After the honeymoon, Mark and I had a good relationship for five years. Then, everything went wrong. Vince had split us up as a team. I turned on him in the ring and was to become Kane's lover again.
After shooting a promo with Glen, Mark grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into his dressing room.
"What is your problem, Mark?"
"You were a little too close to Glen. After he 'hit' on you while we were dating, I don't want you near him."
"Well you had better deal with the storyline or deal with Vince. Remember, I'm not the writer, I'm the actress."
"Yeah, well you were a bit too cozy in Glen's arms, out there."
"Look, we've made our peace since he married Sharon. And, what he did to me wasn't as bad as you having Stacy show a video of us screwing or having Gangrel give me a concussion."
"I thought you forgave me for that," he growled.
"Yeah, I forgave you, but I will never forget."
And that was one of our milder fights. He talked Vince into letting me go solo.
He went home with a torn hamstring after a Raw show a few months later. Vince said he wanted me to stay on the road to start a fued with Molly Holly. After the Smackdown taping, two weeks later, Vince told me to go home.
"The house shows can wait until your ol' man is back on his feet."
"Thanks, Vince. I'll nurse him back to health," I told him with a smile in place. We might not have been getting along very well, but I still loved him and hated seeing him in pain.
Once i got to the house, I crept inside, in case he was asleep. He wasn't in his recliner, his favorite place to nap. I went up stairs to see if he was in bed. I heard noises coming from the bedroom. I figured he was watching a movie.
When I opened the door, I found Mark in bed with my friend, Lady Cat.
"I see you don't need my help getting better. I'll be at my old house, when you want to talk."
As I waked down the hall, I heard her ask him," I thought you said it was over between you two?"
I was glad then, that I had kept the house to rent. I was also glad the new tenants were good friends.
I knocked on the door and Missy answered soon after. "Hey, Missy. Can I stay here with you and Sandra tonight?"
"What's wrong, Jade?"
"It's a long story."
"Well, come in, have a seat and tell me about it."
"Do you have a beer?"
"Yeah, just a sec."
She came back moments later with a Budweiser. "Now, what happened between you and Mark?"
"It's over between us." I went on to tell her about the fights and finding him with Lady Cat.
"I didn't think she would do something like that," Missy said, shocked.
"I heard her say that he told her it was over. It doesn't matter, though. I wish them luck if they continue to see each other. I just wish it hadn't ended this way."
She hugged me. "There are more men out there. Look at all those men you work with!"
"I know. As the song goes, 'I will survive'. "
The phone rang and Missy answered. "Jade, it's Mark."
I took the phone. "Hello."
"I'm sorry about that."
"Don't be. If anyone loves you more than I did, it's her. Is Lady cat still there?"
"Yes, she is. Do you want to talk to her?"
"Yeah."
"Hold on."
"Hello?"
"Hey, Cat. Take care of him."
"You're not upset about this?"
"Yeah, but it would have happened anyways. I'm just glad he chose you. Still friends?"
"Sure. This is kinda weird though."
I laughed. "Yeah, well let me get things straightened with Mark. We can talk more later."

chapter 2
A year later:
The divorce ended quickly, each only taking our own things. I bought the house next door to Sandra and Missy. I hadn't started dating yet. Being on the road usually kept me from it. I was content just going out with the girls on the weekends.
Joanie and "Trip" had split up again. She was sharing the house with me, as was Nikole. "Trip" was dating a woman named Bonnie. They seemed pretty serious.
Everybody was coming to Houston for a show. Most of the guys were bringing their wives or girlfriends with them. Billy and Andrew were going to stay with us, since they were single. Andrew and I had become good friends since the divorce. Most people thought we were lovers.

chapter 3
Present:
Joanie, Nikole and I are standing in the airport, waiting for Andrew and Billy's plane to land. When, they came off the plane, Billy hugged us. Andrew hugged Joanie and shook Nikole's hand. He came over to me and picked me up.
"Andrew, what are you doing?"
"Take me to your bed," he said in an alien like voice.
"I don't feel like taking a Test right now," I said laughing.
He put me down and tilted me backwards, like in a cheesey romance movie. "I thought you always wanted me."
After I stopped laughing, I told him," let's get your bags."
After we got to the house and got them settled in, we tried to think of something to do for the night.
"You pay for dinner and I'll pay for drinks," Andrew offered.
"Ok, what is everyone hungry for?"
Everyone yelled out different types of food. Joanie called Eddie and asked if he wanted to join us. We picked him up, then tried asking again. We wound up at Jillian's. After we ate, we split into three groups and went to play games. Joanie and Eddie played the simulated Nascar races. Billy and Nikole played the dirt bike races. Andrew and I played the Harley simulators.
We joined back up, then went upstairs. We played a few frames of bowling, then pool. After that, we all went into the club. The first thing we all noticed was Lady B and Adam "dirty dancing". At a nearby table was Sandra, Jay, Missy, and "Skittles".
We all ordered a shot of Jack to start things off. Andrew made a toast.
"To a great show tomorrow night."
"And, may Niki get straight A's," Billy added.
We drank our shot and ordered mixed drinks. We took a table next to the others. Billy and Nikole went out to the dance floor. I went over to say hi to Missy and Sandra.
"What's up, ladies?"
"Hey, Jade. Not alot," Sandra answered.
"I saw you come in with Test. Does this mean you're dating again," Missy asked.
"Andrew!? No, we're out as friends tonight. He is hotter than Hell though. We'll see what happens."
"It's about time! It's been a year, girl," Sandra said.
"Please, don't bring up Mark. Tonight, I want to forget about the past, and not think about the future."
I looked over to where Lady B and Adam were dancing, and saw them walking toward the bathroom. They looked around, as if to see if anyone was watching, then went in to the men's room together.
"Looks like B's getting her groove on," I said. The girls laughed.
Andrew came up behind me, and grabbed my hips. "Come on, Jade. I want to try some of those moves B and Adam were doing."
That got oohs out of the group. I followed him to the floor. He was true to his word. It got very hot in there.
Andrew kept buying drinks and putting them in front of me. If he wasn't telling me to drink, we were dancing. From 8 to 1 o'clock, I had 10 pina coladas, 2 Jack and cokes, and one margrita. I was pretty well lit.

