I do as Shawn says and get in the car. I start trying to gather the thoughts in my head and prepare for our conversation. When Shawn gets into the car, he pulls me toward him and we start making out like a couple of teenagers. This goes on for a couple of minutes before we separate and Shawn starts the car and starts driving toward our hotel.
Well, after all the kissing, I don't think he wants to talk about forgetting everything that had happened between us thus far, so that's a good sign. Then again maybe not, now I don't have a clue what he wants to talk about. Once I realize this I really start to worry. What did he want to talk about? About two minutes after he started driving, Shawn turns to me and says, "So what did you mean earlier when you said you had wanted to kiss me a lot longer than twenty-four hours?"
Oh boy, he didn't beat around the bush did he? "Hmm, I was hoping that we could just ignore that. Would you believe me if I said that it didn't mean anything, that I was just babbling?" I asked hopefully.
Shawn shakes his head as he watches the road in front of us, "We could, but I think that it's something more than that. I'm curious about what you meant." Well it looks like I'm not going to get out of this one. I think for a minute, trying to weigh my words, because after I admit this, I'm afraid that it will be over. I glance over at Shawn and can see that he is waiting for me to say something.
I guess that I better just get it over with. I take a deep breath, "Ok, we've already established that I've been a fan of the business since I was a teenager, and that I had posters of my favorite wrestlers hanging on my bedroom walls, right?" Before Shawn can respond, I continue, "well, you have been one of my favorite wrestlers since your Midnight Rockers days, and you were one of the posters hanging on my wall. I'm not ashamed of the fact, but it's one of the reasons that I've never told Kev just whose posters were there. I did not want anything to be weird. I mean I can imagine what you might think after I told you this. I never wanted it to come out, because I didn't want anything to be weird. I didn't want you or anyone here to think that I would come around and act like some insane fan trying to hook up with any wrestler she could get her hands on. Then again, look at the situation with Paul, I didn't have to do or say anything for someone to have issues with me. For the life of me I can't figure that one out." I shut up really quickly as I realized that I had started babbling again. I've already demonstrated that my mouth can run away from my brain too often.
By the time that I shut up we have already reached the hotel parking lot. Shawn pulls into an empty parking spot and turns off the car. Before I can make my fast getaway and escape the car, Shawn grabs my arms and turns me to face him. "I can't pretend that it's not a little weird to be attracted to someone who had my picture on their wall as a teenager, but it is flattering that you would do that. As for me worrying about your motives, I can tell that you are not just some rat out for a good time. I know that you are a normal responsible person, and not some psycho. We're both attracted to each other right? We haven't known each other that long right?" I nod in response "You're leaving Monday afternoon, what do you say that we just enjoy the rest of the time and get to know each other a little better?" Shawn gives me a quick hug before he jumps out and runs around the car to open my door.
"Sounds good to me. What did you have in mind?" I ask as I get out of the car. "How about breakfast or lunch tomorrow?" "Great, but I do have to check with Kevin and Trish. I did come to visit them and we have not gotten to spend much time together. I think that they may have planned something since it's a day off and they aren't leaving here until Monday. How about you joining us or something" I suggest. "I wasn't sure if I was going to head out tomorrow or stick around another day, but I went ahead and reserved my room here another day just in case. Let's just see what happens. I definitely want to spend more time with you before we all go our own ways." Shawn agrees.
When we walked into the hotel we did not see any of the other wrestlers or Kevin and Trish around the hotels 24 hour coffee shop. We figured everyone had already settled in their rooms for the night, so we decided to head on upstairs. Being the gentleman that he is, Shawn walked me to my room door. Before we parted ways we agreed to talk in the morning to decide what the plan was. With that settled, he kissed me and bid me a good night. I walked in the room thinking that I kind of wished that he had asked to come in for a little while. I don't think that I would have let him spend the night this early in whatever was happening, that would have been moving entirely too fast for me, but I definitely would have liked to spend more time talking with him or making out like teenagers. Either one would have been fine with me.
As I was about to settle into bed and watch a little TV before calling it a night, there is a knock on the door. 'Great maybe Shawn changed his mind and wants to visit a little longer tonight' I think as I move toward the door. When I open it I am surprised to see Kevin standing there and not Shawn. "Hey. You look disappointed that it's me standing here. Who were you hoping it would be." Kevin says cocking an eyebrow.
"Don't eyebrow me! I'm not disappointed. I was just surprised is all, I thought that you and Trish were otherwise detained and would not be up for air until tomorrow morning." I say, as Kevin closes the door and follows me into the room.
"I just thought we might visit for a while, since I was too busy today and did not get to spend any time with you. Kevin says as he sits down. "Ok great sounds good whacha want to talk about?" I ask as I plop down on the bed. "Whatever you want to. How bout we start with you and Shawn?" He asks settling back in his chair as if preparing for the long haul.
"Ok. What about Shawn and me, there's not really much to tell, I've only known the guy for about 32 hours, there's not much to tell." I shrug. I have nothing to hide. "Ok, so the kissing I saw earlier—what was that?"
"Just what you said, kissing. We are attracted to each other and have kissed a few times, but that's it. We have decided to get to know each other and go from there. As for what's going to happen between us, I'm not sure. It's nothing serious, we are just kind of going with the flow. He wants to get together for breakfast or lunch tomorrow, but I told him that I might have plans with you and Trish." I look him in the eyes and ask the one thing I'm now curious to know, "Would it really bother you if I was to get involved with him, since he is one of your best friends?"
"As long as I don't stop and think about the things that you guys might be doing, I'm ok with it. I mean you are my sister. I know if you guys want something to happen then I know I can't stop it. Just be careful." Kev says looking a bit uncomfortable.
"That's ok brother dear, this type of thing is a situation where I will look before I fling myself off of the cliff. As for any details, I certainly won't be sharing them with you. I don't like to think about some of the things that you and Trish might or might not be doing either. I mean eww you are my brother after all!" I laugh throwing a pillow at him. "Now that's out of the way, how 'bout you fill me in on the reason that Paul has decided to use me as his own private punching bag so to speak. He is another of your friends, right? I've never met the guy, so I don't have a clue why he wants to throw me under the bus. But I can tell you I won't just set around and take it, I'll give back as good as I get. So what's the deal?" I ask leaning forward. I can't wait to hear this explanation.
AN: Again thanks for the reviews! I just had inspiration hit me again this morning so I thought I would go ahead and update. As I keep saying, unfortunately I own nothing. Vince owns it all.
