Part 1

 

**

 

"Will you get off my foot," The first man ordered shoving at the man by his side.

 

"Gee, sorrrrrry." The second man replied as they both scuffled back and forth in the shadows of the arena car park. "Are you sure this is the only way?"

 

"After tonight I'm positive." The first man answered without a second thought. "You've seen the way they look at us." His eyes glazed over for a minute as he conjured her face in his minds eye. The confusion tinged with fear he had seen in her eyes and then the way she had purposely avoided him backstage, the way 'They' had avoided both him and his friend. 'Yes,' He thought, 'This was indeed the only way.'

 

"But kidnapping?" The other man continued.

 

The first man cringed.

 

"It's not so much kidnapping... you can’t kidnap your own wife."

 

"Ahh, news flash, she's not your wife."

 

"Not yet she isn't, but she will be. Now shut up the hell up! They're

coming."

 

**

 

"Lita, open this door!"

 

"No!"

 

"You’re being a baby!"

 

"So!"

 

"I, for one think you should at least thank him!"

 

"For what?"

 

"For saving you."

 

The sound of something hitting the closed door Trish leaned against drew her up with a start.

 

"For Pete’s sake, Lita! I was joking!"

 

The door flew open and a very determined red head stared back at her.

 

"I will say thank you when you say thank you."

 

Trish pffft!

 

"Yeah, like that's going to happen."

 

Lita cocked her brow and folded her arms across her chest.

 

"Not so nice is it when the shoes on the other foot."

 

"If I thought Jericho came out there with the sole intent of rescuing me, I would thank him." The little blonde countered. "As it is he was only out there to make Austin look bad."

 

"You don’t know that for sure."

 

"No, I don’t." Trish agreed. "But I do know how much of an ass Jericho is."

 

"Well, at least on that account we agree." Lita giggled, threading her arm through Trish's as they walked down the hallway towards the car park.

 

"What do you say to lots of chocolate and a chick flick?"

 

"I say we got one hell of a good night ahead of us." Lita grinned bringing her purse up onto the hood of the car as she searched for the keys. "Anyway, the attentions of the ‘Fab Duo’ will shift soon enough, it's not like they're lacking in female company." She heard Trish shuffle on the other side of the car and then the sound of her bag hitting the asphalt. "Ah, there they are." She said clutching the set of keys that just had to be at the bottom of her purse. "Have I finally succeeded in silencing you already?" Lita asked finally looking up from her purse. "Trish? Tris-" A strong hand cut off her words as it covered her mouth and drugging fumes permeated her senses...  then all went black.

 

**

 

Jericho kicked the front door of the cabin in and carried his still sleeping burden towards the bedroom.

 

"What do you think? Should we keep them in the same room?"

 

Christian didn't even bother with a response as he walked to the second bedroom and lay Lita down on the bed.

 

"Okay, separate rooms it is then." Jericho muttered and walked to the first bedroom where he gently lay Trish down on the bed, she purred in her slumber and he smiled down at her, brushing her hair back behind her ears before pulling the covers up over her.

 

"They are going to be so pissed when they wake." Christian said when Jericho returned to the main room.

 

"Trish, maybe... Lita, definitely," Jericho replied grabbing two beers from the fridge before joining Christian on the couch. "You have any idea how your going to calm her?"

 

"Nope, you?"

 

"Well my good looks and charm haven’t worked so far, I'm guessing

I'm going to have to pull out the big guns."

 

Christian lifted his beer to his mouth.

 

"So, you’re going to beg?" He said before tilting the bottle to take a drink.

 

Jericho moved his beer away from his mouth and burped loudly.

 

"Yep,"

 

Christian just nodded in understanding, after all his friend had been waiting a week for Trish to acknowledge his presence that was a whole week longer then he, himself had been waiting for Lita to acknowledge his. He took another drink of his beer.

 

"Smart move,"

 

"Thanks."

 

They both finished there beer and stood up and faced one another.

 

"Remember, we don’t leave those rooms until we get what we want."

 

"You got everything you need?"

 

Jericho sent him a nod and patted the top breast pocket of his jacket.

 

"You?"

 

Christian pulled a silver chain out from underneath his t-shirt and dangled it in front of Jericho.

 

"Yep."

 

"Right then," They both turned towards the bedroom doors. "Let's go wake them up."

Part 2

 

**

 

'God, why can’t you be real!'

 

She stretched languidly on the bed fighting the grip of a wake ness that had her in its clutches forcing her to admit that the faceless man that came to her every night was a dream.

