Kassie walking into her condo. She placed her bag and purse on the granite bar countertop. Kassie turned around and purred her self a drink and open to the refrigerator to find some leftovers. She popped the lid and put it in the microwave to heat up as she took a long sweet sip of the fresh Jack and Coke. Kassie placed the glass down and stared at the bags. She grabbed her purse and hung it up, taking her cell phone out of it. She figured that she better do what Mark asked and texted him.

"Secret one, I am home safety with this beauty." She laughed to her self and took a photo of her drink. She then turned her attention to the texts in the group text as she read them keeping up with all the drama of missing a Saturday night out with Jennifer and Amanda was bringing when the two of them were out on the prowl looking for a friend for the night.

Then she swiped and see Jessica messaged her "Worried about you, chin up girlfriend."

"Stop worrying about me. I am just doing me" Kassie wrote back with a winky face.

"Let's see that photo of you and Mark" Jess pushed, and Kassie laughed.

"Its nothing crazy," She said and sent the one from her phone.

"Kass, you can tell he is digging you."

"Not true. Mark stood like that with everyone." She laughed at the text and then went back to her glass and took another massive gulp of the golden liquid. 'I must be crazy' she thought to herself, 'how could I just do what I did today. That is not like me just to prove someone wrong.'

"Is that all you got?"

"No, there is a bag filled with this Undertaker stuff. I think I am going to give it to Mrs. Jones"

"I would look through it before you pass it off. Well, I am glad you are home and safe."

"Yes Mom" Kassie put a laughing face. The microwave beeped and brought her mind back to getting her self some food and drink. She pulled out the leftovers, placed it down at the bar, and then fixed herself a glass. She opened the back door and could hear the sound of the ocean slapping up against the beach. She ate her Dinner and then filled up her glass once again; after all, it was early in the night and no place to go.

Kassie sat out on the balcony in her favorite spot for when she needed to think, She scrolled through her news feed, and there it was just like Crystal said. "No fucking way!" Kassie said to her phone and clicked on the article, "Undertaker debuts a new beauty". There was a full-length article of her and being with Mark. She could not believe some of the items that were made up the material. She laughed at it; after all, this had to be some type of fake article.

'Where is that photo from? It is different than the one I have on my phone' Kassie tried to think through the fog. The photo on my phone was done first, and then his agent took another one; it is in my bag.' Kassie jumped up, almost tipping her drink "The bag" She ran into the house as fast as she could and slide across the hardwood floor. "what the fuck!" She said as she turned the photo over. To her surprise, it showed her the same picture that was in the article. Kassie studied the photo a bit more. Mark had a smile or at least a smirk on his face. Kassie smiled and ran her hand against what he wrote on the photo. 'You mean more to me than I'll ever let you know- Secret One The Undertaker.'

"Just breath" Kassie spoke to her self "You are going to get ahead of yourself here. Take one step at a time." She paused, "Don't overthink this." She kept repeating to herself. She walked back to her chair, took another drink of her Jack and Coke, and went back onto her dating site. She posted the goofy selfie from this morning. "I do look good" She laughed as she uploaded the photo.

It was getting late, and Kassie was getting cold even with the booze flowing through her. She grabbed what little items she had outside and headed back into the house. Kassie closed the balcony door behind her. She sighed as she looked at the contents of the bag all spread over the counter yet. She looked down at the photo and finished the last bit of her drink. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She could not believe what she wrote on the photo. She took the picture in her hand and walked into the bedroom, turning off the lights. She looked at her mirror on her dresser and placed the photo on the side of the mirror. She changed into her sleepwear and sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the picture.

"Get your shit together, Kass. You know you're going to overthink this, and it's going to be a disaster." She spoke to herself, self "If he wants to be with you. It will be worth the wait." She continued to talk to herself. She put her phone on the charger and got her self into bed. Kassie could not get herself to fall asleep. She rolled around for a bit of time and then decided she needed to fix this her self. She knew what would make her sleep in a matter of minutes. "Oh my goodness, Kassie lets get this out of you." She sat up and opened the drawer and grabbed her friend.