chapter 4
We had decided to call it a night, since we had a show that night. As we were walking out, Mark and Lady Cat were coming in.
"Hey, Cat! Hey, Mark." I went over and hugged Cat. "B, Adam, Sandra, Jay, Missy and Jeff are hanging out over there," and I pointed towards them. "We're going home. The drinks are a little too good around here."
"Alright. We'll see you guys at the show tomorrow."
"Tonight," I corrected, laughing my ass off.
What song should come on then, but 'I Ain't Missing You at All'. I was suddenly enjoying the fact that Andrew's arm was around my shoulders.
When we got out to the van, Billy said he'd take over the driving. Nikole sat beside him, Joanie and Eddie took the next seats, which left me and Andrew with the big bench seat. He stretched one of his long legs across the seat, and motioned for me to stretch out with him. I did, and laid my head on his chest.
"Thank you, Andrew," I told him.
"For what?"
"I needed to have a good time with a man again."
"Anytime, Jade." He hugged me.
We went to the hotel Eddie was staying at. Joanie said she'd stay with him, so there would be more room at the house. Nikole and I knew better, though.
We went on to the house. Billy and Nikole headed for her room. On the way down the hall, they said goodnight.
"Goodnight," we replied. "Try to keep it down in there. Some of us might really want to sleep," Andrew joked.
"The way you two were dancing, I doubt it," Billy said.
Andrew helped me into my room and get my jeans and shirt off. He helped me under the covers, and kissed me on the forehead.
"I guess I'll take Joanie's room for tonight."
"No, don't leave me, Andy."
"Are you sure," he asked as he bent over me again.
I pulled him down further, and kissed him. That was all the answer he needed. He took off his clothes, and crawled under the covers with me. Andrew gave me a kiss filled with passion.
"Are you sure you want this," he asked again.
"I want you now."
He made love to me, then we fell asleep in each other's arms.

chapter 5
When I woke up, I watched Andrew as he slept. I remembered everything from the night before, and didn't regret a minute of it. He's a very good friend, and a gentle lover. The only problem was how he will feel about what happened now that he's sober.
I looked at the clock. It was ten. We didn't have to be at the arena until 5, so I let him sleep. I got out of bed, put on my robe, and went down to the kitchen. Nikole and Billy were sitting at the table, drinking coffee.
"Good morning."
"Good morning," they replied.
"You have an awfully bright smile for someone who 'just went to sleep'," Nikole teased. "You have an equally bright hickey on your neck."
"Please tell me you're joking."
"She's not," Billy confirmed.
I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, there was a bright purple spot on my neck. "Pay backs are a bitch," I said to the mirror. I went back into my room, and gave him one. Thankfully, he slept through it.
I went back downstairs and poured myself a cup of coffee. "Now he has one."
"This should be interesting," Billy said.
"Why?"
"For one thing, Vince will be pissed. Another, 'Trash' has a thing for Andrew. She thinks he'll ask her out any day now."
"She's got another thing coming," I laughed.
" 'Trash' is a slut. That's why I haven't asked her out," Andrew said from the doorway.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well," I asked.
"Yeah, but I dreamt that a giant leech was sucking on my neck."
"Nikole started laughing. "You might want to go see the damage it did."
I glared at her. He went to the bathroom, and I followed.
"So it wasn't a leech. Just a woman trying to pull my heart's strings."
"Mm hmm. You did the same to me."
He looked at it . "Oops. The Dominatress isn't supposed to let a man get to her like that," he laughed.
"I know, but this one's special."
"How do you think Vince will take it?"
"We'll get some earplugs on the way to the arena," I laughed.
"I'm gonna take a shower. Do you want to join me?"
"Mmm, alright."
He pulled me close to him, and ground his pelvis against me. He brushed his lips over mine, then crushed them together. He picked me up, by my butt, and set me on the counter. He opened my robe, exposing my nakedness to him.
"I thought we were taking a shower."
He gave me a hurt look. "I was just a one night stand for you, wasn't I?"
I kissed him on the tip of his nose. "No, I have some things I want to do before we go to the show. Then, you have me all night long."
"Ok."
We got in, and washed each other's body. I tried to step out of the shower, but he grabbed me.
"I can't wait until tonight."
He picked me up, and held me between him and the wall. He eased his way inside of me. His thrusts were long and fast, bringing me to a climax almost immidiatly. As I came, I screamed his name. Andrew barried his face between my neck and shoulder as he released within me.
As we stepped out of the bathroom, Nikole passed by us. "It's a good thing I wasn't asleep. You two would have woke me up."
I turned red. Andy, on the other hand, put an arm around me and said," we have nothing to hide. I fucked her brains out." We all laughed our asses off.

chapter 6
I went upstairs and put my clothes on. I called Missy and Sandra's house, but Lady B answered.
"Hey, B. Did you forget how to get to the hotel," I teased.
"No, we were too drunk to drive or walk. Jay had to drive us here."
"I have the best cure for a hangover."
"What's that," she asked groggily.
"Strong coffee, followed by a mega shopping trip."
"You're on. When will the coffee be ready?"
"We should have some more done before you get over here. Tell Sandra and Missy, too."
"Ok, see you in a minute."
"Later."
Andrew came in.
"Is there any coffee left, babe?"
"Yeah, Billy's making some more. What do you have planned?"
"Me and the girls are gonna go shopping after I call Vince and get some coffee in B."
"Do you have a spare key to the house? Billy and I have to do a little shopping, but we should be back before you."
"Yeah," and I gave him the one out of the nightstand.
He came over to me, and gently kissed me. "Are you still going to be mine all night?"
"Yes. All night."
"Don't forget about the show later. We have to be there at five. Billy and I are gonna go now." He kissed me again, and left.
I was just about to call Vince, when the phone rang.
"Hello."
"Where's Andrew," Trish snapped.
"Look here, cunt, you don't call my house snapping at me! You don't need to know where he is every damn second!"
I heard the dial tone after I was done yelling at her. ' I'll deal with her later,' I told myself. I called Vince, and asked him what was on the agenda for tonight.
"We're starting a new fued for you. You're fighting Jaqueline tonight. Trish is going to do interference, because it's for the number one contendership, and she wants in on it."
"Alright. You still want us there at five, right?"
"If you want time to practice, you can come in earlier."
"That's ok. Jacky likes it spur of the moment."
We said our goodbyes. I hung up just as the doorbell rang. I went into the kitchen, where they were getting their coffee.
"So, which one are we going to," Missy asked.
"The Galleria. Everything you could possibly want is there."
"Should we call Dville," Sandra asked.
"I'll call."
So, I did, and she said she would meet us at the house. Once she got there, we left.
"What happened to your neck, Jade," Dville asked while laughing.
"Um, nothing," I told her while trying to cover it.
"Andrew did it," Nikole answered.
"Thank you, loud mouth."
"Tell the truth and I won't have to," she retorted.
"Yes, Andrew did it. We were drunk and we slept together."
"Well...."
"Well what, B?"
"How was he!?"
I gave them a wide grin and said," I'm not telling."
"You must have thought he was pretty good this morning. You scared me and Billy when you started yelling his name," Nikole laughed.
"I'm going to put a gag on you."
"Twice within 24 hours... There must be something going on more than a drunken screw."
"I'm not pushing anything. What happens, happens."
After getting in the mall, we wound up at Fredric's of Hollywood. Missy suggested we try to find nighties that match our men's character, in some way.
"This is goofy," I told them.
"It is, but it's also a challenge."
"Alright, let's make it quick. I have to find my new look for tonight."
Lady B found a teddy with pictures of cliffs on it.
"Are you going to buy that," Sandra asked, making a face at the ugly thing.
"No. Somebody would have to kill me to get me in that! I found one that matches Adam's eyes that I'm gonna get."
Sandra found a teddy with little cherubs on it. She picked out a baby blue and black g-string set to buy.
Nikole found a pink cami set with fringe hanging from the bottom hem of the shirt and waistband of the panties. "It reminds me of when his character was a cowboy. I think I'll get it."
Missy found a black gown with splotches of pink, purple and blue all over it. "It reminds me of Jeff's hair." She found a purple silk thigh length gown and robe set to get instead.
Dville found a sheer black gown and robe. The robe had black feathers around the collar and cuffs. "Now that's Raven," I told her.
"Your turn, Jade," B reminded.
I found some black leather short shorts that had spots torn out with light blue underneath. Then I found a button up bustier that matched. I held it up for them to see. "Well?"
"It's not a nighty, but it matches his old suit. I think you found your new look for tonight," Missy said.
I tried it on, and made sure I could move to wrestle in it. Then, I showed it to them.
"Get it!" they all said.
"Alright!" I yelled back.

