Chapter 21

After we'd been in Austin for about 2 weeks…and I'd been writing like crazy…I called my band and they came down to Austin and also brought a bunch of recording equipment…and we started to record a few songs in the arena…We set up the equipment about 100 feet from the ring…and would record between 4 am and 8…cause anything after 8…the guys would be in the ring practicing…and working out their storylines.

I had just gotten off the phone with Jaden and I took off to find Mark…I was running through the arena…and figured they were probably down by the ring…and ran down the ramp and yelled "MARK!" Mark jumped out of the ring and met me half way up the ramp and "Erin…is everything okay?" I stopped and smiled and said, "Yea…why wouldn't it be?" Mark ran his hand through his hair and said, "Jesus Christ girl…you nearly gave me a heart attack…I thought something was wrong." I said, "No…I've just been looking around for you…I was wondering if I could borrow your truck and go pick up Jaden in 2 hours?"

Mark let out a breath and said, "You nearly gave a 300 plus pounds man a heart attack, because you wanted to borrow my truck.." I touch Marks arm and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you…I was just excited cause Jaden is going to come to Austin for 2 weeks, while she's on Spring Break…plus I need her voice for my back ground vocals on a song."

Mark looked at Erin's tiny hand on his arm…and it felt like she was burning his skin, he could feel it radiating off her hand…and it was just creeping up his arm…Mark looked in her eyes as her smile danced across her lips…GOD! What the Hell was she doing to him…He was totally falling in love with her every day he was around her…but he also knew she was nothing more then a job to him…he wanted to just fire himself…but he couldn't do it. Mark wanted nothing more then to just be with her…but even if he wanted to be with her…he didn't know if she reciprocated his feelings…and the only one who was allowed to embarrass him was himself.

Mark smiled and said, "Sure…Just be careful okay." I said, "Thanks." I bounced around a little…Mark dug in his front pocket and handed me his keys…Mark said, "You can reach the pedals right?" I laughed and smacked his arm…and said, "Thanks a lot." Before I left Mark said, "How's your hand and side feeling?" I said, "The hand his fine…but my side kills me if I over do it singing…so I've been pacing myself." Mark said, "Well…I brought your pain pills with me…if you need them let me know…you want someone to come with you?" I said, "Nope…I'll be fine…thanks though." I stood on my tip toes and kissed his cheek lightly…and said, "I'll be back shortly…Thanks." I took off.

Mark nearly had himself a heart attack he couldn't believe that Erin had just kissed him…okay now he felt like a silly school boy with his first crush….damn it…what was she doing to him?

I took off to the Austin Airport and 2 hours later…I had Jaden sitting next to me…and we were talking…she wasn't going to be coming home or on tour with me for the next album…she was going to spend the summer at the school, doing her Internship…Jaden had 1 year left before she would graduate and become an official doctor…she would definitely be the first one in the family…she was excited and I was excited for her…she'd been working her ass of for the last 4 years to make it all happen…keeping her grades up and keeping her ass out of trouble…but still had time to do a little partying…

We talked a little on the way back to the arena…we stopped at the hotel first, so she could drop her suit case off…I didn't even see the car behind me…it was staying far enough away, that I couldn't tell they had been following since the airport.

When we got to the arena…I introduced Jaden to everyone…she immediately took a liking to Brock Lesner…The Next Big Thing…They actually hit it off pretty good…when we got back to the hotel later that night…Jaden and I decided it was time to check out the hotel pool…Jaden had on her fiery red bikini top with the matching swim shorts…but it was crochet…I had the same one only in black.

We walked out of the room, with towels slung over our shoulders, and our long hair was hanging down…and we stopped at Mark's hotel room…cause we could hear him and a bunch of the other guys laughing…I knocked on the door and Brock opened it a little and said, "What's the password?" Jaden and I pointed down, cause obviously he'd not seen what we were dressed in. Brock looked up and down letting his eyes trace over every curve of Jaden's body and then mine also. Brock said, "Never mind, I see you girls come with your own built in passwords." And he slowly opened the door and let us in Mark's room…

Mark was sitting in the chair when we walked in he looked over and about lost his eyeballs. Mark jumped to his feet as did any other guy in the room and he said, "Damn girl…go put some clothes on." I said, "We're going down to the pool dork…we need the exercise…and we also need the water therapy." Mark said, "You're just gonna go down there alone?" I said, "You feel like swimming with us…it looks to me as though you've got a few guests…" Mark smiled and said, "You're such a smart ass…" I smiled and said, "I know…so you coming or not Deadman?" Mark said, "Go ahead and go on down there…I'll be along shortly…"

Jaden and I left…but not before Brock decided he'd come down to keep an eye on us…Jaden was playing the damsel in distress as her and Brock threw each other around in the water…I went over and laid out on the diving board…the lights they had in the pool house were tanning lights…I was just going to tan for 30 minutes and then swim a little…I didn't realize it, but I had actually tanned for like an hour…when Brock and Jaden said they were going to grab some dinner…I actually fell asleep on the diving board…

About 30 minutes later, I was picked up and thrown into the water…I woke up really fast…when I came to the surface…Mark was standing on the diving board with his hands on his hips, laughing his ass off…I said, "So you think that's funny huh?" Mark said, "I know so…" He had swim trucks on…no shirt and I was in freakin' heaven…I swam under water until I was under the diving board…and I pushed myself out of the water and grabbed the diving board…and jerked it really good…and Mark lost his balance and hit the water with a loud !SPLASH!

I swam over to the side and when he surfaced he was spitting water and cussing up a storm…I hopped up on the concert side of the pool…and laughed. Mark swam over and said, "Okay…I give up…that was pretty good…You actually got me back…" I rolled my eyes and said, "Like I wouldn't…get real, to challenging to not do it." I flicked my foot across the water and threw water at Mark…and he laughed…I smiled and said, "You look like a big ole hairy monster now…you're braid came out."

Mark said, "Gee, thanks…Can you help me re-braid it?" I said, "What for? You look so much better with your hair down…or just pulled into a low tail" Mark looked at me with one eye brow raised and said, "Really?"