 

Only when the man receded into the back recesses of her mind did she attempt to open her eyes. Rolling onto her side she expected to see the sun's rays streaming in through the big windows that took up one whole wall of the hotel room she shared with Lita. Instead, she saw 'Him' and everything leading up to her and Lita walking through the arena car park came rushing back to her.

 

"You!"

 

"Hey," He reached out to brush her hair back away from her face as it fell forward. Something he had done more than a dozen times since he'd entered the room, only to pull his hand back as she shied away from him, inching her way up the bed until her back was flush up against the headboard.

 

"Where's Lita?"

 

"She's in the next room, Christian's in there waiting for her to wake up."

 

"She's okay?"

 

"She's fine."

 

Her gaze moved from him to the door then back again almost as if she were judging the distance and any minute now she would bolt off the bed to make a run for it.

 

"I know what you’re thinking," He began, "and I can explain everything... I promise."

 

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

 

"Huh?" He saw her chin stick out stubbornly in a way that looked utterly adorable.

 

"You said you knew what I was thinking. Are you claiming to know the workings of the female mind?"

 

'Now he hadn't expected that.' He thought as he tossed around ideas of how best to broach the subject that was weighing heavily on his mind. Should he just come right out and say it? Or should he sprout off his long list of virtues and very short list of debaucheries?

 

"Waiting for an answer here,"

 

He looked up at her then and noticed a lot of the fear and tension had left her and she now sat with her arms folded across her chest...

His eyes lingered.

 

"Oh for god's sake!" She exclaimed getting up off the bed and striding purposely towards the door. She didn't get far.

 

"Marry me."

 

"What?"

 

"M... marry me?"

 

"Are you asking me or my chest?"

 

His eyes flew up to meet hers, his cheeks flaming.

 

"I... I..."

 

She cut him off with a wave of her hand.

 

"Aw, every other man I know looks at them, why should you be different."

 

"But that's just it, I am different."

 

She laughed.

 

"You just spent the last few minutes staring you jackass!"

 

He smiled at her usage of his explicative.

 

"Yes, but what I'm thinking when I stare is different to what every other man you know is thinking when they stare... or are you claiming to know the workings of a man's mind."

 

She quirked her eyebrow at him and smiled.

 

"Touché."

 

She walked back towards the bed and sat down, patting the spot beside her.

 

"So you want to talk marriage, hey?"

 

Hope flared in his eyes and immediately he was at her side.

 

"Trish, I think you’re the most beautiful woman I have ever met-"

 

"Woah, woah, woah..." She held up her hands to still his praise before she found herself swept away by his words. "I maybe blonde,

Jericho, but I am far from ditzy."

 

"I have never thought of you as ditzy." He said in all honesty. The look she gave him spoke of her scepticism. "Well, okay... there was maybe that one time-"

 

"Yeah, well, let’s not dredge up the past okay?" She cut in leaning forward to tap his knee.

 

"Okay." He readily agreed thinking about his own shady past. "Trish, I love you."

 

"Oh, please!"

 

"I do!" He insisted. "Why do you think I came out there last week when Victoria and pink boy were double teaming you?"

 

"Maybe because Austin put the stunner on Stacy and you saw it as a way of promoting your whole 'Get Rid Of Austin' scheme by acting all righteous and heroic." She countered readily.

 

"You think I'd stoop that low?"

 

"I've seen you stoop lower."

 

"When?"

 

"Stephanie."

 

"Oh."

 

He saw her smile and that only frustrated him more. No woman had ever, eeeever been this reluctant toward him before. He was, after all a man of renowned looks. Not that he was vain about his appearance - Well, not overly so. How the hell was he going to make her see that he was sincere?

 

"But I wasn't in love with her." He said as if that made all the difference.

 

"And your not in love with me-" Thats as far as she got because in the next instant his lips were on hers. His tongue pushed its way between her lips to spar with hers while his hand crept up her back to play within the strands of her blonde hair. He felt her hands push against his chest and brought his free hand up between there bodies to capture both of hers, bringing them up over her head as his body pushed hers back against the bed. He lifted his head to hover inches above hers.

 

"Trish, I love you."

 

"Okay, say I believe you, what then?"

 

"Well, how do you feel about me?"

 

"Hmmm... Well, right now I guess about 230 pounds."

 

His brow furrowed and then unfurrowed just as quickly as he realised he was still lying on top of her.

 

"Sorry." He apologised moving off of her a little, but still keeping her pinned to the bed with his thigh over hers and his hand still holding both of hers above her head. His eyes roved appreciatively over her body and he smiled cheekily. "I have to admit I like this position."