chapter 7
Once we picked up Andy and Billy, and got to the arena, we went straight to Vince's office.
"Hey, Vince. What's the plan for tonight?"
He continued to look at the papers on the table in front of him as he told us. "Like I said, you're fighting Jacky tonight, for the number one contendership. Trish is going to come in and interfere. The match will be thrown out, neither of you getting the win."
He looked up at the three of us. "Jade, you will be more upset about it, which will start a fued between you and Trish.
"Andrew, you and Albert are fighting Adam and Jay for the belts. You'll lose tonight, but you'll fight again at the pay per view. That's when you'll get the belts.
"Billy, you've got Sean. Beat the hell out of him."
"He's in trouble again," Billy asked.
"Yeah, he failed his drug test." Vince crooked his neck as he looked at Andrew and me. "You had better hope Michelle can cover those. And, don't let it happen again!"
I sat down beside him. "Guys, let me talk to Vince alone for a minute." They left and I turned to him. "What's wrong, Vince? You're not acting like yourself."
"Steph's pregnant, and she doesn't know who the father is. When I'm around the guys, I can't help but wonder if it was one of them."
"How far along is she?"
"She doesn't know yet. She thinks a month and a half."
"Is she here tonight?"
"She's at home. She has an appointment with the doctor to get the results from some tests. It's at nine tomorrow. I can't believe she would do something so stupid," Vince almost yelled. "She is so smart, but sometimes she does the dumbest things!"
"It takes two to tango, Vince. You can't place all of the blame on her," I told him.
"I know, but she could have insisted he wear a..."
"Vince, are you telling me that things never got so heated between you and Linda that you forgot to use protection?"
"You have a point. That's how we got Shane."
"Stephanie is a grown woman now. She will have to deal with this on her own. Don't push her into anything. Just support her, and listen to her."
"You sound like Linda," he laughed. "You're right." He hugged me. "Thank you."
"Whenever you need to talk, I'm around."
I left the room then. I found Andrew leaning against the wall next to the door, arms folded over his chest.
"Is he pissed at us?"
"No, he's having some family problems. You didn't have to wait for me."
"I know. I wanted to make sure you didn't catch hell in there."
"You are too sweet." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders as we walked down the hall to the dressing rooms.
We made it to his dressing room first. When he opened the door, we found Trish waiting for him.
"What are you doing in here," he yelled at her.
"Waiting for you." Then, she noticed me. "What is she doing here," she asked as she glared at me.
"Anything she damn well pleases!" He turned to me. "Let me deal with her. If you hear a scream, come keep me from killing her."
"Ok, baby," I laughed. He gave me a kiss, and went into his dressing room. I heard him yelling at her until I turned the corner.
My troubles went from bad to worse. Outside my dressing room stood Mark. I cursed under my breath, and went over to him.
"Whatcha need, Mark?"
"I need to talk to you."



ch. 8

I knew by the tone of Mark's voice, I wasn't going to like what he had to say. I lead him into the dressing room, and told him to have a seat. I laid out my gear, while he talked.
"I miss having you around," he said, his voice full of sorrow.
"You don't need me. You made that clear."
"I know, and I've kicked myself in the ass everyday for three months."
"What happened to Lady Cat?"
"We got into an argument this morning, and she left. She called and left a number, but I'm not sure about us anymore. I want you back at home."
I turned to face him, and gave him a cold stare. "Take your ass out of this dressing room, and out of my life! Haven't you hurt me enough? You come in here, saying you 'miss having me around'. We work together. I'm always around! You say you want me to come back 'home'. That's not my home, it's your's. Just leave me alone!" Mark stood and came to me, anger filling his eyes. "Go patch things up with Cat, or find someone else to help you get your rocks off. I won't anymore!"
He pulled me to him, and kissed me roughly, the way I used to like it. His lips grew softer upon mine, to see if I was kissing him back. His tongue saught entry, but I refused to open.
"Come back home with me tonight, Jade. I want to make love to you again."
"No, Mark. I have a date after the show, and I won't break it for anyone." I took a deep breath. It felt good to be pressed against him again, but I couldn't hurt Cat or Andrew. "Go patch things up with Cat. Whatever happened, it can be fixed with five words; 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you'."
He leaned his forehead on mine, and looked me straight in the eyes. "Tell me, truthfully, that you didn't enjoy that kiss, and I'll leave."
"You know I can't, but I'm in love with someone else, and so are you."
"Actually, this is why Cat and I were fighting. I still love you."
A knock at the door scared us, and we jumped apart. "Who is it," I yelled.
"It's me, baby. Can I come in?"
"Yeah, Andy."
"You're dating Andrew," Mark asked, shocked.
"Do you have a problem with that?"
Andrew was wide eyed for a moment, when he saw Mark. "Hey, Mark. What's up?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to tell Jade something." He turned back to me. "I'll talk to you later." After that, he left.
"What did he want?"
"Oh, nothing. He just wanted to bug me. What do you want?"
"Do I need a reason to see you," he asked with a slight pout.
"Nope, but I didn't think I'd see you again until after the show. What did 'Trash' want?"
"The same thing she always wants. Someone to sleep with."
"What did you tell her?"
"That I'm with you, now, and she has a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting in bed with me."
"Did you tell her me, or just someone?"
"I told her it was you. Why?"
"Shit. Couldn't you have waited until after the match to piss her off? Now, she'll be after me with all she's got."
"I didn't think of that." He thought for a moment. "I'll be behind the curtain when she comes out. If it looks like you're in trouble, I'll come out and help you."
"That's ok. You can't go out of character, Jacky will be there, and I'm no weakling," I laughed the latter.
"I know, baby, but I don't want you to get hurt."
"I'll be ok. Hey! Wait 'til you see my new costume. It'll be a blast from your past."
"I can't wait to see you out of it," he said as he slipped his arms around me.
"You will soon enough," I said before kissing him. "Now, we need to get ready for the show." He kissed me, and left.



