Disclaimer: I do not own WWE seriously people if I did the things I would do and the members I'd have join Mr. McMahon's 'Kiss My Ass Club'. All that I own is Anastacia (pronounced- Ah-na-staa-see-ah) and her family, the other employees, and the other people and places that I made up. Any likeness to real places or people is some scary ass coincidence.

Chapter 8:
Windows to the Soul
Anastacia couldn't help but be cheerful as she walked around just looking at shops with Lashley and Rey. It was one day before the next Smackdown! taping.
Currently she gawking at the puppies in a pet shop window.
The 2 turned as they heard Lashley's cell phone ring.
"Yeah." He spoke into the phone.
"Are they alone?" Chavo's voice asked.
"Not yet." He told him. Bobby was also in on the plan.
"Tell them you just got a call from Vince and he needs you in a meeting." Chavo told him to lie.
Bobby hung up the phone and looked at the two who had questioning looks on their faces.
"Well that was Vince he said he needs me for something so I'm gonna head over see you two later." He turned around in the direction of the hotel.
"Bye." Both shouted in unison.
"Awww." Anastacia couldn't help but smile at the sight of two puppies playing around.
"Do you want to go inside?" Rey asked knowing the answer all ready.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yeah let's go in." Rey opened the entrance door for her and walked in after the woman.
"His name is Izzy." Anastacia told him as she scratched on of the puppies under its chin causing him to wag his tail. The puppy stood up on his hind legs to lick the Cuban's face which only caused her the laugh.
The two soon walked out because the store was closing.
"You like animals don't you?" Rey asked her.
"Yeah I love them all I once had a snake when I was 17 but when she found out she made me give her up so I gave her to Jeff." Rey was surprised at her answer not all women were fond of snakes. Some men no matter how tough liked snakes.
"Well Señorita where do you want to go next?" he asked her.
She laughed at her idea. "I still owe you chico so I'm treating you to some dinner." He was surprised.
"And you better not protest because this is something I got to do." She looked at him knowing he would protest. He gave a sigh of defeat and followed.
"So where are we going?" she asked.
-+-
"Thank you." Both thanked the waitress who brought them their food.
"Not bad." Anastacia commented as she cut into her chicken cutlet.
"So," Rey decided to make conversation, "how did you get into wrestling anyway Ana?" he asked. After a few days he had grown accustomed to calling her by a nickname.
She downed her cutlet with some water. "When my mother was still permitted to work she sent me to Mexico to help my father get money, he was a luchador, and I worked in a clothing store with some other women. Well, each night I'd watch mi papi's matches; my brother was in jail during the two years so I didn't see him too much, well anyway bottom line my father taught me some techniques and began my wrestling career. Later on Matt and Jeff, along with Chris, created OMEGA," he became interested and she paused to take another sip of lemonade, "when it closed down I didn't wrestle for a long time because I had to take care of mi tía (my aunt) and when I had time I attended a beauty school where I got my license to be a hairstylist but soon she passed away and since I was the only one permitted to work I had to help my brother get out of Mexico and I'm still doing that."
Rey looked at the woman. "You sacrificed so much."
Anastacia looked up at him shocked at his comment. "I do what I can that's why I'll do anything to keep my job so my brother can finally come and live with me in Charlton, my dad was a failure in his search for money so since he's no longer around I have to support my family." She told him.
"I'm sorry." Rey said thinking that the woman's father had died.
"About what, my father, oh I made him sound dead didn't I?" she laughed, "No he's not dead he's just in prison under selling drugs getting out in 7 more years, not like it was the first time I tried something that stupid."
The way she said it shocked Rey although the woman did seem sad that's not the thing that bothered him. The problem was the way she said it so…easily.
The two continued eating.
"So how long had you been a hairstylist?" He asked while she paid the bill. It pained him to have her pay for his meal but she would hear none of it.
"I once worked for a company in Charlton one day Stephanie McMahon came in hearing about me from Matt. I did her hair and she asked me if I wanted the job and I've been working ever since with a little make up on the side." Anastacia stood up signaling it was time to leave but before they could two women came over.
"I told you Rey Mysterio was here!" a fully endowed woman said to another blonde woman.
Anastacia stepped back while the two women swarmed the masked wrestler.
"Oh please take a picture of us." The blonde asked Anastacia handing her a camera.
Anastacia happily snapped a couple of photographs and watched the two women squeal about 'he's so handsome' and 'he's soooo sexy'.
"Come on." Anastacia helped Rey up where he was currently stuck in a booth the women pushed him in.

