A/N- So this only took forever, I'm sorry. I just got my laptop back today, and everything has been erased, so I am starting over from scratch. Updates should be regular again. Enjoy!


Online Friends, Offline Enemies

KingOfYourWorld: I think we should meet.

Caylin stared at that message for a good fifteen minutes, without typing anything back in reply. This was not part of their relationship. They were never supposed to meet each other. For over a year, they just talked. Meeting each other was never brought up. What made him change his mind? Part of her wanted to meet him, but the other part of her didn't. What if they didn't like each other in person? Who else would she rant to about her life? All these questions and more were swimming around her mind. What would she say to him? He had to answer him.

"Caylin, I'm going for food, do you..."

"I thought I told you not to talk to me?" Caylin glanced at Chris, who was positioned on the other bed.

"Are you still not over that, yet? It's been over an hour now."

"Chris, just go. I don't want anything, and I don't want to talk to you." Frustration was obvious by her tone. She knew if he didn't leave for a while, she'd say something she'd end up regretting.

"I don't understand what the big deal is!" Chris, himself, was becoming frustrated. He kissed her, so what?

Caylin knew the answer to that, she just didn't want to admit it. Chris had stirred up feelings in her recently that she didn't know she possessed, and that kiss just put it over the top. Her suspicions were confirmed: she was in heavy like with the man standing before her. He still irritated the hell out of her, and annoyed her to no end, but then there was that other side to him. The sweet, caring, compassionate side. It was rare, but it was there. He could also make her laugh like no one else could. The only other guy who could do that was her friend online.....

Who she still never answered yet.

"You kissed me! We weren't in the ring! We weren't practicing! You did it on purpose!"

"Any other facts you'd like throw out there?" Sarcastic bastard.

"I despise you."

"Grow up Caylin, it was just a damn kiss. We've done it before!"

"AT WORK! This isn't work."

"Just forget about it. I'll be back later." Chris grabbed his wallet and left, making sure to slam the door on his way out. Her mind immediately went back to the scene that she has already played in her head a hundred times.

"I love this kiss shirt, you'll be lucky if you get it back. Where di.." Her words were going in one ear and out the other. Something was happening to him right now, right there, with her. So he did the only thing he could think of. He turned and pulled her towards him, effectively shutting her up.

Then he kissed her.

Caylin gasped, not expecting that to happen. Slowly, her hands loosened up on the grip she had on her KISS shirt, and eventually moved to wrap around his neck. His lips were surprisingly soft. She never noticed that the other times she had to kiss him. This was different though, this wasn't because she had to, it was because she wanted to. But he didn't know that. She felt him seeking entrance to her mouth, and for a few seconds, she granted him permission. It didn't take long for her mind to return. Pulling back, she looked at him.

"You are such as asshole." She shoved his chest again, but it did nothing to him. He was still starring at her with surprise. She kissed him back.

"Wait, I can explain. Jus.."

"I don't want to hear it. I don't want to talk to you."

"Caylin..." Chris gently grabbed her arm before she could pass him.

"No! Do not talk to me, Chris. You are such a dick." He wasn't really sure what he had done. She was just as into that kiss as he was.

"Come on, calm down."

"What part of do not talk to me do you not understand? I don't want to see you right now, let alone talk to you. Leave me alone!" She shoved him one more time, then went into the bathroom.

Caylin came out of the bathroom a good fifteen minutes later. She still didn't say anything to him, who was currently on the computer. The only thing she was grateful for was that had seemed to make himself comfortable on the other bed. Good, she wasn't sleeping with him tonight. She decided to check her email to take her mind off things. Her friend messaged her before she had a chance.

KingOfYourWorld: Hey
CanYouSayCay: Hey? You never start with hey!
KingOfYourWorld: I'm in a 'hey' mood tonight.
CanYouSayCay: Something wrong?
KingOfYourWorld: Not really. My joyous roomy is pissed at me.
CanYouSayCay: Well what the hell did you do?
KingOfYourWorld: Nothing too bad. She'll get over it eventually. How are you?
CanYouSayCay: Peachy. Tell me something I don't know about you, again.
KingOfYourWorld: Why?
CanYouSayCay: I find you interesting. Plus you know everything about me.
KingOfYourWorld: Fine. I love to sing obnoxiously around other people when they are sleeping. It's a great/effective way to wake them up.
CanYouSayCay: Ha, I have a friend who loves to do that. It must be a guy thing.
KingOfYourWorld: Can I tell you something else?
CanYouSayCay: Sure, what?
KingOfYourWorld: I think we should we should meet.

