p data-p-id="a71fd624e02e6a9e96991b2ff478252b"Kat had been sick ever since the party. I guess she caught a stomach bug there. It couldn't be the booze, because she'd barely had anything else. I think she was honestly too scared she'd get hungover again./p
p data-p-id="540c33bca062696bf1143964a29d3e44"I was trying to take care of her, like the good boyfriend I was supposed to be, but hell if I knew what to do. I tried to make her stay in bed, but she didn't exactly listen when we had work to do. I had Paul make soup, because I knew if Kat or I did, we'd burn the place down. She didn't eat it./p
p data-p-id="ad6fa3248264b6fccb788db1945b01e5"She insisted that she was fine. I wasn't so sure./p
p data-p-id="b4ed74a3fb2554d0a84bdfbc9cf912f5"We finally got a short weekend off, so I invited Kat to come with me to my place in San Antonio with me. Paul was of course invited too, but he said he had other plans./p
p data-p-id="0bfa522fba0ed269898c7e2054260472"That fucker didn't have other plans. He never had plans. He just wanted to set us up, I swear. Every damn time./p
p data-p-id="32f1fe32c710c23af2b614f9a88e9821"The plane ride wasn't too bad. Luckily I slept through it. I don't know if Kat did or not. Hopefully she got at least some sleep./p
p data-p-id="b587a3bc8b54aa7fbe2151436d76c0b3"My place wasn't the biggest, but it wasn't bad. I was nearly never home because of our crazy fucking schedule./p
p data-p-id="c77bd471ceb4425e5424c23aca5b8f1a""So, this is home," she said, taking it in. She set down her suitcase by the entrance as she walked further into the living room./p
p data-p-id="9213de6775d6a1f22852b7f01b973c4d""This is it," I replied./p
p data-p-id="8e1897f1fd1d1256e35605f961e0babc"She turned back to me with a smile. "I like it."/p
p data-p-id="0be5f5733377308e25e1604304903c2b"I had to laugh. "You haven't even seen the rest of it."/p
p data-p-id="52a3abeeda52ddfbdc26d3fce3a0f576""I can't like it anyway?" she asked. Now she was joking./p
p data-p-id="d39451d6bc5bc4e2c502900478b7cb6c"I shook my head. "C'mon, let me give you the grand tour."/p
p data-p-id="01da7eac6aca4ba2bf399019be20eedb"I showed her around the house, which didn't take too long. She clung to every word I said, even though most of it was just me bullshitting./p
p data-p-id="4b1240554903dee637b67129e3dec26d""So here's my bedroom," I told her, opening the door. "I don't know how comfy the bed is, but I'm sure you'll be fine for one night. You don't really seem to have problems falling asleep anymore. Not since you got over sleeping in the car." I was just rambling, really. Talking about nothing. The guys were really right whenever they said I liked to hear myself talk. I just didn't like the silence./p
p data-p-id="f67403f2dca39627a7fa8880cb69e212"She made a sound like, "Mhm," as if she was thinking. Then she turned to me with this mischievous little grin on her face. "We could always test it out," she teased./p
p data-p-id="df22c6d530d753d82d8b0120fcf869aa"I chuckled and threw my arms over her shoulders, nuzzling into her shoulder. "You're my favorite." She was slowly becoming more like me. It was kinda scary./p
p data-p-id="7ad8f7c2579c1d971c42377481107f63""I know," she replied triumphantly./p
p data-p-id="b92081205332791f2f9f418ab2b31a7d""Y'know, if you like the house that much, it can be yours too," I explained./p
p data-p-id="3b181321a2f67c0a5fe8d498aa3e87ea""Are you asking me to move in?"/p
p data-p-id="bb531e79dc93bca85c31935605392cc5""I mean, yeah. It's gotta be better than having to go to your parents' house all the time," I tried to persuade her./p
p data-p-id="a3098ffbdedfa937f13be8e6780cb432"She brightened up. "Of course. I can bring my stuff back next time."/p
p data-p-id="3cd8ad49d9dfb6520378a98539b48c44"I smiled. My girl was going to live with me. Not that I didn't see her happy face everyday anyway, but it was nice to have it be official./p
