Ch 15
The camera cut to the Undertaker zooming into the arena on his motorcycle. Terri waited patiently for him.
"Undertaker, I was just wondering are you worried about your tag team title match tonight against Chris Jericho and Trish Stratus since your partner seems to be full of surprises. Edge came to her aid tonight and last week it was the Big Show," Terri nervously held the microphone up to him as he stared at her.
"I never worry about anything," Taker glared at her.
"You might like to know Lisa's boyfriend is supposed to make an appearance tonight. It might even be Edge since he came to her rescue like Big Show said would happen," Terri said as Taker looked surprised for a minute.
"I could care less who he is even if it is Edge. As long as he stays out of my business I really don't give a damn," Taker sneered.
"Well Lisa kind is your business now since she is your partner," Terri responded making Taker laugh.
"You know you're right she is my business," Taker smirked walking away leaving Terri with a bewildered look.
Mark finished his segment deciding it was best to go back to his locker room instead of checking on Lisa. She has her boyfriend now she doesn't need me, Mark thought as he banged his door open. His heart stopped when he saw Lisa there pulling her long blonde hair up into a ponytail.
"Are you ok?" she asked as he stared at her with wide eyes. He didn't say a word walking towards her embracing her tightly. Lisa was surprised at how tightly he held her.
"Don't worry about me, how are you?" Mark whispered in her ear.
"I'm ok. I'm going to have nasty bruises on my back," Lisa rested her hands on his chest smiling at him. "I love watching your segments. You always seem so mean."
"I am very mean and don't you forget it," Mark glared at her making her laugh. She ran her fingers along his waist and stomach making him laugh.
"Yeah you definitely look very mean right now," Lisa said as he smiled widely at her.
"I know you're trying to be tough but you don't have to be around me," Mark felt her relax in his arms. "I was serious about what I said this weekend I will wait for you. We can always find time to steal a few moments like this."
"Mark, I want to tell you who …" she was cut off by the pounding on the door letting them know they were needed for their match.
"Be strong out there," Mark kissed her cheek. Lisa felt her stomach tighten up the minute they stepped out the door. She knew Mark couldn't protect her from her boyfriend and his wrath tonight. She silently feared the moment in the locker room was the last moment they would share together for a long time.
When Mark opened the door, Vince was standing there waiting with a smile.
"Lisa, I need to speak with you for a minute," Vince lightly grabbed her arm leading her away from Mark. Mark huffed watching Vince talking to Lisa as she frowned shaking her head.
"I don't care if you like the storyline you will go along with it or I will suspend you," Vince leaned close whispering near her ear. "I will also suspend Mark for your actions. Don't say a word just go out there and do your job no matter what your personal feelings may be. You are here to entertain those fans and give them what they want. I truly believe the fans will love the way this storyline goes."
"Fine Vince, whatever you say," Lisa pulled her arm away.
"Good girl," Vince smiled before looking at Mark. "Good luck out there guys."
"What was that about?" Mark stared into her blue eyes.
"Mark, I can't explain now. Listen whatever happens out there tonight please try to understand I have no choice," Lisa swallowed hard seeing all the questions in his eyes.
"What the hell is going on?" Mark gently grabbed her chin as a member of the crew yelled for them to get ready to go on.
"We have to get out there I'm sorry," Lisa pushed his hand away fighting back the emotions coursing through her body. Damn it you're hurting him, Lisa cursed herself as Mark deeply sighed giving her a frustrated look before getting on the motorcycle. She climbed on behind him wrapping her arms around him resting her head against his back for a minute.
The arena went crazy as the Undertaker's entrance music started. He appeared on his motorcycle with Lisa on the back. Undertaker roared down the ramp circling the ring. He helped Lisa off the cycle holding her hand for a minute as she stared at him.
"What is that all about?" Jim Ross said watching as Taker held the ropes for Lisa to get in.
"Maybe she is softening Taker. I know I would be putty in her hands," the King laughed. The arena went crazy as Edge's music came on. Edge appeared on the ramp looking down.
"What is he doing out here?" Taker looked at Lisa for answers wishing she would just say that was her boyfriend. Edge stopped on the top of the ramp peering down as the Big Show's music started.
"What in the hell do you two want?" Undertaker pointed yelling at them as the two massive men walked along side the ring.