ch. 9

After I got dressed, and saw Michelle (who was able to cover the mark), I followed the halls back to the dressing room. As I turned down another hall, Trish came out of Mark's dressing room.
"I guess you both found someone to solve your problems," I told her.
And, what problem would that be, Jade?"
"You both want someone to screw."She walked off down the hall. "Bitch," I whispered.
Suddenly, my stomach growled. I went into the room catering set up in, to grab a bite. I got a sandwich, and sat down with Joanie.
"Hey, Joanie. How was your night," I teased.
She groaned. "I never knew such a little guy could snore so loud!"
"Are you sure those were snores and not grunts and groans," I asked while laughing.
"What gave it away," she laughed.
"The shit eating grin."
"How was your's?"
"I woke up with a mouthfull of blonde hair, and next to this big guy."
"I thought something was happening between you two last night. So, did you?"
"Why is everyone asking?"
"Because we're tired of you being so bitchy, and we all know you just needed to get laid."
A big grin spread across my face. "Nevermind. I got my answer."
"So, who are you fighting tonight?"
"I'm in a triple threat tonight, against Val and guess who."
"Eddie?"
"Bingo. Hours after waking up with him, I have to fight him."
"That sucks. I couldn't imagine fighting Andrew."
"You had to fight Mark once, didn't you?"
"Yeah. The match was the best part." I looked down. "The fight afterward sucked."
"Sorry, Jade. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories." She looked up at the doorway. "Speak of the Devil, and he will arrive."
I turned around, and saw Mark going to the table and grabbing a plate. "I'm gonna get out of here." I took the sandwich in one hand, and the paper plate in the other. "I'll talk to you later." I threw the plate away, and headed for the door.
A smack on the ass made me turn around. "God damn you, Mark! Just stay away from me, and don't touch me again!"
"He's already damned me. And, you know you love it."
"Get over yourself." I turned to leave, but ran straight into Glenn's chest.
"Excuse me, Glenn." As I walked out the door, I heard him ask Mark, "what's wrong with her?"
"I guess she's p.m.s.ing."
"Fuck you, Mark," I yelled back.

ch. 10

I waited in the dressing room until I was called for my match with Jacky. I wasn't really worried about Trish coming after me. She has muscle, but not a clue about using it.
Jacky and I stood behind the curtain, waiting for our themes to start. We wished each other luck, then she went out. Once Kidney Thieves' "S + M(a love song)" started, I made my entrance.
After the bell rang, we were in a grapple. She threw me into the ropes, and I came back flying. I pulled off a running cross-body, and got a one count.
When we got up, she got the upper hand, and tossed me into the corner. She threw punches into my stomach. I threw punches back, fighting my way out of the corner. Once we got back to the center of the ring, we heard Trish hit the mat. I had my back to Trish. All of a sudden, Jaqueline got wide eyed, and yelled "duck!!!"
We both ducked, and I swung around to knock Trish off her feet. She had swung at us with a sledgehammer. I thought it was one of the props, until I picked it up. It was a very real, thirty pound sledge.
The ref called for the bell. It hit me then, that Andrew hadn't come out to warn me. With the hammer still in hand, I got out of the ring and ran up the ramp. I found him in a heap on the floor, on the other side of the curtain.
"Andy, baby, who did this to you? Was it Trish?"
"I don't know. They got me from behind. Are you alright?"
"I'm doing better than you are. Let's get you some help." I laid the hammer down next to him, and put his arm around my shoulder. I helped him get to Dr. Merril's office.
"I'll be right out in the hall. I'll come back in when the Doc's done."
"Alright, keep your eyes open."
I stood outside the door, thinking what had happened. I was almost possitive that Mark and Trish were behind all of it, but really had no proof. Andy and I would have to watch our backs tonight, then try to lure the person or people after us.
Dr. Merril came out to get me. When I went in, Andrew was sitting up, stretching his neck muscles.
"What did the doc say?"
"He said I'll be alright, and could still do the match tonight."
"Do you feel up to it?"
"Yeah, I have a little while to get loosened up."

chapter 11
I massaged his shoulders while we waited. "Feeling any better?"
"Much better, thank you," he answered.
"Anytime, hun."
There was a knock on the door. "Yeah," Andy yelled.
"Time for our match, man," came Albert's voice.
"Alright, just a sec." He turned around and gave me a kiss. "I want you to stay in here. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Go on. Don't worry about me." I wasn't about to stay. I waited a few seconds after he left, before following him. After he went out to the ring, I stood behind the curtain watching the match on the monitor.
About halfway through what was supposed to happen, Albert turned on Test. I tried to runn out and save him, but I was grabbed from behind. He carried me down the halls and out of the arena.
Once I was thrown in the backseat of a car, I saw who my captor, or should I say captors, were. Sean Morley sat behind the steering wheel, while Steven Richards climbed in next to me.
"Let's go!"
"Steven, I'm gonna kill you, you sorry son of a bitch!"
"Aw, don't be so mean, Jade. We're just gonna show you a good time," he said with an evil grin.
Val took us to the hotel they were staying at. Steven pulled me out of the car by my upper arm. I tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but it didn't work. I stomped on his foot, and ran off. Before I got far, Sean grabbed me from behind, and pulled me against him.
"I'm trying to keep from hurting you, baby," he whispered in my ear, "but if you do that again, you'll never wrestle again."
He grabbed my left arm, and Steven took my right. We went into the hotel, and were stopped in the lobby by some kids. Most of them went to Val and Steven, but one little girl recognized me without my mask. 'Thank God for little girls,' I thought to myself.
Instead of just writing down my name, I wrote down the phone number for the house, and asked her to tell someone who I was with. Then handed the pen and paper back.
"Alright, Jade. We have to go," Steven said, gettig impatient.
They grabbed my arms again, and lead me to the elevators. I turned to look at the girl, and she gave me a thumbs up.
They shoved me into the elevator, and pushed the button for the fifth floor.
"What do you two want with me?"
Sean started playing with my hair. "We just want to use your body for a little while."
Steven slid his hand across my ass, and squeezed it hard. "If you're a good girl, we'll let you go tonight."


