CH 11

Glen and Christina had a wonderful evening. Glen had taken her dancing after dinner something she hadn't done in over two years. They were having such a good time together they lost track of time not going back to the hotel till almost 1 am.

"Lisa is going to kill me," Christina broadly smiled at Glen as she fumbled with the key to the suite.

"Don't worry I'll save you," Glen rested his hand on her back sending warm sensations through her body.

"I hope they made out alright with Kelly," Christina said opening the door happy to hear no crying just the low sound of a radio playing.

"It sure looks like they made out fine. Mark bored them both to sleep," Glen laughed motioning to the living room floor where Mark was asleep with his one arm around Lisa and his other arm holding Kelly on his chest.

"That is so cute. I hate to wake them," Christina leaned on the sofa seeing the smile on Lisa's face.

"Then don't unless you're worried about Kelly getting hurt," Glen said grabbing a blanket off the sofa.

"I think she will be fine," Christina smiled helping Glen cover all of them with a blanket.

"Two nights in a row," Glen said under his breathe.

"What are you talking about?" Christina asked him.

"Last night he spent the night with your sister, now tonight," Glen shook his head. "It's good but on the other hand its trouble."

"You mean because she is dating someone else," Christina swallowed hard feeling her skin crawl just at the thought of Lisa's boyfriend. Christina motioned for Glen to follow her to her bedroom. "Sorry it's easier to talk in here."

"I have my concerns about what will happen when Mark meets her boyfriend. It sounds inevitable since the guy works for the WWE too," Glen said making Christina stare at him with concern.

"I'm a bad person for saying this but I think them meeting will be a good thing. Hopefully it will be exactly what my sister needs to end that doomed relationship once and for all," Christina's body tensed with anger.

"I guess you don't like this guy either," Glen rested his hands on her slender shoulders feeling the tension.

"Let's not even talk about him. All I know is my sister needs to get away from him before he destroys her like…" Christina stopped herself choking back the words.

"Please finish."

"It's not important. I had a very nice evening with you. Thank you for everything," Christina kissed his cheek.

"I would like to see you again tomorrow. Lisa and Mark will be busy with autograph signings for most of the day. I thought maybe we could take Kelly out for some sightseeing," Glen nervously smiled hoping she would agree.

"I would love to," Christina opened her door leading out. "I will see you in the morning."

"Perfect. Good night," Glen leaned down kissing her cheek softly sending butterflies through her stomach.

"Good night Glen," she opened the door letting him out. Christina couldn't stop smiling as she headed back to her room checking one last time on Kelly. Christina was about to go to her room when she stood staring at her little sister for a few minutes. All she wanted was for Lisa to be happy and she was willing to do almost anything to give her sister that happiness except let her sister in on her secret.


The next day went quickly as Mark and Lisa did three autograph signings while Glen and Christina took Kelly to Central Park for the day. When they all meet up for dinner, Glen could see sadness in Mark's eyes.

"You ok?" Glen asked while Lisa and Christina were away from the table.

"Lisa is leaving with her sister tonight. I really don't want her to leave," Mark sighed rubbing his face.

"So tell her that. Christina invited me to go along with them. Why don't you come with us? I already booked a suite in Ocean City and there is plenty of room there for the both of us," Glen kept talking watching Mark shake his head.

"What if that upsets Lisa?" Mark asked feeling a hand rest on his shoulder.

"What do you plan to do to upset me?" Lisa looked down at him with a smile on her face thinking it was almost impossible for him to upset her.

"I invited him to come with us back to Jersey and he thinks that will upset you," Glen volunteered the information. Lisa thought for a minute remembering her boyfriend saying he might stop by but she doubted he would.

"That doesn't upset me. I enjoy having you around," Lisa smiled at Mark.

"Then its settled Mark is coming," Glen threw his hands up.

"I have a better idea," Lisa's mind was going a mile a minute to ensure that if her boyfriend did show up he wouldn't find them. "Why don't we all stay at my beach cottage?"

"Are you sure the renovations are done?" Christina asked remembering the beating the cottage took during the summer storms last year.

"Yes they were done about a month ago. I just haven't had time to check it out. There is plenty of room," Lisa said watching her sister smile wide.

"I'm sold. I'll go cancel my reservation. Mark, do you mind coming with me and making the arrangements to rent a car. There is no way I'm taking the train when we can drive there," Glen said as Mark nodded in agreement.

"What is the real reason for deciding to stay there?" Christina asked Lisa when the men disappeared from sight.

"Because I don't want to be easy to find," Lisa said making Christina remember the phone call last night and the chance that Lisa's boyfriend would show up.

"Well you know he was show up at moms or my place. We will just tell mom to call you right away and I can have my assistant page me if he shows up," Christina said realizing that Lisa was smart in never telling her boyfriend about her house in Cape May Point. Lisa always considered that house her secret hideaway to relax and be alone.

"I'm being so bad. This is wrong, this is cheating," Lisa mumbled making Christina laugh.

"It's not really cheating you and Mark are just friends," Christina stared into her sister's eyes. "Lisa, use this time to decide what you want. Mark is a great guy and I don't think you should let him go. You know your current relationship is doomed. You guys go through a break up every few months and he treats you like shit."

"I know you're right," Lisa sighed feeling dread fill her soul. "I need this weekend to think about things. I'll be right back I'm going to call mom."

"Ok," Christina watched her sister leave. She felt her stomach tightening up knowing she was keeping things from Lisa that would definitely make her walk away from her boyfriend forever.