Kassie ran her hands down her inner thighs a few times and slowly up her stomach and to her breast. She played her head back against the pillow as she got her self to a pleasant pleasure. She placed her toy right on her sensitive womanhood and left herself to go. Her mind raced as her heart pounded in her chest and into her ear. She grabbed onto her breast and threw herself over the edge as she called out into the darkness. Her breath slowly started to claim down. She put her toy away and settled back down under the covers.

The morning soon turned to the early afternoon before Kassie woke up. She slowly got out of bed and into the bathroom to start waking up. She looked at her hair in the mirror as she moaned and pulled her hair back into a big tie. She looked at herself and felt better then she did last night. She brushed her teeth and started to get herself ready for the day. She walked back over to the bed and made it as she slid her phone into her back pocket. She noticed that there were already messages on it since it was flashing, but was not ready.

Kassie walked into the kitchen, noticing the bag that was all torn apart from last night. She slowly put the items back together as she turned on the machine to get the water warm. She noticed a lot of photos, cards, and tons of items that any fan would love to have. Kassie smiled and thought about how Mrs. Jones' grandson would love the items. She started to look at a few of them and noticed that Mark signed them all. No wonder why the ticket price was so much. She placed them neatly in the bag and figured she would give them to her later today.

Kassie put her cup under the machine and put in a hot tea pod and turned it on. She sighed and grabbed her self some toast and just made it dry. She was going to have to hit the gym today and get all the Jack she drank last night out of her system. She grabbed her toast and tea and headed back to the balcony. She crossed the living room and free up a hand to open the door. The sun was bright, and the warm air was nice to feel against her skin. She sat down and listen to the ocean as she enjoyed her breakfast. She reached down for her phone and unlocked it.

Kassie took a deep breath and first read Jennifer and Amanda chats in the group. It seems that both of them hooked up with guys an were going to be out most of the day. She then opened up her Facebook, and there were several new friend requests. She clicked on them and did not know any of them. She moved to scroll her news feed and began to read several of the stories that caught her eye.

"Sorry for the late text. I am glad that you got home safe and had a beauty to keep you company." Mark texted, and the text cut off. Kassie clicked on it quickly to finish reading it "I am glad that you came yesterday it was a nice surprise. See you soon"

"I was not ready for what I found out yesterday" Kassie texted "But I am glad I took the chance." She ran her finger above the send button, unsure if this is what she was supposed to say. Kassie jumped as her phone rang and hit the button. She sees the caller and declined it. She took a deep breath and tilted her head back into the sun.

Kassie took her time around the condo a bit and finally got herself dressed to go down to the gym. She needed to get her sweat on. She did her weight training with free wrights first and then 45 minutes of cardio. She felt good and felt like she had a good workout, which was an even better feeling. She wrapped the towel around her neck as she patted her head ever so often as she cleaned up. She turned off the light and went back up to her condo. She walked into her condo, grabbed the bag off the counter, and headed over to Mrs. Jones' condo.

"Hello?" Mrs. Jones answered the door.

"Hi, Mrs. Jones. Is Kassie." She smiled, and she opened the door wide up.

"Kassie darling. How are you doing?"

"I am good just finished with a nice workout. I wanted to give this to you. Your grandson was right. I had no idea."

"Thank you. I am sure he will enjoy these items." She paused and then hugged Kassie. "I will make sure the next time that my grandson comes over he thank you."

"Not a problem. Enjoy them, okay. I will see you around Mrs. Jones" Kassie hugged her once more and left. She smiled to herself. She did something good, and there is now a fan that will enjoy the Undertaker just a bit more.

Kassie wore a light blue blouse with black slacks and heels. Her hair was pulled back in half up and down, and her hair had loose curls that fell her back. She grabbed her cellphone and texted the girls' something to think about "It's Monday, don't forget to be awesome!"

