I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING BESIDES THE OC'S
Fin's Point of View-
"Have you ever been on Speed?" I asked glancing over at him.
"No, is it good?"
"Yeah, it is awesome. They also have Cyber Speedway, which is NASCAR and you sit in an actual car, you drive and race other people that are in the cars next to you." I explained.
"Sounds cool." Shannon said nodding his head; we pulled into the Sahara's parking lot.
"It isn't the most popular hotel on the strip, but it is nice." I said as I grabbed his hand, intervened our fingers and I led him towards Speed.
"You go on Speed a lot?"
"Not really, but I only come to the Strip when I needed alone time or thinking time."
"Oh, if I am ever imposing let me know." Shannon said starting to feel guilty.
"No, it isn't anything dealing with you baby." I said kissing him on the lips lightly. We walked up to the counter to purchase tickets.
"Two for Speed and two for Cyber Speedway." Shannon said pulling out his wallet.
"I got it." I said going through my purse.
"Dude, this is my surprise, let me pay." Shannon said doing the puppy dog look with his blue eyes.
"Fine, you win." I said as I put my wallet back into my purse. We walked up the stairs to the ride, I paid for a locker, and we put my purse and anything extra in the locker.
"Front row." Shannon said grabbing my hand and pulled me into the front row line.
"This is going to be fun." I said as the gates to go onto the ride cart opened. Shannon climbed in first and helped me into the cart. We sat down on the ride and pulled the overhead bars down, and I grabbed his hand.
"You scared?" He asked.
"No, keep your head as much as possible with that Mo-hawk." I said to him as he leaned his head back. The ride shot us out, we went under the tunnel through the loop, got the picture taken, around the corner and then straight up. We sat there weightlessness for a few seconds, then when backwards through the track to a complete stop at the beginning. "How was that?" I asked lifting up my overhead bar.
"Different." Shannon said climbing out of the cart and helping me up.
"Enjoy it?"
"Yeah, I never heard you scream so much though." Shannon said giggling.
"Shut up, I thought I heard you screaming some choice words on that ride." I said pulling out my stuff from the locker. Shannon led me back down the stairs to look at the photo, we giggled uncontrollably at the photo that was taken.
"Aren't you two wrestlers?" The employee behind the counter asked.
"Yes sir." Shannon said leaning on the counter. The employee printed out the photo, and asked us to sign it to put on the wall of fame type thing to show the people who rode the ride and was looking at photos and might purchase them.
"Thank you so much, on behalf of Speed, we give you a complimentary photo." The employee said and handed us a 5x7 photo. We walked out to Cyber Speedway, I picked the orange car, and he picked the blue car next to me.
"Your going down!" Shannon yelled over to me.
"You wish!" I yelled back as the game started, we drove the car/game until it came to an end. Shannon came in 1st, I came in 2nd.
"Told you that I would win." Shannon said smiling.
"Because I let you win." I said kissing him on the lips as he put his arm around me; I grabbed his arm that was resting on my shoulder.
"What else is there to do?"
"We can go to the MGM and see the lion cubs." I suggested.
"Say what?" Shannon asked looking at me weird.
"They have lion cubs in the MGM Grand." I said as I led him to the Monorail. I bought the tickets for the Monorail, and we rode the escalator up to the Monorail.
"This is the cheap and fast way to go from hotel to hotel?" Shannon asked looking at the Monorail signs that said what hotels they hit.
"Yep, gets people around." I said cuddling up next to him. The Monorail arrived, we walked onto the Monorail, and we were the only ones on that cart. I sat down on his lap and leaned onto his chest.
"I love you." Shannon said rubbing my back.
"I love you too." I said kissing him on the lips gently as we pulled up to the next stop and people got onto the cart. We smiled at the older couple that got onto the cart and just looked at us smiling.
"That's going to be us one day." Shannon said looking up at me with his crystal blue eyes.
"Maybe, that depends if I decide to keep you." I said jokingly.