Caylin broke out of her thoughts when she heard her hotel room door slam again. Great, he was back. He had a bag with him that had Chinese symbols on it. He must have bought Chinese food. She watched as he sat at the small table and unloaded the food contents. He ate without saying a word to her, something she didn't think was possible. He stood up and threw his things away when he finished. She eyed him up when he grabbed a light sweatshirt and headed for the door. Where the hell was he going?

"Chris?" Her voice stopped him before he left. He didn't want to, but he couldn't help. She had power over him. He only hoped she never realized it.

"What?"

"Where are you going?" He could hear the concern in her voice. At least, he thought it was concern. He didn't know, she was too confusing.

"Out."

"With who?" He wanted to turn around and tell her it was none of her business. He wanted to tell her he'd go wherever he wanted with whoever he wanted. He wanted to, he really did.

"Cody and Jay." He really did. He just couldn't. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She was afraid it'd be a girl's name that left his lips.

"Oh, okay. Are you coming back tonight?" Why did she do this to him? Twenty minutes ago she was screaming at him!

"I don't know. I bought you some chicken fried rice, it's on the table. Eat it." He didn't let her reply before leaving. He needed out of there.

Caylin sighed when the door shut. Damn him! He left her alone! She'd call Mickie, but she went home for two days, and Beth was out with Maria. She would have made plans, but she wasn't counting on Chris pissing her off. Now what was she supposed to do?

She'd start by eating fried rice.


"What took you so long to do it?" Jay asked, nursing his sixth beer.

"That's all you have to say? I just poured my heart out to you two assclowns, and that is the response I get?" Chris was drunk. There was no other way of putting it. He was loaded, and when he is loaded, he talks, and talks, and talks. It's not his usual insults, which usually comes out of his mouth, it's what he is feeling. He doesn't care who is listening.

"Come on Chris, everyone knows you like her. It's really obvious. Ted had a bet going on backstage, but it didn't last long. The Divas found out about it and made us stop." Cody admitted.

"I haven't even liked her that long. A day at the most."

"Chris, I knew you liked her the first day you introduced her to me. You were so jealous she liked me." Jay remembered the looks his friend gave him that day.

"I was not jealous. I was appalled. She was in the presence of a God, yet she was only excited because you were around."

"That's jealousy, man." Cody informed him.

"So what? I'm over it. Now, Cody, help me back to my room." Chris was laughing hysterically because he couldn't walk.

It only took ten minutes of Chris stumbling and Cody catching him, to reach his room. Chris found it hard to believe that it took that long to get to floor four from the hotel bar.

"You sure you can make it inside alright?" Cody asked, concerned for his friend.

"Let me give you a life lesson....sometimes there is alcohol, other times there is lemonade. You only get lemonade if life gives you lemons. Do you happen to have lemons with you, Cody? I could go for some lemonade." Chris rambled.

"No, no I don't. If you need anything, call me. I'm three doors down." Cody helped him unlock the door, then left the older man to himself.

Chris got three steps him and stumbled, falling against the wall. It took a few tries, but he made it to the bed. He sat down and realized it was Caylin's bed. Caylin was mad at him! But there was no way he could walk two feet to the other bed. It was way too far.

"You smell like beer." Caylin rolled to her other side, trying to avoid the stench.

"You smell like....Caylin."

"That better be a compliment."

"Trust me, it is."

"If you puke on me tonight so help me I will murder you." She threatened.

"How come you don't have a boyfriend?"

"I haven't found a guy who keeps my interest yet, at least in person."

"What's that mean?" He had his eyes closed, but he wasn't even close to sleeping.

"What do you think of meeting someone in person that you met online?" Caylin asked, wanting his opinion for some reason.

"Depends. Did you meet someone?"

"Sort of. They want to meet, but I don't know."

"You don't trust them?"

"No, I trust him. I've talked to him for over a year now, and now he wants to meet."

"So meet him."

"What if he isn't who I imagine him to be?"

"Then move on. Get over it. Life goes on." Caylin didn't respond to him right away. It was a while before the silence was broke.

"Do you think it's possible to love someone you've never met?" She didn't why she was asking him questions, he was drunk. He had no idea what he was talking about.

"You talked to the guy, so you have a connection with him. I think it is very possible." She was starting to like drunk Chris more than sober Chris.

"What about loving two men at the same time?"

"You don't love Jay, Caylin. You haven't even known him that long." Caylin frowned, but it was too dark for Chris to notice, even if his eyes were open. There was a soft snore coming from him when she responded.

"I didn't mean Jay." Sliding out of bed, Caylin grabbed her computer.

CanYouSayCay: Lets meet.
