CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
I'll Wait For You
June 4, 2011...
Darien looked out her window. She knew that things were normal. She was home for a day and it was raining outside. She was supposed to meet with her father at the house before she left for Miami Florida. She walked up the stairs. She was wet and chilly when she knocked on the door.
Shawn answered the door and gave her a hug. "It is good to see you baby girl."
Darien smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Rebecca and I would like to talk to you about some things alright."
"Alright daddy."
"Come on in and get into some dry clothes."
She laughed. "Alright dad." she said coming inside.
Shawn handed her a towel to dry her hair out.
The snow in Montana was three feet high
The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights
And so he called her on the telephone
He said: I'll rent a car and I'll drive home
"Alright what did you want to talk about."
"Have you really thought this through. I mean marrying Jeff and all?" asked Rebecca.
"Yes. I really have thought about marrying him. He is my high school sweetheart."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes Rebecca. I am sure about it. Don't you see Rebecca I love Jeff as much as you love dad."
"Rebecca baby why don't you go and make some tea up. You know what Darien drinks."
"Yes of course she is the only one that drinks green tea."
"I drink green tea too baby."
"Alright." said Rebecca leaving.
And she said: I'll wait for you
Like I did last year
At Christmas time with your family here
And your truck broke down out in San Antone
And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
"Darien why do you hate Rebecca so much? She is only trying to help you out I hope you know that."
"She is thirty-eight dad. She isn't that much older than me. You know that."
"Baby I know you don't like your step mom only being six years older than you... but you got to understand that I love her."
"Dad you are way older than her. You are eighteen years older than me. That is bad. You are only twelve years older than her. You got to understand that I don't like someone being older than me by six years and being married to you."
"Baby girl... I am sorry that you feel that way. You got to understand that things are the way that it happened. Maybe we can go to church tomorrow."
"Dad I am not sure about that."
"Baby you haven't been to church for a while. You need to come more often you know that as well as I do."
"I know dad."
Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville
Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home
She says: I'll wait for you like in '68
When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait
Until his dad gets here and stands by my side
Remember, Dear, our son's first cry
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
"Baby just don't let things get to you alright."
"I know dad."
Rebecca came into the room with two glasses of iced green tea and english tea for herself. "There you guys go."
Darien slowly took it and said thank you.
"Darien I know you don't like me, but I really do mean well alright."
"I am sorry Rebecca, but I got issues of my own to work out. I can't hate you forever. You have given me great advice in the past... I liked you better as my aunt... not my step mom."
"Baby I know you miss your mom and that and all... I will help you out when ever you need it. I always will love you and you know that."
"I know that Rebecca. I should get going though. I got to get to the airport and get to see my fiancee and that."
"You still need to think of what you are doing though."
"I know that and I will."
He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
And he finally got there around midnight
The doctor said, she's in a better place
She said to give this you this note just in case
Rebecca nodded her head.
"I got to go now. Bye dad. Bye Rebecca." said Darien getting up and leaving. She got into her car and was on her way to the airport. She was more worried about what was going to happen with her and Jeff not what was going to happen between her father and her step mother Rebecca. She just couldn't really see her dad with any one else than Rebecca. She just had to learn to accept their love and Rebecca would have to accept her love for Jeff. They both had to do that. Maybe when Rebecca would see them together she would get it soon enough. Her phone began to ring. She answered it. "Hello?"
"Darien it is me."
"Oh hey Cuz... What did you need?"
"Well I wanted to know what was up between you and Hardy?"
"Well we are getting married soon."
"That is good to hear. I love hearing that cuz."
"Thanks."
"Well are you catching a flight to Miami?"
"Yeah. I got a match against Mickie James. Why would you think I wouldn't be there. Besides dad was supposed to be joining me, but Vince McMahon gave him Monday Night off since he needs time off to get over the fact of grandad being dead."
"I know that Darien. I know you went back to work one week after. That was a wonderful job that you did."
"Thank you cuz."
"Well I'll talk to you later."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Darien hung up and got out of her car. She got onto her flight when her phone rang. "Hello."
"Baby when are you going to get here?"
"I am on my flight now. I should be there in four hours."
"Alright sweetheart I will wait for you then."
"Alright."
"Bye."
"Bye." she hung up her phone. She loved the word 'I'll wait for you' It was the best song that she had heard in years and she wasn't going to give up on anything.
And it said, I'll wait for you at Heaven's gate
Oh, I don't care how long it takes
And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in
Without my love and my best friend
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
P.S. I love you, too
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
DXDXDXDXDXDX
That is the end of chapter thirty six. I don't own I'll wait for you... will Darien and Jeff get married on a live airing of Raw or will they get married on the air on another show? Will they just continue as they are now? Will they have a double wedding with Mickie James and Lance Hoyt?
