I do not own any one in the WWE
It was late Saturday afternoon when I was fully settled into my new home. I was happy to be away from Shawn knowing that I would never have to face him again made me feel at ease. I decided to go out and explore the city and see exactly where I would be working. I found the building with ease.
I went back home and relaxed for the rest of the week end.
Monday morning I was up earlier than normal, I guess it was just nerves. Every thing had to be just right, my hair and especially my make up. I tried to cover the bruise the best that I could but it still showed through just a little. Oh well I did my best.
I walked into work and went right up to the 30th floor to meet with Vince. He was on the phone when I got there so I had to wait.
Ms. Summers, Mr. McMahn will see you now, the receptionist said.
Thank you I said as I got up to walk into his office.
You must be Ms. Summers. Vince said as he extended his hand out for me to shake.
I am and you can call me Skye if you would like. I am not much into the formal name stuff.
OK well then Skye it is. Your firm has told me they sent the best that they had how do you feel about that statement.
I would tell you that they told you right. I am very dedicated to my work. I make sure every thing is accurate right down to the penny. I am just that anal.
That is just the answer that I was hoping to hear. Now do you watch wrestling at all.
I couldn't believe my ears did my client just ask me if I watch wrestling. Yes as a matter a fact I do, I watch Smackdown.
Just Smackdown, why not Raw or ECW?
I don't know I have been watching Smackdown since I was 18 just to see my favorite wrestler Shannon Moore.
Really Shannon Moore is your favorite, he is very talented I can see why you like him.
Well now why don't you check out Raw and ECW and see what kind of talent is on there too you might be surprised.
I will do that I will start tonight with Raw. We talked for about an hour or so more about the account and he gave me the history of his business. He told me about his family. We also talked about me providing tax services to all of his employees and the superstars. I agreed that I would provide the services to those who wanted them.
Vince showed me to the accounting department and as he was going to pass me off to another person to show me my office he decided to stop Skye you said you watch Smackdown right, because of Shannon.
Yes I did say that why?
ECW and Smackdown travel together and they are in town tomorrow night. Would you like to go?
I would love to go.
Give me your phone number and address and I will have Shannon pick you up.
Whoa, wait a minute Mr. McMahn, You will have Shannon pick me up.
Yes Skye that's what I said I will have him pick you up and you can hang out back stage together and get to know some of the other wrestlers and they can get to know you, because I am sending out the tax time memo today. Is that OK with you?
Yes, Mr. McMahn that is totally fine with me, just let me know when to be ready.
Oh and Skye it's OK you can call me Vince.
Thank you Vince.
I walked into the accounting department and was met by Jennifer. I quickly introduced myself to her and told her why I was there. She showed me my office and all of the books and the special computers. I thought to myself oh my god what did I get myself into these records are a total mess. How could some one like Vincent McMahn have such an unorganized accounting department. She told me that she knew every thing was a mess but she pretty much knew where every thing was so if I needed any help just let her know. I told her thank you and I probably would be asking for some help some where down the road. I sat down at the computer and played around becoming familular with different department ledgers for the quarter. After a while of this I started to look through the books. The books were much easier to go through they were at least dated and labeled. By the time 5pm came around I was more than ready to go home. When I got home I had just sat down when my phone had started to ring. I answered it and much to my surprise it was Shannon telling me when he would be picking me up for the show. Just hearing his voice again made my body melt.
That night I could hardly sleep, I just laid there looking at the picture of Shannon and I from three years earlier at that show in L.A. Thinking oh my god I am really going to be spending some time with Shannon compliments of Vincent McMahn. I went to work the next day but I had a hard time concentrating on the tasks that I was trying to do, all I could think about was tonight and Shannon. I had managed to get one set of books matched to a set of records on the computer. So I spent the majority of the day comparing the two sets of records and updating the book so it matched the computer.
I got a phone call around 2pm. It was Shannon asking if I would like to go out to dinner before the show. I told him that I would love to. He told me good he would pick me up at 4pm sharp. I told him I would see him then. I left work shortly after we hung up, so I could get ready. I wanted to look just perfect.
