Assignment: Love

((Chapter 2))

Lucky woke as she felt the plane land. She didn't mean to fall asleep and by the look on Mark's face she'd had another nightmare.

"Thought you were going to start screaming there for a second." Mark said, staring at her.

"Must have had a nightmare." Lucky said, grabbing her bag from the overhead compartment.

"Let me take that." Mark said, grabbing for her bag.

"No. I can carry it." Lucky insisted.

"Okay fine. But when we get to the arena and the hotel in front of the guys let me carry whatever. They know I'm that type of guy." Mark said.

Lucky laughed. "Yes sir."

The two got a limo sent by Vince to the arena.

"You have to take off the jacket. My women wear little shirts." Mark said, pointing toward the jacket she was wearing.

"Fine." Lucky said, taking off her jacket. She felt naked as his eyes raked over her body. She was wearing a skin tight Harley Davidson tank top and a pair of tight, low-cut blue hip huggers. Mark helped her out of the limo. She walked along the halls and looked at all the guys Mark had filled her in about.

"Who's that?" Lucky asked, nodding toward a brunette woman flirting with an older man.

"Oh that's Dawn Marie." Mark said.

"Hey Mark, Lucky." Vince said. "We're having our meeting in the conference room."

Lucky held Mark's hand as they entered the room. She didn't look at the people, she knew what they were probably thinking. A young, dumb, blonde and older, smart, successful man. Gold-digger. Lucky didn't know why but she wasn't even into the 'show' they were supposed to be putting on for the guys she just wrapped her arms around Mark and hugged him closely as she lay her head on his chest. For some reason she became nervous, scared and like she was being watched. She sighed out loud when Mark wrapped his big, strong arms around her and held her to him.

"Everyone as you heard Mark did get married. I'd like you to meet his beautiful wife, Lucky." Vince said, pointing toward them.

"Say hi darlin'." Mark whispered.

"Hi everyone." Lucky said, turning and looking at the room full of people.

"Okay now we're going to meet the RAW roster in the cafeteria for some food before the pay-per-view." Vince said, leaving the room.

"You mean there's more?" Lucky asked.

"Yeah don't you watch wrestling?" Mark asked, leading her down the hall, behind the rest of the group.

"Only SmackDown. I usually work on Monday's but I watched it until I started working." Lucky said. "At least I'll know ALL about your career and most of the guys you work around most of the time."

"Are you nervous?" Mark whispered.

"A little. I'm not used to being around a lot of people and not being able to pull rank." Lucky whispered.

Lucky held onto his hand tightly as they entered the cafeteria. The RAW roster wasn't there yet so Lucky followed Mark threw line as he got his food. She got a soda and carried it as she followed Mark to the table.

"Don't you want anything to eat darlin'?" Mark asked.

"Kathie never was much of an eater." She heard the voice say behind her.

Lucky felt her hand slip off the glass of soda and saw it fall to the floor, as if it was in slow motion. She turned and looked right into the face from her nightmares.
