly empty diner.
"Here is good." She smiled taking a booth in the back. The others flooded in Tanya plopped down and smirked at Adam as he cautiously took a seat next to her. Ashley grabbed a chair and pulled it to the edge of the table. An over weight old woman wondered over to the table and set down menus on the corner of the table.
"Hi y'all my name is Bertha welcome to Poppit's Coney Island. I'll be your waitress." She let out a freakishly large smile at Adam as he grabbed his menu. "Can I get y'all something to drink?" She asked in her nasal accent.
"I think we'll all be having coffee." Mark chuckled looking around the table at the agreeing faces.
"That has to be the most formal greeting I've ever gotten at a diner ever." Tanya giggled.
The swinging door to the kitchen flung open and a wild eyed tall skinny man scurried out of the kitchen over to the table.
"Hi my name is Jason, but everyone calls me Poppit, and this is my restaurant." He rambled in one breath. "Can I get you any thing do you want water or some food, what ever you order is on the house; you just give the word and it's free. Bertha, you here me? Everything if free for The Undertaker, and his friends." He smiled at the group.
"You don't feel odd accepting free things because you're …" The wiry man trailed off when he set eyes on Adam on the other side of the booth. "You're, you're Edge." He beamed.
"Can I get your autographs to put in my wall?" He smiled shuffling through his pockets and pulling out a pen and paper. Mark scrunched his eyebrows up and signed his name on the paper and shot it across the table to Adam who did the same before passing it back. The man clutched the piece of paper to his chest and ran back into the kitchen.
Tanya cleared her throat and shot a look to Mark.
"Undertaker? Edge?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"Those are our ring names." He said plainly looking away.
"Ring names?" She questioned further.
'Okay…we're professional wrestlers." He answered looking to them for response.
"Like…Grrr?" Tanya said flexing at them. Mark laughed and patted her on the head.
"Is that the international sign for wrestling?" Adam laughed.
"I dunno; it's first thing that came to mind." She laughed.
"Yes like Grrr." He giggled mocking her body movements.
"So you're like on TV?" Tanya asked raising her eyebrow to Erica.
"Yeah we're pretty famous." He said quietly.
"Wow, I feel like a jackass." Erica said accepting her coffee as the waitress returned to the table.
"Why do you say that?" said sipping his coffee.
"Cause you're all famous and stuff, and what are we nothing? Nobodies?" She chuckled to herself dumping sugar in her cup.
"I wouldn't go around calling yourself nothing after all you are my soul mate." He smiled impishly grabbing her hand. Erica smiled as he leaned in kissing her softly on the cheek.
"Wow enough of this cutesy crap I want food." Tanya chuckled waving the waitress over. "Yeah… I want the number two with hash browns and lots of butter on my pancakes." She smiled handing the waitress her menu.
"That sounds good I'll have the same." Ashley smiled handing over her menu.
"Just coffee here." Mark said.
"Can I have a hamburger and fries? Adam said.
The waitress smiled nodding as she scribbled in her little pad. "And you ma'am?" she asked looking to Erica.
"I'll have a bagel with cream cheese." She smiled handing over the menu. "I don't know about that whole soul mate thing." She smiled up at him returning a kiss.
"Oh why not?" He raised an eyebrow pulling her so she was sitting next to him.
Erica opened her mouth to speak but was hushed when Mark planted a kiss on her.
"I was gonna say cause you haven't even given me a real kiss but I guess you took care of that." She blushed leaning in for another kiss.
"Wow, its like were not even here." Tanya mused.
Erica looked to her and stuck out her tongue as Tanya showed a vulgar finger.
"Ooh food!" Tanya beamed spotting the waitress as she exited the kitchen followed by Poppit.
"Tell me how you like it I cooked it myself! Hope you like it." He said quickly before returning to the kitchen.
"That guy ain't right…" Tanya mumbled stealing one of Adams fries.
Mark jumped at the sound of the same familiar annoying ring of his phone.