chapter 12
The door opened, and they pulled me down the hall. We stopped in front of a door, and Sean unlocked it with the card. We went in, and walked through the sitting room to the bedroom.
Val took two ropes out of his bag, and tied them to the posts on the bed.
"I don't fucking think so!"
"We wouldn't want you to get away," Steven said from behind me, where he was holding my arms.
Then, there was a knock on the door. Steven threw me on the bed with Sean, who tied me to the bed. Steven yelled," who is it?"
"Room service," came a badly disguised voice from the other side.
Steven opened the door, and said," we didn't order..." Next thing I know, he is backstepping into the bedroom. Towering over him were Mark and Glenn.
"We saw you two take off with Jade. We want in," Mark said.
'Aw, shit!' I just hoped the girl got ahold of Nikole at the house. And, hoped Niki got ahold of Billy or Joanie.
When Sean stepped away, Glenn sat next to me on the bed. He winked at me, but I rolled my eyes at him. He leaned closer until I could feel his breath on my ear.
"Take a look in the other room," he whispered. When I did, I saw Mark knock their heads together, knocking them out. Glenn untied my hands.
I threw my arms around Glenn. "Thanks, guys. Let's get the hell out of here, please."
"Not yet," he said with an evil grin. "We're gonna have a little fun with them first."
Mark started looking through Sean's bags. he found a smaller bag inside the huge duffel bag. He opened it, and pulled out a spiked collar and a pair of handcuffs. "I always kne he was a little freaky," Mark laughed.
I cleared my throut, and gave him an evil grin. "Need I remind you..."
"Stop right there! We don't want to give Glenn ideas about us."
I helped them strip the guys. I put the collar on Steven. Mark and Glenn laid the guys on the bed, and tied one of their arms to it. They were then handcuffed together. I looked into the bag, and found a ball gag. I buckled it around Steven's head, then pulled the vaseline out of the bag, and set it on the night stand.
"Are we done," I asked.
The guys looked at them. "Almost," Glenn said. He left the room. When he came back, Tori was with him, and she had a make-up kit. We put make up on Steven. I put on the same lipstick that she put on Steven, and placed a few kisses all over Sean's body. Then, we all left the room. Out in the hall, I asked Tori not to tell anyone.
"How's Andy," I asked as we got into the elevator.
"He was in with the doc when we left. I'm sure he'll be ok," Glenn answered.
Mark just stood there, looking annoyed that I would ask.

ch. 13

The ride back to the arena was quiet. When we got there, Glen went straight inside. Mark kept me by the car until Glenn was out of hearing distance.
"Jade, please come home with me."
"I'm tired of playing games with you, Mark. That's why we got divorced."
He grabbed my hips, and trapped me between him and the car. "I never wanted the divorce. I just wanted you to be happy."
"I'm happy now, with Andrew. We just started dating, and I think there's real hope for us. Our relationship was fucked up, Mark! I don't want to go back to that. Now, I'm gonna go check on Andy. Thanks for helping me, but I have to move on."
I left him, and went inside. I found Andy in the doc's room. I threw my arms arond him. "Are you alright, baby?"
"A few bruises. Where did you go?"
"Steven and Val kidnapped me. Luckily, Glenn and Mark saved my ass. Are you ready to go?"
"Wait a second. Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just wanna get the hell out of here. Are you ready?"
"Yeah. I need to get my gear."
"Me too. I'll meet you in your dressing room."
"No way. I'm not leaving your side."
After we went to his dressing room, we went to mine. Before we went inside, he stopped me. "I just wanted to tell you, you look great."
"Thanks, honey." He gave me a simple kiss, which turned into a heated, passionate one quickly. Without seperating our lips, he opened the door, and we went in. After taking a few steps backward, I ran into someone.
"I hate to interupt, but I thought we were going home with you," Billy said, trying to keep a straight face.
"You're not going to make us wait until after you have sex, are you," Joanie laughed.
Andrew stood there laughing, but I was ready to scream. I was ready to find a spot to hide from everyone, as long as he was with me. "Fine. Let me get my shit, then we'll go."
"Hey, Jade, let them take the van and our gear. We can take a cab," Andrew suggested.
"Sound good to you two?"
"I'm driving," Billy yelled.
I snapped the van keys off of the chain, gave it to him, then handed him my bag. I kissed him on the cheek, and said "thanks".
"No prob. Go have a good time."
"Oh, wait. I need to change first. I can't go out in my costume."
"Just change your pants. Leave the top on," Joanie suggested.
I pulled my leather pants out of my bag, went into the bathroom and put them on. I stuffed the shorts back in the bag, and gave it back to Billy. They left, and we planned out our night.


chapter 14
After having a romantic dinner, we went to a nearby bar. We had a few drinks, and went for a walk.
"Are you feeling ok, Jade," Andy asked, as I stumbled alongside him.
"I'm a little light headed."
"Do you want to go back to the house?"
"I... I..." I blacked out. When I woke up, I was in an ambulance.
"Andrew?"
"I'm here, baby. You're going to the hospital."
They wheeled me into the emergency room, and started running tests on me. An hour later, the doctor came in.
"Mrs. Callaway..."
"Please, just call me Jade," I interupted.
"Alright, Jade, it appears that someone slipped you a 'mickey'."
"I was drugged!?"
"It appears so. We found eather in your blood, along with some other elements. We're still running tests to determine what they are."
I started thinking of all of the people that would do something like this:
Trish, because she wants Andrew, but he's dating me. Lady Cat, because Mark had told her that he still loved me. Mark, because I refused his advances. Sean and Steven for what Mark, Glenn, Tori, and I had done to them.
Another thing struck me. I have too many enemies at the moment.
"What has to be done?"
"We're going to give you a saline i.v. to flush the toxins out of your body. We need to keep you here until you're clean. Any questions?"
"No, thank you," I told him.
"Can I stay with her?"
"If you want to. I'll have the nurse bring in a cot for you."
"Thank you," Andrew said as the doctor left the room.
"You should go to the house and get some rest. There's a show tomorrow night."
"I have the night off. Quit worrying. Just lay back and get some rest."

I was released two days later. We went to the house from there. I checked the answering machine. Most of the messages were from Vince, wondering where we were. There was another message, that pissed me off.
"Hope you enjoyed the drink," the voice said. I couldn't recognize the voice because they were using something that changes the sound of the voice.
I changed the tapes, so it wouldn't get recorded over. Then, I called Vince, and told him what happened.
"Take as long as you need. By the way, is Andrew with you?"
I looked at Andrew, and gave him a mischeivious grin. "No. I don't know where he is."
"Jade," he stretched it as an 'I know you're lieing'. "Tell me the truth."
"Ok, he's here. When do you need him back?"
"There's a house show in two days. I want him back for it. Do you want to go to it?" You don't have to wrestle, just make an appearance."
"Set up a match. I'll be there." We said our goodbyes and hung up.
"Are you sure you're feeling well enough to wrestle?"
"Come with me, and I'll show you how well I'm feeling." I grabbed his shirt and pulled him to the backyard.
"What are we doing out here?"
I flicked the switch on a box next to the door. The motor whirred to life. Then, I took the cover off of the hot tub. "Get the picture?"
"You're always full of ideas," Andy laughed.
We stripped and got in. He sat on the seat in the tub, and pulled me over to kneel over him. He kissed and nibbled my neck. He claimed my lips, while running the pad of his thumb over my nipple. The bubbles tickled our bodies, as he entered me. The water lapped around us as we moved together.
"I love you, Jade."
"I love you, too, Andrew."
We came together, our moans mingling in a deep kiss.

