I was sitting at the table, eating a left-over quesadilla - I was really loving Mexico. We'd been there for a month already. I'd never been so tan in my life.
Suddenly, Matt rushed in with a sheet of paper in his hand. He was pretty brown himself.
"Seattle." He said, slapping the paper down in front of me.
"What?"
"Seattle, Washington."
"What about it?" I asked, taking another bite.
"That's where we're going tomorrow night."
"What for?"
"To tape Raw."
My eyes lit up. "Seriously?"
Matt nodded. "Yup… I've been speaking to Vince for the past couple of weeks. We coulda gone back earlier, but they needed a way to bring us back into a storyline."
I jumped up and hugged him. I missed everyone so much. Jeff, Trish, Torrie… even Shane's dumb ass.
"Matt, this means a lot to me."
"I knew it would."
"I mean… do you know how long it's been since I've been in the ring? Since I've done a body slam or… or a Twist-Of-Fate?"
"Hey, that's my move." Matt squinted his eyes at me.
"But I do it better."
"Oh yeah? Show me."
That led to a series of gimmick-mimics between Matt and me. I was so glad that other wrestlers weren't allowed to steal signature moves from other wrestlers. Matt did one horrible People's Elbow.
Matt body slammed me and we lie laughing and out of breath on the bed. "You're the best." I said.
He grinned. "The best at what?"
"Everything… but especially at making me happy. I can't wait to see everybody." I grinned and thought about how everyone would react when they saw us.
"Anything to see that pretty smile." Matt kissed my forehead.
My smile faded.
"Uh… I said… 'Anything to see that pretty smile.' That's the part where you continue to smile."
"Matt…" I sat up and tucked a strand of hair back into my low-ponytail. "I'm kind of worried… about going back."
"Yeah me, too. I haven't trained properly in a while. But you'll be fine – just use the gym at the arena and –"
"No, Matt. I'm not worried about wrestling. It's… it's Jason."
Matt rolled his eyes. "Red, we haven't spoken about him since the first night we were here. Please, don't spoil it. Everything was going so good."
"I'm sorry."
Matt sat up and took both of my hands in his. "We're together now… right?"
It may sound stupid, but the whole time we were there, we acted like a couple… neither of us actually made it official.
"I… guess."
"I ain't lettin' you outta my site, girl."
I had to laugh at the accent. "You're so cute." I leaned over and kissed him. He bit my lip. "Oooh, aggressive."
"I haven't been in the ring for a while. I just had to make sure I still had it in me." He lie down and bit his own lip seductively.
"Wanna do it one more time in Mexico?" I asked, straddling him. I began to kiss his neck.
"Baby…"
"Hmm?"
"Don't say 'do it.'"
A/N: I KNOW, I KNOW! It's literally been like… three years… and I don't know what possessed me to add another chapter. I re-read this whole story and I just wanted to continue it. Maybe it'll bring back some old readers and hopefully some new ones. Please review – I need the encouragement!