When Anastacia saw Rey blushing she couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Aww Rey Rey you look so cute when you blush." Anastacia couldn't help but laugh more as he turned his head so she couldn't see.
"Well you're pretty cute yourself when you laugh." He said. Subconsciously he said it out loud.
"You really think so?" Anastacia became silent and felt a blush kiss her cheeks.
Rey at the smaller woman about 3 inches shorter than him.
'It's time.' He told himself and took a deep breath.
"Yes you are I mean I always thought you were beauti-." He tried to say but had his own cellular phone disrupt him.
He took it out of his pocket and flipped it open.
"Hello." He spoke a little ticked off that he was disrupted.
"Hey Rey its Matt I was just wondering where Anastacia was she left her phone here?" the Hardy asked.
"She's with me but we were going to go to the hotel so we'll see you soon, bye." Rey said before placing his phone back in his pocket.
The two kept quite walking side by side before Anastacia spoke up. "I'm feeling my sweet tooth coming on so you want to grab some ice cream?" she asked staring up at him.
He was glad that she couldn't see the look of disappointment on his face. The perfect time had come and a phone call had ruined it. Rey then smiled at her. "Sure I can use some ice cream right now."
"One vanilla and one chocolate cookie dough please." Anastacia ordered in an outside booth.
The ice cream man gave her two ice cream cones and she paid for both.
"Now I feel like a kid." Anastacia laughed as she sat on a park bench with Rey.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah it's been so long since I just sat down with someone and had some ice cream it kinda reminds me of the night I got my first kiss." Anastacia went into dream land before she realized that Rey was talking.
"It wasn't anything special just a simple spin-the-bottle thing." He finished.
"Really?" she asked. "I remember sitting down in the grass after running around for a couple of minutes and we fell looked up at the stars and he kissed me I feel kind of stupid because I don't even remember his name I just remember that I had a crush on him." The woman blushed.
"That sounds special." Rey commented. Then the man chuckled noticing Anastacia had some ice cream on her nose.
"You've got some ice cream on your nose." He told her. The woman tried wiping it off but didn't manage to after some tries.
"Let me get it." Rey told her. He leaned toward tilted her chin up so he could get it and wiped it off. They stayed like that for a couple of seconds he stared into her radiant green eyes while she gazed into his chocolate brown pools. The minute he came close to her lips she stood up blushing.
"Rey I think it's time to head back I can feel myself being eaten alive by mosquitoes." She lied as a blush formed again on her cheeks.
"Ok." He felt disappointed but stood up and followed walking toward the hotel.
The two didn't speak for the whole time it took to walk back to the hotel. Each wondering 'why did I do that?'
Anastacia knew she wanted it but for some reason she didn't allow it to happen. Confusion filled her mind what were her true feelings towards Rey? Did he really try to kiss her? She was sure a man like him couldn't be interested in someone like her especially with women, even in the business, were lining up just to be with him. Women she thought that were more gorgeous, thinner, charismatic than her.

"Good night." Rey wished Anastacia as she opened her hotel room door.
"Good night and thank you." Anastacia spoke as she closed her door.

"How did everything go with Anastacia?" Chavo asked. He and Rey were currently sharing a room to save money.
"Man I think I got the wrong vibe from her I was so sure she liked me Chavo and I tried kissing her." Rey looked upset as Chavo stared down at him. Rey took off his shoes and sat on his bed.
"Maybe she just wasn't ready but don't give up Rey by the way she acts she's into you." Chavo was sure that his plan for tonight would have worked.
"Do you think so?" Rey asked.
"No doubt just take it little by little and she'll eventually tell you." Carlito gave him advice.
Arieru: Sorry! I promise they'll get together soon. Now please R&R!