chapter 15
The next morning, we took the tape to the police. We told them about me being drugged, and the phone call. I asked the officer if there was a way to get the real voice from it.
"It could take a couple of days, but the lab guys can do it."
"We have to go out of town tomorrow, on business. You can call my cell phone when it's done," I told the officer.
"I sure will, ma'am." He looked at Andrew. "Can I get your autograph for my daughter? She has a crush on you."
He blushed, and smiled, then signed a peice of paper.
We went back to the house. Nikole was sitting in the kitchen, eating.
"Hey, Nik-Nik. What's up?"
"Nothing. Trying to think of something to do this weekend."
"Do you have classes tomorrow?"
"Nope, why?"
"I'm kidnapping you for the weekend. I'm sure Billy would love to see you."
"Sounds better than staying at home," she laughed.
I called the airport. Luckily, someone cancelled their trip, so she could go with us.
The next day, we all headed out to Las Vegas. Billy, Joanie, and the others were arriving just after us. We went to their gate to meet them.
"Hey, sweety! How are you feeling," Joanie asked me.
"Just fine. No side effects. The doc said I'm fine, mentally and physically. How'd the show go?"
"Without a hitch. Billy had another 'ass' moment, but it was mostly same shit."
Nikole stood with her arms wrapped around Billy's neck, and pouted. "And I missed it?"
"I'll give you a private show later."
I turned to Andy. "Why don't you do a strip tease for me?"
"No way in hell," he laughed.
"Atleast the thong?"
"Uh-uh."
"Let's take our stuff to the hotel, and hit the one armed bandits," Joanie said.
We went to the hotel, and checked in. "Mr. Martin, you are in room 504. Ms. Callaway, you are in room 502 with Mr. Callaway."
"That's gotta be wrong." I thought for a moment. "Thank you."
"You're not going to bug Vince with this, are you?"
"No. I'm gonna pay a little visit to Mark."
We went up to the fifth floor. Andrew went to his room. I went to Mark's, with my bags still in hand.
"Hey, darlin'. Decided to come back to me, huh?"
"No. Someone booked us for the same room."
"I wish I had thought of it."
"This wasn't your doing?"
"No."
I left him, and went to Andy's door. I heard him say,"She'll be here any minute." I heard a kiss before I ran to hide around the corner. I peaked around the corner to see who was leaving.
Just as the door was opening, someone tapped me on the shoulder. Without turning around, I asked, "what?"
"Did you miss me, baby doll?"
"Big Paulie! Of course I did! What the hell happened to your hair?" I turned to see who it was, but they were gone.
"I was laying out in the yard, and the gardener ran over me with the lawn mower," he laughed. "What are you doing, Jade?"
"Spying on Andrew." I turned back to him. "Screw it. You wanna go hang out?"
"Let's go down and get some lunch. I want to hear about everything I missed. I just need to drop off my bags."
"Can I leave mine in your room for now?"
"Sure."
"We went to Paul's room, and dropped off the stuff. I called Joanie's room, and told her we could hit the casinos together later.
After getting a table and ordering our lunch, I told him everything that happened in the past 2 months.
"Now, I want to know why you were spying on Andrew, when you could go in and be with him?"
"Somebody was with him."
"So? You dont know what was happening in there."
"I'm going to talk to him in awhile. How's your knee doing now?"
"Good. I have to wear a brace while I'm up and moving, but it healed well."
"How's Bess doing?"
"Great. She's glad I'm back on the road," Paul said. "She likes having me home, until I get cabin fever. How's Mark?"
"Ornery as ever."
"There you are, baby. I thought Mark decided to keep you," Andrew said from behind me. "Hey, 'Show'. Welcome back, man."
"Thanks, man. It's good to be back."
"We ran into each other in the hall, and wanted to catch up."
"Somebody wants to see you. She was just in our room looking for you."
"Who?"
"Steph. She wants to talk to you about the baby."
"Stephanie is pregnant," Paul asked.
"I think it was supposed to be a secret, so don't tell anyone. I'm gonna go see her. I'll talk to you later."
"I'll be in my room later, so you can get your bags."
"Ok, thanks."
"Later, baby doll," and he gave me a wink and a big smile.
Andrew laced his fingers with mine, and lead me to the elevators. Once we were inside, he asked, "why didn't you come in? I know you were outside the door."
"I heard the kiss, and thought you were in love with someone else. I'm sorry for not trusting you."
"I understand, hun. Next time, check with me before you get upset."