When I got home I changed into a pink tank top and jeans that sat perfectly on my hips. I let my mid-back length sandy blond hair lay loose over my shoulders. As I went to put on my make-up I looked at my face and remembered what had happened to me just a few days before. Did I really deserve what I got? I just shook my head and told myself it wasn't my fault and continued to put on my make-up. Tonight was my night to be with Shannon and nothing was going to ruin that. Just as I finished putting on my make-up I heard the doorbell ring. I ran down the stairs and answered the door.
The man at the door looked at me and asked me if I was Skye.
I looked at him and said yes I was why?
Shannon is running late so he sent me to get you.
He lead me out to a beautiful stretch limousine, and opened the door for me to get in. When I got in there was a single red rose with a note attached.
The note said sorry I am running a little behind schedule I will see you at the restaurant. Shannon
Oh he is so sweet a rose and a limo he didn't have to do this, he could have just called and I would have met him.
When I arrived at the restaurant the limo driver got out and opened up my door to let me out. I felt so special. When I entered the restaurant there in the lobby was Shannon waiting for me. I saw him just as he turned around to look at the bar. I walked up and touched him on the shoulder and said Shannon he turned around I held out my hand and said my name is Skye.
He looked at me and said wow hi.
What was the wow for?
What do you mean wow, I said wow?
Yes Shannon you did, am I not what you expected?
No you are not what I expected, you are much more.
What did you think you were getting stuck with some ugly duckling?
To tell you the truth I didn't know what to expect all Vince said is that I was going to be picking up his new accountant and be bringing her to the show tonight.
We sat talking at the bar for about an hour while waiting for a table. While at the bar I told Shannon that I had met him before. He said really when? It was about three years ago at a show in L.A. You saved me from an angry fighting mob backstage, as I pulled the picture out of my wallet and showed it to him. He just chuckled. I told him from that night on I was hooked on Smackdown just to see him. But not to worry I would be on my best behavior.
Oh I see and you told Vince I was your favorite wrestler and that is how we ended up here together.
Pretty much in a nut shell I guess. Are you mad?
No I am not mad, how can I be I have a lovely lady by my side that I get to show off for the whole evening.
Now Shannon this is sort of a professional date for me to, because you are suppose to introduce me to the other wrestlers as well because, Vince has offered up my tax services to every one on the rosters.
Yes, you are right I did receive that memo, but I don't care you are still my date. We were finally lead to our table where we ordered our food and ate and talked more about ourselves and our families and friends and well my lack of.
Skye I can't believe a beautiful girl like yourself doesn't have a boyfriend.
I just haven't looked and nobody special has caught my eye, and the one's that do are way out of my league. I believe in letting the guys come to me that way I don't look like some sort of a tramp. I guess I am just old fashioned, at least that is what my mom keeps telling me. She tells me that I will know when the right one comes along because he will pick me. That's what happened with her and daddy.
So have any guy's come to you yet?
Nope, I am still waiting for the day that my prince will come. (Laughing)
So has any one caught your eye?
(Blushing) Yes, but way out of my league.
Skye are you blushing?
What, who, me, blushing no, I don't, I'm not blushing am I.
Shannon cupped my chin in his hand and brought my face up so I was looking at him. You like me don't you?
As I pulled away, Well of course along with probably a million other girls.
Skye you carry a picture of us in your wallet, you aren't just like any other girl you are secretly in love with me.
Shannon stop it right now. I don't want to go through this now. Yes Ok I admit I am a little obsessed with you but it's just a me thing and I am behaving so just stop.
(Laughing) OK I will stop, but who says you are out of my league.
Shannon don't even say things like that. It just makes me think that I have a chance and I know that I don't.
Skye, maybe some where down the road when we get to know each other better who knows what may happen.
What do you mean down the road when we get to know each other better?
Well I do have your number and you could do my tax's and if you have the time you can do my tattoo shop's tax's and I do have 3 employees I can refer.
We can go to more shows around the area together if you would like.
I would love to do all of your tax's and I would love to go to more shows with you if my schedule allows. That is another thing with my job it is so hard to date. Being an accountant is like having two full time jobs almost three during tax time.
It is the same being a wrestler, you barely have any time for your self so I guess I can see where you are coming from.
