Chapter 26

We actually fell back asleep in each others arms…and when we woke up, we took a shower and ate some breakfast…then we went to the arena…we were all over each other it was just a casual thing…nothing hot and heavy and we just worked in our separate corners…I was doing some more writing while I watched him in the ring…with the new guys…and his friends. Every once in a while he'd look over towards me and wink…and I would just smile his way…and then go back to my writing…

A few weeks later…and we had 2 weeks left before we were to go back to the ranch and his friends would go back on the road to start up wrestling again. I started off at the arena one night with Mark and the boys as I referred to them…Probably around 5…I went over and tapped Mark on the shoulder…he turned around and looked down at me…and I smiled…he said, "How can I help you?" I said, "Well…Just to let you know…I'm heading back to the hotel with Stephanie and Trish…we're going to a swim in the pool…" Mark said, "Okay…but keep you're phone with you..." I said, "I will."

Mark put his hand under my chin and lifted my face as he leaned down and kissed my lips…I smiled and said, "I'll see you when you guys get back…don't work too hard." Mark smiled and said, "Yea…I know I won't…In fact I'll finish up early…and come join you in the pool." I said, "You've got yourself a date Mr. Callaway." Mark laughed as I walked away with Stephanie and Trish.

We got back to the hotel and went swimming…and as promised about an hour later, Mark walked in and noticed I was in the pool alone…he said, "Hey, where did Steph and Trish go?" I said, "Well…they got tired of swimming and went back to their room…but I waited for you…" Mark squatted down next to the side and said, "You give me 10 minutes and I'll go up and change into my trunks and come back down and join you." I said, "Okay…but hurry.." Mark left…

I didn't know I was being watched until I got out of the pool…I was laying on one of the lounge chairs…and had my eyes closed…I was so relaxed just thinking about how every day I spent with Mark…I just grew more and more attached to him…what was I going to do, if the police ever caught my stalker…Mark wouldn't be obligated to protect me anymore and I'd have to give him up…Move on with my life…and I just didn't want to leave him at the moment…

Mark was on the third floor of the hotel walking down the hallway to our room…he looked through the window and down to the pool to check on me…and I was just laying down…but out of the corner of his eye he saw something move…he looked over and there was a guy dressed in all black including a ski mask…he knew at that moment it was my stalker…

He ran to his room and grabbed his 9 mm…and ran back down to the pool…and busted through the door only to find just me sitting there…I said, "Mark, what is with the gun?"

Mark said, "Someone was in here…I know it…I saw him…he was watching you." I said, "Mark, no one's here." Mark said, "Are you sure?" I said, "Mark…I think you're seeing things honey." Mark put the gun in the back of his pants and I stood up and walked over to him and said, "Relax for a while…I'm going to go get in the sauna…okay." Mark said, "Okay." I said, "Also, if you'd like to join me in the ladies sauna…you're more then welcome to, because no one is in there…I'll be in there alone." Mark smirked and said, "Not a bad thought…I might join you in a few minutes." I winked and walked over to the ladies locker room and went in and got in the sauna…I was there for a minute…until I heard the door open and close…and I figured it was Mark…

I was wrong.

I stepped out of the sauna…only to be met by a fist to my face…I hit the floor and looked up and it was the guy in the black ski mask…I was extremely terrified…the guy reached up and pulled off the ski mask and I was in a complete state of shock…

I said, "Jerry? What the hell is going on?" He pulled out the knife…it was the same one that he stabbed into my hand. Jerry smiled evilly and said, "Do you have any idea how God damn long I've waited to get you away from that big fuckin' gorilla…he might be you're body guard but when he fell in love with you…that's when he stopped protecting you…I could have gotten to you so many times…but I wanted to wait for the right time…and when he said he was taking you to his home town…and you would be there with him for 6 months…I thought what a great way to kill someone…stab you and let you bleed to death on his home town…that would suck for him…"

I said, "Jerry…It was you the whole time wasn't it?" Jerry said, "Yea…I have to tell you…I owe you big time bitch, especially for that lovely kick in the balls you gave me…but I did love seeing you squirm when I stuck this knife through your hand…had to of hurt like hell…"

Jerry grabbed my arms and jerked me to my feet and then slammed me spine first against the wall and kept me there and stuck the knife to my throat…I whimpered as I felt the razor sharp knife against the flesh of my neck…one move either way and I was dead…

I stood as still as possible…Jerry moved my legs apart with his knee…and slid his knee to my crotch…and kept it there…he said, "I tried so hard in vain to get that guy I hired to fuck you that night at the record party, I was gonna take pictures of it and sell them to anyone who would buy them…but you fought him so good…and then that asshole had to come in and mess everything up…I knew you was still a virgin and I was dying to make money off of selling a video of you becoming a woman that night…and I was so close…" Jerry ran his other hand down my body painfully groping my breasts through my swimsuit top and then he slid his hand down further and into my swim and was being rough…

I was whimpering and had tears sliding down my cheeks; because it hurt…
