Lucy leant back against Mark as he washed her back gently. It had been a rough night for them both and too many aches and pains. When Lucy got in from the pharmacy she found candles leading up the stairs and into the bathroom, where Mark was sat waiting. He was too good for her, she knew it. Lucy took Marks hand and examined it against hers, smiling.
"You really are a giant" She said giggling.
"Girlie you've seen me as a giant in so many different ways" Mark replied by pacing a kiss onto her neck. How he managed to get Eddie to take Toby out for a while was unexplainable, Eddie complained he was busy all the time. Mark wasn't happy with the storylines going on at the WWE, he knew what they were planning on doing to Lucy and he didn't like it, at all. Her with Glen had only just been bareable but what was coming..And he couldn't do anything about it from another roster.
"Baby Dave's gonna look after ya for me while I'm away" He said, rubbing her stomach gently. She nodded and relaxed against him, he wanted to spend the few moments he had here with her.
That morning Lucy was exhausted but still made the effort to go get Mark some coffee and toast before he had to go. She recollected the memory of him and her last night, it was definately one to remember she wasn't sure if she was walking differently this morning but she bet she would be from the many many ways of the man behind the Undertaker. She slipped on a purple satin nightrobe and walked down stairs into the kitchen, taking a quick glance up at the time. 7:00 Mark's plane left in an hour, Smackdown had to start the tour early whereas Raw didn't start for a few days. She was about to head back upstairs when she felt his hands run over her arms, while he kissed he neck.
"Good morning Gonzalez" She said with a smile
"That wasn't what you were calling me last night girlie" He said taking the coffee off her and setting down on a chair.
"I was calling you many things last night including a dickhead but who's counting?" She asked taking a sip, leaning against the worktop, he smiled and looked at her, she didn't look away from his eye contact no more. After talking for a while Mark packed his stuff together and met Lucy by his car.
"I'm gonna miss you" She said honestly hugging him.
"I'd miss me too girl" He said and chuckled when she gave him an annoyed stare. "I'm being honest"
"Yeah your ego is big enough don't make me puncture it" She warned, making him laugh once more. He placed his bags into the backseat of the car and his keys on the hood then picked her up in his arms. "But ya know what I'm gonna miss more?" He asked.
"What's that then?" She asked smiling, holding onto his shoulders.
"My bikes your gonna keep an eye on them for me right?" He asked, laughing hard now at her stern expression.
"Forget it" She said in surrender, wiggling in his arms to get down.
"I'm kidding, I'm gonna miss ya too" He said giving her a gentle peck. "Did I upset ya baby? I'm sorry"
She took the upset expression of her face then leant up placing her lips onto his, he held her close as the kissing got rougher. At this rate he really didn't wanna go at all.
"I'm gonna miss this that's for sure" He said kissing her once more then put her down. She sighed and took his hand.
"Your gonna call me right?" She asked hopefully, she didn't want to seem to needy but that was what she was, she needed him more than anything. Mark pulled her to him once more and smiled looking down on her.
"Baby I'm gonna call you every night don't worry" He said before getting into the car then rolled down the window, Lucy leant in and kissed his cheek, smiling before watching the car pull out. These were gonna be some tough weeks without him.
Later that day Kevin dropped by with Scott, Kevin, Paul and Glen. Since Toby was away with Eddie for a while they all wanted to go out but she wasn't totally sure.
"Come Lucy it will be fun" Paul said giving her puppy eyes.
"Yeah don't be a spoil sport" Scott said poking her, Lucy pushed him so Scott hit her around the head with a couch cushion. Lucy growled when Kevin held them apart.
"Now, now children" Kevin said then let go of his hold on Lucy. "Lucy it's 8pm you have done absolutely nothing all day but clean clean fix fix so now we are taking you out" Scott stepped forward rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeah and if you don't I'll get Glen here to swat you" Scott cautioned.
Lucy and Glen both blushed while Scott laughed. Kevin gave Lucy a gentle push towards the stairs while Glen tried to amuse himself with the devistatingly interesting carpet.
"Go get changed, we'll meet ya in a few" Scott said waving.
Lucy looked through her closet, she hated picking clothes out of occassion. After a warm shower she decided on her red dress which was niether formal nor casual, just about right. She heard the car horn beep loudly for the 4th time after she had finished the final touches to her outfit. She ran downstairs, being careful not to trip in her heels and locked the door. She could just make out the black car against the nightsky and ran over, climbing in. The only spare seat was next to Glen, great!
Scott and Paul wolfwhistled as she got in, accidently flashing some thigh.
"You look very f-" Scott's mouth was covered by Kevin before getting whacked by Paul.
"You look very pretty sweet" Glen said, making Lucy blush. He hadn't called her sweet in such a long time. He looked so good himself, as always he wore his lovely dress shirts this time it was black. His hair ended just touching his shoulders and those tight jeans made Lucy almost afraid to look down.
"Are we all ready? In that case seatbelts on.." Kevin announced in a deep commentry voice "Scott hands inside the vehicle at all times and I mean all times"
Lucy gave a laugh and they took off to the club.
Club Lava was the newest found club in Texas currently, loads of people were going in and out. Yet Kevin said he had picked a "quiet" night for clubbing.
"First rounds on Scott by the way" Paul said, Scott stood there glaring at Paul before storming off to the bar.
"Hey Scott do you know what we want?" Kevin asked following him.
They all sat there for most of the night talking and telling funny stories. Paul sat down from calling Steph and sighed.
