Chapter 39 : Ready

The rest of the week, me and Chris were inseparable. We went everywhere together and barely noticed the people around us we were so captivated by each other. It was the next Monday and even though Chris wasn't wrestling again, he accompanied me and kept me company throughout the night.

It was 9 o'clock and the show just started but I had been down to work for an hour, making loads of progress. I guess Chris got bored because one minute I'm studying a document and the next I'm being set on the desk and openly groped.

"Chris." I warned trying to get him to stop so I could get back to work. But he didn't stop, in fact, he took it a step further by kissing and sucking on my neck. I moaned against my will and held his head in place.

"I really need to get back to work." I said softly not really paying attention to what I was saying or thinking. Chris lifted his head and just when I was about to slip off the desk, he climbed on. I lied down not knowing what else to do. He lied on his side, smoothing my hair and getting it out of my face before he continued his assault on my neck. My eyes rolled in the back of my head as I decided that I didn't care because this was attention that I was loving.

After about five minutes of that same treatment to my neck, shoulders, lips and stomach, Chris suddenly got up and straightened his clothes.

"Your right Kendall, you need to get back to work." He said making his way back to the chair he was earlier sitting in. I followed him all the way with my eyes, pleading for him to come back.

"No, no." I said and pouted.

"Kendall, this isn't what you want." He said gesturing to the office and I thought about it realizing he was right. I sighed before sitting up and straightened my own clothes which consisted of a pair of black trousers and pink cami with white lace. I took my seat again and got back to business.

An hour later, Chris went to go catch up with some people. I barely muttered a goodbye because I was so focused on finishing my work. Not even five minutes after Chris left someone knocked on the door. I didn't hear it and kept my attention at the task at hand. They knocked louder and I still didn't hear, so they just opened the door and popped in. Not until they set their feet on my desk, did I notice someone. I looked up and saw who it was before pushing their feet off the desk.

"Now listen Paul. I don't mind if you come to visit me but keep your nasty feet off my desk." I said before setting down the pen I was using, finally finished.

"Where have you been lately? Haven't seen much if any of you." He said crossing his arms over his chest, his face emotionless.

I shrugged. "I've been pretty busy."

"Is that so?" He asked coldly which cause me to tilt my head in confusion. "I was talking to Shane earlier and he said that you missed your meeting last night. He said because you are usually such a good worker he allowed you some leeway and rescheduled it to this morning. But, you missed that one too. So are you busy with work? Or with Chris?"

I stared him wondering what his problem was. "Why do you care? It's none of your business."

He raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to the desk. "I care because you are a very good friend and obviously this relationship is effecting your job. And it is my business because even though your job in the company is minimal, any meeting missed could effect one aspect of the company which leads to something going wrong. I have been a part of this company since I was in my 20's and I expect to always be apart of it. Also, the fact that your working for Shane, a head honcho and important person to the WWE, you need to be present for everything he asks." He said making me feel a little bad, but if Shane had a problem with it, he would approach me.

"I appreciate your concern and your devotion to the company. But, I don't really know if I care." I lied just wanting to be left alone to analyze what had just been presented to me.

Paul leaned back and studied me with his eyes squinted quite possibly unbelieving to the way I was acting towards him. "All I'm saying, is you need to prioritize yourself and think about what is more important to you. Your boyfriend or your career." He said genuinely with care before walking out the door.

I sighed and leaned back in my chair thinking everything over. My thoughts however were interrupted when there was a knock at my door. There was nothing I would rather do more than tell the person to go away but I realized that I had already been slacking in my work and I told the person to come in. I looked up and saw that it was Carlito. I smiled despite my earlier conversation with Paul. Just seeing a friendly face that wanted to come talk to me made me happy.

"Hello Carlos. What brings you here?" I asked not able to wipe the smile off my face.

"Well Ms. Hunter, I was informed that you were all by yourself and I thought, hey. Any women alone is probably fantasizing about yours truly, why not make her dreams come true." He said as I smiled and rolled my eyes not out of annoyance but out of familiarity and humor.

Carlito and myself hadn't really hung out since me and Chris got back together. Actually, I really hadn't hung out with anyone but Chris. That is probably the reason for my sudden confusion and self evaluation. While me and Chris were broken up I spent my time with three people: Paul, Carlito and Randy. And, after we reunited, I had really taken them for granted and basically ignored them.

"Hello! Earth to Kendall! Anyone in there?" Carlito said waving his hand in front of my face, breaking my trance. "Are you alright?" He asked concerned now.

I smiled and nodded. "I'm good." I said softly. He tilted his head and still looked concerned. He walked on the other side of my desk and stood next to me before kneeling and rubbing my back.

"Are you sure?" He asked. That was all I could take before his kindness and friendliness got the best of me. I collapsed into his arms in a heap of tears and sobs.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled through tears. "I'm so, so sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" He asked sympathetically.

"I'm so, so sorry." I mumbled once again crying harder and gripping his shoulders tighter.

"Hey now. Good-looking, what's wrong?" He asked carefully grabbing both sides of my head with his hands and looking me in the eye. I shook my head while still sobbing.

"I'm so sorry." I said once again. "I'm sorry for ignoring you. You were there when I really needed you and once I had someone else I stopped talking to you." I was still crying, although it was softer as Carlito smiled.

"Hey. No worries. It's ok. No need to cry. I understand." He said but I once again shook my head.

"No it isn't ok. I took you for granted." I said wiping at my tears now that they had stilled.

He slapped my hands away gently and replaced them with his own. "It is ok. Don't worry. How about we all get together tomorrow for lunch. You, me, and Chris. How does that sound?" He asked pushing my hair behind my ears. I sighed and fidgeted with my fingers.

"That sounds great. Do you think we can invite Paul and Randy?" I asked hesitantly. He nodded with a big smile.

"Whoever your heart desires. I'll go tell them ok?" He said standing slowly.

I nodded and watched him walk all the way to the door. "Carlito?" I called out to him as his hand fisted the door knob. He turned back to me. "Can you, maybe, find Chris and tell him I went back to the hotel?" I asked almost shyly. He nodded.

"Yeah." He said before making his exit. I gathered all my stuff and made a phone call for a cab as I left the building. The cab arrived rather fast and I slid in, politely saying good evening and my hotel name and asked for him to take the long way. He agreed and the car started moving street, after street. I kept my eyes looking out the window at the buildings passing by. After the long drive back, I paid the man and made my way up to my room. When I got there I immediately ran a bubble bath, to drown out my thoughts. Right as I was about to pull the plug to empty the tub, I looked up and saw Chris leaning on the door frame with a mix of concern and wonder shining from his features.

I stood from the tub and got out, still wet and dripping and walked right up to Chris.

"I'm ready." I said softly. He looked confused at first until he understood what I was saying. He opened his mouth to say something but I lifted a finger to his lips to shut him up and shook me head. "I'm positive." I said looking straight into his eyes and tried to get him to understand all the love and devotion I had towards him, through the stare.

Apparently that was all he need before he placed a soft, loving, yet eager kiss on my lips and picked me as I wrapped my legs around his waist and carried me to the bed.