"Hello?" He said.
"She's not a piece of ass!" He yelled slamming his hand on the counter.
"She's a friend."
"Yeah that's all!" He continued.
Tanya looked up from her pancakes eyeballing him. "He's talking about me isn't he?" She asked.
Mark attempted to put his hand up but Tanya snatched the phone before he could react.
"I'm guessing this is the brother right!" She yelled.
"Yeah this would be him." He answered.
"Look I'm not a whore, and if I was I sure as hell wouldn't be putting out for your brother." She paused.
"No offense." She whispered putting her hand over the receiver. Mark shook his head and smiled as she went back to yelling at his brother.
"You have some nerve, you don't even know me. What right do you have to think…" Tanya snapped the phone shut and handed it back to him. "He hung up on me." She pouted.
Then she picked up the phone and started scrolling through the phone book.
"Just what do you think you're doing little girl?" He asked grabbing at the phone.
"I'm gonna call him back." She smiled mischievously.
"He's Glen." He said nonchalantly as she continued scrolling through the book. Tanya smiled wickedly and hit the send button.
"Hello?" the voice came from the other end.
"Glen?" she asked.
"Oh not this again, I'm not in the mood to fight with a stranger. I was just wondering when my brother was going to come back to work." He said quickly.
Tanya paused putting her hand over the phone.
"He wants to know when you're coming back to work." She whispered.
"In a couple of weeks." Mark smiled.
"He says when he damn well feels like it." She smiled as Mark shook his head at her. "Or two weeks what ever comes first." She beamed.
"Alright then... Can I talk to Mark?" He asked.
"He's busy playing kissy face with my friend right now." She laughed out right.
"Okay then I guess I'll let you go then." He said softly.
"No, I'm not done talking to you." She giggled. "Hold on."
"Move." She said scooting Adam out of the booth and walked off talking on the phone.
"Where is she going?" Mark asked watching her walk outside.
"Hell if I know looks like she likes your brother after all." She laughed stealing a pancake from Tanya's abandoned plate.
"That could be a good thing for him." Mark said matter-of-factly.
"Why do you say that?" Erica asked.
"His brother has been a hermit for the past year. He sticks to himself, and doesn't go out of his way to meet people." Adam answered.
"…And you think Tanya, what? Is going to be his savior?" She teased.
"Well Tanya isn't exactly shy…"
"…And you think she's going to start a relationship over the phone?" She giggled.
"Well no... I thought maybe, you could come visit us when we go back to work…" He said hesitantly looking into her eyes.
"Well I can't say for everyone, we'll have to see where we're at then." She smiled kissing him softly on the cheek.
"Here comes the savior now." Ashley smiled spotting Tanya walking in with a huge smile on her face.
"He sounds nice." Tanya smiled making Adam move over as she sat.
"Can I have my phone back?" he asked holding his hand out.
"Oh yeah." She giggled dropping the phone in his hand.
"They want us to come visit them at one of their shows." Erica smirked to Tanya.
"We'll that all depends on where the road takes us." Tanya said raising an eyebrow.
"Speaking of which…" Erica said.
"Yeah it's about time to get back on the road." Tanya agreed.
"Are we still going left?" Ashley chuckled.
"Sounds good to me, why don't you lead this time?" Erica smiled leading the group outside.
"I guess so, but if I get lost?" She relented.
"I'm going to tell you the first thing I learned when I hit the road. You can't get lost when you don't know where you're going." Tanya smiled swinging a leg over her bike.
Mark grabbed Erica and pulled her tightly to him. "Can I have a kiss before you go?" He asked leaning toward her.
"I thought you were coming with us." She looked up at him with an almost painful look.
"I didn't think we were invited." He said plainly.
"We'll you are." She smiled broadly pulling him down in a kiss.
"Not again…get on your bike already old man." Adam chuckled. Mark smiled knowingly to him and got on his bike.
"Lead the way little lady!" He boomed over his motor and pulled out on to the road behind them.