"Just consider us protection for that lovely lady by your side," Edge yelled back as the Big Show nodded in agreement. Undertaker looked at Lisa as she shrugged her shoulders. Undertaker glared at Edge and Big Show as NWO's music started. Undertaker turned his attention to the ramp as Kevin Nash, X-Pac, and Scott Hall appeared.
"Undertaker don't get all worked up. We are only out here to announce the newest member of the NWO Chris Jericho," Kevin Nash said as Jericho's entrance music started. Chris Jericho came out dressed in NWO colors with Trish Stratus on his arm. He pointed at Undertaker motioning the belts were going to be around his and Trish's waist. Nash, X-Pac, and Hall came down behind them moving to the opposite side of the ring of Edge and Big Show. Lisa stared down Trish as she entered the ring.
"You'll get a piece of her later," Taker grabbed Lisa's arm motioning for her to leave the ring. Lisa listened to Undertaker exiting the ring waiting in their corner while he took on Jericho. Jericho was trash mouthing Undertaker till Taker hit him hard knocking him to the mat. Taker continued to manhandle Jericho tossing around the ring like a doll. Trish came into the ring to help only to be cut off by Lisa. Lisa flung Trish into the corner setting her up for the Undertaker to slam into her. Taker splashed into Trish sinking her to the mat.
"Show him what you got baby girl," Taker yelled as Jericho started to move again. She climbed to the top turnbuckle.
"Hey there pretty little girl, didn't your mamma ever tell you high places are dangerous," Nash called up to her.
"Go to hell Nash," Lisa said to him as Edge started coming around the corner. Nash started climbing up on the apron making Edge rush grabbing him from behind.
"All hell is about to break loose," Jim excitedly yelled as X-Pac rolled into the ring to attack Undertaker. Lisa flew off the ropes grabbing X-Pac around the neck with her legs dropping him to the mat. Nash leveled Edge with the ring stairs as Big Show battled with Hall outside the ring. In all the commotion, Undertaker covered Jericho for the win. X-Pac recovered hitting Taker from behind giving Nash time to roll into the ring. Trish slowly stood up surveying the chaos going on when Lisa came near her she rolled out of the ring running towards the back. Hall dropped the Big Show with a chair. Lisa looked around at the Undertaker, Edge, and Big Show all lying helpless. Hall and X-Pac kept pounding on Undertaker as Nash and Jericho backed Lisa into a corner.
"Now what are you going to do tough girl? Who is going to come to your rescue now? Your boyfriend Edge is out cold" Nash tormented her coming very close to her pointing to Edge.
"You idiot Edge isn't my boyfriend. You have just been played for a fool by the Game," Lisa said as the arena dimmed and Triple H's music surged through the air as the fans went wild. Hunter appeared with his sledgehammer slowly making his way down the ramp as Nash stared him down. X-Pac cleared the ring as Hunter entered holding the sledgehammer tight.
"Get away from her now," Hunter warned Nash. Nash put his hands up backing away from Lisa. Nash rolled out of his ring joining the rest of the NWO on the floor. Hunter put the sledgehammer down staring at Lisa. The camera closed up on him as his angry expression softened to a big smile. He slowly went towards her resting his hands on the ropes beside her.
"My little troublemaker," Hunter said to her as Undertaker raised his head looking around just in time to see Hunter kiss her. Lisa wrapped her arms around Hunter's neck as he picked her up kissing her deeper.
"Triple H is Lisa's boyfriend," Jim Ross watched the couple as Big Show and Edge climbed back into the ring. "The Undertaker looks shocked at this turn of events."
"Can you blame him?" The King replied.
Undertaker got up staring at Lisa in disbelief as Hunter held her close. Lisa wouldn't look at Taker only at the mat. Hunter motioned for a microphone keeping his arm tightly around Lisa's waist. Big Show, Edge, and Hunter stared at the Undertaker as his eyes stayed locked on Lisa.
"You look shocked Taker never expected me to be her boyfriend. I know you thought it was Edge or maybe you were hoping it was just a rumor and she was single. Well to make this perfectly clear once and for all in front of everyone Lisa is my girlfriend. She is the love of my life and she will be staying with me where she belongs," Hunter held Lisa very close. "You want to keep the lovely Lisa as your tag team partner you join Edge, the Big Show, and myself to destroy the NWO. You don't join us you will be losing the tag team belts you hold with her on the next Raw. Don't say a word now. We will give you till Smackdown to decide."