Exactly the only difference is I stay in one place mostly to work and I am home every night.
When we were done eating we went to the arena to get set up to watch the show. When we got there Shannon introduced me to all of the different superstars. The introductions were all brief but two they were brothers Matt and Jeff Hardy. The four of us sat and talked for about an hour. Boldly Jeff looked at me and said who hit you?
I said excuse me?
You heard me right Skye, Who hit you? Your eye I can see the bruise from under the makeup and you have several on your arm.
(I never even knew the ones on my arm were there or I would have never wore the tank top.)
I don't mean to sound rude but it is really none of your business. I just got into a fight at a bar with some chick she thought I was flirting with her man.
Shannon just gave me a look of concern, he knew I was lying.
Well I sure hope you did some damage control on her also.
Jeff, I did now drop it.
When it was time for the show to start Shannon took me by the hand and lead me to the green room to watch the show. We sat on the couch. After a little while I moved closer to Shannon and snuggled by his side laying my head on his chest, he just went with the flow and put his arms around me. We stayed like this for about five minutes and then I pulled away and told him I was sorry.
Skye, what are you sorry for?
I shouldn't have done what I did, I was way out of line. I don't even know you that well. I don't want you to get the wrong idea of me.
Skye, you seem confused about what you are feeling right now talk to me.
Shannon, I can't because I don't know how or what I am feeling, because I have never felt like this before. I feel so calm so safe.
Why don't you feel safe other wise?
When Jeff asked me about my bruises, I lied about how I got them.
I know that. How did you get them?
Last week thursday, my boss Mr. Harris came over to my house to see if I needed help packing well we started drinking we went out for dinner he brought me back home and then he (I stopped and started to cry)
Shannon took me in his arms Skye what did he do to you?
He pushed me down on my bed and he started to rape and beat me. The more I begged him to stop the more he hit me. Shannon I was a virgin until that point. He told me I was a tease and I deserved it. The more I talked the closer Shannon pulled me to him until he was holding me in his arms telling me no one would ever hurt me like that ever again. I made Shannon swear that he could never tell any one because if it got back to my boss I would loose my job.
Shannon swore he would not tell a sole.
I went to pull away from Shannon, but he wouldn't let me go. He told me to relax as he stroked my hair. He asked me if any one else knew about my situation.
Shannon you are the only one I have told, I have no other friends, as I let myself hold Shannon back and start to relax.
The next thing we knew Vince had come into the green room and boomed with a "Hi Kids" we both sat up and I said hi Vince.
So Skye I see you are having a good time with Shannon.
Yes sir I am, thank you again for arranging this for me.
Shannon, I am trusting that you are behaving your self.
Yes, of course Vince I always behave myself.
Skye is he behaving?
Yes Vince, he is being a perfect gentleman.
With that Vince left the green room.
After the show ended Shannon asked me if I would like to go to the after show party.
I don't know if I should go or not you have already had to put up with me for five hours already and you are probably getting sick of me.
Skye, if I were getting sick of you I wouldn't have asked you to the party.
Shannon, I am not much of a drinker.
So don't drink just have soda, talk some more with me, maybe a dance or two. I am enjoying your company. Please come.
Alright I will come. I do admit I enjoy your company also and I really don't want this night to end.
The night went by so fast, I wished it would have went by a little slower. When it was time to go home Shannon took his time driving to my house. When we finally got there, Shannon got out and came around and opened my door and helped me out of his hummer. He took me by the hand and walked me to my door. He waited while I unlocked my door. I invited him for a drink. I was in the kitchen getting Shannon his soda, when I came out to the living room I found Shannon asleep on my sofa. He looked so peaceful, I couldn't wake him up. I went upstairs and grabbed a blanket and brought it back down to cover him. Just as I got him fully covered and was about to turn to go to bed myself he started to wake up.
I'm sorry I must have dozed off. I should be going.
Yes you did doze off and that means that you are tired and should not be driving. You can stay here with me tonight.(I took him by the hand and lead him to my bed room)
Skye are you sure this is what you want.
Yes Shannon I want you to stay with me, no sex, just hold me. Can you do this for me?
Yes I would love to hold you in my arms all night long.
Good night Shannon
Good night Skye