"Oh please tell me there is coffee for Monday" Jennifer texted back, and Kassie put her phone in her purse as she enters the elevator. Kassie per her purse at her desk and went over and made a cup of coffee for Jennifer. She walked over to her desk and placed it down with a note 'There is now'

Monday continued on its sluggish way until Glen walked around the office and announced to everyone to get into the conference room. The girls huddled around each other and chatted as the rest of the team came into the room. Glen stood at the door, waiting for the last of the employees to file in. Jessica nudged Kassie as Mark came into the room. He stood close to Kassie, but not next to her. Kassie smiled and was not sure what was happening.

"I have an announcement to make," Glen said as he ran his hand through his short hair. "I just got told about how much more work I am going to have to ask for you guys and gals." Glen continued to stall.

"So, how long are you going to make us guess what is happening?" Mark said to him and looked around the room.

"Okay... okay... Congratulations, Kassie and Mark, the higher-ups agreed!" Glen said loudly, and the girls started to scream and grabbed each other, jumping up and down.

"You did it! You did it!" Jessica and Ashley said as the both hugged Kassie. Kassie laughed as the room continued to erupt with cheers.

"Because of you two. They are asking for our team here to look into several different opportunities that if we do this correctly... we will be making our mark." Glen said, and he was honest, and Kassie could tell. "So, let's get to work people!" Glen said, and everyone started to leave the room, still celebrating a victory.

The girls walked out, and Jessica and Kassie lagged from them. "See, I knew that you would fit in perfectly here." Kassie nodded her head as she looked over at Mark, who watched her and then headed into his office. Kassie gave him a strange look and continued to walk back to her desk. She began to think that it is strange that he didn't even congratulate her. "Girl you got your mojo don't let anyone take that from you," Jessica said to her as she sat back down in her seat. Kassie smiled and just bowed her head a bit.

Kassie walked into her condo as she put her purse down. She stood up against the counter and took off her heels. She walked around the wooden floor in her bare feet. She turned on the music channel as she started to cook some dinner. Her phone buzzed against the countertop. She looked over at it and picked it up to see the girls sending congratulation drinks in text messages. She laughed at it and then flipped over to the dating app as she scrolled through a few photos like the ones that she might want to talk to later. She stirred the noodles in the pot as the just began to boil. She sighed and looked down at her phone, a little upset that Mark didn't even say a word to her today. She left her phone on the counter and went into the bedroom to change into light sweatpants and a tank top.

She hears a knock on the door "Coming" She yelled as she grabbed the remote and lowered the TV betting it was the complaint department. She opened the door to see Mark standing there. "Well, this is a surprise."

"Yikes, I feel the daggers," Mark said with a smirk on his lips.

"Really?" Kassie said as she opened the door to see that Mark had champagne in his hands. Kassie started to laugh and put her hands through her hair as she pulled out the hair tie.

"So, can I come in?" Mark asked, and Kassie just waved him into the house.

"I am in the middle of the Dinner. There is enough if your not picky" Kassie said and laughed and shook her head.

"I am not that picky," Mark said as he walked in and closed the door behind him. "I wanted to congratulate you at work, but you were busy." Mark continued to look around as Kassie stood in the kitchen, finishing up Dinner. "You have a nice place here."

"Thanks," Kassie said as she dumped the pasta into the strainer. She grabbed the chicken that was in the oven and place it on the stovetop.

"Where are all your photos of your family?" Mark asked, and Kassie pushed her lips together, not wanting to answer the question. This was the one time that she was glad that her back was towards him.

"There are a few around," She said as she plated up the Dinner and placed one plate on the bar. "Can you grab the grated cheese in the refrigerator, please?"

"Sure," Mark said as she got up from the barstool and walked over to the refrigerator getting the cheese out as Kassie turned around with the second plate. "Dinner looks amazing. Are you sure that you had no idea I was coming over?"

"No clue," Kassie said, looking at him and laughing. She grabbed forks and knives and handed them to Mark. Mark popped open the champagne and started to pour it into the glasses that Kassie set on the table. "Sorry, nothing fancy."

"I am perfectly fine with it," He said as a knock on the door interrupted them. "You expecting someone?"

"No?" She said as she walked over to the door and opened it, "Mrs. Jones, are you okay?"

"Oh yes," She said, "This is my grandson Johnathan."