chapter 16
Andy walked me to Steph's room, then he said he was going to work out with the guys.
I knocked on the door. "Who is it?"
"Auntie Jade."
She yanked the door open. "Shhh. I haven't told anyone yet."
"Have you figured out who 'daddy' is yet," I asked as I entered her room.
"This has to stay between us, ok?" I nodded and she continued. "It's Crash."
I fell on the couch, laughing. "I didn't know you like small guys."
"He may be short, but he's long," she said with a wide grin.
"That's more info than I needed. Why didn't you tell your dad?"
"He'd freak if he knew it was one of the guys."
"He's freaking out, because you told him you didn't know. He thinks you screwed all the guys."
"Jade, you know I'm not that way."
"Tell 'dad' before he yells at the wrong guy again."
"Stay with me, please."
"You have to tell him yourself. I'll talk to him before hand."
Stephanie nodded and said, "ok."
"Have you told Crash?"
"Not yet."
I called Vince, and Crash, and asked them to come to Steph's room. Crash was the first to the door, and Vince wasn't far behind.
I pulled Vince into the bedroom. "No matter what she tells you, don't blow up. She's worried about how you'll take what she has to say."
Suddenly, we heard Crash yell, "what!?" Vince ran out of the bedroom. "What's going on in here?"
"Daddy, Crash is the father."
Vince looked at him with a deathly glare. "Do you plan on making my daughter an honest woman?"
"Huh?"
"Are you going to marry her?"
"I...I...I...," and then he fainted.
"Pussy," Vince said.
Stephanie rolled her eyes, and checked on Crash. She sat on the floor, and laid his head in her lap.
"Let's go, Vince. They're gonna need some time alone."
We went our seperate ways after leaving. I went back to the resteraunt to look for Paul. He was still at the table eating. Andrew stood over him, giving him the third degree.
"Why were you with my woman? I don't want to see you near her again!"
Paul smiled as he saw me walking toward them, daggers in my eyes toward Andy. I shoved him in the back. He turned around and yelled, "what!?" When he realized it was me, he gave me a nervous smile, and said, "hi, hun."
"Don't you 'hi, hun' me! What the hell is your problem? Do you enjoy making an ass out of yourself?"
"What do you mean, baby?"
"Why the hell are you chewing him out? He's been one of my best friends since I got into the biz, so if we want to hang out, we will!"
He stared up at the ceiling, thinking that I wouldn't let it go.
"Didn't you just tell me to check with you before getting upset? Try taking your own advice."
I stormed out of the resteraunt, not caring what happened around me. I went straight to the bar across the lobby. I sat down on a stool and ordered a double of Jack. I lit a cigarette, and slammed down my drink.
"What's wrong, Jade," Niki asked.
"What makes you think something's wrong, Sis?"
"You quit smoking months ago."
"I got a pack the other day. Somebody wants me off the road for awhile, plus a couple other things."
"Why didn't you tell me, Sis?"
"You had tests, and I was on the road. I'm not worried about it."
"Be careful. I'm gonna go sit with Billy. Wanna join us?"
"No, thanks, Sis. I kinda want to be alone."
"Alright, later."
I asked for refill, and slammed it back. After that, I slowed down with Jack and cokes.
"Hey, Jade," Mark said with a sigh.
"Hey, Mark. If you act civil, I will."
"Sounds like a deal. What has you drinking?"
"You first."
"I told Cat it was over."
"Andy and I got into it."
"Hey, Jade. I heard you got a real kick out of the last time you drank," Trish said from behind us.
I turned to Mark. "Excuse me." I turned around, and grabbed her by the hair. I slammed my fist, full force, into her nose.
"Try getting a life." She ran off screaming.
"You still love to fight," Mark laughed.
"Sure do, darlin'," I laughed back.
"What was she talking about?"
I told him about being drugged last time, and the message on the machine.
"Do you know who did it?"
"Not yet, but I'm guessing it was Trash."
Just then, my cell phone rang. "Hello."
"Ms. Callaway, this is Detective Sanchez, with the Houston Police Department. We have the voice from the tape you gave to me."
"Alright, I'll try to get over there tomorrow. I'm in Las Vegas right now."
"Alright, get here as soon as you can."
"You wouldn't happen to have it nearby, would you?"
"I sure do. I can play a bit of it for you."
"Go ahead." He played the tape, and I was shocked by the voices I heard.


chapter 17
After I got off the phone, Mark asked what that was about.
"The police just got the voice from the tape. There were two voices. Andrew's and Trish's."
"Should I leave, before you blow up?"
"I give up on men," I whispered to myself. "I'm tired of getting screwed around."
"I know what might cheer you up. Brian is coming to the show. He wants to see you. He's bringing his new tag partner."
"Great! I haven't seen him in two years."
"Where are you going to sleep tonight?"
"Is your bed full?" If I hadn't been drunk, I wouldn't have asked.
"Always room for you," he said with a wide grin.
"I'll get my bags from Paul, and meet you there. I need to sober up before the show."
"Here, take the key card. I have to go pick up Brian and his buddy. Get some rest. When I get back, I'll bring them in to see you."
"Alright. Thanks, Mark."
He gave me a kiss on the cheek, and said, "anytime, darlin'."

I stayed at the bar for awhile longer, before going to the room. Once my head hit the pillow, I was out. I woke up an hour later, because someone was playing with my hair.
"Hey, Jade. I'm back."
My stomach started turning. I jumped out of bed, and ran to the bathroom to throw up.
"Are you gonna be ok, hun," Mark asked, his voice full of concern.
"Yeah. I think I had one too many earlier."
I cleaned myself up, and joined Mark. I laid back down. "Where's Brian?"
"He went to put his stuff in his room. He'll be in here in a minute."
He laid down with me. He wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me against his chest. "Are you sure you're going to be alright?"
"Yeah. I'm feeling better already."
There was a knock on the door, and Mark answered it. Moments later, Brian and his partner were standing next to me.
"Hey, Jade. How ya been, baby girl?"
"Alright. How about you?"
"Just fine. This is my new tag partner..."
"'Wrath'. Nice to meet you."
"So, you did watch the shows."
The man stuck his hand out to shake my hand. "My name's Bryan Clark."
"What are you guys doing here?"
"I came out to visit Mark, bug him for awhile. Bryan came along, 'cause I got a couple front row seats."
"I like to check out the competition every once in awhile," Clark said with a smile.
"Do you feel up to eating," Mark asked me.
"I ate with Paul a little bit ago, but I could use some coffee."
"Let's go, then."

chapter 18
We bullshitted for awhile as they ate. We were getting ready to leave, when Andrew came in. "Damn."
"What is it, baby girl?"
I pointed at Andrew, and said," my future ex."
"You might as well talk to him, and get it over with. Call him over," Mark said.
"Hey, Andrew!" When he looked, I waved him over. When he got to the table, he looked at Mark and said," I thought you and Mark weren't getting along."
"I guess I chose the wrong man to be upset with. So, what did you drug me with, and why?"
"What?"
"Your voice was on the tape with Trish's. Why and what?"
"A bunch of different things. I don't remember them all."
Mark and Brian stood and stared at him with daggers in their eyes. "Why," Brian asked.
"Trish threatened to turn me in to Vince over a little drug problem I had. It was 'lose my job, or risk losing my woman, and best friend'. Sorry, hunny."
"You son of a bitch! How could you," I asked, as tears streamed down my cheeks. "Don't come near me ever again!"
"You heard her. Now, leave," Mark told Andrew. He left, but not without telling me "I love you," one more time.
Mark sat next to me. "Are you gonna be ok?"
"Yeah," I sobbed. I looked at my watch. "We have to get to the arena."