 

"Look, Chris, this will never work-"

 

"Wrong answer," He cut her off, bending his head to skim his lips over her collar bone.

 

"Y... you can’t love me..." Her eyes fluttered shut.

 

"Why not?" His lips moved lower.

 

"Because you’re an a... ass."

 

He chuckled.

 

"Not a valid enough answer."

 

"Why me?" She whispered brokenly, an animalistic groan passed through her lips as his tongue skimmed the opening of her shirt that dipped between her breasts.

 

"Because I've been in love with you longer then I've been a heel, because you’re everything I want in a woman and I don’t want to miss another chance to be with you."

 

His lips had stopped there exploration of her skin and she opened her eyes to meet his gaze.

 

"Another chance?"

 

He rolled away from her and lay on his back to focus on the ceiling.

 

"I wanted to ask you out a while ago," He admitted.

 

"Why didn't you?"

 

"You said yes to Jeff."

 

"I said... but... Jeff... that was-"

 

"Over a year ago, I know, I'm pathetic."

 

"You had feelings for me back then?"

 

"No."

 

She pouted.

 

He smiled.

 

"I didn't just have feelings for you Trish, what I felt for you back then and what I feel for you now far surpass the can't eat, can't sleep deal." He got up on one elbow and stared down at her. "It's the whole sitting on a porch when were old thing. This is real."

 

"Then... you really do love me?"

 

He nodded.

 

"I really do love you."

 

"And you really want to marry me?"

 

"I don’t know about the marriage thing anymore, a man can only take so much-"

 

"Oh you!" She pushed at him, her hand going to her mouth as she saw him slip over the edge of the bed, hearing his muffled oath as he hit the floor.

 

She smiled as she poked her head over the side.

 

"Sorry," She grinned and offered him a hand up. "Sometimes I don’t know my own strength."

 

"What a coincidence," He replied latching tightly onto her hand. "I have the same problem." He smiled and pulled, laughing as she tumbled over the edge into his waiting arms.

 

The sound of something hitting and smashing against the wall in the next room had both there heads coming up with a snap.

 

Chris raised his brow but Trish merely smiled bringing his head back down to hers.

 

"Don't worry bout it, it's only Lita."

Part 3

 

**

 

'She felt like shit!'

 

Her head throbbed and the whole left side of her body wouldn't work for some reason. She tried to turn her head and groaned as her head hit something that seemed to be weighing on her left shoulder. She opened groggy eyes and saw a spiky thatch of blonde hair she lifted her head a little and saw a body attached to the spiky blonde head, a muscled arm laid across her abdomen and a long leg stretched out across both of hers. No wonder she couldn't feel anything!

 

She brought her right hand up and used it as a lever forcing the spiky blonde head up so she could manoeuvre her left arm out and then slowly inched herself up until her back was to the headboard and her knee's were up against her chest.

 

Her eyes widened as they fell on the face of the spiky blonde head.

 

'Why the rotten, lowlife, no-good son of a bitch!' Her mind screamed before she placed her feet into his chest and pushed. He landed with a heavy thump and his muffled cry of pain brought a satisfied smile to her face.

 

She waited with a raised brow as the top of his head poked up over the edge of the bed, his eyes almost fearful as they gazed back into hers.

 

"Hi," He smiled half heartedly and lifted his hand in a little wave then ducked as the clock that sat on the bedside table came flying at him.

 

"Where the hell am I?"

 

"Ah... Chris's cabin." He said trying to get to his feet, failing miserably as his foot came into contact with the end of the bed. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" He cried hopping around on one leg.

 

"Look out!" She said moving forward on the bed, but too late.

Christian hopped backwards into an arm chair that sat against one wall and toppled over it. She laughed at his legs which was all she could see sticking up from the other side of the armchair. She got up from the bed and walked around to where he lay. "Are you okay?"

 

"Sure," He mumbled reaching up to rub at his neck. "Just peachy."

 

She couldn't help the giggles that rose up inside her as she watched him right himself but as the reality of how she came to be asleep on the same bed as him filled her mind, her amusement soon turned back to anger.

 

"Where's Trish?"

 

He swallowed as he watched the emotions pass over her face.

 

"She's okay, s...she's next door with Jericho."

 

"With Jericho, hey?"

 

He nodded.

 

"Well, I can think of two reasons why you two CLB's would go to such extreme's to get Trish and I alone."

 

Christian highly doubted that, but he'd play along.

 

"And they would be?"

 

"A way to get at Austin or a way to get down our pants."

