Chapter 45

The next morning we had to get up early and our day off was over again.

It was busy with the three guys and myself getting ready and packing everything.

Shortly after 8 we all sat in my rental car.

"Do you have everything? Your passport most importantly?" That was kind of a standard question. Because you could buy new clothes, but a missing passport was annoying.

"We do." They said. Joe was still very quiet and closed his eyes once we drove, Colby listened to his music and texted with Leighla and Jon sat beside me and used the quiet to talk to me.

"Are we going to talk to Mark today?" he asked and looked at me.

"I don't feel the need to. If he leaves me alone I am fine."

Jon was silent and I glanced over. "We should talk to him. I don't want you to change because he is a dick. No harm was done. We all have our moments at house shows."

My husband had the power to surprise me time and time again. I would have let the thing rest but he wanted to clear the coast. And he wanted Mark to back off.

"Well, then we do talk to Mark. But don't make a great deal about it." Jon grinned. I slapped him and he laughed. "I will behave."

We reached the airport and while Colby and Joe already walked to the terminal, Jon and I got rid of the rental. The parking lot was empty and I wanted to walk into the terminal but Jon grabbed me and pulled me close.

"Sam, I had a wonderful couple of days here, and I know the guys feel the same. Thank you again for showing me your beautiful home country."

"My pleasure. You don't know what it meant to me to have The Shield around one last time."

"I know what you mean." He kissed my nose. "I don't want to go in there. Can't we run away?" he asked and send me a hopeful smile. "I fear by tonight you would tell me that you miss wrestling." "True. But I hope it works out with our Christmas holiday."

If we had the chance, we would come back to Germany over the Christmas holidays. Jon would get his timetable in a couple of days and if it worked out, we would come back to truly spend some time here.

We walked into the terminal and found the rest of the WWE guys. You just had to follow the fans.

Jon signed a couple of autographs and posed for pictures. Some girls were so nervous that they forgot every word of English they ever learned at school and they started to talk in German to Jon. He understood a couple of things but he looked at me sometimes for help and I laughed and translated for him and the fans.

Once we were through the security checkpoint we went to find Mark.

"Hey Mark. Do you have a moment?" Jon asked and Mark walked with us to a quiet corner.

"We just wanted to make sure that things are cool between us. Because I don't appreciate it if you tell my wife she has to change her behavior at house shows when she is there on her private time. Believe me, we all sacrifice so much for this job, and she is allowed to be carefree every once in a while. It's a fucking house show. So chill."

Mark nodded and looked at me. "Do you want to add something?"

"No, I really don't understand why we even need to talk about this Mark. You know me by now and you now I follow the rules to the T. This is my home country, I was with a friend. I had fun. Can we let it rest at that?"

Mark pushed his hand through his hair. "I bet you have Roman and Seth lined up to talk to me as well when this is not working?"

"Oh, and some more people." Jon said and I shot him a look. He just grabbed my shoulder and pulled my close.

"Fine. I may have reacted a little poorly. No harm was done. And you are right, the crowd at house shows acts differently. But we need to push Roman right now. And we need to establish you and Seth as heels. It is a critical phase right now and you know that."

"I know and I promise you, I will produce some heat tonight. You will be proud."

"I can't wait to see that. Excuse me now."

Mark walked off and Jon and I shared a look. "We did this." I said and he grinned. "Yeah, we won this battle Mrs Good. Come on, let's find our friends."

That night Colby and Jon as well as Joe received the proper reactions from the fans. And my husband was booed out of the arena because of course he had delivered and produced heat throughout the match by attacking Joe with foreign objects when the ref didn't look. He was a pro through and through.

A/N: This is really just a filler chapter, it is not in the original story but some review mentioned they wanted to know how that thing with Mark played out. Well, now you know.

I really need your help with the next chapter. It will be a Christmas chapter and Sam seriously needs a present for Jon. Something small but sweet and fitting. Any ideas? Because I come up empty. And Jon of course has something special for her already! So any ideas? Please let me know. Thank you!