"John," the young kid said a bit shy.

"Johnathan, now what do you tell Kassie?" Mrs. Jones said, and Kassie smiled

"Thank you for the Undertaker items." He said, and Kassie smiled

"You're very welcome," Kassie said and looked back at Mark and motioned to him. He walked over, and in a matter of seconds, John's eyes lite up like Christmas lights.

"Oh Mr. Taker," John said and put his hand out, and Mark took it and shook it.

"Nice to meet you," He said to him, seeing the child shake a bit standing in front of him.

"Mr. Taker, thank you. My grandson here is so hard to please, and that night when he saw you here, you made his day." Mrs. Jones said, and Kassie started to laugh and pushed her lips together as she leaned up against the door. "We better let them go, Johnathan." She turned him away a bit, and he kept turning around to make sure that Mark was still standing there. "Kassie, darling, you two have a good night. Thank you again."

Kassie waved goodbye, and Mark placed his arm around Kassie's wrist and then dropped her hand in his. "So, that is what you did with the $300 worth of Undertaker items?"

"Um, yeah, some of them." She blushed a bit as Mark moved her into the condo and Kassie closed the door

"That was nice of you," Mark said as he walked back over to the Dinner and finished pouring the last glass.

"Yeah. Mrs. Jones is such a sweet neighbor." She paused a bit, "Plus, Crystal said there is an image that you guys have to keep. I just happen to make your image a bit softer." Kassie stuck out her tongue at him.

"Really?" Mark said, and Kassie started to laugh at the look on his face. "Well, I have to say that is some very good advice from Crystal. Now, back to dinner" He handed Kassie a glass "A toast to Kassie. A rich man lives in a castle, a poor man lives by the sea. But a whiskey glass and your fine ass are sweet to me." Kassie started to laugh, "Congratulations, Kassie. I can not wait to see what other new areas you bring this company too."

"Thank you" Kassie blushed as they clinked glasses together and then drink. The two of them ate Dinner and chatted about work and projects that were coming up. Mark finished his plate first and took it to the sink. "That looks fitting for you."

"Me? Doing dishes?" Mark asked as he took some water and splashed it on Kassie, and she laughed at him. Kassie took her plate around and washed it off before putting it into the dishwasher. Kassie cleaned up the rest of the Dinner, putting it away in the refrigerator, and Mark loaded the dishwasher. Mark heard the phone on the counter buzzing while Kassie goofed around dancing and singing to the music playing from the TV. He looked down, who was calling a bit nosy on who was calling. The name of the contacted read 'Fucking Cheater.' Mark smiled at himself as Kassie turned around with a bottle of champagne.

"Shall we polish this off?" Kassie smiled

"Sure," Mark said as she grabbed both the glasses after drying his hands. Kassie dancing her way out to the balcony. Mark smiled as he watched her. She sat down on the small wicker couch on the balcony. Mark sat down next to her and placed the glasses on the table, and took the bottle from Kassie's hand. He poured a bit more in the glasses.

"So I very curious. Why would you give up the wrestling life?" Kassie asked

"Well, my body is the reason why I couldn't keep going. My dad just recently past away, and it has gotten me to think about what I want in life." Kassie pulled her legs up, wrapping her arms around her knees. "I miss the traveling and the people that I worked with, but I been doing this for 30 years. It is time for me to reevaluate what I should be doing."

"That is why I came out here," Kassie said softly, "I had a horrible relationship that went bad, and I needed a new start." She took a sigh and looked out to the sun setting over the ocean. She was not sure how much information she should be giving Mark. "My parents want me to settle down. My mother makes sure to continue to tell me I am wasting my time just living life. The girls helped me move out here... show me that there is more than the small world I had... I am happy about that." She took a drink out of her glass and looked over at Mark.

"Your parents are happy with what your career is?"

"I guess it pays the bills. I think I am more part of the apple of their eye now than how I was. I am used to not hearing the praise." She laughed at her comment, "How about your parents?"

"My dad was my biggest fan, but also asked me what I was going to do for the future. My mom is the most loving mom figure that I could ever ask for. She never picked between my older brother and me. I think when you get older, the competition between everyone just stops."