"Aren't you meant to be bumping and grinding on the dancefloor Luce?" Kevin asked
"Yeah if you need a partner I'll be very happy to offer myself" Scott mentioned
"No I'm fine thanks" Lucy said smiling. A slower song turned on and Lucy watched as people formed onto the dancefloor. The song was so familar, it was their song. It had to come on now didn't it? Glen looked at Lucy, he knew it too. Glen got up and walked around the table offering a hand to Lucy.
"Want to dance beautiful?" He asked.
Lucy didn't need words for an answer, she took his hand and led him to the dancefloor.
I thought I felt you touch my cheek this morning
But I must've been dreaming
And in the middle of the night without a warning
I thought I heard you breathing
Me and my so-called independence
I've got this loneliness that's so relentless
Lucy felt him put his hands on her waist, bringing them closer. Whenever they were apart he would tell her to listen to the song, because it was the way he felt when they were apart. She wondered if he still felt like that. "Well this is weird" Lucy said trying to be humourous about the situation.
"I know" Glen responded, he wanted nothing more to capture those lips and claim them as his own.
I guess you get used to somebody
Kinda like having them around
I guess you get used to the way they make you happy
Bring you up when you're feeling down
I never dreamed when I was letting you go that
I would wake up and miss you this much
I guess you get used to somebody, I guess you get used to being loved
Everyday for the first few weeks one way or another, he would listen to the song. It reminded him of the happy times he shared with her. He just wished he could add a few more happy times to his mind with someone he loved.
I kinda miss those rambling conversations
Where we'd talk about nothing
The way you always made me laugh at my frustrations
Baby that was something
I should've been careful what I wished for
'Cause I've got my freedom and so much more
I guess you get used to somebody
Kinda like having them around
I guess you get used to the way they make you happy
Bring you up when you're feeling down
I never dreamed when I was letting you go that
I would wake up and miss you this much
I guess you get used to somebody, I guess you get used to being loved
"I miss you" Glen said quietly.
Lucy pretended she didn't hear the comment he made. She honestly missed being with him and spending time with him but she was with Mark and no-one else. She didn't want to ruin their friendship because thats what they were just friends.
I never dreamed when I was letting you go that
I would wake up and miss you this much
I guess you get used to somebody
I guess you get used to being loved
I guess you get used to somebody
I guess you get used to being loved
Your gonna walk away and not look at him, because it's the best way. She reminded herself. That was her plan as the song finished.
"I'm glad we're friends Glen" She said not looking at his eyes because she didn't want to see his hurt or for him to see the truth in her eyes. The rest of the night went ok apart from the slightly akward moments between Lucy and Glen.
Mark glanced at the clock and smiled, he wondered what devious plan Scott made Lucy do today. He missed that girl so much, it scared him. He was worried the whole Sara incident would go again, he didn't like commitments. The door opened and Dave came in with his bags and chucked them onto his bed. He looked at Mark and gave a laugh, shaking his head. What the hell was Dave laughing at? Mark frowned and looked at him.
"What's so funny?" He asked raising an eyebrow
"You. This time last year you were a grumpy ass and now look your actually smiling" Dave said laughing while taking some clothes out of his suitcase. "Still an ass though" He muttered.
"I should get you for that one Dave" Mark warned.
"Yeah you can later" Dave said going into the bathroom.
Mark grunted and looked around at the hotel room, a package came flying at him from the bathroom. He caught it and examined it.
"Lucy gave me strict orders to deliver that to you" Dave yelled from the bathroom. "And you have to wear it for your matches. You need help with those knees"
Mark took out the knee casts and sighed, that girl knew him way too well. He took the hotel phone and wondered if it was too late to ring Lucy.
"Hello?" Was the yawny response he got from the other line.
"Hey baby" He said with a smile "I ain't woke ya have I?" He asked worried, propping himself against the headboard.
"Nah" She replied, she was getting into bed but hearing Mark's voice was so much better than sleep itself. "Did you like my present?"
"Yeah, thanks" He grunted
"Good, are you eternally grateful?" She asked smiling lying on her stomach.
Mark heard scrambling on the other end, he knew she was playing with the phone cord as always.
"Girlie I'm more grateful about talkin to you" He said honestly.
They shared funny stories about their day and listened intently to each others.
"Aw I miss you Mark"
"I miss ya too Lucy" He said without teasing her for once.
Lucy smiled and sighed happily but then groaned.
"I'm going to be longing for you until like Backlash"
"In what way?" Mark asked with a curious smirk. Lucy couldn't help but laugh, either Mark was horny or he was a dirty perve. She figured both.
"Every way Gonzalez"
Dave came back from getting changed and lay down on his bed, putting his hands behind his head, half mindedly listening to Mark's conversation.
"Baby I want you" Lucy said, sighing
"Girlie ya don't wanna know what I'd do to you if you were here right now" Mark said with a growl.
"Oh c'mon man no phone sex please" Dave said cringing.
"Fuck" Mark cussed remembering Dave was there. "Baby I'll ring you tomorrow"
"Ok Gonzalez, maybe tomorrow you'll get lucky" She said giggling "Say hi to Dave for me"
"I will"
"Bye Mark" She said a little saddened of the thought of not hearing him again until tomorrow.
"Bye Lucy, take care" He said.
When Mark was off the phone Dave was smiling again. Mark shook his head. "What this time?" he asked.
"You've got it bad" He said simply shrugging. Mark smiled "Maybe I do, maybe I don't" He said lying down, turning the light off.
"Mark it's been months now, when are you gonna marry her?" Dave asked. Mark froze, he knew that question would come up but the thought scared the hell outta him. Lucy wasn't the girl to put up with just sex but he didn't feel that at this point he needed anything else.
"Goodnight Dave" Mark said ignoring him
