Mark reluctantly woke her up when they arrived at the arena. She slowly opened her eyes seeing his smiling handsome face.
"Thank you for being my pillow," she said softly wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"No problem," Mark said feeling a lonely feeling as she moved away from him. "I hope the nap helped."
"Definitely helped I feel full of energy now," Lisa said as Glen opened the door for her.
"Well your energy will not last long, you have a run through then work out then Smackdown," Glen ran down the list of the things to do making Lisa feel overwhelmed.
"Don't worry it sounds worse than it is," Mark reassured as they entered the arena.
"Hey Lisa," the deep booming voice echoed through the hall. They all turned seeing Paul Wight also known as the Big Show heading their way. Paul came up giving Lisa a big hug surprising Mark and Glen. "You did superb last night."
"Hi Paul, thank you. How are you doing?" Lisa asked as Mark tried to figure out how she knew Paul.
"No complaints. I'm in a rush right now but I'll catch up with you later ok?" Paul patted her shoulder as Lisa nodded yes.
"I'll see you around. Take care," Lisa waved goodbye to him returning her attention back to Mark and Glen.
"How do you know Paul?" Glen asked what Mark was thinking.
"He is one of my boyfriend's friends," Lisa nervously shifted under Mark's stare.
"Your boyfriend is a wrestler?" Mark stared into her eyes.
"Yes, he is…"
"Lisa, the boss wants to see you now," Trish tapped her on the shoulder stopping Lisa from saying who her boyfriend was. "You better hurry he is in a mood."
"I'm on my way," Lisa meet Mark's eyes. "I will meet you afterwards for our run through."
"I'll be in the work out room with Glen," Mark said trying to hide the frustration of not finding out who her boyfriend was. He watched Lisa walk away with Trish wishing she would have just finished her sentence.
"Don't worry I'll help you find out who he is?" Glen patted Mark's shoulder. "At least we have two things to go on. The guy is a wrestler and hangs out with Paul."
"Paul hangs out with about half the roster," Mark tried to think of all the guys Paul hung with figuring out which one would be Lisa's type. "I'll just ask her it's easier."
"Just in case you don't I'll ask around," Glen said planning to ask Paul before Smackdown started.
"Don't make a big deal out of this. I don't want her to get upset about us prying into her life," Mark warned Glen as they headed towards the workout room.
"One question before I even waste my time finding out about this girl. What did you feel the first time you saw her?" Glen asked stopping in the hall.
"Felt like time stood still when I looked into her beautiful blue eyes. My heart came back to life," Mark was finding it hard to put into words what he felt.
"Say no more. Come on let's go work out before she gets back from her meeting with Vince," Glen opened the working out room door. Mark sighed not able to get Lisa off his mind.
After Lisa came back from her meeting with Vince, they did a run through of Smackdown than had an early dinner. Lisa was in the locker room getting changed into red sequined shorts and tank top outfit for the show when her cell phone rang.
"Hey angel, got your message," her boyfriend's voice echoed in her ear. "I'm sorry to hear you have to do promotional work for your storyline over the next few days. I was looking forward to having you here with me at rehab."
"I'm sorry too hon," Lisa sat down on the bench.
"At least we will still be together for the weekend," he deeply sighed letting her hear his frustration.
"I'm going to try to be with you by Friday morning," Lisa said figuring out she could leave right after the autograph signing on Thursday night and catch a plane to see him.
"No pressure babe. I just wanted to call and wish you luck tonight. Call me tonight when you get done."
"Ok hon, are you going to be staying in tonight?" she cautiously asked not wanting to upset him.
"Nah, I'm going out with some of the boys but I'll have my cell on me," his tone became more serious. "Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, of course not," she quickly said.
"Good by the way Paul told me you have been hanging with Mark and Glen please don't make a habit of that. I know you have to work with Mark but after work hang out with the girls. Ok?" his tone was firm as she nervously started to pace. She didn't want to stop hanging out with them but she wasn't in the mood to argue with him.
"Ok, I'll call you later," Lisa wanted to get off the phone.
"Ok babe. I love you."
"I love you too," Lisa said feeling odd when she said it. She hung up the phone staring into space for a few minutes trying to figure out what to do. She didn't want to stop hanging out with Mark and Glen but if she kept doing it her boyfriend would go off the deep end. For now I'm not changing anything, she thought, I will just deal with the consequences when he comes back to work. She shook her head forgetting about her problems ready to have some fun on Smackdown.