"What?" He said while he started tickling me, the older couple just laughed as well. We heard the lady tell the guy 'Remember when we were young like that?' Shannon stopped tickling me and just smiled. We pulled up to the next few stops, which it finally came to our stop and we climbed off the cart and walked through the Monorail exit hand and hand to the MGM Grand. I led him the Lion Cub exhibit.
"They are only 6 months old I think." I said leaning against the banister and the glass.
"They seem really big for being 6 months." Shannon said holding me by the waist. He took photos of the lion cubs, and of me and him.
"I think that there is a photo booth back at Sahara, we can do that when we go back." I suggested.
"They do?"
"Yeah, and it comes out with two strips and you can rip them so both people could have one." I explained.
"Sweet, anything else down here we can do?" He asked.
"We can go ride the New York Crazy Taxi ride, or the arcade." I suggested as I led him over to New York New York. We went on the roller coaster.
"That one is way better than Speed." Shannon said trying to fix his Mo-hawk.
"Okay, you want to play some arcade games?" I asked as I put a 5 dollar bill into the change machine. We both played the MTV Drum Set game, and we played four 25 cent stuffed animal crane games. We won only one stuffed animal, but we gave it to a little girl that didn't win one next to us.
"You ready to go back to the Sahara?" I asked as I led him back to the MGM Grand.
"Yeah, and we should be right on schedule." Shannon said smiling. We climbed onto the next Monorail cart that came.
"Do you like Vegas?" I asked.
"I guess it will do, do you enjoy living here?"
"I like it, if I ever want to get away, I have a hotel I can go to that is pretty much open 24 hours, but I have no problem with Cameron if that is what you're getting at." I said sitting down next to him.
"Well, I wasn't going to say anything about the living situation yet, when we get to the whole break thing, we will have to figure out the whole where we go on our time off, because I doubt that I will be able to last that long without you." Shannon said leaning forward on his elbows on his knees. I rubbed his back and tried to make eye contact with him.
"Shannon, I am sure that now that I am bringing the dogs along with us on tour, I am sure that the whole living situation will be figured out soon, I am sure that my sister and I will end up in Cameron with you since that is where the Hardy's are, Gregory is for Toes, and where you are, so I am going to go where my heart is, and right now my heart is you." I said turning him to face me, and I planted a kiss on his lip with lots of force behind it.
"You're so willing to move to Cameron like that?"
"I didn't say anything about moving quite yet, but I know on my times off, that is if you're on time off, but I am not moving anywhere until we get further into our relationship." I said rubbing his knee.
"Thank you Fin and I love you." Shannon said hugging me. We rode the Monorail talking about work, and the matches coming up.
"How did Jeff shatter his knuckles?" I asked as we walked off the Monorail and headed back into the hotel.
"He has to tell you that." Shannon said shaking his head no.
"You want to do the photo booth?" I asked as we entered into the hotel.
"Yeah, sure." He said as I led him to the photo booth. He sat down on the chair and I sat on his lap, I inserted the money into the machine to take the 4 photos. We had one where we both did the peace sign, one where we both did the rocker sign, one where he was smiling and I was giggling from him tickling me, and the last one was one of us kissing. We waited outside the booth waiting for the photos to print.
"Those photos were priceless." I said kissing him lightly on the cheek.
"Yeah I know, we got to take them with us to show the guys."
"Thank you for bringing me home, it feels great to be back home for once." I said smiling as the photos dropped. I pulled them out and busted out in laughter, I ripped the two strips of photos and handed one to Shannon.
"This is going to be put in my wallet." Shannon said as he pulled out his wallet and slid it in with other photos.
"Why pull out your wallet in the wide open in a hotel in Vegas? Put it away." I said pushing it shut.
"Okay, I will, back to your car?" Shannon said sliding his wallet into his pocket. We walked towards the parking garage and walked by the gift shop. "Wait a minute; I want to buy a frame." Shannon said walking into the gift shop buying a picture frame with Las Vegas on it.
"I'll buy it." I said handing the lady my card to purchase the item.
"Girl, this is my surprise trip, and I should be buying these things." Shannon said kind of angry.