chapter 19
Once we got to the arena, we split up. Adams and Clark went to say hi to some old friends, Mark went to his dressing room, and I went to mine.
I was getting ready for my match, when there was a knock on the door. "Hold on a sec." I zipped up my catsuit, then answered the door. I looked up into a pair of beautiful blue eyes. "Hey, Bryan."
He shoved his hands in his pockets. "I saw your name on the door, and wanted to make sure you're ok."
I smiled at his shyness. "I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me. Wanna come in?"
"No. Adams and I should get to our seats. By the way, you look great."
"Thanks. Well, I'll be looking for you guys."
"Alright, later."
"Bye." I hung my head out the door as he walked away. I watched him walk down the hall.
"Like what you see?"
"I always enjoy a nice ass, Joanie. Did you make any money on the 'bandits'?"
"Nah, they got me. What's happening tonight?"
"I have Trish for number one contender. You have 'X'."
She made a disgusted face. "I'll trade ya. Sean has a problem grabbing my ass and boobs."
"Roaming hands sounds better than fighting silicone valley. No offense."
"None taken. I better get ready. Talk to you later."
"Later, Sis."
Mark was starting off the show against Paul. As I walked to the curtain, I spotted his Titan. 'I wonder how long it will take him to get to the bike,' I thought to myself. I walked over to it, and swung my leg over the seat.
"What are you doing, Jade," Glenn asked me.
"Calling Mark out," I said with an evil grin. I started the bike, and Mark came running out of one of the nearby rooms. He slowed down when he saw it was me.
"What are you doing?"
I shut it down. "I wanna talk to you after the show."
"We're staying in the same room. I don't think it will be a problem."
"I wanted to be sure you didn't have a date."
"Nope. Now, will you get off my bike, or are you coming out with me?"
"I'll get off, if we take this back to the hotel." I got off, and he climbed on.
"Deal."
After their match ended in a DQ, Mark and Paul came backstage, and wished me luck. My music hit and I took my place on stage while the pyros went off. I walked around the ring to find Adams and Clark, before climbing in the ring.
When Trish's music came on, I got out of the ring, and stood by the guys. To my surprise, when she came out, Andrew was following her. "Are you jealous, Jade," she asked into the mic, before kissing him. I could tell he didn't want to.
"No, but I think Test will be." I grabbed Bryan Clark's jacket collar, pulled him out of his chair, and kissed him deeply. When the kiss ended, I looked into his eyes, which were dark with desire. I kissed him again, before letting him sit back down.
The anger was evident on Andrew's face. An evil grin spread across my lips. "I told you." 'Trash' looked at him, and saw how furious he was. She grabbed his arm and practically dragged him to the ring. She got in, while Andrew walked around the outside.
Right after the bell rang, she slapped me on the cheek. I laughed at her, and slapped her in return, leaving my handprint on her cheek. She punched me in the mouth, which knocked me down. Blood dribbled down my chin. I smiled up at her.
"Go ahead. Don't stop now." She stomped on my ribs. I laughed with every kick. She became frustrated. She climbed onto the turnbuckle, and jumped off. I rolled away, and she hit the mat.
"My turn." I stomped on her ribs, until I got tired of doing it. I picked her up by the hair, and punched her. I set her up for the "whiplash" (a tombstone piledriver, quickly followed by an elbow drop to the throut), and got the pin.
I turned around to look at Andrew. He was standing over Bryan, getting ready to punch him. I climbed the turnbuckle and jumped off. I landed on Andrew's back making him fall against the rail. Brian pulled me off of him. When we saw "Val" and Steven coming towards us, Adams and Clark pulled me through the crowd.
We made it to the backstage area. We met up with Mark in his dressing room. "Are you alright, darlin'?"
"Just fine." I spit in my hand. "Blood caps."
The door burst open. On the other side was "Val" and Steven. "You evil, sadistic bitch! You'll pay for what you did to us, and to Trish," Steven said.
"Are you really that stupid? I'm surrounded by friends, very big male friends. Do you think you will even make it to me?"
They looked at Adams, then Clark, then at Mark. "We'll get you later," they said as they backed away.
"Not likely." I turned to Mark. "Are you ready to go? I want to leave before everyone comes after me."
"The bike is out by the docks. Let's go."
"I'll talk to you guys later." I grabbed Bryan's hand. "I'm sorry about Andrew." I kissed his cheek, then followed Mark out the door.



chapter 20
I had forgotten how calming a ride with Mark could be. My arms were wrapped tightly around him, my head resting on his back. I had almost fallen asleep, when we reached the hotel.
We went upstairs, and took a shower together, before we went to bed. I laid there, beside him, trying to think of the right words to tell him. The direct approach seemed right.
"Mark, I knew Brian was coming here tonight."
"Oh?"
"I asked him to. I wanted him to come with me to Atlanta. I'm going to work with him." I let out a big sigh. "Tonight was my last night. I'm going to be a valet/wrestler with Kronik."
He squeezed me tightly against his body. "Why didn't you tell me, baby?"
"I figured you would be the happiest about my leaving. Besides, Vince and I agreed not to tell anyone. Joanie doesn't even know yet."
He kissed me on the forehead. "I'm gonna miss you, darlin'."
"I'm gonna miss you too, Mark. I hate to admit it, but I still love you."
He claimed my lips, and slowly climbed over me. "I love you too, Jade." His hands roamed over my body, as he kissed me again, much deeper than before. He kissed and nibbled his way down my neck and across my shoulder. His tongue made a fiery trail from the valley of my breasts to the tip of my chin.
"Let me make love to you one more time. Let me show you how deep my love is for you, still." A tear rolled down my cheek, as I nodded my head for him to continue. He kissed the tear away. He moved down to my breast, and lightly nipped at the hard bud. I pushed his hair away from his face, and arched to meet his mouth. He repeated his sweet assault on the other breast, before moving down. He kissed along my bikini line from my hips to my center, that was begging for his attention. He let the very tip of his tongue slide over the lips, before dipping it within.
As he brought me to a spasmatic orgasm, I cried out, "oh, my Lord!" He recoiled his tongue, and climbed back up my body to face me. "That's right, baby. I will always be your Lord." I pulled him down to kiss him. I could taste my juices upon his tongue. Our moans mingled as we became one. I wrapped my legs around his waist, as he began a slow, rhythmic pace. "I've missed being inside you. I've missed your sweet moans, and the beautiful look on your face as you come for me."
I raked my nails down his back, which seemed to fuel his desire. I bucked my hips with him, driving him deeper inside me. Electric shocks seemed to run wild through my body as he brought me to another climax. He moaned his oncoming release. He roared as he climaxed, and released his seed within me.
He laid down beside me, and let out a gust of air. We wrapped our arms around each other, and tangled our legs, and fell asleep.

The next morning at 9, all of the wrestlers and crew joined in the banquet hall for a big breakfast. After everyone finished eating, Vince and I broke the news to everyone. Everyone was shocked at how well we kept the secret, especially Joanie.
I received hugs from my friends, while Trish, "Val", and Steven cheered. "We'll miss you, little one," John told me. "I'll miss you, girl. Come visit me and Bonnie when you get some time off," 'Trip' said. "See ya around, little lady," Stone Cold said. "One less 'pie' around here," Duane laughed before saying, "I'll miss you, Jade." "Adios, mija," Essa told me.
"You're not gonna kick me out are you," Joanie asked. "Nope. Stay as long as you want. I'll still live there too," I replied. "Are you sure you want to go there, baby doll," Paul asked. "They can be assholes." "I need a change, Paulie. I have to get out of here."
Andrew was the last to see me. Mark tried to push him away, but I told him it was ok. "I'm sorry, hunny. I'll miss you." Then, he hugged me. I returned his embrace, and said, "bye, Andy. I'll miss you, too."
Soon after, Mark and I shared a long kiss goodbye. Then, Brian Adams and Bryan Clark escorted me to my new boss.
