Early that morning, Rhonda headed to the airport. The whole way she was giggling to herself. She had never done something so impetuous before, but since she had met Stu, she had done many things she had never done before. Or had ever even thought of doing. When she got on the plane, she dozed off, still thinking of how surprised he would be to see her. She was looking forward to seeing him in the ring again since she didn't have the chance while they were in town. She was embarrassed to tell him that she hadn't seen him perform since he was still with Nexus.

While she was on an airplane flying to see him, he was up early making rounds to the radio stations doing interviews. He liked being so popular now, but he got tired of answering the same questions over and over.

When Rhonda made it to town, she went and dropped her things off at her hotel and headed straight for the mall. 'Hell if I am going to blow money might as well go all the way.'

She went into Macy's and bought a Michael Kors long-sleeve ponte stripe sheath dress. She found some black, thigh high dress boots with black tights. She also wanted to make the surprise complete, so she stopped by the lingerie section to find something to blow his mind. She bought a red and black mesh babydoll that accentuated her curves. She knew he would approve. After grabbing lunch, she found a salon and had her hair done, got a manicure and pedicure, and waxed. Before, Stu had surprised her and hadn't seen her at her best. Tonight, that would change and she would rock hisworld.

Later that evening, he called to see how she was doing. He figured now the shock and adrenaline had wore off, she was depressed and worried about losing her job. Little did he know, she felt more free than she had in years. When she saw it was him calling, she had to compose herself. She wanted to blurt out that she was in town, but wanted to surprise him more. "Hello?"

"Hello love. How are you doing today?"

"Um, well, you know. I am okay. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Had a long day so far, and I have RAW tonight. Another over the top rope match. It should be fun. Chris Jericho is supposed to be in it and I like working with him."

"Sounds great! I will have to make sure I don't miss it tonight."

"You will get to see me in all my glory."

"Can't wait. I like how you get that sex hair look after your match."

Stu started laughing "sex hair?"

"Yes, when it is wet with sweat and sticking to your forehead and it is all mussed all over your head. Mmmm sexy."

He chuckled louder "well so glad you like it."

"I really do. So when do you have to go to the arena?"

"Well me and the lads are actually leaving in a few minutes. Waiting for Diva Drew to finish drying his hair and then we are going."

Rhonda giggled "shush. Be nice."

"You try being late everywhere you go because he has to do his hair so that he won't get split ends!" Stu said with a hearty laugh. "But he is my mate, so I tolerate it!"

"Well that is really kind-hearted of you!" she replied with a chuckle. "I'm ready to watch you tonight. Really looking forward to it."

"You are eh? Why's that then?"

"Because you are so good and quite nice to look at too" she said flirtatiously. "Besides, your tight little trunks don't leave very much to the imagination."

Stu stifled a snicker "Is that a fact? I didn't know that."

"I don't believe that for a minute! I think you know exactly what you are doing walking around like that. You really want everyone to look!"

"You think so?"

"Oh I know so! Everyone noticed how your trunks kept getting tighter and smaller. You know what you are doing Stu, don't try to act innocent."

Stu was cracking up, "you think everyone noticed huh?"

"Most definitely. All of us at work were saying…"

"Wait, all of you at work? What were you saying about me?"

She teased "well we were just saying how much more noticeable your, um English blessing, had became, especially when you went to the green trunks. Very impressive."

He was about to bite through his tongue to keep from laughing. "Well I am glad I could entertain you and your girlfriends love."

"Oh, you certainly do."

"Well sweets, Drew has finally graced us with his presence so we are going to go."

"Okay. I will be cheering for you!"

Stu smiled into the phone "thanks. I will call you later on if you will be up?"

"I will be around" she said cheekily. "Good luck tonight."

"Alright then. Talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye."

After she hung up, she could hardly contain herself. She decided to go have dinner then grab a taxi to the arena.

"So who was on the phone mate? Hmmm, your girlfriend?" Drew taunted.

"Shut it, right."

"Oh, sensitive are we laddie?"

"Aye, be quiet Drew. Can't yeh see Stu is brooding? It's because he ain't got the bollocks to ask her to be his. So he will be all moody and sulky till he grows a pair."