"You sons of bitches," Taker growled staring at the men in the ring.
"Hope you make the right choice unless you don't want this lovely woman by your side. I'll be more than happy to take the burden away from you," Hunter said holding the ropes for Lisa as she climbed out waiting for him to exit the ring.
"I can not believe what has just happened here. Triple H has formed his own alliance to destroy the NWO and that young woman is his girlfriend. The Dead man's partner is The Game's girlfriend," Jim Ross exclaimed.
"The big question is what will Taker do. Will he join them or give Lisa up?" The King said as the camera stayed focused on the Undertaker looking on still in shock as Hunter held Lisa's hand all the way up the ramp then kissed her passionately again at the top as the cameras faded out.
Lisa's heart was breaking as Paul smiled wickedly at what had just happened. He held her hand tightly as she tried to stop.
"I want to wait and talk to Mark," Lisa said making Paul stop. His brown eyes filled with disappointment as he shook his head.
"No you're not talking to him. We are leaving now," Paul picked her up as she protested.
"Paul, please this isn't fair let me talk to him," Lisa pleaded as Paul threw her in the limo.
"You had your fun with him its over. You are leaving with me now or your sister loses her hotel understood?" Paul glared at her.
"Fine," Lisa broke down in tears.
"I hate it when you cry," Paul sat next to her putting his arm around her. "This time it's your own damn fault. What could you have possibly been thinking leaving me for an old man like Mark? In ten years you would be pushing him around in a wheelchair. He would never be able to satisfy you."
"Go to hell Paul," Lisa stared at him making him laugh.
"Well if I'm going to hell you're going with me," Paul leaned close whispering in her ear. "If you think of leaving me again, I will make sure Mark's career comes to an end."
"What exactly do you have on Vince that makes him do your every whim," Lisa searched his eyes as he laughed.
"That is for me to know and for you to never know," Paul pulled his blonde hair into a ponytail smiling at her. "I missed you sweetheart. I don't like you being mad at me. I'm just trying to save you from making a big mistake."
"No, I already made a huge mistake that minute I started dating you," Lisa said coldly turning away from him.
"Really was it a mistake? I fell in the love the first time I laid eyes on you in that nightclub in Philadelphia. You are the first woman that ever made me weak in my knees as I watched you leaning on the rail looking out over the Delaware River with a sad lonely look. When I finally worked up the guts to come over to you, the smell of your sweet perfume captured my heart even more," Paul ran his fingers along her bare shoulder kissing it softly. "Then you looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes of yours and I saw my future. That was one of the best nights in my life dancing with you under the stars out on the deck. Do you remember that night?"
"Of course I do," Lisa refused to look at him.
"There are times I wonder what happened to us for the first year of our relationship we had no problems. Now this year I'm the only one happy with this relationship."
"What happened? You're kidding me right," Lisa turned staring into his eyes as he gave her an innocent look. "The first year of relationship was perfect because you trusted me you weren't this jealous possessive monster you are now."
"You made me this way," Paul glared at her.
"No I didn't. You got ideas into your head and let them change you. I never cheated on you even when we were broken up. I never was with another man," Lisa stared directly into his eyes.
"Then why do you keep trying to leave me?"
"Because you changed the sweet loving man I met at that nightclub is dead and I have tried to bring him back many times but he is gone," Lisa deeply sighed as her thoughts went to Mark. I need to talk to him, she thought as Paul told the driver to take them to the hotel.
"We can fix our relationship," Paul lightly kissed her neck. "I have a surprise for you that I'm sure you will love."
"You're going away for a long vacation for years," she said making him laugh very hard.
"You are so cute when you're mad," Paul caressed her arms pulling her close. "I think I will give you my surprise at the hotel maybe you'll be in a better mood there. By the way did you like my surprise of having Adam put into the storyline? I thought it was fitting to have him involved, don't you?"
"No I don't. I don't want to talk anymore my head and back are killing me," she said trying to change the subject she didn't want to talk about Adam.
"My poor angel," Paul ran his hands gently along her back. "I'll take care of you don't worry."
I am worried about Mark, Lisa thought looking out the window ignoring Paul wondering if Mark was alright.