p data-p-id="f1fbc859dd7019dfd9eee8f2e0e60a40"I walked back to the living room and collapsed onto the couch, pulling her down with me. I sighed, letting myself relax./p
p data-p-id="fa0f72fa99db554e220ce613363ab704""What do you want to do?" Kat asked, starting to play with my hair. I loved when she did that./p
p data-p-id="57f358b88f45c878ee667af8a20fd6a5""I was thinking of taking a nap," I admitted. There were plenty of things we could have been doing, but I felt a little rest and relaxation was what we needed./p
p data-p-id="fa7d09c3d01655c15822cd8e7d884a9d""Hmm... I've heard of those. They're supposed to be pretty refreshing," she joked. She was twisting a piece of my hair around in a braid./p
p data-p-id="9202c20ab45e3c8f58ce119f204eee50"She was talking about how hard we worked all the time. We barely had time to sit down, let alone take naps./p
p data-p-id="0b465f02fd084f42aed35ea9b86a3aed"I laid a trail of kisses down her neck, starting at her chin and ending above her breasts. I knew I was supposed to be paying attention to her, but I was distracted by her body. She was so irresistible to me./p
p data-p-id="bfc744ffaf86c16fa164086b0100c13e""You know it's not really a day off, right?" she whispered. "We have a meet and greet at seven, and then tomorrow we have a live event here in San Antonio."/p
p data-p-id="862bd1fc23e7c668d8353d725d8e16fa""Mhm," I muttered against her skin./p
p data-p-id="880a6893db1a1f8fc6e78311c1b70a6a""Are you even listening to me?"/p
p data-p-id="aedb8a028051cfa90d763b34081d9c41""Mhm."/p
p data-p-id="ab732b4cceb919a3bf2b857439930d47"I heard her sigh, and that's when I knew I messed up. "I'm trying to sound business-like, and you're not even paying attention," she commented./p
p data-p-id="249dc3783054cf919acad04ae72d9709"I pulled myself up and looked her in the eyes. "You're always trying to be business-like."/p
p data-p-id="8db19280c4ffdd1676f01f71b9a037f9""Well I am basically your secretary. Apparently that's all I'm ever going to be," she huffed./p
p data-p-id="8f4c48b71f2f80f31f552d7b56eb1b8a"Okay, this was deeper than me just not paying attention. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to get her to explain./p
p data-p-id="89c5a9fb4fef94f94db9aa51213fd020""I just-I don't know. Nevermind."/p
p data-p-id="f37bd18fa19946627f3ae2ed6244ed62""You can't just say something like that and then say 'nevermind'. What's up, babe?"/p
p data-p-id="6ed13f0872768c7f3aec0675a1ed6e0a"She just sighed again. "I'm not going to wrestle. It's not going to happen." She sounded so defeated./p
p data-p-id="a43e1c8edec7fe2b764919da47bee1f7""Why not? You've been working out a with Paul, I've been showing you some moves. You'll be put there in no time," I assured her./p
p data-p-id="ab8fc3ff72c360b3e0625ab5db9bfff9"She shook her head. "Dad will never let it happen."/p
p data-p-id="6326fb5b4e1ff01ad9f297f617249d63""So it won't happen in your Dad's company. There's plenty of places you could go. We could go join WCW with Scott and Kev." I was trying pretty hard./p
p data-p-id="63e2c082abfdf0f576d07a7cdf138373""For one thing, they're having a hell of a time down there with Eric. And for another, I could never..."/p
p data-p-id="db0ba146bddf6f4bf6f8f15fee3c2387"She didn't need to complete it. I knew. For her to go to WCW would be the biggest possible stab in the back to her family. Even when she was totally pissed at them, she could never do that./p
p data-p-id="dc2c96503c4ba077812eb6fd2453d87e""We'll figure it out," I told her./p
p data-p-id="061412a26ffb45ca5a17a9bf664087f0"She hesitated. "I hope so."/p
p data-p-id="e1898bd47af7e338f78962bbe6e2d1f5"I struggled to find something to change the subject. I wanted to brighten her spirits./p
p data-p-id="f22afb91d27096175dbbf9abf4d30a3b""So, say we had a kid. What would you want to name it? Because I was talking to Paul and he betted me you would choose something super pretentious." I was pulling a topic of conversation out of my ass, and I'm pretty sure she knew it, but she went with it anyway./p
