Chapter 19
I had tears sliding down my cheeks…I never realized Mark was feeling the same way I was…God I just got back home…I'm crazy…I can't believe I'm doing this…I turned speaker phone back on and said, "Call Stephanie."…My phone said, "Calling Stephanie." It rang a few hundred times and a voice said, "Lori….you shit…what are you doing?"
I said, "Trying to figure out where you guys are?" Steph said, "We're in Seattle…why what's wrong? Are you looking for Mark?" I said, "Nothing's wrong…yes I'm looking for Mark…but I'm don't want him knowing…I'll be there for Smackdown tomorrow night…probably after his match…"
Steph said, "What's going on…you guys just left each other this morning…" I said, "Steph…I'm in love with him…and I have to tell him face to face or I'll hate myself for the rest of my life…Please keep it to yourself…I wanna surprise him."
Steph said, "Sure Lori…anything you want." I said, "Thanks Steph…see you tomorrow night." She said, "Okay." We hung up…and I pulled my laptop out and found a flight to Seattle for the early morning…
The next morning I was on the flight and when I got to Seattle it was probably around 5 pm…I got a rental car and headed over to the arena…which was about 45 minutes from the airport…
When I got to the arena…I walked in the back door and showed my ID…then I stopped by the match schedules and noticed Mark was already in the ring…I walked down and stood in the back just behind the titan tron curtains…
Mark won obviously…he didn't even break a sweat…he walked through the curtains…and saw me standing there with my hands in my back pockets…
Mark said, "I oughta bust your ass…I've been calling and calling…you had me worried to death you know that right? Why didn't you answer your phone girl?"
I said, "I had some thing I was thinking about…I mean you do realize I do have a life of my own ya know." Mark put his hands on his hips and said, "Are you getting Sassy with me girl?" I said, "Of course…" Mark started to say something when I held up my hand and cut him off…and said, "So…um…that message that you left on my voice mail last night…I was wondering how much of that statement was true?"
Mark said, "Come closer and find out for yourself." I smiled and walked closer…and Mark slid his arm around me and lifted me with one arm to be level with him…and I wrapped my legs around his waist and he slid both hands under my ass so I wouldn't fall…I smiled and leaned over and kissed his lips…we stood in the hallway kissing for a good 15 minutes…and when we pulled back I said, "I love you Mark." Mark smiled and said, "I love you too girl."
