Chapter 8: Hall of Fame and Wrestlemania

John and Kimberly were in their hotel suite dressing when there was a knock at the door. John opened it to find some guys from the Raw roster. "Hey guys, what's up?" Randy Orton, Dave Batista, Shelton Benjamin, Adam Copeland, Jay Reso and Chris Irvine stood at the door.

Randy spoke first. "We came to meet her. Let us in."

John smiled and let everyone in. "She'll be out in a minute. I guess word travels fast."

"Torrie talked to Stacy and said you were bringing her to Wrestlemania. You know once you tell Stacy something word will travel fast." Randy said as they all piled in the room. John went to the bedroom to tell Kimberly they had company.

They both returned to the sitting room and the room fell silent. They all just stared at her. Kimberly, used to this happening, walked up to Dave first. "Hello, it's nice to meet you." She extended her hand and Dave took it.

"It's nice to finally meet you too." Dave said. Kimberly shook hands with the rest of the group and excused herself so the guys could talk. "Damn, John, she's just a little thing. How tall is she?"

"She's about 5'1 and 105 pounds. But watch out, she's a badass." John said proudly. There was another knock on the door. John got up thinking it would be more guys coming to ogle his girl. He opened the door to find Torrie and Billy and Mark and Sara. Kimberly rejoined the group and after a few beers and glasses of wine they all left to go to the ceremony, but agreed to dinner afterwards.

John looked at Kimberly and she said, "Just give me the final count and we'll have reservations instantly."

The Hall of Fame Ceremony was a huge success and everyone had a great time. Kimberly met the McMahon family along with Stephanie's husband and wrestler, Paul. John learned a little more about Kimberly when she spotted Hulk Hogan's wife, Linda. In typical female fashion, Kimberly and Linda squealed and gave each other big hugs. "Linda, it's so great to see you. I was hoping to find you tonight."

"I haven't seen you in awhile, where have you been?" Linda said, still holding Kimberly's hands. Brooke and Nick walked over with Hulk and Kimberly got the same greeting from Brooke and hugs from Nick and Hulk. Linda continued, "I want to know what you've been doing since we've seen you. Wait, what are you doing here?"

"I came with someone." Kimberly said with a sly grin. John walked up and Linda knew instantly what was going on. Kimberly introduced John to the Hogans and invited them to dinner. A big crowd soon gathered around them and they all headed out to the restaurant.

Upon arrival, the Maitre' D, Jacques, started to panic at the immense group piling into the lobby. When he saw Kimberly in the back waving to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and escorted them to a private dining area. Most of the patrons stopped at the sight of this procession of wrestlers walking through, it was like a cartoon of superheroes dressed in formal wear stopping for a bite to eat before a night of fighting crime. When they got to the private dining area, Kimberly said something to Jacques and sat next to John and Linda. Torrie and Billy and Mark and Sara were seated with them. Jacques had called in every member of the wait staff to help with tonight, saving the best people to service Kimberly's group. As she looked around it seemed as if every wrestler and his or her date was here. She guessed the only people not here were the McMahons and upper management. Kimberly got up several times to speak with Jacques and a few waiters and waitresses in private. On one occasion, John got the chance to speak to Linda.

"So how do you know Kimberly?" John asked.

"She's been our neighbor in Florida for about four years. She lives two houses down. Isn't she fabulous? She's so generous; I'm amazed she has time for herself. I'm glad she has you, John. Maybe you can get her to slow down a little." Linda winked at him.

"I'll do my best, Linda, but I've noticed she's pretty set in her ways." John said trying not to sound sad.

"John, you'd be surprised what she'd do for you if you just ask her. She'll kill me for saying this so don't repeat it, especially to her. She'd give everything up right now for love. She doesn't care if she has 50 cents or 50 million, she's happy anywhere as long as there's love. And by love I mean you. BUT, if you do anything, anything to her there will be hell to pay." Linda touched John's cheek and went back to her salad leaving John to ponder what she said. How much more is there that I don't know? Word got around to John, a lot, all night telling him what he already new, Kimberly was fabulous; mysterious but fabulous.

The following morning John got up earlier than usual. He paced around the hotel suite as if deep in thought. Kimberly woke up and watched John go in and out of the bedroom. "What's wrong, John?" She asked as she got up and hugged him.

"I've just got a lot on my mind. Are you coming with me to the arena or are you coming separately?" Kimberly looked at John as if he grew another head.

"Do you not want me to go with you? I was planning on riding together, but if you'd rather do something different that's ok too." Kimberly kept watching John and his expression, letting go of him as he subtly pushed her away.

"Uh, no that's fine, we can ride together." John walked away from her and left the suite. Kimberly stood there with tears in her eyes wondering what she had done. She changed and went to the hotel gym and pushed through her workout harder than she had in a long time. A few of the people she met last night showed up and greeted her, moving on to their own routines. Dave noticed something was wrong and walked over to her. He started his routine next to her and they worked out together for awhile in silence. He watched her and noticed several times she had tears in her eyes.

"If you have something you want to say, I'll listen." Dave said softly, not breaking pace, just leaving that out there for her to accept.

"Thanks, but I'm fine." Kimberly could barely speak without her voice cracking.

"I'm sure you are, just throwing that out there." Dave kept doing his reps again and watched her just in case. Tears began to fall and she excused herself. She went to the elevator and lost in a daze, pushed the wrong floor. When the doors opened she got out wiping her eyes, still not noticing she was on the wrong floor. She looked up when she heard John's voice talking to a female. John had his back to her and his hands were on his hips. He was looking down and that was all Kimberly could see. She stood there frozen not sure what was happening in front of her. She listened to the female trying to entice John to a pre-show party for two in her room.

"Come on, John, you know you want too. You've wanted to for a long time. Nobody else will know, just us." The female wrapped her arms around John's waist and pressed her body to his.

"Get off of me. I'm on my way to see Randy." John tried to go around her but she wouldn't let go. Kimberly moved to her left trying to see who this woman was. The female grabbed John's face and pulled her to him. She kissed John and held tight. He stumbled forward from the force of the grip on him. From Kimberly's viewpoint the kiss may have been uninvited but John didn't seem to be fighting it. The female wrapped her arms around John's neck to get a better hold on him. She stood there staring at the sight not sure to believe what she was seeing. Kimberly backed up and spun around trying to flee. She ran right into the elevator doors. She began frantically pressing the button and started to cry. John heard someone behind him and turned to see who was there. "Kimberly!" Realizing what she must have seen he panicked. The elevator doors opened and Kimberly darted inside. She turned to see John coming towards her and the female smirking at her. "Oh shit, baby girl, no, no. Wait." The doors closed and John stood there with his head and hands on the doors. Some of the wrestlers heard John yelling and came out to see what was happening. They saw John at the elevator and a brunette smiling in triumph.