Kassie laughed a bit "Oh, I hope so" she took a big drink and leaned her head back the ocean splashed against the beach. "This is the peace" She smiled at Mark.

"Yeah," Mark said as he sat back and got comfortable. He took a drink, "What is

your new plan?"

"Here?" Kassie asked, "I am just going to take it one step at a time." She smiled "The universe has my back."

"That is a good way to look at it." He paused.

Kassie smiled and leaned her head against Mark's shoulder "I never did what I did the other day. I am surprised that I even did it now that I sat back and think about it."

Mark started to laugh, "You were so out of water. Don't get me wrong, your outfit was spot on, but at the same point."

"Well thank you, because you know it takes a girl time to look good." Kassie looked up at Mark rubbing her face on his shoulder. The night continued as the two of them chatted and laughed about things that have happened and comments from each other. Kassie was enjoying the time that Mark was spending with her and in one of her favorite spots.

Kassie was sitting at her desk, reading the research into the next project. Mark walked up to Kassie's desk and leaned against the half wall cubical. "Hey Kassie," She turned around and smiled "You want to get some lunch?"

"Are you leaving now?"

"Yeah, come on." He smiled, and Kassie locked her computer and grabbed her purse. Amanda slid over in her chair to Jessica and pointed at the two of them as they walked out of the office. Mark placed his arm around the back of Kassie, and the elevator doors opened.

"So, you want to explain that?" Amanda asked, and Jessica looked at her

"Maybe Kassie is entertaining, Mark?" Jessica lifted her eyebrow.

"A girl that can have any guy... she is going to have to explain this" Amanda laughed a bit as she went back to her desk.

Mark took the bag out of Kassie's hand as he put his hand out for her to take to get out of the truck. "So, Glen believes that I need to keep in shape. I am going to go to a boxing class tonight. You want to go?" He laughed a bit as she stood in front of him, looking up to him.

"Yeah, I can entrain you in the ring" She laughed a bit, "I need to go home and change before heading out."

"I will pick you up at 7," He said with a smile across his lip. Kassie ran her hand against his arm and grabbed the bag out of his hand.

"Sounds like a plan" She smiled, and he closed the door of the truck and placed his arm around her back as the two of them walk into the office building, and back to the office.

Kassie sat at her desk, and Amanda and Jennifer stood behind her. "Please explain," Amanda asked, and Kassie turned around.

"What?" She asked, and they both motioned with their eyes to Mark's office.

"We just grabbed lunch"

"Yeah, you are falling for him," Jennifer called out.

"We have a lot in common and chat here and there."

"Really?" Amanda and Kassie smiled and took a breath

"We are not a thing. Just friends" She said with a smile, and Jennifer crossed her arms. The girls quickly ran when Mark walked out of his office and went over to Jessica's cubical. Kassie started to laugh as the scattered and Mark looked over at her, and she bowed her head.

Kassie put on a cropped top along with comfortable black spandex pants with black sneakers. She pulled her hair back, braiding it to a ponytail. She packed a small bag as she heard a knock on the door. She looked at her phone, "Oh shit. He is a little early." she said softly, "Coming!" she called and ran to the door. "Hey," she said, and Mark smiled "Come in. I am almost ready... Does this look okay?"

"Oh yeah, you look good." He said, his mind racing all over the place.

"Thanks" She smiled and grabbed her purse and threw it into the bag. "I am good"

"Great" Mark said, and Kassie headed out first, and Mark followed her. The two went into the gym. Mark made sure to be the gentleman as much as possible. Mark signed the two in and shortly after that was greeted by the trainer. The trainer got prepped as they wrapped both Kassie and Mark's hands. The group chatted and laughed. Then the trainer started with the basics and then allowed Kassie to work out on the bag, and Mark and the trainer went into the ring and did a few advance movements.

"So, are you two a thing?" the trainer asked.

"Working on it." Mark said and looked up at him "What are you thinking about?"

"She totally into you." He paused, "Put your foot on the gas and get on it."