 

"Wrong!" Christian grinned waggling his finger up in front of her.

"That's not why we did this at all."

 

"Isn't it?"

 

"No." He smirked and folded his arms across his chest.

 

"Well, enlighten me then."

 

"I will."

 

"Okay."

 

"Okay."

 

She tapped her foot.

 

She tapped her foot some more.

 

"Waiting here,"

 

Christian swallowed.

 

"I know, I know, sheesh, show a little patience will you."

 

Lita pffft!

 

"If I show anymore patience I'd be asleep again."

 

"I'm fine with that," He readily agreed. "It was easier saying this to you while you were sleeping."

 

She cocked her eyebrow as she saw how difficult this actually was for him.

 

"What is it?"

 

"Lita," He said as he started to pace the floor space in front of the bed. "I'm young, I'm fit, I'm tolerably handsome... at least people say I'm tolerably handsome, I have a good job, although you know that already seeing as you work in the same company as I do but that's beside the point, the fact is I can support you just as well as anyone else can... especially a Hardy and I am willing too, if you'll have me."

 

"If I'll have... huh?"

 

"Jesus woman!" He exploded with raised hands. "I just bared my soul to you and all you can say is huh?"

 

"You call that baring your soul?"

 

"Gee, Lita, give me a break will you? I've never done this before and my nerves have doubled now that you’re awake."

 

Lita chuckled. 'He sure was cute when he was all flustered.' She thought running her finger along the bedspread.

 

"Fine, this is me cutting you a break, okay?"

 

"Okay." He replied settling himself on the end of the bed.

 

"Okay. Now correct me if I'm way off line here but I reckon what you are trying to say is you like me."

 

"Yes! Yes! That's exactly what I'm trying to say!"

 

"And that you want to date me."

 

"Yes!" He bounced excitedly causing the bed to shift underneath her.

 

"Now here's my question to you. Why? You've known me for a while, you know I'm not an easy lay."

 

"Because I want more, the whole package, I want to be you’re only lay from here on out."

 

"I see," She seemed to be mulling over what he'd just told her and he waited patiently, practically seeing the wheels in her head turn.

"And if I don’t want what you want?"

 

He shrugged.

 

"Then I'll take a stab at the easy lay." He laughed when she started hitting out at him and he caught her arms and pulled till she was against his chest. "My, my, Lita, the language! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

 

"You pig!"

 

"Be truthful, Lita, you want me. You and I both know you'd follow me to the ends of the earth."

 

"I wouldn't follow you to the end of the corridor."

 

He smiled, she was so quick to retort and he’d never known a woman so sharp of wit and he adored that part of her personality.

 

"Lita, Lita, Lita..." He kissed the tip of her nose and a knowing smile spread across his face when he heard her gasp. "When are you going to admit that you like me?"

 

"When you stop pussy footing around and admit what you really feel for me." She countered pushing away from him to scamper across the bed.

 

It was his turn to be confused.

 

"Huh?"

 

She sighed and moved across the bed till she was in front of him again.

 

"How do you 'really' feel about me?"

 

She heard him whisper her name and saw his head moving closer to hers and she stilled his efforts by cupping his cheeks with her hands.

 

"How do you feel?" She repeated.

 

"I love you, Lita."

 

She smiled.

 

"You do?"

 

He smiled.

 

"I do."

 

"Truly?"

 

He nodded and wrapped his arms around her, groaning as he felt her breasts press up against his chest.

 

"Very truly."

 

She mirrored his actions of before and kissed the tip of his nose.

 

"You, Christian, totally reek of awesomeness."

 

"And you, Lita," He moved back so he could pull out the chain that dangled from his neck. "Hold the key to my heart."

 

Lita gasped as she saw the tiny locket that hung from the chain and her eyes grew wide in realisation. She pulled up her sleeve and he saw the tiny key attached to the charm bracelet he had brought her for Christmas and secretly stowed away in her bags while no one was looking. "You were my secret admirer?"

 

"No."

 

"Oh."

 

"I still am your secret admirer, just it's not such a secret anymore."

 

She fought back her tears as she unhooked the tiny gold key and unlocked the locket at the end of the chain he wore around his neck.

Inside was the picture Jeff had taken ages ago of her, Christian and

Edge, 'At least Edge had been in the original picture' she giggled.

 

In the picture she was smiling as she stared at the camera and

Christian was smiling too, only his eyes were on her and his expression was that of a man in love.

 

"Oh, Christian," She whispered lifting her eyes back to his. "I love you, too."