"Bugger off, the both of you."

Stephen and Drew both scoffed "Hey, don't be mad at us because yer acting like a lovesick teenager."

Stu's ears turned red and huffed "I guess you have it all figured out then, eh Casanova? You have such a great track record with women." Drew snickered and Stu spun around "I don't know what you are laughing for. You don't either. So both of you can get stuffed." He turned on his heel and headed towards the elevator.

The guys cackled "Oh yeah fella, he has it bad. Ah have never seen him act like that!" Stephen remarked.

"Me neither, Casanova!"

They followed after him, trying to keep him from hearing their mocking him. Stu was mumbling to himself, irritated with his friends, but annoyed with himself and his feelings. He really wanted to be honest with Rhonda and tell her he wanted more than friendship, but he was afraid that she wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a man that was always on the road. He wasn't even sure when he would see her again.

Stu was silent on the drive to the arena, lost in his thoughts. He knew he would have to come clean sooner rather than later before he went insane. Just the thought of Rhonda being with someone else made him jealous, and then made him angry because he had no right to be jealous.

Meanwhile, Rhonda took a shower and changed into her new outfit. She stuffed the nightie into her bag, not figuring she would be coming back to the hotel for the night. She called for a cab and grabbed a quick dinner before going to the arena. She found her seat and got ready to see her man. She kept waiting but she realized his match would be last. When it finally came time and his music hit, she tried to catch his attention. She yelled for him but he didn't hear her. She was on her feet, so excited to watch him perform. On into the match, she was disappointed when she saw him get thrown over the top rope.

Then disaster struck. Big Show threw Dolph Ziggler on top of Stu and knocked him to the ground. She heard him scream and the referee threw up an 'X.' She had watched wrestling all her life and knew that meant someone was really hurt. She hoped that Stu was okay, because she couldn't tell who it was that was injured. She watched in horror as the doctors and medics were surrounding him. She felt tears come to her eyes as she saw him writhing in pain. It broke her heart that he was hurting and she couldn't help him. When he was able to leave the arena on his own power, she was finally able to breathe in relief.

She wanted so badly to go see if he was alright but she didn't want to seem like a crazy fan or cause problems for him by making a fool out of herself. She did decide to leave though and wait for the ambulance to take him to the hospital so she could follow.

Rhonda called a cab and knew the driver thought she was nuts for waiting around. "Look lady, I charge by the minute here."

"I know. I don't care. We have to wait until they leave so we can tail them."

"Are you crazy lady? I'm not helping you stalk someone am I?"

"No. And no, I'm not. Just shut up and do like I asked."

He shook his head and turned back around. He mumbled under his breath "why do I always get the crazy broads?"

"Hey, I heard that."

"Whatever."

When the ambulance left, the driver did as she requested and pursued them. When they arrived at the hospital, she got out and paid the driver. "Hey, no tip?"

"Yeah here's a tip. Learn to keep your mouth shut and not be an asshole and you will make tips."

She slammed the door and walked into the front entrance, ignoring the cabbie squealing tires as he spun out.

She went and sat in the lobby for a few minutes, waiting until they had time to get him checked out. She said a silent prayer that he was okay and wasn't hurt too badly. She knew he hurt his arm, but couldn't tell how bad it was.

After twenty minutes, she saw Alicia Fox come in and ask for him. She wondered why she was there wanting to see Stu. The clerk let her back and she decided that she would go see what was going on. She waited until the other clerk walked off before going to the front desk.

"Yes, I would like to see Stuart Bennett please."

"Okay ma'am, right through there. Looks like he is in ER 9."

"Okay, thank you." She went through the double doors and searched for his room. When she found him, he heard the two of them talking.

"What the bloody hell are you doing here Tori?"

"I came to make sure you are okay."

"And why would you care if I am okay or not? You should go."

"Stuie, don't be that way baby."

Rhonda mouthed to herself "Stuie?"

"You know I hate it when you call me that. Leave me alone. You gave up the right to care about me."

"Come on Stu. Stop acting like this."

Rhonda wanted to know what the hell was going on so she stepped in the doorway, "uh, hey."

A/N It turned out to be really long so I made it into two chapters. Enjoy! ~Dixie