"You have done enough, you planned this thing and have dealt with me crying the last 2-4 days, it is the least I can do." I said signing the receipt and putting my credit card back in my wallet. We walked out to the parking garage, and climbed into the car.
"Do you take your dog with you on short road trips like to the store or through the drive through?" Shannon asked rolling down his window.
"If I am going to Pet-co, yes, and for drive through sometimes, because some restaurants around here will give your dog a treat if the dog is in the car." I said as I headed out of the garage towards the house.
"People in this city drive crazy, how do you deal with it?"
"Easily, I have lived here long enough to get used to it, just something you have to adapt to I guess." I said as I turned down my street.
"Is there anything for little kids around here, like a park, or something?" Shannon asked.
"Yeah, why do you have any kids that I need to know of?" I asked pulling into my garage and shutting the door behind us.
"No, I am just wondering." Shannon asked climbing out the car and calling the limo driver to come and pick them up. We walked into the house, I grabbed the two bags full of food, one bag per dog, two little water dishes for the flight back to New York, and I folded the carry on dog bags open for the dogs. I grabbed the leashes from the other room along with some of their favorite toys to play with.
"Are you enjoying the dogs?" I asked as I walked out into the living room to see him rolling around the floor playing with dogs. I pulled out my camera phone and snapped some photos of him and sent it to Toes, Matt, Maddie, and Jeff.
"Hey, who did you send that to?"
"Toes, Matt, Maddie and Jeff, I was going to send it to Gregory but wasn't sure if he has texting or not." I said as the door bell rang, the two dogs ran to the door barking their little barks trying to act like big dogs. I picked them both up as I opened the door to find the limo driver.
"The jet is waiting." He said. Shannon carried the two bags filled with food as I put the dogs on their leashes, and put them in the dog carrying bags and carried them out to the limo. As we sat in the back of the limo, we played with the dogs through the case.
"How'd you enjoy that surprise?" Shannon asked not looking over at me.
"I loved it; I was totally not expecting it." I said smiling and leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"That is what Maddie said." Shannon said smiling at the fact that he has done well. We soon arrived to the airport and we climbed up into the jet, and as the door shut for the jet, we were able to let the dogs out to run wild until it was landing time. The stewardess was playing with the dogs, and filled their water bowls for them as they ran around the jet playing and exploring the jet.
"Those dogs are crazy." I said shaking my head at my dogs.
"But they are so cute, just like you." Shannon said pulling me closer to him; I leaned onto his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me.
"You know Shannon; I don't know how someone as attractive and charming as you ended up with someone like me." I said with tears stinging my eyes.
"What do you mean by that sweetie?" Shannon said running his hand through my hair.
"I mean, I am ugly, fat, not as sweet as you, I mean, maybe Jeff was right, we weren't meant to be." I said with tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Dude, I love you for who you are, not your looks, but I love the way you look. You're so attractive, you have the BEST personality and I love everything about you, I think that we are perfect together. It feels right to be with you; at least to me it feels right." He said kissing my head.
"It does feel right being with you, I just wish that I knew it was right." I said wiping my tears from my face. I sat back up regular and kissed Shannon on the lips intensely. Shannon separated the kiss after a few moments to catch his breath.
"What's up with all these intense and soft kisses that you know I enjoy?" I asked running my hands through her hair.
"I don't know, I mean with Jeff, he never tried anything and/or every time I tried to tease him, it never worked or he hid it really well." I said fixing my hair.
"So, is that why you have the image problems, you know how beautiful I think you are." Shannon said rubbing my cheeks with his finger.
"He made me feel horrible, like I was ugly and I was not attractive enough for him."
"It's understandable." Shannon said pulling a crying me into a hug and onto his lap so I can sob onto his shoulder.
"Excuse me, the jet is going into landing mode, you need to put the dogs into the carrying bags." The stewardess said. Shannon and I chased Willow and Teddy around the jet trying to catch them, we finally were able to pick them up and put them into their bags. We sat back down in the seats and buckled up.
"I love these dogs." Shannon said playing with Teddy through the carry bag.
"You're a dork." I said giggling.
"You feel better?"
"A little." I said smiling at him.