p data-p-id="dfdffee8a9c6074f5b148c78fc6a2c6a""Oh, did he? Well, I've always wanted a little boy named Wesley Alexander." She had the worst damn poker face. I could read her like a book. She was joking along now./p
p data-p-id="a4d21ce3a67ac9b93dd4387797cdb506""Oh my god, that's horrible. Would Wes go to a private school and run around with his little wimpy friends?"/p
p data-p-id="8b157c1c8e30e166737a64db1273678d"She giggled, exactly what I was aiming for. "What's wrong with Wesley?"/p
p data-p-id="62e5449b010bc4e18a41f60f021432f8""You know exactly what's wrong with Wesley. Probably mental trauma from all the bullying he'd have to go through."/p
p data-p-id="10629122873833eaf1fe45296fb7baf4""Fine. What would you name your son?" she asked, a smile still playing on her lips./p
p data-p-id="72eb9e44f14e70eefeeb18a3e499ab5f""I don't know, something normal. Like Cameron or Kyle or some shit," I replied./p
p data-p-id="061cb029acd6297f455cecbe3c572d3f""I still like Wesley."/p
p data-p-id="f8d51aabf6eed885fc372381225055b9""Oh, you would. We can never have kids. Sorry, Katherine, but I think it's time we break up." I acted heartbroken and dramatic./p
p data-p-id="5277f049c5631ffaf479fadc457a7a8d"She shoved my chest playfully, rolling her eyes. "Shut up."/p
p data-p-id="40868660634678a31d1f793455046c97""Make me," I retorted. My eyes flickered to her lips just as they came to meet mine./p
p data-p-id="fc810b173a4c71a6b9a3d79ca70dfd34"I kissed her back, harder. She didn't seem to mind. One of my hands slipped beneath her shirt and slid its way up her chest./p
p data-p-id="74fc511eaf66bc0fd0c2f9e79b556f0f"She gasped and pulled away. I didn't let her go far. "I thought you were going to take a nap?" she teased./p
p data-p-id="3b86cde37506b556146ab13da7ff064f"I pulled off her shirt, then my own. "Changed my mind."/p
p data-p-id="8a7ab20ec0ab3262ce329c7dcb399a4e"***/p
p data-p-id="807bf2e22465a22cb2112d40f8fb0c9d"We met up with Paul before the fan thing. I knew we'd only been away from him for maybe half a day, but it always felt weird when Paul wasn't around. He was my road wife, after all./p
p data-p-id="2567ebce61cc93581f07e4729b4ec3a3""What's got the two of you so worked up?" he asked. "Did you fuck at the house or what?" He laughed./p
p data-p-id="274accfa3be3699a81c574630a4e5b3c"He'd meant it as a joke, but he couldn't have been more right. The thought brought a smirk to my lips./p
p data-p-id="841d771e089e56e1e37a092f4d876a93"I patted him on the shoulder with my free hand. "More than once, brother. Several times, actually."/p
p data-p-id="3e92e369966a3e137a1c6233334e98a3"I felt Kat jab me in the side with her elbow. I looked down at her to see her face flooding with heat./p
p data-p-id="1a306ad6b16573fcdea24e473992901a"Paul was equally not enjoying the subject, so of course, I decided to be an ass and keep going./p
p data-p-id="849370884058695e69d167a149cc6204""Kat here is actually a champion cock-sucker. You wouldn't think someone so young and inexperienced would be so good at it, but-"/p
p data-p-id="10b67675382e75a5b40c9a0cc387409f""Shut emup/em, Shawn."/p
p data-p-id="e94ed5dec6aec4dc12af397501155582""Oh, and-"/p
p data-p-id="e6449e8407d719a60ade0b466ab78d54""You know, Shawn, I really emdon't/em want to hear about your great sex adventures together," Paul told me. "Fascinating as they may be, I'm not interested."/p
p data-p-id="1e5dee1fc0a612d980b94353d485fbbd""But you haven't even heard the best part!"/p
p data-p-id="1377bc307f8103cabbe4c787a475b52a""I don't want to. I think I'll live," he assured me./p
p data-p-id="dedde307d6db69c77a4a84bb265d13f1""emShawn/em," Kat added, a warning tone in her voice./p
p data-p-id="7d931b4d0b7471e661d8195e070b08d7""Okay, fine," I surrendered my hands in defeat./p
p data-p-id="f285302b57d4ff98e30f2569ff7b67b1"Kat just rolled her eyes at my antics. She was the best, even when she was totally fucking annoyed at me./p
